Chapter 1541: Wait until you have children

"Come, establish rules for Li Shu too."

Li Xue would never forget her dear niece, as the first and second aunt of the Li family, not counting the third one, Li Yue, in swaddling clothes, the two were the closest.

Of course, Li Shu might not necessarily think so.

"This is my house!"

Li Shu turned back and learned her aunt Wang Lu's posture, put her hands on her hips and hummed, "I'm not afraid of you!"

"Oh! I forgot, this is your house—" Li Xue smiled evilly like a dark demon king and said, "I was just thinking about establishing rules for you in front of your dad and mom, it's a good thing I came today—"

"Can you bully me at home?"

Li Shu picked up the submachine gun slung across her shoulder and fired a burst at the evil little aunt.

Unfortunately, both she and the submachine gun in her hand were very average, and could not suppress the evil for the time being.

Li Xue smiled evilly, caught Li Shu in the hall, held her in her arms and wanted to throw her into the fish pond.

"Ah—" Li Shu was scared and screamed, struggling in her little aunt's arms, calling for Daddy and Mommy.

Li Xuewu wanted to help Wang Lu carry things, but was snatched by her and Zhao Yaping first.

This was not being polite when arriving at the second brother's house, but a consistent respect for the second brother.

Not to mention here, even in the courtyard, in the unit, Wang Lu had no reason to tire him.

"Li Shu! Is the weapon in your hand for eating rice—" She was also a child, carrying the candy, fruit, and hairtail she bought into the hall, and instigated Li Shu, "Must have the determination to fight the evil forces to the end, and have the confidence to firmly defend justice."

"Little Aunt—come and save me!"

Li Shu watched her feet about to touch the water, at this moment the screaming voice changed tone.

Wang Lu only cared about watching the excitement, not saving people, at this moment still encouraged, "Smash her with the gun!"

"You can teach something good—"

Zhao Yafang patted her butt with amusement and said, "How are you more childish than a child!"

"That is! More childish than a child!"

Li Xue turned back and stuffed Li Shu into Wang Lu's arms, who was carrying things with both hands, gave her a blank look, and teased, "Is there still the look of a sister-in-law."

Tat-tat-tat—

Li Shu was really naughty, just now she was scared to tears by her little aunt, at this moment she was safe, and before she could get down from her little aunt's arms, she gave her little aunt a shot.

Li Xue was so angry that she gave her a pat on the butt, she didn't cry, ran to the house from her little aunt's arms, and shouted that little aunt was a bad egg!

There were many people at home tonight, so lively.

"Don't run! Fall again—"

The old lady sat on the stool coaxing Li Ning and Li Tang who were playing with toys on the carpet, and had to borrow a pair of eyes to stare at Li Shu who was running around the house like a flying man.

"Too! My little aunt always bullies me!"

Li Shu's personality was very clever, hearing the old lady's reminder, she turned and complained to the old lady.

Was it over just by complaining?

Then you underestimate this little girl, her aggrieved expression was performed quite in place.

"You still provoke her!" The old lady scared her and said, "We won't care if she cleans you up again, look who can save you."

"You adults can't be sensible!" Li Shu was also anxious, standing in the living room and chirping, "How hard can it be to find her a partner!"

"Oh! Li Shu, is your skin tight!" Li Xue came over from the hall, picked up the feather duster on the cabinet and scared her, "Come here!"

"I'm not coming—" Li Shu hid behind the sofa, her mouth still not giving in, "If you are so fierce, you won't find a partner!"

Li Tang and Li Ning, the brothers, didn't know what happened, looked up blankly at the panicked but mouth-unyielding sister, and the little aunt who was dancing and wanted to retaliate.

"What is a partner—" Li Tang quietly asked his brother, "Do you have one at home?"

"Don't know—" Li Ning's Northeast accent was more serious than his brother's, he pulled his little head and looked at his sister, then looked at his little aunt, seeing the living room was in chaos, stood up blankly and said, "Should it be delicious?"

"I only know there are elephants." Li Tang was much more stable than his brother, taught by his mother to be a little adult, not comparable to the wild-growing Li Ning.

Li Ning tilted his head and looked at his sister who was being chased around the living room by his little aunt, turned back and shouted to the old lady, "Too! I also want a partner!"

"Hahahaha——"

The whole family, who were watching the excitement in the living room, ignited the fireworks of joy again because of little Li Ning's childish words.

Wang Lu smiled and picked up Li Ning and asked, "Do you know what a partner is?"

"Don't know—" Li Ning looked at her suspiciously, guessed while picking his lips, "Delicious?"

"You only know how to eat—"

Li Shu saw that her little aunt didn't chase anymore, climbed onto the sofa and hummed to her brother, "A partner is a couple, little aunt is one person."

Seeing her little aunt staring, she dodged and whispered, "Originally it is—our teacher found a partner, and the dean also said that big girls have to find an organization if they can't find a partner... ah!"

Not paying attention, she was caught by her little aunt, and was carried to the fish pond with her body turned over.

"Still talking?"

Li Shu, who was hung upside down above the fish pond by her little aunt, was scared and giggled, laughing as if crying.

"Quickly admit your mistake to little aunt."

In the living room, those who were sitting, those who were busy in the kitchen, no one cared about the playfulness of the aunt and niece.

Only the old lady became the fire brigade, having to watch the brothers not to quarrel, and having to persuade the aunt and niece not to fight, her brain was about to burst.

"I don't! This is my house!"

Li Shu felt that her hair was touching the water in the fish pond, but still stubbornly refused to admit defeat.

"So what if it's your house?" Li Xue scared her, "If you don't obey, I'll come to your house to clean you up every day."

"Woo—" Li Shu was so angry that she had no way, so she just cried, wiping her eyes and howling.

The old lady scolded with a smile and took her from Li Xue's hands, coaxing her a few times.

Liu Yin in the restaurant brought two daughters-in-law to wrap dumplings, Er Ya was busy cooking in the kitchen alone.

Zhao Yaping took care of her little nephew who was sleeping in the room, and did her homework by the way.

The big grandmother sat in the living room listening to the big radio, looking at the children playing happily.

Wang Lu, who just came, was not idle, teased Li Ning and Li Tang, peeled apples and divided them to the brothers, and went to the restaurant to help, letting Aunt Liu be polite and stretched out her hand.

Li Xue was the aunt, she could help in the kitchen at home, but only ate and drank at the second brother's house.

"Li Xue! Don't get married!"

Perhaps because she was scared, Li Shu, who had landed from the old lady, cried and pointed at her little aunt and shouted, "Wait until you have children—"

"What if I have children?!"

Li Xue really didn't believe in this evil, little Li Shu couldn't be scared?

Li Shu was really not afraid of her, but at this moment she was small and weak, seeing her little aunt coming again, she hurriedly bypassed the old lady and ran up the stairs.

Ran to the second floor in one breath, seeing her little aunt didn't catch up, she also boldly stood at the stairs and shouted, "Wait until you have a child, I'll beat him eight times a day!"

"Don't come down! I'll beat you if you come down!" Li Xue stood at the stairs downstairs and threatened her, "You dare to come down!"

"This is my house!" Li Shu said stiffly, "I'll go down if I want!"

Hearing the footsteps coming from the stairs, she was scared and screamed, shouting in her mouth, "I won't go down if I don't want to!"

"I'll beat you if you come down—"

Li Xue threatened her again, turned and went to the living room, and snatched the orange from her second brother's hand.

"Why is it so lively—"

Li Cai opened the big gate of the hall with white air, and asked with a smile, "Who is shouting?"

"Is it just off work now? No rest?"

The old lady stood in the hall corridor and sized up the third grandson and others who entered the house and asked, "Didn't go home?"

"Came directly after work, no one at home, what are we going home for."

Li Cai waited for his father to enter the house, then took off his scarf on the hanger, took off his thick Lei Feng hat and responded with a smile, "Didn't even turn, we came here after picking up Yuxiu."

In the Northeast context, third grandson really can't be considered a good word, generally describing coldness will say: frozen like a third grandson.

However, Li Cai ranks third in the family, if he is not the third grandson here, who is he?

"Old lady, did you go out in the morning?"

Ji Yuxiu wore a uniform overcoat, looking like she had just come off work, her hair tied behind her head.

The three sisters-in-law had different hairstyles, no one followed anyone.

Zhao Yafang was troublesome during confinement, and had short hair long before giving birth, and it had only grown a little in these few months.

Gu Ning started to keep long hair three years ago because of Li Xuewu.

Ji Yuxiu's hair was neither long nor short, mainly for work convenience. After working in the agency, she thought about perming her hair, but was persuaded by the big sister in the agency.

There were indeed many workplace women who permed their hair in this era, but it was not very suitable for Ji Yuxiu.

After all, she was a newly married little wife, and a small leader in the agency, so she shouldn't be too flamboyant.

At this moment, she changed into slippers at the door, affectionately hugged the old lady's arm and asked in a low voice, "Did big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law buy things for you? Did you bring me a copy?"

"Hahahaha——"

The old lady smiled and tapped her forehead, blaming, "You have one—"

"Hehe——" She also shook the old lady's arm like a spoiled child, and said, "Knew you were the best to me."

"So we are all not good—"

Zhao Yafang came out of the restaurant with an apron, teased Ji Yuxiu and said, "Then that's it, I'll take back the things, this money is really too sad to spend."

"Big sister-in-law——" Ji Yuxiu was not enough to be busy, she ran over and hugged her big sister-in-law affectionately and said, "Who in this house can be better than my big sister-in-law——"

Liu Yin, who was wrapping dumplings in the restaurant, coughed softly with dissatisfaction and said, "Ahem, I'm listening."

"Oh, Mommy——"

Ji Yuxiu was not enough to be busy, she used a sweet voice to run over and coax her mother-in-law, "My mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law in the world."

"Then there is only your second sister-in-law left in this room."

Zhao Yafang still didn't let her go, returned to the dining table, pinched a dumpling and teased her, "Whether you can eat this dumpling tonight depends on your second sister-in-law."

"Then what else does my second sister-in-law say——"

Ji Yuxiu took off her overcoat, rolled up her sleeves and joked, "No matter how good I can speak, I can't speak better than my second sister-in-law's iron teeth and copper teeth——"

"You guys can quarrel, but don't do it."

Li Xuewu stood by the tea cabinet and made tea for his father, reminding the restaurant with a smile, "No matter what, we have to eat this dumpling before doing it."

"Second brother, are you waiting to watch the excitement!"

Ji Yuxiu responded with a smile, "Or are you afraid that my second sister-in-law will be bullied by my big sister-in-law?"

"If you didn't instigate it, it shouldn't happen."

Li Xuewu's eloquence couldn't lose to her? He handed the teacup to his father and asked, "On duty today too?"

"Short of hands, go help."

Li Shun took the teacup, and his attention and the big grandmother's were on the children in the living room.

"Where is Li Shu? Why didn't I see her?"

"Ran upstairs to hide." Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "Driven up by her little aunt."

"Hey! Second brother, don't be conscience-stricken when you speak——" Li Xue turned back and glanced at her second brother, said, "Who? Didn't she run up by herself, what does it have to do with me."

"That's it——" Hearing the movement of her grandfather coming back, Li Shu, who had been sealed for a long time on the stairs, became bold, ran down and complained to her grandfather, "Grandpa, my little aunt always bullies me——"

"You still dare to come down?"

Li Xue stared at her fiercely and said, "I'll count to three, one!"

"Two! Three! What can you do!" Li Shu didn't need her to count, and counted the rest for her. She climbed to her grandfather's side, arrogantly raised her little face and hooked her fingers to compare, "You come over——"

"Give you habit——" Li Xue saw her like this, took the feather duster and wanted to come over.

"Ah——" Li Shu was scared and drilled into her grandfather's arms, like a little chicken causing trouble.

"Quiet for a while——"

Li Shun couldn't bear to see his eldest granddaughter being bullied, even if it was his daughter.

He was very protective of the calf, circled Li Shu in his arms and said, "Don't mess with your little aunt, so impolite."

"It was she who bullied me first——"

Li Shu raised her little face and argued unconvinced, "I was talking to little aunt, and she came to bully me, and said she wanted to establish rules for me."

After complaining, she didn't forget to turn back and mock her little aunt with her grandfather's tone: "Being the same as a child, no adult look!"

"It's all habit given by you——"

Li Xue saw her father supporting this little naughty, and complained with dissatisfaction, "It would be fine if she caused trouble one day."

"My eldest granddaughter doesn't cause trouble."

Li Shun held his eldest granddaughter in his arms, coaxed and said, "Li Shu is the most obedient, the most sensible."

"More sensible than my little aunt——"

How did that saying go, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, this family cannot accommodate two aunts.

Li Shu thought about her little aunt everywhere, and didn't forget to bring her little aunt even when her grandfather praised her.

"Yes, more sensible than your little aunt."

Li Shun pinched her nose with a smile and said, "Don't learn from her, our Li Shu is a big girl."

"Humph——" Li Shu had someone to support her, so she was naturally arrogant, lying in her grandfather's arms and humming, "This Teacher Zhou also praised me, saying I study well and take the initiative to help children."

"Really, so good——"

Li Shun didn't have this patience for any of his children when he was young, and didn't have this tenderness, only for a few grandchildren, that was the tip of his heart.

Seeing his sister pestering his grandfather, Li Tang and Li Ning also surrounded him, climbing up like monkeys.

Li Tang was more stable, just leaning against his grandfather and wanting to squeeze into his arms, Li Ning didn't care about that, and wanted to climb onto his grandfather's neck and ride away along the back of the sofa.

"Get down—"

Li Xuewu saw his son so arrogant, stared and scared him.

Before Li Ning reacted, Li Shun glared at him, as if he was meddling in other people's business.

"It's okay, Grandpa can hold it."

Good, Li Ning dared to climb up without Grandpa's permission, now with Grandpa's support, he dared to go on the roof.

Of course, there was no ladder to go on the roof, but he still had the ability to ride on Grandpa's neck.

Li Xuewen entered the house with cold air and grinned looking at this scene.

When they were young, none of the brothers had ever touched their father's side, even Li Xue couldn't.

Now look, the eldest granddaughter is lying in his arms, the eldest grandson is held in his arms, the little grandson is riding on his neck grabbing his hair and shouting drive, reversing the heaven and earth!

"Just off work? No rest?"

Li Xuewu stood up to make tea for his eldest brother, saw the bag in his hand and asked.

"There was a meeting at the research institute, opened for a day."

Li Xuewen changed his shoes at the door, took off his overcoat and put his bag away, tilted his eyes and signaled the sofa and reminded, "You don't care?"

"Cared." Li Xuewu turned back to look at the sofa following his eldest brother's signal, Li Shu's feet kicked his grandfather's face, helplessly said, "Don't let me care."

"Hahahaha——" Li Shu was kicking her brother's little feet, but she was looking for a target with her body tilted, and kicked her grandfather's face regardless.

"Habitual without edges——"

Li Xue rolled her eyes with dissatisfaction, walked over to continue her tea.

Li Xuewen looked at her with amusement, picked up his teacup and said, "You are the eldest uncle, don't you care?"

"You are the eldest uncle."

Li Xue rolled her eyes, turned and continued to tinker with the TV.

It was also wishful thinking, the only role of this TV at home was a display.

Li Xuewu was too lazy to find a channel to watch when he was at home, that was really finding a channel for two hours, not watching for five minutes, not enough effort.

Gu Ning had no time to tinker with it, Er Ya liked listening to the radio more, Zhao Yaping only had studying in her heart.

Li Xue asked him how to find a channel, Li Xuewu's answer was: luck, not easier than opening a password lock.

"Is it busier in the research institute than school?"

After sitting down on the sofa, Li Xuewu asked his eldest brother, he hadn't been to the research institute for a long time.

Li Xuewen drank a sip of hot tea and replied, "Isn't it about moving, the institute let us report equipment procurement."

"Approved budget for you?" Li Xuewu turned his head to look at him and asked, "How much?"

"Didn't say how much, just let us report."

Li Xuewen looked at him and asked, "You are a group leader, you don't know how much was approved?"

"The budget plan was decided to be redone when I left, and I haven't gone to the unit since I came back."

Li Xuewu peeled roasted peanuts and threw them into his mouth, saying, "This time it should be reduced, but I don't know how much the finance side reduced for you."

"Seems not reduced, there is also addition."

Li Xuewen raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard them say it seems to be specially approved by Director Li."

"Then I don't know." Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and sipped, saying, "If it was specially approved, it should have used the funds left in Hong Kong."

"That's about it, should be."

Li Xuewen folded his right leg and said, "This procurement of equipment and instruments should be introduced from abroad, the leader also reminded us to try to be ahead."

"It's just that you are willing."

Li Xuewu smiled and explained, "Went to Germany once, he saw the productivity and innovation ability brought by science and technology."

"It's better to go out and see."

Li Shun, who let his grandchildren play on him, said at this moment, "Otherwise, you will always be a frog at the bottom of the well, with only the sky as big as the well mouth in front of you."

"In fact, the one that should go out and see most is your Chinese medicine." Li Xuewu looked at his father like his eldest brother and said, "In terms of orthopedics and neurology, Chinese medicine is more advanced than them."

"They need a few months to treat dislocation."

He explained to his father, "It's just a simple recovery technique, but it can be turned into bone dislocation."

"Pfft——" Li Cai remembered something, and said with amusement, "I have seen foreign doctors who came to exchange at Xiehe Hospital, indeed more curious about Chinese medicine, surprised."

Are there foreign doctors coming to China for exchange and study in this era? Not only doctors, but also reporters and businessmen, and even scholars from all aspects come to the mainland for visits.

As far as Li Xuewu knows, the above has not refused any request for visits, let alone closed the investigation for the purpose of cultural and technical exchange.

Many picture materials that can be found in later generations come from foreign reporters who entered the mainland at this time.

So Li Xuewen said there were foreign doctors at Xiehe, and none of the few people were very surprised.

"Western medicine pays more attention to experiments, Chinese medicine pays more attention to experience, combining Chinese and Western medicine is a good way."

After Li Shun finished speaking, Li Cai smiled and responded, "Your point of view can only be said at home, you can't say it to others in the unit."

He turned to look at his eldest brother and second brother and explained, "There are many people in our unit who are on the line, specifically jumping on your little tail when you express your opinion."

"So you can't speak when you see a doctor?"

Li Xuewen was still literary, and said with some dissatisfaction at this moment, "If it goes on like this, don't speak in the future, everyone will communicate with sign language."

"Sign language doesn't make mistakes?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Show me a quotation and let me see."

"I only know how to recite one or two sentences."

Li Xuewen glanced at him, leaned on the sofa and said, "Daily use is enough, who recites these every day."

"Why say you have to strengthen learning." Li Xuewu patted his eldest brother's knee and said, "For someone like you, just stay in the laboratory, don't think about going back to school."

"Hmm, I think so too——"

Li Cai picked up the teacup and echoed, "School can only be more so than our unit."

"Time to eat, stop talking. Go wash your hands."

Liu Yin wiped the flour on her hands and reminded the men in the family, "Wash the children too."

"Alright, one by one."

Li Cai stood up with a smile, picked up Li Ning from his father's neck and walked to the bathroom.

Li Ning was okay with his third uncle, as long as he didn't mention the injection, the third uncle was a good third uncle.

Li Xuewen picked up his son and walked behind to queue, saying one by one, he was responsible for Li Tang.

"I'll go by myself——" Li Shu didn't wait for her father to reach out, jumped down from her grandfather's arms, and ran upstairs to wash her hands in the bathroom upstairs.

The brothers and sisters washed up upstairs every morning, so they specially made a small stool to reach.

Li Xue didn't wait for them, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and went to the table to help set the dumplings.

"There is one more upstairs, you take it away."

Li Xuewu saw the big grandmother was fascinated by the model play on the radio, and asked with a smile.

But the big grandmother waved her hand and said, "People come and go in the front yard, and it will be broken, not worth it."

"What's not worth it." Li Xuewu said frankly, "Gu Ning and I don't listen much, you take it back to kill time at night."

"No need, if you need it, just take it in the store, I don't like to serve it."

Hearing the brothers wash up in the bathroom, he walked to the bathroom with Li Shun.

There were many people at home today, and it was very lively in the house, as if it were the New Year.

Cooperating with the heavy snow that fell last night outside the window, there was a feeling of New Year's Eve dinner under the light.

The big grandmother was still the personality of not asking for help or trouble, she spoke very little when she came to the house, and had no common topics with her son-in-law Li Shun, just talking about family affairs.

Nothing more than the houses in the front and back yards need maintenance, burning in the morning, burning in the evening, can't be cold.

And

"This time I will take the child to live first, you help me clean up the house in the city."

Wu Shuping coaxed her son while giving instructions to Lu Jie, "The location is in the East City, a courtyard house, I don't know anyone, if you have someone suitable, help me find someone to clean it up."

"Has it been a long time since anyone lived there?"

Lu Jie was somewhat surprised, suddenly realizing that Teacher Wu could take the child back to Beijing to live, there must be an arrangement, so it was a courtyard house given to her.

Thinking about it this way, she was really indescribably envious, no matter how good she looked, no matter how high her knowledge was, who could compare to Teacher Wu's good fortune.

Li Xin was brought up by her, she probably knew the situation in this family.

Indescribable envy, and also happy for Teacher Wu and herself.

Teacher Wu finally had a stable home, and she also had a long-term stable job.

From the current situation, could she work until Li Xin goes to school? Perhaps even longer.

Li Xin could go to elementary school, Teacher Wu would only be busier than now, and there were very few people she could trust.

So hearing Teacher Wu say she wanted to clean up the courtyard in Beijing, her face was also full of joyful smiles.

"It should be that no one has lived there for a long time."

Wu Shuping coaxed her son to the ground to play, put on her coat, and introduced, "The house should have been cleaned up the year before last or the year before that, and no one has lived there since. There is furniture, but daily necessities need to be re-purchased, you take more heart."

"Then shall we stay for a few more days?"

Lu Jie discussed, "I'll go back and look at the courtyard, even if it's cleaning and purchasing items, there must be a plan, and I have to help you take care of Li Xin, maybe I really need to find someone to help then."

"Just find someone to clean it."

Wu Shuping changed into her outdoor clothes and explained, "Hand the list of repairs or additions to me, and I will arrange for someone to clean it up."

She had worked in Beijing for a year, and her relationship with Shen Guodong was okay, finding someone to help was not as appropriate as finding him.

Don't look at Li Xuewu giving her a courtyard to live in Beijing, but in her view, this was her home.

What was hard to let go of was not only a few years of life, but also a node anchoring the past.

Wu Shuping was not sure if she would regret today's choice in the future, but the room for her to choose was really not much.

Her relationship with Li Xuewu was easier and more direct than anyone else's, and the foundation of trust was very high.

Even the child was surnamed Li, and she had no relatives in the country, and she had trouble on her body, the only one she could count on and rely on was Li Xuewu, what else could Li Xuewu doubt about her.

Similarly, there was the helplessness of having a child, I'm afraid Zhou Ya Mei couldn't compare to her conditions.

Does Zhou Ya Mei have a house in Beijing?

Yes, in the Workers' New Village, bought by Li Xuewu, but not a single-family courtyard in the city.

She was not comparing anything, but understood a fact in her heart, some things must be responded to.

Getting more than others means paying more, otherwise what is gained will eventually be lost.

Lu Jie didn't know her arrangements, but could understand her situation and was making preparations very actively.

Li Xin also got the surprise of going to Beijing to find Daddy, and at this moment was obediently searching for his own clothes, preparing for the upcoming outing.

Wu Shuping changed into high heels, gave instructions to Lu Jie, and went out.

She still had work to be busy with today, on one hand, it was to handle the work of Shunfeng Trading, and on the other hand, it was to contact Yang Zhao of the Tianjin Station.

Li Xuewu transferred her to Beijing to take over the Dongfeng 31 Construction Company, and at the same time served as the vice president of the Red Star United Construction Engineering General Company, but didn't let her hand over Shunfeng Trading, the work she had always been responsible for.

After Zhou Xiaobai left, during the period when the Trade Management Center suspended the distribution and procurement authority, she finished the work of the past period and had sufficient preparations to deal with the storm that might come at any time.

It was a pity that Li Xuewu and her preparations were not used, the other party retreated in advance, even if they took the initiative to release bait, the other party did not take the bait again.

No one was closer to Li Xuewu's core plan than her, she understood his thoughts: Old Li could not be allowed to fall early, nor could Old Li be allowed to be well now.

So these two years and the next few years were bound to be full of setbacks in Old Li's career, but he could always turn danger into safety.

During Li Xuewu's absence from Beijing, she would execute this plan and keep an eye on Old Li at all times.

So Li Xuewu went to Steel City, everyone was guessing which backhand he left.

At first, they guessed his driver Nie Xiaoguang, but Nie Xiaoguang was a coward, losing his wife and losing his soldiers.

After this kid married Han Lu, he was like a flag being lowered, and there was no movement, many people were praising Han Lu's skill, turning an iron pestle into a needle.

Some guessed it was his secretary Peng Xiaoli, but Peng Xiaoli didn't have any big moves at the Food Factory Production Section, and the news of her marriage to Yu Haitang, the person in charge of the radio station, seemed to have become an abandoned piece.

Guessing Li Xue was even more impossible, no matter how sinister Li Xuewu was, he wouldn't take his sister as a piece.

So every move Li Xuewu made in the group would be carefully interpreted by someone.

It was just that no one could think that the piece he laid out was actually in the United Construction General Company, a female comrade who served as vice president on behalf of Dongfeng Construction.

The United Construction General Company also worked in Beijing, and she also had an office in the Construction Engineering Command Center of the Group Headquarters Building, but few people knew her background, Li Huai De was the only one who knew her identity, but Old Li never doubted her purpose in the group.

Li Huai De didn't say, no one knew.

So all the actions Wu Shuping made against Old Li were not understood by anyone, Old Li himself couldn't think of it, let alone understand it.

A scholar dies for his confidant, Wu Shuping's efforts were rewarded, so she had to work even harder.

What about Li Xuewu?

On the morning of the 19th, Li Xuewu arrived in Beijing by train and didn't go to the unit because it was the weekend.

Today was his real day off, after sending Zhang Enyuan to the guesthouse, he went home.

"Sister Aunt Xiao Ning took the children to the mall." Er Ya opened the big gate and introduced happily when she saw him back, "Aunt Liu came, and sister-in-law, they went together."

"Are you the only one at home?"

Li Xuewu carried his luggage into the courtyard, saw that the snow had been cleaned up, and asked with a smile, "Cleaning the house?"

"Cleaning while there is time."

Er Ya smiled and replied, "Do you have clothes to wash? I just happened to save enough for one time."

"Yes, I'll give them to you later."

Li Xuewu changed into slippers, hung his overcoat on the hanger, and went upstairs.

It was really cleaning the house, all the doors were open, and the sheets and quilt covers on the bed were half changed.

"I can finish cleaning soon."

Er Ya, who followed, explained in a panic, "Wait for me a moment."

"No need to rush, clean slowly."

Li Xuewu went to the changing room to change the set he was wearing, and gave her the clothes he changed from his luggage together.

"Did they say they would come back for lunch?"

"Didn't say, they should be eating at the courtyard, or maybe eating outside."

Er Ya introduced with a smile, "Last time they ate outside, Aunt Liu treated."

"Then why didn't you follow?"

Li Xuewu teased her, "Even Yaping went, aren't you wronged being alone at home?"

"I really can't get used to eating outside."

Er Ya hugged a large bag of sheets, quilt covers, and his clothes and went out of the master bedroom, complaining, "I just feel that the food at home is good, and I can eat my fill."

It wasn't that the food outside couldn't fill her, but she wasn't used to eating at restaurants and didn't dare to use chopsticks.

"I'm going out for a trip, tell them when they come back that I'm eating at home tonight."

Li Xuewu changed into outdoor clothes, didn't take the bag he brought back, just put on his overcoat and went out.

Er Ya sent him to the garage and reminded him, "I don't know how to clean the car, no one has moved it since it was put here."

"It's not a delicate thing."

Li Xuewu knew what she was worried about, shook his head slightly, got into the car, and said, "Alright, go do your work, I'll eat outside at noon too, to save you trouble."

"I know." Er Ya sent his car away, and only returned to the house after closing the garage door.

Except for the two children, everyone in this family was a busy person, even she had a pile of things to do.

Li Xuewu was busy outside all year round, coming home once or twice a month, Gu Ning was busy at the unit during the day and busy studying when she came back at night, and Zhao Yaping was the same.

Er Ya shouldered the service and logistics work of this family, fortunately, she had already trained herself.

Qin Jingru taught her that when one person is at home, keep it simple, noodles with canned food are good.

The food and drink in this family were not ordinary, in the autumn she went to the photo studio to take a photo of herself and mailed it home, her mother wrote back saying she was fatter, and was happy for this, hoping she would work hard.

Everything in Beijing was good, except there was no family.

"This singing is not good, do it again, the comrades in the band should press the rhythm."

Jin Jiaojiao was very capable of conducting the rehearsal scene, and she was also wearing the costume.

From the tone, it could be seen that she still had a certain prestige here, coming from confidence in technology.

Tong Huimei had already put on makeup and rehearsed again with the team according to what she said.

Between the singing, she looked back, but saw that person standing in the dim light.

The singing stopped abruptly, causing everyone on stage to be stunned, what was wrong again?

Jin Jiaojiao just wanted to frown, but saw Tong Huimei looking fixedly at the stage, following her gaze, but saw the person they were thinking of suddenly appeared.

"Take a break."

She looked back at Tong Huimei and took the initiative to remind her, the scene could not be without an explanation.

But she didn't expect Tong Huimei to react and say, "No need, do it again, one pass."

Jin Jiaojiao looked at her, followed her wishes and organized it again, the sound of gongs and drums sounded...

"Sister didn't mean it."

Afraid that Li Xuewu would be angry, after the rehearsal ended, everyone returned to the backstage to remove makeup.

Jin Jiaojiao cleaned up simply and chased out, seeing him still here, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuewu saw her anxious explanation and shook his head with amusement, saying, "It's okay, the play is bigger than the sky."

"You are bigger than the play—" Jin Jiaojiao smiled and patted his arm, saying, "It's good that you are not angry, sister will be done soon, very quickly."

"No rush, today is just to invite you to eat." Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "What do you want to eat at noon, tell me."

"Eat roast duck? I've been thinking about this for a long time."

Jin Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Since performing in the theater, we can only think about it, no time to eat."

"So hard?" Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said, "Then eat roast duck at noon."

"Really thinking about this bite, how long has it been." Jin Jiaojiao was very serious on stage just now, but in front of him, she returned to her previous delicate appearance.

Li Xuewu sized up her changes, hadn't seen her for a long time, but her face had a few more heroic spirits.

"Why? Are you in charge now?"

"It's not sister—" Jin Jiaojiao said helplessly, "The teacher said let her be the troupe leader, but she insisted on pushing it to me, letting me suffer this fatigue."

"It seems you have really become stars."

Li Xuewu said in a tone of relief, "It's really not easy."

"Without you, where would there be any stars."

Jin Jiaojiao knew how to speak, and said with a smile, "Maybe the two of us sisters would have become lonely ghosts long ago, and no one would know if we stank to death."

Li Xuewu looked at her helplessly and said, "Why mention the past things."

"How could I forget." Jin Jiaojiao said lightly, "Even if sister forgot, and didn't want to mention the past things, but I can't forget."

She pouted and said, "Who threw us sisters there regardless of life or death, I will remember for a lifetime."

"They are gone, but I firmly believe that they will come back sooner or later."

She looked up at Li Xuewu and said, "Or maybe one day we can walk out openly and honestly."
