"Don't worry about me. I have a lot of free time at work. I'm willing to work for twenty years, not to mention a few."

The driver's family members have always had the easiest jobs in the supply and marketing cooperative. Even though Li Xu is no longer a member of the motorcade, Du Hong's treatment has not changed.

"You're willing, but I'm not. Our family has so much money, and you're still going to work. If outsiders knew, they'd think I'd changed my mind."

This really reminded Du Hong. She raised her head and stared into Li Xu's eyes, saying seriously, "I'm telling you, don't mess around with other women outside, or I'll make you pay."

Li Xu couldn't help laughing, "Don't you know me? Am I this kind of person?"

"It wasn't like that before, but I don't know about the future." Du Hong hummed, "There's an old saying that men become bad when they have money. You're so rich now, who knows if you'll become bad?"

"I promise you, I will never do that. You will be the only woman in my life."

Those women in later generations who could not be described in words caused great psychological trauma to Li Xu.

It makes him afraid to find a girlfriend, let alone get married.

At the same time, it also made him determined that if he could find a good woman to live with, he would definitely be devoted to her and treat her well.

Du Hong stared at Li Xu's eyes closely. After a long while, seeing that he didn't show any guilty look, she lowered her head and said, "I hope you won't let me down."

"Don't worry, if I disappoint you, you can even chop me up with a knife."

Hearing this, Du Hong held Li Xu's waist even tighter.

Li Xu stroked Du Hong's shoulder and talked about other topics.

...

at the same time.

In Li Ping's room in the old Li family house.

Li Ping and his wife had just stopped fighting and were resting and chatting.

"Guilan, it's cold now. Are they still doing business at Dongfeng?"

“Yes, but business isn’t as good as in the summer.”

"That's normal. It's so cold, eating outside is pure torture. If I want to take the cold strips home, they'll probably be cold before I get home."

Let me explain here that Liangpi can be eaten hot.

"They're also considering renting a storefront next year to sell cold noodles."

Li Ping said with a smile, "There's nothing to worry about. Just rent it. Sell it in front of the store in the summer and inside in the winter. Selling a few more bowls will cover the rent. It also saves a lot of trouble. You don't have to haul things back and forth every day."

"You don't know, just over a month after you left, there's already a second Liangpi stall in the county. Dongfeng and his team are worried that next year there will be even more Liangpi stalls, which will divert customers away and reduce sales. Then, renting a storefront won't be cost-effective."

Liangpi doesn't require much technical skill, and the production method can be easily researched. Li Xu had mentioned this before, so Li Ping was not surprised. "The most important thing about Liangpi is the seasoning. Has the second stall imitated the seasoning?"

"They don't use imitation seasonings, so the taste of the cold noodles is completely different from the ones sold by Dongfeng. They each have their own merits."

Li Ping smacked his lips. "If that's the case, Dongfeng and the others really need to think about this carefully. Oh, and they said they wanted to build a house and find a partner, so what's going on?"

I'm not afraid of others imitating the seasoning, but I'm afraid of others using a different seasoning recipe, and the cold noodles they make taste pretty good.

Because Hu Dongfeng and his cold noodle stall were the first to open, they have already left an impression on people. If it is cold noodle with the same flavor, customers will definitely choose theirs first.

Only cold noodles with different flavors can easily attract customers.

"The house is ready, with a seven-room courtyard, but I'm busy with business all day and still haven't found a partner."

"It's quite a lot of money."

"That's all thanks to Xiaoxu. If Xiaoxu hadn't provided them with rice and flour, they wouldn't have earned a penny."

Before Li Xu left, he not only left a large amount of supplies for his family, but also sold a large amount of rice and flour to Hu Dongfeng and others.

All the money from the sales was invested in the fan factory.

"It's not just them. We can live like this today thanks to Xiaoxu." After sighing, Li Ping said, "Guilan, our family is rich now. Let's be more filial to our parents during the New Year."

Hu Guilan knew that the parents he was referring to were her own parents, so she hesitated and asked, "How much do you want to pay in filial piety?"

"Six hundred."

Hu Guilan's eyes suddenly widened, and she slapped Li Ping on the chest, firmly refusing, "No, I'll give you a hundred at most."

"Isn't one hundred too little? Besides, six is ​​such an auspicious number."

"Isn't that enough? Go out and ask which daughter or son-in-law can give their parents a hundred yuan during the New Year. If you want good luck, then give sixty."

Li Ping was speechless. "Why are you getting lower and lower?"

"Didn't you say six is ​​a lucky number? Besides, they only gave twenty in previous years, but this year they gave sixty. It's tripled, and you still think it's low?"

"Of course."

Hu Guilan couldn't help herself and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "If I give them 600, the children have to give them at least 10 yuan for New Year's gifts. I have more than ten nephews and nieces on my mother's side, so it's over 100 yuan, which adds up to almost 800 yuan. Now our family has a total of only 14,000 yuan. You can calculate how many of the 800 yuan are in it. If you don't feel bad about giving away one, I will."

"Hiss~" Li Ping took a breath of cold air in pain, and then suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to say something.

He quickly stood up, opened the cabinet, and found an envelope among the odds and ends he had brought back. After returning to bed, he handed it to Hu Guilan, "If you hadn't mentioned the money, I would have forgotten about it. Since the factory started making money, Lao San and I have received a salary every month. We've been receiving it for two months, a total of two thousand. Before leaving, Xiao Xu gave us another ten thousand each, saying it was a bonus. The money is all in here, keep it safe."
