Chapter 230: Women are not inferior to men(3/4)
Seeing his grandfather asking, Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I thought about what I said in the past morning. I got up late."
He put up the towel, took a wooden comb to comb Lei Pei's hair, and said: "Last night, the couple came over to beg me. They are neighbors. How can I refuse? We just lack such a manpower here.
So I asked her to do it, and she can cook well."
The eldest grandma looked at Li Xuewu and said: "You still need to hire someone to cook?"
Li Xuewu walked out of the bathroom and said: "It's not just cooking. Think about it, seven men are doing physical work. Why don't we give them a little more careful food? Besides, there are people who rush to work early in the morning."
"Selling scraps, if you are still delayed at night, you won't be able to cook."
In order not to hurt his grandfather's feelings, Li Xuewu made his words clear and comforted his grandfather: "You didn't see Xiyuan'er getting up right away. You are so busy now, how can you have time to cook? Besides, those gentlemen
It’s a problem for us to wash our clothes, so it’s better to be clean.”
Grandpa also understood what Li Xuewu meant, nodded and said: "Then let's go like this, and be more careful in the future, for fear of spreading gossip."
Otherwise, having an elder in a family is like having a treasure. My grandfather was more concerned about Yu Li’s age.
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "That's why I'm cautious. Their house is separated from the house by a wall, and you can hear your voice even if it's loud, so I use hers."
The eldest grandma nodded and said: "I know you have thought of this, but you should also pay attention to it."
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's not convenient now. The office is still in the front room. When the front room is renovated, everyone will move there to work, and this problem will disappear."
The eldest grandma nodded and said, "That's the truth." Seeing that Li Xuewu had put on his clothes and finished cleaning up, he said, "The food is ready, let's go and have a meal."
Li Xuewu agreed and followed his grandma outside to sit in the room.
On the way, I also met Jia Zhang and Bang Gang who had just returned from cleaning up the yard.
Banggeng was very happy to see Li Xuewu and called to Li Xuewu: "Good morning, Uncle Wu"
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Morning, have you fed the chickens?"
Banggan pointed to the cabbage leaves in the basket and said: "I just picked them up. I'll chop them up and mix them with some rice bran before feeding them to the chickens."
Li Xuewu nodded, looked at Jia Zhang, who was staring blankly, and asked Banggeng: "Have you had breakfast?"
Bangge looked at his house and said, "My mother is doing it."
Under Jia Zhang's gaze, Li Xuewu rubbed Banggeng's big head and said: "Leave the basket home first, go with me to eat, and feed it when you come back."
Banggeng happily agreed, thrust the basket into his grandma's hand, and ran to the front yard behind Li Xuewu.
Jia Zhang wanted to shout Banggeng back, but she thought of Li Xuewu again, but seeing her grandson obeying Li Xuewu's words, and thinking of Banggeng's attitude towards her last night, she felt sour in her heart.
At this moment, Qin Huairu opened the door curtain and shouted to Jia Zhang: "Mom, it's time to eat. Where is Banggeng?"
Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu, put the basket in her hand under the window of her house, and said: "I went to have breakfast with Li Xuewu. I just said a word and left with him."
Qin Huairu looked at the direction of the back room, turned around and walked into the room and said, "Isn't that great? It just saves a meal."
Jia Zhang followed Qin Huairu into the house, looked at Qin Huairu with raised eyebrows, and said, "That is the grandson of my Jia family."
Qin Huairu ignored her mother-in-law's fuss and said, "Who cares? I won't give it to anyone else. Come here, Sophora japonica, and eat more today."
Jia Zhang thought about Li Xuewu's conditions, and it seemed that it was really the case. She felt that she was angry and boring, so she sat down to eat.
The reverse side of the house was very lively today. Silly Zhu also came here this morning to join in the fun. He thought he would cook by himself, but unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law came over today. As soon as he entered the room, he explained the situation and started cooking.
Although they all lived in the same courtyard, none of them, including Sha Zhu, had spoken to Yu Li very often.
Because of the newly married daughter-in-law, no one dares to tease her at the risk of being scolded.
The big man in this house suddenly had a little daughter-in-law. Although she couldn't eat or touch her, she could see her.
While cooking, Yu Li had already been watched by several people in turn.
Yu Li was also a little worried. In the eyes of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, these people were usually considered poor and could be "full of evil" at any time.
But after being busy all morning, these people didn't even dare to look at themselves. They only came in shyly to wash their faces, and they just took advantage of the time of washing their faces to look at themselves.
This is completely different from the image of the father-in-law and the mother-in-law. I serve soup and cakes to these people, and everyone accepts them politely. This is completely inconsistent with the image of a "down and out evil person".
As soon as the soup and cakes were divided among these people, Li Xuewu came in followed by his grandfather, followed by Qin Huairu's family boss.
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the room, Lao Biaozi and others stood up to say hello. Even Wen Saner and Ye Erye stood up.
Li Xuewu waved his hand and asked a few people to sit down. This made Banggeng envious. Uncle Wu was so awesome and famous.
Li Xuewu, who was holding the card, waved his hand towards Yu Li and said: "This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the third uncle's family in the front yard. My name is sister-in-law, and you follow suit, Biaozi."
Lao Biaozi and the others stood up again and called Yu Li sister-in-law. For some reason, Banggeng followed suit.
Yu Li didn't know whether she was misunderstood by the sister-in-law's name or something else. Anyway, her face was a little red and she said to a few people: "Hello everyone, my name is Yu Li. From now on, I will be responsible for washing clothes and cooking for everyone, and helping everyone."
, do you have anything useful to say?”
Lao Biaozi and the others were naturally polite to Yu Li. Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xuewu stared at the big fat face at hand and said: "Why do you call me sister-in-law? Your mother asked you to take care of Yu Li."
What’s it called?”
Banggeng thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, I haven't called him, I haven't seen him a few times."
Li Xuewu thought about the temperament of Yu Li's little daughter-in-law who used to live in seclusion, so he said to the stick: "Call me Auntie."
Bangge obediently called her "Auntie", and Yu Li and Lao Biaozi also agreed after being polite.
Li Xuewu watched Lao Biaozi and the others introduce themselves and did not talk about them anymore. Instead, he pointed directly at Wen San and Ye Er Ye and said: "This is Biaozi's third uncle. We all call him Sanjiu. This is ours."
At the stall, Mr. Ye, we all call you Mr. Ye, so you should call them the same."
Yu Li greeted Wen San'er and Ye Erye politely, and Wen San'er both responded politely.
Li Xuewu pointed to his grandpa and said: "This is my grandpa. If you don't know how to collect waste here, just ask the second master and my grandpa."
Then he pointed at Shazhu and said: "This is Brother Zhuzhu, you know me."
Yu Li also said hello to these people, and Sha Zhu was particularly happy.
I thought I wouldn't introduce myself, but I didn't expect that I introduced myself even though I already knew Yu Li, which meant that Li Xuewu's small group accepted me.
After the introduction, Li Xuewu said: "As my sister-in-law said just now, from now on, everyone's three meals a day, washing, sewing, and mending will be handed over to sister-in-law Yu Li. There is too much work in the west courtyard.
You can also call me sister-in-law, but there is one difference."
While talking, Li Xuewu looked at a few young people and said: "My sister-in-law is a young lesbian. You should be more careful and polite in your life and work."
Everyone understood what Li Xuewu meant and nodded in agreement. Then Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Let's eat."
After saying that, everyone started to eat. Li Xuewu pointed at Yu Li and said, "Give this boy a bowl and a piece of cake."
After finishing speaking, he said to Banggeng: "From now on, if your family is late for cooking, come here to eat. Find a place to sit by yourself. Tell your aunt how much you eat. If it's not enough, just talk, go ahead."
Banggeng was pushed by Li Xuewu, and he picked up the bowl from the table with some excitement. As Yu Li filled up the radish soup, he started eating while carrying a piece of cake.
Bangge has never seen such a lively dining scene. A few men were chattering, drinking soup and eating cakes. It was like the Juyi Hall in the Water Margin in the movie. Intuitively, the food here is better.
The food at home is delicious.
Li Xuewu himself filled the soup with his eldest grandma and Mr. Ye and went to the Kang table in the house to eat.
"Grandma, the east room is free. Let's set up some tables. Let's eat there from now on. There's almost no room for seating here."
Grandma nodded and said she understood. The west courtyard project is not finished yet. Ask Master Dou and they will be able to finish it in a while.
Yu Li's craftsmanship is still good. The flatbread is not as delicious as Sister Lou's, but it's okay. The radish soup is pretty good.
Li Xuewu ate quickly, so he got off the table first, asked Yu Li, who was still busy, to eat, and then went out to harness the horse.
Because my bicycle had been kept in the factory that day when I was working on the case, and it is still there now. Today, I didn’t want to walk, so I had to ride a horse.
The saddle that my grandma had repaired last time had been placed in the east room, and I carried it out of the door.
People are like this. Once they have transportation, they don’t want to walk. Ever since Li Xuewu bought a bicycle, he rarely walks. Li Shun, who walks to and from get off work every day, said that Li Xuewu can’t wait to go out and ride his bicycle even if he goes to the toilet.
Daqingma has obviously worn this saddle before, and Li Xuewu did not kick around when fastening the strap.
I said hello to my grandma who came out after dinner, got on the horse, and rode outside the gate.
It was okay in the alley. When we got to the main road, the big green horse started running without Li Xuewu's shouting.
Horses are like that, they have to be ridden out for a run from time to time, otherwise no matter how good the horse is, it will be useless.
Daqingma seized the opportunity. When he got on the main road, he ran hard for a while, then jogged again, and stumbled into the steel rolling mill.
Xu Ning and Han Yating were leading the team to check at the gate. When they saw Li Xuewu riding a horse, they hurried out and helped Li Xuewu hold the horse's head.
"Section Chief, you are really worthy of this, you are tall and majestic."
Li Xuewu sniffed and said, "I don't know if I have a share. The wind was quite strong, and the snot came out of my nose."
These words amused Han Yating who came over. When she saw Li Xuewu dismounting, she said: "It's a good luck to come on horseback today."
Li Xuewu held up his hat with a riding crop and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Han Yating said with a smile: "A pen sweeps away thousands of troops to suppress Xiaoxiao, a horse can conquer all directions with a single gun, hahaha."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Li Xuewu stood at the gate of the factory, threw his head up and laughed in front of a crowd of inspectors and workers, letting go of his recent depression.
Things start and end here.
