Uncle Sun advised earnestly, "Xiaochen, don't push yourself. If anything happens to you, we won't be able to explain to your parents."

"Don't worry, uncle, nothing will happen." Li Chen patted his chest and promised.

In fact, everyone already knew it at this time, and he should know why he became like that.

After a moment of silence, Old Lady Sun asked, "What about the food?"

"Still follow the same standard as before."

Today's meal was enough to keep him full for three or four days.

As for the remaining days, we can only take it one step at a time.

If it really doesn't work, I still have my little cousin.

In this way, Li Chen's transformation career began again.

After the grain is harvested, everyone starts to dry it out in the sun, and then they have to pay the tax.

These tasks exhausted him so much that he had no time to think about anything else, even the young widow was forgotten.

That night.

Sun Xiu and his wife, brothers Li Ping and Li Xu, and Sun Min and his wife came to discuss celebrating Old Lady Sun's birthday.

Entering the room and seeing the darker, thinner Li Chen, Li Jiakang couldn't help but reveal a satisfied look and said to him, "Not bad, it seems you have been working hard these days."

Sun Xiu even asked directly, "Third brother, have you reflected on your actions now?"

Li Chen nodded repeatedly in response, "I've reflected on it. I know I was wrong. Mom, please take me back."

Sun Xiu didn't answer, but looked at Old Lady Sun, "Mom, how has Xiaochen been doing recently?"

"It's pretty good. Except for the day when I had to stay at home to recuperate due to special circumstances, I work every day."

"Special circumstances?"

"Well, I don't know what happened, but Xiaochen had diarrhea that night and was almost exhausted. There was nothing we could do, so we had to let him rest at home the next day."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiu's maternal love instantly came to the fore, and a look of concern appeared on her face. "Third brother, besides diarrhea, are you feeling any other discomfort? Have you had diarrhea again since then?"

"No." Li Chen shook his head. "If I had any other symptoms, or if it continued like this, my uncle would have sent me to the county hospital long ago."

Sun Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Go pack your things and come back with us later."

Li Chen has been performing pretty well these days, and considering this incident, we decided not to let him stay for the last two days and let him go home to recuperate.

Hearing this, Li Chen jumped three feet high and ran straight out.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing. After laughing, Sun Xiu talked about business.

As she expected, Mrs. Sun was firmly opposed to celebrating the birthday.

But the objection was ineffective.

Except for herself, everyone else agreed very much, and Uncle Sun Da and Uncle Sun Er also expressed their willingness to contribute.

Seeing that the matter was settled, everyone chatted for a while before Sun Xiu and others said goodbye.

Since they only rode three bikes, Li Chen had to return to his old position and sit on the front bumper of Li Jiakang's bike when they left.

At this moment, he did not show any reluctance, but his face was full of joy.

After returning home, Li Chen ran straight to the cupboard, took out some pastries and started to gobble them up.

Seeing this scene, no one said anything. Hu Guilan even poured him a glass of water and asked him to eat slowly.

Li Chen didn't stop until his stomach was full. He picked up the water cup and started to sip it with a satisfied look on his face.

At this time, Li Jiakang suddenly asked, "You won't continue to associate with that young widow in the future, right?"

The sudden words made Li Chen choke on his water. He coughed for a long time before recovering. Then he quickly responded, "No, I won't say a word to her in the future. Even if she looks for me, I won't pay attention to her."

"You said it, if I find out there's a next time, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Don't worry, it won't happen again." After making this promise, Li Chen said to Sun Xiu expectantly, "Mom, can you make me some white flour buns tomorrow?"

"White flour buns?" Sun Xiu was stunned. "Why would you want to eat this?"

For the Li family, rice is the staple food of choice.

Except for Li Xu who often eats white flour buns when on business trips, the rest of the people may not eat them more than twice a year.

Now that Li Chen suddenly made this request, she of course found it very strange.

"My uncle and his friends got greedy a few days ago."

Although it was just a short sentence, everyone was able to guess what had happened.

Hu Guilan smiled and said, "Xiaochen, help me take care of the children tomorrow, and I will do it for you."

For Li Chen, who was resting at home, taking care of the children was a must, so there was naturally no reason for him to refuse.

...

Two nights later, everyone celebrated Mrs. Sun’s 60th birthday with great enthusiasm.

Li Chen also took this opportunity to bring some snacks to Sun Jiuzhu.

After this day, life returned to normal.

It was not until one day more than two months later that Tang County became noisy again.

This morning.

When Li Xu arrived at the unit, he saw people gathered in groups of three or four. Their faces were full of dissatisfaction and their voices were filled with anger.

Passing by them, Li Xu listened carefully and knew what was going on.

It turns out that this year's Spring Festival holiday has been cancelled, and according to instructions, people cannot take leave during those days.

Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!" You know, before this, the only holiday that everyone could enjoy normally was the Spring Festival holiday.

After a year of work, many people are looking forward to having a good rest these few days.

Now, everyone has to work all year round and they are not even allowed to ask for leave. Who can be happy?
