Chapter 363

The advantage of living close to my parents' home is that it is convenient to go back and forth.

At this moment, the moon has risen high, and the unique cold wind in early spring is blowing the gradually faded Spring Festival couplets on the door frame.

Maybe it's windy tonight, and the moonlight is sometimes covered by dark clouds. When Li Xuewu walked back, it was dark in the yard.

The yellowish lights of the houses in the courtyard reflected the figures and fell on the windows.

From the window, Qin Huairu saw a tall figure coming in from the front yard and walking towards the back yard.

You don't need to look at your face, you can tell from the way you walk that it is Li Xuewu who is back.

"Eat well, go to bed after eating"

After instructing the three children who were eating, Qin Huairu said to her mother-in-law again: "Li Xuewu should be back, I'll go there."

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "It's too late now."

"Tell me something, I'll be right back"

Seeing that his mother was going to the backyard, Sticky raised his face and said, "Mom, I'm going too. I want to watch TV!"

Xiao Dang hasn't seen the TV that his brother mentioned last time, and wants to go too.

Sophora japonica is more straightforward, she wants whatever her brothers and sisters want.

Qin Huairu stood up, went to the door, put on her coat, turned around and said, "Your Uncle Wu has been tired all day today, so Mom will just say something when I get there, and I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, he opened the door and went out.

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu's back, and said to the three of them, "Dinner, what's so good about the TV, grandma will put the box in a while."

Stick pouted and said: "Then there are people on the TV, and there are people in the box?"

"How not?"

Jia Zhang said, "What does anyone say?"

Sticking his head sullenly, he said, "Oh, I can't explain to you."

Of course Jia Zhang understands, but Qin Huairu won't let her go, what dare she say?
Because of Qin Huairu's progress, the form of this family has undergone fundamental changes.

A few days ago, I heard that Qin Huairu had improved again, Jia Zhang was flattered and laughed for two days.

After thinking about it these days, the taste is coming, and this improvement is not necessarily a good thing.

Because of Qin Huairu's progress, someone started to inquire about the situation of Jia's family.

Yesterday when Mrs. Jia Zhang was on duty at the concierge, she saw someone in the street asking the gate of the compound about Qin Huairu's children and mother-in-law.

What does it mean?
Based on Jia Zhang's many years of experience as a mother-in-law, isn't this just to introduce someone to Qin Huairu?

This time, Jia Zhang was terrified. With Qin Huairu's current status and conditions, she couldn't find anything.

Even if you bring your mother-in-law and children with you, according to Qin Huairu's waist and face with pinches and pockets, you still don't rush to ask for it.

If it had been before, the Jia Zhang family would have started making troubles long ago, Qin Huairu had to do something about it.

But now she doesn't dare, if she doesn't become a monster, she will be introduced to her. If she is a monster, then there is no more reason.

So for the past two days, Mrs. Jia and Zhang have done all the work at home, just to see Qin Huairu's face.

Seeing Qin Huairu now, she said that she wished Qin Huairu could go to the backyard instead of coming back.

She thought it over, Li Xuewu has such a standard partner, how could he want Qin Huairu, that's just a good thing.

When Qin Huairu and Li Xuewu were together, they would not look for them again, nor would they leave their wives behind.

What a shrewd person Jia Zhang is, she thinks she is the smartest in this alley, no one dares to compete with her!

So now she was thinking, instead of worrying about it, she might as well support Qin Huairu to find Li Xuewu.

Qin Huairu has already noticed these things, thinking of the words that the neighbors he met in the past few days said overtly and secretly, and looking at her mother-in-law's performance in the past two days.

Although she didn't intend to look for it again, she was also happy to pretend that she didn't know.

"tired?"

When Qin Huairu entered the room, he saw Li Xuewu lying on the sofa with his clothes thrown all over the floor.

"Well, I didn't rest when I came back in the afternoon."

Seeing Qin Huairu picking up the clothes on the ground, Li Xuewu reminded: "It's dirty, it's all dirt, I threw it there on purpose."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Qin Huairu still picked up the clothes, and said while walking to the bathroom: "If it's dirty, just soak it in water. Put it here and it will become clean by itself?"

After saying something to Li Xuewu, Qin Huairu found a big basin from the bathroom and took out his clothes.

Putting the money, tickets, and small book aside, I took hot water from the hot water tap and sprinkled washing powder on it.

"I still have something in my pocket, throw it around"

Qin Huairu came back and put the things on the tea cabinet on the back wall of the entrance.

"The clothes are soaked, it means that Li has come and asked her to wash them out"

While speaking, he walked to the side of the long sofa, squeezed Li Xuewu's waist and sat down.

Seeing Li Xuewu lying on the armrest with his eyes closed, he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xuewu's arm over his own leg, holding Li Xuewu's arm.

"You were so busy when you came back?"

Li Xuewu didn't fall asleep, and kept listening to Qin Huairu walking up and down the room talking.

Feeling Qin Huairu pinching his arms and shoulders at this moment, he opened his eyes.

"No busy, nothing to do"

Looking at Qin Huairu's chubby face, Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "How is the food recently? Let me see if you are fat or not?"

As he spoke, he stretched his hand under the clothes.

"Don't make trouble!"

Qin Huairu slapped Li Xuewu angrily, and said: "Seeing that you are tired, I pity you, why are you playing bad?"

Although he said it, his hand didn't stop Li Xuewu, allowing Li Xuewu's big hand to do something wrong.

"Fat"

"It's not"

Qin Huairu looked down at Li Xuewu and said, "I only eat in the small cafeteria, so I can't get fat."

While speaking, he lowered his head to Li Xuewu's face, looked carefully for a while and said: "You have lost weight."

"You can pull it down~"

Li Xuewu pulled his hand out, put his arm casually on Qin Huairu's leg and patted it, and said with a smile: "Every day, if you are full and play, eat when you are tired from playing, and sleep when you are tired from eating, can you still lose weight?"

"Your training is just for fun?"

Qin Huairu glared at Li Xuewu angrily, then reached out to help Li Xuewu pinch his right shoulder.

Seeing Qin Huairu who was about to hit someone with the ball, Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "For me, it's just for fun."

"Bragging you!"

I was a little moved by being rubbed just now, but I also knew that it was not suitable for this moment, and I was afraid that this bad guy would play bad tricks and I would not be able to stop him, so I stopped teasing Li Xuewu.

He sat up straight, helped Li Xuewu pinch his fingers, and asked, "Are you going to work tomorrow?"

"what?"

Li Xuewu opened his eyes, then narrowed them again, the light above his head was a bit dazzling.

"If you don't rest at home on Sunday, why go to work?"

"When you get to work, you will be busy!"

Knowing that Li Xuewu had a good idea in his heart, Qin Huai smiled and said angrily, and didn't say any more.

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "There is still a leader in this job? When will I go and when will I be busy."

After saying this, he asked Qin Huairu again, "How about you? Are you busy?"

"Busy!"

Qin Huairu shook Li Xuewu's big hand, feeling very at ease in her heart.

"As soon as director Xu left, the burden was all on my shoulders, and it took me a long time to sort it out."

While talking, he glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "Thanks to Songying's help."

Mentioning Zhang Songying, Li Xuewu glared at Qin Huairu, and asked, "You're playing with me, Mingxiu plank road, secretly hiding Chencang, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Qin Huairu covered her mouth and smiled, "Do you still remember?"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was not angry, he bent down and whispered in Li Xuewu's ear, "I still miss you even now."

"I'm looking for a fight, right?"

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and slapped Qin Huairu's sideways buttocks.

"ah!"

Qin Huairu pinched Li Xuewu angrily, and said, "You are really working hard!"

"If you don't hurt, you won't have a long memory"

Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Qin Huairu stared and smiled and said: "Aren't you quite courageous, look at you, you are not as courageous as Li Huaide, you dare to let that one go upstairs in broad daylight."

While talking, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Tell me, a deputy factory director, at noon, what kind of work can you talk to the head of the catering section of the guest house?"

Li Xuewu smiled indifferently, and said, "Maybe it's about eating seafood."

"What?"

Qin Huairu didn't understand what Li Xuewu meant, but seeing Li Xuewu's appearance, he knew he was playing bad.

Li Xuewu patted Qin Huairu and asked her to help him stand up.

"what happened?"

"Get you something"

As he spoke, he walked into the back room and walked out with a bag.

"Take home brewed and cooked to eat"

"What is this?"

"Seafood"

Seeing that Li Xuewu handed him the bag and sat down to the single seat, Qin Huairu opened the bag on the coffee table.

Shrimp, shrimp, and small yellow flowers. When I saw dried abalone, I remembered the stalk Li Xuewu just said.

"Where did you get so many seafood?"

Qin Huairu understood the meaning in his heart, but he didn't say it again, but asked, "Is there a seafood market over there for training?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I bought some, not very tasty, just looking for something new."

He said something casually, and then reminded: "Pay attention to the influence."

Although the ones given to Qin Huairu are just a few common ones, they are also guarded against gluttons.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Well, thank you."

Li Xuewu smiled indifferently, and asked, "Has the appointment been announced?"

"Um"

He was looking at the dried yellow croaker with its head removed, and when he heard Li Xuewu's words, he packed up the bag in his hand and put it on the side of the coffee table.

Then leaning on the back of the sofa, she replied: "The results announced a few days ago, Zhang Songying was so excited that she cried, and said thank you."

Li Xuewu ignored Qin Huairu's words, nodded his head and said, "Stay away from Liu Lan, don't provoke her, she will take care of the catering, and don't let her interfere in anything else."

"understood"

Li Xuewu looked at Qin Huairu and reminded him again: "Remember, gossip can be spread from the outside, but you can't get a single word from inside. The guest house is not a place to spread gossip."

"Um"

Seeing that Li Xuewu had instructed him twice, Qin Huairu also knew what was going on, and asked Li Xuewu, "Do you have any arrangements for the guest house?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Qin Huairu, and said, "Be a good manager of your hostel, and don't meddle in the affairs of the factory."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Xuewu's seriousness, and asked hesitantly, "Yes...is there something wrong?"

"It's all right"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and shook his head and said: "Whenever you put together the iron buckets operated by the guest house, it's time for you to sit still. When you encounter things, think more, ask more, and pay more attention. I have a big problem with the guest house." use".

"Oh!"

I don't know what Li Xuewu used the guest house in the factory for, but Li Xuewu said it was of great use and made her cautious.

"The investigation team has been withdrawn from the guest house, and the person seems to have been taken away by the city bureau. I looked at the car I got on, and it has resumed business now."

Speaking of the guest house, Qin Huairu gave a brief introduction.

"Because the environment is better, more people come to live here. Seeing that the stadium has also been cleaned up, many people are looking forward to it."

Li Xuewu nodded and asked, "Has Master Dou, the green plant around the Tuanjie Lake, started making it?"

"Half done"

Qin Huairu nodded and said: "The ground has been repaired, the corridor has been paved, and the irrigation pipes are being laid in the place where trees and grass are to be planted. It is said that the tree planting will start in the middle of next month, and it will be June and July when everything is cleaned up." .

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded, and said: "Master Dou, you also know him, take care of what you can, but don't exchange money, let the accounting department talk to Master Dou about this kind of thing."

"Okay, got it"

Just as Qin Huairu agreed, she heard movement at the door, and looked up to see that it was Yu Li who opened the door and walked in.

"Busy working?"

"Um"

Yu Li went into the room to look at Li Xuewu, and seeing Qin Huairu sitting there, she nodded and said, "There are so many people today, I have all reached out to help, just now I wasted a while mending clothes with Yushui and Xiao Yan'er. ".

Li Xuewu turned his head and asked, "Have you all gone back?"

Knowing that Li Xuewu was asking about Xiao Yan'er, Yu Li nodded and said, "Little Yan'er was sent back by Guodong, and third uncle returned by himself."

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Xuewu: "Go to the house and change your clothes, and I will wash them for you."

"it is good"

Li Xuewu stood up with his hands on the handrail and walked towards the back room, Qin Huairu also stood up.

"You're busy, I'm going back"

Yu Li glanced at the things Qin Huairu was carrying, then walked to the bathroom, and said as she walked, "Stay a little longer, isn't it idle when you go home?"

"Where to be free"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "What about the three children, that's right!".

Seeing Yu Li entered the bathroom, Qin Huairu added: "The clothes he was wearing in the afternoon were dirty, I soaked them in washing powder."

"Understood, I will wash it out for him in a while."

Yu Li agreed, turned on the water valve of the bathtub, went out to the back room, and prepared to pack the luggage that Li Xuewu brought back.

Qin Huairu glanced at Yu Li who was walking towards the back room, curled her lips and went out.

When she got to the window of the back room, she saw that the curtains in the back room were closed by Yu Li, and she couldn't help muttering: "Now I don't hide people behind my back, why do you think that way?"

And Yu Li, who was standing in the back room packing the luggage brought back by Li Xuewu, also murmured: "I know I don't know whether to wash it after soaking, so I know that sitting here is positive for taking things."

Li Xuewu looked at the pajamas in his hand, thinking about the dirt on his body, he put the pajamas aside and walked directly to the bathroom.

Seeing Li Xuewu's appearance, Yu Li laughed and said, "The door isn't even opened, what's wrong with people seeing it?"

Li Xuewu said indifferently: "It's already this time, who will come?"

As he was talking, he seemed to think of something, turned around with a smile and said, "This is the only way you two walked in without shouting."

"go"

Yu Li scolded, and said: "Hurry up and take a bath, don't freeze."

When Li Xuewu entered the bathtub, Yu Li took the clothes and a small bench, and sat by the bathroom to wash Li Xuewu's clothes while talking.

"I heard that Qin Huairu is the director of the guest house?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu responded with his eyes closed, and then asked: "Did the people in the courtyard say it?"

"Yes"

Yu Li rubbed Li Xuewu's uniform with a washboard, and said, "There are also people talking about you, saying that you have become the deputy director of the security department."

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded to show that he understood, and did not continue to talk about it, but said: "This week, I asked Master Dou to come over to look at the venue, and the spring will begin soon."

"it is good"

"Don't just promise, you should also think about how to build this house, and ask Xuecai to bring his partner back tomorrow and talk about the house."

Yu Li said without raising her head: "The house is just like that, what else can I do?"

Now she didn't think much about the house. Once Yan Xiecheng left, the house became an obsession of hers.

After the house is built, she lives alone, so it's not a place to shelter from wind and rain.

Li Xuewu knew what Yu Li was thinking, so he said: "Tomorrow, let's see what Xuecai and the others think. If it doesn't work, the two of you will build the same one."

"It's all right, you figure it out"

As he spoke, he looked up at Li Xuewu and said, "Didn't you say that you took care of it? Anyway, I have no money."

"Crap!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I don't know if the house is built and you won't give me money?"

Hearing Li Xuewu joking, Yu Li also laughed.

"Look at how stingy you are, those who don't know think you are a rich man!"

"Hehehe"

The two talked and laughed for a while, after Yu Li finished washing her clothes, Li Xuewu also came out of the bathtub.

He took the bath towel and wiped it off, then went back to the back room.

After changing her pajamas, Yu Li came in with a cup of warm water and put it on the cabinet.

"The clothes are hanging in the living room, get up at night and pay attention to the water on the ground"

After exhorting Li Xuewu, he spread the quilt for Li Xuewu again.

After taking a sip of water and checking the time, Li Xuewu tuned the little monster, took out the manuscript he had read from his bag, walked to the desk and sat down.

"click"

Seeing Li Xuewu turn on the desk lamp, Yu Li asked softly, "Do you still have to work?"

"Well, I have some manuscripts to take a look at."

Li Xuewu replied, because Yu Li found the inner and outer clothes for tomorrow morning from the cloakroom and put them beside the kang.

"The training environment is not good? Why are you still reading when you come back?"

Hearing Yu Li stepping on her slippers "clicking" in the house, Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's pretty good, but there are too many people and I didn't look carefully."

Yu Li walked to the side of the little monster and lowered her voice.

"Reading and listening to this?"

"It's all right"

Li Xuewu looked back and said: "I'm used to it, a little voice will make my brain more active."

Watching Li Xuewu take a pencil from the drawer to read, Yu Li refilled the water glass and put it on the desk.

He leaned over to look at the books Li Xuewu was reading, and saw that they were all handwritten.

There are Li Xuewu's flowing and flowing characters, and there are also beautiful small characters for notes.

She didn't quite understand the things here, so she walked behind Li Xuewu and pinched Li Xuewu's shoulder with her hand.

"It's been a long day, let's go to bed early"

Li Xuewu sensed Yu Li behind him, so he persuaded her.

"it is good"

Although Yu Li agreed, she held on for more than ten minutes before tidying up and leaving the house.

When I returned to the upper house, I saw that the rain had covered the quilt.

"Finished?"

"Yes"

Yu Li nodded, and said with a smile: "I don't know what I did this afternoon. I made it like a gray monkey and washed it out by force."

He Yushui also saw Li Xuewu's clothes in the afternoon, and while wiping his face with colorful colors, he said, "I'll wash it when I'm free tomorrow."

Yu Li washed her hands in the washbasin at the door, took a pot of cold water and set it on the stove.

"It's a uniform. I can't tell when it will be used. How dare I delay it?"

"You are so caring"

Wearing a sweater, He Yushui walked to the door and fastened it, and said as he walked to the bed, "Not to mention the three meals in the house, the stove in the backyard, and his clothes, have to be watched by the shop."

Yu Li smiled and said: "It would be nice to have a job that earns money. For someone like me, where can I find a job at the door of this house?"

He Yushui and Li got into bed, looked at Yu Li who was sitting on the bed waiting for the hot water in the pot, and asked, "How much does he pay you a month?"

Living with Yushui for such a long time, Yu Li also knew that she was a neat girl who didn't care much.

"The upside-down house and the recycling store are the same job, and he will return a copy with the backyard"

He Yushui was rather curious about this, put his arms around Yu Li's waist and asked, "How much is that?"

"Why are you so curious?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "Why, you want to do it too?"

"Ask me?"

He Yushui lay down on the pillow with a smile, and said, "I'm so busy working back and forth, I can't do it if I don't give you less."

Yu Li smiled and tucked the quilt for He Yushui, and explained: "How much work can there be, say three meals, but don't you also do it at home, besides, your brother still cooks dinner."

Seeing that the kettle on the stove was steaming, Yu Li got out of bed, went to the cabinet, took a thermos bottle and put it beside the stove.

"It's work to stew those pigs at noon, and I just talk about it in the recycling store. Knowing that I have a lot of things in the morning, Xiao Yan'er will help me clean up first when I come in the morning."

He Yushui gestured to the backyard with his eyes and asked, "What about the backyard?"

"How much work can there be in the backyard"

Seeing that the water was boiling, Yu Li took the kettle, removed the wooden stopper of the thermos bottle, and continued to boil water in it.

This is the hot water for the two of them to wash in the morning. Yu Li doesn't come back from work during the day, and He Yushui also leaves in the morning and comes back at night.

So the stove is not turned on in the morning, but the room is very clean.

Shazhu basically eats in the inverted room, so all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in this room are put away, or taken to the inverted room.

After the thermos bottle was put away, Yu Li pressed another shovelful of coal into the stove.

"Sometimes he doesn't stay at home, he's busy here and there, isn't that right, he just came back from the Northeast, and went to Jinmen again, and he hasn't had a job for a month."

Walking to the bed, getting into the quilt and lying down, I stretched out my hand to pull the light cord, and the room instantly became dark.

Only the moonlight outside the window shone on the curtains, and a faint light came in.

Another thing is that in the stove at the door of the house, the coal fire is hard, and the hearth is red hot.

"Sister Yu"

He Yushui looked at the outline of Yu Li's face in the dark. Since Yu Li said about the divorce last time, she changed her name from sister-in-law to Sister Yu.

She felt that she might be the only person in the courtyard who knew about Yu Li's divorce.

So at this moment, he looked like he was in the same boat, and asked, "Aren't you going to look for it again?"

"Looking for what?"

Yu Li smiled and said: "Find another one to piss me off, it's better to have too many people alone."

He Yushui pursed his lips, but still persuaded, "You are so young, how can you live alone?"

"I can't find it anymore"

Yu Li lay on the pillow, looked at the void and said, "I'm different from you, married women are so easy to find."

"Good-tempered, capable, and in good health, can you fancy me?"

"What about married women?"

He Yushui said: "You still have your own job and your own house, isn't that the one who picks you up?"

While talking, he raised his head to look at Yu Li's face and said, "Besides, you are so young and beautiful, why can't you find someone you like?"

"Hahaha"

Hearing that He Yushui said that she was beautiful, Yu Li smiled and said: "You should treat the man you care about as a soybean, so fight back."

I laughed a little, then sighed and said: "How many divorced women have separated peacefully, and they are all in the same place. They all have resentment in their hearts, and they are all competing with each other."

Stretching out his hand to touch the rainwater, he stretched out his hand and said, "Don't look at what I'm saying now, but if you get married again, you will be confused. You always want to compare with the past, you will always ask too much, and you can't trust men anymore. , Alas~".

Finally, he sighed and said, "It's better to live like this than to make myself suffer, how comfortable I am, earn money and spend it myself, who can say what it is."

After hearing Yu Li's words, He Yushui didn't speak for a long time, and finally said with some sobs: "I can understand you, sister".

Feeling He Yushui's emotional changes, Yu Li turned around and touched Yushui's face, her hands were already wet.

"What's wrong? Didn't I say that you are different from me?"

"what's the difference"

He Yushui sniffled and said, "Although the people in the unit don't say it to my face, I still know what's behind it."

Yu Li wiped He Yushui's tears and comforted him: "Don't talk to them about their nonsense."

In fact, Yu Li knew what those people were talking about without He Yushui's words.

Not only He Yushui's work unit, but the neighbors in this neighborhood also talk about their wives. Yu Li met a few times who talked about He Yushui.

I don't know who started it, saying that the ancestors of the He family had no virtue, and He Daqing was not a man, leaving behind these two children.

Yushui grew up like a wild child, so it was hard to find her husband's house.

When they met Jing Yongjie again, they were engaged, and they were about to hold a wedding certificate, and the reputation of being a widow was spread.

Although it is a new society at this time, the old people are still there.

If this person is still there, the old thoughts, old visions, and old customs cannot be eliminated.

Just like what Yu Li said, for a divorced woman, the first thing people think of is whether Yu Li can't have children?Did you make a mistake?Is it bad conduct?

Anyway, the first thing that comes to mind is always the woman's mistake.

No matter what the reason is, when you want to look again, you can only look for someone who is older, in poor health, or a second-married man.

Conditions can't be extravagant, and if the conditions are good, you won't find such a person.

This old thinking did not change until the end of family planning in later generations, coupled with the opening of social work opportunities to women.

This is true of Yu Li's situation, not to mention He Yushui's situation.

Some people admit that Yu Li would not choose He Yushui, and they despise it.

That's just silly, he was happy all day long, and didn't take his sister's affairs to heart.

If there were parents and mothers, they would have already been worried.

He Yushui is also used to it. Li Xuewu thought she would be sad, but after a year she went back to work normally.

Yu Li was also able to keep busy with her work.

But Yu Li knew that He Yushui swallowed the bitterness into her stomach, and sometimes she could meet He Yushui crying secretly at night.

No matter how scruples the people in the hospital and colleagues in the unit may have, they can't hide their discriminating eyes.

When Shazhu found the car in the west courtyard and brought He Yushui's wedding furniture back, the people in the courtyard talked in private for a while.

The concierge, the CBD business center at the entrance of the courtyard, is even more concerned about such short-sighted things.

Because there are only so many old men and women on duty during the day, it is uncomfortable not to chatter.

"Only those who are incompetent will choose this, and those who are poor and fastidious will not give it."

Yu Li persuaded her and said: "When the sky is warmer, I will ask Li Xuewu in the backyard to help you see if there is any suitable one. He has many friends and contacts."

"Um"

He Yushui knew that Yu Li was comforting herself, and didn't want Yu Li to worry about herself, so she nodded in accordance with Yu Li's wishes.

The sun always rises from the same place every day, and every snowstorm is always so sudden and overbearing.

Waking up in the morning, Li Xuewu sat up, looked at the dark room, and stretched out his hand to draw the curtains.

I saw heavy snow falling outside the window, and there was already half-deep snow on the ground.

He folded the quilt on the kang, put on the clothes Yu Li had prepared, filled the stove with briquettes, and then put on his leather shoes and went out.

The reason why the house kept burning during the day was because the heating system in the house could not stop the fire.

The other one is that the old lady in the front yard and Li Shu will come to the backyard to stay during the day.

Sometimes people come to the house, and Li Xue also comes to the backyard to study with her own books.

"pat"

As soon as Li Xuewu stepped out of the house, he stepped on the snow and landed on the ground, and the snow water was stepped out.

"Uncle Wu"

When Li Xuewu turned his head, he saw Bang Geng wearing a cotton hat standing at the door of the chicken rack and looking at him.

"Uncle Wu, this snow is imaginary, the bottom has already melted"

"understood"

Li Xuewu agreed, picked up the broom held by the door, and swept the snow away from the door.

After sweeping the snow at his door, he took a look at the door of the deaf old lady in the backyard, and took the broom to sweep the door of the old lady again.

Although it was still snowing, as long as it was swept away and the sun came out of the clouds for a while, the snow would disappear.

The courtyard is paved with green bricks and water.

After finishing drawing, he raised his head when he saw the deaf old lady standing behind the window and looking at him.

Seeing Li Xuewu raised his head, the deaf old lady smiled and nodded.

Li Xuewu also smiled, turned around and walked along the door of his house to the Moon Gate.

The second aunt saw Li Xuewu sweeping snow in the courtyard while cooking, but she didn't care at all.

It can be seen that Li Xuewu also swept the door of the deaf old lady, so he pouted, put the meal on the table, and said to Liu Haizhong who got up early: "Look, the consciousness of this cadre is different, and he still does good deeds." , I just don’t know who to show it to.”

Liu Haizhong didn't understand, but when he saw his wife beckoning to the door, he also stood up and leaned on the glass to look out.

Seeing that the door of Li Xuewu's house and the old lady's door have been swept at this moment, but other places have not been swept.

"Hehe, this is really a person sweeping the snow in front of the door, don't care about other people's roofs."

After muttering something, he turned and went into the back room, seeing that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were still snoring on the bed at this moment, and put their feet on the bed.

"Get up, get up"

"What's wrong? Dad!"

"What's wrong? It's snowing!"

Liu Guangtian squinted his eyes and looked outside, and then said: "Let's go down, it's hard to have a Sunday."

Liu Haizhong pointed out the window with his hands and chin behind his back and said: "Get up and sweep the snow. Our house is in the shade. If you don't sweep it away in the afternoon, the snow will melt and it will freeze."

"Oops~"

Liu Guangtian stared at the big eyes and wanted to say why don't you sweep by yourself, but now his mind is clear, he stretched out his fist and knocked Liu Guangfu on the upper bunk and said, "Third brother, get up quickly."

This quick reaction saved the two brothers a beating.

Liu Haizhong walked away with his hands behind his back, cursing: "I can't do anything, I can't eat enough".

Liu Guangfu lay on the upper bunk and watched his second brother make a fierce expression behind his father, smiled, put on his clothes and jumped off the upper bunk.

When the two brothers went out, they saw that Li Xuewu had finished sweeping the snow to the Moon Gate, and was walking back with a broom.

"Deputy Director Li, you are back!"

"Morning, Deputy Director Li!"

Li Xuewu also saw the two brothers, smiled and said: "Hey, good morning".

While talking, he nodded and put the broom under the window, and asked the walking stick: "Are you done feeding?"

"Um"

Sticky's face was flushed from the cold, and with an empty bucket in his hand, he said, "I cleaned up the snow in the chicken coop, so I can feed it."

While speaking, he looked at the soles of his shoes and said, "This chicken shit is really smelly. If it wasn't for the snow, I wouldn't be able to get it off."

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the stick, put his arms around the big-faced cat and walked towards the Moon Gate and asked, "Is dinner ready at home?"

He was looking for something to talk about, in order to avoid the two brothers at the opposite door.

Liu Guangtian originally wanted to pick a fight with Li Xuewu, but seeing that Li Xuewu was talking to BangGong, he made a fool of himself and took his younger brother to sweep the snow.

After passing through the Moon Gate, the snow on this side has been swept away, because the water underneath has been exposed, and the snow has been rushing down and melting.

"Uncle Wu, I'm home!"

"it is good"

Letting go of the stick, Li Xuewu took a look at Jia's house, then walked towards the third gate.

As soon as he turned around, he saw He Yushui coming out of the upper room.

"Finished?"

"Um"

He Yushui couldn't see the sad appearance of last night at this moment, and walked to Li Xuewu who was waiting for him with a smile.

"You wake up early enough, why don't you sleep more on Sunday?"

Hearing He Yushui asking himself, Li Xuewu smiled and walked outside with her, saying as he walked, "I still have something to do today, I have to be busy."

"You are so tired, I didn't see you having a rest"

He Yushui looked at Li Xuewu, who was in high spirits, and thought about how domineering this man was last night, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's because you didn't see me being lazy, hahaha"

Talking and laughing, he entered the front yard and saw Yan Fugui standing on the steps in front of the house, instructing the three children to sweep the snow in the yard.

"Here, here, don't leave any dead ends"

While talking, he still hung his book bag and said: "The plan for a day is in the morning, and Sunday should be better spent."

Seeing Li Xuewu and He Yushui coming from behind, he looked over.

He Yushui was polite, and said hello first, "Third Master, I'm busy."

"Hey"

Yan Fugui nodded, and said, "Why are you busy, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door."

While speaking, he looked at the door of Li's house opposite and said: "We are not officials, no one will come to serve us, so we have to clean it ourselves."

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to him, looked at him and walked to the back room.

He Yushui saw that the third master was talking about Li Xuewu in his own words, and seeing Li Xuewu's appearance, he lowered his head in embarrassment and followed Li Xuewu out of the second door.

The inverted room is bustling with activity at the moment, more than a dozen boys are putting tables and picking up bowls on the kang.

I used to put a table in the kitchen here and eat breakfast.

But it can't work now, there are almost 20 people in this room, and the kitchen can't be crowded.

"Brother Wu"

"Hey"

Li Xuewu agreed, washed his hands at the door, and sat on the kang.

I also went to the kang to eat this morning, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Just in time for the snow, I cleaned up the east house after dinner, and moved to the warehouse in the west yard if I didn't need it."

"Hey!"

Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Lao Biaozi agreed, and said: "I was thinking about it. I took them to the east house in the morning. I was afraid that the soil would be blown up in the morning, so I packed the soil in a bag from the outside. transported to the East House."

At this moment, Yu Li served a bowl of porridge for Li Xuewu and said, "Let's put my furniture in the warehouse. I have to work hard to move it for me."

"It's all right"

Lao Biaozi smiled and said: "We are labor-rich now."

At this moment in the morning, it is cornmeal pancakes, stick porridge, and the pickles that were previously pickled.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Hurry up and buy the stove tube, first set up the kang and the stove, and work when it is warm."

"Yes, there are only so many jobs, easy to do"

Lao Biaozi replied: "Grandpa knows how to keep an eye on this kang, and it just connects the flue with the fire wall here."

According to what Lao Biaozi meant, the kang was placed on the south wall, oriented from east to west, and just after that, windows were opened on the south side to facilitate the circulation of heat.

"Well, you figure it out"

Li Xuewu finished his meal in a few mouthfuls and asked, "Is the car ready?"

"Uh-huh"

Lao Biaozi took a sip of porridge and said: "The hot water has been added, and I have put the things you want in the trunk."

It was cold, and Li Xuewu really didn't want to drive the Willis, so he still used the GAZ 69.

"Eat it"

Li Xuewu put on his clothes, waved to the few people who were about to get off the kang, and went out.

It was only during the meal that I realized the meaning of Yan Fugui's sour words. It turned out that the kid here swept the snow in front of the house.

Fearing that Li Xuewu would misunderstand, he even explained that he didn't go to the backyard because he didn't want to disturb Li Xuewu's sleep.

Lao Biaozi looked at Huo Yongfang who was a little nervous, and explained to Li Xuewu that these boys were afraid of Li Xuewu and dared not go.
