Li Xuewu nodded in response to his wife's instructions, said hello to Dong Wenxue and Ren Xiaoyu, said goodbye to Sister Xie and his wife, and went out.

It was completely dark outside now, but the wind was blowing. Only some wind fibers were still there, stirring the fallen leaves. Li Xuewu pushed the car out of the courtyard, pedaled the car and turned on the electric motorcycle light.

It was only a quarter past four, but the road could no longer be seen clearly. Except for the lights of various houses, it was extremely dark. Perhaps it was because of the thick clouds in the sky that no light could be seen.

There is no such thing as light pollution at this time. Li Xuewu's biggest experience after arriving in this era is that it is really dark at night. It is so dark that if there is no moon, you can't walk without turning on the light. It is not like what will be seen in later generations.

The city is filled with colorful lights in the sky at night, like a large-scale landslide.

There were no pedestrians on the road, so Li Xuewu kicked his legs quickly and rode the bicycle at the speed of a motorcycle.

When Li Xuewu went out from his teacher's house, he felt light snowflakes falling in the sky, which hit his eyelids with ice cold. He was really afraid that riding on the road would make him worse. It was more strenuous than riding a bicycle in the rain.

I rode home quickly and parked the car in the west courtyard. I said hello to the old man who was chopping firewood in the yard and walked to the backyard. ??

"Are you all back? From now on, if it's windy or snowy, take a break and try not to go out as much as possible. Also, the kang will be a little warmer tonight. It's going to snow heavily today."

The snow in the north is not afraid of falling quickly. You don’t need to be afraid of the kind that crashes for a while. It’s not heavy. Just be afraid of the current kind. First there are strong and evil winds waiting for you, and then the wind blows. It’s quiet for a while, but dark clouds are over the city, and there are light snowflakes.

Here it is for you, just take a look, it won’t stop until the next day or two. Sometimes when you go out, the door is sealed with snow.

If the house is not kept warm and enough firewood is prepared, it will be freezing tomorrow morning. Not only will it be cold, but it will also have to be chopped in the snow.

Lao Biaozi shouted to Li Xuewu, "Brother Wu, a girl came to see you just now and said she was your friend. She should be at your house now."

Li Xuewu stopped and turned around and asked, "Isn't she the girl who came earlier? Here comes another one?"

Lao Biaozi stared blankly and said, "There is another one? I don't know. He was the one who entered the courtyard with me when I came back just now. He asked you where you were, so I pointed him to the backyard."

Li Xuewu frowned, waved his hand to Lao Biaozi and said, "I understand, just go about your business." After saying that, he walked into the courtyard.

As soon as they walked to the front yard, they saw Lin Tingting walking out of the door with a stiff face amidst Liu Yin's plea. Seeing Li Xuewu come back, several people at the door were stunned.

Liu Yin was the first to speak, "Xuewu, this is your friend. She said she came to see you. I left her waiting for you for a while, but she wanted to leave anyway. You just came back. Please let her in quickly."

The three aunts across the street stood at the door and looked surprised. The old Li family was really lucky today. The older girls were coming one after another.

Lin Tingting looked at Li Xuewu complicatedly, wanting to wait for an explanation from Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu also looked at Lin Tingting complicatedly, also wanting an explanation.

Seeing the stalemate between the two, Liu Yin seemed to understand something and said to Li Xuewu, "Huairu just said when she came to cook that the house in your backyard has been cleaned up. Go over and take a look, and take Tingting with you."

have a look"

Obviously Lin Tingting also introduced her situation at Li Xuewu's house. With Liu Yin's character, it is impossible for a big girl to come to the house at this time without "interrogating" her. Now that she has called Tingting, her understanding of Lin Tingting is also the same.

Quite a few.

Li Xuewu agreed and said, "I understand, Mom."

After saying that, he asked Lin Tingting, "When did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could wait for you at home?"

Seeing Li Xuewu taking the initiative to speak, Lin Tingting also said, "I've just arrived a while ago. If you have something to do, please go ahead and talk about it later."

Seeing that the "duck" in her hand was about to fly, Liu Yin pulled Li Xuewu and said, "What can happen to him? The house in his backyard has just been renovated. Isn't it making curtains and quilts? Come and take a look."

Just have some time to chat.”

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows towards the backyard and said, "Stay a little longer, I'll take you to see the new house."

Li Xuewu's words about the new house also broke the deadlock between the two. After thinking about it, Lin Tingting said hello to Liu Yin and followed Li Xuewu to the backyard.

Liu Yin went to Li Xuewu's house in the afternoon to help. There was always something going on at home, so she came back from time to time. Even though she said that last night, she couldn't ignore her son no matter how much he let go.

Just when I came back to get my things, I saw a big girl coming to my house. Not to mention she was pretty, and her cheerful and generous personality was very popular. When I heard that she was here to see Li Xuewu, I happily dragged the girl along.

The hands kept chatting.

This girl is much more stable than the child-like girl who came in the afternoon, and is a perfect candidate for my daughter-in-law.

Liu Yin was even more satisfied when she learned that the girl in front of her worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she was in the supply and marketing cooperative on the street. Lin Tingting also knew that this was her future mother-in-law, so when Liu Yin asked, Lin Tingting answered truthfully, and the two chatted.

It's pretty good.

Lin Tingting satisfied Liu Yin in every way, and she complained in her heart that Li Xuewu didn't even know to tell her family that she was in such a good relationship. Now that the girls have come to her house, she found out. She blamed her son for hiding it, but she was also happy for her son.

, after suffering so much, I finally found a suitable girl.

Just a few minutes before Li Xuewu came back, Mrs. Li came back from the backyard with Li Shu in her arms. When she went into the house, she saw her daughter-in-law and introduced her grandson-in-law. The old lady scolded Li Xuewu and told Lin Tingting to sit and wait for him.

After a while, he might be back. After explaining, he took Li Shu into the back room.

Lin Tingting knew that Li Xuewu had an older brother, and thought it was his brother's child, but then she remembered that his brother had only been married for a few months, so she asked about the child thoughtfully.

Both Liu Yin and the old lady were a little embarrassed, but the Li family's tutor was like this. When she saw that Lin Tingting didn't know about this child, she knew that Li Xuewu hadn't told her yet, and Liu Yin didn't hide it either, she just said that this was Li Xuewu's child.

After saying this, before Liu Yin could explain, Lin Tingting's expression changed. She covered her mouth with tears and said hello and hurried out. No matter how Liu Yin persuaded her, she refused to stay and walked out of the door.

As soon as he went out, he met Li Xuewu when he came back, which made Liu Yin want to lure her son and the two to the backyard in order to let her son clarify the misunderstanding.

If there is no sycamore tree, it will not attract the golden phoenix. Let the daughter-in-law look at the house and talk about the children.

Li Xuewu had already gotten the hint from his mother's eyes and knew what was going on. He gave her a reassuring look and asked, "Is Ji Yuxiu going back?".

When Liu Yin saw her son asking the girl in front of Lin Tingting, it must be okay, so she replied, "I went back. I saw it was getting dark and went back. It was your grandfather who followed the example and drove the carriage back. Now it's still there."

Not back yet”

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I know about Ji Yuxiu's family. They are in good condition. They work in the institute. I think they get along well with Xucai. Please be more careful."

When Liu Yin saw that the girl her son was talking about was the one she was introducing to Xuecai, she smiled and hit Li Xuewu and said, "Xuecai will graduate in three years. You'd better care more about yourself."

As Liu Yin spoke, she glanced at Lin Tingting and turned her head away in embarrassment.

Li Xuewu chuckled and said a few words to his mother before taking Lin Tingting to the backyard.

On the way, Lin Tingting listened absently to Li Xuewu's introduction to the layout of the compound. It wasn't until she passed the moon gate in the backyard and saw the new house that Li Xuewu mentioned that she felt better.

At this moment, Li Xuewu's house was still burning the stove. The old lady was watching just now, so the lights were not turned off. Standing outside and looking in, there was an eight-pane window with incandescent light. At this time, the electricity bill

It is not charged according to the electricity meter, but according to the light bulbs. You will be charged according to the number of light bulbs in your home.

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't charge according to the wattage anymore, he installed large 200-watt bulbs in all the lights in the house. When the lights were turned on, the house would be brightly illuminated.

Li Xuewu lifted the curtain, pushed open the door, and let Lin Tingting in.

Lin Tingting saw that the layout of Li Xuewu's new house had an entrance hall. The design was novel and the style was pretty, so she walked in excitedly.

As soon as I entered the house, I discovered the unusualness of the new house, with clean and tidy floor tiles, simple sofas, rare fireplaces, clever kitchen and bathroom designs, especially the design of the dining room, which is spacious and has a window to see through.

Light.

"How about it? It's still eye-catching, right?" Li Xuewu took off his hat and scarf and put them on the table at the door, and asked Lin Tingting who was standing in the room.

Seeing Li Xuewu's question, Lin Tingting, who was still excited, slowly became depressed. She looked at the brand-new curtains, the design of one white and one dark, the clever hollow flower patterns on the curtain boxes, and then looked at the furniture and furnishings in the back room. Lin Tingting

I felt like my heart was filled with panic, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Li Xuewu scratched his head when he saw Lin Tingting starting to shed tears. He walked over and pulled Lin Tingting, trying to make her sit on the sofa. However, Lin Tingting stubbornly shook off Li Xuewu's hand and just stood in the middle of the living room weeping.

Li Xuewu used all his strength to bring Lin Tingting to the sofa and sit down. He poured hot water into a cup from the thermos bottle on the tea cabinet and placed it in front of Lin Tingting.

"Even if you are sad, you have to wait for me to finish explaining. If you are sentenced to death, you have to give the condemned prisoner a chance to speak."

Lin Tingting looked at Li Xuewu sitting next to her, wiped her tears and said nothing, but her expression was waiting for Li Xuewu's explanation.

Li Xuewu told the story of the child from beginning to end, and also talked about his parents' attitudes and the raising of the child.

When Lin Tingting heard this, she wanted to understand why Li Xuewu had a child before he was old enough. Then she put away her tears, but she was still complaining about Li Xuewu, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Why are you hiding it from me?"

Li Xuewu pushed the water cup on the coffee table to Lin Tingting's hand and said, "I have only been back for a few days. I have no time. I have something to do every day. The child has also been arranged by someone in the past few days. It has not been decided yet."

What should I tell you? Besides, you also have a rough personality and don’t look at the child carefully. My daughter has yellow hair and blue eyes. How did I give birth to her?"

Lin Tingting burst into tears and smiled, and said sternly, "What's the point of looking carefully? Who knows if you had a child with a foreign girl?"

Li Xuewu was a little tired, so he leaned back on the sofa and said, "I really want a beautiful foreign woman. Marrying one will bring glory to the country, but you have to meet her. Do you recognize her? Help me."

"Introduction"

When Lin Tingting saw that Li Xuewu was talking nonsense to her again, she stood up angrily and was about to leave.

"You go find your beautiful foreign girl, I'm leaving"

Li Xuewu hurriedly grabbed Lin Tingting's hand, pulled it back hard and pressed it on the sofa.

"Why are you so ignorant? I'm kidding you. Where can I find a beautiful foreign girl? If I really get a yellow-haired girl, my father will break my legs with a big stick."

Lin Tingting was pressed on the sofa by Li Xuewu. She couldn't get up even thinking about it. She could only say angrily, "You don't dare to look for foreign beauties because you are afraid that your father will beat you. So you still want to look for her. Just go find her."

Seeing that Lin Tingting was about to get up again, Li Xuewu quickly coaxed, "Don't look for me, don't look for me. My mother has already stamped you. You are my mother's chosen daughter-in-law. I don't think my mother has chosen her."

you"

Lin Tingting looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Aren't you looking for a big beauty?"

Li Xuewu said seriously that he "won't look for it anymore."

Lin Tingting shook Li Xuewu's hand and said, "Let go of me, I won't leave."

Li Xuewu then let go of Lin Tingting's hand, and when he saw Lin Tingting standing up and walking to the bedroom, he followed him.

Lin Tingting walked into the bedroom and looked at the desk, then at the chair, then opened the wardrobe and looked around. Finally, she sat on the heated bed covered with a quilt, feeling the warmth of the heated bed. She also saw that the edges of the heated bed were all made of new wood.
