After returning home at night, Li Xu took a nap.

After breakfast, Li Xu pulled Sun Xiu aside and whispered, "Mom, I have something I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

Li Xu rubbed his hands and said, "Mom, didn't I say that we would give grandma and grandpa some food every month? Now there are some problems."

Sun Xiu was startled and grabbed Li Xu's arm, his expression panicking. "Son, what's the problem? Is there no food available?"

Then he muttered to himself, "Alas, food is so scarce now, it's normal that we can't get it. Don't give us this food. Fortunately, we still have a lot saved from the food you gave us before. We can save a little and get through it."

Li Xu was also at a loss for words and quickly explained, "Mom, we can still get food, but there is no coarse grains."

"Hmm?" Sun Xiu was stunned, then hesitated and said, "You mean there's still food?"

Li Xu nodded. "Yes, but now the coarse grains have been replaced by others, and now it's all fine grains."

"You damn kid, you scared me to death." Hearing this, Sun Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "Who taught you to talk in half sentences? Don't you have enough money? It's okay, Mom has some here. How much do you need?"

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

During this period, Li Xu's family never went hungry, and there was plenty of food.

If we can’t get food now, we will really have to live a hard life.

Sun Xiu never wanted to experience that feeling of being so hungry that you wanted to eat everything again.

"I have money, but I want to ask how to give it to grandma and the others since it's all fine grains."

Sun Xiu thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "How about giving them some coarse grains from home?"

Li Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring the food back tomorrow."

"good."

After that, the two of them set off to work.

After arriving at the motorcade, Li Xu was called over by Liu Gang, "Boy, come here quickly."

"Hey, Uncle Liu, why don't you call me nephew today?"

Liu Gang glanced at him and said, "You little bastard, you're still trying to make fun of me."

Then he whispered, "I've asked my family, and now I can offer a work quota and a watch ticket. Can you afford it?"

Li Xu's eyes lit up and he nodded continuously, "I can eat it, I can eat it. Uncle Liu, what's the price?"

This has exceeded Li Xu's psychological expectations.

He also knew that Liu Gang's family had connections, but he had originally thought that he would be satisfied with just a watch ticket or a bicycle ticket.

I never expected that there would be a work indicator.

In fact, in this era, most urban families have only one job per family.

But there are always exceptions.

People with talent can even have stable jobs at home...

For example, if a person is in charge of human resources in a factory, once the factory has a vacancy, wouldn’t the first thing he consider be his family, relatives and friends?

These are all human nature.

"A total of 40 kilograms of fine grains or 110 kilograms of coarse grains." After saying that, Liu Gang also stared at Li Xu.

This price is similar to what Li Xu estimated.

Although watch tickets are valuable, they also have their limits.

After all, people won’t die if they don’t buy watches.

But without food, you will die...

Li Xu thought about it and agreed, "Okay, let's just give him 40 kilograms of fine grains. We really can't get any coarse grains."

Although Liu Gang was a little disappointed, he nodded and said, "Okay, where do we trade?"

In fact, Liu Gang's family would rather switch to coarse grains, after all, they can eat them for a longer time.

Li Xu hesitated for a moment, "Uncle Liu, how about I send it to your house tonight?"

Liu Gang thought about it and agreed.

Then he repeated his home address.

Then Li Xu repeated it again, indicating that he had remembered it.

Both of them were in a good mood when they saw that they had reached an agreement.

Although Liu Gang did not get the coarse grains he expected, he was happy enough to be able to exchange them for fine grains.

Not to mention Li Xu.

I felt even happier when I thought that Uncle Sun’s family could also get a place.

Entering this era, Li Xu feels that the biggest change in him may be his view on family affection.

Many young people in later generations don't attach much importance to family ties, and sometimes even think that having too many relatives is a nuisance...

Li Xu is one of them...

Every time relatives come to my house, if they speak a little loudly, I will become very irritated and particularly reluctant to visit them.

But now he believes that relatives should help each other.

Of course, except for those top relatives...

After get off work in the afternoon, Li Xu rushed back to his room.

Even Li Ju's shouts were just perfunctory responses.

After entering the house, he closed the door to prevent others from coming in and disturbing him.

Then he took out the calligraphy and paintings he had exchanged at night from the space.

Rubbing his little hands, his face was full of joy.

After exchanging it at night, Li Xu still hadn't seen the calligraphy and painting.

Of course, he also wants to be influenced by some cultural relics and enrich himself with culture.

A closer look revealed that the box was said to be made of rosewood.

You know what, I really didn't notice it at night.

Only now did I realize that the box was actually carved with hollow patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum around it.

Li Xu couldn't help but blurt out, "Fuck, that's awesome."

After admiring the box, Li Xu took out the painting again.

Carefully unfold it and spread it on the bed.

There was a landscape painting on it.

Li Xu looked carefully for a while.

I really don't see where the good is...

Li Xu touched his chin and thought that if he had learned painting, he would probably be able to draw something like this...

Then look at the string of seals.

I want to see which celebrity put it there.

After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh, "What the hell is engraved on this seal?"

There are so many seals, but Li Xu can't recognize all of them...

The better ones can recognize one or two words, but the worse ones can't recognize any words at all.

Li Xu couldn't help but touch his chin again and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he finally said, "This is out of touch with the masses..."

Li Xu felt that this should not be his problem.

It’s a problem of the owners of these seals.

I think he was a college student after all, so I think with his literacy level, he can represent the masses without any problems...

Li Xu then put the painting away and placed it in the space.

Opened the door and walked out.

Then I saw that everyone had already arrived home.

Li Mei saw Li Xu coming out of the house and asked curiously, "Why do you lock yourself in the house after get off work?"

Li Xu thought for a moment, then smiled inscrutablely, "I'm being influenced by culture."

"Huh?" Li Mei was stunned. "Cultural influence? What culture?"

“Calligraphy and painting culture.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mei also became interested, "What kind of calligraphy or painting is it? Let me see it."
