Everyone could understand what he said. Given Zhao Zhaodi's personality, it wouldn't be surprising even if she became the head of the family.
What's more, they felt that Sun Yizhui had nothing that could compare to others.
Even Sun Xiu, the eldest aunt, had no objection. "Whoever of them has the ability can be the head of the family. As long as they can live a prosperous life, that's all that matters."
This statement was also recognized by everyone.
...
The next day at noon, when Li Xu and others were eating in the cafeteria, Xiao Jianping glanced around and asked quietly, "Lao Su, does your family still go to the black market?"
Su Weidong nodded and said, "Go ahead. What if we get lucky and get some food someday?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jianping immediately revealed a bitter expression. "I don't want to go anymore. I haven't even grown a hair in such a long time, and I can't sleep well. But my mom and the others don't agree."
"That's not the case. If you can't exchange it for food, you can't exchange it for money either?" Li Xu also interjected.
He would believe it if he said he couldn't exchange it for food, but it was unlikely that he couldn't even exchange it for wool. After all, it was a scarce commodity, so it was still possible to exchange it for some money.
Xiao Jianping shook his head. "Old Li, you don't know. These things in our family can't be exchanged for anything except food."
"It's the same in my family. Besides, neither of our families is short of money. We can't buy food even if we have money now. I heard that some people in the black market want to exchange small yellow croaker for food but can't get it. So my family thinks that there will be a greater hope of exchanging things for food." Su Weidong also said.
Li Xu was surprised. "Someone is starting to bid for small yellow croaker now?"
"Don't even mention the small yellow croaker. As long as you can provide food, even the big yellow croaker can be exchanged."
Li Xu was now concerned, but he said, "Don't worry, take your time. What if you get it?"
In fact, he was just talking, he knew that there was basically no possibility of changing it.
Although his relationship with the two of them was good, it was not good enough to the point where he was selling food to them.
If the two of them really reach the point where they can no longer hold on, it would be no problem for him to help them out.
But they are far from there yet.
Then Su Weidong also gave some advice, but they had no control over whether Xiao Jianping would listen to him or not.
Besides, what Xiao Jianping said doesn’t count in this matter. We have to convince his family.
After lunch, Li Xu returned to the car and took a nap. When he was about to fall asleep, Liu Gang came up.
Li Xu was now in high spirits. "Uncle Liu, have you been to the black market recently?"
"Yes, but not many times. The black market is a bit chaotic now, so I don't want to go anymore."
"Huh?" Li Xu was stunned. "Uncle Liu, why haven't I heard about this? Why is the black market in such a mess?"
"How long has it been since you went to the black market?"
Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "It's been almost two months."
The last time he went there was only August, and Li Mei had not yet gone to college. It has been more than a month now, and there is nothing wrong with it being almost two months.
Liu Gang's face showed a trace of relief. "I thought you understood. After all this time, you still haven't gone. Be careful when trading on the black market in the future, especially with food. Don't use it if you can avoid it. If you must use it, bring your gun and keep your eyes open."
"Uncle Liu, please tell me in detail."
Li Xu didn't quite understand, but he could tell that something must have happened during this period, and it was related to food.
"A lot of people are trading gold and antiques for food on the black market these days. Did you know about this?"
"I know, this is normal. These are all the rich people have left. What else can they use if not to exchange for this?"
Liu Gang glanced at him and said, "You know shit! There are many fishermen here. If a fish takes the bait, what do you think will happen to it?"
Li Xu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
Fortunately, I was careful and asked a few questions, otherwise I would have become a fish and where could I seek justice?
I felt something was not right when I heard Su Weidong and the others mention this matter just now. After all, the black market is not a clean place. They are so loudly announcing that they want to exchange small yellow croaker for food. Aren’t they afraid that others will rob them?
Thinking of this, his heart moved again, "Uncle Liu, is the black market also involved?"
He suddenly thought that these people dared to do this in the black market. He would never believe it if they said there was no black market involved.
"Good, you finally have a brain. The black market is definitely involved in this matter, but I don't know how much of it is involved." Liu Gang showed a relieved expression and continued,
"Actually, there are quite a few people who genuinely want to trade, but it's not easy to tell. The key is that it's not just the black market that's trying to bait people, even some random people have this idea. You never know if the person you're trading with is good or bad. If you have something you want, just tell me and I'll ask someone for you."
Li Xu said unhappily, "You're talking as if I'm clueless. You don't need anything else. You just need to get the receipt for the sewing machine. It's been months, and there's no news at all."
Liu Gang spread his hands and said, "You can't blame me for this. I really don't have it. I've already told them to contact me as soon as they find the ticket."
Li Xu was also speechless. "Then I'll just wait and see if I can get it this year."
Liu Gang said "hmm" and narrowed his eyes.
The two chatted while basking in the sun.
After dinner, Li Xu went to Du Hong's house.
I didn't expect to meet Du Qing's family again.
He was also speechless.
Your family can't even get enough to eat, and aren't you tired of walking around with your children every day? Can't you just stay at home and save some money?
In fact, he also understood that the Du Ming family should have helped them, and Li Xu had no objection to this. Anyway, he only gave the Du Ming family a little food and would not give more. How to arrange it was their business.
But you should save the food after you get it. Why are you coming here more often than I am now?
The most important thing is that Du Qing speaks in a sarcastic tone, which really affects my mood.
As soon as he saw Li Xu, Du Qing started to get snarky. "Li Xu, why do you come here so often? If you miss me every day, you might as well get married now."
Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable hearing this?
Li Xu felt he needed to teach her a lesson. Just as he was about to start a counterattack, he heard Du Ming slam the table and scold him, "Du Qing, I've made it clear to you. Xiaoxu is my future son-in-law. He's welcome to come every day. It's not your turn to say these things."
Ignoring Du Qing's suddenly dark expression, Yang Li added another stab, "Du Qing, do you have nothing to do at home every day? If you're really bored, why not clean up your house?"
Hearing this, Du Qing couldn't help but ask, "Dad, Mom, do you mean you don't welcome us?"
Her husband Mu Shan also had a sullen look on his face, obviously not expecting these two to say such things.
