As soon as I entered the house, I heard bursts of baby crying coming from Li Ping's room.
The two voices came one after another, which made Li Xu's scalp tingle.
Hushing to the kitchen, Li Xu saw Hu Guilan's sister cooking. He quickly said, "Cui Fen, I heard the two children crying loudly. Go and take a look. Leave this to me."
Hu Cuifen responded, quickly put down the work in her hands and ran out.
After a while, the crying stopped. Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief and then devoted himself to cooking.
While he was cooking, he suddenly heard the noise of Li Jiakang and his men returning from the yard, so he immediately called out, "Mom, come here."
Then Sun Xiu walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"
During this period, whenever Li Xu was resting at home, he basically cooked dinner, so Sun Xiu was not surprised at this time.
"Mom, please go to my sister-in-law's room and tell Cuifen to eat here tonight and not go back."
Sun Xiu looked over with a strange look in her eyes. "We've talked about this so many times, but has she ever stayed?"
Usually, Hu's mother would go home to cook at around five o'clock, and Hu Cuifen would not leave until the Li family got home from get off work.
Because she came home late, it was inconvenient for Hu Guilan to cook. In addition, she happened to see the Li family hurriedly cooking after getting home from get off work, so she took the initiative to offer to help the Li family cook dinner.
Naturally, there was no reason for everyone to refuse.
Then Hu Cuifen discovered that the dinner ingredients prepared by the Li family were too rich. Pork was seen every other day, and the portion was not light.
As for eggs, they are a regular at dinner, almost every day.
This led to Sun Xiu and others inviting her to dinner, but she refused every time.
There was no way, she felt embarrassed to stay with the food.
Li Xu naturally knew about this, so he offered a solution. "Mom, this time you can change your approach and tell her clearly that she can either eat three meals a day at our house, or give her a few dollars a month as childcare expenses. Think about it, does she have any choice?"
He finally realized how noisy these two children could be when they cried.
He would feel bad if he didn't increase Hu Cuifen's salary.
As for the two options he mentioned, they seem to be multiple-choice questions, but in fact there is no choice at all, and you can only choose the former.
Because it is not appropriate to talk about money in this kind of matter, otherwise it will become a transaction and damage the relationship between relatives.
Besides, if you really calculate it, the Li family's responsibility to provide the other party with three meals a day must be worth at least a few dollars.
There is not much difference between the two.
Hearing this, Sun Xiu burst into laughter. "Cui Fen agreed to stay tonight?"
She knew very well that this plan would only work if Hu Cuifen agreed to stay.
Li Xu nodded and said, "I agree. My sister-in-law also said that she will ask Cuifen and Aunt Hu to help clean my room. I can just move the bedding over there after dinner."
"Okay, I'll go talk to her first, and then I'll come help you cook."
After saying that, Sun Xiu turned and walked out.
Unexpectedly, she came back soon and said directly as soon as she entered the house, "It's too late. Cuifen has already gone back."
Li Xu: ...
"It's okay. It's the same when she comes over later."
"I know, just go out and leave the rest to me."
Li Xu responded, then picked up the cooked dishes and walked towards the main room.
Li Chen was the only one in the room at this time, which made him a little puzzled. "They all went to see the children, why didn't you go?"
Li Chen curled his lips and said, "I don't want to go."
Li Xu was startled. He suddenly remembered that this boy was also indifferent when he faced Li Wenbo. Now he was like this again. So he began to look him up and down. After a long while, he hesitantly asked, "You don't like children?"
"Why should I like children?"
These words choked Li Xu.
Good boy.
You actually knocked down a whole group of people with one stroke.
Your thinking is quite extreme.
Thinking of this, he said unhappily, "You don't like children, but what will you do if you have your own children in the future?"
"It's still early when I have children."
"It's not too early. I can see that in two years at most, you'll be unemployed. Then mom will start arranging blind dates for you and urge you to get married and have children. Calculating this way, you'll have your own children in no more than four years."
In a few months, Li Chen will take the junior high school entrance exam. If he fails, he will have to repeat a year.
If he fails the exam again, Li Jiakang and others will most likely not let him go.
From this perspective, two years is too long, and more than a year is enough...
It’s not that Li Xu looks down on him, but that’s just the way things are.
Last year he was promoted to sixth grade, and he was surprised himself.
Can such a person be admitted to junior high school?
As soon as these words came out, Li Chen rushed in front of him, his eyes wide open, and his face was full of disbelief, "Second brother, what do you mean by that? Didn't you already prepare the work for me? Aren't you going to give it to me?"
Li Xu was stunned at first, then he slapped him, "You bastard, why didn't I see you have such a good memory when you were in school?"
Li Chen rubbed his head, showing no sign of anger, and then said anxiously, "Second brother, tell me first, what did you mean by that just now? Do our mom and dad know about this?"
Li Xu felt very tired having such a younger brother, so he had to explain, "The job is still yours, but this does not prevent you from getting married and having children, understand?"
