Chapter 1091: Buy Whatever You Want!

The program performance was brilliant, singing and dancing to the pulse of the era, showing the style of steel workers.

Li Xuewu only watched the opening, not the rest. These were all his guesses.

But he believed in the strength of the Red Star Song and Dance Troupe, and even more in the style displayed by the Song and Dance Troupe under the attention and help of Director Li.

Director Li worked tirelessly, day and night, accompanying these dance team members to practice hand-in-hand, exhausting his body and breaking his heart.

Dance Troupe Leader Zhou Miaomiao attached great importance to this performance activity, and even went to report the program rehearsal situation to Director Li in the middle of the night.

The two had a deep exchange about the May 1st Labor Day performance, and the effect was relatively obvious.

Because the organizational form went deeper into grassroots laborers, there was nothing special about the seating arrangement for factory leaders, and it was certainly not near the front row.

Some factory leaders didn't even come because of personal affairs. Li Huai De, Jing Yunong, and others also found a seat in the middle of the crowd to sit.

Li Xuewu sent them over, accompanied them to watch two programs, and then left on the grounds of having things to do at home.

Since the university study activity was launched in '66, the advocacy activity of urban workers' voluntary labor had been relatively widely implemented, with tasks every Sunday.

Even the Red Star Factory, located outside the East City, was no exception, organizing workers with units in the industrial zone to maintain urban hygiene and infrastructure construction.

However, for holidays like Labor Day or National Day, there would be no advocacy for voluntary labor, but rather encouragement for workers to participate in the form of entertainment.

Just like the large-scale literary program performance of the Red Star Factory, the performed programs were also mainly red-themed, with era characteristics.

Today was the festival of all laborers, and also the day the club was officially established and operated.

It was precisely on this day that the Dongfeng Sports Club Management Committee officially handed over the management authority to the Club Management Office, only being responsible for internal business thereafter.

After officially starting operations, the club's membership absorption work would be carried out according to the established procedures, and internal equipment and facilities would be open to all members, while providing a better service experience.

Today, the sports club was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, full of laughter. The weather was just right, and everyone walked inside the large courtyard, visiting the prepared areas.

Fitness center, shooting range, tennis court, badminton court, library, service department, specialty restaurant, small auditorium, chess and card room, flower hall, reception house...

The environment here was elegant and generous, with unique Beijing characteristics, possessing both literary and martial temperaments, specially and carefully laid out and built by the Dongfeng Architecture Ancient Architecture Research Institute.

Here, members can engage in physical exercise, artistic appreciation, literary reference, card games for entertainment, self-cultivation, tea drinking and casual conversation, and can even practice shooting skills or watch artistic performances.

The small auditorium was equipped with various forms of performance forms such as cinemas, operas, and singing and dancing. On this auspicious day of opening, the programs were brilliant.

The traces of the large courtyard's history were perfectly preserved, and many era characteristics were added.

Footprints left by time could still be seen on the wall bricks and floor bricks, but what they carried were already the gathering and stories of the elites of the new era.

New era, new atmosphere, new development, new changes. The club ushered in a new era on this day.

Li Xuewu's car entered the courtyard and discovered that today's club had too many differences.

Just looking at the security temperament at the entrance, it had a completely different performance from before.

"A bit too much, right?"

Li Xuewu patted Zhao Lao Si's arm lightly, signaled to Zhao Lao Liu standing straight at the entrance, and asked, "You don't even let your own brothers go?"

"They are the ones being flashy; I didn't make any requirements—!"

Zhao Lao Si looked at the wrinkles on his brother's clothes, which were straight and smooth, and the lines were pressed in a way that looked intentional.

The martial arts belt was tied especially standardly, and the wrinkles on the clothes at the waist were stretched straight in a wave-like rule, as if they were fake people poured out of plaster.

"Hehe—I told them, today the club is officially operating, and they are also proper factory workers, so they can't lose face!"

Zhao Lao Si's mouth had been trained by his master. Once he spoke, it made people suspect he had gone to the mountain to find an old monk to open his light.

He was also in a clean and neat white shirt and black trousers, stepping on a pair of three-joint black leather shoes, standing on Li Xuewu's side reporting like a human.

"Losing our face doesn't matter; how much is this face of ours worth? I'm afraid of losing your face, losing the face of our club—"

He said with a hehe smile, "I don't find it troublesome no matter how much importance I attach to it, and I don't find it hard no matter how troublesome it is. Today, we must make the name of our security section."

"Hmm—not bad, but don't lose the inside while taking care of the face," Li Xuewu pointed at him with a smile and said, "A silver-like pewter spear head won't do!"

"You rest assured! You rest a hundred hearts—!"

Zhao Lao Si raised his chin, signaled to the direction of the gatehouse, and said, "The security section is ready at all times!"

He introduced very seriously, "Specially went to the Red Star Factory to ask the security section people for advice on the training and management methods of the guard team. It's the same!"

"Okay! A bit interesting!"

Li Xuewu's smile was finally satisfied. He looked at Zhao Lao Si and said, "Did Director Yu tell you how the salary and treatment are calculated?"

"Told me, told me, it's good!"

Zhao Lao Si nodded with a hehe smile and said, "Brothers..." Just after returning to the beginning, he realized he had said the wrong thing and gave himself a small slap.

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't care, he replied again, "The comrades all say the club is good, say you are good, like working here, and it would be good to work for a lifetime!"

"A lifetime is too long, just seize the day."

Li Xuewu looked at his pretentious expression, nodded and said, "You are now a management person, you must pay attention to the study and improvement of your own cultural quality at all times, and pay even more attention to the strengthening of ideological aspects."

"I understand, I understand, I must study seriously and learn the new era ideology into my brain!"

Zhao Lao Si was still the old-fashioned general manager model. His answers to the above were all repeated responses at the beginning.

This gave the above a serious and emphasized tone, showing even more humility and respect.

He promised seriously, "Not only do I have to study, but all the comrades in the security section have to study, to build the best team for the club."

"Work hard, I am most optimistic about you among this batch of management cadres in the club—!"

Li Xuewu stood by the car looking at the bustle in the large courtyard. From time to time, members he knew greeted him, and he responded with a smile and a nod.

Zhao Lao Si stood on the side with his waist straightened quite a bit, possessing quite a bit of the momentum of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Look! What did our Division Chief Li say about me!

I am the cadre he is most optimistic about in the club. I must work hard, study seriously, and dedicate my youth and strength to the club!

No one in this club knows dedication better than me. How many can stand not taking a salary for a year!

"Hey! I'm not blowing it with you! You go find it all over the four nine cities; there is no place better to play and more awesome than here! I tell you!"

The club opened, invited all members to participate in activities, and the branch organization Youth Gathering also organized members to come to visit.

Youth Gathering members also enjoyed the right to use the facilities here, but the authority had a large difference.

Club members could borrow books from the library, but Youth Gathering members couldn't.

Club members had one price for shooting bullets, and Youth Gathering members had another price for bullets.

Accommodation in the reception house, participation in activities, badges and uniforms, and identity cards were all different.

That small badge was very unique and dashing in the four nine cities, but it couldn't compare here.

Those club members held custom-made handbags, and their clothes were also mostly custom-made, and even the collars and cuffs had numbers.

People had parking space authority when they came to the club. Although Youth Gathering didn't have cars, even if they had cars, they didn't have a place to park. The difference was obvious.

The only same treatment was the dining price of the Oriental Restaurant. Here, no matter how well you ate, all members were one price.

Including the private rooms in the back, as long as you had money, you could invite friends to the private room to have a fierce meal.

Of course, it was a fierce meal; otherwise, if you wanted two plates of shredded potatoes in such a luxurious private room, it would be too shabby, and your friend wouldn't be able to eat the shredded potatoes as cold arrows.

The food in the Dongfeng Restaurant was better than outside. This was everyone's consensus, not just the chef's craft, but also the variety of ingredients.

Here you could eat beef and mutton from the frontier, live seafood from Tianjin, white rice and flour from the Northeast, and even old yellow wine stored in the cellar from Yuezhou.

Because of the increase in the number of members, the cost after formal operation changed the weekly dinner activity to once a month.

But the conditions and standards of the dinner didn't change. It was still club members bringing relatives, Youth Gathering members themselves, no fee for the dinner, and the dinner standard was very high, with movies to watch after the meal.

However, the premise was that you had to be a member, at least a Youth Gathering member. The Youth Gathering membership status wasn't easy to get, and Li Yuanchao got it.

His father and mother's influence was very large, and they still stood tall after experiencing many storms. Just look at his carefree life in the city to know a thing or two.

Li Yuanchao's two older brothers were both very capable and developed very well outside, and he himself wasn't bad either.

Not only did he have a certain appeal in the team of old soldiers, but his own studies hadn't fallen behind either.

Children cultivated by such families didn't have poor basic abilities. Just look at their words and deeds to know.

You listen to Zhou Changli and Zhao Lao Si acting honestly in front of Li Xuewu, not daring to have a dirty word in their mouths.

But outside, there was a grass-mud-horse every three sentences. This was the standard configuration for those who mixed on the street.

But this is rarely seen in veterans like Li Yuanchao; you might hear them use some nonsensical popular slang, but they rarely curse.

"Ya" (a curse word) wasn't very special in the four nine cities; it was more of a colloquial emotional vocabulary.

The "Ya" they said didn't have the ruthlessness of the "Wan Zhu" (tough guys) saying it.

If those tough guys bit out this word, they would inevitably have to take out their tools to poke you.

Old soldiers? They were a bit short of meaning.

Fighting in a group was fine, fighting a tailwind battle, a large group of people gathering together, but it was rare to see someone taking an enemy's head alone.

Because they had concerns and even more scruples. Porcelain doesn't touch a clay pot; that was the principle.

Look now, Li Yuanchao could openly take his identity card and walk into this large courtyard that he once feared. Could the tough guys do it?

"They can't!"

Li Yuanchao stood near the flower hall and showed off to the brothers he brought: "The Youth Gathering membership status is by invitation, tough guys can't get it."

He shook the wallet in his hand. That was a special style he bought at the club's service department, which couldn't be bought on the market outside, even in special operation stores.

You want to say administrative suits, fitness equipment, green boards, sea soul shirts, these could be bought in special operation stores, but special operation goods with the club logo couldn't be bought outside.

Open the wallet, there was a small magnet inside, adsorbing exactly his metal identity card.

This thing was made extremely exquisitely, and the photos were all pressed by ceramics. It was too difficult to imitate.

Li Yuanchao didn't let go of his hand like a treasure as soon as he got the Youth Gathering membership kit.

Badges, cards, diaries, etc., had long been shown off to friends, and when he learned that the club had an open day on the day of opening, he couldn't wait to make an appointment with friends to come.

Wealth doesn't return to the hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night!

He wanted to pull up his status, so he had to sharpen his identity in front of friends and hold it high.

How about it, I have it and you don't, I am higher than you, that was the meaning.

"Don't say I'm showing off to you, today is truly rare, only once a year!"

He carefully put away his wallet and said proudly: "Even if it's a member open day, outsiders who want to come in must be brought by formal members, and there is a limit on the number of people. I only brought a few of you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's still Yuanchao who has face!"

Several friends who followed all gave Li Yuanchao a thumbs up, and the beautiful words in their mouths were like they didn't need money.

Their eyes weren't enough to look at, looking at the layout in the large courtyard, looking at the waiters walking in the club, why were they so good-looking!

"Hey! Where are your eyes looking—!"

Li Yuanchao called them with a smile and reminded: "Pay attention to the image, haven't you seen pretty girls, why are you so unreserved!"

"Don't talk about us either!"

Someone was unconvinced and smiled: "Look at that figure, front and back, and that standard dress. Don't say you didn't have any ideas when you saw it!"

"So what if I have ideas? I'll chase them anyway!" Li Yuanchao stiffened his neck and blew it: "Brothers, watch out, give me a period of time, I'll chase one for you to see!"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe these waiters!"

That person smiled and winked: "People aren't blind. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons here. How could they find someone like you!"

"Of course, I'm not belittling you!"

He waved his hand and said: "It's just that you said it yourself, the members here are all working!"

"So what if they are working!"

Li Yuanchao raised his head unconvinced, and then shrugged his shoulders without confidence: "Actually, I don't want to chase, it's boring."

He signaled to the direction of the management office and introduced: "Don't look at them as waiters, their status isn't necessarily worse than yours. Do you know Ou Xin from K courtyard?"

Seeing them nod, he raised his eyebrows and introduced: "Used to work as a waiter here, now she is the person in charge of the reception house, very awesome."

"What's a waiter! I don't care!" Someone curled his lips: "I don't believe the waiters here have an extra leg!"

"Fart! The one with an extra leg is a male waiter!" Li Yuanchao glared: "They are all from the large courtyard. People here get 32.5 yuan a month. Can you spend 32.5 yuan a month?"

He signaled to the direction of the courtyard and introduced: "This place looks fresh and sounds awesome, but in reality, it's still strength and status!"

"Why do I want to come here? Isn't it for the interpersonal relationships here!"

Li Yuanchao shook his head slightly and said: "200 yuan membership fee a year, my savings for this year are all exchanged for this admission ticket."

"What! 200 yuan—?!"

Zhang Haiyang stared with wide eyes and asked: "What is here that is worth 200 yuan!"

He pointed to the waiter passing by and asked: "Just looking at how well they dress?"

"Don't point fingers!" Li Yuanchao patted the back of his hand and reminded: "You can't see waiters wearing high heels and skirts for 200 yuan!"

He glanced at several people and said: "200 yuan is just an admission ticket, the consumption here is calculated separately!"

After speaking, he pulled Zhang Haiyang and signaled to the people walking in the courtyard with his chin and introduced lightly: "Prison Warden Huang Gan of the First Supervision Institute, Deputy Director Ma Jun of the West City Procuratorate, Zhou Zhengquan of the Ministry of Equipment..."

While introducing, he told Zhang Haiyang and others about the situation here. The formal members of the club, looking at them, they were all big officials.

If you want to compare them in the organization, it can't be said how big they are. The capital is so big, there are many capable people.

But even a relatively general deputy division-level cadre is considered capable in their eyes.

It's not that their eyelids are shallow and they haven't seen big figures, but rather that they have seen too many big figures to have this sobriety and cognition.

Big figures are nothing; big figures are all old men and old women. The future still depends on here.

Young and strong division-level cadres, gathering here, isn't it interpersonal relationships? Don't tell me they really come to exercise!

Of course, Li Yuanchao bought a full set of training clothes. He wanted to come to exercise and fitness every day; otherwise, wouldn't this 200 yuan be spent in vain!

His father told him that the family's shade couldn't protect him for many years, and he had to look at his own flapping to get ahead.

In these years, the higher you go, the more difficult it is. Where are there so many positions for you to drill?

So you have to expand interpersonal relationships, make more friends and relationships, to find your own way.

Don't say Li Yuanchao is calculating and calculating. The matter is this matter, and it's the same for anyone.

Being in the game, it's impossible for him to return to his father's hometown to farm. Born in the four nine cities, he can only climb up, drill forward, and reach inside.

He wasn't clear-headed before and played around with these little partners on bicycles. He only understood after the little cub was restricted.

In this world, only calculating others is the great truth; you must never be calculated by others.

"What you see is just this, what you can't see is the monthly dinner and performance, independent lockers, and the recommendation opportunity once a year."

Li Yuanchao put his arm around Zhang Haiyang's shoulder and said: "There are too many other welfare treatments, and we can even apply to use those cars."

"Volga M24 sedan?!"

Zhang Haiyang looked at him in shock and asked in disbelief: "Lend it to you to drive out?"

"Fart! I wouldn't dare to drive it even if you gave it to me!"

Li Yuanchao put down his arm and said with a smile: "Bicycles are fine, and my dad's jeep is no problem, but such high-end sedans..."

He took a deep breath, shook his head slightly and said: "We will have special drivers to serve us when we get married or enjoy honors."

"This is awesome enough!"

Zhang Haiyang said enviously: "I wish I could join in too!"

"Rest assured! Bread will be there!"

Li Yuanchao obtained sufficient emotional value from Zhang Haiyang and others, waved his hand with a smile and said: "My recommendation card is always yours!"

"Yuanchao is bright!"

"Awesome! I'm just waiting for your recommendation!"

"Too awesome! Envious!"

Li Yuanchao's chin gradually rose in the praise, but he hadn't forgotten himself and knew where this was.

"Don't just blow it, my recommendation card is very valuable. You go and inquire about the four nine cities, how many Youth Gathering members are there?"

"What? Yuanchao, do you want money from us?"

Zhang Haiyang tilted his head and looked at him, and the others stopped talking, also looking at him.

Li Yuanchao rolled his eyes and said: "What kind of fart is this, am I that kind of person!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and pinched Zhang Haiyang's shoulder and said: "Once a year, I can recommend new members to accept the assessment, but you also have to prepare the membership fee!"

He curled his lips and said: "Don't wait until I recommend you, and you pass the assessment, and in the end, you can't pay the membership fee. That would be a big loss of face!"

"Grass! Isn't it just 200 yuan a year!"

Zhang Haiyang hummed: "I have enough even if I leak a little from my fingertips!"

He nodded and said: "Rest assured, as long as you recommend me, I will definitely not lose face for you!"

"Good! I'm relieved with your words. One by one, we will all be members of this courtyard in the future!"

Li Yuanchao was best at drawing cakes to win people's hearts, one a year. There were five brothers standing here, and in five years, he would almost exceed the age of Youth Gathering members.

Don't say there are many wolves and little meat. Just because of his generosity, everyone had to buy his face.

It wasn't Li Yuanchao blowing it either. The membership status of this Youth Gathering was truly precious. There really weren't many in their circle who got the invitation letter.

"Go, I'll take you inside to turn around!"

Li Yuanchao put his arms around several people and walked inside, saying to Zhang Haiyang while walking: "Zhou Xiaobai from your courtyard small courtyard works here."

"I know, I heard her say it last time."

Zhang Haiyang was actually looking for Zhou Xiaobai's figure as soon as he came in. At this moment, he pretended not to care and expressed that the relationship between the two was very close.

Li Yuanchao knew him, but didn't expose him, just reminded with a smile: "Don't look for her, she hasn't worked here for a long time."

Seeing Zhang Haiyang stunned, he took the initiative to explain: "Follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger, follow the capable and don't suffer. People have gone to Tianjin to work."

"When did this happen? Why don't I know?" Zhang Haiyang frowned: "I bumped into her in the courtyard a few days ago, and she didn't say this?"

Li Yuanchao didn't want to fold his face, shook his head slightly: "Don't know, I saw her and Luo Yun in the service department the first time I came."

"Later, only Luo Yun was left. Heard she went to Tianjin to be a manager, something something chain, seems to be the operation of seafood products, don't quite understand."

He sighed and said: "Now Luo Yun can't be seen either. She manages the procurement business of seven special operation stores in the capital, very awesome!"

"How could this be?"

Zhang Haiyang was still struggling with Zhou Xiaobai's departure. He had finally lowered his face to ask Li Yuanchao to come in, wasn't it for Zhou Xiaobai.

Li Yuanchao thought he was asking about the changes of the two, and said with a smile: "I told you, follow the capable and don't suffer. People have capable people behind them to take care of them. I came in to find capable people too."

At this moment, he turned his head and saw Li Xuewu walking toward the management office accompanied by Security Section Chief Zhao Lao Si, and signaled to Zhang Haiyang: "See that? That is Zhou Xiaobai's capable person."

Zhang Haiyang squinted his eyes and said in surprise: "Li Erbala?"

"Grass! Keep your voice down! Are you looking for death!"

Li Yuanchao glared: "Don't you know whose territory this is? He is the president of this club, don't cause me trouble!"

After speaking, he grabbed Zhang Haiyang and persuaded: "Don't stare with your bull eyes. I said capable person, not your lover, what are you anxious about!"

He reminded: "Luo Yun also developed by relying on him. People are seriously managing the relationship network. What he does is what I want to do."

"And, you and Zhou Xiaobai don't have anything yet, don't be so excited!"

"I'm not excited!" Zhang Haiyang shook off his arm and asked with a dark face: "Do you know where Zhou Xiaobai went to work in Tianjin?"

"What? You still want to chase after her?"

Li Yuanchao didn't expect that this Zhang Haiyang was still a seed of affection, raised his eyebrows: "Tianjin is so big, where can I find Zhou Xiaobai for you!"

But seeing Zhang Haiyang was angry and wanted to leave, he said: "But I know she comes back every weekend, should be requested by the family."

"Saturday and Sunday?" Zhang Haiyang stopped his steps and looked at Li Yuanchao: "What else do you know? Tell me all at once, I'll owe you a favor!"

"Don't need favor, we are brothers!"

Li Yuanchao told him: "But I have to remind you, Zhou Xiaobai is different from before now, even Luo Yun rarely sees her."

"Know the International Hotel?"

He walked close to Zhang Haiyang and said: "Several yuan of accommodation fee a night, a place that can't be entered without special status. She stays there when she comes back."

"International Hotel?!"

Zhang Haiyang frowned and asked: "How do you know she stays there when she comes back?"

"Heh—as long as it's something brothers want to know in this four nine city, there is nothing that escapes my eyes!"

Li Yuanchao said confidently: "Otherwise, why do you think I can receive the invitation letter here?"

Zhang Haiyang looked at him deeply and said: "What exactly is Zhou Xiaobai doing? Why is there suddenly so much money?"

"Money? Hehe—you still don't understand what I mean. This isn't about money!"

Li Yuanchao patted the wallet in his pants pocket and said: "I had money before, why couldn't I come in here? Why couldn't I enter the International Hotel?"

"Such a place can't be entered just because you have money. You still don't believe me when I say you are paranoid!"

He patted Zhang Haiyang's arm and said: "You don't know Zhou Xiaobai's background. You can't manage what she is doing now, but her parents definitely know. Don't meddle in other people's business and sell me out!"

"Thanks—I'll invite you to dinner later."

Zhang Haiyang understood his meaning. Zhou Xiaobai wasn't here, and he wasn't willing to hold Li Yuanchao's stinky feet anymore, so he turned and left.

But he still had to have the face he should have, and he had to owe Li Yuanchao a favor.

Regarding Zhou Xiaobai, he had kept her in his heart for a long time. He didn't remember how long, only remembered red lips and white teeth, beautiful person and even more beautiful heart.

Returning from the club, Li Xuewu went straight to the sea transport warehouse to go home. He also wanted to rest.

If you want to say going to the club on Saturday and Sunday to relax, that's impossible. There are a bunch of things blocking you. If you want to play, you have to stay up late.

Went to participate in a meeting today, and also held a symposium with Yu Li and others in the management office. Many members came to participate.

Lunch, everyone gathered together to be happy, including the young people of Youth Gathering who just joined the big collective. Li Xuewu stood on the small dance hall of the restaurant and said a few words of welcome and blessing.

Knowing that Li Xuewu was going home in the afternoon, Yu Li asked the restaurant to prepare many snacks and pastries for Li Shu.

Before leaving, she also gave him a bundle, saying it was clothes and shoes for Li Shu made at the time.

There was another string of white jade beads, not an ordinary bracelet or necklace, but a warding-off string hanging on the collar, very beautiful.

Yu Li specially explained that she went up the mountain to ask for it from the old monk. Li Shu was at the age of being naughty, so she had to pay attention.

Li Xuewu jokingly asked why he didn't have one. Could it be that Yu Li didn't care about his safety anymore?

Yu Li pushed him and said that he looked enough to ward off evil, and didn't need the big monk's blessing.

The two didn't have time to sit alone in the morning. At the meeting, Yu Li reported the club's business situation and the layout after formal operation.

With the foundation laid by Lou Jie and Lou Yu on this side, and she often reporting and asking for instructions from Li Xuewu, the management here was very smooth.

Especially several effective measures were recognized and praised by all members present, which made her subsequent work even more convenient.

Of course, she was even busier. It was from the period of preparing for opening in April that Li Xuewu could see that her pressure was very great.

Li Xuewu didn't persuade her. Without pressure, there was no motivation for growth. Yu Li would also take on important roles in the future, so how could she relax.

However, she should still be comforted. After putting away the package and food box given by Yu Li, he took a small box out of his bag and handed it to her, saying it was a gift to congratulate her on taking office.

Yu Li was also stunned, not knowing why Li Xuewu would suddenly give her a gift.

After the car left, she opened the box and saw that it was a lady's watch, a Longines that was rarely seen in the country.

This brand of watch could be found in large shopping malls, but the styles were definitely not many, because it was too expensive and hard to sell.

Imported watches were also divided into grades and categories, and Longines belonged to the first-class second-grade goods.

Don't think that second-grade goods were low. This watch couldn't be bought for less than 150 yuan.

Not to mention the corresponding industrial coupons. Ordinary families couldn't bear to buy it, and she couldn't bear it even more.

Touching the exquisite dial and leather strap in the box, Yu Li's throat was dry and painful, and tears couldn't stop falling.

This person is good at coaxing people to be happy and making people cry!

Why do you say women's hearts are needles at the bottom of the sea? If you give a gift, you still have to cry, and if you don't give food, you also have to cry.

"So sweet, are you sure you want to eat it all?"

Li Xuewu pressed the food box, looked at his daughter and asked: "Your little teeth are going to grow bugs!"

"Then I will eat the bugs too!"

Li Shu learned from her father and pressed on the food box, shouting milkily with her neck sideways: "I'm determined to eat these delicious things today!"

"Li Shu—"

Gu Ning sat on the sofa watching TV, heard Li Shu's words, and turned to greet her.

Li Shu took a deep breath, pursed her mouth, let go of her hand on the food box, and walked toward her mother.

While walking, she was still aggrieved and shedding tears, only feeling that her father was a bad father, and her mother... was a good mother.

"You're just teasing, not letting her take it all out, you have to tease her, now it's good!"

Liu Yin was pruning the flowers and plants in the room. Seeing Li Shu crying, she glared at her son.

Li Xuewu laughed and packed the food box and sent it to the refrigerator in the kitchen. Even if the daughter cried, she couldn't be given too many sweets and pastries.

"Why are you crying, just because of a bite to eat? Too unreserved—"

Gu Ning coaxed Li Shu, but didn't care about Li Xuewu teasing the child, and used a handkerchief to wipe the tears for her daughter.

She pointed to the small beads hanging on Li Shu's collar and praised: "This is so beautiful!"

"Ha—given by aunt."

Li Shu was still sobbing, took a breath, then lowered her head and pinched the string of beads to look, and looked up at her mother and said: "Can't eat."

"Of course you can't eat, it's a beautiful decoration, don't you think it's beautiful?"

Gu Ning helped her daughter organize her clothes, asked Li Xuewu with her mouth: "Is there any particularity? Why did you think of asking for beads?"

Li Xuewu came out of the restaurant, brewed a cup of tea for himself and replied: "Not a festival, what particularity can there be, just wear it for beauty, right daughter?"

"Humph—!"

Li Shu still held a grudge, turned her little face away and didn't look at her father. He didn't give her delicious food!

Li Xuewu laughed and reached out to pinch her little face, sat down next to Gu Ning and said: "I'm really curious, how did she knock open the temple door."

"In short, it's not easy. At this time, you can't see a single monk or Taoist, and the temples that are convenient to go to have long since lost the figures of monks, Taoists, and nuns."

Liu Yin collected the pruned flower branches, used scissors to cut them into pieces and sprinkled them in the flower pot, covering them with soil. After all, they turned into spring mud to protect the flowers.

Today Qin Jingru was also on holiday. The couple said they were accompanying the old lady to go shopping. It was very rare for the whole family to be together, just like Li Xuewu's family.

Li Xuewen took his wife and children to visit his father-in-law in Red Star Village. It was a car arranged by Shen Guodong, and his brother-in-law Zhao Yajun was the driver.

Li Xue had to watch the program at the unit, Ji Yuxiu had to be on duty at the unit, Li Xuewu wanted to pick up the old lady, but the old lady said she was too lazy to move, so she rested at home.

It was also true, serving the child at home with Zhao Yafang wasn't that easy.

The old lady was too lazy to move, so Li Xuewu didn't force her over. In the end, the courtyard was more lively, with people coming and going.

"I really didn't pay attention to this. Old Zhang asked me the other day, saying whether to go up the mountain."

Li Xuewu drank a cup of hot tea, looked at the black and white program on TV, and mentioned the fishing old man: "He seems to want to worship Buddha."

"You want to go too?" Gu Ning finished tidying up Li Shu's clothes, let her run around in the room, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "You still believe in Buddha?"

"Heh—he doesn't even believe his father's words, can he believe in a mud lump?"

Liu Yin put away the scissors, walked over and laughed at her son, and went to coax her granddaughter.

Li Ning was sleeping soundly on the sofa. The little guy had reached the time of being annoying and was especially noisy.

Li Xuewu laughed, put down the teacup and said: "My heart is selfless, the world is wide, I walk on the bright road, act openly and honorably, no ghosts believe in Buddha!"

He signaled to the large lake and raised his eyebrows: "I mean Old Zhang has a ghost in his heart, I'm afraid fishing can't smooth out the hurdle in his heart, so he wants to find someone to break it."

"What exactly is he doing? Ate a lot of his fish, and didn't hear you mention it."

Liu Yin picked up the dried dates on the tea table, pinched a small opening for Li Shu to feed, and asked her son: "Know that he lives in our street, don't know which family, don't know what he does."

"I don't know either, didn't ask, he said he retired himself," Li Xuewu shook his head slightly: "But it's definitely not the retirement of a formal retirement. Maybe he committed a crime."

"Go—don't compile people like this. You ate his fish, and didn't hear you say it. Leave some virtue!"

Liu Yin glared at her son and exhorted: "Ask more when you see him again, give a helping hand if you need help. Although this isn't a large courtyard, you still have to handle the neighborhood relationship well."

"How to ask? Can't ask—"

Li Xuewu folded his legs, looked at the sky outside the window, and said: "He is ready to ask Buddha to solve it, which means this matter isn't something living people can handle, and I don't have that ability."

It wasn't that Li Xuewu's mouth was bad, scolding whoever he saw. After all, he ate people's fish and chatted with the large lake every day, so he wouldn't say that.

But since he said so, it meant Old Zhang had something, he didn't take the initiative to ask, the other party didn't take the initiative to say, which further meant there was a problem inside.

Li Xuewu didn't care about how mysterious Old Zhang was. Looking at the string of beads on his daughter's chest, he curled his lips. He actually remembered Gu Ning's words just now.

Don't tell me Yu Li sent this and made her feel uncomfortable?

Turning to look at Gu Ning's expression, it was calm. He was keeping himself clean, clean and white, what could make his wife suspicious.

"What do you want to eat at night? Dumplings or oil cakes?" Li Xuewu probed Gu Ning and asked: "Or should I go buy a roast duck and we come back to eat?"

Liu Yin looked at her son and daughter-in-law, but didn't speak. The living conditions here were much better than at home, but this was her son's home.

Even if the two ate well, it was earned by the two, not stolen or robbed, not tight-handed, at most just privately nagging her son a couple of times.

The most suitable scale for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along is mutual understanding, mutual support, less making decisions, more discussion.

Gu Ning heard Li Xuewu mention roast duck, tilted her head and thought about it, and asked: "Do you still remember the one we first met after I came back?"

"Got it! We'll eat his roast duck today! Crispy and fragrant!"

Li Xuewu sat up straight with a smile, teased the daughter who ran over and asked: "Big daughter, what do you want to eat, Dad will buy it for you right now!"

Li Shu stood in front of him, blinked suspiciously, buckled her mouth and asked: "Really?"

Li Xuewu nodded: "When did Dad lie to you, buy whatever you want, as long as you want to eat."

Li Shu pointed her little hand toward the restaurant direction and said: "Then don't buy, just give me the pastries in the refrigerator." ===== CHAPTER 1092 =====

Li Shu pointed her small hand toward the dining room and said, "No need to buy any; the pastries in the refrigerator are fine for me."
