Li Ping only gave common items as gifts, so even if he met Li Jiakang, he would not ask any more questions.
Because everyone is pretty much prepared...
Li Xu showed an embarrassed expression, "Okay, I will learn more from big brother in the future."
Li Ping was a bit amused and confused. "What's there for me to learn? I have no money or tickets, so I can only follow the crowd."
"Go away, just follow the crowd. If you really stand out, that would be trouble." Li Jiakang scolded, "If you really want to send it, you can't do it in front of so many people. You can send it quietly."
"Yes, yes, Dad is right. I will do as you say from now on." Li Xu agreed repeatedly.
At this time, Li Ju ran up to him, raised her little head and asked, "Second brother, can you help me buy something?"
"Okay, what do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, second brother, please wait for me for a while."
Then Li Ju turned around and ran out of the main room.
She came back soon with a small cloth bag in her hand, which looked much bigger than the sachet.
Seeing this thing, everyone was shocked. Li Xu quickly asked, "Little sister, why did you bring your purse?"
That’s right, that small cloth bag is Li Ju’s personal purse.
Although Li Ju is young, she has saved a lot of money.
In the past, when Li Jiakang and his wife gave Li Xu and others pocket money, they would give her a cent or two.
She had no place to spend it, so she had to save it.
Moreover, she kept all the New Year's money for herself, and Sun Xiu never took it away. She even made this cloth bag for her to hold the money.
Li Ju happily handed over the purse, "Second brother, Xiao Sen is getting married, and I have to give him a gift, but I don't know what to give him, nor do I know what I can buy with the money I've saved, so I'm sorry to bother you."
Good job.
These words really stunned Li Xu and others.
I didn't expect such a young child to have such thoughts.
Just as everyone was about to speak, Li Jiakang glared at Li Chen, who was almost cowering, and scolded him, "Look at your little sister, then look at yourself. You always call me big brother, but why are you so silent now?"
Li Chen secretly groaned. When Li Ju said this just now, he had a premonition that he was going to be unlucky, and sure enough, he was scolded.
So I answered cautiously, "Dad, I would like to buy it, but I don't have money."
This answer made Li Jiakang even more dissatisfied. "No money? Then where does your little sister get her money?"
Li Chen responded with a grunt, "She had no place to spend it, so she saved it."
"You're right. You have places to spend your money, but you don't spend it on anything serious. You've spent all that money on picture books, right?"
"Um."
Li Jiakang was almost laughing with anger. "How dare you agree to this? Will buying so many comic books be useful for your studies? I'm telling you, if you dare to buy that stuff again, I'll show you how I'll punish you."
"My second brother used to buy a lot of them, but his studies weren't that great either. Why didn't you say anything to him?"
Li Chen felt a little aggrieved. He was not the only one who did this, so why were they saying that to him?
Li Xu didn't bother to argue and slapped him on the head. "Why, do you have any objections?"
Seeing his unfriendly expression, Li Chen swallowed and answered decisively, "No."
"That's all right, isn't it? Just listen to what our dad says and stop talking nonsense." Li Xu didn't bother to pay attention to him. After turning around, his expression instantly became friendly. "Little sister, take the money back. I'll buy an extra gift for Xiao Sen and tell him it's from you, okay?"
"No, my mother used to say that spending your own money shows thoughtfulness." Li Ju refused without even thinking.
Everyone looked at Sun Xiu at the same time.
Sun Xiu was very confused, "Did I say that?"
She said so much that she couldn't even remember what she said, but unexpectedly, some of her words were recorded by Li Ju.
"I told you." Li Ju nodded. "Second brother, take the money. My arms are tired from lifting it."
Hearing this, Li Xu quickly took the purse, and then was startled, "Little sister, how much money is in your purse? Why is it so heavy?"
"I don't know. I haven't counted it. Anyway, all the money I've saved since I was a child is in it."
Li Xu immediately became interested, "How about I count for you?"
"good."
After all the money in the bag was poured out, everyone was shocked. Hu Guilan was particularly dumbfounded. "Even before I got married, I didn't save this much money."
Li Xu couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, you're exaggerating. This money only looks a lot. In fact, most of it is only one or two cents. It only adds up to a few yuan. It won't be more than ten yuan at most."
You have to know that Hu Guilan was 20 years old when she married Li Ping. Could it be that she didn’t even have ten dollars in her pocket?
"Not at all. At that time, the total amount of money I saved was only twelve yuan and forty-eight cents." Hu Guilan took out a coin folded into the shape of a star from the pile of money and said, "Look at how much this is."
Li Xu took a closer look and was stunned for a moment. How could it look like a ten-yuan note?
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Sun Xiu take the little star in her hand and asked, "Xiao Ju, where did this little star come from?"
Li Ju tilted her head and thought for a moment, then answered with certainty, "My eldest sister folded it for me."
Li Xu et al: ...
Now everyone understood that the money must have been given to her by Li Mei.
So I asked, "Didn't she ask for the money back?"
"No, my elder sister folded several stars for me and said they were for me to play with."
Hearing this, Li Xu and others began to rummage through the pile of money.
Then find the six little stars again.
After seeing their denominations clearly, Li Xu and the others didn't know what to say.
Nothing else, these stars add up to almost twenty yuan...
Thinking about the string of numbers Hu Guilan just mentioned, there is really no comparison.
After coming to his senses, Li Xu grabbed a handful of coins and placed them in front of Li Ju, "Little sister, this money is enough."
Since Li Ju wanted to express her gratitude, he could only take some money symbolically, and if it was not enough, he would fill in the gap himself.
Thanks to his good reputation, Li Ju chose to trust him, "Okay, second brother, please pack up my money again."
Hu Guilan pinched her little face and teased her with a smile, "Little sister, sister-in-law is out of money now, can you lend me some?"
"Sister-in-law, if you need it, just take it. You don't have to return it."
This made Hu Guilan very happy, and she quickly took her in her arms and kissed her several times.
Unexpectedly, Li Chen seemed to be inspired and said in the same way, "Little sister, why don't you give some to the third brother? The third brother also wants to buy a gift for Brother Sen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiakang kicked him and said, "You bastard, if you dare to hit on your little sister again, I will beat you to death."
