Then he scolded her again, "Next time, if your brother says something is valuable and tells you not to touch it, just try touching it. Do you hear me?"
Li Chen said with a sad face, "I heard it. From now on, if he says something valuable, I will definitely not touch it."
Only then did Sun Xiu nod with satisfaction.
Li Xu stepped forward and handed over the letter of introduction, "Mom, please keep it."
Sun Xiu didn't say much. After taking it, he went straight back to his room.
Next, those who need to prepare breakfast should prepare breakfast, and those who need to chat should chat.
This time was not like in later generations, where everyone got up on time for fear of not getting enough sleep.
Nowadays, most people rely on their biological clock to wake up and get up very early, so they naturally have plenty of time and don’t have to worry about being late.
Li Xu came closer to Li Chen and said, "I've already told you that if anything breaks, Mom will break your legs. Do you believe me now?"
Li Chen rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You did it on purpose."
Li Xu nodded, "Yes."
Li Chen looked at him blankly, as if he had never expected that he would admit it so shamelessly.
Li Xu said with a wicked smile, "Little brother, you should be more respectful to me from now on, understand? Otherwise, I will let you taste the iron fist of love."
"Hmph." Then Li Chen turned his head away and ignored him.
Li Xu also felt better.
He always felt that Li Chen did not respect him as the second brother enough, and he wanted to establish his authority as an older brother.
Today's achievements are commendable.
After breakfast, Sun Xiu pulled Li Xu aside again and said, "You got these two jobs. Your father and I have discussed it and decided to give you 400 yuan. But I will give you 200 yuan first. You can buy a watch. We will save the rest for you. Mom will give it to you when you get married."
Then he took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to him.
Li Xu didn't refuse and took it directly, "Thank you, Mom."
If Sun Xiu hadn't given him the money, he wouldn't have enough money in his pocket to buy a watch.
Sun Xiu also laughed, "This is what you deserve. Logically, we should be thanking you. You must have suffered a loss in this matter."
Li Xu waved his hand. "I haven't suffered any loss. I still have so much money."
"What's the use of money these days? Okay, it's getting late, let's go to work."
After saying that, both of them went to work.
"Hey, you have a watch ticket, why haven't you worn it yet? Are you short of money? Do you want Uncle Liu to lend you some?"
Li Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Liu, I would like to buy some, but I have to wait until the supply and marketing cooperative opens."
"You have money now?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
"Okay, I know you're anxious. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do right now. Go buy it first, and come back as soon as you're done."
Li Xu also responded excitedly and then ran out.
Uncle Xu at the door saw him running out and asked, "Why are you running?"
Li Xu hurriedly responded, "Uncle Xu, I'll tell you when I get back."
After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Xu went straight to the counter selling watches.
After looking at the watches inside, she chose one that she was satisfied with. "Auntie, I want this watch. Could you please help me get it?"
The salesperson inside glanced at him and asked, "Do you have a ticket?"
"I have a ticket." Then he took out the watch ticket from his pocket.
The supply and marketing clerk was also stunned. It was obvious that he didn't expect Li Xu to actually produce the ticket.
Then his attitude became more friendly. "This watch is a Shanghai brand. It costs 183 yuan. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Li Xu took out another 190 yuan and handed it over together with the ticket. "Auntie, I'm sure I want to buy it."
The salesperson took it, checked it, found another 7 yuan, and handed it over together with the watch.
Li Xu put the money into his pocket and put the watch on his hand. "Thank you, Auntie."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Then he came in front of Uncle Xu, with a smug look on his face, and showed his arm, "Uncle Xu, look at what this is."
After Uncle Xu saw it clearly, he exclaimed, "Good boy, you are really capable. Were you in such a hurry to buy this thing just now?"
Li Xu nodded, "Yes, does my watch look good?"
Uncle Xu said with a smile, "Alright, stop being so conceited. Has your uncle never seen this before? Hurry up and get to work."
It is obvious that the person he is showing off to is the wrong person this time.
Li Xu responded sullenly and then walked towards the car team.
After seeing Liu Gang, he no longer had the desire to show off.
After all, this person also has a watch.
"You bought it?"
"Yes, I bought it." After saying that, Li Xu showed the watch to Liu Gang again.
Liu Gang took one look and said, "Not bad, not bad. It's a Shanghai brand, so it's not cheap."
"Yeah, 183 yuan."
Liu Gang smacked his lips and sighed, "How expensive!"
Li Xu looked at him in disbelief, "Uncle Liu, you actually said that?"
Liu Gang smiled and said, "Why? I can't think it's expensive?"
"Yeah, I just think that considering your salary, this thing shouldn't be too expensive, right?"
"My high salary has nothing to do with me thinking this thing is expensive, understand?"
Li Xu thought for a moment, then asked, "Uncle Liu, if you think this thing is expensive, why did you buy it?"
Liu Gang answered without hesitation, "Because I can afford it."
Li Xu: ...
Although he thinks it is expensive, he has the ability to buy it.
I don't know how many people in the future hope to be able to say this...
I looked at him enviously and said, "I wish I could be like you someday."
Liu Gang glanced at him. "Like me? I wish I could get food like you. Besides, this watch is nothing to you, right?"
"Uncle Liu, you don't understand."
"Okay, okay, I don't understand. Oh, by the way, my brother asked me to ask you, if you still have these tickets, can you still eat them?"
"Hmm?" Li Xu's eyes lit up. "Uncle Liu, didn't you say that these are the only two things we can replace at home? That's a bit dishonest."
Liu Gang said unhappily, "It's true that these are the only two things we have at home, but we still have relatives and friends. Everyone's life is difficult right now, but they also have some good things at home, so I think it's better to give them out and exchange them for some food with you."
Li Xu asked curiously, "Then why didn't Uncle Liu tell me directly last night?"
"Nonsense, this is the first time you two have met, what did he say? If you want, I'll tell him when I get back."
Li Xu understood a little bit. After thinking about it, he said, "I can change it, but I can't eat too much. Besides, I have another request."
To put it bluntly, the things I get in exchange are for my family, but there are only a few people in my family. I can't collect too much and then go through the trouble of selling them myself, right?
