After hearing these words, Li Xu and others knew that he was determined, so they looked to Sun Xiu for help, hoping that she would persuade him.
Unexpectedly, after thinking about it, Sun Xiu said thoughtfully, "Praying more is not a bad thing."
This sentence reflects her attitude and supports Li Jiakang's approach.
Seeing the old couple say this, Li Xu and others looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and started eating silently.
Not long after dinner, Liu Yunxiao and his family came over.
Li Xu made a cup of hot tea for the two adults and asked as he handed it to them, "Yunxiao, has your father told your uncle about the room division?"
"Yes."
"What did your uncle say?"
"He said he would think about it and then hold a meeting tomorrow to ask other leaders for their opinions."
Li Xu nodded and changed the subject.
After a while, Li Mei started teaching as usual.
Unexpectedly, when I was teaching halfway, someone suddenly pushed the door open from outside.
When they saw each other, they were stunned at first, and then they all came forward to greet each other, even Li Mei.
"Second uncle".
"Second Grandpa".
That’s right, the person who came was Li Jiafu.
When Li Jiakang asked him why he came, he glanced at Li Mei and looked embarrassed.
He knew that outsiders came to the Li family to study every night, but he didn't expect that they would still come even though the New Year was almost here.
With outsiders present, he didn't know what to say.
Everyone noticed his actions, and Liu Yunxiao and his wife immediately said goodbye.
Li Jiafu hurriedly stopped them and said, "You don't have to leave. I want to talk to Xiaomei for a few words. I'll be done with it."
After hearing what he said, Li Mei asked Xiong Xue and others to go back to their seats and read for a while, then took Li Jiafu outside and closed the door.
When Li Mei arrived at the yard, she was about to ask something when she saw Li Jiafu put his right index finger to his mouth, signaling her not to make a sound, and then signaled her to go out with him.
Li Mei followed him out of the courtyard, confused, and then she heard two voices coming from her ears, "Director Li."
The sudden sound frightened Li Mei.
When she reacted and saw the face of the person who made the noise, she said angrily, "I was scared to death. Captain Yu, Accountant Han, why are you here?"
These two people are the captain and accountant of the Qinghe Brigade, and Li Mei has dealt with them many times.
Captain Yu rubbed his hands, looking a little embarrassed. "Director Li, I'm so sorry to have frightened you. Thanks to your care this year, our Qinghe Brigade's grain production has been so high. Since the New Year is almost here, the team members pooled their money to buy you a New Year's gift. I hope you don't mind."
Accountant Han, standing by, handed over the sack in his hand and whispered, "Director Li, we originally wanted to give you some fatty meat, but then we asked your uncle, and he said you don't like fatty food, so we took a pork leg, some ribs, and some lean meat."
After Li Mei became the director of the fertilizer factory, she took good care of Qinghe Brigade and Sunjiatan, and allocated more fertilizer to these two places than to other places.
Because of this, both places had a bumper harvest this year, and the grain output was much higher than that of other brigades.
Li Mei knew very well that the two people in front of her came to give her gifts not only to thank them for their care this year, but also for the distribution of fertilizers next year. She hoped that she could do the same.
She didn't rush to express her opinion, but looked around. After confirming that no one was there, she turned around and walked towards the yard. "You guys come in first. Let's talk in the yard. There are guests in the house. Please speak quietly."
The group arrived at the courtyard, speaking in very low voices. Li Mei looked at Li Jiafu and asked, "Second Uncle, are you coming to the city for this?"
Before Li Jiafu could say anything, Captain Yu answered first, "We both thought it wouldn't be appropriate to go directly to your house, so we asked your second uncle to come along. Now it seems we were right."
When Li Mei saw Li Jiafu nod, she didn't say anything more and asked him to help move the things to the kitchen.
Hearing this, Captain Yu and Accountant Han couldn't help but smile.
When Li Jiafu walked into the kitchen, Li Mei said, "Captain Yu, my grandparents still live in Qinghe Brigade. Even if you don't bring my second uncle with you, I will still take care of you. I appreciate your kindness this time, and you don't need to send me any more in the future."
The smile on Captain Yu's face disappeared instantly. Li Mei was so calm when she said this that it was hard to tell whether she was angry or not, nor was it hard to tell whether what she said about not having to send it anymore was true or not.
If this is misunderstood, it will be troublesome in the future.
Just as Captain Yu was pondering the meaning of his words, Li Jiafu came out of the kitchen with an empty sack and handed it to Accountant Han. "We're done. Let's go."
Captain Yu and the other man responded and said goodbye to Li Mei.
Li Mei asked, "Uncle, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
"No, I'm not going to sit here anymore. I'll just go into the house and tell them and leave."
Hearing him say that, Li Mei had no choice but to send Captain Yu and the other two out of the courtyard gate first, let them wait at the intersection, and then went into the main hall with Li Jiafu.
When they learned that Li Jiafu was leaving, everyone tried to stop him.
But he just wouldn't agree.
There was no other way, so the Li family had to send him out of the hospital.
Back in the main room, Li Mei continued teaching.
She didn't tell Liu Yunxiao's family what had just happened until they left.
After hearing this, Li Jiakang showed a dissatisfied expression. "This Yu guy, in such a cold weather, not only did he want to endure the cold himself, but he also had to drag your second uncle along. As for your second uncle, he doesn't know how to refuse at all."
"Second Uncle and the others want to live in the team. How can he refuse?"
"So what? Does that guy named Yu dare to make things difficult for him?" Li Jiakang grumbled.
You know what, I really don’t dare.
