Everyone was shocked when they heard his words.
For those who do farm work, they can tell roughly how many kilograms of grain there are right away.
Li Jiakang was able to do this before, but he couldn’t estimate it because he hadn’t been in contact with it for a long time. He could only confirm that it was more than 20 kilograms, and he couldn’t estimate it so accurately.
Li Jiakang looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd and smiled, "We can still make a living. Go put it away."
Uncle Sun hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Mrs. Sun again.
Old Mrs. Sun asked him to open the bag and take a look.
After opening the bag, everyone saw that in addition to the coarse grains, there was also a small bag inside the big bag. When they opened the small bag, they found it was full of rice.
At this time, Mrs. Sun said, "You should take the rice back. I'll keep the rest of the coarse grains."
Sun Xiu was very anxious, "Mom, this rice is for you to eat, to nourish your body."
Old Mrs. Sun refused without hesitation, "I'm so old, it's a waste to eat this, take it back."
No matter how Li Jiakang and the others tried to persuade her, Old Lady Sun remained unmoved.
Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Li Xu stood up and said, "Grandma, please accept it. We still have some rice at home."
Seeing Li Xu's statement, Grandma Sun still refused, "Child, take this rice back and eat it. Grandma doesn't eat this."
Li Xu gritted his teeth and asked the children in the room to go out and play for a while, and then called them in later.
The little ones didn't understand why, but they did it anyway.
Then Li Xu said, "Grandma, I brought this food back. Don't worry, there will be more in the future."
At this time, everyone was surprised again and turned to look at Li Jiakang and the others.
Facing the inquiring gazes of the crowd, Li Jiakang and Sun Xiu nodded, indicating that what Li Xu said was true.
Old Mrs. Sun then said anxiously, "My child, you must not go astray."
Li Xu said with a helpless smile, "Grandma, what are you thinking? I work in the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade now, which is how I get the food. Don't worry, it's all from legitimate sources."
There was no way. Li Jiakang and the others had never thought that such a situation would happen before, and they were worried that talking nonsense would cause trouble, so they didn't say anything and could still get food.
Li Xu was at his wit's end and had to come up with the excuse he had prepared for a long time.
The reason why Li Xu wanted to work in the supply and marketing cooperative’s car team was to deal with this situation.
Even if we take out some things, everyone will think of the convenience brought by the car team's work.
I don’t let the children know because I’m worried that they will talk nonsense outside.
Li Ju and Li Chen had already been warned repeatedly by their family members, so they would not tell anyone even if they knew about it.
Uncle Sun and the others looked at each other in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. My parents are here too. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
Everyone looked at Sun Xiu and the other two again, and they nodded again.
Although they didn't know the specific source of the food, Li Xu gave them such a good excuse, so they were naturally not stupid. Moreover, Li Xu's work unit was indeed real...
Only then did everyone believe it. Old Mrs. Sun laughed and said, "Well, well, Xiaoxu is now promising."
Seeing this, Li Xu quickly spoke up, "So, grandma, please accept these. These are also our family's tribute to you."
Old Mrs. Sun said happily, "Since that's the case, then I'll shamelessly accept it."
Knowing that Li Xu and others could still get food, Old Lady Sun was relieved.
Seeing this, everyone felt very happy.
Then everyone started praising Li Xu again.
Especially when several cousins looked at Li Xu, the envy in their eyes was almost overflowing.
Sun Xiu called his two younger brothers out and talked to them for a while, then let the children outside come in again.
After a while, Sun Xiu and his two uncles came in.
I saw that my two uncles had red faces and were unsteady on their feet.
Li Xu and Li Jiakang looked at each other and had guesses in their minds.
After sitting for a while, the three of them said goodbye.
Everyone went out to see him off again.
When the three of them left, they did not forget to take the sack with them, and this time it was still held by Li Jiakang.
As they walked along the road, Li Jiakang suddenly said, "If someone asks where something came from in the future, you should keep saying this."
Li Xu knew that Li Jiakang was talking to him, so he responded.
This reason could be concealed from people outside the Li family. After all, everyone in the Li family knew that Li Xu had already started taking food from home before going to work...
But that's enough.
After walking for a while, Li Xu asked curiously, "Mom, have you told your uncles about finding a job for my cousin?"
Sun Xiu responded, "I told you, you've arranged Xiaoqiang's job, and now it's your cousin's turn. Tell them in advance so they can be happy too."
Li Xu jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid of not being able to find a job and making your uncles happy for nothing?"
Sun Xiu also joked, "With my good son here, what should I be afraid of?"
These words left Li Xu silent.
The three of them chatted all the way back home.
After dinner the next day.
Li Jiafu, Li Qiang and Qin Hua came to Li Xu's house.
When they saw the three people, Li Xu's family was quite surprised.
After all, I didn't expect it would take so long to come.
After Li Qiang entered the house, he saw Sun Xiu was also inside.
He walked up to Sun Xiu and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
Sun Xiu had already known about this matter and was mentally prepared.
Seeing this, he quickly pulled Li Qiang up and asked Li Mei to pour a cup of sugar water for the three of them.
After everyone was seated, Li Jiafu introduced Qin Hua to everyone else.
Everyone greeted each other again.
This can be considered as acquaintance.
Li Jiakang was curious and asked, "What took you so long to get here? Did you come here after collecting food in the countryside?"
Upon hearing the question, Li Qiang and Qin Hua lowered their heads.
Li Jiafu smiled bitterly and said, "I just encountered some problems. Here, this is the food that Xiaoqiang borrowed from you before he got married. I'm returning it to you now. Thank you, brother and sister-in-law." After that, he picked up the sack beside him and handed it to Li Jiakang.
Li Jiakang did not refuse and asked Sun Xiu to take the food to the kitchen.
Then he asked, "Something happened at home? Why didn't you come to inform us?"
Li Jiafu's face turned even more bitter, thinking that these people were not outsiders, and there were few people in the team who said they didn't know.
"Brother, it's nothing serious. It's just that when the Qin family collected the food this time, they also took Xiaohua's food."
"ah?"
The surprised voice came from Li Xu.
I didn’t expect that Li Jiakang guessed it right.
After hearing this, Li Jiakang slammed the table and said angrily, "The Qin family has no shame at all. They dare to bully our Li family. I will ask for leave tomorrow to go find them."
