After hearing this, Liu Gang pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'll talk to Lao Song when he comes to work, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."
"I think Master Song would be happy to take him in. Apart from anything else, given the current situation, where are his parents going to find him a job? He'll definitely be waiting for an opportunity in the car team like me. If I get a permanent job first, he'll definitely be next."
Li Xu has always had a good impression of Su Weidong. He is down-to-earth, hardworking, and ruthless, so he really hopes that he can get what he wants.
The two chatted until lunch time.
After dinner, Li Xu went to see Xiao Jianping and found that he had nothing to say about it.
If he thought about it carefully, it made sense. It wasn't his teacher who was injured, so it wasn't his fault. Besides, he didn't have any competitive spirit.
This made Li Xu breathe a sigh of relief and saved him a lot of trouble.
Two days passed.
A piece of news suddenly became a hot topic in the city, and people could be heard talking about it everywhere.
It was nothing else, just that the group of people who had previously robbed the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade were caught.
According to insiders, the robberies on both nights were carried out by the same group of people, who were not very old, probably in their teens or twenties.
They were from other counties, and they were all city dwellers. Because there were too many people at home, they really couldn't hold on any longer. Then these familiar people discussed taking guns from their homes and robbing people on the road, perhaps they could still have a way to survive.
Even if it doesn't work, being shot is a quick death, better than dying of starvation...
They succeeded twice, but Li Xu and his men injured too many of them and they couldn't leave, so they simply stayed where they were and fought a battle with the people who captured them.
In the end, only two people were caught alive. Needless to say, their fate was that they were directly taken to the target shooting range.
Later I heard that there was no fear on the faces of these two people when they were being shot, only relief!
...
More than twenty days passed.
During this period, Hu Guilan made new cotton-padded clothes for everyone. As originally estimated, the remaining cotton was only enough to make a small quilt and mattress for Xiao Wenbo.
Although there were some patches on the new cotton-padded jackets, it did not affect everyone's excitement at all.
This is especially true for Li Xu. This year he finally has clothes to change into. He wore that cotton-padded jacket for several months last year, and he couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
He also gave Du Hong's cotton-padded jacket to her so that she could change into it.
Master Song recovered from his injuries and returned to the motorcade. Under Liu Gang's persuasion, he formally accepted Su Weidong as his apprentice.
Master Qi from the team saw this situation and learned that Liu Gang had already accepted Li Xu. He might feel embarrassed, so he also formally accepted Xiao Jianping.
Su Weidong and the other guy have been as happy as little fools these days.
That morning, Li Xu was extremely happy after signing in.
It’s just that this year’s New Year’s Day gift package is much richer than last year’s.
There was a lot more wine, meat, and dumplings, and also some more melon seeds and peanuts.
This made Li Xu feel that it was a double blessing.
Another good news is that today is New Year’s Day and all units in the county are on holiday.
This may be the only New Year's Day holiday he can enjoy in the next few decades, so he naturally has to cherish it.
Seeing that Li Chen was sleeping soundly, Li Xu quietly took out his things, put them in the bag and walked out.
After washing up, he went to the kitchen and took out the meat and handed it to her, "Mom, let's eat dumplings today."
Of course, how can we not eat dumplings on such a happy day today?
Sun Xiu agreed without hesitation. After taking the meat, he hesitated and said, "Xiao Xu, can I cut some of this meat and send it to your grandma's house?"
Li Xu was a little amused and said, "What's the problem with this? It's for eating, so just cut it as you see fit."
Then he took out a bottle of wine and some glutinous rice balls from his bag and placed them on the chopping board. "You can send these to grandma's house as well. Although it's not much, it's enough for them to taste. I also got some sunflower seeds and peanuts this time, but there aren't many, so I won't give them to you."
Last New Year's Day, Sun Xiu did not invite Sun Yizhui and his brother to come over for dinner. It was only because he saw more meat this time that he brought up the idea. Of course, Li Xu would not refuse.
Sun Xiu originally only wanted to send some meat, but unexpectedly Li Xu gave her something else. This made her very excited, and she kept saying, "Okay, okay, that's enough. My son is still filial."
Li Xu looked at her with amusement, "Mom, was I unfilial before?"
"In Mom's heart, you've always been filial." After Sun Xiu finished speaking, she used a knife to cut two small pieces of meat, and then pointed at the larger one. "You can send this to Xiaohong's family later. I'll ask your father and your eldest brother to send the one to your grandma's family later."
Li Xu shook his head. "There aren't many people in Du Hong's family, so just give the smaller piece. Ask Dad to stop by my cousin's place later. If they haven't returned yet, tell them to come to our house for dinner tonight. Also tell Brother Qiang."
He didn't know whether Sun Yizhuo and his brothers had returned, but he knew that Li Qiang and the others definitely hadn't returned.
It's not just because the children are still young, but also because Li Jiafu told them when he came before that they should not go back even for the Chinese New Year this year, and should go back when the disaster is over.
Even Li Xu's family would not go to Li Jiafu's place until the disaster was over, including during the Chinese New Year period.
"OK."
After responding, Sun Xiu found a bag and put the things he wanted to give to Old Mrs. Sun into it.
Li Xu also packed up the things he wanted to send to Du Hong's family, and gave the rest to Sun Xiu. Then he stood at the kitchen door, eating melon seeds and peanuts while talking to her.
While eating, I heard a voice behind me, "Xiao Xu, what are you doing at the kitchen door?"
Li Xu turned his head and was also a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, didn't Mom tell you to have a good rest today? Why are you up now?"
Since it was a holiday today, Sun Xiu said that she couldn't sleep at a certain time, so she offered to make breakfast so that Hu Guilan could have a rest.
Hu Guilan smiled and said, "I couldn't sleep either, so I thought of getting up and helping Mom with the work."
After hearing her explanation, Li Xu nodded and said, "You are in for a treat. I just made some peanuts and sunflower seeds. The number is not much. Let's eat them first. If they get up too late, they can't eat."
Hu Guilan knew he was joking, so she laughed twice and went to the side to wash up.
Then he went to the kitchen and worked while eating like Sun Xiu, and the three of them chatted.
Later, other people also got up one after another. When they learned that there were snacks, they stood at the kitchen door like Li Xu, eating and chatting.
