Li Xu laughed immediately. "Aunt Hu, I appreciate your kindness, but forget about it. My mother said she will make the new clothes."
"Your mother works during the day and has to do laundry at night. How can she have the time to make new clothes?"
"My dad will take care of the laundry."
At this point, Aunt Hu couldn't force it, so she could only say, "Okay, if you need any help in other areas, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Li Xu responded, said a few more words, and then took Fu Qing to the Du family.
...
The next few days.
The subdistrict office arrested four Feng Shui masters, all of whom were arrested on the same day and released the next day.
Apart from the fact that they and their families were frightened when they were arrested, it did not cause any waves in the county.
Li Xu knew that this kind of thing would happen frequently before the commissioner's body recovered, but he didn't know which unlucky guy would be affected next time.
During this period, Du Lin returned to the army. Before leaving, he invited everyone in the Du family and Li Xu to a high-end restaurant for a meal.
After he left, Du Ming and the others' mental states improved significantly, and they even smiled more often.
As for the Li family, the only thing worth celebrating is that the Li Hongtao brothers are not so noisy anymore.
Hu Cuifen moved back to her own home, but she still came to help take care of the children during the day.
After Li Ping moved back to his room, Li Xu still lived in the guest room.
Because he felt that moving from place to place was too troublesome. If he moved out now, he would have to come back in more than a month. It would be better for him to live in this house until he got married.
At around nine o'clock that evening, Li Xu returned home exhausted.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Chen coming over with a grin on his face and trying to take the cloth bag from his hand, which made him feel a little strange.
You know, since he joined the car team, the number of times Li Chen greeted him when he came back from business trips can be counted on one hand, especially in the past year, not even once.
Thinking of this, he handed over the cloth bag in his hand and asked with a smile, "Third brother, you are so attentive, what are you holding back?"
Li Chen chuckled, but before he could say anything, Li Ping took over the conversation, "Xiao Xu, you really misunderstood him this time. He did something great and is waiting for you to reward him."
"Big things?" Li Xu was stunned. "What big things can he do? Besides, why should I reward him for doing something big?"
At this time, Li Ju came over and whispered, "Second brother, someone wanted to bully me, and third brother broke his arm."
Upon hearing this, Li Xu's face instantly showed an anxious expression, "Little sister, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"fine."
Li Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted Li Chen on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "You did a good job, kid. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"pastry."
"How many?"
"You buy it if you like."
"Okay, if anyone bullies me again in the future, you'll do just this, okay?"
"Don't worry, I know everything without you telling me." Li Chen responded without thinking.
Sun Xiu came over, slapped him on the head, and said unhappily, "Hurry up and put the bag down, go to the kitchen and bring the food over."
Li Chen was naturally very motivated because he got the benefit. He quickly put the bag on the stool and ran out.
After he left, Sun Xiu reminded him, "Xiao Xu, don't buy too much for him. Just enough will do."
"Mom, don't worry. Expensive pastries are only 1.6 yuan per pound now. I wouldn't mind buying him ten pounds."
Since the drought, the price of pastries has plummeted. Considering Li Xu's salary, it is just a piece of cake.
Besides, Li Chen did such a great job this time, how could we not reward him well?
"Ten kilograms is too much. He's taking a lot of advantage from us."
Li Xu sat on the stool, pulled Li Ju in front of him, and responded with a smile while spanking her, "This kid is really smart. Mom, what did you buy him?"
"I bought him several pounds of candy, and your eldest brother bought him a lot of picture books. Even so, he wanted to write to Xiaomei and ask her to send back a reward as well."
Good job.
Li Chen has become rich overnight.
Li Xu was about to speak when he saw Li Chen walk in with food, so he swallowed what he wanted to say and said, "Third brother, tell me what happened later."
"Okay, you eat while I talk." Then Li Chen put the food on the table and slowly began to tell the story.
It turned out that ever since Li Ju beat the two boys to tears last time, people often challenged her to prove her strength.
Children also have to save face, so most of the people who come to challenge are the same age as Li Ju, or at most one year older than her.
How could they possibly defeat Li Ju, who practices martial arts?
All the challengers were beaten.
Nowadays, even if children lose a fight, they will not seek revenge on others, let alone if they are the ones who take the initiative to challenge others.
But who would have thought that two days ago, he encountered a boy who did not follow the rules. After being beaten, he called his fifth-grade brother over.
Li Ju saw that something was wrong and ran straight to Li Chen.
After Li Chen understood what happened, he beat up the fifth grader.
Li Chen thought the matter was over, but what he didn't expect was that after a while the other party actually brought a few people to beat him up.
In order to avoid getting hurt himself, he attacked ruthlessly and accidentally broke the other person's arm.
After listening to this, Li Xu quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, then touched Li Ju's little head and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, you know to run away if you can't win."
Li Ju showed a lovely smile and said crisply, "I definitely know what you taught me."
Hearing this, Li Xu didn't care about eating anymore and burst into laughter.
Sun Xiu and the others asked, "Xiao Ju, do you know what we are teaching?"
"Know."
Everyone immediately showed a satisfied expression.
After laughing, Li Xu asked, "Mom, have the child's parents come to visit?"
"Of course I did. I even gave him two dollars."
Li Xu smacked his lips. "That's too much. In my opinion, fifty cents is enough."
"After all, he's just broken an arm. I can't give him fifty cents. Besides, it's already very cheap."
I remember that two years ago a child’s new clothes were torn. Although it was not Li Chen’s fault, it was also related to him. In the end, Sun Xiu even paid the child one dollar in compensation.
In comparison, this price is indeed cheap.
Thinking of this, Li Xu said nothing more and continued to eat voraciously.
At this moment, Sun Xiu seemed to remember something and said to Li Ping, "Boss, give me the industrial vouchers in your hand later. I need to buy something."
Li Ping was stunned. "You want to buy something big?"
Ever since the family bought a radio, they haven't used their industrial coupons. Over the past few months, the industrial coupons accumulated by Sun Xiu and his wife were only insufficient for buying big items.
