Mr. Li also had a happy smile on his face.
No matter what, he feels proud that his grandson has made great progress.
On the contrary, after being happy for a while, Mrs. Li fell silent again, and then asked tentatively: "Xiao Xu, did your father find this job for you?"
Hearing this, the smile on Mr. Li's face disappeared instantly, and he glared at Mrs. Li.
The others' attention also shifted to Li Xu.
Li Xu smiled and said, "Grandma, if my dad had this ability, I wouldn't have to stay at home for so long before going to work.
This job was arranged by an uncle I met outside. We usually get along well. He saw that I had no job and was idle at home all day, so he arranged this job for me.
Hearing this, Grandma Li hesitated and said, "Xiao Xu, can your brother... go to work too?"
Hearing this, Li Xu understood what the old lady meant.
Li Xu’s older brother Li Ping has a job, so this is the one Li Qiang is asking.
Anyway, the old lady has only two sons. The eldest son has several stable jobs at home, and their lives are getting better and better. Now even Li Xu has a job.
But what about the youngest son? Now the whole family, young and old, work in the fields to make a living, and even their daily needs sometimes depend on the eldest son for support.
How could the old lady not feel uncomfortable?
It is said that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old lady. Although Old Mrs. Li knew that it was wrong to say this, she decided to speak up after thinking about her youngest son's family.
Li Xu was silent for a while before he said, "Grandma, you know that jobs are very tight right now. I was able to work because of this opportunity. That uncle took care of me and helped me get in."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li understood what it meant and responded with disappointment on her face.
Li Jiafu and his wife and Li Qiang and his wife were also disappointed.
Old Master Li standing by also sighed. For him, no matter which grandson went to work, he would be happy, but in his heart he must also be thinking that his youngest son could also have a stable job at home.
So after hearing what Mrs. Li said just now, he didn't stop her except for glaring at her.
Li Xu also understood everyone's thoughts. Life in the countryside is extremely difficult now, but it is indeed difficult to find a job now.
Li Xu thought for a moment and then said, "I usually ask my friends to keep an eye out. If there's any job openings, I'll let Brother Qiang know."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions looked much better, and Li Qiang also expressed his gratitude to Li Xu.
In fact, Li Xu just thought about it and felt that there should be an opportunity next year.
When the most difficult time comes next year, there will be a lot of supplies signed in by then. After deducting the daily food for the family, the rest can be used to exchange for more jobs.
After all, the value of food will continue to decline after next year.
After everyone had a rest, they started to get busy again.
They were busy until around 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Li Xu and Li Jiafu said goodbye.
Li Xu took a big gulp of cold water and walked back home after feeling much better.
When he got home, Li Xu felt like his body was no longer his own.
Fortunately, the evening meal gave him great comfort.
Because all three of our family members went to the countryside to work today, the dinner was much better than usual.
Li Xu asked his family to cook better meals for Li Mei in the evenings these days, and he would exchange some food for her tomorrow.
Li Mei was deeply moved by these words and said, "Brother, I really love you for a long time."
Li Xu rolled his eyes, wanting to refute but having nothing to say. After all, Li Mei had indeed taken care of him a lot in the past, so he could only say:
"Then eat more to replenish your body. I'll get you some good food later, and you can try to get into university next year."
Li Mei repeatedly promised that she would be admitted to university next year.
Li Chen also shouted: "Second brother, what about me? Is there any good thing for me? Give me some supplements too."
Li Xu glanced at him and said, "What the hell do you want? You're just trying to make up for it."
This kid Li Chen has never been within Li Xu's consideration.
After hearing this, Li Chen was also confused, "If the elder sister can make up for it, why can't I?"
"What's your educational background, sister? What's yours? Let's talk about this after you're able to get into high school."
After hearing this, Li Chen looked at Li Xu with resentment and couldn't say a word.
There was no way around it. His academic performance was notoriously poor. Li Xu even thought that Li Chen had only graduated from elementary school at most.
Everyone laughed at Li Chen's expression.
After a night's sleep, my body felt even more sore.
I thought last year was better. Although we also harvested rice at that time, I was with my classmates and teachers, and everyone would take a break when they were tired. Unlike this time, we didn’t take a break at all.
Li Xu felt that the fatigue from driving for four consecutive days was nothing compared to this.
Thinking that the people in the countryside would have to do this for several days, Li Xu felt his scalp tingling.
I couldn't help but feel lucky that I had to go to work.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, he took out some rice and flour and walked into the kitchen to hand them to Sun Xiu.
After dinner, I walked to work with heavy steps.
Uncle Xu couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Xu like this: "What's wrong? Did you hit your balls?"
Li Xu's mouth twitched. "Uncle Xu, please don't talk nonsense. Yesterday I went to the countryside to help my uncle and his team harvest rice, and when I woke up today, it looked like this."
Uncle Xu laughed even more happily: "Your health is not good enough. When I was your age, I cut rice for several days in a row and still couldn't do it like you."
"How can my physique compare with yours? Okay, I'm going to work too. I won't say anything more to you." After saying that, regardless of Uncle Xu's ridicule, Li Xu walked towards the convoy as if no one was around.
Along the way, many people in the team would make fun of Li Xu's walking posture. Li Xu tried to explain it at first, but later he simply stopped explaining.
After returning the gun to the logistics department, Li Xu sat in Liu Gang's car and looked through the secret manual.
I didn't feel much better until noon.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, Li Xu actually found Xiao Jianping chatting and laughing with Su Weidong.
I was a little puzzled. Could it be that Xiao Jianping had figured it out?
After seeing Li Xu, the two of them also walked over.
Walking up to him, Xiao Jianping spoke first: "I was wrong before, I shouldn't be angry, and I apologize to you."
Li Xu thought that was indeed the case, and said with a smile, "It's good that you've figured it out. There's nothing to apologize for. Let's eat and talk."
The two nodded.
The three of them sat at a table, eating and chatting.
Li Xu first asked Xiao Jianping, "How did you figure it out?"
Xiao Jianping blushed and stammered without saying a word.
Su Weidong laughed at the side, "He only figured it out after being beaten by his family."
Hearing this, Li Xu was stunned. What was going on?
He asked immediately, and Su Weidong explained to Li Xu with a smile.
Only then did Li Xu understand what Su Weidong meant.
