Before Qin Jingru goes home every night, she drags her bamboo basket around to collect toys like a little girl picking mushrooms.

I have to dig through flower pots, under the piano, in the corners of cabinets, and even in the sandpit.

This kid is like a skinned monkey, playing with his toys as grenades, and he can even fish out small iron mice in the fish pond.

After everything was packed up, the couple told Li Xuewu to go home.

Li Shu had already fallen asleep by this time. Although she had to take a nap during the day, she was very energetic and had to run out of battery before nine o'clock and go to bed.

Liu Yin came out to see them off after washing up, and they joked a little more at the door.

After watching the couple riding a bicycle across the street, Li Xuewu and his mother went back to the house.

It's not as if the couple has worked so hard that they have to send her out in person and watch her leave before returning.

It's cool in the yard right now, and the evening breeze makes people feel lazy.

His mother was sleepy, so Li Xuewu turned off all the lights downstairs, and the two of them went upstairs while talking about going home tomorrow.

------------------

On the second floor, the study room is still lit.

However, Gu Ning did not read in the study, but just took advantage of the light over there.

Children are still very sensitive to light, especially at night, and I am afraid that they will get used to it and not sleep.

Seeing his mother return to the room, Li Xuewu closed the window in the small living room, leaving only half of the study room open for ventilation.

It is impossible to leave the master bedroom side open, and even the door must be closed for fear that the children will catch cold.

After hearing his voice going upstairs, Gu Ning came out of the master bedroom and gestured in the direction of the study.

Li Xuewu glanced at the child, followed her to the study room, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you..."

Gu Ning hesitated a little, then turned around and sat down behind the desk.

Li Xuewu did not rush her, but poured her a glass of warm water in the small living room and handed it to her.

"Is it very difficult?"

"Well, the leader talked to me today."

Gu Ning held the cup in his hand, lowered his head and explained with a somewhat disappointed expression: "He asked me if I wanted to be transferred from the front line to a management position."

When he said this, Gu Ning raised his head with some concern, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Go to the political department. The leader said that it is convenient to take care of the children, and it is also convenient for me to take care of the family."

She looked at Li Xuewu's dull gaze, lowered her head and smoothed the hair around her ears without saying anything else.

Li Xuewu moved his chair and sat opposite her, holding her hand holding the cup.

"What do you think?"

"I...I didn't think much about it"

Gu Ning said nervously: "The leader is right. The child is still young now, you are busy with work, and you have to overwork your mother-in-law to help me take care of the child. I just thought..."

"Your leader is taking care of you."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "But our family has no practical difficulties and we don't need him to take care of us. After all, we only have one child."

He squeezed Gu Ning's hand and said, "Don't my seven or eight children also go to work?"

Gu Ning raised his head in surprise, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Don't you want me to have more time to take care of the family?"

"No, that's not the question I was hoping for."

Li Xuewu looked seriously into her eyes and said: "I hope you pursue your career and ideals, not that you accommodate your family."

"Mothers take care of their children out of love for their grandchildren, and even more because of this condition."

He looked at Gu Ning and nodded, encouraging: "Whatever you like to do, do it, whether it is a front-line position or a management position."

Seeing Gu Ning's eyes drifting towards the master bedroom, he knew that she was reluctant to leave the child and was also thinking about the child.

Her character is somewhat unique, and in this era, she is viewed as a little different by the public.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in later generations, such a character is rare. Who can calm down and open the book?

Many people will not finish reading a book in a year, even if it is a famous novel.

"The child will grow up eventually. He is not everything to you and me. He is a member of the family, and he will also have his own life and ideals."

"Well, let me think"

Gu Ning understood his opinion, nodded seriously, and said, "I'm not ready to be his mother yet."

"You've done a great job"

Li Xuewu knew that women at this time would be a little melancholy and emotional, so he just smiled and comforted her, cared about her, and did not put pressure on her.

"Li Shu even said that you are a good mother, which proves that you are very good at this matter!"

"She can talk—"

Gu Ning couldn't help but smile when she thought of Li Shu's cuteness. Then she looked at him and asked, "Is Teacher Wu from Jinmen okay?"

"Well, he said he wanted to work."

Li Xuewu explained calmly: "It happened that Guodong said that she wanted to open a recycling bin in Jinmen, so I introduced her there."

"Where is the child? Leave it to the nanny?"

Gu Ning frowned slightly and said, "Actually, it feels uncomfortable to leave your children to work."

"Well, I leave it to the nanny to take care of."

Li Xuewu nodded, and then explained: "The working hours there are relatively relaxed, mainly for business. I can handle some work even at home, which is quite suitable."

Looking at the surprised Gu Ning, he smiled and said: "If you like it, I can arrange for you to do this, but it will be more difficult."

"I can't do it. I'm used to working as a doctor and I don't want to change my environment."

Gu Ning picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water and said, "I've been like this since I was a child. I'm afraid of changing to new environments, even going to school."

She explained with some embarrassment: "I was very scared when I went to junior high school after graduating from elementary school, and I got used to it for a long time."

"It turned out that it was still the same when I was in junior high school and then in high school. It was Gu Yan who encouraged me."

"Brother-in-law? How is he doing lately?"

Li Xuewu heard her mention Gu Yan and asked with a smile: "Last time, I told him to stay at home for a few more days to rest, but he didn't stay at home anymore, and I didn't see him going out to play with his old friends."

"You have your own thoughts and your own life."

Gu Ning shook his head slightly and said: "He is busy with training. He may want to complete his studies as soon as possible so that he can have the opportunity to lead troops. This is his ideal."

"Well, it's a good thing to have ideals and dare to strive. People always have to grow up."

Li Xuewu followed Gu Yan and asked Gu An again, especially since Mu Hongyan was about to give birth.

"Oh, by the way, my sister-in-law is due to give birth next month, and my mother has already passed."

Gu Ning said with some embarrassment: "She called me at noon today to scold me."

"I said I didn't contact her when I didn't have children, and I don't know how hard it is to be a mother when I have children... Anyway, I talked a lot, and said I didn't have the convenience of a phone call and didn't know how to write a letter."

After hearing her reminder, Li Xuewu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was too busy and forgot. I didn't remember to call or write a letter. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault, I should have written it"

Gu Ning took out a pen and paper and said, "Even if it's just to prevent her from scolding me, I still have to write."

Li Xuewu took a pencil from her hand, tore out two pages of paper and wrote with her.

While the two were writing letters, Gu Ning suddenly thought of something and raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with your schooling? Do you still need tutoring?"

"Well, I'm still learning from the teacher."

Li Xuewu sighed deeply. It was really difficult to study in this university.

He is tired, and the teacher is also tired and has to accommodate his time.

Fortunately, there were no classes in school at this time, otherwise who would teach him this way.

On weekdays, I would go to the teacher's house to ask about my homework and receive the self-study content and homework for the next week, once a week.

He works hard because he has a lot of troubles at work and is under a lot of pressure in studies.

There is no semester system, and there is no holiday system. It is completely self-study and inspiration. It is a good opportunity for some people, but for others it really tests their time management ability.

Fortunately he has some experience in this area.

------------------

On Sunday, the sun was still bright and colorful.

Last night, Gu Ning was worried that his studies would be affected by going home today.

Li Xuewu had long been accustomed to using time in such extreme situations and didn't care at all.

In the morning, I took my daughter for a walk around the lake, played with the old man, and then went home to have breakfast with Li Shu in my arms.
