"No, it's too much trouble to clean up. Your dad and I will live in the west wing of the front yard. I used to live there before. The house has everything, but it's just a little small."
Li Qiaoyun shook his head and rejected his daughter's arrangement.
"Okay, it's up to you. Since there are many houses, I'll go and tidy up the house."
"Yueyue, if you change all the sheets and quilts in that house, there will be clean ones in the cabinet."
"I know, Dad Chu."
"Uncle, aunt, you two live here too, right?"
"We're not living together anymore, we're going to go to a nursing home for a while." Uncle Wang shook his head.
"I just came over. I asked you to come over tomorrow to talk. Then you don't have to come over tomorrow. Let's go to the study."
…
"Uncle Li"
After a lively dinner, the old man and the old lady were about to rest for a while before leaving. Zhang Jianshe ran over to find Li Chu.
"Construction, are you full?"
"I'm full, uncle. I want to tell you something."
"What's wrong? Tell me."
"The chief came to talk to me that day. He wanted me to change my job and arrange my work well, but I don't want to leave him. Can you help me talk to the chief."
"What? Don't you want to change your job?"
"Uncle, to put it mildly, I don't worry about others following the leader."
Ever since the special care drug stealing incident happened, Zhang Jianshe was beaten up by his father. From then on, he began to doubt everything.
Including the special care sent by the Health Bureau now, they have no access to the medicine Li Chu gave me that the two elders usually take.
Not only that, he was worried that he might make mistakes sometimes, so he also borrowed books from Li Chu to learn those Chinese medicines on his own, which was indeed a great effort.
Moreover, ever since he and his mother moved from Dongshan to Sijiu City more than 20 years ago, started training with his father, and later joined the army as a soldier, he had only one goal, which was to serve as a guard for the old man.
Later, when this goal was achieved, he changed it to being like his father, determined to work until the day he couldn't do it anymore.
Now that he was suddenly asked to change his job, it was equivalent to breaking his second goal, which was a bit difficult for him to accept.
Li Chu thought for a while and nodded: "I understand, I will tell the chief."
"Thank you, uncle!" Upon hearing Uncle Li's agreement, Zhang Jianshe's face was filled with an innocent smile like a child.
He was very aware of the importance of Uncle Li in front of him in the chief's heart, and he also understood that as long as this man was willing to say a word, he would be more effective than the chief's son.
"Take care of the two elders!" Li Chu raised his hand and patted Zhang Jianshe's arm.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm here."
After turning around, he went into the living room and called Uncle Wang out and told him about it.
"Uncle, Jianshe just came to see me."
"What? Let you be the lobbyist? You little brat." The old man laughed and shook his head.
Helping Uncle Wang sit on the stone bench in the yard, he also sat aside.
"I think it's better not to change the staff around you in the past few years. I don't trust others. If you insist on changing, then I will have to do it myself."
Upon hearing his words, the old man's originally dull eyes immediately became sharp.
"Xiao Chu, do you know something?"
"Uncle, I don't know anything. I only know that the people around me, those who love me and those whom I love, should be well."
Li Chu faced Uncle Wang calmly, with a faint smile always on his face.
"My wings have become stronger, and now I have begun to arrange my affairs."
"Uncle, what you said is that there are only two paths, you can choose one."
"Do you think you are better than those guards?"
"How about I call Jian Jian over and we can practice in front of you?"
"Smelly boy" Uncle Wang suddenly laughed and stretched out his finger to point at his nephew.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and let Jianshe stay. In fact, I just talked to him that day to see if he had any plans to leave. I didn't really ask him to change his job now."
"The body he built is better than Brother Meng. After all, unlike Brother Meng, he still has hidden wounds from the war. There is no problem in continuing to serve you for another twenty or thirty years."
"Twenty or thirty years? You can really say that. I can't say whether it will be by then."
"Aren't you here because of me? I don't agree with you leaving, and it won't be easy for you even if the Lord of Hell comes."
"Just brag. If you can make me survive past 1997, just go over there and have a look."
"Your requirements are too low, and it seems like I have no ability."
"Don't be poor here with me." Uncle Wang laughed and scolded Li Chu.
"This time Qiaoyun will leave it to you, Xiaochu."
"Uncle, you treat me like an outsider, don't you? You need to say this."
"Okay, no more. By the way, will Qiaoyun's unexpected pregnancy affect your trip to the prairie in July?"
"I will adjust my time according to her physical condition. Uncle, does the old man have no plans to go out recently?"
Li Chu gestured to the west.
"If you ask me, who will go? They won't report their work plans to me. But normally, they won't during this period."
"That's fine. These two months are more critical for Qiaoyun. I'd better not leave."
"Well, when you have a mission, you have to stick to it first. This is all our private matter." Uncle Wang warned with some worry.
"I know, uncle, I will arrange the time."
…
In the room where Li Qiaoyun lived in the front yard, Wang Yueyue sat by the bed, looked at her mother who was already lying on the bed, and asked cautiously: "Mom, have you and your father always wanted a boy?"
"Yueyue, how come you have such an idea?" Li Qiaoyun looked at her daughter in surprise and asked.
"If this were not the case, I really can't imagine why you persisted when you knew that if you wanted this child, an accident would probably happen."
"I..." For a moment, Li Qiaoyun didn't know how to answer her daughter's question.
"Yueyue, don't talk nonsense." Ding Qiunan opened the door and walked in.
"Qiunan's mother, I..."
"We'll talk about it later when we go out. Let your mother rest first. Qiaoyun, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I will explain it clearly to Yueyue."
"Qiu Nan, I'll leave it to you."
"Well, don't worry, don't think too much. Your current task is to eat well, sleep well, take care of yourself and leave the rest to us."
Ding Qiunan walked to the bedside, took Li Qiaoyun's hand and patted it, then gently put it down, then took Wang Yueyue's arm and walked out.
"Yueyue, the reason why your mother wants to give birth to this child has nothing to do with whether she wants a boy or a girl."
Wang Yueyue said nothing. She stood in the yard and looked at her mother-in-law with her big eyes twinkling, waiting for her to continue.
"Do you love Wenxuan? Yueyue."
"certainly"
"Then do you still want to give him another child?"
