Chapter 437: The courtyard at night(1/5)
When she hung up the phone that day and didn't ask her daughter to pick up the phone, it was because Li Xuewu talked about his and Gu Ning's psychological problems, which made Ding Fengxia feel a little sad for a moment.
After pretending to be happy and sending away the few people who were staying at the shipping warehouse, Ding Fengxia made a phone call to Yangcheng.
Generally speaking, calls from home must be about something important, otherwise it will not affect Gu Haitao's work.
Gu Haitao answered the phone, but he didn't expect that it was about his daughter and uncle.
He knew that some soldiers would have stress reactions after coming off the station. He also checked Li Xuewu's situation when he was in the army and his experience of being injured.
As for his daughter, she is still worried about her.
Who was the dark figure my daughter saw that night? Until now, she has not found out.
The old comrades have always felt pain in their hearts, and those children still have psychological shadows.
What can he say? The fact that my uncle can take the initiative to seek treatment and tell the truth to this person shows that he has not misjudged the person.
Furthermore, he is a professional J, who can better understand Li Xuewu's psychological problems, and is even more pleased that Li Xuewu can take the initiative to understand and take responsibility for his daughter's psychological problems.
Alas, it’s not like one family doesn’t enter the same house.
Gu Haitao's reply was simple. He believed in his uncle and his daughter. The friendship between the two of them during the revolution could overcome everything.
After listening to her husband's instructions, Ding Fengxia felt at ease, and when she had time, she called Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei home for dinner.
A mother is willing to do anything for her children.
After comforting Zhou Yamei, Ding Fengxia didn't want Li Xuewu to feel tired just after he came back, so she smiled and asked about the border issues, thus taking the initiative to change the topic.
Li Xuewu gave Zhou Yamei a firm look, and then chatted with his mother-in-law about what he had experienced during the trip.
When talking about the heavy snow disaster, cattle and sheep dying, and the plight of the herdsmen, it made several women sigh.
Fu Zhidong didn't know why his mother and others were sad. He looked at the chocolates he was eating and put them back, then snuggled up to his mother obediently.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Mu Hongyan took the initiative to change the topic.
When Li Xuewu introduced the specialties brought back from the border, Mu Hongyan teased Li Xuewu and said that he hadn't given Xiao Ning a gift yet.
Li Xuewu didn't know that this charming sister-in-law was sending him a signal.
"The gift is ready, but I can't let you see it."
Li Xuewu smiled and said mysteriously: "I'm afraid you will be envious, hahaha~"
As he spoke, he turned to Gu Ning and confessed: "It's in the suitcase. Let's carry some sister-in-law on our backs. If my sister-in-law sees it again, we can't afford it~"
"Hey, it's still a little secret~"
She didn't believe that Li Xuewu couldn't afford it. The first offer was red wine from abroad, and the next offer was jade bracelets.
Even Zhou Yamei got a silk scarf, and Fu Zhidong got a box of chocolates and an Yingjisha knife.
Although she didn't know how much her brother-in-law was worth, she would never believe that his son, a doctor, and his salary as a deputy director had so little financial resources.
Everyone has their own destiny, but Mu Hongyan didn't pay much attention to people like Li Xuewu.
A harmonious family is better than a quarrelsome one.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were really good to her, and her lover rarely came back, but they were sincere to her, so Mu Hongyan treated his sister-in-law sincerely.
It was getting late now, my mother-in-law had to rest, and Li Xuewu also arrived home today, so I thought of using Gu Ning's gift as an excuse to end today's topic.
"If you don't let me pull you down, I won't help you next time~"
Mu Hongyan smiled and said something to Li Xuewu, and then said to her mother-in-law: "It's too late to go back to the in-laws. It's time to tell him, let him go back."
"Yeah, go back and rest early."
Ding Fengxia saw Fu Zhidong yawning, and when she saw that the time was past nine-thirty, she quickly asked Li Xuewu to go back.
"You happened to be driving here. Send Xiao Ning and the others back. I won't go see your gifts today."
Mu Hongyan said he would not help Li Xuewu, but now he still created an opportunity for Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, said goodbye to his mother-in-law, and helped take Gu Ning's gift into the car.
Without asking the mother-in-law to leave the house, she drove out with Gu Ning, Zhou Yamei and her son.
Seeing Xiao Qi closing the door, Mu Hongyan hugged her mother-in-law's arm and asked with a smile: "My daughter is leaving with me. Your daughter-in-law must accompany you, right?"
"Haha, good, good, daughter-in-law~"
"That's~"
------------------
Gu Ning didn't know that his sister-in-law "stabbed" him in the back as soon as he went out. At this moment, he was sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the street lights on both sides of the road with some unspeakable meaning.
Will both husband and wife return the home?
It seemed to have a bit of that meaning, but she also felt like... she seemed to be blushing a little.
Because he was driving a Willis, Li Xuewu didn't say much on the road.
Zhou Yamei was sitting behind him, and he didn't have the nerve to tease Gu Ning.
When he arrived at the Haiyuncang Villa, Li Xuewu did not turn off the car and carried his suitcase into the house.
He didn't go upstairs, put down his suitcase, smiled and touched Fu Zhidong's face, said goodbye to Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei and left.
Gu Ning also watched Li Xuewu's car go away, then locked the door, closed the door and entered the living room.
Zhou Yamei has become accustomed to living here these days. If she eats at Gu Ning's house in the evening, she will come back and watch the fire on the stove before going to bed.
At this moment, my son was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't even hold the chocolate.
"You take him to bed, I'll go look at the stove."
Gu Ning let Zhou Yamei go and then went to the kitchen.
"I pressed down the fire before I left, and I'll just fill it up a little more."
Zhou Yamei took the chocolate in her hand, hugged her son and said to Gu Ning in the kitchen: "I'm going upstairs first."
"Okay~"
Gu Ning looked at the fire and saw that there was indeed some fire. He filled the coals with a small shovel, then closed the stove lid and walked out.
I looked at the black leather suitcase next to the coffee table. It was so big, how much stuff could it hold?
With a slight smile on his lips, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands before carrying the suitcase upstairs.
But as soon as she got her hands on it, she almost shook her arms. She didn't expect the box to be so heavy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Frowning and making random guesses in his mind, he carried the box hard and went upstairs.
Zhou Yamei and her son slept in the guest room, while Gu Ning slept in the master bedroom.
Gently open the door of the master bedroom and enter the small living room.
Gu Ning looked at the round coffee table in the small living room. It seemed that the box could not be placed, so he carried it to the study room.
The large desk in the study room is empty. Zhou Yamei will put it away after reading books these days, so this suitcase is just right.
Perhaps she remembered Li Xuewu's joking instructions to her, so she glanced at the door and then opened the belt lock of the box.
When he opened the box and saw the books, Gu Ning's eyes were as surprised and delighted as when Li Xuewu saw the books in Lao Batu's car.
"Belkin's Novels", "After the Ball", "The Nursing Home", "A Tale of Two Cities"...
She picked them out one by one and looked through them. They were all original text versions. She was really surprised by this gift.
From the first time Li Xuewu bought her a book at the bookstore, she knew that he understood her hobbies.
Later, I lent him the book "Jane Eyre", and the two of them started to get in touch with each other from the book.
This time it was especially a surprise. I didn’t even take a close look at the perfume and chocolates placed aside.
She had received perfume before, but it didn't smell very good and she didn't usually use perfume.
This time she tried to smell the one given by Li Xuewu, and it was indeed much better than her previous one.
However, her occupation and habits are not very useful. She likes it very much, but she doesn't like the book.
Gu Ning stood next to the desk, picked out a book and flipped through it, smiling like an elf who had found a treasure.
After picking up the last book and flipping through it for a while, Gu Ning reached into the box to get the book but grabbed a stack of cardboard boxes and came out.
"ah!"
She was still thinking, how could there be such a thin book and a stack of books? Could it be a magazine?
When I took it in my hand and looked at it, I saw that what was wrapped in this thick stack of cardboard was not a book, but a thin piece of fabric.
The circle in the middle of the paper shell is left empty so that only part of the fabric and color can be seen.
She didn't understand what was wrapped inside, but she did understand the text and promotional posters on the cardboard packaging.
It's so embarrassing, he...how could he give such a thing!
Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of this master bedroom is good, otherwise Gu Ning's surprise would have called Zhou Yamei over.
She also realized at this moment that she was alone in the house.
