Chapter 1115: Being Stubborn is Painful

"Yo—Ye Ye Erye, what is this?"

Qin Huairu came in from the courtyard gate and just happened to see Liu Haizhong carrying a basket of eggs towards the Li family.

She couldn't help but tease: "Is this for breastfeeding, or for the full-month celebration?"

"I think the first-year birthday is still a bit early, right?"

"Go—Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Haizhong knew that Qin Huairu was mocking him for holding Buddha's feet temporarily, and with so many people in the courtyard right now, he was quite embarrassed.

His face wasn't red because of Qin Huairu's teasing, nor because the people in the courtyard were watching his joke.

Forty-something, almost fifty years old, Liu Haizhong had never given anyone a gift in his life.

To say that he relied entirely on real ability to work and never flattered anyone was impossible.

But to say giving a gift, this basket of eggs today could be considered the first time in his life.

"What full-month gift, first-year gift, Ye Ye Erye doesn't lack the gift money in this courtyard."

In the middle of this month, under the inspection of the organization, Liu Haizhong had his disciplinary decision of being observed in the factory for one year lifted and regained his formal worker status.

The tight hoop around his head had been removed, and he looked much more lively as a whole; he no longer had that dispirited, head-hanging, eye-averting look he used to have when seeing people.

Of course, even if he was more lively, he no longer had the arrogance of when he was the Ye Ye Erye before.

The family had experienced so many changes one after another, he only felt that he had survived a disaster, people must cherish blessings, in this year, people like Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan had fallen, what was he.

Therefore, look at the people in the courtyard using the eyes of watching the fun and watching the joke to look at him, whispering about him, he didn't care much about these.

It was just that Qin Huairu teased him to his face, as an elder, he couldn't not speak.

However, taking this opportunity, he also wanted to explain his purpose, so as not to let the people in the courtyard guess blindly, chew on tongues and talk about right and wrong.

He first replied with an explanation about the gift money, which was not bragging. A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Even if their family had experienced changes again, it was still stronger than ordinary families.

Even if there was no face left because of that matter with the First Master, he would not lack the gift money for other people's serious business, this is a symbol of a person living.

Speaking of which, on the Li family's side, Li Xuewen's marriage, giving birth to a child, Li Xuewu's marriage, giving birth to a child, he had spent money on gifts several times.

Sha Zhu's marriage, giving birth to a child, Yan Jiecheng's funeral, he hadn't missed anyone's gift money.

Qin Huairu teased him because she found it strange, the Ye Ye Erye's family giving gifts, rarely gave such a big gift as eggs.

"Isn't it, Guangfu is back," Liu Haizhong said with some shame: "He did something wrong himself, and also felt very embarrassed, he told me that he received Xuewu's care inside, I am a father, I have to have an expression,"

"Ye Ye Erye, please don't do this."

Li Xuewu heard the movement in the courtyard, and the family also heard it. At this moment, they looked at the window outside with different expressions.

He also took the initiative to stand up and walk out of the room, smiling and greeting Liu Haizhong: "If you saw me back, find me to sit for a while, whatever, carrying this, absolutely not."

"Yo—Guangfu is back, we didn't even know!"

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Congratulations, Ye Ye Erye, you count as double happiness!"

"What double happiness, count as turning over a new leaf."

Liu Haizhong accepted Qin Huairu's intentional exposure very calmly and said with a smile: "Don't put gold on Ye Ye Erye's face, I'm ashamed."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to come out to welcome him, and Qin Huairu helped set the stage, he was considered to have found back the face for his son to live in the courtyard again.

Today he went to the First Supervision Institute to pick up his son, throughout the year, Liu Haizhong went to the First Supervision Institute once a month, every time he went, he could feel his son's growth and progress, making him feel very gratified.

On the way back with his son, he couldn't help but be happy, even if he wanted to put on a strict father's face, his tone was hard to hide his joy.

Just returning to the alley, before entering the courtyard, Liu Guangfu hesitated, stood at the gate and looked around for a long time, as if he didn't recognize that this was his home.

Liu Haizhong greeted him to enter the courtyard quickly, but Liu Guangfu didn't have the look of finding everything fresh on the road, appearing a bit restrained and dull.

After being pulled into the courtyard by him, his head was lowered, his hands were folded, as if he had no face to see people.

Liu Haizhong's heart was aching, and he also hated it. After the three people returned home and wiped their tears, there was a long silence and embarrassment.

It was still him who took the initiative to pull Liu Guangfu to the bathhouse at the door to wash for half a day, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy new short sleeves, new pants, and new cloth shoes.

Clean, new clothes, still hard to remove Liu Guangfu's inner inferiority and loss.

Liu Haizhong knew that he should do something, as a father, do something for his son.

If he wants to pick up the face of life for his son again, he must get the recognition of the neighbors.

He couldn't take his son to visit door to door, to express his position, it was useless, and it made his son burdened and caused people to laugh.

Therefore, the bell must be tied by the person who tied it, solving the problem must grasp the main contradiction and key point.

Knowing from Sha Zhu that Li Xuewu was coming back to stay for the night, he went out for a stroll in the afternoon, and then managed to find a basket of eggs.

"Xuewu, these eggs are not Ye Ye Erye asking you to do anything, don't misunderstand."

Liu Haizhong no longer had the arrogance, lost the heart of unrealistic desires, and restored the essence of the workers of this era, simple, honest, and honest.

He said with some emotion: "Early on, I heard on the street that parents who don't teach their children will sooner or later have a place to discipline their children for you."

"This word, said by me, is truly absolutely true, it couldn't be more spiritual."

In the eyes of the neighbors in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong said: "I am not a person who spoils children, everyone knows, to say hitting children, no one is more able to do it than me."

"However, throughout this year, I have also been constantly reflecting, among the three sons, which one was beaten by me into a talent?"

"None, not a single one, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, I myself made a mistake."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said: "My education of children has mistakes, and I am ashamed, hitting cannot beat out a filial son."

"But I have to say, Guangfu's changes throughout this year truly let me, this father, learn."

He looked at Li Xuewu and said sincerely: "At the beginning, you sent Guangfu in, I complained about you, but now I have to thank you."

"If it weren't for this, Guangfu couldn't have grown so fast, maybe he would have learned bad things long ago, I, Liu Haizhong, lost face, but picked up a good son, this year was truly worth it—!"

"Ye Ye Erye, not complaining!" Old Seven stood on the side and teased: "I even saw you secretly wanting to ask for the house in the back courtyard of Director Li!"

"Hahaha—!"

"Go—! Just talking nonsense—"

Liu Haizhong heard the liveliness of the crowd, and also knew that the neighbors had listened to his words, and this disdain and discrimination would dissipate a lot.

Of course, he didn't dare to have unrealistic expectations that the people in this courtyard would still have the same attitude towards his son as before, but at least they wouldn't talk about anything to his face.

He handed the egg basket to Liu Yin who followed him out and said: "Sister-in-law, don't make it difficult for Second Brother, this must be accepted."

"Ye Ye Erye, look at your politeness, we all live in the same courtyard."

Liu Yin didn't want to take these eggs, so she greeted Liu Haizhong and said: "Since Xuewu is back, come into the room to drink a bowl of water, you two chat."

Li Xuewu also didn't take the eggs, smiled and reached out to support his arm, inviting him into the room.

"I still heard it from Sha Zhu."

Liu Haizhong explained with some embarrassment: "He said you were coming back to stay for the night, I don't have any other meaning."

"Don't be polite, it makes everyone watch a joke," Li Xuewu invited him to go first, and asked Qin Huairu: "Come into the room to stay for a while?"

"I have things to do at home—"

Qin Huairu knew what Li Xuewu meant, seeing him come to pull her, she had to follow Liu Haizhong into the room.

But she teased again: "Ye Ye Erye doesn't want me to watch his fun."

"We are all neighbors in the same courtyard, what fun or joke."

Liu Yin greeted Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu to sit in the room, while making tea and saying: "To say there is something not maintained, that is letting outsiders watch our joke."

Li Xuewu forced Qin Huairu to come into the room, Liu Yin naturally knew what was going on, it was to guard against Liu Haizhong coming to the house and people chewing tongues.

In case Liu Haizhong said something here, or this basket of eggs caused any speculation, there must be a witness, and it must be said clearly and clearly.

Must let the Li family openly invite Liu Haizhong in, and cleanly send him out.

Li Xuewu is her own son, his heart is crooked, what he wants to do, she can see clearly at a glance, so greeting Qin Huairu is also very enthusiastic.

"Jingru and her husband are back, you just arrived home? Don't know yet, right."

"This little girl, don't know if she hates me or what, I called her and she didn't come back."

Qin Huairu complained with a smile, then looked at Liu Haizhong and said: "Ye Ye Erye, Guangfu was picked up today? I said I didn't see you on the road, so you asked for leave—"

"Asked for a day off, picked him up back after nine o'clock in the morning."

Liu Haizhong looked at the Li family's whole family, nodded with some envy, and said: "Took him from head to toe and changed him all over."

"Turning over a new leaf, being a person again."

"To say, it's still you who see clearly," Qin Huairu said seriously: "Listening to what you just said, this really doesn't count as a bad thing."

She pouted her mouth, raised her hand and gently pulled Liu Haizhong's arm and said: "Our alley, you yourself know."

"How many boys as big as Guangfu have been lost in this year, quietly they were gone, alive or dead the family doesn't know."

"Is it—!" Liu Yin asked in surprise: "Why haven't we heard of this?"

"Who can say this if they have this matter at home," Qin Huairu looked at Liu Yin and said: "When asked, they all say they went to work in other places, is it possible?"

"Haven't seen a shadow for a year, such a big boy, what work are they doing, never go home?"

"Sigh—who says it isn't."

Liu Haizhong nodded, sighed and said: "The few who are gone in the alley, I told Guangfu, he himself was also startled."

"Before coming out, he promised me that after coming out, he would definitely be a good person, definitely wouldn't dare to cause trouble again, I see that he is more like a person than before."

"How can you say your own son like that."

Liu Yin comforted with a smile: "Originally the child was young, didn't understand things, inevitably made mistakes, knowing he was wrong is enough, have to look at the future."

"Who knows what he will be like in the future—"

Liu Haizhong drank a sip of hot tea, his expression was a bit low and said: "Books can't be read anymore, he is not that material either."

"Even if there wasn't this matter, he would be unemployed after graduation, at this time where is there work to be assigned, how many people are waiting at home."

After saying this, he looked at Li Xuewu who had been silent, and said: "He told me he wanted to support himself, I can't ignore him."

"I saw Yan Jiefang opposite, doing quite well at the Bai Bai Xiyuan recycling station."

Liu Haizhong asked with a tone of pleading and negotiation: "Look, can you also let Guangfu go along to collect scrap? I'm not asking for anything else for him; no matter what, he should at least rely on his own strength to support himself first."

"This is a good thing, as long as he himself is willing, rely on labor to make money, it's not shameful anywhere."

Li Xuewu stood up, held the thermos and continued to add hot water for Liu Haizhong, and said: "If you and Guangfu have discussed it, I will tell Guodong tonight, this is not a matter, living in the same courtyard."

"That is too grateful to you—" Liu Haizhong finally felt relieved at this moment, and said with a smile: "I told him about Yan Jiefang making money to support the family, he himself is also willing to collect scrap."

"Yan Jiefang is about the same age as him, about the same size, others can earn money to support the family, he is a big boy, why can't he earn?"

"Hey—if you don't say it, you see clearly," Qin Huairu nodded and praised with a smile: "Collecting scrap, so what, earn quite a lot in a month, rely on strength to make money, who looks down on whom?"

She tilted her chin and signaled to the door and said: "Just like Yan Jiefang, who paid attention to him before, a stinking dog shit-like bastard."

"But look at him now, able to speak and talk, takes the initiative to greet and say hello when meeting."

Qin Huairu spread her hands and said: "Just say that Yan family, what kind of thing!"

"He can take the initiative to support his sister-in-law, can earn money to support the family, just relying on this point, do you see anyone pointing fingers behind his back?"

"Now it has to be said that others are righteous, carrying that child on his back limping, didn't lose face, didn't lose status, instead picked up his own face!"

"What is face?"

She looked at Liu Haizhong and said: "Wife and children crying for hunger, can't wear clothes and can't eat, is he having face if he is glorious outside?"

"Have to say treat the child well, treat Comrade Ge Shuqin well, really earned the money uprightly"

Qin Huairu said with a face of conviction: "Really didn't use his parents to support this family, which neighbor doesn't admire?"

"It's really uplifting—"

Liu Yin heard her say this, and also nodded in agreement: "During the New Year, hearing the noise opposite, my heart felt uncomfortable."

"Comrade Ge Shuqin brought a child, he himself is a person with leg problems, this gathered together and let people talk, point fingers, how to live?"

"How to live? Aunt Liu, look at the young couple, they are living well—!"

Qin Huairu pouted her mouth and introduced: "Third Aunt doesn't look after the child and doesn't cook, Yan Jiefang really has ambition, he brings the child and cooks himself."

"You say others are scrap collectors, no face, no money, eating badly?"

She raised her eyebrows and said: "Yan Jiefang knows how to love people, bought a lot of meat for the family, bought milk powder for the child, I don't know how many times I've seen it."

"Is it—"

Liu Yin was surprised when she heard this, and clicked her tongue: "Still have to earn money down-to-earth."

"What do you say, the opposite side is almost angry to death," Qin Huairu glanced at Liu Haizhong and whispered: "Jealousy, smelling the meat and almost angry to death!"

"I also heard about it—"

Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "Said Yan Jiefang raised that child very well, tried his best, the family also eats better."

"Count him meeting a good person," Qin Huairu pursed her lips and explained: "Guodong saw his legs were bad, and he took the initiative to come to the door to ask, didn't even use him to say two words, and agreed to use him."

"Just those things he did before, it's deserved that his legs are bad, who can he blame?"

She pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "If it weren't for him, could Comrade Ge Shuqin take Yan Jiecheng's job?"

"Comrade Ge Shuqin was assigned to logistics after entering the factory, how did she go to the duty room?"

"It was still Xuewu who privately helped her adjust the position, so that she had time to take care of the child."

Qin Huairu pouted: "It's just Xuewu, soft-hearted and kind, change to another, who would actively help them like this without a sound."

"I also heard First Master say, it was still Xuewu taking care of us—"

Liu Haizhong nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "When I came out, Guangfu also told me he was afraid you would be difficult, didn't want me to trouble you."

"I said what is difficult about this, you were wrong, your Second Brother taught you how to be a person, you are now well-learned, asking your Second Brother to teach you how to do things."

He said: "I told Guangfu, I'm not afraid of embarrassment, knowing your Second Brother has ability, living in the same courtyard, I don't ask him, who do I ask?"

"Exactly—"

Liu Yin heard her son promised to help arrange Liu Guangfu's work in the Bai Bai Xiyuan, and at this moment she smiled and agreed: "Living in the same courtyard, all thinking about everyone's good, all hoping the children have a future."

"He only has this ability, naturally he has to help if he can lend a hand," she looked at Liu Haizhong and said: "We don't count on anyone to remember our good, just hope everyone is good."

"Therefore, Ye Ye Erye, you still have to take these eggs back."

Liu Yin didn't wait for Liu Haizhong to say anything more, and said with a firm tone with a smile: "Since he has this heart to help, you also fulfill his righteousness."

"This—I this—"

Liu Haizhong was raised to this point by Liu Yin's words, and didn't know what to say.

"Sister-in-law, I am sincerely sending these eggs, you don't want to..."

"Ye Ye Erye, we don't think crookedly."

Liu Yin smiled and lifted the eggs, put them in Liu Haizhong's hand, and said: "Being able to hear you say Xuewu's good, my heart as a mother is happier than eating these eggs."

"Haizhong, take it back"

The old lady sitting on the chair beside the Eight Immortals table opened her mouth and said: "We have lived in the same courtyard for so many years, everything is easy to discuss, just don't be suspicious, don't be too polite."

"Look at me—sigh—"

Liu Haizhong also smiled embarrassedly, stood up and looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Then I will thank you on behalf of Guangfu."

"Hey, Ye Ye Erye, don't say that."

Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, shook hands with him and said: "When I ask you to do things, I didn't carry eggs to see you."

"Hahaha—!"

Liu Haizhong felt more and more embarrassed, but his heart felt more comfortable.

Qin Huairu also stood up with a smile and said: "Ye Ye Erye, keep these eggs, wait until Xuewu has a second child, then you send them."

"Good! Hahaha, I will definitely come!"

Liu Haizhong had face, and had a step to go down, and was smiling when he went out of the room.

The people in the courtyard were all waiting to watch the fun, but saw Liu Haizhong come out carrying that basket of eggs again, still with such a happy and hearty laugh, one by one opened their eyes wide, wanting to see what happened.

Li Xuewu only sent Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu to the door, Qin Huairu asked about the arrangement of the Red Star Primary School in the second half of the year, heard Li Xuewu ask her to come to the inverted room for dinner in the evening, declined a few words, talked about idle chatter, and then went to the back courtyard.

After Li Xuewu and Liu Yin returned to the room, the people in the courtyard began to discuss and guess, what Liu Haizhong said in the Li family, why these eggs were not sent out and he was so happy.

Dinner was eaten in the inverted room, Li Xuewu went home after work to change clothes, picked up their mother and children to come to the courtyard, when they arrived, what time was it.

Besides, Li Xuewu had already agreed with Sha Zhu to prepare dinner in the inverted room, so Zhao Yafang and the old lady didn't prepare dinner.

It was also just after Liu Haizhong and the others left that Shen Guodong came to call for dinner, the whole family walked towards the inverted room in a mighty way, which made the neighbors in the courtyard envious again, after laughing and talking, there was more discussion.

Some people said Liu Haizhong was really stupid, others said they wouldn't accept gifts, and he took them back directly?

Others said Li Xuewu was aloof, didn't look down on this basket of eggs, and didn't want to touch the Liu family's side.

Still others said Liu Haizhong had ulterior motives, wanting to frame Li Xuewu with a basket of eggs.

Various sayings, everyone had their own opinion, and even as they spoke, there was a meaning of conspiracy theory.

Until dinner time, I don't know who started it first, one room passed to another room, everyone knew that Liu Haizhong had handled his son's work matter.

Of course, it wasn't entering the Red Star Factory, but going to the recycling station in the Bai Bai Xiyuan.

At this time, everyone knew that Li Xuewu didn't take Liu Haizhong's eggs, but also helped him arrange Liu Guangfu's work.

Strange, what did Li Xuewu want, just a good reputation for helping others?

Yan Fugui didn't believe it—!

When hearing this news, he suddenly felt that the stewed eggplant and stewed potatoes on the dinner table tonight had no taste, and eating was not fragrant.

Can't compare with the good, can't compare with the bad?

He had three sons and one daughter, Li Shun had three sons and one daughter, all about the same age.

Living opposite each other, naturally they had to compare.

But later they couldn't compare, couldn't catch up, living in this courtyard, naturally they had to find someone worse than themselves, otherwise they could just die?

Therefore, the Liu family in the back courtyard became the object of Yan Fugui's comparison in his heart.

The Liu family also had three sons, the eldest of both families had decent work, but his own eldest son had an accident and was gone this year.

To say comparing the eldest son and losing?

No, in Yan Fugui's view, an unfilial son like Liu Guangqi is better off dead.

Then compare the second son, his own second son broke his leg, didn't have work after graduation, and carried a bad reputation of marrying his own sister-in-law.

This comparison naturally had to be targeted at the third son of the Liu family, the other party went to prison!

Tian Ji horse racing, he won a move!

No matter what Yan Jiefang does, he didn't go to prison, this belongs to private morality, not related to crime, and doesn't affect other people's lives.

Another point is that now the second son is inspirational, self-reliant, making money to support the family, and has a good reputation.

Therefore, his own second son won without a problem.

Liu family's second son?

Hmm, Liu Guangtian does have ability, heard he is a workshop squad leader in the Northeast.

However, that is in the Northeast, leaving home and business, his own third son can completely compare with him! And occupies an absolute advantage!

Because his own third son is still studying, there is a possibility of taking the college entrance exam and becoming a cadre in the future.

What? You say taking the college entrance exam and becoming a cadre is a delusion or a goal, can't count as a profession?

That can only say your knowledge is shallow, don't understand Yan Fugui's mentality at this time.

In the blind date market in later generations, how do those girls write their profession column?

Hey—!

Yan Fugui's mentality is like this, my third son is studying for the college entrance exam, there are infinite possibilities in the future, even if you are a squad leader, it won't work.

However!

Why can the third son of the Liu family find the same work as his own second son from Li Xuewu here after coming out of prison.

This is unfair, converted, the comparison between these two families is level again!

"Eating—what are you sucking your teeth for?"

Hou Qinghua glanced at Yan Fugui who was frowning and sighing, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Not tasty? Don't want to eat? Stomach uncomfortable?"

"Not—"

Yan Fugui glanced at his third son and youngest daughter, thinking, he still had a chance, that is his youngest daughter having ability.

But daughters are raised for others, what ability can she have that has much to do with him.

How much ability must his third son have to fiercely suppress the sons of the Liu family?

"My heart is annoyed."

"My dad must be thinking about Second Brother."

Yan Jie Di pinched the nest head, picked up a chopstick of eggplant, pouted and said: "I saw it, Second Brother's family is eating stewed potatoes with meat tonight, and scrambled eggs with toon, smelling it is so fragrant."

Saying this, she also sniffed carefully towards the direction of Second Brother's family, pursed her lips and said: "It's just, the toon smell is really strong."

"Eating can't block your mouth, right? If you don't want to eat, get down—!"

Hou Qinghua hates mentioning that second son at the dinner table the most, and meat and toon smell, you have the best nose, I don't see them eating well?

Why angry?

Because when the son ate with them, he never ate so well when paying for food.

Now everyone in the courtyard knows that Yan Jiefang loves his wife Comrade Ge Shuqin, loves the child, he himself is reluctant to eat meat, eat eggs, and tries his best to supplement nutrition for the mother and child, every day he comes back there is something good to eat.

You just say, who did Yan Jiefang put in when he did this? Isn't it her, the mother?

Why? When living together, she treated the daughter-in-law bitterly, treated the son bitterly?

Yes, eating together was not good, but the family has to live, so they have to be frugal, which family's daughter-in-law eats like this!

It's just the opposite Li family, didn't see Zhao Yafang eating meat every day, at most eating eggs every day.

Now it's good, Yan Jiefang stands alone from the family, everyone cooks their own meals, eating much better than before, making her not a person.

Another point, what is having a wife and forgetting the mother, when the old partner Yan Fugui opposed the son raising his sister-in-law, wasn't it her, the mother, who supported it with all her strength, could he have succeeded?

Now it's good, he got Comrade Ge Shuqin as a treasure, seeing the supplement every day, didn't see him feel sorry for her, the mother.

Even if he sent a bowl of meat, a few eggs, it would count as him having a conscience.

Every time eating dinner, as long as she smells the fragrance of meat dishes, her heart feels blocked.

What's the use of raising a son, one by one, can't count on anything, just know how to make people angry!

Thinking like this, looking at the third son again, her eyes carried some resentment.

And Yan Jiekang was thinking about Second Brother's family eating meat, and saw his mother look over.

"Mom, don't look at me! Eldest Sister-in-law brought you a bowl of vegetables, it was you who blocked your anger and said you didn't want it, and also pointed at the mulberry and scolded the locust."

He held the rice bowl, shook his head and said: "I have to say, you have to have the ideological consciousness of 'others eating while you watch, others sitting while you stand', being stubborn is painful—!"

"Roll—!"

"Zhang Xinmin, who is the biggest in this room?"

Sha Zhu drank too much again, but not to the point of being confused, his face was red, he teased Zhang Xinmin who was playing on the kang and asked: "Say, who is the biggest?"

"I say—I say Old Grandma is the biggest!"

Zhang Xinmin pointed at the old lady and said: "Old Grandma is older than Grandpa, and older than Second Grandpa."

Wen San'er's son, same generation as Li Xuewu, naturally has to call the old lady, the old lady, and the second grandpa grandfather and grandmother.

At this moment, Fei Shanying pulled down her son's hand and taught him: "Not allowed to point at people and speak, especially towards Grandma."

Zhang Xinmin is almost five years old, understands everything, heard his mother teach him, so he nodded and remembered.

Sha Zhu still teased him and said: "Wrong! In this room, you are the biggest."

"Me? How am I the biggest?"

Zhang Xinmin knew, not allowed to point at people and speak, so he shook his head and signaled the old lady's direction and said: "I don't have Old Grandma's age, I, I am only four and a half!"

"Look—!"

Sha Zhu sat on the long bench with his back against the dining table, looked at Zhang Xinmin in the kang and counted on his fingers: "Your younger brother Wen Yuan, your Xuewen brother's family's Li Tang, our family's He Zhuang, your Xuewu brother's family's Li Ning and Li Shu, none are older than you."

"You are not only an older brother, but also an uncle, you say, are you the biggest?"

Zhang Xinmin listened to his words, turned his head and looked at the circle of little radishes on the kang table, wasn't it really like this, six children just happened to make a table.

This meal tonight is lively, when eating, a kang of children, chattering, one cries, a string all cry.

The younger generation has grown up, working and housing, marrying and having children, there have always been happy events of adding people to this courtyard, really counting, don't know how many children there are.

It's just that the ones gathered together tonight are all those with good relationships.

"Don't worry, this year Biao Brother can add a big nephew, or big niece for you."

Shen Guodong teased Zhang Xinmin with a smile and asked him: "You have to be prepared for the New Year's red envelope, when the big nephew and big niece come to pay New Year's greetings to you, you can't return the gift empty-handed, right?"

"Ah? —Still need a red envelope?"

Zhang Xinmin was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "I'm still small, why give a red envelope?"

"But you are an uncle!"

Shen Guodong teased him: "We say auspicious words to your dad during the New Year, he gives us red envelopes, you also have to learn from your dad."

"But I don't have a red envelope—"

Zhang Xinmin looked at his mother in difficulty and asked: "Do I have to give them red envelopes?"

He nervously signaled to those milk babies on the kang, none of them can crawl yet, how did they become creditors!

"As long as they say auspicious words, naturally you have to give," Fei Shanying smiled and wiped her son's mouth and said: "You have to save money, otherwise there will be no red envelopes to send out during the New Year."

"Ah? I still have to save money? But my own money is not enough to spend—"

Zhang Xinmin was worried, pinching the small wallet hanging on his chest, looking like a treasure.

"Hahaha—!"

Sha Zhu and Shen Guodong teased the child and succeeded, naturally laughing loudly, Fei Shanying also smiled and taught her son the custom of saying auspicious words and paying New Year's greetings, and elders giving red envelopes to the younger generation.

Li Xuewu watched them make trouble, and also watched Fei Shanying teach the child, his heart was satisfied with her, and also satisfied with Wen San'er's choice.

You say Fei Shanying is a widow, and brought a son, in the future, don't know how much she will bully Wen San'er, right, but Li Xuewu doesn't think so.

Group stereotyping, or identity guilt theory, is absolutely a paradox.

Who says a widow with a son can't be married, who says this son will definitely hate his stepfather when he grows up? Have to look at what kind of widow she is.

Just looking at Fei Shanying daring to leave her home and business to follow Wen San'er to the Steel City, giving birth to a son for him, daring to let Wen San'er go to such a far place to do business, it has to be said that Fei Shanying has the heart to live with Wen San'er, she is a transparent person.

At the beginning, choosing Wen San'er to live together wasn't her initiative, it was her son Zhang Xinmin who chose this stepfather himself.

Wen San'er also lived up to this mother and son, going out to fight, having Li Xuewu and the others take care of them, and occasionally sending things home.

Just Fei Shanying's life now, ordinary people really can't compare, far from being able to compare.

Does Fei Shanying have money in her hand?

Yes, but absolutely not much, just the more than 1,000 yuan Wen San'er left her when he left.

Wen San'er has been out for so long, hasn't sent her money back even once, Li Xuewu's side didn't say to give her money, and even helping in the recycling station, Shen Guodong didn't say to give her wages.

Therefore, the more than 1,000 yuan in her hand is still more than 1,000 yuan until now.

She doesn't earn money, but she doesn't spend money either.

Three meals a day, unless she wants to eat something special and cooks a bit at home, otherwise she eats on the recycling station side.

When Shen Guodong and Chen Xiaoyan come to work in the morning, they have to pick her up to the Bai Bai Xiyuan, and after breakfast, she arranges it herself.

Diliya also brings the child, mostly handing it to her to bring, and goes to the recycling station to work herself.

Daily necessities, before she finishes using them, Chen Xiaoyan buys them and sends them home.

Why else say Wen San'er dared to send them back to Beijing, and go to Hong Kong alone, he had a count in his heart.

What's not counted, these brothers and sisters, taking care of her must be more attentive than Wen San'er taking care of her personally, becoming a relative third aunt.

Therefore, Fei Shanying, who has a peaceful mentality and no life pressure, is also gentle and strong, careful and serious when teaching children.

"The warehouse side is cleaned up, I'm thinking when to move over."

Shen Guodong touched glasses with Li Xuewu and introduced: "Director Wang helped run down the procedures and so on, we cleaned up the things in the eight large warehouses, just waiting to be used."

"There is a row of flat houses over there, I'm thinking of using them as offices, duty rooms, and dormitories, in the future the boys will just go over there to live."

"What about here?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked: "The recycling station and the distribution store can't move, right?"

"Can't move, naturally can't move."

Shen Guodong shook his head and said: "In the future, it will still be normal operation here, just when collecting cars at night, scrap will be sent directly to the warehouse."

"What about the small factory? Preparing to do what?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked: "Does the street have any specific requirements?"

"No, Director Wang didn't mention it, just let me grab it tightly, get it up as soon as possible."

Shen Guodong scratched his head and said: "If you want to set up a small factory on the warehouse side, dangerous goods industries like match factories cannot be touched."

"I'm thinking of setting up a packaging factory or something, we have our own papermaking channels, these commodities all have packaging needs, what do you say?"

"I don't know, think about it yourself."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Can't count on me for everything, in the future you have to learn to think about problems yourself, independently face management challenges."

He waved his hand, not wanting to hear how Shen Guodong spent 2,500 yuan to get the special business license from the supply and marketing cooperative and the street side.

He told himself about these things some time ago, and Yu Li helped advise him.

Shen Guodong is good at everything, just too careful, too cautious.

"I'll set a rule, in the future, don't ask me about things below 5,000 yuan at such gatherings, decide for yourself."

Li Xuewu set a standard for Shen Guodong with a smile, saving him from having no bottom in his heart, this sentence made everyone in the room laugh out loud.

The recycling station develops well, everyone's life is naturally good, who could have thought that collecting scrap could make a fortune, well, anyway Fei Shanying didn't think of it.

"If you don't want to chat about this, what do you want to chat about?" Shen Guodong asked with a smile: "Don't tell me it's chatting about how to teach children, how to raise children?"

"Hahahaha—!"

Because of Shen Guodong's teasing, loud laughter sounded in the room again, Li Shu heard them laughing, was stunned for a moment and also followed and laughed.

She laughed inexplicably, but everyone laughed, if she didn't laugh, she felt it wasn't appropriate.

But Li Shu laughed, everyone laughed even louder.

"Hey—you really guessed it right!"

Li Xuewu pointed at Shen Guodong with a smile and said: "In the future, when we gather, we have to talk about how to teach and raise children, this is a great learning and a great problem!"

"And personal problems—!"

He turned his head to look at Wang Yamei who was eating in the kang and asked: "Yamei, didn't you say you were going on a blind date last time, why is there no movement recently?"

"Hmm? Why is it about me—"

Wang Yamei was holding her rice bowl and watching the fun, suddenly she was attacked by Li Xuewu, and she said coquettishly: "Wu Ge, do you know I didn't succeed?"

"Or you introduce one to me!" ===== CHAPTER 1116 =====
