Men and Women Eating in the Courtyard

Chapter 991 There Is Still a Legend About Him in the World

In the end, Yu Decai did not wait for Li Xuewu to come back. Instead, Peng Xiaoli came upstairs and told him that the leader had gone home for something.

There was no way. The bell for leaving get off work had already rung and the radio had started playing songs. He could only wait until he saw Li Xuewu tomorrow morning to talk about it.

"Nothing important, right?"

In fact, I just saw Peng Xiaoli hurriedly passing by the door. Before I could ask, he went downstairs.

Now I heard him say that Li Xuewu had gone home and he hadn't gotten in the car, so I mentioned it.

Sometimes, you need to understand the private affairs of the leader's family properly. Whether it is a wedding or a funeral, they will not take the initiative to invite you, but if you don't show up, there will be problems.

Yu Decai used to be the section chief of the Security Department, and now he is the deputy team leader of the Security Group.

Even if it is the leader's family affairs, even if the secretary has to keep his mouth shut, but it is not a big deal, you can still say something.

In essence, Peng Xiaoli is a clerk of the General Affairs Section, and Yu Decai is also his leader.

So when the other party asked, he simply explained: "It is said that the eldest sister-in-law in the family gave birth..."

"Giving birth?"

Yu Decai raised his eyebrows and smiled and said: "This is a good thing, and we should be there."

"Maybe there are other things, maybe"

Peng Xiaoli heard the meaning of Deputy Team Leader Yu's words and took the initiative to explain for the leader.

In fact, Deputy Team Leader Yu may not necessarily complain that the leader neglected personal interests for official business, but more to protect the leader.

But as a secretary, when talking about the leader's private affairs, you still have to cover it up to facilitate the leader's handling and explanation afterwards.

It is not a big problem to leave work a few minutes early, and the two of them just talked about this.

After speaking, they nodded, went back to the office to pack up their things, and also left work.

Li Xuewu originally planned to give Peng Xiaoli a ride, and he could also send him on the way to the Chinese medicine hospital.

But Peng Xiaoli refused with the excuse of going with Gu Cheng, knowing that the leader was in a hurry and there was no need to delay.

Giving birth is urgent, but it's not Li Xuewu's turn. So many people in the family are preparing, what can go wrong?

Li Xuewu has to go to the hospital because he and his eldest brother are the only two men in the family. His father is not at home, and brothers have to help each other.

Don't say that you can show up when something happens or you need help, and you can't delay work.

If giving birth is not a big deal, then what is a big deal?

You can do work at any time, and if you miss it between family members, you miss it.

So when Li Xuewu appeared in the corridor of the delivery room, the eldest brother Xuewen couldn't help but stand up from the wooden chair.

At the door of the delivery room, there were several people waiting on both sides of the corridor, either standing or sitting.

Shen Guodong, Sha Zhu, the seventh brother She Yongwen, the ninth brother Dai Yongxing, as well as the eldest brother Xuewen, his mother Liu Yin, and Ji Yuxiu.

"Xuewu"

"Wu Ge"

"Second Brother"

...

When he approached, everyone greeted him, and the eyes staring at the direction of the delivery room turned to him.

"How long did it take to send it?"

After Li Xuewu greeted everyone, he stood beside his mother and asked the eldest brother and others across from him.

The eldest brother Xuewen scratched his head. He was so panicked that he couldn't answer his question at this moment.

I don't know if he forgot the time or didn't listen to his question at all.

It was Shen Guodong and Sha Zhu who explained the situation in a few words.

Liu Yin also relaxed her nervousness at this moment. She squeezed her hands and said to her son: "It's almost time to make dinner. Yafang suddenly said that the water broke. There was no pain and no trouble. What do you think~"

She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, there was a preparation. Xuewen went to call Guodong and others. I took out the delivery bag that I had prepared earlier and wrapped it in a quilt and carried it to the car."

"Fortunately, yes, fortunately everything went well!"

Seeing his mother muttering about the nervousness at that time, Li Xuewu gently patted her with his hand on her shoulder and comforted her.

Shen Guodong stood by the wall with his arms folded, smiling and saying, "I got scared when Brother Xuewen shouted. We just collected the car and got there by chance."

"I was even more lucky!"

Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Xuewen shouted at the screen door, and I just entered the yard and put down the bag and just got a hand."

"Oh, there is strength in numbers"

Liu Yin said gratefully, "If you ask us mothers, we can't lift Yafang no matter what."

"Auntie, you are so polite"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Today I will help Xuewen, and tomorrow Diliya will give birth, so he can help me."

"Okay, okay"

Big brother Xuewen listened to everyone talking and relaxed his nerves. There was a little smile on his stiff face, and he promised Sha Zhu seriously.

This made Sha Zhu embarrassed. He said that asking Li Xuewen for help was just being polite to Aunt Liu.

Even if he needed help, he could call Shen Guodong or the back room, and there were plenty of people there.

He really didn't dare to ask a university teacher to help carry a pregnant woman.

Especially Li Xuewen's personality is different from Li Xuewu's. He was lively when he was young, but he became more stable when he grew up.

Unlike Li Xuewu, he was naughty when he was young and bad when he grew up. There was no pressure for them to gossip together.

At this moment, Li Xuewen was serious, which meant that he really accepted his kindness. It was originally a matter of neighbors helping each other, but it seemed that he was on good terms with this.

Seeing the sincerity of the eldest brother and the true meaning of Sha Zhu, Li Xuewu changed the topic without embarrassing the two people who were on different channels.

"Have you given a letter to Shan'er?"

He looked at his eldest brother and asked, "Do you want to tell dad, or let me pick him up in the car?"

"Notify me..."

Li Xuewen's mind is also in chaos now, he is not very clear and has no ability to think.

Li Xuewu didn't look at him anymore, but looked at his mother and asked, "How about telling dad tonight and picking him up in the car tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay, good tomorrow"

Liu Yin was originally going to agree to go to the mountain to pick her up tonight, but after hearing what her son said, she realized that it was already dark.

Going up the mountain at night is dangerous on the way out and just as dangerous on the way back.

Even after arriving home, there was no one who urgently needed his help. It was already late at night, so what could he see?

So when Li Xuewu mentioned that he would go to the mountain to pick up Li Shun tomorrow, she nodded happily and agreed.

Turning around again and seeing Ji Yuxiu in uniform, she asked with a smile: "Come from the work unit?"

"No~ we're at the door of the house"

Ji Yuxiu smiled and said: "As soon as I entered the alley, I heard someone said that my sister-in-law had given birth. I turned here without even entering the hospital."

After speaking, he blinked and said to the worried elder brother: "Don't worry, Dean Zhao said he was ready, everything will be fine."

"I know, I know"

Li Xuewen was mumbling, but his eyes were looking straight at the delivery room. I'm afraid he didn't even hear what Ji Yuxiu said.

Ji Yuxiu glanced at him helplessly, and then smiled at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at his elder brother with understanding, waved to Shazhu, Guodong and others, and motioned them to go out and talk.

It’s only been a while since I was carried from home to entering the delivery room. Giving birth, especially a natural birth, requires waiting.

It can be seen that Shen Guodong and others have been tired for a whole day, and it is hard work to do this trip again.

After going downstairs, I smoked a cigarette with a few people and arranged for them to go home first.

Even if you want to express your gratitude, you have to choose a time later, or when it's a full moon, or when you're a hundred years old, and let your eldest brother toast to a few people while he's serving wine.

At this moment, he sent a few people away and went upstairs to the office of Zhao Yufeng, the deputy director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

It was as if he knew that Li Xuewu would come, or that the doorman called him. He was already off work now and was still waiting for him in the office.

"Li Chu, come in quickly"

Zhao Yufeng was very polite. When he saw Li Xuewu standing at the door, he quickly stood up from behind the desk and went to the door to greet him.

Li Xuewu also smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand, chanting words of thanks.

"Dean Zhao, thank you very much. I just heard my mother talking about you."

"Oh, why are you so polite as a family!"

Zhao Yufeng waved his hand pretending to be impatient, and then said with a smile: "I was afraid that they would be under pressure if I stayed there, so I went back to the office and waited for the news."

Saying this, he asked Li Xuewu to sit on the sofa, and a secretary cleverly came in to make tea.

"Don't worry. Not to mention your father's side, it's our relationship. How can I not care about it?"

"I heard that everything has been arranged."

Li Xuewu acknowledged his help with a smile, took the tea cup brought by the secretary and thanked him softly, and then said to Zhao Yufeng: "I just discussed with my family to pick my dad back up tomorrow."

"It should!"

Zhao Yufeng raised his head slightly and agreed: "I'm holding my grandson. This is a happy event for the family, as it should be."

“Should I say it, it’s hard to be in the mountains even in the middle of winter, ugh~”

After saying that, he sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's fate that makes people do things, it's forced by the situation."

"Look what you said, I didn't complain to you!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Even if I complain, I can't complain to you. Zhao Xia is still on the mountain, suffering just as much."

"Young and young, there is nothing wrong with enduring hardship."

Zhao Yufeng looked at Li Xuewu and smiled and said: "If our Zhao Xia has one-tenth of your ability, I will not force him to endure hardship."

"But who said he doesn't have this ability!"

After saying that, he felt quite helpless when someone else's child wanted to beat his own child, and he shook his head.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If you say that, my father will have to tell you the history of my youth and frivolity when he comes back."

"Hahaha~"

Zhao Yufeng obviously knew something. He laughed out loud at this moment, but he said firmly: "Tao boy, Tao boy, if you don't do it, you won't be a good boy!"

After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said: "If Zhao Xia could get results like yours, he wouldn't be able to go to college. He would still look like he is indifferent to all kinds of things."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to him. I saw you, and I saw him getting even more angry. Let's squat down on the mountain."

"Don't say anything!"

Li Xuewu picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "I heard from the third child that Zhao Xia has a good brain. What he memorized three times, Zhao Xia can memorize it once."

He praised it, took a sip of hot tea, and joked: "Don't wait for Zhao Xia and his colleagues to finish their internship. We have been apart for three days, and you will be impressed!"

"Haha! Then I'll be burning incense!"

Although Zhao Yufeng didn't say anything, he was extremely happy when his son was praised, especially by Li Xuewu.

There are only two kinds of goodness in the eyes of men in this world, one is the goodness of other people's wives, and the other is the goodness of one's own children.

No matter how incompetent your child is, if you can speak up for yourself, the slightest comment from others will feel like it is too much.

Li Xuewu is a talkative and transparent person. How could the two of them poke their lungs while sitting here talking.

However, Zhao Yufeng knew very well that Li Xuewu was young, talented, arrogant, especially with a profound background and outstanding abilities.

He was in his early twenties, held a high position, and had a great reputation. He really didn't see much, especially after liberation.

Such an outstanding young man would not please others easily. If his son can do it, then he can do it. If his son can't do it, he can do it.

"Speaking of which, I want to say thank you to your dad."

Zhao Yufeng nodded and said seriously: "Zhao Xia always mentions your father's teachings in his letters, and he teaches them with all his money. He is a rare famous teacher."

"Hey, didn't I tell you everything~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Zhao Xia's brain is very easy to use. My dad likes it, and it is easy to teach, unlike me."

At this moment, he laughed at himself: "My dad used a small tree stick to whip me, and my arms turned red, but I just didn't learn from him, which made him so angry."

"What kind of fate is this?"

Zhao Yufeng looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "Blessed people don't have to worry about it. Unfortunate people have no business. It's your turn to take this path."

"My dad would have listened to you! Haha~"

Li Xuewu glanced at the other party with a smile, put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his head slightly and said: "Some things really can't be said!"

"Look, when this medical office is set up on the mountain, how many people will praise you and say that you have foresight!"

"Oh~ Just don't scold me~"

Zhao Yufeng smiled bitterly, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I heard that the steel rolling mill has adopted foreign trade channels and is developing very well now!"

"What a coincidence~"

Li Xuewu knew what he was going to say, nodded and explained: "At the Yangcheng Export Commodity Fair, our factory's small hardware and kitchen hardware were exhibited and sold, and I met some foreign businessmen."

"That's not easy either!"

Zhao Yufeng affirmed: "This is not the first time that an export trade fair has been held. It is rare to see one that really makes a name for itself!"

“No big development can be seen yet”

Li Xuewu nodded slightly and said: "The main thing is to expand the economic capacity and solve part of the production overflow."

"That's it, I thought..."

Zhao Yufeng glanced at Li Xuewu and before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea.

For a moment, he didn't speak, and Li Xuewu didn't know how to explain it, so he became a little cold.

However, it was Li Xuewu who took the initiative and said: "Wu Feng Hong intends to set up a food factory in the mainland, and we won the order."

"Food industry?"

Zhao Yufeng thought for a while and asked: "Is it the reprocessing of agricultural and sideline products or the processing of non-staple food?"

“They all have it, it’s a big category”

Li Xuewu paused and explained: "The drinks are mainly liquor, the non-staple food is mainly canned, and the multi-functional food processing plant handles the reprocessing of agricultural and sideline products."

"This is really...a huge plan."

Zhao Yufeng nodded and looked at Li Xuewu sincerely, waiting for his next words.

Li Xuewu did not hang on to him, and said seriously: "The development of the food industry will inevitably include the pharmaceutical industry in the future. This is the inevitable development direction."

Saying this, he looked at Zhao Yufeng with a smile and said: "Otherwise we would not cooperate with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to develop the Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute on the mountain."

"Haha~"

Zhao Yufeng chuckled and nodded, then said thoughtfully: "I thought of this, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Well, it's just that the time is not yet ripe."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "The current work of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine is progressing slowly, and the basic construction process will inevitably take time. There is no way."

"I understand, I know this business better than you"

Zhao Yufeng nodded and agreed: "A veteran Chinese medicine practitioner may not be able to thoroughly study one prescription all his life, let alone study it in multiple directions."

"Alas~"

As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I still have to wait."

"Well, I'm afraid so."

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at the other party and said: "If we cooperate with universities, or recruit special talents through channels to join the cooperation, it may be accelerated."

"I'll figure this out"

Zhao Yufeng frowned slightly and said: "We have already considered what you said, but the situation... you will understand even if I don't tell you."

After speaking, he pointed to the north and said: "The stall on the mountain is not easy either. At least it is a place to settle down and live, so I don't dare to move easily."

"Yeah, I understand."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Your caution is justified. You cannot just look at the immediate interests."

"I didn't accept death~"

Zhao Yufeng smiled helplessly and explained: "You may not know the risks within our system. I'm not asking for a favor from you."

He said softly and seriously: "Our hospital is already a bit stretched even if we find a reliable delivery team. Think about it."

"Yes, I understand"

Li Xuewu nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

Not to mention hospitals outside the capital, there are hospitals within the capital. During this period of time, and even for a long time to come, no one in the hospital can deliver babies. There are many cases of births that can suffocate mothers to death.

Just think about how ridiculous the life experience of the writer who was a dentist was.

Now ask a junior high school student to pull out your teeth with a vise. Do you dare to use it?

Zhao Yufeng said that he was not asking for favors, but his words were full of bitterness and hard work.

Li Xuewu couldn't forget this favor, so he also gave the other party a bottom line today. He would not forget the Chinese medicine hospital for foreign trade orders in the future.

Don't say that mother Liu Yin and sister-in-law are stubborn and don't want to give birth at Gu Ning's unit, let alone say that it's convenient to live nearby.

It's the same everywhere. Since you come here for connections, as long as someone extends a hand, you have to remember their kindness.

Li Xuewu is not afraid of owing favors to those people in the military hospital, and Gu Ning is even less afraid, but she just doesn't know how to repay them.

Since Zhao Yufeng of the Chinese medicine hospital took the initiative to do the work, it is convenient to give birth here.

First, mother and sister-in-law have no psychological pressure, and second, he also knows how to repay this favor.

After all, his business and Zhao Yufeng's business are cooperative, and they have a mutual care, and everything comes out.

Zhao Yufeng is confident that he is definitely not asking for favors from Li Xuewu, but to make the relationship closer and more reliable.

With Li Xuewu's current background and ability, this kid will soar to the sky sooner or later.

Even if there is no greater possibility in the future, the steel mill has great power in this small piece of land in Dongcheng.

What's more, Li Xuewu still has a position in the garrison area and has influence in the branch.

Putting Li Xuewu aside, Li Shun's sons are not ordinary characters.

The eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law don't seem to have much ability now, they are just teachers.

But university teachers, whether they are doing research or politics and education, are a great starting point.

What is the level of the president of Huaqing, and what position does the vice president of Huaqing have when he goes out? This starting point is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Even Li Xuecai, who is in the same class with his son, is the least scheming kid in the Li family, but he also has some real strength.

Li Shun has been taught since he was a child, and it is definitely not what Li Xuewu said, that Zhao Xia is smart, and Li Xuecai has to remember things three times after remembering them once.

It's okay to joke about the surface words, but you're a fool if you believe them.

The whole family is capable people, and it's not okay to repay them. He just wants to get in touch with them.

Hearing that Li Shun's daughter has already started working, he will try to propose marriage to Zhao Xia after she graduates in a few years. It will definitely be a good marriage.

Others say that Li Shun is honest and incompetent, but in Zhao Yufeng's opinion, he is very wise.

At least he is better than him in educating children.

The two talked in the office for a while, and felt that the time was about right, so they walked downstairs together.

Zhao Yufeng was wearing a white coat and was not conspicuous when walking beside Li Xuewu, but that was in the eyes of Liu Yin and others.

Who in this hospital doesn't know who Vice President Zhao is? He accompanied Li Xuewu to the delivery room, and the director of obstetrics was waiting at the door early.

"Director Zhao, it went smoothly"

"Give birth?"

Zhao Yufeng was slightly stunned when he saw her outside, nodded and asked: "Is everything arranged?"

"I arranged it myself"

The director of obstetrics had just come out of the delivery room, and his face was exhausted. Li Xuewu took the initiative to shake hands and say hello.

Zhao Yufeng briefly introduced the two, emphasizing Li Shun's relationship, but did not say much about Li Xuewu's identity.

But even from the attitude and address of Dean Zhao towards him, the obstetric director could hear the clues.

Such a young department-level cadre, it sounds really scary!

Dr. Li was quiet at work, honest and dutiful on weekdays, and I didn't expect to have such a promising son.

They all knew that the eldest son and daughter-in-law were university teachers, but it was the first time to hear that the second son was so amazing.

Li Xuewu smiled and thanked the other party again, saying that he would thank his father Li Shun formally when he came back.

The obstetric director was so smart, while leading them to the ward, he smiled and teased, saying that he didn't need to thank them, but he had to eat the full moon banquet.

It is said that when you succeed, you are surrounded by smiling faces, and this is true.

Since Li Xuewu made progress, he rarely saw people yelling at him.

Even when he had such a quarrel with Yu Daru and others, he didn't see the other party say anything harsh.

So, deputy director level is just the beginning of career, and anything below that is a joke.

In the ward, mother Liu Yin and Ji Yuxiu were busy, while the eldest brother was squatting by the bed, staring at the newborn in the swaddling clothes with burning eyes.

Seeing Zhao Yufeng and the director of obstetrics coming over, the doctor in charge of the bed and the head nurse also came in.

Knowing that this is a relative household, I didn't expect that the relationship is so strong. Not only did Dean Zhao personally arrange the delivery and postpartum wards, but he also came to visit in person after delivery.

This is really... a rare situation.

The director of obstetrics delivered the baby, so he naturally knew about Zhao Yafang's situation. At this moment, he stood by the bed and looked at the parturient, and then gave everyone a brief introduction in a soft voice.

After the introduction, Zhao Yufeng nodded in affirmation, and then explained the nursing care to Liu Yin and Ji Yuxiu.

The head nurse took the initiative to take over the conversation, saying that there are always people taking care of it here, so there is no need to worry about postpartum care.

Although it is Li Shun's work unit, it is possible to get such a positive attitude, and the family can't help but be surprised and relieved.

Li Xuewen's eyes were fixed on the child. He stood up to deal with Zhao Yufeng and others, but his eyes were still on the child.

Li Xuewu took a look at the child while they were talking. The child was small, wrinkled, and a little black, with some stains on the exposed head.

Zhao Yafang saw his eyes, smiled gently and nodded. Li Xuewu saw it and smiled in response.

The eldest sister-in-law was thanking herself. No matter how kind her father-in-law's work unit was, it would not let the director take the initiative to care about her.

The only person in this family who could be related to the hospital was her second brother-in-law.

But at this moment, she was so tired that she could only smile and could not speak.

Li Xuewu just glanced at the child and listened to the head nurse's words. He did not say anything about his own gratitude, but expressed his gratitude to everyone in the name of his father.

At this time, Han Jiankun, who had been waiting outside the door, came in with a lot of paper bags in his hands.

Li Xuewu smiled and introduced: "I will tell you about my thanks when my father comes back tomorrow. Take the wedding candy and cigarettes first, as a token of our family's gratitude."

"You're welcome~"

He took the paper bags that had been wrapped long ago from Han Jiankun and handed them to everyone in the room.

The obstetrics director and the head nurse and others certainly did not dare to take them. They said polite words, but their eyes looked at Zhao Yufeng.

Zhao Yufeng took the bag after hearing Li Xuewu's earnest words. When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed wedding candy and wedding cigarettes.

The difference was that there was half a pound of candy and two boxes of cigarettes, but they were Zhonghua cigarettes, which was really generous.

This gift was not too much, but not too little. It just hit the bottom line of everyone.

Otherwise, how could the second son of the Li family make a name for himself in Dongcheng? Even Gu Haitao was willing to recruit him as a son-in-law. This matter was really a trick.

Seeing Zhao Yufeng accept the gift, the director of obstetrics, the ward doctor, the head nurse and others also accepted it.

Li Xuewu asked Han Jiankun to send the remaining gifts to the office and asked the people in the room to say thank you to those who didn't see him.

Look at what he said and what he did!

Seeing that man came in with a lot of bags in his hands, I thought he would share them with everyone in the room and put them away.

Unexpectedly, no matter how many people participated in the delivery, the gifts must be redundant, but they were all sent to the office, saying thank you again.

It gave people both inner and outer pride, and also fulfilled the words that they had just asked Li Shun to come and personally thank them.

Otherwise, how could they say that he was the director? There was nothing wrong with being able to reach this position.

Some people had previously muttered in their hearts that Li Shun's eldest son was a little dull or unsophisticated.

They had not thought about getting any gifts, let alone receiving such a face-saving thank you in front of the leader.

It was just that they had all been sent to the ward, the mother and child were safe, and everything went smoothly. It was your father's workplace, so it was enough to say something nice.

People are like this, even if it is a job that should be taken for granted, they still require a sense of peace of mind and unexpected surprise.

Now it's all right, one by one, polite, weighing the bag in their hands, just seeing the slightly surprised look of Dean Zhao, I knew that the gift in my hand was not "light".

After sending everyone away, Li Xuewu did not enter the ward to disturb his sister-in-law again.

Seeing his mother and Ji Yuxiu tidying up the ward, he said something to his eldest brother and walked out.

Ji Yuxiu can't be used for nursing, she has to go to work, and mother can't do it alone.

Even if a clumsy elder brother is added, it will be useless. It's good enough that he doesn't cause trouble. He doesn't touch the dishes at home.

So after leaving the hospital, Li Xuewu asked Han Jiankun to go back to the compound first.

It was also a coincidence that the command car just stopped at the gate and saw Li Xue hurriedly coming out of the yard with a bag.

"Second brother?"

"Well, what are you doing?"

Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement. Li Xue was most afraid of cold, and now her scarf covered her face tightly, leaving only her eyes.

"I just came back!"

Li Xue complained: "Deputy Director Jing is working overtime. The merger case will be presented at a meeting tomorrow. We need to come up with a plan tonight!"

As he said this, he shook the bag in his hand and asked: "Did my sister-in-law give birth? What did she give birth to?"

"Haha, what did she give birth to?!"

Li Xuewu chuckled and tapped her forehead, teasing her: "She gave birth to Sun Wukong!"

"Oh~ You are teasing me again!"

Li Xue reluctantly shook off his big hand and asked curiously: "Is it a boy?"

She was smart and knew that Sun Wukong was a boy. She had guessed it now.

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying: "You have a nephew."

"Really!"

Li Xue's face instantly bloomed with excitement. At this moment, she couldn't stand on her feet and said that she was going to the hospital.

"It's dark!"

Li Xuewu grabbed her scarf and said unhappily: "What did I tell you? You are not allowed to walk alone at night. Don't you remember?"

After that, he opened the car door and motioned her to get in.

Only then did Li Xue realize that her second brother wanted the driver to take her there.

"It's not far, just a few steps after turning a corner..."

She wanted to explain, but her second brother's eyes became serious, so she stuffed the rest of her words back into her stomach.

She was not allowed to walk on the street at night, not only her, but also all the women in the family, and even the men.

Even the guys in the recycling station knew that they had to go home before dark.

These days, even in the city, it's not peaceful. If someone is really killed and thrown into the ditch, it's normal not to be found for ten days or half a month.

The current city doesn't have a population of 20 million, let alone crowded people.

There are always people saying that there is a murder case somewhere, and a girl is harmed somewhere. Anyway, it's all mysterious.

Ji Yuxiu rides a donkey to go to and from work. Even the hips in their station, someone will send her, or ride a bicycle, but with a gun on the waist.

Nanluoguxiang is a restricted area for both the hooligans and the little ones.

Everyone knows how dangerous this place is. Last year, many people lost their heads because of some things.

The new gangsters may not know who Li Xuewu is, but the old guns have taught them that Li Erba is the kind of person who kills people without paying for his life.

Don't ask who Li Erba is. As long as you see a big scar on his face, he is quite tall and strong, don't mess with him, be careful of being shot.

It can be said that Li Xuewu is no longer in the world, but there are still legends about him in the world.

Han Jiankun was asked to send Li Xue off, and he stepped into the courtyard.

The days are short in winter, but the time to get off work is basically the same, so the courtyard eats on time as always.

When he came back, the courtyard had already finished eating, and there were people on duty at the gate.

Maybe they were playing cards, but Li Xuewu had been talking at the door for a long time. Now he came in, and there was only a room full of people staring at each other, no playing cards, and no noise.

They really didn't know that Li Xuewu would come back at this time. If he hadn't blocked the gate, these guys would have run away long ago.

Li Xuewu didn't care about catching gamblers, but these guys were scared when they saw him, especially in the dark. Scarface looked at him and trembled.

Seeing seven or eight boys sitting in the house without saying a word, Li Xuewu just felt funny.

He glanced at them and walked straight to the yard. The lights were on in the back room, and the boys were reading.

He didn't go to the west room, but passed the hanging flower gate and looked at his own home.

Seeing the old lady sitting alone on the kang smoking a pipe, he went into the house.

"Why are you back?"

"Just came back from the hospital"

Li Xuewu smiled and touched the head of the kang, and sat down next to the edge of the kang.

"Have you had dinner?"

"Don't worry, I ate with the back room."

The old lady smiled, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Are Yafang and the others all right?"

"Yes! They are all fine~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Congratulations to you, you have a great-grandson!"

"Hahaha~ Great!"

The old lady was obviously a little nervous, her fingers pinched the pipe, and now she loosened them and smiled.

Li Xuewu went downstairs to pour her a cup of hot water and put it on the kang, and reminded her, "The weather is dry in winter, smoking makes your throat cough, drink more water."

"Okay, I know."

The old lady looked at her grandson with a smile and said, "In a few days, you will also become a father, and my happiness is double happiness."

"You are right."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying, "You will be troubled by then, and the child will be on the kang and you will not be able to handle it."

"That would be great!"

The old lady smiled and said, "It's a great joy to have many children and grandchildren, and to have more people. I'm not angry, I have to smile!"

"Wait a minute, you're being stubborn now"

Li Xuewu teased her for a few words, and then explained, "I met Li Xue when she went out, and I asked a car to take her to the hospital."

"Yeah, I see"

The old lady nodded and said, "Tell me, it's not far, I'm also worried, I was just thinking about it."

"No, you can't go at night no matter how far it is"

Li Xuewu emphasized, and then said, "My sister-in-law has to stay in the hospital for three or two days after giving birth. Yuxiu and Li Xue have to go to work, and my mother can't handle it alone, so she has to find someone to help."

"Where's Xuewen?"

The old lady was obviously stunned, and then thought of the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, which refers to outsiders like Qin Jingru, not family members.

Whether it's Yu Li or Qin Jingru, the old lady has long been accustomed to her grandson's lifestyle and personality.

He is not vague when it is time to spend money, and he is not stingy when it is time to be generous. He is capable and organized. I have to say that the second grandson is thoughtful.

It's just a few days and he needs to ask someone for help. Should he give money or things? Too much or too little is not appropriate.

She was vague and asked, "Why don't I go, don't bother me."

"Don't worry about the money, I want to worry about you!"

Li Xuewu smiled and held the old lady's hand, and said softly, "It's just a few days. My mother can't hold on alone, especially with the children."

"Do you want to find someone in the courtyard?"

The old lady was very clear-headed. When her grandson finished speaking, she already knew what he meant.

Asking someone for help at this time also means being a bourgeois tail, and most people will not take risks easily.

Although the old lady doesn't go out usually, she knows a lot.

Li Xuewu didn't hide it either. He pointed to the backyard and said, "I want to find a aunt, but I'm afraid that my family can't take care of it. I can only ask Qin Huairu's mother-in-law for help. I'll go and ask."

The old lady raised her head slightly and nodded, saying, "That's what I mean. If you want to feel at ease and have control over your hands, you can only ask her."

"Don't tell me what to give."

Li Xuewu gently patted the old lady's hand and said, "I will say that you asked me to ask her to go, as a favor."

"Give me ten yuan, all the money, help take care of her until she is discharged from the hospital, saving my mother from the hard work, and she will have time to come back to cook and nourish my sister-in-law, so you can rest assured."

"Yes, just say what I said, ask her for help."

The old lady nodded and said, "She may offend people harshly, but she is not a bad person. She has work to do, and we live in the same courtyard. Go ahead."

"Okay, then I'll go ask first."

Li Xuewu stood up and said to the old lady as he walked out of the house, "I'll come back to talk to you if I have anything to say."

As he said this, he went out of the door, greeted the people in the courtyard, and introduced Zhao Yafang's situation and the happy event that the Li family had an eldest son and grandson.

While talking, I passed the second door and saw the lights of Jia's house were on. I walked over and said hello when I was approaching the door: "Sister Qin, are you at home?"

"Hey, here we come."

Qin Huairu recognized Li Xuewu's voice, stood up and saw his figure from the window, and hurriedly opened the door curtain.

"Hey! Why are you here? Is Avon alive? I heard about it when I came back."

She was very quick-tongued and asked a lot of questions like a machine gun. She was talking when Li Xuewu entered the room.

The three of them were doing homework at the dinner table. When they saw Li Xuewu coming in, they all greeted him in surprise.

Li Xuewu smiled and said hello to Jia Zhang who came out of the back room. Then he pinched Banggeng's big fat face and responded to the three children's greetings.

"Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty"

Seeing Qin Huairu want to pour him water, she quickly waved her hand to refuse, and she obeyed and sat down at the dining table.

"I just got back from settling in with the hospital. Mother and son are safe and going well."

"What a good thing!"

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I'm just talking about the big belly in Avon. How is the child? How much does it weigh?"

"I haven't even had a chance to ask yet."

Li Xuewu smiled, glanced at Jia Zhang who was standing aside, and said, "Isn't this? I'm in a hurry. I have never experienced this, and my brother is not prepared."

What this means is that the eldest brother Xuewen did not take the mother-in-law over, but to be honest, it would be inconvenient for the whole family over there if the mother-in-law did.

This was a pretext. After saying this, Li Xuewu went straight to the point and said: "The old lady told me to ask Aunt Zhang to help take care of her."
