Chapter 1237: Plenty of Food and Clothing

~36 min read 7,063 words

"Dinner will be ready soon—"

Yu Li followed him out and said while trying to keep him: "The food is very good these few days during the New Year."

"Come again on the day of the New Year; there's something to do today."

Li Xuewu looked at the layout of the courtyard, because it was already close to the New Year, many children were playing in the courtyard.

These were the parents who had headaches, very afraid that their children would slip out to learn bad things when they went to work.

They were good at calculating, throwing their children here; as long as they didn't go to the basement to play with guns, other equipment and facilities had no danger.

In this deep house and big courtyard, with security patrolling from time to time, the thing they needed to worry about least was the safety problem.

There were fitness equipment and sports equipment to consume energy, cinemas and reading rooms to kill time, and waiters and coaches to learn knowledge.

Being able to develop the club into a cram school, this batch of parents was really something.

"Let Zuo Jie prepare some firecrackers and sparklers and put them in the service department."

Li Xuewu couldn't bear to see these children lose their innocence and fun, and told Yu Li with a bad smile: "Tell the children that as long as their parents allow it, they can buy things on credit."

"You're really damaging—"

Yu Li glared at him reproachfully and laughed: "You don't even let go of small children!"

"I'm also doing it for their own good!"

Li Xuewu said reasonably: "If you want to say I don't let go, that's also for their parents."

"Besides—"

He pursed his lips and gestured toward the gate: "Their parents didn't let go of you either!"

"This bit of pocket money can be considered a service fee for watching the children; do you really think this is a nursery?"

"But there's one thing I have to remind you—"

Li Xuewu stepped on the manhole cover he passed by and said seriously: "Absolutely don't let the children throw firecrackers into it."

"If there is biogas inside, the power is no less than detonating a hand grenade."

"Just don't sell it—"

Yu Li rolled her eyes at him and said: "Why go to that trouble? Just for that bit of pocket money? Or is your mentality unbalanced."

"Both a little," Li Xuewu laughed: "Anyway, I can't watch them pick up cheap deals, because my daughter and son didn't pick up this cheap deal—"

"I don't believe your ghost talk at all!"

Yu Li sent him to the parking lot and arranged: "I'll find someone to talk about it later and see if I can find a few teachers."

"Don't teach cultural courses, teach some art, music, and martial arts; it's service anyway, who isn't service."

She had a kind heart, and looking at the children in the courtyard, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bring a smile.

"Members all pay membership fees on time; how can we cheat people's money?"

"Listen to me, the children won't thank you."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "They've studied for a whole semester, and it's not easy to have a holiday, only to be locked up to study again."

"That's not necessarily true; it depends on the teacher."

Yu Li raised her chin and said: "If the teacher teaches well, the students like to learn; if they learn well, you don't believe it, let's bet."

"Forget it, you know me."

Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "I swear to be incompatible with gambling and drugs in this life!"

"Get lost, talking nonsense again."

Yu Li had heard him say this under the quilt long ago; now she arrived at the car reproachfully.

"Aren't you going back to the compound for the New Year?"

"Hmm, but I have to be on duty that day."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "This year the brothers and sisters have started families and careers; celebrate the big New Year, and also celebrate the small New Year."

"I heard, it's quite good."

Yu Li stood in front of him, lowered her head and tidied the hair by her ear, letting the cold wind blow the loose hair at her temples again.

Every festive season makes one miss their family more; this is what is said about someone like her who has no home.

Organizing a New Year's banquet in the club is perhaps a kind of sense of security chosen because of inner loneliness and nowhere to vent.

Every year at this time, she hopes she has a home, has him in the home, daytime kisses, nighttime...

For the past two years, she has spent the big New Year with the Bai Bai Xiyuan Recycling Station, huddling together for warmth with those who also have no home.

Happy until late at night, keeping watch until she was too sleepy to sleep.

Waking up at night, looking at the dark night, she always made up her mind to find a home this year, but after this energy passed, she...

Yu Li had long been resigned to making up her mind often, knowing she couldn't leave him, and he couldn't leave her.

The second half of the sentence had self-comfort, and also realistic bonds.

If it weren't for the full trust in her, this position wouldn't have been arranged for her to be responsible for.

No worries about food and clothing, no worries about money; Yu Li had everything except the tenderness in the middle of the night.

This year the Bai Bai Xiyuan still celebrates the big New Year, but those who are married have to celebrate the small New Year, which can be considered a manifestation and freedom after starting a family and career.

This makes them, who were already lonely, feel even more heartbroken and helpless.

Li Wenbiao took his wife and children back to Steel City again, because the children were too young and the school wasn't teaching properly.

So Mai Qinglan applied for labor study at the school, and the club gave a certificate of acceptance, which was considered an arrangement.

Once the school officially resumes classes, or there is a notification of assignment, she will return from Steel City.

Shen Guodong and Xiao Yan are newly married; this year, persuaded by Li Xuewu, they decided to return to their own small home for the New Year.

Besides serving the mother-in-law, he also has to tidy up the ancestral hall to worship his relatives; celebrating the big New Year is too troublesome.

The Sha Zhu family is also celebrating the New Year at home this year, because they have to take care of the First Uncle and First Aunt.

Deaf Old Lady is gone, and the First Uncle and First Aunt can't hide their loneliness and sadness; Sha Zhu can't bear it.

If he wanted the First Uncle and First Aunt to come to the inverted room to celebrate the New Year, they definitely wouldn't be willing, so it was Li Xuewu who decided to let them celebrate alone.

Pa Zile has a holiday for the New Year, but he doesn't go back to his brother-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year; instead, he goes to his father-in-law's house, which is Wang Yamei's home, to celebrate the New Year.

This is the first New Year he has promised his father-in-law since he got married; it must be done properly, and Li Xuewu also gave careful instructions.

Wen San's wife, Fei Shanying, brought two children, one big and one small; Shen Guodong wanted to pick them up to celebrate the New Year at home.

Li Xuewu also said here that whether it's the big New Year or the small New Year, it's up to them; anyway, they aren't short of this meal of dumplings.

Fei Shanying insisted on bringing the two children to celebrate the New Year in her own home; even if Wen San'er isn't at home, she has to open the door to live.

Since Fei Shanying returned home after her confinement, life has indeed been lived this way.

Every morning she brings the two children to the recycling station to work, and in the evening, after dinner, she is sent home by Shen Guodong or the boys.

Every day is like this; she has long been used to bringing two children alone.

In the Bai Bai Xiyuan, those who aren't married and have no small home are just the Second Uncle and a few boys, as well as Yang Erhai'er who returned to Jinmen long ago.

Yang Erhai'er also didn't plan to return to Beijing for the New Year; instead, he let the two boys who helped in Jinmen return to Beijing to reunite with the Second Uncle.

Yang Erhai'er, who is now called Yang Zhao, has long been used to the taste of loneliness; these years, with Li Xuewu taking care of him, he has a home in his heart.

Xi Lin and Ge Lin quietly got married in Yingcheng, and didn't even mail back an invitation; only the good news came.

In the end, the Second Uncle is going to take the boys to the warehouse area to keep watch for the New Year, and the inverted room here is completely empty.

From more than thirty people eating and celebrating the New Year in one room to the crowd dispersing, it took less than two years, just like the children of later generations who go to the city to work, only accompanying their parents for a busy and heartbreaking New Year.

None of them are going back to celebrate the New Year; Li Xuewu isn't tired of this liveliness, or afraid of the tree attracting the wind, but knows how to give up and let go.

Actively giving up this kind of friendship is to avoid going too far; sooner or later there will be a day of parting, it's too sad.

The brothers have started families and careers one after another, each going their own way, and it's hard to gather together again and sing together.

But there is a good saying: there is no banquet in the world that doesn't end; brothers gathered are a fire, and scattered are stars all over the sky.

Each has their own home, each has their own children's mother; isn't this the goal the brothers gathered together to fight for in the beginning?

Li Xuewu himself is the same, taking his wife and children home, reuniting with his parents, and celebrating a peaceful and happy New Year.

Saying goodbye to the past on New Year's Day, embracing the New Year, and opening a new chapter of the New Year with warmth and laughter.

Yu Li also has a selfish side, but she knows that Li Xuewu has done everything he can for her.

Her father and brother came to call her home to celebrate the New Year several times, but Yu Li didn't want to attract gossip to her family and insisted on celebrating the New Year here.

At least, she can still get a little of Li Xuewu's time on the day of the New Year, and she is already very satisfied.

"Keep a close eye on the news from Watsons."

Li Xuewu felt the fluctuation of her emotions, but couldn't bear to give her a hug at this time.

Because he knew that as long as he hugged her, she wouldn't be able to help but shed tears; during the New Year, it would only add trouble.

"In the first year of taking over, it's not easy to master and integrate all retail resources under the existing pressure and carry out trial sales of new projects such as hardware and appliances."

"Hmm, I know—"

Yu Li said in a tone with a bit of nasal sound: "I'll notify you as soon as there is news; if there isn't, I'll ask diligently."

"That..."

After responding to this sentence, she raised her head with red eyes and asked with a smile: "Are you really not going to write her a letter?"

"No need, across mountains and seas."

Li Xuewu smiled nonchalantly and said: "She doesn't need these vain ways; just knowing in her heart is enough."

"Pfft—you're saying I need it!"

Yu Li curled her lips and said: "I just need it, so what? This isn't across mountains and seas; if I can't need it, then let's just become sworn siblings; I'll call you Big Brother, okay!"

"Sworn siblings is better not to be," Li Xuewu teased her with a smile: "In case you need it one day, we'll be very awkward."

"Ew—" Yu Li pursed her lips and said: "Calling you that, it becomes brother and sister chaos... it's really disgusting—"

"So you'd better abide by your original heart."

Li Xuewu jumped into the car and said to Yu Li: "Let your brother come to the club to play during the New Year and make more friends."

"Forget it, with his personality."

Yu Li felt warm in her heart, but still denied it on her lips.

Li Xuewu said this because he wanted to give her brother a chance; being able to make friends in the Youth Society is better than wasting time.

Yu Zhe was arranged into the factory by Li Xuewu; he mixed in the security section for a period of time, and then went to the mountain to learn driving lessons.

Now he works with the security group's motorcade; although it's not as comfortable as a driver like Han Jiankun, it's free and no one is watching him.

For Li Xuewu, the Youth Society is a layout laid out at will, but for young people like Yu Zhe, it is a resource.

It's just that the circles are different; even if there is her, the older sister, taking care of him, the brother won't learn anything here, and is more likely to learn bad things.

Because the vision is not reached, the state of mind is not reached; seeing more is also vanity, which is really just adding trouble.

She knows well that her brother doesn't have that talent, and doesn't have this forbearance and pursuit; it's better to be carefree in the current days.

Her father came to see her before the New Year and said that he was looking for a partner for Yu Zhe during the New Year, and he was picking with his hands.

Those who live there are children of workers; Yu Zhe's conditions are just picking with his hands.

Speaking of which, Yu Zhe is one of the eight major members.

Plus there is her, the older sister, taking care of him, Yu Zhe's small life is not too carefree.

Yu Zhe wasn't thinking about eating swan meat, but was pushed back by his sister, and it was the kind that really got angry.

Since then, he has also grown a heart, knowing that the club is not opened by his sister, and it's not his sister who has the final say alone.

That university student is not someone he can climb high to; a word from his sister is very real: the water here is too deep.

Just with his small body, jumping in wouldn't even splash a flower, and not even a bone residue would be left.

The sister and brother had a small awkwardness because of this matter; it was her father Yu Bao Dong who gave Yu Zhe a lesson with a big ear slap.

This lesson is called self-knowledge.

"Wu Ge, where are you going?"

The car just started, and after saying the last sentence to Yu Li, Zhou Xiaobai rushed out from the opposite side.

Like a small rabbit, she pulled open the passenger door, didn't be polite to him, and sat in the passenger seat while talking.

"Wherever I go, it's not on your way."

Li Xuewu looked at her amusedly and said: "You have your own car but insist on taking my car?"

"My car is too flashy, I can't stand it."

Zhou Xiaobai shrank her shoulders and urged him: "Drive quickly; as long as you are my brother, wherever you go is on my way."

"I'm following your routine!"

Li Xuewu wouldn't push her out of the car, greeted Yu Li, and drove out after closing the door.

Zhou Xiaobai shook her butt, glanced back at the layout inside the command vehicle, and curled her lips: "Haven't changed the car yet?"

"Aren't you already making progress!"

She said pickily: "In your factory, you should be qualified to take a Shanghai, right?"

"What qualification do I have to take a Shanghai?"

Li Xuewu said amusedly: "My current rank is just enough to take this car; Shanghai, delusion!"

"Pfft—who are you lying to—"

Zhou Xiaobai curled her lips: "Your enterprises are much richer than the local ones; what car don't you dare to take."

"If you say so, your Director Li is really exceeding the standard; he takes a Volga, right?"

Seeing Li Xuewu not taking her words, she withdrew her hand pointing at the Volga M24 sedan in the garage and said to herself: "This car, my father takes it and feels it exceeds the standard, let alone him."

"Don't mess around, I don't know what car your father takes?"

Li Xuewu drove out of the gate and drove toward the outside of the alley, joking: "Director Li dreams of taking your father's car."

"Hmph hmph—"

Zhou Xiaobai snorted in her nostrils, not knowing what it meant, and said with her mouth pursed: "It's almost there."

She turned her head, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Is it about the promotion after the New Year? If he advances one more step, he'll be qualified, right."

"Who taught you these things?"

Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at her, asking: "Don't tell me your father taught you; I don't believe it."

"You really dare to guess, I don't even dare to think—"

Zhou Xiaobai disliked the jeep's seat being too hard, and the chassis being too hard; she felt bumpy even crossing the road.

She said tiredly: "Didn't learn from anyone; seeing more, I understood; recently I've been running to unit departments, tired to death."

"Okay, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles," Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Your parents are back, right? They must be very happy to see your growth and training now."

"Hmm, they criticized me last night, really happy—"

Zhou Xiaobai shrank her body and wanted to lie on the seat but couldn't, so she sat up straight and said: "Brother, send me home."

"Hmm—?" Li Xuewu turned his head abruptly, looked at her and asked: "Are you serious?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at him frankly and said weakly: "Last night our family's Leader Zhou and Political Commissar Fang made a serious criticism of my staying out all night and spending money lavishly."

"Required me to enter the house before dark, otherwise they would execute family law and whip me with a belt."

"Hehe, remember to tell me when the time comes."

Li Xuewu laughed and said: "Such a rare scene, I even want to bring people to watch."

Amidst Zhou Xiaobai's dissatisfied coquettish voice, Li Xuewu emphasized: "I'll bring a camera to take pictures for you as a souvenir."

"I don't want—"

Zhou Xiaobai patted him, and seeing the car turning north, she felt warm in her heart and became obedient again.

She was afraid Li Xuewu would care, and afraid Li Xuewu wouldn't care; it was a very contradictory psychology.

Now seeing Li Xuewu didn't care about her caring, she felt empty in her heart again.

Could it be that he wasn't afraid of bumping into her parents?

Even if it was bumping into neighbors, it wouldn't be good; what was he thinking, really not afraid of those people chewing their tongues?

Speaking of which, she also heard some news about Li Xuewu from her parents' mouths.

It wasn't about her, nor about the two's current careers, and the cooperation in Jinmen.

It was the Gu family's son-in-law, who was promoted to full-level Department Chief at twenty-two, and also mastered important resources of an enterprise about to be group-formed.

She heard her mother mention Li Xuewu's name to friends who came to visit, feeling novel and lost.

How to say it, the groom is married, but the bride isn't me?

Biting her lip and hiding in the room to listen for a long time, they were all sighing with envy; she also felt inexplicably proud and blushing.

Clearly knowing that it wasn't praising herself, nor her lover, but there was an inexplicable sense of happiness and recognition.

Young full-level Department Chiefs aren't rare; what's rare is the trend of steady progress in the peak-climbing, rain-fighting, and game-playing in this storm.

Being able to be competent and make progress in this environment, what wind and rain can stop his forward steps.

Her mother said that the Gu family, in order to fulfill their children, even willingly retired to the second line at a young age.

Gu Haitao, really is a representative figure of culture and ability; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go to the dynasty and be the vice president of the academy.

Able to write and fight, with a full set of skills.

Some people say it's a pity and regret, but in the eyes of parents, isn't this also a kind of pride and relief?

Successors are available, worthy of great use, enough to comfort the ancestors.

Gu Haitao has two sons and one daughter, educated extremely well, and their work is also extremely outstanding; whether it's the wife they married or the son-in-law they chose, they are all first-class excellent and outstanding.

Even to the point of covering up the edge of the previous generation; how many people wish their children were so accomplished, let alone retiring early, even if they retired early, they would be willing.

It's not that no one whispered privately, what kind of daughter does Gu Haitao have, and is she worthy of finding such a son-in-law of dragon and phoenix appearance?

Those who know have to say a fair word; Gu Haitao didn't look at the son-in-law's family background, and the son-in-law didn't look at the daughter's family background.

Just this one sentence became a match made in heaven for the two.

Zhou Xiaobai delayed confessing to Li Xuewu because she heard these rumors and felt this pressure in her heart.

She didn't have the confidence to be better than Li Xuewu's, and didn't have the confidence to challenge the fate in the emergency tent of the field hospital.

She didn't know what she wanted either; perhaps she wanted to mix with Li Xuewu for a while longer, and when she grew up, she would know what she wanted; perhaps her parents thought so too.

In this state of mind, even the way she called Li Xuewu changed, becoming closer.

Before she would call him Wu Ge, now she omitted it, simply calling him Brother.

"What are you doing? So not easy to tease?"

Li Xuewu didn't hear her speak for a long time, turned his head and glanced at her, seeing her shrinking her neck like a quail, and teased her: "Or did you come to my car to think about life?"

"Hmph, my life doesn't need thinking."

Zhou Xiaobai snorted, turned her face to look out the car window; the jeep's frame was high, and the field of vision was wider than a sedan.

"A bit tired recently, want to sleep."

"Then take a good rest during the New Year."

Li Xuewu advised her: "Work can never be finished, and money can never be earned; you have to learn to enjoy life."

"Who should I learn from? You teach me?"

Zhou Xiaobai rolled her eyes and said: "You don't take me to play; it's those flies-like followers who disturb me..."

"Hey, how can you talk like that."

Li Xuewu laughed and pointed at her: "Isn't it the type you like? People are chasing you now, still not satisfied?"

"That was before—"

Zhou Xiaobai heard him mention this, sat up straight, and emphasized looking at his side face: "Now is now!"

"Now I prefer your style; looking back at them, I only feel childish and ridiculous."

She curled her lips, hugged her arms and said: "Do you know how childish they are?"

"Actually competing to send gifts to pursue me!"

Hearing her tone, there was a bit of showing off, but more impatience and real disgust.

"Zhong Yuemin wanted to send me a motorcycle, I didn't want it; I don't know how Zhang Haiyang found out, and insisted on sending me rackets and shoes."

"Wait—"

Li Xuewu unexpectedly looked at her when he heard this and asked: "The pair of shoes you gave me was bought for me by him?"

"Can you wear it if I bought it for me?"

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at him, almost saying "Are you stupid!"

"After he sent it to me, I felt fashionable and comfortable wearing it, so I asked him to help buy a pair to give to you."

"It's just that I gave him money, but he refused to take it, and I couldn't find a second channel to buy such shoes."

She sighed and said: "What can I do, so I bought a gift of equal value to return to him."

"Brother, you know me, I'm not short of money—"

"Hmm hmm, I know—"

Li Xuewu laughed; this girl was blowing to him that she wasn't short of money, and he felt a bit like laughing.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't care about his laughter; eating his, wearing his, spending his, using his, she had already clearly stated that she couldn't repay him, and would give herself to him, but he was the one who didn't want to.

"I don't know how this matter spread; later it became that I refused Zhong Yuemin's gift and exchanged gifts with Zhang Haiyang."

She raised her hand and patted her forehead, distressed: "Now Zhong Yuemin is like crazy, chasing me to send shoes, rackets, tennis equipment, I really... want to curse—"

"This is the trouble of happiness!"

Li Xuewu had an expression of watching the fun without being afraid of big things, laughing and asking: "Didn't Zhang Haiyang notice? You asked him to buy my shoe size, he should know that girls don't have such big feet?"

"I suspect he misunderstood—"

Zhou Xiaobai pursed her lips, shook her head with a suspicious expression, and said: "Maybe he thought I bought it to give to my father; I said it so clearly, he really is—"

"Hehehe—"

Li Xuewu laughed even louder when he heard her say this.

Perhaps hearing that the laughter was wrong, Zhou Xiaobai punched him angrily and amusedly, reproachfully: "I call your father, do you dare to answer?"

"Don't dare—" Li Xuewu was very cowardly and refused decisively: "I still want to live a few more days."

"Hmph—"

Zhou Xiaobai didn't succeed in digging a hole, snorted proudly and said: "If you dare to answer, I dare to call you Godfather in front of my father."

"Don't, let's just be sworn brothers."

Li Xuewu glanced at the compounds on both sides of the street and drove forward in the right direction.

"If your father knows you found a sworn brother for him, I'll become a corpse brother."

"Giggle—"

Zhou Xiaobai found it funny and giggled immediately.

After a while, she sorted out her expression and said: "Hey, it's still much more interesting to be with you."

"Those two weirdos disturbed me so much that I even went to the club secretly," she let out a long breath and said: "These two people don't even talk when they meet, hiding and guarding against each other."

"What about me? Have to hide from them, guard against them!"

"Hahaha—"

Li Xuewu sent Zhou Xiaobai to her door very frankly, and even got out of the car to bring her gifts.

Some local specialties stored in the trunk were considered gifts for sudden visits during the New Year without empty hands.

Here I also want to remind you that those who mix on the surface, or have more frequent daily client movements, it is best to prepare some decent gifts in the trunk.

Cigarettes, alcohol, tea, sugar, size, expensive or cheap doesn't matter; just having a red packaging box makes people feel it's a heart, making people comfortable.

During the New Year, don't be short of red envelopes in your pocket; stuffing ten or five yuan is fine; sending it out doesn't hurt, and it adds to the festive spirit.

Don't say this red envelope is small; if it's sent temporarily, whoever dislikes it has no class, and they deserve to be stingy about these five or ten yuan for a lifetime, and don't have the life and heart to get rich.

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't say whether it was regret or what; the car drove into the compound and into the small courtyard, but her parents weren't at home.

For Li Xuewu's frankness and heart, she could only politely invite him to sit in the house for a while, in case her parents came back.

For her heart of not wanting to harm him, Li Xuewu also flicked her forehead and declined.

He wasn't afraid of seeing her parents, but was afraid of seeing her parents, and her parents would be embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

Could it be that Zhou Zhennan wanted to say thank you for spending thousands to fatten up my precious daughter in the past year?

What kind of talk is this; better not to see them.

He took a box of dried fruits, a box of dried goods, and a set of newly printed "Dragon Slaying Techniques" for Zhou Xiaobai, asking her to study more during the Spring Festival.

To make up a double gift, he also found a book of his own to top the count, which was four gifts; it sounded very nice during the New Year.

Zhou Xiaobai tucked the book under her arm, carried the red paper packaging boxes in both hands, and her mouth was so pursed she could tie a donkey.

What does it mean to send these gifts!

Saying my brain is full of water, dry it out, and study more to enrich my empty brain?

Or saying that no matter how much I do, I lose!

Li Xuewu really didn't have so many thoughts; choosing these few gifts was entirely out of fear that she would be misunderstood by her parents when she brought them home.

There were only so many things in the trunk; he couldn't send fish or meat, that would really make him a son-in-law.

Dried goods, dry and without goods.

Li Xuewu didn't have the intention to eat this Xiaobai for the time being, and he wasn't a ground cannon, catching one and liking one.

Liking one isn't the goal, and the process isn't the goal; the goal is for you to be good, me to be good, and everyone to be good; everyone being good is the real good.

Driving the car out of the courtyard, he clearly observed the difference from previous years.

Li Xuewu's eyes were very useful, and his thinking was agile; he could discover places that ordinary people didn't notice.

This was also the reason why he had the title of criminal investigation expert in the Ministry of Public Security.

Of course, this title wasn't worth much; it was really just a title.

Sometimes it was useful, sometimes it wasn't.

Li Xuewu just passed by and discovered that this year during the New Year, the group that used to be little brats and now are old soldiers had money.

Don't ask why old soldiers became old soldiers; those who still insist on big study and ideal careers now are mostly those who have a lame leg.

There are realistic situations here, and also psychological situations; just read and understand, don't over-interpret.

If you want to say that everyone has a 28-inch bicycle and goes around carefree, that's not accurate.

In fact, there are those who have difficulty in life in the compound, those with many children in the family, those whose parents earn little money, and those whose elders are sick and have difficulties.

Or those with poor relatives in their hometown; this is the most fatal.

Later generations don't understand why cadres working in the city have to send money to their brothers in their hometown to support them.

The situation inside is too complicated; thousands of years of human feelings and sophistication, where can it be made clear in one or two sentences.

Anyway, as far as Li Xuewu knows, those who can have a bicycle in this circle don't account for the majority.

Here it must be said that bicycles, whether they are their parents' or their own, are not common to see.

In movies and TV shows, any kind can ride a 28-inch bicycle; that might be in the later stage, or for the sake of program effect.

But in reality, bicycles are hard to buy and not cheap.

In this situation, Li Xuewu saw three Comet motorcycles just by entering and leaving the compound.

Just say it's during the New Year, just say it's little brats showing off in the courtyard, but in reality, this ownership is really not low.

Some old soldiers didn't even get a bicycle, but some people were already riding motorcycles; you say the change in the old soldier circle this year is big or not.

With the club, Zhao Lao Si introduced to him that this year is a fat year for the old soldier circle.

Those who earn more treat guests, and those who earn less, or didn't earn money, follow to join in the fun and eat and drink.

Old Mo isn't enough to satisfy the craving; those who really earn money eat roast meat every meal; it's really young people making a mess.

Someone compiled a set of doggerel:

Have a car and money, celebrate the New Year carefree.

New clothes and new shoes, go to be a son-in-law.

These little brats have a bit of money in their pockets and make a mess; one by one they are all new equipment, and they shake people's eyes when they go out.

With this resource exclusively for the old soldier circle, you say whether the people in the Wan Zhu circle can stand it or not.

There are Wan Zhu who stand up and can bring crooked money; this year is also energetic, beautiful.

Those who don't stand up, and can't bear the hardship and the carefreeness of Beijing, and aren't willing to go to sea with their predecessors to fight for a future, then they can only do it themselves and have plenty of food and clothing.

How to have plenty of food and clothing?

Rob, look at who is wearing new clothes and new shoes, go up and strip and rob; if you rob it, it's yours.

Old soldiers care about face; even if they are stripped naked on the street, they won't report the case, but will hold their breath to find the place back.

So during the New Year, in the alleys, or on the big road, it's not calm; from time to time, little troublemakers pass by in a swarm, not knowing what happened again.

"Our department is so fun—"

Li Xuecai rode the chair backward, lay on the back of the chair and introduced to his second brother and others: "The new Dr. Zhang used to fix shoes for people, and now he's recruited to the hospital to pull teeth for people, hahaha!"

He laughed to himself: "You don't say, when it comes to the strength of using pliers, the old doctors are not as good as his hand strength—"

"Is the loss of doctor resources so big?"

Li Xuewu saw that his father didn't laugh and was still frowning slightly, so he took the initiative to ask: "Is the situation in the Chinese Medicine Hospital serious?"

"Hmm, it's not very convenient—"

Li Shun said very vaguely, not hiding it from his son, but it was his personality; he wouldn't easily say gossip or say the whole thing.

Li Xuecai didn't have his father's cultivation; hearing his second brother take the initiative to ask, he couldn't sit still.

He raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to introduce: "The situation in various departments is about the same; nine out of ten have gone to the countryside."

"It's hard to find a doctor who can perform surgery in the whole hospital, not even a handful, and this is still in our hospital."

"So serious?"

Li Xuewu's eyebrows also frowned; compared to Red Star Factory's medical conditions, the local medical problems were too contradictory.

Red Star Factory now really dares to say saturated medical care; even the engineering team has resident emergency doctors; who dares to say they have this configuration.

This has to be attributed to Li Xuewu's ruthlessness and early action; Gu Weijie really believed his words and made a fierce grab.

Those who were worried about problems at that time, or self-checked and self-corrected, knowing that their background and experience couldn't hold up, signed up for Red Star Factory's olive branch one after another.

At that time, management was even more chaotic than it is now; those in charge of personnel were not the original cadres, but some young people who wished they could kick all the old comrades out of the hospital to make room for themselves.

No wonder Wei Zai said that going to the Education and Medical Administration Bureau to thank Li Xuewu and thank Gu Weijie.

He went to this department purely to pick up cheap deals; Li Xuewu laid this layout for Bu Qingfang, but unfortunately Old Li acted fast.

Bu Qingfang was a bit regretful, but didn't say anything.

Strike first to gain the upper hand, strike later to suffer; who let her be hesitant and indecisive.

Before, she felt she could fight for a large department, but now she couldn't fight for a large department, and she was a bit short for the branch company level.

Because those who acted ruthlessly didn't look forward to large departments at all, and had been working hard toward branch companies.

So now Bu Qingfang is embarrassed; a female comrade is one step behind, and that's too much.

Even if she has advantages in age and gender, there is no suitable position, what can she do.

The grandfather and grandson gathered together; it was quiet before the New Year, which could be considered the only time in the whole year that they could talk and chat.

Li Xuecai talked about the situation in the Chinese Medicine Hospital, and then talked about the predicament of Vice President Zhao, and finally sighed that those who went to the mountain early picked up the bargain.

Isn't it picking up the bargain; hanging the name of support and training, going two years early, without suffering or suffering, and when the wind passes, isn't it them who return to the hospital first.

Here, it has to be said that Father Li Shun picked up the biggest bargain; unknowingly, he had already become the person in charge of the Red Star Village project of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.

It was mainly because the loss of talent was too serious; even Li Shun, who was indifferent to the world, had to go into battle, so you say—

Li Xuecai finished talking about the depression, and then wanted to tell a joke, but it was tasteless, and he also felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn't speak anymore, and it was the eldest brother's turn to talk about the electronics factory of the First Supervision Institute, and the electronics engineering department about to be opened by the Red Star United School Vocational and Technical College.

Father Li Shun didn't understand this aspect very well, just holding a teacup and listening on the side.

Li Xuewu and Li Xuecai understood, especially Li Xuewu, who had absolute "foresight" in this aspect.

The opening of the electronics engineering department by the Red Star United School was suggested and planned by Li Xuewu.

Jing Rong also put in a lot of effort, inviting many professional big shots from Huaqing and Yanjing to prepare the courses.

The Red Star United School has a foundation for engaging in the electronics engineering department, because there are electronics and electrical factories in the factory, and more relevant research institutes.

The electronics engineering department has three majors: semiconductor devices, computers, and radio.

Do you know why it was possible to catch up with the progress and open a department at this time?

It's not just that the electronics factory needs talent in this area; aircraft manufacturing, automotive industry, and drone research and development all need it.

Li Xuewu's intention to engage in drones was definitely not a hot head; he spent so much energy, gathered so many professional talents, and spared no expense to purchase computers and various equipment.

In this period, in this era, in fact, there are many fields in the country that have the potential and opportunity to catch up.

In this era, until the year 2000, countless projects were cut down because of funds; this is not just making up the numbers.

Li Xuewu really wanted to persuade his eldest brother to engage in research in this area; he had a research foundation in this area, and if he really became a big shot.

Let's put it this way, if he mastered the core technology of drones within ten years, then he would be a big shot in the relevant international field.

Hmm, a big shot in his thirties, are you afraid?

Li Xuewu still has a chance to go abroad in this life; if he becomes a big shot, he won't want to go out for the rest of his life.

Li Xuewu still has a chance to go abroad in this life; if he becomes a big shot, he will never be able to go out for the rest of his life.
