Chapter 1205: Try eating one

~33 min read 6,595 words

"The situation has changed, and the methods of work must also change accordingly."

Li Xuewu distributed cigarettes to Yin Mancang and Shen Guodong, threw the rest to Lao Jiu, and signaled him to help himself.

Lao Jiu took the cigarette, looked at him a bit embarrassed, and got up with Lao Shi and others to smoke outside.

The Thirteen Taibao, scattered in various places, he was the biggest in Beijing, named Dai Yongxing.

What are they? They are disciples.

Whose disciples?

Anyway, not Li Xuewu's; whoever they sell their lives for, they are whose.

"What about those who can't keep up with the situation now?"

Li Xuewu saw that both of them were holding cigarettes and didn't light them, knowing they were concerned about their families.

"Not to mention those seen with one's own eyes, even those heard are enough to be alerted more than a hundred times."

"Yes, I know—"

Yin Mancang pinched the filter tip, nodded in agreement, and said: "It's always the case that the situation is stronger than people."

"I know, work is not easy to do now."

Li Xuewu picked up a match, struck it, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "There must be a lot of bitterness, right?"

"Hmm—"

Yin Mancang first leaned over to light the cigarette, then laughed, saying: "What bitterness, what bitterness."

Seeing Li Xuewu light Shen Guodong's cigarette, he sighed: "Since you've taken advantage, don't sell well, right?"

"Hahaha—"

Li Xuewu laughed, shook out the match in his hand, and threw it into the ashtray.

After dinner, Gu Ning coaxed the two children back upstairs, while Qin Jingru and mother Liu Yin tidied up in the kitchen.

Yin Mancang and Shen Guodong, who came to send winter supplies to the house, chatted and drank tea with Li Xuewu in the living room.

Everyone in the family knew that Yin Mancang came to the house not entirely for a visit, but with the purpose of wanting to talk to Li Xuewu.

Look, when they were in the courtyard, everyone interacted with each other, and it wasn't embarrassing for the front and back courtyards to sit in each other's houses.

But since Li Xuewu moved to this side after getting married, relatives or friends rarely came.

Unless there was something, like Shen Guodong coming to send rice, flour, grain, and firewood, or Yu Li bringing documents.

Caring about Gu Ning is one aspect, and on the other hand, it's also taking care of Li Xuewu's status.

After all, it's different from the past now; if the door was really crowded, Li Xuewu would be tied up in his work.

Even if it's just visiting between relatives and normal interaction, in the eyes of outsiders, this is also a crime of seeking personal gain.

Not to mention sending things truck by truck to the house; neighbors who don't know might think how much he has embezzled.

This year's winter came early, and the temperature on the mountain is even a few degrees lower than at the foot of the mountain.

So potatoes, Chinese cabbage, radishes, and so on were sent over in mid-October.

The Li family isn't unable to afford autumn vegetables, nor are they greedy for this little advantage, and besides, this isn't an advantage.

Shen Guodong unified the purchase and distributed it to each family, which counts as a kind of welfare.

Li Xuewu's side is more complete, coal blocks, firewood, kindling, these are all arranged by Shen Guodong.

Just look at the few people in Li Xuewu's house and you'll know; if they were to busy themselves with these, they would definitely be too busy.

Liu Yin and Qin Jingru have to take care of two children and tidy up the housework, and Qin Jingru has to go home at night.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning are even less like people who handle housework; you weigh it, who among these two looks like they can buy vegetables?

One share for Haiyuncang No. 1, one share for the courtyard's inverted room and the Li family, one share for the recycling warehouse, one share for the third aunt Fei Shanying, one share for Wang Yamei, and one share for Seeing Sha Zhu's house.

This is just to say that their own people and their own business have to be taken care of, and there are relatives and relationships.

Dong Wenxue's house, godmother's house, supply and marketing cooperative Director Ma's house...

These are things from the mountain; pulling them to the city is money, but on the mountain, it doesn't count as much money.

But if you really send them to the house, that's a huge favor, and it really makes people envious on the surface.

Shen Guodong looks honest; no matter whose house he goes to, he either calls them aunt or auntie, and even though the neighbors know he's here to send gifts, they can't pick out any faults.

Driving a small truck to send winter specialties is much more practical than bringing two bottles of wine to the door, right?

Actually, if you calculate it, half a truck of things might not necessarily be as valuable as those two bottles of wine, but it wins in sincerity.

You can choose not to drink, but you can't choose not to eat Chinese cabbage, right?

In this era of the Four Nine Cities, there is a special sentiment towards Chinese cabbage.

On the way back from the factory, Li Xuewu saw that there were already places distributing Chinese cabbage on both sides of the street.

Good heavens, piled up like a mountain, pulling them home truck by truck, looking like they wouldn't mind buying as much as possible.

Only at this time is autumn vegetable supply unlimited; this is the ration vegetable for a whole winter.

If there are women in the family with skills, this Chinese cabbage can be made for you in eighteen different ways.

If there are no skills, eat it for one meal, eat it for the next, eating you until you are more vegetable than Chinese cabbage.

The autumn vegetables Shen Guodong sent to the house have more varieties; besides regular autumn vegetables like Chinese cabbage, radishes, and potatoes, there are also green onions, garlic, carrots, dried chili, etc.

Special sincerity, Yin Mancang also sent a roe deer, all meat strips with skin removed, very particular.

"Actually, our commune was okay this year."

Yin Mancang smiled, flicked the cigarette ash, bumped Shen Guodong with his arm, and said: "Isn't it stronger than previous years? It's enough to look at compared to other communes!"

"That's much stronger—"

Shen Guodong nodded in agreement and said: "The key is that the Red Star Commune doesn't have messy things."

"Actually, there are some, it's just that it's too far from the county seat, and it's not convenient to go up the mountain."

Yin Mancang smiled and looked at Li Xuewu, saying: "That road up the mountain, we have to break it from time to time, especially when there's a phone call saying there's going to be an inspection."

"Hehehe—too wicked—"

Shen Guodong said with a smile: "The kind that even pits its own people; my truck got stuck in the mud twice."

"Then you're still lucky—"

Yin Mancang glanced at him sideways and said: "Er Xiaozi and the others laid row nails, didn't puncture you!"

"They really dared!" Shen Guodong pursed his lips and said: "If I catch them, I'll definitely kick them into the trench."

"Hehehe—"

Yin Mancang laughed lightly, turned to Li Xuewu and said: "Actually, it's also damn forced."

"Just say it, is it easy to earn these two cents—"

He pointed to his palm and calculated for Li Xuewu while talking: "In terms of farming, we are mountain land; the grain yield is completely incomparable to below."

"Just like this, our commune has to complete the public grain task indicators every year; you say, am I worried?"

He bared his teeth, his tone carrying a bit of resentment and fierceness: "If we really let those grandsons who eat human food and don't do human things come up the mountain, can we still live?"

"Raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, sheep, rabbits, cows, don't we want to live a good life?"

"Whoever doesn't want to is a grandson, right?"

Yin Mancang shrugged his shoulders, stretched the Zhongshan suit he was wearing, and asked Shen Guodong.

"Right, that's it—" Shen Guodong nodded in agreement: "Only grandsons don't want to—"

"Go—"

Yin Mancang was laughed at by him and bumped him with his elbow.

The two dealt with each other too much, and they were relatives by marriage, so the relationship was very good.

Calling him uncle, there was no lack of playing around on weekdays.

If you call him uncle, you can't make jokes randomly.

"But seriously, this year, although there was no rest, it really didn't make things difficult for me."

Yin Mancang turned back to Li Xuewu and said earnestly: "It should be said that the Wei Third Regiment and the Red Star Factory stationed in our village really brought us a lot of convenience."

"Mutual help—"

Li Xuewu nodded and said approvingly: "The Wei Third Regiment talks about fish-water feelings, and what we talk about is true feelings."

"Hehehe—" Shen Guodong heard Brother Wu talking nonsense and found it funny, laughing at this moment.

Yin Mancang didn't mind; Li Xuewu was saying this backwards, it was clearly a relationship of interests.

But the relationship between him and Li Xuewu was not just a relationship of interests.

Just like the attitude he just expressed, the Red Star Commune did borrow the light of the Red Star Factory and the Wei Third Regiment.

If it weren't for these two big mountains in the commune, who knows how the district and county would have treated him.

"We are our own people sitting here, let's talk about real things—"

Yin Mancang pointed to the sofa armrest and said: "More than a dozen big tile-roofed houses were built in a year; doesn't it make people envious?"

"Brick kilns, tile pot kilns, vegetable greenhouses covered a large area; doesn't it make people jealous?"

He nodded and said: "Right, we know it in our hearts; who treats us well? Who is jealous of us?"

"I said at the village committee, whoever doesn't want to live in a brick-tiled house, whoever doesn't want to marry a wife and have children, then you compete with me, compete with the villagers, right?"

"Old Uncle, it hasn't been easy this year either."

Shen Guodong nodded and introduced earnestly: "The pressure from above is great, and the pressure from below is also great."

"It was easy to talk about when we were poor before; everyone was bare-assed, just listen to the team leader's arrangements for farming."

He clapped his hands and said: "Now, there's a little money in the pocket; those with brains are building houses and pig pens, and those without brains are starting to look for crooked ways."

"Gambling is a big harm—"

Li Xuewu understood what he meant; the three major things that ruin a family, in this era, only gambling is worth money.

After all, the other two things, one can't get in, and the other isn't worth money; what Shen Guodong wants to say is self-evident.

"Hey, the human heart is like the sea, can't be blocked."

Yin Mancang sighed and said: "I told the joint defense team anyway, if you catch them, beat them to death."

"Still have to pay attention to methods."

Li Xuewu advised slightly and asked: "How are the projects on the mountain going this year?"

"Related to our village, it's just vegetables, fruit forests, and brick and tile factories."

Yin Mancang scratched his beard, remembered something, and added: "Oh, right, there's also Chinese herbal medicine."

"Your father advised us to find spare land to plant some medicinal materials; this thing is really valuable if it's valuable."

He tilted his head and said: "But this thing has to be carefully served; the Wei Third Regiment wants to do it."

"We still think planting fruit trees and buckling vegetable greenhouses is more practical."

"Fruit trees mainly supply the cannery, and vegetables, besides supplying the foot of the mountain, can also be made into salted vegetables."

Shen Guodong explained to Li Xuewu and looked at Yin Mancang, saying: "Actually, Chinese medicine is more profitable, Uncle."

"Don't I know?"

Yin Mancang sighed, shook his head slightly and said: "But in our commune, those with shallow eyelids, how many have the patience to earn this money?"

"We, we deserve to suffer great fatigue."

"What did Uncle Mancang come for?"

The night wasn't deep; Yin Mancang and Shen Guodong and others only sat for a while, and left after the time of two cigarettes.

It wasn't open to smoke and drink tea in this room, and talking to Li Xuewu was the same.

He had long felt that the second son of the relative wouldn't be a thing in a pool; only two years later, he was the person who brought him pressure.

He came today, and said what he had to say, so that was it.

He wouldn't go back at night; early tomorrow morning, he would go back up the mountain with the truck pulling Chinese cabbage from the recycling station.

"One is to visit, Mom is in our house after all."

Li Xuewu lay on the bed, shook his head, and found a comfortable position.

Watching Gu Ning sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, he continued to explain: "Another is the matter on the mountain."

"Asking for your opinion, or asking you for help?"

Gu Ning didn't care much about this, just asked casually, reminding him: "I saw him hesitating to speak during dinner."

"Not feeling solid in his heart, right," Li Xuewu picked up the book on the bedside table and flipped through it, saying casually: "This person, suddenly getting some things, will first doubt his own ability."

"Doubt what ability?"

Gu Ning stood up, looked at Li Ning in the small bed, and walked to the bedside to sit down.

Li Xuewu flipped a page and said: "Doubt his own right to use these things."

This was said unclearly; was it mysterious or nonsense?

Gu Ning turned back to look at him, rubbed the remaining hand oil on her hands, and lay down with her body twisted.

"I thought he was asking you for help."

"Hmm, not really, what's wrong?"

Li Xuewu tilted his head to look at her and asked: "What did Mom tell you?"

"Nothing, what can Mom say—"

Gu Ning lay on the pillow looking at the ceiling and said: "I'm thinking, how should you handle and refuse those who ask you for help."

"Someone asked you for help?"

Li Xuewu knew that she had always ignored family human relationships, so there must be a reason for suddenly asking.

Since they met, especially after getting married, he had taught Gu Ning several times.

But her mind wasn't that clever, and she didn't have the thought of human relationships.

So there were changes, but not many.

Mostly it was about getting along with family members, which wouldn't make people say impolite things, but she wouldn't do more.

The relationships between relatives and friends in the family, Li Xuewu thought of everything, and Li Xuewu went to give gifts during festivals.

These could be dealt with, only the relationships at work.

After Li Xuewu taught her, or helped her ease the relationship in the department, she also had more human contact at work.

There are also colleague gift money in this era; when they got married, colleagues from the hospital came to eat at the banquet.

Correspondingly, when colleagues handle things, Gu Ning also has to go.

This made her suffer; even if the wind is tight during this period, everyone still has to handle things.

Always giving gifts but not attending, people are also unwilling; after all, it's not just a gift money.

What is called giving face, on a happy day, lively, the food is prepared, if there are few people, where to put the face.

But as long as you sit at the banquet, there's a lot to say.

In the department, in the hospital, many things that are hard to mention can be said in a joking tone at the banquet.

You say you don't agree to him, everyone has no face on a good day, how embarrassing.

But if you agree to him, then he will climb up the pole, chasing you to handle things.

Counting the whole hospital, who doesn't know Gu Ning's background and relationship.

You say parents and brothers are not in Beijing, the relationship is gone, but who believes it?

The relationship on the mother's side is gone, what about the husband's side?

Many people asking her to handle things now are running for Li Xuewu.

Having face in the locality, having a part-time job in the Wei Third Regiment, and being a leader of the Red Star Factory.

Recently, the topics about the Red Star Factory have become more and more, especially related to education.

No matter what period, children's education is the top priority for parents.

How difficult it is to get a quota for the Red Star Joint School, how many people in Beijing have hit their noses with ash.

Roundabout, knowing Li Xuewu's identity, one by one started playing curve to save the country.

Gu Ning has a tender face and a clumsy mouth; as long as she agrees to one, it's easy to talk about the rest.

Even if it costs some money, sends some gifts.

"Stupid, why didn't you tell me if you had something?"

Li Xuewu listened to her account, closed the book in his hand, tapped her nose, and said: "Are you stupid?"

Gu Ning patted his hand away, helplessly and depressedly said: "They all said it like that..."

"How did they say it?"

Li Xuewu turned back to put the book away, leaned on his arm, and lay on his side beside her, saying: "Do you care so much about what they say?"

"Where did the ice and snow doctor of the past go?"

He deliberately teased his wife and said: "Where is your aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away?"

Gu Ning's nasal breathing gradually increased, staring at Li Xuewu without speaking.

She was really going to be angry; it was him who made her ease the relationship with colleagues in the department, and it was him who teased her at this moment.

How come he is always right, right?

"I'll teach you how to say it," Li Xuewu leaned his head on his right hand, put his left hand on Gu Ning's stomach, and asked: "But how do you plan to repay me?"

"By beating you up?"

Gu Ning patted his big hand lightly, stared at him, and reminded: "Woke the child up, you coax him!"

"If you used this ruthlessness in interpersonal communication, would you be troubled by these human relationships?"

Li Xuewu didn't fear his wife's threat at all, sized her up and said: "If someone asks you to handle things again, just agree to him readily, but don't say it too solidly."

"It's inevitable between colleagues, you help me, I help you, this is all very normal."

He rubbed his wife's stomach and said: "Some requests don't violate principles, and can be handled by hand."

"What about those that violate principles?"

Gu Ning tilted her head, looked at him earnestly, and asked: "For example, those asking you to help handle school admission procedures."

"I taught you—"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Agree to him, but don't seal the words."

"Everything is the same, no one likes to be rejected; try not to have negative words like 'no' in the conversation, you can express your difficulty tactfully."

He taught Gu Ning: "If someone asks to handle school admission, just tell me the relevant materials, at most let them participate in an exam and interview again."

"Prepared fully, qualified, everyone is happy," Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "If they still don't qualify, just say there are people from the investigation team."

"Is there really an investigation team?"

Gu Ning was stunned for a moment, looked at him and asked: "Is it here to investigate this kind of thing?"

"Just make it up; our factory's own school, at most it's an investigation team, where does the investigation team come from."

Li Xuewu didn't even need to draft when telling lies, saying casually: "You say there is, can he still chase and investigate?"

"This also works?"

Gu Ning widened her eyes, hesitated and asked: "Will it be a bit fake?"

"Hmm, you have a bit of a fake expression with this."

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "Actually, if the matter isn't handled, people will know you didn't help."

"But you agreed well when asking, and the words weren't that full, he can't blame you, right?"

He patted his wife's face and said: "Besides, what he thinks is all speculation; the face is passed, even if he doesn't accept your favor, he won't hate you."

"However, when replying to him, you must use a regretful and helpless expression, and the words must reveal the meaning of understanding and regret."

"Like this..."

Gu Ning frowned slightly, pondering the techniques he taught her.

Li Xuewu took advantage of her thinking, and his hands started to become dishonest.

Exchanged with knowledge, so what!

It's just so hard, afraid, right!

"Hey—"

Gu Ning was startled by him, grabbed his big hand with both hands, and reminded: "I'm having that."

"Really or fake?" Li Xuewu looked at her suspiciously and asked: "You aren't lying to me, right?"

"Go to yours—"

Gu Ning's expression was full of regret and helplessness, and she said in a tone that she felt was understanding and regretful: "It's true."

"Gu Ning, you've learned to be bad—"

Li Xuewu stared and said angrily: "I taught you these to deal with others, not to fool your lover!"

"You don't take me seriously at all; you just learned from me and used it on me?"

"You! Ah! The child is awake—"

On Sunday, the family was busy with sauerkraut; mother Liu Yin and Qin Jingru were busy, and Gu Ning brought the child.

Li Xuewu was going to the club, first turned around the courtyard side.

Seeing the news in the newspaper in Steel City, he guessed that the eldest brother and sister-in-law must be anxious.

Of course, it also included the third child on the mountain.

Regarding the resumption of classes, the family was anxious, but Li Xuewu wasn't anxious.

The work relationship won't be cleared away for a while; the important thing is to sort out the current situation.

"Yo—who's back?"

Yushui came out of the inverted room, seeing Li Xuewu in a black fur-collared leather jacket entering the courtyard, couldn't help but tease: "Dressed like a bear, ugly to death—"

"Does it bother you?"

Li Xuewu glanced at her and asked: "Where's your brother?"

"Went to hit a bear!"

Yushui rolled her eyes, hummed, and walked towards the west courtyard.

Li Xuewu sized up the back of this big girl, feeling awkward no matter how he looked at it.

A good girl, how did she grow such a mouth.

A fur-collared leather jacket is a bear, then what is a fur-collared coat?

You don't say, he really has a fur-collared coat.

The leather jacket was custom-made by himself; the third industry in the factory has a leather factory, and Master Li of the first supervision office has genuine good craftsmanship.

The fur-collared coat isn't; there was one in the luggage brought back this time, sent by Zhou Ya Mei.

It is said to be Russian goods; where it came from, how it came, Li Xuewu didn't ask, and she couldn't explain it clearly even if she asked.

This thing only has one channel, which is "privately walked over".

You say it's impossible; the relationship is not good in this era, it's impossible to have this kind of trade.

Actually, the relationship between countries shouldn't be judged simply by one or two events, and don't follow the crowd.

In later generations, how is the relationship between China and South Korea?

That is a genuine strategic cooperative partnership.

We have been the largest trading partner of South Korea for 20 consecutive years; what does this mean?

Buying more than 300 billion of our goods every year, you say this is a country with a bad relationship?

Looking at Northern Russia, it is cold in this period, but it didn't build a national border wall like Trump.

You say the relationship is tense, can it be as tense as the White Elephant changing its capital after being beaten?

Looking at problems must be multi-angled, have independent thinking to think, to distinguish.

As long as there is a market for this thing, it can walk over by itself even if it digs a hole, believe it or not?

Correspondingly, you say the situation is bad in this period, but isn't the life of the common people still lived as it should be?

"This Chinese cabbage is really not bad—"

Li Xuewu walked into the hanging flower gate, glanced at the third uncle squatting by the wall tidying up the cabbage pile.

He greeted with a smile: "Want to buy so much?"

"This year's cabbage is a bumper harvest, didn't you read the newspaper?"

Yan Fugui held a kitchen knife in his hand, was shaving off the rotten cabbage leaves, carefully and cautiously, like carving flowers.

He was very afraid of shaving off the good parts, which would be too heartbreaking.

"Buy more to eat your fill, and can also make a contribution to the cooperative, you say, right?"

"You still have consciousness—"

Li Xuewu looked at him freshly, nodded and said: "Why didn't the street arrange for the newspaper office to interview you?"

"This is too unreasonable." He said to the first uncle who walked over: "Like the third uncle, such an excellent typical, I think it should be written about extensively!"

"But to talk about being in the newspaper, your image isn't that great."

Li Xuewu smiled and blinked, teasing him: "That fountain pen must be clipped, the rolled cigarette on the ear can't be there, change it to a pencil..."

"Go to yours—"

Yan Fugui threw a cabbage leaf, laughed angrily: "Caught me and teased me, right?"

"He's looking at your clothes, it's a pity—"

Yi Zhonghai looked at him with a smile and praised: "Made new clothes before this?"

"Where, Shuqin made it."

Yan Fugui explained proudly: "I just changed into it, just preparing to go out, and then work came."

He signaled the cabbage in his hand and said: "Finish tidying up today, dry it for a few days and it will freeze."

"Yo! Filial piety from the daughter-in-law?"

Seeing Sha Zhu chased from the hanging flower gate; he heard Li Xuewu's movement.

At this moment, he teased: "Really fresh, hey, your family's program is a big reunion?"

"Nonsense—"

Yan Fugui pursed his lips and said: "What program can our family have, family harmony and everything prospers has always been—"

"I believe this!"

Seeing Sha Zhu pursed his big mouth and gestured with a thumb, saying: "Then I tell everyone outside, the whole courtyard is my third uncle's family that is most harmonious, mainly because the third uncle is a decent person!"

"Hey! Caught me!"

Yan Fugui put down the kitchen knife, stood up and walked over to ask: "Why, idle?"

"Have one?"

Seeing Sha Zhu took out a cigarette, passed it directly to the first uncle and third uncle, bypassing Li Xuewu.

He raised his eyebrows and said: "Where can I be idle, isn't it because I saw Xuewu back."

"Why, is the Steel City matter finished?"

"Not finished, work has no end."

Li Xuewu put his hands in his pockets, facing the warm sun at this moment, looked at him and asked: "Is the backyard all tidied up?"

"Nothing to tidy up, what's there?"

Seeing Sha Zhu tilted his head and said: "The old lady didn't leave anything good, a bed, a few cabinets."

"I tidied up the junk, sold what should be sold, threw away what should be thrown, and gave away what could be used."

He smoked a cigarette and introduced: "The back room is temporarily not in use, I'm thinking of building a kang, there's use for it here, no need to look for accommodation outside."

"How many times can it be used?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "Next year the factory might replace houses, no ideas?"

"Zhuzi is bold—"

Yan Fugui interjected on the side: "His own three rooms plus the span, plus the backyard."

He looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "How big a building can this be exchanged for?"

"Wait and see, don't know what's going on yet."

Seeing Sha Zhu hesitated and said: "I like living in a bungalow, besides Diliya is still here."

He looked back and explained: "If I can really change houses next year, I'll change a smaller one for Yushui."

"I say so too," Yi Zhonghai nodded and said: "I've also been to the building, no matter how I look at it, it feels suffocating, not as convenient as living in this bungalow."

"Tsk—old thinking, right!"

Yan Fugui put his hands in his sleeves, regardless of whether it was new clothes or not, and said: "Living in a building is clean."

"Look at this ground, broken houses and rotten tiles, what's there to be rare about, I want to change to a building."

He signaled behind him and said in a low voice: "Our second son said, when the time comes, he will give me the qualification for the replacement house, let me and his mother go upstairs to enjoy happiness, and he will come to live in our room."

"How is it calculated?" Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked: "Use his small room to exchange for a building?"

"Mainly Shuqin's qualification, right," Yan Fugui explained hesitantly: "Use that ear room and add some money to change us old couple into a twenty-something square meter one, enough to live in."

"If it's just you and the third aunt, twenty square meters is enough," Li Xuewu raised his eyes and signaled the opposite door, asking: "What about the two little ones?"

"Don't care about the son and daughter anymore?"

"Hey, how can that be—"

Yan Fugui said with a bit of pride: "The second son figured it out, let me and his mother go upstairs to enjoy happiness, he brings Jiekun and Jiedi to live in this room, says it's just right."

"Isn't this just right—"

Seeing Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xuewu, but praised: "This idea was thought of by you, right? Must be you! Yan Jiefang isn't that smart!"

"Hey—family harmony and everything prospers!"

Yan Fugui didn't deny it, just couldn't suppress the smile and pride on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xuewu and the three people looking at him looked at each other, thinking it was a good show one after another!

When the old man plots against the son and daughter-in-law, don't know if it's the son who has become ruthless, or the daughter-in-law who is impatient, this is going to give Yan Fugui a lesson.

You don't say, he is still complacent here!

"Why did you talk about autumn clothes?"

Zhao Yafang sat by the kang, teasing the child playing on the kang, and turned back to look at the second uncle.

Li Xuewu was sitting face to face with his eldest brother, playing with the chess pieces that had been polished shiny long ago.

This set of chess is a very old thing; since Li Xuewu could remember, it had been in the family.

When he was small and hadn't started being naughty, he remembered the old lady teaching the brothers to play chess.

It's just that the memory gradually blurred, and more joy was when playing outside.

"Showing off to me, heard by Brother Zhu."

Li Xuewu moved the horse, sat on the stool and explained: "Think about it, there are no good words in his mouth."

"You move here is wrong—"

Li Xuewu reminded his younger brother: "I want to eat your horse, and I can check you."

"Oh, then you try eating one."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows with a bad smile and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a leather jacket, I can afford to lose."

"Can't I afford to lose?"

Li Xuewu frowned and looked at him, but then frowned and stared at the chessboard.

He said he wanted to eat the horse, and Li Xuewu let him eat, but now he couldn't bite for a long time.

Don't think it's that simple; Li Xuewu knows this younger brother best, seemingly confused, but actually extremely cunning!

Never suffered a loss, always ate fragrant and drank spicy.

Zhao Yafang couldn't be bothered to talk about the brothers, played with toys to tease Li Tang, and asked: "The school wrote to us, asking us to go back and report."

"Then go back," Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of hot tea, saying casually: "Do whatever you are asked to do, can't always stay at home."

"But it doesn't matter if it's a bit later."

He put down the teacup, turned back to his sister-in-law and said: "Let Uncle write a material for you two, just say you were supporting agriculture in Red Star Village during this time, temporarily unable to leave."

"Really write?"

Zhao Yafang was slightly stunned, the second uncle is good at making trouble, she really couldn't tell if what he said was true or false for a while.

"I bring up the child at home, neighbors who don't know, in case the school asks..."

"Ask then, the material isn't fake."

Li Xuewu stared at the chessboard and reminded his eldest brother: "Don't move the chess pieces—I remember them all!"

"What do you take me for—"

Li Xuewu frowned angrily, looking like he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

Zhao Yafang looked at it happily; clearly, he was just about to change the chess pieces.

Li Xuewu is gentle and elegant with everyone, a scholar's style, only in front of her, in front of the second uncle, he looks like a normal young man.

This kind of thing that only children would do, secretly changing chess pieces, is only used by these brothers when playing chess.

"Rest assured, no one will come to ask."

Li Xuewu turned back and explained: "Do you know how terrible the management of the teaching staff in your school is now?"

"Even if you go back now, I guess, just like what you just said, report."

He pursed his lips and said: "The school probably just wants to see if these teachers scattered outside are still there, and if they are still breathing."

"As for starting school, wait a bit longer."

"This time you went to Steel City, it can be considered giving him courage—"

Yu Li placed the materials on Li Xuewu's desk and said with a smile: "Ordered ten cargo ships in one go."

"That's not him paying," Li Xuewu said without raising his head: "Hong Kong transferred from the mainland to order ships, but it just went through Dongfeng Shipping's account."

"Dongfeng Shipping orders ships, then leases them to the Shunfeng Ocean Company in Hong Kong?"

Yu Li thought for a while and asked: "Doing this is for... for what?"

"Think carefully, read more books if you don't understand."

Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful, frowned and asked: "Why did the taste of this tea change?"

"Green tea, you don't like drinking it?"

Yu Li took the teacup and said: "Thought you liked it, specially prepared it for you."

"Hurts the stomach, change to black tea, winter is here."

Li Xuewu instructed casually and looked at the materials in his hand and asked: "Did the news from Hong Kong come back?"

"Said it's quite fierce," Yu Li put down the teacup and helped him find the relevant information and introduced: "Several capital forces entered the market, it seems it's not just a simple problem of acquiring Watsons anymore."

"Then what is the problem?" Li Xuewu pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "It's not like acquiring Hong Kong."

"Playing finance, or specifically."

He pointed to the materials and said to Yu Li: "They all like to look at data, and in speech and execution, they stubbornly believe that data won't lie."

"Actually?"

Yu Li asked curiously: "Data shouldn't be real? How can it lie?"

"Wrong, it's not that data will lie, it's that people will use data to lie."

Li Xuewu put down the documents in his hand and said: "Do you know that these data are all real?"

"Those companies hanging on the stock market, all fished out and shaken, squeezed the water."

He pointed to the materials and said: "To say that one percent can truly disclose financial reports, I count them as saints!"

"The game played by the Oriental Era Bank itself is fooling people, it's just that the plate is bigger."

"Saying this, there are no good people outside."

Yu Li said with a smile: "I don't understand the stock market, nor do I understand finance, I just know Lou Xiaoe has a headache."

"So come to write, asking for the divine doctor, right?"

Li Xuewu smiled proudly and proudly: "She asked the right person, our family has medical inheritance for generations, saving lives and healing the wounded, Bian Que is alive again."

"Headache treats the head, foot pain treats the foot."

He said while writing two words on the paper, saying: "Tell her, take medicine on time."

"What is this?"

Yu Li looked at the note in her hand, there were really only two words on it, "What does Pound mean?"

She didn't think this was a prescription, let alone a medicine primer; she couldn't eat pounds, right?

Hey! She really guessed it right.

Li Xuewu was thousands of miles away and could know what headache Lou Xiaoe had.

Nothing more than money making trouble; too much money makes the head ache, too little money makes the head ache; bankers all over the world are like this.

Now is this time, this symptom, just right to eat some pounds, maybe you can eat a fat man.

Of course, the Oriental Era Bank's volume is insufficient; let everyone eat together, start eating from Hong Kong.

This can also be considered a ticket for Lou Xiaoe to rank among the tycoons in Hong Kong; if it doesn't work, she will have to be called a Justice of the Peace later.

Peace? Heh, where is there peace among these people.

Ps: Guess what medicine this prescription is? ===== CHAPTER 1206 =====

Of course, the scale of the Oriental Era Bank is insufficient; if we want to eat, we must all eat together, starting from Hong Kong.

This can also be considered a ticket for Lou Xiaoe to join the ranks of Hong Kong tycoons; if things don't go well, she might have to be called a Justice of the Peace in the future.

Peace? Heh, among these people, where is there any peace?

Ps: Guess what kind of medicine this is?
