Men and women eating in the courtyard

When he heard that Li Xuewu said he hadn't eaten yet, Ran Qiuye wiped his tears and started working.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to it at first, until Ran Qiuye took out the foreign stuff.

Li Xuewu pointed to the ornaments on the table in astonishment, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is this?".

Ran Qiuye lowered her eyebrows and replied: "Candle~"

"..."

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and smiled silently, glanced at her and said, "I didn't know this was a candle?"

"Then what are you asking?"

Ran Qiuye still had a hint of complaint on her lips, so her words also sounded dissatisfied.

Li Xuewu never dared to offend the person who prepared food for him. He was afraid that the other party would add special condiments to the rice.

Only a narrow-minded person like him would think so, and Ran Qiuye didn't bother to answer him.

After setting up the candlestick, I brought two plates out from the kitchen, holding two sets of knives, forks and spoons in my hands.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't realize until he saw this. Why was he lighting a candle when the light above his head was working perfectly?

He thought he was going to play some exciting little game...

I dare you to eat Western food!

You should definitely light candles when eating Western food. The atmosphere must be full.

Just after Ran Qiuye set the tableware and poured him a glass of warm water, the person disappeared.

Li Xuewu sat on the chair and waited for a long time but no food was served. He looked around and thought that Ran Qiuye was not going to take revenge on him and prepare to starve himself, right?

"waiter?"

He was deliberately joking, but when he turned around, he found Ran Qiuye slowly walking out of the kitchen as a different person.

The black hair is tied up, with a few strands of mature charm scattered around.

The red lips were dotted with vermilion, and the dazzling candlelight illuminated her shyness.

The white clothes are better than the snow, and the bold tailoring envelops the graceful figure.

Her eyes were soft, and a few tears turned into lovesickness.

"Click~"

He turned off the lights above his head, leaving only the flickering candlelight and him in the restaurant.

Ran Qiuye took the dinner plate and walked into the restaurant under Li Xuewu's strange eyes.

Even though she was a confidant, Ran Qiuye's face was still covered with red frost when she wore a strapless white dress for the first time and showed her love so boldly for the first time.

She was more delicate than flowers, with fair skin and rosy skin. Li Xuewu unconsciously took a sip from the water glass on the table.

The gurgling sound of water entering the throat was so loud in the quiet night.

This was Li Xuewu's best response to her beauty, but it made Ran Qiuye blush even more.

He forced himself to go to the kitchen and bring a few meals back, pursed his lips, took a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, and said hesitantly: "This is... the leftovers~"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at her embarrassment and said, "Only when you have been in love can you know how strong she is, and only when you have been drunk can you know how strong the wine is. If you don't give me a taste, how will I know how strong she is?"

Ran Qiuye raised her eyes and saw that Li Xuewu's eyes were soft, just like the night of the water tower accident, like lights in the dark night, shining on her frightened heart.

"Hmph~"

She hummed in embarrassment, walked to the table with a red wine glass and said, "You are such a playboy~"

"so what?"

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Ran Qiuye's words. Knowing that she understood what he just said, he asked with a smile: "Pair radish with wine, the more you drink, the better?"

Ran Qiuye couldn't say anything better than him. She glanced at him, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said: "You blame yourself, eat the leftover rice and drink the leftover wine."

Li Xuewu looked at the plates on the table, then at the opened red wine, and asked funnyly: "Save it for me?"

"No~"

Ran Qiuye's eyes were red, she felt aggrieved, but she still said stubbornly: "If you don't eat, I ate it myself."

It looked like it was really prepared yesterday. He didn't come, so he just left it there.

Whether it's leftovers or opened wine, they are all prepared for himself after all, and Li Xuewu doesn't mind it.

He took the initiative to accept the red wine without asking her how much thought and effort she had put into preparing these.

After pouring a fifth of each other's red wine glasses, they explained with a smile: "People can't help themselves when they are in the world."

Ran Qiuye turned her face away and did not look at him. Tears fell, and the grievances that he had not finished venting when he came in came out at this moment.

There was no need for any reason, let alone any explanation from him. Whether it was because he was busy with work or because he wanted to spend time with his family, he was not hers after all.

He sniffed vigorously, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp, ignoring Li Xuewu's embarrassment.

Li Xuewu did not drink the glass of wine, but picked up the bottle and continued to pour wine for her.

The two looked at each other in silence, Li Xuewu didn't want to lie to her, and she was not an innocent little girl.

After drinking three glasses in a row, Ran Qiuye put down the glass and said, "Is it true that if I don't go to you, you will never come to me?"

"Do you think I'm a prude?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "If rules could hold me back, you wouldn't sit in front of me anymore."

"Then why?"

Ran Qiuye wiped away her tears, looked at Li Xuewu and asked tentatively: "It's because I didn't make your heart move, or maybe this matter is insignificant in your heart."

"They are all there~"

Li Xuewu took a sip of the red wine. The aroma of the wine overflowed. He had been awake for too long and the smell had dissipated.

"What you are struggling with is exactly what worries me the most. I have never wanted to break into your life, let alone..."

"You've already broken in."

Ran Qiuye didn't let Li Xuewu finish what he said. His eyes were blurred by the drunkenness, and he looked at Li Xuewu and said calmly: "In my world, magic soldiers descend from the sky, and everything is mixed up."

"I'm sorry that my presence has caused trouble in your life."

Li Xuewu picked up the wine glass, clinked it with her, and said apologetically: "If you don't cherish your body in front of the bottle, your pretense of madness will inevitably turn out to be false. I once whipped a famous horse because of my drunkenness, for fear that my love would burden my beauty."

"When will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking and ask."

Ran Qiuye held the wine glass and looked at Li Xuewu with tears in her eyes and said: "You can't catch the bright moon if you climb it, but the moon travels with you."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly, drank the wine in the glass, and added new wine to the two people's glasses.

This time his hand was heavier, and the red wine in each other's glasses was more than half a shot.

"I can't play if it's too elegant, so let's talk about something vulgar."

Li Xuewu picked up the knife and fork, divided the steaks on the dinner plate skillfully, and asked softly: "Don't you ever think about a normal life?"

"What's a normal day?"

Ran Qiuye sniffed, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Like my parents? Revisiting the past where you had to hide and tuck yourself when you wanted to eat a Western meal?"

When Li Xuewu heard what she said, he raised his eyes and wanted to understand that this set of tableware and these furnishings were the favorites of Ran's father and mother.

Their family is overseas Chinese, and Li Xuewu didn't know when his ancestors left, but seeing the old couple's behavior, it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

The tableware is all made of silver, the bone plates are also very elegant, and the candlesticks are engraved with bare-butt foreign children. It is a blessing of their family that no outsiders have noticed.

Li Xuewu's red heart is not unable to accommodate these foreign things. Whether it is Western food or Chinese food, a good meal can fill the stomach.

It is understandable if you want to enjoy a little bourgeois sentiment if you have the conditions. As long as you don't steal or rob, it all depends on your ability.

Just from the fact that the Ran family returned to China to participate in construction and education, Li Xuewu didn't feel that he had lost anyone by doing this.

As for Ran Qiuye, he didn't know how to deal with it. She said that she fell from the sky from her world, and she was not an angel on the candlestick, so how could she have that ability.

If she was really a young girl with whimsical ideas, Li Xuewu would not even bother to talk to her.

But after all, she was a girl older than him, so he was relieved when she really cried and said that she loved her to the death.

It was this disconnection and deep love that made Li Xuewu a little unbearable.

As he said just now, there are no conditions in this world that can limit his actions.

He is the only one who adapts to the environment and takes the initiative to change his life, but he is not forced by life.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the complaints in Ran Qiuye's words, and listened to her talk about all the troubles in life, with people rolling their eyes in front of her and making comments in the back.

Ran Qiuye finally had someone to talk to, and he couldn't help but talk more.

Watching Li Xuewu take away the plate in front of him and put the cut portion on, he couldn't help but feel heartwarming and cry.

Li Xuewu took a bite of the steak and knew it was pork. He thought that this might be the best ingredient Ran Qiuye could find.

There were cold ham and creamed eggs on the table. Li Xuewu wasn't used to eating much, so he didn't touch the knife and fork.

Completely becoming a listener, Li Xuewu sipped the mature wine while eating, and responded to Ran Qiuye's compliments from time to time.

It wasn't until her mouth went dry that Ran Qiuye realized that Li Xuewu on the other side had finished eating, and she had also drank all the bottle of red wine.

After taking a long breath and slapping the redness on his face, Ran Qiuye said with some embarrassment: "I haven't spoken so happily for a long time."

"You just trust me so much?"

Li Xuewu folded his left leg, looked at Ran Qiuye and asked, "There is a price for showing your heart."

"Even if it means death~"

Ran Qiuye stared at Li Xuewu and said bluntly: "I would rather die in your hands."

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu chuckled, gestured to the plate on the table and asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

"Well, I won't eat anymore."

Ran Qiuye shook his head slightly and said, "I had eaten it before you came."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, smiled, stood up and walked towards the other party.

Ran Qiuye was a little overwhelmed by his approach, and seemed to be mentally prepared, so she closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

Seeing her waiting, Li Xuewu was too embarrassed to take away the clothes on the back of her chair and leave, so he could only bend down and hug her to get up.

"Yeah~"

Ran Qiuye got what he wanted, but he couldn't help but let out a soft breath, and put his hands around Li Xuewu's neck in a panic.

Li Xuewu smiled evilly and said: "You still have a chance to choose your life now, and it falls into my hands. This fate is up to me."

Ran Qiuye's face was red, and it was because of drinking. Even though she had no experience at this age, she was not as shy as a little girl.

Pointing in the direction of the bedroom, he hummed softly: "This is the life I have chosen."

"Since you want to go all the way to the dark side"

Li Xuewu carried her towards the back room and joked: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

"Ah~~~!"

…

——

In this era, life is taken very lightly, as if the development and construction of the motherland are more important.

But sometimes people forcefully classify and treat their lives differently.

Petty bourgeoisie life is a style that ordinary people can come into contact with in this era, and they can peek into their hearts but look at it with contempt.

Someone summarized the three standards of petty bourgeoisie life:

Education and cultural level: Petty bourgeoisie usually refers to those who have received higher education and have a certain level of cultural accomplishment and knowledge.

Economic status: Their economic base is on the edge of the middle class, higher than the general public and the general working class, but has not yet reached the upper limit of the middle class.

Life taste and pursuit: Petty bourgeoisie pursue inner experience, material and spiritual enjoyment, and their unique taste, taste and style are important features of their lives.

Let me first explain the middle class. This is a false proposition, created by the bourgeoisie as a means of comfort for people who are different from the proletariat.

There is no exact standard for it, especially in China at this time, it is a word that everyone shouts about.

But it does live in the hearts of some people and has become a yardstick for measuring life standards.

Going back to petty bourgeoisie life, this kind of critical title is itself a targeted attitude towards life.

In terms of education and cultural level, economic status, taste and pursuit of life, Sister Lou’s life must transcend this style, because her family can no longer be called petty bourgeoisie.

Although Sister Lou lives a carefree life, she is the one who knows how to live and spend money.

From Ran Qiuye, we don't see Sister Lou's freedom and calmness about money. What's left is Xiaojiabiyu, who yearns for the style and fun of life.

She was born abroad and has had a privileged life since she was a child, enjoying professional and rich educational resources.

After returning to China, the life of the family of three was not difficult.

The combined salaries of the three teachers are enough to live a prosperous life.

If it hadn't been for the decline of his family's fortune and changes in his life, Ran Qiuye would not have lost hope and belief in life.

Commitment to Li Xuewu is more like a compromise and acceptance of life, and an indulgence and tolerance for herself.

Choosing to serve Li Xuewu with Western food means that she gives up her hypocritical mask, follows her inner feelings, and expresses whatever she likes.

Her parents like this kind of life, and she also likes this style.

Therefore, what is shown to Li Xuewu is the real her, facing her life choices without hiding anything.

They like to pursue inner experiences, they like material and spiritual enjoyment, and they pay attention to unique taste, interest and style.

Since she couldn't learn how to love others, or how to pretend to be loyal to others, she wanted to give this rotten and terrible life a hard blow.

There is nothing joyful about life. Even if he becomes a loner, Ran Qiuye wants to give himself the most comfortable life in the worst period of his life.

Li Xuewu's background, ability, wealth, or whether the financial resources to support her life are sufficient. After seeing her parents' food and clothing in Hongxing Village, she no longer had any worries.

This man has everything she wants, and he doesn't lack anything she can give.

Therefore, feelings themselves are unequal transactions, and Li Xuewu's departure became the fairness of this "transaction".

Western food, red wine, white skirt, soft sofa with candle holder, Li Xuewu was still thinking about the petty bourgeoisie woman after getting in the car, full of charm.

Han Jiankun sticks to the bottom line and perseverance of being a driver. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t do what you can’t do.

So when I arrived at Haiyuncang Villa, I sent Li Xuewu in and took Qin Jingru home without showing any strange expression.

Before Qin Jingru left, she reminded Li Xuewu that her luggage had been packed and she would check what needed to be added.

Li Xuewu smiled and sent the couple out, then turned around and closed the door.

On a windless night, with stars scattered in the sky, Li Xuewu stood in the courtyard and smoked a cigarette before entering the foyer.

Gu Ning walked down the stairs holding on to the handrail, and saw Li Xuewu standing in the living room rummaging through his luggage, and asked softly: "You just came back?"

"Huh? Oh, I smoked a cigarette."

Li Xuewu turned around and glanced at his wife, explained with a smile, and then continued to flip through the luggage on the sofa and said: "Jingru asked me to see what is missing. It was stacked so neatly that I was embarrassed to turn it over."

Gu Ning glanced at him, said nothing, walked down the stairs and sat down on the edge of the sofa, watching Li Xuewu busy at work.

"You haven't slept yet?"

Li Xuewu glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just after ten o'clock, and then looked at Gu Ning's eyes. It didn't look like he had slept.

Gu Ning shook his head and said, "I slept in the afternoon and I'm not sleepy yet. I'll wait for you to come."

"The sun is nice today. Have you gone out for a walk?"

Li Xuewu looked through all the clothes. If there was nothing he needed to add, he put them back in the same way.

But it is easy to open but difficult to put back. It takes a long time to pull it open and it is considered a success.

Gu Ning held her chin in her hand and put her arms on her knees. She said with a blurred look, "I took Li Shu out to play, and I came back to sleep a little tired."

"It's good to walk more often. You're too immobile, and neither is your child."

Li Xuewu poured a glass of warm water for Gu Ning while he put away his luggage.

After Gu Ning put down the cup, he bent down and hugged Gu Ning, stood up, and went upstairs.

If you have a good waist and good legs and feet, you can go up to the second floor without any difficulty!

The old lady had already fallen asleep with Li Shu in the back room, and Gu Ning enjoyed his tenderness without being too shy.

Although they were no longer an old couple, the reluctance to say goodbye still made Gu Ning take the initiative to express her feelings of attachment.

Li Xuewu's attentive care and soft words also dispelled the different emotions in her heart.

After he came out of the shower and both of them lay on the bed, Gu Ning asked, "Going to Yangcheng, do you have anything else to do?"

"What's up?"

Li Xuewu turned to look at Gu Ning, raised his eyebrows and said, "Work in the factory doesn't count. I want to go see my third uncle."

"Someone called home"

Gu Ning turned away, looked at the white curtains reflecting the moonlight, and said, "You are going to Hong Kong City."

"Instead of going to Hong Kong City, I will only go to Yangcheng"

Li Xuewu felt Gu Ning's emotions and said firmly: "Everywhere I go should be arranged by the organization. Even if there are temporary changes, it should comply with the procedures."

"real?"

Gu Ning turned her head and looked at Li Xuewu, her eyes seemed to be questioning and comforting.

Li Xuewu said funnyly: "Who do you think I am?"

"A gangster?"

"A knight errant?"

"Flying over the eaves and walking over the wall, walking lightly on the waves, you can go wherever you want?"

"There is indeed something going on in Hong Kong City, but it's not me who goes there, but Wen San'er who takes the others there."

When Li Xuewu saw Gu Ning asking, he said calmly: "Ji Weidong is standing in front just for them."

"You're not going?"

Gu Ning didn't care who went to Hong Kong City, nor did she care what Li Xuewu said Wen San'er and the others were going to Hong Kong City for. She just wanted to make sure whether Li Xuewu had changed his mind.

"Don't go!"

Li Xuewu said seriously and firmly again: "Don't say that I have a family with you now. Even if I am alone, I don't want to be a foreigner."

"Have you heard about Hong Kong City?"

Thinking that Gu Ning was so nervous, Li Xuewu turned around, looked at Gu Ning and asked, "How much do you know?"

“I’ve been to Hong Kong City”

Gu Ning turned over, faced Li Xuewu sideways, and said, "My dad took me there when they were recuperating in Yangcheng."

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning in surprise. Although the room was dark, Gu Ning could still clearly see his eyes wide open.

"It was also a long time ago. I was only a teenager at that time."

As if afraid that Li Xuewu would be hit, Gu Ning explained again.

Li Xuewu was not jealous of Gu Ning's special experience. He knew that the horizontal line could not stop special people.

He had heard about this kind of thing when he was a soldier in Yangcheng a few years ago, but he only listened to it as a story and for fun, and he didn't care.

Thinking about it today, if you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and if you haven't heard it, it doesn't mean it didn't happen. If you don't have this kind of insight, it only means that you don't stand high enough and don't see far enough.

“I don’t like that place”

Gu Ning said with some paranoia: "It will make people confused, corrupt their thinking, and make them ignorant and boring."

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu chuckled lightly, looking at his wife's tone of voice as if she was lying to a child, he nodded in agreement: "I think so too. As a shovelless warrior who is trusted and trained by the organization, I firmly resist this kind of behavior." system and ethos”.

"Hmm~!"

Gu Ning pouted and nodded in agreement: "It looks like freedom, but in fact it is a prison that locks thoughts and indulges the desire for money. It is a hell-like world."

"Well, indeed, I won't go."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I want to learn from Comrade Gu Ning and be a person who is free from vulgar taste and a noble person."

Gu Ning was a little embarrassed by what Li Xuewu said, so she raised her hand and hit him, and said angrily: "That's not serious~"

"Ahem~"

Li Xuewu couldn't help smiling and coughed a little, but when he saw Gu Ning blushing, he came closer and said, "Are you afraid that my meat bun will beat the dog and never come back?"

"No~"

Gu Ning pushed away Li Xuewu's big face, avoided his fiery gaze, and said harshly: "I'm afraid you will fall."

"Thank you, I almost went astray"

Li Xuewu chased her and kissed her, and then explained: "Biaozi has launched a project in Steel City. It is a cooperation with Ji Weidong's company and the steel mill. It is mainly about shipping."

"The steel rolling mill has decided to cooperate with Wu Feng Hong in the port city. The goods are available from the steel city to Beijing and Tianjin, so the shipping project took over the job."

"Wen San'er is going to take people to the port city to help Ji Weidong and run shipping and port services. I will dock with their ship for a short time in Yangcheng, mainly to coordinate the goods from the steel city to the port."

"Um"

Gu Ning actually didn't quite understand what was going on here, he just knew the relationship between a few people.

She was familiar with Wen San'er, and since Li Xuewu explained it, she believed it.

As for the circumstances behind this matter, she didn't want to know, and it would be useless if she knew.

She didn't even ask Li Xuewu why he came back at this time. The two had an agreement that she didn't care if Li Xuewu did his own thing, but Li Xuewu would tell her whatever she wanted to know.

So far, the two have gotten along very well. Li Xuewu did what he should do and what she needed him to do.

As long as she was sure that Li Xuewu would not go out of her way this time and would not put her in a disappointed and embarrassing situation, then she would not want to ask Li Xuewu what he was doing.

She has the confidence to face life and marriage, and has the wisdom to deal with the little things in life and marriage.

For Gu Ning, apart from love or not, life and death, they are all trivial matters.

Although that phone call was a bit unexpected, Gu Ning didn't want to explore it anymore, let alone that it would ruin her life.

No matter how many accidents Li Xuewu had, he never let her bear the debt of "being a mother", and no one came to ask for love debt. As long as he lived to understand Gu Ningle's confusion.

Li Shu was certainly not Gu Ning's accident. The little guy's mother called her clearly and she was willing to give her motherly love.

As for Li Xuewu's random godson, there might be many more in the future, but she didn't take it to heart.

But when she heard Li Xuewu mention Wen San'er, she thought about the mother and son living in the courtyard, and how she would feel if Li Xuewu ran to Hong Kong City.

In the past, I might have thought that living alone was fine, so why bother getting married?

Later, with the appearance of Li Xuewu, a ray of sunshine shone into her life, which was a bit dazzling and naughty, making her feel loved by the world.

Now that there was a heartbeat in her belly, she seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on this man without realizing it.

Thinking in her heart, her body involuntarily leaned against his chest, which was warm, heavy, and reliable.

Li Xuewu hugged Gu Ning, feeling her tenderness and feeling that he was a reliable man.

(Li Er pointed: Who is commenting "Damn!")——

Of course there is no need to wait lonely on the long platform. Who dares to let the leaders board the train?

At eight o'clock on Saturday evening, all the staff who went to Yangcheng with the delegation to participate in the exhibition gathered at the dispatching station of the steel rolling mill.

The leaders of each team took the roll call to get on the train and coordinated the luggage handling. The person in charge of the cargo compartment had already sealed the goods and was checking the tickets with the captain in charge.

There are three carriages in a trip: a soft-sleeper office carriage, a hard-sleeper commuter carriage, and a cargo carriage.

The cargo compartment contained the products for this exhibition, as well as various necessary materials, including the red books and small gifts that Li Xuewu asked Shen Guodong to prepare.

The hard-sleeper commuter carriage has more than 100 beds, which is enough for the accommodation of the group members.

The soft sleeper office carriage is very high-end. In addition to the separate soft sleeper box, there are also conference rooms, shower rooms, duty rooms, offices, etc.

In the car label, it is not called a soft-sleeper office car, but is collectively called an official car.

There were two factory leaders who went to Yangcheng this time, Li Huaide and Jing Yunong, and three leaders at the team leader level, Li Xuewu, Gou Zirong, and Xia Zhongquan.

As the head of the preparatory team, Gou Zirong had already gone to Yangcheng in advance, so the four leaders of the four private rooms in the official car were assigned to one room each.

As the chief engineer, Xia Zhongquan's natural level is comparable to that of a team leader, so he should enjoy the box treatment.

He didn't know the layout of the train before getting on the train, and he wanted to take Li Xuewu to live in the same room, but Li Xuewu arranged for Sister Lou to get on the train, so he naturally didn't want to deal with an old man like him.

The soft bags on the official car are somewhat special. The bed is a small double bed, not a bunk bed in the traditional sense.

The carriage includes a bed, a desk, and a chair, which is very complete.

Of course, secretaries don’t have to be crowded in a box with leaders. They have dedicated rest rooms and desks.

It is similar to a traditional soft sleeper, except that the sofa is replaced by a small desk.

Sha Qizhi settled Li Xuewu's luggage and went to his room. He was the one who picked up Sister Lou and sent her to Li Xuewu's private room.

He didn't know why the leader arranged it like this, and he didn't want to know.

He has met many lesbians who have a special relationship with Li Xuewu.

However, there was no real special relationship. It seemed fake but not real, and he couldn't understand the exact situation.

You said that the lesbian who got in the car was close to Li Xuewu and had never seen each other before.

Li Xuewu was not the kind of person who would travel on official business with personal connections. He took the car with a letter of introduction from the steel rolling mill's cooperative unit in the capital.

As for the special one, the person from Jinmen is special. He and Han Jiankun personally sent him there, and the house was arranged by Li Xuewu.

The key is that the one is pregnant, so there is a big problem here.

He kept thinking about this matter, thinking that Li Xuewu was not such a person, especially considering the relationship between Li Xuewu and his father-in-law, such a thing could not happen.

But the pregnant woman with a big belly went to Jinmen in plain sight, how to explain this.

What's the explanation? Anyone who knows about this doesn't dare to provoke Li Xuewu. If they don't know, no one wants to know if they don't tell them.

Li Xuewu dug too many pits, and many people fell into them, broke their legs, and lost their lives, so no one was willing to take advantage of him.

In the official car, except for the four leaders, the corresponding secretaries and office staff, who would care about this.

After more than an hour of noise, the platform gradually became quiet amid urgings and shouts.

After the whistle blew, and as the factory leaders and office staff who came to see him off were waving, at 21:10, the three carriages slowly started up under the pull of the temporary locomotive and drove away from the dispatching workshop.

According to the dispatching of the steel rolling mill, three special carriages will be hung at the back of the Express 15 train.

It was 20:10 when we came out of the steel rolling mill. It was already 22:10 when the actual mounting was completed and the train officially started.

When Li Xuewu came back from the conference room, Sister Lou was sitting on the bed in a daze.

When I saw him entering the room, I remembered to put down the leather bag in my hand, pursed my lips and didn't know what to say.

"Just sitting like this?"

"Um"

Sister Lou responded, her eyes a little blurry as she watched Li Xuewu go to the desk to pour hot water.

Li Xuewu put the tea cup next to Sister Lou, took out the washbasin from under the bed, gestured to the door and said: "Get some hot water to wash your feet, so you can sleep."

"I'll go..."

Sister Lou stood up like a habit and was about to take the basin from Li Xuewu's hand, but she remembered something and took her hand back as if she was electrocuted.

Seeing Sister Lou's embarrassed and disappointed expression, Li Xuewu said nothing and walked out of the box door with the washbasin in hand.

Sister Lou sat back on the bed with a gloomy expression, remembering her identity. She couldn't see the light of day in the capital, and naturally it was the same on the train.

She really wanted to go back to the past, to the small courtyard by Haizi, and to the days when they spent time together day and night.

There is no glory and wealth, no fine clothes and food, as long as he is there.

The box door reopened and Li Xuewu walked in carrying a washbasin.

Sister Lou wiped away the tears that had fallen from her face at some point, and her face was cold.

"Look, what is this doing~"

Li Xuewu turned around and closed the door of the private room, closed the curtains, took out the chair inside the desk and sat across from Sister Lou.

Sister Lou turned sideways to avoid Li Xuewu's big hand, facing the side of the car window, pursed her lips, not letting her tears continue to fall.

"Is it because you are not allowed to fetch hot water?"

Of course Li Xuewu knew why Sister Lou was crying, so he deliberately said teasingly: "Can't I serve you?"

As he said that, he stood up and got a towel, put it in the hot water basin, twisted it, and came over to wipe her face.

Sister Lou's tears seemed to have burst. They could not be wiped clean or dried, and they kept flowing down.

"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore"

Li Xuewu held Sister Lou in his arms and comforted her gently, saying comfortingly: "We're not going, we're not going. We'll go to Yangcheng to play around and then come back."

Sister Lou pursed her lips and cried silently. She threw away Li Xuewu's hand and hit him hard several times.

Li Xuewu endured it silently, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly: "I keep my promise. If you are willing to wait to see dad in Yangcheng, then come with me. If you don't want to, you can get off at the next stop." The car is going back."

Sister Lou, who was lying in Li Xuewu's arms, felt aggrieved, but still stubbornly shook her head.

Although it was Li Xuewu who suggested that she go to Hong Kong City, it was her father who really made her unable to refuse.

She didn't know what happened to her father in Hong Kong City, but she could still feel her father's loss from the news sent back.

The eldest mother and the second mother's family went to Hong Kong City a long time ago. Who knows what their life is like.

This time my father went to Hong Kong City with the intention of handling Li Xuewu's affairs, but he was also prepared to find his relatives.

Things are going well in the company, and the only thing that can make his father disappointed is the matter of finding his relatives.

In the capital, my father only had two daughters, her and the eldest sister. The eldest sister did not stand up for anything, and because of her background, she was also resented by her husband's family, and she did not dare to return to her husband's family.

Her father wanted to keep the family property. If she didn't stand up, she would really expect him to fight for his life.

So whether she blames Li Xuewu for being selfish or resents Li Xuewu for being unfeeling, Li Xuewu didn't choose her. She chose her family and her parents.

When it comes to spokespersons, she represents Li Xuewu less than the Lou family. After leaving home, she can act as a member of the Lou family.

But knowing this, I still couldn't help but blame Li Xuewu, why he had to "collude" with his father and make her make sacrifices in the end.

Thinking of not being able to see Li Xuewu for so many years, Sister Lou actually hated her own father.

Li Xuewu coaxed her, held her in his arms, took off her shoes and heated her feet, finally making Sister Lou stop crying.

"I hate you~"

"Okay okay"

Li Xuewu nodded indifferently. Whatever she said was fine, as long as she didn't cry.

When Sister Lou saw him reluctantly lifting his feet from the basin, she wanted to kick him, but she couldn't do it well and was caught by Li Xuewu.

"After all, you can't do it with your hands!"

Li Xuewu scratched the soles of her feet, which made Sister Lou kick hard, glared at him, and started soaking her feet again in anger.

"I won't come back, and you don't want to see me again in the future."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Li Xuewu nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm annoying people like this."

He didn't mind the fuss, and while Sister Lou was burning her feet, he took off his shoes, stretched out his feet and stepped directly on Sister Lou's feet.

"You're the bastard!"

When Sister Lou saw Li Xuewu like this, she was so angry that she wanted to bite him!

The water in the basin was hot, and she would put it in for a while before taking it out to dry. Li Xuewu stepped on her foot, which made her almost stand up.

Li Xuewu completely ignored her grinning look and said with a smile: "Perm it well to activate blood circulation and remove blood clots, which will help you sleep."

"Go to sleep! It's burning me to death!"

Sister Lou's foot was stepped on, but she didn't dare to pull it out for fear of spilling the water in the basin. This private room was not at home.

Seeing that she couldn't bear it anymore, Li Xuewu let go of his foot, but Sister Lou stepped on her foot to take revenge on him.

"Oh~ it's hot! It's hot! It's hot!~"

Seeing the ferocious joy on Sister Lou's face, Li Xuewu pretended that he couldn't bear it and kept shouting, but his acting was exaggerated, and Sister Lou looked right at him.

"Hmph~"

Sister Lou stepped on him hard, and after snorting, she also stretched into the basin along the gap between his feet.

One was sitting on the bed, the other was sitting on a chair, with their feet in a basin. Sister Lou was so warm that her heart almost melted.

The sound of the train's movement disappeared from the world, and only the man opposite him could be seen.

Li Xuewu felt the deep friendship in Sister Lou's eyes, stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, and said: "I'm serious, you don't have to go, let dad stay in Hong Kong City."

"Can you please stop being so cruel?"

Sister Lou narrowed her eyes and glared at Li Xuewu and said, "I just forgot about the pain, and you came to expose my scars."

"If this is true, how could you let me get in the car?"

"Even if you have such an arrangement, how can I be willing to let my father go through this hard work and fatigue?"

Sister Lou is not stupid. In addition to love, there is also clear wisdom in her eyes.

Even if she stays in the capital, how far can she go with Li Xuewu?

Without the support of the family, what is the difference between her and Yu Li? Li Xuewu does not need two secretaries.

Even if he could manage the accounts for him, as his business grew bigger and bigger, his manpower became smaller and smaller, and Li Xuewu preferred standardization and institutionalization.

Young couples will break up one day, how can she guarantee that Li Xuewu will not change his heart for her.

Even if Li Xuewu loves her as much as he loves her, what can the two of them say when they sit together at an old age?

Women, after all, have to live a certain life, and the beauty that men like will become dim as time goes by.

But time is also fair, and will compensate her for a beauty called temperament, which will become eternal.

Sister Lou thought that instead of waiting passively, it would be better to actively fight for it.

She was the woman behind Li Xuewu in the past, but she wants Li Xuewu to be the man behind her in the future.

This is possible, Li Xuewu likes to be behind the scenes... (End of this chapter)
