"eat!"

Li Shu nibbled on the small piece of pear in her hand and generously gave it to Ba Ba.

Li Xuewu curled his lips in disgust and said, "I won't eat it because I'm angry."

"What happened?"

Li Shu still didn't understand why Ba Ba was angry, her little mouth was still chewing, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

Li Xuewu couldn't bear the taste of dirt in his daughter's mouth anymore and pinched her face with a smile. Li Shu was so frightened that she quickly hid behind her mother.

Li Shu's actions frightened Li Xuewu. He was really afraid that she would accidentally hit Gu Ning.

Gu Ning gave Li Xuewu a calm look, signaling him not to be nervous and scare Li Shu again.

He turned around and took Li Shu's little hand, wiped the pear juice from her mouth and hands with a towel, and taught her to practice hygiene.

The old lady walked out of the back room, saw her grandson coming back, and said with a smile: "It's such a short day, it only lasts so long."

As he spoke, he looked at the clock on the wall and asked Han Jiankun to sit on the sofa.

Han Jiankun was polite and dealt with the old lady's gossip.

The main thing was to ask about his family affairs. On the first day of work after the wedding, Qin Jingru said that the old lady was actually close to him.

Li Shu saw his wife coming out and was about to climb down from the sofa. Li Xuewu saw this and helped her.

Li Shu didn't know how many falls she suffered from this back roll, but she cried twice at most and would do it again next time.

He has small arms and legs, but he is quite courageous.

As Ba Ba put on her little flowered cloth shoes, Li Shu kicked off her legs and got off the ground. She grabbed some pear chunks from the plate and handed one to her wife.

The old lady accepted it with a smile and asked Li Shu if she had given it to Uncle Han.

Li Shu looked at Han Jiankun with big eyes, grabbed a piece again, and handed it to Han Jiankun happily.

Han Jiankun answered it with a smile and thanked her, causing Li Shu to run back to the old lady with a smile.

The old lady also smiled and held Li Shu in her arms. Watching her look at Han Jiankun, she introduced her to her as her aunt's lover.

How could Li Shu understand what a lover was? She was just familiar with Han Jiankun. At this moment, the wife said that she had lost interest and was going to the fish tank to figure out how to harm those goldfish.

"I took a short nap in the afternoon, but I'm still sleepy now."

The old lady looked like she had just woken up when she came out of the house, and now she yawned again.

Li Xuewu asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"There is no discomfort, just stay here"

The old lady knew that her grandson was concerned about her health, so she waved her hand and explained: "It's cold and I don't like to go out anymore, so I keep him indoors."

“Still more walking”

Li Xuewu knew that the old lady was tired. Qin Jingru was not at home these days, so the old lady had to make all the food.

Although he got up in the morning to help, he could only be a hand-in-hand. The old lady thought he was stupid.

After Gu Ning got pregnant, the old lady wouldn't let her touch the work at home. Regardless of whether she was overly preoccupied or distressed, she suffered a lot.

Li Xuewu asked her to go out more often, but his eyes met with Gu Ning's.

Gu Ning understood what Li Xuewu meant and the meaning of the old lady's words, and remained silent.

A few people chatted a few more words, teasing Li Shu who was running back and forth, and Qin Jingru asked everyone to eat.

Dinner was just as Qin Jingru said, the eggplant that the old lady wanted to eat was prepared, and Gu Ning's egg soup was also prepared.

Six people, four dishes, chatting while eating, which is quite cozy.

Li Xuewu was eating quickly, so he put down his chopsticks first and took the initiative to talk about going on a business trip to Yangcheng on Saturday.

The old lady sighed and complained about why he had so many field tasks this year.

Li Xuewu also explained with helplessness that the factory had heavy production tasks this year and so did his responsibilities.

Without saying anything else, I just gave a rough outline of the time to go to Yangcheng.

The old lady was thinking about things in Yangcheng and said something convenient about going to see Gu Ning's parents.

Li Xuewu glanced at Gu Ning and explained the distance from Yangcheng to Jinling with a wry smile.

Gu Ning also spoke about her parents' situation in Jinling, which reassured the old lady.

I won't be able to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law when I go to Yangcheng, but I can visit my third uncle's family. If I have time, I might even be able to go back to my old army.

Of course, as a soldier with an iron-clad camp and flowing water, he knew very well that when he returned to his old army, his commander might still see him, and most of the brothers under his command were no longer there.

When he mentioned the business trip to Yangcheng, he mainly wanted to persuade the old lady to take Li Shu back to the courtyard for a few days, and then pick the old lady back when he set off.

I heard it from the old lady's words just now, maybe she was homesick and angry.

It's been a while since I've been back to the courtyard house. No matter how good the living conditions here are, the old lady still misses her family.

Even though I know everything is fine at home, I still can't help but miss her.

This time I went to Yangcheng, and it was said that I would not be able to return until the end of the month. It was not easy for the old lady to go home.

When he and Gu Ning looked at each other just now, Li Xuewu was also communicating with her. It would be better to let the old lady go home now and stay there for fear of holding back his anger again.

But it's not easy to ask an old lady to take care of her, nor is it easy to send her back with nice words and good looks.

Hearing that her grandson was going on a business trip again, the old lady had no nerve to say that she would leave her second granddaughter-in-law alone and take her child home.

If she didn't take the initiative, how could Li Xuewu and Gu Ning, who were their grandchildren's wives, take the initiative to send her back? This would hurt the old lady's heart.

Both sides are concerned, both sides have concerns, and it's really hard to talk about this.

Gu Ning's silence just now also meant this. She was not good at dealing with such complicated family relationships, especially after having been with the old lady for a long time, and she was even more reluctant to let go.

Li Xuewu hadn't even mentioned sending her back to the courtyard with the baby, but the old lady had already made arrangements while feeding Li Shu.

"It's your time to be busy. Jingru is at home. Our mothers don't need you to worry."

As the old lady spoke, she glanced at Qin Jingru and said, "I've told Jingru about the daily food. You can buy whatever you need to buy."

"It won't happen~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "If you need anything at home, just call Guodong. It's convenient for him to deliver it. Jingru can call, right?"

"Yes, I know"

Qin Jingru nodded in response: "The old lady is worried about you~"

As she spoke, she responded to the old lady: "We don't lack anything at home. Brother Guodong said he would give us cabbage, radishes and so on. We don't need to provide briquettes or anything like that. Don't worry."

"Okay, don't worry"

The old lady fed Li Shu another mouthful of rice, and then said: "It's cold, and I don't know what the weather will be like in Yangcheng. Just prepare the clothes you need to prepare. It will be cold when he comes back."

This is true. By the time Li Xuewu returns to Beijing, it will be November anyway.

It’s already so cold in Beijing in October. If it comes to November, it will be extremely cold even if it doesn’t snow.

Last year, Li Xuewu came back from changing his job. Fortunately, he had a full set of winter clothes in his bag, otherwise he would have been freezing when he left the train station.

Don't compare the temperature in later generations with the current temperature. During those days in Jicheng, Li Xuewu heard from the Great Qiangzi that it could be as cold as minus 35 to 40 degrees.

There will be no such cold weather in future generations. At most, we spent twenty-five or sixty-six years in the winter.

The same is true here in Forty-Nine City. Last winter, Li Xuewu just used Forty-Nine City as the winter in Northeast China.

You see, who in the future still wears a hand mask on the street, but if you go to the street now, you will definitely see someone who doesn’t wear a hand mask. If you don’t wear a hand mask, you will be frozen into a fool.

"When do you leave on Saturday?"

Qin Jingru looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I'll help you pack your luggage later."

"Saturday night, I'll go there tomorrow after cleaning up."

Li Xuewu looked at the old lady and asked, "Why don't you go back to the courtyard and stay for two days?"

"I won't go back. I'm too busy."

The old lady said nonchalantly: "I don't know when your dad will come back. Let's wait until the year before."

"How long will it take?"

Li Xuewu counted the time and explained: "He and Lao San are working on Chinese herbal medicine cultivation technology. It will be good to go home in the past few days. Don't wait for them."

"When I come back from this trip, I will take you home to rest for a while."

After coaxing the old lady like this, Li Xuewu glanced at Gu Ning and said, "Sister-in-law, life is coming soon. I won't delay your return home to take care of your grandson."

"Hi~ I'm dear to everyone"

The old lady muttered: "I only hope that you are all well. The eldest son is about to give birth, and Xiao Ning's life is too busy."

"That's not what it is~"

Li Xuewu complimented: "With you here, I feel relieved when I go out. We are young and don't understand anything. If something happens, our claws will be numb."

The old lady was coaxed by her grandson, and she had a smile on her face. Everyone liked the feeling of being taken seriously.
