Li Xuewu saw an old man watching and playing with birds, so he asked.
But the old man ignored him. From the corner of his eyes, he knew that Li Xuewu was an amateur.
What the old man was looking at was a half-meter-high circular bird cage. The top cover was slightly slumped, but the bars on the "Japanese Gate" were dark.
There are five bird feed jars in the bird cage, two food jars, two water jars, and a flat one for insects. The pattern on the bird feed jar is a set of peonies, and the clusters of flowers are particularly enchanting.
"Let's go, I saw it wrong, it's just a family of thieves."
Li Xuewu couldn't understand a bird or a human being. This old guy didn't think highly of him at first sight. He just didn't answer and even smeared him with his eyelids.
Can this still help him?
But he is really at a loss. There are some people around here. If Li Xuewu said this, who would be willing to come and see them.
Even if he came to watch, it would not be lively enough for him, but this old man was most afraid of the excitement.
Without him, bird keepers would not be very lively. They are afraid that the noise of people will frighten the birds, and they are even more afraid that too much talking will ruin the birds' chirping. If there are too many people, the birds will be frightened to death.
This bird is also difficult to raise. Whenever you encounter a few crows or other things, this bird will imitate the good ones and not the bad ones.
Just like the father-in-law raising a daughter who is afraid of yellow hair, this girl likes the weirdness of yellow hair the most.
This bird also likes to change the sound of its call. If the sound of the bird's call changes, then the bird has been raised in vain and it will never be corrected.
You need to be more careful when raising them on a daily basis, and the bird cage must always be covered with a sea-blue cloth cover.
When the old man saw that the young man had no martial ethics, he just said something and was about to leave. There was no way he could be tolerated.
It doesn't matter if Li Xuewu scolds him, since he won't lose any weight anyway.
But insulting his bird was a big deal. If he hadn't seen Li Xuewu as a tall man, he would have punched him earlier.
"Hey, man! Keep your words and be kind~"
The old man turned around, looked at Li Xuewu who was about to pull his wife away and said something with narrowed eyes.
Gu Ning was also helpless. As soon as Li Xuewu opened his mouth, she knew that the social gangster was about to show off his power.
This display of power is nothing more than two tricks. If you want to tell him, he will support you and chat with you. If you don't want to tell him, he will tease you and chat with you.
This teasing style also has to poke you in the waist, and it has to make you jump to chat with him.
Seeing the old man fuming, Gu Ning felt embarrassed, but the bad guy was like this, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Li Xuewu was stopped by the old man. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Hey, good man, do you want to refer to a deer as a horse or a mouse as a duck?"
"you!……"
Gu Ning looked at the old man's cheeks and pulled Li Xuewu hard to remind him not to go too far.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that if the old man goes against Li Xuewu again because of a few words, he will be guilty of a big crime.
Li Xuewu glanced at the calm and majestic bird cage again. Although it was covered with cloth, he still raised his eyebrows and said: "I asked you if this is a thrush, and you didn't answer, so I can only guess casually.
Got it!"
"You are so reasonable!"
The old man's fists were clenched in his sleeves, but he still had nothing to do with Li Xuewu.
But when he saw the girl next to the little bastard, he curled up his lips and said, "That good girl is blind for nothing."
"Hey! Zombie Fire, right?"
When Li Xuewu saw that he had said something about the old man, the old guy turned around and said about his wife, staring at him and about to start taking damage.
The old man saw Li Xuewu raise his voice slightly, but he knew that this man looked neatly dressed, but in fact he was just messing around and cutting meat!
How dare he let Li Xuewu make such a noise at the door? He quickly waved his hand, frowned and asked: "What on earth do you want to do?"
“Buy a bird!”
Li Xuewu scratched his neck, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll just buy the colored thief from home!"
"Hey! We have a grievance in the past?"
"No!"
"Have you had any grudges recently?"
"No!"
The old man looked at Li Xuewu carefully, frowned and asked, "Then why are you kidding me?"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves again, straightened his body slightly, and said with drooped eyelids: "Looking at you, you are not an ordinary person. This shows your wife that you are not young anymore. If you want to make yourself happy, you have to go to the cinema. We
This~hehe!”
"Haha~"
Seeing the old man hehe, Li Xuewu also hehe. Regardless of Gu Ning's reminder, he raised his finger and pointed at the bird cage over there and asked: "You have a way of opening your door to meet guests and being friendly and making money. Let me ask you whether to sell the bird or not?"
"
"Sell! I sell~!"
This old man has seen many gangsters like Li Xuewu. He has never seen any kind of people in Sijiu City before. Li Xuewu can only be said to be average~
The old man held his hands in his sleeves and nodded slightly: "But what I'm selling is not a house thief, but a thrush! Thirty-five yuan, no price!"
Li Xuewu didn't care about the price he offered later. He turned to Gu Ning and said, "Come on, that gadget is a thrush, not a thief."
After saying that, he ignored the stunned old man, took Gu Ning's hand and said, "Let's go buy flowers."
Gu Ning was pulled forward by Li Xuewu and took two steps forward. He was really too embarrassed to see anyone, especially when he saw that the old man over there was so angry that his face changed shape and he quickly lowered his head.
It's not that I'm angry, I don't want to know this bad guy...
"Hey! Boy!"
The old man angrily took two steps forward, paused, stared, and said, "You are not like you. You dress like a rich man, but you beat the poor guys!"
"Oh~! I met the evil master"
Li Xuewu saw the person blocking the way, straightened his body, looked at the old man with drooped eyelids and said: "I don't have time to fight with you, you are dishonest, I can't buy your things."
"How dishonest!"
The old man also had a stubborn temper. He frowned and asked, "You have to tell me that I am ugly today. You will ruin my reputation in vain!"
Li Xuewu squeezed Gu Ning's hand and told her not to be nervous, but he looked at the old man and asked, "What did I ask you just now?"
The old man shook his teeth and said, "You ask if this is a thrush?"
"Yes!"
Li Xuewu leaned his neck back and asked again: "Then let me ask you what do I want to buy?"
"you!"
Only then did the old man realize that Li Xuewu was ambush here.
Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "What I want to buy is a painted thieves from my hometown, not your thrush. You are not dishonest, what are you?"
"Okay! Consider me dishonest!"
The old man was also a ruthless character. He pointed to the bird cage over there and said, "Even if it is a colored thief from home, it costs thirty-five yuan. Do you want to buy it?"
At this time, there were already several people watching the excitement standing around. Seeing the old man and the young couple frozen, they all looked on with a smile.
It's still early when it gets dark. Who would want to look at the flowers when there's so much excitement?
"purchase!"
Li Xuewu seemed to be really frozen, and he took out four big unity cards from his pocket. The crowd looked at them and said, oh, good guy, it's really fun.
The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Xuewu actually paying for it, but since he was able to sell the bird at a high price, he was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to take the money from Li Xuewu's hand.
This is a rule. When doing business, when collecting money, you must either ask the customer to put the money on the counter, or reach out to take the money from the customer's hand. There is no waiting with hands spread out.
Li Xuewu grabbed the old man's hand when he came over and gestured to the birdcage over there.
Before the old man could speak, he said: "Hey~ You have to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, right? It's the rules of the world~"
The old man looked at Li Xuewu and didn't know where his grandson was in the world or where he learned the rules.
However, with so many people watching, the old man was not afraid that Li Xuewu would turn around and run away. After all, people at this time would be embarrassed.
He withdrew his hand, turned around, went under the shelf, picked out the bird cage, and then looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Please!"
Li Xuewu smiled and walked over and stretched out the money in his hand. He also went to pick up the cage with his other hand, but saw the old man taking the cage back again.
"Why!"
"Hey! The cage is not for sale!"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Please bring me the cage, and I'll move the bird over there for you."
Li Xuewu's outstretched hand stiffened for a moment. He looked carefully at the joke in the old man's eyes and understood that the old man had also played a trick on him.
"Can"
Just when everyone was about to laugh, Li Xuewu raised his arms and said: "I don't have a cage, I only use my hands to catch it, but there is one thing!"
Li Xuewu nodded the cage in the old man's hand and said: "What I want is a painted thrush from home, not your thrush. If it dares to make any sound of thrush, I will send people to post it all over the street."
Notice!"
"you!"
The old man never expected that he would be so shameless when he encountered such trouble today!
Just now, he was just angry with Li Xuewu, and deliberately agreed that this was a thief from his hometown, just to bet that Li Xuewu couldn't pay for it, and that even if Li Xuewu was rich, he wouldn't buy the bird at a high price.
But who would have thought that this young man really has no martial ethics, so he would be trapped in a pit and kicked hard!
How could this thrush not be called a thrush? He would have cried if he really called out the thief in his hometown.
But now, he was in trouble. It wasn't that Li Xuewu didn't buy it, but that he didn't dare to sell it.
He also saw that this grandson didn't come for a bird, not from the beginning, but came for his bird cage.
Let alone thirty-five, this bird cage cannot be sold even for three hundred and fifty!
The cage is made of rosewood, the bars are made of rosewood, the water jug is made of fine porcelain, and the cover and catch are made of brass and white copper.
This bird cage is expensive because of the scarcity of red sandalwood, and even more expensive because of the difficult craftsmanship. Earlier, the craftsman couldn't make one like this in half a year, not to mention that the cover cloth is top-quality brocade and the hooks are strung with jade beads.
I won’t talk about the other bits and pieces. If you don’t put them together for a few thousand, they will definitely not be sold.
Li Xuewu also had a thief's eye, and he was attracted by this cage at a glance. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but he did know the wood, because many of the furniture at home were made of this stuff.
"Hey! You should open the door!"
Li Xuewu raised his right hand and urged the old man: "I am a person who has the most virtuous nature to live a good life. I don't want birds and larks to be trapped in this cage. I caught this thief from my hometown just to release him. Hurry up.
Don’t delay my kindness.”
Listen, this sounds like a human saying. Thieves in my hometown are one of the four pests. Now I want to kill these things, but he said that he has a compassionate heart and wants to let go!
Every bad thing comes with smoke!
Li Xuewu didn't care, and didn't look at the comments of the people around him. He just forced the old man to open the Japanese door of the bird cage.
The old man's face was full of anger, his mouth was trembling with anger, and he clutched the bird cage in his hand but did not dare to open it no matter what.
Unexpectedly, after many years of liberation, there are still gangsters in this city!
"Let's go~ stop making trouble~"
Gu Ning finally couldn't bear it, so she took Li Xuewu's hand and persuaded him: "Hurry back after buying the flowers. We are still waiting for dinner at home."
Li Xuewu saw that the old man really refused to let go, so he could only retract his hand. He was bad, but not evil.
"You must not have the intention to hurt others, but you must have the intention to save others."
Taking a step back, Li Xuewu's face no longer had the playful smirk, but instead was just serious.
Taking Gu Ning's hand, Li Xuewu pointed at the foot of the doorstep and said coldly: "Eight years ago, a few boys sold crickets on this street and used your roof to hide from the rain. What did you do?
You should still remember it, right?"
"You! You are..."
The old man thought for a moment, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Li Xuewu again, but he only felt that the little boy back then was in no contrast to the bright clothes he wears now.
"I'm not here to seek revenge. The cold looks I received back then are not worth the time I come to seek revenge."
Li Xuewu lowered his eyelids and looked at the houses facing the street that he once envied, but now they all felt low.
"I just want to see if the dog can change and eat shit!"
After saying that, he took Gu Ning and walked forward, even though the old man behind him looked at his back in shock, and he didn't care about the surprised expressions of those onlookers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Ning squeezed Li Xuewu's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know that person..."
“You should do this if you know it”
Li Xuewu turned to Gu Ning and smiled: "Kindness will always be the most attractive thing about you, and it is more valuable than anything else."
Gu Ning was a little at a loss by Li Xuewu's sudden confession. She forcefully broke away from Li Xuewu's hand and walked forward quickly.
This guy really talks about anything on the street, but... his words are really nice.
An unexpected episode did not disturb the mood of the two of them. They walked along the alley and watched. Gu Ning was curious about everything and asked Li Xuewu a few words from time to time.
There are very few flower sellers here, most of them are fish sellers, and they are all goldfish, but there are many styles and varieties.
Molongjing, five-flowered pearls, lion head, red hat, looking at the sky, blistered eyes, swimming leisurely in the big wooden water basin.
"What's this?"
"Molongjing, everything is pitch black"
"What about this?"
"Pearl, big belly and small tail"
"What about this?"
"Looking at the sky, I always seem to be eye-catching with you."
…
The goldfish here are all packed in large wooden basins. The wooden basins are placed on a shelf not high from the ground. There are thick moss growing on the walls of the wooden basins. It is obvious that this is a family property.
The fish seller was a man in his forties. When he saw Li Xuewu coaxing his wife, what he said was correct. It seemed that he had done some research on this.
"You are an expert"
The man gave Li Xuewu a thumbs up and asked with a smile: "What? Is there anyone you like?"
Li Xuewu glanced at Gu Ning and saw that she really liked this thing.
In fact, Li Xuewu doesn't like raising fish very much. It's too strenuous and even more tiring than raising birds.
It's easy to talk about changing the water and feeding, but the key is that this thing floats up inexplicably, and I don't know what's wrong with it.
When Gu Ning saw the man asking, he straightened up, put his hand on Li Xuewu's arm and prepared to leave.
She just looked at it, and even if she liked it, she really liked it, but she didn't know how to keep it.
Having the ability to possess is love, and possessing without the ability is committing sin.
Li Xuewu understood Gu Ning's thoughts. It seemed that in future generations, when he bought it for children, the adults only treated it as a novelty for the children, and did not teach them how to take care of living creatures, nor did they teach them the habits and principles of animals.
But just throw these little lives away after they die, and buy them again if your children want them again.
But with such indifference, what can children learn and understand?
"The space at home is large and spacious enough. Do you have a suitable basin?"
Li Xuewu tapped the moss on the wooden basin and said: "It must be able to give birth to this."
Seeing that Li Xuewu really wanted to buy it, Gu Ning pulled Li Xuewu and asked softly: "Can you raise it?"
Li Xuewu gave her a reassuring look and said confidently: "Don't worry, I am professional in fish farming and I have secrets!"
The man selling fish over there was also quite honest and honest. He knew that Li Xuewu had some troubles, so when he saw what he said, he pricked up his ears and listened.
Gu Ning also looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously. She had never heard that Li Xuewu's family had raised fish, and she had never seen Li Xuewu raise fish himself. Why was there a secret?
When people passing by heard the conversation here, they slowed down and waited, waiting for Li Xuewu to show up. They were eager to learn.
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows at Gu Ning's suspicious gaze and said, "Feed one day at a time..."
As soon as he said the first sentence, the man selling fish was stunned. He had never seen such a fish farmer before.
Then Li Xuewu's words made him burst into laughter: "Feed the children every day, change the water every three days, wash the tank every five days, and change the fish every seven days!"
"Pfft~"
"Hehehe~"
"Hahahaha~"
The people around him only thought that this young man was really interesting, and they all left with smiles. But Gu Ning had already pinched Li Xuewu hard, knowing that he didn't have a decent mouth.
The fish seller laughed loudly, lit the goldfish in the tub and said, "If we had customers like you, our business would be really easy!"
"If you only had customers like me, your business would be ruined! Haha~"
Li Xuewu smiled and gestured, and said: "Here comes a big vat. If you have water lilies here, you can order some for us."
"No problem, just take a look."
Seeing that Li Xuewu was serious about buying it, the man stood up and motioned for Li Xuewu to follow him to the courtyard.
The man grabbed the half-grown man next to him with his hand and told him to watch the stall. He had already led the way for Li Xuewu and the others.
Li Xuewu pulled Gu Ning and followed him into the courtyard. The courtyard was not big and the house looked a little dilapidated, but the rows of large tanks in the courtyard attracted Li Xuewu's attention.
"Nothing new, just a cooking technique passed down from our ancestors, so we can make ends meet."
The man was modest. He led Li Xuewu and the two to the corner, pointed to a row of large vats on the ground and said: "Both wooden basins and clay basins are good, but they are not practical. I still recommend you to get a stone one."
As he spoke, he pointed to the half-meter-diameter round cylinder on the ground and asked, "How about this?"
“Leave it ready at the door”
Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "One and a half meters long and half a meter wide, preferably with a shelf."
This is the approximate size of the space from the entrance to the main entrance of the old lady’s house behind the entrance door of the villa.
Of course, the gap is not just that small. Maybe something was left there before. When Li Xuewu took over, there was nothing there, so maybe it was moved.
After listening to Li Xuewu's words, the man thought for a moment, walked towards the corner, and said with a smile: "Your house is really spacious, such a large stone jar is rare."
As he spoke, he walked to the corner of the wall, pointed at a pair of stone troughs that were turned upside down, and said, "You have to take a look at this set. The old stones from Qinglongkou were brought back from the mountain by my second uncle on a donkey cart.
It took me two years to dig it out."
The man motioned Li Xuewu to look at the stone trough, pointed at the lines of the chisel and said, "See, the carvings are all carved out with one hammer after another."
Li Xuewu lowered his head and took a closer look. It was really a craftsmanship. A discerning eye could tell that it was a stone carving, but the style was good. It was a picture of the Three Happinesses of Fortune, Shou and Lu, with goldfish, auspicious clouds, flat peaches, jade pond and other elements.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Following the man’s guidance, Li Xuewu also touched it and found that the stone was really good.
"What? Are all family heirlooms for sale?"
"Hehe, come on~ There's still a family heirloom!"
When the man saw Li Xuewu squatting down, he also squatted down and offered Li Xuewu a cigarette, but Li Xuewu took out his own cigarette and gave it to him.
“Hey, it’s so smoky”
The man saw the front door and said with a smile: "You are a great cadre, thank you~"
After the two of them lit up their cigarettes, the man started talking. His family had been doing this for seven generations. They used to raise fish in the goldfish pond. There was a spring there, which was mainly used for the palace. It was half-official and half-private.
After the Xinhai Revolution, everything was in chaos. Goldfish Pond changed hands several times. After 1949, the hole was filled and the buildings were built, leaving only a place name.
During the Xinhai period, the man followed his father into Shejitan Park, which was considered half of the establishment.
However, the park was donated by Tongrentang Lejia. There were not many fish, and they were all donated by prominent families.
The man talked about his difficult experience of catching small fish and insects, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In the old society, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the Forty-Nine Cities generally had goldfish tanks in their homes in order to beautify and decorate the courtyards of their mansions.
The popular jingle at that time was "ceiling, fish tank, pomegranate tree, sir, fat dog, fat girl", which was a portrayal of the lives of these people.
But Li Xuewu felt a little itchy when he heard that. Why do you think he is going to develop in this direction now?
The man smiled and said: "I have fed fish and changed the water in the transport team captain's cabin before."
"Oh? Really?"
Li Xuewu said in surprise: "See him?"
"Why haven't you met him? I've also met his wife~"
The man chuckled and said, "But he is from the south, and he speaks in a gibberish way. I can't understand him, so I answered him in a confused way, hahahaha~"
"Hahaha!"
Li Xuewu saw that this man was really interesting, so he also laughed.
The man propped up one leg and sat on his heel, squinting his eyes and said: "Li Zongren lived on Beichang Street when he was the director of operations in Sijiu City. I also took care of the fish in his mansion, including the then security guard Si Lingchen.
Inherit, Ma Zhanshan, Pu Jie and others."
Having said this, the man nodded his cigarette and said, "Chen Cheng is a good man. He gives our family forty kilograms of rice every month, and he also helped me get out of being arrested."
"This is a life-saving grace."
Li Xuewu smiled. Thinking of the war and chaos back then, he could hear the helplessness in the man's voice.
"No! If it weren't for him, I might be buried in a foreign land now."
The man nodded, glanced at the sky, and smiled sheepishly: "That's a bit far. Do you think this slot is suitable?"
"Yeah, it's suitable, but I don't know what it's like?"
Li Xuewu told Gu Ning that they were all just for fun. He didn't know anything about raising goldfish. He had been with this place back then and only left here when he had enough strength.
This stone trough is good, strong, and breathable, but if the bottom is not properly treated, it will scratch the fish scales, which will make the goldfish very uncomfortable and injure the fish's tail.
This is why I just told the man to have something that can grow moss. As long as there is moss, the fish will not be afraid of being hurt and can also be used as feed.
The man looked at Li Xuewu's clothes and asked, "Is it convenient? Give me your hand and I'll turn it over for you to take a look."
Seeing Li Xuewu's hesitation, the man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, I just want to reassure you."
Li Xuewu handed the handbag to Gu Ning behind him and explained with a smile: "I don't do the laundry myself at home, so I have to respect whoever does the work."
As he spoke, he walked to the other end of the stone trough and put his hand on the edge of the trough.
The man also smiled after hearing Li Xuewu's words. He just thought that Li Xuewu felt sorry for his wife, so he joined hands with Li Xuewu to turn the stone trough over.
When he opened it and looked at it, Li Xuewu knew why the man said that.
There are carvings on the outside of this stone trough, but it is very bright inside. Even when the sky is getting dark, and even if it has been left here for an unknown amount of time, you can still see the good craftsmanship inside.
"My second uncle used a grindstone to grind this piece by piece. He will still remember this groove until he dies."
The man smiled bitterly and said: "This was ordered by the sixth master, Zhang Dashuai's son back then. But when the fish tank was ready, he ran away. My second master's work was all in vain."
"Haha, I still made a mistake?"
Li Xuewu chuckled and looked at the front of the fish tank. It was different from the flowers on the side. The mouth of the tank was not thin, and there were many dragon fish carved on it, which is the allusion to the carp leaping over the dragon gate.
The most amazing thing is that there is a dragon head carved on one end of the tank, with an empty mouth.
The man tapped the dragon's mouth and said: "This was designed by my second uncle. It is now called a siphon. It can suck the water in the tank and then spit it out from the dragon's mouth."
Li Xuewu reached out and touched the bottom of the tank. It was indeed smooth and smooth, without any roughness at all.
The man only waited for Li Xuewu to finish the inspection before asking: "What do you think?"
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Please tell me the price."
When the man saw Li Xuewu asking for the price, he knew that he wanted it sincerely. He thought about it and said, "I'll get you all the goldfish and water lilies, and then send them to your home. I'll charge you one hundred and twenty yuan. You see."
how?"
"Well, the price is not expensive."
Li Xuewu nodded, glanced at Gu Ning, who was frowning slightly, then turned to look at the man and said, "I won't bargain, but you have to do me a favor."
As he spoke, he pointed at the fish tank and said with a smile: "Excuse me, please teach us how to raise fish, how to change the water, and come regularly to help take care of it."
"This... to tell you the truth, I also have a serious job."
The man smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I don't have that much time and energy."
Seeing Li Xuewu's expression that he really wanted it, the man hesitated again and said: "Okay, my second master's wish has been fulfilled. I will teach you how to go once a month."
"Then it's settled"
Li Xuewu smiled and took the handbag from Gu Ning, directly ordered twelve large tickets and handed them over.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The man was also stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said: "No, no, I haven't sent it over yet, where can I collect money, no!"
After saying that, he pushed Li Xuewu's hand and said: "Today is inconvenient. My brother is not at home either. Wait until tomorrow. We will send you home tomorrow night. You can give it to me then."
When Li Xuewu saw what the man said sincerely, he took back his hand, took out his notebook, wrote the address and handed it over.
"There is always someone at home, and I will prepare the money, unlike that young marshal who just ran away."
As he spoke, he teased the man and said: "But I will keep this fish tank. When I have a chance in the future, I will tell the young marshal when I see him."
"Hahaha!"
The man only thought that Li Xuewu's words were humorous, so he took the address and sent Li Xuewu and the two out of the house.
Gu Ning also glanced at the child at the door who was looking at the fish stall boredly, and then followed Li Xuewu back.
The insect seller over there was about to close his stall, and there was nothing to see anymore. Li Xuewu took Gu Ning and walked in the same direction.
Going back was easy. I just paid the price of the flower I had just chosen, and after a few words of discussion, the store sent it to the car.
A quick decision, Li Xuewu was not a bad bargainer, and he spoke nicely, which made the store happy.
Just when passing by the stall of the old bird seller, Li Xuewu found that the courtyard door was closed early. He was afraid that he might be thinking of something wrong or that someone might call the door.
When Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu walked to the car, there were already many potted flowers on the ground. Although no one was looking at them, none of them was lost.
Li Xuewu opened the trunk lid of the car, lifted up the seats behind him, and loaded pots of flowers into the car.
Fortunately, the truck bed is spacious, otherwise it would not be able to fit it in, so there would be two extra pots piled on top and fixed with ropes.
Gu Ning looked at the full bucket in the back and said regretfully: "There are too many. I should have known better not to buy these."
She said this now, and when Li Xuewu asked her if she liked this or that, she nodded.
Okay, Li Xuewu knew that he couldn't argue with his wife at this time, so he motioned to the moon that had come out and said: "Let's go home quickly, Li Shu may be so hungry that she will rebel."
Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Gu Ning had no choice but to get in the car. However, smelling the fragrance of flowers coming from behind the car, Gu Ning still felt very comfortable.
Isn't that uncomfortable? Counting the money for the fish tank and goldfish, Li Xuewu's salary for one unit was gone.
On the way, the two of them also chatted about their childhood. Gu Ning seemed to be particularly interested in Li Xuewu's naughty things when he was a child. Sometimes he would take the initiative to ask when Li Xuewu stopped talking.
It wasn't until the jeep drove into the courtyard that Gu Ning stopped asking, and Li Xuewu also told about one percent of the bastard things he did when he was a child.
"Why did you buy so many flowers?"
The old lady and Qin Jingru came out to welcome them, but were shocked by the number of flower pots behind the jeep.
The old lady didn't say anything, but Qin Jingru was surprised and made a sound.
If nothing else, these flowers look lovely, but who will serve them, and it has to be her?
She glanced at the joking couple over there with some resentment. Qin Jingru only felt that she had too much free time and was an eyesore to these two couples.
After Li Xuewu took the lead, several people reached out to help, and then the truck was unloaded.
When Li Xuewu entered the courtyard, he also took a look at the garage over there and saw that it was already capped. It would only take three or four days to fill it up, so there would be room for the car in the future.
Gu Ning didn't need Qin Jingru's help, and let her go to the kitchen. She held a pot of flowers and worked tirelessly like a little bee to find a place to put the flower pots.
On both sides of the fireplace, next to the piano, next to the phone, on the sofa, on the windowsill...
After finishing the ones downstairs, I moved on to the ones upstairs, next to the stairs, in the small living room, study room, master bedroom, guest bedroom...
When Li Xuewu entered the house, he wanted to help, but Gu Ning refused, leaving Li Xuewu and his daughter staring at each other.
Li Shu was very happy when she saw these flowerpots coming in. She thought her father had bought new toys for them.
But looking at his current posture, these toys are not his, but those of that woman.
Li Shu is very smart now. She knows what Gu Ning cares about, and she will never touch it.
But Li Xuewu didn't care anymore. He kept babbling with big eyes and complained about why Li Xuewu came back so late and didn't buy her any toys.
Li Xuewu just showed a helpless smile and went upstairs to take a shower.
When he came out of the shower, he found that the room had changed. He walked out of the small living room, looked at the study, and looked at the stairs on the second floor. He felt that the cold house had the breath of life.
This money is really well spent. In the past, he felt that his office was comfortable, and it would be extremely comfortable to have his house tidied up and put on flowers and plants.
When I came downstairs again, I saw Gu Ning standing in front of the flower pot on the window sill, taking a look at her, so I walked over and took a look.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Oh~"
Seeing that Li Xuewu was coming, Gu Ning reacted, pointed to the flowerpot and asked Li Xuewu: "Isn't it inappropriate to place tulips here?"
"No, I think it's quite suitable."
Li Xuewu put his arm around Gu Ning's shoulders and coaxed her, asking, "Did your first impression just now mean that you wanted to put her here?"
Gu Ning frowned and thought for a moment. There were too many flowers just now, and she couldn't remember what she felt.
However, Li Xuewu was afraid that she would mess with her again, so he carried her to the restaurant and said as he walked: "The first impression is the most appropriate. There is no problem if you put it there."
Gu Ning followed Li Xuewu, thinking about things, and entered the restaurant. But when he came in, he saw Qin Jingru serving tea on the table, and then she frowned and turned around and walked back.
Li Xuewu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw Gu Ning carrying the pot of tulips back into the restaurant and placing them on the coffee table in front of the sofa in the restaurant.
Women are all the same. When asking for your opinion, they don’t want to hear what you have to say. They just want to give them a little time to think.
Until she went to bed, Gu Ning still looked at the flowers placed by the bed from time to time.
Money can't buy a good thing, and since Gu Ning likes it, Li Xuewu feels that the money is not in vain, and the whole night is not in vain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Ning has a simple mind and limited things she likes. She does not like to go out and play like other people. She loves to go out for a walk. She only Just sit in your room and read a book.
Buying flowers and goldfish is just for her to have fun and not be too boring.
If it wasn't because Li Shu was still young, or if it wasn't because he wanted to have a child with Gu Ning, he would have raised a kitten or puppy.
But I can't think about it now. With Li Shu's personality, even raising a tiger will be played to death, so after thinking about it, I might as well forget it.
Later, Li Xuewu spent a while in the security brigade in the morning, chatted with the 816 people, and sorted out the equipment issues in the cannery.
He also told Lao Biaozi about the situation in the First Prison, and specifically told Lao Biaozi to control the shipment of books, comic books and other items, and not to embarrass Director Ma of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
After all this work was done, Li Xuewu and Shen Fang visited the key enterprises in Dongcheng.
It can be regarded as a safety inspection or a safety supervision. It gave Shen Fang the face of strong support from these companies when he organized night patrols a few days ago.
We ate at the chemical factory for lunch. The cook's skills were average, but the ingredients were good. They said they were pigs raised in the factory.
Li Xuewu was not greedy for this stuff. The food eaten by the cadres on the table was quite delicious. He felt like he was being used.
Did these people take advantage of the opportunity of hosting him to indulge in sexual intercourse?
After visiting several more stores in the afternoon, Li Xuewu and Shen Fang separated and went directly to the steel rolling mill.
The steel rolling mill seemed to have returned to the calm before the storm, as if yesterday's meeting had not been held.
But the rumors inside the agency are reminding everyone in the steel rolling mill agency that the crisis is not over yet.
Xu Sinian didn't block him yesterday, but he was waiting for him early today.
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the office, Xu Sinian followed him, waved his hand and declined Sha Qi's offer of tea, and only chatted with Li Xuewu for a short while before leaving again.
When Sha Qizhi entered the director's office again, he found the director standing by the window looking downstairs.
I don't know what happened, but looking at the director's back, I felt a little sad.
Perhaps it was an illusion, Sha Qizhi put down the documents in his hand, reminding Li Xuewu that he was about to start working.
Li Xuewu only hesitated for a while, and then turned around and got busy with Sha Qizhi's help.
It's quiet, but it's not quiet at all. The preparatory office that Jing Yunong is responsible for has started work.
In the afternoon, many leaders from Liangmahe Factory came to visit the rolling mill, mainly visiting the factories in the branch area of the rolling mill.
These factories can be regarded as representative of small and medium-sized factories, and the products they produce are supporting products needed by the steel rolling mill itself.
If the steel rolling mill needs it, then other factories also need it. They also produce and purchase it.
However, according to the introduction of the receptionist, if we cooperate in production, we can not only increase production capacity and become self-sufficient, but also exchange other needed materials with other factories.
Those who can come today show that they are all sincere. Whether they are looking for a bargain or extorting money, they have kept their eyes bright and bright.
The giant whale of the steel rolling mill has finally found a generous leader, why don't you take a bite?
