Chapter 512: Faster, slower(1/5)
Li Xuewu heard the shout from the ward behind him, but he did not turn around and continued to walk out expressionlessly, crossing paths with the doctors who were running over.
Just like walking on the street, you will pass by all kinds of strangers, including doctors, supervisors, and Fu Bin lying on the bed.
"Director"
Han Jiankun stood by the car in a rare moment, greeted Li Xuewu when he came out, and then opened the car door for Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu nodded and stepped into the command vehicle.
Sha Qizhi and Han Jiankun looked at each other, and they got into the car with a tacit understanding, and drove to the courtyard in an atmosphere of silence.
Because Li Xuewu had already promised before that he would go home from get off work after talking to Fu Bin today.
On the way, Li Xuewu relaxed his whole body and leaned on the uncomfortable backrest, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window with empty eyes.
Sha Qizhi did not turn around to check tomorrow's work with Li Xuewu, but sat silently in front, observing the director behind him from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
When they came today, Han Jiankun and Sha Qizhi were mentally prepared, fearing that the director would have strange emotions because of the person in the ward.
It seems now that in that ward, or rather in the prison, the director and the previous director had a lot of chats.
In fact, Li Xuewu's inner peace was only because of himself, and was not affected by Fu Bin's words.
He was thinking about what could cause a person to fall.
Money, power, hatred...
In his long life, people, environment, and life have all brought him good or bad experiences.
Why didn't it have such a big impact and consequences?
It's just that his own energy is limited, or his power is limited.
But things are different now. Even if there is a subtitle in front of the director, the power in his hands is also in danger.
When a person obtains money or rights that he cannot control, he will cause immeasurable danger to the society.
The situation that caused him to obtain so many dangerous items was often an unreasonable grab of social resources.
Doing this is all because of greed. Greed that exceeds one's ability to control will definitely be counterattacked.
Fu Bin can be said to have brought reflection and vigilance to Li Xuewu.
Just after the command vehicle arrived at the alley, Li Xuewu rubbed his face and calmed down.
I made an appointment with Gu Ning to review home tonight, but I couldn't go there with so many thoughts.
We have agreed that when we get home, we will keep work out of the door so as not to burden our family members.
Seeing the director putting on a smile and getting out of the car, Sha Qizhi said hello and looked at Han Jiankun who was looking over, and the two of them shook their heads slightly.
"Why did you come back on time today?"
It turned out that the mother, Liu Yin, was in the concierge. When she saw her second son coming in, she greeted him through the open window.
When Li Xuewu saw his mother standing in the concierge, he responded with a smile: "Well, what are you doing at the branch this afternoon? You haven't gotten off work yet?"
Because Li Xuewu paid for the firewood and renovations here, there are very few members of Li Xuewu's family on the schedule here.
However, after winter passed and the fire was cut off, Liu Yin didn't want to ask the ladies in the courtyard to gossip, so she took the initiative to arrange a shift here.
However, this time of year is when there are many people, and most of them have dispersed.
When Li Xuewu asked his mother about getting off work, he was referring to the concierge staff, which was considered a joke.
"The meal is ready, Xiaoxue is watching the fire at home."
Liu Yin said something, and then explained to Li Xuewu: "Isn't that right? Your second aunt in the backyard is back, and the first master and first aunt in the middle courtyard are also back. They have just finished helping them."
"Just came back?"
Li Xuewu didn't know how the second aunt was doing, but didn't the doctor say that the first grandpa should be kept in the hospital?
"you do not say"
Seeing Li Xuewu standing in the hall and asking, the talkative seventh daughter-in-law raised her eyebrows and explained: "You came in with your feet in front and behind your back, and we also helped move the hospital things."
"oh oh"
Li Xuewu nodded, and then said to his mother: "I will go home and change clothes first, and then go to Gu Ning's house for dinner in the evening."
"knew"
Liu Yin responded and saw her son walking in. She wanted to tell him not to be too late, but she didn't say it because she was standing in the concierge.
At this moment, Mrs. Liu, the old lady in the courtyard next door, looked at Liu Yin and asked, "Is it the girl's house where you booked it?"
"yes"
When Liu Yin saw the old lady asking about her second son, she responded with a smile.
These are nothing. No matter whether Li Xuewu lives here in the future, he cannot prepare himself from neighbors asking about him.
It's not a shameful thing, there's nothing to hide.
On the contrary, this is a good thing. In the past, this old lady said behind her back that her second son was not good and she would not be able to find a wife.
Also, the identities of Li Xuewu and Gu Ning will get better and better in the future. If they keep hiding it, these neighbors will make random guesses.
This is the case at this time. The more you don't say anything, the more she thinks there is something wrong and the more she makes random guesses.
It’s also very easy to ask questions. I’ll ask you this and that.
It's not like these old ladies are working part-time in the police station and they have nothing to do. Let's see if I can find something to talk about from you.
After all, they had been hesitating about the concierge for such a long time, and all the parents they could talk to about it had already done so.
"Hey, Aunt Liu, you don't know how handsome my sister-in-law's second daughter-in-law is."
At this moment, a woman took up the conversation and said: "With an oval face, a wealthy appearance, and the look on her face, it seems that the family is in the best condition, right sister-in-law?"
The first half of what she said was to Mrs. Liu, and the second half was to Liu Yin.
Although Liu Yin likes Gu Ning, it's not good for her wife to praise her so much before she even walks in.
So at this moment, he just smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's just two people, so we don't care too much."
"Take a look!"
The woman said with envy: "My sister-in-law didn't tell me, that's a doctor from a military hospital. Director Li didn't study medicine himself, but he found a doctor and came back, hahaha~"
This woman lives in the courtyard next door, in the same courtyard as old Mrs. Liu, so she naturally knows what kind of moral character Li Xuewu has been since he was a child.
Li Shun forced Li Xuewu to study medicine. It was known to all the neighbors, but the little pony in the Li family was so stubborn that he would not drink the medical water even if he pressed his head.
At this moment, everyone was laughing. The reason they were laughing was because of how Li Xuewu looked when he was a child, and because of the comparison with how he looks now.
Otherwise, it would be ridicule behind Liu Yin's back.
Liu Yin also smiled proudly at this moment. She didn't exaggerate or deliberately belittle her son. She briefly talked about Gu Ning's situation, which aroused the admiration of these people.
She rarely chatted with these people. She usually stayed at home with the old lady to take care of the children, or was busy collecting medicinal materials.
Today I took advantage of the rare time on duty to say these few words.
Seeing that there were more and more people coming in and returning from get off work, he also offered to go home and pack the food, and then left the concierge.
When everyone in the concierge saw that it was time to get off work, they all hurried out and went home.
There was no time here, so we talked without realizing it, and when I got home, I had to have my man complain about being late for cooking.
Of course, Li Shun rarely complains about Liu Yin, after all, their personalities are not that strong.
When Liu Yin returned home, she saw her second son standing in the house making a quilt for her daughter.
"Didn't you say you were going to your father-in-law's house?"
Liu Yin asked, then realized something and asked again: "Are you taking the child with you?"
"Well, take her out for a walk."
Li Xuewu smiled and teased Li Shu, who was wrapped in a small quilt, and then put his daughter's little hand in the quilt to complete the wrapping.
"It's too late, will you be cold?"
Liu Yin felt a little sorry for her child, fearing that Li Xuewu wouldn't be able to take care of her and would be kept cold. After all, she had to drive and it would be cold at night.
"There is a small quilt, I will drive slowly"
Li Xuewu picked up his daughter, and then asked his mother: "Didn't you say you were going to eldest brother's place? Why didn't you go?"
"Go tomorrow. Your eldest brother called and said that your sister-in-law's mother is coming to visit with her daughter."
Liu Yin helped Li Shu adjust the edges of the quilt so that Li Shu could see outside.
"Come to our house first, then go to the school."
"Let Biaozi send you off"
Li Xuewu said: "I'll tell Biaozi when I get back in the evening. Can I pick him up at the station?"
"No need, I told you to sit in front of your house."
Liu Yin said: "This is your sister-in-law's first pregnancy. How could your mother not come to see you?"
