When they returned, they were much faster.
But even so, everyone in the Li family had finished dinner when they got home.
The two ate the food that was prepared at home. As they ate, Li Xu said, "Thank goodness we have bicycles now. Otherwise, it would take us forever to walk to the city train station."
"It's true. The distance is not short. The car has been through a lot of trouble today." Li Ping also said, with a look of heartache in his words.
"Just wipe the car tomorrow. It's a gift for your sister. Why feel bad about it?" Sun Xiu said unhappily.
Li Ping waved his hands repeatedly, "Mom, I'm just saying it. Not to mention that it's just some paint peeling off, I wouldn't feel bad even if the bike broke down today."
"Huh?" Sun Xiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "The paint on the car is peeling? How did it happen?"
"I accidentally fell on the road and the paint on the car was chipped off."
After hearing this, Sun Xiu hurried out to check the car. After a while, she came back and said with a distressed look on her face, "How could you be so careless, kid?"
Li Xu grinned and laughed, "Mom, didn't you just tell my brother not to feel bad? Why are you feeling bad again?"
"I didn't know the car's paint was chipped. I thought it was just dirty."
It’s not that Sun Xiu is stingy, but people nowadays are used to being meticulous in everything they use, so it’s inevitable that they feel a little distressed when they see this situation.
"It's okay, it's just a small piece, it won't cause any problem." Now it was Li Ping's turn to persuade her.
After the heartache subsided, Sun Xiu came to terms with it and said, "Forget it, it's your sister who fell anyway. As long as she's okay, that's good."
After saying that, he picked up the cloth and started sewing.
After finishing the meal, Li Xu cleared the dishes and picked up Li Ju again, "Come, let your second brother see."
As a result, he was stunned when he saw it. "Little sister, why are your eyes swollen? Did your third brother bully you again? I'm going to settle the score with him and help you vent your anger."
I didn't notice it when I just came back. I thought she was sitting there quietly, but now I see that her eyes are swollen.
Li Chen on the side waved his hands repeatedly, "Second brother, please don't wrongly accuse me, how dare I bully her now."
Hu Guilan also said, "This really has nothing to do with Xiaochen. Xiaoju cried for a long time today. No matter how I tried to comfort her, it didn't work. In the end, her eyes were swollen from crying."
Hearing this, Li Xu felt a little distressed. "Little sister, why are you crying? Big sister will be back in a few months. Do you want some candy? Or milk powder? Big brother will get it for you."
In fact, he also knew that Li Ju and Li Mei had a very good relationship, but he didn't expect her to cry like this.
Li Ju shook her head and lay on Li Xu's neck without saying a word.
"Come here, little sister, let big brother take a look." Li Ping also took it to Li Ju.
Li Ping and the other man coaxed Li Ju for a long time, but Li Ju didn't say a word.
"Mom, what should I do with my younger sister?" Li Xu looked at Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu stopped sewing and sighed again, "I'll sleep with Xiaoju these days. Maybe she'll be better in a couple of days."
Li Xu thought about it and realized that this was the only way. "Third brother, if Du Sen comes tomorrow, you two should stop playing. I will give you a task. If you complete it well, I will give you a reward."
Li Chen became excited when he heard this, "Second brother, is the reward big?"
"Can the reward I offer be small? As long as you can complete the task."
Li Chen felt that this statement was extremely credible and said with a grin, "Second brother, what is the mission?"
"Just coax my little sister."
Li Chen patted his chest and said, "Second brother, just wait and see tomorrow."
"Then I'll just have to wait and see."
Li Ping and the others also shook their heads and laughed, thinking that Li Xu really doted on Li Ju.
They thought they would just have to wait a few days, but they didn't expect Li Xu to offer a reward specifically for someone to coax her.
The next morning when he went to work, Li Xu asked Uncle Xu, "Uncle Xu, do you know where to find a carpenter in the city?"
"You want to hit the furniture?"
"No, my eldest sister went to college yesterday, and my youngest sister's eyes were swollen from crying. I thought of giving her a spinning top to play with. Children who have fun don't have time to think about anything else."
When Li Xu woke up in the morning and saw that Li Ju still had a gloomy face, he suddenly thought of getting her a toy to divert her attention.
I couldn't help but think that things would be much simpler in the future. I could just play some cartoons for her or let her ride in a rocking car for a while.
Uncle Xu touched his chin. "The spinning top is simple, but the whip is a little more difficult. It's either made of animal fur or cloth, and these things are very valuable nowadays."
"Oh, you know this?"
Uncle Xu glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Go out and ask around. How many people don't understand?"
"I can get some rags here, but it's hard to get wood."
There was a lot of rags at home, but wood was a bit of a problem for him.
You can't just cut down the big trees on both sides of the road, right?
"All you need is the cloth. Don't worry about the wood. I'll take you there when the time comes."
Li Xu nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Xu. I'll go to work first."
"You kid, go quickly." Uncle Xu smiled.
As soon as I arrived at the motorcade, I heard Liu Gang's voice, "Did you send your elder sister off?"
"Yes, I sent it away yesterday."
"If it were previous years, your eldest sister and the others would have taken our bus. Unfortunately, we're too idle this year to do anything, and we can't make many trips a month."
Li Xu grinned, "Uncle Liu, it was also good that we went there by bike yesterday."
Apart from being a little tired, there's really nothing else to it.
"That's fine. If we can catch up next time, I'll let your sister ride in our car."
Li Xu thought about it and asked, "Does it cost money?"
"Don't do that, kid." Liu Gang said unhappily.
Li Xu chuckled and said, "It's OK if it doesn't require money."
Liu Gang looked around again, then whispered, "Do you want to become a regular employee?"
"Huh?" Li Xu was stunned. "Uncle Liu, it hasn't even been a year since I started working here, and there aren't any spare vehicles in the fleet."
"Are you stupid? If you don't have it now, how can you have it in the future?"
"Then what can you do? Even if there were a vacant vehicle, Xiao Jianping and the other two would definitely be considered first."
It's simple, they are direct descendants of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I know, but now I have a chance. Guess who I saw in the black market last night?"
"who?"
"Director."
"Uncle Liu, are you sure you're making a mistake?"
Liu Gang waved his hand. "How could I mistake her for someone so big and strong? Even though her face was covered, I recognized her immediately. Then I followed her for a while, and she actually went to exchange for food. Isn't this your chance?"
Li Xu's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard this. "Is this true? Could she be short of food?"
If Li Xu said she was going to exchange things, he would definitely believe it, but he really didn't believe it.
