They thought Li Xu would bring back more, but they didn't expect it to be so much.
Although they were a little confused, no one asked any questions.
Looking at so many eggs, Sun Xiu hesitated and said, "We've eaten so many today. Let's eat less in the next few days and pickle the rest. What do you think?"
Li Jiakang and others all agreed.
But Li Xu didn't. "Mom, please leave some more. We'll have egg cake tomorrow night. I want to try what egg cake made with double the amount of eggs tastes like."
After hearing Li Xu's request, everyone didn't know what to say.
Sun Xiu looked at him speechlessly. "Just now I told you not to do this again, but you didn't listen at all. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you as before, okay?"
Li Xu smiled shyly, "No, Mom, just this once. I won't do it again."
Sun Xiu thought about it before nodding and agreeing, "Okay, just this once. You're going to Xiaohong's place, right? Go ahead. I won't need your help with the pickled eggs next time."
"Thank you, Mom." Li Xu was very excited. He didn't expect Sun Xiu to agree so readily. Then he asked, "Do you really not need my help?"
"No, just go ahead."
At this moment, Sun Xiu looked like he wanted to drive him away quickly.
But Li Xu didn't think much about it. He responded and walked towards Du Hong's house.
After he left, Li Jiakang asked, "Are you really going to do as this guy said and put in double the eggs?"
Li Ping, who was standing by, laughed. "How could he do this when his mother had already chased him away?"
Sun Xiu nodded in agreement, then said unhappily, "He's so beautiful, he doesn't know how to waste two things. He used nearly 20 eggs for tonight's meal. It makes me sad just thinking about it. Besides, the egg cakes I made before tasted pretty good. I'll make them as usual tomorrow and pickle the rest.
He loves salted eggs, so let him eat more. One is enough for him to have a meal, and it tastes much better than putting it in egg cake."
Then he thought again, "You should remind him more often in the future to use it normally. Why waste it? He can get a lot of good things now, but if he makes it a habit and starts eating them, what will happen if the supply runs out one day?"
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Everyone understands this principle, so they all agree to it.
Li Jiakang sighed, "This kid is quite capable now. If he had dared to say that before, I would have slapped him twice. It's a pity that now, if I say a few harsh words to him, someone will stop me."
After saying that, he looked at Li Ping and the others.
Sun Xiu retorted, "Think about who got the food you're eating, and who got the wine you're drinking. Without Xiaoxu, how would our family survive? Don't you have any idea?
Besides, he is just a little unstable now, so it's normal for him to want to squander some of the extra things he gets. But in other aspects, he always thinks of us. What else can we say about such a good son?
We just need to remind him more in the future and prevent him from going astray. Xiaoxu is sensible and will understand after a few words."
"Mom is right, Dad, don't scold Xiaoxu for no reason. Talk to him nicely and he will understand." Li Ping also agreed.
They two could say such things, but Hu Guilan couldn't, but she also nodded in agreement.
Li Jiakang's face darkened, and then he became sarcastic, "How dare I scold him now? He didn't scold me, which is good enough. Other families all have one eldest son, but mine is better off with two."
"Just treat them as twins I gave birth to." Sun Xiu glared at him, then looked at Li Ping and his wife who were trying not to laugh. "Stop laughing, both of you. Go get the food. Let's pickle the eggs."
The Li family had pickled eggs before, so they had all the ingredients ready.
It didn't take long before the eggs were put into the jar. Just wait a little longer and you can eat the juicy salted eggs.
The next day, Li Xu signed in again and delivered 30 kilograms of rice.
This made him feel that he had indeed evolved.
Come to the car team with the picture books prepared in advance.
Liu Gang was still a little dissatisfied, "Why did you only bring so little? You'll finish it in a short while. What are we going to do after you finish it?"
A few picture books may sound like a lot, but in fact they can be finished in a short time.
"I can't bring all the boxes here, can I?" Li Xu understood, but it would be inconvenient to carry so many, so he only took these. "Let's read slowly and take a break after reading a little. The day will pass quickly. Besides, if you don't know how to play chess, it would be great if we could play chess like Su Weidong and his apprentice."
Liu Gang: ...
"It's not that I don't know how to play, it's that I don't like playing, especially with you."
"Come on, you don't even know how a horse should ride, how can you be called a rider?" Li Xu looked at him with contempt.
They had played together once before, and Liu Gang never played with him again after that.
Well, it was mainly because of what Li Xu said that he was a little annoyed and felt insulted...
"Go aside and read a book."
Liu Gang's scars were exposed, and he was so angry that he picked up a book and pretended to read it.
Li Xu was delighted to see this and also started watching with great interest.
night.
Li Xu chewed the egg cake made with "double eggs" and frowned slightly.
"That shouldn't be the case. Why does it taste the same as before?"
"You kid, even if you add more eggs, it's still an egg cake. How can the taste be different? Just tell me if it tastes good or not?" Sun Xiu also held a small piece in his hand, but didn't eat a single bite.
“It tastes good, but it didn’t meet my expectations.”
Li Ping quickly said, "This is made according to your request. If you think it tastes the same as before, then those extra eggs we put in today were wasted. Xiaoxu, you can't do this again in the future. You have to be frugal in your life. If you do this every time, how many eggs will you waste?"
"Your eldest brother is right. Okay, don't frown. This piece in my hand is still untouched. You can take it and eat it. Eat more this time. Next time we will do it the same way as before."
After Sun Xiu finished speaking, he handed over the egg cake in his hand.
Li Xu waved his hand and sighed, "You should eat it yourself. I miscalculated this time. I thought it would taste better with twice as many eggs, but it tasted the same. Those eggs were really wasted."
The others looked at each other and smiled.
...
In the next few days, Li Xu took out a large number of items every time he signed in, and there were also some things that had never appeared before.
For example, Li Xu got 5 kilograms of milk candy at one time, which replenished his energy.
He also came to his senses. If the space does not expand, and things continue like this, the small space will be filled up in no time. What will happen to the items that have been signed in then?
If it's released in large quantities, it could become a death warrant...
