Now Li Xu understood.

Last year, he delivered fish to the door in the hope that Fu Qing's father could do him a favor and let him skip the queue.

It doesn’t matter whether you buy fat or lean meat.

It’s just that Uncle Fu misunderstood at that time and thought that his goal was the fat meat.

But then again, no one would think that sending gifts to someone's door is just to cut in line.

At that time this year, he was too busy to get away, so he never went to Fu's house.

This is what caused Fu Qing to misunderstand.

I mistakenly thought that he was embarrassed to ask his father for help because he didn't bring any gifts.

What I said before was to express one thing: he Fu Qing and Li Xu are good brothers.

If Li Xu is too embarrassed to ask his father, he can just go to him directly.

No gifts are required, and we will definitely do our best.

Li Xu did not answer his question, but instead asked, "You think I'm embarrassed to come to your house because I don't have a gift, so why don't you come to me?"

Fu Qing said unhappily, "You think I haven't thought about it? It's just that later I felt that at our age, we all need to save face. If I go straight to your house, will you be able to save face? Will our relationship be able to maintain at that time? That is, since you came to me today, I think you have thought it through, so I dare to say this."

After listening, Li Xu smacked his lips.

Paying full price does make sense.

After reading these paragraphs, it can be seen that he truly regards himself as a good brother.

Thinking of this, Li Xu explained, "You really misunderstood me this time. During that time, I was very busy every day. I went out early every day and usually got home around ten o'clock in the evening. How do you think I should go?"

Fu Qing was a little skeptical. "Don't lie to me. I know you have a lot of holidays now. Even if you only transport for one day, you will have a holiday the next day. How can you not spare the time?"

Li Xu looked at him helplessly, "Why do you think I have a day off today?"

Before Fu Qing could ask, Li Xu continued to explain, "We transported goods for more than ten consecutive days recently, with only three days of rest in between. Especially after we finished transporting the New Year supplies, we didn't rest for a single day. We didn't finish all the tasks until the day before the New Year. Then the higher-ups gave us a long holiday, from the New Year to the Lantern Festival."

After hearing this, Fu Qing stared at him blankly, "Is your leader an idiot? How can you make such an arrangement at this time? Aren't you afraid that you'll die of exhaustion on the way?"

"It's not their problem. Other units came to us and we couldn't turn them away. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we had to make this arrangement."

pay off:...

After a long silence, a smile appeared on his face. "Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. But if this situation really happens again in the future, please don't be embarrassed and come to me."

"Don't worry, I won't hesitate to help you when I need your help." Li Xu thought for a moment and then continued, "I didn't catch any fish this year, but I have other good things. If I have time in the evenings, I'll send them to you."

The fish in his space had been eaten long ago.

Last time, Fu Qing exhausted himself so much that he could hardly walk, and he still ran to ask about his condition.

This friendship will always be kept in my heart.

I wanted to find an excuse to support and pay for some food, but unfortunately the other party did not agree.

I heard him say these words again today.

That's even more touching.

Of course, I have to send him something good to eat.

When he heard that there was something good, Fu Qing pulled Li Xu's arm and asked questions non-stop.

In the end, Li Xu had no choice but to tell him.

Fu Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Brother, are you serious? Are there really cakes to eat?"

"You already call me big brother, how can I lie to you?"

"That's hard to say."

"If you say that, I won't give it to you."

Fu Qing suddenly became anxious. "No, no, no, do you think what I just said was bullshit? If anyone dares to say that my good brother would lie to me, I will be the first to never let him go."

At this time, it is better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists.

After saying that, he kept rubbing his hands and looked at Li Xu with anticipation.

Li Xu said with a smile, "Okay, you won't be short of something, but I'm telling you in advance, there aren't many of these."

In fact, at first he wanted to send some egg cakes to Fu Qing.

Not only is it delicious, but it also fills your stomach.

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that this gift was not appropriate.

Because the egg cakes made at home are very different from those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Anyone who is not a fool can see the difference at a glance...

So after thinking about it, I decided to give him some pastries.

At that time, just remove the wooden box in advance and wrap the pastries with greaseproof paper.

There is really not much difference between them and those sold in supply and marketing cooperatives.

After hearing his words, Fu Qing was so happy that his back teeth almost showed. He said quickly, "I know. Besides, I don't expect much. Just a couple of pieces to taste will be enough."

He knows what's going on.

Apart from anything else, too many elderly people have died in the county this year.

As for the children, it's not much different.

This has resulted in many families now being ineligible to obtain pastry tickets.

Plus, this thing can also fill your stomach.

It can be said that getting pastries is just as difficult as getting food.

So he thought that even if Li Xu got some, it would definitely not be much.

This meant to remind Li Xu not to bring too much for him.

Li Xu could naturally hear it, nodded and said nothing more.

The two chatted for a while before Li Xu said goodbye and left.

This time he didn't go anywhere else, but went straight home.

As soon as she saw him, Li Ju, who was making a snowman in the yard, quickly came over and said, "Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come and help me make a snowman."

Seeing her red hands from the cold, Li Xu rubbed her head and asked, "Don't you feel cold today?"

"I don't think so."

"Where's your eldest sister? Why don't you ask her to accompany you?"

Li Ju pointed to the main hall and said, "My eldest sister was accompanying me before. My eldest sister-in-law went to the kitchen to cook, so she went in to look after my eldest nephew."

"Okay, second brother will play with you."

After saying that, Li Xu took her to build a snowman.

Not long after.

Looking at the three snowmen in front of him, Li Xu felt very satisfied. "Little sister, these snowmen are much better looking than the ones made by your third brother and his friends, right?"

"Yeah." Li Ju nodded in agreement, then asked worriedly, "Second brother, will mom and the others be angry?"

"It's okay. I'll take the things down after they come back and see our work. Mom will just say a few words, she won't be angry."

Li Ju finally felt relieved and ran into the house.

A moment later, she came out pulling Li Mei.

Li Mei carried Li Wenbai and walked to the front of the snowman. After seeing the appearance of the three snowmen, she immediately laughed, "I was wondering why my little sister insisted on dragging me to see the snowmen. You guys are really interesting."
