Chapter 812: Sunshine

Of course, Li Xuewu had thought about it; the education of the children was a major issue.

These adults could endure the loneliness of the mountain, but they couldn't endure not having children!

With over twenty large families, there might be happy events every year and children one after another.

They were all well-matched families of equal social status, and they were partners bound together; in a dozen years, they could truly give birth to an entire natural village.

With so many children, their education could not be left to chance.

As it happened, there were actually two renowned teachers on the mountain!

Ran Qiuye's parents were on the mountain, and supporting a small schoolhouse would be no problem.

Back when he was at the inverted-seat room, Old Biaozi had already said that Zhao Youkuan had invited the Ye Ye Erye away; perhaps he himself would have to repay a favor.

When he first invited Zhao Youkuan to mount that piece of calligraphy for him, it was agreed that he would be paid for his hard work.

But as luck would have it, he wasn't home at the time, and after mounting the calligraphy, this old cunning fox actually left without taking the money.

He had been played, and he considered this favor debt acknowledged.

Some time ago, Biaozi had said that something seemed to have happened in Zhao Youkuan's family; his grandson and granddaughter-in-law had both been suspended from their middle school jobs and returned home. (See Volume 2, Chapter 64)

Li Xuewu had been waiting for him to come and find him to repay this favor debt; he didn't expect this old man to be so patient, wanting to make a big catch.

Now, he probably couldn't hold on anymore; not to mention his job, even his life might be at risk. Discussing this with the Ye Ye Erye was likely the reason.

If it really was this matter, Li Xuewu could push the boat with the current and arrange it; he could just form a school ranging from primary to middle school with Ran Qiuye's parents.

With residential, medical, educational, and other convenient facilities on the mountain, it would be more than enough for these people to wait until the clouds parted to see the moon.

Besides, they weren't idle either. Letting Dou Yaozu undertake this project was not just to build the housing quickly, but also to build an office area.

There were elites among these families; they just lacked a place to put their skills to use, which didn't mean their business thinking and abilities were gone.

Now, the people from those five families were working as Li Xuewu's "brain trust," and latecomers like Ma Jie would also participate in the brain trust's work.

Li Xuewu would give these elites in the families space to display their talents, serving as his brain trust and also as a reference institution for when Following Lou Jie arrived in Hong Kong.

Now, the communication station on the mountain received messages sent from Hong Kong every day, providing the brain trust with text materials to form an understanding of the business environment in Hong Kong.

In the future, Following Lou Jie would have a management team in Hong Kong, and another policy research team on the mainland.

With both approaches, they would firmly control the direction of successful development.

Although the brain trust personnel did not work in Hong Kong, the work they did and the strategies they devised would influence the development and operation of the Hong Kong company.

The Hong Kong side would also provide feedback on implementation; they were also part of the Hong Kong company, just working on Mount Miyun.

Capital was separated from investors, the think tank was separated from executors, and managers were separated from capital and projects.

All the separated organizations were connected through peripheral organizations containing certain mysterious relationships, forming a protection and execution mechanism.

Those who used their brains wouldn't make decisions, those who made decisions wouldn't do the execution, and those who did the execution didn't need to use their brains—this was the control scheme Li Xuewu designed for the Hong Kong team so they wouldn't be directly influenced by him.

Following Lou Jie was the only key in these schemes, and he was the one using the key.

"Not many people today."

Li Xuewu walked into the restaurant and found only seven or eight tables occupied, and one of them was Mai Qinglan's family.

He greeted a few tables and smiled while talking about his job transfer; having not been here for over a month, they naturally knew what he had been doing.

Especially since Wang Xiaoqin had disappeared with him, Huang Gan's loose mouth had already spread the news.

"They are all planning on making you treat them; this counts as a big happy event."

Huang Gan walked over from the kitchen side, winked at Li Xuewu, and said, "I think hot pot is very appropriate."

"That will have to wait for Sister Wang."

Li Xuewu turned around and scanned the room, finding that Wang Xiaoqin and the others were not there, so he smiled and said, "What a pity, can't eat it."

"Who said that!"

Huang Gan pulled Li Xuewu's shoulder and said, "It's already agreed that we'll have a dinner party tonight. Everyone is back, which counts as a welcome for you. You can't escape this hot pot!"

"A welcome for us, and I have to pay for it!"

Li Xuewu curled his lip and said, "Is this a welcome, or are you guys trying to take advantage of me? ~"

"That's being too distant!"

Huang Gan laughed and said, "Including Sister Wang, you are the one in charge now. You're a deputy regimental-level cadre, and you're still in our Garrison District; that's quite something."

After finishing, he looked at the crowd and incited them, saying, "Don't you all think he should treat us?!"

"Hehe~ Deputy Regimental Commander Li~"

Zhou Zhengquan said jokingly with a hint of envy, "This kid has been calculating against you for a long time. He was very afraid you wouldn't come today, so he agreed in advance to ambush you."

"Damn~"

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan with amusement and said, "I was just wondering why he asked me to go to the detention center today."

After finishing, he patted Huang Gan's shoulder and said, "Fine, a gentleman's revenge is not too late in three years. I'll remember this hot pot on your account today."

"We'll talk about things three years from now when the time comes~!"

Huang Gan looked fearless and said to the crowd, "For the sake of the organization's interests, I've gone all out. We are definitely eating this hot pot!"

"Good~~~"

There were only a few tables in the restaurant, and when everyone started making a fuss, it became lively.

Especially when Li Xuewu promised that there would be enough beef and mutton for everyone today, they let out enthusiastic cheers.

Today was Sunday, and they could bring their families. Eating hot pot and watching a movie counted as celebrating the New Year.

There were no ordinary people here, but their families were not wealthy. It was impossible to eat meat casually, and their ranks weren't high enough.

Especially beef and mutton; these were rare and hard to come by. Unless you went to a mutton restaurant like Donglaishun, it would be fine, but spending two or three yuan on a meal would make one's heart ache.

Now it was fine; Li Xuewu was being kind, and there was enough beef and mutton. How could they hold back?

Regardless of where Li Xuewu got the meat, they only needed to know that this person was righteous.

They all had an idea of what the club was about. The two people surnamed Lou, father and daughter, were in charge of the club's management office. If anyone said there was no relationship with Li Xuewu here, no one would believe it.

A hot pot meal wouldn't make anyone poor, but inviting everyone and their families to eat hot pot was a big deal.

There must be a reason for the Lou family in this, and everyone knew it like a mirror.

Huang Gan was Li Xuewu's die-hard friend, his iron brother. He wouldn't mess around with Li Xuewu for hot pot without being sure; if things went wrong, he would be the one to take the fall.

Today's joke might have been discussed by the two of them. They collectively accepted the favor, and sooner or later, they would have to repay it.

Even if they didn't repay Li Xuewu, they would have to repay the Lou family or the club.

Do you think Li Xuewu dared to leave for a month without worrying that his various industries would have problems?

Why did he dare to seal the properties of the five families including the Lou family?

Those seals were stamped with many big red official seals.

Why did he dare to help Old Biaozi rescue his father-in-law, help Ran Qiuye rescue her parents, and help various people settle disputes?

This was the big net Li Xuewu plotted. Once he moved, others on the net moved too. If someone moved against him, others on the net would help him.

This big net would get bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger, and could even be passed down through generations.

Because he was certain that the children of these people in the club today would definitely enter this net.

Outsiders certainly couldn't see this net, but they could feel their unity and momentum.

Father Mai glanced at the liveliness on Li Xuewu's side, turned his head back, and asked his daughter, "Looking at it this way, this place is safer than the First Detention Center."

Mai Qinglan took a bite of rice, chewed slowly, and after glancing at Li Xuewu's side, replied to her parents, "He said that this place is not open to the public; it's membership-based."

"I know."

Father Mai nodded and said, "In 1936, I followed your master to perform at a private party in Dongjiaomin Lane. That place was the kind of venue you mentioned."

"It was also membership-based, all foreigners and compradors."

Father Mai shook his head and said, "Very high-class, just like here. The guards at the door were all holding guns."

They saw it when they came in; there were guards standing at the door, also wearing uniforms, standing straight in the guard booth.

Mai Qinglan glanced at the few tables over there and whispered to her father, "The members here are all from the powerful department system, and the lowest-ranking ones are deputy division-level cadres."

"Is that so~!"

Father Mai widened his eyes in surprise, his chopsticks trembled, he secretly glanced at the liveliness over there again, turned his head back, frowned, and asked, "Did we cause trouble for our son-in-law?"

Mai Qinglan's understanding of this side was just learned from Li Wenbiao's mouth, and she only knew the general idea.

Because he had things to do in the morning, Li Wenbiao just settled them in and left.

It was raining today, and there was nothing to do at home, so he told Mai Qinglan to spend more time with her parents, and he would come to pick her up later.

Mai Qinglan guessed that he might have gone to find that woman, but she didn't make a scene or ask, just pretending not to know.

The place arranged for her parents was a small courtyard that had just been renovated, clearly with the atmosphere of a large mansion; perhaps a very high-ranking official lived here before.

And as the address of the club, the renovated part also brought them huge shock and psychological pressure.

Yu Li, who settled them in, also said that living here was temporary, mainly for safety, and they could return home to live when it was appropriate later.

If Li Xuewu said this, they would believe it, but when Yu Li said it, they just listened to it as polite words.

It was likely they would spend their old age here. Although the arranged side room wasn't very big, it was enough for living.

No need to cook for themselves; it was the same as working at the Central Academy of Drama, and the environment was even better.

There was a special stage for acting, located in the two-story building at the training ground.

It was both a cinema and a performance stage. Apart from the weekly movie time, it was a place for them to practice and teach.

It was said that students would be arranged, but Li Xuewu only appeared after separating from them, and he didn't greet them when he went over there to exchange pleasantries, just assuming the other party was busy.

As for Li Wenbiao, Mai Qinglan had already made plans. She comforted her parents a few words, only saying that these were all his arrangements, telling her parents not to worry.

She accompanied her parents around here in the morning. Although it was different from the kind of club she had seen before.

But in such an ancient building, having a place for fitness and exercise, a place for design practice, as well as a cinema, restaurant, service department, billiard room, and other places, was truly rare.

What was important wasn't what was here, but who the people here were.

The information Li Wenbiao mentioned casually gave Mai Qinglan a clearer understanding of him and his Wu Ge.

No wonder he was so arrogant that day at her home, daring to hold a gun to force that person to release her parents.

Li Wenbiao said afterwards that someone went to her house to put up seals, and that property couldn't be lived in for the time being; they would talk about it later.

To say how much she understood Li Wenbiao, it was really hard to say.

She used to know he lived across from the school in a large mansion, which was originally the home of a teacher at the school. Sometimes he drove back to live, and sometimes he rode a bicycle.

After getting married, she learned he was a manager of a collective enterprise, which could be considered both poor and rich.

Saying he was poor was because he really didn't have much money; she had seen all his luggage, just a few pieces of clothing and two sets of bedding.

But saying he was in difficulty was far from it. He could drive a car, could ride a bicycle out at will, and moved from the large mansion across from the school to another small courtyard.

According to him, he could change his residence if needed; those people wouldn't be able to find all five residences.

Good heavens, he was so poor he only had mansions left!

Clearly he didn't have much money in his pocket, but he could buy her leather shoes, beautiful clothes, say they could take photos, and have a radio at home.

She had never seen him worry about money or coupons; even working at the recycling station didn't require them to cook for themselves.

The food wasn't bad, even better than what her family had before.

This kind of life was like a dream. She couldn't figure out who this Li Wenbiao was, or who the Wu Ge who helped her handle things and whom she could never see was.

Until now, Li Wenbiao hadn't explained clearly to her what Wu Ge was doing. Anyway, it was factories, Garrison Districts, and sub-bureaus; it sounded mysterious and confusing.

Seeing him a few times, he was always in a white shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes; she really couldn't tell where he worked.

The only thing she could be sure of was the pistol on his waist; he was definitely from a powerful department.

The three people in the Mai family ate this meal with emotion and worry, excitement and bitterness.

Displaced and living under someone else's roof, life was not as easy as it looked.

The daughter's comfort instead became a gap for the old couple's worry. The food was delicious, but they didn't eat much.

Li Xuewu originally wanted to come over to greet them, but Zhou Zhengquan pulled him to talk and wouldn't let him go, so he ate lunch at that table.

Finding a convenient time to talk, Li Xuewu whispered and asked about Zhou Zhengquan's family affairs.

Zhou Zhengquan said helplessly, "Cut off the wrist to save the life; discard what should be discarded, throw away what should be thrown away."

Li Xuewu patted his arm, expressing his comfort and attitude.

"The choice made today may not be a victory for tomorrow. Times change, and the world changes. Look forward."

"Only this can be done."

Zhou Zhengquan looked at Li Xuewu and said gratefully, "My father-in-law originally wanted to invite you to be a guest at home, but because you were going to be in closed training and had many things to do, I declined."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "We don't need to be polite between us, not to mention I didn't help much."

"That's not true."

Zhou Zhengquan said with emotion, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have had the determination to talk to my father-in-law about this."

"They say take a step back and the sea and sky will be vast, but only after stepping back do you realize how difficult this step is."

Zhou Zhengquan shook his head and said, "Now that I am outside the situation, he sees it more clearly, and he values me more. I have to thank you."

"I understand."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I believe you have heard that my father-in-law has also stepped down. At forty-something, it's also a blow to him."

"Sigh~ Gu Can's result is still good."

Although Zhou Zhengquan didn't drink, his face was red, and his eyes were red too.

"My wife's uncle was a bit radical and said some targeted words, and he is already gone."

Their family's position wasn't low, and they were in the eye of the storm. It was normal for things to happen. Only if someone didn't fall would there be a problem.

No system or family could stand firm in this storm.

Even Gu Haitao over there, wasn't he and the Han Shu family going to take the initiative to step back and avoid the edge?

Gu Haitao had Li Xuewu's advice, kept his mouth shut, planned ahead to recuperate from illness, and took the initiative to step back twice. With the Han family's push, he went to school.

That side didn't dare to move Gu Haitao easily either. He was young, but capable, had experienced a lot, and his roots were red and straight. What was important was that he didn't have that many relationship networks, which instead made him someone who couldn't be moved easily.

The higher-ups had been thinking about him. Putting him in school was to facilitate his recuperation and to be ready to use him to stabilize the South at any time.

At this time, the South was very lively. Without a ruthless person, it couldn't be stabilized. Otherwise, why were so many ruthless people gathering in Yangcheng? Wasn't it for...

Li Xuewu and Zhou Zhengquan were both from "grassroots" backgrounds, and their fathers-in-law were both powerful people. It was like they were in the same boat.

Li Xuewu's father-in-law was in the army, and Zhou Zhengquan's father-in-law was in the public security. They were all in the same system before, and they were all famous for knowing each other.

Zhou Zhengquan must have told those suggestions of Li Xuewu when he went home, and having heard Gu Haitao's approach, his father-in-law also had some insights and walked out of this step with difficulty.

Li Xuewu influenced more than just Zhou Zhengquan's father-in-law. Who in the club didn't know about Zhou Zhengquan's family affairs?

And Li Xuewu's admonitions and suggestions, as well as the affairs of Li Xuewu's father-in-law and Zhou Zhengquan's father-in-law, all served as a reminder to others.

In the last storm, many people retreated in time, didn't compete for the edge, or went to the South, or went to the North. Anyway, a strange atmosphere appeared.

It seemed like these unrelated people had connections, and they all made gestures of forbearance and concession, making the higher-ups confused, and for a while, they really didn't dare to use means against them.

This also gave them time to react and ease, making it convenient to avoid many hidden arrows.

Of course, Li Xuewu absolutely didn't dare to talk nonsense about this incident. He pretended not to know, and wouldn't deliberately go and do anything.

An accident was an accident. His original intention was for everyone to land safely and ensure that everyone in the club had a good development.

Everyone gathered together to learn, support, progress, and improve; there must be a good result.

Zhou Zhengquan said that a relative in his family was gone. During this period, were there few relatives gone?

Who from top to bottom wasn't affected? This kind of thing would last for a long time, and they had to hide.

Li Xuewu finished his meal, agreed with a few people to eat hot pot in the evening, waved his hand to refuse Huang Gan's invitation to practice shooting. From yesterday to today, he had shot enough, no need to practice anymore.

Walking to the Mai family's table, he pulled a chair and sat down. Li Xuewu asked with a smile, "Old Uncle, how is the food here?"

"Good, very good."

Father Mai might have been influenced by the words his daughter just said, and his respect for Li Xuewu was even stronger now.

Li Xuewu knew that they would think too much after coming here, but he didn't care, and said with a smile, "You two live here with peace of mind. They are not far away, and you can come to visit them at any time."

Father Mai nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your trouble. It really caused you trouble."

"You are too polite."

Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to Mai Qinglan, asking, "Where is Biaozi?"

"He said he had things to do and went back first."

Mai Qinglan whispered back to Li Xuewu, still having a psychological burden.

Li Xuewu could hear the meaning in her words and said, "Biaozi has a lot of work. You should understand him more. After a long time, you will know."

After finishing, he looked at Father Mai and Mother Mai again and said, "I don't know if Biaozi told you, but he has to go to the Steel City to take office next month."

Father Mai and Mother Mai obviously didn't know about this, and after being stunned for a moment, they looked at their daughter sitting opposite.

And Mai Qinglan also looked at Li Xuewu in surprise. Li Wenbiao hadn't told her about this.

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "In the Steel City, the recycling station still has industries. I told you before. He is very important to us, and he has a lot of work. You should understand more."

He raised his hand to gesture to Father Mai and Mother Mai and said, "Arranging for you two to live here is to let you two rest assured."

In Mai Qinglan's strange gaze, Li Xuewu said to her, "My brother's character doesn't need to be said, you also know his character, but sometimes he will be a bit arrogant. You are a cultured person, don't be the same as him."

Father Mai saw Li Xuewu talking to his daughter behind his son-in-law's back in front of them. Clearly, his son-in-law and daughter had conflicts, and Li Xuewu was the one regulating them.

From a series of things, and from the daughter's mouth, he learned about his son-in-law's family situation. This young man could really be the master of his son-in-law.

"My son-in-law is a good person."

Father Mai first affirmed Old Biaozi's impression on them, and then said sincerely to Li Xuewu, "Our Qinglan has been spoiled since she was a child. If there is anything wrong..."

"Old Uncle, it has nothing to do with the younger sister-in-law."

Li Xuewu interrupted the other party's words, looked at Father Mai, and also looked at Mai Qinglan, saying, "It's my brother's business. He is uncultured, a rough person. If there is anything ignorant, you should bear with it more."

After finishing, he said to Mai Qinglan, "Although he has parents, he hasn't been treated well since he was a child. He has been hanging out with me since he was ten. You should talk to him, communicate with him, and he will listen to you."

"This is the right reason."

Father Mai just thought Li Xuewu was bullying people with power, using these favors to suppress his daughter to be obedient to his son-in-law. He was going to speak for his daughter.

But he didn't expect Li Xuewu's meaning was about his son-in-law, and he was also persuading his daughter to communicate more with his son-in-law and live a good life.

This was naturally good words, and also proper persuasive words. Things had come to this, and they naturally hoped their daughter could have a good home.

Although his son-in-law looked rough and uncultured, he was enthusiastic, sincere to them, and sincere to his daughter. What else was there to say?

"My mother and I are very good here, and we don't need you to worry. Listen to whatever is arranged, and living a good life with your son-in-law is better than anything."

"That's what I'm saying~"

Mother Mai, who hadn't said much, had blisters on her lips, which was caused by anger. She had suffered a lot during these days of fear.

She felt distressed and held her daughter's hand to comfort her, saying, "Your father and I have settled down, and all that's left is to live a good life. You should also live a good life, and don't always worry about your father and me."

While talking, she glanced at Li Xuewu and advised, "Follow your son-in-law to the Steel City. It's far away, so don't worry about us. Take good care of your son-in-law and take good care of yourself."

"Mom..."

Mai Qinglan gripped her mother's hand, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to do.

Since Li Xuewu wanted to be the master for Old Biaozi, he had to give people a backbone. He couldn't just say his brother's good and bully people who were in trouble now.

"You can also make phone calls when you get there. It's very convenient to call here."

First, he talked about the Steel City, and then Li Xuewu said, "If he is not reliable, or plays the bastard, you call me. I can say this to you, I can scold him, and I can beat him."

Li Xuewu said this in front of Mai Qinglan's parents, giving people a reassurance.

"What's important is to live a good life."

Li Xuewu finally comforted, "Don't hurt each other's feelings, and don't hurt yourself. If he is wrong, I will be the master for you."

"Thank you."

Father Mai said with emotion, "You have worked hard for our affairs, and you have worked hard for the young couple's affairs. I am really sorry."

"Family, don't say this."

Li Xuewu didn't talk about Mai Qinglan, but said to Father Mai, "You sit first, I will go to pick up my two friends. Everyone has time today. You give some pointers. If it is appropriate, we will talk about the gift of teaching."

"It should be, it should be."

Father Mai stood up and took the initiative to see Li Xuewu off, but was pressed down by him. After nodding to Mother Mai with a smile, he left.

Watching Li Xuewu leave the restaurant, Father Mai sat down and said to his lover and daughter, "Think about the good side. They are all good people, rare."

Father's emotion, Mai Qinglan naturally understood what it meant. In this era, there were fewer good people.

At least there were fewer people who could save their family, or even none. Meeting such a person could be considered a blessing.

Father's satisfaction also made Mother nod and open her mouth, "The result is good. Although the son-in-law is uncultured, he doesn't have so many thoughts, and he doesn't have the care of his family, but he doesn't have so many things."

Mother Mai held her daughter's hand and said, "Not living with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you will suffer less. Going to another place is not necessarily a bad thing. Look, your son-in-law is capable."

After finishing, she glanced at the door and whispered to her daughter, "People's brothers are polite to say this. Life is yours, how to live is yours. A good mood is one day, and a bad mood is also one day."

"Hmm, it's really not easy."

Father Mai nodded and said, "He is capable, and his status is precious. My son-in-law relies on him to live. He dares to guarantee for you, so you can be considered to have a guarantee."

Mai Qinglan nodded and said a fair word, "Wenbiao is a good person, and he hasn't intimidated me, and he is not bad in life and food."

"That's good, that's good."

Mother Mai breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "You can say this, Mom is relieved. Amitabha, Buddha bless you, you have found a good family."

Father Mai glanced at his daughter and said, "Live a good life. You are safe, and your mother and I are also smooth."

After finishing, he gestured to the door and said, "Let's go, go back and wait. Look carefully later. Can our old bones really teach people? Don't mislead the children."

Saying it was pointing out to people, saying it was looking at people, actually it was interviewing them.

Although Li Xuewu said it very simply, just friends, but they could bring them to their front, and they were just two girls in their teens. How could they not know what was going on?

Their school was a key area of this storm. Many colleagues were scattered. Maybe it was some high-ranking person's student who was wandering the streets.

It seemed that they were most familiar with this profession.

Many children bought before were "smashed" in their hands due to policy changes.

This was an apprentice, thinking of selling art to make money, but now they could only wait for them to become adults to find a unit to settle down. Supplying them out was enough.

They were not allowed to do heavy work since childhood, and they were not allowed to touch life skills. They were just cultivated as tools to make money. Throwing them on the street was no different from a fool.

Being picked up by this person, they must have been raised. Green clothes and small actors, the fate of ancient times was like this, nothing strange.

Mai Qinglan, who followed her parents out, had a slight movement in her heart. If this was the case, her impression of this Wu Ge had a few more confusion.

What kind of person is he?

Although it was not far, it was raining, and walking was always inconvenient.

Li Xuewu didn't use a driver either. He drove a Volga M24 out and went to the alley.

Saying it was not far, but driving took five or six minutes, and he put some daily necessities in the car on the way.

Arriving at the door, Li Xuewu was too lazy to hold an umbrella. He went to ring the doorbell and waited at the door.

After a while, footsteps came from the courtyard. Li Xuewu didn't wait for her to ask, and didn't want the two to be shocked, so he spoke first, "It's me, open the door."

"Ah, good~"

Hearing the voice was Jin Jiaojiao, and after opening the door and seeing it was really her, Li Xuewu asked with a smile, "Taking a nap?"

"No, just finished eating."

Jin Jiaojiao's voice was very pleasant. After opening the door and looking at the car at the door, she asked, "Do you want to drive in?"

Li Xuewu looked around, thought about it, and said, "Better drive in. There are many things, it's inconvenient."

After finishing, he opened the door, unloaded the threshold, and drove into the courtyard.

Jin Jiaojiao still wanted to go up to the threshold, but was stopped by Li Xuewu, only saying that he had to leave in a while, just close the door.

"Are you busy today?"

She thought Li Xuewu was like last week, coming and going in a hurry, and had things that couldn't stay long.

Li Xuewu looked at her with a smile and said, "Unload the things first."

After finishing, he opened the door and the trunk, and moved out the meat cans and vegetables prepared for them.

Tong Huimei had just finished cleaning the kitchen. Hearing the sound, she greeted from the kitchen. Seeing Li Xuewu brought so many things again, she said embarrassedly, "There are still some from last time."

"Eat slowly, eat more vegetables, they don't last long."

Li Xuewu said while moving things into the kitchen. The two women also helped, and put things away in the light rain.

When Li Xuewu closed the car door and entered the room for the last time, Tong Huimei had already prepared a hot towel for him to wipe his face.

"The clothes are wet, hang them up."

Tong Huimei used a dry towel to wipe Li Xuewu's clothes. It was a coat he found when he came out, worn in the rain.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, put down the towel in his hand and said, "By chance, I met two teachers from the Central Academy of Drama, who are also in the Qin Qin Jingju industry."

He said this, and Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao looked at each other, and there was a look of surprise on their faces.

Li Xuewu looked at them and asked with a smile, "Why? Seeing that you are diligent in learning every day, I want to find a teacher for you."

Jin Jiaojiao was straightforward, and before Tong Huimei could organize the language, she said, "Brother, it's not that we don't know what's good, but it's not in line with the rules to learn art from others."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Li Xuewu blinked. He didn't pay attention to this, and didn't hear Mai Qinglan's parents mention this.

Tong Huimei walked to Li Xuewu and stood, explaining softly, "It's an old rule. It doesn't matter to students, but it's a restriction for us."

While talking, she lowered her body and sat beside Li Xuewu, softening her voice, "Teachers in school will not teach apprentices like us, because we have a master."

"Now that there is no master, people will also dislike us for having learned art, and there is no way to pass on the master's sect. The foundation is not taught by others, and there will be high and low in the heart, so it is not good to say anything."

"Is there such a saying?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, thought about it, looked at the two and said, "I didn't think about this, and the other party didn't mention this."

"What is the relationship?"

Tong Huimei was older than Jin Jiaojiao after all, and understood more. Hearing Li Xuewu say this, it was clear that the relationship was relatively good, and she was afraid of his power and dared not refuse.

Li Xuewu pondered for a while and said, "The relationship is okay, but it's not like you care."

After finishing, he nodded to the two and said, "I think so, let's go and meet first. If it works or not, we will talk about it then."

Looking at the appearance of the two, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's rare that you have this perseverance to learn art. You can't always close the door and build a car. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, don't practice and practice, and Qin Qin Jingju becomes Bangzi."

"Hee hee~ How could it be like what you said~"

Jin Jiaojiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Even if we are not good, we won't sing Bangzi."

Tong Huimei understood Li Xuewu's words, stood up with a smile and said, "Then let's go change clothes, we can't waste your kindness."

Jin Jiaojiao also said jokingly on the side, "It's worth it even if we go out for a turn."

The two went to the inner room to change clothes with a smile, and didn't say to close the partition door, leaving Li Xuewu sitting in the living room, sitting not, entering the room not.

When they came out after changing clothes, Li Xuewu didn't feel a bright spot in front of his eyes. Youth is the most precious cosmetic in the world, not only beautifying the face, but also beautifying the temperament.

Holding an umbrella and going out, he let them get in the car first. After driving out, he went up to the threshold, locked the door, and then walked to the club.

On the way, Li Xuewu also said that if they felt stuffy here, they would go to the club to work.

Saying it was work, it was still mainly learning. This time, even if the apprenticeship was not successful, they could communicate with each other in the way of exchange.

It was not appropriate for only the two of them to be here before, but if Father Mai and Mother Mai were here, their existence didn't seem to have anything.

Jin Jiaojiao was lively, naturally liked it, but Tong Huimei didn't speak, and she didn't dare to make her own claim.

Tong Huimei thought about it and said to see the result. If it was inconvenient, it would be better to stay at home.

Li Xuewu didn't force her, all followed her, it was this personality, forcing her was not good.

The car passed the entrance of the club, Jin Jiaojiao pointed to the entrance in surprise and said, "There are guards!"

"Yes, the newly formed security section."

Li Xuewu explained casually. When the car turned into the courtyard, he stopped at the entrance of the flower hall first, signaled them to wait inside, and then drove the car to the entrance of the restaurant.

After getting off the car, he ran into the restaurant and smiled at the few people who were chatting after eating, "Come out and help."

"What for?"

Someone looked at the car at the door in surprise, and then asked in surprise, "Did you get the meat over here?!"

"So I asked you to help!"

Li Xuewu waved his hand with a smile and played a riddle with them.

A few people also laughed and called the kitchen guys to follow to the door.

When they saw that the trunk was full of meat, these people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

I thought that two plates on a table would be enough to be awesome, but I didn't expect that I really spent a lot of money.

Someone said to Li Xuewu embarrassedly, "This... we don't mean this. How can we eat your month's salary?"

Everyone is living a life, even if they treat guests, they don't have this way of eating.

Li Xuewu smiled indifferently and said, "It's rare for everyone to have time. We haven't gathered for a long time. Today is the most important thing to be happy."

The meat was out, and the favor was naturally made big. He waved his hand to signal the guy to move the meat, and he also carried two bags and led the way to the restaurant.

Several cadres were really embarrassed. Seeing Huang Gan making a fuss, they thought the two had the same meaning. They didn't expect Li Xuewu to really get so much meat. Saying it was enough was really enough.

Looking at each other, the preciousness and righteousness in each other's eyes could be felt.

This friendship is naturally not clear in a word of classmate affection. The deeper the relationship is, the deeper it is.

Li Xuewu is the president of the club, and the youngest classmate has the greatest contribution. They are naturally convinced.

This time, he was still generous and enthusiastic, making them warm in this rainy day.

Li Xuewu cares about this meat. In this era, this is money, solid and precious materials.

But compared to interpersonal relationships, these are things that can be discarded.

Stepping on boots, stepping into the puddle and splashing a piece of water, Li Xuewu's smiling face in the rain curtain is particularly sincere.

And where they can't see, Li Xuewu knows that when it rains, even the shadow will disappear.

If he wants to go further and more steadily, and not be abandoned by this era, he must always walk in the sunshine. ===== CHAPTER 813 =====
