Chapter 1354 I will still be a man in my next life
"Learn martial arts? Come in quickly, come in quickly."
Tan Yali was surprised at first, but she soon reacted. She smiled and waved to Li Xuewu who was standing at the door, asking him to come in.
When he came in, he was holding a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and he said politely with a smile, "We don't lack anything at home."
"It's a thoughtful gesture. It saves you from having to climb the stairs to buy these."
Li Xuewu was not polite and sent the rice and flour directly to the kitchen, and considerately stored them in a place that was not easily affected by moisture.
"If you have any inconvenience in the future, feel free to call me. If I'm not at home, please tell Yu Li."
He patted the flour dust off his hands, stood up and carefully warned: "It's winter, don't try to be brave, the third floor is no joke."
"I know you are careful, but it's not that hard."
As the mother-in-law met her son-in-law, Tan Yali was extremely satisfied with Li Xuewu and couldn't bear to say a word of dislike.
I quickly took a teacup down from the tea cabinet and just asked him what kind of tea he wanted to drink. There was no shortage of tea at home.
Li Xuewu was very honest with his mother-in-law. He walked to the tea cabinet and pretended to pick out a box, then asked her to help him make it.
"Isn't Uncle Lou at home?"
Being asked by his mother-in-law to sit on the sofa, Li Xuewu took a look at the living room and asked, "Is she out?"
"I asked him to go to the service department to look around, get acquainted with the place, and buy some daily necessities. It can be considered a stroll."
Tan Yali brought the tea over and placed it next to Li Xuewu enthusiastically, her eyes full of friendliness.
Li Xuewu politely took the teacup and nodded, saying, "Wear more clothes. When the sun is bright, you should go out more often. The environment in this courtyard is pretty good."
"That's good enough, what else do you want?"
Tan Yali clasped her hands in front of her belly and sat on the single sofa. She raised her hand to indicate the fruit on the coffee table, "Please don't be polite, son-in-law."
"If you ask me, for the three of us, it would be more appropriate for us to live in a smaller house, otherwise it would be too tiring to clean up."
Although she was born a concubine, she did not do housework since childhood. Concubines in the Republic of China were either skilled or beautiful.
Tan Yali is not an ordinary concubine. The Lou family was once a wealthy family in the capital. To be able to be Lou Yu’s mistress, one must have a certain status.
Of course, she herself would not tell Li Xuewu all this, but Lou Xiao'e once mentioned that her mother was the inheritor of Tan's cuisine.
Li Xuewu said that no matter how exquisite the food is, it still depends on personal taste and interest, and nothing is perfect.
So don’t praise the chefs too much, but a professional is only better than an amateur, and one with a better grasp of the traditional taste.
My mother-in-law doesn't look pretty now, it's because of her age. She's already in her forties, no matter how pretty she was when she was young, she has lost some of her beauty now.
But saying that the color is not obvious is relative. My mother-in-law is skilled and she can understand my father-in-law's taste.
She said the house was too big and would be troublesome to clean up. Half of what she said was for Li Xuewu to hear, and half of it was from the heart.
In the past, there were maids and old women to take care of these things, so how could she handle much? Now, she doesn’t have the conditions to do so, even if she has money.
From arranging for Lou Ting to attend the United School, to purchasing the house of over 100 square meters, and then to the decoration and furniture arrangement, Li Xuewu provided one-stop service from beginning to end, and the old couple didn't have to worry about anything.
Lou Yu is now convinced. Although he cannot get close to Li Xuewu, he still cares about him.
He also knew that he might not be able to win the upper hand due to his age. His daughter didn't matter, but the future of his eldest grandson might depend on his uncle, so he was naturally not clear-headed.
"It's better if it's bigger, so Uncle Lou can have a place to read."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Lou Ting is old enough now. She should have her own room. You can also have more space in the kitchen."
When choosing the house, he did not discuss it with the old couple. He just said that everything would be arranged and they just had to wait for the move.
Although he didn't call her father-in-law, he did call her mother when Sister Lou was around, so it was natural that he took good care of her.
This property, together with the two properties owned by Ran Qiuye and Zhou Yamei, were all cleaned up by people arranged by Dou Yaozu, and Zuo Jie had been keeping an eye on them for a month.
Li Xuewu personally reviewed the decoration specifications and drawings. Dou Yaozu's people were responsible for the decoration, and Zuo Jie was responsible for the selection of furniture and electrical appliances.
It will take a month for the smell to dissipate, and since there is no paint applied during this period, there is no risk of formaldehyde poisoning.
Speaking of standards, the decoration standards of these three houses are indeed not low. The floors of other people's houses are original cement, but these three places use tiles, which look fresh and fashionable.
Tan Yali was grateful for his trouble, and her words were full of concern and affection, and the two of them chatted for a while.
Until there was a noise at the door, the two who opened the door were Lou Yu and Lou Ting, the grandfather and grandson, who were strolling in the service department.
"Master, I'm here to learn martial arts."
When Tan Yali heard the noise, she had already gotten up and was waiting at the door. When she saw the father and son come in, she reminded them with her mouth and helped with her hands.
It seemed that the father and son had been shopping a lot. They were carrying a lot of things in their hands, including food and daily necessities. Lou Ting was also holding a candied haws in his hand.
"Well, what time did you arrive?"
Lou Yu changed into slippers and walked in. He greeted Li Xuewu with a warm face. When he saw him stand up, he waved his hand to signal him not to be polite.
Lou Ting, who came in with his grandfather, saw that scarred face coming back again. He felt that the candied haws in his mouth were no longer sweet, but bitter.
"Why don't you call for help?" Tan Yali gently reminded her grandson, "What did I teach you last time?"
"Hello, aunt...uncle." After holding it in for a long time, he finally shouted out because of his grandfather's urging.
I don't know if I felt awkward in my heart or was embarrassed to say it, but I actually called him aunt or uncle, and I don't know how to explain it (pronounced as 'leng').
Li Xuewu did not indulge his ambiguity. He looked at him seriously and emphasized, "It doesn't matter if you call me uncle or uncle-in-law, I am not a bandit who eats children. You are a little boy. If you act so pretentiously like a grown-up girl, I will teach you a lesson."
"Did you hear what your uncle said?"
Tan Yali pushed her grandson and took him to sit on the sofa, correcting his way of addressing her.
Since Li Xuewu acknowledged him as their nephew, the old couple felt relieved and would not be annoyed by his meddling.
Anyway, Li Xuewu only comes a few times a year as he is so busy with work. Even if he calls him in person, it is unlikely to cause gossip or trouble.
Lou Ting raised his head and took a look at his grandfather, only then was he sure that the man with the scarred face was his aunt Gangcheng's man.
The teenage boy now remembered a saying: Birds of a feather flock together. If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.
Although he was only ten years old at the time and didn't understand anything, he still remembered that his father scolded his aunt many times.
And it seems that my mother's running away from home and the breakdown of my family were also related to my aunt.
When he came to the mainland from Hong Kong, it was his aunt who bought him from a human trafficker on the street and casually left him to his grandparents.
As for his impression of his aunt, he does not have any resentment at the moment, because he does not understand yet, but he does have a strong sense of fear.
Lou Ting was even more afraid of the man who tried to scare him when they first met and who now his grandmother asked him to call uncle.
He said he is not a bandit and does not eat children, so where did the scar on his face come from?
So tall, so strong, so fierce, how could he be a good man if not a bandit?
Are you lying to kids?
That's really bullying.
Lou Ting's mumbling expression did not attract much attention from Li Xuewu. When Lou Yu came back, the two chatted about family matters for a while.
Originally, Tan Yali wanted to invite her son-in-law to have lunch, but Li Xuewu insisted on leaving, saying that he still had to use some connections.
The old couple have been taking care of their grandson and have not been in touch with each other for a long time. They don’t know how their relationships are in the capital.
Even though I moved here, I don’t know any of my neighbors, let alone the people in this compound. They don’t know whether what Li Xuewu said is true or not.
But it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Li Xuewu came to see them and they have done their best. They both know that he is busy.
The more off duty you have, the busier it is.
"You, my dear children, cannot be so stingy."
After seeing Li Xuewu off, Lou Yu turned around and brought his grandson to the sofa and began to educate him carefully.
Lou Ting just felt comfortable and relieved, but he didn't expect his grandfather's expression to become serious again, so he stood up and listened with embarrassment.
"Even if you are afraid and hate him for scaring you, you have to think about whether he has ever touched you."
Lou Yu naturally hoped that his grandson would become a successful person. The Lou family was a wealthy family in Beijing, and he did not want the family to die out after three generations and become a small-scale family.
"I've told you, he's not a bad person, he really cares about our family, so you should be more polite to him in the future."
"Grandpa..." Lou Ting pursed his lips and asked stubbornly, "Why is he in Beijing?"
Instead of asking this question, he might as well ask him directly why his aunt was in Hong Kong City. After all, it was a family secret. It was just his confusion.
Tan Yali didn't want her husband to recall the bad things in the past, so she came over to persuade her grandson: "I asked you to call him uncle so that you know why he takes care of us. When you go out, just call him uncle."
Lou Ting looked at his third grandmother with some confusion. This was not his biological grandmother, but she loved him more than his biological grandmother.
"Just do as I say, you won't go wrong." Tan Yali smiled and tapped his nose, "You must remember that you are the future of the Lou family, the man who will establish a family, and you must not let others laugh at you."
"Then he... my uncle laughed at me? Yes—" Thinking of this, Lou Ting couldn't help but lower his head and murmured, "Just now he said that I'm not a boy, but a girl."
"He thinks you're too reserved and hates you being afraid of him."
Tan Yali's persuasion was naturally gentler than Lou Yu's, and more easily accepted by Lou Ting.
"You can come to the city to study and have a worry-free life now. You really have to thank your uncle."
As she grumbled on, her eyes were fixed on her lover who was sitting diagonally opposite her. She wondered if the old man regretted it.
The son-in-law's original plan was not like this. He wanted to stay in Guangzhou to connect with his daughter and be the "front-line commander".
Now...what else is there to say now? The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. Just accept the defeat and live your life well.
If you dare to have other thoughts again, your son-in-law doesn't seem to be a good person and he might get angry and do something cruel.
As for how heartless...
-
After coming out of Lou's house, Li Xuewu did not rush to call Nie Xiaoguang for a taxi, but walked forward leisurely.
The compound is really busy today. The workers in the factory are afraid of delaying their work and are waiting to move on the weekend. Only "idlers" like Lou Yu can move into the building in advance and avoid the noise.
It would be fine if there were trucks and tricycles coming in and out, but at this moment there was even a horse-drawn carriage passing by the building's gate.
Li Xuewu actually took a closer look at it. It was a four-wheeled carriage, neither ordinary nor fancy.
Don't be too serious about it. The four-wheeled carriage has existed in ancient China, but it was not used as widely as in Europe.
However, looking at the carriage passing by, it does have a Western feel, and there are even iron vine decorations on the frame.
This technique of wearing the gold chain outside is definitely foreign. Chinese people value moderation and propriety. There is no such thing as someone who would embroider flowers on a carriage.
The reason why Li Xuewu took a few more glances was because his grandmother also had a carriage and the big blue horse was kept in the west yard.
Strolling along the corridor between the residential buildings, looking left and right as if watching a foreign spectacle.
However, it was winter in the park, so there was no Western scenery to see. There were quite a few quarrels and jokes.
The living environment of the Workers' New Village would be impressive even in later generations, as can be seen from the design of the park.
This is definitely not the work of a French design team. The planning drawings of the garden and water system came from the Institute of Ancient Architecture.
The name sounds familiar, a branch of the Oriental Trinity Construction Cooperative, focusing on classical traditional design.
When it comes to gardens, foreigners don't have the thinking and imagination of Chinese people. When it comes to modern and contemporary landscape gardens, we have to talk about China.
Although it is impossible to have a different view at every step in the Workers' New Village, the design of the green areas in front of and behind the buildings are unique.
"Why are you here?"
Ran Qiuye had just finished cleaning the house when she heard someone knocking on the door. She was surprised because she had no friends visiting her.
When he opened the door, he saw Li Xuewu standing at the door. The surprise in his tone was not enough to hide the joy in his eyes.
"I came to see you and congratulate you on your new home."
Li Xuewu handed over two bags of fruit, changed into slippers at the entrance, and went into the living room with Ran Qiuye.
Different from the decoration style of Lou’s house, this one is more youthful and lively, but not out of place.
"I just finished cleaning up, and I'm sweating all over my forehead."
Ran Qiuye was really happy about his sudden arrival. She made tea and greeted him.
"From the time I started packing after get off work yesterday until now, I slept until less than three o'clock last night."
"The house is right here, and it won't run away. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Xuewu took the teacup but had no desire to drink it because he had already used it at Lou's house.
He waved his hand, motioning Ran Qiuye to sit down and talk, and said jokingly, "Didn't we agree to clean up slowly?"
"Once you start doing this job, you can't let go. The more you do it, the more excited you become."
Ran Qiuye has been working at the United School for a year and a half. The improved environment and progress in her work have made her much more cheerful.
She joked with Li Xuewu, but didn't sit down. She pointed to the direction of the bathroom and said, "I'll go take a shower. You sit down first."
You know what, although it is inevitable that doors and windows will leak these days, the room is not cold at all.
Even when he came in, he didn't feel cold in the corridor because the heating was turned on high. He was sweating even when drinking tea at Lou's house.
The decoration style is youthful, and the color matching of the furniture and the configuration of home appliances also appear lively.
Especially the pot of Clivia on the desk, with its small flowers blooming in large clusters, is particularly pleasing to the eye in this winter.
"Are you bored? Do you want to watch TV?"
Ran Qiuye came out of the bathroom holding a towel, and felt a little embarrassed when she saw him just sitting there silently.
He came here with great difficulty, but I was so focused on enjoying myself that I even forgot to greet him.
"Don't bother. I don't like watching that."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and asked her to sit down and rest for a while.
Looking at the bookcases filling the living room, he asked again, "Have all the bookcases and books from the old house been moved here?"
"I'm afraid someone will go in and mess it up."
Ran Qiuye sat next to him. The three-seater sofa was more than enough for the two of them, but their bodies were close together.
She is not a grown-up girl. She has no reason to be embarrassed when her lover comes to her house.
If she really pretends to be reserved and timid, he won't be able to stay together for long and will surely get annoyed and disgusted.
We are all adults now, so we should keep our feelings in our hearts and get things done. We shouldn't let love get us in the way of important matters.
Lu Xun once said that a short separation is better than a new marriage.
She works as an administrator in the school on weekdays. As the principal, she does not show any attitude of being dependent or reluctant, but is just calm.
"Is it comfortable to live here?"
When Li Xuewu saw her sitting over, he put his hand on her leg, his eyes filled with concern.
"I'm not a child anymore, there's no need for you to worry so much." Ran Qiuye helped him straighten the collar of his shirt and said lovingly, "Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."
"Even if I don't have this place, as long as you are in my heart, I will be comfortable and happy wherever I live."
"It's freezing cold, and I can't bear for you to ride your bike back and forth."
Seeing her confession, Li Xuewu smiled and pulled her hand, stroking it, "If you fall, it will be no joke."
"You arranged for me to live here, and I'm happy."
Ran Qiuye did not act pretentiously. She leaned on his shoulder as he wished, her face full of gentleness and tenderness.
"I also have hope. I just hope that you are healthy and have a smooth work..."
All the tenderness was given to Enyi, and the sweetness was in his heart. Ran Qiuye was held in his arms without any resistance, and just whispered to go to the room.
This place was bought for her by Li Xuewu. It was an explanation of their relationship and also a responsible attitude.
Anything else?
Ran Qiuye is not a greedy person. She is knowledgeable and confident, but she has never thought about being a manager.
It was Li Xuewu who asked her to step forward and encouraged her to try new jobs and challenges, which led to the establishment of Ran Qiuye, the principal of the junior high school department.
She was too lazy to argue with others, too lazy to think about the future, and even more lazy to force herself to achieve something.
Although he came to see her less often, he always kept her in his heart. Isn't that enough?
Ten times are not worth one time, so one time is worth ten times.
After experiencing the ordeal of life and death, she became open-minded and let go of the reality. Life is just a matter of life.
-
Some people just have to be hard on themselves and can't get over it, so their lives become more and more twisted.
Everyone was moving to a new building today, and naturally Han Lu was one of them. She called Nie Xiaoguang over to help.
He said yesterday that he would think about it, but in the evening he replied to her message saying that he wanted to give it a try together.
try what?
Do you need a pre-marital check-up?
She was still weak and couldn't stand any nonsense, but she had no ability to test the boy's ability.
If it were the other person, would he still try her skills?
"When will you bring your stuff over?"
Seeing Nie Xiaoguang walking around the room with life in his eyes, Han Lu, who was sitting on the dining chair, suddenly asked.
"What am I?"
Nie Xiaoguang poked his head out of the master bedroom, looked at her and asked, "I didn't hear you clearly just now, what did you say?"
"I'm telling you," Han Lu looked at him and repeated, "When are you going to move your things over here?"
"You'll have to let me think about this."
Nie Xiaoguang actually stopped what he was doing and started thinking seriously, which made Han Lu so angry that she rolled her eyes.
"Why, do you still need to think about this kind of thing?"
"Of course, if I don't think about it, how would I know if I have anything else worth moving here?"
Nie Xiaoguang's answers always hit people's lungs, and he almost wanted to knock her to death.
Han Lu glanced at him and asked, "Are you teasing me on purpose, or do you think you are very humorous?"
"Why am I teasing you?" Nie Xiaoguang leaned his arm against the wall and defended himself earnestly, "I only brought one bag with me when I left home. The rest was either taken away by my mother or thrown away."
"Where is your old house?" Han Lu frowned and asked, "Your father used to be the deputy director of the factory."
"What's wrong with the deputy director?" Nie Xiaoguang lowered his head in boredom and continued to work, replying impatiently, "We live in the factory's house. Now that my father is gone, we have to take it back."
"There is no such truth."
Han Lu felt a little sorry for what she had done, and muttered, "We have to consider the old comrade's face."
"My father was still in the process of labor reform when he died. How could he have such dignity?"
Nie Xiaoguang said calmly: "Even the funeral arrangements and my dignity today were given by the Secretary-General. They have nothing to do with my father."
"You are so loyal—"
Han Lu curled her lips, took a bite of the apple in her hand, and said, "You don't know how cruel and calculating he is, right?"
"I know how to do it, but what if I don't know how to do it?"
Nie Xiaoguang finished wiping the master bedroom, walked out, folded the rag in his hand, and said casually: "I know he is kind to me."
"Besides, even if he is ruthless and calculating, it is for a reason, otherwise he would not be the Secretary General of the Group."
Han Lu just felt bored. Thinking of what happened at the skating rink, she really didn't know what charm Li Xuewu had that could make a brat like Nie Xiaoguang believe in him wholeheartedly.
Since they had decided to become husband and wife, Han Lu didn't bother to argue with him. She skipped the topic and pointed to the trash at the door.
"Wear some clothes when you go out, be careful not to catch a cold."
She stood up, straightened her cotton jacket on her shoulders, and walked slowly to the master bedroom.
Having an abortion is no joke. It's like walking through the gates of hell, especially since the baby in her belly is quite advanced in gestation.
Even on the day of the operation, the doctor still asked her if she considered giving birth to the child.
It’s so big, it’s a life.
It's a pity that she, as a mother, doesn't have that blessing. Even if the child comes into the world, he will suffer. So forget it.
Besides, Lao Li has already made it clear that she can set any conditions she wants. The only requirement is that she must understand her status and propriety.
What sense of propriety? Han Lu wanted to spit at Lao Li at that time. How could a tin-plated gun dare to remind her to be proper in propriety?
Before, she only saw Zhou Miaomiao gaining the upper hand and thought that Lao Li was so romantic. But when it was her turn, she just felt disgusted.
But Lao Li also has his stubborn moments. If he is really hurt by her eyes, he will drink a sip of life-saving medicinal wine.
The medicinal wine was truly magical. It could instantly transform Old Li into Big Li, making him full of energy and vitality.
However, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Old Li values his life and only dares to use it once a month. He is afraid of dying on the road of lust.
Until now, she had also suffered as much as Zhou Miaomiao, and finally embarked on the path that Zhou Miaomiao had paved.
But I always feel like I've lost out.
On the one hand, Nie Xiaoguang was not as educated and capable as Zhou Tan; on the other hand, she herself had lost the opportunity to be a mother.
Every time she thought of this, her heart ached and she wanted to cry, but her tears had already dried up.
She didn't dare to complain that it was all her own fault, but wasn't that the truth?
Downstairs, hearing the garbage truck coming, Nie Xiaoguang put on a cotton jacket and walked out carrying the tin bucket in his hand.
There were two large buckets of garbage. He couldn't remember how many times he had gone downstairs to take out the garbage today. It was so tiring to clean the house by himself.
I should be grateful to my leader for taking care of him. Although he needed the car on Sunday, he was allowed to come and help.
Downstairs, the labor service company's garbage truck was working, so he hurried over to avoid causing trouble for others.
"Hey, Driver Nie, you live here too."
Hearing someone greeting him, Nie Xiaoguang turned around and saw that it was Zhou Tan, deputy chief of the Design Section of the Technical Department.
This person was also a well-known figure in the factory. Just like him now, the two of them were brothers in distress.
Zhou Tan's address to him was not a mockery or a contempt, it was just a common address at that time.
The driver of a train is called a big driver, such as Han Da Che whom Li Xuewu had met before. Some people also call Sha Zhu Chef He.
It is normal to include the job title in the name, which is considered a feature of this era. Liu Baorui was previously called Liu Xiangsheng by his neighbors.
"Chief Zhou, you live here too? What a coincidence."
Nie Xiaoguang looked at him in surprise, but did not delay his actions and poured the garbage in the bucket into the big trash can.
Seeing Zhou Tan coming, he took the initiative to help him.
"Thank you. I didn't expect we were neighbors."
Zhou Tan was very polite and asked with a smile: "Which floor do you live on? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"You're right that you haven't seen me before, because I didn't know I was going to live here."
Nie Xiaoguang didn't care and laughed at himself.
He packed up the trash can, pointed to the third floor while Zhou Tan was stunned, and explained: "Han Lu lives here, 301."
"Yeah, this is-this is such a coincidence."
Zhou Tan was really a little dazed until Nie Xiaoguang helped him clean up the trash can and handed it to him.
"Then we should have more contact in the future." He smiled and said, "We are all young people, so don't be restrained."
"Hey, as long as you don't think I have no status, it's fine."
Nie Xiaoguang’s job as Li Xuewu’s driver was not in vain. He learned a lot of skills and his personality became like a completely different person.
He may still have the stupidity and stupidity from before, but he won't use it easily. If he's competing, he's competing with himself.
"How can you say that? Aren't we all comrades?
It seemed that Zhou Tan was willing to interact with him. The two of them walked into the unit door chatting and laughing, and they got along very harmoniously.
The garbage collector looked at them in confusion, wondering how the two greenest young men in the factory could get together.
After returning to the third floor, Nie Xiaoguang politely said goodbye to Zhou Tan at the door and made an appointment to go out and play together when they had time.
"Who is it? Who are you talking to?"
Han Lu's voice came from the master bedroom. She had just heard him talking at the door.
Nie Xiaoguang first put away the trash can, then went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then came to the door of the master bedroom and said, "Zhou Tan."
"I didn't expect he also lived in this unit, just upstairs."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a slightly playful expression: "This is really Qiao'er's mother opening the door for Qiao'er. Qiao is home."
"What do you mean? Is it funny?"
Han Lu swore that she really didn't know about this. If she knew that Zhou Miaomiao lived upstairs from her, would she still choose to live here?
She was already upset enough after hearing Nie Xiaoguang's words, and seeing his expression, as if it had nothing to do with her and he was just watching the fun, she couldn't help herself anymore.
Nie Xiaoguang was not afraid of her anger. He stared at her and said, "It's not up to me to decide whether it's funny or not. If I say it's not funny, can you avoid being laughed at by others?"
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
Despite her weak body, Han Lu stood up from the bed, wishing she could tear Nie Xiaoguang's mouth apart.
Nie Xiaoguang really didn't take her seriously, and said carelessly: "There is no such thing as coincidence in this world. Most likely, they did it on purpose, waiting to see your fun."
Han Lu, who had already walked over to take action, was also stunned, with a frown on her face, but her anger was diverted away from Nie Xiaoguang.
She recalled that it was not she who went to get the house, but Li Huaide's secretary Li Haiyang who brought the key to her.
There were too many people involved, so she couldn't tell whether it was the people at the housing management office who did something, or whether Li Haiyang was just being too bold.
However, Han Lu was not completely stupid. She already knew that if she went to the Housing Management Office or made trouble with Zhou Miaomiao, she would become a laughing stock in the building, the agency, and even the group.
But he held his breath in his heart, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.
"You don't have to be so happy about my misfortune. We are going to start a family. What do you think of me?"
The anger didn't shift, it just changed.
Nie Xiaoguang was calm. He turned around and packed his cotton coat. Facing Han Lu's gloomy eyes, he said without turning his head: "I will treat you as you are."
After saying that, he went out alone without caring about Han Lu. He was in a good mood, but he didn't feel sorry for Han Lu.
Most young people are heartless.
This sentence was not said by Mr. Lu Xun, because he had never experienced betrayal and rejection by his lover, so he could not say such words.
Nie Xiaoguang didn't care at all whether Han Lu would cry at home or whether her already weak body would get worse.
She thinks she is just a nobody and I think she is just a fool and a doll. There is no true love in this world. It's nothing but mutual deception.
-
"It just so happens that I stopped your car!"
Qin Huairu was a little anxious. Seeing that it was Li Xuewu sitting in the back seat of the car, she said only one sentence and was about to get in the car.
Nie Xiaoguang was so angry that he almost pulled out his gun and shot her. It was a crime enough to stop a car, and now she wanted to hitchhike?
Li Xuewu noticed her anxiety, so he pushed open the door of the car opposite and motioned for her to sit in the back.
"Jingru has given birth, please take me to the hospital."
After being glared at by the driver just now, Qin Huairu also realized that she had been rash and did not take into account that this was a small car.
When she received the call from downstairs, she was a little dumbfounded. She ran out in a hurry without paying attention to what kind of car it was.
After getting in the car, she touched her chest and said, luckily it was Li Xuewu's car. If it was someone else's, he would probably think she was crazy.
"United Hospital? Why is it so urgent?"
Li Xuewu glanced at her, reached out and patted Nie Xiaoguang's backrest, signaling him to drive.
"It's been a long time, but there's no movement."
Seeing the car moving forward, Qin Huairu also breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I originally planned to go see her, but was delayed because of the move."
"I remember her due date. Even if I didn't go there today, I would have gone to the hospital tonight. Who would have thought..."
She was the elder sister. If two sisters lived in the same city and didn't care about each other, who could they rely on?
This is Qin Jingru's first child. Although there is an old lady taking care of her at home, she still has no confidence.
She couldn't talk to Han Jiankun, so she could only tell her sister.
In the past, she had to work at Li Xuewu's house, so she had no time to visit him, and she rarely went back to the compound.
It was in the second half of this year, after she became pregnant and the fetus was in a stable position, she began to come to the compound frequently.
The relationship between the two sisters is still as good as before. After they each started their own families, they felt that living in the capital is not easy and they need to support each other.
If she wasn't there when her sister gave birth, she would have knelt down and kowtowed ninety-nine times, and only this one was missing?
"She is in good health and well-nourished. What are you afraid of?"
Li Xuewu was not good at comforting people. He could only say, "Besides, it's not like you're giving birth at home. There's nothing the hospital can't handle."
"Jiankun sounded anxious, I'm just afraid something might go wrong."
Qin Huairu did not dare to argue with him and only talked about the urgency that Han Jiankun mentioned on the phone.
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "Don't listen to him. He always treats Qin Jingru's small matters as big things. Most of them are exaggerations."
These words were comforting, after all, it was hard to tell how urgent the situation was over the phone.
Seeing him say this with such confidence, Qin Huairu's nervous heart relaxed a little.
"It's all my fault. It wouldn't have made a big difference if I moved a week later." She blamed herself and said, "Why did we move at the same time?"
"You're moving next week and she's giving birth next week?"
Li Xuewu was amused, patted his thigh and said: "If you can calculate accurately, please help me calculate when I will be free."
"Are you kidding me? You're so free." Qin Huairu was amused by his words and said angrily, "I don't believe that you will ever be free."
"Yes, you are right."
Li Xuewu let out a long breath, retracted his gaze from the car window, looked at her and asked, "Have you finished moving?"
"We've finished moving and are packing up now."
Qin Huairu nodded and said, "In fact, we should have moved it a long time ago, but my mother-in-law couldn't bear to throw this away and that away."
"My house is not big to begin with, so there is no room for so many things. I threw away all the useless things."
"Who hasn't been hungry?"
Li Xuewu smiled and ignored her complaints, asking, "Why didn't you think of buying a bigger one? Are you short of money?"
"Who doesn't need money?" Qin Huairu turned her head and rolled her eyes, saying, "I haven't heard of anyone spending all their savings to buy a house. It's enough to live in."
The two chatted for a while, and the car had already arrived downstairs of the United Hospital. Qin Huairu jumped out without waiting for the car to stop and rushed into the lobby.
"It's not her who's giving birth, why is she in such a hurry——"
Nie Xiaoguang was startled by her and couldn't help muttering something in the car.
Li Xuewu didn't care. He took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to him, asking him to buy some fruits and nutritional supplements.
This is also the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone. The internal supply and marketing service department of the group's sales corporation is not difficult to find. It is right inside the hospital.
It would be fine if he didn't know, he could make up for it later. Now that he has caught up, how can he turn a blind eye to it?
Qin Jingru and his wife are down-to-earth people, so this gift is indispensable.
Of course, he wouldn't go up.
It would be fine if Qin Jingru gave birth, and he brought gifts with him to fit the occasion, but what if she didn’t?
This hospital belongs to a group, so there's a lot of gossip. He knows that Qin Jingru worked as a nanny in his home. What if something gets out?
He was not being hypocritical, he just didn't want to embarrass Han Jiankun. This man was not generous when it came to women.
Even if Han Jiankun knew it himself, he would still feel upset when facing rumors, so it would be better to let Nie Xiaoguang go.
Drivers are meant to run errands. Twenty minutes later, Nie Xiaoguang came running back, panting, and said as soon as he got into the car: "I want to be a man in my next life."
"Where did you pick up this insight?"
Li Xuewu was looking at the information in his hand. When he heard him say this, he raised his head and looked at him with amusement.
Nie Xiaoguang got in the car and said as he turned the steering wheel: "You didn't see the howling outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, tut tut."
He explained this while shaking his head slightly and sighing, "They say giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. I used to think it was an exaggeration."
"Just for this?" Li Xuewu snorted and said, "You just think you don't feel any pain anymore, so you don't want a child anymore?"
These words were a reminder to Nie Xiaoguang that if he wanted to have both a son and a daughter, one of them would have to go through the gates of hell.
If he cherishes himself and is reluctant to leave, then he must cherish his lover even more, be grateful, and be grateful to his mother for giving birth to him.
The results of it?
Nie Xiaoguang was silent for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking, but he suddenly said, "I'm relieved. I won't have children in the future."
Li Xuewu, who was sitting in the back, was so angry that he laughed. If it weren't for the fact that he was driving, he really wanted to slap him in the face.
After all, we are young, and we feel that we can give everything, everything is still in time, and there is still a lot of time to regret.
Little do they know that the best years and the most precious opportunities are missed when they are ignorant and do not know how to cherish them.
Once you’ve missed it, you’ve missed it. There’s no way you can regret it. Otherwise, why do many people in their thirties shake their heads when they think back to their younger selves and the things they did?
If I had... I wouldn't be like this now...
This can be said up to the age of 39, so at the age of 40 you will have no doubts.
At forty, you will no longer have any troubles, nor will you lack regrets.
