"Alright, Uncle Xu, given our relationship, isn't it a bit awkward to say these things?"
Uncle Xu nodded in agreement and introduced his family and Li Xu to each other again.
Then Uncle Xu asked Brother Xu to take a bucket filled with water and bring it into the house, and asked Aunt Xu to make a cup of milk powder for her grandson first.
He then led Li Xu to the main room and made him a cup of sugar water.
Before the two of them could say a few words, Brother Xu came in with a bucket, and Li Xu and he poured the fish into it again.
Looking at the big bucket of fish, Brother Xu was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands and kept thanking Li Xu.
The three of them sat in the main room and chatted with each other.
Not long after, Aunt Xu walked in with a happy look on her face.
Without saying a word, he thanked Li Xu, "Thank you so much, Xiaoxu. You don't know, this child vomits everything he drinks. I made him a cup of milk powder, and he drank it in a few gulps. Not only did he not vomit, he even burped. I finally feel relieved."
Seeing this, Li Xu quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Xu, didn't I just say that it's awkward to talk about the relationship between Uncle Xu and me?"
"Then I still want to thank you."
After Aunt Xu finished speaking, Uncle Xu came over and pulled her to a stool nearby.
Uncle Xu continued, "Okay, you should sit down and rest for a while. You haven't had a good night's sleep these past two days, and you're pretty tired."
Then they talked for a while in the room.
After a while, Brother Xu's wife came in and expressed her gratitude again and again.
I was taking care of the child in the house just now, and only came out to thank you now that the child has eaten and fallen asleep.
It took another tug of war before it settled down.
Until Uncle Xu couldn't sit still any longer, "Xiao Xu, I don't know what to give you in exchange for these things."
Before, they only thought that Li Xu would bring some milk powder, but they didn’t expect that he would also bring so many fish.
Then the previous conditions are no longer suitable.
Hearing this, Li Xu waved his hands and said, "Uncle Xu, these things are just what I, as an uncle, give to my nephew. I don't want anything."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't sit still anymore and started to speak up, "No, how can we accept this?"
Li Xu also smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, when you arranged a job for me, you didn't take anything from me."
Uncle Xu shook his head repeatedly, "This is different."
"It all seems the same to me."
No matter how everyone tried to persuade him, Li Xu insisted on giving it away and not exchanging it.
Finally, Brother Xu got anxious and shouted, "How about this, I have a work quota at the county hardware factory, and I don't need them at home, so let's just consider them as exchanges.
If you still refuse, take the things away."
Everyone said that this was a good suggestion.
So they continued to persuade Li Xu, but Li Xu still refused to agree.
Seeing that Brother Xu was going to pour the fish back into Li Xu's bucket and asked someone to get milk powder, Li Xu had no choice but to agree.
Seeing Li Xu agree, everyone showed a satisfied smile on their faces.
Then everyone started chatting with each other, saying hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine.
Not long after, Li Xu said goodbye.
Everyone sent him out the door and watched him go away.
After Li Xu walked away, everyone in the Xu family entered the main hall.
Xu Shucai asked, "Where do you get your work quota?"
Brother Xu smiled and said, "I did a favor for the director of the hardware factory before, and he gave me a work target.
I hadn't originally planned to exchange this, but who would have thought he would bring so many fish and insisted on giving them away. I really had no choice, as this was the only thing I could give away at home.
What's more, I think he's a sociable person. When he said he wanted to give it away for free, there was no hesitation on his face. It was obvious that he had considered it a long time ago."
Aunt Xu continued, "We don't need it at home anyway, so I don't feel bad giving it to him. Besides, we really did owe him a lot of help this time."
The old man is right. This kid doesn't look like someone who's short of food. Who knows, there might be a time when he'll need help again."
Everyone agreed with this.
As long as the child's problem is solved, it is not as important as the child.
When Li Xu returned home, he saw that everyone in his family had rested.
I just went back to my room and went to sleep.
The next morning at breakfast.
At the dinner table, Li Xu deliberately asked Li Jiakang, "Dad, how's your job search going?"
Li Jiakang shook his head. "It's only been a few days. How can it be so easy to find it?"
Unexpectedly, Li Ping's eyes moved, "Xiao Xu, do you have any news about your job?"
Li Xu asked in surprise, "Brother, how did you know?"
Li Ping smiled and said, "I just felt that it was a little strange that you asked this question so suddenly, so I made a guess. I didn't expect that I would be right."
Everyone was surprised when they heard it.
Li Jiakang was so excited that he didn't even eat his meal. He put down his chopsticks and asked repeatedly, "Smelly boy, tell me quickly, how did you find it?"
Li Xu gave a brief account of the matter.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Li Ping even joked, "You can even get milk powder? You're really good now. When your sister-in-law gives birth next year and is short of milk, you'll have to help me, big brother. But I can't afford the price."
Hearing this, Li Xu patted his chest and said, "Big brother, just wait and see. I'll take care of it. Besides, why bother talking about price when it comes to family matters?"
Li Xu estimated that after Li Ping's baby was born next year, he would be able to accumulate a lot of milk powder.
Li Ping was even more surprised. He was just joking, but he didn't expect Li Xu to make the guarantee on the spot. This meant that getting the milk powder this time was not an accident!
However, Li Ping did not ask about the origin or anything like that, he just responded with a smile.
Sun Xiu was also a little excited. After all, the first job was agreed to be given to Li Qiang, and the next one would be her nephew's turn. "It seems that my second son has really made it! When are you going to talk to your second uncle about this?"
Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow. Grain coupons will be distributed tomorrow, and I can bring the grain to them the day after tomorrow. We can talk about this matter then."
Everyone nodded.
The following conversation was full of praise for Li Xu.
Li Xu was praised so much that he almost didn't recognize himself.
When they walked to the gate again, Uncle Xu greeted Li Xu from a distance.
The old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Li Xu got goosebumps from looking at it.
I didn't dare say a few more words and went to work.
Another boring day has passed.
No. 25.
Today is the day for distributing food coupons.
Early in the morning, Li Xu took a small sack from home and packed the remaining pound of milk powder.
I carried my things to the gate.
Pulling Uncle Xu aside, I whispered to him, "Uncle Xu, this is for you. Please hide it well. If I lose it, I won't be able to get it back anytime soon."
As he said that, he handed over the small sack.
Li Xu had a mysterious expression on his face, which made Uncle Xu stunned.
"What did you give me again?"
