Sun Xiu looked at them with amusement, "Gui Lan gave birth to this girl on her third pregnancy, and you've already had two, so maybe the next one will be her."
Du Hong gave birth to her eldest son Li Wenzhe in 1964, and her second son Li Shaoyuan at the end of last year. The second son was born less than half a year ago. For the sake of her health, she has to wait for a while before getting pregnant.
So the earliest the baby can be born will be in the second half of next year.
Although it takes a long time, Li Xu can still accept it as long as he can get what he wants.
So he said with a smile on his face, "Then I'll take your good words."
Then everyone chatted for a while before going back to their rooms to rest.
It is worth mentioning that although the county allocated a house to Li Mei, and it was not much smaller than the Li family’s house, she never lived there and still lived with Li Ju as before.
As for Li Wenbai, Li Hongtao and Li Botao, they moved to Li Chen's room and were taken care of by him.
the next day.
As soon as I arrived at the office, Master Song came over and said, "Xiao Li, it's your turn to transport the goods alone today."
This kind of thing has happened frequently in the past two years, and Li Xu has become accustomed to it, so after learning the destination, he took Hu Yitong with him and set off directly.
The car drove out of the county town for a long distance when Li Xu and his companions suddenly saw a man standing on the side of the road waving at them.
Seeing this, Hu Yitong was delighted, "I can make some extra money again."
Li Xu glanced at the man again, then said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say whether it's extra income or not."
"Hmm?" Hu Yitong's smile froze instantly, and he quickly asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you mean?"
"You'll understand in a moment."
Li Xu drove the car in front of the man. He did not get out of the car. Instead, he asked him from the seat, "Comrade, is there anything you need?"
The man looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but his clothes were rather worn and had many patches on them.
He replied with a smile on his face, "Comrade, I'm going to the city. Can I get a ride?"
Hearing this, Li Xu's eyes narrowed instantly, "Of course you can, but it will cost money."
"No problem. How much?"
"Two."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Yitong looked over in astonishment.
But he didn't say anything, and soon regained his composure, waiting for the man's answer.
The man's face changed, as if he was about to get angry, but he finally held it back and forced a smile, "Comrade, this price is too high, can you lower it a little?"
Li Xu shook his head, "No surrender."
Then he asked Hu Yitong to close the car window and pretended to leave.
The man quickly shouted, "Okay, two dollars, but I'll pay when I get to the city."
Hu Yitong stopped closing the window and showed an expression of disbelief.
There is only one thought in my mind: Is this person mentally ill to agree to such a high price?
Li Xu said calmly, "There's no such rule. You always pay first and then get on the bus."
The man took out the banknotes and coins from his pocket distressedly. After counting, he found that he only had one dollar and sixty-seven cents. So he begged, "Comrade, this is all I have in my pocket. Can I give you the rest when we get there?"
To be honest, Li Xu didn't expect that this man would actually take out the money.
This made him wonder if he had guessed wrong.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Yitong, take the money and let him get in the car."
"Let him sit in the driver's seat or in the back?"
They go to the city to transport goods, and now the rear compartment is empty, so you can not only sit but also lie down.
But Li Xu was worried about the man, fearing he might shoot him from behind, so he could only say, "We can't let him waste so much money and let him sit in the driver's seat."
Hu Yitong thought it made sense, and after thinking about it, he asked, "How about I go to the back and let him sit in a more spacious place?"
If he sat there, Li Xu would be in the way, so he agreed without thinking and whispered, "Hold the gun."
Hu Yitong responded, then opened the door and got out of the car.
After the man got in the driver's seat and the car started again, Li Xu asked, "Comrade, there's no village or shop in this place. Why are you waiting for the car here?"
"No choice, I just happened to walk here."
"Are you going to the city on business or going home?"
"go home."
"Where were you on business trip before, Tang County or Deng County?"
Deng County and Tang County are adjacent to each other, and you have to pass through that place to go to the city.
The man's eyes flickered as he replied, "It's not convenient to disclose."
Li Xu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye with a funny expression on his face. "I didn't ask you what you were going to do, I only asked where you came from. Can't you tell me that?"
"cannot."
Li Xu smacked his lips and said nothing more, but kept observing him out of the corner of his eye while driving.
After more than an hour, Li Xu suddenly said, "Comrade, this doesn't look like your first time riding a car."
Hearing this suddenly, the man seemed to be unable to respond, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer, and just stood there in a daze.
Seeing him like this, Li Xu had no choice but to repeat his words.
The man finally came to his senses, but instead of answering, he asked, "How did you know?"
"People who are riding in a car for the first time will feel very uncomfortable even if they don't vomit. You don't look uncomfortable at all."
“Does it matter if it’s your first time riding in a car?”
"It's important." Li Xu smiled happily. "If you've taken a bus before, you should know that a ride to the city usually costs only a few cents, or at most one dollar. I want to know why you agreed to the price of two dollars?"
