Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 989 Girl, Don’t Cry

"Hey~ Comrade Xiaobai~"

Huang Gan greeted Zhou Xiaobai with a smile and sat down opposite Li Xuewu.

Wei Qing, who came in with him, just said hello and went to another table.

"Brother Huang~"

Zhou Xiaobai was already very familiar with Huang Gan and the others. At this moment, he smiled somewhat unnaturally and lowered his head to eat.

As if he had discovered something wrong, Huang Gan raised his eyebrows towards Li Xuewu and glanced at her, asking what was going on.

Li Xuewu ignored his winking expression, ate the rice in his bowl, and asked, "How's things going in Chadian?"

"I went there specially last week and met with their director and secretary."

Huang Gan became more serious when talking about work. While eating, he introduced: "Of course they are happy to have projects, but they still need to consider your opinions."

"What to consider?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you still reluctant to give up that little dilapidated winery?"

"Don't be so strong~"

Huang Gan smiled and said, "It's a public-to-public cooperation. They are wearing hats, carrying burdens, and dragging things. They have to walk steadily."

"But the efforts we have made are not small, and their attitude is still very positive."

“This is all considered poverty alleviation!”

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "I don't care about the details, but you have to give me a definite answer. This matter must be grasped."

"How do you know?"

Huang Gan said with a smile: "Do you want me to apply for a transfer, or do you want me to be the site manager?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Xuewu curled his lips, took a sip of hot soup, and said: "The steel mill yacht project requires a large amount of wooden structures and solid wood furniture."

"besides!"

He reminded earnestly: "Yachts need it, as do cargo ships and fishing boats. If you really make it well, I will also have foreign trade orders!"

"grass!"

Huang Gan cursed, glared, then frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you say this earlier? Isn't this giving them a free ride?!"

After speaking, he glanced at the restaurant, turned back and whispered to Li Xuewu, "What do you think...we should change the personnel in Chadian?"

"..."

Zhou Xiaobai sat aside and listened, feeling that everything he heard was ridiculous. Just because of a project, just because of the worry that the other party would not cooperate, or... they had to replace everyone?

It’s so off the mark!
It’s not just that outrageous, there’s something even more outrageous!
Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at the person opposite him, then asked, "How do I change it?"

"What do you have to exchange for it?"

Without waiting for Huang Gan to answer, Li Xuewu continued, "It will take at least three to five years to bury a stake. Can you guarantee him what will happen five years from now?"

"Think about it, don't act like a madman"

After taking a bite of the rice, he looked at Huang Gan opposite him who was frowning and thinking, and reminded him: "If you are disobedient now, there is still the risk of disobedience in the future."

"What should I do?"

Huang Gan was so worried that he couldn't eat. He chewed the rice in his bowl and said, "These are both industrial and agricultural resources. Aren't you afraid of making wedding clothes for others?!"

“So I’m telling you, grasp it.”

Li Xuewu finished his meal in a few bites, put down his chopsticks and said: "If you manipulate power, you will inevitably encounter betrayal by power. You have to do something more advanced."

"Tell me! What is advanced?"

Huang Gan stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Xuewu, waiting for his "advanced" answer.

"The most advanced one is to attack the enemy's strategy and defeat the enemy without fighting."

Li Xuewu pointed at the table, looked at him and asked, "Do you think of abusing your power for personal gain every time you encounter a problem like this?"

Huang Gan frowned and fell silent. He certainly knew that using personnel to control the situation was the simplest and most direct way, but it also had disadvantages that could not be ignored.

Of course, what Li Xuewu said made sense, and he understood this.

It’s just that given the current situation and their shallow foundation, when faced with sudden benefits, the most immediate consideration is the simplest.

"We have to take our time with this matter and not be afraid of trouble"

Li Xuewu moved the tableware in front of him and said softly: "As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must first give it. I am not afraid of giving, but I am afraid of going in the wrong direction."

"Um"

Huang Gan nodded slowly and said: "I will talk to my dad later. Don't worry about the policy."

"Don't get involved in human affairs. At least you are not qualified to do so now."

Li Xuewu reminded: "You can't do these projects even if you are given them. Only cooperation can bring win-win results."

"and!"

After saying this, he emphasized again: "The project is about money, you are about power, and they are about results."

"Use money to lead to power, use power to support people, cause and effect are cyclical and complement each other."

Li Xuewu finally said: "You know it well without me telling you what identity is the most appropriate for me to intervene in."

"Um"

Huang Gan nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "I am a little greedy~"

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu chuckled, then joked: "Yes, a little bit~"

“But it’s a good thing.”

Huang Gan raised his eyebrows and said: "You are right. I can't bear to go to Chadian to suffer. If I encourage others to go there, I will have to bear the consequences."

"Not only that, the more we hold on to these projects, the more they become a burden and a waste in the end."

"Especially if you offend your current personnel relationships, the loss will outweigh the gain."

He thought about it and said, "Instead of this, it is better to start the project in a cooperative relationship. The interests are clear and one is one, two is two. It is more innocent."

"Like you said"

Huang Gan smiled and looked at Li Xuewu, and said: "I can't get any actual benefits from this project, and I am just a chess piece, so I am at a disadvantage."

"Okay, I know you're smart, no need to show off to me"

Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to Zhou Xiaobai, who was a little surprised, and said, "Don't corrupt the flowers of the motherland."

"Flowers also have to face darkness, otherwise how can they bloom at dawn~"

Huang Gan smiled and teased Zhou Xiaobai, "Isn't that right, Comrade Xiaobai~"

"I don't understand what you are saying~"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled, said something to him and continued eating.

Huang Gan also picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "When it comes to selecting and employing people, I really don't agree with you."

"but!"

He pouted and looked at Li Xuewu, nodded, and said seriously: "When it comes to manipulating minds, you definitely deserve the title of master."

"Stop insulting the Master!"

Li Xuewu glanced at him with disdain, then warned Zhou Xiaobai: "Keep away from him when you see him in the future, he is not a good person."

"Got it~"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled obediently, knowing that Brother Li was deliberately teasing him.

No one mentioned Chadian again at the dinner table. Huang Gan talked about the situation in the prison while eating.

It is nothing more than the project operation in the prison, as well as the co-construction projects between the three prisons in Xicheng and so on.

The papermaking equipment has been marked and can be moved at any time as long as the cooperation with Chadian is confirmed.

During the conversation, he also mentioned that his eldest brother had taken leave to study liberal arts, and no one would stop him since his wife was giving birth.

What's more, he lives in a detention center, not a prison, and no one is watching him.

The situation at Huaqing has calmed down a bit, but due to the recent popularity in the Magic City, there have been twists and turns again.

So Li Xuewu didn't say anything, and his elder brother Xuewen also didn't plan to go back to work.

Huaqing's printing factory is still there, and it is said that it will be moved to the Third Prison in Xicheng, and the related printing tasks will also be transferred.

The Third Prison is located outside the Second Ring Road, on the outskirts of the city. It’s a large place with its own brick factory and small farm, so it’s a great place to do as much as you want.

No one talked about where my eldest brother would work after studying literature, and no one asked him about it. He himself was confused.

According to Huang Gan's opinion, of course he would continue to live in the prison, as he was reluctant to let the electronics teacher leave.

The reason why we have the courage to give these projects to others is that we rely on that small radio assembly factory.

From the current project, the prisoners detained there were mentioned.

The main people mentioned are those involved in the biggest case in Dongcheng.

Of course, those of higher rank will not be detained there. There is a Qincheng near the capital.

Huang Gan also mentioned it as a joke, saying that the more than 200 people in his custody were really jumping up and down, and there was endless fun to watch every day.

These people are truly omnipotent and have boundless magical powers. They are deeply afraid of suffering in the labor farm, so they all want to stay in a prison.

Their families or connections behind them are also helping, and some of them have even asked him to do so.

They want to be cared for, to be comfortable, to have enough food to eat, and even to enjoy certain treatments.

Huang Gan shook his head with a smile and said to Li Xuewu: "I really don't know what to say to them. They treat me as if I were the same as before and they actually try to get close to me while talking and laughing."

"Don't be too serious~"

Li Xuewu pointed out to him, "He is in trouble, not buried. Don't make trouble for others. It's not fun to watch the scene."

"You think I don't know?"

Huang Gan blinked and said with a wicked smile: "These people are very smart. They naturally dare not send things to me, but do you know why I said that I could touch the personnel of Chadian?"

"It's for you to expand~"

Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and said, "You feel superior even when you pick up trash~"

"grass!"

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu speechlessly and said, "Your description is so damn apt, but are you going to let me eat?!"

After saying that, he said helplessly: "Can't you say something nice?"

"When you become a judge..."

Li Xuewu only said half of his words, because he had already thought that with Huang Gan's family background, plus their current achievements and age advantage, this might really be possible in the future.
-

After lunch, Huang Gan left in a hurry. He had already discussed with Li Xuewu what to do, so naturally he had to execute it immediately.

The project doesn't matter, the money earned is public, but if he can control the Chadian Farm in disguise, even his father will have to praise his son for being amazing.

After Huang Gan left, Zhou Xiaobai cleaned up the dishes and followed him out.

"Actually, I understand~"

Zhou Xiaobai put his hands in his pockets, looked up at Li Xuewu and said, "You want to use the immediate benefits to make the other party follow you, right?"

Without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, she continued: "At the same time, use certain means to influence the other party's decision-making, and then use the Chadian Farm and those who manage future development to restrict or seduce the other party to become your friend..."

"Am I wrong?"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Li Xuewu looking at her carefully and asked in surprise.

Li Xuewu blinked his eyes and commented on her with a serious expression: "I really underestimated you. It turns out you are so smart!"

"Oops~"

Zhou Xiaobai patted him embarrassedly and said awkwardly: "I just listened to what you said."

"Haha~ pretty impressive!"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying: "At least you understand everything Huang Gan understands, which proves that you can do what he can do."

"No way~"

Zhou Xiaobai said very self-awarely: "Brother Huang is very capable, you just didn't talk behind my back."

She looked up at Li Xuewu and asked nervously, "Is your usual working environment also so complicated?"

"I mean……"

Afraid that Li Xuewu might misunderstand, she explained, "That is... that is, I need you to use this... that... method to deal with it?"

"You mean to say sinister and cunning calculations?"

Li Xuewu asked casually, then nodded slowly and said: "In fact, the working environment is not complicated, what is complicated is the human heart."

"That's right, people have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers have the intention of hurting people's hearts, don't you understand?"

"I know!"

Zhou Xiaobai nodded seriously, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I understand what you mean. We should be on guard or strike first, right?"

“Almost the same, maybe a little more severe”

Li Xuewu pinched his chin, smiled maliciously and said: "Sometimes I would scheme against others for certain interests, and even fight with serious ones..."

When Zhou Xiaobai heard Li Xuewu talking about the plan and saying he would take action, his eyes widened and then he nodded in understanding.

"You don't have to be afraid~"

Li Xuewu looked her over and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not a good person either~"

"Pfft~"

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help laughing out loud, then he covered his mouth, nodded, and smiled as he acknowledged what Li Xuewu said.

Li Xuewu tilted his head, looked at her seriously and said: "Actually, I heard what you said to me."

"What……?"

Zhou Xiaobai was slightly stunned before he realized that Li Xuewu was talking about her "confessions" before Huang Gan came.

Seeing Li Xuewu suddenly point these out, even though they were near the flower hall and there was no one else around, she still couldn't help but lower her head and blush.

"Um...I...actually..."

"It's not your fault~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Actually, don't blame me. It's my fault that you have illusions and misunderstandings."

"no!"

Zhou Xiaobai suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I am... all..."

She wanted to say that she did it willingly, but seeing the sincerity in Li Xuewu's eyes, she couldn't put it into words.

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said with understanding: "Youth is priceless, and youth has infinite possibilities. You can squander it as you like, feel it, and understand yourself."

"My youth is more daring, more unbridled and reckless than yours."

"Of course, I could allow myself to act recklessly when I was young, but now I cannot be irresponsible."

"Especially for you who are young"

Li Xuewu looked at her sincerely and said, "I can no longer give you what you want, but what I can give you will have in the future."

Even after Zhou Xiaobai's face turned pale and his eyes became misty, he still said firmly: "Flowers that are eager to bloom are extremely beautiful, but they are also in danger of dying prematurely."

"I……"

Zhou Xiaobai just felt his throat was so dry and uncomfortable, he was choking and couldn't even speak.

It's like a traveler who has been walking in the desert for a long time, with no water left in the body and on the verge of withering and death.

His words were straightforward and somewhat heartless, which made me feel heartbroken but also a little confused.

"Your youth is just right, budding, beautiful and charming, but the person you met is a scheming, calculating, insidious and cunning villain."

Li Xuewu smiled and raised his eyebrows, and said seriously: "The mistake of this bad guy is that he made you have the illusion or fantasy of heartbeat, but girl, that is not love."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the parking lot without paying any attention to the girl who was already crying.

Being cruel does not mean being heartless, it is the most responsible farewell to you.

The moment Zhou Xiaobai confessed her feelings to him in a roundabout way, the relationship between them had already been made clear by her, and the result was naturally destined to be like this.

Li Xuewu is a person who is extremely responsible to his family and absolutely loyal to his partner.

You can say that he is fickle, or that he is a playboy, or even examine his marriage and say that he does not really love Gu Ning.

However, he is responsible for his promises and for what he has said.

Compared to those couples who live together because of traditional concepts, marriage etiquette, living habits, and other people's opinions, Li Xuewu and Gu Ning live a clear and free life.

Gu Ning felt that he was suitable. He was a suitable partner that her family liked and she could accept. Even though there was a generation gap between them, they could still treat each other with respect.

Li Xuewu had experienced what happened with Lin Tingting, and he knew that the other half of his life might not be the one you love the most, or the one who loves you the most, but he or she should be the most suitable one to be with you.

So even though there are Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu, Yu Li... there are many good women I met.

Regardless of whether there is affection or not, or what the relationship is like, he can clearly recognize his own needs and express what he wants to the other party.

The three no principles do not mean no principles, and Li Xuewu is not a dirty bastard.

He will be ruthless enough to reject any dangerous relationship that wants to touch his bottom line.

Just like he thought, if a girl needs experience, needs knowledge, needs a process of growth, and needs his help, she would naturally be willing to help.

But if the girl mistakes friendship for love, there's nothing he can do.

Zhou Xiaobai is still young. She has never experienced disillusionment, nor has she suffered the pain of love or emotional hurt. Naturally, she feels that love is more important than anything else.

What's even more terrifying is that she regarded the touch and illusion in her heart as her future and wanted it for a lifetime, which Li Xuewu could never afford.

He dared to disappoint anyone in this world except the heart of a young girl and the righteousness of a young woman.

People like Ou Xin, who are a few years older than Zhou Xiaobai, are much smarter. Although they have never had direct contact with society, their circle is a small society.

Having seen more and understood more, I naturally know very well the bottom line and degree of playing with "big brothers" like Li Xuewu.

You can hug and kiss, and play around flirtatiously, but you can't fall in love or show affection.

Huang Gan and his friends all have families and lovers. Married men no longer have the soil for love in their hearts.

So no matter how ambiguous Pei Pei was with Huang Gan, she never told him that they wanted to be together, or forced him to take responsibility for anything.

From the beginning to the end, this is a friendship, a communication with the meaning of mutual help.

Li Xuewu, like Huang Gan and others, is not a gentleman, let alone Liu Xiahui.

But they are all people with bottom lines and principles. They know what can be eaten and what will upset their stomachs if they don’t have this sense of propriety. How can they enter this circle?

Is Zhou Xiaobai wrong?

No, Li Xuewu just said it very seriously, it was not her fault, but his.

Regardless of Zhou Xiaobai's identity, background and relationships, she is just a young girl who has not experienced much of the world, so Li Xuewu had to show her the minimum respect.

If Zhou Xiaobai wasn't in her current situation, maybe in the future she would be like Ou Xin and others, learning life experience and understanding the warmth and coldness of human nature from these older brothers.

When you leave, you can't say that you have gained something, but when you face the choice of a marriage partner in the future, you can also say that you have not lost anything here.

It is also possible that I can develop better, either with the help of family connections or the power of the club, and stand on equal footing with them.

By that time, everyone will give them the attention and respect they deserve.

Whether Zhou Xiaobai chooses to have a personal relationship or deep interaction with Li Xuewu at that time will be another matter.

To put it bluntly, Li Xuewu cannot rely on his experience to harm the little girl.

His words were cruel, but Zhou Xiaobai heard them in his heart and understood his true feelings.

The affectionate are always annoyed by the heartless. Although the Tao is heartless, it is actually affectionate.

The cold wind in winter blew away the tears in the girl's eyes, melted the ice in her heart, and blew away the sudden haze.

Just when Li Xuewu was about to open the car door and get in, he suddenly heard a shout behind him.

"Hey! That bad guy!"

He looked back and saw Zhou Xiaobai smiling and crying. He wiped his tears and shouted to him, "I just want to learn how bad guys are made, okay?"

"Okay!"

Li Xuewu suddenly smiled, waved at Zhou Xiaobai and said: "Don't learn too fast. It's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things."

After saying that, he nodded, opened the door and got into the command vehicle.

Zhao Laosi, who was opening the door at the door, was muttering to himself. He was frightened by Zhou Xiaobai's shout just now.

This girl usually looks quite smart, why did she go crazy today and call Director Li a bad guy?!
You also need to learn how to become a bad guy!

How can one be made into a bad guy? The teachers in school didn’t teach him, and the seniors in the underworld didn’t tell him either.

He is a well-known bad guy in East City. How could he not know how bad guys are made?!
Bad guys are bad guys!
-

Li Xuewu did not waste his Sunday afternoon. He first went home to visit his sister-in-law.

The eldest brother put down his books and sorted out the necessary documents and materials under the guidance of the eldest sister-in-law.

The couple had nothing to do, so they started preparing to register their child.

However, there is a prerequisite for registering the child, which is to give the child a name.

Naming is really a troublesome thing, and the more educated the family is, the more troublesome it is.

If you talk about ordinary people’s homes, who didn’t have the conditions in the past, they would just call for whatever sounded better.

Or in response to the call of the times, boys can be named Ge, Jun, or Guo, and girls can be named Shu, Fang, Ya, or Xiu.

No matter how uneducated you are, you can just call it whatever you see when you go out, such as shoulder pole, wood, hoe, etc.

Of course, this is all a joke. The more educated the families are, the more difficult it is to name their children because of choice phobia.

I didn't pay attention to it before naming my child, but when I really came to naming my child, I thought everything looked good and everything was inappropriate.

Everything from the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Qi Men Dun Jia, and Xuan Tian Er Di needs to be taken into consideration, and even the child's fate is related to it, there is a lot to talk about.

There is a characteristic of the names in the Li family genealogy, that is, two characters and one character are used alternately among generations.

For example, my father Li Shun’s generation all had single names, and the same was true for my second uncle and third uncle.

When it comes to the generation of Li Xuewen and Li Xuewu, the names are doubled. Girls are not included in the family tree and are not restricted by the rules, so Li Xue is a single name.

According to the rules, now it’s time to name Li Xuewen’s child, and single words have to be used again.

Single words are more difficult than double words, because one word must express the wishes of parents and family, it must be consistent with the birth date, and it must not be taboo or conflicting when combined with the surname.

In addition to the more mysterious taboos, the names of elders and relatives are also included.

For example, when Li Xuewen names his child, he has to avoid using the names of Li Shun’s generation and all his immediate relatives of the same generation.

Obey, dare and agree.

It cannot be used for studying literature, martial arts, talent, snow, grace, ability, and letters.

The names of women in the family, including the old lady, Liu Yin and Zhao Yafang, cannot be used.

There are many restrictions and high requirements. My eldest brother Xuewen holds a dictionary in his hand and picks out all the words he likes and writes them on a long piece of paper.

and then?
Then he had nothing to do with it. His family status was fully reflected in the matter of naming.

The primary election has been given to him, so should the final decision-making power also be given to him?

That would make him swell up!

The second round of screening requires the consent of the women in the family and Li Shun, and also the approval of Zhao Yafang.

In the end, we have to take Li Shu's name into consideration and prepare two alternatives, one for a boy and one for a girl.

what?
You said Gu Ning is going to give birth too?

Why not name them all together?
That's impossible. After Gu Ning gives birth, this process will have to be repeated again. This kind of strenuous sense of ritual is what we want.

Li Xuewu saw his elder brother scratching his head and flipping through the dictionary, while discussing with his elder sister-in-law which one was good and which one was bad. He smiled and hid away.

Mother Liu Yin was also listening, as if naming was a very sacred and crucial matter for the family.

When I went home, I brought some nutritional supplements and a basket of eggs to help my sister-in-law increase her milk production.

At this time, his mother no longer complained about his spending money indiscriminately, and was willing to spend anything for the eldest son and grandson of the family.

Li Xuewu is not jealous of this. His family is not one of the wealthy and powerful families in the past, with no property to fight for.

Even if there was a fight, his father Li Shun only had one wife, and his three sons were all legitimate, so there could be no house fight.

Without that, the family only has such little assets after deducting them all. Li Xuewu doesn't care about it, and he is even more jealous that his eldest brother's child is the eldest son and grandson.

The sign of a prosperous family is a large population. With people there is hope and there is a future.

Look at Gu Ning's expression. She's already annoyed with this pregnancy, and she's not sure if she'll want the next one.

If he really gives birth to one child, he will still look for someone else to have for the sake of having a large family. It's absolutely impossible.

So he just hoped that his elder brother and sister-in-law would have nothing to do in the next few years and just stay at home and have children.

The more children the better. The Li family is united and everyone treats their own children as their own.

It was Li Xuecai who waited two years for education to resume and then quickly got his diploma and a job.

Seize the opportunity in these few years, marry Ji Yuxiu as soon as possible, and have children as soon as possible.

He was really willing to give it his all. For the sake of the prosperity of his family, he was reluctant to let Gu Ning suffer, and only hoped that his eldest and third brothers would work hard.

He asked Shen Guodong to accompany him, and they pulled a cart full of vegetables and fruits, as well as some dried fruits, jellies, fish, frozen meat, etc., and sent it to Han Shu's home.

Han Shu has been to Gangcheng more often in the past few months and has become more concerned about Dong Wenxue.

Seeing that Li Xuewu had sent something over again, he didn't say anything polite anymore and just forced the two of them to stay and have tea.

During the conversation, he mentioned that Vice President Pei Dayu of the Iron and Steel Institute had communicated with him last time, and that the school had been preparing and researching that matter.

Han Shu meant that Li Xuewu should not be anxious, as the current situation was extremely complicated and dangerous for the school.

It’s not that Pei Dayu is vague in his work, but he is taking the initiative to promote this work, but he is not the principal and the school is not his.

Li Xuewu didn't care. The steel mill had already started preparing a plan for the construction of a vocational and technical school.

According to the plan, the first batch of students will be recruited in July, and school will start in September, officially launching the comprehensive technical training education.

Pei Dayu's work progress does not interfere with or delay the steel mill's plans.

Li Xuewu also expressed his attitude to Han Shu, saying that he could give time, but there had to be a plan, and it should not be later than May this year.

If the Iron and Steel Institute cannot do this, then he doesn't mind looking for other schools, or even poaching teachers from these schools to teach.

Take Huaqing University as an example. There are so many teachers and college students who are about to graduate who are idle. As long as we use our connections, it is not difficult to solve the problem of educational resources.

The fact that Han Shu was able to express his opinion means that Pei Dayu is really taking action on this matter.

Don't underestimate this kind of cooperation. The steel rolling mill can not only provide Pei Dayu with support in the direction of the factory, but also in the name of nature.

The worker's words were still forceful at this time, and it could be considered a practical way out that Pei Dayu had found.

We can't let the students in school run wild.

When leaving Han Shu's house, she also mentioned Li Xuewu's studies, urging him not to forget to study, especially since the school was already preparing to arrange a teacher to give him individual lessons.

Li Xuewu agreed with a wry smile, knowing that he had to get the diploma. At least he wanted to be listed on the list of outstanding alumni of the Iron and Steel Institute as a graduate, rather than a dropout.
-

"piu~piu~!"

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the house, he was shot dead by his daughter.

Li Shu didn't know where she got the machine gun from. She held it in her hand and imitated the action of firing a gun, firing several shots at Baba who came in.
Li Xuewu humorously cooperated with his daughter's attack and pretended to faint, which made Li Shu giggle.

After picking up Li Shu from the ground and changing her slippers, he went into the house and saw Qin Jingru tidying up the house. He asked with a smile, "Who taught her that?"

"I saw it in a magazine"

Qin Jingru was tidying up the sofa. She looked up and replied with a smile, then complained with some distress: "You're finally back, hurry up, she's been bothering me all afternoon and I haven't finished the work."

"Where's Jiankun?"

Li Xuewu walked around with his daughter in his arms, but didn't see Han Jiankun who came home in the morning.

Qin Jingru straightened up and shook her body, saying, "We went to the market. We don't have enough seasoning at home, so we asked him to go to a few more places and buy enough."

The supply and marketing system is also strange at this time. There are restrictions on single-store purchases, unless you go to several places.

Li Xuewu has prepared all the rice, flour, grain, oil and other supplies for the family, and he often brings fruits and vegetables home, so the only things missing are seasonings and some other things.

Qin Jingru wanted to clean up the house, so she naturally delegated Han Jiankun to go to the runway. He was her soldier.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If you had told me earlier, it would have been better to get it directly from the factory service department."

"Who would have thought of that~"

Qin Jingru walked into the bedroom near the door, pointed inside and said, "I have cleaned up the first floor. You and Sister Xiaoning can live here today."

After the introduction, she reminded me worriedly: "You have to be careful at night and don't sleep too deeply. Otherwise, your water might break without you noticing."

"How do you pay attention to this?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't set the alarm and just get up in half an hour."

"Look at you~ you are still a big leader~"

Qin Jingru joked, "It takes half an hour to take care of a pregnant woman. I told you to be careful because I'm afraid Sister Xiao Ning would react and tell you to get up."

"Ah~"

Li Xuewu sighed and said to his daughter, "Dad is the one who matters to this family. Without him, nothing can be done~"

"Eh~~~"

Qin Jingru curled her lips in disdain and said with a smile: "Don't ask you to do anything, you are talking too much~"

Having said this, Gu Ning walked down from the second floor holding the stairs, his steps were slow but steady.

She was in good health, young, and her pregnancy did not restrict her movements much.

It was just that Qin Jingru reminded her a lot at home, and her mother's constant reminders and concerns on the phone made her a little afraid to act rashly.

Otherwise, Li Xuewu would have just listened to her and insisted on going to work without caring about her excessive movements.

In fact, the mother-in-law was also worried about her, but she was afraid that she would get annoyed if she talked too much, so even though Li Xuewu gave her the greatest understanding, she did not dare to act rashly.

In fact, you can exercise during pregnancy, but there are certain risks. Li Xuewu has seen women kicking sandbags during their seventh month of pregnancy, and women rafting and swimming in the sea during their eighth month of pregnancy.

Some foreign women rest for a night after giving birth and then exercise on the treadmill the next day.

To be honest, this was a conditional situation. Qin Jingru's mother was pregnant and about to give birth, but she still went to work in the fields with the production team, without delaying anything.

In rural areas, especially at this time, where ideas are relatively backward, being pregnant does not mean you can take a vacation.

There are even women who go to work in the fields right after giving birth, because if they don't work they will have nothing to eat.

Everyone knows the importance of health, and everyone knows that childbirth is a life-threatening experience for women, but few people really take it seriously.

Li Xuewu understood and valued it, but he considered science more and respected Gu Ning's profession more.

He comes from the military, so now you can ask him to handle management, economics, and security without any problem.

But if you ask him to talk about fertility and medicine, even if he has knowledge and experience, can he speak better than surgeon Gu Ning?
Isn’t this a joke?

So Li Xuewu never told Gu Ning what to do. He just reminded her when necessary and comforted her when necessary. Giving her more relaxation and stress relief was better than anything else.

Women during pregnancy suffer from endocrine disorders, unstable emotions, and are easily irritable.

Gu Ning’s personality is okay. She never says anything. The scary thing is that she doesn’t say anything.

It is inconvenient to go up and down the second floor. The night before yesterday, before the couple went to bed, Li Xuewu took the initiative to mention that he wanted to move downstairs.

Although Gu Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with going up and down the stairs, she thought about how Li Xuewu had never said anything to her for such a long time, so she agreed after thinking about it.

The couple seem to get along well with each other and discuss everything. They never act in a forceful or playful manner right from the start.

Qin Jingru, who had proposed this idea a long time ago, got the news from Li Xuewu and cleaned up the room downstairs today.

The old lady’s things were taken away and her luggage was moved down from upstairs.

He was just living there, so his clothes and other things were still upstairs. Li Xuewu could only go to the second floor to work or read.

Gu Ning looked towards the bedroom on the first floor, and when Qin Jingru asked her if she needed anything else, she shook her head to indicate that it was enough.

Qin Jingru had wanted to remind her a long time ago, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only tell Li Xuewu quietly.

I have finished cleaning up today. I was afraid that Gu Ning would have some opinions, but I did my best.

Li Shu saw that her little bed had also been moved down again, and she thought that this was the room prepared for her, and her little face froze.

When Li Xuewu discovered that something was wrong with his daughter, Li Shu burst into tears.

"You either sleep alone or with your parents."

Li Xuewu coaxed her with a helpless look: "You, dad, and mom all sleep in this room. You are not alone."

"Good~"

Li Shu hugged his neck and smiled when she saw that he was serious.

Qin Jingru tapped Li Shu's little hand and teased her, "Look at how thoughtful you are. Why are you so cunning?"

Li Xuewu coaxed his daughter who was hiding in his arms, and helped Gu Ning to rest on the sofa.

After Qin Jingru went to the kitchen, she asked, "Has Sister Zhou written to home? It seems that she said she would come to Beijing next week."

"I said that the day before yesterday~"

Gu Ning frowned slightly, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "He said he had work to do and came to see me."

"I'm worried about you~"

Li Xuewu took her teacup and filled it with warm water for her, saying, "When I went to the club today, Yu Li mentioned it to me and said that she was there to recruit people."

"Oh~"

Gu Ning nodded, took a sip of warm water, and said: "Tell Jingru to prepare a room upstairs for her. She will bring the child here."

“I don’t know, it should be”

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "The recruitment matter is also handled by Gangcheng, and they didn't tell me."

Gu Ning glanced at him and saw him sitting down beside him holding the child. He reminded him softly, "Have you prepared for Tianjin?"

"what to prepare?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Gu Ning meant.

Gu Ning frowned and said, "Many things are needed for production. How can she do it alone?"

"Oh! That's it."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I have arranged someone there, but as for the things... I don't know."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu who knew nothing about anything, lowered his head helplessly and said: "I asked Jingru to prepare one, you find a way to send it over."

As she said this, she sniffed and said, "The child's surname should be Li, right?"
