The next day, when Li Xu woke up, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
When I got up and went out, I saw a scene of snow outside.
The heavy snow was still falling from the sky.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xu picked up his things and squatted under the eaves to wash up.
After washing up, I entered the main room and saw Li Mei say, "Sister-in-law just went to the kitchen to cook. Have some snacks first."
"Yeah." Li Xu responded, and while pouring himself some water, he said, "Third brother, bring me a box of cakes and put them on the table."
Li Chen, who was playing with Li Ju in the house, heard this and hurried over to get a box of cakes.
But he didn't put it on the table. Instead, he came to Li Xu, raised the cake with both hands, and showed a flattering smile on his face, "Second brother, this is for you."
Li Xu looked at him while holding the water. "What are you doing with your ears? Didn't you hear me when I told you to put it there?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Li Mei laughed. "He must be trying to take advantage of you."
After listening to this, Li Xu glared at Li Chen, "All you do is eat and put it on the table."
"Oh." Li Chen now looked like an eggplant hit by frost, listless. He turned around and walked to the table, put the pastries on it, and then walked towards Li Ju.
"Come back." Li Xu sat down at the table and took a sip of water before saying, "Little sister, come here and rest."
Perhaps because his expression was not clear, Li Chen turned around and asked, "Second brother, are you asking me to go back?"
"Who else could it be?" Li Xu said unhappily.
Li Chen understood now, and quickly turned around and walked to Li Xu, his eyes constantly looking at the pastries.
Li Ju heard the shout and ran towards Li Xu, throwing herself into his arms. Then she raised her smiling face and said, "Second brother, I'm not tired."
"Take a break even if you're not tired."
Then Li Xu opened the wooden box, took out a piece of cake for each of them, put another piece into his mouth, and asked vaguely, "Sister, when did you get up?"
"It's around 9 o'clock, what's going on?"
"I see you're eating so fast, maybe you didn't eat anything this morning?" While speaking, Li Xu handed the box over to her, indicating that she should continue eating.
Li Mei reached out and took another piece, saying, "I ate too much last night, so I didn't feel hungry when I woke up this morning."
I haven't had a full meal in a long time since I went to college.
After seeing the food last night, I really couldn’t help but eat too much.
"Brother, can you give me another piece?"
Li Xu glanced at Li Chen, took another piece and handed it over, "The last piece, eat it and stay aside quickly."
"Well, little sister, you should eat quickly too." After saying that, she stuffed the cake into her mouth and ran to the side to play.
"Just play your own thing, why are you urging me to do something?" Li Xu then took out another piece and handed it to Li Ju, saying softly, "Little sister, don't pay attention to him. Eat slowly, you can have as much as you want."
Seeing Li Ju chewing slowly, Li Xu whispered to Li Mei, "Everyone in our family knows that except for the third child, anyone who wants to eat these can eat them. If you wake up late, feel free to take them. Don't be polite."
The reason why Li Chen was excluded was because we were afraid that he would eat without counting the food.
By then, there might not even be a hair left...
Li Mei shook her head. "It's not appropriate. It would be fine if the Third Brother wasn't here, but if he was in front of me, I wouldn't be able to take it. Besides, I've been hungry for much longer in school, so this is nothing."
"You were at school so there was nothing we could do. Mom wanted to send you some salted eggs before, but after thinking about it, she gave up. Now you're at home, so you can eat as much as you want."
"Luckily you didn't send it, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Li Mei thought for a moment and then sighed, "The food at home is so good. I'm actually really worried that I'll gain weight if I eat too much. It would be hard to explain when I go to school."
Even if I can hide it from outsiders, I definitely can't hide it from my roommates.
When they first entered college, they felt that they had some weight on their bodies and could just brush it off casually.
But I am thinner now. If I gain weight again during the one-month vacation, how can I explain it?
Li Xu scratched his head when this matter was mentioned. "Why don't you eat more delicious food during this period, and eat half full when there is nothing delicious. I think there will be no problem this way."
Li Mei sighed, "It's the only way, so I'll have to be more hungry. You don't have to worry about me in this regard."
"Okay, okay, I won't persuade you anymore. You can decide based on the situation."
Seeing that Li Mei was still a little worried, Li Xu continued to persuade her, "Don't worry, I think the situation will get better next year. Then we can eat openly."
Before Li Mei could reply, she heard Li Ju say, "Second brother, I don't want to eat anymore."
"Okay, drink some water, and then go play."
"Yeah." Li Ju responded, ran to Li Mei, took the water cup and took a big sip, then ran to play with Li Chen.
Li Mei reached out and lifted Li Wenbai to sit on her lap before asking, "Is this your guess?"
"No, I'm inferring this based on the climate. This winter's snowfall is the heaviest in the drought we've experienced in recent years. Besides, the drought has been going on for several years now, so it's time to end it."
He is the type who infers the cause from the result, so any explanation is acceptable.
But most people will think it does make sense.
Because since the disaster began, there has never been such heavy snow, but it was common before the disaster...
So after listening to it, Li Mei also felt that it made sense and smiled, "I hope so."
After lunch, Li Xu asked Li Chen to clean up the table.
After all, Li Jiakang said that it would be a good idea to let him do some housework during this time.
And I just got two pieces of cakes. How can I not do some work?
At around one o'clock, everyone was chatting in the main room when they heard the sound of someone knocking on the courtyard door.
Li Xu went out and saw that it was the Du Feng brothers. He was a little surprised. "It's snowing so heavily, and you're still here. Come in, come in and have a cup of hot water."
Du Feng didn't refuse. As he walked towards the main hall, he said helplessly, "This kid insisted on coming over to play with Xiaochen and the others. He kept making trouble for me at home. I beat him up twice but it didn't work. I really had no choice but to send him here."
"Brother-in-law, don't you want me to come over?"
“Pah.”
Seeing Du Sen covering his head, Li Xu said angrily, "You little bastard, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up. When did I ever say you're not welcome here? I just didn't expect you to come even when it's snowing so heavily."
Even Du Feng's face darkened. He stepped forward and kicked Du Sen directly into the snow, then said viciously, "You bastard, if you keep talking nonsense, come back with me."
Du Sen was indeed thick-skinned. He stood up, patted the snow off his body, and said nonchalantly, "Second brother, I was talking to my brother-in-law, why did you kick me?"
