Next, Li Chen watched Du Sen and the other two playing with envy on his face.
After a long time, Li Xu came forward and said, "You've been standing longer than yesterday. Why don't you go back and take a rest?"
Li Chen didn't even look at him, and responded directly, "I won't go back. I can hold on."
Hearing him say this, Li Xu turned and walked to the cabinet, took out a few sheets of oil paper, and then returned to his room and closed the door.
He came out after a while.
After dinner, Li Xu went directly to Fu Qing's house.
After exchanging a few words with everyone in the Fu family, Fu Qing pulled him into his house.
As soon as he entered the room, Fu Qing quickly closed the door and lit the oil lamp. Then he couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up, bring it out for me to try. You don't know, you didn't come last night, and I was so greedy that my pillow was wet when I woke up this morning."
"You look so anxious. You just came into the house."
After Li Xu finished speaking, he reached out to untie his belt.
Seeing this scene, Fu Qing was stunned. "What are you doing? I didn't bring the toilet in."
"I'm getting something for you." Li Xu replied unhappily and continued to untie his belt.
After untying his belt, Li Xu took out an oil-paper bag tucked into his waist and placed it on the cabinet next to him.
Then, while tying his belt, he said, "There are pastries in here, and I guess a lot of them are broken. You can just make do with them."
The oil paper bag was not very big, and there was only half a pound of pastries inside.
This was an idea Li Xu came up with specifically to prevent Fu Qing's family from seeing it.
Because he was afraid of falling while walking, he tied his belt very tightly, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Although it can be pulled out directly, it is not as convenient as untying the belt.
If it weren't winter now and people were wearing thick clothes, this method wouldn't work.
Fu Qing, who was sizing up the oil-paper bag, was stunned when he heard this. "You have to have half a pound in there, right? Didn't I say that two pieces would be enough to try?"
Li Xu looked at him with amusement, "I didn't realize that your eyesight is quite good. There's exactly half a pound of this. Come on, stop talking nonsense and eat it quickly."
After saying that, he reached out to open the oil paper bag and pushed it in front of Fu Qing.
Looking at the broken cakes, Fu Qing swallowed several times, then said, suppressing his greed, "How about this, I'll take two pieces to taste, and you can take the rest back."
"Are you scolding me?" Li Xu glanced over. "Just eat it without worry. I brought back more than a pound this time. We have children at home, and we got cake tickets this time. The remaining ones are enough."
He originally wanted to bring more.
But later I felt that it would be difficult to explain, and Fu Qing probably wouldn't accept it.
So I only took this much.
Seeing that he was still trying to refuse, Li Xu continued to persuade him.
After much persuasion, Fu Qing finally accepted it.
Half a pound of pastries sounds like a lot, but it’s actually not that much. It didn’t take long for them to be eaten up after I paid.
Even the scattered crumbs stuck on the oil paper were licked clean.
"How do you feel?"
"Delicious, delicious." Fu Qing said happily with his eyes narrowed.
"Who asked you this? I wanted to ask if you are still that hungry now?
"Including dinner, I'm almost full now."
Li Xu nodded and said, "That's good. Now that you have food in your stomach, it seems you can sleep well tonight."
"I guess I won't be able to sleep anymore." Fu Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know how much effort you put into getting this little thing, and now I've eaten half of it. I feel bad."
"It's okay. You can treat me to a few more good meals after the disaster is over." Li Xu smiled.
Fu Qing responded heavily.
The two chatted for a while before Li Xu said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning.
Li Xu took back the beef and mutton.
After looking at them over and over for a long time, Hu Guilan and Li Mei agreed that the two pieces of meat were a bit thin.
This made Li Xu laugh and cry. "Don't compare them to pork. For example, have you ever seen fat oxen working in the fields?"
In fact, there is a layer of fat on both pieces of meat.
It's just a little less and can't compare with the pork.
Nowadays, people think that no matter what kind of meat it is, the fattier one is the best.
That's why Hu Guilan and the others said so.
The two exchanged glances, both showing embarrassed expressions. Li Mei then changed the subject and said, "After the mutton is cooked tomorrow, how much beef do you want?"
"Six or seven pounds will be enough. If you add some mutton, it will definitely be enough," Hu Guilan replied.
Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's make six pounds. We can eat the remaining four pounds tonight. We can stir-fry the beef and add more chili peppers to cover up the beef smell. How about that?"
"This is what you took back, as long as you agree." Li Mei said to Li Xu.
"That's settled then."
To be honest, this is without conditions.
Otherwise, Li Xu would have to try the whole braised beef.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and take care of it now."
After saying that, Hu Guilan took two pieces of meat to the kitchen.
afternoon.
Seeing Du Sen coming to the house, Li Xu asked, "Xiao Sen, did your parents agree yesterday?"
"I agreed. My mom said that the New Year is coming up in the next two days, and she will take me on a blind date after the New Year."
"Is Aunt Yang so efficient? Has she found the right person for you now?"
Li Xu was a little surprised at this time.
In a case like Du Sen's, there are many things to consider when going on a blind date.
One of them is to get engaged before getting married.
To put it bluntly, since we don't know how long the disaster will last, we must find him a girl who can guarantee his survival.
Otherwise, if your fiancée starves to death before the disaster is over, wouldn’t that be bullshit?
If this happens, Du Sen’s final marriage partner will most likely be from the countryside.
And Yang Li also has to consider Du Sen's personality.
To be honest, if he were to find a wife, he would definitely look for one who could control him.
If you find a girl with a soft personality, you are just pushing her into the fire pit...
Li Xu felt that it would not be easy to find a girl who met both of these conditions.
But I didn’t expect that Yang Li would find a blind date candidate so quickly.
Du Sen grinned and said, "Who knows if my mother has found a suitable candidate for me? If not, I'll just find someone at random and book him."
“Pah.”
After a muffled sound, Du Sen covered his head and looked at Du Feng, "Second brother, why did you hit me?"
"You don't have a brain, how can I not remind you? Can you just pick a wife casually? This is related to the rest of your life."
"Yes, Xiaosen, there's an old saying that marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. You must be cautious in this regard and never act recklessly." Li Xu echoed.
