Li Xu didn't refuse and put the coupon directly into his pocket, saying with a smile, "Okay, I'll take it first. If you need it someday, let me know."
Sun Xiu nodded, put the things in her pocket, and started helping him make dinner.
The two were busy and chatting when suddenly a figure rushed in, shouting, "Second brother, did you buy me some cakes?"
"I bought you nine pounds and put them on your bedside table. Is that enough?"
Li Chen stopped and his expression instantly became extremely excited, "That's enough, second brother, you are so generous."
"Okay, stop being so flattering and get out of here. I'm busy here."
Li Chen responded and then ran out happily.
At this moment, a voice came to Li Xu's ear, "I asked you to buy less for him, and you reduced it from 10 kilograms to 9 kilograms. What's the difference between this and not reducing it at all?"
Li Xu responded with a smile, "Of course there is. The difference is only one dollar and sixty cents."
Sun Xiu was choked and wanted to say that Li Xu spent money lavishly, but on second thought, he found that it was not appropriate to say so.
Because Li Xu can not only spend money, but also make money.
Otherwise, how did Li Xu get the food and other supplies?
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to say, "It's up to you, but I have to remind you that you are getting married next month, so don't let spending money cause discord between you and your wife in the future."
"No, don't worry."
More than ten minutes passed before dinner was ready.
The Li family members ate and chatted at the same time.
After finishing the meal and clearing the table, Sun Xiucai got down to business. She took out the watch from her pocket and handed it to Hu Guilan, saying with a smile, "Guilan, put it on."
Hu Guilan was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant. "Mom, what are you doing?"
Li Ping reacted and asked hurriedly, "Mom, you asked Xiaoxu and me for industrial coupons last night, saying you wanted to buy something big. Is this what you wanted?"
At this time, Li Ju shouted excitedly, "Brother, this is what Mom and the others bought specially for sister-in-law."
"Huh?" Hu Guilan screamed in surprise and waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't have this, Mom, you'd better take it back."
"I've already bought it, where am I supposed to put it? Hurry up and take it, I'm tired of carrying it."
Li Jiakang then tried to persuade her, "Guilan, your mother and I bought this watch specifically for you as a token of our gratitude for your contributions to our family over the years. Are you really going to refuse it?"
"Dad, Mom, I haven't contributed anything to the family in the past few years. If we really want to talk about contribution, Xiaoxu is the number one in our family. Why don't you give this watch to him and let him give it to Xiaohong later." Hu Guilan refused with a wry smile.
"Yes, give this watch to Xiaoxu." Li Ping quickly agreed.
Li Xu smiled and explained, "Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, Mom had this plan as early as a year ago when the industrial vouchers were first issued. She even came to discuss it with me. We decided on this matter then. Moreover, I bought this watch when I went out this afternoon. If you don't accept it, our intentions will be wasted."
Sun Xiu pretended to be angry and said, "Gui Lan, are you unhappy that we bought you the radio first and then the watch? That's why you refuse to accept it?"
"No, no, I really don't think I deserve this watch."
"You think it's not worthy, but we think it is." Then Sun Xiu looked at Li Ju and asked, "Xiao Ju, do you think your sister-in-law deserves this watch?"
"I deserve it." Li Ju answered without hesitation.
"Okay, then you can give this watch to your sister-in-law. She doesn't listen to us."
Li Ju took the watch and called out, "Sister-in-law~"
Hu Guilan looked at her, then at Li Ping, looking embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, Li Ping sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's continue."
Upon hearing this, Li Ju immediately pulled Hu Guilan's left hand out with a smile on her face, and then put the watch on it.
Seeing this, Li Jiakang and his wife both showed satisfied expressions. Then Sun Xiu said, "That's right. What's there to be embarrassed about with what we give? If it were the third brother, I dare say he would accept it faster than anyone else."
Li Chen's face was full of black lines. You can say whatever you want, but please don't take me with you, okay?
Hu Guilan thanked everyone one by one, then looked at the watch on her wrist and sighed, "It's a waste for me to wear this watch."
She felt that she stayed at home every day and rarely went out. If she wanted to check the time, she could just come to the living room. There was no need to wear a watch.
"It's not a waste." Li Xu joked, "Don't the neighbors usually come to visit us? Then you can show this to them and make them envy you to death."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed, and Hu Guilan was even more at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She didn't know whether her neighbors would die of envy, but she knew that if Hu Yitong's wife knew about this, she might really die of envy...
Then Li Xu chatted with everyone for a while before walking towards the Du family.
After such a long time, everyone in the Du family is quite familiar with Li Xu's visiting patterns.
He knew that unless something happened in the Du family that forced him to come, he would never come on the day he returned from a business trip.
So when he saw him, Du Sen at the card table asked, "Brother-in-law, you are taking a day off today. Why didn't you come to play cards this afternoon?"
"No time."
"What about tomorrow afternoon?" Du Sen looked at him hopefully.
Before Li Xu could speak, Du Ming said angrily, "I asked you to play cards, but you act like it's your life? Besides, do you think everyone has nothing to do every day like you? Your brother-in-law is busy, so don't bother him."
