Xiao Jianping rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Come on, forget it. I don't know you. If you say there's a high possibility, it means you're 100% sure."
Turning his head and looking at him for a while, Li Xu said sincerely, "Not bad, little fatty, you are getting smarter and smarter."
Xiao Jianping's face darkened. "I wasn't stupid before."
"Yes, yes, you are very smart."
The two of them walked to the convoy of cars while chatting.
Because the weather was hot, Li Xu didn't want to sit in the driver's seat, so he found a small stool from the car and sat in the shade under the car.
Not long after, seeing Liu Gang coming over, Li Xu hurriedly asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know about the increase in food rations?"
Liu Gang nodded. "I know. The county received a notice yesterday afternoon saying that the summer grain harvest was good, and starting this month, the grain ration will be gradually increased until the prescribed amount is restored."
Li Xu could understand this.
After all, it is only the summer grain harvest now, and no one knows what will happen next, so it is naturally impossible to achieve it in one step.
It would be exciting to be able to increase the food ration this month, even if it is only by one kilogram.
Thinking of this, a smile suddenly spread across his face. "That's great! The disaster is finally coming to an end."
"Yes, that's great." Liu Gang also expressed his feelings.
People had previously said the disaster would end this month.
That's just speculation after all.
Now that I have received the above notice, it is finally settled.
After a moment of silence, Li Xu continued, "You know what, this news spread really fast. The county just received the notice yesterday afternoon, and now it seems like the news has spread throughout the county."
"You don't know how much people are looking forward to hearing this news." At this point, Liu Gang sighed, "People have had such a hard time in the past few years."
After saying that, he found a small stool from the car and sat next to Li Xu.
Both of them were silent, just looking into the distance.
At this moment, Li Xu's mind was filled with scenes he had seen in the past two years.
It finally comes down to one word - bitter.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xu suddenly pointed to a row of trees in the distance and said, "Uncle Liu, don't you think those trees are ugly?"
Looking in the direction, Liu Gang nodded in agreement, "It's quite ugly. What do you think?"
"Yes, I think those trees are damaging the image of our supply and marketing cooperative. Why don't you talk to Shen Yuan and ask him to find someone to cut down those trees and plant new ones."
Liu Gang looked over speechlessly, "Are you sick? Are these trees bothering you? Do you think Shen Yuan will listen to me?"
"New Year, new beginnings. The hard times are all over. Why are we still keeping these dead trees?"
All I saw were bare trees, without even a piece of bark on them, let alone leaves.
It is said that trees without bark are doomed to die. Those trees have been dead since their bark was stripped off, and they have always been like this. Li Xu has long found it an eyesore and wants to replace them with some living trees.
Now that the disaster is about to end, his idea has become stronger, so he couldn't help but say it out loud.
Hearing him say this, Liu Gang touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Shen Yuan may not listen to me."
"Tell him these trees are an eyesore for our fleet and ask him to replace them quickly. If that doesn't work, tell him the disaster is almost over and that some leaders might come to inspect someday. They'll probably see these dead trees and think he's unqualified as director."
Liu Gang looked over in surprise and said, "Good boy, you have been planning this for a long time, right?"
Li Xu smiled and said, "I just came up with this idea."
Liu Gang: ...
"Okay, I'll go talk to him later."
Li Xu nodded and then talked about other things.
At noon, Li Xu heard another piece of news, saying that the county had issued a notice to increase the food ration this month.
Upon hearing the news, the people in the supply and marketing cooperative were even more excited than they had been in the morning.
People's excited faces can be seen everywhere, and even their voices have become louder, as if they have endless energy.
To appear sociable, Li Xu also joined in, acting excited, even shouting himself hoarse...
He originally thought that was the worst that could happen, but he didn't expect that something even more exaggerated was yet to come.
Not long after getting off work, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from all directions. Li Jiakang joined in the fun and took out two firecrackers from the cabinet and started setting them off.
The sound of firecrackers did not become louder until the Li family finished dinner.
Because his voice was hoarse, Li Xu didn't go anywhere and just stayed at home listening to people chatting.
I didn't expect that Du Ming and his wife would come to my house.
After everyone finished greeting each other, Yang Li asked in astonishment, "What's wrong with Xiaoxu's voice?"
"I was so excited that I shouted myself hoarse," Sun Xiu explained.
Yang Li and Du Ming looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Li Jiakang asked, "Brother Du, what are you doing here?"
Du Ming nodded, a helpless look on his face. "We're here to look for you two and Xiaoxu. Would it be convenient for you to come to my house tomorrow night?"
"Huh?" Li Jiakang and the others were stunned. "Brother Du, is there something wrong at home that needs our help?"
"There is something, but I'm not asking you to help. I'm asking you to be a witness." Du Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the disaster is over, we plan to sever ties with Du Qing. The time is set for tomorrow night."
"Ah?" Everyone in the Li family exclaimed in surprise.
Li Xu knew that he had this idea a long time ago, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient.
I just heard the news of increasing food rations today, and I want to break off relations with Du Qing tomorrow.
Sun Xiu quickly persuaded, "Brother Du, you must think this through carefully. She is your own daughter."
The Li family had heard Li Xu say many times that Du Qing had a bad relationship with the Du family, and they also knew that Du Ming wanted to sever ties.
But Sun Xiu felt that after all, she was his own daughter who he had raised, so he still had to persuade her.
Yang Li waved her hands and said bitterly, "If she hadn't broken our hearts, we wouldn't have done this. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my daughter is obsessed with her husband's family and doesn't care about her family at all. Who would dare to marry a daughter like this?"
Everyone in the Li family looked at each other, knowing that the Du family was determined, so they stopped trying to persuade them.
Sun Xiu held Yang Li's hand without saying a word.
She knew that even though she said this, Yang Li would definitely not feel good in her heart, so she could only comfort her in this way.
Yang Li took out one hand and patted the back of Sun Xiu's hand, indicating that she understood.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiakang also sighed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, we'll go there tomorrow. By the way, will anyone else be there then?"
"Yes, we'll follow the old rules. Severing ties requires witnesses from relatives and friends. I'll find the others later."
