Soon, several days passed.
During these days, Li Xu also stopped trading with the man in the black market.
The main reason was that the man felt that the food he had exchanged was almost enough, so he stopped.
Li Xu was also quite satisfied. These days, he used food to exchange for several antiques and jewelry, including a few "yellow croakers".
Until the transaction was completed, neither of them knew the other's name.
Liu Gang brought Li Xu another work indicator, but nothing else.
In particular, Li Xu couldn't get the sewing plane ticket he wanted, so Hu Guilan and the others could only sew it by hand.
In addition, Sun Erzhu has also started working.
Sun Xiu and his partner not only received countless gratitude again, but also gained a new candidate for the elderly care...
The relationship between Li Xu and Du Hong is gradually deepening, and holding hands has become a common occurrence.
It is impossible to go further.
Two nights ago, Li Xu wanted to go up and kiss her.
Not only did he not get the kiss, but he was also kicked hard by Du Hong...
He was grimacing in pain, but didn't dare say anything.
That evening, not long after everyone finished dinner, there was a knock on the yard door.
Li Xu walked out and saw that it was a couple, but they looked familiar.
I just couldn't remember who it was, so I hesitated and said, "You..."
Before he could finish his words, the woman spoke up, "You are Xiaoxu, right? I am Guilan's parents."
The thin white man also greeted him.
Li Xu finally reacted and quickly called out, "Uncle, aunt, please come in."
Li Xu had only met them a few times. The last time they met was when Li Ping got married, so he really didn't think of them for a while...
But he did remember that Hu Guilan's father was called Hu Yang.
Well, the main reason is that the name is easy to remember.
Hu Guilan and Li Ping immediately stood up and called out, "Dad, Mom."
Others also came forward to greet him.
After the two of them sat down and drank two sips of the sweet soup, Sun Xiu asked curiously, "In-laws, what brings you here today?"
Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Gui Lan sent some food back a few days ago, so we wanted to come and say thank you. We had planned to come a few days ago, but Old Hu hasn't been feeling well these days, so we've been putting it off until now."
Upon hearing this, Hu Guilan showed an anxious expression and hurriedly asked, "Dad, are you okay? Why did you suddenly get sick? How are you now?"
Li Jiakang also said, "My dear relatives, we are all family. There is no need to thank or not. Health is the most important thing."
Li Ping said, "Yes, Dad, there's no need to come all the way here."
Hu Yang smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm fine now. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come here."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Guilan kept saying, "That's good, that's good, Dad. If you get sick in the future, you must see a doctor in time."
Hu Yang waved his hand and said, "How can a grown man be so delicate? Just hold on and it will pass."
This is the norm for people nowadays.
When you get sick, you just endure it and only go to the doctor when you can't bear it anymore.
In addition, people are now malnourished and hungry, so many people can no longer hold on...
Mrs. Hu said angrily, "You're still being stubborn. You're just trying to hold out against this fever. If you hadn't suddenly fainted, I wonder how long you could have held out."
Everyone: ...
Hu Yang, exposed, chuckled twice and quickly changed the subject. He then took out a few large black tens from his pocket and handed them to Li Jiakang. "My dear relatives, I know this money can't buy all the food, but it is at least a token of our appreciation. Please keep it."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang's face changed and he frowned, "We are all family, I don't want this money."
Everyone was shocked by the harsh tone.
Li Ping felt something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, pulling Hu Yang's hand back. "Dad, our family doesn't want this money. Go out and ask around. I haven't heard of anyone sending food to relatives and then accepting money from them."
Hu Yang suddenly realized what was happening, put the money in his pocket, and said with an apologetic smile, "My dear relatives, please don't be angry. This is our fault for not considering the matter carefully. We won't give you the money."
Mrs. Hu also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, please don't be angry, we are wrong in this matter."
Hearing this, Li Jiakang relaxed his brows. "Well, that's right. If we accept it, how will we live if the news gets out?"
Sun Xiu said, "My dear relatives, I am sending you food because of the friendship between our two families, not for this little money."
Hu Yang's face also turned red, and he smiled bitterly and said, "My dear, we really didn't think it through. We are really sorry."
Li Jiakang laughed immediately. "It's okay. It's all good now. Besides, this is all we can do to help you. We can't do anything more."
Seeing the smile on his face again, Hu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My dear relatives, you have helped us a lot. This amount of food plus what we have at home is enough for us to eat this month."
When he spoke of the latter part, a look of sadness appeared on his face.
Mrs. Hu did the same. She sighed and stopped talking.
Hu Guilan looked anxious, but did not dare to speak.
Sun Xiu pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, my dear relatives. We are doing well. We can provide you with some support every month. Although the amount is not much, we will not let you starve to death. When the disaster is over, everyone's life will be better."
This was also discussed by Sun Xiu, Li Xu and others.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yang and the other two were ecstatic and asked excitedly, "In-laws, are you telling the truth?"
Sun Xiu and Li Jiakang both nodded, "Really, don't worry."
Hu Yang was so excited that his voice was trembling. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much...you guys."
Then he stood up and bowed to the two of them.
Fortunately, Li Jiakang, who was standing by, was quick to pull him back and said, "No, no, we can't accept this gift."
The others also hurried forward to help Hu Yang to his seat.
Then tears began to flow from Huyang's eyes.
Mrs. Hu, who was standing by, had already started crying.
Everyone could understand their current mood, so they could only keep persuading them.
Fortunately, the two of them only cried for a short while.
Hu Yang wiped his tears and put on an awkward smile, "I'm sorry, I was so excited just now that I couldn't help myself."
Li Jiakang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's human nature."
Others followed suit.
Hu Yang continued, "My dear relatives, honestly, if it weren't for you, our family really wouldn't know what to do."
