Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Director Li is off work"

"Haha, is this your granddaughter?"

When Li Xuewu came over, he saw a woman holding a child dressed as a girl and talking to the old lady.

"Yes, it's from the second child's family."

This woman obviously knew Li Xuewu. After saying hello, she saw that Li Xuewu came back and smiled with dignity.

Xu was very happy to be remembered by a division chief, and the smile on his face was also very proud.

"You should be busy. It's time to get off work. I have to rush back to cook."

The woman saw that Li Xuewu had not come to say hello to her, so she took her granddaughter and told the old lady and went out of the alley.

Before leaving, he politely said goodbye to Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu responded with a smile.

"Baba~baba~"

As soon as Li Shu saw Li Xuewu, she reached for it. When she saw that her father didn't talk to her, she kept shouting in her mouth.

Li Xuewu smiled and took his daughter over, took her little hand and kissed her, which made Li Shu giggle.

"who is this?"

"..."

The old lady was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's from the front yard, from Lao Wang's house."

Li Xuewu asked nonchalantly: "Isn't Mrs. Wang in her seventies or eighties? This one doesn't look like her."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't"

The old lady knew that her second grandson was smarter than a monkey, so she didn't recognize the person she just greeted.

"That's Mrs. Wang, this is Mrs. Wang!"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu grinned, dodged the slap from his daughter, stared for a moment to scare him, and then said: "I misremembered, I said I was looking at him in a panic."

After answering the old lady, she threatened Li Shu who wanted to beat her again: "Are you going to beat daddy? Are you too old?"

Li Shu looked at her father with wide eyes and waved her hand so hard that she almost hit herself.

"I can't take this girl anymore. She's so cruel. If she gets so cruel, she'll even hit herself!"

Li Xuewu handed the bag in his hand to the old lady, hugged her back bitterly, and slapped her twice on the buttocks.

Li Shu didn't mind the beating because it didn't hurt too much.

At this moment, when he was being held in reverse, he saw the person coming behind Li Xuewu, pointing with his little finger and making gurgling noises.

Li Xuewu also sighed a little at his daughter. The little devil had passed the stage of identifying things by listening to sounds. As he was able to walk, the way to explore the world became to touch with his hands.

Children's hands are not very strong, and they will slap you at any time, and you will be stunned.

It's not that the child is bad, or that the child wants to hit someone, but that the child wants to imitate the action when he sees an adult using tools or expressing emotions.

The old lady obviously knew that Li Shu had reached this stage and did not scare the child, nor did she stop Li Xuewu from scaring the child.

For several generations, children have been taken care of in such a muddle-headed way. No one has concluded that the correct and good way to care for and educate children is correct.

Li Xuewu was reluctant to beat his daughter, so he frightened her twice, hit her twice and then hugged her.

Following Li Shu's fingers, Li Xuewu turned around and saw a girl with two braids riding a bicycle into the alley.

There were many people riding bicycles in and out of this alley. Li Shu just pointed at Li Xuewu that this girl was obviously special.

"Hello, is this Courtyard No. 99?"

When the girl rode here and saw someone at the door, she stopped the car and asked the kinder old lady.

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes, but the door is over there."

“Thank you, aunt”

The girl smiled and thanked her, then pushed the cart to the concierge carrying two large bags.

What's novel about Li Shu is also the girl's unique clothes and bicycle. Postman is a very impressive profession at this time.

A 28-inch large truck had canvas bags hanging on the frame, in the front basket, and on both sides of the back seat. Special letters needed to be wrapped in cowhide.

Li Xuewu just glanced at it and didn't look again. Instead, he asked the old lady: "Why did the person wandering in the front yard come here?"

"Hi, please send a message"

The old lady straightened Li Shu's sleeves and said, "Your cousin is asking you when you will get married."

"Cousin grandma?"

Li Xuewu grinned, thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it in Fangshan? Is the news so good?"

"Haha, I'm poor in the busy city and no one cares."

The old lady muttered, and then explained: "She and your cousin are from the same village. She went back to her parents' house and talked about our family. Didn't she rush here to inquire about it?"

"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have remembered that I have this relative."

Li Xuewu said casually, and when he saw his daughter twisting her body to get off the ground, he looked at her little shoes and put them on the ground.

The old lady didn't care and said, "It's just a gift from a relative. Isn't that what it is? Your cousin is younger than me. We have three children in the family. The third child works at the road station in the city, and the eldest and second child are farming in the village." land".

There are impressions of these relatives in Li Xuewu's memory, but they have not been in contact with each other for several years and have little contact with them.

Furthermore, he had been away from home for three years and there was no news about him, and his family never mentioned it to him after he came back.

"If they come to our house later, don't show shame. It's not good."

"knew"

Li Xuewu nodded, and when he saw the postman girl coming back, he agreed.

His temperament is somewhat unique, but it should not prevent the older generation from contacting each other, and it would not be nice to talk about it.

People in this era still recognize relatives more. If relatives in rural areas are not doing well, people in the city will help them.

"Hello, are you Comrade Li Xuewu?"

The postman girl was obviously a bit dissatisfied with being slipped away for a while, and her tone was a bit stiff when she asked Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "My letter?"

"yes"

The postman took out a letter from the leather bag and said to Li Xuewu: "I have to see your ID."

Li Xuewu nodded and handed over his work permit.

Li Shu was a little shy, so when she saw the girl talking to her father, she instinctively hugged her father's legs.

The old lady didn't expect that the letter was from her own family. Seeing the postman's attitude, she knelt down and hugged the child.

The girl checked her work ID card, which had a photo on it. After checking the information, she handed the letter to Li Xuewu.

There was no surprise, just a gentler tone.

"Comrade, you have to sign for me."

As he spoke, he took a cardboard book and handed it over.

Li Xuewu took the note, signed his name, and asked casually: "Where did it come from?"

"Inner city"

After replying, he put away the notebook, kicked off the car ladder neatly, and rode away.

Li Xuewu took the letter and looked at it, and then he knew who gave it to him.

The old lady doesn't regard her grandson as a child now, and she doesn't mean to inquire about her in the correspondence, and she doesn't ask any questions.

Li Shu was more concerned about her father. She pointed with her little hand, raised her big eyes and said, "Yeah!"

This means: Bring it over and let me see!

Li Xuewu ignored her, opened the envelope and looked at it. There were two tickets, for the Chinese Yangko Dance Troupe and the Red Detachment of Women, for the night of the 30th.

This was what we had agreed upon when we met Huang Qian a few days ago, and we made an appointment to go see the show on Sunday.

Seeing her father's mysterious look, Li Shu became even more worried. She hugged the old lady's neck and rushed towards Li Xuewu to exert force.

The old lady turned around, changed her direction, hugged her and walked towards the front room.

"Look, let's see what Auntie Xiao Yan'er is doing."

Basically, when the weather is nice, the old lady will come here to play with Li Shu in her arms, and it's the same today.

When Xiao Yaner saw the little devil from the Li family entering the house, he seemed to be irritating him, so he quickly cut a small piece of pig liver and stuffed it into his hand.

This child is also easy to coax, as long as it is food, it will not be a bother to others.

Li Xuewu put the envelope away, followed it into the house, took the bag from the old lady's hand, and greeted Xiao Yan'er and others.

At this moment, only Er Ye and Xiao Yan'er are busy in the house, and Shen Guodong and the others haven't come back yet.

There were not many customers, but there was a furniture conservator next door, and the voices came through the curtains.

Li Xuewu didn't go there, he just turned around the shelves and looked at the counter.

Wen San'er had been gone for more than half a month, and most of the electrical appliances on the shelves were gone.

Because only Wen Saner in this shop has the skills to repair electrical appliances, there are many broken ones in the warehouse now, and there are basically no good ones.

The economic situation is improving this year. Although there are constant storms, the wages of workers are unshakable.

“Not many people come to the store to sell scraps.”

"Well, it's missing."

The second master took a cigarette from Li Xuewu and said back: "We have more cars, and the collection range is also wider. It is normal for the store to be short."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Let's discuss this with Lao Biaozi tonight. This shelf cannot be empty."

It was also rare for him to come and point out any problems he saw.

Now Lao Biaozi is busy with the general management, including delivering and picking up goods. Shen Guodong is in charge of ten trucks and those few boys, while Er Baoer is responsible for serving the regular customers alone.

After Wen San'er left, the account book was handed over to Er Hao'er. Although the demand from these regular customers was small, the flow of money was steady and the profits created for the recycling station were not small every month.

The things Li Xuewu brought back several times are about to be emptied, and this does not include the vegetables, chicken, rabbit eggs and other meaty foods that Lao Biaozi brought back from Hongxing Village from time to time.

The second master knocked on the cigarette, then lit it with his mouth in his mouth. He took a puff and said to Li Xuewu: "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, but I haven't come back yet. I said I wanted to talk to them to see if there were any other goods." generation".

Seeing that Lao Biaozi had already thought of it, Li Xuewu said no more, nodded to the second master, said something to the old lady, and ran to the back door to the courtyard.

——

"Yo, so lively"

When Li Xuewu entered the courtyard, he saw neighbors standing in the front yard, all looking towards the middle courtyard.

"Haha, Shazhu is crazy."

Lao Qixu also just got off work, so he replied when he saw Li Xuewu.

At this time, dust was rising in the middle courtyard, and everyone was looking at the middle courtyard through the doorway where Lao Qi's family lived.

When they saw Lao Qi talking, everyone turned around and saw Li Xuewu coming in.

Li Xuewu didn't know whether Si Zhu was crazy or not, but he looked at it as if there was no wind at this moment, the dust in the courtyard would have to wait to disperse.

"Demolition or demolition?"

Li Xuewu took one look and lost interest, turned around and entered his home.

Liu Yin was lighting the fire at the moment. When she saw Li Xuewu coming in, she said, "Have you seen your breasts?"

"What's wrong with the concierge?"

Li Xuewu replied while carrying his bag into the back room.

Li Xue was doing homework at the desk and greeted Li Xuewu when he came in.

"I was thinking of telling your grandma not to come over right now. Silly Zhu demolished the house and raked in the dirt."

Li Xuewu looked out the window, sat by the kang and leaned against the wall and asked his mother, "Has the roof been demolished?"

“Not so good”

Adding fuel to the fire, Liu Yin walked into the house and said, "I just sent notices to all households to collect their clothes and not to bury them. They said that the roofs of the houses must be ripped off and even the big gables must be demolished."

"Haha, no wonder Lao Qi said he was crazy."

At this time, building a house rarely involves major demolition. At most, it means demolishing the roof and following the stupid pillars, which means that it is bulldozed and rebuilt.

Liu Yin stood in the living room holding a fire stick, looking at the backyard through the window glass and said, "I can't even say yes. When Master Dou came, I saw that the wall tiles in the west room were broken."

"He is also extremely diligent. He only cares about living and not repairing."

Li Xuewu couldn't go home for a while, so he could only stay here. He stretched out the pillow on the kang cabinet and lay on the kang.

Liu Yin saw her son's casual look and didn't say anything. She just asked, "Has Xiaoning's family replied to the letter? We need to prepare here."

"When you come back, just do as I say."

Li Xuewu replied to his mother's words, and thought of Gu Ning's tone at that time.

"That's good, prepare early and don't worry."

Liu Yin turned around and continued to fill the firewood, and asked, "I'm going to buy quilt cover for you this weekend. When will you get the cotton back?"

"tomorrow"

Only then did Li Xuewu remember what he had promised his mother, and he responded: "I will also bring back the cloth under the quilt. Don't buy it."

"knew"

Liu Yin responded and continued busy.

Li Xuewu looked at the south room and asked, "Where are Aunt Zhao and the others? Why don't they see anyone?"

"Going to school"

Li Xue took the initiative to reply to her brother's words and said: "I went to see my sister-in-law, and I said I would come back together tomorrow."

Li Xuewu nodded. Seeing that his sister had finished her homework, he waved and said to his mother who was busy in the living room: "Gu Ning said that her mother wants to go to the shipping warehouse with you. What time can we set?"

When Liu Yin heard her son's words, she put down her work first, walked to the door of the back room and asked, "Did her mother say that?"

"yes"

Li Xuewu took out two dollars from his pocket and handed an industrial coupon to Li Xue. Li Xue felt a little embarrassed now and glanced at his mother before accepting it.

Liu Yin didn't stop her anymore, and just continued: "Maybe I don't have time this weekend, and I have to pick up your luggage for you, and your sister-in-law's mother is also here, so I have to take it out for a walk. It's Monday. Coming back."

"Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Li Xuewu saw his sister sitting next to him, so he pushed her with his knee and told her to stay away.

Li Xue got the benefit and was just thinking about pleasing her brother. When she saw her brother pushing her, she learned to be thick-skinned. She took off her shoes and got on the kang and sat next to Li Xuewu.

"He said there is still a family at home and there is still work in the fields."

Liu Yin also understood her in-laws. After all, they lived in the countryside and couldn't live like they did in the city.

Whether it's taking care of the elders or younger ones in the family, or working in the fields to earn work points, these days are a long enough time.

I have an honest nature, but I feel a little uncomfortable staying here. I always want to help, but there is not so much work to do.

Apart from Liu Yin and the old lady accompanying him for a while, or doing household chores, there was no other way to make a living.

If I hadn't thought about waiting for my daughter to come back for one more day, I would have gone back in a hurry.

"Then come with me on Monday and take the commuter bus back to the steel rolling mill."

Li Xuewu made arrangements and said to his mother: "Let's go to the shipping warehouse next weekend."

"Then it will be next weekend."

Liu Yin agreed with her son's opinion, and then added: "I finished the luggage in just one week and sent it to the new house in time for the weekend."

"Don't worry, it will take some time."

Li Xuewu didn't expect his mother to be in such a hurry and want to make the quilt in a week.

I had already agreed to take the fabric and cotton to the inverted bed room to make it, because the kang there was spacious and easy to cut.

Everyone is busy during the day. Who can help? Even Yu Li and others have to go to work during the day, so they can only refer to the time after dinner.

Liu Yin had a good plan and said, "I said I'm not in a hurry. Did I ask you to make a report?"

"Fight, Gu Ning's too."

At this time, marriages were reported, and Li Xuewu, who was not a mother, replied: "I did it the day before yesterday, and Gu Ning did it yesterday."

"According to the time, it will arrive next week."

Liu Yin said calculatingly: "You can get the certificate after applying. If you don't make this luggage, how can you be honest?"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "Just talking about being in a hurry is like chasing a rabbit. Once the date is set, there is no time to rest."

Liu Yin glared at her son and said, "You said you were looking for someone to make new clothes. Have you found someone?"

"Looking for it"

Li Xuewu had long forgotten about this problem. He went to work every day and could think about anything.

Besides, he really didn't think the time was so tight. He just had to make the new clothes before the wedding. There was only one month left.

As soon as Liu Yin saw her son's answer, she knew that he must not have remembered it, so she nagged: "Hurry up and look for it. You don't have to take a photo when you get your marriage certificate? Why don't you take a photo in old clothes?"

Li Xuewu felt that his head was a little bigger. If he followed his mother's plan, he would be able to get the certificate next week.

According to the law, he and Gu Ning can live together.

But he wants to eat shit.

Obtaining the certificate does not mean that they can live together, because at this time, etiquette must be followed, and the wedding can only be done before they can live together.

Otherwise, although there is no legal error, it would be imperfect in the eyes of the two families.

After all, the grand certificate-style marriage certificate only represents that two people are married, but it has not yet become a ceremony.

Therefore, Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu could use the certificate to purchase wedding utensils openly.

"I guess not"

Li Xuewu lay on the pillow and patted away his sister's hand, and responded to his mother's words: "She has to wear a uniform, and I have to wear a uniform."

Li Xuewu is not talking about wedding photos, but ID photos, marriage certificate photos.

At this time, it is important to pay attention to this. If one or both parties in the couple have a special occupation, they can be photographed in uniform for the marriage certificate.

"Let me take a look, I can't take the photo twice."

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at his mother and said: "Take the wedding photos first, then the clothes are ready and we have our own cameras, and then we take the photos ourselves."

"It's up to you"

Liu Yin just babbled. Seeing that her son had an idea, she didn't say anything more and turned around and returned to the stove.

Li Xue looked at her second brother and asked, "Are you tired of getting married?"

"What? Are you sharing my worries?"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes while lying on the pillow. This sister was beginning to look unlovable.

Li Xue looked at her second brother and said, "Shall I give you a squeeze on your shoulders and a pat on your back?"

“Don’t even think about it”

Li Xuewu lay on the pillow, closed his eyes, and said, "My pocket is cleaner than my face now, and I only have the little left for you."

"I do not believe!"

Li Xue said angrily: "The third uncle across from me said that your salary is more than 300 yuan a month, and the tickets you receive are more than playing cards."

"Do you believe what he says?"

Li Xuewu knew that there were no good people among the crowd. The third uncle opposite him had been recuperating at home for more than a month. He had no self-cultivation at all and would talk to his wife.

"Dad is only over seventy a month, how can I get more than dad?"

"Ahem"

At this moment, Li Shun came into the room. Hearing that his son seemed to be mocking him, he coughed dissatisfiedly and reminded his son not to be presumptuous.

Li Xuewu was also unlucky. He originally wanted to fool his sister, but he didn't want to ask his father to listen.

It's really okay if you say this behind your father's back, but if your father hears it, it will inevitably make the old father a little embarrassed.

Because now Li Xuewu does earn more than his father.

Li Xue also saw her second brother's embarrassment, pursed her lips and made a face to shame Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu pinched his sister's ankle and was about to retaliate, but when he saw his father entering the house, he let go.

"Sit or not"

Li Shun glanced at his son, scolded him angrily, and then went to wash his hands.

Li Xuewu knew that his father wanted to find fault with him. Even if he was in trouble, he would scold him from other places.

When his father came out, Li Xuewu threatened Li Xue: "If you follow me again, my pocket money will be gone next month."

"I do not believe"

Li Xue looked at her second brother and said, "If you don't give it to me, you will go with your second sister-in-law."

"Haha~ As you wish"

Can Li Xuewu still be threatened?

"Second brother~~"

Seeing that she had miscalculated, Li Xue quickly made amends: "I didn't spend money randomly."

As he spoke, he leaned into Li Xuewu's ear and whispered: "My sister-in-law's little sister is here. I want to buy something for her, but Aunt Zhao keeps blocking me. I don't have enough money in my pocket..."

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at his sister and asked, "Really?"

"You do not trust me!"

Li Xue seemed to have been greatly wronged, her eyes widened and she was about to cry.

Li Xuewu curled his lips and squinted his eyes, and said, "Who did you learn this trick from? It's a bit of a copycat."

"I don't care. Anyway, you have to provide some support. Third brother was robbed by me, but he has no money, so he can only rely on you."

Li Xue coquettishly shook Li Xuewu's clothes and begged, "Good second brother~"

"Eh~~~"

Li Xuewu grinned and rubbed his arms and said, "I'm getting goosebumps. I beg you, please? Stop talking like that."

He took out another five dollars from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "I told you, I have to use the right opportunity to give gifts. Pay attention to your attitude. They can't be expensive or ostentatious."

Li Xue was a girl with a clear mind. She smiled and said, "I know Yaping is sensitive. I am very careful when I take her out to play."

“Treat with a normal attitude”

Seeing his sister's cleverness, Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The more polite you are, the more uncomfortable she will be."

"I know, second brother"

Li Xue responded and was about to get off the ground, but was held back by Li Xuewu.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it agreed that you should pinch your shoulders and hit your back??"

"Don't you need it?"

Li Xue smiled, raised the money in her hand, jumped off the ground, and replied to Li Xuewu: "I already have the money, why should I bother with that?"

"Okay, I remember"

Li Xuewu frightened him with a straight face and continued to lie down. This threat had no power at all. He didn't even bother to get up and give chase. Naturally, Li Xue didn't take it seriously.

She knew that her second brother was kind-hearted. If Zhao Yaping and her sister-in-law hadn't been sisters, she would never have thought of paying attention to this little girl from the village.

In the past, my sister-in-law often talked about the hardships her family had when she was a child, and Li Xue somewhat understood.

But when she saw Zhao Yaping, who was wearing some shabby clothes, she realized what the poverty described by her sister-in-law was like.

Even in the most difficult time, the Li family did not run out of food, and the clothes they wore for Li Xue were not as old as they were.

After all, girls have to be soft-hearted. They always want to repay their sister-in-law for being kind to them, so they want to give Zhao Yaping some help.

But children from rural areas become sensible earlier. When Zhao Yaping came from home, her mother and father warned her not to ask for anything casually when she came here, and not to ask for anything casually when she was given.

This is the last insistence of rural people.

Li Xue also saw what Zhao Yaping and his sister-in-law's mother meant, so he wanted to save some money to buy books and stationery for Zhao Yaping, and also wanted to buy her a pair of shoes, just like the ones he wore.

Every time I see Zhao Yaping peeking at her little white shoes, she probably likes them because they are tight.

Li Xue went out, and Li Shun came in to talk to Li Xuewu about the house.

It was the house of the third son in the east courtyard, and the money was made by Li Shun and Master Dou. However, he felt that Master Dou wanted less, so he thought it was related to the second son.

Li Xuewu didn't explain much about his relationship with Master Dou to his father, because Master Dou did the work for himself, and there was no relationship with the public, so Li Xuewu didn't care much about it.

When Li Shun saw that his son knew about this, he didn't say anything more. He was afraid that Master Dou would use this to corrupt his son in the future.

Although Li Shun looked down upon his son's approach to certain things, he did not deny his son's excellence.

This excellence is not something he said, it was someone else’s.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the old lady came back with Li Shu in her arms, and then Li Xuewu returned to the backyard.

When they entered the middle courtyard, they saw Master Dou and Silly Zhu standing in the courtyard, talking to the opened house.

Yes, Silly Pillar's main house was opened, it was the kind that was opened. The roof was gone, the gables were gone, and only the base was left.

The base is higher than the ground in the courtyard. It is made of stone. This does not need to be moved. It can be built directly on the original foundation.

"They all say you're crazy"

Li Xuewu walked up and replied to Shazhu who greeted him.

"Haha, I'm going crazy."

Silly Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "It's a good place to live. When you take it apart, the rafters are all soft."

"If you live like this, even if the beam is not crisp, it will be picked up."

Master Dou said with a smile: "How can anyone live in a house without tight tiles? It has been left unchecked for more than ten years and the leakage has become serious. How can I survive the summer?"

"Use a basin to catch it"

Silly Zhu smiled and said: "It's raining heavily outside, and it's raining moderately inside, haha."

Li Xuewu also smiled. Silly Zhu had a good attitude, as if he didn't care about anything and was laughing and joking all day long.

"It's okay. You don't need to build beams or anything, and it's quick to build."

Master Dou threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and explained to Shazhu and Li Xuewu: "A week, about a week, I will work hard for you, and the decoration will be completed in a week."

While talking, he asked again: "What do you want to pretend to be? Like Director Li's family?"

"Yeah"

Silly Zhu smiled and said: "Just follow that standard. It's all a struggle anyway, why not go for the good."

Li Xuewu took a look and said with a smile: "The money is not enough to make a sound."

After saying that, he went to the backyard to change clothes.

Silly Zhu replied to Li Xuewu and followed Master Dou outside.

Today is the first day. Master Dou has worked overtime. At this time, Shazhu sent him out and walked to the gate before saying: "It's not that we treat him differently. The decoration materials in Director Li's house are not easy to dig out. If I can find it, I won't talk nonsense. If I can't find it, you can find it yourself. If you can't find it again, you will have to replace it."

"I see"

Silly Zhu nodded and said: "If I can't find it, I'll ask Li Xuewu. If he can't find it, I don't have to look for it."

Master Dou didn't expect that Sha Zhu had such a good relationship with Li Xuewu. He smiled, nodded, said hello and left.

Silly Zhu was not doing anything under the banner of Li Xuewu. At this moment, he went back to the backyard to look at the ruins of his home, and then came to the backyard with a grin on his face.

Entering the backyard, he saw Liu Guangtian going out to fetch water. Silly Zhu just looked down on Liu Haizhong's family. How could he pay any attention to Liu Guangtian? He turned his face and pretended not to see it, and went to Li Xuewu's house.

Liu Guangtian also has a bad temper. If you ignore me, I don’t want to talk to you yet. I pretend not to see you and carry the bucket to the Moon Gate.

His father is currently working in the security office, and he and his brother have to do all the work at home. His mother cannot do heavy work, so she can only cook now.

When he came back from fetching water, he took a look at Li Xuewu's house, gritted his teeth and returned home.

He no longer fantasizes about entering the security office. With his current family background, it is not bad for him not to be excluded in the workshop.

Fortunately, he had been working with the workshop for some time, otherwise he would really have suffered.

Right now, many people looked at him with contempt, as if he had done the same things his father did.

The faucet of the whole courtyard is in the middle courtyard, and it is close to the direction of the uncle's house.

Every time Liu Guangtian went to fetch water, it felt like he was going to the execution ground, and he had to bear a burden in his heart.

Aunt Xu also sensed his emotions. Every time she saw him fetching water, she went into the house and hid. She didn't want to intensify the conflict, but she also didn't want to take the initiative to ease it.

Yi Zhonghai took it for granted. Since there was a conflict, there was no possibility of returning to the situation as before.

Not to mention the punishment Liu Haizhong suffered, just the amount of money paid by the Liu family, no one can be comfortable.

Liu Haizhong apologized in the hospital, but when he returned to the hospital, he never spoke to Yi Zhonghai again, nor did he see her face to face.

Liu Guangtian is now the pillar of the Liu family. He dare not hate Li Xuewu, but that doesn't mean he doesn't blame Li Xuewu.

I had long begged Li Xuewu to enter the security office, but was disappointed again and again, waiting from winter to spring.

If he had entered the security office earlier and his father's matter had happened, wouldn't he have solved it earlier?

Not to mention how much my father suffered, at least he didn't have to pay so much money.

——

No one can handle everything, not even Li Xuewu.

He was already trying his best to maintain the relationship and live as comfortably as possible.

There was only so much he could do for his family and his neighbors.

The environment and society have certain invisible limits. The more you ask for, the more you pay.

When a person's desires are not satisfied, he will take desperate measures.

When faced with sudden wealth, his family will also fall. This is the evil of money.

"Everyone, assemble!"

Wei Tong jumped out of the car from the passenger seat, and then waved with a serious face to signal the team to assemble.

Today we brought hundreds of people down from the mountain, enough to keep him busy.

We set off at around five in the morning, and the sun had already risen by the time we arrived in the west of the city.

Breakfast was eaten on the road, two steamed buns per person, which was better than usual.

All trainees at the training site were wearing neat uniforms and did not carry weapons. They stood in line under the command of leader Wei Tonghe.

Then the cadres here led them to the nearest observation position of the execution ground.

"Have you always been so cruel?"

Li Xuewu stood beside the car, standing with the team leaders from the branch.

Shen Fang also came, bringing people from two squadrons of the Public Security Brigade, one on each side of the group with the people Wei Tong brought.

Wang Xiaoqin looked at the torture car, then at the teams watching on both sides, and couldn't help but ask Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu did not answer, but took a puff of cigarette and looked in the direction of the execution ground.

Now there is just a pit there, not too big, because it is not just dead and buried.

The hole was dug just so that the blood would not flow everywhere. What was buried was blood and the tofu brain that splattered out after the head was smashed.

Hanya Ting looked at Li Xuewu and then at Wang Xiaoqin, without replying.

This is not the first time she has seen this scene. Last time she had the honor to follow Li Xuewu as a representative to see it.

Not to mention the relatives of Fu Bin who were tortured today, even the director... didn't even see him blink an eye.

This cannot be called ruthless.

The first person from the Security Department was Fan Hua. She was transferred from the Confidential Section and had never seen such a scene.

But now she kind of understands why Hannya Ting told her not to have breakfast this morning last night.

The person in charge of the execution was not from the First Prison, nor from the Public Security Brigade, but from the District Zhengfa. Li Xuewu did not know the leader of the team.

But it had been communicated long ago, and the two units he led could observe nearby.

However, the leading cadre still looked at the people here from time to time. He knew that standing in the middle was the deputy director of the branch in charge of security and operations.

This is a newcomer and a ruthless person. It is really rare for him to use executions to train his team.

However, this training method is indeed effective. The teams that have seen blood and the teams that have not seen blood are completely different things.

Although Li Xuewu was ruthless, he also knew that in fact, what the deputy director originally applied for was not to observe the execution nearby, but to execute the execution.

That's right, he is applying for the two teams he brought to carry out the operation.

However, this suggestion was rejected by his supervisor because Li Xuewu's influence was large enough.

If even this kind of task is given to him, it will really be a one-stop service.

After the layout of the execution ground was completed, the leading cadre first led the execution team to inspect the execution location, made final requirements, and then waved to the execution vehicle.

The officer in charge of the criminal vehicle waved to the escort, and two armed police officers in uniforms walked to the truck. The police officers in the same uniforms in the vehicle escorted the first prisoner wearing a hood. The two people who got off the car grabbed their arms and took him out of the car.

There was no wooden sign behind him, and there was no farewell wine. This was not a public execution, so there were no such things.

The officer in charge of the torture car walked up to the first prisoner with a book in his hand and asked the officer next to him to take off his hood.

"Fu Changhua?!"

The person being escorted was indeed Fu Changhua. Li Xuewu recognized him and he also saw Li Xuewu.

Hearing the cadre in front of him verify his identity, Fu Changhua did not answer, but stared at Li Xuewu.

He still remembers the conversation he had with Li Xuewu when they first met. This little section chief was so crazy.

Unexpectedly, my misery today was caused by the little section chief whom I didn't look down on.

"How is my dad?"

Fu Changhua knew that his father was sick because he had not seen his father since he was detained.

He asked him many questions during the interrogation, and the case was finally closed. The detention cadre was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he told the truth.

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and saw the escort officer looking over, but did not express his position.

He was not in charge today and could not affect the other party's execution of the mission. However, since Fu Changhua asked, he shook his head slightly.

Fu Changhua's originally gray face turned completely gray in an instant, and he was already lifeless even before he was tortured.

The two of them had never fought each other, let alone faced each other head-on. It could be said that Li Xuewu had no attitude towards him.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to tell him the truth, which would be an expression of gratitude for his cooperation.

Fu Changhua no longer looked at Li Xuewu because his eyes had lost the light. After the escort officer asked twice, he nodded stiffly.

The escort officer frowned and waved his hand, and the two escort officers grabbed his arms and headed to the execution ground.

As usual, you have to kneel, and the hemp rope on your body is untied at the edge of the pit, not completely untied, but only at the arms, so that the escort can fix the prisoner's posture.

Each of the two escorts grabbed an arm, and the one who executed him held a horse rifle with the muzzle of the gun pressed against the back of Fu Changhua's head.

"Open your mouth!"

"boom!"

The sound of the gunshot was crisp, and Li Xuewu frowned slightly and raised his head.

This kind of scene is not unfamiliar to him, not just from the last time, but in the south, it was more intense and thrilling than now.

This has never happened before. It is common for a platoon to attack a company on the opposite side, and it is also common for a battalion to attack.

After the gunshot, Fu Changhua pounced forward without even a speck of dust flying up.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, his world ended.

After the executioner fired, he held his gun and backed away. His mission for today was completed.

The two people holding the rope untied the rope from Fu Changhua's body, turned over and kicked him.

In fact, there was no need to bother. Wei Tong looked carefully and saw that the bullet entered from the back of Fu Changhua's head. The entrance was small and the exit in front was large.

Fu Changhua has changed beyond recognition, and the test of life and death is just a formality.
