Perhaps because she was going home, her mother Liu Yin was in a good mood and was smiling all morning.

The old man is like this, he coaxes this to think about that, and coaxes that to think about this again.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Li Xuewu watched his mother go to pack things, including the children's and Li Shu's. When he saw Qin Jingru coming out of the restaurant, he asked.

Last night at the dinner table, she mentioned that she was going back to the courtyard for a day out, so she said she would stay at home and clean up the house and do a thorough cleaning.

Because Qin Huairu also lived in the courtyard, every time the family went back, Li Xuewu would ask her if she was going to visit her sister.

But most of the time Qin Jingru is not willing to go back to the courtyard, probably for many reasons.

During the time she lived there, the people in the courtyard did not leave a good impression on her.

Of course, she didn't leave a good impression on the people in the courtyard.

It was said that she was just lucky. Just like her sister, she found a good match in the city.

It's not necessarily envy and jealousy, it's mostly gossip and unwillingness, or pure gossip.

The pride of city people looked down upon rural girls, and she couldn't stand the pretentiousness of city people.

Furthermore, her past with Shazhu was, after all, a "dark history" and it would not be embarrassing for Han Jiankun.

Therefore, when Li Xuewu asked, she just shook her head and refused, using cleaning as an excuse.

Maybe you really want to clean the upstairs and downstairs thoroughly. Even if you pay attention to hygiene on weekdays, there will be dead spots left.

When sending them out, Qin Jingru specifically told Han Jiankun to come back quickly so that he could help her clean up the house.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Han Jiankun is also used to being bullied by her, and she will do whatever she says.

On the way, Li Xuewu asked him with a smile why he could endure Qin Jingru's nagging and domineering behavior.

Han Jiankun smiled awkwardly and didn't say much. He just said that she worked hard and was soft-spoken.

But Liu Yin understood. Qin Jingru worked with her lover to make money to support the family. She took care of everything inside and outside, and she had to serve him when she got home.

In the eyes of rural people, such a daughter-in-law is a basic requirement, but in the eyes of urban people, she is already very qualified.

If Qin Jingru was from the city and had some education, she would not have to worry about getting married even if her personality was a bit out of the ordinary.

In the car, Gu Ning held the child, Li Xuewu held Li Shu, and the family of five returned to the courtyard.

I am also afraid that my mother will miss her children and the old lady after being away from home for a long time, and even more afraid that the old lady will miss her and her children.

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had their struggles when they were young, they still miss each other and talk about each other as they get older.

So far this morning, she has mentioned to the old lady several times that she is worried about her mother-in-law's health.

The weather was dry in winter, and the old lady smoked dry cigarettes and coughed for several days, and she was about to get ready when she came out.

Although my mother-in-law has always been in good health, she is already getting older after all.

Although Zhao Yafang is taking care of her children at home, there are always times when she needs help from the old lady.

If she was tired or something else, she wouldn't be there and wouldn't even care.

This concern was relieved when the car stopped in front of the courtyard.

Some neighbors were talking at the door, and some took the initiative to say hello when they saw cars approaching.

Liu Yin smiled and took the child from Gu Ning's arms, greeted them twice and entered the courtyard.

She must have been homesick, otherwise she couldn't have walked so fast. When Li Xuewu hugged Li Shu and carried his bag, they disappeared.

Gu Ning closed the car door in a funny manner and followed him into the hospital carrying Li Ning's diaper bag.

Because Li Xuewu was holding Li Shu, he stopped chatting with the neighbors at the door.

He has quit smoking now and is trying to minimize this kind of ineffective social interaction.

To say hello to someone you know, a few words are enough. No matter how much you say without a cigarette, it will be boring and not fun.

Hearing the commotion, Grandma entered the courtyard from the sales department of the recycling station, smiled and took Li Shu from him to tease her.

Li Xue also came out of the house, met them and took the bag from Gu Ning's hand.

"I also said, it's already this time, why haven't you come back yet? If you don't come back, grandma will go to the ground to pick you up."

"Hahaha" Liu Yin said with a smile: "I came out after breakfast and rushed back in a hurry. I didn't waste any time."

Liu Yin entered the house with her child in her arms and greeted Zhao Yafang and the others lively again.

Li Xuewu and his eldest grandma stood in the courtyard, coaxing Li Shu to play, and the laughter could be heard in the room.

"Guodong is not at home?"

I looked back at the inverted room. The windows were open, but it was very quiet.

My eldest grandma also just came back from the West Courtyard, and obviously there are only a few people in the family.

"I followed Warden Huang to Chadian, saying I wanted to meet some friends and see the preparations there."

Chadian Farm finally accepted Li Xuewu's suggestion and stopped operating the small winery.

Their kind of bulk wine can only be supplied to small supply and marketing cooperatives in the surrounding area.

The taste and alcohol concentration are difficult to control, and there are no very professional and skilled technicians to control it, so the taste of each bite is different.

Yes, there are some prisoners who can make wine, but will they expose their ancestral craftsmanship?

These days, there are a lot of people who can get in, and those who are simple and honest will not squat on the fence.

A prison is not suitable for quality control products because they are inherently uncontrollable.

The most suitable products are the simple, practical and immediate products proposed by Li Xuewu.

For example, furniture, breeding, papermaking, printing, etc. It can be seen at a glance that they are good.

Shen Guodong has finally caught the toad, and he is bound to grab a handful of powder on the line between the prison and the farm.

After seeing the successful examples of "re-education through labor" in the No. 1 and No. 3 Prisons and their achievements, these related prisons also followed suit.

It’s not that they have never engaged in economic income-generating projects, but they just lack the channels to process and realize them quickly.

Production costs and commodity detention will put huge pressure on the prison's already weak fund management links.

Therefore, now there is a supply chain that provides production materials, and the produced products can be returned to the supply chain channels for sale and monetization.

The hardware and software conditions of these prisons still depend on those received earlier and built through simple repairs.

Funds are urgently needed to renovate prison buildings and manage buildings, and funds are also needed to improve the treatment of supervisors and the living conditions of prisoners.

Shen Guodong often went there to discuss business and saw prisoners serving meals. In some places, the food was not even as good as pig food.

This is not to punish them, but the current economic situation is already a little stretched to maintain and manage so many people.

Many prisons send people to farms, or the prisons themselves engage in small tertiary industries.

They want to work in brick factories, tile factories, mud pot factories, anything that can be put on the market.

It is difficult to see clay basins in later generations, but at this time, and even in the 1980s, clay basins were still an important washing tool in rural areas.

Making money is making money, but things can easily go wrong.

That thing deals with soil, not only with machinery, but also with a furnace.

Not only is it easy to tire people to death, but it is also easy to cause serious personal injury accidents.

This is completely different from feeding pigs and cows, doing carpentry, and printing.

The second master is still in charge of the big and small affairs of the family. Although he does not go out to run business, all the logistics work belongs to him.

Shen Guodong couldn't catch Li Xuewu now. No one said this, so he followed his grandfather and second master to communicate about these things.

He also gradually got used to it. If he had important questions, he would go to the old foxes on the mountain for consultation. For general work, he would consult with his two "treasures" at home.

The two men were talking about business in the courtyard outside Chuihua Gate, when Ge Shuqin walked in from outside with her child in her arms and a vegetable basket in her hand.

"Deputy Director Li, you are back"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, are you going to buy groceries?"

It was rare for Li Xuewu to hear her take the initiative to say hello. This was something she only saw after going to work.

When she saw him before, Ge Shuqin would either walk over with her head lowered, or hide aside obediently.

He didn't care about the petty-minded people in the courtyard or the trivial "grievances and grudges", including against Yan Fugui.

There is only such a large space in the human heart. If all these things are installed, what else can be done and what else can it be.

Ge Shuqin must have experienced so many ups and downs after joining the workforce and became enlightened.

They all pay attention to breaking down and then standing up, and then become adults.

Of course, what we are talking about here is not that you first become a broken shoe, then build a memorial arch, and finally become that kind of person.

I don’t know what will happen to Ge Shuqin in the future, but looking at it now, I can see that she has learned to be a good person.

"It's time to buy some groceries for the weekend. Let's take the kids out for a walk."

"Little girl, you look weird at Wen Jing. What's your name?"
