Chapter 201 The ceremony(2/3)
Shen Fang tapped Li Xuewu with a pen and said, "Looking at how you are dressed, I can treat you as my uncle. Hey, what are you doing with those in the detention room?"
Li Xuewu took out a cigarette, shook out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it with the match Shen had placed, and said, "Let it dry! What? Someone begged for mercy? Otherwise, I'd better take him away."
Shen Fang fastened the cap of his pen, raised his eyebrows, and said domineeringly, "I am bound to win this time. Shen Fang is determined to eat this piece of cake, even if I come to ask for mercy."
Li Xuewu flicked the ashes in the ashtray in front of Shen Fang and said, "There is a saying in the Mahayana Buddhist classic "The Avatamsaka Sutra" that you can only achieve success by not forgetting your original intention. It is easy to get the original intention, but it is difficult to keep it forever."
"Okay, I caught the fish, feel free to eat it, you decide how you want to eat it, I'm leaving."
After Li Xuewu said this pun, he put on his gloves and went out, leaving Shen Fang staring at the two big carps.
Shen Fang has understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, "I caught the fish", which means that Li Xuewu takes the initiative; "Eat with confidence" means that he is willing to share the credit with Shen Fang; "How do you eat it yourself?" "Decision" means that the credit has been given to you. It depends on you what to do, whether you want to eat it or not, and whether you are willing to follow Li Xuewu.
Shen Fang has also been in the "official career" for several years. Of course he can understand Li Xuewu's words, but sometimes he is a little confused about the routine of Li Xuewu's words. He feels that Li Xuewu's words are unpredictable, like an old agency. , after thinking about Li Xuewu’s age, I felt that Li Xuewu was really a monster.
Li Xuewu caught up with the carriage and returned home. When he entered the west courtyard, the big truck parked in the courtyard this morning had already driven away. Li Xuewu unloaded the truck against the wall and, with the help of his eldest grandma, took the fish. He carried it into the reverse sitting room.
At this time, Wen San'er and the others hadn't come back yet. Li Xuewu was anxious about something, so he carried two large white buckets and packed 9 fishes into the yard before heading to the courtyard.
I went to my home first. As soon as I entered the house, I saw Ji Yuxiu sitting at the table chatting with Li Xuecai and Li Xue.
"Yuxiu is here?"
Seeing Li Xuewu come in, Ji Yuxiu and others were very happy. Liu Yin looked good, maybe he had a guest, so he didn't say anything, took Li Xuewu's fish and put it in the big basin.
Li Xuewu pointed to the three fish in the basin and said, "It's better to come early than to come by chance. Those who see you will have a share. When I go home later, I will take the two 3-pound fish with me to eat fresh."
Ji Yuxiu looked at the three fish in the big basin and said in surprise, "You went fishing. Why didn't you tell me earlier? We'll go with you. Today we just walked around the Dong'an used book market. It's not interesting."
Li Xuewu didn't dare to take this curious baby out, so he said perfunctorily, "Next time, definitely next time, you guys just have fun first, I have something else to do, I have to go out soon."
Li Xuewu said hello to his mother and walked to the backyard. There was no one in his eldest brother's house. It seemed that he hadn't come back yet.
Carrying the remaining 6 fish, I entered the house in the backyard. The house was quite lively. My grandma was holding Li Shu and sitting on the sofa. Li Shu was making gestures to several people, saying "baaaaah" and saying something.
Qin Huairu was sitting on the sewing machine by the fireplace, tying up the white sand curtains. Auntie and Yu Li were standing by the sofa, cutting fabrics. Seeing Li Xuewu come in, everyone looked over, and Li Shu looked at her.
He shouted twice.
Li Xuewu placed the two buckets of fish at the door and said, "I went out to do some errands and got some fish on the way. They are all fresh. When you leave later, there will be two for each of you. I won't treat you all to dinner."
,Thank you very much for your help today.”
The eldest mother glanced at the old lady and said with a smile, "I'm just doing you a favor, why are you taking fish? Why are you so polite, Xuewu?"
Yu Li also said embarrassedly, "I'm even more embarrassed. I left early this morning. I really didn't know."
Li Xuewu saw his bicycle parked in front of his house. Yu Li said this, obviously knowing about the accident at his house last night, she was very embarrassed and complained that she should not have borrowed the car.
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Our family has already decided to split up. I'm already preparing to clean up the new home. It's okay. My sister-in-law and I have a little misunderstanding. I made her anxious."
"Don't worry too much. It's been a long day helping me. This fish is what you deserve."
see li
When Xuewu said this, Qin Huairu smoothed things over and said, "I have to take what you gave me. I have been tired for a whole day. One kang quilt, two sets of quilts, and a thick door curtain have exhausted us. Do you see?
There are only two sets of curtains left. Let’s try to finish them before dinner, and those few fish will be considered as our hard work.”
The eldest mother smiled and said, "As you can tell, you are used to doing any manual work, so there is nothing to be tired of."
The old lady was holding Li Shu, and when she saw Li Shu reaching out to grab Li Xuewu, she hugged him and walked beside her, coaxing and saying, "Xuewu is not polite to ask you for help, so you should not be polite to Xuewu, here you go, just take it.
this is necessary"
Li Xuewu stood at the door and said, "That's right, that's right. Thank you for your hard work. I have something else to do. Just close the door for me when you're done."
The aunt said, "Go and do your work. We'll clean up for you before we leave."
Li Xuewu thanked him, nodded to the old lady and left the house. Before he had walked a few steps, he heard Qin Huairu calling him from behind.
"Xuewu, Banggeng bought the rooster and put it in the chicken coop."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I may be busy these days and may not be able to come back at night. You are close to my house, so take care of me. You can help me with the curtains and other things. I have to leave now."
There are several relationships, and time is really tight.”
When Qin Huairu saw that Li Xuewu was in trouble, he said, "Then go and do your work. I'll help you clean up here." .??.
Li Xuewu pointed to the two white buckets at the door and said, "Don't forget the fish, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. When he reached the middle courtyard, he saw Li Xuecai leading Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu to the back.
Seeing Li Xuewu coming over, Li Xuecai said, "Second brother, I took Sister Yuxiu to visit your new house."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "We are making curtains. It's a mess. Go and take a look if you want. Yuxiu will come here to play often. My younger brothers and sisters are all well-behaved and rarely make good friends."
Ji Yuxiu watched Li Xuewu hurriedly come out of the backyard and asked, "Li Suo, you are really busy with something. If it's inconvenient, I won't go and see you."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "We are of the same age, so just call me Li Xuewu in private. My grandma is in the backyard, so you can just go and have a look. She just happens to be able to give me some suggestions. Let me know when I come back."
As he spoke, he also said to Li Xuecai, "Take Yuxiu to have a good time, and let your brother Biao and brother Guodong go with you to see off Yuxiu tonight."
After explaining his brother, he said to Ji Yuxiu, "I really have something to do today, and I really can't spare the time to accompany you. I have to go to some important places in a while. Yuxiu, please have dinner at home and let Xuecai and
My brother will send you back”
Without waiting for Ji Yuxiu to say anything else, she waved her hand and said, "That's it." Then she went to the outer courtyard.
Li Xuecai was very happy to hear his second brother's arrangement. The beautiful young lady in front of him was the one he admired. He was grateful to his second brother for creating opportunities for him, and guided Ji Yuxiu to the backyard with his hands.
Li Xuewu went into the house and changed into clean clothes, washed his hands and face, selected three pieces of leather from the small warehouse and packed them in three bags, and also selected six large carp, packed them in three bags, and carried them on his bicycle.
on both sides and in the front basket.
Pushing the car, I walked towards the west courtyard. I wanted to go around and go out through the gate of the west courtyard.
When I arrived in the west courtyard, I saw my grandma moving the saddle, and the fishing gear was still on the cart.
"Xue Wu, where did this saddle come from?"
When his grandma asked, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I know you like this thing, so I bought it for you. If you have time, you must match this saddle with the same stirrups, otherwise it won't be used."
The eldest grandma liked this thing very much. She carried it to Li Xuewu's side and was reluctant to put it on the ground.
"This is a rare thing. It costs a lot of money. I'll pick it up for you. You can use it, but I can't use it. I can't get on the horse with my old arms and legs."
Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the set of fishing rods on the car and said, "When you have time, you can go to Haizi. There are many old men fishing. Go and chat with them."
The eldest grandma waved her hands and said, "I don't like this. Come on, I'll pack it up for you and put it in the small warehouse. You can go and do your business."
Li Xuewu saw his eldest grandma going to the opposite house, so he got on the car and went to his godmother's house. He was an adult now, and he had to pay homage when he established a family.
It was Sunday, and Director Wang and his wife were both at home.
When Li Xuewu saw that the door was unlocked, he entered the courtyard. When he entered the house carrying two bags, the couple were preparing to cook.
"Hey, Xuewu is here, come in quickly, why don't you stay at home in this cold weather?"
Li Xuewu put the bag of fish on the ground at the door, took the bag of skins and handed it to his godmother, saying, "I went to the Northeast to get some skins some time ago. I'll give you one. You can make a waistcoat for yourself."
"Something like that"
After talking to his godmother, he then said to Zheng Shusen, "I went to prepare some fish today. They are fresh. I will bring you two. You two can have a try. They are fish from our Kunming Lake."
Zheng Shusen waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to get fish in this cold weather. I'll just keep it for myself and eat it. I'm still thinking about us, the old couple."
Seeing Zheng Shusen telling him to sit down, Li Xuewu took out a cigarette and lit it for his godfather, then lit it for himself, and then said, "My brother and sister are not here with you. If I don't think about you two elders anymore, then you guys will really succeed."
I’m an empty nester now.”
The godmother looked at the leather in her hand and said, "How old are your father and I? Even if we are old people, don't keep bringing things here. You have just gone to work. Not to mention, this leather is really good, just right."
Make a vest for your dad. Your dad will complain that his shoulder hurts when he catches cold."
Li Xuewu chuckled and didn't say whether he would take it or not. He chatted with Zheng Shusen about a cigarette. When he saw his godmother getting up to make fish, he quickly put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and waved his hand.
"Mom, I'm not here to eat. I have something to do later. If something really happens, I won't pretend to be like you."
That's how it is in Siqiu City. It's winter and the whole family doesn't go to work. Just two meals, one at ninety o'clock in the morning and one at three or four in the afternoon. Firstly, it saves food, and secondly, it saves trouble.
Son, too lazy to fire.
Li Xuewu stood up as he spoke, and said to Zheng Shusen who stood up to send me off. "Dad, please don't send me off. Keep the house warm and don't let it get cold. There's an evil wind blowing today, and it's going to be dangerous."
It’s snowing heavily. Before you go out tomorrow morning, drink some of the medicinal wine I sent last time. Take care of your body and bones. Don’t take it seriously. You must have a good body to do your work. This is the capital.”
Zheng Shusen is also an uncompromising boss in the work unit. He has a serious face all day long. Not to mention that he is afraid of others, but no one dares to joke with Zheng Shusen. But now he is being "disciplined" by the "verbose" Li Xuewu.
He couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only nod his head.
The old couple was alone, and they also liked such filial and "nagging" children, especially Li Xuewu, who really regarded the old couple as relatives and cared about them. He had no evil intentions and his character of saying whatever he wanted made them attracted
human eyes.
Director Wang stood at the door and looked at Li Xuewu, who was wearing a hatband, and said, "What kind of character is your dad? How could he go to work smelling of alcohol? The heater in the unit is neither hot nor squeaking, and he didn't even mention it when he got home."
Li Xuewu laughed "hehe" and said, "My dad still thinks he is a young man. Come on, I'm leaving. By the way, mom, don't do it yourself when buying coal or gas at home. If you need any hard work, just call me or call me."
The Biaozi and the others in the recycling bin are not far away, so it’s their own children’s turn to give them orders.”
Zheng Shusen waved his hand at Director Wang and said, "What are you telling your children about? They are all stored at home. There is no hard work to do. If you are busy learning martial arts, go ahead and do it. Please ride slower on the road."
"My own son, I would like to say that you should stay in the house and don't come out. I'll go and send him to learn martial arts."
