"They went to the countryside to deliver chickens and ducks to my grandma's house. They just left not long ago. Do you need anything from them?"
As the sounds of chickens and ducks rang out in the house, Fu Qing looked towards a corner of the main hall and said, "It's okay. I came here specifically to see you. You bought quite a few chickens and ducks."
Li Xu poured tea and said, "Come on, your family bought as much as mine. Didn't Aunt Fu tell you how she brought back the chickens and ducks today?"
Fu Qing grinned, "She told me to thank you when I see you."
"Do we even need to thank each other?" Li Xu glanced over, handed him the tea, and then teased, "Why are you carrying two chickens here? Are you trying to give me a gift?"
From the moment he entered the door until now, Fu Qing has never let go of the chicken in his hand, and Li Xu has been curious for a long time.
I don't know what he means by bringing the chicken.
So I wanted to make a joke.
Unexpectedly, Fu Qing readily admitted, "You're right, I came here to give you a gift."
Li Xu was stunned at first, then said unhappily, "Just say what you want to say, don't talk nonsense with me."
He didn't believe at all that Fu Qing was here to give him a gift.
Hearing this, Fu Qing put the two chickens in his hand on the ground and quickly explained, "I'm telling the truth. I paid for my mother to buy these two chickens, and I was planning to give them to you."
Seeing the expression on his face, Li Xu felt that he was not lying and asked curiously, "Why did you give me such a big gift for no reason?"
Fu Qing picked up the teacup with his other hand and took a sip, then said with a grin, "You gave me so many good things before, and now I finally have the opportunity, so I'll buy you two chickens as a reward for your efforts."
"Early repayment? So there will be later repayment?" Li Xu looked at him in confusion.
"Of course I do. These two chickens can't express my gratitude to you, big brother. When the disaster is over, I'll get you two hens to nourish you."
Good job.
Who uses hens for health supplements these days?
Li Xu stared at him in amazement. After a moment, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Do you think I dare to use hens to nourish my body?"
Fu Qing waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "Why are you afraid? I gave it to you, not you. Can Uncle Li and the others beat you up for this?"
"I'm afraid people will call me a loser."
"Scolding a few times won't hurt you. Besides, you're already engaged, so there's no need to find a wife. It doesn't matter whether you're a prodigal or not."
"Get out of the way. I care about my reputation. I can't do that even if I'm engaged." Li Xu said righteously.
Looking him up and down for a while, Fu Qing showed a regretful expression on his face, "Okay, I'll send it to you when the time comes. You can arrange it however you want."
Li Xu quickly waved his hand and refused, "Forget it, I didn't expect anything in return for giving you food. You can take these two chickens back later."
Fu Qing immediately became anxious. He walked up to Li Xu, put his hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely, "I've already delivered it to you. You have no choice but to accept it. If you don't accept it today, I won't leave."
Grass.
You dare to put your hand on my shoulder without even washing your hands after taking the chicken?
How can you have such a sincere expression on your face when you say this?
Thinking of this, Li Xu quickly took his hand away and looked at him speechlessly, "Can I think that you are playing rogue?"
"Whatever you want to think, but you have to accept it."
This made Li Xu a little confused, but he still tried to persuade her earnestly, "You have to hand over most of your salary to your family every month. After deducting your own expenses, do you have two dollars left? These two chickens cost more than ten dollars, right? I guess you have almost spent all your money, otherwise you wouldn't just give me chickens, so forget it."
The paid job came at great cost to his family.
So since he started working, he has to hand over 70% of his salary every month.
The remaining money is what he can control.
After deducting the expenses for social interactions and buying cigarettes, how much is left at the end of the month?
Moreover, the supply and marketing cooperatives sell not only chickens, but also ducks.
Li Xu thought that the reason Fu Qing sent two chickens was because he didn't have much money.
Because a pound of duck is 15 cents more expensive than a pound of chicken...
Fu Qing might have felt insulted, his face flushed red, and he asked loudly, "Am I the kind of person who has no money?"
Li Xu spread his hands and looked at him with amusement, "What else?"
These four words broke Fu Qing's defense.
She stared at him blankly for a while, then said dejectedly, "Okay, I admit, I don't have much money right now, but I will have some starting next month."
"What do you mean?"
"My dad thinks I've performed pretty well over the past year, so he's decided that starting next month I only need to hand over half of my salary."
Li Xu shook his head. "You're so poor now. As your eldest brother, I really feel embarrassed to accept your things."
At this time, Fu Qing acted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but he couldn't utter a word after trying several times.
Li Xu couldn't help it and said directly, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Fu Qing whispered, "You must accept these two chickens. I definitely can't take them back."
“Why can’t you take it back?”
"In short, I can't."
Seeing his eager look, Li Xu thought for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, "You son of a bitch, you didn't take these two chickens from home, did you?"
Fu Qing quickly explained, "That's not the case. I did spend money, but not that much."
Li Xu couldn't believe this "Wolong" at all and could only continue to ask, "How much did you spend?"
Fu Qing held up two fingers and said awkwardly, "It cost four dollars."
"How did you convince your parents?"
"I said I wanted to give it to my boss to see if I could get a permanent position early, so they gave me a chicken and a duck. But I felt embarrassed, so I only took two chickens."
At this point, he showed a look of deep sorrow and anguish. "To show my sincerity to you, I forced them to give this money. You don't know that I only have a little over one dollar left in my pocket, which is only enough to buy cigarettes this month."
After hearing this, Li Xu looked at him in disbelief. "You son of a bitch! You've been working for over a year, and you only have a little over five dollars in your pocket? Aren't you afraid that your parents will beat you to death if you get caught?"
He really didn't expect that Fu Qing would only have so little money in his hand.
If you say he is insincere, he could use four dollars to buy a chicken.
If you say it's sincere, it's equivalent to deceiving Uncle Fu and his wife.
No wonder they say you can’t take the chicken back.
If we take this back, won’t it be exposed immediately?
