Li Xu had nothing to do in the next few days.
During this time, the other lounge chair that was hit was also retrieved.
Li Xu and his friends would lie down for a while after get off work every day, especially after dinner.
I feel that the fatigue of the day will be reduced a lot.
If it didn't feel too luxurious, Li Xu would have wanted to buy two more.
Otherwise, several people would have to take turns using it...
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
On this day, Li Xu signed in and gave out a few mooncakes just like he did last year.
In the afternoon, Hu Guilan made two more pots of egg cakes.
One pot was kept for home, and the other pot was sent to Du Hong's house after Li Xu got off work. He also brought two mooncakes so that they could taste it.
There was nothing special about the food at Li Xu's house in the evening. It was pretty much the same as usual, except that there were some salted eggs on the table.
This was also because Sun Xiu saw that Li Xu brought back a lot of eggs, so he made pickled eggs out of some of them, and Li Xu also took out some white wine for this.
I just marinated them these past two days, and today is the holiday so I just took out a few of them. When I cut them open, the yolks were oily.
Li Xu took a bite and nodded, "Mom, this pickled egg is really good, not too salty or too bland, the taste is just right."
Others also praised it.
"As long as it tastes good, I haven't made it in several years. I was also worried that the ingredients would be wasted." Sun Xiu also smiled happily.
Then everyone had dinner.
After dinner, everyone served the cut mooncakes and egg cakes, and then ate and chatted in the house.
Sun Xiu glanced at everyone and sighed, "It would be great if Xiaomei was here too. Last year at this time, everyone was still admiring the moon in the yard."
"Mom, Xiaomei has only been in college for a few years. There will be plenty of time when she comes back. Besides, even if she is at home, the sky is overcast tonight and no one can see the moon." Li Ping said.
Everyone laughed at this remark. Sun Xiu also said with a smile, "You're right. There's still a long way to go."
Although two mooncakes were given to Du Hong's family, the remaining ones were enough for Li Xu's family.
Nothing else, everyone still has egg cake to eat.
Li Xu's family still spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in laughter and joy.
But it was not the same for others. The next day, Li Xu heard many people say that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was boring.
Many families didn’t even get to taste the mooncakes.
Someone asked Li Xu how he was doing, and Li Xu pretended to be sad and said he was not doing well.
The person who asked the question seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and then left contentedly.
After everyone left, Li Xu and Liu Gang got into the driver's seat. Liu Gang laughed non-stop, "You really are a good fool."
He didn't believe that Li Xu would have a bad life. Even if he didn't have mooncakes to eat, there wouldn't be many families that could compare to theirs.
Li Xu spread his hands and said, "What can I do? Should I just say I'm doing great? That would make people hate me. If they want to hear that, I'll definitely agree with them."
"Not bad, you have made progress. You may not be good at other things at this time, but you must learn to hide your shortcomings, especially in your situation." Liu Gang nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, I understand this. How was your day yesterday?"
"No difference from usual, except I ate a few more mooncakes."
"That's not bad, many people still don't have anything to eat."
Liu Gang said "hmm" and didn't ask Li Xu what he ate. Instead, he changed the subject and started talking about gossip.
After dinner, Li Xu went to Du Hong's house again and started chatting with everyone.
As they chatted, he asked Xiang Dusen, "The egg cake was pretty good yesterday, right?"
Du Sen licked his lips and said, "It was delicious, but I didn't eat much."
Li Xu was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Yang Li started to explain, "Yesterday when we were eating cake, his eldest sister Du Qing and her family came over."
At this point, Li Xu understood. Since Du Qing and the others came and saw them, some of the egg cake must be shared with them, so Du Sen couldn't eat much.
"My elder sister and the others are so annoying. Not only do they eat a lot, but they also keep asking where the egg cakes come from. I don't want to pay any attention to them." Du Sen still looked unhappy.
"It's a good thing you ignored them yesterday, otherwise everyone would be afraid you would let the cat out of the bag." Du Hong said quickly, and then explained to Li Xu, "My mom said yesterday that she was lucky enough to buy a few eggs at the black market the night before yesterday, and she made an egg cake for the holiday."
Du Feng and the others also echoed, "Xiao Xu, don't worry, we will never let them know about this."
Apart from anything else, at least Du Ming's family felt that Du Qing was no longer on the same page with them, so they must not be allowed to know about this.
Li Xu also knew that they were busy explaining because they were afraid that he would have a grudge, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Du, it's okay. Don't you think you can let me, your future son-in-law, show some respect to you during this important festival?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
But joking aside, after the laughter, Du Ming warned Du Sen, "You may be a bit stupid, but remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the origins of our things, especially to your eldest sister's family. If you dare to say a word, you will starve to death."
Du Sen patted his chest and said, "Dad, you told me already, and I'm a straightforward person, not stupid. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Li Xu still believes it. "I believe Xiao Sen. Apart from anything else, he has basically never missed a chance to play with my little sister since he promised me. Last time, he insisted on going even though he was limping."
Yang Li said, "This kid doesn't have many good qualities. His greatest strength is that he keeps his word. He's trustworthy in that respect. But I'm afraid this fool will tell anyone anything after being tricked. That's why I have to remind him so many times."
Even Du Hong and the others agreed with this, and Du Feng also said that he would take good care of Du Sen.
Li Xu felt more relieved now. "Actually, Xiao Sen doesn't have much contact with outsiders right now. Apart from coming to our house, he usually stays at home. Even if he wants to talk, there's not much chance."
Although he didn't know why the Du Ming family seemed to have a grudge against Du Qing, he knew that anyone who was not trusted by the Du Ming family was definitely not worthy of his trust.
So I became a little wary of Du Qing.
Du Ming and the others looked at each other and said nothing more.
They knew that Li Xu was right, but what they were most worried about was Du Qing's family. They even thought that they came over last night just to see what their family was eating.
Otherwise, why would anyone go to someone else's house on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival? What's more, it was cloudy last night and it could rain at any time. Who would go out in this situation?
The few of them chatted about other things before Li Xu returned home.
