Chapter 517

"Go, sit properly."

Yu Li tried hard to maintain her mental stability, and threatened, "If you move around yourself and get stabbed, don't blame me."

Li Xuewu twisted his mouth; he didn't really think Yu Li would stab him, but he was afraid Yu Li would really shed tears in front of him.

Although he only had the heart to water flowers and no intention to raise them, it wouldn't be good if this kind of flirtatious thing caused a bit of flower dew.

"Do you need my help with anything?"

Just as she finished trimming his hair and was helping Li Xuewu clean up the hair clippings, Yu Li stood by Li Xuewu's side and asked.

Li Xuewu grinned amusedly and asked back, "If you don't like it, why do you still want to do it?"

"You're being too narcissistic."

Yu Li also sorted out her mood while sorting out Li Xuewu's hair.

This man had never given her a promise, nor had he made any demands of her, so why should she demand anything of this man?

Seeing Li Xuewu's teasing appearance, Yu Li mocked Li Xuewu's narcissism.

Li Xuewu didn't care and said, "I hope so, but what exactly needs to be done will have to wait a bit, I have to discuss it with Gu Ning's side."

Yu Li was much shorter than Li Xuewu, and when Li Xuewu stood up, she could only stand on tiptoe to tidy up Li Xuewu's turned-up collar.

"If there's anything you need help with, tell me, I mean it."

"Mm, I will."

Li Xuewu put on the coat Yu Li handed him, picked up the document bag on the table, and walked out.

Yu Li still had to tidy up here, after all, the hair clippings on the floor and the haircutting tools had to be put away.

When Li Xuewu's figure flashed past the window, Yu Li really couldn't help it, and sat down on the chair in front of the desk, supporting herself.

She had a premonition that this day was coming, but she didn't expect that when this day arrived, her world would be in such a state of spinning.

Perhaps as she said, in essence, she and Qin Huairu were still somewhat different.

Qin Huairu had long been prepared and saw herself clearly, and was so free toward Li Xuewu.

In contrast, she was overly dependent on Li Xuewu, which made her so lost when this day arrived.

Time will not change with human will; if it could change, Yu Li would want to stop, but Li Xuewu would want to move forward, and the two would ultimately go their separate ways.

Li Xuewu wasn't unaware of Yu Li's situation, but he couldn't do much more.

Moving forward steadily was what he should do most now, just like he walked out of the moon gate.

"It's hot today, I can't wear a coat."

At this time, Qin Huairu also came out of the house, looking like she was going to work.

Li Xuewu looked at his coat and replied, "I'm not going out on duty today, how hot can it be?"

Seeing Qin Huairu carrying a bag, he asked casually, "So early?"

"There's a meeting at the factory today in our large conference room, I'm going early so I can rest easy."

At this time, Yushui also walked out of the room, obviously also looking like she was going to work.

White small jacket, pink shirt, slim pants, and black leather shoes; her taste in clothes was more fashionable than Qin Huairu's.

Seeing Li Xuewu and Qin Huairu talking, Yushui curled her lips and didn't pick up the conversation, only smiling when Qin Huairu greeted her.

Li Xuewu knew what Yushui was thinking, but didn't bother with her, and walked out first.

Qin Huairu and Yushui chatted behind, and only after passing the hanging flower gate and entering the screen gate did the two separate.

Qin Huairu went to the west courtyard to push the bike, while Yushui followed Li Xuewu into the inverted house for breakfast.

Because there was a lot of work, Old Biaozi had led the people in the inverted house to work for a while in the morning.

Although so many stools and tables hadn't been assembled, and the paint hadn't all been applied, the progress was still under Old Biaozi's control.

However, when Li Xuewu came out of the house, he smelled the paint in the air, and even breakfast was somewhat affected.

He didn't like the smell, nor did he like exhaust fumes, unlike the children at this time who chased cars to smell the exhaust.

During the meal, several people who heard the news smiled and congratulated Li Xuewu, and seeing Li Xuewu smiling and responding, everyone knew the news.

Xi Lin looked at Li Xuewu with complicated eyes and didn't go over to join the fun.

She remembered that Li Xuewu had told her that there were arrangements for her work, and Li Xuewu told her to wait, so she would just wait.

Also not joining the fun was Yushui, who had followed him into the room; she was obviously just hearing the news and looked at Li Xuewu, who was surrounded by several people at the table, with surprise.

It was like the surprise of seeing someone inconspicuous from childhood suddenly appear in front of you; she didn't expect Li Xuewu to be getting married too.

Thinking back, it seemed like it was only yesterday that she was the one getting married.

This breakfast was very festive; Seeing Sha Zhu shouted and asked Li Xuewu when he was getting married, so he could hurry up and get ahead, after all, it was a bit embarrassing for the big brother to be later than the little brother.

Li Xuewu's date was basically set for May 1st, and Seeing Sha Zhu thought about it and also wanted to set his date within this range.

After all, the benefits were visible, and everyone wanted a holiday to handle it.

Of course, Seeing Sha Zhu wouldn't go head-to-head with Li Xuewu to crash, he might be a few days earlier, after all, he was simple and didn't want to set up so many tables.

Who said good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles?

Li Xuewu really didn't deliberately promote this matter, but when he went to the cafeteria for lunch, everyone started congratulating him.

There was really no way to say who spread this kind of thing, but it couldn't be anyone other than the neighbors in his own courtyard.

He was someone who attracted attention, and there were probably quite a few people paying attention to his personal life.

Especially the girls in the factory, it wouldn't be right to say their hearts were broken, but the dream of being the director's wife was shattered.

It wasn't news that Li Xuewu had a partner, but the news of his marriage was still a bit catching people off guard.

He had just sat down, and some leaders who arrived late specifically went around to the small cafeteria and pointed at Li Xuewu to say congratulations.

Especially Yang Yuansong, who "criticized" Li Xuewu for not taking his personal problems seriously, and not getting married when he was this "old," which caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

Before leaving, Yang Yuansong also pointed at Li Xuewu and told him to take the candy and find him to get the marriage certificate once the date was set.

This time is really special, you are the organization's person when you are born, and the organization's ghost when you die.

You have to get the organization's approval to get married, have children, and live in a house; just like this marriage, the organization will also handle it for you.

Li Xuewu was a deputy division-level cadre, so Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan really had to sign for his marriage.

Gu Ning's side was the same, and what was more special than Li Xuewu was that Gu Ning also had to meet the rank and age requirements.

And there was a political review, reviewing Gu Ning and also reviewing him.

Both sides needed to submit a love report and a marriage report to their respective organizations; it's strange, right? Everyone is like this at this time.

Because this matter had to be prepared early, for fear that the report wouldn't be approved by the time of the wedding, so Li Xuewu prepared this after returning to the office from lunch.

He was going to find Gu Ning at the villa tonight and prepare to write the report and bring it directly over.

Then wait for the cadres on Gu Ning's side to contact him to do the political review investigation, and then wait for Gu Ning's side to agree.

When the day came, the two would take the opinion letters issued by both units to take photos and collect that large award-like marriage certificate.

It's worth mentioning that with the marriage certificate, you can also buy some candy at a discount, which is considered a new marriage benefit.

This was Li Xuewu's first time writing this kind of report, so he called Yu Decai and Sha Qizhi to the office and communicated with them with a smile before writing it well.

Yu Decai said with a smile, "To be honest, I've been a secretary for leaders for several years, and I've been the office director for several years, but this is really the first time I've referred to this kind of opinion for a leader."

Sha Qizhi sat on the side and also laughed, "I wasn't even this nervous when I wrote my own application report when I got married."

"Hahaha~"

Li Xuewu laughed and threw cigarettes to both of them, lit one himself, and said, "If it weren't for the special situation on my partner's side, I would have just thrown it to Secretary Yang to handle for me."

"This can't be sloppy."

Yu Decai said with a smile, "Although no one is stopping this, it's also going to be filed; you're about to be a military family member, so you have to take it seriously."

"Otherwise, why would I find the two of you with the strongest writing skills in the security office?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile, "I didn't care about the political review, my father-in-law has already reviewed me, I'm just afraid that the news will be all over the place on my partner's side."

Yu Decai didn't know what kind of status the director's father-in-law had, but hearing this, it seemed that he really wasn't an ordinary cadre.

At this time, those who actively review the other half of their children are basically high-ranking cadres.

Although there is no clear definition of what counts, there is basically a clear positioning.

Li Xuewu knew the two were guessing, so he waved his hand and explained, "My father-in-law is not old, and he likes young people from the military; I can barely be considered to have caught his eye."

"If someone as excellent as you is considered barely, then we really don't dare to guess."

Yu Decai was relatively straightforward when chatting with leaders about this kind of thing; this was the leader's private matter, and sometimes they would implicitly and clearly tell subordinates with closer relationships.

There are many purposes, and they are very complicated, but it is definitely not to show off or let subordinates promote it.

Li Xuewu didn't explain, Yu Decai would figure these things out himself, and it would be bad to say them out.

"I really have to ask you for a favor."

Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette and said to Yu Decai, "Help me entertain the comrades in our unit on the wedding day, otherwise I really can't handle it."

"Haha, no problem."

Yu Decai couldn't wait for Li Xuewu to use him; as long as he stood at the door and welcomed the guests of the steel mill on behalf of Li Xuewu, he would be in Li Xuewu's circle.

Everyone would understand the meaning and status that Yu Decai represented on Li Xuewu's side.

Actually, this kind of opportunity is very rare, after all, there are very few leaders of Li Xuewu's rank who haven't gotten married.

Even if they change wives and get married for the second time, they don't hold a wedding like this, everyone knows it doesn't look good to simplify it.

Yu Decai was looking forward to helping at Li Xuewu's wedding; he really wanted to see how big and wide Li Xuewu's entire social circle was.

After finishing this topic, Li Xuewu asked Yu Decai about the consultation letter from yesterday.

Yu Decai said with confidence, "Including the earthquake at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, we already have rich disposal and rescue experience for this form of emergency work, you can rest easy."

There was indeed an earthquake yesterday afternoon, but Li Xuewu didn't run, because it wasn't intense, and he was tired of running.

Damn it, since the 8th, this earthquake has been endless, except for the second one and the one last Saturday which were relatively scary, the others were fine.

Just like what Yu Decai said, according to the reports in the newspaper, plus the one yesterday afternoon, there have been twenty earthquakes above magnitude 5.

Think about it, twenty earthquakes in twenty days, an average of once a day, anyone would be tired of it.

Let it shake, I'm not running anymore, whatever.

"Director, now that you mention it, I remember."

Sha Qizhi took over, "I heard in the morning that the factory found a geological team to select land in the residential area to drill wells and detect geological conditions, it looks like the factory workers can really live in new buildings this year."

"Good thing."

Li Xuewu smiled and asked Yu Decai, "How about it? Have you told Director Xu about your matter?"

"Not yet."

Yu Decai smiled hesitantly and asked, "Should I invite Director Xu out for a meal?"

"Pull, he's beautiful."

Li Xuewu curled his lips, picked up the phone on the table, and called Xu Sinian.

Xu Sinian didn't rest at noon, and the factory office had a lot of work in the morning and before two in the afternoon.

"Director Xu, how are you? Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to a meal."

"Haha, if you have something to say, say it."

Xu Sinian didn't believe Li Xuewu would invite him to a meal, and even if he did, he wouldn't dare to go, who knows how big the pit would be.

Li Xuewu calling Xu Sinian to solve Yu Decai's matter wasn't entirely because he wanted to ask Yu Decai for help, there were other reasons.

After all, he was his own office director, he understood everything, and if he didn't help when he caught up, it ultimately wouldn't look good.

And this matter wasn't hard to handle, it was just that there were many people in Beijing at this time, and work was hard to distribute, so they were cautious about moving in.

But Yu Decai's situation was fine, he had his own job, and his wife and children didn't need to be arranged for work, so it was easy to handle without grabbing rice bowls.

Xu Sinian didn't take Li Xuewu's explanation seriously, just teased, "This matter should be handled by the personnel department, why find me?"

Everyone knew Li Xuewu had a relationship with the personnel section, this was Xu Sinian's occupational disease, always feeling that Li Xuewu was digging a pit.

"Hi, this matter is secondary, mainly because I want to take this opportunity to thank you for sending me these three college students."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about it? Drink a little tonight?"

"Less come, no time."

Xu Sinian gave a straightforward reply, with a firm attitude of not wanting to drink with Li Xuewu, he didn't have the habit of self-abuse.

After chatting for a while, Li Xuewu hung up the phone.

"Alright, tomorrow, you go find him to apply."

"Haha, thank you, Director."

Yu Decai could handle this matter himself, but it ultimately wasn't as convenient as a phone call from Li Xuewu.

However, he didn't intend to let Li Xuewu take this favor, he still had to take what he should take.

After talking about public and private matters, Li Xuewu was busy for a few hours and then took Sha Qizhi to the Public Security Brigade.

When he arrived here, he received another round of congratulations, Li Xuewu grabbed Shen Fang and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the news? We are the Public Security Brigade, not the Intelligence Brigade."

Shen Fang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Some comrades went to the station to handle business and heard it, it seems like your neighbors said it."

"Will the whole city know by now?"

Li Xuewu laughed at himself and followed Shen Fang to look at the playground.

The number of people training daily had decreased a lot, after all, it was three shifts, plus study classes, and the people on the playground were scattered.

Perhaps because there was some mission, there were more people from the 816 Regiment headquarters.

"How is the Jiaodaokou station? Is everything okay?"

"What could be wrong?"

Shen Fang smoked, knowing Li Xuewu was worried about Ji Yuxiu, and replied, "Old Xing was promoted to deputy director, I've talked to him."

"Oh, he got his wish."

Li Xuewu knew Old Xing quite well, he could endure and fight, he wasn't the material for a main official, but he was an operational cadre.

"Actually, he borrowed your light."

Shen Fang didn't explain much, just smiled, and then talked about the situation at the station.

To be honest, if Ji Yuxiu wasn't there, Li Xuewu wouldn't pay much attention to that station.

It had been a long time since he even saw Duan Youting.

Business was one aspect, and everyone being busy was another, but the feelings that should be there were still there.

After all, they had worked together, and Li Xuewu was also inquiring.

From Shen Fang's relatively reserved tone, Li Xuewu could tell that this guy was also doing some small tricks.

The three of them had cooperated before and knew the benefits of huddling together for warmth.

Now that they had a division-level cadre like Li Xuewu among them, they had a backbone and a goal for unity.

Shen Fang was intentionally carrying Li Xuewu's flag to expand his connections.

He knew, but didn't say it clearly, this wasn't an unexpected thing.

Even if Shen Fang didn't do it, there would be others who would take the initiative to help Li Xuewu do it.

It was just that Shen Fang and Li Xuewu had a better relationship, and no one bypassed Shen Fang to find Li Xuewu.

At this time, work was done like this, although Shen Fang could talk to Zheng Fuhua, it was ultimately a long way off.

With a young and promising flag planted, there were still many people willing to lean over.

Moreover, this flag had shown a strong and stable posture in several actions and contacts, and some active-minded people were already getting along well with Shen Fang.

The Public Security Brigade had a lot of business, and Li Xuewu ultimately couldn't be stationed here for a long time, and he was a part-timer, so after the organization construction here was completed, he would mostly manage it, but wouldn't be a part-timer anymore.

Of course, it was hard to say about this time, but the deputy director in charge of action definitely couldn't be a part-timer here forever.

Wang Xiaoqin took the initiative to talk to Li Xuewu, about Li Xuewu's personal situation, and also about the brigade's work this week.

Finally, they talked about the club Li Xuewu mentioned earlier.

Because Huang Gan wasn't far from here, Wang Xiaoqin met Huang Gan when she went to the branch bureau to handle business today, and they ate lunch together and talked about this matter.

The two communicated and expressed great interest in this club.

After all, they were developing within the system, and both had the heart to progress, and family factors would not interfere with them, so they attached great importance to the handling of relationships.

The club form proposed by Li Xuewu met their conditions for making friends and handling relationships, and provided a train of thought for future development.

Li Xuewu couldn't be a part-timer here for long, and Wang Xiaoqin's situation was the same, unless the Public Security Brigade was upgraded, otherwise Wang Xiaoqin, who was at the deputy division level, would definitely have to transfer if she wanted to advance.

"I've selected the venue and am tidying it up."

Li Xuewu rubbed his face and continued, "However, because the place is too big, it will take a while to decorate, but it doesn't delay the establishment of our club."

"My opinion is the same."

Wang Xiaoqin said, "If you want to organize it, do it seriously, including the filing procedures and applications, all in accordance with the organizational procedures; our identities are relatively sensitive, so I still hope it's sound."

"Mm."

Li Xuewu thought about it and said, "I'm prepared to invite Deputy Director Zheng to be our guide, after all, the location is in the East City."

Wang Xiaoqin looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Since you've thought of Deputy Director Zheng, why not go all the way and invite Director Gao?"

"Haha."

Li Xuewu smiled lightly, "I didn't think of making it so comprehensive at the time, after all, our purpose and direction are relatively narrow."

Wang Xiaoqin shook her head, "If you can invite Teacher Liu, that's the best, I don't think we should set our goals so narrow."

Li Xuewu nodded, "I'm also thinking about it, and I'm also hesitating whether to expand the club form and accommodate security cadres, after all, we still have development needs in this regard."

At this time, security cadres and public security cadres were in the same functional system, so it was normal to transfer to each other.

Just like Li Xuewu, if it weren't for the same functional system, it wouldn't be easy to use him like this.

However, the personnel system was ultimately different, which was part of the reason for Li Xuewu's hesitation, and he was also afraid that if the forest was big, there would be bad birds coming in.

But since it was an organization, one had to be mentally prepared for this, it wouldn't necessarily be all united, and there would definitely be different opinions.

This wasn't a private company, you couldn't be a dictator, if you wanted to make friends with comrades, you had to be inclusive.

"How about this, let's get together when we have time."

Li Xuewu thought about this problem and felt it was better to listen to everyone's opinions.

"Invite the comrades who have the intention to organize and talk about it, since we want to do it well, we must have a charter."

"I agree."

Wang Xiaoqin nodded, "At the end of the month, the 30th is just a Sunday, you've been busy lately, I'll organize it with Huang Gan."

"Mm, I'll arrange the venue."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to say, "Our factory guesthouse is relatively convenient, and the meeting place and food will be convenient then."

"I was thinking of using the brigade side."

Wang Xiaoqin smiled and said the location she had thought of earlier.

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "It's not very good, after all, there's a lot involved here, and our factory side is more convenient for outsiders."

"Yes, it's indeed better."

Wang Xiaoqin nodded and agreed with Li Xuewu's statement; they had talked about the prerequisites related to the club earlier.

Li Xuewu could provide venues, equipment, service facilities, etc., and of course, he had to be given a certain status and compensation in the organization.

Another thing was that the relevant agenda would follow Li Xuewu's opinions, and he would also be given a certain degree of tolerance and support in other expenses.

Li Xuewu wanted to engage in some other projects in the club, after all, if he just relied on these people, he wouldn't be able to support the kind of club he had in mind.

But he hadn't had time to work out the specific plan in detail, and planned to wait until he was busy with this period.

Busy at the branch bureau until the end of work, Li Xuewu only stopped by the courtyard and then went to Haiyuncang.

He called Gu Ning in the morning, so the meal was already ready when Li Xuewu arrived at the villa.

"Just in time, hurry up and wash your hands, we're eating right away."

Gu Ning opened the door for Li Xuewu, and Zhou Wang Yamei was the one cooking.

Li Xuewu's arrival brought a lively atmosphere to the villa, and Fu Zhidong had been waiting in the yard early.

At this time, he was following Li Xuewu, calling him uncle this and uncle that.

The layout of the villa was relatively Western, and the dining room was in the octagonal hall, with a sofa near the window for rest.

This dining room was quite sufficient, and it was no problem to seat eight or nine people.

Knowing Li Xuewu was coming, Zhou Wang Yamei made three dishes and one soup, and the staple food was steamed buns.

"Are you drinking?"

Gu Ning also knew why Li Xuewu came, because in the phone call, Li Xuewu asked her to prepare to submit a marriage application.

At this time, Li Xuewu was also pleasantly surprised to hear Gu Ning ask him if he was drinking.

Of course, what Gu Ning signaled wasn't the white wine in the cabinet, but the red wine he brought last time.

Because Zhou Wang Yamei had the habit of drinking, and Li Xuewu didn't want her to drink white wine, he brought some red wine.

The source was the same as what he prepared for Li Huai De, just without the additives.

"Let's have a little, Sister Zhou."

Li Xuewu nodded to Gu Ning with a smile, stood up, and went to get the red wine and corkscrew.

The previous owner here must have been someone who knew how to live and enjoy, although valuables were moved away, what was used in life was still there.

Gu Ning didn't know who lived here before, except for those involving hygiene, everything else that could be used was left behind.

Li Xuewu pinched three red wine glasses and placed them on the dining table, opened the red wine, and didn't have so many particularities, pouring a small half directly.

Zhou Wang Yamei served a plate of washed wild vegetables, and seeing Li Xuewu pouring wine, she said with a smile, "I've already drunk a few bottles myself."

"There's more, drinking a little red wine doesn't hurt people."

Li Xuewu poured the wine, saw Fu Zhidong looking at this side with eager eyes on the chair, smiled, took a bottle of orange juice from the cabinet, opened it, and also used a red wine glass to hold it, placing it in front of him.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

This feeling of being valued made the child show a happy expression, imitating Gu Ning like a little adult, moving the wine glass forward.

Gu Ning also saw his movements and smiled.

Her past life was mostly a quiet atmosphere, with little lively atmosphere of children; since she came to live here with Zhou Wang Yamei, she had a new understanding of children.

This was also the process of slowly learning and understanding, from the restraint she showed when she first met Li Shu to her familiarity now.

Sometimes she felt children were noisy, and sometimes she felt that sunshine, grass, and children were a perfect match, this was spring.

Zhou Wang Yamei finished tidying up, Li Xuewu waited for her to sit at the table, and only then raised his wine glass.

"Today, first of all, I want to thank Sister Zhou for preparing the delicious food, secondly, I want to thank Dr. Gu for her hospitality, and finally, on this beautiful occasion, let us raise our glasses to celebrate this rare gathering."

"Ding~"

"Giggle~"

Fu Zhidong was relatively new to this kind of clinking etiquette, especially children, who all liked to imitate adults.

Seeing his mother and uncle and aunt raise their glasses and drink, he followed suit, as if the juice was the same as the red wine.

Gu Ning wasn't good at drinking, and the alcohol in the red wine made her face slightly flushed.

This time they met, Li Xuewu clearly felt Gu Ning's difference, as if she hadn't answered his question when they parted last time.

But Gu Ning also accepted the toast Li Xuewu just said, it seems this was her attitude.

Li Xuewu was very happy to see this change in Gu Ning; after all, what he wanted was a wife to live a life with, not a cooperative partner who respected each other like guests.

The alienation of the past few days, Li Xuewu understood Gu Ning's concerns, marriage phobia wasn't only in later generations, as long as there were concerns in their hearts, women would have it.

Moreover, Gu Ning was relatively sensitive to feelings, and as a man, Li Xuewu naturally had to show responsibility and accountability.

Gu Ning saw everything Li Xuewu did, including how he treated his parents and family, and how he treated her, and their feelings.

This person was eloquent, capable, young and promising, and filial to the Gu family, which was the most special answer she chose from the multiple-choice questions her father gave.

Although Li Xuewu was recommended by Dong Wenxue, her father and mother didn't all express positive views on Li Xuewu.

Especially after Li Xuewu refused that blind date, it made her mother have opinions.

But she had that misunderstanding with Li Xuewu in the south, and had an unpleasant time at the roast duck restaurant after returning; although this person made her feel his ruthless side, he also left a deep impression on her.

She didn't have any special pursuit for her other half, but now it seemed that the person she chose was special.

Everyone at the dinner table was very casual, Gu Ning only drank that half glass of wine, and Li Xuewu only drank half a glass more to accompany Zhou Wang Yamei.

Because there were things to talk about today, this amount of alcohol was just right, for Li Xuewu, and for Gu Ning and Zhou Wang Yamei.

However, Fu Zhidong drank too much and ran to the bathroom after the meal.

Li Xuewu smiled and returned to the living room, Zhou Wang Yamei didn't let Gu Ning reach out, and signaled her to accompany Li Xuewu to talk in the living room.

Gu Ning's change wasn't just asking Li Xuewu if he was drinking, after returning to the living room, she also took the initiative to make tea for Li Xuewu.

"Are you very busy today?"

Li Xuewu took the initiative to speak, this was the first time she didn't pick up when he called Gu Ning today, and she called Li Xuewu back later.

"No, I was doing rounds at that time."

Gu Ning took Li Xuewu's tea, and also prepared it for herself and Zhou Wang Yamei.

Fu Zhidong ran to the kitchen again, very afraid that his mother would confiscate the soda he had left.

Li Xuewu looked at the room and asked Gu Ning, "Is there anything else that needs to be prepared? I still have some tickets in my hand."

Gu Ning shook her head and said, "It's enough for now, I don't need anything."

Seeing Gu Ning say this, Li Xuewu took out the stack of money and tickets his mother gave him from his pocket and placed them in front of Gu Ning.

Gu Ning looked at the money Li Xuewu put over with surprise, and looked at Li Xuewu with a slight frown, waiting for an explanation.

She had long told Li Xuewu that if she had the money to add things here, she would pay for it, and he didn't need to give it to her.

Li Xuewu also understood what Gu Ning meant, and said with a smile, "No way, Mom and Dad gave it, I didn't want it, and almost got hit."

Seeing Li Xuewu's pitiful appearance, Gu Ning couldn't help but smile, pursing her lips.

"You keep it, I don't need it."

"You keep it."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, refused Gu Ning's opinion, and then took a sip of hot tea before explaining, "Dad said if you don't know what to buy, just keep it for yourself."

Gu Ning pursed her lips, her smile gradually becoming moved, and said, "Aren't Xuecai and Yuxiu also about to handle things? Keep it for them, we don't need it."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, "I told you, Mom said this is for you, Xuecai and the others have their own."

Gu Ning lowered her head and didn't speak again, the ripples in her heart needed to be buffered.

Zhou Wang Yamei also heard the conversation between the two in the dining room, and brought her son out to watch while reading a comic book and drinking the remaining soda, which was quiet.

After a while, Gu Ning raised her head, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is the time set for May 1st?"

"If you have no objections."

Li Xuewu nodded and handed the plan he had prepared to Gu Ning.

While Gu Ning was looking at it, Li Xuewu explained, "I was thinking of taking it home for Mom to see, if Dad can't come back from outside, then let both families meet first."

"Mm."

Gu Ning looked at this well-prepared plan of Li Xuewu and only felt that marriage was really a bitter chore, this was as much as the report made by the hospital leaders.

"Is it this troublesome?"

She didn't feel anything at the beginning, but after taking these ten or so pages of Li Xuewu's, she found it a bit funny.

What she laughed at was that this person was used to the work of the government office, and even marriage was so formal.

Only after she finished reading did she know why Li Xuewu used ten or so pages to write this plan.

Li Xuewu also looked at Gu Ning's frowning expression and smiled bitterly, then rubbed his face and said, "I'm afraid so."

Gu Ning looked at the marriage plan in her hand speechlessly, pursed her lips, and no longer had a smile.

Zhou Wang Yamei couldn't hear the movement in the living room from the dining room, and thought they were having a conflict, so she brought her son out to see.

She only saw Gu Ning sitting there frowning with a document, and Li Xuewu was nothing, drinking tea.

"Zhidong, go upstairs and read by yourself, okay?"

"Okay."

Fu Zhidong obviously also discovered the mood of Auntie Ning, nodded after hearing his mother's words, carried the comic book in his hand, looked at his uncle, and went upstairs.

He knew that some things were not what he should understand at his age, and some words were not what he should hear at his age.

Li Xuewu looked at his sensible godson who went upstairs, and smiled at Zhou Wang Yamei.

Zhou Wang Yamei walked to Gu Ning's side and sat down, took Gu Ning's teacup and handed it over.

Gu Ning also felt the concern from her side, took the teacup, and handed the document to Zhou Wang Yamei.

During the days Zhou Wang Yamei was here, Gu Ning was used to chatting with Zhou Wang Yamei in the study at night.

Because of psychological treatment, she had no defense against Zhou Wang Yamei, and she communicated more with Zhou Wang Yamei about things that were inconvenient to tell her parents.

It was the same now, Zhou Wang Yamei was also Li Xuewu's psychologist, Gu Ning didn't avoid her.

Zhou Wang Yamei took the ten or so pages of the plan and looked at it, then looked at Gu Ning with a smile and said, "Just this?"

Gu Ning was slightly stunned, then looked at Zhou Wang Yamei.

Zhou Wang Yamei saw Gu Ning's surprised expression and smiled, put the plan away, and placed it beside Gu Ning's hand.

"Marriage has never been a matter for two people."

First, she set a thesis for Gu Ning on the issue of marriage, and then continued, "Unless you don't want to consider each other's families."

Gu Ning naturally wouldn't do that, whether it was her family or Li Xuewu's family, they were both relatively representative families of this era.

It wasn't that both parents were pursuing decency, but that at this time, they had to respect each other's habits and customs.

Including relatives and friends, they were all within the scope of respect.

Because not respecting these is not respecting yourself.

It sounds a bit awkward, but sometimes the truth is like this; the interpersonal relationship handling methods summarized by the world for thousands of years ultimately have their inevitability and practicality.

Take the flowers at the wedding, in ancient China there were red flowers and big horses, tassel flower sedan chairs, and in ancient Western weddings there were also elements of flowers.

In modern times, whether in the East or the West, this element is still retained at weddings, why?

It's just flowers, can't you get married without them?

Of course not, but this is the couple's wish for a new life, hoping that their future life will be sweeter than flowers.

It is also the blessing of relatives and friends for the newlyweds, wishing the newlyweds vitality like blooming flowers.

Because blooming represents maturity, the next step is to bear fruit, to conceive the next generation.

Many things seem unnecessary, but they are indeed needed in actual life.

Gu Ning now feels that the plan given by Li Xuewu is a bit cumbersome, but this is already Li Xuewu's intention of simplicity after trying his best to simplify the process and remove the red tape.

Gu Ning picked up the plan again and looked at it again.

"If it's daily necessities..."

Gu Ning thought about it and asked, "Are the luggage and clothes to be remade? Will it be very troublesome at home?"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and smiled, Gu Ning was a simple person, thinking everything was simple.

Zhou Wang Yamei leaned slightly toward Gu Ning and pointed to the back of this item, "It's not that you're making a lot, it's just that the luggage for the four seasons for the two of you needs to be made."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Ning's eyes and explained, "You two don't lack conditions, why be so particular about these, I actually think it's quite appropriate."

Gu Ning thought about it and said, "It's too troublesome, Auntie will be busy for a long time with these luggage and clothes."

"I'll think of a way."

Li Xuewu spoke at this time, "Mom also said she would make them, I'm not prepared to move that set in the backyard over, it will be just right to use when we go home to live in the future."

Gu Ning nodded, and looked at the guests to be entertained and the process.

The process is a particularly simple introduction and speeches by both parents, as well as speeches by the matchmaker and the witness.

What Gu Ning frowned at wasn't the luggage and clothes, but that she felt there were too many people invited.

Li Xuewu also understood what Gu Ning meant, leaned toward Gu Ning, and explained the names of the people in that column to Gu Ning part by part.

Gu Ning listened carefully, although most of them were heard for the first time, she also knew that these were the friends and connections Li Xuewu had made.

Just like Uncle Yu who was met during the spring outing last time, actually she didn't know him either, but Li Xuewu knew him.

Li Xuewu explained and said to Gu Ning, "Wedding, wedding, you and I get married, a ceremony witnessed by all relatives and friends, it would be rude not to invite them."

Gu Ning looked at the column of her colleagues, which only had a label and no specific names, raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Actually, my relationship with them is very ordinary."

"Haha, you invited them this time, so your relationship with them won't be ordinary anymore."
