"Grandpa Liu, this is truly a coincidence. My sister originally hoped to return to work after graduation. Most majors are assigned by the government, and only students in a few majors can choose their own career paths. Economics is one of them, so I let her choose this major."
Mr. Liu suddenly laughed, his old face as white as a chrysanthemum. "I was just saying it casually, you don't need to explain."
It has been almost twenty years since Li Mei took the college entrance examination. If someone said that Li Xu had predicted that such a day would come at that time, Mr. Liu would be the first to express his disbelief.
After Liu Gang confirmed the amount of money, he put it in his pocket and jokingly said, "If I had known your business was so profitable, I would have asked you for interest."
"Uncle Liu, I dare to give it to you, but I don't know if you dare to accept it."
"If your Grandpa Liu agrees, I'll take it."
"It seems that I can't give you this money. Grandpa Liu will definitely not agree." Li Xu pretended to sigh.
As soon as these words were spoken, the three members of the Liu family burst into laughter.
Liu Wen will retire in two years, and the Liu family will still have to rely on Li Mei for care and support. Even if Li Xu offers to pay interest, the Liu family will not accept it.
After laughing, Liu Wen quickly counted the money and put it aside. "Xiao Xu, the money is fine. Once your debt is paid off, I'll get you an IOU."
He walked behind the desk, bent down, opened a drawer, took out three sheets of paper and handed them to Li Xu.
Li Xu took it and looked at it, confirming that it was written by him. He folded it and put it in his pocket, and sighed, "The old saying that being debt-free is a relief is true. After paying off my debts, I feel much more relaxed."
He feels uncomfortable when he owes someone money. Even if it is only one cent, he will always think about it.
This has nothing to do with being rich or poor, it’s just that I simply don’t like it.
And it's not just him, the Li family is the same.
"Your business is so profitable, you'll have an easy life in the future." After a teasing, Liu Wen asked, "Xiao Xu, you just said that whoever can improve the economy will be promoted faster. Do you think my family can first assign some people to go out into business, and then have them use the profits to reinvest, thereby helping those in politics to get promoted?"
Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
It was indeed not in vain that I had been a leader for so many years. I just gave you a promotion, and you were able to find an opportunity for promotion so quickly.
"Yes, but there is one thing you need to pay special attention to."
"Which point?"
"Those who engage in business should do business, and those who engage in politics should engage in politics. On the surface, the two lines should not interfere with each other, otherwise they will not go far."
"Openly?" Liu Wen pondered for a moment, then hesitated. "Is this to avoid giving others a handle?"
"right."
Knowing the operation strategy, Liu Wen immediately made a decision, "Xiao Xu, can you tell me the details of the situation outside?"
Li Xu understood what he meant and grinned, "Of course, but Uncle Liu, I still have to go to Uncle Xu and repay the money later. I'll come to pay New Year's greetings in a few days and tell you the details."
"Okay, I'll let Xiaoxue listen to it too."
Knowing that Li Xu still had to pay back other people's money, the Liu family did not keep him long. They chatted for a while and let him go when he said goodbye.
Then Li Xu went to Uncle Xu's house and Xiao Jianping's house to repay the money.
Uncle Xu and the others were very happy to see him and kept chatting with him.
It was almost nine o'clock when Li Xu returned home.
At this time, the Li family members who had gone out to repay the debt came back. Li Xu took out the IOU and showed it to everyone, then threw it into the brazier in front of him.
Seeing this, Sun Xiu showed an extremely bright smile, "If we pay back Xiao Hong's family, we will have paid off our debt completely."
Because it is Du Hong's parents' home, Li Xu can't just go there casually. He will go there specifically with his wife tomorrow night.
Li Jiakang was equally delighted. "Once we've paid off our debts, we'll go visit our ancestors' graves and thank them properly."
This was something everyone had already agreed on, so naturally no one objected. Only Li Ping asked, "Should we invite Second Uncle and his family when we visit the grave?"
Li Jiakang thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I'll go to the factory tomorrow to ask for leave and talk to your second uncle while I'm at it."
He wants to take a long vacation this time and go to Li Jiafu tomorrow to give money to Li Jianjun.
The reason he invited Li Jiafu's family was because he felt that Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun wanted to open a restaurant and they needed to ask their ancestors for blessings for their business to flourish...
Li Ping nodded and said, "Mom, Xiaoxu is back. Is it time to distribute the things?"
"Yes, you guys sit here first, I'll go back to the house to get it." After saying that, Sun Xiu quickly stood up and walked out.
Soon she came over with a stack of Hong Kong dollars.
She called her grandchildren over and gave each of them ten Hong Kong dollars.
The children didn't recognize the Hong Kong dollar and turned it over and over in their hands. Li Ping's daughter, Li Ruike, asked crisply, "Grandma, what is this?"
"This is the local specialty your father and his family brought you."
"Ah?" The children were all stunned, staring blankly at the Hong Kong dollars in their hands.
They really couldn't connect this thing with local specialties.
Just as they were about to ask, their mother came up to them and took the toy in their hand.
The children looked confused and said, "Mom, this is for us."
Hu Guilan was the first to perfunctorily say, "This thing is useless, it's just a few pieces of paper. Your father and his family's business is far away from us, and there are so many people in our family. If we bring a gift to each family member, they won't be able to take it, so we use this instead."
