"Oh! That's a good thing!"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu, then at Diliya, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the efficiency to be high enough."

"Hehe~"

Sha Zhu was perhaps too happy; the energy hadn't subsided yet, and being praised by Li Xuewu, he just kept giggling foolishly.

And Diliya was already too shy to bear it, so she rushed to the kitchen.

Pazile had obviously just received the news; his face was also happy for his sister and brother-in-law.

The two siblings came to the capital for Li Xuewu's sake; they were lonely and helpless in the frontier. If they had stayed to herd sheep, they could have lived, but how could that compare to this kind of life now?

Especially this sister, who was his only relative in this world. He could live however he wanted, but his sister was his concern.

Life in the capital was very good; they were well-fed and warmly clothed. Both he and his sister had jobs arranged by Wu Ge, and they had a foundation to settle down and establish their lives.

Later, his sister was matched by Wu Ge and married into the courtyard, which could be considered truly staying in the capital.

The dandelion that flew from the grassland under the Tianshan Mountains to the capital was also going to take root, blossom, and bear fruit.

Although this brother-in-law was older than him, he was a decent person who knew how to cherish others. He looked a bit reckless, but in reality, he was meticulous.

There was no need to mention the family situation. In this courtyard, in the capital, it couldn't be said to be the best, but it wasn't bad either. Especially since the family situation was simple, without parents-in-law to restrict her, the sister lived a comfortable life.

There were three large tiled rooms with an attached side room. Once the sister in the brother-in-law's family got married, the couple's life would be sufficient.

In this day and age, a cook, hey, was a symbol of being well-fed, the one with the most perks among the eight major positions.

Returning this time, seeing that his sister had gained a lot of weight, he knew she hadn't been hungry, and given the situation in the brother-in-law's family, she wouldn't be hungry.

Pazile's pursuit was actually very low; as long as his sister wasn't hungry, that was enough. He was also scared of hunger; on the grassland, when hungry, he even had to eat horse manure.

Now this life~

"Sit, don't be polite when you're home."

Li Xuewu pressed down Pazile, who was about to stand up, said a word to him with a smile, and then said to Sha Zhu: "A little drink tonight? Or wait for Biaozi to come back and drink together?"

"I'm fine with anything; I've already prepared the wine."

Sha Zhu was truly happy; he went to the hospital for a check-up in the morning and rushed back in the afternoon to hear the news.

His wife vomited once in the morning, but he didn't pay attention and went to work.

It was Qin Huairu who saw it when she returned. On one hand, she called Bang Geng, who was going to the factory to swim, to inform Sha Zhu, and on the other hand, she took Diliya to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital near the alley.

When he heard Bang Geng's incoherent explanation in the cafeteria, he was stunned. He also didn't expect that he was going to have a child, he was going to have a child!

As soon as he got home, he chased his wife to the retail department. No matter how he asked, his wife just hid from him with a blushing face.

After being teased and scolded by Yu Li, Sha Zhu finally felt reassured and jumped three feet high, almost hitting the roof of the retail department.

He laughed loudly and wanted to hug Diliya, but was pushed away by her.

Sha Zhu turned and ran away indifferently, running to the supply and marketing cooperative, saying he wanted to buy good wine to celebrate.

This person is crazy; he can't hide any good news. Pazile returned first, and he told Pazile immediately. Li Xuewu returned, and before he could even enter the room, he was going to be notified again.

In this afternoon, everyone in the Sihe Academy knew that Sha Zhu's wife was pregnant, and even the neighbors knew almost everything. Maybe only the mice in the hole didn't know; they hadn't woken up during the day.

"Oh! Now that you mention it, I remember."

Sha Zhu slapped his thigh when he said this, waved his hand at Li Xuewu and the other, and said: "I was too busy being happy; I have to be the cook today."

"Don't go!"

When he went out, he smiled at his brother-in-law, but didn't forget to tell Li Xuewu not to leave. He knew that Li Xuewu returned every week to eat with his family.

Yu Shui, who came in from outside, rolled her eyes helplessly seeing her brother being so scatterbrained.

As his sister, she was naturally notified of this good news by her brother the first time she returned.

At first, she was happy for her brother and sister-in-law, but seeing him tell everyone he caught, she was also a bit helpless.

"Off work?"

"Off work early."

Yu Shui smiled at Pazile and also answered Li Xuewu's greeting.

She hadn't met Pazile many times and wasn't very familiar with him, but because of her sister-in-law, she was very polite to him.

As for Li Xuewu, they were as familiar as could be, so she spoke very casually.

At this moment, she entered the room, took a stool, sat by the wall, crossed her legs, and complained to Li Xuewu: "Aren't they conducting an investigation? Our department is also considered a disaster area, and they say they want to investigate strictly."

"What does it have to do with you?"

Li Xuewu nodded to Shen Guodong, who was passing by the window and greeting him, while talking to Yu Shui.

"The textile factory is all female comrades; what can they find out? You can't say you are all bourgeoisie."

"It's precisely because they are all female comrades that it's not good~"

Yu Shui curled her lips and said: "They are just looking for trouble when they have nothing to do."

After finishing, she leaned against the wall and explained to Li Xuewu with a bored face: "I'm fine, it's just that I get sleepy as soon as I hear those studies they organize, and I get scolded as soon as I doze off."

"Hehe, it's asking you to strengthen your political study."

Li Xuewu said with a light laugh. Seeing Shen Guodong and the others enter the room one after another, he took out cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to them to share.

Yu Shui hated these people smoking. Seeing Li Xuewu take the initiative to distribute cigarettes, she couldn't help but hum and stood up to go to the kitchen.

It's just that I don't know if this hum was dissatisfaction with Li Xuewu distributing cigarettes, or dissatisfaction with Li Xuewu's answer just now.

She also unconsciously wanted to complain to Li Xuewu about her troubles, but she didn't get a positive reply or comforting words from Li Xuewu.

Watching her walk out the door, Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention and chatted with Shen Guodong and the others sitting by the kang about the recent situation.

In Shen Guodong's words, it's the same as it was. The streets are very chaotic, especially the young people, who shout slogans at every turn.

Sometimes he was collecting scrap there, and suddenly he was startled by the slogan shouting behind him. Those who didn't know would have thought they had met a mental patient.

There was no danger; who the hell would bother with a scrap collector? The key was that he was wearing a set of rags, so ragged that it was home.

"I've collected a lot of books and paper recently, in bundles and bundles. When I can't collect them all, people just ask me to move them away; they don't want money."

Shen Guodong took turns with a few boys to go to the entrance to wash up, and at the same time went to the east room to change his clothes, carefully hanging up his work clothes.

Those work clothes were specially pieced together by Yu Li and the others with patches, just like a monk's robe, colorful and green. They looked shabby, but in reality, they were washed clean, sturdy to wear, and dirt-resistant.

When he returned, Shen Guodong continued: "Many families are afraid of accidents. They don't even look at what's inside the packed boxes of books; they just ask me to move them away quickly, only asking not to make it public."

He also didn't know what happened to this world; having books had become a crime.

Li Xuewu saw the boys nodding in agreement with Shen Guodong's words, and some even said they pulled seventeen or eighteen carts of books from a certain unit in one day.

"Ye Ye Erye, I have to trouble you."

Li Xuewu looked at Ye Ye Erye Ye and said: "If these books are destroyed directly, I'm afraid it would be a waste. Please take more trouble, go through the useful ones, and I will collect them later."

"I've thought about it."

Ye Ye Erye Ye tapped the tobacco pouch in his hand, signaled to the boys, and said: "After dinner tonight, everyone go to the west room to sort them out. A portion has already been cleared out. Don't say, there are really good things."

Li Xuewu knew that the panic at this time was a disaster for some families, and the root of the disaster was these books.

Burning them couldn't finish them, and it was easy to be discovered. Selling them or giving them away was the safest way.

Who is the safest to sell to now? Of course, it's the scrap collector. Selling them as waste, what can they do to them?

This is also the reason why Li Xuewu asked them to hang that sign at the retail department; maybe they could pick up some leaks.

Ye Ye Erye held the tobacco pipe in his hand and told Li Xuewu about some books, saying they were old versions with preservation value, or some useful knowledge readers were also kept.

Li Xuewu didn't understand either, but just told Ye Ye Erye Ye that he had enough capital to store them in terms of books, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, and asked Ye Ye Erye Ye to take trouble not to have any omissions.

Ye Ye Erye Ye was an old man and naturally understood Li Xuewu's intention, so he nodded and agreed.

Speaking of antiques, Ye Ye Erye Ye also mentioned the one who came last time, who had been wandering around here recently, obviously intending something.

Old Biaozi had looked for him several times, but he had dodged them.

Perhaps Old Biaozi was too fierce, and that person was also afraid of being beaten, so he didn't dare to go near him.

It's just that recently, more people have come to the retail department to sell these antiques, all hesitating because it's heartbreaking to sell them as scrap.

Ye Ye Erye Ye did see good things, but he didn't break the rules set by Li Xuewu and watched that person take the things away.

In fact, these things are eye-catching in large households. You live in a large mansion, live in a building, have a good job, have been rich in the family before, or have an old foundation, or even love this. Who in the neighborhood doesn't know?

Now those unlucky children in the schools are gathering together, chasing this and hitting that, and even adults dare not manage them.

"Just saying, we have them in our courtyard too."

I don't know when Yu Shui walked back, leaned against the door, and said to Li Xuewu: "Liu Guangfu in the back courtyard, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jie Di in the front courtyard, have all become leaders, playing at rebellion at home recently."

"Heh~"

Li Xuewu laughed lightly. He knew it would be like this. This thing couldn't be prevented. If it were prevented, wouldn't it become a target?

What is called water cannot be splashed in, needles cannot be inserted in; is your family so special?

But what should come will come, and what should disappear will disappear. How much can children achieve?

"How is Third Master's 'illness'?"

Li Xuewu seemed to have remembered something, looked at Yu Shui and asked: "It's so serious, why did I see him at work again on Tuesday?"

"Humph humph~ You knew it and still asked me~"

Yu Shui was also smart and naturally knew what Li Xuewu's question meant. At this moment, she also gave a cold hum.

Shen Guodong sat on the side and laughed "chi chi": "Third Master's illness in the courtyard is selective. He only gets sick when he is at home, and only when he has nothing to do."

"It's quite strange~"

Yang Erhai'er walked in wiping his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't delay fishing. You say it's strange or not."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone in the room laughed when they saw Yang Erhai'er and the others acting strangely, thinking in their hearts that this Third Master was really good at performing, just for the sake of face, he made such a scene.

Yu Li stood in the kitchen corridor and was also full of helplessness. She was also deceived, really thinking Third Master was sick. For this matter, she was sad for a whole night.

Now that I think about it, their family, one after another, is really not worth it.

Yu Shui pursed her lips and smiled, explaining to Li Xuewu: "Yan Jiekuang said that he is in charge of their family now, his mother doesn't care about things, his father's brain is not easy to use, his brother is not at home, his second brother is sick, and he asked people in the courtyard to find him if they have anything."

"Hmm, sounds like something a man would say."

"Listen to me finish~"

Yu Shui said amusedly: "As soon as he finished speaking, First Master went to ask him for electricity bills, and he turned around and said this matter was not his business, and he had to find his father~"

"Heh~ Unlucky child~"

Shen Guodong curled his lips in disdain and said: "You haven't seen anything more strange. The other day I came back at noon and saw Liu Guangfu and a group of children interrogating the City God and the City God's wife."

"Who?!"

Grandfather sat on the kang and didn't hear clearly for a while, but felt something was wrong, so he asked: "Whose grandfather and whose grandmother?"

"Hehehe~"

Shen Guodong was also amused while saying it. He smoked and explained while laughing: "Just the City God Temple not far from our alley. They dragged the City God and the City God's wife out of the temple, put paper hats on them, and shouted slogans to interrogate them."

"Hiss~!"

Everyone was also curious when they heard it, but they couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ye Ye Erye shook his head helplessly, looked at Grandfather, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

In their hearts, they also felt wronged for this pair of bitter gods. Who did they provoke? Sitting there as mud lumps was a mistake.

This small temple is really something. Li Xuewu had heard of it before. He didn't know if it was effective, but it was worshipped by surrounding residents.

At this time, they pay attention to this. If there are old people in the family who have passed away, they have to go to the City God's side, and the City God will arrange for them to go down.

To prevent the elderly from suffering, descendants will give the City God some benefits, which is a custom.

Maybe these unlucky children felt that the City God was too much, and they dared to do business here, so they dragged them out to bask in the sun.

Sure enough, man can conquer nature. Mud Bodhisattvas cannot withstand the iron fist of justice after all.

While everyone was laughing and talking, Sha Zhu had already prepared the dishes in the kitchen. Li Xuewu said he was going to see his family, stood up, and left the room.

Having agreed to wait for Old Biaozi, Li Xuewu thought about driving to wait for Old Biaozi to come back and eat together.

Just as he walked out of the screen door, he saw a large group of half-grown children rushing past, shouting.

Before Li Xuewu could take a step toward the hanging flower gate, a figure rushed in from the entrance, as fast as lightning, like a wild dog off the leash.

Li Xuewu saw someone stepping on light work to enter, raised his hand, and grabbed the boy who wanted to rush in one step ahead of him.

"Ouch!"

Before Li Xuewu could speak, the other party started shouting first.

When the boy looked up and saw it was Li Xuewu, the scolding he was about to shout was swallowed back.

"Wu... Wu Ge..."

"Stand straight."

Li Xuewu let go of Liu Guangfu's neck and asked with a frown: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I... I..."

Liu Guangfu was also a bit scared at this moment. If he had bumped into this fierce god, he would have been skinned on the spot.

"I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner!"

After being stuck for a while, Liu Guangfu finally found such a reason, a barely acceptable reason.

Li Xuewu looked at Liu Guangfu, seeing him wearing a sailor shirt, wide-leg green training pants, and a metal-buckle leather belt around his waist...

This isn't the stuff of the Public Security Brigade, this kid is fast enough.

"You know you've entered the courtyard."

Li Xuewu pointed at him with a frown and said: "I won't say anything if you fly outside, but you have to look like you're going home when you enter the courtyard. If you bump into someone, can you live with it in your heart?"

Speaking, he signaled to Third Master sitting next to the hanging flower gate and said: "These old arms and legs, and the brain is not easy to use. If you bump into him again, are you going to support him in his old age?"

Liu Guangfu glanced at Third Master, who was sick again. He didn't say anything, but he understood in his heart. If he really bumped into Third Master, he would lie in his own house and blackmail him.

However, seeing the clothes on himself, he couldn't help but raise his head again, wanting to say he wasn't afraid of blackmail.

But seeing the white-plus-black suit Li Xuewu was wearing, for some reason, he lost the confidence to argue.

Maybe it was because Li Xuewu's hand was dangling on the holster.

He wasn't afraid of anyone retaliating against him, but he was afraid that he wouldn't have the chance to retaliate back. Li Erbala would definitely not give him the chance to retaliate.

"I know, I won't do it next time."

He promised very readily, thinking about running away from Li Xuewu's hands early and going home for dinner early.

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked: "Did you join this at school?"

After speaking, he reached out and stretched the red cloth on Liu Guangfu's arm, drooping his eyelids and saying: "If you have the ability, use it outside, let everyone in the courtyard say you are awesome. If you use it on people in the courtyard, everyone will say you are stupid."

Liu Guangfu was stunned by Li Xuewu's words, and then his face turned red. He wanted to refute Li Xuewu, but damn, thinking about it, this seemed right, just not very comfortable to hear.

Of course, Li Erbala is like this. Saying these things to himself is also because he is awesome. He didn't see Li Erbala take the initiative to talk to himself before.

Once he thought this way, he seemed to feel much more comfortable in his heart. It turned out that he was really awesome, making Li Erbala look up to him.

Hey, he was just complacent, but in front of his eyes, for some reason, only Third Master was left looking at him with a silly smile.

"Laugh at your mother's hair! Laugh!"

Liu Guangfu curled his lips and scolded, then stepped into the hanging flower gate and walked quickly to the back courtyard.

And Yan Fugui, who was sitting at the entrance of the hanging flower gate, turned pale. He knew that the unlucky child of the Liu family thought he was stupid and didn't know he was scolding people.

Now he wasn't stupid yet and could know he was scolded. If he were really stupid, wouldn't he be bullied to death?

These days he was addicted to playing crazy and stupid, not only to relieve the embarrassment in his family but also to see who in the courtyard was a two-faced person.

It's just that the two-faced people just ignored him, and no one scolded him for his mother's hair.

The key is that Yan Fugui also taught Liu Guangfu; he is his teacher!

This student was taught well, and he was taught to scold the teacher.

Hey! He was still lucky not to be beaten.

In Yan Fugui's own words, he was born in a small landlord family, not an enemy, but an object to be united.

But this has to be said to the working group in the school. To these successors, who cares if you are an object that can be united? What they pay attention to is that it is reasonable to engage you.

"Oh, Third Master, not going home for dinner?"

Li Xuewu walked out of the house with keys in his hand, greeted Third Master, whose face was not quite right, and didn't stop his steps.

Yan Fugui was not in the mood to pay attention to Li Xuewu. He lowered his head and didn't speak as if he were pretending to be stupid. That sentence about his mother's hair was still echoing in his mind.

Because of this sentence, he couldn't laugh, fearing that someone would give him another sentence.

A man in his forties, scolded by a hairy child, how shameful it is to say it out.

And after Li Xuewu left, Qin Huairu came out of the courtyard again. Seeing him sitting there with his head down, she also gave him a greeting.

"Oh, Third Master, why didn't you laugh today~"

Yan Fugui lowered his head and twitched the corners of his mouth. He seriously suspected that these two were doing it on purpose, seeing that he was pretending to be crazy and stupid.

But now he didn't have the face to stand up and theorize with Qin Huairu, so he could only let the other party humiliate him.

Behind Qin Huairu was Qin Jingru, who was also looking at Third Master sitting there and asking her sister strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Mental."

Qin Huairu really dared to say it. Just as she walked out of the hanging flower gate, she said to her sister: "Fell down by himself, broke his brain. Don't pay attention to whatever he says. Everyone says that it's hard for the children of the Yan family to find partners."

"Is that so~"

The conversation between the Qin sisters was sent to Yan Fugui's ears without missing a word, and Yan Fugui, who was sitting at the entrance, also thought of this problem.

The eldest was indifferent, already married. Even if the second son's leg had a problem, he still had to marry a wife.

What about the third and fourth? Isn't it the same to find a partner!

Because of his pretending to be crazy and stupid, he delayed the children, this can...

Yan Fugui wanted to persist, but he couldn't persist in this, especially if this word spread, the school job would be gone.

Thinking of this, Yan Fugui hurriedly carried the stool and went home, not caring who teased him later.

People in this courtyard are all shrewd. He pretends to be confused here every day. One or two days is fine, but who has the leisure to play with him for a long time?

At first, he also deceived his own family, but when his wife said she wanted to pour medicine for him, he dodged it. He could pretend to be sick, but if he drank medicine and got sick, it would be troublesome.

He couldn't do things that bring trouble upon himself.

When the Qin sisters returned from outside, the figure of Third Master was no longer at the entrance of the hanging flower gate. The sisters smiled at each other, pursed their lips, and went to the back.

If you want to grind someone, you have to grind them. Li Xuewu told her. Responding to Third Master every day and threatening him from time to time, no one can persist.

He just knew he was in the wrong and was playing a rogue here, not wanting to apologize to Qin Huairu, and not wanting people in the courtyard to look down on him.

What's more serious is that he thought he had been forced into this by Qin Huairu, and people in the courtyard with a little sympathy should condemn Qin Huairu.

If he could force Qin Huairu to apologize to him, or even pay money, that would be even better.

Hey, who could have thought that this Qin Huairu was as difficult to deal with as a piece of meat, and he couldn't hold on and was the first to be defeated.

People in this courtyard are also like this. No one spoke for him, and no one stood up for him.

The words condemning Qin Huairu were just casually said by those women, but when they saw Qin Huairu, these women were more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Yan Fugui also sighed that people's hearts are not ancient, the world is declining, and there are no good people in this courtyard.

After returning home, he saw that his youngest son hadn't returned yet, so he asked his wife: "Where is Jiekuang?"

"Said there is an activity."

Third Master's wife replied, but looked over and asked: "Not pretending anymore?"

"Pretending my ass, people have seen it."

Yan Fugui sighed and said: "Not only was I played like a monkey, but I was also scolded. It's that... forget it~"

Waving his hand, Yan Fugui was too lazy to talk about the monkey in the back courtyard. These days, he was lawless, and he didn't know what kind of trouble he was making outside.

Seeing her husband like this, Third Master's wife didn't know what was wrong, so she asked: "Eating?"

"Eat, don't wait for him."

After finishing, he glanced at his second son lying in the inner room and sighed for no reason.

Since he hit him, the father and son hadn't spoken again. It should be said that since Yan Jiefang woke up, he hadn't spoken again, always half-dead like this.

The atmosphere in the family was very oppressive, as if everything was shrouded on the head, and as if everything was in a dream.

The eldest was still on the mountain, the second's leg was the same as before, the third and fourth were all at school, and the whole family was still the same as before.

But looking at it now, it's different. The eldest heard about the family's affairs and didn't mean to return at all. The eldest daughter-in-law only stayed in the room every day and didn't come out.

The second son lay at home like a vegetable every day without speaking, and the third and fourth were no longer at school, making trouble every day.

They didn't understand the things the two children were making trouble about, Yan Fugui only knew it was scary.

Primary school was okay. I heard that middle school and university were more chaotic. Just look at the opposite door, even the eldest and third of the Li family had hidden away.

Thinking of the opposite door, Yan Fugui couldn't help but sigh again. Before, they all compared their lives, but now it's good. Either the family is broken, the wife is separated from the children, or they are far away from home. In this day and age, hey~!

Li Xuewu returned less than an hour later than Old Biaozi. When he entered the room, they had all finished eating, leaving only Old Biaozi and a few others of similar age waiting.

"Wash hands."

Yu Li poured water for washing hands and face and found a towel for wiping hands.

The kang table had been placed on the kang in the west room, waiting for Li Xuewu to return for dinner.

It was because Pazile returned today, Sha Zhu's family had happy events, and because everyone hadn't gathered for a long time, there was a situation where he waited for him, and he waited for him.

"Looking at the moon, is it going to rain?"

Li Xuewu got on the kang, let Sha Zhu pour him wine, and looked at his face, as if he had just had a drink.

He Yu Shui sat by the desk. Seeing that the cups they used were not big, she didn't say anything.

It's rare to be happy once, so let her brother vent.

"It doesn't matter if it rains. Nothing is exposed to the sky; it's all in the warehouse."

Old Biaozi ate a peanut, held the wine glass and clinked it with everyone, and then said: "This summer rain won't last long. It will be sunny every day. It's just that some roads are not easy to walk."

Speaking, he looked outside from the west window, turned his body back, and said: "Nothing, you don't have to go up the mountain these two days."

"I'm going up the mountain on Monday, and Pazile has to go too."

Li Xuewu ate a piece of stir-fried meat, signaled to Pazile sitting opposite, and said: "The people from the Public Security Brigade are going up the mountain for training. Pazile has been promoted to deputy brigade commander and has to lead the training."

"Whoa! It's three happy events in one!"

Sha Zhu smiled and toasted his brother-in-law, and also said congratulations.

Pazile was a cautious person. Li Xuewu said this, otherwise he wouldn't have said it until the news landed.

And Diliya, standing outside the door, heard that her eldest brother had made progress, and was also very happy, pursing her lips, looking at her eldest brother with bright eyes.

The men on the kang were drinking and laughing, while Ye Ye Erye and Grandfather in the west room had already started sorting books with the boys.

In fact, it's simple. The large dining table is wiped clean. There are those responsible for moving books into the room, those responsible for checking books, and those responsible for re-sorting. Those to be kept are placed in one box, and those not wanted are placed in one box.

Except that the books are heavy and it's tiring to flip through them, there's nothing else.

At the dinner table, Li Xuewu just reminisced with Pazile and the others, and occasionally talked about the recycling station with Old Biaozi.

The dinner party didn't break up until after ten o'clock at night. By the time Li Xuewu returned to the back courtyard, Gu Ning and Li Shu were asleep.

It was because his entering the room woke Gu Ning up, and after Li Xuewu washed up and got on the kang, Gu Ning asked him softly: "Giving birth is very hard, right?"

"I don't know about that."

Li Xuewu lay down, turned to look at Gu Ning, and asked: "What? Worried? Or heard something from someone?"

"No~"

Gu Ning turned over, lay flat, and looked at the ceiling without speaking.

Li Xuewu seemed to understand something, leaned over to Gu Ning, looked at her, and asked: "Did Mom ask you? Or what?"

"Hmm."

Gu Ning paused and said: "Asked if I had any reaction, said to pay attention to some, don't get tired."

"Normal, old people~"

Li Xuewu held Gu Ning's hand and said: "They are all hoping we are well, don't take it to heart."

Gu Ning didn't speak, just took the initiative to turn over and lie on Li Xuewu's arm.

Li Xuewu looked at her and asked with a smile: "Or maybe you're envious? Then let's have a little brother for Li Shu?"

Gu Ning reached out and pinched Li Xuewu hard. Li Xuewu "understood" and reached out to untie his clothes.

Seeing him wanting to play bad, Gu Ning grabbed his clothes hard, but was pressed down by him.

Afraid that the sleeping Li Shu would hear, Gu Ning wanted to use force but didn't dare to. Finally, she gave up and agreed to Li Xuewu's opinion.

The sleeping Li Shu didn't know that her parents had made such a big decision without her knowledge.

On Sunday, when Li Xuewu finished breakfast and walked out with car keys, he saw that yesterday's "little whirlwind" was still "grass-flying" today.

The words Li Xuewu said to him yesterday were all in vain. Liu Guangfu was still moving his two legs tightly, wearing that sailor shirt that looked like it was rented, holding a grip strengthener in his hand, and flew out of the hanging flower gate without his feet touching the ground.

Maybe he felt that as long as he ran fast, Li Xuewu couldn't control him.

Li Xuewu didn't want to control him, but was afraid that these boys would be reckless and bump into his family.

Whether it was his mother Liu Yin, his eldest sister-in-law Zhao Yafang, or the old lady and others, if a young man bumped into them, wouldn't it take their lives?

Looking at the back courtyard with a frown, Li Xuewu didn't say much. In the morning, his mother had already told the family to be careful about people coming in and out of the courtyard.

Like the streets, now they don't go out if they can, young people are like crazy.

By the time Li Xuewu drove to the club, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning.

It wasn't that the road had become longer, but he took a detour, brought some meat supplies, and listened to a segment of Peking Opera.

Don't say, traditional art is really powerful. After listening, the whole body is comfortable, but it's a bit hard. It is recommended that everyone should not try it easily.

I don't know where Sister Lou got the billiard table. As soon as Li Xuewu entered the courtyard, he heard Huang Gan standing on the guest building between the front gate and the west gate greeting him.

Li Xuewu talked to Zhao Lao Si for a while, then entered the guest building here, but didn't know when a few billiard tables were placed here, surrounded by sofas and tea tables.

The second floor was the same. Huang Gan, who had just greeted Li Xuewu, was playing with Ma Jun and the others.

And at another table, Li Xuewu saw Ou Xin, Pei Pei, and a few other girls he had seen last time playing lively.

Ou Xin was the first to see Li Xuewu, smiled sweetly, and greeted Li Xuewu.

"Wu Ge~"

"Hehe~"

Li Xuewu nodded to Ou Xin and the others while walking over to examine the furnishings in the room.

Seeing Huang Gan sticking his butt out and gesturing with a billiard cue, he couldn't help but laugh and say: "Even if you wear a dragon robe, you don't look like a crown prince."

Huang Gan didn't pay attention to Li Xuewu's sarcasm and hit a shot with gestures.

He didn't play this kind of thing as well as table tennis; it was purely for fun.

Those who played well downstairs were already playing, and because they had to run up and down the stairs, and because everyone tacitly used the upstairs as a place for conversation, no one came up to play here.

There were more than sixty members in total. How much equipment could they use? Now there are more people in the training center, and the number of people in the underground shooting training ground is also okay.

"Billiards! Can you play~"

Huang Gan retorted Li Xuewu's sarcasm, then signaled to Ao Zhongliang and explained: "Zhongliang found it from their unit's warehouse and said it was donated to us for free."

Speaking, after Ma Jun finished a shot, he awkwardly stuck his butt out and aimed.

Li Xuewu looked at Ao Zhongliang, nodded with a smile, and then greeted the waiter at the door, asking for a pot of flower tea.

"Why didn't you ask for water, not thirsty?"

"Just arrived."

Ao Zhongliang saw Li Xuewu talking to him, so he smiled and replied, and at the same time picked up a billiard cue hanging on the wall and handed one to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu took it and looked at it. It was really a good cue. The grip was actually cowhide.

It's not to say that cowhide is a good cue, but this processing technology is not very convenient in the country, after all, we have to be diligent and thrifty.

"Our warehouse manager said it was from the building received before, and it had been left in the warehouse to collect dust."

Ao Zhongliang explained to Li Xuewu with a smile, and then said: "I looked at it when I went back from here that day, it's just right to put it here, everyone can play together."

Li Xuewu looked at him and smiled without speaking, but took the billiard cue, bowed slightly, supported the cue with one hand, held the cue with the other, gestured naturally, and pushed lightly, hitting the ball out.

"Pretty good."

Li Xuewu just tried it and didn't go to the table to play. He put the cue back on the wall and signaled the waiter to put the teapot and cups on the tea table.

Then he walked to the tea table, sat on the sofa, and started pouring tea.

Huang Gan was perhaps anxious and hit the ball too hard, "bang", hitting the ball out of the table, causing Ma Jun and the others and the girls over there to laugh loudly.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny!"

Huang Gan was a bit annoyed and fought with a few people, then picked up the billiard ball on the floor, threw it on the table, walked over, took the cup on the tea table, and drank it in one gulp.

"Again!"

He was a stinky chess player with a big addiction. Fortunately, he was half a catty with Ma Jun, so don't laugh at anyone.

Zhong Jingxue watched for a while and also took a billiard cue and called Pei Pei to play together.

Li Xuewu discovered it when he came in. The girl named Pei Pei played very well, and her posture was quite standard, but he didn't know where she learned it.

At this time, there were not many places to play billiards, but many large clubs had them.

The four of them brought five girls, obviously not wanting to leave Li Xuewu behind.

And Ou Xin saw Li Xuewu sit down, laughed and played with the girls over there for a while, and brought another girl over to sit on the sofa next to Li Xuewu.

Ao Zhongliang had already followed and sat down when Li Xuewu poured tea. Seeing Ou Xin and another girl sit over, he didn't pay much attention.

"I found the things you asked me to find last time. The quantity is not large. The Import and Export Corporation took away most of them, and the rest are now allocated to the local area."

Ao Zhongliang said the content set last time, and at the same time hid the content that both of them knew in his words.

Li Xuewu didn't speak, holding the teacup and drinking tea. Ou Xin beside him also learned Li Xuewu's sitting posture and demeanor, as if she were a primary school student.

The girl sitting on the other side of Ou Xin smiled and looked at him, then looked at Li Xuewu.

She came for the first time. She heard from Ou Xin that there was a big shot here and asked her not to talk nonsense.

And now looking at the "big shot", he doesn't seem very big. Just looking at his age, he is not very old.

But hearing the content of their conversation at this moment, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart.

She knew who Huang Gan and Ma Jun were. Those who could joke with Huang Gan, and Huang Gan could joke with him, basically had similar identities.

Now looking at this younger and fierce character, he seems to have more demeanor than Huang Gan and the others.

They are all used to playing with Huang Gan and these people, so they naturally know when they can speak and when they cannot speak when they are brought out to this kind of occasion.
