After getting the exact answer, Li Xu's face was instantly filled with smiles, "Yes, Mr. Qi is a very particular person."

"Brother, why were you so excited just now?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of some unpleasant things."

"Okay."

Li Chen responded and walked straight into the yard.

Li Xu also followed into the courtyard and asked Li Ju, "Little sister, how about I ask someone to make you a new wooden barrel tomorrow?"

"Don't we have one in the room? Why do you need to make a new one?" Li Ju tilted her head and looked at him with confusion.

"That barrel is too old, so I want to make a new one for you."

After thinking about it, Li Ju refused and said, "Second brother, I think that wooden barrel is fine. There is no need to change it."

Li Xu wanted to continue persuading, but he didn't know what to say.

There's nothing I can do about it. These days no one cares whether it's clean or not. It's good enough if it's usable.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Forget it, just keep using it."

Li Xu could only comfort himself in his heart: that wooden barrel is used for medicinal baths, and there are so many medicinal herbs in it, so it should be relatively clean.

"Well, second brother, do you want to see the moves I learned today?"

"look."

Hearing this, Li Ju pulled up her baggy pants and then performed various movements in a methodical manner.

After she finished all the moves, Li Xu quickly applauded and cheered, "Good, good fight, little sister, you are really amazing."

"Tsk, what's so great about that? I fight better than her." Li Chen grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Li Xu glared and scolded, "Are you itching for trouble? How old is she? How old are you? How dare you compare yourself to her?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen shrank his neck and dared not speak again.

Li Ju also heard what Li Chen said. She wrinkled her face and said unhappily, "Third brother, Grandpa Qi said that you can't fight as well as me. Don't you admit it?"

Li Xu burst into laughter. "Third brother, you, as a big brother, haven't learned as well as your little sister. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Li Chen's face turned green, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Soon I will be able to surpass her."

At this time, Li Jiakang and others came back from get off work. They saw Li Xu smiling happily and asked him the reason.

Li Xu recounted the story. After listening, Sun Xiu looked at Li Chen speechlessly. "Third Brother, we spent a lot of money for you to learn martial arts. You must study hard. Do you hear me?"

"I studied hard." Li Chen said with a sad face.

Everyone looked at each other, it seemed that he was not lying...

Li Jiakang sighed, "It's over now. I didn't expect the third brother to be neither good at literature nor martial arts. Our money has been wasted."

Sun Xiu slapped him and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's only his first day of martial arts training, and you can tell that he's not good at martial arts?"

Then she said with a kind expression, "Third brother, you should study hard, win honor for mom, and let your dad see it clearly."

"Yeah." Li Chen said seriously, "Mom, don't worry, I will study hard."

Sun Xiu nodded, then asked, "Do you two feel tired from practicing martial arts?"

"Not tired." Li Chen and Li Ju said in unison.

"As long as you're not tired, that's fine. Okay, let's stop standing in the yard and go inside."

After saying that, Sun Xiu walked towards the main hall, and everyone followed him.

...

More than ten days passed.

During this period, Mr. Li and Li Jiafu came to the county, which meant that everything was fine. From now on, Li Jiakang and others could go to Qinghe Brigade at will.

Li Chen studied martial arts more diligently every day. He not only had to stand in a stance during the day, but also at night.

Nothing happened to other people, but Li Xu was very busy.

Because the supply and marketing cooperatives transported goods more frequently.

That's nothing, what he can't stand the most is that his vacation time is shortened after each transport...

He had just returned from delivering goods that day, and it was already past seven o'clock when he got home.

While eating dinner, I heard Sun Xiu say, "Xiao Xu, Fu Qing came to see you two days ago."

Li Xu paused while eating and asked vaguely, "What does he want from me?"

"He didn't say."

"Okay, I'll take a day off tomorrow and go find him then."

After saying that, Li Xu continued to eat voraciously.

After dinner, Li Xu rested on the stool.

But unexpectedly, Fu Qing and his parents came over.

The adults were chatting and Li Xu asked quietly, "Did you come to see me the other day?"

"Yes, you were not at home at that time. Aunt Sun told me that you would not be back until today, so I came here."

"Then why are Uncle Fu and the others here too?"

Fu Qing chuckled and said mysteriously, "They are here to see you and give you a gift."

"Huh?" Li Xu was stunned. "What's the connection? Why are Uncle Fu and the others giving me gifts?"

"Have you forgotten that you helped my family find Mr. Wu Qingfeng?"

"I haven't forgotten. Is it related to him?" Li Xu still couldn't remember.

Fu Qing's eyes widened immediately, and his voice unconsciously rose a lot. "My mother said she wanted to give you a big gift, do you remember?"

Now Li Xu remembered and said with sudden enlightenment, "Yes, that's right."

After so much time, he really forgot...

By this time, the adults had finished their greetings. Aunt Fu smiled and said to Li Xu, "Xiao Xu, thank you so much for taking care of my family before. We came here to thank you. I hope you don't mind making you wait so long."

Li Xu was a little amused and said, "Aunt Fu, what are you talking about? Actually, I don't even want it."

"That won't work. We've already brought the things here, you can't refuse them." Uncle Fu said.

Hearing this, everyone in the Li family was stunned.

It seems like you came in empty-handed?

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Uncle Fu suddenly laughed and said, "The gift is outside. Come on, follow me out."

Everyone followed him into the yard, where Uncle Fu pointed at the bicycle and said, "The gift is right there."

Li Xu suspected he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and realized there was only a bicycle with nothing on it. So he asked, "Uncle Fu, there's nothing on the bicycle?"

"Silly boy, the gift I'm talking about is this bicycle."

"Ah?" Everyone in the Li family exclaimed in surprise.

Li Xu came to his senses and quickly refused, "No, no, this gift is too expensive. I dare not accept it."

"Yes, Brother Fu, our family cannot accept this gift." Li Jiakang echoed.

Uncle Fu waved his hand and said, "You have to accept it even if you don't want to. Xiao Li, did you promise your aunt before?"

"Yes, I agreed, but this gift..." Li Xu said hesitantly.

He really didn't expect that the Fu family would be so generous.
