"What is this? A wedding invitation?"
Li Xuewu raised his head with a smile, looked at Qin Huairu who looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Is it finally settled?"
"I'm not in a hurry, he is."
Qin Huairu was indeed very uncomfortable, and she hesitated for a long time facing Li Xuewu.
Should this wedding invitation be given to him, or should she deliver it personally?
What she was hesitating about and struggling about was even known to her mother-in-law. Who else could she hide it from?
"Then he should be anxious." Li Xuewu's teasing tone couldn't be more obvious, "A good wife is hard to find."
Who was the first to get anxious? Qin Huairu really didn't dare to argue with Li Xuewu here.
Also, pay attention to the words Li Xuewu used here. He is not talking about a good woman, but a good daughter-in-law.
Regardless of whether Qin Huairu is a good woman or not, as a daughter-in-law, she is indeed worthy of Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi and the three children of the Jia family.
It has been almost two years since then, and due to Li Xuewu's relationship, she has been hesitating and making up her mind again and again.
She is thirty-two years old and no longer has the confidence to waste time. Considering her current situation, she wants to settle down as soon as possible.
"You will ridicule me--"
She didn't dare to be too casual with Li Xuewu now, but she still scolded him capriciously.
Then he pointed to the invitation on the table and said, "Just in our compound, neighbors who are familiar with us, come and have a seat."
"Okay, I will definitely be there." Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I wish you a happy wedding."
"Is there happiness in marriage?"
Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile. She could always hear some fun things from Li Xuewu that no one else could express.
At this time, people congratulate the couple on their marriage, wish them unity, family progress, happiness, loyalty and unity, but no one says happy marriage.
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to her teasing. After seeing her leave, he looked at the red wedding invitation in his hand again, shook his head slightly, and put it in the drawer on his right.
The weather has become really cold since November. This year, the factory's heat pipelines have been reorganized and rerouted to reduce unnecessary heat loss.
There is a very obvious change. Whether in the office or the dormitory area, you can no longer make omelets on the radiator.
Of course, if you stuff a damp insole into the gap, the Huba will no longer be dry and toasty.
When Peng Xiaoli was his secretary, he was attentive but always busy.
He likes to choose wool insoles, but they shrink by one size after being dried once.
Now that she doesn’t have a full-time secretary, Wang Lu can’t remember so many details of his life and has to do everything herself.
Don't blame others, this was his own choice.
"Leader, are you going to do it?"
It was the hairy rabbit secretary Wang Lu. She always asked jaw-dropping questions, making Li Xuewu a little nervous.
Don't get me wrong, she was holding a cup of tea and a towel in her hand, and she was asking if the air was dry.
"Leave it there, I'll do it myself."
Li Xuewu was reading the proofread manuscript of "Defending Industry". This time he still chose the Iron and Steel Institute Press. Han Shu told him that the school was also in a difficult situation now.
On the one hand, there are difficulties in administrative management. Although the three representatives have connections with the Workers' Propaganda Team, they are ultimately constrained and it is difficult to take effective action in policy.
On the other hand, there are financial difficulties, which is a common problem faced by all universities at present.
Teaching costs money, scientific research costs money, construction costs money, and even if there is no construction, daily maintenance costs money.
Han Shu is not in charge of logistics, but she can feel the school's difficulties from her own welfare benefits.
The school publisher may not make much money from Li Xuewu's book, but even a small profit is still meat.
After all, he is a student of the school, and it is his duty to support the school's development.
Red Star Steel Group also has its own publishing house, which is also suitable in terms of industrial attributes.
Li Xuewu knew without even thinking that it was inappropriate and would reduce the value of the book.
Of course, the publishing house is willing to publish books for the group leader. Not to mention that the quality of Li Xuewu's books and his creative ability will not be questioned, even if they are just filling in the numbers, they are willing to flatter him.
Unfortunately, Li Xuewu really didn't want to give them the opportunity to flatter him.
“You never remember to water the flowers.”
Wang Lu put down the teapot and towel in her hand, picked up the kettle next to the tea cabinet to get water with a slightly angry tone.
In the group, perhaps Wang Lu is the only one who can criticize him so unscrupulously.
I really have to thank her, otherwise Li Xuewu would have become proud and complacent. It was she who made Li Xuewu realize that he could still be a disobedient child.
Is it wrong for Li Xuewu to say that she always says shocking things?
He was sure that Wang Lu had done it unintentionally and was criticizing him for being lazy about the flowers and plants in the office.
But after hearing this, Li Xuewu felt something was not right. Didn’t he water the flowers?
The key point is that he doesn't grow those flowers. It's possible to water them when he has time, but if he does it for a long time, not only will he not have the time, but his body won't be able to bear it either.
"Anything interesting happened recently?"
Li Xuewu was just making small talk; he didn't want to be hit left and right by Wang Lu.
Wang Lu raised her hand, put away the watering can, looked back at him, and said thoughtfully: "Well, interesting thing - does everyone want a house?"
"Just saying it casually." Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at her with amusement and said, "It is the secretary's responsibility and obligation to report current events to the leader in a timely manner. Don't you understand?"
"You didn't ask me to find out—"
Wang Lu shrugged and said seriously, "Let me talk about the house first?"
Seeing that Li Xuewu lowered his head and ignored her, she started talking to herself, with her hands not idle.
The Secretary-General’s office is not big, at least not as big as the Deputy Director’s office.
It is even more incomparable to Li Xuewu’s previous office, so there are not many green plants that can be displayed.
“I don’t know who first spread the news, but more than a dozen buildings in the Workers’ New Village have topped out.”
She reached out and picked off the bad leaves, and said nonchalantly, "I guess it's from the engineering department or the construction company. They have access to first-hand information."
It is not known whether he was talking to himself or commenting on Li Xuewu's explanation.
"Everyone is looking forward to it. I heard from them that a group of people will be able to move in in December. Now they are working on the decoration plan. Anyway, the construction company is very busy."
"What are you busy with? Doing some private work?"
Li Xuewu was multitasking. While he was busy with his hands, he could still hear Wang Lu's nagging clearly.
Wang Lu turned around and smiled, "Don't believe everything you hear. I just said it casually. Who knows what's going on? If you look so serious and murderous, who would dare to report to you?"
"Well, I accept the criticism, you continue."
Li Xuewu also followed suit, nodded with amusement, and said, "I will definitely learn from my lesson."
"It's not criticism, it's just..." Wang Lu thought for a moment and added, "You have to be more kind."
"Kind? Hehehe——"
Li Xuewu chuckled helplessly. He didn't even know that he had reached the age where the adjective "kind" should be used.
Wang Lu didn't care about his thoughts and continued, "I heard from them that Dongfeng Construction Company is very professional in interior decoration design. They built the guesthouse, so many people are looking for them to do the decoration."
"Well, Dou Yaozu has learned his lesson."
When Li Xuewu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the vice president of the construction company.
I had goals and motivation to strive for in the past, but I was born at the wrong time. If it weren't for his support, I would have been defeated long ago, and there would be no situation of being incorporated today.
Of course, Dou Yaozu has also learned his lesson and knows that some money can be earned and some cannot be earned.
He wanted to use the chicken to lay eggs and play the trick of a snake swallowing an elephant. He was thinking of the chaotic situation more than a decade ago.
It must be said that this old guy is really thoughtful. Without the ability to see through others' eyes, he can actually calculate that there will be huge opportunities for the company in the future.
It's a pity that his mind and vision cannot match Li Xuewu's divine eye, and the timing is wrong, so he is doomed to fail.
If Li Xuewu is going to play the snake swallowing elephant game, he has to be the one to do it. There is no way he can let a street joint venture company do it.
"I don't know him, but Manager Dou is popular in the agency, and many people know him."
Wang Lu came to his desk and asked softly, "Is this called scheming?"
"Yes, you are right." Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at her, saying, "Don't learn from him."
"How is that possible? I don't even have this opportunity, and he's the vice president of a construction company."
Wang Lu stood up straight, shook her head slightly and said, "Even if I have this identity, I don't have the brains."
"What's wrong with your brain? Isn't it quite smart?" Li Xuewu smiled and said casually: "People say you are the matchmaker in the agency."
"Tsk..." Wang Lu felt a little embarrassed and said with a slightly red face: "It's not like we're singing The Romance of the West Chamber."
"That's fine, they've formed quite a few couples."
Li Xuewu looked at her and praised her with a smile: "You are about to surpass my results."
"How can I compare with you?" Wang Lu said modestly, "I focus on quantity rather than quality."
The two people from the General Management Department actually discussed the work of the trade union and were being humble to each other.
"How are you and Yajun doing lately?"
Li Xuewu was still concerned about the couple and reminded her: "Don't neglect your own happy life when you are matchmaking for others."
"We are doing fine—" Wang Lu said as a matter of course: "There is no pressure, and we are happy every day. It's just that he has a hard time sometimes."
Only she dared to say this in front of Li Xuewu, but she really didn't feel any pressure.
In her life, the biggest pressure is no more than 30 yuan, because if she needs more than 30 yuan for consumption or difficulties, her parents will lend a helping hand.
She is the only precious daughter in the family, and we will never let her suffer any injustice.
Otherwise, why do they say that fools have good luck?
"Don't you plan to buy a house in the Workers' New Village?"
Li Xuewu glanced at her and reminded her, "The house here is new, the construction quality is guaranteed, the layout is also very novel, and more importantly, the location is."
He pointed at the small map of Liangmahe Industrial Zone under the glass of his desk and said to her, "The Workers' New Village is well located near schools and hospitals. There is no commuting pressure to work. The environment here is better, and it will be more convenient when we have children in the future."
"What you said made me moved."
Wang Lu came over to look at the map in his hand, and then said hesitantly: "The house we live in now is prepared by my parents for us, so it's hard to change it."
"You can get a loan to buy a medium-sized apartment, or a small one." Li Xuewu advised her, "Houses here will become a scarce resource in the future."
"What do you mean? Scarce resources?"
Wang Lu was not a fool. After hearing what Li Xuewu said, her eyes sparkled and she asked, "You mean, the houses here can be bought and sold and have property certificates?"
"What do you think?" Li Xuewu smiled and sat up straight, saying, "How did you get your current house?"
"Oh——" Wang Lu seemed to have figured it out, so she simply sat on the chair, ready to chat with him for a long time.
"If I don't buy it now, will there be no such opportunity in the future?"
She looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I see not many people have signed up to buy commercial housing."
"How did you see that?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Do you know how many people use their connections to buy houses here?"
“It’s not that there aren’t many people buying commercial housing, but that they don’t have the qualifications, and the group doesn’t dare to relax the restrictions.”
He shook his head and explained: "Using assets to operate and building commercial housing on existing collective land to sell to workers is already the limit of the policy."
"I understand." Wang Lu raised her eyebrows and said, "Once this restriction is lifted..."
"Hehe——" Li Xuewu couldn't help but smile. Who said this girl is a fool?
Wang Lu didn't say the second half of the sentence because she already knew it.
Once the policy is relaxed, houses here will become a commodity on the market.
Of course, the housing prices by then will not be the current prices.
Just as Li Xuewu just said, this place is close to the best schools, the best hospitals, the most abundant commercial districts, and the garden city in the city.
The key is that she is an employee of the group and her life will revolve around this job in the future.
The more workers integrated here, the more developed this industrial satellite city will be in the future.
It is obvious from the current trend that city residents like to come here for sightseeing.
"Then I'll go home and discuss it with Yajun."
Wang Lu was already moved, and she blinked and said, "If he doesn't object, I'll go tell my mom."
"It's impossible to get a loan. I will never owe anyone money in my life."
She said confidently: "Since you said that this place will become a scarce resource in the future, then buying a house here is equivalent to an invisible investment."
"It's safe and value-preserving. If you're going to buy one, buy the best and biggest one so you can live on both sides."
What else can Li Xuewu say about this little rich woman? Now you know why rich people are always rich.
They have the capital and ability to take action when faced with opportunities.
It is difficult to make one million, but after making one million, it is easy to make a second million.
"Okay, the flowers have been watered, the tea has been drunk, and the channel for making a fortune has been found. Let's take action now."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said to her, "If you have time this weekend, go back to the compound with Yajun for dinner."
"Okay, second brother..." Wang Lu stood up with a smile, put away the teapot on the table and left.
Li Xuewu looked at her lively figure and couldn't help but think of his younger sister Li Xue.
Calculating the time, I will be back in more than half a month, and the training class in Gangcheng should be about to end by then.
-
There is no trouble in Gangcheng, and Li Xue has no happiness.
Li Xue's ability to perceive happiness has increased countless times in the past six months.
In the entire class, no one is more special and more chic than her.
Every weekend, a "work-to-death" luxury car would come to pick her up to go exercise and internship.
Don’t ask, this is the answer from the counselor.
Accompanying the president of Oriental Times Bank to participate in social activities, listening to the bank's high-level meetings, participating in charity auctions, and getting involved in real estate mergers and developments...
While her classmates are still desperately absorbing valuable knowledge of capitalism, she has already begun learning about capital operations and has fully put the financial knowledge she learned in school into practice.
Is there anyone who is envious, jealous or hateful?
Of course there are, but different classmates have different fates. Li Xue usually goes to class with them, but once get out of class is over, she will go to the library or the study room.
I rarely see her on weekends and have little communication with my classmates, so there is no possibility for conflicts to escalate.
Besides, they are all employees of the group, and everyone knows Li Xue’s background.
It’s just that they are somewhat unwilling, or rather, unconvinced.
Why was Li Xue spoiled and taught personally by Deputy Director Jing when she was in the group, and when she arrived in Gangcheng, the president of a top bank suddenly appeared to teach her personally?
Is this guy still a clerk?
With this qualification and what she has learned, she will have a place in the financial system after she returns without relying on her second brother. She can just rely on the support of Deputy Director Jing.
Apart from anything else, I have interned at a top bank in Hong Kong City, interned at a real estate company, participated in various types of economic activities, and participated in the organization of the construction and service work of the Andrew Buyers Club.
Just tell me, who in the class can compare to her.
It's true that people have to die when compared with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods.
Is anyone spreading gossip?
Of course there were. At the beginning, a male classmate privately said that Li Xue had been corrupted by capitalism, and that the mysterious president of the top bank was just an old man.
Maybe Li Xue would violate the rules and stay in Hong Kong. Anyway, her second brother is arrogant...
It wasn't until the mysterious president showed up that the rumors were dispelled.
A young woman who is not very tall but has a unique temperament and charm, is actually the president of the top banking consortium in Hong Kong.
The rumors about Li Xue have disappeared, but speculations about this president are rampant.
Many people say that this is the mistress of some big shot, perhaps the second wife of a big boss in some Hong Kong city.
Li Xue had heard similar rumors, but she had never taken the initiative to explain them, nor had she ever gotten angry.
Because she did feel a little guilty.
As soon as she landed in Hong Kong City, someone came to tell her that they would pick her up at the weekend.
Of course Li Xue didn't dare to go out until the man appeared in front of her in person.
She was a little hesitant to recognize him at first, because the President Lou in front of her looked like the former Sister Lou in the compound.
No matter how stupid Li Xue was, she could guess how the other party came to Gangcheng.
Not to mention her second brother's name, she had actually heard about Lou Xiao'e from her mother a long time ago.
It’s a matter between Lou Xiaoe and my second brother.
At the beginning, the second brother used Wen San's house near the lake to support her, and everyone in the family pretended not to know.
In fact, everyone knew it except Li Shu.
Aren’t second brother’s clothes and shoes all made by Yu Li? Then where did the others come from?
But after my second brother got married, Lou Xiao'e suddenly disappeared, and the family was very puzzled.
The second brother never explained, and they didn't ask. They just thought it was a good thing that Lou Xiao'e left.
Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e did not leave, but was "reborn" with another identity.
When they met, Li Xue hesitated for a long time before asking her softly what she should call her.
Lou Xiao'e didn't know either, but she still laughed and told her that she could call her whatever she wanted.
If you feel awkward, just call her by her name.
Of course Li Xue wouldn't be so impolite. Although she couldn't call her second sister-in-law, she wouldn't call her by her name either.
She knew very well that the way she was treated by Lou Xiao'e was entirely because of her second brother.
It was because of the unusual relationship between her and her second brother that the other party loved her and loved her too.
Li Xue thought about it and decided to call her Sister Lou.
Lou Xiao'e had no regrets and no loss. From Beijing to Hong Kong, Li Xuewu gave her everything he could give her, including this trust.
When his younger sister came to Hong Kong City, Li Xuewu did not hide anything and sent her a message directly.
She can’t call her sister-in-law openly, but this is her sister-in-law, how can she not pamper her.
So from the first day, Li Xue was different from others because she had power in Hong Kong City.
Li Xue has grown up and is not as shy as before. She has her own ideas and thinking.
She accepted Lou Xiao'e's kindness and concern for her with peace of mind, for the other party.
Otherwise, how can we say that she has grown up, knows how to consider others, and knows how to deal with emotions.
If she stubbornly rejected Lou Xiao'e's kindness to her, it would only embarrass and sadden her.
Since Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to come to her, it means that she has obtained the consent of her second brother and also assumed some pressure.
She is not a bad child, nor is she a picky little princess. The adult world is always complicated.
So, after half a year of getting along, Li Xue has come to understand Sister Lou and the relationship between her and her second brother, and she has also felt relieved.
Maybe one day in her life, someone will suddenly appear to help her.
As long as she is a woman, as long as she is young and beautiful, there is no need to think or doubt, it is basically the case.
As they were about to graduate and return to the mainland, Lou Xiao'e began to take her to the mall and buy things frequently.
The things she bought filled up box after box. She didn't react at all, but her roommates were scared.
They are all in the same group, and such crazy shopping has exceeded their salary capabilities.
Li Xue couldn't explain it clearly, but fortunately the team leader helped her come up with a reason: the president was grateful for her efforts.
Oh shit——
No one will believe this nonsense, but everyone must believe this explanation.
While enjoying this treatment, Li Xue actually made contributions and helped the other party.
It is normal to receive thanks from others.
Well, with five big boxes of thanks and the team leader’s endorsement, everyone naturally chose to shut up.
They are going back to evaluate and reassign positions. Who dares to say that the Secretary-General will not participate in personnel work?
It is very likely that the Secretary-General will preside over their work redistribution and selection, so it is difficult to be clear.
-
"I thought you weren't coming."
Sha Zhu came out of the back room with a cigarette in his mouth, and winked at Li Xuewu with a grin.
Li Xuewu also looked at him with amusement and asked, "Why can't I come?"
After saying that, he pointed to the room at the back and asked, "Are there many people here today?"
"We are neighbors here. Qin Huairu didn't make any arrangements." Sha Zhu shook his head slightly and introduced: "Someone in the unit should have heard the news. I don't know if he will come."
He turned around and gestured towards the house, saying, "Anyway, we've prepared six tables. If you can fit, sit down. If not, just squeeze in. It looks like they don't want to have a big party."
"The old lady in their family doesn't want to again?"
Li Xuewu didn't feel any emotion. Qin Huairu's wild flowers had strong vitality. He didn't even have to water them, but they were still blooming so beautifully.
Besides, it’s not like he hasn’t watered other people’s flowers before, so he doesn’t have any psychological barriers.
Originally, the two of them had a purely neighborly relationship, and there was no emotional dispute or problem involved at all.
So, when the neighbor’s eldest sister had a happy event, of course he had to come and express his gratitude.
Qin Huairu's marriage was quite awkward. She had no explanation to her neighbors because she didn't hold a wedding banquet, which would easily lead to gossip and rumors.
You say we should hold a wedding banquet, but it's embarrassing to invite too many people, after all, there are three children and mother-in-law here.
If she, a widow, was a more pure person, it would be no problem for her to have a grand wedding in this era.
The problem still lies in identity.
"Just entertain us in this room, with your cooking skills?" Li Xuewu glanced at the east room, waved his hand, rejected Sha Zhu's gesture to let him in, pointed in the direction of the house, and said, "I'll come back later."
"Everyone is waiting for you."
Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and reminded: "This compound will soon face the situation of relocation. Someone has to take charge of the overall situation. At least someone has to give everyone a backbone."
"You flatter me. I don't have that ability."
Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at him, then urged, "I don't live in the compound all year round, but you are different. I'll talk to the uncle later and I think I should suggest that you step out to take charge of the situation."
"Me? Of course I would—"
Sha Zhu was willing to take the lead, but he also knew his own limitations, so he smiled and said, "With your support, I will definitely be able to take charge of this situation."
"It's none of my business—"
Li Xuewu scolded him with a smile, pointed to the west yard and said, "My grandfather will come over later. Tell him I'm back."
"Well, Li Shu and Li Ning are not here, can grandma still come to see you?"
Sha Zhu followed Li Xuewu and shouted, "Go to the backyard, maybe you can meet Qin Huairu's boyfriend."
"It's good to meet him." Li Xuewu said without any concern: "She is still holding the lute and half covering her face. She finally came out after much anticipation. She hid this person very well."
It was now November, and it was not just because of the snow, but also because there was an obvious sense of restlessness and decadence in the courtyard.
In this complex environment, there is a yearning and desire for a new life.
When I got home, I learned from my mother's nagging that those who had already decided to move out included the Yan family opposite, the seventh family in the middle hall, the Jia family in the middle courtyard, and the Liu family in the backyard.
Except for Li Xuewu and He Yuzhu, all other employees of the Red Star Factory chose to buy apartment buildings.
Even an old man took out his savings and, together with He Yuzhu, exchanged the old lady's house in the backyard for a 60-square-meter apartment.
So it seemed that more than half of the dozen households in the compound had to move out all at once, and only Li Shun's family was left in the front yard.
The families living in the central entrance hall and the side rooms in the backyard were not employees of the Red Star Factory, so they could do nothing about it even though they were jealous.
They would like to negotiate with the street office, or wait for these residents to move out so that they can move into their houses.
Either they coordinate with the Red Star Factory or give them the opportunity to exchange their houses for new ones, but the street office did not agree.
It's a very simple logic. During this real estate operation, Red Star Steel Group has communicated with Dongcheng District and determined the property rights of these houses.
In other words, the benefits that workers get from using housing deductions actually have no real value.
The house does not belong to the workers, but to the Housing Authority.
But they have the right to rent the house, so Red Star Steel Group also has to pay for the purchase of the house.
Fortunately, housing prices were not high at that time, which made it convenient for the group to carry out real estate operations.
Of course, the property rights of houses at that time were also very complicated. Local households like the Yan family, the old lady's family, the Liu family, and the uncle's family all had property rights.
They don't have property deeds, but these houses were allocated to them after liberation.
In other words, this period of history is very complicated and vague, and there is no way to determine the ownership rights. All communication and confirmation of ownership must be carried out in accordance with the existing regulations of the Red Star Factory.
"All these old neighbors have moved away, and I feel so empty inside."
Liu Yin sat on the kang and looked at the noise outside the window. It was the Jia family's wedding.
But this kind of happy event may be the last time for the old neighbor.
"Qin Huairu is really arrogant. She won't get married unless I buy her a house. She keeps dragging it out."
She chattered to her son and told him some of the things she had heard.
"She said that the other party has a daughter but no son, and she doesn't want to have another child for him. Isn't this just making trouble?"
"Who did you hear that from?"
Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "Can their family affairs be heard by outsiders?"
"You can tell me." Liu Yin glanced at her son and said, "If her family doesn't tell them themselves, how can outsiders know about it?"
Well, it turns out that Jia Zhang is a two-faced person. On the one hand, she agrees with her daughter-in-law that she doesn't care if she gets married or remarries, and on the other hand, she tells all her situation to the neighbors.
Maybe Qin Huairu has become accustomed to it, or maybe she had expected it and just didn't want to waste any more words on it.
Her son was growing up, and she always had to think about his future. Perhaps it was because of this mentality that she took the initiative to give up her fantasy about Li Xuewu.
"After all, she bought two apartments. One was exchanged for her current house and given to her mother-in-law."
Liu Yin introduced: "She said to let the children live with her mother-in-law. They live across the street."
"So you bought the house next door?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Will the other party's daughter agree?"
"What else can I do if I don't want to?" Liu Yin curled her lips and said, "If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather."
"The other party must be extremely satisfied with her conditions, otherwise he wouldn't have kept her company for so long."
She also found it funny and told her son, "After all, she is good-looking and has a good job. Even with the current conditions, it will be very difficult to find someone else."
"Looking for someone with similar conditions, who can't have a son, and who is willing to buy a new house - tsk tsk -"
Talking about Qin Huairu's affairs, Liu Yin was amazed and found it quite bizarre.
It is not easy for a widow to remarry these days and she may be discriminated against.
It can be seen from the fact that Qin Huairu is now secretly holding a wedding banquet that she herself is not happy about this marriage.
Maybe it's just that people have reached middle age and need someone to rely on, and need a living person in their bed.
"Has Second Uncle contacted our family recently?"
Li Xuewu had already learned enough about Qin Huairu from Sha Zhu and his mother. Not wanting to talk about it anymore, he asked about the issues that had concerned him recently.
Ever since my cousin Li Xueli came to Beijing from Jicheng to return his watch, there has been no news from Jicheng.
My second uncle is an open-minded person, but my second aunt is very strong-willed, especially when it comes to family affairs.
Second Aunt was of course happy that Li Xuewu had a promising future, but she also felt that her own children were not bad either.
Li Juan is the eldest daughter in the family. Born in a family like theirs, she should marry into a good family and set an example in life and work for her younger brothers and sisters.
The results of it?
The car flipped over...
It's okay if there's a quarrel at home, but relatives from all over the world won't say anything even if it's ugly.
Who would have thought that Li Juan was so ignorant and dared to come to the capital to deceive Li Xuewu.
If she was just stupid, it would be fine, but she also did something sneaky. Given Second Uncle's personality, he would probably beat her with a belt.
Second Aunt wouldn't hit anyone, but the belt felt more like it had hit her in the face.
For educating her daughter to be like this, people will criticize her as a bad mother.
If you don't know how to educate your children, you will suffer great disgrace.
Li Xuewu did not embarrass his second uncle, but took the initiative to lay the matter out in the open and tried his best to save their face.
But the incident had already happened, and his second uncle had no face to contact him, and it was also difficult to contact his eldest brother's family.
"After that incident, your uncle and aunt must be so angry that they will die. Who knows how sad they will be."
Liu Yin sighed deeply, and thinking of her eldest niece Li Juan, she shook her head helplessly.
"At first your second aunt said that she had found a suitable partner, but now it's like this."
"My eldest sister doesn't have any good intentions."
As a younger brother, Li Xuewu cannot criticize his sister, so he can only say this.
"My uncle and aunt never let her suffer any hardship, let alone let her get involved in society."
"Oh, that's right—" Liu Yin muttered, "I was determined to get a job in the railway. At that time, my family didn't even dare to think about such treatment."
Li Xuewu knew where his second aunt's loss and sadness came from. He wanted to be strong, but he met a useless daughter.
My second uncle went to Northeast China to make a living, and it was my second aunt who took a liking to him. My second aunt's family was very well off.
Although it was not considered a marriage into the wife's family, my second uncle relied a lot on his father-in-law, so my second aunt could be considered the head of the family.
No matter how far apart the sisters-in-law are, they can still make some comparisons when they ask each other about things.
Being a mother is less worthy than having food and clothing, but of course it is more important than having a successful child.
The old family was in the most difficult situation at first, but now the eldest brother's family is the most promising.
"Don't bear a grudge against your elder sister. What happened is over. There is no loss."
Liu Yin was the only one in the family who knew about what happened, and she never told the old lady.
How can I tell the old lady about this family shame? She has long stopped caring about family affairs.
They take care of their great-grandchildren every day and enjoy their old age, while all the trivial matters in the family are theirs.
My second uncle refused to contact our family, perhaps because he was worried that my mother would find out.
"How could I bear a grudge against her? I can't write two Li characters with one stroke. After all, she is my eldest sister."
Li Xuewu nodded in understanding and said to his mother, "Find some time to call my second uncle, or wait for my dad to come back and ask him."
"My second uncle doesn't want to answer my call, so it's better for you to ask."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Liu Yin pounded her legs and said thoughtfully, "It's not a good idea for a family to always be like this."
"Your third uncle wrote to me a while ago and asked about the children's situation at home. Your father was worried about how to reply, so he only told me what he could."
It is difficult for an honest judge to settle family disputes. The word "judgment" does not only mean to settle a case, but also means to distinguish right from wrong.
It is inevitable that there will be differences among relatives and peers when they get along with each other. How to handle such relationships is a science.
Excessive tolerance and compromise will only bring sadness. People always have to have an attitude and be picky.
Only when you are picky and show your attitude will the other party care about your attitude.

"Oh, how can this be called a coincidence?"
Li Xuewu came out of his house and met Qin Huairu's family walking out, a large group of people.
Mostly neighbors, who had just come to see the “bridegroom” at Jia’s house.
The groom was also very calm. He held the wedding banquet at his wife's home and even brought his own daughter along.
Banggeng was suddenly troubled by the addition of an older sister and a younger sister, and his face became haggard.
When he saw Uncle Wu, he wanted to complain a few words, but then he remembered his grandmother's instructions.
Before he could figure out how to talk to Uncle Wu about his youthful troubles, Uncle Wu seemed to know his stepfather.
As expected, I know him, and he is a familiar person.
Qin Huairu was also surprised. The person she was looking for was neither a neighbor nor a colleague.
When she saw Li Xuewu, she was thinking about how to introduce him to her, but she didn't expect that they actually knew each other.
"Brother, do you live in this courtyard?"
Liu Guoyou was really surprised. He smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu, saying, "We haven't seen each other for a few years."
"From 1965 to now, how many years do you say it has been?"
Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile, then looked at Qin Huairu and said, "This is really fate."
"Do you know each other?" Qin Huairu's expression was full of absurdity and panic, and now she looked at Liu Guoyou.
"He went to the Northeast on a mission, and it was my train." Liu Guoyou shook Li Xuewu's hand again and asked, "It was thanks to you that time."
"By the way, is the child okay?"
"Her name is Li Shu, and she is our eldest daughter."
Li Xuewu introduced with a smile: "She is already in kindergarten, but she is very naughty. I will bring her to see you later."
"Well, it's fate—"
From Li Xuewu's words, he could tell that the child was living a good life, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now everyone who was watching the fun understood what had happened. It turned out that the two of them met when Li Xuewu brought Li Shu back home.
Of course, everyone in the hospital knew about this matter. Li Xuewu was still an officer in the Security Department at that time.
Liu Guoyou was not aware of Li Xuewu's changes in recent years, so he patted his shoulder and asked cordially, "Are you still in the security department now?"
Qin Huairu's eyelids twitched as she watched Liu Guoyou patting Li Xuewu's shoulder with his big hand, as if he had touched her nerves.
For the first time, she felt that life was ridiculous.
