Li Xu thought about it in his mind, then nodded, "Okay, Uncle Liu, I'll go and bring you food tonight."
This time, Li Xu’s food reserves were almost emptied.
Fortunately, he could still sign in and out quite a lot every day, which made him feel at ease.
Liu Gang nodded, "Okay."
At 9 o'clock in the evening.
Li Xu felt that the time was almost up, so he took two cloth bags from home and walked out.
The food was taken out near Liu Gang's home.
After moving to Liu Gang's door with great effort, he knocked on it.
Then Liu Gang hurriedly walked out of the house.
"Uncle Liu, please help me get it." After saying that, Li Xu pointed to the cloth bag next to him.
Liu Gang nodded, said nothing, picked up one of the bags and walked into the house.
Entering the main hall, Li Xu found that only Liu Gang was home. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Liu, where are your wife and children? Why haven't they been seen in the two times I came here?"
"They are not at home. They are sleeping at my mother's house."
"Isn't this your home? Why don't you sleep inside? Did you have a fight?"
Liu Gang was speechless. "What are you thinking about every day? If it weren't for you, I would be sleeping over there too."
Li Xu: ...
After all this time, is it still my own problem?
So he was too embarrassed to ask any more questions and pointed to the two bags on the ground, "Uncle Liu, there are a total of 107 kilograms of fine grains in here, please check."
Liu Gang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "I can tell at a glance that you weren't a good student before. How did you calculate so much?"
Li Xu shook his head. "It's not that much. Did you forget that I have to give you half a pound of commission for each item?"
"That's not right. The total weight of the items is 102 kilograms, and the referral fee is 2.5 kilograms. Where's the extra weight?"
"Uncle Liu, you miscalculated. The referral fee is 5 jin, which is just right."
Liu Gang was shocked and asked, "How can the referral fee be so high?"
Li Xu explained, "Not many, there are only 10 things in total."
After thinking about it, Liu just reacted, "You mean one piece of cloth counts as the same?"
"Um."
Liu Gang quickly waved his hands, "How can you calculate it like that? No, no."
Li Xu said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, these two bicycle tickets are calculated separately, they are the same."
Liu Gang said angrily, "That's different. If that's the case, why don't you just calculate the referral fee based on the meter? What will people say about me if this gets out?"
Li Xu also laughed and said, "I'll just charge by the piece. Besides, no one else will know. Okay, Uncle Liu, don't worry about this. Tell me when I'll come to pick it up."
Liu Gang immediately understood.
This is Li Xu giving him a benefit...
So I didn’t say anything more and just kept it in my heart.
Then he checked the grain again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took out an envelope and said, "Here are four tickets. For the cloth, come back tomorrow night."
Li Xu nodded and took the envelope. "Okay, Uncle Liu, I'll be leaving first. You should get some rest early."
Liu Gang stood up again and walked him out the door.
Then after putting the food away, he went back to the house to rest.
The next morning, Li Xu did not mention this matter.
After dinner, Li Xu told everyone, "Wait for me to come back in the evening. I will have a surprise for you then."
Everyone looked confused.
Only Li Jiakang said directly, "What's the matter? Did you get meat again?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Xu with shining eyes.
Li Xu shook his head. "It's not meat."
Everyone immediately showed a look of disappointment.
Li Mei then asked, "What is that food?"
Li Xu was speechless. "Why do you think it's food?"
Li Mei said as a matter of course, "We have so many people in our family, what else do we have besides food?"
The others followed suit.
In their view, food is no longer a surprise.
But it was for everyone, and apart from food, they really couldn't think of anything else.
Seeing them like this, Li Xu also revealed a mysterious smile, "You guessed wrong, it's not food. You'll know when I come back in the evening. Don't worry, I promise you'll be happy."
Li Chen yelled, "Brother, what time in the evening are you talking about? You can't make us wait until midnight."
Li Xu glanced at him and said, "Go away. If you don't want to wait, you won't get a share."
Seeing this, Li Chen didn't dare to retort directly, and could only mutter quietly, "That's how it is."
At this time, Li Ju ran to Li Xu's side and pulled his clothes, "Second brother, I can't hold on that late. Why don't you call me in the middle of the night? It will be considered as my waiting, okay?"
Seeing this clever girl, Li Xu hugged her and said, "Don't worry, it will be 10 o'clock at the latest."
Li Ju nodded, "Then I can insist. Second brother, can you secretly tell me what the surprise is? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Li Xu looked up at everyone, then smiled and said, "Little sister, second brother said it was a surprise, you will know in the evening."
When everyone heard what Li Xu said, they all looked disappointed.
Li Xu didn't tell Li Ju, let alone tell them.
It seems that we can only wait.
Then everyone chatted and played together.
But every once in a while someone would ask Li Xu about the time.
Finally, after countless inquiries, Li Xu couldn't help but say, "Don't keep asking. I'll be out at 9 o'clock."
Everyone suddenly quieted down.
Then Li Chen asked again, "Second brother, what time is it now?"
Li Xu: ...
“Puff.”
Li Xu looked in the direction of the sound.
Then he saw Li Mei covering her mouth and looking at him embarrassedly.
"Sister, is it really that funny? I think you asked the most questions just now, right?"
Li Mei immediately said confidently, "It's because you didn't say anything that made me feel itchy, so I kept asking. Besides, ask Big Brother and the others if they want to know."
Li Xu looked at Li Ping again.
Li Ping also nodded, "Xiao Xu, I want to know too."
Seeing the two of them taking the lead, the others all expressed their desire to know.
Li Mei said with a smug look on her face, "What do you think? I'm right, right? Why don't you just say it directly?"
Seeing them like this, Li Xu laughed immediately and said, "If I don't tell you, just wait."
Seeing how eager they were to know, Li Xu found it interesting. He suddenly felt that being asked about the time all the time was not unacceptable...
Everyone: ...
So after several inquiries, Li Xu finally walked out under everyone's expectant gaze.
Wait until he leaves.
Everyone in the room began to discuss.
Sun Xiu also asked, "Could it be that what Xiaoxu prepared this time is really not edible?"
Li Mei hesitated and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Xiaoxu already said it's not for eating."
