Men and women eating in the courtyard

The two people's car quickly drove into the compound, and the lights on the road were very bright now.

Li Xuewu skillfully parked the car at the door of Gu's house, but the door was closed at the moment.

It wasn't because Li Xuewu was coming, nor was it closed because it was dark.

The doors of every house here are closed at all times, maybe because the residents here care more about personal privacy.

Li Xuewu didn't let Gu Ning get out of the car, but jumped out of the car first and rang the doorbell.

Apparently someone had been waiting in the house. When someone rang the doorbell, they heard footsteps in the yard.

"Is it Director Li?"

"Yes, it's me, Brother Qi"

Li Xuewu also heard that the guard Xiao Qi was asking questions, so he opened his mouth to answer.

"Wait a moment"

Xiao Qi responded and came over to open the door.

Li Xuewu turned around and went to the passenger seat and opened the door for Gu Ning.

"Come down"

Gu Ning glanced at Li Xuewu and felt very warm to Li Xuewu's attentiveness.

Li Xuewu took Gu Ning's bag, helped Gu Ning get out of the car, and turned around to see Xiao Qi already standing by the gate.

"No need to open the door, I won't go in."

After saying something to Xiao Qi, Li Xuewu was about to say goodbye to Gu Ning and let her in.

Xiao Qi stood at the door and said, "Editor Ding has been waiting for you. Come in and sit for a while."

"good"

Li Xuewu knew that this was not what Xiao Qi meant, but what Aunt Ding meant, so he nodded in agreement.

After looking at Gu Ning standing aside, Li Xuewu reached out and took Gu Ning's hand and walked towards the yard.

Xiao Qi smiled when he saw the two people's actions, and then closed the door after Li Xuewu and the others entered the courtyard.

"Mom, haven't you slept yet?"

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the house, he saw Aunt Ding standing in the living room waiting for them, so he greeted her.

Ding Fengxia saw the two of them entering the courtyard holding hands, and her face looked happy at this moment.

"I'm used to it. I usually don't go to bed until ten o'clock."

After explaining, he waved to the two of them and motioned to sit on the sofa.

"Is your little sister's family very nice?"

"fine"

Li Xuewu knew that Aunt Ding had something to say, so he didn't leave in a hurry and sat on the long sofa with Gu Ning.

“Knowing we were going, we cooked the fish for us.”

“It’s not easy to raise a child alone after all.”

Ding Fengxia looked at Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu with a smile and warned: "If you two are not busy, please go over and take care of them. This family cannot be without popularity for a long time."

"good"

When Li Xuewu saw Aunt Ding drinking tea, he reached for the thermos bottle next to the coffee table and refilled the tea cup with hot water.

"You can drink tea and make it yourself."

"No, I already drank at Teacher Han's house."

After waving his hand to persuade Aunt Ding to be polite, Li Xuewu glanced at Gu Ning beside him.

Ding Fengxia obviously saw Li Xuewu's intention and said with a smile: "I asked you to come in and sit here because I want to talk to you about the house."

"yes"

When Li Xuewu heard this, he straightened his posture and listened carefully.

Ding Fengxia took a sip from the tea cup, and then said: "I happened to catch up with you that day. I took your sister-in-law to follow Xiao Ning to the new house you were looking for."

"What do you think?"

When Li Xuewu saw Aunt Ding say this, he knew that he had gone to see the new house.

So now he smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. The house is near Xiao Ning's unit."

Ding Fengxia smiled and glanced at Gu Ning. Of course she didn't believe Li Xuewu's words.

But Li Xuewu could say this, and she could still feel that Li Xuewu valued Gu Ning.

"Mom didn't tell you that"

Ding Fengxia looked at Li Xuewu and said, "You already know what kind of person Xiao Ning is. There is no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Neither your father nor I are people who value the enjoyment of life."

Li Xuewu understood what Aunt Ding said, nodded in agreement with a smile, and glanced at Gu Ning.

What he thought was that it would be better for Gu Ning to stand up and explain at this time, so that he could show off.

Gu Ning sat on the side with her head slightly lowered. Not only outside, she also didn't talk much at home.

"Besides, you have separated and are living alone, and there is no pressure to support, so there is no need to accommodate Xiao Ning and get such a nice house."

"yes"

Seeing that Gu Ning was silent, Li Xuewu first agreed, and then explained: "Xiao Ning really didn't lie to you about this. That house was indeed obtained by fate before. I didn't know how to deal with it, so I just left it there. With ".

"Really"

Although Ding Fengxia heard what Gu Ning said, she didn't know the specific condition of the house because Li Xuewu didn't tell Gu Ning carefully.

At this moment, Li Xuewu saw that Aunt Ding didn't believe it, so he smiled and explained to Aunt Ding in a simple way.

At the end of the conversation, Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning beside him and said to Aunt Ding: "I really don't lack a house to get married. If I don't have this, I'm thinking of using the house in the backyard of our courtyard."

"That's what I thought too"

When Ding Fengxia heard what Li Xuewu said, she put aside her doubts and chose to believe Li Xuewu.

So now he smiled and said, "I think the house in your compound is quite nice. It's not far from work for both of you."

As he spoke, he looked at his daughter sitting next to Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "Xiaoning doesn't understand life. I hope she can learn more about how to live with your mother."

"Haha, you can't bear to use her, and neither can my mother!"

Li Xuewu looked at Aunt Ding and said with a smile: "It's the same as my brother's partner. My mother also said with a smile that she was reluctant to give up."

"It can't be like this~"

Ding Fengxia said to Gu Ning: "You have to live independently. You have to learn how to wash clothes and cook. You can't just focus on home, right?"

After talking to Gu Ning, Ding Fengxia said to Li Xuewu: "You too, you can't stop instructing her just because she doesn't want to do it. She has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she has no work in her eyes."

"good"

Li Xuewu smiled and squinted his eyes and agreed, but Ding Fengxia could still tell that Li Xuewu was perfunctory.

This kind of perfunctoryness not only made her happy, but also made her worry about the future life of her daughter and uncle.

She could guess Li Xuewu's salary, but it was not enough to spend extravagantly.

Besides, who can live a life based solely on their parents?

"If you ask me, it's better to live closer."

As he spoke, he also said to Li Xuewu: "I heard that your parents are also planning to build a house for your brother in your courtyard. If the three brothers live together, they will be taken care of, right?"

Li Xuewu smiled, knowing that his mother-in-law was afraid that the two of them would faint from hunger.

"Isn't this such a convenient condition?"

Li Xuewu explained to his mother-in-law with a smile: "Xiao Ning and I have also thought about living there on Haiyun Road when we are at work, and then go back home when we have holidays."

At this point, Li Xuewu walked up to his mother-in-law and said with a smile: "I made an agreement with Xiao Ning that this is also home, and we will come back to live here during the holidays."

Gu Ning raised his head and looked towards Li Xuewu in surprise.

This...when did this person tell me?

When did you say you were going home to live?

Ding Fengxia already laughed when she heard Li Xuewu's words, especially when she heard Li Xuewu say that this is also home.

Although she also saw her daughter's reaction, Ding Fengxia still felt warm to hear Li Xuewu say this.

Li Xuewu continued while Gu Ning's eyes widened and his face was full of surprise: "You also know that Xiao Ning and I don't know how to cook. You can't find us annoying when the time comes. I still think about it now. Where is your craft?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Ding Fengxia now feels that this uncle has been chosen well, and his words are particularly well listened to.

"Okay, okay, you are welcome to come."

Ding Fengxia looked at the two people who were sitting next to each other and said with a smile on her face: "Mom was also worried that you would be stressed, so she just said a few words."

"I know"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I am willing to listen to you to give us more opinions. It is better than understanding this truth after we fall down."

"Hahaha, don't think Mom is annoying!"

Ding Fengxia is not afraid that Li Xuewu will annoy her. Looking at it now, this uncle is the best, and he is also at odds with her.

It’s my daughter...

Not to mention that she's not married yet, now she hides herself upstairs when things don't go her way.

If you get married, you can't hide as far away as you want.

"See what you said"

Li Xuewu looked at his watch and said with a smile: "It's a bit late today, let's do it this Saturday."

Li Xuewu glanced at Gu Ning, and then said to his mother-in-law: "This Saturday, I will pick up Xiao Ning first, and then go to your work to pick you up. Let's try Liuquanju's craftsmanship."

Ding Fengxia waved her hands angrily and said, "Why go out to eat? It's so troublesome. Just tell mom what you want to eat and she will arrange it."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "It is more convenient to go out to eat. I will pick up my mother when the time comes. Let's sit down and let your sisters meet each other."

"That's a good feeling!"

Ding Fengxia has long wanted to meet Li Xuewu's parents, and now the relationship between Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu has basically been settled.

Li Xuewu had previously said that he would be busy with work for a while, but Ding Fengxia thought that it would only be March before she could be sure.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuewu was so interested and arranged to meet so quickly.

Although he was talking about letting his mother meet him, this arrangement was just right.

After all, this was their first contact. If both parents were sitting together, it would seem too solemn.

Now, the two mothers meet and communicate first, which makes it easier to decide things later.

After all, it is not these two people who call the shots for the two families.

"Just this Saturday, won't it delay your work?"

Although Ding Fengxia was happy, she still asked Li Xuewu about his work worriedly.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I still have time to have dinner with my family, otherwise my hard work would lose its due meaning."

"Hahaha"

Ding Fengxia smiled and patted Li Xuewu's hand and said, "Okay, okay, it depends on your schedule. Mom has time here."

As he spoke, he said to Li Xuewu: "You have to go to work tomorrow morning, so I won't waste your time. Go back and rest early."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu stood up with a smile and said to Aunt Ding: "Liuquanju is on Xinjiekouer South Street. It is now called Pingan Canteen. Although the brand has changed, the craftsmanship is still the same."

Ding Fengxia stood up with a smile and was about to send Li Xuewu out, but she replied: "You decide the place. Mom doesn't choose the place. If you are not afraid that your biological mother will find it troublesome, you can come and sit at home."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded to Gu Ning before leaving.

Ding Fengxia patted her daughter, who was still sitting on the sofa in a daze, and reminded her in a low voice: "Go and send her to learn martial arts."

Gu Ning glanced at the man who had already walked to the door, thinking that they were about to meet.

She had been listening to her mother and him talking just now. They were talking about the house at the beginning, but for some reason, they were about to meet.

Didn't we meet to discuss marriage? This... this was too fast.

What this person said at Sister Han's house is true.

She was still thinking, but her mother glared at her again and asked her to get up and follow Li Xuewu off.

Ding Fengxia was also worried about this girl. When she was looking for a partner, she picked and picked again and again.

Not only must the head of the family be satisfied, but also the daughter of the family should like her.

After finally making the selection, Ding Fengxia began to worry that her daughter could not know anything and could not accept it.

So now he is getting better and better towards Li Xuewu, but he is becoming more and more disdainful towards his own daughter.

Gu Ning also felt the pressure from her mother. She lowered her head and followed her mother to the foyer to see Li Xuewu off.

Li Xuewu changed his shoes, walked out of the house, and said to the mother and daughter behind him: "Mom, don't come out. It's getting cold now. I'm going out right now."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to Gu Ning, and Gu Ning also saw the heartwarming smile in Li Xuewu's eyes.

"Drive slowly on the road!"

Ding Fengxia watched Li Xuewu go out of the door. It wasn't until Xiao Qi sent Li Xuewu's car away and closed the door that she took Gu Ning back to the house.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Ding Fengxia said naggingly: "Change your temper too. You can't be depressed all the time. What man can keep accommodating you?"

Gu Ning did not follow her mother back to the sofa. Instead, she walked to the stairs and said to her nagging mother, "Mom, I'm going upstairs."

As he spoke, he already walked upstairs.

Ding Fengxia was still talking. When she heard her daughter's words, she turned around and found that the person behind her was gone.

Facing the figure going upstairs, Ding Fengxia sighed helplessly. Now she felt that this girl was really difficult to take care of, and she might suffer a loss when she got there.

He picked up Gu Ning's handbag from the sofa, walked back to the hall and hung it on the wall with his own handbag.

When I was hanging my bag, I naturally saw the handbag that Li Xuewu gave me.

I have to say that this uncle is more considerate than my daughter. He listens to everything but does not say anything, and is happy with everything.

He reached out and touched the handbags on the wall, especially the plaid silk scarf on the handbag.

I thought about how envious these people were when I carried my handbag into the workplace that day.

It's not that Ding Fengxia can't afford such a handbag, nor is she someone who likes to show off.

This is custom-made by my uncle. Is it possible to buy it with such intention?

Especially this ingenious design. When she showed the words engraved on the zipper to the people who gathered around the office to look at it, her voice of surprise sounded extremely comfortable.

There is no one in the office who has such a considerate uncle.

It would be too tacky to say that people are giving away gold or silver. There is absolutely no one sitting in this office who earns gold or silver.

But there are definitely not many people who are interested in those yellow and white things.

Now that they have reached this level, those external things are really within easy reach for them.

On the contrary, there are some things that make them feel envious and cherished, and family love and affection are one of them.

Li Xuewu is a relatively emotional person, which can be seen from his unwillingness to move out of the compound and leave his parents.

"Why are you back so late?"

It was my eldest grandma who opened the west courtyard door for Li Xuewu. When Li Xuewu came out of the garage, my eldest grandma had already closed the door and was standing at the screen door with her clothes on, waiting for Li Xuewu.

"In the evening, I went to the teacher's house with Gu Ning to have dinner. After the meal, we chatted for a while, then sent Gu Ning home and chatted there for a while."

Li Xuewu explained something to his eldest grandma, glanced in the direction of the stable, and then asked: "Have you finished feeding me at night?"

"Uh-huh"

The eldest grandma walked back with her hands behind her back and a tin bucket in her hand. Apparently she was still up so late and had gone to drink the horses.

The big green horse is my grandma's nianxiang, and I have to feed and drink it again every night.

As the saying goes, a horse will grow fat without nightfall, and this is what it means.

Li Xuewu hasn't been riding a horse to work much recently. He has a car, which is more convenient.

Another thing is that my grandmother didn’t dare to let Li Xuewu ride a horse to work in winter, for fear of falling off.

At this time, there are not a few injuries caused by riding horses every year.

Especially in the city, you might be surprised by something.

Li Xuewu followed his eldest grandma into the outer courtyard. He saw that the lights in the back room had been turned off, and only the kitchen was still lit, so he did not go into the back room.

"You go back, I'm going back to the backyard to sleep."

"Well, let's take a rest early."

"Why!"

Li Xuewu sent his eldest grandmother into the house, then walked out of the screen door and entered the second door.

At this moment, all the lights in the front yard were turned off, and only the moon was still hanging in the sky, shining light into the quiet yard.

Li Xuewu looked in the direction of his home. Everyone in his family was asleep now.

Li Shun used to read at night, and the eldest brother and his wife would read very late at night.

But since Li Shu came, Li Shun stopped reading because Li Shu would be annoying if he went to bed late.

When the eldest brother and his wife are busy at work, they rest in the house next to the school, so they usually only rest at home on Saturdays and Sundays.

After crossing the three gates, Li Xuewu walked into the middle courtyard, where there was some light.

From time to time, there is a coughing sound coming from the window at the grandpa's house. It is the voice of the grandma. It is an old problem.

The Jia family went to bed early, and only the main room was still lit at the moment.

Silly Zhu moved to the back room to sleep on the fire kang. Although Yu Yu's house was empty, He Yu Yu still took Yu Li to live in the main room.

At this moment, He Yuyu was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and going out with a flashlight. When he saw Li Xuewu coming from the front yard, he shined a light with his flashlight.

"It's Director Li"

He Yuyu's flashlight only illuminated Li Xuewu's feet, but through the reflection he could still clearly see that Li Xuewu had walked in.

Because He Yuyu was standing with a light behind his back, Li Xuewu didn't see clearly who it was, but he knew it was He Yuyu coming out by the sound.

Now that I came out with a flashlight, I must have gone to the toilet.

People in the courtyard have to go to the public toilet diagonally across from the gate to go to the toilet. Most gay men don't use flashlights.

Because it’s such a beautiful place, you won’t fall into a pit even if you close your eyes.

Another thing is that the toilet has no ceiling. When the moon is big, it is not much darker than during the day.

The women in the courtyard usually use the urinal for their little ones, and only go out with a flashlight when they need to relieve their hands.

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu responded, looked at He Yuyu's appearance, stood under the porch without going down, and asked: "Going outside?"

"Well, we are together with my sister."

Obviously, he was scared to go out with a flashlight at this time, so he was waiting for Yu Li to go out together.

Li Xuewu nodded when he saw Yuyu turned off the flashlight. As he walked towards the Moon Gate, he said in the direction of Yuyu: "Today is your birthday? Has your brother prepared something delicious for you?"

He Yuyu happened to meet Li Xuewu when he went out and said hello, but he didn't think of saying anything to Li Xuewu.

At this moment, she was a little surprised to see Li Xuewu tell her birthday, and then asked in surprise: "You...how did you know that it's my birthday today?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "You're stupid, what's your name? What's the solar term today?"

"Ah, yes!"

Only then did He Yuyu remember that he was born with rainwater, so his name was called the solar term.

But thinking that Li Xuewu could still think of himself, he couldn't help but smile and reply: "My brother made the noodles, and Sister Yu gave me the poached eggs."

As she was talking, Yu Li walked out of the door and saw Li Xuewu coming in from the direction of the courtyard entrance and walking towards the back.

"Why did you come back at this time?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yuyu and said, "Let's take a walk. Don't go outside. I'll take you to the backyard to use the toilet."

Yuyu glanced at Li Xuewu who had walked to the back of the corridor, and then whispered to Yu Li: "How embarrassing this is."

Yu Li took He Yuyu's hand down the steps and followed Li Xuewu to the backyard.

"I'm not an outsider, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Yu Li smiled and said to He Yuyu: "You don't mind the cold. I won't freeze with you at night if it's convenient."

Seeing Yu Yu, he wanted to say something else, so he took Yu Yu's hand and said, "It's just right. I have to help him clean up anyway. You are my companion. It's better to go so late than me alone."

Yu Yu looked at Yu Li and wanted to say, it's already this time, why are you still going to clean it up?

Wouldn't it be that every time he comes back, he has to wait on him until he falls asleep to finish the work? Isn't this becoming a landlord's old fortune?

Before He Yuyu could figure it out, Yu Li had already pulled her to catch up with Li Xuewu at the door of Li Xuewu's house.

"Let me borrow the bathroom."

While talking, Yu Li had already pulled He Yuyu into the house first, skillfully turned on the light switch, found slippers for He Yuyu, and then took He Yuyu to the bathroom.

When Li Xuewu entered the house, he saw that the bathroom door had been closed.

"Going out drinking again?"

Yu Li closed the bathroom door for Yu Yu, turned around and asked Li Xuewu, and helped Li Xuewu take off his outer clothes.

"Where? Let's go see the leader."

Li Xuewu didn't say much, took off his outer coat, and then took off his tunic suit and handed it to Yu Li.

"I went to the mountains today and looked at the training ground. My clothes were stained with dirt."

Yu Li also saw the dirt on Li Xuewu's clothes. If it were shaken off now, the whole house would be filled with ash.

So I can only hang it aside and wipe it with a towel after a while.

He reached out and took out the cigarettes, money bills, lighters, IDs and other items from his coat pocket and placed them on the coffee table.

After putting away the clothes, he saw Li Xuewu unbuttoning the shirt on his wrist, so he walked in front of Li Xuewu and helped Li Xuewu unload the gun from the holster.

"This thing is so heavy, can't I just take it with me?"

Yu Li casually placed the pistol on the coffee table, then went around behind Li Xuewu to help unholster the gun.

"Do you think I'm willing to take it with me?"

Li Xuewu opened his hands relaxedly. Since there was someone to help, Li Xuewu simply handed everything over to Yu Li.

This gun is Li Xuewu's last safety guarantee, and only Yu Li can touch it.

As long as she was at home, Yu Li would help put on the holster when she went out in the morning, and help Li Xuewu put the pistol in the holster.

When he came back in the evening, it was Yu Li who helped Li Xuewu take off the gun again.

Yu Li also knew Li Xuewu's character and was used to being cautious, especially after the last incident where Li's family was threatened.

Seeing Li Xuewu open his hand, obviously acting as a hands-off shopkeeper again, Yu Li gestured to Li Xuewu towards the bathroom.

"Go to the house and change by yourself~"

He reached out and patted Li Xuewu's back, and then went to the back room ahead of Li Xuewu to find a change of underwear and pajamas.

"Are you still taking a shower today?"

Yu Li asked Li Xuewu while searching in the cloakroom.

Li Xuewu walked to the back room, took off his outer pants, and stretched out his woolen pants.

Because the woolen pants were made of wool, static electricity started popping up at this moment.

“I don’t want to wash it anymore, it’s too much trouble.”

After feeling the power of static electricity, Li Xuewu told Yu Li who was walking over: "Help me think about it. When I take off my sweater and pants, keep the gun and bullets away from me."

"What's wrong?"

Yu Li put the clothes that Li Xuewu wanted to change by the kang for no apparent reason, and then picked up the clothes that Li Xuewu had taken off.

"There is static electricity"

Li Xuewu didn't know whether this thing would cause ammunition to explode. This was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.

But the hair removal service just now really shocked Li Xuewu, and his arms felt a little numb.

"Who is a big man who doesn't have static electricity on his body?"

Yu Li gave Li Xuewu an angry look, thinking that Li Xuewu was too careful, and then folded the woolen pants again and put them aside.

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at Yu Li and asked, "Who has a gun and bullets on him?"

"Okay okay"

Yu Li couldn't argue with Li Xuewu, and he was a man who cherished his life, so she had no choice but to nod and agree, as if coaxing a child.

Li Xuewu was also amused by Yu Li's expression and tone and became helpless, as if he was really childish.

Seeing Li Xuewu sighing and sitting on the edge of the kang, Yu Li smiled and said, "I already told you that I know it. You can't stop wearing woolen pants just because you're afraid of static electricity, right? What did you do in the army?"

Li Xuewu didn't go behind Yu Li's back, so he quickly changed his underwear in front of her, and then put on his pajamas.

"You can't touch the bullets when the troops are taking off their clothes."

"Besides, how can I have sweaters and pants when I'm in the army?"

After explaining this, Li Xuewu reached out and pulled off his socks, walked to the desk with his slippers on, ready to check the information and perfect the organizational outline he had drawn up.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was not sleeping and was busy again, Yu Li collected the clothes Li Xuewu had changed and walked to the living room.

At this moment, He Yuyu opened the bathroom door and walked out.

"Sister Yu"

"Uh-huh"

Yu Li hugged Li Xuewu's clothes, motioned to He Yuyu on the sofa and said, "Sit down and wait for me for a while."

"oh oh"

He Yuyu responded and sat on the sofa. When he saw Yu Li entering the bathroom, he looked towards the back room.

From this angle, you can just see Li Xuewu working on the desk.

Everyone in the courtyard said that Li Xuewu's progress was due to his great luck and was blessed by the Li family's good deeds. In fact, He Yuyu didn't believe this.

Now that I see this time and Li Xuewu is still busy, I know that there is a reason for this progress.

She knew the Li family well before. After all, they all lived in the same courtyard, and they were of the same age. They would go in and out without looking down.

But in her impression, Li Xuewu didn't study much.

Anyway, she had never seen Li Xuewu reading there honestly.

They are all his eldest brother, and his younger brother is reading at home.

Sometimes when summer passes by the front yard, all you can see are the two brothers studying in the house, but Li Xuewu cannot be seen.

But the strange thing is that Li Xuewu was able to study until he graduated from high school. This is also a strange story in the courtyard.

At that time, everyone in the courtyard said that Li Xuewu was a pity. If he had not caused trouble, the Li family would have been a college student again.

There are also superstitious people who say that the Li family's fortune is so great that even the heavens cannot tolerate it, so they can't have all the stars of Wen Qu fall into their family.

So the eldest son went to college, and the second son was a street kid who graduated from high school.

When the third eldest son of the Li family was admitted to college, the tone of the people in the courtyard changed again. They said that the ancestors of the Li family had accumulated good deeds, and not even God could stop others from having good fortune.

As for the naughty boy Li Xuewu, no one said anything because he had been driven to the south.

After He Yuyu graduated, he found a partner and spent less time in this courtyard. He almost forgot that there was a person like Li Xuewu.

But as soon as winter began this year, Li Xuewu, who re-entered everyone's field of vision, continued to bring surprises to everyone.

Especially now that he has become a cadre of the steel rolling mill, no one dares to talk about Li Xuewu and the Li family in public.

He Yuyu didn't have much contact with Li Xuewu. It was only after her brother and Li Xuewu got together that they gradually became familiar with each other.

After the few encounters with him, her impression of Li Xuewu also took a 180-degree turn.

Is the melting pot really that powerful?

Can it fundamentally change a person, change a person's character, temperament, temper, and style of life?

He Yuyu didn't know if the army really had this ability, but now he felt that Li Xuewu was mature and steady, he was kind to everyone in the courtyard, and he always looked pleasant to everyone he talked to.

Now when I see Li Xuewu looking for information, he is even more polite, and his profile with his head bowed in thought is even more focused and charming.

It is said that a focused man is the most attractive, and maybe Li Xuewu is the most attractive right now.

Yu Li quickly used her hands and feet to soak the towel in the bathroom and wring it out. When she came out, she wiped the dust off Li Xuewu's coat hanging in the entrance hall.

When He Yuyu saw Yu Li's movements, he stood up and walked over and said, "Sister Yu, let me help you. You go and do other things."

Yu Li looked in the direction of the inner room and whispered to He Yuyu: "Thank you, just wipe off the floating dust outside."

Not being polite to He Yuyu, Yu Li walked back to the bathroom to wash the clothes Li Xuewu had changed, and at the same time used the footbath to take the water for Li Xuewu's feet.

He caught the rain with a towel, shook it off, searched for the dust on his coat, and wiped it.

This coat was something she often wore when seeing Li Xuewu. It should belong to a cadre in the army, because woolen coats of this style were not common.

Especially this kind of coat with a strong military style, it looks like high-end goods at first glance.

She didn't know where Li Xuewu got such great ability. Not only this coat, she also saw Li Xuewu often wearing a leather jacket.

Coupled with the cars and recycling bin in the west courtyard, she had stayed in the reverse room for a long time, so she naturally knew that Li Xuewu was in charge of the recycling bin in the west courtyard.

Although everyone said it belonged to Li Xuewu's grandfather, he still had a clear mind: How could Li Xuewu and his grandfather buy such a large property at such an old age.

Yu Li put away the foot-washing water, carried it out into the back room, and placed it under Li Xuewu's feet.

"Move it yourself, it's a bit hot."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu agreed, looked at his feet, moved the basin under the desk with his feet, slowly stretched his feet to test the temperature of the water, and shivered involuntarily.

My feet slowly adapted to the temperature, my hands kept moving, and I continued to be busy with my work.

Knowing that Li Xuewu was cold at the moment, Yu Li walked to the kang and took a piece of clothing that Li Xuewu usually wore at home and put it on Li Xuewu's back.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was busy, he went to the bathroom to work again.

He Yuyu saw all this. Although he was surprised by Yu Li's thoughtful care, he didn't show it much when he thought of what Yu Li said.

At this time, I went to the bathroom to dry the towel, wrung it out, and then walked back to the living room to continue wiping.

After wiping the coat, He Yuyu wiped out the tunic hanging on the side.

At this moment, Yu Li washed a piece of clothing and used a bamboo clothes hanger to hang it on the shelf in the dining room.

Seeing that Yu Yu had finished wiping his clothes, he took the towel from Yu Yu's hand and whispered, "Sit down for a while. You'll be fine soon, but don't touch the gun on the coffee table. You'll be unhappy."

"knew"

Yu Yu smiled at Yu Li and sat back on the sofa. Just now she saw the pistol placed on the coffee table.

Knowing that Li Xuewu is a cadre of the security department of the steel rolling mill and a cadre of the branch, it is not surprising that he has a gun at home.

But this was the first time she had seen such an exquisite pistol. Jing Yongjie would sometimes bring a gun with her on dates. She also looked carefully and saw that it was pitch black and not as gorgeous as this one.

But even if Yu Li didn't say anything, He Yuyu wouldn't dare to shoot.

She had a natural resistance to this kind of thing, especially after seeing Jing Yongjie's fatal injury, she didn't want to touch it.

Listening to the sound of Yu Li washing clothes in the bathroom, and watching Li Xuewu working in the back room, He Yuyu suddenly understood how the two of them usually get along.

Sometimes people in the courtyard would also guess what kind of work Yu Li was doing at Li Xuewu's house, and whether there would be something wrong with being alone.

Looking at it now, He Yuyu didn't believe what the two of them could do, especially since Yu Li pulled her over tonight.

Looking at Li Xuewu's busy figure, he didn't look like that kind of person, but he was a little surprised by the tacit understanding between the two.

But this may be due to the tacit understanding the two have developed after being together for a long time, which is not surprising.

Yuyu looked at the furnishings in the room boredly. They were the same as when he came last time. There was no change, and then he looked at the things on the coffee table.

The cigarettes were quite expensive, and the lighters were also made from Western countries, but given Li Xuewu's character and what he had done, this was not unusual.

As for the notes thrown casually on the coffee table, although He Yuyu didn't earn much, he didn't take money that seriously.

So I didn't pay much attention to the stack of money tickets.

At this moment, He Yuyu looked at Li Xuewu's two certificates with curiosity.

Although she also had her own cadre certificate, He Yuyu was very curious about Li Xuewu's two books.

Seeing that Li Xuewu in the back room didn't notice this, he used the nails of his little fingers to gently open the cover of the book.

This is the work permit of Li Xuewu's security office. It is red and has a cardboard shell and white paper inside.

There was handwritten information on it. He Yuyu focused on the job title line.

Although he clearly knew what Li Xuewu's position was, he still stuck out his tongue in surprise when he saw the words deputy director.

This is really surprising, especially since the age line above it also says twenty years old.

Looking at Li Xuewu's photo again, the impression was the same as when Gu Weijie saw Li Xuewu's photo.

Li Xuewu, who looked straight into the camera, did not have a rigid face, but showed a very sunny smile.

Although there are very clear scars on Li Xuewu's face in the photo, it does not prevent He Yuyu from feeling that Li Xuewu was looking at the camera with a smile.

"Isn't he handsome?"

He Yuyu turned his head quickly and saw Yu Li standing next to him holding clothes and looking at him with a smile.

"Hehe~"

He Yuyu glanced at the back room, then pointed to Yu Li's photo of Li Xuewu with a snicker and said: "I have seen so many documents, but this is the only one where he is smiling."

"hehe"

Yu Li now also knew why He Yuyu stared at Li Xuewu's ID photo.

Considering the ridiculous things the man in the room had done, this smile for the photo was not unusual.

"Didn't you talk when you were little?"

Yu Li found a clothes hanger, stretched the shirt on her hand, and hung it in the restaurant.

Stretching both sides of the shirt with his hands, he smoothed out the wrinkles on the shirt bit by bit.

At this time, the fabric used to make shirts is like that, and it will wrinkle as soon as it is washed.

Yu Li was busy with her hands and asked He Yuyu.

Yu Yu got up and followed Yu Li into the bathroom. When he saw Yu Li washing Li Xuewu's underwear, he looked away with some embarrassment.

"Why...why are you helping him wash this?"
