A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 358 A ray of sunshine!
After Li Yuan came out of Sun's house, the streets were already lit up with lights.

He told Sun Da to go back to the house quickly, and told Sun Jianguo to clean up a cool room and come out. After two days, he sent someone to bring New Year's goods, and he didn't care about what to say anymore, and hurried to pick up people from Nie's house.

When I knocked on the door "out of breath", I saw a big yellow sheep hanging on the bicycle rack behind me, as well as two pork knuckles, two fish, a few pieces of roe deer meat and so on.

Nie Yu, who originally complained about him coming to pick up people so late, exclaimed: "Where did you get all these things?"

Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I got some New Year's goods for my mother. I ran around all afternoon, so my mother doesn't have to run. It's cold now, so I can take it easy and eat slowly. We'll be here tomorrow. , I sorted out the meat neatly."

Nie Yu pursed her lips and looked at her husband with a smile, while Li Cuiyun said happily: "You kid, I wonder why you have been away for so long and come back with so much meat!"

Don't think that since the reform and opening up, the Nie family is such a family, they can eat meat openly.

The reselling of approval documents has not started yet. The Emperor will be in power in two years, and the good days of the government officials will only begin then. It will be like opening up a new world...

I can’t say that I can’t afford to eat right now, but I’m definitely not rich enough to just take home a sheep.

When Li Yuan saw Nie Yuanchao coming out with square steps, he didn't want to explain more and said, "Mom, I'll put the cool house down for you. Bring Xiao Qi here tomorrow and I'll clean it up. Don't use the knife, it'll be too heavy and you'll get hurt." On."

Ouch, this uncle is so considerate!

Today is indeed the happiest day for Li Cuiyun in the past few years!
……

The bicycles were all left at Nie's house. Li Yuan took his newlywed wife's hand and walked home, which was not too far.

Nie Yu chuckled and suddenly said: "Yuanzi, thank you."

Li Yuan asked curiously: "How to say?"

Nie Yu smiled and said: "You made my mother so happy that even my father gave in..."

Li Yuan held her hand tightly and said with a smile, "It's all as it should be."

Nie Yu shed tears as soon as she said it, and said: "But he said such excessive words back then and hurt you like that..."

People are different. Some people's clear eyes reveal self-righteous stupidity, while some people's clear eyes reveal all infatuation.

From Nie Yuanchao's point of view, it was enough to vomit three liters of blood.

But looking at it from Li Yuanduo's perspective, her heart was warmed by her.

When a man meets a girl like this, he must cherish her.

Because you will never meet another person in your life...

Li Yuan laughed, hugged Nie Yu in his arms, and said, "I've already said it. If I were your father, I might have done more. Xiaoyu, are you happy today?"

Nie Yu nodded and responded: "Yes."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's worth it. What you said to appease your father-in-law may not be true. But, who gave me such a beautiful, gentle, lovely, virtuous and sensible wife? What I said to my father-in-law may not be true, but I am truly happy to see you happy and hear you happy. Don’t think that Daxue is the only one at the top of my heart. She has her nobility, but your heart is all about me. You can even risk your life, so you are the one. The one that hurts the most in my heart. It’s just that my love for you is too restrained and deep, so you didn’t realize it. Don’t tell them.”

If it weren't for something wrong, Sister Yu swore that she would push this man down and risk his life!

Nie Yuxing looked at Li Yuan with full eyes and said, "Tonight, it's up to you."

Li Yuan's eyes were like light bulbs, they lit up in a flash!

……

"Hey, where is the person? Why is there no trace of him?"

When Li Yuan and Nie Yu returned to Lou's mansion, they found that unlike the expected bustle of people, it was actually a little quiet. When they walked in, there were only Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiu, Cao Yongshan, He Pingshi, Zhao Yazhi, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, and Xiao. Apart from the ninth family members, there are only three other family members: Li's mother, eldest sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law.

A Japanese advertisement was played on the 22-inch color TV: "Toshiba color TVs are famous for their black stripes. The black stripes can make the image clearer..."

loud I didn’t want to eat, and I was anxious to go back and have fun. The gay men didn’t drink well last night, so they went to the streets to plunder a lot of food today. So the glutinous rice balls simply went to Datang and called a master chef, got two more sheep, and went back to eat We went to roast sheep and drink wine. Li Kun and the others also said that if you come back early, you can go back. They were not ready last night and they will definitely defeat Uncle Eighth today! Sister-in-law Three and the others want to stay, but there are so many children and no one can look after them. , they all went back to take care of their children."

Li Yuan smiled and walked up to Mother Li and said cheerfully: "It's best for me to stay here and wait for me."

Mother Li smiled lovingly and said a little embarrassedly: "I just want to live upstairs and see what it's like..."

Li Yuan said "Hey" and said, "Mom, it would be great if you, dad, and sister-in-law come to live upstairs in the future!"

Before Mother Li could say anything, her elder sister-in-law laughed angrily and said, "Quickly pull her off! Is it fair for my mother-in-law to take my sister-in-law and go live with her sister-in-law's house while she ponders her own thoughts?"

Lou Xiao'e said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, this is my sister-in-law's house, isn't it our own? It's called Lou Mansion, and it's not from the Lou family. It used to belong to my natal family, but now it has been replaced, and it belongs to our Li family. . My parents-in-law can live there, and my sister-in-law can live there too! You have been fulfilling your filial piety for us, but if you can’t even live in the house, then what have we become! Don’t do this!”

The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile: "Okay, okay! I said something wrong, is it possible? It's not that I can't live in it, but I'm not used to it. It's just a big house here, and my mother and I are staring at each other every day? Is it possible to live in Qinjiazhuang? Walking around, I talked about ancient times with the old people in the village. Hey, who doesn’t envy our family now? I went out for a walk early in the morning, just like the old Fengjun in the past, saying hello to everyone and walking around. The mood is good, and the food tastes sweeter. It’s not possible here..."

Lou Xiao'e understood and said with a smile: "Then I would like to come and stay for two days when I want to stay in peace and quiet."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "When I come back, you can live here with me, okay?"

Mother Li smiled even happier, but still shook her head: "One day is enough, two days is enough."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Well, just stay for one day. I can just go back to Qinjiazhuang to stay more often."

Mother Li looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Xiao'e said you and Girl Yu went to get the certificate?" She looked at Nie Yu.

Nie Yu suddenly became shy, but the smile on his face was so sweet that he nodded sheepishly: "Yes!"

Xiao Qi suddenly covered his forehead and couldn't bear to look directly.

He Pingshi, Cao Yongshan, and Zhao Yazhi all laughed out loud when they saw it.

Even Lou Xiu couldn't help but laughed.

Lou Xiao'e smiled at Nie Yu and said, "Congratulations. After so many years, your dream has finally come true."

Nie Yu couldn't care less about arguing with Ni Nu at this moment, and said seriously: "This certificate is just a small gift he gave me. It doesn't mean anything. You are still our eldest sister."

Now it was Lou Xiao'e who felt embarrassed and said: "What's wrong with the eldest sister? It's like a club." Then she explained to Li's mother and two sisters-in-law: "We have known each other since we were children, and we know Yuanzi better. It's still early. The current situation has been brought about by the world. I didn't expect to get along with each other like real sisters. Life goes by very fast. It's rare to have such a fate, so let's live it like this."

Mother Li clapped her hand and agreed with her eyes: "That's good, that's good."

He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan looked at each other with deep emotions in their hearts.

How could they not be like this...

……

"How about going to Nie's house today? What did Xiaoyu's father say?"

Late at night, after taking care of Li's mother to sleep in the east bedroom on the second floor, Li Yuan's family of four went to the west bedroom. Before going to bed, Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Poor parents in the world, for Xiaoyu's happiness, my father-in-law cried bitterly today, apologized to me repeatedly, and burst into tears..."

Lou Xiu, who was changing her pajamas, couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, and said, "You can talk about it later when Xiaoyu comes out from the shower!"

Li Yuan said "Huh" and said confidently: "Speak out and say it out. What am I afraid of? Of course, there is a reason why I don't say it. It's to take care of Xiaoyu's self-esteem. After all, he is her father."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't hold back her laughter, so she came over to tear his mouth apart, but the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e pushed Li Yuan away and said with watery eyes: "We are an old couple now, so we are not tired of it."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Those who find it annoying are turning love into family affection. They are just tired of it. I'm not tired of it. You will always be my silly son."

Lou Xiaoe laughed like a goose...

A little while later, Nie Yu came out wearing only her underpants, and after Lou Xiu pushed her down in surprise, a night of lingering began...

……

The next morning.

Mother Li, who had not slept well all night, took the earliest bus back to Qinjiazhuang early in the morning with her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, who also had not slept well. Compared to the warm earthen bed, city dwellers slept softly. Lying on the bed is simply a torture!
Li Yuan couldn't help but could only send the three of them to the shuttle bus and watched the three old ladies leave as if they were fleeing for safety.

Er Lou couldn't stop laughing. After breakfast, the two of them waited for Li Xing and Li Si to come back and go skating at the Shichahai Ice Rink as a family.

Although Hong Kong Island is not an ice and snow area, there is also an ice skating rink in West Kowloon, but how can that kind of ice rink be compared with Shichahai?

Li Yuan smiled and said: "The public security is not very good now, so you should be careful."

Lou Xiao'e was not afraid: "Tangyuan, Xiaosi, Fugui, Jixiang, and Ruyi are all boxing practitioners, but they can't protect a few of us?"

Lou Xiu smiled and said: "Li Kun and Li Cheng will definitely come too. The children were clamoring to play yesterday. It doesn't matter."

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Sure."

He just reminded that, let alone others, the presence of Li Xing, Li Si, and Fugui alone would be enough to scare those so-called recalcitrant masters...

……

Mikuliang Hutong.

This is actually one of the reasons why many places dare not let go and attack.

Qin Daxue, that reckless Sanniang, looked like she was risking her life, which made countless people tremble in fear.

"In the end, we still need to develop the economy. We must find jobs and a way out for these young people..."

Gu Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "Li Yuan's eldest son, the one who treated Fatty with him in western Ganxi and whom I gave him a five-pointed star, is also back, right?"

Secretary Wang nodded and said, "He's back."

Gu Gu smiled and said: "I'm a weirdo. Except for Sister Cao, I don't like to deal with official people. If Mr. Qiao invites him, he won't go. Then forget it, don't bother him. You ask someone to do it That Xiao Li just said, I'll invite him to my house for dinner and meet old friends."

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "Okay! People in Hong Kong also say that Xiao Li is much easier to deal with and more polite than Lao Li."

……

It was not until noon that the Li family's troops returned to the Lou Mansion.

Li Xing smiled and said to Li Yuan: "Brother and the others drank until two o'clock last night, lit a bonfire, and sang and danced."

Li Kun said: "I haven't been this happy for many years. I'm so happy."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Just be happy. There are not many lesbians today. Can you bring so many children to Shichahai to see them? The world is not quiet now. There are many child thieves. Shichahai belongs to stubborn masters and gangsters. Assembly point……"

Li Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle Eighth, you should tell Shiba about this. He knows all the most famous recalcitrants in Shichahai."

Li Yuan, who had been hiding behind him, felt worse than death. He came out with a mournful face, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Uncle Eighth, I didn't go to them to get to know each other, they got to know me."

Li Yuan didn't understand: "What do I know from you?"

Li Yuan said: "Early last year, after the eighth aunt became the deputy general, didn't she start beating up criminal gangsters? Those who did bad things, let alone murder and arson, and those who stole someone's hat were reported, so they just pretended to be The train was sent to Xijiang, and many of them were still children in the compound. Many people's families hated them so much that they attacked the eighth aunt. As a result, they were protected by Mr. Cao. Most of these people were unlucky. Those big stubborn leaders almost died. I was so scared that I somehow found me and offered a price for each person to confess to fifty murderers. I hope he can be punished and get meritorious service. I asked him to be more generous. The eighth aunt agreed. How many old cases has been solved by one guy, and then The eighth aunt has been promoted. These people feel that they are my own people and have friendship with me. In fact, I don’t even want to talk to them..."

Li Cheng said to Li Yuan: "It's not all bad, at least a lot of justice has been served. Although some people hold grudges, as long as our Li family does not defeat ourselves, they will do nothing. I have observed some such families, and most of them are Going downhill. Uncle Eight, I will keep an eye on them."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay then. The safety of the children today depends on Shiba. Hey, let me just say that my talents will be useful. How can I not be good at everything?"

Li Yuan looked at Lou Mansion, which was almost like a mountain of flowers and fruits. How could they be a group of nephews? They were clearly a group of monkeys. He actually wanted to take care of these monkeys today?I feel more dizzy than last night and want to faint.

Li Yuan gave Li Xing a few more words and asked him to be optimistic about Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, and then the large army set off happily.

This is because most lesbians watched the video too late last night and couldn't bear it during the day and started to catch up on sleep, otherwise there would be more people.

After everyone had left, Nie Yu came down from the stairs. He always felt that something was wrong while walking. He looked at Li Yuan with resentment in his eyes and had to avoid Xiao Qi's scrutiny.

Li Yuan laughed dryly and said to Xiao Qi: "Be polite when you go to grandpa and grandma's house today. They are mom and dad. They have loved mom all her life, so you must respect them. Do you understand?"

Xiaoqi was eating chewing gum, her eyes were full of intelligence, she smiled and nodded: "Alas, Dad! I will give Sister Yu some face."

Children who grow up on Hong Kong Island do not have such a deep sense of local customs.

She has feelings for her parents and brothers, but it is really difficult for her to develop a strong affection for relatives she has never met.

Li Yuan had no choice but to see how the children would get along in the future.

Li Yuan then rode on his bicycle, carrying Nie Yu on the back seat and his daughter on the horizontal bar in front of him, and headed to Nie's house.

Nie Yu was so angry, she originally wanted to sit in the front!

If she hadn't been worried about her daughter talking nonsense in front of her father, just like the last time she complained in front of Li Cuiyun, she would have pulled this rebellious girl off and pinned her down on the back seat... Just like that, the two of them were having a fight across Li Yuan. Along the way, the sharp-tongued Xiao Qi and the angry old woman screamed, Li Yuan grinned as he punched her, and then the family of three finally laughed together...

……

On the east side of Jingshan, there is Sanyanjing Hutong.

When Li Yuan and his family arrived, Comrade Nie pretended to be sweeping the floor at the entrance of the hospital.

Nie Yu, who originally had some grudges against his father, saw his old father behind his car seat with his hands clasped in front of his eyebrows from a distance. After seeing them arriving, he quickly pretended to turn his back and sweep the floor. Somehow, the unpleasant feeling in his heart disappeared. , disappeared in an instant.

I got off the car early, grabbed Xiaoqi from the front bumper and ran forward.

Although Xiao Qi was usually noisy, he probably noticed that Nie Yu was not in the right mood at this moment, so he ran ahead without saying a word...

"dad!"

The two of them stood cutely behind Nie Yuanchao, and Nie Yu called out.

Nie Yuanchao turned around and said "hmm" after seeing Nie Yu, then looked at Xiao Qi...

This was the first time Li Yuan saw Lao Nie so moved. After knowing him for many years, he had always been pretentious and cold.

Unexpectedly, Nie Yuanchao's face was so moved after seeing Xiao Qi...

Nie Yu was startled and said hurriedly: "Dad, this is my girl, Xiaoqi, her name is Li Qing."

Without her instruction, Xiao Qi simply shouted: "Grandpa!"

Li Cuiyun also walked out of the courtyard. Nie Yuanchao seemed to have found someone to talk to, and said to Li Cuiyun: "Look, take a look! This looks so much like Xiao Yu when he was a child! Just like Xiao Yu!"

Looking at Nie Yuanchao wiping away tears, Li Cuiyun also shed tears. He went over to hug Xiao Qi and said to Li Yuan and Nie Yu with red eyes: "Don't blame your dad. He is always thinking of you."

Nie Yu couldn't hold it any longer and cried loudly: "Dad! I don't blame you, I have been thinking of you in my heart!"

Li Yuan sighed softly, lowered his head and taught Xiao Qi: "I don't want dad to be so sad in the future. When you are dating someone, you must get dad's consent. Do you understand? Dad has good eyesight and will not let you be deceived." "

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Dad, was Sister Yu deceived?"

Li Yuandao: "Of course not! Grandpa's eyesight was not very good back then. Of course, it was mainly due to the influence of the times... Dad is different. Dad has good eyesight. You have to trust dad, right?"

Xiao Qi chuckled and responded, "Yeah!"

Li Yuanlao was very relieved and received Nie Yuanchao's negative emotion value +999!

……

"Aggression!"

In the Nie family's kitchen, Li Yuan wore an apron and used a knife to chop the meat delivered yesterday into evenly sized pieces.

Mother-in-law Li Cuiyun's eyes shone as she watched, "Yuanzi, I didn't believe you cooked at home every day before, but look at your knife skills, I really believe it!"

Third sister-in-law Cheng Xia also smiled and said: "It's amazing. I have never seen such good knife skills. Yuanzi looks delicate and handsome, like a scholar. I didn't expect such strength. This knife cuts steadily, accurately and quickly." , even if you are not a doctor, you can make a lot of money as a cook."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Mom, Third Sister-in-law, you two can go and do your work. You can just sit and talk to your father-in-law, Xiaoyu and the others. Leave this to me."

Li Cuiyun refused to leave and curled his lips and said: "Your father is a good man. It's hard to talk to him when we are here. It's rare for father and daughter to talk openly for a while, so I won't get involved. Now that we have a good relationship, I It won’t work.”

Cheng Xia said: "Yuanzi, have you been very busy recently?"

Li Yuan said "Yes" and said, "I have many relatives and friends, so I have to spend more time with my parents."

Cheng Xia glanced at Li Cuiyun. Li Cuiyun had no choice but to help and said: "Yuanzi, your third sister-in-law's father heard that you are back and wants to see you..."

Li Yuan asked: "Is he the third sister-in-law's father?"

Cheng Xia hurriedly smiled and said: "No, it's the old man over there!"

Li Yuan said "yo" and said, "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence. Everything has indeed been arranged. I really don't want to deny you face."

Cheng Xia actually wasn't angry, and even giggled, saying, "What if it's my dad?"

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "You have to give me face. Your biological father is a true elder. Even if you don't have time, you still have to make time."

Cheng Xia laughed and said: "It's true, the old man said, if you want to go, if you don't want to, forget it. After all, Mr. Qiao can't afford to hire strange people. It's true! But Yuanzi, thank you, thank you for respecting me." Father. It's a pity that my father is not in the capital, otherwise I would have prepared a table for you to drink."

Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "How do you want to thank me? With only half a son-in-law, Xiaoyu and I can't fulfill our filial piety in front of our parents. If you fulfill our filial piety for us, we should be the ones thanking you. Third sister-in-law, what's going to happen in the future? You say hello.”

Cheng Xia only had one thing in her mind: She deserves to be able to marry four wives and still live in harmony.

She is willing to leave such a man alone...

Li Cuiyun smiled and said: "Yuanzi, do you still have three officers at home? Which army are they in?"

Li Yuan said "Yo" again and said: "Mom, you really asked me, I really don't know this. After they finished fighting Annan, they were transferred elsewhere. Anyway, they didn't fight in Laoshan anymore. , listening to what they mean, it seems to be quite a pity.”

Cheng Xia smiled and said: "I heard something. When the three of you were in the north, you fought with Lao Maozi and made meritorious deeds. Later, when you went to Annan, you made meritorious deeds again. Even the Wei Kingdom was envious, but it was The next round of battles will probably be none of their business, and they can’t let them take all the good things. And with these military achievements and having attended a military academy, my future achievements will be limitless."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "They are the soldiers who are the sons of the people. They were originally the sons of farmers. To reach this point, it is time to thank the country for its support."

"That's right!"

Nie Yuanchao's loud voice came from outside the door, and everyone saw Comrade Lao Nie, Nie Yu, and Xiao Qi entering the kitchen.

Li Cuiyun was disgusted: "What are you doing here?"

Nie Yuanchao said: "My daughter wants to eat the dumplings I made, can't she?"

Li Cuiyun laughed angrily and said: "Look, look, but my daughter is back and she is much tougher when talking! When have you ever made dumplings?!"

Cheng Xia couldn't help but laugh too. She hadn't eaten it anyway.

Nie Yuanchao said: "Why haven't I made dumplings? I remember very clearly that year Xiaoyu had a cold and fever and didn't want to eat anything, so I made her a bowl of dumplings!"

Li Cuiyun felt tired: "I haven't had a bite in my whole life."

Nie Yu felt embarrassed and said, "Li Cuiyun, I'll let you eat enough today, okay?"

Nie Yuanchao said: "That's right!"

Li Yuan happened to have chopped up a yellow sheep and asked Nie Yuanchao: "Father-in-law, what kind of stuffing do you want to make? I'll chop the meat for you."

Nie Yuan was more like a Muggle. After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth: "The stuffing was ready at that time..."

Li Cuiyun was amused. Nie Yu and Cheng Xia also laughed. Xiao Qi said: "Dad, I want to eat scallion and mutton dumplings!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Sure! You help grandpa and grandma go back to the inner room to rest. Dad has mixed the stuffing and brought it over, so we can wrap it up and eat it together!"

After Xiaoqi led her grandfather, grandmother and third aunt away, Nie Yu hugged Li Yuan from behind and said with a smile: "Honey, you are so kind!"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "It's not in vain!"

Nie Yu's emotion dissipated instantly and she pinched his waist. However, she was worried that her parents would come in and did not continue the topic. She asked, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Mei Changning asked me to help him see his mother. I have to go to the Women's Federation compound. Do you want to go with me?"

Nie Yu curled her lips and said: "Forget it, that's Daxue's territory, you should go in her name, it will be easier to talk to."

Li Yuan said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about!"

Nie Yu hugged him again and chuckled: "I know that old lady. Oh, I really sympathize with her. She actually protected a lot of people back then. Mei Changning can be so smooth. Let alone this life, she is the oldest one." He is also very respectable in this generation, not only his father, but his mother also takes considerable credit."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Isn't it? Just because she has been living in a dormitory of about ten square meters for decades, she is worthy of respect. What did your father just say?"

Nie Yu chuckled and said, "My dad said that he would put this apartment in Xiao Qi's name later. It's too much. It's not in my name."

Li Yuan said in surprise: "You're so good, why did you give Xiao Qi a yard?"

Nie Yu smiled and said: "I heard that we live in Lou Mansion. We can't save face."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Your three brothers and sisters-in-law have different opinions. Xiaoqi may not come back every few years, so what is the purpose of occupying a house? She will not be short of these in the future, there is no need."

Nie Yu whispered: "Take it. Dad feels that he owes Xiao Qi, so he feels relieved if he takes it. Besides, they will live there for many years. As for my brother and sister-in-law, I also bought it on Hong Kong Island. A few properties, one for each family, is enough."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Those of yours are all small houses, fifty or sixty square meters."

Nie Yu said angrily: "The price is ten times more expensive than this!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you can figure it out yourself."

……

After lunch, after Li Yuan explained the reason, Nie's family supported him to visit him immediately.

Li Yuan left his wife and daughter at his in-law's house and rode his bicycle alone to Chun Shu Hutong, the compound of the Women's Federation.

After notifying and getting a reply, and after inspection, under the leadership of the staff, Li Yuan came to the home of Mei Changning's mother, Mr. Xue.

It is hard to imagine that the residence of a deputy director of the All-China Women's Federation would be so simple.

It is also hard to imagine that a woman with such a prominent family background and a husband with such a prominent official position would live in such a miserable environment for decades.

The moment he saw Mr. Xue, Li Yuan knew that he was not the kind of person with an extreme and resentful temperament, because his smile was kind and simple, and he had no official air about him.

Li Yuan bowed in greeting and explained that he was entrusted by Mei Changning to deliver the Ginseng Yangrong Pills. He smiled and said: "Mr. Junior, but later I discovered that he had no yamen breath at all. He was pure, clean, and kind. At first, I couldn’t understand how a person from such a background could have such a temperament. Although it is very presumptuous, I still want to say, when I see you , I finally understand that Changning is all under your influence."

Mr. Xue smiled and said: "You kid, you can talk. Xin'er... Is Aning okay in Hong Kong Island?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Very good! The work situation has opened up. Aning is a sincere person and has friends all over the world."

Mr. Xue shook his head and said: "Because he is too sincere and unwilling to be conceited, he will offend many people unknowingly. It will be fine when he is in power, but it will be hard to say in the future. But he has grown up, and he will eventually have to do it himself face."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xue, those who have gained the Tao will be helped."

Mr. Xue looked at Li Yuan and smiled: "I actually know you. Mr. Cao told me about you. Comrade Xiaoxue, I also like her very much. She is generous and thoughtful. Don't let her down."

Li Yuan said seriously: "Definitely not."

Mr. Xue smiled and said, "You young people have a lot to do, so there's no need to sit here. Go and do your work."

This kind of pure old man who has been reformed all his life is not very sophisticated.

Li Yuan stood up to say goodbye, and was about to leave, but was stopped again. Mr. Xue turned around and took out a thread-bound book from the wooden cabinet beside the bed, handed it to Li Yuan and said, "Xiao Li, you brought a lot of gifts, and most of them are probably These are not gifts from Xiner. If he can ask you to bring something back, it shows that you are really good friends, so I won’t give it back to you. I don’t have anything else to give you. This copy of "Chuanzhong Bookstore" was given by the old man back then. , take it and read more, I hope it will be helpful in your future work and life."

……

After leaving the government compound, Li Yuan looked at the "Letter from the Family of Zeng Guofan" that was uploaded to the Zhongshu Bureau and was a little lost. On the title page, there was actually an inscription from the old man: Fooled by his neighbors, he submitted to Zeng Wenzheng alone.

When I think back to Mr. Xue's conversation just now, I actually feel that I have benefited from it.

He scratched his head and thought that this was probably the charm of a great man's personality.

After collecting the ancient books, Li Yuan got on his bicycle and headed to Mianmian Hutong.

Among the people who were very good to Li Yuan in those years, he basically took care of everything he should take care of. Only the family of Wang Yamei, the former street director, has never been heard from.

After asking Qin Daxue, Qin Daxue helped to check, and only said that the family had returned to their hometown. If they checked further, they could not find it. Such a large family...

Li Yuan rode his bicycle and drove all the way to Mianmian Hutong. His eyes suddenly lit up. The door was unlocked and was still open a crack!

He quickly set up his bicycle, knocked on the door, and then gently opened the door...

In the courtyard, an old woman with white hair looked back. There was an old man sitting next to her, sitting on the stone steps sharpening scissors. Who could it be if it wasn't Wang Yamei and Song Qing?

The sun in the sky bypassed the dark clouds, and a ray of sunlight shone down vertically. Li Yuan grinned, showing his white teeth, and his smile was so brilliant!

It’s great that everyone is still here!
