After a moment of silence, Li Xu pondered and said, "Old Fu, how about this? I'll give you a red envelope even if you don't kowtow. How about that?"
"Who do you think I am? How could I be so shameless?" Fu Qing looked over with dissatisfaction. "I can't even kowtow, and I have the nerve to accept the red envelope?"
Hearing this, Li Xu's expression instantly became extremely strange.
You don’t think it’s shameful to kowtow and receive red envelopes, do you?
At this time he had already realized that Fu Qing was determined to continue kowtowing.
However, he still tentatively put forward a few ideas.
The result was obvious, he still couldn't be persuaded to pay it back.
The two strolled on the road for a while, then paid the bill and went back.
Watching his departing back, Li Xu raised his hand and was about to hit himself in the mouth, but when he was about to hit him, he suddenly remembered what day it was and stopped. He just cursed himself in his heart for being so mean.
If he had known that Fu Qing was really capable of doing such a thing, he would never have made that joke even if he was beaten to death.
Back home.
Li Xu had just sat down on the stool when he saw Li Wenzhe running up to him with his short legs, holding up something in his hand, a flattering smile on his face, "Dad, have some melon seeds."
Li Xu was stunned when he saw this scene. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He took the melon seeds and looked at the others in confusion, "Did the sun rise from the west today?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Li family burst out laughing. Du Hong explained with a mixture of laughter and tears, "The way you taught Fu Qing to beat the child scared him."
Li Xu understood instantly, and then looked at his eldest son with a half-smile and dangerous eyes, "So you are here to show your affection to me, kid. Actually, you don't have to worry. If I want to beat you up, I will do it directly. There is no need to do that."
Li Wenzhe felt the deep malice from his old father. He took a step back unconsciously, and then rushed towards Sun Xiu with a look of horror on his face.
It was obvious that at such a young age he already understood who was in charge of the family.
Sun Xiu looked at the little guy who buried his head in his arms, put his hand on his back to comfort him and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, the child is still so young, don't scare him all the time. It will be bad if he gets startled."
Li Xu naturally nodded in response to her words.
I just don’t know whether they will do it.
Because the Li family had too many people, everyone had to walk to the Qinghe Brigade.
The older children were allowed to walk by themselves, while the younger ones were carried or embraced by the adults.
After arriving at the place and chatting with Mr. Li and others about family matters for a while, Li Mei asked Li Jiafu, "Second Uncle, are those people okay?"
Although she didn't explain it clearly, Li Jiafu knew who she was asking about and nodded in response, "It's pretty good, but I'm still a little uncomfortable doing farm work."
"I understand. After all, we are all intellectuals." Li Mei smiled, explained to everyone, and walked out with Li Ping and Li Xu.
The three of them came to a dilapidated courtyard and knocked on the door.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses walked out of one of the thatched huts.
Seeing the three people, the other party's face suddenly showed a surprise expression, "Why are you here?"
Li Xu picked up the small sack in his hand and said with a smile, "I'll give you some food."
"Teacher Chen, won't you invite us in to sit down?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I was so happy to see you that I forgot all about etiquette." Teacher Chen extended his hand and gestured, "Please come in, all three of you."
Leading the three people to the main hall, Teacher Chen poured them each a glass of water and said, "You sit down first. I'll go call the others over."
There are four thatched houses here. Except for the main house, the other three are occupied.
Soon Teacher Chen came over with five people.
These five people were not all men, but three men and two women. They were very happy to see Li Xu and the other two, and greeted them one after another.
When they learned that the three people were there to deliver food, they were all moved and said, "I owe your family a debt of gratitude that I will never be able to repay in this lifetime."
In fact, they have long been unable to pay off their debts. From the time they came here to their current stable life, everything is inseparable from the Li family.
Li Ping waved his hand. "Whether or not we're affectionate is a matter for the future. The most important thing for you right now is to survive."
"Don't worry, even though our farm work isn't going very well, we'll definitely be able to survive."
"That's fine." Li Mei said with a smile, "Don't forget, if you have any difficulties, go to the captain and he will help you solve them."
What she said was actually to remind them that they should not only remember their own family's kindness, but also remember the kindness of the Qinghe Brigade and even the entire Tang County.
That’s right, in order to resettle these people, the entire Tang County got involved.
Two years ago, Li Mei went back to Wuhan University to warn her teacher that if necessary, she could apply to come to Tang County for labor reform.
At the beginning, people who came could be arranged to Sunjiatan, but later on it was no longer possible.
There's no other way. If we arrange so many people in one place, it will be too conspicuous.
But if they are arranged to other places, the Li family cannot take care of these people.
So Li Xu went to the Liu family and told Liu Wen and Old Man Liu about the matter. He also emphasized that it was impossible for the chaos to continue. When the environment is stable, these people will definitely be useful.
The two have been leaders for so many years and naturally have foresight. They agree with his theories and provide support with actions.
The next day, Liu Wen convened a meeting of county leaders to discuss whether or not to take a risk and give these people preferential treatment in exchange for future benefits.
The fact that he was able to hold this meeting meant that he agreed to take the risk, while the others felt that too many lice would not itch, too much debt would not worry, and since they had done so many extraordinary things, they didn't care if there was one more or one less, so they agreed.
