Without him, Mr. Zhao and his wife were both the heroes of the past, and these two little yellow croakers were not worth mentioning in their eyes back then.
If you sing well and your boss comes to support you, it will be a huge blow to the stage.
It is possible to get a few small yellow croakers in one game.
But things are different now. They moved to this house several times before moving there.
The original mansion was sold long ago because I didn't dare to live in it.
When I moved to this small house, I thought it would be stable and low-key, but I didn't expect that a more violent tide would come.
"Okay, I'll sell it!"
Mr. Zhao thought for a while, and despite Li Xuewu's nonchalant attitude and Ding Wanqiu's urging eyes, he gritted his teeth and said sell.
It's not like he never thought about making a counter-offer with Li Xuewu, but he couldn't say it.
Because Li Xuewu has already said, go straight, that's the price.
Moreover, they also took advantage of Ding Wanqiu in this matter. It was Ding Wanqiu who begged him to dispose of the property in his hands.
It can be said that Li Xuewu came to take advantage of the situation and also came to help.
At this time, everyone is leaving. Who has the money to buy a house?
Furthermore, the house is not allowed to be bought or sold at this time. You can make documents in private, but you have to bear the risk after all.
Usually those who are incompetent really don't dare to think about it, but those who are capable have no shortage of houses.
At this time, we didn’t have the habit of building a house, and we didn’t have that much money to save.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring you the money to take you to transfer the property on Monday."
Li Xuewu stood up, nodded slightly to Mr. Zhao's family in the wing, expressed his apology, and then turned and walked out the door.
As I said before, he is not here as a guest today, but as a bad guest.
Because according to reality, no matter how much he gives, the other party will not accept his favor and will feel that it is too little.
After all, this is a home that people are used to living in.
Regardless of whether they were forced to move away, Li Xuewu's purchase of a house cut off their roots.
In fact, this is very unreasonable. If Li Xuewu doesn't buy it, they beg to buy it. If Li Xuewu wants to buy it, something is vaguely wrong.
This is why people often say that you don’t do business with relatives or borrow money from friends.
Li Xuewu and Master Dou stood at the door and waited for a while, while Ding Wanqiu wanted to say a few words to Mr. Zhao.
After all, it was Ding Wanqiu who introduced the buyer, so Mr. Zhao should be polite and thank you.
Li Xuewu didn't light the fire while sitting in the car, and chatted a few words about the house here with Master Dou.
Master Dou wrote down a few flaws in the book, but Li Xuewu didn't say anything about it at the time. He just estimated the price in his mind, and that was the final price.
While the two were chatting, Ding Wanqiu was sent out by Mr. Zhao and his apprentice.
"Thank you very much Master Ding today"
"We are all friends, no need to be polite"
Ding Wanqiu bowed his hands and got into the passenger seat.
After Li Xuewu greeted Mr. Zhao, he set off to continue looking at the house.
There are five houses I want to go to today, all of which I saw at Ding Wanqiu’s place last time.
These people are all from the same theater troupe, or are good friends, so they made an appointment to set off south together this time.
As for why he brought Ding Wanqiu with him, Li Xuewu guessed that it was entirely his earlier habit.
In the previous dynasty, I didn't dare to go far away by myself, because that didn't provide opportunities for thieves.
Most of them hire experts from escort agencies to accompany them.
They are now moving their whole family. They have to cross a bridge and cross the sea to go south to the port city. How dare a few families just start the journey like this.
Even if they all have kung fu, they can't resist special thieves.
Ding Wanqiu is an old man in Sijiu City. He has seen a lot of the world, handled a lot of social relations, and most importantly, he knows how to use hot stuff.
They didn't move south in a hurry. They had been preparing for a while and had everything they needed.
So Ding Wanqiu accompanied them south as a bodyguard, but he was not paid for this trip.
Ding Wanqiu then visited three houses with Li Xuewu. Looking back from Zhenrujing Hutong on Xishiku Street, there was basically a line all the way to Yuer Hutong.
These three are ordinary second-entry courtyards. The two courtyards in Yuer Hutong are still next to each other, where Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhu live.
Mr. Ma lives over there in Zhenrujing.
The yard was very different from the one Mr. Zhao had before, and Li Xuewu was very considerate and didn't put too much pressure on it.
The conditions set were the same, the furniture was to be kept for home use, the belongings and luggage could be taken away, and there were two small yellow croakers in one place.
Because Ding Wanqiu was the mediator and informed Mr. Zhao of the price, all three companies nodded in agreement.
Li Xuewu successively made appointments with someone to come and take them to go through the exchange and transfer procedures on Monday.
After coming out of Mr. Zhu's house, Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and saw that it was already time to get off work.
Behind them, the Zhu Yu family politely sent Li Xuewu and Ding Wanqiu out.
It was only after Li Xuewu's car left that he returned to the courtyard.
The reason why the deal was concluded so happily was not only Li Xuewu's cheerfulness, but also the turmoil of the current situation.
This month they became increasingly frightened and eager to go south.
So when Li Xuewu said that settlement should be made in gold bars, they thought for a while and then agreed.
It's not easy to sell a house. If it doesn't sell, it will have to be left here sooner or later. Then nothing will be said, and if you waste time, you may not be able to get out.
Although the families who had sold their property all had sad faces, they still breathed a sigh of relief like a big stone in their hearts.
"The last part belongs to Mr. Yu, the one I wanted to perform with you last time."
"Haha, remember"
It's interesting why Li Xuewu doesn't remember the old man.
When he saw that he didn't understand drama, he didn't want to do it. When he saw that he was about to leave, he even wanted to perform for himself.
"This last place was at drama school?"
"On the opposite side"
Ding Wanqiu explained: "Mr. Yu has a great talent and was hired as a teacher at the School of Drama. Apart from performing on stage, he is basically busy teaching."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuewu and explained, "Have you seen the first four disciples?"
"Um?"
Li Xuewu drove his car and walked along Yuer Hutong. After passing Nanluogu Lane, he reached Dongmianmian Hutong.
"What's wrong with my apprentice? He looks good."
He didn't pay attention to this. At this time, everyone in Peking Opera would accept apprentices.
There are sons and apprentices. In any profession, spirituality is required, especially in Peking Opera.
In the early years, Peking Opera classes mainly recruited students. They traveled all over the country to find children of school age, buy them back, and take them on as apprentices.
Provide food and drink, teach people how to behave, teach skills, and when they are older, they have to take care of getting married and having children.
It's the same with sons and daughters.
Of course, there are some differences between this apprentice and his biological son and biological daughter.
Because I couldn't bear to beat him, I gave them to my colleagues.
These disciples were able to kill them, and they were truly masters under the stick.
Is there any Peking Opera performer who has never been beaten? They have to get up and practice their voices before the chicken wakes up.
Even if the dogs are asleep, they can't sleep either. They have to practice kungfu, waist training, leg training, and stage steps.
In recent years, this has not been possible, because the state no longer allows the purchase of children, and can only take in orphans and children from poor families.
The children Li Xuewu saw in these homes, whether they were older or younger, were all the disciples of these gentlemen.
To put it bluntly, it's the kind that parents don't intend to take when they give it to them, and the master doesn't give it to them either.
Why?
Because three years as an apprentice means five and a half years, and seven years as a master, you still have to work for the master for five years after you are a master, so you have to work in vain and pay back the tuition fees for these years.
This doesn’t mean that you entered the school at the age of five and paid off your tuition by the age of seventeen. It’s not like that.
Before you were an apprentice for three years, you had to work for the master's family for many, many years.
When the master sees that you are ready, you will slowly start your three-year apprenticeship.
Go! Go clean the table!
Go! Go sweep the floor!
Go! Substitute for Master...
"Those you see are all brought up by a few gentlemen since they were young. They teach you how to do things and how to do things. But the gentleman you will meet later has all kinds of apprentices."
Ding Wanqiu felt that the people brought by Li Xuewu were confident, so he had less scruples in his words.
What's more likely is that I feel like I have to leave, so I finally want to say something to save my heart from being upset.
As he spoke, he held the passenger door frame and said to Li Xuewu: "The first four are more sophisticated than others. The one we want to go to is both talented and talented, haha."
Seeing that the jeep was approaching, he added: "Because there are many apprentices, this house is also big. If you are a third-person, take a good look at it. It's quite good."
"Yeah, let's take a closer look."
Li Xuewu parked the car at the main entrance and got out of the car with Ding Wanqiu with a smile.
Master Dou was silent and began to take stock of the situation in the house.
He was here to work, so there was no need for him to be polite. His eyes were already looking at the back wall of the back room, the main entrance hall, and the concierge.
Some people say that a siheyuan with three entrances is called a siheyuan because they can be surrounded together.
Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at the third courtyard. The door was a traditional barbarian gate. It seemed that he was an official when he built the house.
There are also three steps at the door, with a stone lion and a door pier on each side.
The Soviet-style paintings on the entrance hall are not old but appear to be new. It seems that the owner of this house is very wealthy and has money to maintain it.
Ding Wanqiu took the initiative to knock on the door, turned back to Li Xuewu and said, "You'll know when you get in. It's different from my house. If you don't ring the doorbell, I won't know who's coming."
Indeed, before he finished speaking, the door was already opened.
"Master Ding, you are here"
A young man opened the door, and when he saw it was Ding Wanqiu, he greeted him.
Then he glanced at Li Xuewu and others behind Ding Wanqiu and stopped talking, retreated and stood aside.
Ding Wanqiu replied: "Hey, it's Shubao. I just came over to your house. I made an appointment with your master to bring someone to see the house."
"Please come in, father and master have already given instructions."
This young man was 18 or 19 years old, and he was obviously still in the apprenticeship. His voice was soft and weak when he spoke. I don't know if it was because of protecting his throat.
Ding Wanqiu nodded, pointed at Li Xuewu and introduced: "This is my friend, Mr. Li."
"Hello Mr. Li, Master just asked about you."
Ding Wanqiu noticed Li Xuewu's doubts and introduced him: "This is Mr. Zhu's son, and he is studying under Mr. Yu."
"Oh, it's the one I sang last time...it's pretty good, not bad."
Li Xuewu then remembered that the first song he listened to last time was sung by this person. He couldn't remember what he sang, but he did remember that he sang it well and in a feminine way.
Seeing that Li Xuewu couldn't remember what he sang and praised him for singing well last time, Zhu Shubao didn't dare to care. He had heard this person's identity that day.
It was the owner who had bought his own house, so he couldn't offend him, so he could only express his love in a polite way.
Then he invited Li Xuewu and walked into the courtyard together.
This third-entry yard not only has an extra back room than the second-entry yard, but the size and specifications of the yard are also different.
Li Xuewu looked at the screen wall, nodded slightly and then walked inside.
There are five reverse rooms plus a concierge, which is not much smaller than the courtyard where Li Xuewu lived.
The Weeping Flower Gate has three steps. Obviously, the people who lived here were not ordinary people in the past.
When they entered the middle courtyard, they saw Mr. Yu, who had spoken to Li Xuewu last time, standing at the door of the main room waiting for him.
"Mr. Yu, I've been waiting for a long time!"
"Master Ding, Director Li, we are here to welcome you. I apologize for any delay in greeting you from afar!"
"Hello, Mr. Yu!"
…
The three of them stood in front of the main room and exchanged a few polite words. Mr. Yu invited a few people into the main room to seat the guests and host.
Because Li Xuewu was the buyer and Ding Wanqiu was the middleman, Ding Wanqiu sat on one side, and Li Xuewu and Master Dou sat on the other side.
Mr. Yu was obviously a bit conservative and sat next to the table at the Eight Immortals Table.
After a few people sat down, a young apprentice served tea to them.
Perhaps it was already dinner time, but sitting in the main room, one could still hear bursts of voices coming from the backyard.
"The students living at home are more lively and make Director Li laugh."
"You're welcome"
Li Xuewu responded with a smile, looked at Ding Wanqiu, and then said to Mr. Yu: "I know you are busy, so let's not be polite. I brought a friend to help me look at the house."
While talking, he introduced Master Dou, and Master Dou checked what he said.
Seeing Li Xuewu say this, Mr. Yu looked a little helpless, but he still nodded happily.
He called Zhu Shubao from before to take Master Dou to see the house, and at the same time he asked his disciples to cooperate.
Seeing that Li Xuewu had not left, Mr. Yu said to Ding Wanqiu: "It's not easy to hear that you have already taken care of the matter."
"Hey, isn't that what it means to leave your family and career behind?"
After walking all the way, Ding Wanqiu felt relieved a lot, and said with emotion: "To be honest, without Director Li's help, I wouldn't be able to leave this time."
"You still have a wide range of contacts and many noble people."
Although Mr. Yu seemed to be in a bad mood, he was still polite when he spoke.
At this moment, he said to Li Xuewu again: "We are all people without roots. I hope Director Li will bear with me this time."
"Don't worry, this is a personal matter between us."
Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said, "I'm also helping my friends to look at each other. If they work out, I won't be the one trading with you."
"Yes yes yes"
Mr. Yu nodded in approval of Li Xuewu's words and understood the meaning.
Seeing that Mr. Yu was not in a high mood, Li Xuewu stood up, walked out of the room under the gaze of the two men, and casually looked around the house.
Knowing that Ding Wanqiu had something to say to him, Li Xuewu didn't listen much inside. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
The courtyard is divided into four parts by a crossroad. The road is made of stone bricks, and the four separated squares are land.
There is a fruit tree on every piece of land.
I don’t know how many years it has been growing, and I don’t know if it was planted by Mr. Yu, but the flowers are blooming well.
It was dark, and the lights on the eaves illuminated the scenery.
The nearest one is a cherry tree, and the one on the other side is a pomegranate tree.
If it is prosperous, it will have many children and grandchildren.
There is a lamp on the front, back, left, and right of the courtyard. Although the wattage is not large, it is quite bright.
From time to time, apprentices would come out of the room and go to a side room, which was obviously the fire room.
Li Xuewu stood in the courtyard and looked at the fruit trees, but he saw the girl with big braids who opened the door for him last time walking out of the backyard together with the two girls.
The people who came out after them were all girls. It was obvious that the back room was for these female apprentices.
Li Xuewu looked at them, and the big braid also saw Li Xuewu.
She had a very deep impression of Li Xuewu. Apart from him, Li Xuewu was tall and intimidating.
What impressed her the most was Li Xuewu's identity. The apprentices they went to that day all heard Master Ding from the martial arts school say that this person had an extremely high status.
I glanced at them secretly and saw that Li Xuewu turned away from them, and they all started talking in low voices again.
Why did this person come to Master's house?
And instead of staying in the house, he just stood and wandered in the yard.
By coincidence, at this time Mr. Yu's apprentice Zhu Shubao and Master Dou came back from the front.
"Master, let's go take a look at the backyard."
"good"
Li Xuewu turned around and warned Master Dou: "It seems that most of the people in the backyard are female relatives, so be careful."
"Hey, I got it"
Master Dou nodded slightly and followed the young man who led the way to the backyard.
Opera master, this courtyard is similar to a martial arts hall. There are racks of weapons with eighteen types of weapons.
They seem to recognize each other, but they are not real guys, they are just charlatans.
Obviously, these students still have to practice at night. The outfits and props in the courtyard are still there, so maybe they are going to have some fun.
Li Xuewu knew little about Peking Opera, but he was rather curious and appreciative of these props.
He had never understood why some opera characters carried several flags on their backs, so when he saw them now he took a closer look.
It was not made of iron, but of wood. He found out after knocking it with his hand.
Then I looked at the others placed on the stools, and some even picked them up and looked at them carefully.
"That...this is mine"
Li Xuewu was holding a sword and looking at it. He was about to pull it out to see if it was real, but he heard someone behind him speaking.
"Oh, okay, I'm sorry."
Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment, then responded and handed the sword in his hand to the girl with big braids he saw that day.
Standing with this girl were the three people I saw just now. The three people who came out with her were obviously having a good time.
At this moment, the three of them were all looking at Li Xuewu, who was standing with a light behind his back, obviously very curious about his appearance here.
The girl reached out to take the sword, glanced at Li Xuewu, nodded slightly, and walked to the backyard.
Li Xuewu looked at the girl's feet. Why didn't she make any sound when she walked?
His hearing was quite sharp, but he didn't hear anyone coming behind him just now, so it was obvious that he didn't make any sound when he walked.
Li Xuewu took a closer look and saw that the girl walked on the balls of her front feet, with her heels touching the ground like a cat.
Before the three girls could get away from Li Xuewu, Master Dou and the others also came out of the backyard.
"My boss, take a look. The front and back are complete. The back room is a building with a second floor and the materials are all solid."
Master Dou handed the notebook in his hand to Li Xuewu, and then stood aside and stopped talking.
The three girls who were about to leave all stopped when they heard Master Dou's words and looked towards the main room.
Then the oval-faced girl standing on the side of the big braided girl asked the master brother Zhu Shubao: "Brother, master is going to sell the house?"
"This is not something you can ask about."
Zhu Shubao was very strict with the junior sisters, especially when he saw them talking to Li Xuewu.
At this moment, the girl on the other side said with a trembling voice: "I heard from my father that we are going to the south...".
"Red plum!"
Zhu Shubao frowned, glanced at Li Xuewu who was reading a book, and then said to several people: "Go and practice Kung Fu."
Of course, the few junior sisters did not dare to disobey their senior brother's order. Although their faces turned pale when they heard the news, they all forced themselves to move aside.
But Li Xuewu could still feel the eyes of these girls staring at him, obviously unaware of the master's departure.
Master Dou lowered his eyes, not looking at these people, and just pretended to disappear.
Li Xuewu heard the three little sisters over there whispering.
The girl who was called Hongmei just now was a heartless person, and she told him immediately when she was asked.
The master and his father discussed that they were going to the south. Some disciples would take the lead, and some disciples...
After reading the book in General Li Xuewu's hand, he raised his head and met the panicked and helpless eyes of the girl with big braids.
This look was not directed at him, but at Zhu Shubao who was standing next to Master Dou.
From the reactions of several people, we knew that at least two of these three girls should have been abandoned by their master.
The one named Hongmei also knew this because her father was the daughter of Mr. Ma, whom Li Xuewu bought the house before.
Zhu Shubao and this girl with big braids might have been childhood sweethearts again, but now they are...
Haha, it seems that these beautiful actresses are going to put on a good show here.
Li Xuewu didn't like going to the theater, so he paid no attention to them and the large number of disciples who came out to watch after hearing the news. He took Master Dou into the hall with his notebook. Ding Wanqiu and Ding Wanqiu also stopped talking and looked at Li Xuewu.
Learn martial arts.
Li Xuewu walked back to his seat, put the notebook in his hand on the small table, and said as he sat down: "I have already booked the houses of the four gentlemen, and I won't fool you here. It's a fixed price."
Two and a half small yellow croakers, the conditions are the same, except for the money and luggage, the rest of the furniture and household items must be left to me."
Mr. Yu frowned and nodded: "I know the price you gave is not low, but the location of this house is good. I just renovated the house the year before last, and it cost more than a few hundred yuan."
As he spoke, he looked around the courtyard and looked at the disciples who were standing in the courtyard in a panic after hearing the news and said, "I have many disciples, but I can't support them if I don't have enough money."
Ding Wanqiu looked at Mr. Yu and then at Li Xuewu.
He couldn't speak rashly. Both parties were his friends. Today he was the middleman, but not the broker, so it was really inconvenient for him to say some things.
Li Xuewu knocked on the armrest of the chair with his hand and said: "You and I have no direct relationship. What I bought was this yard, not your helplessness and stories."
"If you say so, do I still have to prepare dry food for you to set off?"
"Director Li!"
Ding Wanqiu didn't expect Li Xuewu to speak so directly and a little rudely, so he stopped him.
When Li Xuewu stopped talking, he looked at Mr. Yu and said: "This price is indeed not low. You know the condition of the other gentlemen's yards. The latest one to be cleaned up is also Mr. Ma's yard."
"I know, I know"
Mr. Yu looked at Li Xuewu and nodded and said: "It's true that we are poor and rich, and I have many apprentices. People eat what horses chew. Alas~~~ I'm afraid I won't be able to get one!"
There are indeed more people in this courtyard than in the courtyards of other gentlemen, much more!
Just those half-sized guys would have to eat a lot.
What's more, the girl who just came out of the backyard is old and young.
"I'm not a philanthropist"
Li Xuewu curled his lips, looked at Mr. Yu and said, "If you feel it's not appropriate, you can wait and see again."
As he spoke, he got up and took Master Dou out.
Ding Wanqiu came over and stopped Li Xuewu and persuaded him: "I am caught in the middle. I know everything you said. Let's discuss it later."
As he spoke, Li Xuewu took his seat again.
"Mr. Yu, don't keep saying that these are available or not. You can open your teeth yourself and decide how many are suitable for you. Please tell me a number."
Ding Wanqiu also had no choice but to start communication work.
"three roots"
Mr. Yu also understood from Li Xuewu's meaning that if he wanted too much, it would be wrong, and if he wanted too little, it would not be appropriate.
Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said nothing. A two-story rear roof was added to the backyard?
Ding Wanqiu advised: "Mr. Yu, we have already discussed it and set off together. If you pass this village, you will lose this store. We can't keep waiting for you, right?"
Mr. Yu looked at Li Xuewu unwillingly, but Li Xuewu sat there with squinted eyes and said nothing, and was frozen here for a moment.
Ding Wanqiu is trying to persuade this and talk about that, trying to find a balance between two and a half and three.
"Okay, three"
Li Xuewu nodded, opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Yu and said, "But there are a few conditions."
"You said it!"
Mr. Yu also became serious, looked at Li Xuewu, and waited for the conditions.
"You should have a troupe, right?"
Li Xuewu pointed to the location of the wing outside and said: "Leave these props and accessories of yours, and leave the paintings and calligraphy in your study intact. I will give you three."
"this……"
Mr. Yu never expected that Li Xuewu would make up his mind based on his outfit and books.
Not to mention anything else, those opera robes alone cost more than half a gold bar, not to mention there was a whole troupe of guys there.
His study room is full of treasures he bought and calligraphy and paintings given to him by famous people in the past.
Ding Wanqiu was also stunned for a moment, looked at Li Xuewu with some confusion and asked: "Brother, why did you... fall in love with these things?"
As he spoke, he looked at the books in the study and advised: "Those are all opera books. They are worthless. Even if they are alone, they can be worth gold?"
"Just curious"
Li Xuewu said with an indifferent expression: "I feel bad for giving you three. You are not willing to accept less than half. Now put something on it, so that we can each take a step back."
As he spoke, he chuckled twice and said nonchalantly: "I might as well learn the quintessence of Chinese culture from your nonsense. When you come back in the future, maybe I can sing a few lines to you."
Mr. Yu frowned and looked at the utensils, calligraphy and paintings that he relied on for survival in the house over there, and he was more reluctant to part with them than to sell the house.
He planned to take this with him when he left. When he got to the south, he planned to resume his old business and eat this bowl of rice again.
If the bowl is sold now, what will he eat with it?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "More tea for everyone"
While Mr. Yu was hesitating, his lover walked in carrying a teapot.
At some point, all the students watching the fun in the courtyard dispersed. It was obviously the work of this teacher's wife.
Zhu Shubao responded to the teacher's wife's greeting and gave Li Xuewu, Ding Wanqiu and others some tea.
Ding Wanqiu also introduced this female gentleman to Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu nodded as a greeting.
The arrival of Mrs. Yu eased the tense atmosphere and gave Mr. Yu time to think.
"Thank you for your help"
Mrs. Yu seemed downright generous. She thanked Li Xuewu first, and then thanked Ding Wanqiu for her hard work.
Ding Wanqiu waved his hand and motioned to Mr. Yu who was sitting over there.
After being polite to Li Xuewu, Mrs. Yu turned to her lover knowingly and said, "I don't know what I will encounter along the way. Let's buy things when we get to the south. Let's travel lightly so that the children can deal with it more easily."
.
"Oh~~it's up to you"
Mr. Yu sighed, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I haven't used those things for a few years, but the ones the children usually practice are placed outside. I'll ask the children to check them out tonight, and you can come back for acceptance."
.
"Thank you for your hard work"
Li Xuewu didn't say any more polite words. He stood up and said to Ding Wanqiu and Mr. Yu: "That's it. I'll ask someone to come and go through the formalities on Monday, and we'll be back right now."
"Director Li, the food has been prepared."
Mr. Yu stood up and walked to Li Xuewu and said: "I know you will come later. I have asked my apprentice to prepare meals, and I have been waiting for you."
“You’re too kind”
Li Xuewu held Mr. Yu's hand and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, my family is also waiting to go back for dinner. There are still guests here today, so I really can't stay."
"That's really unfortunate."
Mr. Yu was obviously not being polite when he stayed with Li Xuewu for dinner, but he was really prepared.
But Li Xuewu never eats out, let alone in such a home.
I just bought someone else's house and it's not good to eat and drink here. Li Xuewu is a real person and can't do such a thing.
Just now Mr. Yu told Li Xuewu to check the things in the wing, but Li Xuewu didn't pay attention.
What is too much or too little is nothing more than those things.
He really has no use for it. He just wants to make it a decoration or something in the future to give it an artistic feel.
It will be used if you can't prepare the house on East 46th.
Then there is the study room. Li Xuewu read it from Master Dou's notebook and found that there are still some good things, so it is not a loss at all.
Furthermore, Li Xuewu didn't care much about the few hundred yuan. The yard was indeed well kept and Master Dou's judgment was also very good. There was basically no need for renovation.
As Mr. Yu and Ding Wanqiu walked out, Li Xuewu was polite to them at the door for a while, took out the rattan box from the back of the car and handed it to Ding Wanqiu, and the two got off the car and drove back.
Ding Wanqiu has already said that he will stay here tonight.
"What, what should we have for dinner? I'll treat you."
Li Xuewu took Master Dou back while driving. If I bothered someone to help me today, I would naturally treat him to a treat.
However, Master Dou waved his hand and motioned to Li Xuewu to just send him to his door.
"I have guests at home today, and they are all waiting for me."
"You also use this trick? Haha"
Li Xuewu smiled and said to Master Dou: "Let's go eat mutton pot. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"That's not true!"
Master Dou also smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to say what I wanted to say."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
While joking, Master Dou explained: "My child's grandfather and grandmother came from the country today, and I have to drink with my father-in-law."
"Really?"
Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at Master Dou and said, "Don't pretend, I'm really asking."
"I know, I know"
Master Dou nodded and said: "We have a real relationship. I have never pretended to be with you. Biaozi didn't say you would keep me. I sometimes eat there. I really have to go back."
"Then tomorrow"
When Li Xuewu saw that he really didn't want to go, he turned the steering wheel and drove Master Dou to his house.
"But you still have to work hard. You have to help me clean up these houses."
Li Xuewu said to Master Dou while driving the car: "If you have time tomorrow, come to my place to eat in the evening and we can discuss it."
"no problem"
Master Dou really wanted to follow Li Xuewu, so he didn't hesitate to give him a meal or two.
In his heart, as long as Li Xuewu accepted him and arranged a unit like a recycling bin for him, he would be worth it.
What do people like them need most?
It's not money, it's security.
How many times has the wind blowed in Sijiu City? Once the wind passed, their social status would be lower. If it had come a few more times, they would not have to live.
Dou Yaozu knew in his heart that poor people like them were not as rich and well-connected as the gentlemen just now, so they could travel far away.
There is no big house that can be sold to pay for travel expenses and a comeback.
Sijiucheng is like a cage, locking people like them tightly inside.
You can't get out, you can't leave, you can only live here from generation to generation.
They don't want to leave their hometown, they just want to live a better and more stable life.
Others didn't know it, but Dou Yaozu finally understood that he was definitely a smart man.
It just depends on who can compare with someone who has become a senior cadre at the age of twenty.
He also often goes to the steel rolling mill, and he has heard a lot of Li Xuewu's reputation.
To be able to make a name for himself in a large factory with more than 10,000 people, Dou Yaozu is determined to follow this person, and it will be difficult for anyone to do it!
Li Xuewu sent Master Dou to the door of his house, said goodbye with a smile, and then drove back.
On the way, I put a bunch of mutton and a bunch of beef in the back of the car. I plan to take them home. I will pack them out tonight and roast them tomorrow.
Because they were all going around home and Qian'er, Master Dou's house itself was not far away, so he stepped on the accelerator and entered the alley.
By the time Li Xuewu parked the car, it was exactly seven o'clock.
I had just finished eating half of the meal in the restaurant when I heard the sound of a car. Several boys came out to help Li Xuewu move the meat in.
When Li Xuewu entered the house, Yu Li stood in the kitchen and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Nothing"
Li Xuewu looked at the east room where he was eating and asked, "Is it enough for me?"
"That's enough. I'm just afraid that you might come back suddenly and bring out more."
Yu Li gave Li Xuewu some face wash and went to prepare the rice bowl.
After Li Xuewu finished washing, he took the towel handed over by Yu Li, walked into the east room, squeezed in and ate together.
I haven't eaten here for several days, but the atmosphere here is still lively.
As soon as I sat down, I heard my eldest grandma say: "The third child's partner is here and he said he is looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Where is the person? Has he gone back?"
“Eating in the backyard”
The eldest grandma made a gesture and stopped talking about it.
Li Xuewu nodded, indicating that he understood, and replied to his grandma: "There is something I need to tell you."
As he spoke, he pointed to the north and said: "I asked for some wood from the mountain. Do you want to go and see if there is any suitable wood that can be set aside to make furniture or something?"
"Red Star Village?"
My eldest grandma knew that Li Xuewu often went to the mountains, and he also went to Hongxing Village.
"Um"
Li Xuewu didn't say much, just explained: "They are about to open up wasteland and have to cut down a lot of trees."
"Well, I'll take a look when I have time."
The eldest grandma nodded, discussed with Lao Biaozi, and set a time.
Li Xuewu also told Lao Biaozi to help him burn charcoal for tomorrow.
Lao Biaozi nodded, knowing that Brother Wu had something to tell him.
There are still the same number of people eating here, but Pazile is missing.
Li Xuewu looked at Silly Zhu and asked, "Is Master feeling better?"
"It's okay, I can eat now"
Silly Zhu responded, then frowned and asked: "Why did the bangs come out? I saw him go home just now."
"Don't worry, take care of yourself"
Li Xuewu nodded at him, and then asked: "Have you told Master Dou about cleaning up the house?"
Silly Zhu didn't know why Li Xuewu didn't let him ask about this case. He frowned but listened to Li Xuewu's words.
He might bite his neck and bite what others said, but Li Xuewu couldn't help but refuse to listen.
"I told you, Master Dou is enough to give you face."
Silly Zhu gritted his teeth and was a little excited when he thought about his marriage. He said, "As soon as I get the house in the east courtyard, I'll take care of it."
As he spoke, he glanced at Delia who was eating on the kang.
Delia also heard what he said and was a little embarrassed by him. She glared at him and ignored him.
Regardless of the fact that the marriage has been settled, Delia will not give Fool a chance in front of others, no matter what.
It's just that Delia has washed Silzhu's clothes now, so Xilin won't repay his favor through this.
Li Xuewu looked at Delia on the kang and saw Xilin.
Now that the marriage between Silly Zhu and Delia has been decided, this house will have to be sold out.
Fortunately, Yu Li's house is about to be built, otherwise Yu Li would have to find a place to live again.
When Yu Yu returns to the original house, Xilin and Li Xuewu have to find a way to resettle it.
