Chapter 455: It Might Be a Misunderstanding

"Do it well, there is more."

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at Master Dou's hand, signaling that it was okay.

Dou Yaozu took back his hand, lit a cigarette for himself, and said while smoking, "Thank you for your care. My old brothers had a fat year this year."

"Hey, it's because you are honest that I am willing to get along with you."

Li Xuewu looked at Master Dou and said, "But even if you eat well, you can't talk too much."

"Understand, understand."

Dou Yaozu nodded hurriedly and said in a low voice, "No one knows about the things inside. I am handling it all by myself."

"Hmm, be better to everyone."

Li Xuewu looked at Dou Yaozu and said, "Wealth is always wealth. Talents can not only create wealth but also create infinite possibilities."

"Understand."

Dou Yaozu looked at Li Xuewu and said, "As long as you say it, I will do it. Whatever you say, I will do."

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu smiled, took a puff of his cigarette, patted Dou Yaozu's arm, and said, "Take your time, learn the craft of building houses."

"Buildings?"

Master Dou looked at Li Xuewu with wide eyes and said, "We can all build two-story and three-story buildings."

"At least six stories."

Li Xuewu looked at Master Dou and said, "Big buildings, big structures, the brick-concrete kind."

"This..."

Dou Yaozu looked at Li Xuewu and said, "We haven't learned how to build such big buildings..."

"I just want you to learn~"

Li Xuewu smiled and looked into the distance, pointing at several big buildings and said, "Who knew how to build in our country before? Haven't we learned it now? Everything is done by people."

"That's good, I will learn."

Dou Yaozu knew that Li Xuewu wouldn't shoot without a target. If he asked him to learn architecture, there must be a need.

"Work is never finished."

Li Xuewu signaled Sha Qizhi to prepare the car, while saying to Master Dou, "You must learn to cultivate talents, cultivate subordinates, and everyone should learn together."

"I know."

Seeing that Li Xuewu was about to leave, Dou Yaozu hurriedly said, "I will have people go to your east courtyard to start construction this afternoon."

"You decide."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, held onto the car door, got into the car, waved to Master Dou, and left.

Master Dou watched the jeep go, then turned around, took his bicycle, and rode toward Li Xuewu's house.

They were all in the same street, so it really wasn't far.

After turning into the alley, he saw that the scheduled construction site was already lively.

"You're finally here, come and see!"

His subordinates saw Master Dou come in and waved, saying, "Look at how to handle these messy things?"

"Whose are they?"

Dou Yaozu walked into the east courtyard and looked. He had seen them when he came to survey the site earlier, but didn't take them seriously at the time.

He thought they were all living in the same courtyard, and knowing that houses were going to be built here, who would be so tactless.

But now looking at this pile of junk, Master Dou was also in a difficult position.

"I don't know. We found them when we came in to clean up, and we asked the gatekeeper, but no one was in charge."

Dou Yaozu looked, and there was nothing good, so he turned around and went to the west courtyard.

"Yo, you're busy!"

Dou Yaozu knew the grandfather, and at this moment, seeing several people in the courtyard cleaning up junk, he greeted them.

"You're here."

The grandfather saw Master Dou come, stood up, and responded.

"Just met with Li Chu."

Dou Yaozu smiled and explained, then signaled to the east courtyard and said, "I brought workers to the site, ready to clean up the foundation."

"Yes."

The grandfather walked to the gate of the west courtyard and looked, saying, "I just came back too, and haven't looked at that courtyard carefully."

"Okay, take a look."

Master Dou took the grandfather to walk over here, signaled to those messy things, and said, "Take a look at how to deal with this pile of things?"

"Whose is this?"

The grandfather didn't recognize it either, and was frowning and looking at it.

"Maybe it's the Third Master's family's."

At this moment, Old Biaozi entered the courtyard, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the pile of junk, turned around, and said while walking, "I'll go ask for you."

The grandfather looked at Biaozi's back and exhorted, "Speak well~"

"I know."

Biaozi responded, entered the hanging flower gate, and happened to see the Third Master sitting next to the third gate.

"Yo, Third Master, are you sunning your face here?"

"How are you talking, you kid!"

Yan Fugui squinted his eyes to avoid the sun and looked. Seeing it was Old Biaozi from the outer courtyard standing in front of him with a grin.

"You came for the junk in the east courtyard, right?"

"You know?"

Old Biaozi smiled and said, "My grandfather and the others are in a difficult position. Take a look at how to deal with it?"

Yan Fugui looked in the direction of the east courtyard and sighed.

He didn't want to think about it, but thinking of this house, he still felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

Originally, half of this house belonged to his family. Even if the eldest son had separated, wasn't he also his son?

Now it's good, people are building houses vigorously, and it has nothing to do with him.

He thought it was beautiful, how could it have nothing to do with him? He still had to make room for others.

"Are you cleaning it up yourself? Or should I help you pick it up and throw it all away?"

"Throw it away so you can pick it back up, right?"

Yan Fugui looked at Old Biaozi with his eyes closed, and before Old Biaozi could be angered by his own words, he said first, "Sell it to you."

"Yo, I can't afford it."

Old Biaozi's mouth was also damaging. At this moment, looking at the Third Master, he smiled and said, "Don't have anything valuable in your pile of treasures. Selling it to us would be a waste."

"If you want to pull, go make a pot of tea."

Yan Fugui was in a good mood and could even tease, "Let's pull it for an afternoon, I also have a business."

"You really dare to think!"

Old Biaozi smiled. He also loved to tease. Yan Jiefang was saved by him. Could the Third Master make things difficult for him?

So he took the initiative to say he came to discuss it, just to persuade the Third Master to find a place to move the junk.

But he never expected that the Third Master would treat it like a treasure and want to sell it.

"How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"You still collect by the pile?"

Yan Fugui waved his hand and said, "Go, you look at it. Iron is iron, material is material, whatever it is, just give me whatever you sell it for."

"Really?"

Old Biaozi didn't quite believe that the Third Master would be so generous and open-minded. Doesn't he have to go to the scene to watch? Doesn't he have to haggle?

Seeming to see what Old Biaozi was thinking, Yan Fugui said at this moment, "The Third Master is a useless person now, you wouldn't bully the Third Master, would you?"

"You, the person is useless."

Old Biaozi took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, flicked it away, looked at the Third Master, and said, "But this heart has become more!"

"I'll take it as you praising me~ Hmph hmph~"

Ever since Yan Fugui controlled his son, he seemed to have found the key to opening the world.

The things he had always insisted on seemed to be easier to obtain, and even get more, by operating and thinking in reverse.

"Okay, let's consider the trading agreement reached between us."

Old Biaozi looked at the Third Master's dying appearance and turned to leave with a smile.

He didn't pay attention to the Third Master, who was sitting on the chair pretending to be dead but playing tricks.

The workers got Old Biaozi's order, and naturally had a direction to work. No matter what that pile of junk was, they moved it directly to the west courtyard.

It was easy to walk, from the east courtyard gate, to the west courtyard, in a straight line.

After working for a while, a big pile was piled up.

The broken bricks and tiles in the east courtyard were all within the scope of cleaning, and the old soil was also transported out through a temporary door opened in the east courtyard wall.

Yu Li even came to see it specially. Seeing that her house finally started construction, tears fell down for some reason.

"Who moved my things!"

Yu Li was just moved, but was startled by a sudden shout.

Turning around, it was Yan Jiefang who was brought in by Yan Jiecheng on a cart from the gate, followed by his mother and Yan Jiecheng's wife.

The one shouting was Yan Jiefang. At this moment, his leg was in a cast, sitting in the back seat, staring at Yu Li.

"What are you shouting about!"

Old Biaozi heard the movement and walked in from the west courtyard, still holding an iron rod for poking junk in his hand.

Seeing Old Biaozi come over, Yan Jiefang's fierce expression vanished instantly, and he looked at Old Biaozi... and the iron rod in Old Biaozi's hand with some timidity.

Old Biaozi walked over with a bad expression and tapped the cast on Yan Jiefang's leg with the iron rod, making a "clack clack" sound.

"Just this?"

Old Biaozi looked at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng, the brothers, and said, "It's just this? It's in the way~"

"That's my family's stuff!"

Yan Jiefang said something with a fierce look, but was poked by his mother.

"Biaozi, we all live in the same courtyard."

The Third Mother looked at Old Biaozi and said, "You can't just move my family's things without saying a word just because you are building a house, right?"

"Third Mother, why don't you go home and ask my Third Master?"

Old Biaozi smiled and said, "I thought your family was in charge by my grandfather. Isn't this a misunderstanding? I will tell the neighbors later that you are in charge of your family."

"Go!"

The Third Mother pushed Yan Jiecheng, signaling him not to be aggressive with these low-life people, and hurry home.

Since Old Biaozi said this, he must have talked to the old man at home.

So at this moment, she stopped her son who was baring his teeth and walked home.

Old Biaozi smiled and looked at Yan Jiecheng, who had a fierce expression. This kid had become arrogant on the mountain.

When he saw his wife Comrade Ge Shuqin walk past, he also raised his eyebrows badly.

Comrade Ge Shuqin didn't pay attention to him and walked into the courtyard with a twist of her body.

She saw how Yan Jiecheng looked at his ex-wife, and could also see that the Yan brothers were both cowards who didn't dare to confront this Biaozi at all.

"Yu Jie, don't pay attention to them."

Old Biaozi turned around, smiled and said to Yu Li, and walked into the east courtyard to watch the demolition.

Yu Li nodded and walked back.

She wasn't very afraid. She had gotten used to it these days. As long as she didn't move out of this courtyard, it was inevitable to see each other.

Based on the current situation, she couldn't leave even more. Wouldn't that be losing her heart and being afraid of their family?

She just wanted to be in this courtyard, live well, live better than their family, and make their family a joke.

Yan Jiecheng didn't know what Yu Li was thinking. He just knew that he might be a joke now.

What was that look Old Biaozi gave him just now, and what did it mean to look at his head?!!

Don't ask, he doesn't know!!!

His father said not to let him look at the back window, but he couldn't help but look.

There was nothing, just that the newly built window sill was a bit worn.

However, everything at home was fine. He wasn't at home, but the family added a lot of items.

Comrade Ge Shuqin was consistently good to him, didn't urge him to take money home again, and didn't say anything when he gave money for his brother's hospital discharge fee today.

Just like his father said, harmony in the family brings prosperity.

"Dad, did you agree to move that pile of stuff?"

"Hmm."

Yan Fugui heard the voices of his son, daughter-in-law, and others at the door. At this moment, he didn't even open his eyes and responded.

"I sold it."

"Sold it?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at his father sitting on the chair in surprise. Is this still his father?

Isn't it "don't be poor by eating, don't be poor by wearing, don't be poor for a lifetime by not calculating"? Sold the good stuff?

"If I don't sell it, are you going to clean it up?"

Yan Fugui opened his eyes and signaled his son to get out of the way, don't block him from sunning.

"But many of them are usable."

Yan Jiecheng looked at his father and said, "Are you going to buy new ones later?"

"Talk about the future later."

Yan Fugui closed his eyes again and lay back on the chair. During this period of time, he listened to Li Shun and came out to sun every day, feeling that his body was much stronger.

Li Shun said that taking medicine costs money, but this sunshine is free, and it is equally good for health.

As long as the sun comes out, he can sun from morning until night, except for eating and going to the toilet.

Sunning in the sun, taking a nap from time to time, and when he woke up again, it was already sunset.

Now, with the afterglow of the setting sun on his face, there was a tingling feeling.

"Hiss."

Yan Fugui touched his face. Why is it a bit painful? It's burning pain. It won't be sun-peeled, right?

This sun's cheapness can't be taken too much.

Just at this moment, Old Biaozi entered the courtyard and didn't pay attention to Yan Jiecheng, who was standing at the door cleaning the house.

"Third Master, I weighed it, and I calculated everything that can be counted as money."

As he spoke, he handed over a few bills and said, "Count them."

"I don't want money."

The Third Master reached out and pushed back the money Old Biaozi handed over.

Seeing that his father didn't want money, is this giving it away for free?

"Dad!"

Yan Jiecheng walked over and wanted to take the money, but was dodged by Old Biaozi.

"Dad, this is money, the money from selling our family's junk."

"Do I need you to tell me?"

Yan Fugui glared at his son, then said to Old Biaozi, "You are building a house, right? Help me clean up the tiles on the roof."

"Hehe, why do you say your brain turns fast?"

Old Biaozi shook the money in his hand and said, "Selling junk gives money, but buying tiles requires tickets."

"You arrange it."

Yan Fugui looked at Old Biaozi and said, "Buy as many tiles as you can. Even if you say these money can only buy one tile, the Third Master will recognize it."

"You are worthy of being you!"

Old Biaozi looked at the money in his hand and said, "You really don't want it?"

"Don't want it, just do as I say!"

Yan Fugui sat on the chair and said righteously, "I am in charge of this family. What I say counts. You keep this money, just treat it as taking care of the Third Master, this useless person."

"Okay, I consider it smashed in my hands~"

Old Biaozi shook the money and turned to leave.

Yan Jiecheng looked at his father and asked, "Dad, don't you know what kind of person he is? How can you trust him so much?"

"Then who should I trust? You?"

Yan Fugui turned his head and looked at his eldest son, saying, "Think about it later, when you pay back the seven hundred and fifty you owe me, then mention the word trust to me."

"Not..."

Yan Jiecheng wanted to say more, but his father had already walked home with his hands behind his back.

He didn't want to say anything else, he just wanted to ask his father how two hundred and fifty became seven hundred and fifty.

This is donkey rolling, interest rolling interest.

Old Biaozi arrived at the east courtyard and told Master Dou about the Yan family's affairs in the front courtyard, but Master Dou frowned.

He told Old Biaozi in a low voice about what happened in the alley last time.

Old Biaozi listened with a smile and said that the two were both disabled now and wouldn't block him at the alley entrance again.

"Hehehe, you!"

Where did Master Dou mean that he was afraid of being blocked? He was afraid of being embarrassed when they met.

"Repair it for him."

Old Biaozi said indifferently, "It's a matter of convenience. This is the money from selling junk, all for you."

"This, it doesn't take that much, it's just a few tiles."

Master Dou wouldn't want Old Biaozi's money. Building a house here is really a matter of convenience.

"Don't, can't let people work for nothing."

Old Biaozi pushed the money over and said, "Keep it, count it as a rule. Wait a while before you leave, someone will come to you to repair the house in a while."

"Hahaha, that's good."

Master Dou smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be able to take a continuous job."

The two were talking, and perhaps it was time to get off work, and the alley began to get lively.

The sound of bicycle bells, the sound of people talking into the alley, the sound of children making noise.

The atmosphere of fireworks became rich all of a sudden.

Because the women at home had to prepare meals for the men coming home from work.

Men wash their hands when they get home and have to eat. If they are one minute late, they will scold the street.

This is how it is at this time. Women wash clothes, cook, and take care of children at home. If you can't do this well, what else do you want to do?

Men earn money outside and cannot be short of food and drink at home. This is a man's responsibility.

If you can't earn it, you deserve to be nagged by your wife.

At this moment, Sha Zhu walked into the courtyard, smelled the smell in the air, and smiled and muttered, "Who is boiling sweet potatoes?"

"You really have a good nose."

The Third Mother helped her son with crutches to come out to go to the toilet, and said this when she saw Sha Zhu enter the courtyard.

Sha Zhu hadn't answered yet, but saw the Ye Ye Erye also come out with crutches.

Hey! Is it intentional!

Yan Jiefang looked at the Ye Ye Erye's crutches, the same as his own.

Sha Zhu looked at the Ye Ye Erye's head, bald and wrapped in gauze.

The Ye Ye Erye looked at Sha Zhu's head, bald and wrapped in gauze.

The three looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Because at this moment, Xiao Dang was led by her mother from the outer courtyard.

Another head wrapped in gauze.

Okay, counting Qin Jingru standing in the middle courtyard, this courtyard has become a hospital courtyard.

One by one, they are all white gauze, either lame or injured on the head.

For a moment, the courtyard fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, and then pretended that nothing had happened, and went about their business.

The Ye Ye Erye came out for nothing else, but to find Master Dou to tighten the tiles.

He had two sons who could do work.

But the two boys didn't know this technical work, eating was fine.

Furthermore, he didn't lack money. If the tiles weren't tightened well, he would just wait for rain to leak in spring, summer, and autumn.

It wasn't just him. At this moment, there were many people standing at the entrance of the east courtyard. As long as the family was a little wealthy, they all wanted to ask the workers to do the work.

Because the workers were working at Li's house, and it didn't cost much money, so don't waste time.

Hey, it really fulfilled Old Biaozi's words. Except for two or three households in the courtyard who didn't say they wanted to tighten tiles, everyone else came.

At this moment, Li Xuewu got off the car, glanced at the liveliness in the hall, and looked at the construction waste piled up outside the east courtyard wall, and knew that Master Dou had come.

After entering the gate, he understood what everyone meant.

He gave Master Dou a gesture, Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the backyard, and walked inside.

Master Dou saw Li Xuewu come in, knew he was going to wait for him in the inverted room, nodded, and continued to set up the tile tightening with the people in the courtyard.

Li Xuewu returned to the backyard, put his briefcase on the table, and said to Yu Li who followed him in, "Is dinner ready?"

"It's ready."

Yu Li took Li Xuewu's coat and found another one from before.

"You have to go to Shen's house in a while, just wear this one."

"Okay."

Li Xuewu looked at the clothes in Yu Li's hand and said, "Is there anything over there?"

"Nothing."

Yu Li went to the bathroom to help Li Xuewu prepare hot water, and wanted Li Xuewu to wash his hands and face before going to the front courtyard to eat.

"We took turns eating, and Biaozi sent Guodong's meal over."

Yu Li chattered and told Li Xuewu about Shen's family, so that Li Xuewu could have an understanding.

Hesitating, she still told Li Xuewu about meeting Yan Jiecheng in the afternoon.

Li Xuewu didn't care much, Old Biaozi would handle it.

"From now on, Biaozi and the third uncle will handle affairs at home. If you have anything, find them."

Li Xuewu organized himself, looked at Yu Li and said, "You should also keep an eye on the house. I've been busy lately."

"I know."

Yu Li responded and went out with Li Xuewu.

"Li Chu."

As soon as Li Xuewu went out, he saw Liu Guangtian coming out of the house, and greeted Li Xuewu when he saw him.

"Going out?"

Li Xuewu saw Liu Guangtian coming out with a bottle and asked casually.

"Isn't it? The leader came to send a piece of mutton and insisted on drinking."

Liu Guangtian raised the wine bottle in his hand and signaled to Li Xuewu.

"Heh, good life."

Li Xuewu praised and walked out with a smile.

Liu Guangtian, who followed behind, nodded and smiled at Yu Li, then caught up with Li Xuewu and asked, "Li Chu, I heard that our factory is going to build houses?"

"Heard about it?"

Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at him, saying while walking, "There is a consultation document for opinions."

"What's there to consult? Build it!"

Liu Guangtian said excitedly, "We young workers are all waiting for rice to cook!"

"Hehe, what rice?"

Li Xuewu heard this for the first time.

"You don't have rice to cook, but the factory doesn't have rice to build houses."

"The factory doesn't have rice, but it has money!"

Liu Guangtian chased after Li Xuewu and said, "Isn't the large amount of beef and mutton brought back money? Build it."

"Build your own?"

Li Xuewu patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder and said, "There is a need for housing for thousands of households. That little money is not enough to build a foundation."

"No, then I..."

Liu Guangtian wanted to move out of this house, but now his hope was dashed again.

Li Xuewu smiled and replied, "Wait, the factory doesn't just have your situation. There will be a solution."

As he spoke, seeing his father coming back from outside, he didn't say anything more, nodded, and passed by.

"What were you talking to him about?"

Liu Haizhong glanced at Li Xuewu's back and asked his son, "Still thinking about the Security Department?"

"Uh... yes, just asking."

Liu Guangtian didn't dare to say that he was asking about housing allocation, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and said, "I'll go get wine for you."

As he spoke, he ran away in a flash.

Liu Haizhong squinted his eyes and looked at his son. Why is this kid weird?

After entering the front courtyard, there was no need to look at the gate. The glass window of the inverted room opposite was open, and Master Dou was sitting inside.

Li Xuewu smiled, turned a corner, and entered the east room.

"There is no good food tonight, drink more."

"Li Chu, you are too polite."

Several people in the room stood up when they saw Li Xuewu come in, and Master Dou was even more polite to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaled him to sit down, and then took the hot water poured by Yushui.

Usually, Yushui wouldn't be busy here. She was either reading at home or cleaning the house and washing clothes.

Today, Shen's family had something to do, so she followed her brother to help here.

She also happened to be sitting here, and seeing Li Xuewu come over, she poured hot water.

"I've always wanted to invite you to dinner, and today I caught up."

Li Xuewu started, "Another thing is to talk to you about cleaning up the house."

At this moment, Sha Zhu also walked out of the kitchen and gestured to Li Xuewu in the direction of his house.

Li Xuewu nodded, indicating he understood.

Seeing Li Xuewu nod, Sha Zhu returned to the kitchen.

Dou Yaozu saw Li Xuewu speak and took the initiative to ask, "Is it tightening tiles?"

"Also."

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette case and distributed cigarettes to several people at the table. When he reached the one sitting on his right, he looked at Yushui sitting beside him and smiled embarrassedly.

Yushui rolled her eyes, stood up, and pushed open the window behind her.

"The tiles of the inverted room and the west courtyard, as well as the tiles of my room in the back courtyard, are all new, no need to move. My father's, Zhu Zi's, and the old lady's in the back courtyard, you have to work hard."

"No problem."

Master Dou let Old Biaozi light the fire, nodded, and said, "Then this time I will buy more tiles and clean them up together."

"My father's house is also an old house. You see when it is convenient, clean it up."

Li Xuewu wanted to say this today. His father said last time that the house was left by his grandfather, so it had to be cleaned up, he was worried.

"Do you want a big repair?"

Master Dou smoked a cigarette and said, "If your house is to be repaired, it must be a major repair. Look at the beams and pillars, if they don't work, they must be replaced."

"You decide."

Li Xuewu blew a puff of smoke and said, "The earthquake gave the family a fright. Living in that house is also trembling."

"Hehe, who says it isn't?"

Master Dou also smiled with lingering fear and said, "There are many people looking for me to do this work these days."

"Work hard."

Li Xuewu didn't pick up his words. He didn't care if Master Dou was busy or not. Even if he was busy, he had to follow the work he said.

Dou Yaozu also understood Li Xuewu's meaning and naturally wouldn't put the cart before the horse.

How many times can the prosperity of building renovation brought by the earthquake happen? The work arranged by Li Chu is long-term.

He still knew how to make multiple-choice questions, using his feet to choose.

Although Li Xuewu said it wasn't a good dish, today it was a funeral for Shen Guodong, so there were dishes that should be there, and meat that should be there.

Master Dou saw that Li Xuewu and the others didn't drink, but were accompanied by the Ye Ye Erye and the grandfather, so he knew about Shen Guodong's matter.

After the wine banquet dispersed, seeing that Li Xuewu and the others were going to Shen's house, he said he had to go and kowtow.

He wanted to get close to Li Xuewu now, and since he caught up with it, how could he pretend not to know.

When Li Xuewu and his group arrived at Shen's house, it was already dark.

It might be windy, and the sky was gray, and the stars were not very bright.

Before entering the courtyard, he smelled the smell of burning paper. Old Biaozi put the food box in his hand aside and kowtowed in front of the spirit with Li Xuewu and others.

At first, Shen Guodong didn't notice, but it was Chen Xiaoyan who was kneeling on the side who reminded him, and then he saw Master Dou behind Li Xuewu and others.

After Li Xuewu and others finished kowtowing, he stepped forward alone and kowtowed outside the door.

Shen Guodong knelt on the ground and kowtowed in return.

This is the old rule.

And Master Dou stood up and helped him with his hand, saying, "Condolences."

Shen Guodong got up and came out, and said some words of thanks to Master Dou.

Today, even if there was such an outsider in the family, Shen Guodong was quite emotional in his heart.

Master Dou was also tired for a day, and seeing that Shen Guodong and the others hadn't eaten yet, he signaled to leave.

Old Biaozi stopped Shen Guodong who wanted to send him off, and signaled him to take Chen Xiaoyan to eat, and went to send Master Dou himself.

When Li Xuewu came, he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket. At this moment, kneeling on the ground for a while, he felt the cold on his knees.

"Is there no other empty room in this courtyard?"

"No."

Shen Guodong held the rice bowl and ate, shook his head with a bitter smile, "All the houses that can be occupied are occupied."

Li Xuewu looked at his brother and said, "What time tomorrow morning?"

"Six o'clock, Ye Ye Erye said."

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded and looked at Chen Xiaoyan again.

According to the old etiquette, Chen Xiaoyan doesn't have to be here, after all, she hasn't married yet.

But Chen Xiaoyan insisted on staying here, which moved Shen Guodong.

Grandma is gone, Chen Xiaoyan gave him the company and support of family.

The meal eaten at this moment was also endured, if you don't eat, you can't.

He is the only one left in the family, how can he send the old lady away if he doesn't eat.

Li Xuewu was also chatting, isn't guarding the spirit just such a thing.

While talking, Old Biaozi saw Shen Guodong and the two finished eating, packed the food box, and went home.

He had to bring people to transport the coffin and the things for tomorrow's funeral.

It was really windy, the temperature in the room dropped, and Li Xuewu felt cold even wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

The kneeling posture also changed to sitting, and he talked to Shen Guodong sitting on the side about childhood things.

At this moment, there were only these people in the room, and Pazile stood at the door smoking, listening to Li Xuewu and them talking.

At this moment, someone would go out to the toilet from time to time in the courtyard, but no one looked over here.

They all knew that Shen Guodong became a hooligan, wearing a broken cotton-padded jacket to collect junk every day.

If you say that the people in this courtyard are snobbish, it's not wrong, but when is there no snobbery?

Originally, it was a lonely old man living with his grandson. The grandson was a down-and-out person, and knowing that there was no future, who would value it.

So many people were busy here today, and the people in the courtyard didn't think much about it. Helping the hooligan was just a hooligan.

Li Xuewu was sitting inside listening to Shen Guodong talking about his childhood when he suddenly saw Old Biaozi and Erhai standing at the door beckoning to him.

"What's wrong?"

"Wu Ge, guests are here."

Li Xuewu's eyes narrowed, what kind of guest could find this place.

Standing up and walking out under Shen Guodong's puzzled eyes.

When he walked out of the gate led by Old Biaozi and Erhai, and looked at the door.

"Oh, Shopkeeper Zhang, rare guest!"

"Hehe, you really made me look for it!"

The visitor was Shopkeeper Zhang, followed by two people, Brother Da Chun and Daqiang.

"Hard work, hard work!"

Li Xuewu smiled and arched his hands, asking, "Did you just arrive in the capital?"

"Six o'clock train, found it in the dark."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "The name you left is really not easy to find. It was only after asking a clear person that I knew your address."

"Oh? Then I really have to thank this clear person."

Li Xuewu looked back at the courtyard and explained, "My brother has a funeral, the old lady is gone, it's not convenient here, let's find a place to talk."

"Not busy!"

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the courtyard, took off his coat, took off his hat, and then said to Li Xuewu, "Your brother is my friend, and the old man is gone, so I should kowtow."

Under Li Xuewu's surprised gaze, Shopkeeper Zhang brought the two of them into the courtyard, saw the spirit, and kowtowed to the ground.

Shen Guodong in the room was also stunned.

Who is this?

No matter who it is, he has to return it after kowtowing.

So at this moment, Shen Guodong hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Shopkeeper Zhang reached out to help Shen Guodong and said condolences.

Li Xuewu introduced them to Shen Guodong, and Shen Guodong understood that it was Wu Ge's friend.

Why don't you say that Northeast people do things brightly, this matter really made Li Xuewu look at him with new eyes.

Signaling Old Biaozi to stay and help, he took Shopkeeper Zhang and his party into the car.

Pazile also followed into the car silently, sitting in the corner like a ghost.

When Li Xuewu brought people to the Sihe Academy, Shopkeeper Zhang realized Li Xuewu's ability.

Li Xuewu didn't lie, and directly took them into the west room of the inverted room.

"Yu Jie, arrange a few dishes."

After saying this to Yu Li, Li Xuewu turned around and signaled Shopkeeper Zhang and the others to get on the kang.

"Get on the kang and warm up."

"Not cold."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled at Li Xuewu and said, "The pass is warmer than the pass. We are still snowing over there."

"Thousands of kilometers apart."

Li Xuewu smiled and let Xilin make tea, and asked Pazile to find Wen Saner.

Wen Saner's son was not feeling well these two days, so he went home to eat at night, saying he would come over early tomorrow morning.

Now that the "old friend" is here, how can he not come to see him.

"Isn't it?"

It was said that it was not cold, but Shopkeeper Zhang still took off his shoes and got on the kang.

"Don't say, I really didn't expect that the capital also sleeps on a kang?"

"My ancestral home is in the Northeast."

Li Xuewu smiled, also took off his shoes, and sat on the kang with his legs crossed.

Yu Li moved the kang table over and put it on. Li Xuewu and Shopkeeper Zhang sat across the table drinking tea.

"I sounded like it last time, didn't dare to ask, hehehe."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, Li Xuewu didn't talk about the main topic, and he didn't talk about it either.

At this moment, the two talked about the world, and none of them were related to the things to be handled today.

Brother Da Chun and Daqiang sat on the edge of the kang drinking tea, looking at Li Xuewu, looking at the furnishings and people in the room.

This house has a lot of people coming in and out, two kangs in the east and west rooms, this person's power is really great.

Can it not be big? Pit so many things from Yu Min, the mad dog, and now it looks like it's not showing mountains or water.

Look at these busy people again. The woman cooking is not to mention, this service doesn't look like it's from the mainland, especially the one sitting on the bench, it's from the frontier, right?

This Shopkeeper Li's power is really powerful.

The two were thinking, when they saw Man Dejie come in.

"Hahaha, Director Man, how have you been!"

Seeing Wen Saner come in, Shopkeeper Zhang sitting on the kang spoke first, and Wen Saner smiled and returned an arching ceremony.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Xie misses it, is the journey smooth?"

"Smooth, smooth."

Shopkeeper Zhang squinted his eyes and said, "As long as you don't go from the steel city, it will be smooth."

"Hehe, Shopkeeper's tiger edge, who dares to be presumptuous!"

Wen Saner was invited by Li Xuewu to get on the kang, and sat down at the kang table with a smile.

"If I want to say, some small thieves are not enough for the shopkeeper to fear."

"You really know how to joke!"

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "Twenty people came to find my two brothers, this is not a small thief, right?"

"I think it's a small thief!"

Li Xuewu, who had been sitting on the side and watching with a smile, untied his chest, revealing the gun holster inside, and said, "In the face of absolute force, they are all paper tigers."

"Of course..."

"Of course!"

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't expect Li Xuewu to be so horizontal, and he would show his stuff if he didn't agree.

After being stunned, he waved his hand to signal his two subordinates not to move, and the meaning of "of course" said twice in a row was even more obvious.

"In your place, they are of course small thieves, of course paper tigers..."

"It's the same everywhere!"

Li Xuewu said indifferently, "I want him to die at the third watch now, and if you can see him alive tomorrow morning, count it as I lived in vain."

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Li Xuewu's expression, which didn't look like a joke, and his face suddenly became serious.

"I haven't asked for your name yet, so I can have a bottom in my heart."

"Hehe."

Li Xuewu picked up the teapot and refilled his tea, and asked with a smile, "Didn't the clear person you found tell you?"

"Your tiger power is heavy, the men on the ground don't dare to say your number, it was 'looked and sent' me to your place."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled and put down the teapot, nodding, "It might be a misunderstanding."

"I'm afraid not."

Shopkeeper Zhang moved his teacup, took out a small pocket wrapped in a towel from his arms, and made a few crisp sounds when he took it out.

"It's me, the barking dog biting the moon, not knowing the height of the sky."

Looking at Li Xuewu, Shopkeeper Zhang opened the towel, revealing the golden things inside.

"This is five percent of the profit from this deal."

As he spoke, he pushed this pile of golden yellow over without looking at it, saying, "Please give the proprietor a way to live, or point out a clear path."

Everyone in the room was stunned by this scene, even Yu Li, who was preparing to serve dishes, stopped at the door, holding the dishes in her hands, not knowing what to do.
