Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Baba, yo~"

Li Shu also heard his wife's call for dinner. She stood up and pointed at the fish in the pond and said something to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu picked up his daughter and responded, "It's a fish. Let's wait until we have dinner to see it."

As he spoke, he walked towards the stairs and raised his voice slightly as he spoke upstairs: "Xiao Ning, it's time to eat."

"good"

In other words, Li Xuewu had good ears. Although Gu Ning had answered the call very clearly, he couldn't hear it even after a few turns.

After getting a response from Gu Ning, Li Xuewu carried Li Shu and walked to the restaurant. As he walked, he asked Ji Weidong: "Would you like to drink?"

"Don't drink"

Ji Weidong was already sitting at the dining table. When he saw Li Xuewu come in, he turned around and said, "When I drink, I feel sad and my heart becomes even sadder. I'm afraid I'll cry and make you laugh."

"You are so cheap~"

Li Xuewu didn't want to take advantage of this. He knew that this kid was not easy to get into trouble. If his relationship was in trouble, he would definitely come here to have fun.

Looking at the four dishes on the table, Li Xuewu twitched his lips and said, "Don't come here anymore. Because of you, our family has spent next month's food expenses."

"Hey! I have to come!"

Ji Weidong didn't believe Li Xuewu's nonsense. The couple both worked, and Li Xuewu still received two wages. There was no point in crying about poverty with him.

Gu Ning came in now and called Ji Weidong "big brother".

Li Xuewu deliberately made Ji Weidong angry. When he saw his daughter-in-law coming in, he said to his daughter: "Go and let mom hold her."

"Mama"

Li Shu still had some trouble learning the tongue, but she could understand the words "ba ba ma ma" quite clearly.

The clearest thing is the typing, I don’t know how to speak so accurately.

Gu Ning heard what Li Xuewu said and came over to pick up Li Shu. However, when Li Xuewu handed Li Shu to her, he kissed Li Shu and also kissed her on the face. She was so embarrassed that she glared at Li Xuewu. One glance.

Ji Weidong, who saw all this, was almost filled with hatred. He knew that Li Xuewu's revenge for hurting this boy was coming.

This is a master who can only take advantage and cannot suffer losses.

During dinner, Li Xuewu served Gu Ning several dishes, causing Ji Weidong to glare at him and Gu Ning to step on his foot under the table.

She really couldn't stand Li Xuewu's ambiguity. Gu Ning also discovered Li Xuewu's purpose, but doing this in front of outsiders, the old lady at home and Qin Jingru made her very uncomfortable.

After dinner, Gu Ning didn't ask Li Xuewu to pick her up, and went upstairs to play with Li Shu in her arms.

Qin Jingru was cleaning up in the kitchen, and the old lady went back to the house, leaving only Li Xuewu and Ji Weidong drinking tea in the living room.

"I went back and talked to the leader about what you mentioned last time."

Ji Weidong sat back on the sofa, folded his legs and said: "Later I asked my dad again. In principle, our leaders have no different opinions. The key is the ownership of the shares."

Coming here today, what Ji Weidong wants to talk about is what will happen after going to Hong Kong City.

In the future, he will have to make a living in Hong Kong City, and the foundation here must not be unstable.

So I talked very carefully with Li Xuewu and asked immediately, "You have to explain to me clearly why this share belongs to an individual or is it in my name."

"you're so dumb!"

Li Xuewu looked at Ji Weidong, who was stubborn, and explained: "The leaders of your unit will not be transferred? Can you guarantee that what you promised now will remain consistent in the future?"

Ji Weidong frowned and said, "Are you thinking too far ahead? I'm afraid you won't arouse everyone's resentment by hanging it in my name."

"Who's disgusted?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Whoever is disgusted with hanging on someone else really thinks it is a good job?"

"You also have to show an attitude."

Li Xuewu nodded to Ji Weidong and said, "You are on business, not on vacation. You must be modest and prudent."

"Where do you think this is?"

Ji Weidong glared and said: "Especially for a kite like me that is about to be flown out, I am walking on thin ice and don't dare to be careless."

"If you are so virtuous, don't say whether it will happen or not. Sooner or later you will have to come back."

Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "The opposite side is in a period of great development. Nothing can be accomplished by being cautious. In the barbaric era, there must be ruthlessness and ruthlessness, just think about it."

Ji Weidong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't scare me. I'm not scared. Let's wait until we get out. We have to follow the rules now."

After speaking, he glanced at Li Xuewu and asked, "My dad said you are ready. When will you act?"

"No hurries?!"

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea and said: "It's just a matter of a month or two. If you go early, you should familiarize yourself with the environment first, go to your dad's place more often, and wait for news from me."

Ji Weidong twitched the corners of his lips and said, "You really think that my dad is out there trying to win the wind and raining the rain. He told me that if we don't meet, we won't meet."

"Nonsense, you guys can still play hide and seek in such a big place."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "If nothing else, you will be watched as soon as you cross the border."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Weidong and said, "With your rustic look, people will look at you as a mainland kid."

"Fuck! Am I still tacky?"

Ji Weidong said unconvinced: "Look at my clothes, there is no one more awesome than me in Sijiucheng. Look at my motorcycle, hey..."

"You'll know when you get out."

Li Xuewu interrupted Ji Weidong's bragging and said with a smile: "If you have a chance later, remember to bring me some Hong Kong specialties. I can't go out at home, so I can only borrow your light."

“Easy to talk about”

Ji Weidong smiled and said: "Aren't they just some specialties? Just tell me what you want."

When he said this, he rolled his eyes and smiled evilly at Li Xuewu: "I heard people say that there are a lot of foreign girls in Hong Kong City, but now that they are open, I will bring you a few to see the world."

Li Xuewu glanced at Qin Jingru who came out of the kitchen. The girl was shocked by Ji Weidong's words and began to treat him as a gangster.

"Be careful, don't die before you leave the battlefield"

Li Xuewu's words were also hurt. He took another sip of tea and said: "Come to me again before you leave. I will give you a plan then. You can use it as a reference to achieve whatever you can achieve."

"What plan?"

Ji Weidong glared and said, "Just leave it to me now. If I don't understand something, I can ask you."

"You can't read Chinese characters?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him, and then explained: "I asked someone to collect some information about the port city, including financial, economic, political and social related content, and made some designs based on the situation. You will know when the time comes. ”.

Li Xuewu doesn't give it to him now because he is afraid that the plan will leak out prematurely or even be seen by people from the Investigation Department.

He has never been to Hong Kong City, but the relevant time points and history are still clear. Although what is written in the plan is mixed with other contents, it is inevitable to make people suspicious.

Of course, the only information given to Ji Weidong was about the docks and port ships, and the rest was with Sister Lou.

Investment banks must be the main framework of all businesses. Other branches or factories can cooperate, but cannot be controlled.

Including investment banks, Li Xuewu made cross-shareholding and holding operations and allocations in the plan as Sister Lou, striving for concealment and safety.

The port city is just a springboard, the ultimate goal is...

I chatted with Ji Weidong for a long time, because good friends were about to separate, so they talked more.

We talked about work, family, and Ji Weidong's recent love.

Just as he was talking, the phone at Li Xuewu's hand rang.

"Well, it's me"

Li Xuewu answered the phone, but it sounded like it was Lao Biaozi's business.

Lao Biaozi rarely called Li Xuewu. It was so late and his tone sounded like something was wrong.

"Brother Wu, someone came to report the funeral just now, saying that it was you who told me earlier."

"Announcement of funeral? Whose business?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly. No matter who it was, funerals always made him feel uncomfortable.

Lao Biaozi was very calm and said: "It's the old Dong's house in Xiaojingchang Hutong, Gulou East Street."

In fact, when Lao Biaozi mentioned Gulou East Street, he immediately thought of who it was. After Lao Biaozi finished speaking on the phone, Li Xuewu's heart still couldn't help but thump.

Listening to Li Xuewu's silence on the other end of the phone, the old Biaozi paused and asked, "Is this the home of Dong Wenwen?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu responded, and then ordered: "Call the second master and bring a few boys over to help with the work. There is no one at home over there."

"I know Brother Wu"

Seeing that Li Xuewu had no other instructions, Lao Biaozi hung up the phone, and Ji Weidong saw all the changes in Li Xuewu's face.

"What happened?"

Ji Weidong asked seriously: "Do you want me..."

"no"

Li Xuewu held his forehead with one hand, waved the other hand and said, "It's Dong Wenwen, her grandmother is gone."

"is her!"

Ji Weidong naturally remembers who Dong Wenwen is, and Rose, who played a trick on the two of them back then.

At this moment, he looked at Li Xuewu strangely and asked, "How could I find you when I'm gone?"

Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at Ji Weidong and said, "I asked for it myself. People from the street will take care of it. I delivered food twice. Seeing that the old lady was not in good spirits, I gave her the address."

"You are really... affectionate and righteous."

Ji Weidong is usually like a dick to Li Xuewu. He has the virtue of a demon king and always does serious things improperly.

But this time, Ji Weidong had the rare opportunity to express his admiration for Li Xuewu.

That woman had been with Li Xuewu. No matter what she did, at least she didn't hurt Li Xuewu.

Public affairs are public affairs, private affairs are private affairs.

In terms of official business, Li Xuewu has already done business, and everyone is dead, so what else can he talk about.

In terms of personal relationships, Li Xuewu owed her nothing, but people's hearts are full of flesh. When handling the case, Ji Weidong also knew that Dong Wenwen should have a bright future.

It was all her uncle, the devil in reality and the devil in people's hearts, who caused her tragic ending.

"Are you okay soon?"

Li Xuewu stood up and asked, while looking for his handbag.

Ji Weidong saw that Li Xuewu was going to the scene, so he had to stand up and said, "It's okay if you have something to do. I can still leave if you have something to do."

Li Xuewu threw the car keys to Ji Weidong, then motioned upstairs and said, "I'll tell you, you go to the garage and drive first."

Ji Weidong looked at the keys in his hand and replied: "Why don't you ride my motorcycle, it's faster."

“It’s not safe if you don’t sit on two wheels.”

As Li Xuewu said this, he had already gone upstairs.

Ji Weidong curled his lips and muttered: "You are arrogant and afraid of death, what the hell~"

On the second floor, Gu Ning was reading in the study with Li Shu in her arms.

Of course, Li Shu could not read. She was sitting on the executive desk, holding a crayon on the draft paper, babbling and drawing something randomly.

Seeing Ba Ba coming in, Li Shu just raised her head and glanced, and then "busy" on her own.

Gu Ning, on the other hand, looked at Li Xuewu's expression as if something was wrong, stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you still remember how you were hospitalized?"

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and asked. Then he saw Gu Ning's eyes move and continued without waiting for her to answer: "Her name is Dong Wenwen."

Gu Ning didn't know why Li Xuewu said this, and asked hesitantly: "Isn't she...?"

"yes"

Li Xuewu nodded, and then explained: "She also has a grandmother who lives alone. I have delivered food twice. Just now Biaozi called and said it was gone."

"Really"

Gu Ning was also a little surprised. She looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you going to deal with the funeral arrangements?"

"uncertain"

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "The street is responsible for taking care of the old lady. According to the calculation of widows and orphans, the street should handle the funeral affairs."

After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "I just asked Biaozi and Erye to go over to help, and Wei Dong and I also went over to take a look."

"Go ahead, it's time to help."

Gu Ning walked out from behind the desk, helped Li Xuewu straighten his clothes, and said, "Just buy whatever you need. It won't be a problem if you come back late."

"Well, if you're late, don't wait for me and go to bed early."

Li Xuewu hugged Gu Ning, then turned and went downstairs.

Looking at Li Xuewu's back, Gu Ning turned around, hugged Li Shu, and stood by the window.

Downstairs, Li Xuewu walked out of the gate and jumped into the jeep that Ji Weidong had already driven to the door. With a sound of accelerator, the jeep disappeared at the entrance of the street.

Gu Ning stood by the window and looked for a while, until Li Shu hugged his neck before turning around.

After placing Li Shu on the table again and sitting down, Gu Ning could no longer read the book she just read.

She didn't know much about Li Xuewu and Dong Wenwen. It was because she was injured and was hospitalized. She only heard a few words from Li Xuewu during the time when she and Li Xuewu were recuperating together.

She never heard Li Xuewu mention this person again, but she knew about this case. It was in Li Xuewu's work briefing, and she had also seen it.

This time it happened so suddenly that if Li Xuewu hadn't said it, she would have been unable to remember it.

Gu Ning didn't know that Li Xuewu sent food to her home, but she wasn't angry.

People always have to have some emotions and conscience. No matter what Li Xuewu had with Dong Wenwen, it is all in the past now.

Li Xuewu did the right thing. It wasn't because he didn't tell her that he had some misunderstanding or defensiveness against her.

The two of them also discussed this issue before the marriage. Li Xuewu said frankly that he would tell Gu Ning whatever he wanted to know.

But Gu Ning didn't want to know anything, as long as Li Xuewu was sure about getting married.

Gu Ning didn't know if Li Xuewu had any vows of love with his ex-girlfriends, but she didn't need it.

Any agreement without an emotional basis will become a trigger of resentment. Gu Ning does not want to play the common trick of love causing hatred.

When I think about Li Xuewu, I have to think about his personality and work style.

Even though he was a bit wild sometimes, he was still kind and righteous.

It's the same with my family members, and it's the same with old relationships.

Li Xuewu just came up to "report" the itinerary to her. He wanted to respect her and explain it to her. That was enough.

Gu Ning would not embarrass herself, let alone her man.

She couldn't read the book not because she cared about Li Xuewu going to help her ex-girlfriend's house, but because she discovered another good thing about Li Xuewu.

This kind of good feeling may have been felt before, but today it is particularly obvious.

Li Shu saw that Mom was not talking or reading, just sitting there in a daze, and stretched out her little hand to scratch Mom.

Gu Ning couldn't help but be startled when he saw Li Shu's actions. Then he saw that the paper in front of Li Shu was worn out and there was no blank space for drawing, so he turned over a page.

Seeing Li Shu's cute and well-behaved appearance, Gu Ning's inner softness was touched again.

Yes, this person has never been as vicious or cynical as he appears on the surface. He has always had a warm heart that shines on her and more people.

After returning from the south, she remembered the first, second, third, and even subsequent meetings with Li Xuewu.

When she heard that Li Xuewu had picked up a child while on a business trip, she just thought that this person was really mischievous.

Even though he is only nineteen years old, he has to raise a baby.

But as the number of meetings with Li Xuewu increased, Gu Ning seemed to gradually discover another side of this man.

There is also a tender side beneath the steely aura, especially when she takes the initiative to discuss raising Li Shu with herself before and after marriage.

Every time I get off work, that face that smiles when I see my daughter is young, enthusiastic, sincere, and cute.

After all, he was only twenty years old, but he was much more mature than himself. Being with him made him become the object of care and concern.

Gu Ning took a crayon from the box and sketched the appearance of a little rabbit on the white paper in front of Li Shu.

Li Shu's little hands were all stained with crayons. Now she saw Mommy drawing for her, staring at it with big eyes.

Seeing her mother looking at me after finishing the painting, she also started to draw with her little mouth pouted.

After all, he is a child, and the world in his eyes is still ignorant, so how can he draw it? It is still a "Picasso" style, where the pen falls, there is a line.

The old lady saw her grandson going out. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement upstairs, she came upstairs.

Seeing his grandson's wife coaxing the child to play, he smiled and entered the study.

"Xuewu went out again?"

"Well, he's in trouble"

Gu Ning responded, but did not explain anything in detail.

It wasn't that there was anything to keep secret, but there was no old lady over there, and Gu Ning was afraid that she would overthink it.

The old lady was afraid that Gu Ning would think too much. After all, Li Xuewu came back in the middle of the night just a few days ago, so she was afraid that Gu Ning would be angry.

Just now downstairs, Qin Jingru reported to her that the guests were not good people and told Li Xuewu that they were foreign ladies.

The old lady didn't think about her grandson and the children of the Ji family going to find any foreign girls, but when the two young men were together, she thought Xu was going to drink, or screw him or something.

After sitting down there for a while, he was also worried that Gu Ning upstairs would be unhappy, so he came up.

Once Gu Ning found out about Li Xuewu's movements, he stopped talking about it.

Li Shu, on the other hand, saw his wife coming up and pointed out his paintings to her and introduced them nonstop with babbling words.

It's time for Li Shu to express herself. She spends less and less time throwing things and more and more time sharing the novelties and surprises she sees with the people around her.

This is the process of children passing through cognition and moving towards learning. At this time, the behavior of adults is particularly critical.

Some people talk about prenatal education, but I don’t know if it’s useful, but when your child looks at you with ignorant eyes, it’s best to exercise restraint, and your behavior should set a good example for your child.

For example, if you break a toy, no one will care about her at home. Even if she throws Li Shun's medicine bottle, no one dares to blame her. That's not just playing like crazy.

When we got here, starting from Li Xuewu, everyone in the family had good behaviors and habits, and Li Shu also learned from the adults.

Especially when throwing things, Gu Ning would look at her every time she saw him. Gradually, Li Shu stopped doing this.

When the old lady saw Gu Ning teaching her children to draw, she felt that educated parents were different.

The old lady still knew what level of education the grandson had, but Li Xuewu was educated and rarely used it in daily life.

Especially when it comes to Li Shu, Li Shun is said to be spoiled with children, and Li Xuewu is even worse.

Li Shu hit him, which Li Xuewu never said. At most, it was just to scare him, and at most, it was just a couple of gentle spanks on the buttocks.

But for a big devil like Li Shu, this is nothing!

Only with Gu Ning's death gaze, Li Shu would never dare to raise her hand in front of Gu Ning.

Gu Ning didn't talk about beating the child, nor did she scold the child, but Li Shu was just afraid of her.

Li Shu was afraid of Gu Ning, but she didn't avoid Gu Ning. Sometimes she even rushed to hug him.

Now the old lady is discovering more and more that Li Shu is starting to cling to Gu Ning, imitating Gu Ning's behavior in everything, including holding a cup and drinking water.

The old lady was naturally happy to see her grandson's daughter-in-law getting along with Li Shu like this, and at the same time she gradually felt relieved. When she moved back home in the future, Li Shu would not be uncomfortable with it.

Gu Ning turned the pages of Li Shu's manuscript paper and continued to teach Li Shu how to draw small animals. Li Shu was chatting with his wife while drawing.

The old lady sat next to her and kept smiling, watching the interaction between mother and daughter.

The three of them played upstairs until after nine o'clock. Li Shu was very excited to have her mother play with her today. She yawned twice, but she was still stubborn and refused to let go of the paintbrush in her hand.

In the end, the old lady couldn't bear it any more and frightened Li Shu a few words.

However, Li Shu learned how to find a backer. When she saw her wife scaring her, she moved her butt and crawled over to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning looked at Li Shu funnyly, not daring to let her little hands grab his clothes, and picked Li Shu up first.

"How about staying upstairs with mom tonight?"

When Li Shu saw her mother talking, she looked at Gu Ning with big eyes. But when she saw the smile on her mother's face, she knew that she was expressing goodwill to herself.

"Hehe~"

When the old lady saw Li Shu smiling, she happily let Li Shu interact with Gu Ning more. She simply said a few words and went downstairs.

Gu Ning coaxed the paintbrush in Li Shu's hand, took her to the bathroom to wash her hands and face, and then carried her back to the bed in the master bedroom.

There is a carriage for Li Shu on the second floor, but Li Shu has been sleeping with the old lady since she arrived, and there is no quilt on the carriage on the second floor.

Gu Ning didn't know when Li Xuewu would come back, so he turned on the light in the small living room, turned off the light in the master bedroom, and coaxed Li Shu to sleep.

Li Shu was indeed having a lot of fun playing with her mother today. She was mumbling, and although her eyes were closed, her little feet were still moving.

Gu Ning leaned on the bedside and looked at the little person in her arms. She only thought that her future children should be as healthy and lively as Li Shu.

Li Shu also seemed to know that Gu Ning was thinking of her, she pursed her lips and smiled, and her little hand seemed to be holding the paintbrush.

Gu Ning saw that Li Shu was asleep and was about to lie down with her when she heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs.

After a while, I heard the car entering the warehouse, and I thought it must be Li Xuewu coming back.

Gu Ning got off the bed, opened some curtains and looked downstairs. The lights in the courtyard had been turned on, and Qin Jingru was walking towards the door wearing slippers.

In the direction of the gate, Ji Weidong was already riding on a motorcycle, talking to Li Xuewu who was standing aside.

In just two sentences, Qin Jingru opened the door, and Ji Weidong also got on his motorcycle and rode out towards the street.

Li Xuewu entered the courtyard, asked Qin Jingru a few words and then entered the room.

Gu Ning put down the curtains, turned around and looked at Li Shu on the bed, walked out of the master bedroom and went to the stairs to greet her.

But when he saw Li Xuewu coming up the stairs quietly, he asked: "Is everything done?"

"have not sleep yet?"

Li Xuewu asked, then went up to the second floor, smiled at Gu Ning's worried expression, and said, "The streets were almost done when we went there."

Gu Ning nodded, went to the cloakroom to find clothes for Li Xuewu, walked out and motioned to the bathroom and said, "Go take a shower."

Li Xuewu took the clothes and looked at his daughter, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and asked Gu Ning, "Why is she sleeping here?"

“I played late at night and didn’t want to leave.”

Gu Ning smiled and got on the bed first without waiting for Li Xuewu.

By the time Li Xuewu came out of the shower, Gu Ning was already a little sleepy. She faced Li Xuewu, hugged Li Shu and yawned.

Li Xuewu smiled, got on the bed quietly, and looked down at his daughter.

When my daughter is not making trouble, she looks very cute. She has big eyes and long eyelashes. She doesn’t know what happened to her in her sleep, and her little mouth is chattering.

I couldn't help but lower my head and kiss my daughter on the forehead, then lay down.

Gu Ning reached out and touched Li Xuewu's face, smiled at Li Xuewu and closed his eyes.

Li Xuewu fell asleep with his daughter in the same position as Gu Ning.

The posture is harmonious and beautiful when you sleep, but it is not like that when you wake up in the morning.

Li Shu didn't know when she was hugged to Li Xuewu's chest. Because she was lying flat on her back, Li Shu slept soundly on her father's chest.

Li Xuewu's chest rose and fell like a car.

Gu Ning, on the other hand, was leaning on Li Xuewu's arm, like Li Shu, and looked as cute as a baby before she woke up in the morning.

Li Xuewu also felt something strange about Gu Ning and Li Shu. He vaguely heard that the child slept with them last night, so he woke up and looked for the child.

Seeing the sleeping posture of mother and daughter, Li Xuewu smiled happily.

Perhaps feeling the stiffness of Li Xuewu's arm, Gu Ning twisted uncomfortably, raised his head with squinted eyes, and saw the sun shining on Li Xuewu's smiling face, giving off a dazzling light.

"Um~~~Are you awake?"

Gu Ning turned around and rubbed his face, then thought of something and sat up suddenly.

Looking at Li Shu sleeping sweetly on Li Xuewu's chest, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuewu knew that Gu Ning was looking for Li Shu. The couple had no experience in raising children. It was the first time they slept in the same bed with a child. When they woke up in the morning and didn't see the child, they were almost scared to death.

Gu Ning was startled and no longer sleepy. Seeing that the time on the wall was still early, she moved her body and sat on the head of the bed.

"No more sleep?"

Li Xuewu moved his body to make his daughter sleep more comfortably, and leaned closer to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning gave Li Xuewu a funny look. She didn't know his little thoughts.

He reached out and patted Li Xuewu and told him not to make trouble, but he asked about what happened last night.

"Are you still going today?"

"No"

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and explained: "It was packed up last night. It is scheduled to be buried before dawn this morning. Lao Biaozi is there to help."

Originally Li Xuewu wanted to keep a wake for the old lady of the Dong family, but Lao Biaozi persuaded him.

It didn't matter before, but now it's not appropriate. The cadres in the street here all know Li Xuewu and know Li Xuewu's identity.

Although he won't gossip, he can't help people's speculation.

After all, Lao Biaozi thought more and knew that the situation was not good. The courtyard here was in the same environment as the courtyard over there, and no one knew what the bottom line was.

Li Xuewu listened to Lao Biaozi's advice and asked him to stay and help more, so he came back with Ji Weidong.

Of course, when I came back, I didn't go home directly. Instead, I was led by Ji Weidong to the shops that were open at night.

The capital was not bad at this time. There were already many street lights on the streets, and you could also find non-staple food stores that were open at night.

The two walked around in a very annoying circle, selling nothing. One went in empty-handed and the other came out empty-handed, which made the salesperson mutter for a while.

After going to Baishi or other taboo places, it is not appropriate to go home directly. Li Xuewu understood these things.

In addition, there are women and children in the house, so you need to be even more careful.

"There is still rice left from the last delivery. I asked the person who has been taking care of her to keep it."

Li Xuewu straightened up, let Gu Ning put a pillow on his back, and said while lying down, "The service is very good. The clothes are all provided by others, and the hair is combed very clean."

Gu Ning listened to Li Xuewu's speech. She didn't say anything, but just used her hands to smooth the hair on Li Shu's face.

Li Xuewu looked down at his daughter and continued: "I don't know if the other party recognizes me, but he is doing good deeds, so I didn't step forward to help him."

In fact, the woman in the courtyard did more than Li Xuewu said. Originally, there was no one in the Dong family, and people from the street came to handle the funeral affairs. No matter what, it was the same.

But the woman discussed it with the street cadres and waited until Li Xuewu arrived and let him see her before sealing the coffin.

If nothing else, the woman knew that someone still cared about the old lady of the Dong family, and it would be hard to seal the coffin without knowing it after serving the old lady.

It doesn’t have to make people feel uneasy, and it’s not good to say anything.

Li Xuewu also thought about this, but he couldn't ask or say anything if he didn't do a good job.

After sealing the coffin, Li Xuewu and the old Biaozi who came to help helped the street officials move the coffin to the car and waited for the funeral in the early morning.

She was a widower without her family, and it was from the street to come forward, so a lot of procedures were saved.

If the second master hadn't gone with him and arranged for the boys to pay for the paper money, the old lady of the Dong family might not have had these when she left.

The streets cannot make do with this. They will prepare things for those who are concerned about it, and just leave for those who are not concerned about it. It is not good for the streets to prepare these things.

Not everyone can make paper money, and not everyone can burn paper money.

The woman who took care of the old lady of the Dong family burned some, and Li Xuewu also knelt down and burned some.

In fact, it was because Li Xuewu knelt down and burned the paper that the street and the neighbors over there noticed something, and only then was Lao Biaozi reminded him.

Li Xuewu knelt down and burned paper for the old lady, but he didn't feel bad. First, the old lady from the Dong family was over sixty, so she was an old woman.

The second one is Dong Wenwen. Li Xuewu doesn't owe her anything, and Dong Wenwen doesn't owe Li Xuewu anything.

The two had a fate when they were young, and what Li Xuewu did last night is not an exaggeration.

At least I can tell my wife, calmly.

Gu Ning had no reaction after hearing this. He just felt that Li Xuewu was kind-hearted and kind.

The couple chatted about their son for a while and didn't stop until Li Shu woke up.

Li Shu first scratched her face with her little hands, then opened her eyes and took a look. After waiting for a long time, she saw her parents looking at her and started laughing.

Li Shu's little teeth are growing very fast. Maybe it's the calcium supplement from milk. She's growing taller quickly and her teeth are growing well.

At this moment, he sat up with his little hands on his father's chest. Seeing Mom look at him again, he stood up and rushed towards Gu Ning.

Gu Ning took advantage of the situation and hugged Li Shu directly out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Li Xuewu saw his wife taking the children to wash their faces, so he also got out of bed to help.

The family of three was really lively, and Li Shu's giggles never stopped.

When they got downstairs, the old lady and Qin Jingru had already prepared breakfast.

"Ouch~Who is this~"

The old lady teased Li Shu and asked with a smile: "Isn't this little Li Shu? Where did you sleep last night? Did you sleep well?"

Li Shu was held in Gu Ning's arms, smiling and avoiding his wife's teasing.

Li Xuewu walked to the cabinet and turned on the radio, listening to the news as he walked to the restaurant.

"Have the cabbages in the yard come down?"

"No, she's still young."

The old lady followed Gu Ning into the restaurant. She glanced at Qin Jingru who came out of the kitchen and said, "Jingru takes good care of the vegetable garden. The vegetables are very good."

"What's the point, old lady? Which family in the village doesn't plant a garden?"

Although Qin Jingru said modestly, her face was full of pride. This was the first time she decided what to plant and completed the vegetable garden by herself.

When she was at home, her mother decided what to grow and how she served her. She could only be ordered.

She has become an expert since she came here. The old lady has not planted a garden all year round because there is no space in the courtyard.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning are even less mature, so with Zhou Yamei's support, the vegetable garden in this yard is quite good.

In addition to having to buy meat and fish from outside, the family is already self-sufficient in food.

This is something my family dares to eat. I don’t worry about the oil. Every meal has four dishes, otherwise Yuanzi won’t be able to eat it.

Gu Ning's family and upbringing environment aside, Li Xuewu was a man of his words, telling Qin Jingru not to skimp on food and to work only when she was full.

Qin Jingru still followed Li Xuewu's orders, cooking in different ways every time, but her cooking skills got better and better.

It has been almost a month since I came here for more than 20 days, and Qin Jingru's face is visibly fleshy, and she is really starting to look like a fat girl.

The figure was originally hunched forward and backward, but now it has developed even better.

Speaking of which, Qin Jingru is not very old, so she might still be in school if she stays in the city.

When I was at home, I was already able to do farm work, do housework, take care of my younger brothers and sisters, and serve in the vegetable garden.

Coming to the city, even though he went through a big adventure with twists and turns, it was still a blessing.

Although Li Xuewu's job is all nanny work, he can still cope with it. In addition, with a good life, good clothes and good housing, there is no way he will not gain weight.

"How about eating dumplings tonight?"

Li Xuewu looked at the old lady and Gu Ning and said, "Just eat cabbage stuffed with oil residue."

"Haha, it comes up as soon as you think about it."

The old lady smiled and said something to Li Xuewu, then looked at Qin Jingru and asked: "Is there any leftover oil residue from the meat oil you consumed last time?"

"I have it"

Qin Jingru responded with a smile. In fact, after Li Xuewu finished speaking, she also wanted to eat.

Who doesn’t know that dumplings are good? In the village, you don’t necessarily eat dumplings once a year. After Li Xuewu said this, she started to swallow her saliva.

Seeing the old lady asking, she was very positive and replied smoothly: "Last time, you said we should separate, so I mixed some meat oil in it and saved the money."

"Then let's eat dumplings tonight, haha."

The old lady chuckled and made the final decision, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Come back early in the evening, you don't need to pay for it, and I will help take care of the children."

When Qin Jingru saw the old lady instructing Li Xuewu, she smiled and said, "No need, I can do it by myself. Director Li is so busy."

"Let him do it"

The old lady glanced at Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "This man must be well served and trained well. He must be made homesick and know when the time comes to go home for dinner."

Only the old lady dared to say this. Gu Ning glanced at Li Xuewu with a pursed lips.

But Qin Jingru had to smile secretly, fearing that Li Xuewu would become angry due to embarrassment.
