After a while, seeing that Li Ju had slowed down, Li Xu guessed that she was tired, and quickly stopped her, "Alright, alright, little sister, stop. Second brother is much better now. I'll go wash the clothes, you sit down and rest for a while."
After hearing her response, Li Xu walked out with the thermos.
It's really hard to wash clothes by hand in such cold weather without adding some hot water.
Before long, the few sets of underwear that were taken off were washed.
After hanging up the clothes, Li Xu returned to the main room to play with Li Ju, and also took care of his eldest nephew in the rocking crib.
While playing, Li Xu suddenly asked, "Little sister, has your third brother caused any trouble at home these days?"
He made a mental note of Li Chen last night.
Now I urgently need an excuse to vent my anger.
Although he could also beat Li Chen directly.
But Li Xu felt that it was inappropriate. Beating people without a reason would affect his image as a brother and could easily cause adverse effects.
If others knew about this, they would think he had violent tendencies.
So not only do we have to beat him, but we also have to make Li Chen understand why he is being beaten.
Let him have no complaints.
Although this is unlikely...
Li Ju tilted her head and thought carefully before answering with certainty, "No."
"No way, is he really that well-behaved now?" Li Xu scratched his head, thinking carefully, and found that Li Chen had indeed not been beaten for a long time, so he continued to ask, "Little sister, then think about whether he has said anything bad about me at home?"
Li Ju shook her head and said in a very firm tone, "No, if Third Brother says anything bad about you, I will definitely let Dad beat him up."
Li Xu was so happy with what he said that he kissed her on the cheek several times. "Didn't you say that Second Brother loves you the most? Do you have enough candy in your pocket? Is there anything you want to eat or play? Tell Second Brother."
Li Ju giggled, "We have plenty of candy and toys, there's nothing I want."
"Okay, if you want something, just tell my second brother."
"Okay." Li Ju narrowed her eyes and agreed.
Li Xu was not anxious because he didn't find an excuse. There was a long time to go. After a few days, he would be able to find a suitable opportunity at home every day after he finished his work.
Soon, Li Jiakang and others returned home.
When they learned that Li Xu had just gotten up, everyone expressed their understanding.
Sun Xiu said, "Wait a little longer. We can have dinner once your cousin and the others arrive."
On Laba Day, because they were making rice porridge at home, Li Jiakang and his wife did not invite Sun Yizhui and others to come over.
Besides, the longer the porridge is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes. They are all working people and don’t have time to cook porridge during the day, so I just asked them to come over and eat.
"It's okay. I'm not really hungry after sleeping all day," Li Xu responded, then thought for a moment, "Want to drink tonight?"
"Let's drink. It will be more lively when so many people drink together." Li Jiakang said quickly.
Sun Xiu glared at him and said, "You only know how to drink. I'm telling you, no one can drink too much today."
After saying that, Sun Xiu went to the kitchen.
Li Jiakang touched his nose awkwardly and muttered softly, "As long as it's drinkable."
Li Xu suddenly became curious. He had never seen her behave like this when they drank together, so he quickly asked someone who knew better, "Brother, what's wrong with Mom? What happened to her these past two days because of drinking?"
The reason why he said "again" was because he suddenly remembered the incident last year on Laba Festival when Sun Yizhu fell and got his face disfigured after drinking.
"Nothing, Dad just vomited after drinking a few days ago."
"Nonsense." Li Jiakang's eyes widened instantly and he retorted loudly, "I just had a stomachache, it had nothing to do with the alcohol. Besides, I only vomited a little bit."
Li Xu then asked, "Dad, how much did you drink that day?"
"It's not much, just four ounces. You know my alcohol tolerance best. I drank that much on New Year's Day and was fine. How could a mere four ounces make me vomit?"
Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. You can certainly drink more than four ounces."
Seeing someone speaking up for him, Li Jiakang instantly perked up, "Did you hear that? The second brother believes that my alcohol tolerance is not that small."
Li Xu: ...
Even if you don't call me that, I still trust you.
So Li Xu touched his chin and said, "After thinking about it carefully, I think what Mom said makes sense. Maybe you drank too much alcohol, which is bad for your health. If you can't handle it, don't drink tonight."
"Xiaoxu is right. Mom and I both think so, but Dad doesn't quite believe it." Li Ping said after making the child in his arms laugh.
Li Jiakang looked at Li Xu with an expression of doubt about his life.
That's not what you just said.
Li Xu understood exactly what he wanted to express, but didn't say anything.
"Whatever you say is fine, I can drink tonight anyway."
After Li Jiakang said this, he didn't even look at his favorite grandson and walked straight out of the house.
The two brothers in the room looked at each other, and then Li Xu laughed, "Still drinking? Can so many people drink the remaining wine?"
The wine that Li Jiakang drank was originally left at home for everyone to drink before he left.
Drinking a little after get off work can relieve fatigue, and it can also warm your body in such cold weather, so you can sleep better at night.
He knew very well how much he had given, and since everyone must have drunk a lot in the past few days, he was sure that there wouldn't be much left.
Hearing this, Li Ping also laughed, "It's not enough for everyone, but it's enough for Dad alone."
Li Xu understood what he said and was speechless. "Could our dad really do such a thing as eating alone?"
"He's really capable. We are all his juniors. There is nothing for him to be embarrassed about." Li Ping said very affirmatively.
"Then I'd better go back to my room and get two bottles." After saying that, Li Xu returned to his room.
After entering the house, he took out two bottles of white wine from the space and placed them on the table in the main room.
Li Ping was a little surprised, "You still have wine in the room?"
Li Xu took a look outside and then whispered, "Yes, it's in the bottom corner of my closet. If you want to drink it, go get it. Don't let Dad know."
This is true.
Not only that, he also put several bottles in it.
The original intention was for convenience and to conceal the truth.
Besides, this thing won’t go bad, so it doesn’t matter where you put it.
Now this is used.
Li Ping shook his head. "When my parents drink, I usually drink a little too. That's enough. I'm not like my dad who drinks without counting."
"I knew he was drinking without counting, so I didn't dare let him know." Then Li Xu saw Li Chen, who was playing nearby, looking over at him and immediately scolded him, "What are you looking at? Go play your own game."
Li Chen curled his lips, didn't dare to say a word, and started playing with Li Ju again.
After a while, Sun Yizhui, Li Qiang and others came over one after another.
