Chapter 199: Giving Gifts

Just then, Huhu Zhengquan took a fish of over three jin out of the water bucket and handed it to the postman. The postman took a net bag out of his canvas bag, put the fish in, and handed Huhu Zhengquan a few tickets.

Being far away, Li Li Xuewu didn't see clearly how much money it was, but it was about a few jiao. The price of fish at this time fluctuated, ranging from four jiao to over one yuan, but most were a few jiao per jin.

The postman waved his hand at Huhu Zhengquan, hung the net bag on the handlebar, and pushed the cart toward the shore. Li Li Xuewu gestured toward the postman's direction as if stretching, and saw Liu Liu Zhaolun on the shore follow him on his bicycle.

Regardless of whether he really came to buy fish, as long as he had direct contact with Huhu Zhengquan, he had to follow. The one who chiseled the ice had been chiseling ice for people on the ice, so Li Li Xuewu didn't call anyone to follow him, otherwise, he would have to follow him to investigate.

The Third Master saw Li Li Xuewu stretching, looked at his own float without movement, and said, "Fishing is a test of patience. You have to sit still, only then can you..."

Before the Third Master finished speaking, Li Li Xuewu's float sank again. The Third Master's heart also sank. What's going on? One after another, is it endless? Who is the old fisherman here?

Li Li Xuewu tried the strength of the fishing rod. It wasn't as strong as before, so he tried to pull it up slowly. Although it was a bit difficult, he still pulled it out.

The Third Master prayed for a long time, and seeing that the fish Li Li Xuewu caught was really a cruciform carp about the size of a palm, he smiled and said sarcastically to Li Li Xuewu, "Hey, a mosquito is still meat, you can stew a soup."

Li Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the Third Master's sarcasm, took the fish off, and threw it back into the ice hole. This stunned the Third Master. Is he angry?

Li Li Xuewu put the bait on the hook and put it back down, explaining, "The fish hasn't grown up yet. Eating such a small one is like eating its life."

Only then did the Third Master know that Li Li Xuewu was learning from the old fishermen who had a heart, not "sweeping everything in one net" or draining the pond to catch fish. He didn't expect this brat to have such a sensible side.

"Fish are eaten, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. Eating any fish is eating its life."

Seeing the Third Master arguing with him, Li Li Xuewu thought it might be because he had a few fish of that size in his water bucket, and he felt as if he was mocking him. Li Li Xuewu really didn't mean that.

"Hey, this water world has some rules. Young ones, those who are small, should live well and grow their bodies well. Those who are old and useless in the water should be eaten. Old fish should have some self-awareness."

This choked the Third Master into a hiccup. He scolded Li Li Xuewu in his heart, but he didn't dare to argue with Li Li Xuewu anymore. This brat's mouth was too poisonous, he couldn't win against him.

Li Li Xuewu looked at the Third Master's appearance and muttered in his heart, "That was sarcasm."

After dealing with the Third Master, the fish started biting the hook. During the noon when Li Li Xuewu was monitoring Huhu Zhengquan, big fish were caught one after another.

Why were they all big fish? Because Li Li Xuewu threw the small ones back. Even the one-jin ones Li Li Xuewu didn't want, which made the Third Master's heart ache.

The Third Master left after one o'clock in the afternoon. He left very "unpeacefully," with unwillingness.

He had agreed to go back at noon, but seeing Li Li Xuewu catching fish one after another, he lingered and didn't want to leave. But the more anxious he was, the less he could catch fish. Finally, he couldn't drag it out anymore, so he packed up his fishing gear with a bucket of small miscellaneous fish and pushed his cart away.

When he left, he remembered this spot in his heart. Obviously, he was planning to come again next week. Since he didn't invite Li Li Xuewu, he definitely wouldn't bring Li Li Xuewu with him.

Seeing the Third Master looking back every step of the way, Li Li Xuewu waited until after 2 o'clock, and Huhu Zhengquan also packed up his fishing gear and pushed his cart away.

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand, and he still guarded this pit and continued fishing.

It wasn't that Li Li Xuewu was greedy for this pit. Despite the red-eyed people waiting around, Li Li Xuewu didn't care about these few fish. He insisted on staying here because the view was wide, and he could still see his position even after Huhu Zhengquan walked two li away.

He was afraid that this person had other arrangements nearby, so he fished until 2:30 before getting up to pack his fishing gear. Seeing Li Li Xuewu packing his fishing gear, a few people who had been waiting on the side couldn't wait to throw their fishing hooks into Li Li Xuewu's pit.

Li Li Xuewu didn't care about these people, packed up his fishing rod, threw the fish by his feet into the carriage bucket, and drove the carriage toward the park gate under the envious eyes of a group of people.

It seemed like he really became a wholesaler. The joke he made with the Third Master in the morning actually came true. Li Li Xuewu looked at the fish in the carriage bucket and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

There were 11 carp and grass carp over three jin. The small ones were thrown back, and the rest were big ones. The biggest was the ten-jin one.

There were also three bass, all three or four jin. This might have been raised by some gourmet "Master" back then.

There were four cruciform carp of over three jin. This counted as big fish, because cruciform carp don't grow fast, so this size was okay.

There were also three or four sharp-snouted fish and barbel, which were common fish in northern rivers and lakes. They weren't rare. There should be rarer varieties in this Kunminghu, but Li Li Xuewu didn't have the fate to see them today.

Li Li Xuewu pondered for a while and felt that he could catch so many fish because luck accounted for 50%, his personal fishing skills accounted for 50%, and the remaining 90% was because Master Ding's fishing rod and bait were really good.

The Third Master's analysis wasn't nonsense. The bait was indeed good. The Third Master also caught fish using Li Li Xuewu's bait, but seeing Li Li Xuewu catching more, he became impatient. He kept telling Li Li Xuewu to sit still, but he couldn't sit still himself, as if his butt had nails in it. How could he catch fish?

Driving the carriage out of the park gate, there was really nothing to see in the Summer Palace at this time. He could come to swim in the summer, but could only come to fish in the winter.

Those pavilions and towers hadn't been renovated yet, looking dilapidated. They didn't have the grand scenery of later generations. Now they were all bare, and the strong wind could freeze people to death.

Xu Ning sat on the back seat of the bicycle Zhao Zhao Yajun was riding. Both of them caught up with Li Li Xuewu's carriage, and their left feet stepped on the side of the carriage, letting the carriage carry them.

Xu Ning pursed his lips at the fish in the carriage and said with a smile, "Li Kezhang, you can be considered 'using public office for private gain.' You were asked to go for close reconnaissance, how come you started stocking up on goods?"

Li Li Xuewu stretched the reins, letting the carriage slow down, fearing that Zhao Zhao Yajun's bicycle wouldn't be stable and they would fall.

"Do you think I want to? The fish almost grew two legs and climbed onto my cart themselves. I'm still holding back. If I didn't, you'd have to go back to the factory and drive a truck to pick me up."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu talking so exaggeratedly, Xu Ning and the other laughed out loud. Seeing Li Li Xuewu's carriage slow down, Xu Ning jumped off the bicycle, ran two steps, jumped onto Li Li Xuewu's carriage, and patted the horse's butt.

The big green horse accelerated suddenly, throwing Zhao Zhao Yajun behind the carriage. Zhao Zhao Yajun shook the handlebar, pedaled hard twice, and then caught up.

"Li Kezhang Xu, you're really poisonous. You can go back by yourself later."

Watching Xu Ning playing familiarly with Zhao Zhao Yajun, Li Li Xuewu put his legs on the carriage shaft, let the big green horse walk by itself, leaned against the carriage side, and asked Xu Ning on the other side, "Is there any result from that postman?"

Xu Ning shook his head and said, "No, how could it be so fast? Are you suspecting that he came to meet someone?"

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said, "There must be someone meeting him. The only intersection is that postman. If not, then he set up a maze for us."

Xu Ning asked Li Li Xuewu, "What about that group of young people? I saw them talking to Huhu Zhengquan too."

Li Li Xuewu didn't know how to answer Xu Ning's question, but still said, "They spoke very loudly. I could hear clearly. They were just bumped into and apologized for a few words. There was nothing else, and there was no intersection."

Xu Ning tilted his head and looked at Li Li Xuewu, saying, "Since there's no problem, then keep following. It was agreed in the morning that Li Kezhang Han has been waiting at the bookstore in the afternoon. You don't need to go, Monday..."

Seeing Xu Ning become hesitant when talking about the back, Li Li Xuewu flicked the whip whistle at the big green horse. The whip "cracked" and exploded over the big green horse. Xu Ning clearly felt the carriage speed up.

"Heaven wants to rain, a mother wants to marry, let it be. Maybe I'll have to mix with you, Li Kezhang Xu, in the future. You have to take care of me."

Xu Ning straightened his body and said, "Then we have to agree first, who to listen to when the time comes. Once you reach my one-third of an acre of land, you have to listen to my arrangements, hahahaha."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu joking with him, Xu Ning's heart was settled. In the Security Section, if you want to talk about who understands Li Li Xuewu's temper, Xu Ning dares to say he is second, and no one dares to say they are first. That's how tough he is.

As long as the Li Kezhang is serious, then this matter is an important matter and must be taken seriously. But if the Li Kezhang is joking and explaining, and doing it easily, then he must have it in the bag.

He dropped Xu Ning off at Deshengmen, watched him get on Zhao Zhao Yajun's bicycle and head east, and he drove the carriage into Deshengmen, walking along the lake toward home.

When he reached the villa by the lake, Li Li Xuewu parked the cart at the entrance of the alley and carried two fish into the courtyard. The gate wasn't locked, and Lou Lou Xiaoe was hanging clothes in the courtyard.

"Oh, you even put on makeup to visit? Not bad, you still know to bring gifts."

Listening to Sister Lou's sour words, Li Li Xuewu pretended to be deaf, carried two bass weighing three or four jin, bypassed Sister Lou, entered the kitchen, put the fish on the cutting board in the room, and rubbed Sister Lou's hair.

"Want to grow your hair long? Hmm, long hair looks good."

Patting away Li Li Xuewu's big hand, Lou Lou Xiaoe scolded, "Full of fishy smell, don't touch me."

Li Li Xuewu laughed "hehe" and said, "There's still something to do today, I'll be over later."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu walking out, Lou Lou Xiaoe followed him out of the room and asked, "Went fishing?"

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Had some work, fished by the way."

Lou Lou Xiaoe nodded, didn't care about the flaws in Li Li Xuewu's words, took off the glasses on Li Li Xuewu's face and stuffed them into Li Li Xuewu's bag, and asked, "Eating here tonight?"

Looking at Lou Lou Xiaoe's expectant eyes, Li Li Xuewu nodded and emphasized, "Just eat steamed bass. If you don't know how, go ask Mom."

Lou Lou Xiaoe pushed Li Li Xuewu out of the gate and said, "Why so many rules? Eat if you want, don't if you don't."

Li Li Xuewu didn't fight with Sister Lou again. Time was a bit tight today, so he waved his hand, went out of the alley, and drove the carriage back.

Passing by the Street Police Station, Li Li Xuewu parked the carriage at the entrance. Under the laughing eyes of the guard, he carried two big carp and walked into the hall swaggeringly. Along the way, seeing this dressed-up Li Station Chief, the police officers all greeted him with suppressed laughter.

Li Li Xuewu's outfit, neither foreign nor local, really made people have a contrasting and cute laughing effect on the Station Chief.

Li Li Xuewu knocked on Shen Fang's office door, then pushed it open fiercely, and learned the dialect, "Hungry, is the Station Chief in? I'm here to ask you for something."

Shen Fang had seen Li Li Xuewu, who was playing tricks, from the window. Seeing him joking with himself, he also smiled and said, "I, Shen Fang, am selfless and don't take a needle or a thread from the masses."

Li Li Xuewu put the two big carp on Shen Fang's desk and said with a smile, "That's right, how much can a needle or a thread be worth? If you, Station Chief Shen, want to eat, you have to eat a fat one."

Shen Fang rolled his eyes at Li Li Xuewu and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Is this outfit for monitoring? Can you still get fish while monitoring?"

Li Li Xuewu picked up the document Shen Fang wrote, looked at it, put it back, and said, "No way, gifted and talented. Why? Can't write anymore? Want to worship me as your big brother? I'll teach you a few tricks. My article was in the newspaper."

Shen Fang pointed at Li Li Xuewu with a fountain pen and said, "Looking at your outfit, I'd worship you as my grandfather. Hey, what about those in the detention room?"

Li Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from his pocket, shook one out, put it in his mouth, lit it with Shen Fang's matches, and said, "Leave them! Why? Someone pleaded for them? Or should I take them away?"

Shen Fang buckled the fountain pen cap, raised his eyebrows, and said domineeringly, "I'm determined to win this time. I've decided to eat this piece of cake. Even if the King of Heaven comes to plead, it won't work."

Li Li Xuewu flicked the ash in the ashtray in front of Shen Fang and said, "There is a sentence in the Mahayana Buddhist classic 'Avatamsaka Sutra': 'Do not forget the original intention, and you will achieve the end. The original intention is easy to obtain, but the end is difficult to guard'."

"Alright, the fish was caught by me. Eat it with peace of mind. How to eat it is up to you. I'm leaving."

Li Li Xuewu said this double-entendre sentence, put on his gloves, and went out the door, leaving Shen Fang staring at the two big carp.

Shen Fang had already understood the meaning of Li Li Xuewu's words. "The fish was caught by me" meant that Li Li Xuewu would take the initiative to take responsibility; "Eat it with peace of mind" meant that he was willing to share this credit with Shen Fang; "How to eat it is up to you" meant that the credit was delivered to your hand, how to handle it, whether to eat it, and whether you were willing to be on the same side as Li Li Xuewu, depended on yourself.

Shen Fang had also been in the "officialdom" for several years, so of course, he could understand Li Li Xuewu's words. But sometimes he couldn't figure out the routine of Li Li Xuewu's words, feeling that Li Li Xuewu's words were unfathomable, just like an old official. Thinking of Li Li Xuewu's age, he felt that Li Li Xuewu was really a monster.

Li Li Xuewu drove the carriage and returned home. When he entered the Bai Bai Xiyuan, the big truck parked in the courtyard this morning had already driven away. Li Li Xuewu unhitched the cart by the wall and, with the help of the old lady, carried the fish into the inverted room.

At this time, Wen San'er and the others hadn't returned yet. Li Li Xuewu was in a hurry, so he carried two big white buckets containing 9 fish and walked into the courtyard.

First, he went to his own house. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ji Ji Yuxiu sitting at the table chatting with Li Xuecai and Li Xue.

"Ji Yuxiu is here?"

Seeing Li Li Xuewu come in, Ji Ji Yuxiu and the others were very happy. Liu Yin looked okay, maybe because there were guests, so she didn't say anything, took Li Li Xuewu's fish, and put them in a big basin.

Li Li Xuewu pointed to the three fish in the basin and said, "Coming early is not as good as coming coincidentally. Everyone has a share. When you go home later, take those two weighing over 3 jin and eat them fresh."

Ji Ji Yuxiu looked at the three fish in the big basin and said in surprise, "You went fishing? Why didn't you say so earlier? We would have gone with you. We just wandered around the Dong'an second-hand book market today, it was boring."

Li Li Xuewu didn't dare to take this curious baby out, so he perfunctorily said, "Next time, next time for sure. You guys play first, I have something to do, I have to go out again later."

Li Li Xuewu greeted his mother and walked toward the backyard. His eldest brother wasn't in that room. It seemed he hadn't returned yet.

Carrying the remaining 6 fish into the backyard house, the room was quite lively. His grandmother was holding Li Shu and sitting on the sofa. Li Shu was gesturing to the others and saying something "babbling."

Qin Qin Huairu was sitting at the sewing machine by the fireplace, sewing white sand curtains. The First Aunt and Yu Li were standing by the sofa cutting fabric. Seeing Li Li Xuewu come in, they all looked over. Li Shu even shouted "ya ya" at him.

Li Li Xuewu put the two buckets of fish at the door and said, "I went out to do something and got some fish by the way. They are all fresh. When you leave later, take two each. I won't treat everyone to dinner. Thank you so much for your help today."

The First Aunt looked at the old lady and said with a smile, "It's just helping out, why bring fish? Li Xuewu, why are you so polite?"

Yu Li also said embarrassedly, "I'm even more embarrassed. I left early this morning, I really didn't know..."

Li Li Xuewu saw his bicycle parked at his door. Yu Li said this, obviously knowing about the change in his family last night. She was very embarrassed and blamed herself for not borrowing the cart.

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. It was a family separation we had planned long ago. Didn't you see I was preparing to pack up for a new home? It's nothing. I've been helping you for a day, and this fish is what you deserve."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu say this, Qin Qin Huairu took the conversation and rounded it up, "I'll take what's given to me. I've been tired for a day, a quilt, two sets of bedding, a thick door curtain, it really tired us out. See, there are only two sets of curtains left. We'll try to finish before dinner. Those fish will be our hard work fee."

The First Aunt laughed, "Only you know how to talk. It's just manual work, we're used to it, what's there to be tired of." 【100】 The old lady held Li Shu. Seeing Li Shu reaching out to grab Li Li Xuewu, she stood up while coaxing, "Li Xuewu didn't be polite when asking you for help, so you don't have to be polite with Li Xuewu. If he gives it to you, take it. This is what should be."

The old lady held Li Shu, and seeing Li Shu reach out to grab Li Li Xuewu, she stood up while holding her and coaxed, "Li Xuewu didn't stand on ceremony when asking for your help, so you shouldn't stand on ceremony with him either. If he gives it to you, just take it; it's only right."

Li Li Xuewu stood at the door and said, "It should be, it should be. Everyone has worked hard. I have something to do. You guys help me close the door when you're done."

The First Aunt said, "Go do your work, we'll tidy up for you before leaving."

Li Li Xuewu thanked them, nodded to the old lady, and went out of the room. He hadn't walked a few steps when he heard Qin Qin Huairu calling him from behind.

"Li Xuewu, Banggeng bought the rooster back, it's already in the chicken coop."

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I might be busy these few days, I might not be able to come back tonight. You are close to this side, take care of it more. You help me tidy up the curtains and stuff. I have to go and build some relationships now, time is really tight."

Qin Qin Huairu saw that Li Li Xuewu really had something to do, so she said, "Then you go do your work, I'll help you tidy up here."

Li Li Xuewu pointed to the two white buckets at the door and said, "Don't forget the fish, I'm leaving first."

After speaking, he turned and walked out. When he reached the middle courtyard, he saw Li Xuecai leading Li Xue and Ji Ji Yuxiu toward the back.

Seeing Li Li Xuewu walk over, Li Xuecai said, "Second Brother, I'm taking Sister Ji Yuxiu to visit your new house."

Li Li Xuewu said with a smile, "They are making curtains, it's a mess. If you want to see it, go ahead. Ji Yuxiu, come play often in the future. My younger brother and sister are well-behaved and rarely make good friends."

Ji Ji Yuxiu watched Li Li Xuewu come out of the backyard in a hurry and asked, "Station Chief Li, you really have something to do? If it's inconvenient, I won't go see it."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "We are about the same age, just call me Li Li Xuewu in private. My grandmother is in the backyard, you guys go see it. Just help me make suggestions, and tell me when I come back."

While saying this, he also said to Li Xuecai: "Take Ji Yuxiu around well, and let Brother Biao and Brother Shen Guodong send Ji Yuxiu back together tonight."

After explaining to his younger brother, he said to Ji Ji Yuxiu: "I really have something to do today, I really can't spare the time to accompany you. I have to build some real relationships later. Ji Yuxiu, eat dinner at home before letting Xuecai and my brothers send you back."

Without waiting for Ji Ji Yuxiu to say anything else, he waved his hand and said, "That's it." After speaking, he went to the outer courtyard.

Li Xuecai was very happy to hear his second brother's arrangement. This young lady, who was full of spirit, was exactly the one he admired. He was grateful to his second brother for creating opportunities for him, and guided Ji Ji Yuxiu to the backyard.

Li Li Xuewu entered the room, changed into clean clothes, washed his hands and face, chose three skins from the small warehouse and put them in three bags, and chose six big carp, put them in three bags, and hung them on both sides of the bicycle and in the front basket.

He pushed the bicycle and went to the Bai Bai Xiyuan, wanting to go around and go out through the Bai Bai Xiyuan gate.

When he reached the Bai Bai Xiyuan, he saw the old lady moving the saddle, and the fishing gear was also on the cart.

"Li Xuewu, where did this saddle come from?"

Seeing the old lady ask, Li Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Knowing you like this stuff, I specially found it for you. You have time to match this saddle with a stirrup, otherwise, it can't be used."

The old lady liked this stuff very much. She hugged it and walked to Li Li Xuewu's side, reluctant to put it on the ground.

"This is a rare item, it must have cost a lot of money. I'll tidy it up for you, you can use it. I can't use it anymore, these old arms and legs, I can't get on a horse."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the fishing rod on the cart and said, "When you have time, you can go to the lake and walk around. There are many old men fishing there, go and chat with them."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "I don't like this. Alright, I'll tidy it up and put it in the small warehouse. You go do your work."

Li Li Xuewu saw the old lady go to the inverted room, so he rode his bicycle to his godfather's house. He was an adult now, standing on his own, so he should pay his respects.

It happened to be Sunday, and Director Wang and his wife were both at home.

Li Li Xuewu saw the gate wasn't locked, so he entered the courtyard himself. When he entered the room carrying two bags, the couple was just preparing to cook.

"Yo, Li Xuewu is here. Come in quickly. Why don't you stay at home in this cold weather?"

Li Li Xuewu put the bag with fish on the ground at the door, handed the bag with skins to his godmother, and said, "I got some skins in the Northeast a while ago. I picked a good one for you. See if you can make a vest or something."

After talking to his godmother, he said to Zheng Zheng Shusen, "I went to get some fish today. It's fresh. I brought you two. You two old people taste it. It's fish from Kunminghu."

Zheng Zheng Shusen waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to get fish in this cold weather. Keep it for yourself. You still think of us two old people."

Seeing Zheng Zheng Shusen asking him to sit, Li Li Xuewu took out a cigarette and lit it for his godfather, and lit one for himself, then said, "My brother and sister aren't by your side. If I don't think of you two, then you really become empty-nesters."

The godmother looked at the skins in her hand and said, "How old are your father and I? How can we be considered old people? Don't always bring things here. You just started working. But then again, these skins are really good. It's just right to make a vest for your father. Your father says his shoulders hurt whenever he catches a cold."

Li Li Xuewu laughed, didn't say whether to take it or not, chatted with Zheng Zheng Shusen for the time of a cigarette, saw his godmother get up to cook the fish, hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and waved his hand.

"Mom, I won't eat here. I have something to do later. It's really something, I'm not pretending with you."

The capital is like this. In winter, the whole family doesn't go to work, so they have two meals. They eat one at nine or ten in the morning, and one at three or four in the afternoon. That's it. One is to save food, the other is to save trouble, too lazy to light the fire.

Li Li Xuewu stood up while talking, and said to Zheng Zheng Shusen, who stood up to send him off, "Dad, don't send me off. Burn more in the room, don't catch a cold. This weather looks like it's blowing evil wind, it's going to snow heavily. Drink some medicinal wine I sent last time before going out tomorrow morning. Take care of your body, don't take it lightly. Having a good body is the capital for work."

Zheng Zheng Shusen was also a person who said one thing and meant another in his unit. He was serious all day long. It wasn't that people were afraid to see him, but no one dared to joke with Zheng Zheng Shusen. But now he was "lectured" by the "long-winded" Li Li Xuewu until he couldn't laugh or cry, and could only nod repeatedly.

The old couple lived alone, and they liked children who were filial and "long-winded" like this. Especially since Li Li Xuewu really cared about the old couple as relatives, without any crooked thoughts, and his straightforward personality was liked by both of them.

Director Wang stood at the door and looked at Li Li Xuewu, who was tying his hat straps, and said, "What kind of personality is your father? How could he go to work with the smell of alcohol? The heating in the unit isn't hot and he doesn't say anything. He doesn't even say anything when he gets home."

Li Li Xuewu laughed "hehe" and said, "My dad still thinks he's a young man. Alright, I'm leaving. By the way, Mom, don't move the coal or gas yourself. If there's any heavy work, just call me or call Lao Biaozi and the others at the recycling station. It's not far. You're your own child, you should use them."

Zheng Zheng Shusen waved his hand at Director Wang and said, "Why tell the child these things? Everything is settled at home. There's no heavy work. Li Xuewu, if you're busy, go do your work, ride slowly on the road."

"I'm willing to say it because it's my own son. You stay in the room, don't come out, I'll send Li Xuewu off."

Director Wang didn't let Zheng Zheng Shusen come out of the room, and sent Li Li Xuewu out of the gate herself.

Li Li Xuewu didn't let his godmother walk much, pushed her back after two steps, and rode his bicycle to Dong Wenxue's house under the old couple's instructions.

Don't say, it was sunny and clear in the morning, but the wind started to blow in the afternoon. It was only three o'clock, and the sky was about to turn dark. The wind was blowing fiercely, circling, without direction, blowing the dry leaves and snowflakes on the ground flying everywhere.

Li Li Xuewu looked at the sky and felt that it was really going to snow heavily as he said. The wind was blowing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

Thanks to Li Li Xuewu's youth and strength, whether it was headwind or crosswind, he maintained a steady speed. It took about ten minutes to ride to the courtyard of Dong Wenxue's house.

At this time, the sky was already quite dark. Li Li Xuewu parked his bicycle in the courtyard, carried the two bags of skins on his shoulders, and carried the two bags of fish in his hands, entering the room like a villager visiting relatives in the city.

Sister-in-law Han saw Li Li Xuewu enter the courtyard from the living room window. As soon as Li Li Xuewu entered the hall, Sister-in-law Han took the bag off Li Li Xuewu's shoulder.

"What did you bring again? Why are you so polite every time you come? Are you cold?" Sister-in-law Han always spoke in a slow tone.

Li Li Xuewu waved at Director Ren and Sister Xie sitting in the living room, and put the bags at the door.

"Just right, Sister and Brother-in-law are here, I don't have to run another trip. Fresh fish from Kunminghu, skins from the Northeast, both are in two copies, already divided. Sister, take yours back later."

Sister Xie stood up and walked over, saying, "I have a share too? It seems it wasn't a wasted trip today." While speaking, she had already walked to the front, telling Li Li Xuewu to take off his hat and go into the room to get warm, while she and Sister-in-law Han looked at the skins at the door.

Li Li Xuewu hung his gloves and leather jacket on the coat rack at the door, put the cotton hat on his head on the radiator at the door, and found the part of the scarf that was covering his mouth and spread it on the radiator.

He rode fast just now, the lining of the hat had been soaked with sweat, and the scarf wrapped around his face was also soaked with breath, with ice chips hanging on it.

"Oh my god, it's too cold, it hurts my bones. Sister, you have a share even if you don't come. Hehe, when have I ever forgotten you when I have good things?"

Answering the question, Li Li Xuewu walked to Dong Wenxue's side and sat down, took the hot tea handed by the teacher and took a sip, immediately feeling a warm current flowing from his mouth to his stomach, dispelling the cold in his stomach.

"The sky is overcast, it looks like it's going to snow heavily, and you're still running out."

Seeing Director Ren talking to him, Li Li Xuewu put the teacup on the tea table in front of him, and replied, "Haven't been here for several days. I happened to be on a mission today, so I got some fresh fish by the way and sent them over for you to taste. This wild fish is fragrant, you don't even need to put oil when cooking."

Dong Wenxue knew what mission Li Li Xuewu was on, patted Li Li Xuewu's knee, and said, "Hard work."

Li Li Xuewu picked up the teapot and refilled Director Ren's tea, then refilled Dong Wenxue's tea, and finally refilled his own tea, saying while refilling, "Not hard work. It was fine in the morning and noon, the sun was strong and there was no change in the weather. It was only after everyone returned that the evil wind started blowing."

After the politeness, Sister Xie and Sister-in-law Han said at the door: "Hey, the skins Li Xuewu brought are really good. Did you bring these back from the Northeast last time?"

Li Li Xuewu turned sideways and said, "Yes, I couldn't carry them last time, so I brought them this time. You can see what warm items you want to make."

Sister Xie nodded and said, "That's great. It's cold, this is really sending charcoal in the snow. Thank you."

After speaking, Sister-in-law Han and the other turned their heads to look at the skins again, calculating what to make while gesturing on their bodies.

Li Li Xuewu answered Sister Xie's question, then turned to report the dynamics of last night and today to Dong Wenxue. Because Dong Wenxue didn't avoid Ren Ren Xiaoyu, Li Li Xuewu didn't avoid anything when reporting, although he was restrained.

Dong Wenxue drank the tea, nodded, and said, "It looks like a big fish is about to appear. Such an organization doesn't act, just like a fish lying at the bottom of the water, you can't see it. But as long as it starts to move, it will stir up the mud and water at the bottom, just to stir up the water, so it can play the trick of a cicada shedding its skin."

Li Li Xuewu knew the information was still in the office desk, and said softly, "I think we can start chasing it on Monday."

Dong Wenxue put the teacup on the tea table, crossed his right leg over his left, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay, as long as it starts running, don't let it stop. Let it run faster and faster, let it be overwhelmed, don't give it a chance to stir up the water. That way, the secrets on it will be shaken off more completely, and the people on the same rope will be dragged to run together. There will always be those who run fast and those who run slow. We follow behind and catch them one by one, until only one is left."

Li Li Xuewu said with a smile, "I can't exert any force on the bright side. I might be laid off starting tomorrow, so I still need the teacher to arrange."

Dong Wenxue looked at Li Li Xuewu with a smile and shook his head, "Still need to continue training, learn to endure. This situation is special, can't do this next time. Find an opportunity to sit down with Factory Director Yang afterward and make things clear. He will understand."

Li Li Xuewu nodded. Where do enemies come from in politics? It's nothing more than the intensity of compromise. Now is not the time for him to come to power and wrestle, so just show his sharp teeth and claws, no need to be like a hedgehog. Besides, he couldn't do anything to Factory Director Yang this time.

"Afterward, I'll make an appointment with Xu Sinian to see when it's convenient for the Factory Director, and I'll ask the teacher to help explain."

Dong Wenxue waved his hand and said, "It's not that complicated. He was tricked by you this time, he'll be happy if you take the initiative to find him to talk. Some things are better for you two to talk about in private."

Li Li Xuewu nodded to show he understood, then thought of something, a wicked smile appeared on his face, "Why is Old Li so quiet? Didn't think about joining in?"

Hearing Li Li Xuewu finish asking, Dong Wenxue smiled and said, "Only you dare to call him that. Little Li, Old Li, be careful. This time Li Li Huai De is because of some other things, he doesn't want to participate. Didn't you see he hasn't been in the office for the past two days? He hid, went to Shanxi, said he went to inspect the Sales Department, hehe."

Li Li Xuewu curled his lips. Dong Wenxue's test of the water this time had actually achieved its goal, knowing the leader's attitude and views on him. Now all that was left was to settle them one by one.

"It's good that he's not here, it saves a lot of trouble. You just do your own thing, I'll handle the rest. Also, Dongfeng is also borrowed, it's a cooperative relationship. You are now on the same starting line. How much you can chase behind the target depends on your ability."

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Where in the world is there a free lunch? If there is, it has a hook. I understand this truth. How much they can grab is their ability."

Dong Wenxue patted Li Li Xuewu and said, "This is a bit arrogant. Still need to be humble."

Seeing the teacher and student finished talking, Director Ren put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and asked with a smile, "Li Xuewu is almost twenty, really have no thoughts about Gu Ning? She has a very good evaluation of you. Leader Gu thinks highly of you."

Seeing Ren Ren Xiaoyu bring up this matter again, Li Li Xuewu said with a wry smile, "Better not. There's a generation gap. By the way."

While speaking, Li Li Xuewu said to Dong Wenxue, "I haven't thanked the teacher for your help yet. If you have time, please help me thank Leader Gu. I'll prepare the gift."

Dong Wenxue looked at Ren Ren Xiaoyu, turned his face to Li Li Xuewu, and said, "Wait until this matter is over, then we'll talk."

Since Dong Wenxue said not to worry, Li Li Xuewu accepted it. Then let's talk about it when the time comes.

Chatting with the teacher for a few words, Li Li Xuewu looked at his watch, stood up, and said, "Teacher, Sister-in-law, I have something to do at home, I have to go back first."

Sister-in-law Han came out of the kitchen and said to Li Li Xuewu, "The fish you brought has been thawed. Eat dinner here before leaving, anyway, it's already dark."

Li Li Xuewu walked to the door to put on his clothes and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't pretend. I really have something to do at home. Next time, I'll bring fish again, and you can cook for me."

After Li Li Xuewu was dressed, Sister-in-law Han tied the scarf behind Li Li Xuewu and said, "Since you have something to do, I won't keep you. Be careful on the road."
