Liu Xiaoman had already run away without a shadow, Li Qing shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the hall, just pushed open the door, just in time for Li Shi to run out in a panic, and almost collided with him.

"What are you anxious about?"

Li Shi hurriedly took two steps back: "I heard that you are back, aren't you just thinking of going out to pick you up." ”

Glancing at Li Zhi, Li Qing bypassed him and walked in, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't know the way, I still need you to go out and pick it up." ”

"Hehe, too. Li Zhi nodded, and said casually in the back: "It's really cold enough..."

"Isn't it, on such a cold day, Xiaoman's girl is still running all over the garden. I have to tell Lao Liu that apart from her father, there really is no one in this family who can control her. Li Qing sat down on the chair, raised his head to look at Li Shi, and said intentionally: "Your face is not very good, what's wrong?"

Li Shi shook his head and sat down beside Li Qing: "Oh, it's nothing, it may be that it's been cold for the past two days, and I've caught a little cold." I grew up in Lingang since I was a child, and I have never encountered such a cold day for many years. ”

"You have to pay more attention to your body, the current Li family is all dependent on you. ”

"I'm fine. Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Cousin, now there is some criticism among our clansmen, what do you mean by bringing back such a godsister?"

Li Qing stared at Li Zhi in surprise: "Tell me, who is the one who has the objection?"

was asked by Li Qing like this, Li Shi was speechless, and had to laugh dryly: "It may be that I have a problem with speaking, that is, a few young people don't understand how to bring back an outsider at this time." This girl has a wild temperament, and she doesn't look like a lady at all, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. ”

"I'm quite in love with Xiaoman, I don't mean anything else, don't be careful. Li Qing said unhurriedly, "With such a little girl who can cause trouble, our family can still be a lot more lively." You know, after this great change, the main vein of the Li family has withered, and I often feel a lot colder. ”

"Well, too. Li Shi seemed to be relieved a lot when he saw Li Qing say this.

Seeing that he had relaxed his vigilance, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth: "But I can make it clear to you, I treat this girl as my own sister, you watch me at home on weekdays, and you can't let her be wronged." Especially the few small ones in the clan, if I find out that they are bullying the little barbarians, I will definitely not spare them. ”

Li Shi hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, I'm watching, who can bully a child." ”

"I'm relieved. Li Qing smiled and nodded, after going through so many things, he also has a lot of experience in how to use people, and it is the best policy to pay equal attention to grace and power, "Qiuqiu is recuperating from her injury, I have to find time to accompany her recently, and you have to worry more about family affairs." ”

"Naturally, we're a family. Li Zhiying paused, "Miss Lin is fine?"

Li Qing blinked, paying attention to the change in Li Shi's facial expression: "Recuperate for a while, and you'll be fine." In a few days, I plan to take Qiuqiu to Li's house to live for a while, which is also convenient to take care of. ”

"It should be, it should be. Li Shi didn't notice the deep meaning in Li Qing's words at all, after all, Lin Qiuqiu was still a member of the Lin family on the surface, and he couldn't have imagined that Li Qing had already moved the idea of letting Lin Qiuqiu take care of the Li family's affairs instead of him.

If it is fair, Li Shi's ability to do things is also very good, and Li Qing has always been quite satisfied. But at the same time, he also knows that his cousin has always been a master and a low eye, obviously a housekeeper, but he always wants to grab the position of the head of the family with him, as long as he gets the opportunity, Li Shi will never give up. Li Qing is not good at these family trivialities, and he hands over all the affairs to Li Shi, no matter how much he stares, something will happen sooner or later, and when the time comes, if it is not good, it will cause a fratricidal farce. In this case, he could only ask Lin Qiuqiu to keep an eye on him.

Lin Qiuqiu is smart, she is much stronger than Li Qing in this regard, and she is in charge of the overall situation, and Li Zhi can't find the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to do for you. Li Qing took out the address given by Xie Yuyan, beckoned Li Shi to the front, and whispered a few words.

Li Shi couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard this: "What does this mean?"

"As long as you give this address to Ma Baoshan as I said, and repeat my words to him, Director Ma's cleverness will naturally understand what is going on. I'm so tired, I'll leave this matter to you. You have to remember that things are important, and you can only do them yourself, and don't leak the news. ”

Li Shi nodded: "Understood." ”

"Then it'll be fine, I'll go rest for a while. Li Qing said and stood up and walked out, leaving Li Shi with doubts in his eyes.

Ma Baoshan is Qi Kuan's loyal lackey, and if the latter wants to investigate, Ma Baoshan's role is absolutely indispensable. After he got this clue, he couldn't wait to keep it for himself, and take it to Qi Kuan to ask for merit and reward, so he could naturally keep it a good secret. And Li Qing handed over this matter to Li Shi to do, which is equivalent to adding double insurance to himself, even if there is really an omission, he is not worried.

Staggering back to his room, Li Qing took off his coat, lay on his back on the **, and took a deep breath.

"It's still comfortable at home. Li Qing temporarily put aside his worries and took a nap on the **.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he got up from the ** and began to deal with some of the affairs of the Li family these days. The secondary development of Gangbei Bay is not going smoothly, mainly because of the accident caused by those fishermen salvaging gold bars a while ago, which has had a great impact on this development. However, this joint development action of the three families was originally a sheep's head dog meat, and Li Qing didn't take it to heart.

In addition to Gangbei Bay, the momentum of industrial development in other aspects is gratifying, and without the Chen family, the biggest opponent, it is not difficult for the Li family to regain a place in Lingang.

Li Qing personally handled the major matters, and if he was unsure, he called Lin Qiuqiu to discuss, and some cumbersome little things were directly pushed to Li Zhi, even if his speed was already very fast, when all the troubles were dealt with, it was already half past seven in the evening.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Qing raised his head, reached out and rubbed his temples, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really have to ask Qiuqiu to help, if I continue like this, I'll go crazy. Li Qing muttered softly, and suddenly heard the sound of the door, and Liu Xiaoman's little head poked in from outside: "Grandpa Zhang asked you, do you still want to eat?"

"Of course I'm going to starve. Li Qing hurriedly replied.

"Then come with me, I'm hungry too. Liu Xiaoman puffed out his cheeks, looking like a little adult.

Li Qing nodded with a smile, then stood up and ripped off his coat, and went out with her while getting dressed.

In the evening, a cold night breeze was blowing outside, and it was cold.

"Xiaoman, do you like it here?" Li Qing stared at the small figure in front of him and asked casually.

Turning his little head and glancing at Li Qing, those big eyes seemed to be shining brightly in the night. After a long while, Liu Xiaoman replied sullenly: "I like it." ”

"Why do you like it?"

"When I got here, my dad was happy, and I was happy. ”

Li Qingxu nodded matter-of-factly: "Well, it makes sense." ”

The two of them walked to Uncle Zhang's residence one after the other, Li Qing knocked on the door, and the room was steaming and quite warm. Li Qing glanced at it, Lao Liu was also there, and after seeing Li Qing, he hurriedly stood up, looking a little restrained.

"Master, come in, it's cold outside?" Uncle Zhang pulled his head out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "I see that you don't come from the left or the right, so let Xiaoman greet you without delaying the business?"

"It's really cold. Li Qing closed the door with his hand, "I'm dealing with some things in the study, and I'm just done." If Xiaoman hadn't called me, I would have forgotten about it. ”

"The head of the house. Lao Liu held back for a long time before he owed Li Qing.

"You don't need to be so restrained. Li Qing waved his hand, and then sniffed fiercely in the air, "Uncle Zhang, it tastes so good." ”

Uncle Zhang laughed and said: "When you were a child, you liked to bring Rou'er to me to eat and drink, and since you came back this time, you haven't eaten the dishes I cooked." ”

Hearing Uncle Zhang mention Mu Rou'er, Li Qing's face couldn't help but stagnate, and then he recovered as before: "Yes, it's been a matter of many years, and Fu Bo was still there at that time." He always let me drink, and I often got drunk after two drinks. ”

Uncle Zhang obviously realized that he had lost his words, laughed a few times, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Try today's fish, Lao Liu heard that you were going to eat in the evening, so he deliberately ran back to the sea to catch it." When you brought it to me, it was still alive. ”

Li Qing nodded, turned to Lao Liu and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"What the head of the family said was too outward. Lao Liu kept rubbing his hands, naturally he couldn't get rid of his restraint.

Liu Xiaoman helped Uncle Zhang bring the food to the table, and then made a small face at Li Qing: "Li Qing, go wash your hands, eat!"

"You kid, no big or small. Lao Liu hurriedly pulled Xiao Man over, "Why don't you call me brother?

Xiao Man pouted, seemingly a little unconvinced. Li Qing smiled and touched her head: "Okay, I'll go wash my hands." ”

Lao Liu looked embarrassed: "Then we'll go first." ”

"What are you going to do? Uncle Zhang has made so many dishes, let's eat them together. Li Qing turned around to wash his hands, and Uncle Zhang took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen: "That's it, how boring it is for the two of us to eat, and it is still lively for two more people." ”

Lao Liu no longer shirked, and pulled Xiaoman to sit on the edge of the table carefully, not daring to move chopsticks at all.

Li Qing and Uncle Zhang glanced at each other, both of them a little helpless. On the contrary, it is Xiaoman, just like a person who has nothing to do, and he stuffs his small mouth with a bulging mouth, which is really not an ordinary eat.
