Li Jiakang understood in his heart, and he wanted to go along with it, but when he saw Li Xu smiling at him, he suddenly became tough again, "Just like we said last time, I'll go alone."
Now I am satisfied!
Li Xu was secretly happy in his heart, it was your fault for saying that just now and making everyone laugh at me.
He knew that Li Jiakang still cared a lot about what he said, especially in front of the children.
Therefore, as long as I give him a slight hint, Li Jiakang will definitely not be able to bear the provocation and will definitely continue to be stubborn.
And things turned out just as he expected.
Hearing Li Jiakang's words, Sun Xiu immediately became unhappy. "You're already an adult, why are you still being so stubborn? Give me a way out, why don't you step aside? This road is so dangerous. We are not worried about you, but Xiaomei."
"I..."
Li Jiakang, who had just said a word, was interrupted by Li Ping again, "Yeah, Dad, it's already this time. Why are you still showing off? Have you forgotten what happened to Xiaoxu and the others a few days ago?"
Even Hu Guilan, who was standing by, stepped forward to persuade him, "Dad, when the time comes, let the two brothers take leave to accompany you. That way we can feel more at ease."
Li Jiakang's already dark face instantly turned dark purple, but he couldn't say anything. After all, those people were really doing it for his own good, so he just stared at Li Xu.
Li Xu also pretended to be innocent, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't provoke you."
At this point, he pretended to have suddenly realized something and said, "Are you asking for my opinion? Of course I don't agree with you going alone. It's too dangerous on the road right now. Don't worry, if I can get some time off, I will definitely go with you."
This made Li Jiakang very angry, but he was speechless.
Although he felt that the little bastard had done it on purpose, he had no evidence. After all, he hadn't said a word.
Seeing him like this, Sun Xiu said, "Why are you looking at him like that? Xiao Xu is right. The motorcade will definitely be busy at the end of the year. If they really can't take time off, then there's nothing they can do. Besides, the kids have said so, so why don't you express your opinion?"
"Since you all said so, what else can I say? Eat."
Li Jiakang threw out a few words and immediately buried his head in eating.
"Hey, you have such a bad temper. Why are you coming so suddenly?" Sun Xiu said angrily. Then he looked at the Li Xu brothers and said, "Let me put it this way first. If there is no problem, you two can take leave and go together. If Xiao Xu can't go, we can discuss it then."
Li Ping and the other man nodded in agreement, then buried their heads in eating.
After dinner, Li Xu saw that Li Jiakang was still angry, so he hugged little Wenbo and said, "Why are you so angry about such a small thing? Hug your eldest grandson, otherwise he will not be able to call you aunt but grandpa."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang no longer cared about being angry. He glared at Li Xu and took the child over to play with him, constantly teaching him to call him "Grandpa".
Seeing that he no longer looked angry, Li Xu sat down at the table, took out a piece of letter paper and started writing.
The letter contained trivial matters at home and greetings to Li Mei. After writing it, he put it away and started chatting with other people.
The next morning, Li Xu also slept until he woke up naturally. After washing up, he went to the post office to mail the letter.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang ran over while they were having lunch at noon, and started touching Li Xu as soon as he entered the door.
Li Xu almost couldn't help but throw the bowl in his hand...
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Qiang, what are you doing?" Li Xu blocked his hand and asked hurriedly.
Li Qiang ignored him and only breathed a sigh of relief after roughly feeling around. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and then began to explain, "Just now, when I was taking a break at the factory, I heard someone say that someone in the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade was shot while transporting goods a few days ago, so I came to take a look."
Li Xu finally understood. Although he felt warm in his heart, he was also at a loss for words. "Don't be so nervous. I'm fine now. It was my colleague who was injured, but it wasn't serious."
Li Qiang waved his hand. "I was worried because I heard the injury wasn't serious. I was afraid that my uncle and aunt were hiding something from us."
Li Xu and Hu Guilan looked at him speechlessly.
It’s no wonder that Li Qiang really knows Li Jiakang and his wife well.
Seeing that he was fine, Li Qiang went back to work.
Hu Guilan quickly said, "Xiao Qiang, now that you're here, why don't you have a meal at home?"
"I don't want to eat anymore. I have to start work soon." Li Qiang refused directly.
Li Xu and the other man had no choice but to send him out.
Hu Guilan, who had picked up her bowl again, said, "Xiao Xu, the news about your car team has spread."
Li Xu sighed, "Yeah, I guess my cousins will come to see if I'm the one who was injured after hearing about it."
Hu Guilan immediately laughed, "They know our parents too well. As long as they hear that the injury is not serious, they will definitely come to confirm it."
It has to be said that Li Xu and the others’ guesses were very correct.
While having dinner in the evening, I saw the Sun Yizhu brothers running over. They were also relieved to learn that the injured person was not Li Xu.
In addition to them, there was another person who came that Li Xu did not expect.
That's his best friend paying it forward.
When Li Xu opened the door and saw him, he was stunned for a moment, because Fu Qing looked very listless and his complexion was much darker than before. "Old Fu, what's wrong with you? How did you become like this in such a short time?"
Fu Qing looked exhausted. "Let me talk about you first. I just heard my dad tell me someone was injured at your place, so I hurried over to check on you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. The one who was injured was my colleague. Let's go inside and sit for a while."
"No need to sit anymore. As long as you're okay, I'll go back first." Fu Qing said and was about to turn around and go home.
"Why are you replying? I'm afraid you'll die on the road if you're like this. Come inside and have a glass of sugar water first."
Regardless of his refusal, Li Xu pulled him in directly.
Li Jiakang and the others were stunned when they saw Fu Qing, and they couldn't remember who the person who greeted them was for a long time.
Finally, Sun Xiu said hesitantly, "Are you Fu Qing that kid?"
"Aunt, you still remember me." Fu Qing gave a forced smile, but did not explain.
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard him admit it.
As Li Xu's former friends, how could they not know him?
The main reason was that Fu Qing's current appearance was very different from what they had seen him before, so they couldn't recognize him for a while.
"Well, how could I not remember you? I'm just a little unsure seeing you like this."
Seeing that Sun Xiu wanted to ask more about the situation, Li Xu quickly interrupted and said, "Mom, I'll take him back to my room to talk."
After he finished speaking, he quickly poured a glass of sugar water and dragged Fu Qing back to his room. Li Xu sat on the bed and said unhappily, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Fu Qing had an indescribable expression on his face, "Can you not tell me?"
Seeing him like this, Li Xu knew that he had guessed wrong. This kind of expression would only appear when Fu Qing felt embarrassed.
