Chapter 447: Raised on Chocolate

Wang Wang Shuhua smiled and stood at the door looking at the two of them busy.

Seeing Li Li Xuewu wearing her apron, looking like a bellyband, she couldn't help but laugh.

"You kid, you said you'd have a good meal when you came."

"Mom, I've finished cutting the meat."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and took the vegetable basket from his godmother's hand and put it aside, untied the apron, and smiled: "The rest depends on you."

"This kid."

Wang Wang Shuhua was truly happy, happier than when her own son came home.

Her own son only called her at the unit, and didn't even come home to see them.

"How did you two think of eating hot pot?"

Zheng Zheng Shusen was staring at the charcoal fire in the furnace, smiling and replying: "It was Li Xuewu who said it, and he also told me to burn charcoal."

This was the first time a young person dared to order him around, but Zheng Zheng Shusen felt intimate being ordered by this godson.

Who doesn't like bustle, who doesn't like filial children.

From Li Li Xuewu, Zheng Zheng Shusen didn't feel like an outsider, only felt warm.

"Hehe."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and helped his godmother tie the apron, bent down to pick up the green onions in the vegetable basket and peeled them.

"Late spring cold, afraid you'll be cold!"

Today is not late spring cold, this is earthquake cold.

Don't know what the reason is, the earthquake is snowing, and there is white hair on the ground.

"Mainly thinking that everyone worked hard today, just want to eat something simple."

Li Li Xuewu put the peeled onions on the cutting board and went to get the cabbage.

Wang Wang Shuhua waved her hand and said: "Don't be busy, you've been tired all day, rest for a while."

Li Li Xuewu broke off the old leaves outside the cabbage, washed them with water, and put them on the side of the cutting board.

"This little work isn't tiring."

As he spoke, he took the potato peeler on the wall, picked up the potatoes in the bag, and sat by the furnace to scrape the potatoes.

"The three of us work together, and everyone will be relaxed, hehe."

Wang Wang Shuhua knew that her godson felt sorry for her hard work, so he was grabbing work to do.

Not to mention the status of Deputy Division Chief now, even before, this second young master of the Li family was someone who didn't touch kitchen work, when had he done kitchen work.

He had been waiting for meals every time he came to eat, and today he was so abnormal, wasn't it because he felt sorry for her.

Both of them were scared to death during the earthquake last night, one in the district and one in the neighborhood, missing each other, but couldn't contact each other.

It wasn't until the power was restored that they made a peace call, and didn't say much.

Feeling the son's concern, Wang Wang Shuhua wiped her tears, avoiding Li Li Xuewu's sight, thinking of the fear during the earthquake.

"Mom, let's eat clear soup, don't put anything else!"

"Hey, I know."

Wang Wang Shuhua didn't know if Li Li Xuewu ate the base, but she knew her lover loved clear soup.

This kid can take care of everyone's emotions, how can people not like him.

The clear soup base is very simple, onion, ginger, red dates, salt.

There are no conditions now, if there were conditions, you could put some ginseng.

Wang Wang Shuhua heated the pot, dropped rapeseed oil, fried the ingredients, and put the lamb washed by Li Li Xuewu in.

Before the lamb was hot, she poured clear water into the pot.

"Come, Li Xuewu, you skim the blood foam, Mom will cut the vegetables."

"I'm good at this."

Li Li Xuewu took the spoon and slowly skimmed the blood foam floating on top.

"The lamb was brought from the frontier, they say it's delicious, has a clear fragrance, and it smells okay now!"

Zheng Zheng Shusen placed the purple copper pot on the case, walked over to look at the lamb soup in the pot, and smelled the fragrance.

"It really is!"

Zheng Zheng Shusen smiled and said: "It really has the same fragrance as the sheep from the Mongolian land."

Don't know what the principle is, they all say sheep on the grassland are raised on green grass, and the meat carries the fragrance of green grass.

Li Li Xuewu really wanted to try, if it were raised on chocolate, would the meat taste like chocolate.

He took three bowls from the cupboard, Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Three ways to drink lamb soup, today we can only drink two."

As he spoke, he scooped three spoons of lamb soup from the boiling pot and put them in the bowls.

First handed a bowl to Zheng Zheng Shusen, then handed a bowl to godmother, and then held a bowl himself and took a sip.

"Hey! It really has the fragrance of lamb!"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "This clear soup taste is really the best one."

"You are also a good eater, haha!"

Zheng Zheng Shusen smiled and said to Li Li Xuewu, then put a little onion cut by his wife into the three bowls, signaling Li Li Xuewu that he could fill the soup.

"Okay! The second way to drink!"

"Hehe."

Wang Wang Shuhua also saw her godson acting weird and couldn't help but laugh.

"Vegetables are cut, let's move to the room after drinking."

The three held the bowls and drank the second way of lamb soup.

Li Li Xuewu said the third way couldn't be drunk because the third way needs to be paired with wild chive flowers grown on the grassland.

Where to find chive flowers now, so let's drink two ways first.

It's not polite to say, this is enough to be awesome.

Li Li Xuewu helped his godfather, added the lamb soup and lamb meat in the pot to the purple copper pot, and used fire tongs to clamp the charcoal fire from the furnace into the fire door below.

"Mission accomplished, let's go!"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and carried the hot pot to the room, followed by his godfather and godmother carrying the vegetable codes.

Because it's early spring, there's actually nothing in the vegetable market, and the little bit from the greenhouse was sold out long ago.

But Li Li Xuewu is not picky, cabbage, frozen tofu, wood ear, winter melon, winter mushroom, vermicelli, godmother also prepared several kinds.

"Rare gathering today, let's drink a little."

Zheng Zheng Shusen took Li Li Xuewu's words again, smiling and taking a bottle of wine from the cupboard under his wife's gaze.

"Drink a little."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said to his godmother: "Just a little bit, today is a special day, and it's Women's Day, you drink a little too."

Persuaded by his godson, Wang Wang Shuhua smiled and took the wine poured by Li Li Xuewu.

"Eat more meat, eat more vegetables, drink less wine."

"Cheers!"

Li Li Xuewu didn't mention anything about today at his godmother's house, at the wine table, at the dinner table, only talked about naughty things when he was young, and talked about things at his own home.

Just pretend today's morning didn't happen, and didn't want to bring the sadness in work home.

All three are senior cadres in their respective units, and today they have seen a particularly sad side, gathering together, just wanting to give their family their most reassuring side.

The lamb is especially delicious, the vegetables are also delicious, and the godfather's wine is also good.

Li Li Xuewu didn't stay long, finished the meal, and accompanied the two to drink a cup of tea.

Godmother saw the cloth she gave and only said she didn't know how to live, how could she spend money so messily.

Wanted to help godmother tidy up, but was pushed out the door by godmother.

Because she knew Li Li Xuewu had to go to Gu Ning's side in the evening, Wang Wang Shuhua, like Liu Yin, exhorted Li Li Xuewu not to mess around.

Li Li Xuewu smiled and went out the door, and rarely drove the car with wine breath towards Haiyuncang.

Spring always seems to break into your courtyard, living room, and kitchen inadvertently.

"Fu Zhidong, it's very cold, don't be outside."

"Mom, grass."

Fu Zhidong pinched a piece of green with his fingers and ran into the living room, handing it to his mother to see like a treasure.

Zhou Wang Yamei smiled and tapped her son's little head and scolded: "Master Yang Er at you, covered in dirt again."

"Hee hee~"

Fu Zhidong slept at Gu's house with his mother last night, because he was afraid of the earthquake, so everyone waited in the living room all night.

When Fu Zhidong woke up this morning, the earthquake had passed, so he didn't know what happened today.

Gu Ning looked at Fu Zhidong's innocent smiling face, put down the book in her hand, and also followed with a smile.

"When will Uncle come?"

Fu Zhidong looked at Gu Ning, raised his little head, and looked at his mother.

Zhou Wang Yamei shook her son's little hand in the trash basket and said: "Uncle will come when you wash your little hands clean."

"Hee hee."

Fu Zhidong smiled and patted his little hands, and ran to the bathroom.

Zhou Wang Yamei still has principles in bringing up children; the four-year-old Fu Zhidong already has his basic life ability.

"Should I prepare some food?"

Zhou Wang Yamei cleaned the dirt on the ground with a broom, glanced outside the door, and asked Gu Ning.

Gu Ning shook her head gently and said: "He has something to do tonight."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Wang Yamei and said: "I'll tell him."

"... Good."

Zhou Wang Yamei hesitated and smiled unnaturally.

Gu Ning pursed her lips and picked up the book she was reading before.

But before she found the paragraph she was reading before, the sound of a car sounded outside the door.

"It's Uncle!"

Fu Zhidong shook his little hands and ran out, standing on the steps at the door looking at the gate.

Zhou Wang Yamei, standing in the living room, glanced at Gu Ning and waited at the door.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"Eaten."

Zhou Wang Yamei watched Li Li Xuewu open all the gates and drove the car into the courtyard.

She and Gu Ning, who walked out, looked at this Willys and didn't know what was going on.

Li Li Xuewu stopped the car, turned off the engine, and moved a basket down from the car.

"It's meat!"

Fu Zhidong stood at the door, holding the small pistol Li Li Xuewu gave him, looking at the meat in the bamboo basket box with surprise.

"Hehe, brought from the frontier."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaling Zhou Wang Yamei not to take over.

"It hasn't thawed yet, there's blood water."

Reminded, Li Li Xuewu carried the basket and went to the kitchen.

When he returned to the courtyard again, he saw Zhou Wang Yamei standing by the car looking at the back trunk in a daze.

"The luggage from the Steel City has been tidied up for you."

Li Li Xuewu moved the last luggage box down from the back trunk and said as he walked to the living room: "The house over there is sealed, and it will be opened when things are resolved."

"Good."

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Li Li Xuewu with gratitude and touched the little face of her son standing beside her.

Fu Zhidong looked up at his mother; he felt his mother's hand was very cold.

But now looking at his mother's face, there was a smile.

"I don't know what they tidied up, it's quite heavy."

Li Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said: "A group of men, maybe not so careful, you can tidy it up yourself in a while."

"It's already very good to be able to bring it over."

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Li Li Xuewu with gratitude and said: "I'll help you."

"No need."

Li Li Xuewu carried the last two luggage boxes into the living room.

Gu Ning stood at the door, always wanting to talk to Li Li Xuewu, but didn't know how to speak.

Thinking of the things "sealed" in that box, she couldn't help but blush.

Zhou Wang Yamei walked into the living room, and seeing Gu Ning didn't move, she poured tea for Li Li Xuewu.

"Scared?"

Li Li Xuewu took the teacup, walked closer, looked at Gu Ning, and asked with a smile: "Or angry?"

"No..."

Gu Ning glanced at Li Li Xuewu; how could this person be so embarrassed to ask, didn't he know what he did?

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Ning who walked back to the sofa position, and sent a questioning look to Zhou Wang Yamei.

Zhou Wang Yamei shook her head slightly, indicating she didn't know.

Oh my, this is troublesome.

Li Li Xuewu smiled, held the teacup, and sat in the single sofa position.

"Sister Han called, couldn't find you."

After Li Li Xuewu sat down, Gu Ning said softly while holding the teacup: "Said to let you go to eat tomorrow night."

"I know."

Li Li Xuewu nodded and explained: "Should be work matters, our new Deputy Secretary was transferred from the Iron and Steel Institute."

"Oh."

Gu Ning responded lightly, her expression unchanged.

But Zhou Wang Yamei knew that Gu Ning's heart had fluctuations, which could be seen from the slight movement of the corners of her mouth.

Fu Fu Haibo never said such explanatory words.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Zhou Wang Yamei also felt it was interesting; if they were married, what would it be like?

"I've proofread the manuscript."

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "You look at it again, and it can be officially submitted for review."

"Good."

Li Li Xuewu nodded, took the document handed over by Zhou Wang Yamei, and put it by his hand, saying: "Hard work."

From the time Li Li Xuewu entered the door, said a sentence to Gu Ning, and said a sentence to Zhou Wang Yamei, the living room became quiet.

Whether it was Li Li Xuewu or Gu Ning, or Zhou Wang Yamei, they could all feel the awkward atmosphere spreading in the air.

It wasn't this awkward in the Steel City for those few days, but I don't know why, the atmosphere was a bit stiff now.

"Uncle."

Fu Zhidong looked at Gu Ning, seeing Gu Aunt didn't speak, Mom didn't speak, and Uncle didn't speak, so he could only speak himself.

"What's wrong?"

Li Li Xuewu put down the teacup and turned to look at Fu Zhidong standing by the sofa.

Fu Zhidong picked his fingers and asked hesitantly: "I like the children in the kindergarten... can I go to school?"

"Of course!"

Looking at the timid Fu Zhidong, Li Li Xuewu patted his head and looked at Zhou Wang Yamei with apology.

Then he pulled Fu Zhidong's little hand and smiled: "Now, Uncle will find you a school now."

"Thank you, Uncle~"

Fu Zhidong looked at Li Li Xuewu and lowered his head shyly.

Li Li Xuewu patted Fu Zhidong's little shoulder, supported the phone on the small table beside the sofa, and said while thinking: "Hmm, about going to school, who should I look for?"

There is a kindergarten here in Haiyuncang, and there is also a primary school, but Li Li Xuewu really doesn't know anyone in the education system here.

If you want to go to a university or something, Li Li Xuewu is really not afraid of finding connections.

Big brother and sister-in-law are both university teachers, Han Han Shimu is a university director, and there is a cheap uncle who is a principal!

But he was really embarrassed by this kindergarten!

Never handled such a "big" thing!

The kindergarten at this time is divided by district and slice; it's really not easy to handle if you don't live here.

Although the house is Li Li Xuewu's, this child is not his.

The two have no relationship, so it's impossible to borrow a household registration.

If Zhou Wang Yamei didn't live here, it would be easy to handle; living in the Rolling Mill, the kindergarten near the Rolling Mill would be easy for Li Li Xuewu to speak, or the kindergarten in Gu Ning's courtyard would be no problem.

The key is that these two places are too far, and it's really inconvenient to go to kindergarten.

"Hmm, the debt has a head, the debt has a master, I know who to look for!"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and patted Fu Zhidong's little shoulder, picked up the phone and asked for the phone number of the Foreign Affairs Department family building.

Zhou Wang Yamei saw Li Li Xuewu thinking it was difficult, and thought the matter was very difficult to handle; just now she wanted to pull her son to comfort him and temporarily not go to kindergarten.

But now looking at Li Li Xuewu's raised eyebrows and bad smile, she didn't know what her mood was.

Gu Ning looked at Li Li Xuewu's appearance and also pulled the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh, but was afraid Li Li Xuewu would be embarrassed, so she held it back.

"Hello?"

"Hehe, it's me Li Li Xuewu!"

"Oh? Deputy Division Chief Li? Very unexpected! Are you going to pay back the money?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Li Xuewu held the phone and looked at Gu Ning, gave a few dry laughs, and threatened: "Don't talk nonsense, how could I owe others money!"

The phone at this time doesn't actually need to be held to the ear, because the sound is not much smaller than the later speakers.

At this time, Zhou Wang Yamei's face was full of astonishment, while Gu Ning lowered her head, not letting Li Li Xuewu see her laughing.

"Hiss! You are really not a human!"

Ji Wang Weidong on the other end of the phone looked at his sister who walked over, waved his hand, signaling not to listen to his dirty words.

And Ji Ji Yuxiu was very obedient and covered her ears, but her eyes were still staring at her brother.

Ji Wang Weidong didn't care about his sister's self-deception, chasing debt was urgent now.

"Speak! When will you pay back the money you owe me!"

"Debt repayment is justified."

Li Li Xuewu pulled a word, but then emphasized: "If you say I owe you money, do you have an IOU? Do you have a loan note?"

"You!"

Ji Wang Weidong held the phone and looked at his sister, then said: "If you say so, then we are broken, and my sister and your brother are also broken!"

"Brother! This is your business! Can't sacrifice... um... what are you doing, brother!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Li Xuewu held the phone and listened to the chaos there, couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, Ji Wang Weidong's voice came: "Can't do it, work can't be done, there's a traitor at home!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "This is called mastering core technology, winning thousands of miles away!"

"Blow it!"

Ji Wang Weidong looked at the time and asked: "It's not about paying back money, why are you looking for me at this time? No time to go out and play!"

"There is something."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Fu Zhidong with a smile and said: "A friend's child wants to go to kindergarten..."

"Li Li Xuewu, do you damn think I'm easy to bully!"

Ji Wang Weidong held the phone excitedly and said: "I damn helped you settle the frontier matter, and the money hasn't been given yet!!!"

"Ah! Even if you don't want to give it, you don't have to be so shabby to me! Use kindergarten matters to let me handle it! Do you damn think I am what! Do you think the Investigation Department is what! Any work is accepted?!"

Li Li Xuewu frowned and smiled bitterly, moving the receiver away; this guy's voice was ear-shaking.

However... it seems it's not to blame him, it's a bit too much!

"That..."

Li Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "As long as this matter is settled, the money will arrive immediately, speaking counts!"

"I believe you a ghost!"

"Hey!..."

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

Li Li Xuewu held the phone and listened; this grandson hung up.

"Hehe."

Embarrassed, he looked at Zhou Wang Yamei, rubbed his face, and smiled: "It's okay, friend! Really a friend!"

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Li Li Xuewu's embarrassed expression and pulled the corners of her mouth; she really couldn't think of any friend who was so... so righteous!

"If it's really inconvenient, forget it."

"Mom~"

Fu Zhidong looked at his mother who was speaking, a bit aggrieved.

Zhou Wang Yamei touched her son's little face and smiled: "Mom will take you to plant flowers at home, and teach you to read too."

Fu Zhidong looked at his mother, then at Li Li Xuewu, really reluctant to part with the bustle of the kindergarten.

"Hehe."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning with a dry laugh; Gu Ning was pursing her lips wanting to laugh, but was afraid Li Li Xuewu would be embarrassed, so she held it back.

"This bastard!"

Li Li Xuewu picked up the phone and called again.

"Hello..."

This time, before Ji Wang Weidong could speak, Li Li Xuewu spoke first: "Kindergarten, Beimen Cang's kindergarten."

"Li Li Xuewu...!"

"It's true, it's indeed this matter."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "The child lives here with me, so he has to go to kindergarten near my house."

"Really?"

"Hey!"

Li Li Xuewu changed hands to hold the phone, put the receiver to Fu Zhidong's ear, and said: "Call Uncle Ji."

Fu Zhidong saw Uncle put the phone over, didn't feel anything, and knew it was for him to speak.

There was a phone at home before, and he had used it.

But hearing the uncle let him call... this... is there really such an uncle? 【447-250

Just then, Fu Fu Zhidong said with a face full of embarrassment and hesitation: "Chicken? Uncle?"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Ji Wang Weidong had already turned to stone; this was a group effort to bully someone, damn it!

"Hehe."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Fu Fu Zhidong, who was being pulled away by his mother for a lecture, and chuckled: "You see, he really is just a child; I didn't lie to you."

Ji Wang Weidong looked at his younger sister sitting to the side and waved his hand, signaling her not to listen to his phone call.

But Ji Ji Yuxiu just loved listening to her brother and Li Li Xuewu chat and talk nonsense like this.

"That's not right, what does me going to kindergarten have to do with me? I'm not the kindergarten principal!"

"Didn't you give me this house~"

"Li Li Xuewu!"

Hearing Li Li Xuewu's infuriating words, Ji Wang Weidong got angry again.

This bastard really isn't a decent person; every sentence poked at his lungs.

"If I give you a house, do I have to take care of the kindergarten too?"

Ji Wang Weidong held the phone and gritted his teeth, saying: "Does that mean I have to take care of all the elementary schools, middle schools, and universities in the future too?!"

"Actually, university isn't necessary."

Li Li Xuewu said with a smile: "You also know that my brother and sister-in-law are both university professors... Hey!"

Seeing that Ji Wang Weidong had gone silent again, Li Li Xuewu hurriedly shouted into the phone: "Ji Wang Weidong, if you dare hang up the phone, you know the consequences!"

"Damn you, Li Li Xuewu! Didn't you say you forgot!"

"Hey! I really did lose my memory."

Li Li Xuewu held the phone and looked at the two people covering their mouths and giggling, laughing: "But you also know, this... this, this memory, it comes and goes~"

"Fine, Beimen Warehouse, right!"

Ji Wang Weidong said through gritted teeth: "On Monday, just send him to school; just say I'm the one who sent him!"

"Tha..."

Li Li Xuewu just wanted to say thank you, but the person on the other end had already hung up.

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Li Li Xuewu's awkward expression and said apologetically: "If it's really inconvenient, then forget it."

"It's fine, we're really good friends."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand, picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, saying: "He has a wide range of business and knows many people; this isn't a big deal for him."

Seeing that Li Li Xuewu was firm, Zhou Wang Yamei didn't say anything more and looked at her son tenderly.

At this moment, Fu Fu Zhidong also understood Li Li Xuewu's meaning and knew he could go to kindergarten again, so he revealed a smile.

Gu Ning looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "If the money you owe isn't enough, I have some here."

"What money?"

Li Li Xuewu held his teacup and looked at Gu Ning with a face full of confusion, raising an eyebrow.

Gu Ning looked at Li Li Xuewu helplessly and said: "It's never good to default on a debt."

"When have I ever defaulted on a debt?"

Li Li Xuewu said very affirmatively: "Am I the kind of person who lacks money? I don't even remember anything about a thousand yuan."

Gu Ning was just giving a reminder; seeing Li Li Xuewu's expression now, she knew this bad person had his own ideas, so she didn't say anything more.

Zhou Wang Yamei smiled and said to her son: "It's time to go upstairs and sleep; you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Having resolved the matter that had been weighing on his mind, Fu Fu Zhidong readily agreed to his mother's words.

He turned his head and said to Li Li Xuewu: "Goodbye, Uncle."

"Goodbye."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand with a smile, watched the mother and son go upstairs, and then said to Gu Ning: "What's wrong? Why are you ignoring me?"

"Nothing..."

Gu Ning looked at Li Li Xuewu, hesitating, not knowing if she should ask.

She really wanted to ask Li Li Xuewu why he sent that kind of thing.

But looking at Li Li Xuewu's clear, confused expression now... is it something couples should send...

She was a bit confused now too.

"You can tell me anything."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning very seriously and said: "Isn't the key to two people being together mutual trust?"

"Mm."

Gu Ning nodded and said softly: "There really is nothing."

Li Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes, nodded, pursed his lips, and said: "That's good."

As he spoke, he stood up and said to Gu Ning: "I ate at Godmother's place tonight; both Mom and Godmother said I shouldn't stay here too long."

Gu Ning naturally understood Li Li Xuewu's meaning and smiled, pursing her lips.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and put on his gloves, saying as he walked out: "I'll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and we'll go to Teacher Han's house for a meal."

"Hey!"

Just as the two reached the steps at the entrance, Gu Ning called out to Li Li Xuewu.

She looked behind her, then said to Li Li Xuewu: "She wants to go see that Fu..."

"She told you?"

Li Li Xuewu frowned and interrupted Gu Ning, looking at Gu Ning's embarrassed expression as she glanced upstairs.

"Yes."

Gu Ning looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "If it's convenient."

"It's convenient, tomorrow morning."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said: "If there's anything in the future, you can have her tell me directly."

"I'm the one who offered to help say it."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu turn around, Gu Ning hurriedly explained.

"I know."

Li Li Xuewu turned back, looked at Gu Ning's face, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Do you like the gift I gave you?"

"..."

Gu Ning stared at Li Li Xuewu.

This person is doing it on purpose!

"Drive slowly on the way back."

After saying this, Gu Ning turned and went back into the room, her face like red cloth.

Li Li Xuewu tilted his head, unable to understand what was going on.

Could it be that there was a problem with the gift?

Didn't like the books?

Didn't like the perfume?

Didn't like the chocolate?

Or does she just not like me, damn it?

Shaking his head, Li Li Xuewu gave a bitter smile, sighing in his heart that a woman's heart is truly a needle at the bottom of the sea, impossible to fathom.

He got in the car, started the engine, drove the car out of the courtyard, got out again to close the gate, and only then drove away.

It was only after Li Li Xuewu left that Gu Ning went into the courtyard to lock the gate.

"He left?"

"Yes."

Just as Gu Ning walked into the courtyard, she saw Zhou Wang Yamei come out of the living room, standing at the entrance looking at her.

She looked up and responded, paused her steps, and continued walking into the house.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Gu Ning apologetically, her face full of regret.

"No need to be polite."

Li Li Xuewu sometimes feels that Gu Ning is quite cold, but when Gu Ning is with him, she smiles more than anyone else.

The Gu Ning at this moment is the normal Gu Ning; when answering questions, she is always polite but also carries a sense of indifference.

Zhou Wang Yamei knows what's going on with Gu Ning and knows she isn't intentionally targeting her.

So she nodded at Gu Ning, and the two entered the living room.

Having lived together for a few days, they were familiar with each other.

Zhou Wang Yamei went to the kitchen to tidy up the stove, while Gu Ning walked back to the sofa and picked up the book she hadn't finished reading.

It seemed to always be so calm and peaceful.

"Back?"

"Yes."

Li Li Xuewu greeted Xilin with a smile, looked at the few people standing in the courtyard, and asked: "It's pitch black, why aren't you back in your rooms?"

At this moment, Lao Biaozi, Seeing Sha Zhu, Pa Pa Zile, and Seeing Gelin were standing in the courtyard, while the others were standing in a circle.

It was Li Li Xuewu's car that drove in; someone opened the gate, dodged the car, and only then did the standing positions at the scene change.

When Li Li Xuewu drove in, he saw everyone was there; now he parked the car, walked over, and asked.

"Uncle Biao and Uncle Sha are going to wrestle with the two new uncles!"

Banggeng was also there, standing in the crowd with a flashlight.

Seeing Li Li Xuewu ask, he replied excitedly.

He really liked watching people wrestle; he still remembered how much it hurt when he was thrown last time.

Seeing others wrestling now, he wished he could go up and try a few moves himself.

"Is that so!"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Lao Biaozi and Seeing Sha Zhu, who were standing in the center of the field, smiling somewhat unnaturally.

"Are you done wrestling?"

"Not yet."

Old Lao Biaozi smiled and said: "Just playing around."

"Then play on!"

Li Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow, nodded, took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it, looking like he was waiting to watch the fun.

"Not playing, not playing, hehe."

Old Lao Biaozi secretly reached out and pulled Pa Pa Zile, winking at him.

Pa Pa Zile also tilted his head and nodded at Li Li Xuewu.

Seeing Sha Zhu just giggled foolishly, and only the big guy Seeing Gelin kept his head down.

"If you're not playing, go inside; it's freezing."

Li Li Xuewu scanned the four of them, let them hang for a while, and only then gave the order.

"Hey, hey!"

Old Lao Biaozi was the first to nod in agreement upon hearing Li Li Xuewu's words, turning and walking into the courtyard.

Seeing Sha Zhu followed into the courtyard with a mindless laugh, and only the big guy Seeing Gelin lagged behind.

After those watching the fun followed into the courtyard, Seeing Gelin said to Li Li Xuewu: "Fighting is wrong."

"Mm-hmm."

Li Li Xuewu puffed on his cigarette, squinting his eyes as he looked at Seeing Gelin.

"Fighting is indeed wrong."

First, he affirmed Seeing Gelin's words, then Li Li Xuewu patted the big guy's shoulder and asked: "If they hit you, it's even more wrong, so do you think the person who is wrong should be hit or not?"

"Mm..."

Seeing Gelin thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Should be hit!"

"Hey, that's right."

Li Li Xuewu patted the big guy's back, saying as he walked into the courtyard: "If someone bullies you, you hit him!"

"Hit him!"

"Right, hit him hard!"

Li Li Xuewu repeated the big guy's simple, harsh words and walked into the outer courtyard with a smile.

Xilin waited at the entrance of the outer courtyard for Li Li Xuewu to enter, then explained with a smile: "Lao Biaozi wanted to teach Seeing Gelin how to fight, but Pa Pa Zile wouldn't let him. Lao Biaozi said Pa Pa Zile looked down on his kung fu and even called He He Yuzhu over to demonstrate."

"Don't bother with him, he's crazy."

Li Li Xuewu pushed the big guy into the room, but he didn't go in himself.

They were all men; there was no need to be too serious about many issues. It was just verbal banter; if you took it seriously, it would become a conflict.

Xilin smiled and said: "It's a good thing you came back in time; we couldn't persuade them at all."

Li Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "He's just loud; he has no real ability and can't hurt Seeing Gelin and the others."

"I'm afraid Seeing Gelin will hurt them."

Xilin looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "Seeing Gelin has killed people."

"Really?"

Li Li Xuewu wasn't very surprised to hear this news, merely frowning slightly.

What's so surprising about having killed people? Not to mention himself, even the smiling Pa Pa Zile had lives on his hands.

"Mm."

Xilin nodded and said: "Old Old Baduo often takes Seeing Gelin across the border to the north; no one dares to rob their car, and no one dares to touch them."

Li Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow, not expecting such a gentle old man to be so wild.

"Seeing Gelin's marksmanship is very accurate, and he can fight well."

Xilin looked at Li Li Xuewu as she walked back: "That's why I said you came back in time."

Li Li Xuewu turned his head to look at the door of the inverted room, hesitating as he said: "Then should I take back what I just said to him?"

"Hahaha~"

Xilin looked at Li Li Xuewu and chuckled: "Seeing Gelin isn't stupid; he can tell good from bad."

"Hiss~"

Li Li Xuewu grimaced, only feeling a toothache.

Master Yang Er at the kind of people he's recruited into his Bai Bai Xiyuan; it's become a research institute for strange doctors.

As the two walked into the front courtyard, they saw his father standing in the courtyard.

"Dad."

"Mm."

Li Shun looked at Xilin, responded, and didn't speak.

Xilin greeted Li Shun with a smile and went to the middle courtyard.

"How is the child?"

Li Li Xuewu knew his father had something to say to him, so he stopped his steps, waiting for Xilin to walk ahead.

"Nothing."

Although Li Shun wouldn't dare say his medical skills could bring the dead back to life or regrow bones, they were, after all, family-inherited medical skills.

Don't underestimate the traditional Chinese medicine in the capital; if you could open a clinic in the capital and couldn't hold your ground, would you still be standing?

Since his father said it was nothing, it was truly nothing.

Li Li Xuewu glanced at his home, where the lights were already out; they didn't usually sleep this early, so it seemed it was because of his daughter.

Seeing that the courtyard was quiet, Li Shun frowned and asked his son in a low voice: "What's the background of these people?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Li Xuewu didn't know why his father was asking this, and opened his mouth to explain the commotion in the Bai Bai Xiyuan just now.

"They aren't one family!"

Li Shun frowned as he looked at his son, then carefully glanced around, very afraid that someone might hear.

"Hehe, they weren't one family to begin with."

Li Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "Seeing Gelin and Xilin are cousins with Pa Pa Zile; how could they be one family?"

"Are you fooling your father?"

Li Shun looked at his son with a dark face and said: "The one who just passed by..."

When mentioning Xilin, Li Shun hesitated, still not saying it out loud, but instead wrung his hands and asked: "How do you plan to settle them?"

"Dad."

Li Li Xuewu stepped closer and asked softly: "Has something happened?"

"You tell me how you plan to settle them first."

Li Shun pointed his finger, telling Li Li Xuewu to explain clearly.

Li Li Xuewu frowned and said in a low voice: "Pa Pa Zile was transferred to the branch bureau; it's a normal transfer."

"What about the others?"

"Pa Pa Zile's sister and Xilin are helping out in the Bai Bai Xiyuan for the time being."

Li Li Xuewu looked at his father and said: "Seeing Gelin is learning carpentry from my grandfather."

Li Shun frowned, glanced at the middle courtyard, and said: "You should have a count in your own heart; you're a person who's about to get married."

"Dad!"

Li Li Xuewu looked at his father, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know how to explain it anymore.

"It's really not what you think!"

Li Shun frowned, squinted his eyes, tilted his head slightly, looked at his son and said: "It better not be; you aren't an eighteen or nineteen-year-old child anymore, you should be sensible."

"Yes, Dad."

Li Li Xuewu knew that explaining too much would be useless, so he just hurriedly agreed.

Li Shun sized his son up again, then turned and entered the house.

Li Li Xuewu knew that his father waiting here must have been arranged by his mother to see when he returned, but he hadn't expected his father to lecture him again.

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Li Xuewu walked into the middle courtyard.

Hey! That's not right... eighteen or nineteen years old... how old am I this year?

At this moment, the courtyard was bright; some families were busy tidying up their belongings in the courtyard overnight.

Although tomorrow was said to be Sunday, it was already fully scheduled, and this earthquake had caused more trouble.

The roof tiles needed to be secured and repaired, the broken bricks in the courtyard needed to be collected, the broken glass needed to be replaced, and the naughty children needed to be beaten.

At this moment, Qin Qin Huairu was beating her child.

"I told you not to run around, but you won't listen, will you!"

Qin Qin Huairu beating the child made Jia Jia Zhangshi's heart ache terribly.

At this moment, she stood in the room, frowning, not daring to interfere and not daring to persuade.

Just this morning, because she hadn't watched the child well, Xiaodang was injured; seeing her grandson being beaten now, it was as if she were being beaten herself.
