Hu Guilan also thought it was quite similar to steamed buns and said that she could just leave it to her in the evening.
Li Xu nodded with relief.
Putting aside other things, at least I can’t compare to Hu Guilan and the others in cooking experience.
While having breakfast, Li Xu suddenly felt that something was wrong with Li Ju.
After looking for a while, I realized that her eyes were even more swollen than yesterday.
Li Xu hesitated and asked, "Mom, do you think my little sister's eyes seem to be more swollen?"
"Huh?" Everyone else was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Ju's face.
Only Sun Xiu sighed, "The child cried again in the middle of the night yesterday."
Everyone: ...
Li Ju was also a little embarrassed by the look, and stammered, "I just missed my elder sister, and I couldn't help it."
"Little sister, there are so many people at home with you, don't miss your elder sister." Li Ping also persuaded, "Third brother, your task today is to play with little sister, do you hear me?"
In fact, everyone knows that missing someone is something that cannot be controlled, so Li Ping continued to let Li Chen play with her, and when she was tired and went to sleep, she would not think so much.
Li Ju obediently said "hmm".
Li Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, do you have any reward for this task?"
Li Ping was stunned by these words. After realizing what was happening, he said coldly, "What? Big Brother's words don't work anymore? If you don't get this done, believe it or not, you won't get the reward your second brother is going to give you tonight."
Li Chen looked at Li Xu beside him again.
"Don't look at me. I wouldn't dare give it to you if Big Brother didn't agree."
Li Xu also spread his hands. He didn't expect that this kid would dare to bargain with Li Ping after tasting the benefits.
Hearing this, Li Chen nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I will definitely have fun with my little sister."
Before Li Ping could say anything, Sun Xiu scolded him, "How dare you give rewards to your family members so easily? Don't you feel bad for your sister? I'm telling you, don't be reluctant. If you make your little sister cry again, not only will your brothers and others beat you, but your father and I will also beat you. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely play with my little sister well." Li Chen's face changed and he said quickly.
Li Ping stared at Li Chen for a while before nodding.
To be honest, Li Xu was afraid that Li Chen's reluctant tone would provoke Li Ping to take action...
No matter what kind of family it is, it is impossible to treat children fairly, especially in this day and age.
Li Ju was already loved by her family, and now she is in this state, which really makes everyone feel distressed.
Li Chen, the older brother, only plays by himself every day. He only coaxes Li Ju when Li Xu uses rewards as an inducement. After getting the rewards, he doesn't want to play with Li Ju anymore, and even dares to bargain with Li Ping. He has no intention of caring for his sister at all.
This made Sun Xiu a little unbearable, so he scolded him.
After getting off work in the afternoon, the first thing Li Xu did when he got home was to ask Li Ju if she had cried today.
Li Ju smiled and said, "Second brother, Third brother and Brother Du Sen are playing with me today. I am so happy."
"That's fine. I'll bring you a toy tomorrow." Li Xu nodded in satisfaction, then said to Li Chen, "You did a good job today. A brother should act like a brother. You play every day. Why wouldn't you be reluctant to play with your little sister for a few days? I'm already this old, don't I play with my little sister every day after get off work?"
Li Chen was silent for a long time before humming, "I just want to know when I can get the reward."
He looked like he didn't know if he heard it or not.
Li Xu thought again, it doesn't matter whether he listens or not, as long as he is willing to do it, then he also replied, "I'll give it to you in the evening."
Li Ju tugged at Li Xu's sleeve and asked, "Second brother, what toy are you going to get me?"
He reached out and picked her up, "Spinning top, do you like it?"
Li Ju nodded repeatedly, "I like it, I like it very much, thank you, second brother." Then she kissed Li Xu again.
Li Xu also grinned, thinking that he would be so happy if he could have a daughter like this in the future.
Which man doesn’t want to have a well-behaved and sensible little girl?
Li Chen, who pricked up his ears, also hurriedly said, "Second brother, is there anything for me?"
"What's yours?"
"A spinning top."
Li Xu looked at his anxious expression and slowly shook his head. "No, I just called one for my younger sister. Besides, school starts in two days. Do you still have the time to play this?"
Li Chen had a disappointed expression on his face, "I thought we could have fun even after school started."
"That's what you think, not what I think."
Li Xu glanced at the lost Li Chen, thinking that if he had simply agreed this morning, maybe he would have gotten one for him.
After Li Ping and Sun Xiu came back, they were the first to ask about Li Ju's situation.
Knowing that she was very happy today, the two were also very satisfied.
Sun Xiu also praised Li Chen.
Li Chen was still feeling depressed, so he didn't say anything.
Sun Xiu looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? You're not happy even when I praise you?"
"Mom, don't worry about him. I made a spinning top for my little sister, not for him, and he's not happy about it."
Sun Xiu was stunned. "A spinning top? That thing is hard to whip."
"It's okay. I have a piece of clothing with a lot of patches, so I used it to make a whip." Li Xu smiled.
"You naughty kid, you always waste things. So what if there are a few patches on it? Whose clothes don't have patches?" Sun Xiu was both distressed and angry.
Li Ping tried to persuade her, "Mom, don't be angry. Let's not talk about Xiaoxu. I don't even want to wear clothes with so many patches. Besides, we have a lot of quilt covers from before. The cotton fabric is still good. We can just use it to make him two more clothes."
"Yes, Mom, that's a lot of quilt covers, enough to make a few clothes." Hearing Li Ping speaking for him, Li Xu also echoed.
"Is it a question of whether it's a lot or not? It's you who's wasting things."
"Don't be angry. He has already done it. There is no point in getting angry now." Li Ping said again.
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiu felt that it made perfect sense, and then he stepped forward and slapped Li Xu twice, "You naughty boy, you've really grown wings. I'm telling you, don't do this again in the future."
Li Xu didn't feel any pain, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't do this again in the future."
Even though Li Xu brought back a lot of cloth, Sun Xiu still couldn't bear to use the clothes to make toys. If she wanted to give it to someone else, she would be willing to do so, after all, the nature of the two is different.
After dinner, Li Ping and Li Xu stayed in the house watching over Wen Bo and the others, while Hu Guilan and the others went to the kitchen to busy themselves.
Sun Xiu and Hu Guilan experimented several times before they finally made the sweet and delicious egg cake.
As for those that failed earlier, no one wasted them and ate them all.
Fortunately, the cake used in the experiment was quite small, so everyone could finish it easily.
