Li Ping reminded, "Your mother's family."
Hu Guilan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and angrily slapped him several times, "In your eyes, am I so ignorant that I don't know what I can and can't do?"
Li Ping quickly grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Why are you so angry? I'm just asking."
"Are you asking?" Hu Guilan suddenly raised her voice. "I think you're mocking me."
"No, no, absolutely not. If you don't believe me, I swear to heaven. I know you wouldn't let your parents take a stake. I'm just curious why you didn't ask them to contribute some capital and make some money."
Upon hearing this, Hu Guilan became even angrier. She tried to pull her hand away, but failed. So, she used her other hand to pinch him, gritting her teeth and saying, "You still dare to say you didn't mean it? Xiaoxu dragged us down, and if I bring my parents along, what kind of person would I be? Tomorrow I'll tell everyone what you said, and let them see if I've wronged you."
Li Ping's face turned green. What would happen if his family knew about this?
It’s easy to tell that the family will stand on the side of Hu Guilan, the hero of the Li family.
He ignored the pain in his body and quickly apologized, hoping that Hu Guilan would give up the idea.
Hu Guilan refused to give in and insisted on asking her family to judge the case.
There was no other way, Li Ping could only use his trump card. He let go of his hand and turned over to press on it. Soon the wooden bed began to creak.
What Hu Guilan can figure out, Li Jiakang, Li Chen and others can also figure out.
So they all chose to keep the matter secret and not tell anyone.
...
Du Hong was a little angry when she heard that Li Xu didn't want the Du family to pay, but she still patiently asked the reason.
Li Xu did not explain it in detail, but just gave a brief explanation and then promised to help the Du family in the future.
After listening to this, Du Hong was very satisfied and stopped pestering him.
The next day, county leaders held a meeting to discuss reform and opening up. A deputy county magistrate surnamed Li, who did not want to reveal his name, said at the meeting that the higher authorities planned to relax business restrictions, and other leaders agreed with this statement.
The leaders were worried that the move would be too big and attract attention from higher-ups, so they decided to do a small-scale experiment to test the waters.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the news was spread that they could set up stalls and do business in the market.
It’s no wonder that people in Tang County are so bold. The county didn’t issue any documents allowing them to do business, but they dared to do it just by hearing some news, whether it was true or not.
Within two days, the market was filled with stalls of all sizes.
Although these stalls sell inconspicuous little gadgets, they have attracted many customers.
Seeing that people were so enthusiastic about doing business, the county relaxed some restrictions and allowed breakfast to be sold outside the market.
The last day of the Gregorian calendar in 1978 happened to be a Sunday, so office workers and students all had a day off. Coincidentally, Li Xu was also on vacation at home that day.
The Li family had already discussed it the night before and decided to change their taste today and have breakfast on the street.
When we got to the street, we saw people everywhere, and the stalls were packed with people.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xiu couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression, "Let's buy something to eat?"
This proposal was passed unanimously by everyone.
After returning home to get pots and pans, everyone returned to the street and then set their sights on a stall selling soy milk and rice cakes.
Li Xu and Li Chen relied on their strong bodies to squeeze through the crowd.
The two bought all the remaining items on the stall, but found that it might not be enough, so they went to other stalls to buy some breakfast.
Back home, Sun Xiu distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone while sighing, "This food is really expensive. I think I should eat out less in the future."
To be honest, this breakfast was indeed expensive, costing more than ten yuan in total.
But you have to know that this breakfast is enough for more than 20 people.
Sun Xiu felt a little distressed and thought it was not a good deal, but Li Xu thought the price was acceptable.
The prices of ingredients such as soybeans and rice are already quite high, not to mention the labor and time spent on making them into soy milk and rice cakes, which are also worth some money.
"Mom is right. We really should eat less." Hu Guilan agreed, then instructed, "Hongtao, go get the sugar from the cupboard."
The stalls selling soy milk provide sugar, but you have to pay extra.
The Li family has so much sugar that no one wants to eat it, so naturally they won’t waste money on it.
Li Xu felt great drinking the sweet soy milk and eating the slightly sweet rice cake.
Just as he was enjoying his breakfast with a comfortable look on his face, a voice suddenly came from his ear, "I don't want to drink this bowl of soy milk anymore, who wants one?"
Li Xu could tell that it was the voice of his youngest son Li Shaoyuan.
Then Du Hong's voice rang out, "Why don't you drink it?"
"Too much sugar, it's too sweet."
"There's still soy milk in the pot. If you add a little, it won't be so sweet."
"I don't want to drink sweet drinks anymore. I want to try something salty."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone who was originally concentrating on eating looked at him at the same time, their eyes looking at him as if he were a heretic.
Li Xu snorted coldly, "Think carefully, you little bastard. If there's leftover sweet soy milk, there will be people who want it, but if there's leftover salty soy milk, no one will drink it."
Li Shaoyuan was confused.
I just want to try the taste of salty soy milk. Why are you so hostile to me?
You know what, this kid is just as rebellious as his father. When he came to his senses, he said directly, "If no one wants it, I'll stuff it into my stomach even if I have to."
Li Xu's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a dangerous light.
