Men and women eating in the courtyard

The idle chatter at noon didn't lead to much success. Everyone was testing each other and pretending to be serious.

Li Xuewu was not in a hurry. There were countless toads in the water. Who can scream and who cannot scream will be known when the time comes.

Back in the office, Li Xuewu received a call from the library. He didn't know how Director Zhang found his phone number. He said he wanted to talk on the phone.

Li Xuewu didn't answer the question, saying that he was busy here and didn't have time to go there, and asked political commissar Wang Xiaoqin to talk to him, but it was the same.

Director Zhang was also sad. Li Xuewu couldn't get enough oil and salt, and Wang Xiaoqin refused to give up any ground. This work was impossible to do.

When I went to work this morning, I found some comrades coming in and out of the window, because the entire entrance to the building was blocked by piles of sand.

What's even more annoying is that the corridors that were shoveled out by the security guards yesterday have been restored, and the piles of sand are so high.

If we continue like this, we don't need to go through the window. We can directly climb the sand pile and climb up from the rain on the second floor, which can be used as steps.

Okay, the first floor becomes a basement, only Shancheng can do this.

He approached the superiors, but the superiors were in a dilemma now and had no time to deal with this matter. They did not do a good job in the big study and discussion, and they had to do it again.

Well, the newly established working group spared them all and focused on areas related to culture and art.

The same is true for bookstores. This kind of unit has many branches, which are overstaffed, overstaffed, and have mouthpieces for speech.

As Li Xuewu knew, there were three newspapers working in the building over there.

At this time, the management of newspapers and periodicals was also very vague. Each unit had its own newspaper organization.

When the cultural level of all classes in society shows top advantages, it is inevitable that there will be situations such as control of public opinion.

Li Xuewu didn't want to see this. He didn't care about other places and had no ability to control them.

But within the scope of his management, such dangerous signs cannot occur.

At this time, Li Xuewu insisted on clearing out the East Wing Building for a reason unknown to others.

In other words, no matter who Director Zhang calls for, Li Xuewu's attitude will not change.

The dormitory building was anxious, but not that anxious, because the newly recruited members of the security brigade had to be sent to the mountains for unified training.

Can it be formed in less than three months?

Let alone three months, he would not let these people go down the mountain unless the first wind stopped.

As the seeds of the future, just practice on the mountain honestly.

The building here is mainly to be taken back to accommodate the existing team members, and at the same time to solve the living pressure of part of the 816th Regiment here.

The two units now get along very harmoniously. They eat together, train together, work in the same compound, and have unified security management.

If they all live together, the relationship between them will be more harmonious.

I don’t know if the people in the 816th Regiment saw Li Xuewu’s intention, but Qi Yaowu’s intention to talk to Li Xuewu last time was a little interesting.

Li Xuewu is a master who counts ten moves every time he takes one step. He doesn't make moves easily, and his moves must have a purpose.

After rejecting Director Zhang's call, Li Xuewu was busy until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and decided to leave work early.

Today's schedule is really chaotic and there are many things to do. Li Xuewu really doesn't want to go out to socialize at night, but Father Lou has made an appointment and can't refuse.

When the command vehicle arrived home, the door was ajar, and Qin Jingru was about to enter the hospital holding a bundle of tree branches.

Seeing Li Xuewu get out of the car, Qin Jingru glanced at the courtyard in panic.

"Old lady, is it already past six o'clock?"

"No~"

The old lady also saw Li Xuewu get out of the car and said, "I just came out of the house. It's only after five o'clock. Why did you get off work so early?"

"I have something to do tonight, so I have to get off work early."

Li Xuewu greeted Sha Qizhi, carried his bag and entered the courtyard.

At this moment, Gu Ning also walked out of the room and looked at Li Xuewu with raised eyebrows. Just now she seemed to have heard that Li Xuewu was about to go out.

"Ah, who is this little cat?"

Seeing the dirt on Li Shu's face and clothes, Li Xuewu smiled and teased his daughter.

Seeing Li Shu showing her small teeth and smiling, she raised her head and said to the old lady and the others: "Don't bring my food tonight. There is a bureau over there at the club."

After saying that, he stood up and smiled with Gu Ning before going into the house.

Gu Ning looked back at Li Xuewu, wondering what the situation was.

The old lady motioned upstairs and said to Gu Ning, "Let's find some clothes. I've been wearing them all day."

"oh"

Gu Ning also knew that the old lady gave him steps to go upstairs, so he responded and entered the house.

Upstairs, Li Xuewu carried his handbag and was about to go to the study to find the plan he discussed with Lou's father last time. He also wrote an opinion about the port city, and this time he just showed it to Lou's father.

But just as he was about to enter the study, he saw a jewelry box on the bookshelf. This box looked a bit like the one he took out of the car in the morning.

wrong! It's a scam!

Li Xuewu's steps changed, his handbag was placed on the tea table in the small living room, and he entered the master bedroom.

After Gu Ning went upstairs, he looked at the handbag on the tea table, then looked at the study, but heard movement in the master bedroom.

"Xiao Ning?"

"Um"

Gu Ning heard Li Xuewu's voice coming from the back room and stepped into the bedroom.

At this time, Li Xuewu, shirtless, leaned out of the cloakroom and took a look. When he saw Gu Ning was the only one, he walked out.

"Just right, help me find a more formal outfit, or just work clothes."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Ning to speak, he had already gone to the bathroom.

Gu Ning pouted and found a white and black set for Li Xuewu from the cloakroom.

When she came out again, she heard Li Xuewu say to her from the bathroom: "There is a document labeled Plan A in the drawer under the desk. Help me find it. I will use it later."

"knew"

Gu Ning agreed, not knowing whether Li Xuewu could hear his voice or not. Anyway, the voice he spoke just now was intermittent.

Gu Ning could barely hear the sound of the running water in the shower and the sound insulation in the bathroom.

After walking out of the master bedroom, I came to the study room and searched in the desk drawer. I couldn't help but twitch my lips when I saw the "Plan A" sign.

What a bad name~

She had no interest in opening it and reading it. Sometimes after dinner, he would sit in the study and write about it.

Li Xuewu is a security cadre and an industrial safety cadre. His family also set up a recycling bin with his children, and I don’t know when they set up a club.

Gu Ning knew something about Li Xuewu, but it was only superficial.

The recycling bin is in the courtyard, but Gu Ning has never asked or cared about it.

It was only from the attitudes of the people in the courtyard and the fact that Li Xuewu often went there to talk about things that we could guess that Li Xuewu was involved in the recycling bin.

As for the others, I know very little about them, and I even feel a little indifferent.

She is a doctor and only cares about her work. When she returns home, she only thinks about spending time with her family.

Gu Ning has no idea whether Li Xuewu has many friends and a lot of money.

Gu Ning's salary was kept in a drawer in the study, but Li Xuewu's was not, and she didn't ask where the money went.

Daily grocery shopping, electricity bills, water bills, etc. are all handled by Li Xuewu. When the day comes, Li Xuewu comes back to bring rice and noodles, which has nothing to do with her.

Although the two have only been married for a month, they seem to have had a tacit understanding of money for decades.

After looking at "Plan A" in his hand, Gu Ning unconsciously looked at the red box on the bookshelf.

She took a look just now and saw that the box had not been touched, and Li Xuewu didn't have time to come to the study.

Gu Ning thought for a moment, stuffed the file back, and pushed the drawer away.

The sound of running water in the bathroom was still there. Gu Ning stood at the door and knocked, raising her voice and saying, "I can't find the file. I was called downstairs. You can look for it yourself."

"Ah? Got it~"

…

Li Xuewu took a shower very quickly, just taking a shower, and when he came out, his clothes were already ready on the bed.

I glanced in the direction of the study, but there was no one. I leaned out and looked out the door, but there was no one either.

Faintly hearing Gu Ning's voice downstairs, Li Xuewu twitched the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes like a little fox.

After drying himself and changing into clean clothes, Li Xuewu licked his lips and entered the study with a smirk on his face.

He glanced at the jewelry box on the bookshelf and walked to the desk.

Opening the drawer, Li Xuewu rummaged around and found the file right here.

Hum ~

It turns out you like to play with this~

Li Xuewu smiled evilly and rummaged through his hands. There were a lot of good things confiscated in Steel City back then, so he picked out a phoenix hairpin and put it in a gift box.

He walked to the bookshelf, smiled mischievously, and placed the gift box in his hand next to the jewelry box.

As for the location, the wood texture is at an angle, and then diagonally off.

After moving it like this, when you put it back, you usually focus on the front corners and ignore the back corners.

After putting them away, Li Xuewu took a step back, looked at each other, turned around and left the study with a smile.

Downstairs, Gu Ning and the old lady were sitting on the sofa chatting, as if they were waiting for Li Xuewu on purpose.

Seeing Li Xuewu coming downstairs, he stood up and greeted Li Xuewu in a rare gesture: "Did you find the document?"

"Well, it's pressed down."

Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to the document in his hand, then smiled and made a face at his daughter.

Gu Ning watched Li Xuewu go to the foyer to change his shoes, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance upstairs.

The old lady also felt that Gu Ning was a little abnormal today. She had a rare chat with her just now and talked a lot.

Could it be because Gu Ning's mother had just left and she was a little uncomfortable with it?

This abnormality continued. When Li Xuewu went to the garage and drove the car away from the exit, he heard the sound of the car fading away. Gu Ning, who had been chatting with him just now, said that he wanted to go upstairs to take a look.

"The clothes he changed are still upstairs, and the bathroom must not have been tidied up."

Gu Ning also noticed the surprised look in the old lady's eyes and explained embarrassedly.

After seeing the old lady nodding, he slowed down and went up the stairs as usual.

After walking around the corner, he quickly went upstairs.

She calculated that Li Xuewu would touch the box and try on the watch, and maybe replace it with the pair they bought together. After all, the one in the box looked better.

Or maybe Li Xuewu saw it and didn't move, but this probability is very small.

The reason why he didn't move may be that he didn't see it, or he was in a hurry to leave and ignored it.

When Gu Ning saw that Li Xuewu didn't touch the box after going upstairs just now, he calculated various possibilities in his mind.

I walked up to the second floor with an anxious heart. Compared to the anxiety just now, my pace was slower now.

One step, two steps...

When Gu Ning walked into the small living room, turned around the moon door, and looked towards the bookshelf...

"Hmm~~~~~"

Gu Ning was so surprised that she almost bit her tongue!

What did she see!

There was obviously a box there, but why was there an extra one!

Gave birth?

Of course not, it must have been Li Xuewu.

But why did he put another one? He obviously saw this box.

Gu Ning walked into the study room and went to the bookshelf. She carefully looked at the jewelry box where she placed it. There was no trace of it being moved.

Looking at the one Li Xuewu put away, it seemed to be placed randomly. Unlike her care, the sides of the box were not adhered to the wood grain.

Gu Ning frowned slightly and became tangled looking at the box.

What does he mean?

Does he know what he means?

Is he putting this one for himself?

What if there is a mechanism or something else in the box?

If I move the box will it...

"Whatever~"

Gu Ning couldn't help but feel curious, and reached out to grab the box.

But just when her hand was about to touch the box, she stopped because she seemed to see something.

He turned his head and turned his face slightly to the side, looking at the corner of the box that seemed to be aligned with the folded corner of the wood grain.

"Haha~childish~"

The corners of Gu Ning's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes unconsciously squinted in imitation of Li Xuewu's, as if she had caught Li Xuewu.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, he secretly smiled proudly, thinking that since Li Xuewu had made one, there would definitely be more than this one based on his character.

Gu Ning turned around and moved the arm chair in front of the desk and placed it in front of the bookshelf. Then he stood on the arm chair with his hands on the bookshelf and poked his head around the box to observe.

"Okay, I'm so arrogant~"

Gu Ning murmured softly. Although his words were filled with anger, the pride in his mouth was still overflowing.

After looking at the opposite corner, Gu Ning reached out and picked up the gift box.

After getting off the armchair, he walked back to the desk, gently opened the lid of the gift box, and immediately stared at Feng Chai in the box.

The study room on the second floor has very good lighting, otherwise it would not be used as a study room.

The setting sun shines in and shines on the gift box, making the golden hairpin inside even more dazzling.

"This...how can this person give such a thing~"

Gu Ning is not someone who loves money, nor is she someone who is vain and comparison-prone. She just likes the unique shape of this phoenix hairpin, its elegance and beauty, and the hairpin head and phoenix eyes are decorated with gems.

Under the setting sun, the red light shines in, and this hairpin-headed phoenix seems to be alive.

Gu Ning pursed her lips, her eyes pleased but not blurry. This man knew his preferences.

She has beautiful hair, and this hairpin must be very beautiful on her head, but it is a little too conspicuous.

Who would go out on the streets with gold and silver jewelry at this time? Let alone a doctor, she is just a normal housewife. At most, she only has a gold ring and a silver bracelet.

Gu Ning was both happy that Li Xuewu knew she understood her, but also complained that he spent money randomly to buy such expensive things.

She even complained that he deliberately teased her and even got a box to put next to that box. What do you mean~

Gu Ning pouted, snorted, and put Feng Chai back in, preparing to put the box back on the bookshelf.

But after thinking about it, he took out the hairpin with a wicked smile, sealed the empty box, stood on the armchair, and restored the box to its original position.

After putting it away, Gu Ning pursed her lips and snickered, took another look, hummed and moved the armchair back to the desk.

But when she went to get the hairpin, she found a hair on the desk where she was looking at the gift box just now.

Why is there hair here?

And it's obviously not hers, it belongs to Li Xuewu.

Qin Jingru had to clean up the study room on weekdays. The desk would be wiped every day, and she would never leave any hair here.

After Li Xuewu came back, he didn't read here yet. He just passed by and went to look for documents in the drawer opposite. He would have left his hair here.

He just took a shower!

It must be in the gift box, but she was just looking at the hairpin. Where was the hair?

Gu Ning was dumbfounded when she looked at the hair on the table, and then felt a little embarrassed. She stretched out her hand and swept the hair to the ground, as if she was treating Li Xuewu.

Staring at the hair on the ground, Gu Ning took the hairpin and walked towards the bookshelf angrily.

"Hmph~ No more fun!"

This is too bullying~

He only set up one trap, not counting the one in front of him and the one behind him, and he even got a hair in the box!

Who are you guarding against! Who are you bullying?

Why does this person have so many eyes?

Gu Ning took down both boxes from the bookshelf and stuffed them into the cabinet under the bookshelf.

I looked at the hairpin in my hand again, but still didn't want to put it away together. I turned around and walked to the master bedroom. When I passed by the hair, I stamped my foot vigorously.

——

"Hiss~~~"

Li Xuewu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Lou's father said.

"I don't have any definite information, but are you sure they did this?"

Father Lou looked at Li Xuewu and did not answer the question. Instead, he lowered his head and drank another glass of wine.

Li Xuewu spread his right hand, paused, saw Sister Lou's complaining eyes, and explained: "I'm just a little surprised, I don't have any doubts."

"I understand, I felt a little helpless after hearing this."

Father Lou took the wine bottle and wanted to pour himself some wine, but Sister Lou snatched it away and glared at his father.

"If you want to drink, you have to wait until the matter is over."

Sister Lou put the bottle away and advised: "Everyone has their own choices, and it has nothing to do with you, so why bother."

"Alas~"

Father Lou looked at the empty wine glass and sighed, and then said: "We have been old friends for many years. It doesn't matter where we say it doesn't matter."

"Ah, they chose this path themselves. If the boat capsizes, they still have to blame you, right?"

Sister Lou angrily took the wine bottle and poured half a glass for her father. Seeing Li Xuewu looking at her, she also filled a glass for Li Xuewu.

"What's the point of this? Didn't you also advise me before I came to you? If they don't listen, how can you tie them up with a rope?"

After saying that, he glared at Li Xuewu and said, "Drink less, you will have to drive home later."

"Um"

Li Xuewu was obedient. Sister Lou said she was not allowed to drink, so she drank the wine glass that had been filled with wine and then put it aside to indicate that she would not drink anymore.

At this moment, Father Lou drank a glass of wine and ate the food his daughter gave him. He nodded and said, "It's all fate. You can't force it."

"Is the whole family on board?"

Li Xuewu asked with his eyes raised, but when Father Lou nodded, he said nothing more.

I dare not say that the inland rivers are calm, so how can I say that the sea is safe?

I don't know where I hired Erduo Dao. I got a fishing boat and dared to go to sea. I brought so much wealth with me that it would be strange if the boat didn't capsize.

Even if the boat does not capsize, they will not survive. Who dares to go to the port city is an honest person.

The first thing Lou's father told Li Xuewu tonight was this. His old friend decided to move his family to Hong Kong City.

They didn't dare to walk on such a long railway line and couldn't carry anything, so they chose to start from Jinmen and go to the port city along the coastal sea.

If the journey is fast, it can be reached in less than a month. It is better to go to the port city than to be in panic all day long in the capital.

Li Xuewu listened, this man was also a brave man who really risked his whole family's lives to fight for wealth.

Survive, establish a foothold in the port city, and be prosperous and wealthy. If you can't survive, the whole family will go on the road together.

He may understand this situation clearly. If he is gone, the whole family will not be able to survive, and they may suffer.

The family is truly organized.

This first topic didn't go well, so he actually didn't drink much wine. It was just that Father Lou was a little emotional and sad, so he seemed to have drank more.

The three of them were a little silent, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food, Sister Lou explained: "It was also because of this incident that Uncle Ma and the others were a little panicked and came to my dad to mention the money."

"money?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, said nothing, picked up the dishes with chopsticks, but looked at Father Lou.

Father Lou took over the conversation and said: "I'm just a frightened bird. I want to transfer my property. Come to me to discuss how to eliminate the impact and protect yourself."

"hehe"

After saying this, Father Lou himself smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and said: "This is not a blind question, but it is also an overestimation of me."

Sister Lou looked at her father and said, "Uncle Ma and the others are not very sincere. You must not be soft-hearted about this matter. Just let them go."

After that, he explained to Li Xuewu: "My dad told them before that if the funds are convenient, they would like to add up the sum, but they are hiding it. They are afraid that my dad will trick them."

"We are still old friends~"

After talking to Li Xuewu, he yelled at his father again, and then continued to explain to Li Xuewu: "On the contrary, the former business partners, the Zhao family, the Qi family, the Jin family, and the Hu family, sat down to talk. After talking, we agreed."

Li Xuewu raised his head in understanding. He knew that Sister Lou was talking about the last fund-raising event.

The families who raised funds to build the bank did not have any old friends from the families where Sister Lou learned business from them.

These things were all handled by Lou's father. Li Xuewu did not come forward or ask Lou's father.

Listening to this today, it seems that Father Lou asked these people for their opinions before, but they did not agree.

If this matter is brought up again today, it's no wonder that Sister Lou wants to complain. Li Xuewu also understands Father Lou's concerns.

"You know this"

Father Lou ignored his daughter's words, but looked at Li Xuewu and said: "They are running around like headless flies now, and they still can't find their heads, but the situation has changed too fast."

Li Xuewu also nodded in understanding, but did not respond.

Lou's father knew what Li Xuewu meant and said: "The more money you have, the better. Stability is the most important thing. You can dance on the eggs, but you can't smash them."

"Can't be smashed"

Li Xuewu put down the chopsticks in his hand, thought for a while, and said: "We have to look at this matter again. If we don't have the determination to make a desperate move, we won't have the confidence to keep the clouds clear and see the moon. We can't rush this matter."

After finishing speaking, he gestured in the direction of Sister Lou and said: "Don't delay your studies. This matter has nothing to do with studies."

"Know"

Sister Lou pursed her lips, knowing that he cared about this and was afraid that she would not understand the business after going out.

Father Lou didn't get a reply from Li Xuewu. Knowing that he could only passively wait for them to come to the door, he couldn't even remind him because Li Xuewu wouldn't let anyone get on the boat.

Why did he mention the capsizing of the boat earlier? He just wanted to gain some sympathy from Li Xuewu.

He is not a benevolent woman, but he just feels that he can help within the scope of his ability.

Li Xuewu was more rational than he appeared. Although he didn't directly deny it at the table, he didn't give him face either.

This is not a matter of face. If you have more money, do things with more money. If you have less money, do things with less money.

This matter itself has a lot to do with trust. So much money was handed over to him, and then transferred to Hong Kong City, where the daughter of the Lou family was in charge.

Although the capital city can also make suggestions, after all, it is separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.

Regardless of whether you make money or not, can you really get the money back in the future?

This matter is one-way. Father Lou only talks to people he can identify. Even the Ma family only knows that he helps others manage the club.

As for the matter of funds, Father Lou talked about it vaguely, and everyone in the business field understands it.

When he was young, Lou's father was also a decisive person. There was no father or son in the business world, and many people were bankrupted by his competition.

Now that he is getting older, people around him are leaving and scattered, even half of his home is scattered.

Several old friends are in a similar situation to him. After the public-private partnership, they have been idle at home for more than ten years, and their fighting spirit has long been worn away.

As a half-buried person, the reason why he was willing to fight with Li Xuewu was due to the fact that he was unhappy with himself for the rest of his life.

At the end of the meal, Lou's father basically stopped talking, and let Sister Lou introduce the situation of these families to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu just listened and didn't speak. In the end, Sister Lou turned the topic to the club and didn't say much on this topic.

For these people, Li Xuewu would rather not give up the money than let them ruin his own affairs.

Even if these people have friendship with Lou's father, Li Xuewu and Lou's father have already made an agreement regarding Hong Kong City matters, and he is the one in charge.

After the meal, Li Xuewu and Sister Lou sent Lou's father to the car and left, and then drove Sister Lou home.

They just arrived at the entrance of the alley, but Sister Lou didn't let him stay any longer because he was drunk and told Li Xuewu to drive slower.

Li Xuewu watched Sister Lou enter the hospital, turn on the lights in the room, and then drive away.

Because I didn’t drink much and talked about things quickly, it was only nine o’clock when I got home.

Li Xuewu parked the car, entered the courtyard through the garage door, signaled to Qin Jingru who was standing in the foyer, and walked into the house.

Every time he came back late, Qin Jingru was waiting to open the door.

As if to guard against thieves, I turned on the light in the foyer, held the door with my hand, and stood at the door looking out.

Li Xuewu told her once that if something happens, just turn on the lights and come out when you need to see, so you don't have to worry about safety issues.

This girl seems to be born timid and afraid of the dark. Even Li Xuewu's words have no effect.

The stick standing at the door should be Qin Jingru's last strength. Li Xuewu was also afraid that when he came back and said nothing, he would ask her to give him a stick.

Therefore, every time I came out of the garage or came in through the door, I would cough or say hello to her standing at the door.

Don't tell me, if you really enter the house without saying anything, this furry rabbit will really dare to give you a break.

"Have you eaten?"

Qin Jingru put her hands behind her back, put the stick in her hand on the wall, and said to Li Xuewu: "If you don't eat, I will heat the food for you."

"Don't bother, I've eaten."

Li Xuewu changed his shoes, pulled his slippers and took a look into the old lady's room. He saw that his daughter and the old lady were both asleep, so he didn't go in to disturb them.

Qin Jingru was waiting for Li Xuewu to go upstairs so he could turn off the lights and go back to the house, but she saw Li Xuewu turn around and look at her.

"Tomorrow is Saturday"

"ah?"

Qin Jingru was a little stunned, it was Saturday, what happened?

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at this confused person, and asked, "Why don't you go back with us?"

"Uh... should I follow you?"

The muscles on Qin Jingru's face moved, and her words seemed to indicate that she was not willing to go back.

Li Xuewu tilted his head and said, "But it's been two weeks, and your sister asked me last week if I sold you."

"That can't be done~"

Qin Jingru smiled brightly, waved her hand and said, "You are not that person..."

She said this as a joke, but Li Xuewu didn't smile at all and looked at herself with squinted eyes.

"It's the end of the month, let's go back and take a look."

Li Xuewu glanced at Qin Jingru, opened his handbag, took out three five-yuan bills and handed them to Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru stared at Li Xuewu with confusion in her eyes.

Why do you give so much? Isn’t the pocket money given only a few cents?

"salary"

"oh oh!"

Qin Jingru saw Li Xuewu staring impatiently, and then she realized that she was still getting paid for working here.

He hurriedly reached out and took the money handed over by Li Xuewu, smiling a little sheepishly.

This is the money she earned through her own efforts!

Look!

Five yuan ticket!

Her family rarely came into contact with banknotes of this denomination, and this was also the first time she had her own money.

Li Xuewu looked at the delighted Qin Jingru, took another dollar from his bag and handed it over and said, "Remember to hold the chicken tomorrow."

"You don't need to give it to me, I gave it to BangGeng."

When Qin Jingru saw Li Xuewu giving her money again, she waved her hand and said, "It's not right for me to want two."

Li Xuewu glanced at her, put the money in her hand, and said, "You gave it to him, but he also raised the chicken this month."

After speaking, he gestured to the dollar in her hand and said, "Go buy something for your sister's house during the day tomorrow, whether it's candy or food. Anyway, don't take it for free."

"I...I also have money myself."

Qin Jingru gestured to the money Li Xuewu gave her just now and said, "I will use my own money to buy gifts."

Li Xuewu did not argue with her about this. Seeing that she talked about his money, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget to return the share to your sister and the share that your sister lent to your father."

Qin Jingru's joy at receiving her first salary was gone. As soon as the money came into her hands, it was about to become someone else's before she even warmed it up.

She also knew that when her father and her brother came to see her, her sister took money and gave it to her father.

She knew best what life was like at her sister's house. She took her in and helped her stay in the city, but she caused trouble in the city again.

Qin Jingru knew that she owed her cousin, her father owed it, and their family owed it, and it was her responsibility to repay it.

Li Xuewu looked at her disappointed expression, tapped the money in her hand, and said: "If you want to live a relaxed and comfortable life, you should really put down your burdens and move forward without owing anyone."

"I……"

Qin Jingru was about to raise her head and say something, but she saw Li Xuewu walking upstairs.

These ten dollars were nothing to Li Xuewu. Qin Jingru knew that both Li Xuewu and Gu Ning made money.

But she had never coveted the money. Even when she was cleaning up, she knew that Gu Ning used to put money in the desk drawer, but she never touched it.

Qin Jingru knew that it was not that Gu Ning was testing her, but that Gu Ning was not guarding against herself at all.

Li Xuewu didn't either. He arranged to make some delicious food, and he didn't say anything about avoiding her.

Whatever food is on the table, everyone eats it together, without giving in or refusing.

Especially before going out every Saturday, Li Xuewu would give her pocket money. Today's salary was paid, but this money was not included in it.

Qin Jingru was afraid of Li Xuewu, but at this moment, when Li Xuewu said these words to her, she respected Li Xuewu.

After living for so many years, tonight was the first time she received a salary, and it was also the first time she felt responsibility and burden.

Without responsibility and burden, there will be no growth, let alone ideals and future.

Qin Jingru, standing in the living room, was sober and excited as she had never been before. At this moment, she felt that she had grown up a lot.

Today she suddenly felt that she was integrating into this family and that she was being cared for and noticed.

Although Li Xuewu still looked scary, he never scolded her, severely reprimanded her, and never treated her badly.

Just like what my sister said back then, if she wanted to stay in the city but didn't want to get married, the only person she could ask for was Li Xuewu.

This person looks fierce, but he has the kindest heart. When dealing with him, don't be naughty or talk nonsense.

Unknowingly, it has been a month since I came here. Qin Jingru looked at the moonlight outside the window and felt that time passed so fast, but it was fulfilling.

——

On the second floor, Li Xuewu quietly entered the small living room, but found that the light in the study was still on.

I thought Gu Ning was inside, but found that only the lights were on and no one was there.

Just like last time, in order to wait for myself and fear of getting dark, I turned on the light in the study.

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and nodded. He glanced at the dark master bedroom. Gu Ning seemed to be sleeping on the bed.

When he turned to look at the bookshelf, he found that both boxes were gone, which made him feel funny.

There is a child who can’t afford to play~

Li Xuewu smiled evilly and put down his handbag, took off his clothes in the small living room, turned off the light in the study, and tiptoed into the master bedroom.

Glancing at Gu Ning on the bed, Li Xuewu got on the bed in the dark, listened carefully to Gu Ning's breathing, and rushed over with a smirk.

"Yeah! Uh~"

"Hey, you're still pretending to sleep with me~"

Li Xuewu smiled evilly and hugged Gu Ning, looking into Gu Ning's black eyes in the dark night.

Gu Ning pursed her lips and stared at him without speaking, but she held the quilt tightly in her hands to prevent Li Xuewu from making a move.

How could Li Xuewu let her get what she wanted? He smiled and walked up to her, looked down at Gu Ning and asked, "Did you learn badly?"

"you"

Gu Ning stared at Li Xuewu and said, "You're the one who learned the lesson badly."

"pull!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do I still need to learn?"

"You!~"

Gu Ning pushed Li Xuewu hard and said angrily: "You bully me!"

"This is unjust"

Li Xuewu stopped what he was doing, looked at Gu Ning and asked, "Tell me, how did I bully you?"

"You're just bullying me."

Because it was in the dark and in the bedroom, Gu Ning seemed to have the courage to resist.

She heard Li Xuewu's car enter the street, quickly put down her books, ran to the bed and lay down.

But he never expected that Li Xuewu would eavesdrop on her breathing rate. Isn't this a prank?

"I want to tell mom"

Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu and said, "You said you bullied me."

"Okay, is my mother-in-law here?"

Li Xuewu grabbed Gu Ning's hand away, hugged her, and turned over to lie on the bed.

This time it was Gu Ning at the top and Li Xuewu at the bottom.

Gu Ning knew that she couldn't resist, so she gave up resistance, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I'm talking about the mother-in-law."

After emphasizing this, he thought of something else, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Mom called and said that dad saw the letter we wrote and Li Shu's painting."

"oh?"

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning in surprise and asked, "Does our dad still have this artistic talent? Can he still understand our daughter's paintings?"

"Hmph~"

Gu Ning snorted, then said with a smile: "Dad said the painting was very good and beautiful, so he asked the secretary to find a frame for it and put it on the desk."

"Hey, then our dad still knows art."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "I've seen it a long time ago. Our daughter definitely has Picasso's talent, and she will definitely be a representative of abstraction in the future."

Gu Ning wrinkled her nose at Li Xuewu and said, "You can't imitate that lunatic. Painters are not as good as doctors. They treat the dead and heal the wounded..."

"Stop!~"

When Li Xuewu heard that his wife actually wanted Li Shu to study medicine, he couldn't help but stop it and said: "As for the doctor, I still don't recommend that our daughter learn to save lives and heal the wounded... Is it possible that these are all things she has caused to others..."

Gu Ning also remembered the way Li Shu liked to shout "hit" when she threw things, and couldn't help but laugh and hit Li Xuewu.

"She is still young, she will grow up."

"You were like this when you were little, why don't you get even more ruthless when you get older?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at his wife, and said, "How about we let her study orthopedics? I heard that your orthopedics department is all about chisels, axes, saws, and sledgehammers."

"No~"

When Gu Ning heard what Li Xuewu said was so cruel, he couldn't help but explain to the orthopedic surgeon: "Where is the sledgehammer!"

"That's a small hammer! And an adze, chisel, ax and saw!"
