Liu Xiaoman has run away. Li Qing reluctantly shook his head and turned to the hall. He just opened the door. He was just in time for Li Zhi to run out in a panic and almost ran into him.

"What's your hurry?"

Li Zhi quickly stepped back two steps: "I heard you're back. I'm thinking of going out to pick you up."

Glancing at Li Shiyi, Li Qing bypassed him and went inward. He said with a smile, "I don't know the way. I still need you to go out and pick it up."

"Hehe, too." Li nodded and said carelessly: "it's cold enough..."

"Isn't it? On such a cold day, the girl Xiaoman is still running all over the garden. I have to talk to Lao Liu later. It seems that no one can control her in this family except her father." Li Qing sat down in the chair, looked up at Li Zhi and deliberately said, "your face is not very good. What's the matter?"

Li Zhi shook his head and sat down next to Li Qing: "Oh, nothing. It may be that it's cold these two days and I've caught a cold. I grew up in Lingang. I haven't encountered such a cold day for many years."

"You have to pay more attention to your health. Now the Li family depends on you."

"I'm fine." Li Zhi hesitated and said, "cousin, now there are some criticisms among our people. What do you mean by bringing back such a dry sister?"

Li Qing stared at Li Zhi in surprise: "tell me, who has criticized?"

When asked by Li Qing, Li Zhi was speechless and had to laugh twice: "maybe I have a problem talking, that is, several young people don't understand. How can I bring back an outsider at this time? This girl has a wild temperament and has no model of a young lady. I'm afraid it will be difficult to teach in the future."

"I like Xiaoman very much. There's no other meaning. Don't worry." Li Qing said calmly. "With such a little girl who can cause trouble, our family can be a lot more lively. You know, after this great change, the main vein of the Li family withered, and I often feel a lot colder."

"Well, it's the same." Li Shi seems relieved to see Li Qing say so.

Seeing that he had relaxed his vigilance, Li Qing smiled at the corners of his mouth: "but I can tell you clearly that I treat this girl as my own sister. You can look after me at home on weekdays and can't let her be wronged. Especially the small ones in the family, if I find that they deceive Xiaoman, I can't spare them."

Li Zhi nodded quickly: "don't worry, I'm watching. Who can bully a child."

"I'm relieved." Li Qing smiled and nodded. After so many things, he also has some experience in how to use people. Paying equal attention to kindness and authority is the best policy. "Qiuqiu is recovering from injury. I have to spend time with her recently. You have to worry more about things at home."

"Naturally, we are a family." Li Shiying said slightly, "is Miss Lin okay?"

Li Qing blinked and noticed the change of Li Zhi's facial expression: "rest for a while and you'll be fine. Wait until a few days later, I'm going to take Qiuqiu to the Li family for a while, which is also convenient to take care of."

"Yes, yes." Li Shisi didn't notice the deep meaning of Li Qingyan. After all, Lin Qiuqiu is still the Lin family on the surface. He never thought that Li Qing had moved the idea of letting Lin Qiuqiu take over the Li family's affairs instead of himself.

To be fair, Li Zhi's ability to handle affairs is also very good, and Li Qing has always been quite satisfied. But at the same time, he also knew that his cousin always had high eyes but low hands. Obviously, he was a housekeeper, but he always wanted to grab the position of home owner with himself. As long as he got the opportunity, Li Zhi would never give up. Li Qing was not good at these family trifles. He handed over all the affairs to Li Zhi. No matter how much he stared at them, something would happen sooner or later. If it didn't work well at that time, it would lead to a farce of brotherhood. In this case, we can only invite Lin Qiuqiu to stare at him.

Lin Qiuqiu's mind is intelligent. She is much better than Li Qing in this respect. She takes charge of the overall situation. Li Zhi can't find any opportunity to take advantage of it.

"By the way, there's one more thing for you to do." Li Qing took out the address given by Xie Yuyan, approached Li Shizhao and whispered a few words of advice.

Li Zhi couldn't help wondering, "what does this mean?"

"Just give this address to Ma Baoshan as I said, and repeat my words to him. With the wisdom of director Ma, you can naturally understand what's going on. I'm too tired, so I'll leave it to you. You should remember that things are very important. You can only do it yourself and don't leak information."

Li Zhi nodded, "I understand."

"Then it's all right. I'll go and have a rest." Li Qing stood up and walked out. Only Li Zhi was puzzled.

Ma Baoshan is Qi Kuan's loyal running dog. If the latter wants to investigate, Ma Baoshan's role is absolutely indispensable. After he got this clue, he was eager to take it as his own. He asked for credit and reward in front of Qi Kuan. Naturally, he could keep it a good secret. And Li Qing left this matter to Li Zhi, which is equivalent to adding double insurance to himself. Even if there is an omission, he is not worried.

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

"It's still comfortable at home." Li Qing put down her troubles temporarily and took a nap in bed.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he got up from bed and began to deal with some affairs of the Li family these days. The secondary development of Gangbei Bay is not progressing smoothly, mainly because the accidents caused by fishermen fishing for gold bars a while ago have had a great impact on the development. However, the joint development action of the three families was originally to sell dog meat by hanging sheep's head, but Li Qing didn't take it to heart.

In addition to gangbeiwan, the industrial development momentum in other aspects is gratifying. Without the biggest enemy of the Chen family, it is not difficult for the Li family to regain a place in Lingang.

Li Qing handled the important things in person. When she was uncertain, she called Lin Qiuqiu to discuss some trivial things. Even though he was very fast, it was already 7:30 p.m. when all the troubles were handled.

After drinking tea, Li Qing raised her head, reached out and rubbed her temples with a sigh of relief.

"I really have to ask Qiuqiu to help. If it goes on like this, I'll be crazy." Li Qing whispered softly. Suddenly he heard the sound of the door. Liu Xiaoman's small head poked in from the outside: "Grandpa Zhang asked you, do you still want to eat?"

"Of course. I'm starving to death." Li Qing replied quickly.

"Then come with me quickly. I'm hungry too." Liu Xiaoman puffed his cheeks and looked like a little adult.

Li Qing nodded helplessly, then stood up and pulled her coat, dressed and went out with her.

In the evening, there was a cold night wind outside.

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

Twisted his small head and looked at Li Qing. His big eyes seemed to twinkle in the night. After a while, Liu Xiaoman replied, "I like it."

"Why do you like it?"

"Here, dad is happy, and so am I."

Li Qing nodded solemnly, "well, it makes sense."

One after another, they went to Zhang Bo's residence. Li Qing knocked on the door. The room was steaming and quite warm. Li Qing glanced, and Lao Liu was there. After seeing Li Qing, he quickly stood up. His appearance seemed a little reserved.

"Master, come in quickly. It's cold outside?" Uncle Zhang stretched his head out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "I don't think you're coming either on the left or on the right. Let Xiaoman greet you. Didn't you delay the business?"

"It's really cold." Li Qing closed the door back. "I just finished dealing with some things in my study. If Xiao man hadn't called me, I would have forgotten."

"Master." Lao Liu held back for a long time before he owed himself to Li Qing.

"You don't have to be so restrained." Li Qing waved his hand and sniffed hard in the air. "Uncle Zhang, it tastes delicious."

Uncle Zhang said with a smile: "when you were a child, you liked to take rou'er to me to eat and drink. Since you came back this time, you haven't eaten my dishes."

Hearing that Zhang Bo mentioned mu rou'er, Li Qing's face couldn't help but stagnate. Even if she recovered as before: "yes, it's been many years. At that time, Fu Bo was still there. He always let me drink. He often gets drunk after two drinks."

Zhang bomingxian also realized that he had made a mistake, smiled a few times, and quickly turned off the topic: "try today's fish. Lao Liu heard that you were coming to dinner in the evening, so he ran back to the sea to catch it. He was alive when he brought it to me."

Li Qing nodded, turned to Lao Liu and said, "please."

"What the owner said is too foreign." Lao Liu couldn't help rubbing his hands, so naturally he couldn't get rid of his formality.

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

"You child, no big or small." Lao Liu quickly pulled Xiaoman over, "why don't you call me brother? The name of the owner is what you can call?"

Xiaoman pouted and seemed a little unconvinced. Li Qing smiled and touched her head: "OK, I'll wash my hands."

Lao Liu looked embarrassed: "then let's go first."

"What are you going to do? Uncle Zhang cooked so many dishes and ate together." Li Qing turned to wash his hands. Uncle Zhang took off his apron and came out of the kitchen: "that is, it's boring for us to eat, and more than two people are still lively."

Lao Liu no longer refused, took Xiaoman and sat carefully on the table. He didn't dare to move his chopsticks at all.

Li Qing and Zhang Bo looked at each other. They were all helpless. On the contrary, Xiaoman, just like a person who has nothing to do, stuffed his mouth. It's really not ordinary to eat.
