Chapter 167 Lounge Chair



After receiving the money, Lao Yang said, "I'll go out and find you a cart, otherwise it will be difficult to get this thing back."

"Let me try it first." After saying that, Li Xu lifted up the recliner.

After feeling the weight, Li Xu put it down again and said awkwardly, "Uncle Yang, could you please find a cart for me?"

Old Yang responded with a smile and then walked out the door.

Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, Wow, he originally thought that this thing didn't look very big, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy. It was okay to lift it up and walk a few steps, but it would be impossible to walk more than that.

Not long after, Lao Yang walked in with a haggard-looking man.

The man lifted the recliner and walked out without saying a word. Seeing this, Li Xu hurried forward to help lift it.

After putting the recliner on the cart, Li Xu said something to Lao Yang and left.

When they arrived at the door, the two of them moved the recliner down again.

The man spoke first, and said in a hoarse voice, "One dime."

Li Xu was stunned, thinking to himself, didn't Li Jiakang say that those who pull carts need food when he delivered furniture to Sun Min last time?

Although he thought so in his heart, his hands did not stop moving. He took out a dime from his pocket and handed it over.

Then he asked, "Master, how much would it cost if I transported some things to Qinghe Brigade?"

"I don't want money, I want food."

"Then how do you want the money this time?"

"The city is close, and you don't have much, so we ask for money; the country is far away, so we can only ask for food."

At this point, he forced a smile on his face. "If you need work in the countryside, you can come to me. My name is Lao Yu, and I usually work at Beijiekou."

Li Xu understood now and nodded, "Okay, if there is such a job, I will definitely find you."

After getting the response, Lao Yu nodded and pulled the cart away.

Looking at his receding figure, Li Xu thought of the last time when it took several carts to buy two kilograms of coarse grains, and couldn't help but sigh.

It took a long time before he pushed open the gate, and then moved the recliner in under the curious gazes of several people in the yard.

Hu Guilan quickly put down her work and walked over to him, surprised, "Xiao Xu, why did you bring back a recliner?"

While saying this, he also offered to help move.

Li Xu quickly stopped her and said, "I feel that the stool is not comfortable to sit on. I just bought it. Sister-in-law, you don't have to help me. I can do it myself."

Even though he said that, Hu Guilan still helped lift it and called out, "Xiaoju, come and close the gate."

Li Ju responded and ran to close the door.

The two of them moved the lounge chair under the eaves, then Li Xu filled half a basin with water and found a rag to start wiping.

After wiping himself, before he lay down, Du Sen came over and said, "Brother-in-law, can I lie down for a while?"

Li Xu said with a smile, "Okay, lie down."

Hearing the answer, Du Sen excitedly lay down on it. After lying there for a while, he said, "It's not comfortable. I might as well sleep on the bed."

Li Xu said angrily, "You know nothing. If you feel uncomfortable, get up quickly."

After answering, Du Sen came down and said to the curious Li Ju, "Sister Xiaoju, you try it too. It's not uncomfortable at all."

Li Ju said "hmm" and lay down on it.

Li Xu was instantly happy when she lay down. Her small body was not even as long as the chair. "Little sister, are you comfortable?"

Li Ju twisted a few times before she said crisply, "It's uncomfortable, a little bit painful."

Hu Guilan, who was standing by, also burst out laughing. "This is for adults to lie down. Children will definitely feel uncomfortable. Hurry up and get down. Let your second brother lie down for a while."

After Li Ju came down, Li Xu went into the house again, poured a cup of tea and placed it on a stool beside him, then lay down happily.

Li Ju was still young so she felt a little uncomfortable, but he thought it was just right.

So I just lay there the whole afternoon, squinting my eyes and watching Li Ju and the other one playing, taking a sip of tea from time to time, feeling very comfortable.

This was the scene that Sun Xiu and others saw after get off work. The difference was that Li Xu had a little baby on her belly and was looking very happy.

"Where did we get the recliner?" Sun Xiu asked.

"I bought it. Someone used it for themselves. I bought it back and then got a new one. It will take a few days to heal. You can try it and see if it's comfortable." After saying that, Li Xu stood up holding Wen Bo.

Sun Xiu lay down and felt it for a while. "It's really comfortable. It must have cost a lot of money."

“It didn’t cost much.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Sun Xiu did not ask any more questions, "Come on, feel it too."

After trying it, Li Ping and the other person both said it was comfortable.

After Li Jiakang lay down, he couldn't get up and took Wen Bo over with him.

"Xiao Xu, you really know how to enjoy things. Most people can't afford to buy this." Li Ping said with emotion.

"What kind of enjoyment is this? There's really not much money." Li Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Li Jiakang said while teasing the child, "Xiu'er, give him 50 yuan later, and treat this thing as something bought at home."

"Okay." Sun Xiu agreed without hesitation.

"Dad, Mom, I bought this myself, I don't want your money."

He bought the recliner for himself, and the other one was for his family. How could he let them pay for it? Besides, the two chairs together cost less than 50 yuan...

Recliners have a small audience and the requirements for wood are not high, so their price is far lower than that of furniture such as wooden cabinets.

Li Jiakang waved his hand and said, "You have many places to spend money. We don't ask how much you spent this time. We will give you 50 yuan. If there is more, you can take it. If there is less, you will also bear it."

Li Ping and the other two also followed suit to persuade them.

In the end, Li Xu had no choice but to agree, and then jokingly said, "This deal is good. I can actually make a few dollars from it. Dad, next time I buy something, can you reimburse me?"

Before Li Jiakang could say anything, Sun Xiu spoke up, "Sure, as long as it's useful to our family, we'll reimburse you."

Li Xu: ...

He was just joking, but he didn't expect Sun Xiu to actually agree.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Li Ping also laughed, "Xiao Xu, our mother has spoken, now you can rest assured."

Li Xu suddenly realized that they were trying to compensate him. "In this situation, even if they want me to spend as much money as possible, I can't spend much."

"Hahaha." Several people laughed.

After dinner, Li Xu went to Du Hong's house again.

I haven't seen you for several days and I miss you a lot.

"Xiao Xu is here, come and sit down. Xiao Feng said you were back, so I guess you would come over in the evening." Yang Li smiled when she saw Li Xu.

Du Ming and the others also greeted them.

"I missed you guys, so I came to see you after dinner." Li Xu also scratched his head.

"I think you are not thinking about us, but about Xiaohong." Du Feng said with a grin.
