Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Alas~ Half of the body is buried in the ground, but it has become a treasure"

The old lady waited for everyone to finish speaking, then she smiled and sighed.

Seeing that her children and grandchildren were about to speak, she nodded and said: "Yafang is about to give birth, but Xiaoning is also heavier."

She looked down at Li Shu who was sitting next to her playing with toys, and said: "The child is still young, and Qin Jingru is alone, how can I rest assured."

"I know you are worried about my health. When people get old, they can't rely on their muscles and bones. I pay attention to it."

"Come back, come home, I dream of living at home."

The old lady smiled and looked at Liu Yin and said: "Even if you don't urge me, I have to come back. I am really old."

"Grandma, we are not like this..."

Before Zhao Yafang finished her words, the old lady waved her hand to stop her, and nodded at her and said: "You are not as cunning as Xuewu, can you play better than him?"

After that, she smiled and looked at Li Xuewu and said: "When will you grow up~"

"Just joking~"

Just when the eldest sister-in-law looked at him with a glare, Li Xuewu smiled and dodged the kick from the eldest sister-in-law.

"You bad boy!"

Zhao Yafang was also amused by him and said angrily: "So you are teasing us~"

"That's really not~"

Li Xuewu assured: "Who would have thought that our old lady has a sharp eye, which makes me, Sun Wukong, have nowhere to hide."

"You really are!"

Liu Yin also pinched her son with anger. It turned out that he was the one who directed this in the morning.

Everyone in the room also reacted. Li Xuewu didn't intend to deceive the old lady. If he wanted to deceive, he would deceive himself. How could he let so many people know?

He coaxed Liu Yin and Zhao Yafang, and deliberately let them play a scene, betrayed the flaws to the old lady, and let the old lady understand his intentions.

This is coaxing and making trouble. The old lady knows that her grandson is doing it for her good. She is not angry, but warm in her heart.

In the end, Zhao Yafang and Liu Yin were left in the middle, otherwise how could they be kicked and pinched by the two.

"My second brother is bad!"

Ji Yuxiu seemed to have just understood it, and smiled with her mouth covered: "No wonder I felt confused at the beginning, my second brother did it on purpose!"

"Beat!"

Li Shu saw Baba being beaten by the aunt and grandmother, and she also stood up excitedly, her little face flushed and shouted to beat~beat~

"She is so lively!~"

The old lady was also amused by the liveliness in the room and laughed with her mouth covered.

Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu with a scolding look, and she was also kept in the dark.

Just now, I saw Li Xuewu whispering with his mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law outside the door, and I knew what he was going to do.

After breakfast, when she saw the eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law talking, she was still afraid that the old lady would be too worried, and she was also nervous.

Unexpectedly, this was all planned by Li Xuewu long ago, otherwise why would Ji Yuxiu say that she was confused, and when did this man make an unprepared decision.

It would be absolutely perfect, but this person pays attention to the layout and calculation of everything he does, so how could he hand over the decision-making power of things to others.

"I'm going home, what should I do with the child?"

After the old lady laughed, she asked Li Xuewu again: "Qin Jingru can't handle it alone."

"Then find another one..."

Before Li Xuewu finished speaking, he saw his mother staring at him.

"You have money to burn~"

Liu Yin really couldn't stand her son's consumption concept.

If you need something, buy it; if you need something, buy it; if no one wants to do it, buy it…

Anyway, if he needs it, or doesn’t have time to do it, or doesn’t want to do it, then spend money to hire someone.

She disagreed with her son’s theory that time is money.

What? You get paid based on time at work? !

You are wrong. Time does not determine salary!

Of course, she didn’t know how valuable her son’s time was. Even if she knew, she would not be willing to give it up.

“If you want to spend more time with your children, I’ll tell you one thing.”

Liu Yin sat on the edge of the kang and said to Li Xuewu and Gu Ning: “You can take a longer detour to go to work in the morning and send the children here, and pick them up after get off work in the evening.”

“If you don’t have time or are too late, then let the children live here. It doesn’t matter if you stay for one or two nights.”

“Old lady, what do you think?”

After she finished talking about her son and daughter-in-law, she looked at the old lady again, wanting to ask for her opinion.

Li Xuewu wanted to say that it was not necessary, but his mother didn’t give him a chance to refute.

The old lady nodded now: "If I say that we keep Li Shu together, it would not be appropriate. This method is good, it has the best of both worlds."

"Then let's do it this way"

Liu Yin made the final decision, waved her hand to her son, and said: "Pack up the old lady's things and send them back together, including Li Shu's daily necessities."

"Xiao Ning"

She didn't have to worry about her son's feelings, but she had to explain it clearly to her daughter-in-law: "Mom said this, you don't have any objection, right?"

What could Gu Ning have any objection to? The mother-in-law and the old lady said this to leave time for Qin Jingru to take care of her.

She didn't have time to thank them for taking the initiative to help take care of the children.

"I have no objection, I will listen to you."

"It's done!"

Liu Yin nodded at Li Xuewu and said: "Don't do these things to me in the future, you have taught the child badly!"

"I really... feel wronged"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Is it wrong for me to be afraid of your hard work?"

"My granddaughter is mine, I am willing to work hard"

Liu Yin pushed him with a scolding tone, saying: "Stay away from me, do what you need to do!"

"Yes~"

Zhao Yafang said gloatingly: "This is called tit for tat~"

"Hehe~I am willing~"

Li Xuewu quarreled with his sister-in-law, and then told Gu Ning that he would go home after dinner.

Gu Ning knew that he had something to do on Sunday. Not only did he have to make connections after being away on business for more than half a month, but he also had to do some work that she knew but did not understand.

The family was very rich, and it was not enough to rely on Li Xuewu's two salaries.

Just say that after the autumn, the family had been sent food and living expenses by Shen Guodong one after another.

The coal was brought in by trucks, and it was piled up under the courtyard wall. There must be six or seven tons of coal.

Anyway, the coal in the truck was unloaded, and the coal blocks were better than coal balls.

Qin Jingru got off work at around seven in the evening. She filled up the can before leaving, and filled it up again before Li Xuewu went to bed at night. She covered it with a lid and it could be heated until morning.

Just say that burning coal, whose salary can afford it.

Where does the money come from?

Gu Ning doesn't care. Just like she and Ji Yuxiu joked, her salary is in the drawer anyway, and she only sees more, not less.

Li Xuewu is the head of the family. He said that if you live in a big house, you must have the ability to live in a big house. She doesn't care if you can't live in the backyard of the courtyard.

This is called marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog, marrying a monkey and walking all over the mountain.

Li Xuewu has never asked her for salary, nor has he made any restrictions on the quality of life. She has no reason and intention to interfere and investigate where Li Xuewu's money comes from.

If she needs to worry about the way to make money, then she would not choose Li Xuewu in order to make everything go smoothly and save trouble.

So, if Li Xuewu said he wanted to go out to work, she would not care, let alone restrict him.

As long as they go home on time at night, this is the bottom line of mutual trust between the two.

What if they can't come home on time?

What can she do? She can't beat Li Xuewu, so what can she do?

If Li Xuewu can't come home on time, he will explain to her, and the reason must satisfy her.

There is no need for her to get angry and show off her temper. Even if it is a lie, it is necessary to say so.

Li Xuewu still satisfied her in this regard, and he rarely came home late.

Now that Li Xuewu said that he would come back after dinner to pick them up, she agreed, but just told him to be careful not to get cold.

Li Xuewu didn't care about showing affection in front of his family, but if he really made a close gesture, he was afraid that Gu Ning would settle accounts with him at night.

He smiled and blinked, causing Gu Ning to turn her head and ignore him, and then he went out.

"Hey, Xuewu, go out~"

"Hey, uncle, what are you doing?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed to the mud trowel in his hand and explained: "I borrowed it from the neighboring courtyard. The window of the deaf old lady in the backyard is leaking. I got some mud to smear it again."

After he said that, he glanced at the Li family behind Li Xuewu and asked: "Is your father not back?"

"I am busy with work in the mountains. The Chinese medicine hospital has a herbal medicine project to do and can't come down."

Li Xuewu explained and pointed to the door, saying: "Okay, you are busy. Just let me know if you have anything."

"Hey! Xuewu"

Yi Zhonghai stopped Li Xuewu who was about to take a step and said: "I just remembered that I really have something to discuss with you."

He raised his chin to indicate the gatekeeper behind him and said: "It's winter now. Is our gatekeeper system..."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai hesitated again: "You are not old and come back. Logically, I shouldn't bother you."

"It's okay, I'm still in the courtyard."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Pay what you need to pay, and ask Guodong to arrange for people to come."

He pointed to the room behind him and said, "Yuxiu also lives in the courtyard, especially the gatehouse, it's better to be tight."

"Okay, I feel relieved after hearing your words."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "There is no need to build a new kang this year, there is no need, it's just coal and firewood."

He also understood the situation and waved his hand and said, "This year, each family will share the cost, and the back house can no longer be used. It's unfair and easy to cause disputes."

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't think that such a small amount of firewood would be a big deal.

But the uncle was kind-hearted. Last year, the firewood for this fire was provided by the back house, because it was the second half, and there was no place to set rules.

After using firewood for a whole winter, no one praised the back house for anything. The uncle was also afraid that Li Xuewu would say that they were wasting their efforts.

Now, let's share the burden, either by providing people, labor or money.

Li Xuewu chose to pay, of course, because the people who live in the house are all women, so who can go to the gatehouse?

Liu Yin has a lot of things to do during the day, and she doesn't want to go to the gatehouse to talk about wives, so why bother for this little money?

"Think about it, and tell Guodong if you need anything. If there is something inappropriate and you need Yuxiu, just go to her directly."

This is nothing more than a response to the uncle's words of rest assured, he knows what the uncle means.

As the two were talking, Qin Huairu came out with Xiaodang and Huaihua, and they were about to go out.

Seeing the two standing in the yard and talking, she greeted them.

After asking the reason, Qin Huairu also agreed to continue the gatehouse system this winter.

Anyway, there are people in every household in the yard. At night, the young men go to the gatehouse to sleep, and everyone feels at ease. During the day, the wives go to the gatehouse to chat and the house is quiet.

It's nothing more than warm money. Those who don't have money contribute to duty, and those who have money contribute money for peace of mind.

The current situation is not very good. If something happens, everyone will feel uncomfortable. We don’t care about this little money.

Li Xuewu listened to her talk, smiled and gestured to Banggan, who was standing at the third door of the central courtyard with a pout, and asked Qin Huairu, "What's going on?"

"Don't pay attention to him"

Qin Huairu explained angrily and funnyly: "Let him do his homework, just for fun."

"My brother didn't finish his homework"

Huaihua raised her little head and looked at Li Xuewu as she chirped and explained: "My mother takes us shopping without him~"

"Yeah~"

Li Xuewu looked at the little girl, responded with a smile, and then waved to the resentful woman over there: "Come here!"

"Uncle Wu!"

Banggan had finally found an organization, and he trotted out of the door and arrived in front of Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at him funny and asked, "How are you doing?"

"ah?"

Banggeng ran over, expecting Uncle Wu to ask him about his homework, but he didn't expect to ask about the chicken.

"It's okay!"

He no longer looked droopy as before, raised his big fat face, and said: "Yesterday, that unlucky kid in the next yard stood on the wall and threw stones, and the chicken was still cursing!"

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu smiled and slapped him on the head. This kid was really being ignored.

"I'm going to the club, will you go?"

"go!"

Banggeng was restricted by his mother to the gate of the middle courtyard just now, and she was told not to step out of the middle yard until she finished her homework, otherwise her butt would explode!

Now that Uncle Wu is helping him break the precept, there's no way he wouldn't want to.

Not to mention going to the club where you can eat and have fun, even going out to work feels better than staying at home.

"What are you going to do!"

Qin Huairu glared at Li Xuewu angrily and said, "He hasn't even finished his homework yet, so you're making trouble!"

"What does it have to do with me that he didn't finish his homework?"

Li Xuewu looked at Qin Huairu with a smile and said, "It's okay if he completes the homework I assigned him~"

"Fuck you! You are the bad guy~"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Are you responsible for my son not going to college?"

After saying that, he went to play Banggeng: "Banggeng, go home and do your homework quickly, don't wait for me to slap you~"

"Mom~"

Banggeng said helplessly: "How can you say that about my Uncle Wu? I think he is right."

After saying that, he saw that his mother really wanted to strangle him, so she hurriedly hid behind the uncle, with her head exposed from the side, and emphasized to herself: "Tell me, tell yourself, is it too much to expect me to get into college?"

"With my grades, let alone college, I don't have confidence even in middle school!"

His little mouth is really powerful, dodging left and right around the first master and Li Xuewu, just not giving his mother a chance to catch him.

"I advise you to face reality, let me go, and let yourself go. Why should we two kill each other because of what we can't get?!"

"Awesome! Mom is angry!"

Qin Huairu couldn't catch up with him, so she stood there and stared, but when Banggeng saw that she stopped chasing him, she ran out of the yard.

"Mom! Calm down, I'll punish myself by not coming to the house for a day!"

The words are still there, but the person has disappeared. If I guessed correctly, Banggeng has already arrived in front of Li Xuewu's car.

"It's all your fault!"

Qin Huairu couldn't catch her son, so she was especially angry when she saw the first uncle and Li Xuewu standing aside and watching the fun.

Especially Li Xuewu, he was the one who started it. Without him, he would have gone home to do his homework earlier.

Actually, Qin Huairu is angry now, but the real situation is not only known to Li Xuewu, even she herself knows it.

Now that she's gone, Banggeng can really do his homework obediently?

Just like what Bangge said about her just now: Stop dreaming!

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Qin Huairu's complaints, and commented with a smile: "I think Bangge has more business talent than you. At least he knows the principle that sunk costs should not be wasted anymore."

"screw you!"

Qin Huairu understood what he said, which meant that her son was self-aware and would definitely not be admitted to junior high school. He was not willing to spend any effort studying at this moment.

"Banggen turned out to have very good academic performance, but it's just your two chickens that made him stop studying!"

"You are such a stickler!"

Li Xuewu gestured to the elder in a funny way and said: "You don't want to go to the courtyard to inquire. The young master in your family is not naturally compatible with Wen Quxing. Don't talk to me about it."

Yi Zhonghai knew he was joking, so he nodded and went to the backyard with a smile.

Qin Huairu couldn't be said by Li Xuewu, and angrily said: "Don't take him to play, he is wild-minded, and I can't control him anymore!"

"Okay okay"

Li Xuewu agreed and walked out with a good attitude.

But when Qin Huairu walked out of the gate, he saw Li Xuewu driving his son out of the alley.

Banggeng saw his mother looking at him and waving around excitedly.

Qin Huairu was angry and laughing at the same time. She really wanted to give up this bastard son.

And Li Xuewu is also a loser and insists on going against her.

Huaihua looked enviously at her brother who was sitting in the car and leaving. She turned to her sister and asked, "What did our brother do?"

"Let's go play~"

Xiao Dang curled his lips and said, "I went to the club with Uncle Wu."

"What is a club?"

Huaihua didn't understand and looked at the young lady blankly.

I have never been there when I was a kid, but I heard my brother brag about it, and I just thought it was like a fairyland on earth, which was really fun.

"It's just a place for children who don't like studying to play."

"I want to go too……"

Huaihua doesn't quite understand why children who don't like studying can have so much fun.

Qin Huairu heard the discussion of the two children, held their hands and said, "We won't go, ah, mom will take you to buy delicious food, not for your brother."

Huaihua raised her head and looked at her mother without saying anything, but Xiaodang was staring in the direction of the alley in a daze.

The world is always unfair. Even if his brother doesn't study, his grandma and mother love him at home. Even if he doesn't work hard, there are adults who like him and play with him.

As a child, she felt the unfairness of life more than once.

——

"Hey~ Where's the fairness~"

Huang Qian took a long puff of cigarette, lit ashes in the ashtray, and told the angrily Zhong Jingxue sitting next to him about the importance of connections.

"Listen to what my brother is telling you. What does it mean that the wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the waves become between the gentle waves?"

He shook his head with excitement and said: "First, learn from Brother Xue's wise eyes, learn from Brother Xue's eyes like a bourgeois, and learn..."

"Learn from your single eyelids, right~"

Zhong Jingxue rolled his eyes and said, "You are three months younger than me, who are you with?"

"Hey! You don't understand this!"

Huang Qian nodded at him as if he understood, and said: "People management, if you don't understand, you should humbly ask for advice. Why call me brother? I haven't asked you to call me teacher yet~"

"Should I call you teacher?"

Zhong Jingxue grabbed the billiard cue in Li Bai's hand and was about to attack him. He said angrily: "You just got an advantage and behaved like us here!"

"Hahaha~"

Huang Qian dodged away, stood behind the sofa and joked: "Alas~ the inventory has been cleared, the orders have been scheduled for next year, there is really nothing we can do~"

"I also want to be humble!"

He spread his hands and deliberately angered Zhong Jingxue from the Third Prison in Xicheng: "It's a pity that my strength doesn't allow it~"

"Go, go, go, wait and see, I'm annoying you to death~"

Zhong Jingxue wiped his eyelids and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned to look at Ma Jun and said, "You are so complacent that you are not a good person!"

"Haha~"

Ma Jun and others watched the two of them playing and laughed.

When they saw Li Xuewu's car entering the courtyard just now, everyone started talking about a prison that received an order from the steel rolling mill.

Not just quilt orders, but also various other gadgets, including the two main products, red books and document paper.

The inventory that Li Xuewu transferred when he went to Yangcheng has been liquidated, which does not allow Huang Qian not to pretend to be in front of a few bad friends.

Zhong Jingxue was really angry. He saw that one prison was making a lot of money with its back to the steel rolling mill. It was the same unit. How could he sit still?

He shouted that it was unfair, but he couldn't help but look at Huang Qian's triumphant look.

"Hey~hey~look, who's here!"

Huang Qian pointed to the door on the second floor with both hands and said loudly: "My God of Wealth is here!"

“Don’t just talk but don’t practice”

Li Xuewu saw him making trouble, and while greeting his classmates on the second floor, he called Huang Qianzhen "Master."

Huang Qian's mouth twitched at Li Xuewu's retort, and he wanted to take advantage of the handshake to squeeze him hard, but then he remembered that Li Xuewu was very powerful.

Seeing Li Xuewu's joking look, he retracted his hand angrily, patted his back awkwardly, and said, "Hey, we were just talking about you~"

"What did you say about me?"

Li Xuewu greeted Ma Jun and others, smiled with Li Bai who was on duty upstairs, and then sat on the sofa.

"Say hello~"

Huang Qian motioned to Zhong Jingxue over there and said, "Jingxue misses you so much that he goes crazy."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed again when they thought of Zhong Jingxue's appearance just now.

Zhong Jingxue didn't care about this. He sat next to Li Xuewu and took the initiative to light a cigarette.

"Li Tuan, brothers don't ask for a bowl of water to be balanced, but you have to give it a chance."

He motioned to Huang Qian over there and said, "Seeing him so triumphant makes me hate him so much."

"what's going on?"

Li Xuewu looked at everyone funny, then looked at Zhong Jingxue, and asked: "What's one bowl of water and two bowls of water?"

"It's just an order~"

Zhong Jingxue looked at Li Xuewu longingly and said, "Didn't your factory go to Yangcheng this time to get a lot of orders? Isn't there anything that can't be finished and arrange arrangements for our prison?"

"oh?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Didn't Huang Gan tell you?"

"What, what are you talking about?"

Zhong Jingxue looked at Li Xuewu in a daze and felt that something was wrong.

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Qianye's confused eyes and said, "There are furniture and other orders to be assigned to your third prison. I told Huang Qian."

"When..."

Huang Qian felt that something was wrong as soon as Li Xuewu opened his mouth, and it was already too late to defend himself.

Zhong Jingxue jumped up from the sofa, like an angry bird.

"Li Tuan, please sit down for a moment. After the Sa family kills this guy first, I don't want Bilian to accompany you again!"

"Hey! You are stupid!"

When Huang Gan saw that Zhong Jingxue was really going to mess with him, he quickly jumped up and ran to the pool table. As he ran, he said, "Do you think I can know! He lied to you!"

"Nonsense! You bad guy!"

Zhong Jingxue is also deliberately funny: "To this day, you are still stubborn and stubborn. If you have wronged others, you can only retaliate. If you have wronged me, the God of Wealth, you will definitely be left with nothing to eat!"

"Get out~ get out~"

When Huang Gan saw Zhong Jingxue holding a billiard cue and trying to poke his butt, he ran faster, fearing that he would be killed.

When Li Bai saw the two of them acting like children, he covered his eyes and hid. That action was too eye-catching.

Everyone in the room looked at the two of them as if they were playing tricks. The grown man laughed and laughed like a child.

"Brother Wu, when did you come back?"

They were making trouble, and Li Xuewu was watching. While he was laughing, someone suddenly sat down next to him, and a crisp greeting came to his ears.

"Haha, it's been a few days"

Li Xuewu turned around and saw that Luo Yun was chattering, and Zhou Xiaobai also came over and sat aside.

This girl's eyes were fixed on Li Xuewu. It was obvious that Li Xuewu looked at her, then blushed and ran away.

Luo Yun glanced at her, she was not the one who took the initiative to come to Brother Wu just now, but now she pretended to be there and sat next to him.

What are you doing? Why don't you dare to sit on the other side?

She also knew what her friend was thinking. She smiled and said a few words to Li Xuewu, then stood up to see Brother Huang and the others making trouble.

Seeing Luo Yun leaving, Zhou Xiaobai glanced at the empty seat between him and Li Xuewu, and hesitated whether to sit there.

In other words, she was a little confused about finding a reason to sit there.

At this time, Li Xuewu patted the sofa next to him and asked her with a smile: "Why are you sitting so far away, pretending not to know her?"

"Who pretended~"

The corners of Zhou Xiaobai's mouth curled up slightly, obviously happy that Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet her.

At this moment, he followed Li Xuewu's words and moved his buttocks to sit next to him.

"When did you come back?"

Her heart was pounding, and she tried her best to calm down. She was thinking of something to say, but this sentence came out out of nowhere.

"..."

Li Xuewu looked at her funny, and when her ears turned red from embarrassment, he said, "It's been a few days."

"..."

Now it was Zhou Xiaobai's turn to be speechless. This answer was so familiar, as if he had heard it just now.

Yes, Li Xuewu felt that this question was very familiar. He had heard it just now.

Zhou Xiaobai unnaturally smoothed her hair around her ears, lowered her head and pinched her fingers. At this time, she could get into any hole in the ground.

"No more playing~ No more playing~"

Huang Qian waved his arms and hugged Zhong Jingxue, and said, "Brother is wrong. If I don't lie to you, I really don't know."

Zhong Jingxue was pushed back to the sofa by him and curled his lips and said, "You are not a good person."

"I...what the hell..."

Huang Qian was really speechless. He pointed to Li Xuewu sitting on the sofa and asked: "Do you think he is a good person?!"

"That is!"

Zhong Jingxue glanced at him and said, "Brother Wu is not a good person, are you?"

"Hey! You learn quickly!"

Huang Qian was referring to the unspoken rules he gave to the other party for interpersonal communication, but he didn't expect Zhong Jingxue to use them here.

"But your attitude that if you have breasts, you're a mother, I find it really uncomfortable. You've changed!"

"joke!"

Zhong Jingxue looked at him and asked: "I am upright, how about you give me the order?"

"That won't work!"

Huang Gan tilted his head and said, "What can I give you to eat?"

"It's still true!"

Zhong Jingxue rolled his eyes and said: "A well-fed man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry. Stop talking sarcastically~"

After saying that, he changed his face and looked at Li Xuewu, saying: "Brother Wu, how many orders have you arranged for our prison?"

"Didn't Huang Gan tell you?"

Li Xuewu still had the same tone. Before he finished speaking, Huang Qian had already rushed towards him and wanted to cover his mouth.

Zhou Xiaobai was sitting next to Li Xuewu and was suddenly startled when Huang Gan rushed towards him.

When she came to her senses again, Brother Huang was already in the position of blocking a bullet hole, with his upper body on her legs.

"If you want me to die, just say so. Why go to all this trouble?"

Huang Qian reached for Li Xuewu's arm with a cry-like voice and complained: "Look at him, he is as jealous as a rabbit. If you tease him again, he will really kill me."

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu chuckled and patted his hand. Seeing him being helped away by Zhou Xiaobai and others, he said: "There are too many orders, I can't remember them."

Just when Zhong Jingxue thought Li Xuewu was still joking, he heard the other party say: "Anyway, it will keep you busy for three years."

"Aha!"

Zhong Jingxue laughed as if Fan Jin had passed the exam, grabbed Li Xuewu's hand, shook it, and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Xuewu smiled and threw away his hand in disgust, motioned to Ma Jun and asked, "What's wrong with this? It wasn't like this before."

After speaking, he turned to Zhong Jingxue and asked, "Where was your coldness before?!"

"What a cold person! Everything can change when it comes to actual work."

Zhong Jingxue said with a smile on his face: "How about you give us more orders and I can sing a song for you?"

"Okay~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Bribery is not enough, so threats are the answer, right?"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed out loud after listening to Li Xuewu's words. They really couldn't imagine Zhong Jingxue's singing being so unpleasant.

Ma Jun sat aside and explained with a smile: "In the past, everyone was like this, competing against each other, and no one was much better than anyone else."

"But, suddenly someone started to make a high-profile statement about reforming labor, creating benefits, and becoming self-reliant."

"Look at it now. The higher-ups have started to assign targets to each prison. They must find projects to develop the economy and save financial funds."

He explained this and pointed to Zhong Jingxue, "He should be content. At least he still has a furniture factory. Some have started to think about setting up farms."

"Why should I be content?"

Zhong Jingxue pointed to Huang Gan who was sitting opposite him and said, "When I think of him making money sitting at home, I feel worse than if I lost money!"

"Thank you so much!"

Huang Gan gritted his teeth and said, "You are really my good brother!"

Ma Jun commented from the side, "He is afraid that his brothers will suffer, and he is also afraid that he will suffer more than his brothers."

"Brotherhood is perfect~"

Li Bai took the cue and wiped it with a rag, disliking the dirty play of the two just now, and said: "You two are really good at comparing badness to each other~"

"Bad? Who is bad as Xuewu!"

Huang Gan was dissatisfied: "He is just used to disguising himself with the mask of a good person!"

After saying that, he pointed at Zhou Xiaobai who was sitting next to Li Xuewu, and warned: "Stay away from him, he is not a good person, be careful to be bought by him and help him count money."

"It's okay, I'm good at counting money"

Zhou Xiaobai seemed to not understand what he said, and was still showing off.

"Hehe~"

Huang Gan was amused by her and asked: "What if you are bewitched by him, why is he so good?!"

Zhou Xiaobai lowered his head and didn't speak, answering Huang Gan's question silently.

Li Xuewu smiled and patted her arm, and warned: "Did you hear that, your brother Huang said that I am a bad guy wearing a mask."

"Well"

Zhou Xiaobai nodded and said, "Then don't take off the mask."

"It's over, this girl is hopeless"

Huang Gan joked, "She's completely fallen for him, and he'll definitely sell her out later."

Li Xuewu smiled at Zhou Xiaobai, then turned to talk to Zhong Jingxue about the project.

It was already past eight when he arrived, and he went around the construction site in the backyard with Yu Li.

Because it was winter and frozen, civil construction was restricted, and only interior decoration could be done.

Fortunately, Dou Yaozu calculated the freezing time and the amount of work, so he could start with civil construction when the weather was warm, and do interior decoration when the weather was cold.

The disadvantage of this is that the construction period is long. Since June, construction has been going on here and it has not been completed.

The advantage is that it saves time and effort, and saves construction costs and time.

According to the original plan, it will be officially opened in May next year, and everything here will be completed by then.

If we don't hurry up now, it will be embarrassing if we can't finish it by then.

After visiting the construction site, he went to see the work of the management office and made an inspection like a leader.

This was the first time he inspected Yu Li's work level after she and Sister Lou handed over the shift. Yu Li was naturally nervous and serious.

Fortunately, Sister Lou and others had laid a good foundation, and she was trained in the recycling station, so she got started quickly.

Lou Yu came back, went to the mountain for a walk and came to the club to work.

It seemed that he really recognized the position of the club manager and started working when he came back.

It was not only him who came to work here, but also the heads of the other two families.

They were on a shift system, but Lou Yu was always there.

Li Xuewu had already set the rules for the relevant work system, and on this basis they discussed an opinion that was suitable for everyone and relatively fair.

Because they were restrained from each other, Li Xuewu was not afraid that they would do something fishy.

The key was that many important nodes were controlled by him.

Finance had been officially independent, and they absolutely could not touch the financial power.

Human resources were not here either, and in Gangcheng, they had no human resources power.

Administrative power does exist, but it is also limited. Li Xuewu told Yu Li and Su Qing that the office they set up was not for nothing.

He had a brief chat with Su Qing when he came today.

He didn't talk about Lao Biaozi, it was purely work.

This girl is indeed from the School of Finance and Economics. Although she hasn't graduated yet, she has some skills.

She may still be a little immature in the enterprise, but she is really tall in this kind of grass-roots team.

Yu Li's main job is still the management of the club, and the office should still be handed over to professionals.

She is also learning, learning this way of working and intensity.

Recently, she has not lived at home, but has stayed in the club, working day and night.

There are many rooms in this yard, so there is no worry about having no place to live, but it is not as comfortable as home.

The formal conversation with Lou Yu was already in the afternoon. He came out of Yu Li's room and went directly to the second floor to find him.

And Yu Li continued Sister Lou's tradition. The iron bed in that office was about to fall apart.

Thanks to Li Xuewu's thriftiness, his love for furniture, and his use of beds as little as possible, and sofas and desks as much as possible, the iron bed was saved.

Yu Li had never thought that the sofas and desks used in daily office work, and even the office chairs, had other uses. She was really impressed by the novel ideas in Li Xuewu's mind.

Really impressed.

After Li Xuewu left, she wanted to sit down, but when she looked at the bed, it was not suitable.

She looked at the office chair and felt even more embarrassed, and she didn't dare to look at it.

Then she looked at the sofa... Oh, when did the water spill not get wiped off...

It's not that there is no place to sit, nor that these places are dirty, but that something has been unlocked, her heart is broken.

Upstairs, Lou Yu, who was still working at her desk, saw Li Xuewu come in and felt flustered.

"What to drink?"

"Don't bother, I'll do it myself"

With Sister Lou not here, Li Xuewu and Lou Yu seem a little awkward to get along.

It's not anything else, it's just that the person they both care about is not here, they still miss her, but can't talk about it.

So Li Xuewu made tea for himself, sat opposite his cheap father-in-law, and sipped the tea in silence.

Lou Yu was also silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at the slightly warm sunshine outside the window, and said: "I regret it a little. The reason why my old daughter didn't teach her to do business since she was young was for her old age."

"Now I have to rely on my old daughter"

He turned around, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "It's good to have learned it, but she is under great pressure. I really don't know what to say."

"Contact more"

Li Xuewu didn't say anything. The person is gone. What's the point of saying these now? Can Sister Lou be exchanged back?

Even if he wants to change, I'm afraid Sister Lou will not be willing.

Other families have invested a lot of money, but the Lou family has invested the most.

The father and daughter should have discussed and communicated privately. They knew that they could not rely on Hong Kong City. If Sister Lou did not step up, her father would have to take the lead.

She was not young anymore. It was okay for her to do management work like a club. But if it was a big collective or a big enterprise, or in Hong Kong City, she was really afraid that her father would not be able to bear it.

Her father's health was not very good. The business world was like a battlefield. What if there was a setback and the relatives were not around?

Therefore, Li Xuewu respected Sister Lou's choice and hoped that Father Lou would respect the filial piety of a daughter and not always think about those unfilial descendants.

"I'm talking about Sister Lou"

He raised his head, looked at Lou Yu and emphasized: "You should understand what I mean."
