Chapter 42

Naturally, Li Xu refused to take advantage of others for nothing, so he hurried to the kitchen, packed some fruits and vegetables, and chased them out with a big bag.

Fortunately, Zhang Kun didn't walk very fast. When Li Xu went down, he only rode his bicycle for 30 meters.

"Brother Zhang Kun, wait a minute!" Li Xu shouted from behind while chasing him.

Zhang Kun heard the sound and stopped the car in surprise.

Li Xu stepped forward and hung the bag directly on Zhang Kun's handlebar: "They are all worthless things, you take them home to eat."

Zhang Kun opened his mouth, and then said in a low voice: "There are no children in the family, so I really can't eat. I just thought that your family has a lot of children..."

Li Xu smiled: "Be careful on the road, I wish you a happy new year in advance."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhang Kun stood where he was, looking at Li Xu's back with complicated eyes.

In the evening, Li Yong didn't come over until after eight o'clock.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Sister, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving to death..."

Li Xu was a little strange: "Working in a restaurant, can you still be hungry?"

Having said that, I went to the kitchen: "I'll make you a noodle, and I'll make you another stir-fry."

Li Yong said helplessly: "Today's New Year's Eve, there are quite a few people ordering meals. I'm afraid you will wait for me and come over without eating after you are busy."

He sat down under the dining table, and then saw the two boxes on the ground with sharp eyes: "Where did they come from? It's not cheap."

Ji Yuanyuan suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, so he leaned forward and said, "Uncle Zhang Kun brought it over this afternoon, saying that there are no children at home who can't eat it."

Hearing that it was sent by Zhang Kun, Li Yong looked a little surprised.

"Uncle, does Uncle Zhang Kun have no children? Why is he still unmarried at such an old age?" Ji Yuanyuan asked in a childlike manner, but Li Yong didn't think much about it.

Li Xu also said: "I guess it's not easy to see our mother three, so I deliberately made an excuse."

Li Yong sighed: "My master was married and had a daughter. He and his wife had a very good relationship, and we were very envious at that time. However, about three or four years ago, when my wife and the child were crossing the road, they were caught The car crashed, and the child was out of breath on the spot, and my wife spent a week in the hospital before..."

Speaking of what happened back then, Li Yong's tone was also heavy, "I've seen that child before. He was very beautiful and very polite. He was only five years old when he died."

Li Xu is also a person with children, so he can naturally understand what it is like to lose a child.

Thinking of the expression on Zhang Kun's face when Ji Yuanyuan was questioning him in the afternoon, Li Xu felt bitter for a while.

"It's not easy for your master." She sighed.

"Who says no? The reason why he takes care of you so much is not only because it is not easy to see you, but also because of Yuan Yuan." Li Yong said again, "When he sees Yuan Yuan, he probably thinks of his daughter."

Ji Yuanyuan froze for a moment, but he didn't expect the reason to be on him.

Li Xu quickly cooked the meal, and the topic was covered.

After dinner, Li Xu went into the bedroom, and quickly came out with a handkerchief.

She walked up to Li Yong, and carefully opened the handkerchief, "I have also saved some money these days, I will pay you back part of it first, and you go to the bank to deposit it."

In recent days, she has earned a lot.But he didn't dare to take out all the money, for fear that Li Yong would become suspicious.

She took 500 yuan from it and put it in front of Li Yong.

"Forget it, sister, I'm not in a hurry to use it, and I'm saving it for you. When I use it in the future, you can give it to me." Li Yong said, "However, your business is not bad. Ah, I saved 500 yuan in such a short period of time, it’s okay.”

Li Xu didn't dare to say more, but said: "I still have a few hundred yuan left here, you can take these first, and I will give you the rest next year."

Seeing that Li Xu didn't seem to be lying, Li Yong hesitated for a while before taking the money: "Okay, whenever you need money, just tell me."

Li Xu nodded, "Don't worry."

It was getting late, Li Yong slept at home at night, and helped Li Xu move all the vegetables to the vegetable market the next morning before leaving.

After the young year, Ji Ziang kept talking about Qin Mucheng.

But I kept talking about it until the Chinese New Year, and Qin Mucheng didn't come.

It is estimated that it will take a year to come.

Li Yong was on vacation on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, but he didn't go home immediately after the holiday. He stayed with Li Xu until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and then returned home with Li Xu.

Li Miao had been on vacation for several days, and together with Liu Guihua, cleaned the house.

The small courtyard of the Li family suddenly became lively with so many people.

There is no New Year's Eve this month, so the next day is New Year's Eve.

In the morning, Li Xu boiled the paste, and Li Yong stepped on the stool and pasted couplets on all the doors of the house, and pasted the word "Fu" on all the big and small places in the house.

Ji Ziang couldn't wait to take out his new clothes, and after putting them on for a while, Li Xu forced them to take them off.

In the afternoon, Liu Guihua took Li Xu and Li Miao to the kitchen, busy preparing dinner for the evening.

Li Yong took the three children to the supermarket, bought some fireworks and firecrackers, and waited to play them at night.

On the street, there is a taste of the New Year everywhere.

Although there is no money in this era, everyone attaches great importance to the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the evening, it was Li Yong who did the cooking.

Braised carp in brown sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried fresh shiitake mushrooms, fried meat with mushrooms, leek eggs, and a shrimp.

There is also a bottle of sweet water per person.

These were all things that he couldn't eat on weekdays, and Ji Ziang's mouth was full of greasy food.

It's a pity that there is no TV at home, otherwise the family would gather together and watch the Spring Festival Gala at this time, which would be very lively.

The Li family is happy and harmonious, but the Ji family is the complete opposite.

At the dinner table, seeing Xu Xiuhua's face, no one dared to speak, and Feng Yue shrank her neck even more.

Ji Jianjun, the boss of the Ji family, smoothed things over: "Okay, let's eat first, and we will talk about these things in the next year."

However, as soon as Ji Jianjun finished speaking, Xu Xiuhua suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table with a 'snap'.

The children of the eldest and the second family are all grown up, and they have been mentally prepared since just now, so they were naturally not frightened.

But Shen Lingxue was still young, she trembled after being frightened by the old lady's voice, and threw herself into Shen Mei's arms.

Shen Mei hugged her distressedly, and gently comforted her.

Xu Xiuhua became angry when she saw the mother and child. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Jianguo: "You are doing a good job, and if you say you don't, you won't do it? Go ask the people in our village, who doesn't envy you Got a good job?"

Ji Jianguo was in a state of distress. Since what happened last time, Director Qin didn't have a good face when he saw him now.

But he didn't dare to say this to Xu Xiuhua, otherwise Xu Xiuhua might rush to work to find Director Qin.

At that time, he will lose his face and lose his hair.
