If you don’t encounter it, forget it.
But since he had met her, Li Xu had to ask about it.
Uncle Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, then Uncle Fu must thank you. Your aunt was complaining earlier that she was a little late. She should be in the middle queue, probably around 20th place. Go call her later."
"Okay, I'll go find Aunt Fu later." Li Xu readily agreed, and then continued, "Uncle Fu, let's not delay any longer. Cut me 15 pounds of meat, and I'll pick two fish first."
"No problem, the fat that uncle cuts for you is definitely the best."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the room behind him.
Seeing this, Xiao Jianping leaned over to Li Xu's ear and whispered, "Old Li, now it's your turn to help me. I just felt that the meat in my hand was not fat enough, but your uncle refused to change it for me. Please talk to him and ask him to change it for me later."
Li Xu could understand this kind of thing.
You know, people in the butcher shop can buy pork first this time.
They naturally want to keep the best for themselves.
This is human nature.
As for what Xiao Jianping said, that is even less of a problem.
So he nodded and said, "No problem, I'll help you talk later."
Then he walked forward a few steps and randomly picked two crucian carp from the big basin.
Then he handed the fish to the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative nearby.
The staff knew him and asked with a smile, "Xiao Li, are two fish enough for you?"
Li Xu responded with a smile, "Who would want to eat this when there are chickens, ducks, and meat? If my family didn't want to drink fish soup, to be honest, with my personality, I wouldn't buy a single one."
The staff member slapped his thigh, revealing a look of shared belief. "I'm thinking the same thing as you. No matter how delicious this fish soup is, how can it be better than drake soup? Just thinking about the taste of that drake soup makes me drool."
"Then you can ask your family to stew one and have a good meal." Then Li Xu took out a receipt from his pocket and handed it over, "Uncle, this is the money I didn't pay yesterday. Please calculate it later."
"You know what? We did stew a duck today." The staff member took the receipt and said with a smile, "Let me weigh these two fish for you first."
Li Xu responded, then walked up to Uncle Fu, patted Xiao Jianping on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Fu, this is my friend. Please give him a piece of fattier meat. We'll need his help buying chickens and ducks later."
Hearing this, Uncle Fu understood that Xiao Jianping's identity was not simple, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you said this matter is a big deal. If I had known the relationship between you two earlier, I would definitely give him the best meat."
Xiao Jianping quickly thanked him, "Uncle, thank you very much. If I had known that you two were related, I would have definitely dragged him here with me."
Uncle Fu's hands kept moving, and he said nonchalantly, "You're welcome."
Seeing this scene, Li Xu was deeply moved.
Butchers are really awesome these days.
Even Xiao Jianping didn't dare to offend the other party in the supply and marketing cooperative.
After a while, Li Xu's 15 kilograms of meat were cut.
When I was checking out, I found that one hundred and fifty yuan was not enough, so I paid a few dollars out of my own pocket.
Then Xiao Jianping brought the re-cut meat to weigh it, and handed over the meat he had bought before and the receipt.
The staff weighed the meat he had bought before, and after confirming that the weight matched the weight on the receipt, they tore up the receipt.
Then the freshly cut meat is weighed and invoiced.
After everything was done, a flattering smile appeared on his face. "Xiao Li, could you please ask your uncle to cut some of this fat for me too?"
Li Xu thought to himself that we were not familiar with each other.
But it would be bad not to say anything, so he said, "I can say it, I don't know if he will listen or not."
This man was also very good at dealing with things. He pulled Li Xu aside and took out two boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to him. "Xiao Li, one box of cigarettes here is for you, and the other box is for your uncle. Please help put in a good word for him."
Good job.
You came prepared!
But this sincerity is indeed sufficient.
Li Xu had no reason to refuse, "Then I'll help you talk about it."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Li."
Coming to Uncle Fu again, Li Xu took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to him, saying meaningfully, "Uncle Fu, you're quite bored here, so this pack of cigarettes will help you pass the time. If you're still bored, you can chat with the staff member next to you. He's a nice guy."
Uncle Fu was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, "Uncle understands, don't worry, but I don't want this box of cigarettes, you can take it back."
"I have a box in my pocket."
Seeing that Uncle Fu wanted to talk, Li Xu put the cigarette on the table and said quickly, "Uncle Fu, I'm going to go find Aunt Fu. I won't chat with you anymore."
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Jianping and left quickly.
Looking at his back, Uncle Fu shook his head with amusement.
He reached out and took the pack of cigarettes, then went to chat with the staff.
After walking quickly for a while, Li Xu finally let go of his hand. At this time, Xiao Jianping showed a puzzled expression, "Old Li, did you have so many things in your pocket before?"
"Yes." Li Xu answered without hesitation.
Xiao Jianping thought about it carefully, then said unhappily, "You're so dishonest. I noticed it when you took the candy before. I bet you didn't have two packs of cigarettes in your pocket at that time."
Li Xu looked at him in surprise, "Not bad, Lao Xiao, you have really improved a lot."
"If I don't improve myself, you might sell me out one day without me even realizing it."
"What are you talking about? We are half-brothers. How could I sell you out?"
Xiao Jianping was stunned at first, then looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You're amazing! You can call someone with different fathers and mothers brothers?"
Li Xu nodded seriously, "Of course, if we are as close as brothers, we should call them brothers."
Xiao Jianping: ...
"Come on, you're just talking nonsense all the time. Tell me about the cigarettes."
Seeing that he noticed, Li Xu no longer concealed it and told him the general situation. Finally, he said, "Brother, I won't treat you unfairly. I will give you half later."
Xiao Jianping waved his hand. "I don't want the cigarettes anymore. I want to know why he didn't just deliver them himself."
"My uncle doesn't know him at all. Even if he gives him both boxes of cigarettes, he might not accept them. So it's better for him to give me one box and let me deliver the other. That way, it's almost a sure thing."
Xiao Jianping understood now and couldn't help but sigh, "You people are really wicked. You have to go through so many twists and turns when giving a gift."
Li Xu glanced over and said in a bad tone, "Do you know how to speak? I'm teaching you how to give gifts. It's fine if you don't need it, but if you do, no one would dare to accept a gift from someone like you."
