Mr. Du warned his grandson again worriedly, and then rushed out of Li Hui a certain distance away, saying:
"Daddy Tiedan, I'll leave Pingren to you, help take care of it."
Li Hui turned back, pulled Du Pingren and nodded:
"Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of him. Let Tiedan and Brother Xin accompany you tonight. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. Don't let Pingren worry."
Mr. Du knew that he said this on purpose, so he nodded hurriedly and said:
"Okay, okay, I will definitely ask Tiedan and the others to come home and stay with me. Pingren, don't worry about grandpa. With your aunt, Tiedan and the others, grandpa will be fine."
Seeing that his grandfather was so obedient, Du Pingren finally smiled. Cheng Xue held up his hands, bowed deeply, and went in with Li Hui, Wang Sen and the others.
As soon as I walked away, I looked back three times, just not trusting my grandpa. The grandfather and grandson have been dependent on each other for so many years, and they have been separated many times this year. Although the separation time is not long, it is really difficult to accept for the grandfather and grandson who have been with each other all year round. p>
The gate of Gongyuan was closed for a quarter of an hour, but the people taking exams at the door did not disperse.
Xiao Qinglin walked to Cheng Xue and reminded in a low voice:
"Sister-in-law, let's go back and pick up my brother tomorrow at noon."
Cheng Xue pursed her lips tightly and asked softly with worry:
"Is it safe inside? Will there be any accidents? What if someone doesn't answer well and thinks of dying together..."
"Oh, my dear sister-in-law, you really dare to think about it. There are government officials everywhere, and they don't have much to bring in, so no one would dare to mess around."
Xiao Qinglin knew that they had a good relationship as a couple, but as soon as he entered, he started to think wildly. How deep is the relationship? I really hope that when he gets married in the future, he can meet a wife who treats each other wholeheartedly, and then he will be like Li Hui.
Fate is obedience.
Not far away, Mrs. Lian came over with a food box, looked slightly blessed and said:
"Sister-in-law, thank you for saving my husband today. I was too busy and forgot to pay the medical fee..."
Before she could finish her words, Cheng Xue quickly shook her head and interrupted——
"We won't be able to deal with you if you continue like this. It's just a small effort, so what's the medical fee? Seriously, how is he now?"
"Much better." Ms. Lian nodded with a smile and handed the food box over, "Sister-in-law, don't dislike it, these are some snacks I made myself. My parents' family is in Jiangnan, and the snacks are sweeter, so the children should like them." p>
"I like it. My five greedy cats all like to eat sweets. Thank you, sister." Cheng Xue was not polite anymore and reached out to take the food box.
Bai Rui drove away Wang's father and Wang Sen's wife, while Xiao Qinglin sent her and Mr. Du away.
It's really close to home, and it didn't take long to get there.
"Uncle, please stay at home tonight while Tiedan and Brother Xin go to sleep."
"Oh no, that's just a stopgap measure." Mr. Du shook his head hastily.
It’s already a lot of trouble for me, how can I be so ignorant.
Cheng Xue didn't say anything. Anyway, you won't let me. You won't be able to drive the children out when the time comes.
Since Li Hui was not at home, Xiao Qinglin did not enter the house. After watching her enter the hospital, he said:
"Sister-in-law, hang up all the doors tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow morning."
"Then let's have lunch here. The meat and fish that Uncle Wang sent us will be cooked at noon tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Qinglin agreed.
After she hung up the courtyard door, he felt relieved and left.
Not far away, I saw the guards beside my second uncle, and I couldn't help but stand there and wait.
"Sir, the second master asked me to tell you that the forest farm needs to reduce the number of people. Let you go back as soon as possible."
Streamline people?
Why do we need to downsize our staff?
Knowing that he didn't know much, he hurried to his second uncle's house.
After passing through three alleys and looking at the majestic courtyard gate, he took a deep breath.
God knows what happened to him!
Obviously the second uncle's family is a serious relative, but he just likes to go to Li Hui's place, eat some home-cooked food, and amuse the little kid.
The housekeeper had already been waiting at the door. When he saw him coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Uncle, the second master is waiting for you in the study."
"Got it."
In the study, Xiao Feng was sitting in front of the desk drinking tea, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Second uncle."
"Back."
"Yes." Xiao Qinglin stepped forward, "What's going on at the forest farm? Why do we need to reduce the number of people?"
Xiao Feng rubbed his swollen temples and said:
"The war in South Vietnam is tense. Although Marquis Xuanping won the battle, our army suffered heavy losses and needs to continue to expand its troops. Reinforcements are needed in forest farms and mines in various places. This is an order issued by the imperial court."
"The forest farm over there in Shushan Town..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Feng pushed the roster to him, knocked twice and said:
"You are the general manager over there, and you know best how they work in the forest farm. Mark out what you think should be kept, and remove the ones that don't work well as soon as possible."
"Huh——" Xiao Qinglin breathed a long sigh of relief and kept nodding.
Looking at the familiar names on the roster, the three Dong brothers stayed, then Guo Dake, then Yu Zhao, Li Qingshan, Li Qingdong... He tried his best to keep people who had a good relationship with Li Hui.
Xiao Feng looked at the circled names and rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Then what kind of ecstasy did Li Hui give you? Look at these pictures, they all have something to do with him."
Although Xiao Feng doesn't go to the forest farm often, he knows everything there well.
Xiao Qinglin did not deny it. After drawing the people he wanted to keep, he said:
"Second uncle, it's okay. Whoever wants to keep the rest is free, I have no objection."
"Xiao Wa'er, tell me the truth. What kind of treasure does the Li Hui family have that is worthy of your sacrifice? Even if I save your life, the money and things you gave me will be enough to repay it."
Hearing his nickname being called, Xiao Qinglin walked around the desk and raised his hand to rub his shoulders.
"Second uncle, I think my brother and sister-in-law are both treasures. Even if you have never met them, as long as you have contact with them, you will know how good they are. In fact, his cooking is not as exquisite as our cooks, but I just like to eat.
I don’t know why either.”
Xiao Feng loves this nephew very much, not only because he has no son, but also because he can still remain pure under such a big dyeing vat in the capital, which is really rare.
"Okay, you don't have to go out of your way to introduce him. As long as he can win in Qiuwei, I will meet him."
"Can't we be a student?"
Xiao Feng stood up suddenly. Xiao Qinglin instinctively took two steps back and looked at his uncle earnestly. Then, he heard the words——
"Can't!"
"But..."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seen him even after his death. Survivor, you are so embarrassed to say that. Go take a look at your second aunt, she misses you. Come back and stay for a while when you have time. Don't go there.
People, run to their villages."
He gets angry when he mentions this. Is this still his nephew?
Xiao Feng sat down again speechlessly, took out the unprocessed official documents, and stopped talking to him.
"Second uncle, I'm leaving."
"Go see your second aunt!"
"I know." Xiao Qinglin curled his lips, bowed his hands, and left the study...
