Men and women eating in the courtyard

Li Xue pursed her lips and smiled. After exiting the Huaqing school gate, she said, "Forget it if you identify someone with the surname Li. If your mother knows that you recognize someone with the surname Liu again, she will get angry with you."

"Hehehe, if I find an older brother or younger brother for my mother, grandpa will have to beat me up."

Li Xuewu also laughed along with his sister's words.

Li Xue laughed for a while, looked at the road ahead, and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"hey-hey"

Li Xuewu turned to his sister and smiled, saying: "We have two distant uncles, one is named Li, and the other guess what? His surname is also Li!"

"Hahahahaha~"

…

At Li Zhengfeng's house, Li Xuewu thanked the old lady for the tea she brought him. He glanced at Li Zhengfeng with a smile and asked, "Didn't you go out for a walk? When I came here, I saw someone playing a chess game in the courtyard."

"Hey, your uncle is not good at that"

The old aunt was a relatively kind person, looking at Li Xuewu and his sister with a curious look.

This is the first time she has met this young man. This is the first time he has come to visit him and he has brought his sister with him. It must be because something is wrong.

But after sitting for a while, I saw Li Xuewu chatting with his lover, while his sister sat quietly and listened, and then I realized that this was not the case.

Li Xuewu and Li Zhengfeng only chatted a few words, and then Li Zhengfeng took the initiative to bring up the topic to the project he was researching.

Of course, this was at home, but confidentiality was required.

After asking his lover to prepare fruits for Li Xue, Li Zhengfeng took Li Xuewu to the study.

Li Zhengfeng also lived in a small courtyard. The west room of the main house was converted into a study, which is quite spacious.

But the spacious room was tightly blocked by layers of bookshelves. Li Xuewu moved the books by himself before finding a place to sit.

"Your aunt made a three-chapter agreement with me. The last chapter is that the things in this study can only be confined to this room. You can't go out even half a step, otherwise you will be killed wherever you see it."

Li Zhengfeng wore glasses, and when he saw Li Xuewu's disgusted look, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I'm not the leader at home, your aunt is."

"it's the same"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "My status in the family is not as good as yours. I have to listen to whatever my wife says, and I cannot go east or west."

Li Zhengfeng looked at Li Xuewu, sighed deeply, and expressed his sympathy for Li Xuewu who suffered such a hardship at a young age.

But as the saying goes, happiness only comes from contrast. After hearing Li Xuewu's "suffering", he now looks at the books stacked in the room and feels much better.

"There is no doubt that the material is an alloy. We already know what the specific alloy material is."

Li Zhengfeng sat behind his desk and explained to Li Xuewu: "The specific ratio still requires experimentation. This is very time-consuming. After all, we have no research and development data."

Li Xuewu nodded understandingly and said: "I understand this. If you need help from materials science personnel, our steel rolling mill has a steelmaking plant in Steel City and is currently preparing to build an alloy material smelting process. It may be helpful to your work. ".

"Well, this is really good news."

Li Zhengfeng nodded at Li Xuewu, and then continued: "In fact, it doesn't matter even if the relevant materials cannot be researched. We can use the materials we already have to conduct production tests and determine the process first."

"Can I directly customize the production process?"

Li Xuewu really doesn’t know much about machinery. From design drawings to process design, to the setting of processing technology, there is a lot of knowledge involved. It requires a complete set of process systems to support it. It’s not just that you want to be a hammer. Just hit it with a piece of iron.

He can't help much with this kind of thing. He can only ask superficial questions, just ask if it can be produced, or when it can be produced, what equipment support is needed, etc.

"Don't rush, take it step by step"

Li Zhengfeng touched the beard on his lips and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Your factory is just a steel factory. The basic industrial conditions are still very good, but finalization and customized production are two different things."

At this point, Li Zhengfeng also scratched his head and said: "It's no problem if you ask me to rub a gun like this for you by hand. One month, two months, as long as the materials are enough, it's absolutely no problem."

"But this is engraving. It needs to be produced in batches and has production standards and processing requirements. You have to give me time."

Li Zhengfeng finally took out a report and handed it to Li Xuewu and said: "The third research institute is also studying this, and it is supported by the higher-ups, but it is also a hazy study. There is still something about this gun."

Li Xuewu took the report and put it down after taking a look at it. It was not that he couldn't read the words, but that he couldn't understand the content inside. It was completely different from administrative documents.

"There is no trouble in the light industry?"

Li Xuewu raised his hand to signal and explained: "It's just that there are some stress behaviors during the big study and discussion. Will it affect this kind of research?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you."

Li Zhengfeng frowned and tapped the table gently, and said: "There are still quite a lot of young people in our institute, and they are all intellectuals. Carrying out large-scale studies and large-scale discussions is not that intense, but there are also some unstable factors." .

"It must have had an impact, at least it took up a lot of my working time."

The Light Industry Institute is affiliated to the General Logistics Department, and the situation here is not bad. It is also outside the city, and the environment in the courtyard is relatively closed. It is only from the study of documents that there is a certain instability.

Li Xuewu nodded and asked: "Can it be solved? If it doesn't work out, I'll find a place for you with the steel mill. We can send people there to conduct research. It's convenient."

The word "convenience" at the end of his words means that the place he can arrange must be safe and not troubled and affected by so many things.

Li Zhengfeng frowned and nodded, saying: "I have thought about this matter, but I still have to treat it with caution and see how things develop."

Li Xuewu's questions still tended to focus on the Light Industry Institute, and he also wanted to confirm with him the strength of his control over this matter and whether he could suppress the Light Industry Institute's problems.

When it comes to self-confidence, he dare not say so. Many units are in chaos now, but he is still trying to hold on. If he wants to stabilize, he has to look above and look at the situation around him.

"In my opinion, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Li Zhengfeng thought for a while and said: "After all, many research projects are being pushed, and there is no intention of sending a team to the institute. Let's wait a little longer."

After saying wait, he glanced at Li Xuewu again and said, "But you still have to prepare what you should prepare. Is there no problem in Steel City?"

“Don’t worry about this”

Li Xuewu nodded and said confidently: "I can ensure the safety and working environment of all researchers in Steel City."

"Ah That's good"

Li Zhengfeng nodded. Someone helped resolve his worries. He felt relieved and talked to Li Xuewu about the problems of this project.

Li Xue sat in the living room for a long time and was asked many questions by this new old aunt, and she answered selectively.

On the way here, the second brother said that this is the home of an engineer from the Small Arms Industry Research Institute. I don’t know why the people the second brother has friends with are so... diverse?

This description seems inappropriate, but today I followed the second brother around, and there was no one related to the second brother's business, nor anyone related to the steel rolling mill business.

When a girl comes to someone else's house as a guest, she always feels a little embarrassed and reserved, especially when the host or the much older aunt asks personal questions.

When Li Xuewu came out of the study, Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief, glad that his second brother finally came out.

Li Xuewu also saw the meaning in his sister's eyes. He smiled and said goodbye to Li Zhengfeng and his aunt, and took his sister out politely.

After watching the brother and sister leave, Li Zhengfeng's lover asked if he had anything to ask of him.

Li Zhengfeng knew that his wife was worried about him, so he waved his hand and said: "He is a very nice person about work matters. There is no problem. Don't think about it."

"I'm not imagining it, but he..."

Li Zhengfeng's lover hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Does he have any ideas when he brings a girl here? The third child is..."

"Pull it down quickly!"

Li Zhengfeng smiled and waved his hand and said: "That girl looks big, but she is actually only sixteen. She has just graduated from high school and works with Li Xuewu in the steel rolling mill. Today is the holiday and he is taking his sister out to practice. ".

This was what Li Xuewu said to him in the study just now, as an explanation for the visit he brought his sister to today.

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you bring a girl with you. Just recognize the door and call me uncle, so you won't think too much."

"Is this just nonsense~"

Li Zhengfeng's lover smiled and said: "I think that girl is really nice. She is quiet, sensible, and speaks generously and decently. It seems that she has a tutor. The key is that her education is not low."

"You would think so"

Li Zhengfeng also smiled and said: "In four years, who knows what will happen. Young people, whoever is sure, don't be a good match."

"Hey! Tell me, what's going on with his family?"

His lover was not willing to give up. It was obvious that he really fell in love with Li Xue. Regardless of Li Zhengfeng's explanation, he followed up and inquired about Li Xuewu's family background.

"What's going on? Hmm~"

Li Zhengfeng scratched his head and said, "His father is a Chinese medicine doctor..."

——

The time in the morning was limited, so Li Xuewu took Li Xue around in a big circle, visiting every house, and letting Li Xue see his second brother's network.

I went to the home of the Deputy Director and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Work Safety, and also to the home of the Director of the Sports Committee. It was dizzying.

The dazzling thing was not about how luxurious the home was, nor about the large number of people, but because of the many people she saw and talked to today, which made her feel powerless and exhausted.

When Li Xuewu and his sister came out of Liu Zheng's house at noon, Li Xue went on strike, saying that he didn't want to go around anymore and was hungry.

Li Xuewu looked at his sister with a smile, took her back, and said while driving: "I will take you to eat well today."

"Are you going to a restaurant?"

Li Xue turned her head, looked at her second brother hopefully and asked, "Which restaurant are we going to eat at?"

"The first sentence is wrong, the last sentence is right."

Li Xuewu nodded to the girl and said with a smile: "We have no chance to go out to the restaurant today, let's go to the godmother's house to eat."

"Is it Director Wang of the Street?"

Li Xue knew who the second brother's godmother was. Now the second brother called her godmother, but she didn't call her godmother.

Because from the beginning, only Li Xuewu recognized him as his godmother. It was only later that Director Wang came to visit the house and moved around more frequently that the title was decided.

In the past, their relationship had been very good because their father had helped their family, but it was only a relationship between adults and did not extend to the next generation.

Only the second brother was naughty when he was young and had more contact with Director Wang. After he came back, he somehow recognized his godmother.

When Li Xuewu saw his sister asking this question, he smiled and said, "If she asks you to call her godmother later, will you call her godmother?"

"I!……"

Li Xuegang wanted to answer, but he only said one word and then stopped.

Because Director Wang's family has always had a good relationship with his own family, Director Wang naturally takes care of children like them.

Usually it is natural to call me aunt, but now I am following my second brother. If the other party asks, how should I refuse and how should I deal with it?

Li Xuewu saw that his sister was in trouble, but he had no intention of giving any advice. It was up to Li Xue to think on his own.

When the car arrived at the door of Director Wang's house, Li Xuewu took the gift from the back seat of the car and took the girl directly into the hospital.

"It's finally here. I've been waiting for a long time."

Wang Shuhua came out of the kitchen and yelled at Li Xuewu. Then she saw Li Xue following behind, so she greeted with a smile: "Li Xue is here, come in quickly, wash your hands and let's eat."

After greeting Li Xue, Wang Shuhua said to Li Xuewu: "You didn't come when you were waiting on the left, and you didn't come when I waited on the right. I thought you were eating at someone else's house. You must be hungry for Li Xue."

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and saw that it was already twelve o'clock.

"I went to a few more places today to get her acquainted. It was also an experience."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile, washed his hands in the washbasin at the door, and was about to go to the kitchen to help, but Wang Shuhua blocked him and motioned for him to go inside.

While they were still talking, Zheng Xicai walked out of the room and greeted Li Xuewu with a smile.

Li Xuewu also called eldest brother with a smile, and Li Xue also called him.

Zheng Xicai is still the same, but her belly is bigger and her attitude is better. She is not as stingy as when they last met.

After passing the cigarettes to Li Xuewu, the two of them lit each other's cigarettes at the door, and then walked into the house.

Li Xue came here rarely and rarely had contact with the children of the Zheng family. Li Xuewu asked him to call him eldest brother, so she followed suit.

But when she saw Zheng Shusen after entering the house, she still knew him and took the initiative to call him Uncle Zheng.

Zheng Shusen smiled and nodded, asked Li Xue to come to the table, and started the meal.

After speaking to Li Xue, she smiled at Li Xuewu and asked, "Did your mother scold you? Who told you to be late? What time did you say on the phone?"

"Haha~ I pressed the accelerator almost into the gas tank."

Li Xuewu smiled and toasted his godfather with a cigarette, and explained with a smile: "I was delayed for a while at Engineer Li's house of the Light Industry Institute, which was a waste of time."

"I've been clearing the runway all morning~"

Wang Shuhua walked in from the door carrying dishes. When she heard Li Xuewu's words, she was angry and said, "Why are you so busy?"

"I'm envious of the many connections I have with learning martial arts."

Zheng Xicai glanced at Li Xuewu with a smile and asked, "What does it have to do with the departure? It seems that I have left a lot in this morning."

"Haha, relatives and elders"

Li Xuewu smiled and responded casually, taking the wine bottle on the table and pouring a glass of wine for his godfather.

Zheng Shusen smiled and let Li Xuewu pour the wine. As Li Xuewu poured the wine for Zheng Xicai, Li Xue saw the sharp and terrifying eyes of Uncle Zheng looking at his son.

Zheng Xicai noticed it, otherwise he wouldn't have smiled so awkwardly when Li Xuewu poured the wine.

He didn't know what was wrong. Every time he came back, he would find that his father and mother's attitude towards him had changed.

I don’t know if hope has increased or satisfaction has decreased.

"Brother must be very social at work~"

Li Xuewu poured the wine for Zheng Xicai and then poured half a cup into the wine glass on the godmother's seat. He said with a smile: "Actually, I hope I have the social skills of my eldest brother."

After pouring the wine, he put the bottle on his left hand, smiled at his godfather and said: "I shopped for food when I was a kid, and I didn't think about what I would do when I grew up. Now when I go out to meet people, I just imitate it, but It was also a disappointment."

Zheng Shusen nodded and said nothing, which was regarded as recognition of Li Xuewu's words. He did not look at Zheng Xicai anymore, but lightly patted Li Xuewu's shoulder.

Zheng Xicai is Zheng Shusen's son, his only son. How can any father not want his son to do well?

Even if his son does something wrong and loses face, he is still his son.

Of course Li Xuewu couldn't tell the difference between far and near. If he couldn't tell the difference between the host and the guest, why would he come out to do anything?

This sentence completed his answer to Zheng Xicai's question just now, and also saved Zheng Shusen's face, which brought the atmosphere back.

If Zheng Xicai is embarrassed, that means Zheng Shusen is embarrassed. It has nothing to do with him wherever Zheng Xicai is embarrassed. Even if he can't do it when he is his guest, it will make the relationship between Zheng Shusen and himself awkward.

As a person, you have to think carefully. It seems that Zheng Xicai, who is almost thirty years old, is still so naive. I am afraid that he will just keep spinning in this position, and his progress will be harmed.

Both father and son are cadres in the capital, so Zheng Xicai still envies his relationship?

If Li Xuewu had such a father, he wouldn't go out to maintain relationships. He has his father.

Besides, you are the one who attracts the attention. Both father and son are cadres in the family. Naturally, the father is in charge of the relationship, and he will naturally make arrangements for you when the time comes to take over.

If Zheng Xicai was really as social as Li Xuewu, people would inevitably say that Zheng Shusen had "high ambitions".

Zheng Shusen also saw the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, so he patted Li Xuewu this time.

He was also helpless as he was also a young man. Why couldn't his son understand this truth?

Monday is the Dragon Boat Festival. Because she has to go to work, Zheng Xicai rushed home on Sunday to see her parents.

But he came back alone, saying that his wife had returned to her parents' house with her children.

Zheng Shusen wanted to talk about his son, but his son was getting older and was no longer willing to listen to his preaching, so now he could not talk about it to avoid straining the relationship between father and son.

But even if he doesn't talk about it now, his son still has other opinions about himself. He always feels that he is suppressing him and blocking his progress.

Therefore, Zheng Shusen has spent these years thanking guests behind closed doors and rarely going out to meet guests and friends, just to make room for his son.

But the more he behaves like this, the more stable his position becomes, making progress from time to time, and slowly reaching where he is today.

Turning back to his son, he has been focusing on building relationships since he started working. He will see this today and that tomorrow. He often takes his wife to attend youth dances in order to help him make progress.

I don't know if it's because he didn't work hard, but he is still going around in circles after so many years. He has never figured out why, but he is jealous of Li Xuewu.

It wasn't that Zheng Shusen was feeling evil and preferred his godson to his biological son. How could this be possible? He wished that all the advantages of Li Xuewu could be given to his son.

But this was even more impossible. He had witnessed Li Xuewu's growth and transformation with his own eyes. Li Xuewu's road to success was even more difficult than his son's.

It's good now. Those who were taught around me since childhood have become frogs in the well, and those who have been rolled in the mud have become pillars.

After Wang Shuhua was served, Zheng Shusen took the initiative to touch Li Xuewu's cup with his cup. Today's good mood went into his stomach with a glass of wine.

Li Xuewu took the wine glass and glanced at Zheng Shusen. He touched it with Zheng Xicai who was awkwardly raising the glass to clink it with his father. He raised the glass with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Shuhua seemed to have noticed something. When she went to serve the food just now, Xu's son had made her lover unhappy again.

But she didn't say anything about her son. With Li Xuewu here, she just talked to Li Xue.

The main topic was about Li Xue's work. Wang Shuhua asked, Li Xue answered, and Li Xuewu was asked a question from time to time. Everyone chatted and laughed while having lunch.

Zheng Shusen is willing to drink with Li Xuewu, not only because Li Xuewu's wine is good and he will not get drunk after a thousand drinks, but also because Li Xuewu can chat and speak, and they have a common language with him.

After the meal, the two of them went to sit down at the small stone table at the door. Wang Shuhua brewed a pot of tea and handed it to her son Zheng Xicai, winking at him.

Zheng Xicai smiled awkwardly and was hit by her mother. Then she took the teapot and teacup to her father's side.

Wang Shuhua glanced at her son's back, shook her head helplessly, turned around and cleared the table.

Li Xue did not sit down, but stretched out her hand to help. Wang Shuhua praised her very much, and she thought Li Xue was good no matter what.

The old lady of the Li family knows that, but when it comes to personal matters, she will never make any mistakes, let alone suffer any losses.

The children he teaches are also very good. They can be naughty and unpredictable like Li Xuewu, but their conduct is all right.

The two of them cleaned up quickly. Wang Shuhua expressed concern for Li Xue and told her not to be afraid if something happened. She could use the relationship here to find her second brother or come directly to her.

Li Xue agreed with a smile, both politely and seriously.

On the way, her second brother teased her about how she would react if Aunt Wang really asked her to call her godmother, but now she felt a big stone fall in her heart.

From the moment she entered the hospital, Aunt Wang always called her Li Xue. She was close to her, but she didn't mean to follow the relationship between Li Xuewu and acknowledge her as a relative.

This made Li Xue feel a lot more relaxed, but she also thought in her heart that Director Wang valued his second brother more, which could be seen from Uncle Zheng's behavior during the dinner.

Now that he could have lunch, Uncle Zheng took his second brother to talk again without paying any attention to his son. This also made Li Xue feel that Uncle Zheng was still a very upright person.

Drinking tea at noon is also to relieve fatigue. According to Li Xuewu, on such a hot day, why not just take a nap.

Zheng Shusen had not had the habit of napping for many years, so he just pointed to a pot of tea to relieve his fatigue.

Seeing his son sitting down with the tea, he didn't say anything and continued to talk about the current situation with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu said little and listened to what he said. He only told Zheng Shusen the news he heard from time to time as a supplement.

Zheng Shusen was also a little confused, otherwise he wouldn't have talked with Li Xuewu outside.

Starting from the recent changes in the city, we have been talking about the changes in the district, especially the changes in the cadre team. He is the only one who is still firmly sitting in that position, which makes him feel like he is not feeling the cold at the top.

Talking about work last week, Zheng Shusen intentionally moved down to the second line to make way for young people and people transferred from above.

But neither the district nor the city agreed to his request, and even asked someone to give him a message, asking him to do it well and do it safely.

This makes Zheng Shusen very worried. Being in this position for one day means that he is in danger of falling down one day.

He is not a dawdle. In this position, he has to do the things in this position. Not to mention the hard work, the pressure of the environment is also great. I can't blame Wang Shuhua for not stopping him from drinking today.

Li Xuewu didn't know how to persuade Zheng Shusen. Now it was Zheng Shusen who wanted to move to someone else's position, but they wouldn't let him go. How could he persuade Zheng Shusen to take the initiative to climb up the ladder?

Sometimes life is like this, you can't get what you want, and you can't get what you want.

If Li Xuewu hadn't known what the general environment was like, he would have thought that Zheng Shusen was in Versailles with him.

But the current situation is like this. It seems to be very good, but in fact Zheng Shusen's situation is also very delicate.

It would be an understatement to say that I was walking on thin ice and was terrified.

The conversation between the two people did not last long. Zheng Shusen still drank a little too much, and finally Wang Shuhua and his son helped him into the house.

Li Xuewu and Zheng Xicai took another cigarette before saying goodbye and leading Li Xue, who was a little sleepy, to a refreshing place.

"Second brother"

Li Xue sat in the car, looked at her second brother's profile and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Um?"

Li Xuewu glanced at his sister, smiled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I just think you are tired."

Li Xue pursed her lips, and then said, "You have to go through so many relationships even on Sundays, and also on holidays."

Li Xuewu nodded, indicating that he understood what his sister meant. After Li Xue finished speaking, he said with a wry smile: "In the adult world, there is no such thing as tiredness or not. You have to keep all the hardships and hardships in your heart. Because it’s the only thing you can keep for yourself.”

After saying this, Li Xuewu glanced at Li Xue again and asked: "Tired? Do you think the relationship is troublesome?"

Li Xue wanted to shake her head, but when she thought of her second brother next to her, she nodded and agreed with his second brother's statement.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's not like I have to maintain so many relationships every day. Besides, there are others who help me. It's just proper communication."

After that, he explained: "I have brought you here to meet so many people today to let you know their identities and to let you know my relationship with them. I am not asking you to ask them for anything."

Li Xue turned to look at her second brother and tilted her head in confusion. The wind blowing disturbed her hair and confused her cognition.

Could it be that she has joined the work and the second brother introduced his relationship to her in order to take care of her and train her?

Not this, what is that?

Li Xuewu waited for his sister to think for a while and then explained: "It's confidence!"

"confidence?"

"Yes, it's confidence."

Li Xuewu held the steering wheel and explained: "You and I are brother and sister. What our family can bring us is rich enough and enough for us to confidently embark on the path of life, just like when I went to work in the steel rolling mill."

"And now you have more convenient conditions than me. I let you see them today just to let you know that even children from a family like ours can gain their respect and be able to communicate with them better." "Sitting on an equal footing"

"even"

Li Xuewu said firmly: "We can do better than their children and have more potential."

"I have thousands of strengths and thousands of relationships, but these are all mine and can be used by you, but they will never be yours. You also need to establish your own relationships and have your own views on the world, work, and Life, perception of value”.

Li Xuewu is like a swallow, teaching his brothers who are still in the nest and dare not try flying, chattering about his life experience.

Li Xue also listened to her second brother's words carefully, thinking in her heart that she had already embarked on this path and must be prepared to face difficulties on the road.

The path that the second brother takes is his own path after all. If he doesn't say whether it suits him or not, he won't be able to come up with any new tricks.

Li Xue is arrogant. Although she is a girl, she is not much worse than her brothers.

Now I am encouraged by my second brother, and I have the courage to live a positive life. I secretly encourage myself in my heart to make my own way in life.

Li Xuewu could do many things for his sister, including giving her a big house, a car, and food and clothing, but he could not give her spiritual wealth or a complete life.

So just like teaching her to learn to ride a bicycle when she was a child, I can support her from behind and let her try to pedal.

But when she can really kick on her own, Li Xuewu will definitely let go.

Even though his sister assured him over and over again not to let go, he promised, but he would not show mercy.

Even if you watch your sister fall, get scratched or injured, you must let her learn to walk on her own.

No matter how close the brother is, he and his younger brother and sister will eventually become two families and two worlds.

Now Li Xuewen feels like he and his brother are in two different worlds.

When he saw his second brother bringing his little sister to see him, he couldn't help but be startled, and then he laughed.

Li Xue smiled with her eldest brother, and then entered her dormitory to take a look.

Li Xuewu stood at the door, looking at his eldest brother's beard, and couldn't help but laugh: "You don't really want to grow a beard like Mr. Lu Xun, do you?"

This was a joke when the two brothers were in school. The classmates at that time all admired Mr. Lu Xun in the textbooks. When they saw the Mr. Lu Xun in the illustrations, the eldest brother Xuewen wanted to grow a beard like this, saying that he wanted to be like Mr. Lu.

Li Xuewu was very smart, so he took the ash from the pot bottom and immediately changed his makeup. When his mother came back, he saw the two brothers' faces were as black as Zhong Kui's, and each of them gave him a slap in the face.

Li Xuewen touched his beard, smiled and said, "Don't worry about being a role model. I'm too lazy to shave. It's a waste of time."

Li Xuewu curled his lips, looked at the pile of radio parts piled in his elder brother's room and asked, "Isn't this a waste of time?"

"this?"

Li Xuewen glanced at the room, then looked at his brother and sighed. After thinking about it, he said: "No, people have to live after all. Where can I get books without money?"

"Haha~ I just don't want to practice anyway, right?"

Li Xuewu smiled softly and glanced at the other side of the office. Huang Qian had just welcomed him in, but now he had returned upstairs.

Li Xuewen shrugged his shoulders. He had nothing to hide from his second brother. If he didn't want to repair it, he just didn't want to repair it. Now he was repairing these radios and TVs just to make money.

The old man was so bad that he asked him to bring books to him. He resisted and said in a huff that the more he cultivated, the more books he would have.

He is kind and righteous. As long as the electrical appliances are repaired, he will pay for the books.

Li Xuewen almost imitated Confucius and asked him to use physics to convince people, letting him know the effect of books and martial arts.

Later, considering that this was an insult to politeness, he let the old scoundrel go.

He wasn't at home to take care of his family, and now he's here again. His salary is not guaranteed now. What kind of person would he be if he asked his wife for money to buy books while waiting to die.

So now, even if he has no choice, he has to take time to work for Lao Biaozi.

Teacher Wu also received the same treatment as him.

Lao Biaozi was very polite and did not use threatening words. He only said that if he asked Teacher Wu for help, he would be paid.

After all, since he came back from abroad, it was easy to accept this kind of thinking. After negotiating the price with Lao Biaozi, he started to rely on his own efforts.

Teacher Wu was more diligent than her eldest brother in studying literature, and the money given by Lao Biaozi was very affordable, and soon she had money in her hands.

But here, money is useless, and there is no supply and marketing cooperative here, so she has to ask Lao Biaozi to help her buy nutritional supplements and things for her own use.

Zhao Yafang packed the school luggage last time, but it was already messed up by the students. She lost many of her things and had to buy new ones.

The money earned now can not only satisfy her nutrition, but also buy things she uses.

The fear and uneasiness I felt when I first came here became less and less as time went by, and I got used to it.

Except for being unable to communicate and contact her husband, everything is going well in her life here.

She was also reading in the room and heard voices outside the window. When she came out, she found Li Xuewu standing at the door of Teacher Li's room.

"Professor Wu"

"Hello, Director Li"

Wu Shufang smiled and said hello to Li Xuewu, and then said: "Last time I was in a hurry and I didn't say thank you to you. I am really grateful for your care here."

"Quickly stop this"

When Li Xuewu saw Wu Shufang bowing slightly, he gave her a little support and said politely: "You are my eldest brother's colleague. How can I ignore you and not save you? Benevolence and righteousness are not worth mentioning."

Wu Shufang bowed slightly and stopped being too polite to Li Xuewu. This was a life-saving grace, and just saying thank you seemed a bit hypocritical.

"Are you here to see Teacher Li?"

"Yes, I came with my sister."

Li Xuewu signaled to Li Xue and introduced to Wu Shufang: "The one you met last time is my sister Li Xue."

"Hello, Teacher Wu"

"Hello"

Wu Shufang smiled and asked, "Would you like to come sit in my room and drink a cup of hot tea?"

"Thank you, Teacher Wu, just say something."

Li Xue smiled, stood next to Wu Shufang, imitated the words of the aunts this morning, and expressed some concern for Wu Shufang and the child in her belly.

Li Xuewu also made an appointment with his eldest brother to take him and Teacher Wu home for dinner tomorrow night.

Teacher Wu originally wanted to refuse, but Li Xuewu said that her sister-in-law specially asked her to invite her to have a dinner together.

Wu Shufang was moved in her heart, knowing that it was not easy for her to come in, and it was even more difficult for her to get out. She endured the fluctuations in her heart, smiled with Li Xuewu, and agreed.

Fortunately, it was night, and fortunately we were family members, so we were not afraid of anything happening.

Huang Gan stood upstairs, watching Li Xuewu and the others still talking downstairs, and called out to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked up at him, said nothing, and just waved for him to come down.

Huang Qian didn't know why and walked downstairs again.

When I got here, I looked at Li Xuewen and Wu Shufang who were staying here. I thought they were not satisfied with this and what they said to Li Xuewu.

Before he could speak, Li Xuewu signaled to his eldest brother and Teacher Wu and said, "My eldest brother and Teacher Wu are bothering you here. They are causing you trouble."

When Huang Qian heard that something was wrong, why did he become polite? Could it be that these two people were really uncomfortable living here, or did someone say something?

When he looked at Li Xuewen and Wu Shufang, their expressions were also confused. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Li Xuewu.

Huang Gan just said that the dormitory of the two of them was in their duty dormitory, and they were all single rooms, which were warm in winter and cool in summer.

Eat, eat and sleep with them in the cafeteria. There are daily security training here. How can you be dissatisfied?

"what do you mean?"

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm not being polite to you."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I just want to say that my eldest brother and Teacher Wu still have to trouble you."

Neither Li Xuewen nor Wu Shufang knew what Li Xuewu was talking about. They looked at him blankly. They really wanted to wave their hands to Huang Gan to show that they didn't mean to say anything. They even wanted to point their fingers at Li Xuewu to show that he was the one who said it.

Huang Qian knew it was Li Xuewu who was up to something, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Why can't you speak properly? Why do you always make such sharp turns!"

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is a problem with your understanding, but there is no problem with my words."

After speaking, he pointed to the pile of broken radios and electronic accessories in the eldest brother's room, and raised his eyebrows at Huang Gan.

"What's wrong? You don't want it anymore? Do you want to take it away?"

Huang Qian didn't know what Li Xuewu meant. After guessing twice, he was about to attack Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Don't you understand the project? Do you understand the radio? The kind that can be listened to when connected to electricity."
