"Third brother, can you go outside and shovel some dirt tomorrow to level the yard?"
"Ah?" Li Chen was stunned. "Is there anything uneven in the yard?"
Li Xu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You shoveled it out yourself, don't you know?"
After hearing this, Li Chen remembered it, so he scratched his head and showed an innocent expression, "I think it's okay, my sister-in-law and the others didn't say anything."
Li Xu chuckled, "They are them, I am me. I am informing you now, not asking for your opinion. Do you understand?"
He knew that it might be because Li Chen was the only one who shoveled the snow in the yard, so even though he did it like this, Hu Guilan and Li Mei didn't say anything.
But he is different. He thinks that how can you do a job without providing after-sales service?
If that's the case, all my praise just now would have been in vain.
Hearing this, Li Chen could only respond sullenly, "I understand. I'll make sure to pave the yard tomorrow."
Li Xu nodded in satisfaction, but still a little worried, so he warned, "Don't fool around there, kid. If you can't do it well, you have to keep working until you do it well, understand?"
"I know, you don't need to say more."
After saying this, Li Chen quickly ran out of the house.
Looking at his back, Li Xu couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "This stinky boy."
Then he turned around and teased Li Ju and Li Wenbai beside him until Li Jiakang and others came back.
It’s still the familiar formula and familiar operation.
They worshipped the Kitchen God as usual, had dinner, and then the Li family gathered in the house to chat.
When the time was almost up, Li Xu walked out with the cloth bag.
After a long time, he came back with a bulging bag.
Seeing so many good things, everyone was overjoyed, especially Li Mei, who smiled so hard when she saw the pile of fat.
Seeing her like this, Li Xu couldn't help but say, "Don't be silly and laugh there. Think about how to cook the beef and mutton tomorrow."
Hu Guilan's belly was already very big, and Sun Xiu had to go to work, so the task of cooking naturally fell on Li Mei.
But her cooking skills are okay for making ordinary dishes, but everyone is a little worried about her making such delicious food.
But Li Mei herself was full of confidence. "You don't need to worry about it. Just eat tomorrow."
"That's what you said. If it doesn't taste good, just think about it."
Li Mei ignored him and asked, "Mom, what if someone comes to visit us tomorrow?"
Sun Xiu smiled and said, "It's simple. Tomorrow morning, after we leave for work, just close the gate."
"Is this appropriate?"
"It's perfect, absolutely perfect. I've even thought of an excuse. If anyone asks, just say that too many people have been coming to our house these past few days to introduce you to potential partners. We're so annoyed that we've closed the door."
Li Jiakang and the others all laughed, "This is a good idea. We can use it from tomorrow until the New Year, which will save our family a lot of trouble."
After they had discussed everything, Sun Xiu and Li Mei began to pack up.
After cleaning up, everyone continued chatting, eating melon seeds and peanuts.
The next morning.
After getting up and washing, Li Chen took a shovel and went outside to shovel mud without saying a word.
When he thought there was enough mud, he put down the shovel and went into the house to eat.
Seeing this scene, Li Xu couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression, thinking that he would have to reward him with a piece of cake in the evening.
After breakfast.
Li Xu went to the Du family as usual and asked as soon as he entered the door, "Qi Wen, how was your first time playing mahjong?"
He didn't notice that the expressions of Du Ming and the others were as if they were constipated.
Qi Wen, however, shouted excitedly, "It's so fun. I was sitting at the mahjong table and didn't even notice that an entire afternoon had passed."
"I'm glad you like it. It saves you from being bored." Li Xu said with a smile on his face, "When I have a day off, I'll come over and join you for a meal."
"No problem, you can come every day." Qi Wen nodded happily.
After turning around and saying a few words to Du Ming and others, Li Xu and Du Hong walked towards the unit.
After they went out, Li Xu skillfully took her hand and showed a proud expression, "Well, your man is smart, right? He only used one trick to control Qi Wen."
"Come on," Du Hong said angrily. "What's so clever about that? Didn't you see the expressions on my parents' faces just now?"
"Huh?" Li Xu was startled, recalling the expressions of Du Ming and his wife just now, and then scratched his head. "I think there's nothing wrong, except that there's no smile on my face."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted.
If Qi Wen could behave himself, Du Ming and the others should be very happy. How could they not even smile?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?"
"Qi Wen is addicted to cards."
Hearing this, Li Xu's eyes almost popped out. "Really? Didn't she just learn how to play cards yesterday?"
Qi Wen acted very helpless. "Really? She played all day yesterday and still wasn't satisfied. She even dragged me along to play with her in the evening. We played until after midnight. As soon as she opened her eyes this morning, she told Xiao Sen that she would call her brother over to play mahjong after breakfast."
Li Xu: ...
Good job.
Didn't she get addicted too quickly?
At this moment, Li Xu suddenly thought of something terrible and asked with difficulty, "She has a card addiction, but not a gambling addiction, right?"
It’s not difficult to have a card addiction, because there are ready-made card partners.
But if you develop a gambling addiction, that can be troublesome.
Du Hong shook her head. "I don't see any signs of her having a gambling addiction. I heard that Brother Qi Wen only had a little over thirty cents in his pocket, and he lost it all yesterday. He was invited here today just for fun, with no stakes."
Li Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that she's not addicted to gambling. As for the card addiction, I think it's because she hasn't been exposed to anything other than martial arts in all these years. She suddenly tried something so interesting, so she got interested. Maybe she'll be fine in a few days."
"I hope so." Du Hong sighed.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Li Xu could only tell her some interesting things to cheer her up.
Du Hong quickly put her worries behind her and began to smile.
When he arrived at the motorcade and was about to get on, Li Xu suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
When he turned around, he found that the person calling him was Liu Gang, and he was waving at him.
Li Xu walked up to him and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, did you ask me to come over to thank me for saving your life?"
"Thanks for nothing! My big brother wants to beat me up. Do I need you to remind me of this? It would be better if you could come up with a solution for me." Liu Gang said unhappily, "I have something else to talk to you about. Come up with me."
After saying that, he got into his car first, and Li Xu followed him in.
