Everyone looked astonished, "How many cakes do you have?"
"I didn't count carefully. Come on, everyone, try it."
Fortunately, everyone can eat it now, otherwise even if we only try one piece of each, we would probably be full.
During this period, Li Wenbai threw himself into Hu Guilan's arms, drooling and calling "Mom, Mom".
He didn't stop until Hu Guilan put some pastry crumbs into his mouth.
After finishing the cakes, everyone picked up the melon seeds and peanuts at the bottom and started eating them.
It was almost noon and everyone stopped eating when Hu Guilan went to the kitchen to cook.
Li Xu patted Li Chen and said, "Go, sweep up these shells on the ground and burn them in the kitchen stove."
Li Chen responded and quickly picked up the broom and started sweeping.
Then there was a scene of flying dust.
Li Xu quickly scolded him, "Are you itching for trouble? Can't you see all the food and drinks here? Besides, if you stuff all this dirt into the stove, will it burn?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen quickly stopped what he was doing, with an embarrassed expression on his face. "Second brother, put the things away first. I'll sweep these shells together and then put them on the stove with my hands. I'll make sure there's no dirt on them."
Li Xu: ...
You are so smart.
"Then you come over and look after your nephew first. My sister and I will pack up the things."
"Okay." Li Chen threw down the broom and ran over to support Li Wenbai.
Li Xu and Li Mei walked towards the main room with the things, and even Li Ju helped to carry some.
After everything was packed up, they moved the stools and teacups to a farther place, leaving Li Chen free to perform there.
At this moment, Li Mei suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Mom and Dad asked us to clean the house. We were so busy eating that we forgot about it."
Li Xu was stunned at first, then waved his hand, "It's okay, it's the same cleaning in the afternoon."
After lunch, Li Wenbai fell asleep in the cradle shortly afterwards.
Taking this opportunity, everyone quickly cleaned the house.
No one dared to ask Li Chen to sweep the floor again, they just asked him to wipe the table.
He did a pretty good job on this job.
Maybe because today is the Little New Year, Du Sen did not come as usual.
In the afternoon, the weather suddenly turned gloomy.
Li Xu and the other two went to the main room and started making dumplings.
The three of them chatted while working, and they didn't feel tired, but their speed was very slow.
After Li Wenbai woke up, Li Xu took him down from the cradle and asked Li Chen to watch him walk.
In the evening, when Li Jiakang and the others came home from get off work, they were surprised to see the dumplings on the table and the fillings in the bowl. "Xiao Xu brought back meat again?"
"Yeah." Li Mei responded, "Not only did they take a lot of meat and oil, but they also took some cakes and snacks. It doesn't look like they came from an ordinary family."
Some people didn't understand and asked quickly, "It doesn't sound like it comes from an ordinary family. What does that mean?"
"Don't listen to what big sister says." Li Xu smiled and then said, "Little sister, take out a box of cakes for mom, dad and big brother to try."
"Hmm." Li Ju responded and quickly opened the cabinet and took out a wooden box and handed it to Sun Xiu. "Mom, try it. This is delicious."
Sun Xiu and the others looked at the wooden box packaging and finally understood what Li Mei meant.
After exchanging a glance, Li Jiakang said, "Burn the boxes after you finish eating. Don't leave any at home."
"Okay." Li Xu responded, "You can try one first. There are still many in the cabinet. You can try the rest after dinner."
Sun Xiu nodded, opened the wooden box and gave a piece to Li Jiakang and Li Ping respectively, and the three of them started eating.
"It tastes really good. By the way, shall we have dumplings tonight?"
"Yes, dumplings with wine and a meat dish."
Li Xu hasn't drunk any alcohol for so many days. Now that he finally has a day off, he must have some drinks.
So I took out the wine in advance.
Li Jiakang was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly called out to Li Ping, "Hurry up, let's clean up the table and have dinner later."
Then he said to Sun Xiu, "Go to the kitchen and see if Guilan needs any help."
Sun Xiu glanced at him and said unhappily, "You're happy just talking about drinking. You and the boss should clean up the table, and then help Xiaomei and the others make dumplings."
After saying that, he put the pastries in the cupboard and walked towards the kitchen.
"I know." Li Jiakang responded and started to pack up.
After they finished cleaning up, they washed their hands and started helping to make dumplings.
After a while, Sun Xiu came over and asked everyone to go to the kitchen. "The dumplings are already in the pot. Let's take this opportunity to worship the Kitchen God. Take the incense burner and other things."
Everyone quickly stopped what they were doing, picked up their things and headed towards the kitchen.
It’s pretty much the same process as last year.
After setting off firecrackers, everyone started dinner.
Naturally, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, while everyone was making dumplings, Sun Xiu asked, "Xiao Xu, how long is your vacation this time?"
"It will last until the 15th day of the first lunar month."
Li Jiakang's eyes almost popped out, "Why is it so long?"
"It's not bad. We haven't had a vacation for about 10 days in this period. Everyone is exhausted. If we don't give them enough vacation time, those leaders won't be able to live in peace."
After finishing speaking, Li Xu asked, "Did anything happen when you were at work today?"
"Nothing."
This made Li Xu a little puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. No one has said they want to introduce someone to my sister?"
Um?
Everyone was stunned.
Then Li Mei shouted, "You are not allowed to say it."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Li Xu looked at her with amusement, and then told her everything that happened today.
I didn't dare tell Li Mei about the car team before because I was afraid she would pinch me.
Now that there are so many people here, I can finally speak.
It's quite uncomfortable to hold it in for a whole day.
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and then Sun Xiu shook her head. "Do you remember that after your sister's college acceptance letter arrived, many people in our factory brought their children to the factory?"
"I remember, what's wrong?"
Of course Li Xu remembered this incident. Afterwards, everyone in the Li family said that those people were toads wanting to eat swan flesh, a bunch of ugly things who only dreamed of such beautiful things.
But that was a few months ago, what does it have to do with now?
Then Sun Xiu explained, "Actually, ever since then, there have been people in the factory trying to introduce Xiaomei to a date."
Li Xu and Li Mei were stunned and asked, "Why don't I know?"
"At first we were quite angry, but then we thought about the old saying that goes, 'A daughter is sought after by hundreds of families.' Xiaomei has such good conditions, it's normal for someone to be interested in her. We rejected others when they mentioned her, and we didn't take it seriously, so we didn't tell anyone at home."
