Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Hey! When did you come back?"

"It's rare~"

"Hello, Deputy Director Li~"

…

As soon as Li Xuewu got off the bus, from the alley to the courtyard, the greetings never stopped.

Some people even rushed to curry favor and went out in the cold weather when they heard the noise, just to say hello to him.

It is said that people in this era are simple and honest. Workers and leading cadres have the same status, and there is no hierarchy.

That being said, in fact, leading cadres have resources to allocate that workers cannot match.

Of course, wages are transparent, what kind of benefits are enjoyed by different levels, and what kind of rights are enjoyed by different statuses.

But cadres are different from cadres. Qin Huairu is also a cadre, a serious deputy section level cadre, but can you compare her with Li Xuewu?

How old was Li Xuewu when he was deputy section chief, and how old was he when he was deputy director?

If there is anything in the courtyard now, you can ask Ji Yuxiu, the director of Jiaodaokou Office, for local matters, and Qin Huairu for matters in the factory.

But there were some things that they couldn't solve even after asking them, so they really had to be polite to Li Xuewu.

"Oh, Deputy Director Li, I've been waiting for you!"

"Oh~ It's so rare!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Guangqi, who was standing in the hanging flower door, and asked, "What wind brought you back?"

"You criticize me!"

Liu Guangqi smiled sincerely and said, "I used to neglect my parents, and I really shouldn't have done that!"

"I admit my mistakes, I repent, I make amends, I make atonement for my sins..."

"Beep~Wait a minute~!"

Li Xuewu glanced at him doubtfully and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you okay?"

"I……"

"Ahem~"

Just when Liu Guangqi was about to explain, Yan Fugui came out of the house wearing a cotton-padded coat and heard a crack in the door.

"Haha, Xuewu is back?"

"Hey! What's going on in the courtyard today? The sun is coming out in the west!"

Li Xuewu looked at him again, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and asked: "The prodigal son from the end of the world has gone home. The fisherman came ashore on the weekend. What happened?"

"Hehe~ This is not unusual for me~"

Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and glanced at Liu Guangqi, who was a little embarrassed. He crossed his arms and said, "It's cold and I can't cut through the ice. I can't catch any fish. Isn't it worth the trouble? I might as well do something else."

After speaking, he looked at Liu Guangqi with a meaningful smile and said, "When Guangqi comes back, it must be about the house, right?"

"Third uncle, do you know why the blood vessels in your head exploded?"

Liu Guangqi curled his lips angrily and said, "Let me tell you, you are too lenient and take too much care!"

"You! Why are you talking!"

The teasing and playful expression on Yan Fugui's face instantly froze, he pointed at Liu Guangqi and said, "How do you expect to be assigned a room outside our courtyard?!"

"You, take care of yourself!"

Liu Guangqi curled his lips and glanced at him, then changed his smile and said to Li Xuewu: "Come on, it's not a coincidence today, and it's not convenient to talk. I'd like to treat you to a meal if it's convenient for you tonight."

"Well~ I have something to do today"

Li Xuewu first declined his invitation to eat, then looked at him and asked, "What house are you talking about?"

"You don't know?"

"impossible!"

Liu Guangqi glared and said, "Didn't the steel rolling mill say that it would build a collective building? It also said that workers would be placed and managed centrally."

"That's not right~"

After he explained, he looked at Li Xuewu doubtfully and said, "You are the leader of the factory. It is impossible for this matter to go through you."

"Yes, it is said that there are noses and eyes. I even asked about it, and they all said so!"

Yan Fugui stood aside and joined in the fun, looking at Li Xuewu eagerly with his little eyes, afraid that he would tell the news that the news was false.

Li Xuewu glanced at the two of them, made some gestures with his fingers, and asked, "How dare you all wait to share the house now?"

"That!……"

Just as Yan Fugui was about to speak, he glanced cautiously at Liu Guangqi, who was also about to speak, and they both held back their words at the same time.

Li Xuewu looked at the two of them funny, then glanced at the other people in the courtyard who were paying attention. He pursed his lips and nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, it's true."

"Look! I'll just say it's true!"

As soon as Li Xuewu finished speaking, a burst of excited exclamations came from the courtyard, but it seemed a little suppressed because of the window.

Yan Fugui, who was standing in the courtyard, was so happy that he almost jumped up and made a fool of himself.

It doesn’t matter what others say, it can only be gossip.

And Li Xuewu said, it was really like a red-fronted document issued by the factory.

He stretched out his cotton-padded jacket energetically, and did not bother to argue with Liu Guangqi. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "How are these houses divided? I heard that they are all big houses, and the youngest ones are all in their forties." It’s flat!”

"Well, ordinary employee buildings are divided into three levels: 40, 60 and 80 square meters."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and refused Liu Guangqi's offer to light cigarettes. He introduced: "Unlike the welfare improvement housing built now, this is considered to be built by the factory itself and needs to be replaced and compensated."

"What's the meaning?"

Not only Liu Guangqi and Yan Fugui were stunned, but also the other neighbors in the courtyard who stopped and stood listening to what they said.

Liu Guangqi asked anxiously: "Isn't it possible to directly allocate houses to employees?"

"What good things are you thinking of?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "Go around and ask around the city. Are there any factories that directly allocate housing to their employees?"

"Even if there are, there will be more people than enough. Please wait in line according to your size."

"The steel rolling mill is planning to build a large residential area this time. Have you heard of Workers' New Village?"

Seeing that everyone knew some and some did not know, Li Xuewu took out his cigarette case and lit one for himself, and then explained: "Married families can directly apply for residential buildings without waiting in line, and single workers can apply. lead apartment building."

"No~no~"

Yan Fugui raised his hand and grabbed Li Xuewu's wrist, and asked urgently: "Can both old and new workers apply?"

"Theoretically, as long as you are a worker in the steel rolling mill, you can apply for replacement and compensation replacement procedures."

Li Xuewu casually shook off his clenched hand, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "For example, in your family, Ge Shuqin has entered the factory. She can use her current house to apply to the factory for replacement. If it meets the requirement of 40 square meters, Live in the 40th stall..."

"What if you are not satisfied?"

Yan Fugui took a look at the small house where his daughter-in-law lived, and he couldn't calculate it at 40 square meters.

“Then we’ll compensate for the construction price difference.”

Li Xuewu blew out a puff of smoke, looked at him and said: "The factory is organizing the formulation of relevant calculation formulas, and I don't know the details."

"What's the point of that!"

Yan Fugui didn't wait for others to complain before he said it himself: "Isn't this the same as buying a house with your own money!"

"Why!"

Li Xuewu nodded at him, and without waiting for anyone else to respond, asked: "You have money now, can you buy a house?"

"besides!"

He looked at the others and reminded: "The residential building in Gongxincun has centralized free heating, guaranteed power supply, and is convenient for commuting to and from get off work. The residential area is under closed management, and all living services do not leave the residential area..."

"this……"

After hearing what he said, the others began to murmur in their hearts and calculated their own small accounts.

The abacus beads in Yan Fugui's stomach were flying, and he was calculating whether the cost of living here was higher or whether the replacement building would be higher.

The first is heating, which saves money on coal throughout the winter, not to mention the need to burn the stove and buy firewood.

Secondly, there is the transportation cost. The factory is right next to the residential area, so you can commute to and from get off work on your legs, which saves on bicycle and bus fees.

Then there is the living environment. The 40-square-meter building is not as spacious and bright as the 40-square-meter courtyard house, and it is also comfortable to live in.

Finally, there is the cost of food. There is a canteen in the factory, and you can open a small stove at home...

"Hey! Hey! Learn martial arts!"

Yan Fugui stood in front of other people who wanted to ask questions, and rushed to Li Xuewu to ask: "What if! I mean what if!"

He tried to emphasize: "If you don't want to live in this house after replacing it, can you let your family live in it?"

As soon as he finished asking this question, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

Especially those who stood close to him moved to the side unconsciously, as if they were afraid of getting shit on them.

"If you say this, I won't say anything."

Li Xuewu looked at him and smiled slightly, and said: "If you see 'if' and tell him for me, you still have to be conscientious."

"Haha~"

"Hahaha!"

First someone snickered, and then someone laughed loudly and carelessly, completely ignoring Yan Fugui who was there.

Liu Guangqi laughed the loudest, pointed at Yan Fugui and said: "Third uncle, your abacus is jumping on my face. I advise you to accumulate virtue and do good deeds!"

"What are you laughing at!"

Yan Fugui said angrily: "Didn't I say what if? Let me ask what's wrong!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked home. After taking two steps, he reluctantly looked back. He was particularly obsessed with the house.

After Liu Guangqi laughed at Yan Fugui, he took the initiative and asked: "Deputy Director Li, look at our family, can my dad apply?"

“It’s not like we apply now”

Li Xuewu glanced at him and knew what he meant. Liu Haizhong was still carrying a probation sentence, which would be lifted next year if there were no problems and he could resume his status as a worker in the steel rolling mill.

"Now we have just finalized the plan and completed the establishment of the project department. Even if we start construction at the beginning of the year, the building will not be completed until the second half of the year."

"Oh~oh~oh! I understand!"

Liu Guangqi nodded with a smile and said, "I was talking to my mother and father about this just now. If they can live in a building, it will be easier for me to take care of them."

"Are you serious?"

Li Xuewu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is your wife willing to live with your parents?"

"Hey~ who wouldn't want to live in a building?"

Liu Guangqi was honest in front of Li Xuewu: "There are kindergartens and primary schools in the residential area. It saves us two troubles if my mother takes care of the children."

Seeing the strange looks in his eyes, he laughed dryly and said, "Every family has its own problems that are difficult to recite. In the past, when my brother was at home, if I didn't go out and run around, I would have started a fight."

When the others heard what he said, they all nodded in understanding and did not say anything degrading to him.

This kid Liu Guangqi used to be very unpopular in the courtyard. He was a wolf cub.

No matter how good Liu Haizhong and his wife are to their eldest son, they cannot exchange for a word of concern and care.

After I found a job, I moved out from home early to save money for my family.

But thinking about it from another direction, if he doesn't leave, even if all three men in the family make money, they won't be able to expand the living area, and sooner or later there will be a lot of noise.

Although what Liu Guangqi said is realistic, it is also true. If there are three sons in the family, everyone will not have their own agenda.

As long as they are old enough and have their own thoughts, they all want to put them in their pockets.

Now Liu Haizhong's family's elderly care problem has suddenly become simpler. The younger son is eating "public food", the second son has been transferred to Steel City, and only the eldest son is by his side.

Liu Guangqi is such a smart person. Instead of moving bowls from home, why not just move them home and do it all directly?

The direction of his thinking is not wrong. No one can say that it is wrong. This is other people's lives.

Then don’t the other families in the yard have their own troubles?

Everyone was laughing at Yan Fugui just now. Thinking about it, I might not be as good as others.

For a while, everyone had no questions, and they dispersed to find rulers. First, they measured the area of ​​​​their homes and estimated how big a house they could buy.

Qin Huairu and Shazhu stood outside the hanging flower gate, waiting for everyone to leave before entering the courtyard.

"Good guy~ You blocked the courtyard door as soon as you came back. You're so big~"

"Deputy Director Li's visit has made our hospital shine!"

Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu teased Li Xuewu in unison, with smiles on their faces.

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette, looked at the two of them and asked, "Why don't you go home quickly and measure the dimensions? Don't you want to live in a building?"

“I don’t want to live~”

Silly Zhu shook his head and said seriously: "Even if you tell me about Hua'er, I won't live in that building!"

"That's why you're stupid~"

Li Xuewu blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "Everyone wants to live in a building, but you can't bear to part with this three-quarter acre of land."

"Hey! That's it!"

Silly Zhu raised his eyebrows and came closer and said softly: "As soon as I saw the way you spoke just now, I knew there must be something bad going on here!"

"Get out of here~"

Li Xuewu glanced at him angrily and said, "It's time for you to take medicine!"

"No need for you to remind me!"

Silly Zhu raised his head and said with a wicked smile: "Do you know what your expression looks like when you are lying to others?"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think I would lie to my neighbors?"

Li Xuewu gestured to the courtyard and said, "Who do you think I am!"

"Not a good person anyway"

Silly Zhu shook his head slightly and said: "I don't see what's wrong with this right now, and you don't deserve fame or fortune, but I just feel something is wrong."

"Um!"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and nodded, and said to Silly Zhu: "You need to increase the dose of medicine, now you are starting to have delusions of being persecuted."

"Come less~"

Silly Zhu waved his hand and asked Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, tell me, do you think there is any problem here?"

"Haha~ I think you have a problem"

Qin Huairu glanced at him with a smile and said: "People have said that it is a replacement application, and I am not forcing you to change, so what's the problem?"

"Is it wrong to bully me?!"

Silly Zhu shook his head, looked at Qin Huairu and asked, "Sister Qin, let me ask you, do you want to change?"

After speaking, he emphasized: "This residential building has come out. Are you willing to trade your house for the building in the factory?"

"Change it, why not change it?"

Qin Huairu looked at him and said, "You haven't had enough of the soot smell. Have you had enough of the urine bucket?"

"If someone passes by the gate and coughs, it will be heard in the backyard!"

"I don't know about you, but I don't care about this place anyway."

She twitched her lips and said seriously: "Houses are for living in. Why not choose one if you have better living conditions?"

"Is there a gold mine under your house?"

"..."

Silly Zhu was speechless by her rebuke. He turned his head to look at Li Xuewu who was smiling and asked, "Is there really nothing in here?"

"Yes, there is something big going on"

Li Xuewu stopped smiling, pretended to be serious and approached him and whispered: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else!"

"Okay~Okay~I won't tell"

Silly Zhu nodded seriously and promised: "I am the only one who knows that I have the strictest mouth."

"Yeah, come on"

Li Xuewu pulled his arm and whispered: "It is said that there is a gold mine under your house..."

"Go, go, go aside, Qie!"

Silly Zhu was so angry that he stammered and pushed Li Xuewu hard. He felt even more shabby when Qin Huairu laughed.

Liu Yin saw her son enter the hospital a long time ago, but she was tripped by someone in the hospital and she didn't come out.

At this moment, everyone dispersed. She walked out of the house wearing a cotton-padded jacket and greeted with a smile: "Huairu, why don't you come into the house? It's very cold outside."

After saying that, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Son, why are you here? Aren't you busy today?"

"I was just listening to him talk about the house."

Qin Huairu greeted with a smile, then gestured to the backyard and said, "Okay, you guys are still waiting at home."

"I have to go home too"

Silly Zhu winked at Li Xuewu, and then asked: "Are you free at noon or at night, on the hour?"

"What about lunch? Let's do it in the evening."

Li Xuewu responded with a smile: "We are all here tonight, let's have a good drink."

"I'm just waiting for your words."

Silly Zhu greeted Liu Yin with a smile and walked to the backyard.

Liu Yin looked at her son and asked, "Why are you back just now? Is something wrong?"

In the past, when Gu Ning's health allowed, they would go home to stay overnight on Saturday night, or go back on Sunday night, or go back on Monday morning.

Now that can't be done, the only option is for Liu Yin to find time to go to the shipping warehouse, or for Li Xuewu to come home on Sunday.

Even when I go home, it's usually in the afternoon or evening, and I rarely come home at this time in the morning.

Li Xuewu held his mother's shoulders and walked home. As he walked, he explained: "I came home this time to learn from the experience, and I have an important task on my shoulders."

"What are you talking about~"

When Liu Yin saw her son joking, she knew it was okay, so she smiled and said, "You're too grown up to look good."

"How old am I? I am also a child in front of you, am I a breast?"

"Hahaha~"

——

"What are you talking about in the front yard? It's so lively."

Delia has a big belly and no longer helps in the sales department. She prefers to lie on the hot bed when the weather is cold.

Seeing Silly Zhu enter the room, he pushed the teapot at hand and motioned for him to refill the water for him.

"Li Xuewu came back, and the third uncle and the others stopped him and asked him about building a house in the factory."

While explaining, he took off his clothes, picked up the teacup on the edge of the kang and went to the tea cabinet to refill the hot water.

"Because Liu Guangqi wanted to live in a building, he came back to discuss retirement matters with his parents, while the third uncle was planning to exchange Ge Shuqin's house for a building."

"Why?"

Delia lay on her side and asked: "Can the house be changed like this?"

"Who knows? Third uncle, you don't know yet?"

Silly Zhu put the teacup in his wife's hand, took off his shoes and got on the kang with his legs crossed, and said politely: "He is the one who knows how to make small calculations. He is such a smart person."

"What do you mean?"

Delia looked at him doubtfully and asked: "Instead of Ge Shuqin's house, where can orphans and widowers not be allowed to live in the building?"

"Maybe the building will be given to one of my sons. If he can't escape, it's Yan Jiefang who should go there. Now that he's grown up, it's time to get married."

Silly Zhu took his own teapot and took a sip, and said: "Forty square meters, you can't find a golden branch and jade leaf, haha."

After letting out a sneer, he curled his lips and said: "Ge Shuqin lives with them. Anyway, she won't be allowed to move out easily."

"Why?"

Although Delia's personality is a little introverted, she is also an open-minded person. She rarely has those crooked ideas. For a moment, she really didn't realize what the problem was.

"Why? For money~"

Silly Zhu looked at his wife and said: "The third uncle asked Yan Jiefang to take over but failed. Instead, Ge Shuqin joined the factory. Won't he start receiving wages now?"

"Just think about it, such a young widow can still get back her salary of thirty yuan a month even if she has a child!"

"Yeah~!"

Delia frowned slightly and said, "Why do you think so much!"

"Hey! Am I thinking too much?"

Silly Zhu drooped his eyelids and said, "That's what he thought. Otherwise, why do you think he asked if the replacement house could be used by his family?"

As they were talking here, the door of the east room clicked, and then the sound of slippers was heard.

When he raised his head, he saw a girl with her hair tied up in the rain, wearing only a tight sweater and woolen pants, walking from her own room.

"Just got up?"

“Get up early”

Yu Yu sniffled, looking a little sleepy. He went to the kang and felt the temperature under his sister-in-law's body, and said: "Be careful, don't sleep on a kang that is too hot."

"Your brother knows, so he won't burn more."

Delia pulled Yu Yu onto the kang, lifted the quilt and covered her legs, and asked: "Are you hungry? Let your brother give you some food."

"Stay strong when you're hungry!"

Silly Zhu pretended to be cruel and said: "If you don't sleep at night and don't wake up in the morning, how can you stay up?"

"I do~"

Yu Yu glanced at him impatiently, and then explained to his sister-in-law: "I'm not hungry, but I'm still a little sleepy. I was writing materials last night."

"Well, you are very diligent."

Silly Zhu got off the ground, pulled on his slippers and walked to the kitchen, mumbling disgusting words.

Yu Yu knew that her brother couldn't starve her, so she smiled and emphasized: "Just keep it simple, no need to steam the buns."

"It's so beautiful that snot bubbles are popping out of your nose! Eat the snot bubbles!"

Silly Zhu's voice came from the kitchen, making Yu Yu giggle.

Delia also watched the two brothers and sisters bickering in a funny way, stretched out her hand to hold her sister-in-law's hand, and persuaded her: "Why are you so tired? I wanted to talk to you when I got up last night, for fear of disturbing you."

"Oh~ I've been busy lately, so I have no time to put my feet on the ground."

Yuyu sighed and said: "The workshop production has just got on the right track, and it is time to start standardization and dual-plan work again."

She stretched a little tiredly, then leaned over and lay next to her sister-in-law, muttering: "The textile workshop is the most mature of the tertiary industry in the factory, and it is also the first and most basic production project to be launched. Let’s follow the example of other tertiary industry projects, we must have strict requirements everywhere.”

"Do you regret it?"

Delia didn't understand textile production, but she could probably understand her sister-in-law's hard work. She smiled, squeezed her hand, and said, "If it's too hard, just go back to the textile factory and work the same way."

"Oh~ I can't go back~"

Rainwater twisted his body and burrowed into the kang like a maggot. He looked at the roof of the shed tiredly and said: "There is a hole for each carrot. When I leave, someone will naturally fill the hole."

After speaking, he turned sideways, looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Besides, I don't want to go back. Sometimes I complain about the hard work, but if I think about it carefully, this busy life seems fulfilling."

"I'm worried about you"

Delia raised her hand and touched Yuyu's head and said, "In this state, you don't have time to think about personal issues."

"...right~"

Yuyu let out a long sigh, and said in an indescribably melancholy tone, "It seems like it's been a year."

Thinking about myself a year ago, was she busy with getting married, decorating a new house, purchasing daily necessities, and building her own small home?

In the blink of an eye, it was like a dream, the past disappeared, there was no marriage, and I was still alone.

Delia and Yuyu got along very well with each other. There was something that Silly Zhu couldn't say, but she could tell Yuyu.

Especially regarding Yu Yu's personal relationship issues, Sha Zhu could tell Yu Yu that he was in a hurry as soon as he made the right decision. The two brothers and sisters often quarreled over this issue.

Delia talked to Silly Zhu about this matter a lot, telling him to pay attention to his tone and manner, and not to talk about everything, especially not to talk about Li Xuewu every time, as long as he mentioned the name, Yu Yu would be anxious.

"You have to look forward, you can't live in the past."

She is not as old as Yu Yu, but when she talks, she looks mature, like a sister-in-law.

"We're not talking about finding a man to carry on the family lineage or supporting him, but living alone is always unsatisfactory, right?"

"Um"

Yuyu leaned in front of her. Listening to her sister-in-law saying this, she was thinking seriously, and she knew that her sister-in-law was doing it for her own good.

Delia knew that she had lost her mother since she was a child, and her father had left when she was older. She lacked the care of her parents. Like her, she had a somewhat stubborn personality.

"You think about it yourself. I told your brother that I will never force you to find a partner again, let alone urge you to get married."

"Thank you sister-in-law"

Yuyu smiled slightly, held her sister-in-law's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind~"

He glanced at the kitchen and said loudly on purpose: "It's a pity to give it to my brother!"

"Hey! I'm not good, right?"

Silly Zhu poked his head out of the kitchen and said in a pretentious manner: "I won't give you this meal even if it's for a dog!"

"Go and cook~"

Delia smiled and hit Silly Zhu, then hugged Yuyu and said: "Your brother's heart is divided into two parts now, one part belongs to me and one part belongs to you, so don't be angry with him."

As he spoke, he coaxed Yuyu and said, "It doesn't matter even if you don't want to look for me. Just live with your brother and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will protect you. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

"Hmm~"

Yu Yu's voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes were already moist. He lay beside his sister-in-law, feeling like he was relying on her.

Delia patted her arm like a child and said softly: "It suits you. If you really like him, then tell him."

"Let's be together if you want to. If you don't want to, give up. Anyway, your brother and I don't care about the nonsense. Whoever wants to say anything can say whatever they want. Just be happy."

"sister in law……"

Yuyu raised his head in surprise and looked at Delia, not expecting his sister-in-law to say these words.

Delia nodded, watching her sister-in-law shed tears, touching her hair distressedly and saying: "You are so worried that you are never satisfied with anyone, and you always have to compare with him."

"Sister-in-law is not a fool. You can always tell whether a man is good or not. If you like him, it shows that you have high vision and high pursuits. This is not a big mistake."

With that said, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sister-in-law's tears, and said: "A man like that is an eagle on the grassland. Anyone who doesn't fear and respect him will have girls competing for him even on the grassland." close to him”.

"Who robbed him..."

Yuyu pouted her lips and lay in her sister-in-law's arms again, but her heart was already in chaos.

Then he is not a good person, he is a bad guy, he is... a bad guy who messes up people's minds~

The word "rob" never appeared in her mind, let alone in her plan. She even doubted whether the bad guy knew that she liked him.

I have obviously worked very hard, trying to restrain myself, trying to be busy, trying not to think about him, let alone approach him.

She really didn't think about how to develop further, and she didn't dare to be unclear with him like Qin Huairu and Yu Li.

After all, it was different. At the beginning, she didn't understand why Li Xuewu wanted to have that kind of relationship with Qin Huairu.

I don’t even understand why it’s Yu Li, especially when Yan Jiecheng is still here and not yet divorced.

Life is a teacher with rich teaching experience, and time is a classroom with a rich classroom environment.

A year has passed, and it seems like nothing has changed. It seems like everything has changed.

She now works in a tertiary industry factory next to the steel rolling mill. The two sides share a service facility, so they naturally come into contact with each other more.

Sometimes he even asks Qin Huairu to go to and from get off work together, so he naturally knows her working environment and living conditions.

Qin Huairu seemed to have broken up with the bad guy, but it seemed that she had not broken up yet. The two of them were still communicating and joking normally when they met.

As for Yu Li, she heard that she was working there in Dongsi Shitiao, and she didn't know if she was going to stop or not.

This man was getting busier and busier, and he had less and less time to come back. Even at the steel rolling mill, it was impossible for her to see him.

So that kind of relationship is not the cause, but the current life is the cause. On the contrary, that kind of relationship is a flower that may wither at any time during the fruition process.

Qin Huairu has withered, Yu Li is still drooping, what reason does she want...

——

"Brother hasn't come back yet?"

Li Xuewu looked at his sister-in-law walking around the house with her big belly and asked with a smile.

Zhao Yafang twitched her lips helplessly and said, "I'm busy, but I don't know if there is someone outside."

"It's impossible to prepare"

Li Xuewu smiled and joked: "My brother is that kind of person!"

"Go ahead and just talk nonsense~"

Liu Yin clicked on her notebook and asked Li Xue to write down the things she needed to prepare before and after going to the hospital, as well as the preparations she needed to make at home.

The family meeting last night was a mess. Qin Jingru had a lot of experience in raising children, but she had no experience in giving birth.

She made a lot of requests, and Li Xuewu also took notes, but some of them were just unscrupulous methods, and Gu Ning didn't agree.

Li Xuewu chose to put aside the controversy and listed everything he could think of. For specific matters, he felt it was safe to go home and ask his mother.

Liu Yin also complained that she was so busy during this period that she forgot to tell her son to prepare these things.

It’s really time to rush it at this time. If you don’t go forward or backward, you can prepare for it in seven months, and it’s not too late to prepare in eight months.

Li Xuewu handed over the recording work to Li Xue, while he looked through the account book that his sister-in-law gave him.

This is the core account of all his industries, a data comparison that can clearly reflect experience issues. He will come here every month to look at it, so he must know it well.

This account book is still different from what Yu Li showed him at the club. This is finance, and the one over there is business.

"Sister-in-law, don't believe it. You think I'm playful, but that's all on the surface. I'm the most honest person, but my brother is different!"

Li Xuewu deliberately teased Zhao Yafang and said: "My brother is such a deep man. You can't even see what kind of tricks he has. He is so well hidden."

"Well, when your brother comes back, I have to ask him what else he hasn't told me~"

Zhao Yafang was not in a hurry, and joked with Li Xuewu with a smile: "I have to ask him why he never told me about Xuewu's sincere character, just tell me the little girls you have dated. ".

"My brother is framed!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "There are fewer girls in other places? Maybe the ones he counted for you are the ones from other places!"

"correct!"

Li Xuewu raised his head and reminded Zhao Yafang: "I remember someone wrote a love letter to my brother, and he secretly kept it."

"Hey~ I haven't heard about this."

Zhao Yafang smiled and said: "Tell me, does he still have this charm?"

"Go~ talk nonsense~"

Zhao Yafang was not anxious yet, but Liu Yin was anxious first. Among the three sons in the family, the only one with such a little bit of sincerity would soon be ruined.

She nodded Li Xuewu's head and said: "I've been yours since I was a child. It doesn't make people worry, and I call you your eldest brother!"

"Hey! I'm wronged~"

Li Xuewu looked down at the account book and muttered: "Actually, my eldest brother is not honest and kind, but I am too naughty to set him off."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Yafang again and said, "Without me, my eldest brother wouldn't be able to study so well. He wants to play, and I will beat him for all the mistakes he wants to make. But he is not the only one who is good." It’s a child~”

"Why don't you go shopping?"

Zhao Yafang glanced at him and said, "Have you also been admitted to college?"

"That's not the same place~"

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "If I hadn't been naughty, maybe my children would be in primary school now."

"Pfft~"

Li Xue couldn't help it and giggled.

"This is really hard to say"

She stood up, walked behind her second brother, held her shoulders, and asked, "I remember when you were in junior high school, did the guy with the double ponytails say he wanted to get married and have children with you?"

"You're going to say that, how could I have thought of it?"

Li Xuewu knew that his sister did it on purpose, so he didn't mind being rude and said with a smile: "There are so many people who wear twin tails, and there are so many who want to get married with me. I can't even remember them."

"Cowardly~!"

Li Xue pushed his shoulder and said, "I want to say where dad beat you, you should remember it, right?"

"Oh~oh~oh~I remembered!"

Li Xuewu looked back at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang Yanan, right?!"

"No~~~!"

Li Xue corrected her angrily: "Zhang Yanan is the one with short hair and straight ears. She was the one you dated when you were a freshman in high school."

"Really?"

Li Xuewu turned back, looked at the documents, shook his head, and asked: "Didn't the girl I was with during my freshman year of high school be named Dong Wenwen?"

"That was the second year of high school~"

Li Xue said helplessly: "You were with Dong Wenwen in the first semester of your second year of high school, and you're going to be with Wang Yajuan in the next semester~"

"Is Wang Yajuan from the second grade of high school?"

Li Xuewu turned the page and continued reading, and replied: "How do I remember that I knew her when she was in the second grade of junior high school?"

"That's Wang Yamei..."

Li Xue looked at her second brother speechlessly and asked, "Are you in love with Wang Yamei too?"

"How can it be!"

Li Xuewu raised his head and glared at his sister, saying: "I was already in the second year of high school when she was in the second year of junior high school. How could I possibly attack her!"

"What about Xu Huizhi?"

Li Xue twitched the corner of her mouth, looked at her second brother and asked, "You are in the first semester of high school, she seems to be in the first year of junior high, right?"

"Hiss~~~"

Li Xuewu almost laughed so hard that Zhao Yafang almost choked. He turned his head and looked at Li Xue and asked, "How do you remember it so clearly? You are in a relationship, right?"

"Because they all gave me candy~"

Li Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "They all know that I am your sister, so whenever I see them, my pockets are never empty."

"Great! Today is the day we solved the case!"

Li Xuewu reached out to grab her, complaining, "I am struggling on the front line, and you are struggling in the back!"

Li Xue smiled and jumped away, pointed at her second brother, and reminded him, "You said that what your eldest brother said was all fabricated, but I said that what you said is all solid evidence. Be careful or I will tell my second sister-in-law!"

"Okay! This girl can't be kept!"

Li Xuewu slapped the account book in his hand and said, "I will find a husband for you tomorrow, so that you can get married quickly and avoid framing me at home!"

"I won't find one!"

Li Xue hugged her mother's arm and said to her second brother, "I want to take care of my mother in her old age."

"Hey~Hey~Hey~"

Li Xuewu pointed to his sister-in-law who was walking in the house with a pencil in his hand, and reminded her: "It's okay for you to frame me, but it's wrong to say that my sister-in-law doesn't provide for my mother in her old age. How can you say that!"

"Alright! That's what you call framing!"

Zhao Yafang took Li Xue's other arm and said to Li Xuewu: "We have a good relationship, and you don't need to sow discord between us."

"Look! It's hard to be a good person~"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said to the old lady who was sitting on the kang and watching the joke: "I said that no matter how good the daughter-in-law is, she is not as good as my own daughter. Look, my sister-in-law hugs Li Xue instead of my mother!"

"Go~Go~Go~"

Liu Yin smiled and patted her son, and chased him away, saying: "Everything has been written, hurry up and take it home. If you stay a little longer, our family will have to perform the Three Kingdoms!"
