Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
"You accepted it? This thing is worth more than 300 yuan, why did you accept it?" Sun Xiu asked hurriedly, "If you want a bicycle, Mom will give you money to buy one."
Li Xu was a bit amused and confused. "I live so close to work, why would I need a bicycle? Besides, you saw that Uncle Fu and his wife were determined to give me the bicycle, and I couldn't refuse them. But don't worry, Fu Qing and I have already agreed that when he gets married, I will give him a little more money as compensation."
Hearing this, Sun Xiu and the others looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
At this moment, Li Xu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly reminded, "By the way, don't tell anyone about the gift money. If Uncle Fu and the others find out, they will definitely skin Fu Qing alive."
"Don't worry, we won't tell." Everyone responded.
"That's fine." Li Xu then asked curiously, "The price of bicycles has dropped, so are the prices of watches also reduced?"
"The price has dropped. Now a watch is two or three hundred cheaper than before. It just so happens that you have a day off tomorrow, so go buy it for me when you have nothing to do. You can ask your mother for the money later." Li Jiakang said excitedly.
He had been coveting the watch for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity to get it at a reduced price, so he was naturally very eager.
Li Xu refused without a second thought, "How would I know what you like? If you're not satisfied, I'll probably say something to you. That would be so unfair to me. You'd better take some time off and buy it yourself."
In fact, he felt that even if the watch he bought made Li Jiakang very satisfied, he would probably still be criticized.
So don't bother with this.
Sun Xiu may have thought of this as well, and she agreed, "That's right, go buy it yourself tomorrow, so that you won't be picky when Xiao Xu brings it back."
Li Jiakang thought about it and felt that this made sense, so he asked Sun Xiu to ask for half a day off for him.
After everyone chatted for a while, Li Xu realized that many high-priced items had been reduced in price today, including alcohol, cakes, candies and other items.
Hearing this, he immediately started to think about it in his mind.
Due to overwork, Li Xu naturally slept for a long time, and when he woke up it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning.
Arriving in the courtyard, Li Xu saw Mr. Qi and Qi Wen instructing Li Ju and the other two in standing meditation. He quickly greeted them, "Mr. Qi, Qi Wen, good morning."
Qi Wen gave face to his future brother-in-law and responded with a smile on his face.
But Old Master Qi was different. He snorted coldly and said with displeasure, "Good morning? It's almost lunchtime. How can you be so lazy at such a young age?"
Li Xu felt accustomed to it.
Because he knew that there was no habit of sleeping in in Mr. Qi's family, so he would always say a few words when he saw such things.
So he said nonchalantly, "Old man, please don't compare me with you guys. I don't practice martial arts, so why would I get up so early? Besides, I've been tired for several days, so it's normal to sleep in, right?"
Old Master Qi snorted coldly, "When I was your age, I could go three days and three nights without any sleep. You just transported goods for a few days, is it really necessary to be so exhausted?"
At this time, Qi Wen pulled his arm and said gently, "Grandpa, please stop talking. Brother-in-law is right. He doesn't need to practice martial arts, so why does he get up so early?"
"That's right, please let me go and don't criticize me anymore. I know it's not good to sleep in, but I just can't control myself."
Ever since Grandpa Qi came to their house to teach Li Ju and the other two martial arts, Li Xu would be scolded whenever he got up late. Who could stand that?
"It's not that you can't control it, it's that you don't want to control it." After saying this, Mr. Qi turned his attention back to Li Ju and the other two. "Everyone, pay attention. Anyone who dares to move will have to stand there for ten more minutes."
After hearing this, the three of them became more serious and their movements became more standard.
After washing up, Li Xu lay down on the lounge chair under the eaves and watched them practice martial arts.
After watching for a while, he felt it was boring, so he teased Li Wenbai who was walking back and forth beside him.
In order to save trouble, the Qi family's grandfather, grandson, and Du Sen would bring some food and pickles when they came every morning, and then have lunch at the Li family.
The same thing happened at noon today.
But Li Xu was in a good mood today, so he asked Hu Guilan to cook a few eggs and give one to everyone.
When he wasn't teaching martial arts, Mr. Qi was quite kind. He smiled and said, "Little Li, you're really generous. You're willing to give us eggs before the disaster is over."
"What are you talking about? You and your grandson have suffered a lot during this period. What's an egg to you?"
It is tiring for people who practice martial arts, and it is also tiring for people who teach. Besides, soon everyone will be relatives, so Li Xu can still bear to give up two eggs.
Besides, the Qi family’s grandfather and grandson taught so seriously, so Li Xu naturally wanted to thank them, so he asked Hu Guilan to secretly add some extra food to their meals every day.
It's just that they don't know it.
Old Master Qi nodded, showing a satisfied expression, "You are not bad, kid. To be honest, if you are willing to learn martial arts, I will definitely teach you everything I know."
He is a traditional warrior with traditional ideas, believing that learning martial arts must start with learning morality.
After such a long period of contact, he felt that Li Xu's moral character was quite good and met the requirements of martial arts, so he said this.
It's a pity that Li Xuzhi wasn't here. After hearing this, he kept waving his hands, "Old man, you're joking. I'm born lazy and totally unsuitable for martial arts."
Seeing him avoid snakes and scorpions, Old Master Qi didn't force him. He just sighed and said, "Fine, if you don't want to learn, forget it. But if you're interested, I can teach you a few moves. I can't tell you more, but at least it will enable you to protect yourself when you're unarmed."
After hearing this, Li Xu really became interested.
After all, it's always good to have many skills. If you have nothing to do, it's a good thing to learn one more skill.
Moreover, after the disaster is over, people will be able to eat their fill, and by then their strength advantage will no longer be obvious, and they will likely suffer losses in a fight.
So it is very necessary to learn a few tricks.
So he hesitantly asked, "Old man, how many people can you beat with only a few moves?"
Mr. Qi pondered for a moment, then replied, "Three or five people."
Hearing this, Li Xu suddenly became excited and asked quickly, "When will you teach me?"
"Why, do you want to learn?"
"Yes, absolutely." Li Xu said firmly.
"Okay, then, let's do it this afternoon."
Li Xu nodded repeatedly. "No problem. I'll give you 30 eggs as tuition. What do you think?"
Mr. Qi agreed immediately, "Of course, I'm the one who took advantage of you."
