Chapter 361

When Li Xuewu returned from the back courtyard carrying the things he wanted to send, he saw that the family had finished eating.

Li Xuewu lifted the door curtain and pushed the door open, but didn't enter the room. He stood at the door and said to Li Xuecai: "Third, when you go to pick up Ji Yuxiu, don't forget to go to my room in the back courtyard and get that bag of seafood. I left it for you."

"Okay, thanks, Second Brother!"

Li Xuecai was biting a steamed bun, his eyes squinting with a smile.

Seeing Li Xuewu carrying a bag, Liu Yin knew he was going out to deliver gifts, so she said: "Have you had breakfast? Come in."

Li Xuewu stomped his feet and said: "My shoes are full of snow water, I won't come in. I have to go, I'm busy this morning."

Liu Yin sent Li Xuewu out and instructed: "Drive slowly on the road."

"Okay!" Li Xuewu responded and flashed into the second gate, heading toward the west courtyard.

At this time, the boys who had finished eating had already started to help open the door panels of the storefront.

Although they were all said to be fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen years old, their frames looked very thin.

Seeing Li Xuewu, they dodged, looking very afraid of him.

Glancing at these boys, Li Xuewu didn't mind, put the bag into the trunk, and then slammed the car door shut.

Seeing Li Xuewu start the car, Huo Yongfang, who had just come out, ran to the gate and opened it.

Li Xuewu looked at this boy who was articulate and sensible, thinking he had to tell Wen San'er to keep a closer eye on him later.

This wasn't Li Xuewu being cheap, making things difficult for him, but because he understood human nature too well.

They were all sixteen years old. Huo Yongfang being so sensible so early wasn't his nature, but the tempering and forcing of the environment.

Although he looked like a good place now, what would he do if one day another path was placed before him?

The more such children were, the greater the resentment in their hearts, because you couldn't see his anger or hear his complaints, so you didn't know what he was thinking.

There were many people on the street on Sunday. Those who worked could sleep in, but those who didn't work had to come out to make a living.

The transport team's tricycles pedaled fast, and Li Xuewu never dared to drive fast in the alleys.

At this time, children didn't have a sense of car speed, and one might dart out from anywhere.

After getting on the main road, Li Xuewu turned the car and headed toward the side of the lake.

Since seeing her once on the 29th, he hadn't seen Sister Lou for almost a month.

Arriving at the lake villa, Li Xuewu parked the car against the wall at the gate and got out of the car carrying two bags from the trunk.

Just as he wanted to knock on the door, he saw Sister Lou already standing at the gate.

"How did you know I was coming?"

Seeing Li Xuewu grinning, Watching Lou Xiaoe glared at him, saw the things in his hand, and asked: "What did you bring again?"

This time she didn't cry or make a scene, knowing Li Xuewu was in training. Seeing him bring gifts for her, her heart felt warm.

"Local specialties, I also brought a bag for my father-in-law, you can take it over later."

As he spoke, he handed a bag to Sister Lou and turned back to close the car door.

Sister Lou took it and smelled the fishy scent, wrinkled her nose, and asked: "What is it?"

Li Xuewu saw someone in the alley, smiled, pushed her, and said: "Won't you know when you go inside?"

The two went into the courtyard laughing. The snow had stopped by now, and there were patches of water stains on the ground.

"Finished training?"

"Yeah."

Li Xuewu responded and asked back: "Did you miss me?"

"Go away."

Sister Lou glanced at Li Xuewu and went into the room carrying the bag.

After Li Xuewu put the bag in the west room, Sister Lou hugged the bad person she had been thinking about from behind.

"Hahahaha, who was being stubborn just now?"

Li Xuewu turned around, picked up Sister Lou, and walked toward the east room.

"Not allowed to say!"

Holding Sister Lou and placing her on the kang, Li Xuewu looked at the furnishings in the room and asked: "Did you just come back too?"

"Came back yesterday."

Sister Lou smoothed her long hair by her ear, her face blushing, and said: "I went to live at my mother's after you left."

Knowing Sister Lou missed him, Li Xuewu smiled and talked about the Northeast itinerary and the Jinmen itinerary.

Watching Lou Xiaoe held Li Xuewu's hand and asked: "Busy today?"

"What's wrong? Something up?"

"No."

Watching Lou Xiaoe squeezed Li Xuewu's hand and said: "Make you something delicious?"

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled and hugged Sister Lou, and Watching Lou Xiaoe also hugged Li Xuewu's neck.

"Have to go around and handle relations in a while, can't be silent after going out."

Knowing Li Xuewu had to be busy today, Watching Lou Xiaoe still hummed with dissatisfaction.

"Why do you have so many relations?"

"No way."

Li Xuewu shook his head helplessly and said: "Isn't that what human feelings are? Busy from Monday to Friday, no time to move around."

Watching Lou Xiaoe hugged Li Xuewu somewhat reluctantly and said: "I missed you."

"I know, so I'm here, aren't I? Make me something delicious tonight."

"Yeah."

What Sister Lou made Li Xuewu most satisfied with was that she was sensible. She lowered her head, kissed Li Xuewu, and let go of her arms.

Li Xuewu reached out and pinched Sister Lou's face, laughing: "Sleep more after eating lunch."

"Go away!"

Sister Lou understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words and playfully slapped Li Xuewu.

"Hurry up and get busy!"

Li Xuewu smiled and walked out of the room.

Watching Lou Xiaoe watched Li Xuewu go out, pinched her hand, and followed him out to send him off.

Seeing that bad person drive the car away, she returned to the room.

When unloading the car just now, she had already seen other bags in the car, knowing Li Xuewu hadn't lied to her. Now she was thinking about what to make for dinner.

But thinking of this, she remembered what that bad person said about sleeping more in the afternoon...

"Why are you bringing things again!"

Every time she came to see her godmother, Director Wang would say this.

Seeing Li Xuewu enter carrying a bag, she knew he had brought things here again.

"Nothing good, just some local seafood specialties from Jinmen."

Li Xuewu smiled and was welcomed into the room by his godmother. Seeing Zheng Shusen standing in the room waiting for him, he took out a cigarette and lit one for his godfather.

"The weather is getting warmer, you should go out more. It's hard to have a holiday, yet you're hiding at home reading, your body won't be able to take it."

As his godmother offered him a seat, Li Xuewu sat next to Zheng Shusen, looked at the book face down on the coffee table, and advised him.

Director Wang sat to one side and said dissatisfiedly: "Told him many times, but he doesn't listen. He's just this kind of person, doesn't want to move his legs."

"Hahahaha."

Knowing Li Xuewu was concerned about him, Zheng Shusen smiled and said: "Nowhere to go, nothing interesting at the gate."

Li Xuewu took a puff of the cigarette and said: "Go further, like my dad, head to the side of the lake, then walk back, or go around a circle and come back."

"Sigh, if only it were like that."

Director Wang said angrily: "Last time I said I'd walk with him, but he wouldn't do it, said it didn't look good."

Li Xuewu laughed: "What's not good about an old couple taking a stroll?"

"Dislikes me."

"Hahahaha."

Seeing his wife say that, Zheng Shusen had to smile and say: "Okay, okay, go out, go out, we'll go for a stroll tomorrow morning."

Seeing Zheng Shusen say that, Director Wang smiled and said to Li Xuewu: "Still you have the influence to persuade him. Xicai came back and didn't even dare to get near his dad."

"Hahahaha."

The three chatted for a while, and after the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Li Xuewu stood up to say goodbye.

Director Wang wanted to keep Li Xuewu for a meal.

"Drink with your dad at noon."

"No, Mom."

Li Xuewu said while buttoning his coat: "Have to go to Director Dong's house to sit for a while, promised Gu Ning to go home for lunch at noon."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Director Wang smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Bring her here sometime, let Mom see."

"When I have time, don't be stingy then!"

Sending Li Xuewu out, Director Wang smiled and said: "Look at what you're saying, am I that stingy?"

Seeing Li Xuewu came by car, she instructed: "Drive carefully on the road."

"Okay!"

Li Xuewu smiled, waved, and drove the car to Dong Wenxue's house.

Seeing Li Xuewu's car go far away, Director Wang closed the gate and returned to the room.

Zheng Shusen put on his glasses, picked up the book on the coffee table again, and seeing his wife enter, asked: "Whose family is Li Xuewu's suitor from?"

"Didn't I tell you to rest, why are you reading again?"

Director Wang walked to the sofa, snatched the book from Zheng Shusen's hand, sat on the sofa, and said: "A child from the big courtyard."

"Oh?"

Zheng Shusen was snatched of his book, had to take off his glasses helplessly, and was surprised to hear about Li Xuewu's suitor's situation.

Director Wang put the book away and explained: "From the General Hospital courtyard, Gu Haitao, do you have any impression?"

"Gu Haitao?"

Zheng Shusen thought for a while, opened his eyes, and asked: "Him?"

"Yeah."

Director Wang nodded and said: "I didn't expect this child to be so capable of tossing, finding such a good marriage."

"Hmm, that's it."

Zheng Shusen thought for a long time before he got Gu Haitao's situation clear.

They had met before, but there was no communication.

Director Wang just said this, then stood up to tidy up the bag Li Xuewu brought.

While taking out the things Li Xuewu had packed in small bags, she said: "This child, thinks of this side every time. When I see his suitor, I must give a big red envelope."

Zheng Shusen basked in the sun, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "There will be a time for wind and waves, hanging the clouds and sailing across the sea."

"I think it's good."

Director Wang picked up the shrimp paste in the bag, opened it, smelled it, and said: "I don't hope he has much power, step by step is good. Look at this shrimp paste, better than what Xiaoyan brought back."

As she spoke, she placed the shrimp paste in front of Zheng Shusen and continued: "Although the temper and character are good now, and the way of dealing with people is generous, he's just too young, and he's doing practical work. Good steel is easy to break, I'm worried."

Zheng Shusen smelled the shrimp paste, looked inside, nodded, and said: "It's good stuff, no strange smell."

After resealing the shrimp paste, he said: "This kid is capable, can dig out anything."

"It suits your taste, still this son is better, your own son wouldn't think about what you like."

Director Wang curled her lip, expressing her dissatisfaction with her own son.

"Loved them in vain!"

"Hahahaha."

Zheng Shusen didn't comment on his wife's complaints, just laughed.

Director Wang tidied up the things, packed them in a box, put them in the kitchen, and then walked out clapping her hands: "Must think about this child's affairs in the future."

As she spoke, she glared at Zheng Shusen and said: "Inquire about the Li family's affairs. Not to mention Xuewu's, I heard the third one also has a suitor, almost forming a family. Take care of what can be taken care of without others saying it."

As she spoke, she didn't wait for Zheng Shusen to agree, and continued: "Anyway, I don't care. In my one-third of an acre, I can't let my son be wronged."

"Oh."

Zheng Shusen said helplessly while holding the shrimp paste: "Managed from small to big, you still think Li Xuewu is a child, needing you to look after him? He's already an important figure in the East City."

"Just because he's a figure, we have to look after him more."

Director Wang frowned and said: "Not everyone is a good person. Seeing Li Xuewu so young, there are always those annoying people."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Zheng Shusen put down the shrimp paste bottle and said: "Look after, look after."

Director Wang glared and said: "Don't just agree and let it go. I won't violate discipline to help him, but I won't allow others to violate discipline to bully him."

Zheng Shusen smiled and nodded: "Why didn't I see you being so attentive to Xicai's affairs?"

"Nonsense, whose son doesn't hurt?"

Speaking of her own son, Director Wang sighed and said: "But he has to be that kind of material. Compared to Xicai, that brain, I hope he doesn't advance too fast. Can't even walk, don't run."

Zheng Shusen nodded. He wasn't a confused parent and was very clear about his child's character.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Xicai couldn't compare to Zheng Xiaoyan in political acumen.

"This Li Xuewu looked smart before, but how was this quality cultivated?"

This question was not only curious to Zheng Shusen, but also to Han Shu and Dong Wenxue.

They were a couple who watched Li Xuewu grow up bit by bit, especially Dong Wenxue, who appreciated and recognized Li Xuewu's ability and political sensitivity.

Han Shu looked at the things Li Xuewu brought at the door and said with a smile: "Looks like you didn't study hard during training."

"Ah?"

Li Xuewu was stunned by this, then asked: "Han Laoshi, what do you mean?"

Han Shu glanced at Dong Wenxue, who was drinking tea, and said: "Look at your teacher, how serious he was during training, didn't even have time to buy things for the family."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled, picked up the teapot to refill their tea, and said: "I just happened to run into it."

Dong Wenxue smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's my fault, I'm wrong. I'll definitely learn more from Xuewu in the future, care more about you, and care more about our son."

Han Shu smiled and asked: "Is this difficult? Won't it delay work?"

"Won't delay, heh."

Dong Wenxue admitted his mistake to his wife very generously and made a guarantee, which made Li Xuewu give his teacher a thumbs up.

Han Shu smiled, then asked Li Xuewu: "Heard your teacher going to Steel City to take office was your suggestion?"

"How is that possible?"

Li Xuewu was prepared for his teacher's wife to attack him when he came. Now hearing Han Laoshi ask, he immediately denied it.

"I was just a section chief when my teacher was nominated. Even now, I don't have the power or ability to recommend my teacher!"

Han Shu narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Xuewu: "You were an honest child when you came to the house before, how did you learn to lie now? Who did you learn it from?"

Did this need to be said?

Li Xuewu deliberately looked at Dong Wenxue nervously.

And Dong Wenxue, seeing Li Xuewu look over, smiled bitterly. This student was too bad.

Seeing Dong Wenxue smile bitterly, Li Xuewu hurriedly turned his head and said: "It wasn't taught by my teacher!"

"Hahahaha."

Han Shu covered her mouth and laughed at Li Xuewu: "You can tell it wasn't taught by your teacher. Who would be dug a hole by their own student?"

Dong Wenxue also smiled and leaned back on the sofa: "This kid secretly called me when he was in Steel City, saying it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, heh heh heh."

Han Shu glared at Li Xuewu: "Your teacher has already confessed, are you still gritting your teeth?"

"Sigh~"

Li Xuewu sighed and said: "It's all my teacher's revolutionary will that isn't firm."

Han Shu said to Li Xuewu: "No lunch today."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled and said to Dong Wenxue: "Teacher, you have to take full responsibility for this."

Dong Wenxue laughed: "Your teacher has been unhappy for several days."

"I'm not."

Han Shu laughed: "If the heart isn't here, what's the use of keeping the person?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's my fault. I forced my teacher to go to Steel City. Wasn't it thinking of opening a second front, thinking of having a buffer rear?"

"You really threw your teacher out."

Han Shu said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Now it's good, it's fulfilled your teacher's wish, don't have to guard the family, can be free outside."

"I believe in my teacher's character."

Li Xuewu knew Han Shu wasn't angry, just taking this opportunity to point out Dong Wenxue while talking to him. The two's relationship was very stable.

"Going to the Northeast was indeed hard for my teacher. The situation there is very complicated, needing to re-establish a correct ideological system and stabilize the normal political ecology. It really needs a Confucian general."

"If my teacher wasn't suitable for this position, the factory leadership wouldn't have considered letting my teacher take office in a crisis and save the Steel Mill from fire and water."

"You really know how to cheer for your teacher!"

Han Shu took a sip of tea, looked at the two, and said: "An old fox, a little fox."

"Hahahaha."

Dong Wenxue smiled and shook his head: "I asked him if the situation was clear at the time, guess what he said? Hahahaha."

Seeing Han Shu look at Li Xuewu with a smile, and this student lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Dong Wenxue smiled and explained: "He said if the situation were clear, there would be nothing for me to do."

Li Xuewu didn't mind his teacher saying what he said at the time, lowered his head, drank tea, and said: "I have a clear division of labor with my teacher. I try to keep the competitors balanced, and my teacher is responsible for standing out."

Han Shu looked at Dong Wenxue and asked: "Is this the reason for the work plan you wrote early and late during training?"

"Heh heh heh."

Dong Wenxue smiled and said: "It's so chaotic, whoever competes won't get it, because there are interests involved. Only by choosing the one who doesn't compete can we balance everyone's demands."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuewu appreciatively and said: "You can handle that work plan, no need to follow the rules. Your thinking is more active than mine and can better adapt to the current environment."

"Teacher, you overestimate me."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I have ideas, but I still need you, the captain, to grasp the direction. We are in the same boat, so my teacher's wife won't say I'm a little fox."

"You're still holding a grudge!"

"Hahahaha."

Han Shu looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and asked: "How are things with Gu Ning? Why did I hear you called Aunt Ding?"

As she spoke, she looked at Dong Wenxue and said: "Looks like you're not a very good captain, did you receive a greeting call from your student?"

Dong Wenxue also rebelled at this time, turning the gun to shoot inside.

"Sigh~ It's a pity this isn't a son. If there were a daughter, wouldn't she enjoy this treatment too?"

"Can't take you two anymore."

Li Xuewu smiled, stood up, and said: "Okay, no lunch provided, I won't wait here."

Seeing Li Xuewu about to leave, Dong Wenxue laughed: "Your teacher's wife won't make it for you, I'll make it for you."

"Forget it!"

Li Xuewu smiled, walked to the door, put on his coat, and laughed: "You should figure out how much water to add to braised rice first."

Han Shu smiled and turned to ask: "Really not eating here?"

"Going to pick up Gu Ning in a while, promised the family to eat together at noon."

"Ho! I see!"

Han Shu smiled, stood up, and asked: "When will it be decided?"

"Have to wait a bit."

Li Xuewu put on his gloves, placed his hand on the door, and said: "Maybe today is free. My teacher goes to Steel City tomorrow, and I have to take the lead. The branch bureau is waiting for me to report."

At this time, the sun outside was strong, and both stood up to send Li Xuewu out.

"Speed up, waiting for your victorious good news."

"Yes, guarantee to complete the mission."

Li Xuewu smiled, saluted Han Shu, then got into the car, started it, and drove toward Andingmen.

Li Xuewu came today to confirm the future work direction of the security department with Dong Wenxue.

During the investigation of Fu Bin's case, Dong Wenxue set the direction for the future work of the security department.

This was his right as the head of the security department, and also his duty.

But plans couldn't keep up with changes. Now that they had encountered a rare opportunity, both had the intention to open up a world in the Northeast.

So Dong Wenxue made a leapfrog promotion just after taking over the security department and went to the Steel City branch factory.

Although the Steel Mill leadership still let Dong Wenxue hold the position of security director, this was more to help him better master the Steel Mill with the help of the security department.

In the separate talks with Factory Director Yang and Yang Shuji, it was very clear that he wasn't going to fight a fire, but to have long-term psychological preparation for struggle.

Everyone knew that the Steel Mill had already been registered by the leadership above, and the impact was very bad.

Why was there no leadership promotion in the Steel Mill this year? It had a lot to do with the series of accidents in the Steel Mill.

And now there was clear news that the leadership that the Steel Mill had been lacking would also be fully staffed.

Including two deputy factory directors and two deputy secretaries, this was a relatively large-scale impact on the political ecology of the Steel Mill.

After it was determined that Dong Wenxue was going to the Northeast, not only did Factory Director Yang breathe a sigh of relief, but Yang Shuji was also satisfied with this candidate.

Although Li Huai De had his own suggestions, he had no opinion on Dong Wenxue's promotion.

The security department had always been his jurisdiction, and Dong Wenxue got along very well with Li Huai De.

For the Steel City branch factory, Li Huai De felt his influence had increased.

Except for Deputy Factory Director Nie, who had opinions, everyone else expressed support for Dong Wenxue.

Yang Shuji gave Dong Wenxue instructions to continue investigating the chaos in the Steel Mill, but also warned him to fix the scope within the Steel Mill, and not exceed the Steel Mill at most.

Factory Director Yang had higher expectations for Dong Wenxue, knowing Dong Wenxue's high cultural level, and hoped to bring the security department's management experience to Steel City.

Dong Wenxue was also a person who dared to take responsibility, and timely put forward his own ideas.

This included the emergency plan and emergency plan drill system, the security department's document processing system, and the security department's construction opinions that Li Xuewu was currently fully implementing in the security department.

Factory Director Yang and others also supported deepening the security department's various systems and excellent experience in Steel City.

The training ground in Hongxing Village had been largely completed. In addition to a group of participating units sending their security and powerful departments for training, Xu Ning also intended to send the Steel City security department for training in stages.

Dong Wenxue approved this suggestion directly when Li Xuewu wasn't there, and requested that Xu Ning could take bigger steps, and could start carrying out cadre and security exchanges within the security department from now on.

The meaning was very clear: support Xu Ning in carrying out drastic reforms, major blood transfusions, and major training in the Steel Mill's security department.

The reform of the Steel Mill's security department was the first shot Dong Wenxue fired before stepping into the Northeast.

Following that were the rectification and reform of other relevant departments.

If the security department was stable, the reform of other departments would be stable.

Because Dong Wenxue had not only Xu Ning's knife in his hand, but also Yang Zongfang's assistance.

Li Xuewu had already established a good friendship with Yang Zongfang before leaving the Steel Mill.

Now with Dong Wenxue in charge of the Steel City Steel Mill, Yang Zongfang would work more closely around Dong Wenxue.

This was a natural alliance, although Yang Zongfang's relationship was Yang Yuansong.

But a county official is not as good as the current manager. With Yang Yuansong supporting Dong Wenxue, Yang Zongfang wasn't stupid.

Why else would Dong Wenxue be so attentive to Li Xuewu's arrangements? Going to the Northeast this time, he had great confidence and certainty in mastering the Steel Mill.

Although the leadership didn't say it clearly, Dong Wenxue also knew that he had a great possibility of staying in Steel City until the day he was promoted to deputy factory director.

Eradicate abuses, rectify thinking, and stabilize production within one to two years, and then it would be time to manage the Steel Mill full-time.

If done well, he would continue to manage the Steel Mill with the treatment of a deputy factory director, and then transition back to the Steel Mill.

And the Steel Mill's security department had basically been determined to be mastered by Li Xuewu.

Rather than hindering the student's development at this time and delaying his own energy, Dong Wenxue chose to let go completely.

The meaning of his instructions to Li Xuewu today was also very clear: the power of the pen was handed over to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu's reply to Dong Wenxue was also very clear: the director of the security department was still Dong Wenxue.

Just like Li Xuewu's decision at the beginning, since Dong Wenxue was a big tree, put Dong Wenxue in front.

Let Dong Wenxue be in the limelight in front, and he himself would work hard and enjoy the success behind.

Dong Wenxue of course knew what Li Xuewu was thinking, but the bigger the land, the bigger the courage.

He had confidence in his own ability, plus Han Shu's help, Steel City wasn't a problem.

Although Han Shu didn't want Dong Wenxue to go to the Northeast, that was a complaint made by a woman from an emotional perspective.

Of course she supported her husband's progress, including positive and side support.

Which woman wouldn't support her husband's progress? Even the mother-in-law supported it.

"Didn't I say not to let you enter the room if you bring things again!"

Ding Fengxia walked out of the room and said to Li Xuewu, who was moving things down from the car.

"Mom."

Li Xuewu turned his head, saw Ding Fengxia had already walked out, greeted her, and then smiled: "It's not that I wanted to take them, it's my parents who instructed me to bring you local specialties from Jinmen."

"Just you know how to talk!"

Ding Fengxia walked over, looked at her daughter standing to one side, and said: "Why don't you help Xuewu?"

"No, no."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "There's a fishy smell on the bag, I'll take it."

Xiao Qi and Xiao Hu stood next to Li Xuewu, took the bags, and carried them to the kitchen.

"Why did you take so much?"

Seeing Li Xuewu took two bags of seafood alone, and even moved down a bag of rice.

"Northeast rice sent by a friend, ours here are all from the south, not as delicious as the Northeast rice, you try it."

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xiao Qi and Xiao Hu to return, grabbed the rice bag with both hands, swung it onto his shoulder, and carried it to the kitchen.

Ding Fengxia stood behind, beaming with joy. This son-in-law's frame was really too good.

Seeing Li Xuewu enter carrying the rice bag, Rice Master, who was cooking, was also startled.

"This... this, why did you carry it, give it to me quickly."

"No, no, don't change hands, where should you put it?"

Rice Master hurriedly pointed to the place where rice was kept in the warehouse.

"Your body is really good!"

Rice Master smiled and gestured a thumbs up.

Li Xuewu smiled and went out the door again, saying: "Young."

Looking at Xiao Qi tidying up in the warehouse, Rice Master smiled and said: "Still this son-in-law is solid, all hard goods."

Xiao Qi looked at the sea cucumber in his hand and smiled: "A very good person, you'll know after getting along for a long time."

"Yeah."

Rice Master wiped his hands with a towel and looked at Li Xuewu sending things to Ding Bianji outside the window.

"Mom, this is the handbag I promised you last time."

Li Xuewu handed a leather bag wrapped in kraft paper to Ding Fengxia.

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "Oh, didn't I say I didn't want it?"

Although she said that, her hand still took the bag.

After bringing Li Xuewu into the room, Ding Fengxia put the paper bag aside, said to Gu Ning: "Hurry up and tidy up, Xuewu came to pick you up, stay a while longer after going."

"Yeah."

Gu Ning agreed and went upstairs to change clothes.

"Come, sit."

Ding Fengxia pulled Li Xuewu to sit on the sofa and smiled: "Is the family doing well?"

"Good."

Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "It's just that my mom is anxious to ask about our two's affairs."

Knowing Ding Fengxia had this intention, Li Xuewu first talked about his mother, which made it more comfortable for Ding Fengxia to ask about herself.

"Oh, what parents aren't anxious about their children's marriage."

Knowing Li Xuewu took this matter to heart, she didn't urge him again, and agreed with Gu Haitao's words.

"Is the training study going well?"

Seeing Ding Bianji ask, Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "Quite good, met many capable and talented classmates, learned many things."

"Hahahaha."

Ding Fengxia held Li Xuewu's hand and looked at him, liking him more and more. This son-in-law was too sensible, just a bit humble.

"Didn't anything else happen? Like getting any honors?"

Li Xuewu looked at Ding Bianji and laughed: "Got it, excellent student."

"How did you get it?"

Ding Fengxia smiled and pursued: "You're the youngest in the class, right?"

Guessing Ding Bianji might know something, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Youngest, maybe everyone let me, so they gave me the honor."

"Hahahaha."

The more Li Xuewu didn't say, the more Ding Fengxia wanted to tease Li Xuewu into saying it.

Seeing Li Xuewu's appearance now, she happily patted Li Xuewu's hand.

"No wonder your Uncle Gu likes you. This personality of yours is very similar to his. He even called yesterday to ask about your situation."

Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "Let you and Uncle Gu worry. The climate in the south is humid, tell Uncle Gu to take care of himself."

"Got it. I'll tell your Uncle Gu when he calls again that his son-in-law is thinking of him, hahahaha."

Seeing Li Xuewu's generous appearance, not embarrassed by her jokes, she knew he had accepted her family from his heart.

"Your Uncle Gu took the medicinal wine when he left. I also told the guard to remind him to drink it regularly."

"My dad still has some, I'll take more when Uncle Gu finishes it."

"Okay, heh heh heh."

Li Xuewu accompanied his mother-in-law in the living room for a while, and Gu Ning changed clothes and came down from upstairs.

"Go quickly after tidying up. It's hard for Xiao Ning to have a day off, stay a while longer."

Ding Fengxia patted Li Xuewu and instructed, then said to Gu Ning: "Help Aunt Liu with work, don't just sit there when you go."

"Yes."

Seeing Gu Ning agree, she sent Li Xuewu and the two out the door.

Looking at the two who were a perfect match, Ding Fengxia smiled and waved, indicating no need to be polite, go quickly.

Xiao Qi, who sent them out, watched Li Xuewu's car go out and closed the gate.

Looking at Ding Bianji still standing in the courtyard, she smiled and said: "Just chased them away, now reluctant again?"

"Who wouldn't hurt?"

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "With Xiao Ning's personality, this is meeting parents-in-law who don't say anything. Otherwise, going to someone else's house would cause trouble."

"Quite good."

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Dr. Gu won't be wronged in anyone's house."

"Heh heh heh."

Ding Bianji smiled and said: "I know my own daughter. Saying she's quiet is nice, actually she's withdrawn. Who would be willing to accommodate her?"

"Fortunately, she found someone she likes. She's willing, and we're relieved to see Li Xuewu."

"Yeah."

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "After contact, I feel he's a very good person. Look at the things he brought, they're solid."

"This child!"

Ding Bianji frowned and said: "Not an outsider, why be so polite."

"There's a lot!"

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Not counting the frozen hairtail and large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, there are various seafood, even Rice Master said the things are top quality."

"This child!"

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "I really have to talk to him tonight, can't spend money so randomly."

As she spoke, she went to the kitchen warehouse to see.

Rice Master stood inside and pointed, saying: "Really didn't take little, counting this rice, they are all rare things, your son-in-law is solid."

"Just too solid."

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "I really have to talk to him tonight, can't spend money so randomly."

After saying that, she took Xiao Qi from the kitchen into the living room.

"It's a new son-in-law, so the gift should be thick."

Xiao Qi followed into the living room to tidy up the teacups and advised Ding Bianji.

"Xiao Ning doesn't care about money, if he's still so extravagant, how should this life be lived?"

Thinking about talking to Li Xuewu tonight, she saw the handbag Li Xuewu gave her on the sofa.

Because they were all wrapped in kraft paper, she didn't see the style inside. Now she reached out, took it, and unwrapped the paper outside.

"Ho!"

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Now you know the son-in-law's goodness!"

Ding Fengxia looked at the elegant and atmospheric genuine leather handbag in her hand, and couldn't help but show a happy expression.

The unique design, different craftsmanship, and ingenious hardware accessories made Ding Fengxia very satisfied with Li Xuewu's gift.

Especially the plaid silk scarf tied to one side of the leather handle made the handbag highlight a different style.

Finally, seeing the word "Ding" on the zipper handle, she was moved by her son-in-law's attentiveness.

Xiao Qi saw Ding Bianji looking carefully, so she took the tea set to the kitchen.

When she finished washing the tea set and returned to the living room, she saw Ding Bianji carrying the handbag and looking at herself in the mirror at the door.

Ding Fengxia saw Xiao Qi enter, turned around, looked at Xiao Qi, and asked: "How does it look? Is it suitable?"

"Suitable, very suitable for you."

Xiao Qi praised with a smile, placed the tea set on the coffee table, and smiled: "This son-in-law wasn't loved in vain."

"That's it! Not in vain that I stewed so many chickens for him."

After enjoying it for a while, Ding Bianji carried the handbag, changed the things from her original bag into the new handbag, and said: "I must show it off to them tomorrow at work."

When Li Xuewu took Gu Ning home, he glanced at the girl sitting quietly in the passenger seat.

"Any place you want to play?"

"What?"

Gu Ning didn't understand Li Xuewu's meaning. Hearing Li Xuewu speak suddenly, she turned and asked.

Li Xuewu smiled and explained: "My brother has always wanted to take his suitor to go skating with us."

"At this time?"

Gu Ning looked at the weather outside and said worriedly: "Is the ice about to melt?"

"Yeah."

Li Xuewu also looked outside worriedly, then said: "The lake side should be fine, people go to play every day, let's go around in a while."

Gu Ning nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Looking at the somewhat silent Gu Ning, Li Xuewu smiled and asked: "Thinking about something? Why aren't you talking?"

"No, not thinking about anything."
