Men and women eating in the courtyard

"It's the old lady"

Li Xuewu didn't hide anything anymore and told what happened in the afternoon.

The old lady's condition and father's diagnosis were also mentioned.

Gu Ning only felt a dull feeling in her heart.

She got along very well with the old lady, at least in her opinion.

Although the words she said to the old lady were much less than what the old lady said to her.

When the two of them met, the old lady looked at her and smiled, and she looked at the old lady and smiled.

But in her heart, Gu Ning regarded the old lady as a relative because of Li Xuewu and because of the amiability of Li Xuewu's family.

Gu Ning's heart is a little closed and lonely, but she is not a naturally cold and unfeeling person.

It's just...it's just that she is not good at expressing some emotions.

As soon as Li Xuewu finished speaking, Gu Ning pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "How about... let's live in the house in the backyard."

Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at Gu Ning, then smiled warmly.

This girl's heart is soft enough, but she looks cold and hard on the outside.

It was precisely this coldness and hardness that protected her pure heart and nature.

"The old lady will be angry"

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked forward. Although it was not dark yet, there were already thousands of lights.

With Gu Ning by his side and a home to return to, Li Xuewu had a new definition of marriage.

"The old lady didn't keep her son close to her. The second uncle is in Jicheng and the third uncle is in Yangcheng."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "She will not keep her grandchildren close to her. Her hope is to spread their branches and leaves."

Gu Ning listened to Li Xuewu's ramble, but did not answer.

When parents are here, if you don't travel far away, you will have a way to travel.

Even if he is "well-prepared", he still cannot escape the reality of being far away from his parents. How could Gu Ning not understand the old lady's longing for her relatives.

The two sons' "proper ways" are mostly due to helplessness and compromises on survival and life.

No one in this life is constantly making compromises, even she listened to her parents' teachings when she was young, listened to their parents' opinions when she was admitted to college, and listened to her parents' arrangements when she went to work.

Even in her love life, she listens to her parents' objections and their approval.

There is nothing wrong with compromising.

Li Xuewu's second uncle and third uncle did nothing wrong in running away for their future, and Gu Ning did nothing wrong in listening to her parents' opinions and arrangements.

It can be seen from the choice of Li Xuewu that she can feel the care and concern from her parents' opinions.

Using oneself to judge others, Gu Ning can better understand the old lady and the current Li Xuewu.

Looking at Li Xuewu's melancholy smile, Gu Ning paused and said, "Then stay a few more days."

"Hehehe~"

Listening to Gu Ning's "compromise" proposal, Li Xuewu couldn't help laughing, and nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Gu Ning didn't look at Li Xuewu anymore. She knew that the smile on this man's face was happy now.

When the two people's cars arrived at the west courtyard, work was being completed here.

Shen Guodong sent the bag in his hand into the warehouse, walked out and called Gu Ning "sister-in-law" as he got out of the car.

Gu Ning smiled and nodded, signaled to Li Xuewu, and walked into the courtyard first.

Li Xuewu waved his hands to Shen Guodong, indicating that he would be busy first and talk in the evening after cleaning up.

After catching up with Gu Ning and entering the Weeping Flower Gate together, the excitement in the house started again.

When Li Xuewu came back, only his younger brother Li Xueli came out to pick him up. When Gu Ning came, the second aunt and mother walked out of the living room, followed by the eldest sister Li Juan.

Although Li Juan came from Jicheng, like her second aunt, she represented the Li family, and it was etiquette to go out to pick up the newcomer Gu Ning.

In fact, it was the second aunt who loved Wujiwu and Li Xuewu, so she felt that Li Xuewu's wife liked him.

In addition, Liu Yin, the elder sister-in-law, praised the second daughter-in-law again and again. Even the old lady admitted that she was good. How could she not like it?

Facing the second aunt's enthusiasm, Li Xuewu was really worried that Gu Ning wouldn't be able to bear it.

Gu Ning, however, did not use him to save the situation. She smiled and greeted her second aunt and eldest sister under the introduction of her mother-in-law.

"Oh, you are really blessed with this face."

Han Xiumei didn't look at Li Xuewu anymore, but followed Liu Yin, holding Gu Ning's hand into the house, and kept praising him.

Even though Gu Ning had endured Li Xuewu's shameless humiliation, she still couldn't help but blush.

This, this is too much to praise~

When Gu Ning entered the back room and followed Li Xuewu's introduction, he called his second uncle. After being polite for a while, the old lady called him to his side.

The old lady was sitting on the kang in the back room, the eldest grandma was in the middle, and brothers Li Shun and Li Gan were sitting on the kang in the back room.

The little devil Li Shu is currently sitting in Grandpa's arms and eating snacks.

Gu Ning looked at Ji Yuxiu and her sister-in-law who were sitting on the bed opposite, and wanted to go over, but was waved by the old lady and told her to sit beside the kang.

Seeing Gu Ning in trouble, Ji Yuxiu smiled and said, "Let grandma treat you sparingly. I will treat you the same way this afternoon."

"Hahaha~"

Ji Yuxiu was different now that she had become the director, and she helped Gu Ning relieve his embarrassment with just a few words.

Gu Ning followed her second aunt and sat beside the kang next to the old lady amidst the laughter of everyone.

"Look at this face, ah~"

The more the second aunt looked at Gu Ning, the more she felt strange. This girl was so noble and lucky.

I said it once at the door, and now I came in and said it to the old lady again.

The old lady smiled and patted Han Xiumei's arm and said, "Stop talking, my three granddaughter-in-laws are all here today~"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing the old lady taking the initiative to make a joke, everyone also laughed.

Ji Yuxiu sat next to her sister-in-law and continued: "I don't care, I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law will secretly deal with the second sister-in-law in the future, haha."

Zhao Yafang pretended to be fierce and threatened Ji Yuxiu: "I'll take care of you first~"

"Hahaha~"

…

Gu Ning's arrival raised the atmosphere in the room to a higher level. Li Xuewu watched the old lady take a nap, her energy improved a lot, and she felt relieved.

The women in the room were joking, while the men could only laugh along and watch the fun.

Even if you speak, you have to keep your voice low so as not to disturb their excitement.

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brothers Xuewen, Li Xuecai and Li Xueli who were standing aside.

Look at the sisters-in-law, Ji Yuxiu, Li Juan and Li Xue sitting on the bed.

He couldn't even find a place to sit, and he couldn't even do as well as his eldest daughter Li Shu.

When Li Shu saw her father coming in, she didn't dare to say anything boldly or ask for a hug.

Because my father brought that woman here again, and she was sitting on the edge of the kang.

At this moment, Li Shu's big eyes looked at the head of the kang, but she found that the woman was looking at her.

Both the old lady and Han Xiumei noticed Gu Ning's gaze, and now they both slowed down their speech and their voices.

Sitting in her grandfather's arms, Li Shu hesitated for a moment, pinched the dried shrimp in her hand and looked at it, but she still stood up with her calves.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Deng Deng Deng quickly ran to Gu Ning with his calves in the air.

"Yeah~"

Gu Ning looked at the half dried shrimp handed to him and couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't pick up the dried shrimps, but stretched out his hand to help Li Shu tidy up her tucked-in clothes.

When Li Shu saw that she didn't want it, she withdrew her hand, followed Gu Ning's strength, and sat directly on Gu Ning's lap, leaning against Gu Ning's body.

This time, both the old lady and Han Xiumei laughed out loud.

"This little clever guy! He even knows how to give it to his mother~"

Han Xiumei smiled and teased Li Shu's little hand. Li Shu raised his eyes and looked at her, but he sighed like his grandfather before.

I, Li Shu, have to shoulder everything after all...

This little appearance made everyone laugh again.

Gu Ning saw her when he entered the room, and it was only now that he had time to tease her.

He took the handkerchief on Li Shu's chest and wiped Li Shu's saliva, while the little devil obediently let Gu Ning take care of him.

The two got along very well, and the last worries of the Li family disappeared.

Liu Yin cleaned up the living room and went into the back room. She nodded at her eldest granddaughter who was in the arms of her daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "She is very clever. She knows how to coax people."

The old lady's eyes were always on Gu Ning. She asked about work and how her family was doing, and Gu Ning responded with Li Shu in her arms.

When Li Xuewu saw that the time was almost up, Lao Biaozi signaled to him at the door and asked Li Xuecai to come out and move the table.

The eldest brothers Xuewen and Li Xueli also came out to help. Li Xuecai still wanted to be polite, but the two of them murmured in a low voice: Instead of standing around in the house, it would be better to come out and work.

The Li family didn't start the fire for dinner. They invited someone from the other side of the house to bring them out together, the cook under the stupid pillar.

If nothing else happens, the Li family will not open fire tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. They will all go to the dining room to eat.

There are four people in the second uncle's family and three people in the third uncle's family. Suddenly there are seven more people, but there is no room for them here.

Li Xuewu discussed it with his mother and arranged for the whole room to be prepared uniformly.

"Come here~"

Shen Guodong walked into the room with a smile, brought a few dishes on a tray, and shouted, be careful~

The two Eight Immortals tables in Li Xuewu's house were set up, plus a table was set up on the kang, and he was about to sit down.

Li Xuewu couldn't get up to the table on the kang. There was the old lady, his eldest grandma, his father, his second uncle, and his daughter Li Shu.

The mother, second aunt, eldest sister and sister-in-law were sitting at a table in the living room. Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu were also at this table.

The remaining table consisted of young people of their generation, with the eldest brother Xuewen taking the lead and the youngest Li Xueli taking the lead.

He also invited the cooks Shazhu and Lao Biaozi to introduce his younger brother Li Xueli to a few people, and then started drinking together.

Li Xueli looked at the good brothers on the table one by one and said shyly: "I don't have a good drinking capacity... I'm not very good at drinking..."

"Hey! We like you to be honest like this."

When Lao Biaozi and Shazhu heard that Li Xueli said he didn't know how to drink, their eyes immediately lit up.

Several people even looked at each other, and even Li Xuewu could see the excitement in their eyes.

There is one here, but to be honest, their drinking capacity is not that good.

Even though Silly Zhu is the oldest here, he is actually the weakest and can't even compete with his elder brother Xue Wen.

The eldest brother Xue Wen drinks in silence and doesn't say a word. He drinks when you drink. He doesn't get off the table if you don't. If you drink, he doesn't drink.

The old Biaozi can shout, he is the best in this room, but his ability to drink can only rely on his youth to beat the fool.

But these guys are all familiar with each other, and Li Xuewu is the same. Even if you think you can't drink it, you will drink it to the end with you.

The main thing is a scam!

Lao Biaozi is now holding Li Xueli's shoulders, cooperating with Shen Guodong next to him, and Silly Zhu is helping him, teasing Li Xueli to drink.

The second uncle at the table in the back room and the second aunt at the next table also noticed the excitement here.

I am also very happy to see my son being popular, and I am not worried at all about what will happen to my son if he drinks too much.

When Li Xueli first arrived in the capital, he got a new understanding of his second brother and even met his second brother's good friends.

This kid is also a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. When the old boy invites one, he will accompany him, and after the companionship is over, he invites Shen Guodong to follow him.

Across the two people, he salutes Shazhu again. After the salutation, he listens to Lao Biaozi's greeting and greets another one.

Good guy, Li Xuewu finally noticed something, but he didn't say anything because he was either a brother or a child at the table.

He just looked at the second child and blinked and smiled.

The second child cannot drink. It's not because he doesn't know how to drink, but because he is not in good health.

Taking Li Xuewu's hint at this moment, he took the remaining liquor and sent it to the back room, and then replaced it with the beer bought by Lao Biaozi and served it on the table.

Now it was better, the liquor was gone, and Li Xueli took the initiative to get some beer, saying that he really couldn’t drink liquor and could still have a little beer.

Silly Zhu's face was flushed now, and his whole body smelled of alcohol. The same was true for Lao Biaozi, who was leaning on the table and looking at Li Xuewu, his little brother, with eyes wide open.

The remaining Shen Guodong has a white face, and the more he drinks, the whiter he becomes. Now he can hardly use his face as the French flag.

"Come on, come on, let's get through it again"

Li Xueli took the big jar and distributed it to several people. The way he was loading the dishes made his elder brother Xuewen laugh.

Silly Zhu looked at the beer in the large enamel jar in front of him, then raised his head and looked at Li Xueli, who had a humble face.

"Brother, I see that you are very honest. Tell me the truth."

Silly Zhu pointed to the enamel jar and asked, "How much more can you drink?"

Li Xueli looked at Shazhu and asked, "Beer?"

"right"

Now Lao Biaozi stopped stretching, nodded and asked, "How much more can you drink?"

Li Xueli thought about it very seriously and raised a finger.

"That's alright!"

Lao Biaozi smiled and patted the table, showing a victorious smile to Silly Zhu.

"Let's accompany one!"

"Yes, brother came from afar!"

"right!"

Silly Zhu also showed a smile that wanted to see the light of day. He raised the enamel jar and said, "If you had said earlier that you could only drink from one jar, we would have drank white wine with you."

"No no no~"

Li Xueli's face was also red, but he spoke very clearly without any hesitation.

"You're asking about beer. I'm really not sure about this, because it's not intoxicating at all and I can drink it all the time."

"Wocao!"

…

At the end of the drinking party, if nothing else happened... there was an accident.

Silly Zhu was sent back by Li Xuewen, and Lao Biaozi was sent back by Li Xuecai.

Only Shen Guodong, who surrendered first, followed Erhai'er and walked back by himself.

This drinking game for young people illustrates a truth. When Northeast Bank says it can’t be drunk, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it really can’t be drunk.

In other words, the standards he said are different from your standards.

When drinking tea after the meal, I looked at Li Xueli's red face, but he helped bring tea and pour water without shaking the cup in his hand.

The second uncle also smiled and explained: "On this point, it's up to me."

What this means is that the second uncle has many advantages, but Li Xueli only learned a little.

When it comes to Versailles, Li Xuewu has to learn a few more tricks from his second uncle, and he simply praises himself.

Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu wanted to help clear the table, but they were stopped by their second aunt.

Zhao Yafang was also joking and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoning still has three days, but Yuxiu can wait a few more days."

"Hahaha~"

Women's laughter is naturally very hearty at family gatherings, and it is also a rare home.

After just a few cups of tea after the meal, Liu Yin asked Li Xuewu and Li Xuecai to send Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu back.

The atmosphere at this time is after all conservative in the hearts of ordinary people, and it is never too late for a girl to go home.

In later generations, are there really girls who dance until after two o'clock at night?

The next day is the last day of April.

Li Xuewu opened his eyes early. It was not that he was thinking about getting married, but that Li Xuecai and Li Xueli were both married.

Because the backyard was given to his second uncle's family, Li Xuewu came to the east courtyard.

Li Xueli was someone who loved to join in the fun, especially since he didn't talk much to his second brother all afternoon, so he invited him to live with him in the east courtyard at night.

I also chatted with Li Xuewu for a long time last night. Li Xuewu didn't know what time the conversation lasted, and he fell asleep in a daze.

This little guy has a really good capacity for drinking. If he could curb his clinginess, he would definitely be a good young man.

Li Xuewu rubbed his face, changed into the clothes that Yu Li had prepared a long time ago, and after washing, he went to the back room to have breakfast.

Li Xueli followed behind and asked the third brother what Sister Yu did who gave the second brother clothes last night, and why she didn't care what the second brother wore.

Li Xuecai has long been fed up with the nonsense of little brother Jicheng, especially this question. Is this allowed to be asked?

The two of them were muttering behind each other, but Li Xuewu didn't pay attention. When he entered the reverse room, he saw the Kang table in the west room, and his second uncle, father and others were there.

"Is there someone in Xiao Ning's family today?"

Liu Yin saw her son coming in and asked, "Do you have to go?"

According to old etiquette, the man entertains, that is, the day before the wedding, the woman entertains relatives and friends.

Correspondingly, some gifts or gifts will also be accepted, and on the wedding day, the woman's immediate relatives will follow her to see her off.

Of course, this custom varies from place to place, and the emphasis is also different. If we talk about it in ancient times, the mother's family would not send the bride off.

Not only did they not send off the bride, but they also brought a maid as a dowry. Can this be said?

Li Xuewu asked his father-in-law if he had any maids to marry him?

Then does his father-in-law have to ask you which one you want?

There are Type 59-1 130mm cannons, Type 59 100mm anti-aircraft guns, and Type 81 122mm 40-barreled rocket launchers...

These are all good, and it doesn’t hurt at all.

"I'll see Xiao Ning off in the morning and meet her father and two brothers-in-law."

Li Xuewu talked about the arrangements and warned: "The third uncle's family should arrive at that time."

There was a reception at Gu Ning's house, so Li Xuewu had to show up.

Not only did he meet his father-in-law and his brother-in-law and brother-in-law whom he had never met before, but he also had to meet the matchmaker he had found.

Today Yu Huaiyou and Zhang Shuting will come to Gu's house to sit and sit, and then they will also come to Li Xuewu's wedding tomorrow.

Li Xuewu estimated that there wouldn't be too many people here in the Gu family. After all, it was this time, and even if it was a children's wedding, it would be inconvenient for so many people to gather.

In fact, his guess was quite accurate. Li Xuewu deliberately arranged to work at the Public Security Brigade in the morning, and picked up Gu Ning at around nine or almost ten o'clock in the morning.

Everyone in the security brigade knew that he was getting married in the past two days, so they all greeted him with a smile, but they left all the work to Shen Fang and Wang Xiaoqin.

By the time Li Xuewu picked up Gu Ning and rushed to Gu's house, it was already past ten o'clock.

As soon as the command vehicle entered the courtyard, Li Xuewu saw several vehicles parked in the courtyard.

Even without looking at the car plate, Li Xuewu could guess the identities of these people.

When he and Gu Ning got out of the car, mother-in-law Ding Fengxia and Mu Hongyan came out to greet them.

Mother-in-law naturally smiles when she sees her son-in-law, especially today.

Mu Hongyan also glanced at Li Xuewu, responded to Li Xuewu's greeting, and took Gu Ning's hand.

If she had any objections, there was no reason for her to complain about Li Xuewu in this family, because both she and Li Xuewu were from outside the family.

It's just that my previous perception of Li Xuewu was too perfect, and I felt disappointed after hearing what Li Xuewu said.

This is just an ordinary person.

Li Xuewu was just a common man, a common man, and he did common things.

For example, you please your mother-in-law, enter the living room with your mother-in-law, greet your father-in-law, and greet the guests in the living room following the introduction of your mother-in-law.

Li Xuewu went to work today, still dressed in white and black, except that the belt clip on his waist had a bit of copper color, but it made him look energetic.

Standing with Gu Ning, I can't say that she is a golden boy, at least she is right.

Both of them were neither short in height, and both had well-proportioned figures. Everyone in the room saw them with smiles on their faces.

Gu Haitao also arrived home not long ago, and nodded with satisfaction as he watched the two people interacting from time to time.

The guests had actually known about Li Xuewu's situation for a long time, especially since Yu Huaiyou and Zhang Shuting were there, and they had learned about the Gu family's son-in-law from a side perspective.

The first ones to know were Ding Fengxia's colleagues, and everyone who knew her well in the hospital also knew about it.

Ding Fengxia praised her son-in-law a lot and could not tolerate others saying anything bad about her.

When Li Xuewu offered the cigarette to Yu Huaiyou, he thanked him sincerely, but it made Yu Huaiyou laugh. He also told Gu Haitao about the time when Li Xuewu forced him to be a matchmaker.

It's a joke now, but at that time, Li Xuewu was also capable.

Naturally, Gu Haitao would not praise his son-in-law openly, but his satisfaction could still be seen.

The Gu family did not arrange a banquet, let alone entertainment. Guests came and went without interruption.

At Gu Haitao's level, the people he interacts with are also busy. If he comes to his house to sit for a while during the workday, the person he sees is not Li Xuewu, but Gu Haitao, who has not returned to Beijing for a long time.

At this point in time, when it comes to children, some people believe it, while others don't.

Gu Haitao represents more than just himself, and others don't just see him as an independent individual.

This is the influence of identity, which can also be called a halo. It is invisible and invisible, but it is real.

The fruits brought by Li Xuewu and Gu Ning were of great use. They couldn't entertain banquets, so the tropical fruits made up for the regret.

These fruits are rare here in the capital. Even Gu Haitao, who works in Yangcheng, has not seen many of them.

Although the economic activities there are relatively active, communication on property is still hindered due to special reasons.

It was already past ten o'clock when we arrived. After sitting and chatting for a while, plus receiving several groups of guests, it was time for dinner.

Ding Fengxia kept Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu also followed his mother-in-law's words and said bluntly that he was here just to have a meal today.

Few people came here at noon, and Yu Huaiyou and Zhang Shuting left early.

Taking advantage of the fact that only his family members were left in the living room, Li Xuewu also took the initiative to report his recent situation to his father-in-law.

Gu Haitao listened carefully and did not interrupt Li Xuewu's words. Gradually, only Weng and his son-in-law were left talking in the living room.

Ding Fengxia went to arrange lunch, while Mu Hongyan took Gu Ning to the study room to make room for the two of them in the living room.

To be honest, Gu Haitao never expected that Li Xuewu could grow up so fast.

When he arranged for Dong Wenxu to bring Li Xuewu to his home for a blind date, he didn't think about finding a son-in-law with a high position.

If he really wanted to find it, he could really help his daughter pick it up.

He has a full understanding of Li Xuewu's family conditions, including Li Xuewu's social environment.

But even ordinary relationships can be woven into a big web by Li Xuewu.

At first, Dong Wenxue might have been a big tree that Li Xuewu found for himself, but now it seems that he is already a big tree himself.

It is still a big tree in a forest, and its ability to withstand storms is much stronger than I imagined.

Being in Yangcheng, he was more worried about his son-in-law. Since both sons were in the army, it was naturally convenient.

But Li Xuewu never came to him, let alone asked him to do anything.

Li Xuewu's caution and caution can be seen in several conversations, but from Dong Wenxu and his lover's feedback, we can see his surprise at this son-in-law.

As a section chief before, he didn't want to rely on himself no matter what, but now Li Xuewu is even less likely to rely on himself.

Although Gu Haitao also said that sons are not special to him, but daughters and sons-in-law can be.

But what could satisfy him more than his son-in-law's independence?

No wonder my lover always said good things about his son-in-law on the phone. In fact, it was not entirely because of the son-in-law's deliberate efforts to please him, but also because of this person.

When Li Xuewu reported his situation to Gu Haitao, he had unique thinking, clear organization, keen eyesight, and unique insights.

Especially when it came to the difficulties he faced in the current situation and the ways to deal with them, Gu Haitao thought for a long time.

He was in Yangcheng, so how could he not feel the wind of the capital city? The wind of the capital city also started blowing from Yangcheng.

Listening to what my son-in-law said, if I hadn't known about his family background, I would have thought that there was some great monster behind him.

These mature and unique insights are completely beyond the imagination of a twenty-year-old young man.

But the facts were right in front of him, and the son-in-law's words were vaguely meant to persuade him, which could be regarded as a reminder.

Gu Haitao frowned slightly and thought for a long time. He looked at Li Xuewu who was drinking tea and asked, "I heard that you also set up a sports club?"

"Did Minister Huaiyou say that?"

Li Xuewu smiled and explained: "We are classmates in the training class after the new year. During the training, everyone discovered their own shortcomings and serious lack of mobility, and this is how we formed a like-minded club."

Gu Haitao nodded slightly. His son-in-law was not surprised when he responded to his sudden change of topic. This determination is worthy of recognition.

"It was Comrade Tokuyama who called me."

Gu Haitao explained, and then said: "You have a complete plan, you are fully prepared, and you know how to avoid the important and take the easy, so I won't say anything."

At this point, Gu Haitao paused and continued: "However, assessing the situation cannot always avoid risks. Some waves have to be overcome before they can be overcome. You must be prepared to ride the wind and waves."

"yes"

Li Xuewu nodded in agreement, regardless of whether he had such a plan or not, the point of view raised by his father-in-law was just out of concern for him.

While the two were talking, the courtyard became lively again.

Ding Fengxia went directly to the yard from the kitchen door. Mu Hongyan and Gu Ning, who came out of the study, glanced at the yard and explained to the two people in the living room: "It's Xiao Yan who is back."

Li Xuewu wanted to stand up, but his father-in-law held his hand down and patted him, indicating that he should sit down.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, Gu Ning walked to Li Xuewu's sofa and stopped.

Looking at Gu Ning's movements, the three people in the room had different expressions.

Mu Hongyan was a little surprised, but also a little relieved.

Gu Haitao's eyes were full of relief, but also a little regretful. His daughter knew how to care about others, but it was a pity that it was not him.

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning's hidden intention of protecting him, and felt moved and wanted to laugh in his heart.

When did he need someone to protect him, but this feeling of being cared for still made him couldn't help but look at Gu Ning and laugh.

Gu Ning lowered her head and saw Li Xuewu smiling at her, especially in front of her father, and turned her head away in embarrassment.

But when he turned his head, what he saw was his father's slightly melancholy eyes.

I can’t let myself stand here~

Fortunately, this was only for a short period of time. The excitement behind Gu Yan entering the house relieved Gu Ning's embarrassment.

"Sister, this is my brother-in-law, right?"

Gu Yan is tall and strong, but the greenness on his face betrays the fact that he is still a student.

Dressed in green, he was very energetic, and the greeting he received after entering the house also gave Li Xuewu a good impression.

As soon as Gu Ning got out of the embarrassment, his brother slapped him in the corner.

After glaring at his brother, before she could reply, Li Xuewu stood up and reached out his hand.

"Hello, I am your brother-in-law"

"Hey, luckily, you have a different personality from my sister."

Gu Yan had a lively personality. He shook hands with Li Xuewu with a smile and teased Gu Ning at the same time.

"Go, don't make trouble with your brother-in-law"

Ding Fengxia smiled and took her son's satchel and gave it a gentle slap.

Gu Yan smiled and explained: "If you are really like my sister, I'm afraid it won't be boring..."

Before he could finish his words, he received another slap from his mother, knocking back the rest of his words.

Seeing his father's slightly serious eyes again, he didn't dare to joke anymore.

After he took off his hat, sat on the sofa, looked at Li Xuewu carefully, and then said with a smile: "Hey, Zuo Jie told me about you last time, but I was short of time to go back to school, so I didn't see you." .

“It’s quite a pity”

Li Xuewu's gentle smile was very contagious, and his powerful tone made his brother-in-law dare not look down upon him.

I have long heard that this brother-in-law is very powerful. He is about the same age as me, but he is already a great figure in Dongcheng.

He naturally didn't believe Zuo Jie's boast at the time. Looking at his now gentle brother-in-law, he didn't look like he would grab someone's head and smash it on the cover of the car, let alone hit someone's hand with a hammer.

For a senior cadre, his depth and magnanimity are enough.

It's just because I have my sister sitting next to me at home that I feel more friendly.

Li Xuewu had his own way of dealing with young people. It was hard to convince his brother-in-law, but there was no problem in getting along harmoniously with him.

Because there were more people in the living room, Li Xuewu and his father-in-law naturally did not continue the previous topic, but Gu Yan talked a lot.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you now have two deputy director positions..."

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you were in the south with..."

"Brother-in-law, why did you fall in love with my sister..."

Gu Ning only felt that his brother was good at everything, but he just had an extra mouth.

In the past, when he was at home, he would not be around his father. He would either go out to meet classmates or make appointments with people in the courtyard to hang out, and would not come back until dark.

He could not speak even in front of his father, but today he came to the house with the help of Li Xuewu, which severely affected his sense of presence.

Li Xuewu was also very fond of this brother-in-law, and he could compete with Li Xueli.

The words that my brother-in-law asked were certainly not childish. In fact, he was as clever as his age.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the inquiry in his words. As long as you are a human being, you will be curious and competitive, let alone this kind of relationship.

Maybe it was because of his mother-in-law's praise or what other people said that made Gu Yan more curious about him.

Li Xuewu answered each of his questions easily and humorously.

Just when Gu Ning was getting tired, the kitchen prompted that the food was ready.

Although there is no banquet to entertain the guests who are here today, we cannot entertain our son-in-law without good food and wine.

What's more, my youngest son is back today, and there are six dishes on the table, and the wine is also good.

Li Xuewu sat next to his father-in-law, and Gu Yan sat next to Li Xuewu, taking the wine bottle and starting to pour wine.

Ding Fengxia was afraid that Li Xuewu would have to work in the afternoon and delay things, so she wanted to persuade him, but Li Xuewu smiled and took the initiative to accept the wine from her brother-in-law.

"This is the first time Xiaoyan and I meet. We should have a drink, not to mention that dad is coming back today."

Li Xuewu took the wine bottle from Gu Yan's hand and filled a glass of wine for his father-in-law.

It was nothing to pour wine, but Li Xuewu's "Daddy" made Gu Haitao a little moved.

Li Xuewu used to call him uncle. Even though he and his lover had already called him mom, they still called him uncle.

This title is not only the difference between uncle and dad, but also a sense of distance.

Li Xuewu respected and admired him very much, but this respect and admiration kept the relationship between the two at a long distance.

Today Li Xuewu was able to take the initiative to report his situation to him, and changed his title when pouring him wine.

This means that the relationship between Li Xuewu and him has become closer. Only when the relationship is close can it be easier to say something and do something easier.

Ding Fengxia also heard Li Xuewu's name, looked at her lover with a smile, and used chopsticks to serve Li Xuewu and her son.

Li Xuewu poured wine for his father-in-law and wanted to help his brother-in-law, but Gu Yan snatched him away, saying that he did not dare to let his brother-in-law pour the wine.

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Ning fearfully, which set off the atmosphere on the table very well.

In this kind of family, there is little joking at the dinner table, let alone the dinner table, in this house, which is more serious than lively.

This is why Gu Yan doesn't want to stay at home during the holidays.

Today is different. Although there are no foreign guests, today is the first day of Li Xuewu and Gu Ning's wedding.

This celebration deserves to be more lively, and Gu Yan's liveliness is just right. At least in Li Xuewu's opinion, this brother-in-law is not a reckless person.

If you don't have enough scheming, you can still do these little things in the courtyard?

Zuo Jie told Li Xuewu a lot about his brother-in-law. It was hard to say how bad it was, but he didn't believe the admiration shown in the conversation just now.

Li Xuewu had no intention of overestimating his own abilities, let alone being sentimental.

What happened to my brother-in-law?

You have to clean up when you need to, just stay away from your father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After lunch, Li Xuewu didn't stay long, and even though Gu Yan was busy, he didn't drink too much wine.

No matter how much fun he has, one look from his father-in-law can kill him.

Sha Qizhi and Han Jiankun also had lunch here, but they didn't come here. They ate with the guards and chefs in the courtyard.

In the past, I only knew that the director's father-in-law was capable, but this time I realized it deeply.

Just when they were waiting for the director in the duty room, the cars and people they saw in the courtyard were enough to scare the two of them.

Not to mention actually meeting the director's father-in-law, the two of them immediately recognized who it was.

In the car returning to the steel rolling mill, Sha Qizhi looked at Han Jiankun, and then looked at the director in the back seat with the corner of his eyes. He didn't dare to speak for a while.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the looks between the two, and sat in the back seat, thinking about the past two days.

When the car arrived in front of the guard building, Li Xuewu said before getting out: "Jiankun, get ready, come downstairs and wait for us at 3:30 in the afternoon."

"Good director"

Before Han Jiankun could finish answering, Li Xuewu jumped out of the car and walked towards the office building.

The cadres and officers from the Security Department that I met on the first floor all expressed congratulations in advance when they saw Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu responded with a smile.

When he arrived at the office, Yu Decai followed him in.

"Director, Director Xu called me this morning."

"Well, what did you say?"

Li Xuewu sat on the chair, dropped a cigarette and lit it, then threw the cigarette case in the direction of Yu Decai.

Yu Decai didn't touch the cigarette case, just waved his hand, and continued to report: "It seems that the leaders went out to visit the brothers' units yesterday. He didn't tell me. I found out about it."

"Not smooth?"

Li Xuewu raised his brows, took a sip from the teacup handed over by Sha Qizhi, and said: "If that's really the case, I don't want to take this job, there is no name or distinction."

"The main reason is that the leaders want a lot."

Yu Decai reported in a low voice: "From what I heard, the factory director wanted to use this exchange as a breakthrough to break the deadlock in the establishment of a joint enterprise."

As he spoke, he put his hand on the phone and continued: "It's just that the deadlock has not been resolved. Now there is a new problem. The textile factory rejected the cooperation proposed by Deputy Director Jing, saying that she has no integrity."

"Fuck, integrity costs a few cents per pound!"
