Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

I sent the old couple home and stayed with them for a while.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do at home, Li Xuewu wanted to leave, but his father stopped him: "Come in with me, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, Dad!" Ever since he was injured, Father Li usually didn't get involved in other things, but every time he spoke it was with a very serious question, so Li Xuewu hurriedly followed him in.

After the two of them sat face to face in the inner room, Father Li said solemnly, "Xuewu, what are you thinking? Can't you live without a woman?"

"No, Dad, Xueru and I have feelings for each other!"

"What about the one next door and that girl from the countryside? Do you have feelings for them?" These consecutive questions choked Li Xuewu.

Then I heard Li's father say, "It's not like before liberation, when you could have three wives and four concubines. If it was before liberation, you could marry as many as you wanted as long as you had the money. Your mother and I would be so happy, and I could have more grandchildren. But now it's different. There are marriage laws to govern. If you're not careful and someone reports you for having promiscuous relationships, you'll be criticized, and in serious cases you'll go to jail! Do you understand that?"

Li Xuewu thought it was nothing. "It's not that serious, Dad. I'm single now. It's just a behavior issue at most! If it's discovered, the worst that can happen is we can just get married. And after we get married, we can still get divorced!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Li slammed the table and said, "You have learned to talk back! The problem of work style is not a problem. You got married and then divorced. Do you know what you are talking about? If someone takes advantage of you, do you still want your job? Do you still want your reputation? Do you still want your mother and I to keep our face?"

"I'm sorry, Dad. I know I was wrong!"

Seeing that Li’s father was angry, Li Xuewu immediately became timid and quickly admitted his mistake.

"You are already so old, it's time for you to be sensible. Don't think about those things between men and women all day long. Focus on your work and try to get promoted as soon as possible. I know you can't break up with them. You must be clean from beginning to end in the future. As for the matter in the neighboring courtyard, you should find a way to deal with it yourself, especially those three uncles in charge. Don't let any gossip spread. Wait until the girl in the countryside is old enough, then you can get married, so that you won't be unable to control yourself again!"

"Well, there is one more thing you need to prepare for. It's Xueru's background. It may not seem like a big deal now, but if the policy changes, she will likely be targeted. You need to think about how to deal with it."

Li Xuewu looked at Father Li in surprise. He really wanted to ask how he knew that there would be a storm in a few years, but he held back. After a long while, he nodded: "I know, Dad. I will take care of it!"

"Well, it's okay if you know what you are doing. You have to learn to handle some things yourself. You can't rely on your hometown for everything. Okay, go ahead!"

Coming out of the house, Li Xuewu let out a long sigh. Talking to his father was extremely stressful! What kind of person was this father in the past? He had such a sharp vision.

Fortunately, he finally managed to smooth things over at home. His parents acknowledged the existence of Chen Xueru and the others, so he could concentrate on managing the courtyard.

After watching her son leave, Li's mother walked into the room and said, "Old man, you really don't care and let him handle it himself?"

"Oh! How can I just ignore it? I just want him to hit the wall. How can he grow without hitting the wall?"

"What if it's not handled properly and someone reports it?" Mother Li is now worried about her son.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. If anything goes wrong, I can rescue him. My old leader lives inside the red walls, and my childhood friend Lao Zhao will also be transferred back to the capital to work. It won't be difficult to handle such a small matter."

Mother Li was a little surprised: "Old Zhao is coming back?"

"Well, didn't I get a letter a few days ago? I'm being transferred back from Shencheng!"

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, it'll be fine! So I don't have to worry!"

Li Xuewu didn't know what kind of connections were behind Li's father. He was now walking back, wondering when he could go and talk to the uncle. This matter couldn't be delayed for too long, as it would easily change.

Before I knew it, I arrived there. When I opened the door, Chen Xueru was playing with Qingqing's new toys.

Seeing Li Xuewu coming in, Chen Xueru quickly stood up and took the bag: "Did they deliver it to your home? Did they not scold you?"

"Why are you scolding me? They are so happy to have such a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law like you, and such a lovely granddaughter like Qingqing!"

"Tsk! You just know how to coax me. Am I your official wife?"

"Look at what you said. In my mind, if you don't believe me, we can go get the marriage certificate tomorrow!"

Chen Xueru waved her hands and turned her hips to go back: "It's boring, I was just teasing you took it seriously, I'll take Qingqing to take a shower first, the dishes in the kitchen haven't been washed yet, you go wash them!"

Li Xuewu shook his head, rolled up his sleeves helplessly and walked straight into the kitchen.

However, his hard work was not in vain. After Chen Xueru coaxed Xiao Yuqing to sleep, she appeared at the door wearing a white long dress, leaning against the door and looking at Li Xuewu.

Then he slowly walked over, sat next to Li Xuewu, leaned over and kissed him gently on the face: "I'll reward you today!"

……

The next day, Li Xuewu went out to work feeling refreshed.

On the way, I couldn't help humming a little tune: "The peach leaves are so pointed..."

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, he was learning the third-level welder's skills from his master in the class when he heard someone calling him. He took off his hat and protective goggles and saw Li Huaide standing outside the safety line.

"Master, I'm coming over here!"

"Director, what brings you here?" Li Xuewu walked over and greeted him with a smile. Li Huaide had now been promoted from logistics director to deputy director, but he was still in charge of logistics. Once you have been promoted to a higher position, especially in the factory, you naturally cannot call him anything casually. And Li Xuewu knew very well that except in official occasions, you should never use the word "deputy" when calling someone a deputy, as it is taboo.

Li Huaide found it pleasing to the ear and said with a smile: "What factory director? You are still a deputy. I want to see you for something very important."

"Your orders!"

"Let's talk outside!" The two came to the door of the workshop and found a place where no one would disturb them.

"It's like this. This weekend, my father-in-law wants to host a banquet for his comrades-in-arms, about ten people. Go and help me get some ingredients and find a chef!" Li Huaide really regarded Li Xuewu as his friend, and he also knew that he could get good things, otherwise he would not come to him for such a private matter.

"Okay, no problem. I'll figure it out. Where are the customers from? What flavors of dishes do you want to serve?"

"There are several from Sichuan and Hunan, two from Shaanxi, and a few from Northeast China! Don't be afraid of the high prices, make sure the food is good, and find a good chef!" As he said this, Li Huaide took out a stack of banknotes and a letter of introduction from his pocket and handed them to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu took the money and put it in his pocket without counting it. "Okay, don't worry, I will complete the task. I actually have a good candidate for the chef!"

Li Huaide glanced in the direction of the cafeteria: "Don't tell me you're a fool."

"How is that possible? Am I that kind of blind person?" Li Xuewu would never make such a mistake. Knowing that Li Huaide and Sha Zhu didn't have a good relationship, he still recommended him. That would be crazy.

It's just that Shazhu took advantage of the fact that people can't be fired casually now, otherwise he would have been unemployed long ago.

"Okay, hurry up and start preparing tomorrow. Ask your master for leave and don't delay anything! I'm leaving now!"

"okay!"

After returning to the workshop, I briefly explained the matter to the master, who complained to me: "You are always running around to tinker with things. Are you still going to learn welding technology? It's time for the promotion assessment soon. I'm counting on you to pass the third-level worker exam for me!"

"There's no other way, Master. We have to complete the task assigned by our superiors. I promise that after I finish this time, I will learn the skills from you! I guarantee that I will pass the third-level worker exam!" Li Xuewu saluted immediately.

"You, the only thing left in your body is a mouth. Okay, I approve. Now concentrate and study hard!" Master Chen Shouzheng had no choice. Li Huaide had come to him in person and he couldn't refuse face. Moreover, during the three difficult years, Li Xuewu got a lot of food and supplies through Li Huaide, and his family benefited a lot.

Of course, he didn't know that many of the supplies were purchased by Li Xuewu himself from the system mall, so the favor still belonged to Li Huaide.
