Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Go, this unlucky child, what are you talking about~"

Qin Huairu said angrily, took a wet towel and walked to her daughter to wipe the faces of the big and small ones.

"Eat quietly at home, do your homework well after eating, don't you plan to go out to play tomorrow?"

"And you!"

She saw her son looking up at her stubbornly with his big fat face, stretched out his hand and tapped Banggeng's forehead, and scolded: "You have only been in school for a few months, how many times has the teacher called me?"

"Our teacher is always busy~"

Banggeng was not convinced and pouted his lips indignantly: "There are many people who don't do their homework, why do you have to focus on me alone!"

"Don't be ungrateful!"

Qin Huairu saw that her son was getting more and more sloppy, while scolding him, pinched his face.

"The teacher is concerned about you, thinks you are still a promising talent, and doesn't want to give up on you, how can you be ungrateful."

"Not at all!"

Banggeng has long been immune to his mother's little punishment, as long as it doesn't hurt, he doesn't care.

At this moment, he stiffened his neck and pouted his lips, saying disdainfully: "Our teacher is a snob. She only targeted me because she saw that you are a cadre. She just wants to please you and ask for favors."

"Humph!"

Seeing that his mother was stunned by his words, he said with a smug look on his face: "Instead of that, I hope she won't pay attention to me."

"Hey! Are you being too picky!"

Qin Huairu was really stunned by her son's words. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. I don't know since when, Banggeng also had this kind of awareness of the world.

"I tell you, even if your teacher has this idea, it's for your own good. You don't study hard, so you have the right to do it, right?"

"You will be obedient when I hit you with a stick. If I don't hit you for three days, you will tear off the tiles on the roof!"

"This child! How can you think like that~"

Jia Zhang also chided: "People take care of you for your mother's sake, so you should study hard and make your mother proud, right?!"

"Don't worry about him, you will be a rag picker and street sweeper in the future"

Qin Huairu said angrily to him and tidied herself in front of the mirror.

Seeing Banggeng sitting there with his neck stiff and staring, she was still persuading the two little ones: "Girls, we don't learn from your brother. We should study hard and go to college when we grow up, just like your sister-in-law Yafang in the front yard, and become a teacher, a university teacher."

"Okay"

Huaihua is a fun-loving person. She agrees to whatever her mother says, but she has no idea about university teachers.

Xiaodang has grown up. Seeing that his mother has finally shifted the attention she had paid to his brother to him, he said seriously, "Mom, I want to be a doctor when I grow up, just like Aunt Gu Ning."

"You?"

Banggeng saw that his mother was getting angry with his two sisters, and said disdainfully, "Aunt Xiaoning is over 1.7 meters tall, and you can't even reach the operating table!"

"I'm still growing!"

Xiaodang shouted unconvinced, his words full of grievances, and he almost cried out of anger.

Qin Huairu glared at her son, touched her daughter's hair, and asked with a smile, "Why do you look like your Aunt Xiaoning? Isn't your Grandpa Li a doctor? Isn't Uncle Xuecai a doctor?"

"Then ~..."

Xiaodang avoided his mother's gaze a little embarrassedly, and said shyly, "Aunt Xiaoning is more beautiful."

"Timid! ~"

Banggeng started to be disdainful again, but before he could finish his words, his mother pinched his mouth.

"Oh~~~~"

Bang Geng was just being naughty, and he took advantage of the situation. He hugged his mother's arm and said in a pleading tone: "Mom~ Just let me go~ I promise to do my homework well when I come back."

"Don't give me that"

Qin Huairu knew her son's mouth too well. He forgot what he said, but he was good at eating.

Even now, the mother-in-law signaled her with her eyes to take Bang Geng with her, but she didn't.

"If I don't see you finish your homework when I come back, I'll see how I deal with you!"

"Ah~~~~"

Bang Geng saw that his mother really went out, and knew that he couldn't go to the front yard. He wailed with a hoarse voice, and the food on the table didn't smell good.

Nonsense, the food in their family was okay when it was improved, but if it was really compared with when there was something wrong in the front yard, how could it be compared.

"Meat~ I want to eat meat~ I want to eat meat~"

"Don't yell, kid~"

Jia Zhang put away her handicrafts with a grumble, muttering: "Maybe they also eat vegetarian food, just like us"

"..."

Bang Geng looked at his grandmother speechlessly, his mouth almost curled up to the South Heaven Gate: "Grandma, it's okay for you to fool the neighbor's grandmother, but how can you even fool your own grandson!"

After saying that, he pushed the stewed squash on the table with his hand, looked at his grandmother and asked: "Do you think Uncle Guodong will give Uncle Wu this to welcome him back from his business trip?"

"Don't lie to the child!"

Bang Geng seemed to have suffered a great injustice, hugged his arms and pouted, saying: "If that's the case, it would be great, I can go out and watch the fun in a while, Uncle Wu beat Uncle Guodong three times!"

"Hehehe~"

Xiao Dang and Huaihua, who were sitting aside holding their rice bowls, were also amused by their brother's words. The laughter of the two children was crisp and the room was very lively for a while.

Life is full of flavors, and you need to face it with a smile.

The Li family was really lively today. Li Xuewu's family of three, with the old lady, and Li Xuewen who had been "released from prison", although Li Shun and the third child were in the mountains, and Li Xue was still in Yangcheng, but compared with the previous quietness, Liu Yin was already very happy.

The happiest person was of course Li Shu. After grandma hugged the great grandfather, and then the great grandfather hugged the grandfather, she was dealing with it while listening to the people in the room talking, and her big eyes were a little too busy.

"Take it~ take it~ take it"

She was very familiar with people and liked to be around. The more people there were at home, the happier she was, the more excited she was, and the more she dared to play.

At this moment, she saw that the third aunt was heating wine for the great grandfather, and she was anxious first. She grabbed it with her little hand and gestured to give her the wine pot, and she wanted to taste it.

Ji Yuxiu deliberately teased her, touched the wine with the tip of the chopsticks, touched her lips, and smiled and waited to see her reaction.

Li Shu pursed her lips and licked them, her big eyes suddenly glared, and then frowned.

But just as everyone was laughing at her little expression, she also laughed, pointing her little hand at the wine pot, her eyes like a little drunkard.

"Hahahaha"

Everyone in the room couldn't stop laughing, Liu Yin scolded the third daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, what if there is a little drunkard in the family in the future!

Ji Yuxiu pointed to Li Xuewu who was sitting next to the grandmother, and said with a smile: "A big drunkard and a small drunkard, hahaha~"

"If you say so, I really have to drink with the grandmother"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded his daughter's little hand, indicating that she put it down, and it would be enough to have someone who can drink at home.

Li Shu rolled her eyes unconvinced, broke free from the arms of the grandfather and got on the kang, and ran to the dining table with her legs tumbling, looking like she wanted to drink.

"Hey! Hahahaha"

Ji Yuxiu took the blame for the trouble she caused, and grabbed Li Shu's clothes from behind with a smile, and pulled them back again.

"Please forgive your aunt. If I really let you start drinking from me, your father will scold you."

"It's okay, just buy the wine for me."

Li Xuewu teased her with a smile, saying, "If you really follow me, you won't have to do anything else with your monthly salary."

"Look, your father is so cruel, how dare your aunt mess with you?"

Ji Yuxiu and Li Xuecai's relationship was settled, and everyone in the family treated her as their own, and teased Li Shu by calling her Third Aunt.

But Ji Yuxiu was a girl after all, so she didn't feel embarrassed, so she called herself Aunt.

"You said, Aunt is good~"

"Hmm~~~"

Li Shu didn't want to talk now, she wanted to drink, and was teased by Third Aunt, shaking her head left and right, but didn't respond.

Ji Yuxiu was very patient, teaching Li Shu to call her Aunt over and over again.

"Hey~"

Li Shu didn't know what was wrong, and was teased by Ji Yuxiu, and she sighed suddenly, and the people who looked at her laughed again.

Ji Yuxiu was also angry and laughed. She tickled Li Shu and said angrily: "I haven't said I'm tired yet, but you're starting to annoy me!"

"Oh!"

Li Shu couldn't get over the third aunt, so she could only seek help from outside. When she saw grandma coming into the house, she quickly stretched out her hands for a hug.

Grandma is good, grandma won't force her to talk, and grandma will find delicious food for herself~

"Grandma! Grandma!"

This little girl is smart. It's not that she can't talk, but she doesn't want to.

"What is this? This is a little calf!"

Liu Yin pointed at Li Shu's little hand and smiled: "The more you press her head, the less she will give you water"

After that, the eldest granddaughter didn't forget to scold her son: "She is the same as her father, both of them are stubborn."

"This is really a great injustice"

Li Xuewu laughed and said unconvinced: "Ask around in this courtyard, everyone knows that I have been a good child since I was young, and I have the least temper."

"Oh my~ What did I hear!"

Li Xuewen was amused. Looking at his brother, he really didn't know what to say.

"That's right!"

Ji Yuxiu stood aside and said, "I've only been here for a few days, and I've heard a lot about my second brother's heroic deeds. Isn't it my second brother?"

After saying that, she shook Li Shu and said, "Who doesn't praise my second brother? I have to praise him. After all, I'm the youngest."

"Hahaha~"

The room became lively again. The old lady sat on the kang and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed. She was no longer unhappy in the afternoon.

The whole family reunited and had endless joy. From the expressions of the old lady and the grandmother, it can be seen that when the children and grandchildren are happy, they are content.

Maybe because of Li Xuewen's return, the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Yafang's face was also full of smiles.

Even when talking about his father and the third child in the conversation, it was inevitable that his mother Liu Yin would nag a few words.

"We still have to wait."

Li Xuewu could hear the temptation in his mother's words, and he could also see the eyes of his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Family members know their own affairs. It's easy to deal with the elder brother's side. After all, he doesn't work at the school and can't be easily affected.

He is now running back and forth between home and the first prison, and the car he bought for his wife is now in use.

The school is not interesting. The primary school students have resumed classes and studied, but there is no news from the university.

Even if there is, it is bad news.

Li Xuewen is lazy and he doesn't want to get involved in those shabby things.

If Zhao Yafang goes, maybe she can really make a name for herself.

He?

The whole family knows that he is not suitable. Now he is not only comfortable with the first prison, but also his family is relieved about him.

So Li Xuewu didn't say anything. He has been working there. From time to time, he can go to the steel rolling mill to be a consultant or something.

In terms of physics, the eldest brother is very talented, but Li Xuewu doesn't understand what he is studying specifically.

Really, from a product perspective, he still has some insights.

But he is really not good at studying technology through theoretical means and then turning the technology into products that adapt to society and the market.

I introduced my eldest brother to the steel rolling mill in the hope that he would learn by analogy, benefit the steel rolling mill, and benefit a lot from himself.

Turning back to the father and the third child, Li Xuewu also considered his words, and under the attention of his mother, old lady and others, he gave an overview.

Different from the elder brother's arrangement, when my father left, he took the mission of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital with him.

It's not appropriate for him to come back now, and it's easy for others to take advantage of him.

But there are also some labels that are slapped on me, and sooner or later I can take them off.

It would really be unworthy of anyone to catch evidence that he was derelict in his duties.

As for the third child, Li Xuewu didn't need to tell him that Ji Yuxiu didn't want him to come down.

It's not that the two of them don't get along, but that she also hopes that Li Xuecai will learn more about his craftsmanship from his father-in-law.

As for Li Xuecai's character, he is said to be lively and introverted, and said to be introverted and sullen. If he doesn't temper his temper, how can he sit firmly in the chair of traditional Chinese medicine.

She didn't want Li Xuecai to be on the mountain, but to be by her father-in-law's side.

Although it has always been said that the conditions in the mountains are not bad, the gap between urban and rural areas is indescribable.

My father-in-law only has three sons. If the eldest and the second oldest cannot fulfill their filial piety, who else would it be if he didn't go there?

Although Ji Yuxiu is young, her parents have not been around her since she was a child. She has a delicate but not weak personality and is very sensible.

After Li Xuewu explained, she helped persuade her mother-in-law and grandma.

Although Liu Yin was still a little anxious, her son persuaded her and her younger son and wife said this again, so she could only nod.

The old lady also nodded slowly and said: "As the old saying goes, a son with a lot of money can't sit down in the hall, and he can't worry about his mistakes."

She was also thinking about her eldest son, but she still said firmly: "You should go and see him from time to time, and you will feel more at ease."

"What can't I let go of?"

At this moment, Liu Yin also insisted on replying to the old lady: "I'm just afraid that both of them are careless, and someone else is careless."

"Hey~ How can I starve to death?"

The old lady is soft-hearted and hard-spoken. If she doesn't say so, Liu Yin will get angry.

"You're worried about getting angry now. Maybe we'll have a good meal in the mountains."

"Come on, eat when the food is ready."

The old lady clapped her hands and asked Ji Yuxiu to hand Li Shu to her, and let Sun's wife's hands go to work.

Zhao Yafang and Gu Ning both had big bellies and couldn't bend down easily, so family dinners gradually became Ji Yuxiu's busy work with her mother-in-law.

She would actually say that when faced with her sister-in-law's politeness, she smiled and shouted for Zhao Yafang to be more practical.

Zhao Yafang also deliberately teased her, asking what was practical.

While Ji Yuxiu was carrying the dishes, she said, "The supply and marketing cooperative sells everything, so why don't I take you there~"

"Okay, I'm not afraid of asking for it, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to find it anywhere."

Zhao Yafang scolded Li Xuewen and said, "Did you hear that? I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow, so I can buy more for my sister-in-law."

"What's good?"

Li Xuewen stood in the room and said with a smile: "I think all the good things are in the bookstore. I will go to the bookstore later and look around."

"That's what you bought for me~"

Ji Yuxiu said angrily: "Look at you two, you are not sincere at all!"

She smiled and said to Zhao Yafang: "Sister-in-law, you know that my eldest brother has no money, so you let him go."

"Big brother is nice. He thinks that what he likes is what I like. Isn't this just teasing me?"

"Who said I have no money?!"

Before Ji Yuxiu could finish complaining, Li Xuewen took out two yuan and thirty cents from his pocket and said seriously: "Look, you still have so much left from the five yuan your sister-in-law gave you last month. "

"Don't be too little, brother will give you half."

He pretended to be loyal and teased: "We will buy whatever you want to buy then!"

"Oh~~~"

Ji Yuxiu couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Two yuan and thirty cents for half, how can you buy sincerity~"

After speaking, he looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Second brother, you can't imitate the elder brothers and sisters-in-law! You have to be more generous!"

"good!"

Li Xuewu smiled and said to Gu Ning: "Didn't you hear what my brother-in-law said? Hurry up and be generous!"

"Ah~~Why is it always like this~"

Ji Yuxiu covered her face and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you not pay attention to my sister-in-law~"

"Are you saying that I have no money like my elder brother~?"

Gu Ning now joined in with a smile and said jokingly: "I have my own salary."

"real?"

Ji Yuxiu opened her fingers, looked at Gu Ning and asked, "Second brother, why don't you spend your money?"

"joke!"

Li Xuewu stood up, looked at Ji Yuxiu and said, "How can you still spend your wife's money?"

"Ahem~"

The eldest brother looked at him with another look and asked: "Are you talking about me~"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone in the room laughed again. Brother Gein was now "exiled" and his salary had been stopped.

When Li Xuewu said he couldn't spend his wife's salary, he was just talking about him.

The brothers gathered together, chatting and laughing, just to have fun.

Li Xuewu ate half of the meal at home, and was called over from the other side of the house to eat the remaining half.

He was with his family because he hadn't had time to see his mother after returning from a business trip, and he was eating at home so that his mother could see him.

He came to the back house because his brothers missed him, especially Shen Guodong, who hadn't seen him for half a month and had really lost a lot of weight.

Xiaoyan'er didn't think there was anything wrong with him losing weight. According to her personality, she also thought that Shen Guodong should exercise more.

This exercise did not refer to the body, but to the level of business.

In the past, when Lao Biaozi was at home, Li Xuewu gave him the big things to do. Shen Guodong stayed at home and didn't feel the need for him.

Now the recycling station's business is booming, and he is really needed. Now he is a little bit helpless.

But Li Xuewu chatted with the second master, chatted with other guys, asked Xiaoyan and other people in the store, and felt that it was okay.

Although Shen Guodong said that he was in a mess, who was born to be a master of business? He still needs to exercise.

Now, while the scale of the recycling station is still small, it is just right for people and business to grow together.

If you think about it carefully, those old-fashioned entrepreneurs all grew up little by little with the company.

They will make mistakes in the process of growth, even fatal ones, but they must have gained something.

Li Xuewu is confident that he will not let the recycling station go bankrupt. Even if it goes bankrupt, his brothers have been trained, and he has a lot of ways to make money in his mind.

If you save people and lose land, people and land will all be saved. If you save land and lose people, people and land will all be lost.

Isn't life like this? Who doesn't have three or five confidants, brothers and friends? If you really live alone, what's the point of having wealth and glory?

He doesn't care much about money in his life again, and this is not bragging.

If he likes money, he can cash it out in many channels.

But what can he do with the money? What do you lose while making money? Isn't it a loss in life?

"Xuewu"

While eating in the back room, Fei Shanying called Li Xuewu and said, "Aunt San has always wanted to thank you. You see, we mother and daughter are bothering you..."

"Why are you talking about this?"

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the children eating on the kang table, and his eyes swept over Shen Guodong and others. It was obvious that Aunt San had something to say.

Fei Shanying had finished eating and was sitting on the kang. She looked at Li Xuewu on the floor table and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, our home is not too far from here, and we can take care of it."

"Aunt San, didn't I tell you everything?"

Shen Guodong took over the conversation and advised, "Uncle San told me when he left. I was afraid that you would not like it, so I told Brother Wu. Otherwise, he would miss you, right?"

As he spoke, he got up and went to the kang to add more rice for himself, emphasizing, "If you are really so polite, I will be embarrassed to see Uncle San."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuewu who was sitting at the table behind him and said, "Don't say that I'm complaining about Brother Wu. When Biaozi comes back, he might get angry with me."

"Alas, I'm the same..."

Fei Shanying looked at Li Xuewu and said in a low tone, "Xuewu's family has nowhere to go when they come back..."

"Hey, you're still worried about this"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's cold now. I can't come back once a month"

"After Xiaoning is born, I'm afraid she won't come back for a year or two. You can help me take care of the house"

He was also comforting Fei Shanying, knowing that the third aunt felt bad.

"This house, it's not good if no one lives in it for a long time"

Shen Guodong walked back to the dining table and said to Fei Shanying, "Just consider it as helping us. Besides, you're not idle either. I feel more at ease with you at home."

"Look at you two~"

Fei Shanying laughed, holding her belly, and said, "I don't know what to say".

"I envy you guys"

Qin Huairu also put down her bowl, raised her glass and clinked it with Li Xuewu and others, saying: "It is such a happy thing in life to have a group of like-minded people working together".

"You are also a happy person"

Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at her, then gestured to Xiaoyan and others on the kang table, saying: "Let's be happy together!"

"Okay~~~"

Everyone cheered loudly, celebrating tonight's reunion and the current unity.

Shazhu smiled and tried hard to hold back the wine. He finally got the chance. He was always restricted at home recently.

Dilya's control over him became more and more. Not only did she not let him smoke, but she also did not let him drink.

The reason was simple. People only drink when they go out for social events. What kind of social events can Shazhu have?

Shazhu also felt wronged. He missed his wife before he got married, but now he has a wife and has to be restricted. What did he ask for this wife to do?

Just to restrict him?

"Ahem~"

Yes! He drank secretly, and didn't say anything at this moment, because he was afraid that Diliya would see him.

But he was still seen, and the notification sound came.

It's not that Shazhu didn't resist before, but Diliya is a wife, so she is a little special.

She will say what you say, but she will never yell at you. If you don't listen, she will ignore you.

Just think about it, a grown man, how uncomfortable you will feel when your wife ignores you.

Those who say they don't feel uncomfortable are all singles, don't join in the fun, whoever gets married knows this feeling.

It may not be considered cold violence, after all, you made the mistake first.

But if it's not true, Shazhu, who can overturn a pig's body, is really afraid of this.

Do it?

Don’t even mention the brother-in-law’s heart that could hurt him at any time, even watching his wife giving birth to children for him made him reluctant to let go.

He is a scoundrel, but not a bastard.

Li Xuewu knew what he meant when he saw him put down his glass. He smiled and glanced at him, and was about to take back the glass, but was touched by Yu Shui’s glass.

“I toast you”

“Why?”

“Why?”

Seeing Li Xuewu’s hesitation, Yu Shui glared at him and said, “Thank you, thank you for helping me.”

“When did it happen?”

Before Li Xuewu could speak, Sha Zhu was stunned and looked at his sister in surprise.

What help? Explain it clearly! How come I didn’t know it!

He was on guard against it, but he still couldn’t prevent it!

“What do you care!”

Yu Shui drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, making it impossible for Li Xuewu not to drink.

Seeing Sha Zhu in a daze, Qin Huairu glared at him and explained cleverly, “It’s just a matter of the workshop.”

After saying that, she looked at Yu Shui again and said, "Not really, he was just ordering you around, and you're still thanking him."

"Sometimes being used is a good thing."

Yu Shui also drank a lot today, and he was about to drink more, so he started to talk nonsense.

Sha Zhu was just stunned now, not knowing how to react.

Qin Huairu patted Yu Shui on the back and said, "Is the workshop in trouble? Talk to Sister Qin."

Yu Shui smiled, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's okay, what can happen in the workshop? It's quite a training."

As she said this, she looked at Li Xuewu again and said seriously, "I came to the right place, I should have been doing business a long time ago."

"As long as you like it."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and nodded, "I hope to see the day when you make merit and receive an award."

"Hehe~"

Yu Shui propped her elbows on the table, chuckled at him, and said, "You used to be a political commissar, why do you talk like that?"

"It's a pity to say this"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I really lack such qualifications."

"Puff~"

The beer in Shen Guodong's mouth had already sprayed out. He understood what Brother Wu meant. He felt that he was not pure.

He Yushui stared at Shen Guodong's reaction in a daze, and then she knew what was going on.

"Bad guy!"

She said angrily, her face flushed, her eyes narrowed, as if she was going to bite someone.

Li Xuewu was just teasing her, and seeing her like this, he stopped making trouble.

The drinking time at the table here was long, and the grandmother came over after eating at home and chatted for a while.

It was past nine o'clock when everyone left the table, and there were still many things to say.

Fei Shanying meant that she thought that Li Xuewu and Gu Ning would take the children back to the backyard to live, and she would take the children to Yu Li's place to spend the night.

How could Li Xuewu make trouble for her? In fact, the family had prepared two rooms and two kangs for accommodation, so there was not enough sleep.

It's just one night's work. Living in the same room, everyone can chat.

Besides, Ji Yuxiu's place heats the kang every day, so it's convenient to live there.

Li Xuewu lives with Gu Ning at home, in the same room with his mother and the old lady. Li Shu is excited today and hasn't slept yet.

Especially when the big kang is covered with quilts and the whole family sleeps together, Li Shu likes this atmosphere.

Starting from the lady at the head of the kang, she crawled and jumped over the adults to the father at the end of the kang, and then turned back.

If she met the father to catch her, it would be more fun, rolling and crawling, very happy.

The old lady at the head of the kang turned off the light and scared Li Shu into hiding in her quilt, which stopped this big devil.

At this time before going to bed at night, the family members in the north and south rooms chatted for a while across the living room.

Until someone yawned and someone snored, it was quiet.

When she woke up again, the roosters were crowing and the sun was rising in the east.

Li Shu was so noisy last night that she couldn't get up in the morning. She had a serious power loss, so she just slept no matter how he called her.

Li Xuewu smiled and teased her, but she just pushed away her father's hand, turned around and continued to sleep with her butt sticking out.

The morning wash was a little cold because Li Xuewu stood in the yard with a toothbrush and brushed his teeth.

There were many people in the house, you washed your face, he brushed his teeth, and there were also people who made fire and cooked and coaxed the children, which was not noisy enough.

He would rather be cold and come out to hide in the quiet.

While rinsing his mouth, he saw the third uncle walking in from the hanging flower gate with a lot of lawsuits on his head.

Perhaps seeing him standing in the yard, Yan Fugui was startled, and then his expression was embarrassed, not knowing whether he should say hello.

But unexpectedly, Li Xuewu greeted him first: "Are you on night shift, uncle?"

"What night shift~"

Yan Fugui knew his limits and didn't dare to provoke Li Xuewu. He raised the two crucian carps in his hand and said, "How can I get this on duty?"

"Night fishing? Okay!"

Li Xuewu said with a little surprise: "You are in good health. Hobbies are good things, but you have to take it easy. It's going to be windy at night."

"Oh~ I know~"

Yan Fugui sighed, shook his head, and walked home with his trophy.

He didn't catch anything last night. These two fish were bought on credit from others. Either he would return them to the owner or he would pay them.

When he said he bought them on credit, it was because he begged hard, saying that his daughter-in-law had no milk to feed the child, so she needed this crucian carp soup.

People felt sorry for him and came here to watch over him in the middle of the night.

You said it was the middle of the night, so he must be free during the day. He hasn't even said that any blood vessels in his head have exploded.

He didn't say that asking for help was embarrassing enough, and if he continued to play the victim, he would be even more ashamed to live.

When I met Li Xuewu today, in the past, he might have nagging about this matter, complaining about others, complaining about this, anyway, he would always have something to say.

But look at him today, sighing, saying a few words and going home.

It's not anything else, he himself feels that life is meaningless and people look down on him.

This person lives for his spirit. If his spirit is gone, he looks like he is about to die.

He looks listless, who knows how serious the disease is.

With his body and freezing outside all night, it's a miracle that he can walk back today.

Night fishing also requires ability and level.

What ability?

The ability to protect yourself, not to catch any fish but to sacrifice yourself, which is more or less?

What level?

The level of fishing, running out all night and carrying a bucket of water back, isn't it the waves that make him feel bad.

Li Xuewu used the night fishing incident to ridicule him, isn't it just that he is not a good person.

"Why do you argue with him?"

Liu Yin came out of the house and called Li Xuewu, and glanced at the opposite door, and saw the same glance.

No need to ask, it must be the third aunt, she always looks at people like this secretly now, as if everyone is saying bad things about her family.

Liu Yin never talks about other people's family affairs outside, and when she talks to her family, it is to tell the children not to provoke them.

It's really rare to talk about their family. Who in this courtyard doesn't have a clear mind, so why do they need to tell them?

Li Xuewu rinsed his toothbrush and said to his mother: "It's okay, say hello when you see each other, don't think we did something wrong and feel guilty."

"You are the only one who has a lot of tricks"

How could Liu Yin not understand her son? As soon as he said it, I understood. It turned out to be this.

After saying this to his son, he asked, "Xiao Ning said he would be back soon? Why are you so busy?"

"I was just thinking about telling you."

Li Xuewu glanced at the room and whispered to his mother about what the couple had discussed the day before yesterday.

The eldest sister-in-law called Ji Yuxiu back from the east courtyard. Seeing the mother and son talking, she was about to hide, but saw Li Xuewu waving.

"What's the matter?"

"Go ahead."

Liu Yin was also very embarrassed to speak. She was relieved that her son was sensible and knew how to take care of the old lady's emotions.

On the other hand, she was embarrassed to "calculate" the old lady with her son and daughter-in-law.

As a daughter-in-law, she had never had a quarrel with the old lady in her life.

If you say that the relationship is like that of a real mother and daughter, that's just what you say, but it's rare for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law to do this.

Anyway, Liu Yin never lied to the old lady, let alone coax her to do anything.

Let her son talk about it today. From his perspective, this is the right way to deal with it.

But she couldn't get over it, and it was even harder to say it in front of her eldest daughter-in-law.

Ah, in front of her daughter-in-law, she, as a daughter-in-law, deceived her mother-in-law with her son. How would her daughter-in-law treat her in the future?

Anyway, she couldn't say it, although her son's reason was correct.

Zhao Yafang was confused, and Ji Yuxiu followed behind, thinking something had happened.

Li Xuewu saw the eldest sister-in-law coming and had an idea in his mind.

While explaining the cause of the matter, he stared at the eldest sister-in-law, waiting for her to finally tell him his plan.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yafang just listened to the beginning and pulled Ji Yuxiu back to the East Courtyard to wash her face.

Why wash? Their faces had just been washed and were clean. They were hiding on purpose.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "If you don't help, I can only embarrass Mom."

"You are such a good son to your mother!"

Zhao Yafang knew she was confused. What was so strange about seeing a mother and son discussing something?

If she didn't stand still and act out of curiosity, how could this happen to her?

She was supposed to be an assist, but she ended up being the main attacker.

Zhao Yafang knew that Li Xuewu was kind and for the good of the old lady.

If this matter was placed on her, she would have to do the same. She and Li Xuewu were both smart people, and their ideas were the same.

But it would be better if she wasn't the one who took the lead in doing this.

You can say that the old lady is over 60 years old. There is nothing she doesn't understand.

Especially when it comes to these things at home, the little ones are naughty, and the old lady knows everything.

If she really asks her to speak up, she will be embarrassed to say it in front of the old lady. How can she be open-minded in the future?

"You owe me this favor"

Zhao Yafang knew she couldn't escape. She was the eldest daughter-in-law, and she couldn't let Li Xuewu embarrass her mother-in-law.

In fact, she also knew that even if she didn't say anything, her mother-in-law wouldn't be embarrassed much, at most she would bow down to the old lady.

But she was a daughter-in-law, and she had to bow down to her mother-in-law.

So, she had to be the one to force the issue.

She came, but she felt uncomfortable. She had to ask Li Xuewu for a favor and return it later.

What?

Can she ask Li Xuewu for a house or land?

No, as a family, she needs it, and Li Xuewu doesn't need her to ask.

What she meant by this was that if she encountered a problem like Li Xuewu today in the future, he would have to come forward to solve it.

Li Xuewu felt that this deal was not a loss, so he nodded and agreed with a smile, and kept thanking her, saying that his sister-in-law had worked hard.

Ji Yuxiu had just woken up, and she didn't hear a few numbers, but she didn't know how the deal was concluded.

What the hell, what are you talking about?

After entering the house, the dining table was placed on the kang, and everyone washed their hands and ate, but no one mentioned this.

It was not until after breakfast when Li Xuewu came back from the back house that the eldest sister-in-law told Li Xuewu about the old lady staying at home.

"You see, I am getting older and older, and Li Xue and Yuxiu have to go to work, and mom can't handle it alone."

Zhao Yafang's acting is really good. She discussed with Li Xuewu in a very friendly tone: "There is another person living in the backyard who is about the same age as me. Don't you want to think about it?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Xuewu's acting skills are at the level of an actor. He didn't play dumb or act stupid at this moment, which is naturally the best.

With his cleverness and the old lady's understanding of him, playing dumb would only expose himself.

"Let grandma live with us?"

"I'm just saying it"

Zhao Yafang also understood Li Xuewu's rhythm. Seeing him attack, she took a step back and looked at the old lady.

The old lady was also a little stunned at this moment, not knowing why, why did they talk about her.

Looking at the second grandson and his wife who had been with her for a few months, and then looking at the eldest grandson's wife who had already decided to come back to serve, the old lady was also confused.

"I mean to look after the old lady. The weather will get colder and colder in the future, and it will be more difficult to go back and forth. I hope the old lady can stay at home."

"Sister-in-law, what can I say?"

Of course, Li Xuewu couldn't show an embarrassed look, but just followed the words of the eldest sister-in-law and said: "Everywhere is home, my grandma is not your grandma?"

"I think so~"

Liu Yin knew that it was time for her to speak, so she pulled the old lady's hand and said: "The eldest grandma's wife is about to give birth, and I don't know if you are not at home."

Well, the words have been laid out, and it depends on how the old lady will come down.
