These days have been really non-stop, and no one in the car team has had a good rest. Li Xu couldn't even get up in the morning, and had to rely on Sun Xiu to call him.
They shipped back the New Year supplies a few days ago, but I never bought any.
Originally, Sun Xiu wanted to take a leave to buy it.
But Li Xu felt that it would be the same if he bought that little thing later, so he said he would go after he finished his busy schedule.
After all, their internal members don’t have to queue, which is much easier.
The most important thing is that they won't know how long the holiday will last until they go there tomorrow...
"Okay then. Your sister just said that she'll get up tomorrow morning to buy rice and meat. You go get some from the supply and marketing cooperative. Although there are fewer supplies this year than last year, it's better than nothing. And tomorrow is the Little New Year, so our family will be reunited, and we can have a good meal tonight."
Although she didn't know what Li Xu would bring back for the New Year, Sun Xiu still felt confident because of the items already in the house.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Sister, don't you want to get some rest tomorrow morning?"
Li Mei shook her head. "There's a lot of time ahead. Even if I need a day off, it doesn't matter."
"Okay." Li Xu responded.
Everyone chatted for a while before going back to rest.
Early in the morning.
After being woken up and signing in, Li Xu was excited for a long time.
Today, just like this time last year, we distributed New Year gift packages.
Everything is twice as much as last year.
There were 60 kilograms of pork alone, and 10 kilograms of beef.
No doubt about it, this is enough for our family to have a prosperous year.
I didn’t take out the things yet. After getting up, I had dinner with everyone.
After eating, Li Mei and Li Xu walked towards the place where they could collect their receipts.
Since several days had passed, others had already received their tickets.
So when the two of them arrived, they didn't see the huge crowds of people like last year.
When I got the ticket, the clerk asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you here at this time?"
The two knew her doubts.
Normally, when the New Year supplies come out, everyone can’t wait to get their tickets and buy things, and it’s rare for people to wait for several days.
Especially now, if this happens, it is very likely that this person has no shortage of food at home.
Li Xu naturally couldn't let her have such a misunderstanding, so he quickly explained, "I'm from the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade. I didn't finish my work until yesterday and had no rest in between. This is my eldest sister. She's away at university. My family is worried about the dangers on the road, so except for the one who stayed behind to look after her, everyone else went out of town to pick her up a few days ago. She only got home yesterday, so she didn't come here until today."
After hearing the explanation, the clerk's eyes lit up, "Is your last name Li?"
Li Xu and the other man looked at each other and asked, "How did you know?"
"I heard that this summer there's a girl named Li in our county who got admitted to a key university. She's not even 20 yet. Looking at your face, I made a guess, and I didn't expect I was right."
At this point, the clerk's expression became excited. She looked at Li Mei from side to side and couldn't help but say, "Girl, I heard that you want to come back after you graduate, right? Do you have a date yet? Do you want me to introduce you to one? Don't worry, that guy is quite good. You will definitely enjoy a good life if you marry him."
Li Xu and Li Mei were both confused after hearing this.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
The guess is quite accurate.
Seeing how excited you are, it's not your son you want to introduce, right?
It’s fine if you know that the girl who got into college is surnamed Li. After all, college students were really rare at that time, and every time one appeared in the county, the news would spread quickly.
But you even knew that Li Mei wanted to come back after graduation.
This is a bit confusing.
How would he know?
The news that Li Mei wanted to come back after graduation had already spread.
That is because we are still in the disaster period, otherwise their doorstep would have been broken down by people looking for marriage proposals.
When the clerk encountered them, how could he not speak up?
After being stunned for a moment, Li Mei quickly said, "Auntie, I just started college and it will take several years for me to graduate. My parents said that I can only date after graduation. You should give us the bill first, because we still need to go shopping."
Li Xu also agreed, "Yes, this is a big matter, we can't make the decision. If you want to propose to my sister, you should go home and talk to my parents."
The clerk said a few more words hoping to get rid of the problem, but Li Xu and the other man still refused.
Finally, with no other options, the clerk handed over the receipt and said, "Girl, don't rush into getting engaged. I'll come to your house after the disaster is over. The man I introduced is absolutely great. If you really like him, his family will definitely give you a grand wedding."
After Li Mei took the bill, she said something perfunctory and quickly walked out with Li Xu.
After walking for a while, Li Xu suddenly burst into laughter.
Then I felt a pain in my waist and begged for mercy, "Sister, sister, please let go, it hurts."
Li Mei let go of her hand and glared at him fiercely, "What's so funny? If you dare to laugh again, I'll pinch you."
"Yes, yes, I won't laugh anymore." Although he said this, Li Xu still had the urge to laugh, and he was having a hard time holding it back.
Seeing that Li Mei was about to start again, Li Xu hurriedly said, "Sister, quickly divide the bills. It's getting late and I still have to go to work."
Hearing this, Li Mei divided the bills in her hand and handed some over, "No laughing, you hear me?"
"Don't worry, I won't laugh anymore. Go buy it quickly and go back home soon after you're done."
Li Xu took the bill, said a word and hurried to the office.
He started laughing after walking a few steps.
When they reached the entrance of the purchasing department, Uncle Xu was stunned to see him like this. "Your eldest sister came back yesterday, but she shouldn't be so happy, right?"
"You don't understand. We are a brother and sister with a deep bond. I won't say any more. I still need to go in and buy New Year's supplies."
Even though there was no one at the ticket collection area, there were still many people queuing up to buy things in the supply and marketing cooperative.
There is no other way. The supply and marketing cooperative is crowded. If you want to buy everything, you have to wait in line for several days.
Li Xu first went to the logistics department and handed over the gun on his waist and the bullets in his pocket.
Then I arrived at the motorcade and saw that almost everyone in the motorcade had arrived.
He walked up to Liu Gang and asked, "Uncle Liu, how many days of vacation should we have?"
Liu Gang shook his head. "I don't know. Someone should come and tell me soon."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw a hand on his shoulder and heard a voice in his ear, "Hey, Lao Li, does your sister have a boyfriend?"
Li Xu's face turned dark.
Damn, it’s fine if other people asked me, but you, with your ugly appearance, also want to be my brother-in-law?
So he turned his head and asked in a bad tone, "Old Xiao, do you want to be my brother-in-law?"
