Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Yo~!"

I don’t know where I learned it, but Li Shu was held in Grandpa’s arms, and she put her arms around Grandpa’s neck and said this.

Li Shun also smiled and followed suit, saying: "Hey~ Are you happy to see grandpa?!"

Li Xuewu also smiled when he saw his father's appearance. Watching Gu Ning come down from upstairs, he said, "Dad is here. We met him on the mountain and came back together."

"dad"

Gu Ning also took the initiative to say hello to Li Shun, and at the same time handed the bag in her hand to Li Xuewu who came to pick her up.

"Hey, you just got off work?"

Li Shun's attitude towards his granddaughter and his daughter-in-law is completely different from his attitude towards his son.

Li Xuewu is now married, and Gu Ning is not often at Li's house when they are dating.

Therefore, Li Shun never betrays others when training his son at home.

But it can't be done now. Li Xuewu is married. Even if Li Shun wants to teach Li Xuewu, it's too late. He has to find the time and the tone before he can teach.

The third child is different because Ji Yuxiu often comes to eat at home and sometimes even lives here, so Li Shun cannot train Li Xuecai casually even at home.

Every time, Li Xuecai was called to the west courtyard, where he would block the area where people were being carried away, and either scold him or give him some physical blows.

You cannot discipline or beat your son in front of your daughter-in-law. This is a rule taught by the old lady.

Not to mention training at the dinner table. Li Shun had made this mistake many times in the past. Later, with Zhao Yafang, he restrained himself a lot.

Now that the second son is married and living separately, and the third son's marriage has basically been decided, Li Shun's temper has also changed.

The sharpness and scolding have been restrained, and what remains is only the hope for his son and the care for his grandchildren.

Li Shu was Li Shun's favorite, and she was also the one who was good at coaxing people. She put her arms around Grandpa's neck and gave him a mua~ on his face, and then started babbling non-stop, which was very approachable.

The smile on Li Shun's face didn't stop when he walked in the door. Even when he saw the goldfish pond his son made, he didn't even bother to say anything about him.

If my son gets something for himself to play with, he is definitely not doing his job properly and has nowhere to spend the money.

But now he saw that his granddaughter liked it. She pointed her little finger at the goldfish in the goldfish pond and kept talking to him.

Sometimes when you feel tired, you take a long breath and then continue talking.

Seeing this little look made Li Shun feel as comfortable as eating iced watermelon on a hot day.

This way he no longer feels that his son is wasting money, as long as his granddaughter likes it.

Not to mention the goldfish pond, Li Shu had never dropped any of the bottles and jars at home, and it wouldn't hurt if they were broken.

Even if Li Shun dared to show an unhappy or distressed expression, Li Shu would dare to cry to her grandfather.

Then it won't be a matter of just one medicine bottle. Li Shun would have to take two out and let his granddaughter play with them by throwing them. He would also have to praise them for how well they dropped them and how they made a loud sound.

Li Shu had her grandfather under control, and kept telling her grandfather how good her goldfish was, regardless of her father's urging.

Li Xuewu saw that his daughter and father ignored him, so he had to carry his bag and go to the car.

Qin Jingru, who had opened the door, walked to the car and said to Li Xuewu: "I won't go back this week. There's nothing wrong. It's not convenient to go back."

"Sure, it's up to you"

Li Xuewu nodded and agreed. Looking at her happy expression, he chuckled and said, "I feel relaxed at home?"

"No~"

Qin Jingru also felt that she was happy a little too early, and she had to wait until Li Xuewu left before she could be happy again.

Li Xuewu didn't say that she should take a good rest after a hard week, cleaning housework, washing clothes and cooking.

"Remember to prepare lunch for tomorrow"

Li Xuewu warned: "There may be eight or nine guests coming, please work harder."

As he spoke, Li Xuewu took out his wallet from his pocket and prepared to give her money and tickets to buy food.

But looking at her eyes that wanted to dodge, he put a few more pictures in her hand.

"Anything left over from buying groceries is considered your bonus."

"And there's a bonus!?"

Qin Jingru was also surprised when she saw the extra two dollars in her hand. She was planning to go shopping when she went to the market tomorrow.

Li Xuewu didn't say anything else to her. He knew how to make the horse run.

After putting away Gu Ning's bag, she walked back to the foyer to persuade her father and Li Shu that it was time to set off.

Li Shu originally wanted to continue talking, but when Li Xuewu said that his mother was still waiting at home, his father hugged Li Shu and ran away first.

As he walked away, Li Shun coaxed his granddaughter and said, "Grandma has prepared the meal and is waiting for Li Shu to come home for dinner."

Li Xuewu couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw that his father was able to coax his children.

But the old lady was not surprised, because when Li Xuewu and the others were young, Li Shun also coaxed his children in this way.

It's just that after the child got a little older, he no longer coaxed him. As a father, he must show his love in another way.

He took the old lady and Gu Ning out and arranged for them to sit in the back. Gu Ning hugged Li Shu while his father sat in the passenger seat.

When the car drove out of the villa compound, Qin Jingru pursed her lips, carefully closed the door step by step, and hung up the latch...

Then I slowly turned around and looked at the big villa. I really wanted to cover my face and shout loudly in surprise: "I'm the only one!"

——

"Is it okay to leave that girl at home alone?"

Li Shun was a little scared when he was sitting in the passenger seat. He grabbed the armrest on the door frame with his hands, but he was worried about the shipping warehouse.

Maybe it was just to distract myself from thinking about the doorless car speeding down the road.

Li Xuewu also noticed his father's nervousness, slowed down the car slightly, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I drive very steadily, nothing will happen."

Li Shun glanced at his son, but expressed doubts about his son's comfort.

But when he thought of home, he reminded him again: "Did you put too much on your car?"

Li Shun frowned slightly and said, "This one, I have another one at home, and a truck, so you have to be more careful."

Li Xuewu scratched his face. Why did he feel that there was something in his father's words?

But then I thought about it, and realized that what my father meant was not what I thought. He should be talking about the impact of having too many cars.

"I know, I'll tell Biaozi later and be careful."

Li Xuewu nodded and agreed, then glanced at his father and said, "It's okay at the shipping warehouse. She's not a child. I feel more at ease with her here."

To be honest, the safety of the shipping warehouse depends entirely on the tacit understanding between neighbors and the environment away from the compound.

Alley gangsters like Li Xuewu and others are bound to cause you trouble if they get too close.

The shipping warehouse was a warehouse a long time ago and was built away from the residential area. When the villa was built, it also had a quiet and elegant environment.

The people who live now are all well-known people, and there are no naughty people making trouble around.

So although the relationship between the neighbors living there is very shallow, or even non-existent.

But this way of getting along without disturbing each other also made Gu Ning feel comfortable.

Even if the neighbors meet each other, the most they can do is smile and nod to show that they know each other.

Li Xuewu still has some precious things in the shipping warehouse. It is better to have someone at home than to have no one at home all night.

Even if you can't let people touch your own behavior patterns and habits, it's also a flaw.

Li Xuewu also thought about it. After a while, it would be impossible to raise a dog in the courtyard.

Or arrange for someone to be there when he is away to prevent any chaos.

As for the car problem that my father was worried about, he had thought about it.

One is that the surrounding neighbors are used to it, and it is not a sudden increase, so there is nothing to say.

The second one is that the condition of the two cars is not very good. They look shabby on the outside, and they look like they will fall apart and lose parts when they are followed.

Three and one means management. The business of recycling bins is not only about management, but also about personal relationships and neighborhood reputation.

The recycling station does a very good job at this point, especially Ye Erye, who guides and teaches them what to say to anyone they meet.

Including Yu Li and others, the children who collect scraps are also learning to speak and do business.

The cars in the courtyard alone have saved so many lives, no one here in the courtyard can tell.

As for the outside, since last winter, Li Xuewu has asked Lao Biaozi and his boys to help sweep snow on the streets and help lonely elderly people clean up their yards.

Until now, Lao Biaozi is still insisting on doing these things because he has tasted the sweetness of it.

It's nothing more than taking people to clean up the garbage, tidy up, and sometimes rebuild the collapsed walls.

The most likely thing is to give furniture to moving furniture. Whether it is collecting or delivering, these people who move the house try their best not to ask anyone to help them.

Another one, they collect rags and have the most dealings with old men and old ladies from various households.

Sweet-talking, capable, poorly dressed, miserable, smiling, and shameless.

As long as you remember these key points, the old men and women who have the most say in this alley have nothing bad to say about them.

Who hasn’t grown old enough to praise these good kids?

Whenever someone says that the people at the recycling bin are bad, these lonely old people on crutches won’t let them go.

The reputation has improved, the street has praised it many times, and the recycling station has gained popularity. Not only does business become easier, but the key is that the recycling station has a mass base.

Only when buying and selling becomes the default and habit of the masses will it be the most stable and safest.

Let's just say that there are only a few people who take the initiative to introduce partners to Lao Biaozi, and they are all enthusiastic old ladies and aunts.

Of course, given Lao Biaozi’s own conditions and the conditions of the recycling bin that the neighbors thought, the introduction was not very good.

Lao Biaozi was also in pain and happiness. While he was busy dealing with the kindness of his neighbors, he was struggling to deal with the relationship between Zhongxi and Zhongcai.

When Li Xuewu and the others arrived at the courtyard, Lao Biaozi hadn't come back yet, and it was already midnight.

A lot of vegetables came down from the mountain, and there were also some scattered meat and skins. These things were difficult to deal with on the mountain, but Lao Biaozi took them all as ordered.

"Did you follow him to learn martial arts?"

When everyone arrived at the hospital, they happened to catch up with grandpa standing in the courtyard. Shen Guodong and the others had already finished unloading the car and were weighing it for storage.

“Caught up”

Li Shun agreed with his father-in-law and took Li Shu over with a smile.

The eldest grandma smiled and watched everyone get out of the car, then took the cigarette from Li Xuewu, waved her hand and refused to let Li Xuewu light the cigarette, and said: "I won't smoke anymore, it's time to eat."

Seeing that Li Shu had returned to her familiar home, she pointed to the courtyard with her little finger and signaled her grandfather to go back.

Li Shun told his eldest grandma that he would go home for dinner in the evening and then carried Li Shu home first.

The old lady and Gu Ning also chatted for a while and then returned to the courtyard.

Here they were busy putting things into storage. Shen Guodong just waved to Li Xuewu and went off.

I haven't been back for a week, but the courtyard is still so orderly. It's all the foundation and habits laid by Wen San'er and others.

No matter how late you come back, first pack and weigh the collected waste, then count it and put it in storage.

After everything is finished, they can go back to wash their faces and eat, and meals must be prepared no matter how late they work.

Although the recycling bin is small, everyone helps each other and performs their duties. They are busy with these things every day and never feel bored.

The meal in the morning was a bit hasty, and the meal at noon was just a filling meal. Only the meal in the evening was taken seriously by both the cook and the eater.

Li Xuewu stood in the west courtyard and could already smell the aroma of food coming from the back room.

Following the grandma's chatting and laughing, she went to the sales department. The second master and the others were also packing up and getting ready to close the door and put the shop on the shelves.

"Hey! Xuewu is back."

The second master stood on the counter at the door, folding his account. When he saw Li Xuewu enter the door first, he smiled and said hello.

In front of outsiders, the second master would not call Li Xuewu his boss, knowing that Li Xuewu was unwilling to reveal his identity.

"Hey, thank you for your hard work"

Li Xuewu replied, smiled and offered a cigarette.

Ye Erye took it, but he had no intention of ordering anything and stuck it directly on his ear.

"This Xuewu doesn't live here after getting married. He always has weird thoughts."

"Second Master, you are really good at chatting."

Xiao Yan'er saw off the guests, turned around and said hello to Li Xuewu, and teased Mr. Ye who was also at the counter.

Second Master Ye laughed, but kept fiddling with the abacus in his hand.

When the last customer left, it was time to put on the plate. Without Li Xuewu reaching out, all the boys in the backyard who had finished weighing first came over to help.

The door panels and the panels sealing the windows are so thick that it would take a lot of effort for women like Yu Li to do it alone.

These boards were made by my grandfather, which are equivalent to the rolling shutter doors and windows of later generations, and have equivalent protection capabilities.

As the door panel was blocked, the outside of the window gradually became dark, and the lights in the room became brighter.

The second-hand shop next door was the last one for Yu Li today. When Li Xuewu came in just now, he opened the door curtain and took a look. Now he packed up the accounts and walked over.

Li Xuewu was looking at the goods on the wall and some replaceable goods on the shelves.

"Biaozi didn't come back with you?"

"No, he still has to load the goods and come back."

Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at Yu Li who was talking to him, and said with a smile: "I can't bear to give up gasoline. I said vegetables are selling very well now."

"You lose sight of virtue in the eyes of money."

Yu Li also answered with a smile, and then went to the counter to help Xiaoyan clean up the stall.

Grandpa stood in the room with his hands behind his back, following Li Xuewu's gaze as he looked at these used and repaired second-hand goods.

Li Xuewu gestured to the large gap outside the counter and said to his grandfather: "You can build a shelf later. Place it in the middle of the room. It won't hinder people passing by, and it can increase the placement of goods." .

"become"

Grandpa simply nodded and agreed. This was all craft work and not a big deal.

Li Xuewu, however, would cause trouble for his grandfather. He took a pen and paper from the counter and drew a square island shelf with multiple layers on all sides. He also pointed to the direction of the cement counter and drew the shelves placed against the outside of the counter. son.

These were all painted, and bookshelves were made for the little figures stacked together.

Grandpa stood aside and watched Li Xuewu's painting. After Li Xuewu finished painting, he listened carefully as he explained, just like when Li Xuewu asked his grandpa to make a wooden gun for him when he was a child, his grandson always had some novel ideas.

The second master collected the accounts, walked over, listened for a while, and then said to Li Xuewu with a smile: "You can really find work for your grandpa. I think this counter is good, but it takes a lot of effort."

Li Xuewu looked at his grandma with some embarrassment, pointed to the drawing and said, "I'm just giving you an idea, it's convenient for you."

The eldest grandma waved her hand, her eyes still on the drawing, but her tone was as calm and friendly as ever.

"It's okay. There's a chainsaw, so why bother?"

This is just like it was when he was a child. No matter what Li Xuewu asked for, he would be satisfied by his eldest grandma.

Even though his mother told him not to spoil Li Xuewu, his eldest grandma still waved her hand and said it was okay.

When the second master saw his grandpa acting like this, he didn't say anything else. He just talked to Li Xuewu about the situation in the store this week.

"Some people did come to ask about the things you asked to collect, but none of them were sold."

The second master smiled bitterly and brought up a jar from under the counter, motioning for Li Xuewu to take a look.

Li Xuewu also took a closer look, and it looked familiar. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is this Yuan Qinghua?"

"Well, this blue and white flower is indeed round."

Second Master Ye also saw the smile on Li Xuewu's face and knew that he had guessed it. He smiled bitterly and said: "It took a lot of effort to accept this piece of crap."

Li Xuewu flicked the porcelain with his fingers and asked, "When do you think this thing was made?"

"Haha, you are younger than me~"

Mr. Ye was quite funny. He glanced at the porcelain on the counter with disdain and said, "This thing used to be called ghost punching. Even if a ghost comes, it might hit you. But this one is so poorly made. Don't worry." Damn it, you won’t even look at a dog when it comes.”

"Hehehe, how much did it cost?"

Li Xuewu also looked at this piece of porcelain carefully, as carefully as he looked at a treasure.

Looking at this stuff mainly depends on the accumulation of eyesight and knowledge. There is no truth or falsehood, only appropriateness and inappropriateness.

If you say it is fake, then it is just a jar, made of real porcelain and can hold water without leaking, so why would you call it fake?

"one cent"

Ye Erye twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "The price you set is one yuan for high quality, fifty cents for medium quality, three cents for low quality, and one cent for rags!"

"Hey, are you selling it at this price?"

Li Xuewu was also a little embarrassed. Although the top grade items cost one yuan, the standard he set for the second master was the kind used by the royal family, or the peerless treasures.

It seems that these rags are too expensive for him to charge even a dime, and they won't be able to be piled up in the warehouse in the future.

Fortunately, he has also decided a place for these junks. Dongfeng No. 1 can be used as a display, and the fakes look good.

As for the Taichi ones, they were smashed at the door and used as advertisements.

Second Master Ye raised his eyebrows, flicked the jar with his fingers, and said softly: "This is called throwing stones to ask for directions."

"I really want to suck him out of the cauldron!"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes, stopped looking at the jar, and said to Mr. Ye: "The documents were issued today."

"this"

Li Xuewu pointed at the jar and said: "If you still have the capital to play with this, or collect this, it may be considered a bad thing."

"Really!"

Second Master Ye was startled, stared, and asked: "This... the antiques of the prosperous times, the gold of the troubled times, collecting antiques and artifacts are all wrong?"

"Haha, it's right to collect them, but it's the people who have the ability to collect them who are wrong."

Li Xuewu chuckled lightly, without explaining in detail. He touched the jar with his finger and said: "The poor are not afraid of breaking and then standing up, because the poor have nothing, and the rich cannot."

After speaking, he tapped the counter and warned: "Tell the boys, don't be afraid of getting scolded when you collect the scraps. Just tell them the slogan and be sure to keep the price down."

"Understood"

Mr. Ye also had a serious expression and said in a low voice: "Some people have started to accept it this week, but the price is very high. I guess someone saw something."

"Don't worry about him"

Li Xuewu's eyes stood up and he sneered: "Now he is so happy that he makes a list sooner or later and vomits as much as he takes."

Ye Erye seemed to understand what Li Xuewu meant and asked hesitantly: "Then... you still charge this price?"

"Just charge this price!"

Li Xuewu said firmly: "If you collect them blatantly, you must treat them as waste for recycling and reuse. Those things are the garbage of the old society, and you must show disdain in your attitude."

“I understand, I understand.”

Second Master Ye responded, his knees trembling a little as he stood inside the counter.

He also understood something from Li Xuewu's mouth. This thing is about to be banned, but what should be valuable is still valuable.

The boss wants to use his righteousness to play the dealer-take-all game.

Let's stir up this trend first, and let thoughtful traders or collectors take advantage of this trend to grab these things.

Even now those people are snickering and collecting their things, while scolding these fools and they are not afraid.

Then when the storm gets stronger, these people will be wiped out and buried by the big wave.

If you want to survive, you have to vomit out the food you have eaten, and you have to find a good name for vomiting.

Because everyone knows that they have collected this thing, even if it is destroyed, it will not work.

So what else can compare to the innocence of actively selling these things as junk?

Then won’t the recycling station reap both benefits and enjoy the benefits?

It's not like Mr. Ye has not seen the practice of setting up gambling games in advance. Isn't that what playing dice on the card table is all about?

If you are not allowed to enjoy the delicious food, how can you obediently pay for it? When you find out, you will regret it.

My boss is only twenty years old, and he has such calculations and brains. If he were left in the previous dynasty, he might be Hu Xueyan again.

Li Xuewu didn't want to be a businessman who looked up to others. Times had changed, and doing business still had to be a collective enterprise like today.

As they were talking, Shen Guodong, who had finished cleaning up the backyard, also walked in. After greeting him with a smile, he also reported on the business he was responsible for.

Now that waste recycling is relatively stable, it has reached a bottleneck. Six people left the recycling station. Everyone thought they would be in a hurry.

But apart from the initial discomfort, I'm used to it now. There are still so many scraps collected, and I have to get off work at a certain time.

The boys were all assigned tricycles, and their interest was naturally high. They pedaled the tricycles all over the Forty-Nine City, and there was no place they couldn't catch.

The sales department of this recycling station has now become a conference room, and everyone is chattering and reporting on their respective work.

Yu Li also talked about the sales situation of the store next door. The new furniture was also selling well. Those who wanted old furniture took them to the north warehouse in the backyard to have a look.

Lao Biaozi still couldn't let go of the old furniture business, so he put everything he could sell in the north warehouse so that it wouldn't delay his grandma's carpentry work and it could also be used as an exhibition hall.

While they were talking here, Liu Yin came over. Seeing them all standing in the room talking, she smiled and said: "Aren't you even hungry? You won't eat anymore."

After that, he said to Li Xuewu and his eldest grandmother: "I searched all over but couldn't find him. I'm waiting at home."

"Come on, let's eat."

Li Xuewu smiled and waved to several people, and was urged back to the compound by his mother.

It is indeed good to eat here. Silly Zhu was standing at the door blowing the cool breeze. When he saw Li Xuewu and the others coming back, he smiled and greeted: "Hey~ Is the conference over?"

When Shen Guodong saw Sha Zhu teasing them, he slapped Sha Zhu on the back as a joke and made a "pang" sound.

Xiaoyan saw that his joke was not serious or serious, so she said angrily: "Why are you making trouble? You are making trouble with Brother Zhuzhu!"

Silly Zhu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It's okay, girl, it's just a joke."

At this time, Delia also walked out of the kitchen and greeted everyone with a smile when they came back.

Seeing Li Xuewu going home, Shazhu followed him out of the screen door, pulled him two steps toward the gate, and then whispered: "What have you been up to recently? I saw the factory director going to the factory today." The leader asked you to come."

"What did you say about me?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows. The relationship between Yang Fengshan and the big boss was pretty good.

"I don't know, I just heard your name."

Silly Zhu shook his head and said, "But I can't just praise you, right? Are you familiar with the big boss?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Shazhu and said, "I don't know him, I don't have any friendship, and I'm not familiar with you."

"It's still true!"

Silly Zhu tilted his head and said: "Take it easy, I think the big boss is also very taboo about some things recently, and he is very worried."

"Can you still read people's moods?"

Li Xuewu didn't expect Shazhu to tell him this again. He just had a reminder and knew it in his heart. There was no need to put Shazhu in trouble.

Because Sha Zhu also has a very good relationship with the factory director Yang Fengshan, and it was Yang Fengshan who introduced the big leader to Sha Zhu.

Now he often goes to the big leader's house to cook. Sometimes Li Xuewu also wonders if the reason why the cook got him was because Silly Zhu went there too often.

Silly Zhu is a person who does things based on his heart, always looking at relationships and focusing on feelings.

Li Xuewu had no personal enmity with Yang Fengshan, so he couldn't afford to let him get in the way, as if he was so insidious.

Silly Zhu also understood what Li Xuewu meant, and said with a smile: "You really think I'm stupid, don't you? I can't even see whether my brows are furrowed or not."

After speaking, he patted Li Xuewu's arm and said: "Come on, as long as you know it, go home and eat quickly, my aunt is out again."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, then entered the hanging flower door. Sure enough, his mother was waiting for him at the door.

Seeing Li Xuewu come in, he complained: "It's harder to treat you than a god. Why is it so hard to have a meal?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said, "Let me tell you something."

"If you have something to do, let's talk about it after dinner, right?"

Liu Yin scolded her son, and when she entered the room, she urged him to wash his hands and serve the table.

It's true, but it's true that I feel sorry for my son because I'm anxious to ask him to eat.

If Li Xuewu didn't come to the table, she would go find him. If she wasn't there, how could the table be open?

So after Li Xuewu entered the room, everyone looked at him with a smile, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Eat quickly, use your chopsticks, don't wait for me"

As he spoke, he washed his face ruthlessly and took the towel handed over by his mother to wipe it with.

The table setting was still the same as last week. Everyone seemed to have acquiesced in this way of sitting, and it felt like they would sit like this at all weekend gatherings from now on.

As usual, his mother prepared a salted egg for everyone at the table, and Li Xuewu also gave the yolk to Gu Ning just like last week.

This time no one was joking, but both Li Xuewu and Li Xuecai smiled heartily.

Ji Yuxiu prefers the atmosphere of big family dinners. Her home is often deserted. Her parents have been working abroad for a long time. They used to have nannies at home, but later she and her brother stopped hiring them when they grew older.

But even if there is a nanny, how can there be such a family atmosphere, especially with so many people at the table on the kang and the table below.

The elders have the topics that the elders like to talk about, such as the shortcomings of the parents, food, rice, oil and salt. The young people also have the topics that the young people like to talk about, such as mountains, rivers and seas, and gorgeous fireworks.

Ji Yuxiu felt happy and satisfied when she saw the elders sitting at the table talking and laughing. How could the elders not be satisfied when they saw the harmony and happiness at the young table.

Family has a kind of weight in everyone's heart, either as a responsibility or as a comfort.

Everyone has a different way of interpreting this kind of emotion, but they reach the same goal by different paths. As long as we sit at this table and eat, it means family reunion and heart-to-heart connection.

The old lady often said, what is happiness? Happiness is now, with food to eat, wine to drink, relatives, and laughter.

Li Xuewu ate quickly. Although he took care of the whole table, he put down his chopsticks early.

When he got up to pick up Li Shu, who was sitting on the kang eating rice in his father's pocket, his mother asked, "Are you full?"

"I'm full, I'll eat quickly"

Li Xuewu clapped his hands to his daughter and said with a smile: "Come on, daughter, let your grandpa eat and let's take a walk."

Li Shu raised her face and looked at her grandfather. Seeing that he was also looking at her with a smile, she grinned and gave him a heart-warming smile.

"Yao~!"

"Eat this?"

Li Shun didn't pay attention to his son and just stood beside him. He saw his granddaughter holding the chicken wings with her little finger, picking them up and about to feed them.

Liu Yin didn't dare to let him feed the child this. She reached out and patted him, and took a wet towel to wipe the oil on Li Shu's hands and mouth.

"Okay, I've eaten a lot, and my stomach will feel uncomfortable at night."

As Liu Yin spoke, she tapped Li Shu's belly to scare her.

Seeing his eldest granddaughter staring at the chicken wings in the bowl, Li Shun smiled helplessly like a greedy cat.

"Grandpa, there's nothing we can do. If your grandma doesn't tell us to eat, then we can only eat it tomorrow."

"Dad, give it to me"

Li Xuewu stood aside with some embarrassment. He had been ignored by the grandfather and grandson several times today, and he felt helpless. He really wanted his sister-in-law to have more children this time, so that his father would miss them enough.

Liu Yin hugged Li Shu and handed her to Li Xuewu, saying: "Take her out for a walk. She will want to eat when she sees her. She must be a fat girl in the future~"

Li Shu seemed to know that grandma was talking about her. She stared hard at grandma with her big eyes and small mouth pursed.

Li Xuewu smiled and tipped his daughter, carried her out of the back room, took her little hat from the cabinet and put it on before going out.

May in Sijiu City is hot during the day and cool at night. The moonlight is cool and even the night breeze is a bit cool.

The courtyard was quite lively at this time. It was hard to lie down now when we had food.

Besides, it was very hot in the house, so they all sat in the courtyard to cool off.

To enjoy the coolness, it's not like being shirtless and shaking the cattail leaf fan vigorously like in the dog days of summer. It hasn't reached that point yet.

Men wear hurdle vests and big pants made by their own mothers-in-law.

The women wore floral short-sleeves. Some were young and wore skirts and gauze pants. Some were older and didn't care. Like the men, they also wore big pants.

Of course, those who are older must be in their fifties and above, and those who are younger cannot be considered.

If he really wears this when he is in his forties, then his son will not even think about finding a wife.

Maybe it's because humans are born with a lack of safety genes, so even if they want to enjoy the cool night, they still have to find a convenient location.

The verandahs and doorways of these three doors are good places. With your back against your back, no hidden arrows can come, and the left and right sides are bright and windy.

When Li Xuewu came out of his home, what he saw was that people in the front and back yards had moved small benches and were sitting at the third door, chatting.

The children were running around the front and back yards, making noise and giggling.

Li Shu saw the laughter and noise over there, and stared at it with wide eyes, observing.

This child doesn't know how to be born, but he doesn't like to join in the fun and only wants to be close to his family.

The three entrances form one bureau, and the corner verandah of the third uncle’s house also forms one bureau.

Most of the people standing in front of the third uncle’s door are their family members, and they have enough to eat at this time of night, and they are chatting here.

Seeing Li Xuewu come out, Yan Fugui smiled, waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and said hello: "Hey, man, long time no see."

"Haha, your meal is so early."

Li Xuewu nodded to his daughter and replied with a smile. Then he looked at the people in the courtyard and asked with a smile: "Are you holding a meeting?"

Yan Fugui waved his hand, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Don't mention the conference, now the three uncles have discounted more than half."

At this point, he pointed at himself and said with a wry smile: "I am half of it, the first uncle is half of it, and there is not even half of Old Liu left in the backyard."

"Haha, your algorithm is really weird."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "This uncle still has half of the argument."

Yan Fugui didn't smile, but just sighed: "I am half a useless person now. I can't do heavy work, I can't have a temper, but I only have half a life left."

As he spoke, he gestured to the backyard and said: "Master Lao Yi, after all this trouble, hey, I look at my body and my bones are not strong anymore, hey~"

He didn't know whether his sigh was for the first uncle and himself, or for the second uncle who had fallen into disgrace in the backyard.

I think back then, the three of them were the most beautiful people in this courtyard.

The one, two or three elders have the final say in everything, and you have to beg them to make decisions on big and small matters in this courtyard.

There may not be many problems that cannot be solved by the whole hospital meeting without going out.

But they didn't know which evil they hit. These three fell down one after another, almost destroying the entire army.

As a result, no one in the courtyard now comes to them to talk to them, let alone the whole courtyard meeting.

"Move more, don't sit still"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If you can't sleep in the morning, just go out and walk around like my dad. The bones in your body are cultivated, and the sun alone won't do it."

"Hey! You don't know this yet"

When he mentioned this, Yan Fugui became more energetic, waved his hands and said, "Baking in the sun really works."

As he spoke, he beat his body with his hands and said, "I used to stand on the podium all the time, and my waist and legs were not very good. But now that I have been exposed to the spring sun, I won't have this problem anymore when I go to school."

"Haha, it's calcium"

Li Xuewu smiled and took his daughter's hand that was grabbing his face, and explained: "Baking in the sun helps absorb calcium and promotes bone growth and development."

"Can you grow longer if you are exposed to the sun?"

After hearing what Li Xuewu said, Yan Fugui asked doubtfully.

Li Xuewu said funnyly: "Hey, maybe you have to take it easy. If you really grow ten centimeters longer after being exposed to the sun, you should feel sorry for your clothes."

After teasing the third uncle, Li Xuewu followed his impatient daughter and walked towards the hanging flower door.

Yan Fugui also heard Li Xuewu's teasing and said with a smile: "If I can really grow ten centimeters longer, I will agree to have my clothes cut again!"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing the third uncle laughing and joking, everyone here enjoying the coolness also started laughing.

The seventh daughter-in-law scolded Jia Zhang and asked with a smile: "Why didn't your Qin Jingru come back? Didn't she go to help?"

"Who knows, wild girl"

Mrs. Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "What kind of house will she live in there? What kind of house will she live in when she comes back? How can she still think about this place?"

"Besides, she is not from my family."

Even Qin Huairu, who was across the door, could smell Jia Zhang's taste.

Last time Qin Jingru came back and praised the Li Xuewu family so much, those who didn't know better would have thought that Li Xuewu was living in the Forbidden City.

Whether it's this or that, the house she lives in is so spacious, so she can be regarded as enjoying the blessings of city dwellers.

She is also a careless owner, so why should she praise her house more than others?

You keep talking about how nice your life is now, so have you forgotten the days when you just ran away from the village and lived here?

Who do you think is bad?
