Shen Yi nodded, somewhat dazed.
Therefore, it's impossible for that courtyard house area to be demolished.
"So, when my grandparents move out, should we move back?"
"Huh? Are you asking for my opinion?"
“Of course, we’re family, who else would I ask if not you?” Li Wenhui nodded.
"What if I say I disagree?"
"Then we won't agree. We'll just continue living here."
Aren't you angry?
“Chen Yi, you’re acting strange. Why am I angry? I just want to move back, not that I have to. I grew up in the hutongs, so I like that place, but you don’t. Didn’t my mom just say that it would be good for us to live in the family compound? It’s close to both of our jobs.”
"What if I agree to move?"
"If you agree, I'll have my dad find someone to come and clean up after the New Year."
"Actually, I don't care where I live, what's important is being with you."
The sudden sweet words stunned Li Wenhui, and her face visibly flushed under the streetlights.
"Hate"
After saying that, she strode forward.
"Hey, Huihui, you haven't answered me yet." Shen Yi hurriedly pushed his bike and chased after her.
What do I need to respond to you about?
"Say whatever you want, I'll listen to anything."
"Look at you, so silly. I want to take a car; I'm tired of walking."
"Okay!"
"I want to sit in the front."
"It's cold in the wind ahead."
"I want to sit in the front."
"Okay, okay, I'll go up first."
"Let's go~ Let's go home!" Li Wenhui, sitting on the front bumper, waved her gloved little hand.
"Chenyi"
"Um?"
"We also want to be like my parents, loving each other for decades without changing."
"That's a must."
...
At home, Li Chu handed the child, who was already asleep in his arms, to Wenxuan, wrapped him in a small cotton quilt, and then let him carry him back to his room.
He brewed himself a pot of tea, put on a shirt, and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
When Ding Qiunan and Wang Yueyue finished cleaning up and came out of the kitchen, they saw this strange scene.
"Aren't you cold, Daddy Chu?"
"It's not cold at all, I think it's just right. Wenxuan has already taken the child back."
"Oh, I see. Dad Chu, Mom Qiu Nan, I'll head back now. You two get some rest."
"Go."
"By the way, Mr. Chu, could you help me pick up my New Year's gifts from school tomorrow? The school called me today and asked me to come and collect them."
"Sure, which department do I pick it up from?"
"It's in the general affairs office."
"Okay, I'll make time to go tomorrow."
"Thank you, Dad. Goodbye, Mom."
"This girl, what's with all the praying in the front and back yards?" Ding Qiunan said with a smile as she watched Wang Yueyue, who was already a mother, skipping and hopping towards the front yard like a child.
"Li Chu, what did you give Jianguo when you came back from get off work?"
"Huh? They didn't give you anything?"
"I saw everything, it looked like a medicine bottle."
"Hey, you've already seen it, why are you still asking me?"
"I want to see if you're being honest."
"What do you mean I'm honest or not?"
"Then why did you say you didn't give anything?"
"Uh...oh dear, you have to ask every single question about something a man would use."
"I trust you completely, but I don't trust him, so I need to keep track of his every move."
"You should rest now, honey. He has a wife to keep him in check."
"Nana is still a bit soft-hearted, otherwise, would she be running wild outside?"
"Alright, my dear wife, it's all in the past, let's not bring it up again. Jianguo has already turned over a new leaf."
"I hope so," Ding Qiunan said, pursing her lips.
"Wait a minute, what medicine did you say you gave him?"
Well, that takes a long time to process what I just realized.
"It's the medicine I modified."
"You've got everything all set up?"
"Okay, I ate it a couple of days ago."
"You ate it? When? I didn't know that."
"Uh...maybe that medicine just doesn't work for me."
Ding Qiunan looked at her man with some suspicion.
"Who did you return it to?"
"I...I asked a few friends to help me try."
"You just created this and you dare to get so many people to help test it?"
"Don't worry, this medicine will definitely not have any side effects. I'm quite confident about that."
"Go ahead and do it!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Jianguo's wife tomorrow. Jianguo will definitely eat it tonight."
"Tch~ How dare you say that? How am I supposed to ask you?"
Watching his wife turn and walk into the living room, Li Chu shook his head helplessly.
You can talk about anything and everything with the women at the hospital, so why can't you talk about anything with your own siblings?
...
The next morning, after Li Chu finished practicing his boxing in the yard, he took his two dogs out to buy breakfast.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ding Jianguo pacing around at the gate.
"Brother-in-law, buying breakfast?"
"Hmm, what are you doing loitering around my house so early in the morning?"
Ding Jianguo chuckled awkwardly, peeked behind Li Chu, then turned to look into the alley before whispering, "Brother-in-law, do you still have the medicine you gave me yesterday?"
"What? Didn't I give you five?"
"Hehe, I want to get some for our boss."
"Don't rush to get it for others. Did you remember what I told you to remember?"
"Of course I remember, it's all written on that piece of paper."
"Remember, one pill every two days, don't take too many. As for giving it to others, wait a bit, I'm out of stock. The next batch won't be ready for another week."
Did you feel any discomfort after eating last night?
Ding Jianguo raised his hand and scratched his head. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have nothing. At first, it was like I didn't eat anything, but my condition is much better than before."
That's much better. His wife usually gets up no later than six o'clock, but it's already 6:30 now and she's still sleeping soundly.
"Alright, let's finish these five first, and then we'll talk. Remember to write down everything I want."
"Understood, brother-in-law, I promise to complete the mission."
"Go back, I'm going to buy breakfast."
The two dogs were getting impatient and had already run to the alley entrance to wait for him.
Li Chu had truly underestimated how much of a blessing this medicine was for middle-aged men.
Xu Damao, who finally regained his husbandly authority last night, is now smugly strolling out of their house to buy breakfast.
His wife, meanwhile, was also fast asleep, clutching her blanket.
The same scene was playing out in more than a dozen households at the same time, and they all had the same thought in mind: they had to get some more of this medicine, even if it was just one pill every two days.
