Chapter 123

~8 min read 1,433 words

Actually, that fifth person's position was for Master Dou, not counting himself.

Ten people is ten people. What if there are more people in the future?

Returning home, he poured out half a chicken from the lunch box and left it for the family, put the lunch box in the cupboard, and went to the back courtyard empty-handed.

Liu Yin thought Li Xuewu was going to tidy up the house behind, so she shouted: "Go later, we're eating soon."

Li Xuewu replied: "Going to see, will be back soon."

Liu Yin didn't care about him anymore.

Li Xuewu strolled into the back courtyard, lifted the door curtain at home, and took out the lunch box with the other half of the chicken before entering.

Entering the door, Lou Xiaoe was cooking—steamed buns and stewed potatoes.

Seeing Li Xuewu return, she was very surprised: "So late, I thought you weren't coming back!"

Li Xuewu smiled: "I'm afraid you'll miss me if I don't come back."

Lou Xiaoe had already restored her open-minded personality and replied refreshingly: "Just keep your mouth flowery."

Li Xuewu went to the kitchen to find a large bowl and poured out the chicken from the lunch box.

"The factory is going to search the workers entering and leaving starting today, so I came back late. You're lucky today; Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were afraid of being caught, so they gave me the chicken they stole. You heat it up and eat it; it smells quite fragrant."

Lou Xiaoe took the chicken like a joke and said: "Did you leave any for the family?"

Li Xuewu replied: "Left half a chicken, hurry up and heat it up."

Only then did Lou Xiaoe happily go to heat the food, talking about tidying up the house today, like a magpie.

Li Xuewu hugged Lou Xiaoe's waist from behind, his head against Lou Xiaoe's head.

Seeing Li Xuewu like this, Lou Xiaoe asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Xuewu replied slowly: "Nothing."

Lou Xiaoe laughed and scolded: "You dead thing."

She skillfully heated the chicken, put it in a bowl, and served it on the table.

Li Xuewu hadn't eaten steamed buns for several days, so he picked up one, rolled it with potato chunks, spread a little sauce, and ate it happily with the cornmeal porridge.

Not to mention, the stewed chicken with mushrooms made at home has a different taste from the one made by a chef. No wonder chefs in restaurants are valuable.

After eating two bites, it wasn't convenient to stay longer, so he got close for a while and went to the front courtyard.

Returning home, he saw Liu Yin had already finished cooking, and the whole family was ready to eat. Li Xuewu ate a little more.

"Has the house in the back courtyard been tidied up?" Liu Yin asked while eating.

It seems that his mother and family hadn't gone to the back courtyard.

Li Xuewu ate a cornmeal bun and put down his chopsticks; he was full.

"Not yet. Lou Xiaoe hasn't moved out yet. I was busy with something yesterday and went to Wen San'er's side, didn't talk much. I went over to chat today, and she should be able to vacate the house for me in about a week."

Li Shun drank a mouthful of porridge and said: "The family can still live here. Don't push too hard. A woman, the Xu family has done evil, it's not good to be driven out crying."

"Mm, I know, Dad."

Since Li Xuewu returned, he no longer argued with Li Shun like before, nor did he make Li Shun angry, but he didn't tell Li Shun anything anymore, as if he were really prepared to split the family and move out.

Now that he had found a house, he was ready to move out at any time. Although they were still in the same courtyard, they were ultimately two families.

Li Shun couldn't tell what his mood was. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs.

Although he had beaten and scolded him, he had never given up on him. This fledgling bird was about to spread its wings and fly high, and suddenly he only felt his throat dry.

Men rarely use hugs and words to express closeness and care.

Li Xuewu, who came back from the future, only felt that his family was distant, but he didn't have so many complaints. He was respectful to his father Li Shun, but not close enough.

Watching Li Shun finish his porridge and go out with his medicine box, saying he was going to make house calls.

Liu Yin wanted to say something, but swallowed the words that reached her lips.

Every family has its own difficulties.

At noon the next day, he very suddenly received a call from Gu Ning in the office.

"Mm, I am Li Xuewu."

"I am Gu Ning."

"Doctor Gu...?"

"Surprised to receive my call?"

"Not really, do you have something?"

The phone suddenly went quiet.

"Come to the hospital to find me at noon, surgical office on the second floor."

After saying that, she "clanged" and hung up the phone.

"Damn! Are you sick!"

Li Xuewu muttered dissatisfiedly while holding the receiver, gently put down the receiver, and continued to write materials.

I am a civilized person; I won't be as knowledgeable as her.

Li Xuewu prepared to build a solid foundation and implement the "Emergency Plan Drill" system in the Security Section.

This thing is a bit of a chicken rib in later generations. Many units don't conduct drills according to actual conditions, so they are in a hurry when accidents happen. In fact, many things can be solved very well in the early stages of an accident.

Li Xuewu wanted to make achievements in his business, rather than just giving the leaders the impression that he was only good at doing things.

He must make an article on business. If there is no credit delivered to his door, then create credit.

Before lunch, Han Yating sent over the interrogation report of the dozen or so people who carried items yesterday.

Li Xuewu took a look; most of them were repeat offenders, and only three saw others take them and took them themselves recently.

And the repeat offenders had also started again these past few days. The reason was that Wang Jindong was inside, but it was calm, and they didn't expect the higher-ups to be so ruthless.

Bi Di Ge

Li Xuewu wanted to cultivate Han Yating's business, so he pointed to the interrogation report and asked: "How do you plan to write the case report?"

Han Yating had obviously thought about it before coming over, and opened her mouth: "Of course, handle it according to regulations and send it to the police station."

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette and lit it noncommittally, and asked again: "What is the significance of our Security Section and even the Security Stock?"

Han Yating said: "Strike at crime and protect the factory."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. But we are not just a powerful unit. While protecting the factory, we should also protect the workers. When worker brothers and sisters make mistakes, we should protect the workers from making such mistakes again by means of education as the main, punishment as the auxiliary, warning as the standard, and saving people as the foundation. This is also what I often say: learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, and cure the sickness to save the patient."

Han Yating nodded, half-understanding.

Li Xuewu knew that it was still very difficult to change her thinking. Now everything is about strict discipline, and there is no concept of people-oriented.

Don't worry, take it slow. A style of doing things should gradually form in the Security Section, that is, to win the support of the majority, to make those with criminal hearts feel awe, to make workers and their families convinced and actively cooperate, and to make leaders trust and feel at ease.

Li Xuewu took the case in front of him and signaled Han Yating to think.

"These dozen cases cannot be cut with one knife. This will not have an effect; it will only make people fear for a while. These people have been expelled, so as time changes, the workers in the factory will forget. We must make them typical examples of turning over a new leaf, constantly warning others."

Han Yating's eyes were full of light, and she said: "Section Chief, you mean to keep some people on their posts?"
