Chapter 439 Family Banquet(2/5)

When he came back from get off work yesterday, his mother-in-law had a few words with him in private.

It’s not that I want to offend my uncle and prevent him from pursuing the victory, nor is it that I want my uncle to bow his head and not look at who is up there.

Different from Gu Haitao's reserved attitude, Ding Fengxia's concern and care for her uncle were more direct.

Tell Li Xuewu clearly that even if he knows who that person is, it will have no effect or benefit on him, his work, or the friends he cooperates with.

Even if the fight breaks out and the final victory is achieved, it will not be Li Xuewu, let alone anyone else.

This matter is fundamentally an unequal sacrifice and being sacrificed.

It's just that the target who was originally sacrificed took advantage of the wind to counterattack, catching the opponent by surprise.

If we really postpone it, the longer it takes, the more attention Li Xuewu will receive.

Even though the people who called Gu Haitao were all complimentary to him, Ding Fengxia smiled but knew that this was not a good thing.

What Li Xuewu needs now is not fame or attention. He needs time and space to train and cultivate himself.

Play steadily, step by step.

Those who are eager to jump up and down may see endless scenery now, but in the end they will still fall down.

Because you can't stand firmly on your feet, how can you make progress?

Li Xuewu agreed with his mother-in-law's words and clearly understood his current needs.

He is not afraid of the person behind this incident, but he has to think about his future and his relationship.

If he had reported the incident to his father-in-law when it first happened, he might have suffered a little loss.

Now he has not suffered a loss, but has gained the upper hand, so he will naturally give up when the situation is good.

There is no need to mention this kind of thing openly. Gu Haitao helps him handle the subsequent matters, which further proves his ability, identity, background and connections.

Just for this one thing, if any of the children of the aristocratic families in the capital dared to provoke him without opening their eyes, this would be the fruit of victory.

The mother-in-law confessed the conditions offered by the other party. Before she could finish speaking, Li Xuewu had already shaken her head and refused.

If you really want to be in the army, you don't need to be arranged by the other party. You have the conditions for progress.

Now he just doesn't want to make progress, so he spreads his energy so widely. He just waits for the day when he needs it. When he gathers it together, no obstruction can stop him.

The mother-in-law also nodded in approval, saying that he and his father-in-law had the same temperament and ideas, but they were more compatible with his son-in-law.

Li Xuewu dare not congratulate himself on this. In some fields, he may have more ideas or insights.

But in front of his father-in-law, who has spent his life in military affairs, he can always recognize himself. It is only right to have a learning attitude and maintain enough respect and care.

Of course, he was also deeply moved by his mother-in-law's support and care, and getting along with her husband's family became more harmonious and natural.

Entering the foyer, he changed into his slippers and replied: "All my family members are coming over, and there are also a few little brothers, one of whom is from Steel City."

It's Saturday today and he doesn't have to go to work tomorrow. He has time to deal with housework.

Taking advantage of Lao Biaozi's return from Steel City, he had to get together anyway, so he took care of today's affairs.

My eldest grandma came to see me today, but the old lady was waiting impatiently at home. It was only when Li Shun and Li Xuecai came back that the family reunited.

If he really went to the courtyard, Gu Ning wouldn't be able to move, and it would be even more inconvenient for the child.

Only when Zhao Yafang, who was in confinement, came with her baby in her arms, could the family reunite easily.

“There are so many reasons to reunite today.”

Li Xuewu entered the living room with a smile and explained to his mother-in-law: "We all come to see the children. My father and the third child are coming back, and the old lady is coming too. She said she wanted to see you, so that's why."

“What a great family.”

Ding Fengxia combed her hair and prepared to go to the kitchen. She said with emotion: "No matter how talented you are, it is true that the family is together."

"Mom, stop working, you're not needed"

Li Xuewu smiled and said to her: "It has been arranged long ago. There will be a master chef cooking today, and I can't even put my hands on it."

"Yeah, I said we should hurry up and prepare the meal. I don't know how many people are coming."

Ding Fengxia asked with certainty: "Are you really prepared?"

"It's true. I was a master chef in the factory cafeteria when I was a child."

Li Xuewu nodded and explained: "Including them, there are about thirty people in my family. Qin Jingru has prepared all the materials, so you can get busy."

He pointed upstairs and said, "You have a rest first. There are so many people coming at night that you won't be able to rest."

"I'm not tired. It was already afternoon when my parents left, and I wasn't busy with anything."

Ding Fengxia walked to the sofa and sat down, and said to her uncle: "My mother-in-law is very nice, and it is a rare opportunity for us to sit together and chat."

"My mother asked you to stay a little longer."

Li Xuewu walked to the fireplace and filled up the firewood, and said with a smile: "She told me that you would save her a lot of work here."

"Come on, she won't let me work while I'm here, she'll rush to do all the work."

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "I'm waiting for your father to come to Beijing for a meeting. We'll stay for two more days and then go back together. There won't be room there and I have to go to work."

"Xiao'an and Xiaoyan may be coming back, and maybe they'll be making arrangements to see their nephew in just these few days."

"That's a good feeling"

Li Xuewu stood up and said, "Is sister-in-law coming back too?"

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. It's also a big month, so it's inconvenient and it's going to be a lot of trouble."

Ding Fengxia explained: "I said years ago that I wanted to go there and have a look, but I never had time. I thought I would go back from you and go have a look next month."

"Well, it's also inconvenient to work."

Li Xuewu sat opposite his mother-in-law and said: "Before, it was fine in Beijing and it was easy to take care of her. But now we are far apart, and it is difficult for you too."

"It's mainly my dad who needs to take care of his health."

He expressed concern: "The older a person reaches middle age, the more attention they need to pay attention to. We cannot think of maintenance until we are old."

"It's better now. You always call and he doesn't bother you, but I won't listen."

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "He insists on drinking the medicinal wine you mailed to me, saying it was your wish, and he still makes time to make phone calls."

“It’s all as it should be”

Li Xuewu picked up the fruit knife, picked up an apple and peeled it, and said: "Gu Ning actually misses you too. He doesn't say it, but every time he calls, he sits next to me and listens."

"She? Are you angry with me?"

Ding Fengxia smiled happily, but complained: "She never takes the initiative to call me. I have to take the initiative to call her, and she doesn't reply to letters."

She pretended to be harsh and said: "I said when I came here, if it weren't for my grandson's sake, I would pinch her."

"Hehehe, she did it on purpose."

Li Xuewu laughed and said: "Sometimes I forget, and she reminds me to call you."

Cut the apple into small pieces, handed one piece to the mother-in-law, and put the rest on small plates.

"She is sensitive but not good at expressing herself. There are some things she cannot say out loud. She misses you all."

"Oh~ I have my own daughter, how can I not know her personality~"

Ding Fengxia sighed and said: "No matter how much you talk or laugh, I can still be angry with her, but I have long been confused by my anger~"

"People say fate, but I didn't believe it before. It wasn't until I saw you and your beautiful couple that I believed it."

She smiled and said: "It's fate. Seeing that she is introverted and unsociable, her hair is almost turning gray because of her anxiety."

"But there's no point in being anxious. She doesn't even talk to me. She locks herself in the room and can't come out when she talks to me. Alas~"

After sighing, she looked at her uncle opposite and sighed: "It wasn't until I met you that the changes in her day by day made me know that I had chosen the right person."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Actually, we talk about a lot of topics. Sometimes she doesn't want to talk, but she will listen to what I say."

"How about it's fate?"

Ding Fengxia shook her head slightly and said: "Looking at her current state, I didn't dare to think about it when I came here. It's because you get along well with each other that she has the confidence to face life."

"What you said is that we will continue to work hard."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "Try to make Gu Ning grow up happily like Li Ning."

"You~"

Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "If you treat her like a child, she will never grow up and she will have a bad temper."

"It's good. We haven't been in a hurry yet."

Li Xuewu packed up the knife and introduced: "If she doesn't like it or doesn't want to, she will tell me, and I will do the same."

"Let's understand each other. Sometimes I am busy with work and go on business trips for several days, and she wants it too."

"I heard it's quite hard."

Ding Fengxia nodded and said: "You are more mature and stable than her, and you understand the world better. If you help her more, care more about her, and live a good life, your father and I will feel relieved."

"Don't worry"
