You said the situation is different, so how do you know this move is effective?
Although everyone was a little confused, they were not tactless enough to ask.
Whatever she says, everyone listens to it.
Du Sen nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely learn well from my brother-in-law when the time comes."
Everyone then showed a satisfied expression.
the next day.
Lunar New Year's eve.
After breakfast, Li Xu and his friends started to get busy.
Li Xu brought the cakes, snacks and other items that he had prepared in advance to the kitchen and cleaned up the kitchen.
After everything was ready, Hu Guilan walked in, closed the door, and began to prepare today's dinner.
The little guy Li Wenbai is temporarily under the care of Li Ju.
Even Li Chen, who could not walk very well, was assigned tasks.
Of course, his job is not only simple, but also very much enjoyed by him.
That is to stand at the kitchen door and set off firecrackers.
As soon as you smell something, throw a few firecrackers.
For this purpose, Sun Xiu specially paid for a lot of them to buy him. It should be fine if they are kept for three or five days.
Li Mei was also busy.
She is writing couplets for her home.
Just when everyone was busy, they heard the sound of someone knocking on the gate.
Li Xu quickly put down the work in his hands and ran towards the gate.
When he opened the door and saw that it was his neighbor, and that the other party was holding a lot of red paper in his hand, Li Xu immediately understood.
So she smiled and said kindly, "Aunt Feng, you want my sister to write couplets for you, right? We're cleaning the house right now and can't take care of it right now. How about this, you give me the red paper and I'll send it to you after I'm done writing it? Is that okay with you?"
Hearing this, Aunt Feng handed over the red paper directly, took out a few candies from her pocket, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, tell your sister to trouble her. I don't have anything good at home. Take these candies and eat them."
Although Li Mei wrote couplets for these neighbors completely free of charge.
But these neighbors are quite considerate and always give some snacks as a reward.
If it were a good year in the past, Li Xu would have just collected it.
But in this situation, he really couldn't bear it.
So Li Xu just took the red paper and said, "Aunt Feng, you should take these candies back for your grandson. My parents said that this year is not easy for everyone, so they won't accept anything from anyone."
Aunt Feng was startled at first, then asked, "Did your parents really say that?"
"That's for sure, so you should take it back."
After a long while, Aunt Feng said with emotion, "Your Li family is very kind and righteous. I will remember this."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Xu looked at her back, shook his head, and then closed the door.
Although candy is nothing to the Li family, it is indeed rare for ordinary people.
Because nowadays many people will directly swallow fruit candies to satisfy their hunger.
If you have trouble swallowing, drink water in big gulps until you swallow it.
Although he hasn't tried it, Li Xu hopes this method will be useful...
She walked into the main room and put the red paper on the table, "Sister, your work is here, this is from Aunt Feng's house."
Li Mei nodded in response, then asked, "You didn't take what she handed to you, did you?"
"I didn't answer it. I even made an excuse, saying that my parents don't allow us to accept things from our neighbors this year." Li Xu responded with a smile.
"That's a good point." After saying that, Li Mei continued writing.
In this way, every once in a while, a neighbor would come to the door.
Li Xu stood outside the door and didn't let anyone in.
I also refused the snacks they offered me for the same reason.
I have to say, he was very busy this morning.
Not only does he have to clean up, but he also has to deal with visitors, and even the diapers that little Wenbo changes have to be washed by him.
At noon, a few people ate some pastries to fill their stomachs.
After resting for a while, Li Xu took the written couplets and delivered them to the door one by one.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Xiu and the other two returned.
After they entered the courtyard, Li Xu closed the gate and asked, "Mom, did you get the outstanding employee award this year?"
Sun Xiu's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she said with a bit of pride, "I'm the only one in our family who won this year, and the reward was a handkerchief."
Li Xu smacked his lips. "Not bad, but since you already have it, there's no point in having it."
"This is my symbol of honor. How can it be the same as the one you gave me? When your sister-in-law comes out of the kitchen, I will give it to her."
Li Ping, who was standing by, said with a smile, "Then I have to thank Mom on Guilan's behalf."
Sun Xiu waved her hand and said, "I should be the one thanking her. She usually takes care of the house by herself, which saves me a lot of worry."
As they talked, several people walked into the main room.
When Sun Xiu and the other two saw the new New Year pictures in the main room, they couldn't take their eyes off them.
After a long while, Li Jiakang finally sighed and said, "It seems like I haven't seen the scenes in this New Year picture for a long time."

"Dad, please stop sighing." After saying that, Li Mei handed over the couplets on the table. "If you have nothing to do, go and put these up with your brother."
Li Ping took the couplet without saying a word and pulled Li Jiakang out.
Sun Xiu came back to his senses, walked around the main room, and then said with satisfaction, "Not bad, it's cleaned very well."
Seeing her like this, Li Xu couldn't help but tease, "It seems that the boss is quite satisfied with my work, but I wonder if there will be any reward?"
"You little brat, I don't know who you inherited your smooth-talking nature from." This immediately made Sun Xiu laugh, and then she asked, "Xiao Mei, do you think we should give him a reward?"
"No, I think this reward should be given to sister-in-law and Xiaoju."
Sun Xiu was startled at first, then quickly asked, "Xiao Ju? What did she do today?"
"Xiaoju has been watching Wenbo since morning and hasn't left. She hasn't played at all, unlike the third child who can still set off firecrackers in the yard."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiu quickly stepped forward, hugged Li Ju, and kissed her vigorously. "Our little girl is really sensible. No doubt, Mom will give you a 10-cent increase in New Year's money when the time comes."
Li Ju's eyes narrowed with joy, and she said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome." Then Sun Xiu put her down. "You go play. I'll look after Wen Bo."
Li Ju responded and ran out happily.
Unexpectedly, Li Mei stopped him after he had just run two steps.
She turned her head and asked in confusion, "Sister, what's the matter with you?"
Li Mei walked up to her and squatted down, a sly smile on her face. "Little sister, I fought for this reward for you just now. Do you want to share some with me?"
Li Ju tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied crisply, "Divided."
