Lin Tingting said nonchalantly: "That's not for a new house. He took the back room and the small yard allocated by the steel rolling mill and made it his own. He ran a waste recycling station, the same one we used to have, and he made another one in the yard.

To buy a new house, this time it’s time to buy the materials for the new house.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," an older lady at another counter who had just dismissed the customer said, "See, it's our Tingting who has a good fortune. We have two houses in one courtyard, the section chief of the steel rolling mill, and a recycling worker.

Stop, this golden turtle son-in-law delivered it to the door by himself, but Tingting still said it was just so-so."

The eldest lady at the cash register at the door said while collecting the receipts: "Since Tingting seems to be average, we don't want this one. Wait until the eldest sister introduces you to a good one one day. I will give this one to my niece. My niece likes it like this. "The conditions are average.

"Hahahaha"

Lin Tingting knew that the eldest sister was teasing her, so she responded with a smile: "That relationship is great. When he comes again, I will introduce him to you, and I will wait for you to introduce me to a better one."

The eldest sister asked with a smile: "Really? Then I will have someone come to your door to mention the blind date."

Seeing that the eldest sister was half joking and half serious, Lin Tingting turned her head and walked towards the counter, saying: "Tch~ What a good person."

Although he said it hard, he didn't say anything to ask the eldest sister to propose a blind date and introduce them to each other.

This expression made the ladies at the counter look at each other, laugh, and go about their business.

Li Xuewu drove the carriage back home, and someone happened to come to sell scraps. Li Xuewu didn't bother his grandma, and made several trips by himself. The remaining sewing machine was carried in by his grandma after collecting the scraps.

When Liu Yin was carrying it into the courtyard, she saw it and complained that Li Xuewu was spending money indiscriminately. He still bought some things at home. Why didn't he know how to buy a radio or something? It was a waste to buy a sewing machine.

Li Xuewu chuckled twice and said, "Sooner or later, I have to buy it." Then he and his grandma carried the sewing machine to the new house in the backyard.

Liu Yin feels that her son is getting farther and farther away from her. Unlike when he was a child, he always told her everything. Now, except for daily conversations, his son no longer talks to her about his worries or asks for his opinions. Liu Yin is quite optimistic.

Because there is a feeling of reluctance.

The pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments were placed in the kitchen. While grandma was not around, I took out the rice and white noodles from the space and put them in the cabinet under the kitchen counter.

The thermos bottle and tea set are temporarily placed in the living room and will not be used for the time being.

The enamel basin was placed in the bathroom, as were the two brooms and the shovel.

After cleaning up, I locked the door and rode to the small courtyard by Haizi.

Li Xuewu now seems to "come and go without a trace", and sometimes his family doesn't even know where he has gone.

But I knew that the nature of his work was special, so I never asked why he didn't come back to stay at night. This was especially true since Li Xuewu moved to the opposite room.

Now that the house in the backyard has been repaired, I am not in a hurry to live in the backyard because even if the current decoration materials are environmentally friendly, they still have a pungent smell, including the paint, so they need to be ventilated for a while.

Li Xuewu will use this time to prepare the indoor furniture and soft furnishings, and he can move in directly after the smell is gone.

When I woke up, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and Lou Xiao'e was still sleeping. This woman seemed to be particularly good at sleeping.

Li Xuewu thought about Lou Xiao'e's future, and also thought about his own future. He had seen this kind of thing a lot in his work unit in his previous life, and there was no psychological barrier. In two lifetimes, as long as he has the ability, can he still suffer a loss?

Just explain everything openly and clearly, or just understand each other. There is no need to fight to the death. Emotions are heart-to-heart. There is no point in tying two people together with wires if there is no emotion.

Li Xuewu got up and put on his clothes, and Lou Xiao'e woke up.

"go home?"

"No, something happened"

"Dating?"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's lazy look, Li Xuewu pinched her tender little face.

"You're going out to meet a ghost at this time. What are you thinking about? It's about work. You've eaten enough, and I have to earn another meal."

Lou Xiao'e opened Li Xuewu's strange hand with her hand and put her arm under his head, exposing the two upper semicircles.

This bad guy won't lie to himself. If he says something about work, it must be because something is wrong at work. But he never tells himself about things at work, nor does he ask.

"It's time to find a partner. It's already 20 during the Chinese New Year. Isn't your family in a hurry to find you a partner?"

Li Xuewu knew what Lou Xiao'e meant. He just felt insecure and was afraid that he would dislike her and restrain himself. He must have quite a conflicting mentality now.

Li Xuewu put on his shoes and said to Lou Xiao'e: "The leader arranged a blind date, but it didn't work out. What? You want to drive me away?"

Lou Xiao'e twisted around and lay on the kang, staring at the ceiling, and said with a smile: "What's mine is mine. If it's not mine, it's not mine. If I chase you away, will you leave?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Lou Xiao'e and asked: "Can't you stay at home any longer? Why are you starting to have random thoughts?"

Lou Xiao'e did not look at Li Xuewu and said: "I went back to my mother's house yesterday."

Li Xuewu's hand tying his shoelaces paused slightly, then continued the movement of his hand and asked: "Have you told our mother about our affairs?"

Lou Xiao'e laughed, and then scolded: "Who is your mother? Don't get too close."

Li Xuewu didn't take it seriously and jumped down to put on his shirt while staring at Lou Xiao'e.

Seeing Li Xuewu's eager eyes, Lou Xiao'e pulled up the quilt and said: "I'm serious about telling you, I told my mother about our relationship."

"What did our mother say?"

Lou Xiao'e did not correct Li Xuewu's title, but said bitterly: "What else can I say? I scolded me, then hugged me and cried for a while, complaining that I was blind back then."

Li Xuewu leaned over Lou Xiao'e's head, supported both sides with his hands, looked down at Lou Xiao'e, and asked: "What about our dad?"

Lou Xiao'e's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and she choked and said: "I scolded you some unpleasant words, let me leave you and find a good home."

Li Xuewu leaned over and kissed him, then asked: "Then why did you come back?"

Lou Xiao'e wiped her tears with the quilt and waited for a while before saying: "I am an adult. If I want to leave, can he keep me?"

Li Xuewu leaned over again and kissed Lou Xiao'e's forehead, comforting him: "Let's go back together when we have time and have a good chat with the two elders."

Lou Xiao'e raised her hand and gently touched Li Xuewu's face, and said: "What are you talking about? There is a problem with their arranged marriage. I just want to find my own happiness now, and they won't try hard to stop it."

Li Xuewu looked down at Lou Xiao'e and said: "Don't be resentful, it's all my fault."

Lou Xiao'e lightly slapped Li Xuewu on the face and said angrily: "Don't take the wrong thing for yourself, it has nothing to do with you. My parents are just angry that I don't live up to expectations. I have thought about it. Who said that women must find men to marry?"

, I am not planning to get married, I will be an independent concubine.”

Seeing Li Xuewu frowning, Lou Xiao'e pulled down Li Xuewu's head with both hands and kissed it gently, saying: "Stop thinking nonsense, it will get better slowly. My mother is also an aunt. If there hadn't been a turmoil, my father would have

After my aunts and brothers are sent away, am I still the same?"

Li Xuewu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still need to make it clear to the second elder."

Lou Xiao'e gently patted Li Xuewu's forehead and said: "Stop frowning, and don't worry about it. It's fine now. Let's wait until they calm down. You should look for someone to find someone, and I will watch over you.

Guard this courtyard"

Li Xuewu knew that Lou Xiao'e was thinking a lot, so he kissed her and stood up, saying: "There is a case that I can't get away from now. Let's wait until the case is over and I'll make an appointment with our dad."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xuewu and said: "I am content to have you as "our dad". We have a lot of relationships like this. Stop thinking about it and go to work."

Li Xuewu looked at Lou Xiao'e, who still had tears on her eyelashes, and asked, "If you want to go out to work, go out. I'll keep you at home so that you don't think too much."

Lou Xiao'e said "Humph": "Whose aunt did you see going out to work to make money? I don't go out, so I rely on you to make money to support me."

Li Xuewu pinched Lou Xiao'e's nose, knowing that she wanted to hide herself and was afraid of causing trouble to Li Xuewu. After all, no matter how big the capital is, you can always meet acquaintances.

"Then it's agreed, I'll support you."

Seeing Lou Xiao'e crinkling her nose, Li Xuewu let go of his hand and said, "What kind of pet do you want to keep? A cat or a dog."

Lou Xiao'e pinched her nose and said: "I really think I am a concubine from the old society.

Now, let’s take care of the cats and dogs. My mother has thrown away all the ones I raised in the past. Not to mention they are expensive and the food is exquisite. I am too lazy to take care of myself, so why should I take care of it?”

Li Xuewu had already put on his leather jacket and was getting ready to leave.

"You have to make a living, why not? Sleep at home every day?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said: "Find me some books, economics-related and mathematics. I want to learn knowledge."

Li Xuewu knew that "Mr. Lou" had family business genes, and he would definitely let Mr. Lou show off his talents if there was an opportunity in the future.

"Okay, I get it, I'll give you a look." After saying that, he waved his hand to Lou Xiao'e and left the room.

Books of this type are still easy to find now, and there are many at the Dong'an Flea Market, but I can't say for sure next year.

It was getting a bit cold in the afternoon. Li Xuewu's body was hot from sleeping. He shivered when he was hit by the cold wind. He tightened his leather jacket and pushed his bicycle out the door to the steel rolling mill.

.

After entering the factory gate, I did not go to store the car. Instead, I rode directly to the office building, went up to the main building and entered Dong Wenxu's office.

When Dong Wenxue saw Li Xuewu come in, he grinned and asked, "Are you in such a hurry? You can't be in a hurry when handling a case."

Li Xuewu did not refute but said: "Don't worry, he has been hiding in the cave for so many years, and it will be a day sooner or a day later to get out of the cave. In fact, he is more anxious than me."

Dong Wenxue smiled and shook his head to express his disbelief. The plan was set in the morning, and he was supposed to rest in the afternoon. Now that he is here again, isn't he anxious?

Li Xuewu squatted and rummaged through Dong Wenxu's tea cabinet and saw two tea barrels in iron boxes. One barrel had "Liu'an Guapian" written on the lid, and the other had "Biluochun" written on it.

The packaging of the tea barrel with "Lu'an Guapian" written on it is very simple, just a gray iron box with a label on the lid.

"Biluochun" is in a red painted box with colorful labels.

Li Xuewu took two tea buckets and asked: "Teacher, which of these two teas is better?"

"Whether tea is good or bad depends on personal taste," Dong Wenxue replied nonchalantly. Then he looked at the tea in Li Xuewu's hand and pointed at Biluochun's hand and said, "The one with the red box is better. Without looking at the packaging, it's better."

How about another one?”

Li Xuewu put the iron box of Biluochun back into the cabinet and said: "Then I will take this Lu'an Guapian. Of course I will leave the good ones to the teacher."

After saying that, he closed the cabinet door, stood up, took the tea bucket and sat on the sofa.

Dong Wenxue said in a dumbfounded voice: "You even called me the wrong name. Do you know how to drink tea? Why don't you practice with that box of Biluochun first? My friend from the south brought it to me."

Li Xuewu put the tea bucket in his hand and played with it, saying: "It's okay, you can drink it if you practice slowly."

Dong Wenxu pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "You have used all your tricks on me."

Li Xuewu said with a "hehe" smile: "I have seen this kind of special packaging in the south."

Dong Wenxu touched his hair and said: "Take it, it's not wrong. This is a special offering from Gu Ning's father. Once you drink it, you will know the difference from ordinary tea."

Hearing Dong Wexue's words, Li Xuewu grinned awkwardly and said, "How about I drink that box of Biluochun? The name is better than this one."

Dong Wenxu smiled and glared at Li Xuewu, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me, what do you want to do?"
