Chapter 1437 Reverse Check
Not long after Li Ye finished the call, Wen Leyu brought a large group of people to celebrate New Year's Eve with Li Ye.
There were four siblings, Li Juan, Li Ying, Fu Yiruo, and Li Youan, plus two children, Xiao Baoer and Xiao Douer. Everyone was holding something in their hands. Some were fruits and snacks, and some were dishes to go with wine. Soon the table was full.
And the little brother Li Youan was holding a big bottle of foreign liquor in his hand.
Li Ye smiled and asked Xiao Youan: "Youan, do you want to have a drink with me?"
Little Youan smiled shyly and said, "They said this is good wine. Big brother and his wife are the pillars of the family, so we should toast them."
"Is the wine good? Good, good, good."
Li Ye took the wine and put it away, then said, "But I'm on duty today, so I can't drink. Can we have a drink?"
Little Youan nodded heavily: "Okay, use water instead of wine, that's what mother told me."
“I drink a drink too, I drink a drink too”
Xiao Douer was clamoring for drinks, and Xiao Youan rushed to take out the drinks and filled them for Li Ye, Wen Leyu and several sisters one by one, and finally even his nephews and nieces were not left out.
Then he raised his glass and said nervously to Li Ye, "Brother, sister-in-law, I toast you and wish you and your family happiness and good luck in the new year."
Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously, Han Chunmei did not spoil her youngest son and had high expectations for him. Before the kid even started elementary school, Han Chunmei had already taught him how to pour wine and water, and even to toast Wen Leyu and Li Ye.
Although these are all small things, who wouldn’t like a well-behaved and well-mannered younger brother since childhood?
The only bad thing was that Li Ye saw a bit of timidity and restraint in Xiao Youan's eyes.
This is my own brother!
"Come on, come on, Xiao Youan is toasting everyone! Let's drink to the happiness of our family!"
"Cheers~"
Li Ye and everyone drank a drink, and then stopped Xiao Youan who wanted to continue pouring drinks.
"Youan, even though you're sometimes in Hong Kong Island and sometimes in the mainland, we're all family. Don't be too distant with everyone. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Put down your drink now and let Xiaobao pour it for you."
"I can do it, brother, I can do it."
Little Youan wanted to hold on while holding the drink bottle, but his sister Li Juan snatched it away and pressed him down on a small stool.
When Li Juan saw the current little Youan, she remembered herself when she had just followed Han Chunmei to marry into the Li family and was carefully trying to please everyone.
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye, then smiled and asked little Youan: "Youan, you will go to primary school next year. Do you want to go to primary school on Hong Kong Island or in Beijing?"
Li Juan and Li Ying looked at Wen Leyu in surprise.
Because of the mainland's birth policy, Xiao Youan's identity has always been a bit awkward. Although he has a Hong Kong ID card, Li Kaijian is a cadre of a state-owned enterprise after all.
These days, if a worker has a second child, reducing his salary by two levels is the minimum punishment, and firing him can be done in a matter of minutes.
Therefore, if Li Kaijian openly showed off his second child, there might be some trouble, so he originally planned to let Li Youan go to school in Hong Kong Island, and he has been in preschool for half a year.
But Li Youan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I like going to school in Beijing. The kids in Hong Kong don't like me."
Wen Leyu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your mother. Then you and Xiao Baoer and the others will go to school together in the capital."
"Hmmmm~"
"Okay, okay. Then the three of us will be in the same class and no one will dare to bully us."
Li Youan nodded repeatedly, while Xiaodouer clapped his hands and cheered.
These children didn't know what Wen Leyu's intention was. Li Youan just felt that he didn't have to endure the cold stares of those Hong Kong Island children, and Xiao Douer was even happier. In addition to his brother, he now had another little follower who could be ordered around.
But Li Juan said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, will this be too much trouble?"
Wen Leyu said softly, "Compared to a harmonious family, this little trouble is nothing. Youan is still too young, and he's always alone in Hong Kong Island. It will be too lonely for him after a long time."
Li Juan looked at her younger sister Li Ying and said nothing more. In this family, as long as Wen Leyu spoke, basically no one could object.
However, Fu Yiru looked at Wen Leyu with a playful look in her eyes.
In her opinion, her sister-in-law is very capable.
Although Li Youan and Li Ye have the same father, they do not have the same mother after all. If they grow up alone in Hong Kong Island for a long time, there may be a situation of "brother alienation" in the future.
Now Wen Leyu has brought Li Youan to Beijing to go to school, so that Li Youan can feel the treatment of "eld sister-in-law is like mother" from an early age. Even if someone wants to instigate Li Youan to have bad thoughts, Wen Leyu will nip it in the bud.
Several girls and children played in Li Ye's office until ten o'clock before packing up and preparing to go home.
Before leaving, Li Yecai whispered to Wen Leyu, "Did you plan this long ago? Or did you just do this on impulse?"
Wen Leyu smiled and said, "I didn't make any last-minute plans. I just felt that you seemed very worried about Xiao Youan, so I acted on my own initiative. Didn't you object just now?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "If a child is too lonely or even too cautious from a young age, it's very easy for their personality to develop problems, so you did the right thing."
"Hehehe, I'm the worm in your stomach. I know what you're thinking just by looking at your eyes."
Wen Leyu hummed a few times with pride, and then instructed Li Ye: "You should also go to bed early today! Remember to go with my father to pay New Year's greetings to the elders tomorrow."
"Remember, remember, don't worry!"
Because of Li Ye's contribution to Su'e, several big guys specifically notified Wen Qingsheng this year to take Li Ye to pay New Year's greetings, so Li Ye prepared a camp bed so that he could sleep even when answering the phone.
But at two or three in the morning, the shrill phone ring suddenly rang.
Li Ye rolled over and got out of bed. In less than two seconds, he grabbed the phone and asked nervously, "Hello? Where are you from? What's going on?"
"Hello? I'm from the Southwest Heavy Duty Truck Spring Festival duty room. A few thieves just came to the factory to cause damage and were discovered by our patrol officers."
Li Ye's nervous heart calmed down.
He recognized that the person on the other end of the phone was Tao Shangping, the guy who was on duty playing mahjong not long ago and invited Li Ye to come over and take a look.
"Really? Did you catch them? If so, hand them over to the police immediately."
"Oh, they were running too fast. We were worried they were trying to lure them away, so we didn't catch up."
"Oh, that's okay. Since you've discovered the thief, you've done your duty. Tell me the name of the patrol officer who caught the thief. I'll record it and give you a commendation."
"Oh, no, no, this is what we should do."
"Okay then! I'll give all the credit to you, Tao Shangping."
"No, no, we didn't catch up with those thieves."
"Yes, yes. Scaring off a thief in the middle of the night is a great accomplishment."
Li Ye grabbed the red pen and made another heavy note on the duty roster.
[How dare you check my wife's place? Do you really think I can't do anything to you because the emperor is so far away?]
