Chapter 526: Call me big brother(1/5)
"How could I not know?"
Zhao Yafang sighed, and then explained softly: "Teacher Sun and the others have been talking about this for the past few days, and they still want to find you."
"When did it happen?"
Li Xuewen didn't seem to have any memories of Teacher Sun coming to see him. After his second brother explained the stakes to him, he had no private discussions with the teachers at school.
"Last week, I called you back and said you were unavailable."
Zhao Yafang frowned slightly and said: "Their ideas are very naive and unrealistic."
After commenting on several colleagues in the school, Zhao Yafang asked her husband: "My second brother said he wanted me to rest. What do you think?"
"I'm thinking about it too"
Li Xuewen said with some hesitation: "The two of us have a big target in school, and we live in school, so we can be easily targeted."
"Second brother said let's come back and live here?"
This reminded Zhao Yafang, and she asked: "Did we offend someone when we divided the house?"
"have no idea"
Li Xuewen only focused on teaching on weekdays. After being reminded by his second brother, he rarely even had contact with students.
In addition to showing up in class, he would run away after class, which made his school colleagues think something had happened.
Later, when we learned that Zhao Yafang was pregnant, everyone felt relieved.
"Then take a day off to rest."
Zhao Yafang was more straightforward than Li Xuewen and knew better about choices. Before Li Xuewen could come up with a decision, she agreed with her second brother-in-law's opinion.
Li Xuewen looked into his wife's eyes and said, "How about I take a break? You go teach."
He saw that his wife was reluctant to give up her job, so he thought about his second brother's words and decided to leave one for the time being and give this opportunity to his wife.
"What are you thinking about!"
Zhao Yafang rolled her eyes and said, "I'm pregnant and I still have reason to ask for leave. Why do you support asking for leave?"
As he spoke, he tapped Li Xuewen's belly and said, "If I can transfer the child to you, how about you also try to get pregnant?"
"I'm not doing this for you"
Li Xuewen smiled and then explained: "I don't like the current atmosphere in the school. I'm not as comfortable as you."
"I knew you were like this"
Zhao Yafang nodded her husband's forehead and said, "Do you want to take this opportunity to be lazy and read a book?"
Li Xuewen knew that he could not continue talking to his wife, otherwise he would be caught.
"Then how do we ask for leave? The school will not grant leave without a certificate from the hospital."
"You don't have to worry about this."
Zhao Yafang was sitting on a chair. When she saw her sister entering the house, she smiled and waved and asked, "Yaping, is there any fun in the city?"
“Fun”
Zhao Yaping was a little afraid of her brother-in-law who wore glasses, so she watched Li Xuewen move closer to her eldest sister.
Zhao Yafang held her sister in her arms and asked with a smile: "How about living in the city with my eldest sister?"
Zhao Yaping raised her head and looked at her eldest sister, then hesitantly shook her head and said, "I have to go back to school."
"What if I could go to school in the city?"
"But I miss my parents"
Zhao Yafang looked at her sister, smiled and touched her red headband, and said, "Did Sister Xue buy it for you?"
"Um"
Zhao Yaping nodded and replied: "The red headband is beautiful, but not even in the village."
Maybe she was a little reserved in the Li family these days, so the eldest sister felt more comfortable after she came back. Now she was chattering about what she had seen in the city.
"What did Xuewu tell you just now?"
Liu Yin just saw her eldest son and second son muttering at the door. She thought they were talking about marriage, so now she came into the house to ask.
Li Xuewen had already been told by Li Xuewu that he could not say these things to his parents, so he replied: "We are talking about marriage."
"Ask you to help?"
Liu Yin's mind is now occupied with the marriage of her second son, so she is more concerned about Li Xuewu.
"No, just chat with me."
Li Xuewen explained and picked up the book.
He has known this trick since he was a child. As long as he reads, his mother will never nag him again.
Zhao Yafang knew that Li Xuewen could not answer, but the cover-up was too blunt, so she answered: "Mom, I have discussed with Xuewen and want to take leave to raise the baby at home."
"real?"
Liu Yin naturally hoped that her eldest daughter-in-law would not be so tired. According to traditional saying, she should not be tired when she is pregnant.
But as long as you are teaching, there is nothing that is not tiring.
But she felt distressed because young people now had their own ideas, and she couldn't stop them.
But for some reason, my daughter-in-law, who has always been strong, took the initiative to take a rest.
"Is it a requirement for studying literature?"
Liu Yin asked again, and then said to Li Xuewen and Li Xuewen: "I am still young. If you want to teach the students, just don't be tired."
"No, Mom, I took the initiative to rest."
Zhao Yafang stood up and walked to her mother-in-law and whispered: "How can I not be tired from class now? I am afraid of hurting the child, so I want to ask for leave."
"well"
Liu Yin held Zhao Yafang's hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I am also worried. It is best to take a vacation."
"But mom..."
Zhao Yafang hesitated and said: "This school will not give out fake medical examination certificates without the hospital. Do you think you should tell my father?"
"Let me tell you"
Liu Yin patted Zhao Yafang's hand confidently and said, "If he can't do this, he's not really a fool."
"No"
Seeing her mother-in-law say this, Zhao Yafang felt embarrassed at first, as if she was forcing her father-in-law to lie.
Liu Yin thought clearly, comforted Zhao Yafang for a few words, and then went to the north room to talk to the old lady.
This matter concerns the first third-generation child of the Li family, so I cannot help but be cautious.
As long as the old lady agrees, even if Li Shun has objections, he must retain his opinions and implement them.
Just after dinner, Liu Yin and others came to the back room.
Li Xuewu had already told Xi Lin and the others about the luggage he wanted to prepare. Now he cleared the table, wiped the kang, and started measuring the cloth and cutting the dimensions.
The old lady was holding Li Shu, Liu Yin, Zhao Yafang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, plus Zhao Gen's family, Xilin, Yu Li and Delia, the whole room was filled with women.
Li Xuewu brought back so much cotton and cloth, not only his own, but also those that Silly Zhu begged him to buy on his behalf.
Silly Zhu knew that Li Xuewu had connections, so he didn't want to spend extra money, so he gave the money directly to Li Xuewu.
Since I haven’t bought the quilt cover yet, I’ll just use wadding today.
If there are too many women, if one of them says a word, there will be no room for them in this room.
Li Xuewu didn't come to this room at all. After eating in the east room, he went to the backyard.
As soon as the curtains were closed, my father and eldest brother entered the room.
Li Xuewu guessed why his father came.
"Did you tell dad?"
"without"
When Li Xuewen saw his second brother asking him, he shook his head and said, "Your sister-in-law told mom that she wanted to take a vacation, and mom and Nai told dad."
After Li Xuewu got his eldest brother's explanation, he came over with a thermos bottle and tea leaves and made tea for his father and eldest brother.
Scenes like this between the three fathers and sons are relatively rare. Neither the father nor the eldest brother are talkative, and Li Xuewu himself is not very suitable.
After the tea was brewed, Li Shun frowned and asked, "Why do you think of letting your sister-in-law take a vacation?"
"Well, that's what I said."
Li Xuewu nodded, sat hunched over on the sofa, thought for a moment and said to his father and elder brother: "Listen to the wind, the situation is not good."
"Will it cause trouble at school?"
