Li Xuewu was stunned at first.

Then he opened his arms and hugged the man: "Xiao Kui, when did you come back?"

"I've been back for three or four days, and I haven't seen you here!" Hou Kui also smiled and hugged Li Xuewu.

At this time, Chen Xueru also came over: "Hou Kui has been complaining since he came back, why didn't his father Li come over? What have you been doing these days?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I would go deliver something to Uncle Zhao and the others during the holiday? I just happened to take advantage of these few days to go to Shanxi!"

"Hey, I was so busy cleaning the house for the New Year that I forgot about it!" Chen Xueru also remembered that Li Xuewu had told her about this before.

"Okay, stop standing and sit down and talk. Hou Kui, why don't you tell me how you have been doing during this period?" Li Xuewu walked towards the sofa, holding Hou Kui with one hand and Chen Yuqing with the other.

After sitting down, Chen Yuqing snuggled up to Li Xuewu and listened to her father and brother talking.

"I had a pretty good life there. I had classmates who could take care of each other, and the local people also took good care of us!"

"Well, it's good once you get used to it. Your mom is always worried that you don't eat or sleep well!"

Hou Kui smiled and said, "It's okay. They can live well there, so why can't I? Besides, you send me so many things every month, I can't use them all!"

Speaking of her son, Chen Xueru wanted to cry: "You have never suffered much since you were a child. Now you are going to such a hard place in the countryside. Mom is worried about you! If learning martial arts is not okay, let's bring Hou Kui back!"

"Oh, Mom, didn't I tell you before? I just wanted to exercise myself. Do you think I'm stronger now than before?"

"You've become a lot stronger, but Mom still wants you to stay by her side!" Chen Xueru wiped her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xuewu also hurried to comfort: "You women are just sentimental. It's good for boys to suffer a little. If he wants to train, he can train for two years. He can come back anytime he wants. I think it's good for him to stay in the countryside for a few years. It's better than coming back to be a worker!"

Then he turned to Hou Kui and asked, "Did you forget the book I asked you to look at?"

"No, I've been reading books the whole time. Dad Li, what's the point of reading this now? The college entrance examination has been suspended!" Hou Kui didn't understand why Li Xuewu had been asking him to read junior and senior high school textbooks.

The classmates who were with him also felt that he was a little dreamy. It had been several years, and there was no sign of him letting up. In the beginning, there were still people who followed him, but later they gradually gave up. Now there are only two or three classmates who still study with him.

"You don't understand. Knowledge is always useful. I think it won't be long before the college entrance examination is reinstated. You must get into a university then. The first batch of college students after the resumption is definitely very valuable. Whether you are in business or politics in the future, you will have countless benefits!"

It was impossible for Li Xuewu to tell him the specific time when the college entrance examination would be resumed, but that did not prevent him from encouraging Hou Kui.

"Well, I understand. I will continue to study after I go back. It's just that some things are too difficult. I just graduated from junior high school, and there are many things I can't understand when reading high school books!"

"Don't worry, just learn as much as you can. When there's news about the resumption of the college entrance examination, you can come back early and prepare at home. Are there any teachers who have been sent down to the countryside?"

Hou Kui thought about it and shook his head: "I really haven't paid attention to this."

"Then pay attention to it when you go back. If there is any, it will be convenient for you to ask for advice! You must maintain good relationships with all those who have been demoted. Maybe it will be beneficial to you in the future!"

After a lot of admonition, Chen Yuqing was already a little impatient: "Dad, brother, are you guys done yet? What you are saying is so boring. I want to hear a joke!"

"Okay, okay, our Yuqing can't wait any longer, so let's not talk about it anymore. Do you want to tell a joke, or do the four of us want to play cards?"

"Play cards, play cards. I want to play push train!"

Of the three people, two and a half were all in a state of dismay. Chen Xueru glared at Li Xuewu and said, "It's all your fault. Why did you bring this up? We've been pushing the train with her for several years."

Li Xuewu also recalled the painful experience and smiled bitterly: "I forgot, Yuqing, you are older now, let's try another way to play, I will teach you how to level up, okay!"

"Okay!" Looking at the expressions of the three people, Chen Yuqing had no choice but to give up her favorite.

Chen Yuqing, who had just learned a new way to play, was very excited. She kept pulling three people to play with her until late at night, and only closed up shop when she could no longer hold on.

Back in the bedroom, Chen Xueru said to Li Xuewu: "Do you really think you will recover later?"

"That's for sure. You've been in the sales department for such a long time, but you haven't learned to open your eyes and see the world? There are so many foreign businessmen at the Canton Fair. If you want to develop, you have to keep pace with the times. Even you and I can see this clearly. Don't the seniors see it clearly?

Now these are just temporary. Do you think the current situation is really a struggle caused by different political views? If you think so, you are wrong. The country has made a big step from an agricultural society to an industrial society, which has brought about life and employment problems, as well as overproduction. Solving these problems requires time to digest. I believe that it will get better soon! "

To be honest, Chen Xueru didn't quite understand what Li Xuewu said: "Now that you're a leader, things are different. You have a lot of big principles to talk about. Anyway, I don't understand them. I just listen to whatever you say!"

"Well, that's right. Actually, you need to study more than Hou Kui right now. You need to understand the domestic and international situation. Only in this way can you have a chance to soar to the sky in the future! Enough, let's go to sleep!"

After tidying up the bedding, Chen Xueru nestled in Li Xuewu's arms, and the two soon fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already getting brighter outside.

After getting up, Chen Yuqing was the first to run to the two of them and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Dad, Mom, I wish you a happy new year. Happy New Year! Red envelopes, red envelopes!"

The little hand reached out to the two people, and they smiled at each other: "You little money-grubber, we haven't even washed up yet, and you're already asking for red envelopes!"

"Hey hey hey!"

"Okay, here's this for you, go and play with it!" Chen Xueru took out a prepared red envelope from her pocket and handed it over.

Chen Yuqing took the red envelope and ran out the door: "I'm going to Aunt Xu's place to play with Jingping. I'm having breakfast there!"

Hou Kui also came out of the house at this time, kowtowed to the two of them and wished them a happy new year, and then helped cook dumplings and set off firecrackers.

After breakfast, Li Xuewu hurried back to wish his parents a happy new year. He asked Hou Kui to stay at home with Chen Xueru and then he went out and hurried back.

When I got home, breakfast had already been finished and Dad Li was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

"Mom and Dad, your son wishes you a happy New Year!" After asking the two elders to sit down, Li Xuewu knelt on the floor of the main hall and kowtowed twice.

"Okay, okay, get up, and have a smooth new year!" Mother Li also handed Li Xuewu a red envelope.

"And mine?" I didn't expect to receive a red envelope at this age.

The old couple smiled and said, "In the eyes of your parents, you are always a child!"

"Thank you, Mom and Dad. Where are Huaihua and Hongbing?" Li Xuewu did not see his son and daughter when he entered the door.
