Li Xuewu smiled and said to Qin Jingru: "It's time to put it away. If there is anything missing, we can find it ourselves."
"Just hurry up, it will get dark soon and the road will not be easy to walk."
Ding Fengxia heard that her uncle wanted to give the family's waiters a holiday, and she agreed.
We have all been children, so we need to understand each other, especially those who serve in the family.
"Xue Wu said that there are people from the compound coming over tonight, why can't we have a bite of food?"
She had become familiar with Qin Jingru in the past two days, and she persuaded him directly.
"Okay, Auntie, thank you for your hard work, we will come back early tomorrow."
Qin Jingru is outgoing, gets along quite well with Ding Fengxia, and speaks nicely.
Ding Fengxia and her uncle sent the young couple to the foyer, and warned: "Why did I work so hard? It took a long time for you to go back, so don't rush back."
"Yes, just come back in time for dinner tomorrow. You don't have to cook it. Just eat it ready-made."
Seeing his mother-in-law's signal, Li Xuewu nodded and joked: "You will be busy in the future, but now I have a holiday."
"It's done, don't come out."
Qin Jingru waved her hands with a smile and went out with Han Jiankun.
Han Jiankun was carrying a gift for his father-in-law, as well as a homecoming gift from Li Xuewu to the couple.
Why do you work hard here and work hard without complaining? It’s all about getting along with each other on a daily basis.
The couple relied on Li Xuewu to take care of them. They had three meals a day here and Li Xuewu brought them things whenever they went home.
Just for this relationship, you have to be attentive and try your best when doing things here.
Normally, if a leader cares about his status, he would not allow him to use the bus to commute home from get off work, but Li Xuewu allowed him to drive his car home in winter.
He went back to his father-in-law's house seriously and lent him a car to take care of his face and also take care of Qin Jingru's face when he returned home.
Sometimes when people get along with others, they don’t need to say it verbally. They know best in their hearts what step they should take.
"Who is coming over tonight?"
Ding Fengxia watched the young couple leave and asked, but she was still thinking about it in her heart.
When her daughter and uncle-in-law first got married, she was still a little wary of the nanny hired by Li Xuewu's family.
If she is worried about young women, she is also worried about young girls, and older people are afraid that they will not do well in their work.
But she never said much about her uncle's family matters, not even to her daughter.
It wasn't until she came back this time that she found out that the nanny hired by her family was married to her uncle's driver, and that the driver's family background was quite good, so she felt relieved.
Not to mention anything else, my brother-in-law is so popular. With such power and money, no one can let him go.
It wasn't like I hadn't thought about it earlier that my uncle had a scar on his face, which meant he might be disliked by others and no woman would like him.
The result is that if a man's charm is not on his face, the danger still exists.
As for my daughter's character, my uncle really fooled me. She doesn't even have the intention to get angry and have a temper, she just feels bored.
Which parent can live with this matter without feeling heartbroken.
Fortunately, whether I make phone calls or write letters on weekdays, I can feel my uncle's kindness and quality.
His affection for his daughter can be seen and felt, and he is even more concerned about their relationship than his daughter.
That's not to say that Gu Ning doesn't miss them. Li Xuewu cares about them more than his own parents.
In fact, it is a kind of attention and respect.
No, it’s not just respecting them, but respecting the relationship between the young couple.
Just take it for granted, if this man doesn't take his wife seriously, he won't take his father-in-law seriously either.
If he takes his wife seriously, his attitude towards his father-in-law is completely different.
It may have something to do with the power of the father-in-law's family, but it is not absolute that one is good to the daughter-in-law if she really relies on her father-in-law's power.
So Ding Fengxia doesn't need others to comment on this kind of thing, she can see it herself.
The young couple now has a child, is cared for by their in-laws, and has a successful career, but they have to cherish it themselves.
Ding Fengxia's attitude towards her uncle was naturally respectful and valued.
Maybe you should say a few more words to your son when you see him, or even give him a serious reminder and warning.
But in Li Xuewu's case, she only talks about her daughter and praises her uncle.
This is the most common method used by smart mothers-in-law. After all, the mother-in-law can only come to the uncle's house a few times.
What makes Ding Fengxia happy is that Li Xuewu is not the kind of person who is generous, let alone complacent and boastful.
Although this young man is young, he has great skills and ideas. He knew a lot when he was in the capital, and people still told them about it after he went to Jinling.
If it's an ordinary compliment, that's it. Just treat it as a courtesy between old comrades.
But it is really gratifying to be able to name my uncle on specific matters, even with a bit of appreciation and a bit of approval.
Especially Gu Haitao, who only concentrates on his work on weekdays and seldom socializes, let alone takes the initiative to say hello to his friends and take care of his children.
He actually said that if my uncle needs anything, he can tell him and he will take care of it.
But Li Xuewuke never used him to speak or greet him, which made Gu Haitao particularly satisfied.
Compared with his colleagues around him, seeing how useless their children are, whenever someone mentions his children, this kind of pride is really intoxicating.
The eldest son is in the flying brigade, the younger son is studying in a mainland school, and the uncle is in the capital and also in the garrison.
Of course, Gu Haitao is reserved and low-key, and is unwilling to show off to others.
But Ding Fengxia couldn't help it. Whenever someone mentioned that the children in her family were pregnant, she would sincerely laugh.
If she was like Gu Haitao who listened on the phone and listened to the old friend who came to visit mentioned her uncle's calmness and domineering, and just nodded calmly, and then said that she was too energetic and had to study, then she couldn't do it.
of.
Anyway, she had to laugh before the guests left. Her children were all good no matter what.
Especially not being bullied, especially being beaten up by the big ones, will relieve your anger even more.
She heard about what happened some time ago and was so angry that she couldn't sleep for half the night.
Gu Haitao also had a sullen face and had not smiled for several days. Even when she said she wanted to go back to Beijing, he did not stop her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That is to say, I listened to my uncle's greetings on the phone as usual, and I waited and waited for my uncle's call for help.
But I waited for a call from another relationship in Beijing, which was unexpected and relieved.
Of course it wasn't from the other party. Maybe he persuaded a third party to come forward and make this call, which would have already given in.
Especially when the phone call was made directly to Gu Haitao, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was asking for forgiveness.
On the one hand, the other party clearly knew that Li Xuewu was Gu Haitao's uncle, but he still played this trick. Now he was so embarrassed that he had to come to make peace with him.
On the other hand, before Gu Haitao made a move, the other party had already given up. This did not prove that the uncle of the Gu family was very clever.
Ding Fengxia came to the study room when she heard the phone call. She saw that Gu Haitao had been listening and didn't say much.
He didn't complain or criticize, he just said that young people need to exercise. He didn't know about this, and he never heard his uncle mention it.
When she said this, Ding Fengxia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, she was so happy. She didn't know that Lao Gu still had such a strange and sinister attitude.
Naturally, the person on the other end of the phone praised the uncle of the Gu family again and again, and wanted to transfer Li Xuewu to the army and officially assume his position.
Obviously, this is the other party's compensation, or apology.
But Gu Haitao refused, his attitude was very firm, and he said that he would not take care of his children, let alone interfere in their career and growth.
When Ding Fengxia heard these words, she would give her lover a thumbs-up sign, and she was so tough when she said it.
Gu Haitao was always calm, calm, and calm, but in the evening he asked the waiter to make two more dishes and drank half a bottle of wine.
Ding Fengxia brought the remaining half bottle to her uncle when she returned to the capital this time.
The contact between Weng and his son-in-law was nothing more than expressing concern for each other on the phone and talking about daily matters.
Even when writing a letter, there is no work or political content, it all depends on a tacit understanding.
Ding Fengxia was angry. Originally, when she returned to Beijing this time, she wanted to go to her door and talk to her.
But there's no need for it now. It's not my uncle or the Gu family who is embarrassed. She has already seen the other party's excitement since she returned to Beijing.
The situation in the capital is changing, and there may be many people who are trying to make trouble. She doesn't need to take action, otherwise it will really be obvious that my uncle has no means and the Gu family has no cultivation.
After receiving the half bottle of wine from his father-in-law brought by his mother-in-law, Li Xuewu actually fully understood its meaning.
The first is to celebrate, to congratulate him on having a successor, being mature and steady, and riding the waves.
Secondly, it is a reminder to keep a line in life, and the most taboo in governance is to kill all the people, which can easily cause side effects and harm others.
The last thing is to appease. No matter how good the wine is, half of it is enough. If you are too greedy, you will bite off more than you can chew. If you are too greedy, you will do bad things.
Li Xuewu also respected his father-in-law's opinion, so he placed the half bottle of wine in the cabinet in the living room as a warning.
When he came back from get off work yesterday, his mother-in-law had a few words with him in private.
It’s not that I want to offend my uncle and prevent him from pursuing the victory, nor is it that I want my uncle to bow his head and not look at who is up there.
Different from Gu Haitao's reserved attitude, Ding Fengxia's concern and care for her uncle were more direct.
Tell Li Xuewu clearly that even if he knows who that person is, it will have no effect or benefit on him, his work, or the friends he cooperates with.
Even if the fight breaks out and the final victory is achieved, it will not be Li Xuewu, let alone anyone else.
This matter is fundamentally an unequal sacrifice and being sacrificed.
It's just that the target who was originally sacrificed took advantage of the wind to counterattack, catching the opponent by surprise.
If we really postpone it, the longer it takes, the more attention Li Xuewu will receive.
Even though the people who called Gu Haitao were all complimentary to him, Ding Fengxia smiled but knew that this was not a good thing.
What Li Xuewu needs now is not fame or attention. He needs time and space to train and cultivate himself.
Play steadily, step by step.
Those who are eager to jump up and down may see endless scenery now, but in the end they will still fall down.
Because you can't stand firmly on your feet, how can you make progress?
Li Xuewu agreed with his mother-in-law's words and clearly understood his current needs.
He is not afraid of the person behind this incident, but he has to think about his future and his relationship.
If he had reported the incident to his father-in-law when it first happened, he might have suffered a little loss.
Now he has not suffered a loss, but has gained the upper hand, so he will naturally give up when the situation is good.
There is no need to mention this kind of thing openly. Gu Haitao helps him handle the subsequent matters, which further proves his ability, identity, background and connections.
Just for this one thing, if any of the children of the aristocratic families in the capital dared to provoke him without opening their eyes, this would be the fruit of victory.
The mother-in-law confessed the conditions offered by the other party. Before she could finish speaking, Li Xuewu had already shaken her head and refused.
If you really want to be in the army, you don't need to be arranged by the other party. You have the conditions for progress.
Now he just doesn't want to make progress, so he spreads his energy so widely. He just waits for the day when he needs it. When he gathers it together, no obstruction can stop him.
The mother-in-law also nodded in approval, saying that he and his father-in-law had the same temperament and ideas, but they were more compatible with his son-in-law.
Li Xuewu dare not congratulate himself on this. In some fields, he may have more ideas or insights.
But in front of his father-in-law, who has spent his life in military affairs, he can always recognize himself. It is only right to have a learning attitude and maintain enough respect and care.
Of course, he was also deeply moved by his mother-in-law's support and care, and getting along with her husband's family became more harmonious and natural.
Entering the foyer, he changed into his slippers and replied: "All my family members are coming over, and there are also a few little brothers, one of whom is from Steel City."
It's Saturday today and he doesn't have to go to work tomorrow. He has time to deal with housework.
Taking advantage of Lao Biaozi's return from Steel City, he had to get together anyway, so he took care of today's affairs.
My eldest grandma came to see me today, but the old lady was waiting impatiently at home. It was only when Li Shun and Li Xuecai came back that the family reunited.
If he really went to the courtyard, Gu Ning wouldn't be able to move, and it would be even more inconvenient for the child.
Only when Zhao Yafang, who was in confinement, came with her baby in her arms, could the family reunite easily.
“There are so many reasons to reunite today.”
Li Xuewu entered the living room with a smile and explained to his mother-in-law: "We all come to see the children. My father and the third child are coming back, and the old lady is coming too. She said she wanted to see you, so that's why."
“What a great family.”
Ding Fengxia combed her hair and prepared to go to the kitchen. She said with emotion: "No matter how talented you are, it is true that the family is together."
"Mom, stop working, you're not needed"
Li Xuewu smiled and said to her: "It has been arranged long ago. There will be a master chef cooking today, and I can't even put my hands on it."
"Yeah, I said we should hurry up and prepare the meal. I don't know how many people are coming."
Ding Fengxia asked with certainty: "Are you really prepared?"
"It's true. I was a master chef in the factory cafeteria when I was a child."
Li Xuewu nodded and explained: "Including them, there are about thirty people in my family. Qin Jingru has prepared all the materials, so you can get busy."
He pointed upstairs and said, "You have a rest first. There are so many people coming at night that you won't be able to rest."
"I'm not tired. It was already afternoon when my parents left, and I wasn't busy with anything."
Ding Fengxia walked to the sofa and sat down, and said to her uncle: "My mother-in-law is very nice, and it is a rare opportunity for us to sit together and chat."
"My mother asked you to stay a little longer."
Li Xuewu walked to the fireplace and filled up the firewood, and said with a smile: "She told me that you would save her a lot of work here."
"Come on, she won't let me work while I'm here, she'll rush to do all the work."
Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "I'm waiting for your father to come to Beijing for a meeting. We'll stay for two more days and then go back together. There won't be room there and I have to go to work."
"Xiao'an and Xiaoyan may be coming back, and maybe they'll be making arrangements to see their nephew in just these few days."
"That's a good feeling"
Li Xuewu stood up and said, "Is sister-in-law coming back too?"
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. It's also a big month, so it's inconvenient and it's going to be a lot of trouble."
Ding Fengxia explained: "I said years ago that I wanted to go there and have a look, but I never had time. I thought I would go back from you and go have a look next month."
"Well, it's also inconvenient to work."
Li Xuewu sat opposite his mother-in-law and said: "Before, it was fine in Beijing and it was easy to take care of her. But now we are far apart, and it is difficult for you too."
"It's mainly my dad who needs to take care of his health."
He expressed concern: "The older a person reaches middle age, the more attention they need to pay attention to. We cannot think of maintenance until we are old."
"It's better now. You always call and he doesn't bother you, but I won't listen."
Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "He insists on drinking the medicinal wine you mailed to me, saying it was your wish, and he still makes time to make phone calls."
“It’s all as it should be”
Li Xuewu picked up the fruit knife, picked up an apple and peeled it, and said: "Gu Ning actually misses you too. He doesn't say it, but every time he calls, he sits next to me and listens."
"She? Are you angry with me?"
Ding Fengxia smiled happily, but complained: "She never takes the initiative to call me. I have to take the initiative to call her, and she doesn't reply to letters."
She pretended to be harsh and said: "I said when I came here, if it weren't for my grandson's sake, I would pinch her."
"Hehehe, she did it on purpose."
Li Xuewu laughed and said: "Sometimes I forget, and she reminds me to call you."
Cut the apple into small pieces, handed one piece to the mother-in-law, and put the rest on small plates.
"She is sensitive but not good at expressing herself. There are some things she cannot say out loud. She misses you all."
"Oh~ I have my own daughter, how can I not know her personality~"
Ding Fengxia sighed and said: "No matter how much you talk or laugh, I can still be angry with her, but I have long been confused by my anger~"
"People say fate, but I didn't believe it before. It wasn't until I saw you and your beautiful couple that I believed it."
She smiled and said: "It's fate. Seeing that she is introverted and unsociable, her hair is almost turning gray because of her anxiety."
"But there's no point in being anxious. She doesn't even talk to me. She locks herself in the room and can't come out when she talks to me. Alas~"
After sighing, she looked at her uncle opposite and sighed: "It wasn't until I met you that the changes in her day by day made me know that I had chosen the right person."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Actually, we talk about a lot of topics. Sometimes she doesn't want to talk, but she will listen to what I say."
"How about it's fate?"
Ding Fengxia shook her head slightly and said: "Looking at her current state, I didn't dare to think about it when I came here. It's because you get along well with each other that she has the confidence to face life."
"What you said is that we will continue to work hard."
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "Try to make Gu Ning grow up happily like Li Ning."
"You~"
Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "If you treat her like a child, she will never grow up and she will have a bad temper."
"It's good. We haven't been in a hurry yet."
Li Xuewu packed up the knife and introduced: "If she doesn't like it or doesn't want to, she will tell me, and I will do the same."
"Let's understand each other. Sometimes I am busy with work and go on business trips for several days, and she wants it too."
"I heard it's quite hard."
Ding Fengxia nodded and said: "You are more mature and stable than her, and you understand the world better. If you help her more, care more about her, and live a good life, your father and I will feel relieved."
"Don't worry"
Li Xuewu heard the movement of cars outside, stood up with a smile and signaled: "They're here, I'll pick them up."
------------------
"Mother!"
At the entrance of the hospital, Li Shu, covered with a coat, called her mother in a muffled voice, looking very anxious.
Li Xue, who was holding her in her arms, complained: "But please don't sell it to you, we really can't lose it!"
"That's it!"
Li Xuewu picked up his daughter with a smile, looked behind her and asked, "Where are the others?"
"What's behind, I'm taking advantage of Li Shu's help and taking the car."
Li Xue turned around to pick up Zhao Yafang, and her sister-in-law was also holding the child.
"Oh~ I'm finally out~"
Zhao Yafang smiled and said to Li Xuewu: "I'm holding this in because I haven't breathed fresh air in a long time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Come inside quickly, don't get cold"
Ding Fengxia, who followed behind, took Li Shu over and greeted Zhao Yafang again.
Li Xuewu introduced his mother-in-law to his sister-in-law, and the two exchanged greetings in a relaxed manner.
There are very few introverts in the Li family. The one who talks the least is probably Li Shun.
The old lady got off the car and called her in-laws directly, prompting Ding Fengxia to say hello again and again.
The driver was Shen Guodong. He told Li Xuewu to go back to pick up people and did not get out of the car.
After Li Xuewu picked up the old lady, he closed the car door and persuaded the few people who were still chatting to go inside.
Although it is already the end of February, it is still a bit cold at night.
Not only Li Shu was wrapped in cotton clothes, adults also had to dress warmly, otherwise colds would be a big problem these days.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for half a year, right?"
Ding Fengxia carried Li Shu into the house, chatted and laughed with the old lady, and praised the older girl Li Xue.
Li Shu was freed from her cotton-padded jacket, just like Sun Monkey who escaped from trouble at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.
First, he timidly called out to me, and then he struggled to run towards the bedroom next to the door.
"Where are you going? Mom is not there."
Li Xuewu smiled and hugged her, and finally he picked her up and pointed upstairs, saying: "Mom and brother are upstairs."
"superior!"
Li Shu is really smart. After listening to what he said, she pointed her little hand upstairs, which means you clearly know that mother is upstairs, and you are still wasting my time here.
Hurry! Go upstairs!
Li Xuewu didn't dare to go upstairs just after coming back from outside, for fear of bringing cold air with him.
Even the old lady who was anxious to value her grandson followed Ding Fengxia to the living room.
"Give it to me, take a rest for a while"
Li Xue took Li Tang from her sister-in-law and motioned to her sister-in-law Zhao Yafang to sit with the old lady for a while.
“I’m not tired, I’m too lazy to stay at home”
Zhao Yafang felt that it was warm in the room, so she took off her coat and wore only a thin sweater and a waistcoat.
"It's better to have a big house, it will make your heart brighter when you look at it."
"Gu Ning and I both told you to give birth in their workplace, and then come directly to your home for confinement after giving birth. You and Mom will definitely do it."
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "When my eldest brother comes, I will ask him if he is willing to trade with me. I will give you this house and we will go back to live in the compound."
"Hahaha, that's not okay~"
Zhao Yafang sat next to the old lady, smiled and said jokingly: "No matter how valuable or nice your house is, it's not as good as ours."
With that said, he took the old lady's arm and said, "We have two old ladies at home to help look after the children. You have to hire someone here, and we can't afford it."
"Did you see that my sister-in-law is the smartest person in our family?"
Li Xue hugged Li Tang and joked to Li Xuewu: "I don't want to change houses with you because I'm afraid you will miss your parents' property."
"That's right! Haha~"
Zhao Yafang responded seriously at first, and then laughed hahaha.
The old lady saw her children joking and smiled helplessly at Ding Fengxia: "This house is very lively."
“How nice”
Ding Fengxia was really envious when she saw the relaxation and sense of humor with which the Li family got along.
Even when we lived in the capital, the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law lived together, but there was never such a joke or such joy.
"This is the eldest daughter-in-law, and that is Li Xue, Xingsi, the eldest daughter-in-law."
The old lady introduced Ding Fengxia with a smile, as if she was very close to her in-laws.
Ding Fengxia nodded and said, "I've seen it before. I saw it when Xuewu got married."
She looked at the slim Li Xue and Zhao Yafang and praised: "How wonderful, the children have grown up, you have a great-grandson in your arms, and the four generations are living under the same roof."
"Yeah yeah"
The old lady smiled and nodded: "That one is the big one, this is the second one, and the third one in the family is almost here too."
"Milk, please stop talking"
Li Xue smiled and sat opposite them and said: "My third brother hasn't finished studying yet. If he has a child, my father will not have to whip him."
"Hahaha~"
The ladies started laughing again as they talked. Women always have something to talk about when they get together.
Ding Fengxia asked Li Xuewu, who was coaxing Li Shu, if the third daughter-in-law was a girl from the Ji family. She heard about it last time.
"Yes, her brother and I are friends."
Li Xuewu introduced: "Last time I went to Yangcheng, I met her mother. She was a very nice person."
"We haven't seen it, but we've heard about it"
Ding Fengxia said: "Your father knows Ji Ruixuan. He used to do economic work in the border area and has had several contacts with your father."
"I really don't know this"
Li Xuewu teased Li Shu, who was about to go upstairs now, and replied: "I had a long conversation with his father, and he probably knew that Gu Ning and I were engaged, but he didn't mention it."
"But be cautious, Fu Caining is also a very enterprising person."
Ding Fengxia commented: "The couple were model workers at that time. I still remember seeing commendations published in newspapers."
“You can actually see this.”
Li Xuewu smiled and mentioned to his mother-in-law: "Since I met Ji Weidong and Ji Yuxiu, the two brothers and sisters have been living alone at home, and their parents have been away from home all year round."
"Now Ji Weidong has gone to Hong Kong City, while Yuxiu and her sister-in-law stay in the capital. They usually live close to home."
"My second brother helped clean up the house and rebuilt three rooms."
Li Xue was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she explained that although Ji Yuxiu lived at home, she had her own house.
Li Xuewu glanced at the girl and didn't care. Even if he didn't explain his words, his mother-in-law wouldn't think too much.
Not to mention the Li family, even the Ji family would not allow their daughter to do inappropriate things. Being placed in the Li family just proves this trust.
Of course, trusting the tutors of the Li family and trusting Li Xuecai's duties would not be certain if it were another son of the Li family.
Don't guess, I'm talking about Li Xuewu.
If you want to put your daughter next to him, isn't that just like putting a piece of meat next to a wolf?
You said he shouldn't eat, but he shouldn't eat. It's true that he shouldn't eat too slowly.
After sitting and chatting in the living room on the first floor for a while, the coldness on their bodies dissipated, and then everyone went up to the second floor.
Li Shu finally got what she wanted. As soon as she reached the second floor, she struggled to get off the ground and ran towards the back room with her little legs.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because Gu Ning is in confinement, the room is very warm. The fireplace downstairs is directly connected to the heating on the second floor. As long as the valve is opened, the room can be heated.
Thirty degrees.
Of course, confinement does not necessarily require the temperature to reach 30 degrees. According to the thermometer, Gu Ning controlled it to be only 26 to 27 degrees.
It was actually very hot in winter. At least Zhao Yafang opened her waistcoat when she went upstairs, and she felt hot.
"Asleep?"
Several people entered the master bedroom and saw Gu Ning listening to the radio, so they all said hello with a smile.
Little Li Ning was still sleeping soundly, and like Li Tang, the baby couldn't wake up.
It will only chirp when it is hungry or uncomfortable, reminding adults to take care of it.
The stroller Li Shu used when she was a child has come in handy, and it is just right to lie in it now.
"I've been sleeping all the time, and I don't wake up even when I talk."
Gu Ning smiled and asked everyone to look at the child, then looked at Li Tang in Li Xue's arms.
This little guy has slowly opened up, and there is a lot of fat on the left and right sides of his face. You can't call it baby fat, it's all meat.
Li Xue was also very playful and put Li Tang, who was wearing small clothes, in the stroller. The two little brothers lay side by side, like a pair of twins.
The old lady seemed curious about something, and she couldn't get enough of it no matter how much she stood by.
Li Shu first ran to her mother's side and stayed there for a while. Now she saw the adults chatting and laughing around the stroller, so she also squeezed over to take a look.
She just likes to watch the excitement. The more people there are, the happier she is, especially now.
Ding Fengxia hugged her and looked at her, which made Li Shu stare hard at her eyes. After a while, she said: "Meat!"
"Hahaha~"
Hearing her surprise, everyone laughed. Not only Li Tang was chubby, Li Ning, who was just a few days old after giving birth, also gradually became chubby.
Newborn babies are like this, they change very quickly, and they look the same every day.
Li Xuewu stood aside and said a few words to Gu Ning before going downstairs. It was getting dark and everyone was coming over.
It was Saturday today and he had something to do at home, so he came back an hour early.
This is to leave time for Han Jiankun, and also to leave time for myself to prepare.
Knowing that there were many people today, there was no need to be particular about making tea. I first poured some tea leaves into the thermos bottle, and then directly filled it with boiling water.
This kind of heavy drinking is rare in the city, but more common in the countryside in later generations, especially when it comes to manual labor.
There was nowhere to drink at that time. When I was busy in the fields, I only filled a thermos bottle with hot tea, and then drank it from a teacup in the fields. It kept my stomach warm all the time.
Of course, when there are many people, you can also use this trick if the teapot is confused, but it will cost a little more tea leaves.
Before it got dark, the immediate relatives from the courtyard came over one after another.
There are two cars, one is a command car and the other is a Willys with a canvas soft top.
Naturally, women can ride in the command car, while men go to squeeze into Willys.
The rest just rode bicycles, and they all came here in a hurry.
"Quick, hold on, we are also the focus of attention."
Lao Biaozi jumped down from the Willis in an exaggerated manner, ran to the front of the command vehicle, first hugged Wen San's son Zhang Xinmin, and then helped Mai Qinglan get out of the vehicle.
Hearing the joke in his mouth, everyone who got off the car at the door laughed out loud.
Mai Qinglan was pregnant, so she patted Lao Biaozi in embarrassment to prevent him from making trouble again.
But Lao Biaozi shouted, calling Xiaoyan, who was coming from a car, to help quickly.
"How can I help? I just have to carry it on my back."
Xiaoyan said angrily: "Don't tell me that you have something, just keep it under your breath."
"that is!"
Shen Guodong raised his eyebrows at Xiaoyan and said, "What's so great? Let's have one next year!"
"Oops~"
Xiaoyan's face turned red at his amusement, she pushed him, took Mai Qinglan's hand and went to the courtyard.
Li Xuewu held down the car door and told Shen Guodong who was about to get off: "Go one more time and pick up Teacher Han and the children."
"Did you call?"
Shen Guodong scratched his head and said, "I'd better say something, I'm a little frightened when I see the teacher."
"Get out of here"
Li Xuewu smiled and scolded: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are still teachers. Why are you so scared when I don't see you?"
"Who said that!"
Shen Guodong smiled bitterly and said: "Have you ever seen me joking with my eldest brother? Not to mention my eldest sister-in-law. I have to stand upright when I see you."
"Stop talking nonsense, I've called you."
Li Xuewu smiled and warned: "Speak politely. When you have the opportunity later, I will send you to college and make a good comeback."
"University? Brother, stop making trouble"
Shen Guodong took a taxi and grinned: "I won't be able to go to college in this life, but it is possible to become a college student."
As he spoke, he motioned to the old Biaozi who was entering the hospital and said: "Anyone with this bastard look can pick off college students. I'll pick up the old guy when I turn around."
"Well, I'll watch the punishment."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I'll remember what you said. Remember to bring some safflower oil when you come back. I'm afraid Xiaoyan will be too harsh and the safflower oil at home won't be enough for you."
"I'm just joking"
Shen Guodong stepped on the accelerator and said, "Brother, don't take it seriously!"
Before he finished speaking, the car had already driven away. Li Xuewu stood at the door and looked at the taillights and felt funny.
Is swan meat so delicious in this world?
Lao Biaozi has this toad in someone else's hands, and he may not know how much he will suffer from it in the future.
Now he is serving him and giving birth to a child. Lao Biaozi and his parents are not around. Who do you think will provide for Mai Qinglan's parents?
"Something's wrong today!"
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the house, he saw Silly Zhu standing in the living room and complaining to him: "I'm here to be a guest, not to cook."
"It's okay, I didn't intend to let you do it"
Li Xuewu rolled up his arms and sleeves and said, "I will cook today to show you my skills."
"you?!"
Silly Zhu's eyes widened and he said: "Stop teasing me, it's been almost two years since you came back, and I haven't seen you in the kitchen!"
"That's because you haven't seen it before!"
Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "This is called the real person not showing his face, showing his face is not the real person!"
With that said, he gestured to walk to the kitchen, saying as he walked: "Let me see first which one is salt and which one is vinegar."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hurry up!"
Seeing what he said, the dozen or so men in the living room all spoke to Si Zhu, and only advised him not to let Li Xuewu show his hand.
"Come on, just focus on eating and don't care about how tired I am, right?"
Silly Zhu rolled up his sleeves and said: "What are you afraid of? He can't take it by himself after finishing it. The medicine won't kill anyone!"
"Bah~bah~bah~ It's a great Chinese New Year!"
Xiaoyan took a few sips and complained to him: "If you don't do it, we would rather be hungry today, but you have to walk back by yourself!"
"Hey!"
Silly Zhu glared, called Li Xuewu out of the restaurant, and said: "We have agreed that I will cook today, and the women will just give in, but the men will have to help me!"
"no problem!"
Li Xuecai laughed and shouted: "Brother Zhu, I will light the fire for you. I can do this."
"Okay, one counts as one"
After receiving the floral apron handed over by Li Xuewu, Silly Zhu put it on and called the names with a smile: "College students will light the fire, and the teacher will pick vegetables!"
After talking about Brother Xuewen, he looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Then the deputy director can only help clean up the fish."
“Okay, this meal is good”
Old Biaozi applauded: "This meal is really rare, it must be delicious."
"I can't run away from you!"
Silly Zhu caught the old Biaozi who was talking and said, "Qin Jingru said, there is still a chicken in the kitchen that has not been put away. I leave it to you!"
"Uncle Li and Grandma, you don't have to"
He joked about spinning around, and then pointed at Li Shun and Grandma who were watching the excitement and said: "You don't have to stand up to help."
"Who's going to stand up!"
The eldest grandma joked: "How about these big boys, let grandpa take action?"
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Silly Zhu shook his head and said with a smile: "How about you tie my apron for me? I am the chef today!"
"Here, let me tie it for you"
Old Biaozi grinned and said, "I have tied a rope on an animal."
"Go away~go away~go away~"
Silly Zhu smiled and pushed Lao Biaozi away and said: "You are also going to be a father, so why don't you learn a little better!"
After speaking, he pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "Learn from your brother Wu, and you can see how he becomes a father."
"Hmm~ I still want to learn?"
Lao Biaozi laughed and said, "I learned from him to become what I am now. You still think I'm not bad enough!"
"Hahaha~"
Xiaoyan, Ji Yuxiu and others sat aside and watched the men laughing and laughing, and started laughing too.
Feeling that they were no longer cold, they all went upstairs with Liu Yin's greeting.
The women went upstairs to see Gu Ning and see that the children were still alive but the men were not. They could only talk and laugh on the first floor.
He said he wanted help from this person or someone to help him, but actually when he entered the kitchen, Silly Zhu didn't need any help from them.
However, the work of collecting fish and chickens was still delegated to them.
There were not enough people to sit in the living room, so the young people came to the dining room.
Those who are not working sit on the sofa by the window and amuse themselves, while those who are working are sitting at the dining table and busy.
There is no way, Li Xuecai is the youngest, and he does the most work.
Of course, if we really talk about seniority, there is a younger Zhang Xinmin.
Fei Shanying was still in confinement. When she heard that Li Xuewu's family was hosting these brothers today, she asked her son to come over in place of Wen San'er.
What is the purpose of raising a son? Isn't it just to show up on such occasions to show that he has a successor?
Lao Biaozi squatted on the ground and hugged him, pointed at Li Xuewu and asked, "What did your mother tell you when you came out?"
Zhang Xinmin looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "Congratulations, second brother, on the birth of your son."
