Although Uncle Sun introduced it before.
This time everyone introduced themselves again.
But Li Xu didn't remember many people...
No matter what Li Ping shouted, he would just follow.
Several old men also gave some praise.
It made several people feel very embarrassed.
Only after everyone left did Li Xu and others breathe a sigh of relief.
Captain Sun laughed and said, "Don't be polite if you have any questions from now on. We are a family from now on."
Li Ping and others also nodded in response.
After a few more words, Sun Xiu and others said goodbye.
Captain Sun also escorted them out of the house.
He didn't close the door until there was no one around anymore.
After entering the house, Captain Sun's eldest son hesitated to speak, but finally asked, "Dad, what if we really need to repay your kindness with our lives?"
Captain Sun had specifically asked him to stay in the yard just now, so he knew everything.
Captain Sun showed a complicated expression, "Boss, do you know why I kept you in the yard?"
"have no idea."
"Because I am the head of the Sun family, and unless something unexpected happens, you will be too, so you should know this. I am not afraid to tell you that if it comes to the point of repaying a favor with my own life, I can accept three or five lives, and one of them will definitely be your brother."
"Ah?" Captain Sun's eldest son was shocked. "Dad, are you serious? Besides, our family didn't get any food either."
"Of course I'm serious. Our ancestral teachings say that we must repay a favor. As the head of the Sun family, I naturally have to set a good example for my clan members."
"Even so, isn't it too much of a waste to exchange so many lives for such a small amount of food?"
Captain Sun scoffed. "Human life? Since ancient times, human life has been worthless. During the famine more than ten years ago, during the later stages, not to mention a hundred kilograms of grain, even killing for a mouthful of food was common. In my opinion, people can be killed, they can commit suicide, but they must not be starved to death. Because starvation is the most cruel punishment in the world."
When he spoke of the latter part, a hint of sadness appeared in Captain Sun's eyes.
"Brother Dahei's family donated more food, why didn't we do the same?"
Captain Sun explained, "Because their surname is Sun, they are from the same clan. Although your sister Xiu'er's surname is Sun, she married into another family, and that family doesn't have the surname Sun. Your sister Xiu'er donated grain to us, so her family is the benefactor of the Sun family, and we naturally have to give an explanation."
"What if we refuse? Or what if the chosen brother doesn't agree?"
"A man without integrity cannot stand. This has been said. If we refuse, the ancestral precepts that our Sun family has upheld for hundreds of years will become empty words, and there will be no Sunjia Beach anymore." Then, Captain Sun showed a ruthless look, "Anyone who dares to refuse, don't blame me for not recognizing this son."
After saying this, Captain Sun looked at his eldest son and said coldly, "I'm telling the heads of each family this today because I'm worried that if I'm gone, you might be soft-hearted and reluctant to let your brother go, and thus refuse this matter. To tell you the truth, if you refuse, then you won't be a member of the Sun family anymore; if you don't let your brother go, then our lineage will no longer be the head of the family."
Captain Sun is naturally an excellent head of the family as he has led his people through the war years.
He has the persistence of the older generation and knows that one must repay a favor.
But he is still as ruthless as he should be.
He knew that this food could not save everyone.
So he would rather his tribesmen die in gratitude than see them starve to death.
He even secretly hoped that this would happen sooner...
Moreover, in his opinion, the continuation of the Sun family is the most important thing.
Ancestral teachings are the foundation.
Once the clan members start to lose their trust and loyalty, the Sun family will fall apart.
Therefore, he would not allow anyone to do anything that would violate the ancestral teachings.
Even his son.
After he finished speaking, his eldest son nodded palely, "Dad, I understand."
After Sun Xiu and his family chatted with Old Lady Sun for a while, they all said goodbye.
On the way, Li Xu asked, "Should we tell my elder sister and the others about this when we get back?"
Li Jiakang thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about it. The less people know about this, the better."
Sun Xiu also agreed, "Your father is right. This favor will be carried on by the two of you from now on. If you ever need to use it, please let us know and let the four of us discuss it together."
This statement was also agreed by the other three.
In their eyes, human life is very precious.
Therefore, you must be extremely cautious when using favors.
When we got home, everyone in the family gathered around to ask what happened.
Li Xu and the others naturally said a few words selectively.
But it still made Li Mei and the others very excited, and they all regretted not going to the scene.
Two more days passed.
After getting up.
Li Xu, who had just put on his clothes, shivered involuntarily.
Then I was stunned and thought, this temperature is wrong, why is it so cold?
So he hurried out the door.
As soon as I left the house, I felt the temperature dropped a lot.
Moreover, the cold wind was blowing "woosh", making people feel even colder.
After shaking a few times, Li Xu hurried back to the house and found some thicker clothes to put on.
Only then did I feel warm.
After going out to wash up, Li Xu heard Li Jiakang complaining as soon as he entered the main room, "In this weather, everyone was still wearing long sleeves yesterday, but today they have to put on cotton clothes."
Nowadays, people basically don’t have any transitional clothes.
Wear long sleeves when the weather is cooler.
If it gets colder, add a few more layers of clothing under your long sleeves.
If it's even colder, just put on some cotton clothes.
If it snows heavily, put on more clothes under your cotton coat...
Of course, this refers to families with good conditions.
Now that the temperature has suddenly dropped so much, everyone has put on their cotton coats.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that everyone in the house was wearing the same style of cotton-padded clothes.
Well, the main reason is that there are a lot of patches on the cotton-padded jackets, so they are the same style.
Moreover, Li Chen and Li Ju's cotton coats were a little ill-fitting and looked a little big.
After Li Ju called out "Second Brother", she also walked to Li Xu's side.
She raised her little face and looked at him.
Li Xu touched her little head and asked curiously, "Why are you feeling wronged so early in the morning? Who offended you?"
Li Ju said crisply, "No one is messing with me, it's just this dress, look."
After saying that, he raised his arm and pointed to a small hole on it to show him.
Li Xu took a closer look and said with a smile, "Oh, it's broken here, little sister, did you break it?"
Li Ju shook her head, "It wasn't me, it was already torn when I put it on just now."
Li Mei next to her also said, "She probably accidentally caught something and didn't notice it herself."
