Du Ming and his companions had long known that Li Xu was the one who got the food.
But I never asked any further questions and always thought that Li Xu got the food from the black market, so I came to persuade him not to go there again.
The Li family would never tell the truth, so Li Xu had to use the old excuse again, saying that he knew the relationship from the car team and it was not a black market transaction.
Du Ming and others were still a little worried, fearing that Li Xu was just trying to fool them, so they continued to persuade him earnestly.
Finally, Sun Xiu told them that Li Xu was going to get something in the evening, and then asked them to come over after dinner. After all, they were not outsiders, so they could wait together and share the consequences.
Du Ming and the others nodded in agreement.
Li Xu's family did not feel at ease during this meal.
After Du Ming and his companions left, Li Qiang, Sun Yizhui, Hu Yang and others came one after another.
It’s nothing, it’s still about the deaths in the black market.
They knew that Li Xu had obtained the food from someone he knew in the car team, but they didn't know where the transaction was made, nor did they know whether the other party would dare to trade food again after this incident.
So everyone was prepared for the worst.
Sun Yizhui, Li Qiang and others said that they had some extra food at home and could ask their families to send some over, which would be enough for everyone to survive.
Hu Yang also had a bitter expression on his face, saying that the Li family had helped their family enough, and no matter what happened in the future, they would still be grateful to them from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Xu explained to everyone again, in short, everything was fine.
After hearing this, Li Qiang and others went back, and the bitter expression on Hu Yang's face completely disappeared.
After they left, Li Jiakang frowned and said, "Don't be so confident. What if it really doesn't work out?"
Li Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm sure."
In fact, he was also afraid that Sun Xiu would say those words again and ask everyone to wait together. Since there was nothing wrong in the first place, it would be better to just let them rest assured.
Seeing how confident he was, everyone stopped talking.
Not long after dinner, Du Ming and the other two came over again.
Everyone drank tea and chatted while waiting for dark.
Fortunately, it is no longer summer and it gets dark quickly.
After it got dark, Li Xu walked out with the basket and bag. Li Jiakang and the others were no longer in the mood to chat. They sipped their tea, their eyes fixed on the gate.
After Li Xu went out, he went straight to a corner not far from his home. He waited for a few minutes before putting eggs into the basket and some flour into the bag, and then walked back.
Seeing Li Xu coming back, everyone hurried out of the house.
Li Xu handed over the basket and bag, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing what was inside.
Then they all happily surrounded Li Xu and walked into the house.
Li Xu took a sip of tea before saying, "Are you all relieved now?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Everyone said in unison.
Then everyone reminded Li Xu to be more careful in the future.
Li Xu naturally agreed repeatedly.
Yang Li also sighed, "Xiao Xu, your relationship is really amazing."
Li Xu understood what she meant. It was simply that at this time, there were still people who dared to trade grain with others, so the relationship between the two parties must be very good.
So he smiled and said, "It means they trust me. By the way, Aunt Yang, you can take some eggs back later. I'm sorry for worrying you today."
Yang Li and the other two quickly waved their hands in refusal, "We're all family, there's nothing to worry about."
At this time, Sun Xiu and others also started to persuade.
In the end, Yang Li and the others accepted it.
Feeling relieved, they said goodbye.
Li Xu took out half of the eggs from the basket and then picked up the basket. "I just happened to be going to do some things, so I'll take you back."
Yang Li looked at the eggs in the basket and said quickly, "Xiao Xu, there are too many. We can just take a few."
"Aunt Yang, you're overthinking it. There's something in here that I want to give to someone. An uncle of mine is sick today, and I wanted to take some things to visit him."
Hearing him say this, Yang Li said no more.
When they arrived at Du Hong's house, Li Xu took out some more eggs before saying goodbye and leaving.
Yang Li looked at the twenty eggs left and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This kid said I was overthinking it. There weren't even thirty eggs in the basket."
Of course, Li Xu couldn't just bring a few eggs to see Uncle Xu, so he put some more into the basket on the way.
When he arrived at Uncle Xu's house, Li Xu went up and knocked on the door, and then saw a figure walking out.
The visitor quickly opened the gate when he saw Li Xu, asking, "Xiao Xu, why are you here at this time?"
"Brother Xu, I heard Uncle Xu was sick today, so I came to see him. I was delayed by something before. How is Uncle Xu? Is he seriously ill?"
Now he knows that Brother Xu’s full name is Xu Kaizhi, and the meaning of this name is naturally needless to say.
Hearing Li Xu's question, he sighed with a bitter face and said, "Go into the house and you'll know."
Li Xu was shocked and thought that Uncle Xu was seriously ill.
So he walked quickly inside, and as soon as he entered the main room, he saw that all the adults of the Xu family were sitting in the room, and Uncle Xu was holding a baby wrapped in a swaddle in his arms.
After greeting everyone, Li Xu said, "Uncle Xu, I heard you were sick. I didn't expect you were pretending. You're still hugging Sun..."
Li Xu couldn't say anything else.
Because he thought that Uncle Xu's youngest grandson was over one year old, so it was naturally impossible for him to be in a cradle.
Uncle Xu looked up and said, "Go on, this is my granddaughter."
"Ah, congratulations, I brought twenty eggs here. I originally planned to give you some to nourish your body, and now they can be used." Li Xu was stunned at first, then put the basket on the table and said embarrassedly,
"Brother Xu, look at what happened. I really didn't know that my sister-in-law had given birth. I thought Uncle Xu was sick, so I didn't prepare a red envelope."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces in the room became extremely unnatural.
Xu Kaizhi also heaved, "That's not my child, I don't want the red envelope."
"Huh?" Li Xu was a little confused. Before he could react, he heard Uncle Xu angrily scolding, "What's not your child? How about I put her under my name and make her your sister, okay?"
My goodness, what's going on? How can you do this? Li Xu was also stunned.
"No, no, no, just put it under my name, she is my daughter." Xu Kaizhi looked extremely painful.
Uncle Xu snorted coldly, "That's fine. I asked you to ask for leave this morning, but you actually asked for sick leave. I'm glad I didn't settle the score with you, but you're still talking so much nonsense."
"It's just sick leave. He's mentally ill." Xu Kaizhi muttered softly.
