Li Xu also followed him in.
Then he saw that everyone in the Fu family was sitting in the house, so he greeted them one by one.
Uncle Fu also smiled heartily, "You haven't been here for a long time."
"Uncle Fu, I've actually been here many times, but you didn't see me when you were at work."
Seeing that Uncle Fu was about to speak, Fu Qing quickly said, "Dad, Mom, Lao Li sent two live fish over. I'll put these things inside. They won't freeze to death if I leave them outside."
Is this how men address others at work these days?
Li Xu kept thinking in his mind.
After hearing this, Uncle Fu and the others quickly refused.
Li Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, please accept it. This is also a token of my gratitude as a junior."
After that, the two sides argued for a long time.
Finally, the family paid in full before accepting it.
After talking for a while, Uncle Fu asked, "Xiao Xu, have you bought the meat for your family?"
Li Xu shook his head, "No."
"Okay, come find me at the butcher's tomorrow and I'll save you a piece of prime fat."
"Uncle Fu, won't others gossip about you?"
Uncle Fu waved his hand. "What's there to say? Honestly, if you go buy it yourself, all you'll be left with is lean meat."
This is equivalent to the unspoken rule of their industry.
There's only so much fat on a pig, what do you do if everyone wants it?
Of course, whoever has the connection will want it.
Hearing this, Li Xu also grinned, "Thank you very much, Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu also pretended to be displeased and said, "If you say thank you again, I will be unhappy."
Aunt Fu quickly said, "Yes, thank you is too formal."
Li Xu said a few more words before returning home.
Actually, he came to deliver the fish today partly out of sincerity, and partly to see if he could get a backdoor so he could skip the line...
I just didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise.
So I was happy on the way back.
Since he had already told his family last night, everyone knew that he only had one thing left to buy, so no one disturbed him the next morning. Li Xu slept until after 10 o'clock before getting up and going to the butcher shop.
When we got to the butcher shop, we saw there were even more people queuing up.
Nowadays, people only see meat a few times a year, so everyone is very happy.
There were people talking and laughing.
When Li Xu saw Uncle Fu chopping meat for someone, he walked up and called out.
Uncle Fu raised his head and saw who was coming. "Come on, I'll take you there after I finish chopping my portion."
Li Xu responded and waited by the side.
After chopping the meat, Uncle Fu asked a young man to replace him for a while.
Then he took Li Xu inside.
After greeting each other many times along the way, the two of them walked into a house.
There was someone guarding inside. Uncle Fu walked up and said a few words, then took the meat ticket from Li Xu and handed it over.
The man took it, looked at it, took out a large piece of fat, chopped it up, weighed it, then wrapped it up and handed it over.
Li Xu took it and thanked him, and then the two of them walked out.
After leaving, Li Xu said, "Thank you, Uncle Fu."
"Why are you still saying that, kid? Okay, go back. I'm busy here, so I won't talk to you anymore."
Li Xu chuckled, responded and walked back home.
Everything had been bought and Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I slept all afternoon.
In response to everyone's questions in the evening, he explained the origin of the fat.
Li Xu had a good rest that day.
The only problem was that it took me a long time to fall asleep that night...
Two more days passed.
In the past two days, Li Xu gave two fish to Liu Gang and other relatives and friends.
Today is what is commonly known as the Little New Year.
The dates of the Little New Year are different in the north and south. In the north it is on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, while in the south it is on the 24th day.
In Tang County, the 23rd is the Little New Year.
When signing in early in the morning, Li Xu was stunned.
I didn’t expect to sign out a New Year gift package on the day of Little New Year.
At that time, I almost thought I had remembered the date wrong.
After repeated confirmation, the date was indeed correct.
This made him wonder.
After thinking about it for a long time without figuring it out, Li Xu simply gave up thinking about it.
Anyway, Little New Year is still a New Year...
After opening the New Year gift package, Li Xule couldn't close his mouth.
There are not only wine, meat, sugar, and tea, but also snacks and cakes such as melon seeds and peanuts.
There are a lot of various things, but the most abundant one is meat.
There are about thirty pounds of the best fat.
This made Li Xu so happy that he stayed in bed for a long time before getting up.
I kept laughing until breakfast time.
Fortunately, everyone was very happy today, so no one asked any questions.
Everyone ate breakfast very quickly today.
Not only that, today's breakfast time is much earlier than usual.
Because the night before, Sun Xiu told everyone to get up early today.
After eating, I started to get busy.
Everyone started to clean up.
After cleaning the house, seeing that it was almost time, everyone set off for work.
The reason why I didn’t mention going to school.
Because they are on vacation...
Li Chen has been having so much fun these past two days.
Except at mealtimes, he is rarely seen at home.
After Sun Xiu and the others went to work, Li Chen hurried out to find his friends.
Li Mei helps with some housework at home.
