Normally, Li Xu is always laughing and joking, and it is rare to see him like this.
"What's the matter? Let's talk inside."
"No, just stay here." Li Xu grabbed him, as if afraid that he would leave.
Li Yao stopped and stared at him, waiting for him to speak.
"Um... do you still have those birth control products?" Li Xu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm done with mine, I want to lend you two."
Li Yao glanced at him and said, "Wait."
He returned to the room and saw Ning Jiayi lying on the kang, ready to rest.
"Is there any more of that?"
"That?" Ning Jia asked, then reacted and looked at Li Yao and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is your body made of iron? I see that you look tired, you should rest."
Li Yao realized that she had misunderstood, so he explained, "Fifth Brother needs it."
"Ah? Didn't you just give An Ye two boxes? Twenty of them! It's only been a few days?" Ning Jia was shocked.
This person eats "meat" more frequently than eating rice!
Li Yao raised the corner of his mouth: "Keep your voice down, Fifth Brother is waiting outside."
Ning Jia thought silently in his heart, is this person a Teddy bear? No wonder An Ye was clamoring for a divorce!
This energy... is indeed different from ordinary people!
Ning Jia took out a box from the box and said, "Tell him to save some money. Director Wang gave me this stuff to help promote family planning. How could it be for him alone?"
Li Yao handed the item to Li Xu, and just as he was about to repeat his wife's words to him, he saw him wave his hand hurriedly: "Stop talking, I heard everything just now."
It's so embarrassing!
Since he knew it, Li Yao didn't say anything. He turned around, went back to the room, locked the door, and went straight into bed to sleep.
There are important things to do today, and I can't rest well.
forecourt.
On the wedding night, the couple counted the gift money and found that there was not much. Those who came were all from the same village, and they all brought their families with them for dinner, but the money was not even enough to fill their stomachs.
But because his mother-in-law gave him more money, Li Chuan was quite happy, especially since there were still several dozen yuan saved in the passbook.
"Our mother is so good to you."
Lin Xiaoxi sneered. She had fought for this little bit of money. If she hadn't threatened and made a fuss, her own mother would probably have wanted to not give her a penny.
Giving her this little money is just buying her a peaceful life for the rest of her life.
"I've collected it!" Li Chuan was in a good mood. After counting the money, he was ready to enjoy a night of luxury.
Lin Xiaoxi was quite looking forward to it, but she didn't expect that Li Chuan had been busy for half the night and had no success.
Seeing him sweating profusely, Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, maybe you are too tired these days, don't worry, we have a long way to go."
Li Chuan felt very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do as that thing didn't live up to his expectations.
He was afraid of losing face in front of his wife, so he quickly said, "Yes, yes, I must have been too tired recently, cleaning the new house and preparing for the wedding. I was so busy that I couldn't even get my feet off the ground."
Lin Xiaoxi felt a little regretful, but didn't say anything.
Everyone is tired these days, and it is not necessary to consummate the marriage on the wedding night.
"Go to bed and get some rest early."
The two of them slept together with regrets in their hearts.

After Li Chuan’s wedding, the Chinese New Year will not be far away.
Having just held a wedding, Old Lady Xu’s family assets and stored food were almost emptied out. The good times wouldn’t last for more than a few days, so she had to tighten her belt.
For several days in a row, there was no meat on the table, not even a few eggs, so it was inevitable that others would complain.
"Mom, it's almost New Year's Day, why is the meal so bland and tasteless? It won't be good for Xuejiao to go without nutrition while she's pregnant." Li Heng raised the question at the dinner table first.
Others also responded.
Old Mrs. Xu also noticed it, but there was nothing she could do because she really had nothing left to take out.
Now that the new daughter-in-law has been married into the family, she also wants to relax and enjoy herself.
She knew that she had nothing left, but Lin Xiaoxi had something in her pocket. Her parents gave her a lot of things on the wedding day.
She originally thought that Lin Xiaoxi would definitely take it out and give it to her for safekeeping, but she didn't expect that after she hinted several times, the other party seemed not to understand.
Old Mrs. Xu put down her chopsticks, stood up, went back to the house, got the key and put it on the dining table: "When I get old, I will no longer be the head of this family. I have to hand it over to you young people to take charge. Who would like to take charge in the future? Just let me know."
Old Mrs. Xu was stunned while cooking. She used to hide the key like a treasure, but now that Lin Xiaoxi came in, she was no longer the head of the household?
Jinfeng didn't plan to take the key. She had some change on hand after working with Ning Jia these days.
She thought about dividing the family property once she had saved some money, so she had no intention of getting involved in this mess.
Xuejiao herself had no intention of doing so. Even if she wanted to, she was powerless.
Liang Lanlan was tempted and wanted to take the key, but then she changed her mind and realized that all the good things were with Lin Xiaoxi. It was obvious that the old lady was handing over the keys to Lin Xiaoxi.
Thinking of this, she stopped moving.
Lin Xiaoxi raised the corner of her mouth: "Mom, you still have to take charge of this family."
Mrs. Xu said she would not be the head of the household anymore and handed the key to Lin Xiaoxi: "Seventh Old Wife, I think you are suitable to be the head of the household, come on."
"Mom, I'm not suitable for this job. I just got married into our family. How can I be the head of several sisters-in-law? My words don't carry any weight. You still have to take charge." Lin Xiaoxi also followed suit and refused.
What the old lady meant was, could she not be unhappy?
Whoever picks up the key now will be the one being taken advantage of.
"No, no, no, we won't. We will all listen to you!"
"Yes, yes, I'll do as you say."
The whole family expressed their opinions.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxi took the key without hesitation and said, "If that's the case, then I won't be polite. You all want me to be the housekeeper, so I will be the housekeeper."
When everyone saw her pick up the key, they were secretly happy.
There is nothing good to eat at home, so it’s time for Lin Xiaoxi to “open the granary and release the grain”, right?
What no one expected was that Lin Xiaoxi opened the cupboard after breakfast and began to count the grain and vegetables in the house.
It turned out that this little bit of food and vegetables could only last until the Chinese New Year, and there would be nothing to eat after the New Year when there was a shortage of food.
She wanted to see how much money was left in the family, and finally old lady Xu gave her ten yuan in total and told her that this was all the family's property.
Li Chuan was a little dumbfounded, feeling that his wife had taken on a hot potato.
Lin Xiaoxi didn't think so. After counting the inventory, she immediately held a meeting. After explaining the situation at home to everyone, she began to ask for money.
"This amount of money is definitely not enough for the family's food and clothing. If the brothers and sisters-in-law have money in their pockets, please take it out to deal with the emergency."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"What do you mean? We have handed over all our money to our mother, so where does the money come from?" Li Yuan was the first to jump out and object, "Besides, sister-in-law, you have money in your hands..."
I originally wanted to take all the credit, but ended up letting others take all the credit.
"Third brother, if you say that, we won't be able to live like this! I'm not trying to make things difficult for everyone as soon as I get married, but to put it bluntly, if Third brother has money in his pocket, would you be willing to support the whole family by yourself? If you're unwilling to take the money, then I have no choice but to propose separation as soon as I get married." Lin Xiaoxi changed her usual politeness and went straight to Li Yuan.
Talking about dividing the family now would undoubtedly mean the death of the third and fourth sons.
There are few people working in these two houses, but many people eating.
"Mom, how...how could this happen?" Li Yuan looked at Old Lady Xu unhappily. "It was all my seventh brother who paid for the wedding. Why are you asking us to fill the hole when he runs out of money?"
Old Mrs. Xu also looked helpless: "When the family is in trouble, we have to tide over the difficulties together. If you don't pay, how can we live? Old Seven's wife has no choice."
"Yes, brothers and sisters-in-law, I have no choice. All the money has been spent, and there is no more money to talk about. Now everyone should take out money to tide over the difficulties together. After we get through this winter, I will lead everyone to make money and eat meat tomorrow." Lin Xiaoxi said confidently, "I hope you believe me!"
This is something you just can't believe or do, right?
No one wants to pay, but no one can avoid paying. Otherwise, how can they live?
When each family went back to get the money, they were all unhappy.
Xuejiao sat on the kang and sulked, "Why are the wives getting more difficult than the last? Lin Zhiqing wasn't like this before, but look at how powerful he is now! He wants to split up the family at every turn, and this split is just a warning to us!"
"Come on, wife, don't be angry. Being angry is bad for your health! Look at how much money we have. You can give some of it to us!" Li Heng had no choice. What else could he do in this situation?
"Hey, take the money! I'm unlucky to marry into your family!" Xuejiao stood up angrily. Just after taking two steps, she suddenly heard a thump in her stomach, and then a stream of water flowed down her trouser legs. "Oh, Li Heng... I, I think I'm about to give birth!"
