"Old Li, don't sleep anymore, wake up."
After being woken up, Li Xu yawned without opening his eyes and said, "Why are you here so early in the morning instead of sleeping at home?"
"Are you sleepy? It's almost one o'clock now. How can it be called morning?"
Hearing this, Li Xu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. After seeing the time on his watch, he quickly picked up his clothes and put them on. "I overslept, Lao Fu, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Last night he once again experienced the power of two children crying together.
The key point was that they cried in bursts, so Li Xu didn't fall asleep until midnight, and naturally overslept.
"It's okay. I was bored at home, so I came to play with you." Fu Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll have something to eat."
"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time."
After getting dressed, Li Xu walked into the yard, greeted Hu's mother, and then began to wash up.
After washing up, he asked Fu Qing to sit in the main room for a while, while he went to the kitchen to serve the food.
Seeing the big bowl of white rice in his hand, Fu Qing couldn't help but smack his lips, "Lao Li, does your family eat this every day?"
Not only during the drought, but even now the Li family avoids outsiders when eating. It can be said that apart from their own relatives, no one knows about the Li family's food situation.
The same was true for Fu Qing. This was the first time he had seen Li's food in these years, so he was naturally very surprised.
There is no way. The current food prices are still very high. Although the Fu family is in a good condition, they dare not eat white rice every day.
Since Li Xu dared to take it out, he must have thought of a countermeasure. He smiled and explained, "There are so many people in my family. If we eat this every day, I can't afford it even if I sell my house. This is specially prepared for me by my family. There is no other way. When I go out, I have to make do with coarse grains. I only eat good food when I rest."
He did not lie to Fu Qing. When the motorcade was away from home, they often ate coarse grains and only ate fine grains in very rare circumstances.
Fu Qing showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I thought so, okay, hurry up and eat, then we'll go out and play."
Li Xu nodded and immediately started to eat voraciously.
After dinner, the two were walking on the road when Fu Qing asked, "Old Li, why is the person you call Aunt Hu still cleaning up your dishes?"
At first he thought the other person was a guest of the Li family until he saw this scene.
How could a guest work in the host’s house?
"She is my eldest brother's mother-in-law. She came to help take care of my eldest sister-in-law. She usually cleans up my eldest sister-in-law's dishes. Maybe it has become a habit, so she thought of cleaning up for me."
Hearing him mention Hu Guilan, Fu Qing instantly understood, and then an envious expression appeared on his face, "I wish my wife would also be pregnant with twins."
"Then Uncle Fu and the others will have to worship you as a great hero, right?"
Li Xu was teasing him, but he didn't expect Fu Qing to shamelessly agree. "More than just offering it up, it's because my family doesn't have a family tree, otherwise they would have opened a separate page for me."
"According to what you said, wouldn't your first ancestor who was buried on the problematic mountain be removed from the family tree?"
pay off:...
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a response, so he had to change the subject and said, "Let's talk about the current situation. Where should we go to play?"
"Huh?" Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked over in disbelief. "You son of a bitch, you come to play with me without even deciding where to go?"
Fu Qing chuckled, "I've been waiting for you to think about it."
"Since you haven't made up your mind, can you tell me why you're taking me in this direction?"
"Isn't this the path you led?"
Li Xu couldn't help it any longer. He immediately stretched out his right hand and grabbed his collar with a "kind" smile on his face. "Tell me again, who led the way?"
Seeing his expression, Fu Qing couldn't help swallowing his saliva and decisively admitted his mistake, "It's me, it's me, I led the way, Brother Xu, I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
Li Xu laughed and said, "Give me a reason to spare you."
Fu Qing's brain raced, and he finally came up with an idea. "We've only just walked a short distance, there's still time to change it. Do you think this excuse is acceptable?"
Li Xu took a look around, then said thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll let you go for now. Now, you quickly find a place where you can play, otherwise you will be charged with both crimes together. Do you understand?"
He now discovered that Fu Qing's "Crouching Dragon" attribute was innate in his bones, not because of his young age.
Even though Fu Qing is several years older than Du Sen and his wife is pregnant, to be honest, he is not as calm as Du Sen...
Fu Qing nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, "I know, I know, Brother Xu, let go of your hand, I'll take you there."
Li Xu loosened his collar and said calmly, "Think quickly."
Fu Qing's brain was spinning rapidly, and he finally came up with an idea. He clapped his hands and shouted, "I got it! We can go to the countryside to play. I heard that some brigades built boats specifically for fishing last year. It's been so long, I think they've caught most of the fish in the river. It's time to take a break. We can pay to rent a boat. What do you think?"
These words left Li Xu silent.
It's March now, just a few days after the Lunar New Year, and you want me to go with you to the river to enjoy the cold wind?
Putting aside the question of whether they can row or not, is it appropriate for two grown men to row a boat?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Fu Qing thought he was shocked by his idea, so he showed a proud expression, "Old Li, is my idea good? Are you satisfied?"
Li Xu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I am very satisfied. You can go by yourself."
Fu Qing's expression froze instantly, and he quickly asked, "If you are satisfied, why don't you go?"
"I'm afraid of the cold."
After a moment of silence, Fu Qing said decisively, "It was you who didn't go, so you can't blame me. We're even now."
Li Xu was too lazy to argue with him. After all, standing here all the time was not a good idea. "Okay, we're even. Lao Fu, if you can't think of any other ideas, let me tell you one. Do you want to play cards?"
"Playing cards?" Fu Qing was startled at first, then his face showed a wary look and he asked tentatively, "Are you addicted to gambling now?"
"Can one or two points be considered gambling?" Li Xu said unhappily.
Fu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Xiaohong's house. Her brother's wife is addicted to mahjong. Several of his partners are almost sick from playing. It's just right for us to rescue them."
After saying that, Li Xu walked towards the Du family, and Fu Qing naturally followed closely behind him.
Walking down the street, Fu Qing showed a puzzled expression, "What's the big deal? If you don't want to play, then don't play. How can you play to the point of vomiting?"
Li Xu sighed, "This is what Xiaohong's parents asked. As long as there are people at home who want to play cards, they have to chip in, including the old couple."
"Did that woman save Xiaohong's parents' lives?"
Li Xu: ...
