"No need to thank me given our relationship." Liu Wen waved his hand.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Li Xu rode his bike home.

After arriving home, Li Xu was lying on the bed feeling very happy. He had earned more than 1,000 yuan tonight and received so many favors. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good deal.

I was just thinking about this and didn’t know when I fell asleep.

When he went to work the next day, Li Xu also felt refreshed.

He arrived at the gate and quietly asked, "Uncle Xu, does your family need food?"

I had originally planned to go to his house after the transaction last night, but I didn't expect to spend so much time with Liu Gang, so I went straight home after it was over.

Just a quick question now.

Uncle Xu shook his head. "No, there aren't many people in my family. We can get by for now. I don't have many relatives at home, so they don't need our help either."

"Now you have little Fuyou at home. Children at this age are the most troublesome. If they don't eat enough, how can their bodies bear it?"

Li Xu knew that the Xu family's food was just enough for them to survive, and now there was a little baby. Taking care of such a small child was extremely energy-consuming, and it would be difficult to endure if they didn't eat enough.

He had asked the other party before, but Uncle Xu always said that there was enough food, so he didn't say much.

But now Li Xu felt it necessary to make things clear, otherwise, given Uncle Xu's temper, he would most likely not accept it.

Sure enough, Uncle Xu hesitated for a moment, "Do you have ten kilograms?"

Li Xu saw that he was already tempted and quickly said, "I'll give you 25 kilograms of fine grains, 10 yuan per kilogram."

Uncle Xu frowned, "Why is the price so cheap? Ten kilograms is enough for our family."

"It's not cheap, but the price is just right. Besides, no one knows when this disaster will end. Please keep the extra food just in case."

This made sense, so Uncle Xu stopped refusing and nodded in agreement.

Li Xu did not put forward any additional conditions and walked directly towards the car team.

In fact, his condition was originally aimed at the six people who made the deal last night, but Liu Gang insisted on joining in the fun and said that their Liu family also agreed to this condition.

He seemed to be in a state of being angry if Li Xu didn't agree, so he really didn't feel comfortable refusing...

After trading 200 kilograms of grain this time, Li Xu had less than 100 kilograms left in his hands. There was nothing else to trade now, and he couldn't go to the black market, so he planned to keep the rest as reserve food to deal with emergencies.

Li Xu and Liu Gang hadn't been chatting for long when they saw Liu Gang hand over a kettle. "Go get me a kettle of water. Don't make it too hot."

Li Xu didn't think much about it. This kind of thing was quite common. He just took the kettle and got out of the car.

"Here." After a while, Li Xu came back and handed over the kettle.

Liu Gang took it, took a big sip, and then continued chatting.

After a while, he finished the rest of the water and said, "Go get me another pot."

Li Xu went again.

Not long after, Liu Gang handed the kettle over again.

This time, without even saying anything, Li Xu looked at the kettle and came to his senses. "Uncle Liu, are you tormenting me?"

Liu Gang glanced at him with a sneer on his face, "Oh, you figured it out."

Is it okay to say it so directly? And even using the word "you", Li Xu asked speechlessly, "Why? How did I offend you?"

"How have you offended me? Last night, you drank cup after cup of tea, and then asked me to pour you water again and again. Do you dare to say that you didn't do it on purpose?"

Usually it was Li Xu who poured water for Liu Gang, but last night it was Liu Gang who poured water for everyone. Li Xu finally had this treatment, so how could he not enjoy it?

But of course I can't admit this.

Li Xu said righteously, "No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. I was just thirsty last night. Who told them to be so talkative? Besides, if I were to talk to them incoherently, it would be so rude."

"Do you think I will believe this?"

"If you don't trust me, who else can you trust? Otherwise, ask around the motorcade and see if anyone says I'm honest and trustworthy."

"I don't care. I just don't believe it. I think you did it on purpose last night. Hurry and get me some water."

Li Xu also asked tentatively, "Do we need to take another call after this one?"

"catch."

Li Xu: ...

"Uncle Liu, I am your good nephew. You must trust me."

He felt that he could still struggle, but unfortunately Liu Gang completely ignored him.

"Hurry up, go quickly."

Li Xu smacked his lips, thinking that Liu Gang knew him too well and didn't listen to his explanation at all.

There was no other way, Li Xu had to go get some water again.

After a few more times, Liu Gang couldn't drink any more. After all, there was quite a lot of water in the pot, and there was no tea leaves in it. After drinking it, he didn't feel like going to the toilet, and his stomach was bloated.

This time it was Li Xu's turn to urge him, "Uncle Liu, hurry up, I'll get you more water after you finish drinking."

Seeing his extremely happy face, Liu Gang's expression darkened even further, and he glared at him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait a minute."

After saying that, she leaned back in her seat, kept touching her stomach, and hummed.

Li Xu was still making sarcastic remarks on the side, "Alas, this incident has hurt others a hundred times and hurt myself a thousand times."

Liu Gang ignored him and secretly regretted not bringing a cup for him to fetch water. If he could fetch half a cup at a time, it would at least last until the afternoon.

It was not until he went to the toilet several times that Liu Gang felt fine at noon.

Then he went to the cafeteria with Li Xu to get hot water to soak his rice. Unexpectedly, an old employee in the cafeteria saw him and said, "Xiao Liu, water won't fill you up. You still need to eat something to fill your stomach."

Liu Gang was stunned. "What do you mean?"

The man gave a blaming look and said, "How many times have you asked this kid next to you to fetch water this morning? Aren't you trying to fill your stomach?"

Liu Gang's face instantly darkened, but he didn't explain. Instead, he continued, "We're short of food at home. Drink more water to fill your stomach."

The old employee sighed and said nothing more.

After getting the water and returning to the car, Li Xu couldn't stop laughing. "Uncle Liu, that's not what I said. He asked me why I was always getting water, and I said I was getting water for you. I didn't expect him to think of that."

Liu Gang said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and eat. It's even better if people misunderstand. This news will spread quickly and no one will bother me anymore."

Li Xu didn’t know whether anyone would bother him in the future, but it was true that the news would spread quickly.
