Men and Women Eating in the Courtyard

Chapter 590 I Had No Choice at the Beginning

"Um?"

"Director Li! Director Li~"

When Xu Sinian saw Li Xuewu's "hmm", he knew that his tone of voice was wrong, and he quickly calmed down.

"Look, aren't you anxious?"

As he spoke, he pulled Li Xuewu's arm and said, "I started busy yesterday afternoon until midnight. The truck left, and I still had to take the accounting with me. Look at me now."

"Well, I'm really angry."

Li Xuewu looked at Xu Sinian, felt his pulse, and then said, "Let me prescribe you a prescription."

"Please forgive me!"

Xu Sinian shook off Li Xuewu's hand that was checking his pulse, and said with a wry smile: "Lao Xia and you can have diarrhea for a whole day even with a cup of tea. If you give me a prescription, you might as well just send me away!"

After saying this, he returned to the previous topic and said: "But you did a great job in this matter. Deputy Director Jing is stuck in mid-air. He can't go up or down. The director is scratching his head now." .

Can you stop scratching your head? The actual problem has been solved, the warehouse has been emptied, funds have returned to the account, and transactions are proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, the problem of the joint enterprise has not been solved. These funds were only earned from previous border trade.

Deducting the fruit money can only guarantee return of capital.

But what can we do with such a small amount of money? As long as the residential area projects are operated at full capacity, the money may be used up in two months.

What then?

It took two months to even dare to form a joint venture, let alone create sustainable benefits.

It is now early May, and the allocation from above has come down, and it was he who asked for it.

But what about next month?

As mentioned above, there are documents requiring tight control of budget funds, and part of the profit support can be withheld for residential area projects.

The rolling steel mill is under development, and the profit is about the same as the allocation.

This means that the money earned is almost the same as the cost invested in development. How can this be withheld?

As long as it is retained, the money for building houses will be available. Should the steel rolling mill be developed? If new machines cannot be installed, can the administrative building be built after half of it is built?

The most ideal situation is that the funds will flow back to make up for the funds misappropriated from other projects in the early stage, and a certain cooperative enterprise will be established, giving two months of development time, and starting to make blood.

In this way, even if the higher authorities no longer allocate funds, the residential area projects will not be exposed to thunderstorms.

Residential area projects are like a powder keg. For fear of it exploding, they can only be buried with soil and capped with cement.

But the more this happens, the more the explosion limit is increased, and the more dangerous the explosion is.

In the early stage, some people's vigorous publicity with ulterior motives allowed the residential area project to establish hope and goals in the hearts of workers.

At that time, they didn't notice anything and thought Gu Weijie had changed her gender.

But I never expected that residential areas would encounter the current situation and be short of money.

The workers will not look at how many difficulties you have or how much work you have done. As long as you dare to break this hope and this goal, then fine. Workers are the masters of the country and it is not just talk.

You, Yang Fengshan, can have the final say in this rolling mill, but in the final analysis, the workers have the final say.

This is also the reason why Yang Fengshan is distressed.

Li Huaide couldn't kill him. He used to operate from the top, but this time he operated from the middle and didn't kill him. He just caused him some trouble.

But doing so not only made the superiors resent him and caused a backlash among Li Huaide's departments, but also had a certain impact on his prestige.

But what if Li Huaide takes advantage of the emotions of grassroots comrades and the broad masses of workers?

This is the last thing Yang Fengshan wants to see.

Li Xuewu did solve the problem, but only half of it was solved. The core problem still exists.

Threatening Li Xuewu can only be done once. If he does it again, he may not cause Li Xuewu to retaliate.

This matter still needs to be polished, not only must it be polished, but it must be polished quickly.

Xu Sinian was doing his job here to stabilize Li Xuewu, but he had to think about it as soon as possible.

Either Jing Yunong can solve the problem of the joint enterprise, or Li Xuewu must solve the problem of the joint enterprise.

This is what Xu Sinian understands. If he can't solve it with Jing Yunong, it will be Li Xuewu who takes over in the end.

"Hey, don't leave!"

When Li Xuewu was about to leave, Xu Sinian stopped in front and said, "I'm going to make trouble with you, but you have to be prepared. Don't use you because you won't be able to seize the opportunity."

"I need you to tell me?"

Li Xuewu replied and then said: "Whenever you need me, when you have any opportunity, I tell you, don't do this kind of thing for me in the future!"

"besides!"

Li Xuewu took two steps and saw that Xu Sinian was trying to pull him away again. He turned around and pointed at Xu Sinian and said, "I'm warning you, don't apologize to others on my behalf in the future, otherwise I won't be scolding you in vain!"

"Hey! What a grandson!"

Seeing Li Xuewu and his secretary enter the building, Xu Sinian stood at the door with his hands on his hips and held back his anger.

This bastard took the credit and left the work to him. He was kind and helpful, but he didn't appreciate it.

When he turned around, he saw Deputy Director Jing's secretary passing on the road.

"Grass!"

Xu Sinian stared at the third floor of the guard building in disbelief, thinking, isn't this bastard a man with ears and clairvoyance?

On the third floor, Li Xuewu called Ji Weidong after arriving at the office.

After expressing his opinion, he was able to intercede for Ge Shuqin.

Then he called the dispatch office and made an appointment with a commuter car shop in Steel City.

"You leave on Sunday and come back on Wednesday. Isn't it a bit rushed?"

Sha Qizhi listened to the call and asked Li Xuewu while bringing tea.

"The round-trip train ride takes a day and a half, which is a hell."

“There is no way, the secretary of Thursday’s meeting won’t allow you to take leave.”

Li Xuewu had just set a time to go to Steel City with Ji Weidong and set off on Sunday afternoon.

Thursday is May 8th. This meeting is about documents dated May 7th. No one dares to ask for leave.

Especially he didn't dare to delay this meeting by going to Steel City.

He didn't go to Steel City to run the steel rolling mill, so he couldn't find an excuse to shirk it.

While helping Li Xuewu sort out the documents, Sha Qiyi said with a smile: "It's just the weekend. The business trip is a bit hard."

"yes"

Li Xuewu nodded with emotion and said, "Look at how busy I am. If you don't know, you would think that I have really done something serious."

"I'm picking up the children and seeing off relatives. Today I have to go to my mother-in-law's house to sit and have a meal. In the evening, I have to pick up our old lady to live there."

"Alas~~~"

After saying this, he sighed, and then said: "You have to work hard this week and go to the training ground."

After lamenting a few personal matters, Li Xuewu explained to Sha Qizhi: "I'll go on Monday to see the current training situation. I will definitely go there when I come back this week. I still have to explain some things."

I told Shen Fang yesterday, but I didn't see Qi Yaowu. I plan to go to the mountain this week to talk to Yin Mancang and Qi Yaowu and get a vaccination.

Whenever there is a chance these days, Li Xuewu wants to explain something.

The wedding day is actually a good opportunity. Everyone is here and it is convenient to talk.

But Li Xuewu only had time to say a few words to each of them, and did not go into depth.

Then there is the family. His father, Li Shun, is taken care of by the hospital leaders, and Li Xuewu has asked Li Xuecai to maintain the relationship, so he is not afraid of big problems.

The mother, the old lady, and others are all women, and their composition is very high.

There was a problem with the eldest brother. Seeing that the situation was not right, he called Huang Gan directly and "arrested" him for forced labor.

Li Xuecai and Li Xue have trouble going to school...

In the afternoon, Li Xuewu called his family and asked Yu Li to see off his third uncle and his family on his behalf.

At the same time, he went to the cabinet to get the gift he gave to his third uncle and gave it to his third uncle on his behalf.

The reason why I didn't deliver it in the morning was because I was afraid that my third uncle wouldn't accept it, and I was also worried that my family would miss it. It was just right for Yu Li to deliver it when my third uncle got in the car.

He could still go back in the morning, but he really couldn't leave in the afternoon.

The publicity office of the factory notified him, and someone from the Iron and Steel Newspaper came to interview him about his award.

It wasn't obvious yesterday, but it spread suddenly today.

Everyone in the agency, inside and outside the workshop, was talking about Li Xuewu becoming a model worker.

Last time Li Xuewu was awarded the role of model worker in earthquake relief, but this time he was awarded the role of model worker.

This thing is precious, so precious that it can save lives, save the lives of several people.

Several reporters came, not all from the Iron and Steel Newspaper, but also from higher-ups, and some from the factory itself.

Li Xuewu saw Yu Haitang follow him into the office.

The interview took place in Li Xuewu's office. Sha Qizhi and Yu Decai were busy finding chairs for everyone and pouring tea.

Zhou Yao was also called over to help. Because she wanted to take pictures, she helped Li Xuewu organize his clothes.

It was such a busy time, Kakaka took a bunch of photos, and then entered the text interview session.

Speaking of other things, Li Xuewu may not be that professional, but chatting... talking about work and performance is what he is good at.

First, I would like to thank the leaders for their help and comrades for their support, then talk about the background and inspiration of the dual plan research, and finally talk about the prospects of this work.

There is not a single word in the entire content that is boastful, and not a single sentence is about oneself. It is all about the leaders and those who have done the work at the grassroots level, including Zhou Yao, who is doing the service in the house, and everyone is mentioned by name.

I don’t talk about myself, but I talk about the creation process and practicality of the dual plan.

When it comes to interviews, you don’t need to praise yourself. You have to prepare the groundwork and let the reporter feel your excellence.

The final writing is still in the hands of others, so the character of modesty and prudence is even more convincing.

Seeing Li Xuewu being surrounded by reporters and hearing Li Xuewu mentioning herself, Zhou Yao felt that being transferred by Director Yu to work on the double plan would not be a hardship no matter how hard it was.

At first, it looked like an extremely tedious job, but no one was doing it. I thought it was such a despised job.

But I never expected that results would come out in just a few days.

Li Xuewu won the award, but the weaving of the double plan has begun to be promoted nationwide.

Her name is on the list of editors. Isn’t this an achievement?

If it had been left to the past, Zhou Yao would definitely thank Deputy Director Li, Director Yu, and both of them for their support and selflessness.

I would also like to thank my colleagues in the office for their selfless concessions and pushing such a good opportunity to her, allowing her as a newcomer to achieve results.

But these are things that she could only do in the past. She must thank Director Li and Director Yu, but she can't say it with her mouth. She has to repay her leaders with her achievements.

As for the colleagues in the office... Ever since yesterday afternoon, when the news spread that the director won the award for the double plan, various eyes have been looking at her corner.

No matter how innocent she is, no matter how new she is, she still knows the jealousy in these people's eyes.

Just now, Director Yu called her over alone to help, and she walked out under everyone's strange eyes.

Stand out and stand out, not afraid of wind and rain.

After coming to the Security Department for an internship, she encountered so many things, which made her grow up quickly.

She is no longer the same person who just walked out of school, even though it has only been more than a month.

If she persists for more than a month, she will graduate. When the time comes to officially join the steel rolling mill, more challenges will be waiting for her.

When Zhou Yao thought of this, she couldn't help but think of two companions who came to the security office for internship together.

Huang Shiwen had already returned to work. She went to the clerk's post several times after get off work, but she always said she was busy.

I don’t know what I am busy with, but I still hide from myself.

Fu Linfang was still the chief of the purchasing department, but after that meeting, Zhou Yao found that Fu Linfang had changed.

It's not just a change of her own growth, it seems to be a change of maturity.

Thinking of the two of them, I couldn't help but think of what Director Yu said about the change in their situation: Everything is fate, and you can't control it at all.

——

When a reporter went to the security building to interview, the news about the agency in the main office building naturally spread.

What's more, there are people from the Propaganda Department working here, and the effect is second only to shouting from a loudspeaker in a radio station.

"Hey, I heard that the factory's funding problem has been solved."

"solved?"

This person blinked across the desk and said, "Dozens of millions of dollars were spent overnight? Are you kidding me?"

“Of course not for one night”

The man smiled and said: "It was an afternoon, no! A phone call!"

Everyone in the office looked over and asked politely: "Tell me quickly, what news have you got?"

"Hey, this news is great."

The man smiled and said: "The problem that has troubled the factory for so long was solved with just a phone call from Deputy Director Li of the Security Department."

"real or fake?"

Some people didn't believe it and said suspiciously: "What can a security office do if it is so big?"

"What are you capable of? Haha~"

The man chuckled and said: "The security departments of all factories in Dongcheng are under his control. You can tell me what you can do. They exchange unplanned products and raw materials internally, and only use one cart of fruit, eh~!"

As if telling a story, the man went over to pour hot water with a teacup and said with a smile: "Don't you see that the people in the Finance Department, Sales Department and Logistics Department are as busy as grandchildren? Hahaha~"

"I've really heard of this."

Someone who saw it added: "The chef on duty in the canteen made a late-night snack. Many people didn't go home last night, and the truck was busy until midnight."

"Hey, midnight, let's see"

The man smiled and said: "This is only one issue. From now on, there will be one issue every two days and one issue every two days, which will be enough for these people to keep busy."

"This is really timely, and my house is finally settled~"

"You think so, hahahaha~"

The news in the office is like the big durian that Director Xu opened back then, with a strong smell.

By the afternoon, who didn't know that the factory's funding problem had been solved? And there was Deputy Director Li who didn't know how to keep a low profile and didn't want to take the credit at all.

They didn't even attend the trading meeting, which made several deputy factory directors lose the desire to publicize.

The smell of the news slowly spread to the third floor, to the rooms of various leaders.

The leader also had different expressions when he heard the news.

Yang Yuansong's deliberation, Yang Fengshan's entanglement, Gu Weijie's teasing...

Li Huaide was surprised. He just told Li Xuewu that he could dilute the storm to a certain extent and give the factory director a false breath.

But when I asked you to release the water, you didn’t say you would release it so quickly!

What I discussed with you in the morning was completed in the afternoon. Meetings, study and daily office work in the middle of the co-writing process delayed your ability to solve the problem?

Fortunately, this speed was extremely accurate. Just as he ignored Li Xuewu and stared at Deng Zhiwang, he only stared at Jing Yunong.

If everyone is staring at the factory director, then do we still need order?

After he goes up there, will others stare directly at him?

The rule of the road is to cut off the person doing the work first. A more civilized way of saying it is to cut off the wings.

In fact, the departments held by Jing Yunong were too important, and Li Huaide wanted to get rid of her to increase the weight in his hands and achieve the advancement of executive deputy.

Apart from this thought, he saw some of Li Xuewu's actions but pretended not to have seen them.

You must always allow your subordinates to have their own purposes and ideas, otherwise what motivation would there be?

Nie Chenglin didn't feel much about the news about Li Xuewu, because he knew that this person was used to playing tricks like this.

Even if the factory's funding problem was solved, he would only think that Li Xuewu would do something clever.

This is a steel rolling mill. What kind of joint enterprise should we establish? It is the last word to grasp the fundamental issues and develop the steel industry.

He was the director in charge of production, so of course he thought so, and he was also very unhappy that Li Xuewu abducted his two division chiefs to do some research on automobile engines.

That's a serious thing, what's so good about a car!

Moreover, Xia Zhongquan and Kuang Yusheng secretly transferred all the money away, which also made him very angry.

If Li Xuewu hadn't settled the funding issue this time, he might have gotten angry with the two of them if the leader hadn't asked about it.

On this matter, he complained several times to Xue Zhifu, secretary of the Disciplinary Supervision and Inspection Commission, and asked Xue Zhifu to come forward to review Li Xuewu's private projects at the division level.

Check to see if there is a small treasury, if there are any discrepancies in the accounts, or if there are any problems that harm the public and enrich private interests.

Good guy, he took a big bite and told the problem, but Xue Zhifu didn't listen at all.

What to check?

Small vault?

Where is the small treasury?

If you really want to investigate, just rely on what he knows. Can you still investigate Li Xuewu's character?

I'm afraid I didn't go round and round, but I checked all over and found it on your old Nie's head.

What the Security Office reports to the finance department is case handling and management funds. You may not be aware that what the Design Office and Production Management Office report are welfare funds.

Deputy Factory Director Nie is not reporting Li Xuewu, he is surrendering!

The steel rolling mill has been so non-stop recently, how could Xue Zhifu, a deputy secretary of the Disciplinary Supervision and Inspection Commission, go into such troubled waters.

So even if he knew what happened yesterday, he was just distracted by the excitement.

Jing Yunong, on the other hand, ignored her reminder when he and Deng Zhiwang went to the factory director's office and kept discussing the capital budget.

He is now in charge of residential area projects, so naturally he wants to get money to build buildings.

But the economic pressure on Jing Yunong's side seems to be improving, but in fact there are still risks. The money is being withdrawn, but it cannot be spent arbitrarily.

The two had a heated argument in Yang Fengshan's office.

Especially when feedback about yesterday's news came in, the quarrel took on a different flavor.

Based on the concern of factory workers about residential area projects, and the current bad situation and future uncertainty, Deng Zhiwang came to discuss with Yang Fengshan to increase capital investment as soon as possible and speed up the construction of residential area projects.

Jing Yunong started from the financial situation and explained the current difficulties faced by the utilization rate of funds.

There is also an issue that the factory director has been struggling with, whether the hematopoietic project corresponding to the residential area project-a joint enterprise can be established.

If it's possible, speed it up. If it's a human problem, replace it.

If not, then get rid of it quickly to avoid a lot of trouble.

But now there is a problem. Workers are more concerned about housing projects in residential areas, but they are more concerned about the employment of their children.

The original propaganda of the joint enterprise was to solve the employment problem of the children of 10,000 workers in the steel rolling mill.

Now the expectations of 10,000 people are on Yang Fengshan's table. This joint enterprise has blown its bullshit, can it still be taken back?

How on earth were these moves made?

Deng Zhiwang, who had no result from the quarrel, didn't know, nor did Jing Yunong, who had returned to the office.

What made her especially angry was that Li Xuewu dared to call her a waste on the phone yesterday.

Although it was not in front of her, although Xu Sinian tried his best to explain that he was scolding him.

But Jing Yunong is sure that Li Xuewu must have scolded her like this when he knew she was next to the phone. Otherwise, why didn't he scold Xu Sinian?

What made her even more angry was that just now, when she came out of the factory director's office, she reminded Deng Zhiwang intentionally or unintentionally that a big tree attracts wind.

Deng Zhiwang instantly thought of the things he had done recently, and changing cars was secondary...

However, Jing Yunong's reminder made him very cautious, saying that he was not afraid of his shadow being distorted.

He also said that since he was in charge of such a large capital project, it was normal for him to be criticized, and asked Jing Yunong not to hear rumors.

When Jing Yunong heard what he said, he almost said that she was just a dog meddling in other people's business.

When she reminded her that such ostentation could lead to ulterior motives, such as what she encountered yesterday, Deng Zhiwang's answer and attitude almost made her curse.

Deng Zhiwang looked at her first and then said: "I am very confident in the department I manage and can complete the work in the factory. I don't feel that I have done anything wrong or that I have done anything that has affected the interests of others."

Listen, what nonsense is this!

If he is a waste, he will not be able to complete the work in the factory?

Is he a treacherous person, taking credit from others and taking advantage of others?

Bah, I don’t even need to remind him!

It's really disappointing to be associated with such people.

Then there is the factory director’s attitude and hesitation in handling these matters.

He was hesitant about Li Huaide's misdeeds, he was hesitant about Li Xuewu's handling, and he was hesitant about the project decision.

Most of the situations they faced today were due to the fact that the factory director was not ruthless enough to restrict them.

This led to today's chaotic situation.

When he thought of this, Jing Yunong felt a little disappointed and lost, and even more discouraged. He didn't know if transferring to the company was the right decision.

Furthermore, during these few months in the company, was her position correct?

Especially when the following voice reached her ears through her secretary, she even more doubted whether she was right to support the factory director.

——

“I had no choice at the time, but now I don’t regret it.”

This is Li Xuewu's final summary for today's interview. He used to be a supervisor in charge of security, but he hesitated whether to arrest him for production safety.

But when describing the safety production accidents in the steel rolling mill every year from the first ten years to now, and the specific number of casualties, Li Xuewu's voice was deep.

In elaborating and summarizing relevant experience work, Li Xuewu introduced how many cases were caused by improper operation and weak subjective awareness of prevention.

The reporter looked at Deputy Director Li who knew the specific data without looking at the documents, and lowered his admiring gaze to mark Li Xuewu's professionalism and seriousness.

After talking about the environment, Li Xuewu emphasized: "Since the audit unit is in charge of production safety and fire safety, and since the audit unit is under the control of the security department, there is no choice. The safety of the company and the safety of the workers must be put first. "

"I also do not regret the efforts made together with the comrades of the Security Department, striving to deliver this safety guarantee to the hands of the workers, return safety to the workers, and give peace to their families. Thank you."

Wow~~~

There was instant applause in the office, especially from reporters from several visiting newspapers. I had never seen such a grassroots worker who was so... good at expressing himself.

After the interview, Yu Decai sent the visiting reporters downstairs on behalf of Li Xuewu.

At the entrance of the security building, the people carrying the sand vessel have been prepared long ago, and every visiting journalist comrade has a souvenir.

It is not a valuable item, but a photo album, which contains information about the landmark buildings of the steel rolling mill, workers' production work in the workshop, the earthquake relief scene under the banner of Zhonghong, the volunteer team led by Li Huaide in the disaster area, etc.

It is very special and representative. One of the units is about the work photos of the dual plan from establishment to final review.

What Li Xuewu said was wonderful, but the visiting reporters could only imagine the scene in their minds, which was inevitably biased.

Not anymore. This photo album gives them a reenactment of the scene, allowing them to travel back in time to the time when various departments of the steel rolling mill were working to feel the passion.

As for the text introductions, they are all very short and general, with just a few strokes to highlight the key points.

When Li Xuewu told the office to do this, Yu Decai was still confused.

However, during the last leadership survey and subsequent inspections from various factories, he finally understood what the director was thinking.

How many people could remember everything he said at that time, but with this seemingly photo album, but actually a brochure, they all remembered what Li Xuewu wanted to express.

This kind of thing is nothing more than the cost of developing a photo, which is nothing to a steel rolling mill.

At least the security department's funds are not short of this amount, and the rate of return is invisible.

After the interview, it was almost time to get off work. Li Xuewu exchanged a few words with Yu Decai and then left work with Shaqi.

Yu Decai was very happy when he agreed, but after sending Li Xuewu away, he secretly muttered in his heart, why did he target some foreign students to visit again?

The steel rolling mill is outside the city, and the distance to the shipping warehouse is longer than the distance to the courtyard house, and the most convenient way is to go around outside the city.

There is less congestion and smoother flow even during off-duty hours, but it takes more time.

So when Li Xuewu got home from get off work, Gu Ning had already changed her clothes and was reading a book upstairs.

"Have you completed the procedures for Zhidong?"

After looking at his unhappy godson sitting on the sofa, Li Xuewu asked Zhou Yamei.

Zhou Yamei was showing him the room prepared for the old lady and Li Shu on the first floor.

"Well, tomorrow happens to be Sunday."

Zhou Yamei replied, then gestured to the furnishings in the room and asked, "Let's see if it works. If not, I'll pack it up quickly."

"It works, there's nothing wrong with it"

Li Xuewu looked at the tied curtains, the neat bed, the folded quilt, and his daughter's rocking bed.

"The old lady just loves to be clean. Just keep it clean."

"I've also tidied up the guest room upstairs."

Zhou Yamei left the room first and stood at the door and said, "It's actually better for the old lady to live in the guest room with her children."

"My grandma doesn't want to go up and downstairs because she's too tired."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile, then walked to the edge of the sofa, supported the sofa from behind, looked down at his godson and asked: "This pouty mouth can hang a bottle of oil."

"Uncle~"

Fu Zhidong pouted, lay on the sofa, looked at his uncle and asked: "I don't want to go home, I want to live here, is it okay? I still have to learn piano from my aunt, and I have to learn foreign languages ​​​​from Yanni." Well, I still have to, I still have to..."

"Zhidong!"

Zhou Yamei walked to the kitchen. Seeing her son making trouble, she reminded him loudly: "Why did mom tell you?"

"Oh~..."

When Fu Zhidong heard his mother's words, he pouted and stopped rubbing Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled, reached out and pinched his godson's already fleshy face.

"Zhidong wants to go back to Steel City because Zhidong's mother wants to go back to Steel City. So why does Zhidong's mother want to go back to Steel City?"

"have no idea"

Fu Zhidong looked up at his uncle, with grievances and doubts in his eyes.

You live here so well, why would you want to go back?

The family is not good, there are only him and his mother at home, and his mother is at work, so he has to play alone again.

There is no piano at home, no aunt, and no Yanni in school who can speak foreign languages.

Li Xuewu walked to the sofa, looked into his godson's eyes and said, "Zhidong's mother wants to go back to Steel City because Zhidong's mother's mother is in Steel City."

"It's grandma!"

Fu Zhidong tilted his head and said, "Grandma is in Steel City."

"Haha, Zhidong knows that he is looking for his mother, so does Zhidong's mother also want to look for her mother?"

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand to dry his son's hair. He asked with a smile and then went upstairs to change clothes. Tonight was the time to go back to his father-in-law's house.

Of course, my father-in-law left this afternoon, so my third uncle still took his plane.

My eldest brother-in-law and brother-in-law have also gone back a long time ago. They are both on active duty, so they are lucky to be able to come back to attend the wedding.

In ancient times, there were sayings such as "Hui Men" and "Zui Yueyi". Nowadays, most people go back to their father-in-law's house to have a meal. As for accommodation, they usually have to travel a long way.

It's even more inconvenient for Li Xuewu. It's not good for his mother-in-law and her mother-in-law.

"uncle!"

Just as Li Xuewu stepped up the stairs, Fu Zhidong lay on the armrest of the sofa and looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Then can I still come here in the future?"

"Haha, anytime"

Li Xuewu glanced at Zhou Yamei who was cleaning up the restaurant and said: "Uncle's home is your home."

He smiled and blinked his left eye with his godson, then turned and went upstairs.

When Gu Ning saw him entering the small living room, she just raised her head and glanced, then continued to lower her head and read.

Li Xuewu walked into the study and glanced at the desk with his hands on it. It was a medical book and he couldn't understand it.

He curled his lips and walked to the bathroom while taking off his clothes.

It's not too hot today, but it's a bit windy. There's sand in the wind, which is blowing from Mongolia.

It's that time of year when it's time to blow the sand, it's blowing everywhere.

It's fine on the street, but it disappears after blowing on it, but if it's inside the house, it still needs to be wiped.

The most uncomfortable thing is on the body, as if the skin is blocked, and the sweating makes it even more uncomfortable.

The villas here were still designed and decorated in the early years. After Li Xuewu got it, he only asked Master Dou to check it out.

Not to mention, the decoration back then is not outdated now, and the equipment is much higher than now.

For example, the bathroom system in a villa, needless to say, hot water supply, the principle is very simple, the key is comfort.

Ceramic tiles are money now, but what about those back then?

The key is that there is an American-style bathtub in the large bathroom. Hey, this is a thing.

It's just that now Li Xuewu doesn't want to use it, and the person outside the door doesn't cooperate with him.

In the past, when I went home, I would always hear Yu Li talking about things in the courtyard or the noise in the house.

Now Leng Buding suddenly became quiet, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

The sixth person on the first floor didn't know whether he was afraid of himself or Gu Ning. Anyway, he had been here for almost a week and hadn't said a few words to them.

Hey, Li Xuewu feels interesting when he thinks about the days to come.

why?

Because he is the only one in the family who likes to talk, and no one is competing with him to talk, so he can talk freely.

"Get ready. Let's go after I put on my clothes."

I glanced out of the master bedroom door and saw that Gu Ning was still looking, so I reminded him, and then went to the cloakroom to get dressed.

The clothes here are all new, even the ones Yu Li brought last night were newly made.

Li Xuewu habitually chose white and black, put on his watch, and left the room.

Gu Ning was no longer in the study. When she went downstairs, she was really ready and had even changed her shoes.

"homesick?"

Li Xuewu smiled and joked. Seeing that Gu Ning still ignored him, he curled his lips, changed his shoes and said hello to Zhou Yamei who came out.

Gu Ning said nothing since those few words she said in the car last night, and also after returning home in the evening.

At that time, I didn't talk to him, I just scratched him when I was anxious.

Li Xuewu didn't coax him, he did whatever he had to do, he just teased her from time to time.

Don't worry!

Li Xuewu drove the car, holding the steering wheel, glanced at Gu Ning in the passenger seat, and thought to himself: You wait until my mother-in-law's house!

Gu Ning did it on purpose. She was prepared not to talk to Li Xuewu for three days, but she never expected that she wouldn't last even one day.

When the jeep entered the compound gate, Xiao Qi greeted him with a smile and helped Li Xuewu carry the gift he had brought.

Ding Fengxia and Mu Hongyan had already greeted the car when it entered the hospital. They looked happier this time than every time they came back.

"Are you going to work today?"

"Yes, I went to work yesterday, and Xiao Ning is in class today."

Li Xuewu answered with a smile, and at the same time reached out to help Gu Ning take the bag.

Gu Ning felt that she was about to enter the house, but she didn't give him a few steps before she carried it through the door.

Okay, let Li Xuewu seize the opportunity.

As Ding Fengxia watched, her uncle's hand that went to help pick up the bag was frozen there for three or four seconds, and then he let it go instantly when she looked over.

The uncle's originally aggrieved eyes instantly turned away when he saw him looking over, and when he turned back again, they had become peaceful.

Look at my uncle’s shirt with the wrong buttons and socks of the wrong color...

Is this a quarrel between the young couple?

Looking at her uncle's actions and her eyes, Ding Fengxia made the correct judgment instantly.

When several people entered the house, the uncle smiled and talked to her about the family affairs, but the daughter just sat aside.

This situation that was so normal before seems abnormal to Ding Fengxia now.

When Gu Ning went to the bathroom, Ding Fengxia asked her uncle for a few words in a low voice.

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, just said it was nothing. He covered it up professionally, but left certain loopholes.

My childhood friend got into trouble with some hilarious gifts...

What's this!

Ding Fengxia didn't see anything to be angry about. Li Xuewu was already here, so what else could there be.

When she thought about her daughter's situation, Ding Fengxia understood instantly.

So during dinner, Li Xuewu received all the dishes from his mother-in-law, while Gu Ning opposite could only watch.

Li Xuewu also has a big appetite and eats quickly, and he cooperates well with his mother-in-law.

So after dinner, when Li Xuewu went to the living room to drink tea, Ding Fengxia left her daughter in the dining room.

Mu Hongyan made tea for Li Xuewu and looked at Li Xuewu again while serving the tea.

This kid can usually stand at attention when he comes home. Why did he put on the wrong socks when he came home today, and even buttoned them wrong.

"You button"

"What?"

Mu Hongyan placed the tea cup in front of Li Xuewu and reminded him again: "Don't you know you buttoned it wrong?"

After saying that, he gestured to the socks on Li Xuewu's feet and said, "Are you late from get off work? Are you in such a hurry to go out?"

"Oh~"

Li Xuewu looked down at the socks on his feet, smiled, and said, "Xiao Ning urged me to come here, but I was so anxious that I wore the wrong one."

"You are so sloppy!"

Mu Hongyan glanced at Li Xuewu and saw him changing his buttons one by one, then asked: "Who took care of you in the past? You can stand at attention in your clothes."

"my mother"

How could Li Xuewu's words be accurate? When Mu Hongyan asked, he just opened his mouth and left no chance for Mu Hongyan to be suspected.

"Every morning I go to my house to report, and my mother says it's OK before I can go to work."

When Mu Hongyan saw what Li Xuewu said, he couldn't help but grinned and said disgustedly: "Who will serve you in the army? You can't do the same, right?"

"That's not true"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "The socks in the army are all the same color, and the clothes and pants are all the same, so they are not bad. Sometimes I wash my own and steal other people's to wear, haha."
