A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 313 Friendship comes from virginity

Uncle Li's family did not stop coming to the city because of the furniture business.

Especially after the cousin was assigned to the refrigerator factory by Li Xiang, the number of visits even increased.

Every time I come back, there are big and small bags. If there is meat, I will bring meat. If there is no meat, I will pick some vegetables from my own field.

As soon as the neighbors in the courtyard saw Uncle Li and Aunt Li, they all secretly praised them behind their backs, saying that they knew how to be good people.

I come so frequently, but I'm never empty-handed.

What outsiders see is Uncle Li's benevolence and righteousness, but they don't fully know Li Xiang's great kindness to his family.

The news that my cousin entered the refrigerator factory has not been revealed to the hospital so far.

Only a few close people knew the inside story, and no one made it public.

This arrangement made by Li Xiang not only completely changed the lintel of their family in the second generation, but also solved the growing worries in the minds of the old couple.

For Uncle Li and his aunt, even if they gave up their lives to Li Xiang, they still wouldn't be able to repay this kind of kindness.

The eldest aunt looked towards the door, then turned around and whispered:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how dare you smoke this now? Do you remember the poor beggar Wu Fourth Dad in our village? Now he has become a celebrity. His trade of begging before liberation is now displayed for everyone every day. Talking about the sins I suffered in the past, you said it was like this, who could it be... You said it was so."

"It's really life-threatening. According to what you said, there won't be any meat in the house from now on." Mother Li sighed and couldn't help complaining.

Uncle Li knew in his heart that it was one thing for Li Xiangjia not to be short of money, but no one had a grudge against money.

Uncle Li puffed out smoke and waved the hand holding the pipe towards Mother Li.

"Uncle, why are you still smoking this cigarette? Didn't you listen to what the child said? This dry cigarette is no better than that cigarette. Smoking too much is bad for your health. Last time I came here, I didn't give you a big one. Just smoke it. , I still have it at home." Mother Li kindly advised.

As long as Li Xiangjia doesn't dislike it, it doesn't matter if he and the old lady make more trips.

If it weren't for the relationship that the two parties have developed over the past few years, they would not want to miss you.

In the outhouse of the Li family, Mother Li and aunt Li were picking vegetables from the bags, while Uncle Li sat smoking a dry cigarette.

If the eldest son's quota is exchanged for money, and he asks for three thousand in the morning, he doesn't have to wait until the afternoon. Within a few hours, someone will come to the door to finalize it.

Not to mention these extraneous things that are not worth a few bucks.

Even smoking a cigarette is taboo, which is really annoying to me.

This job is not good for anyone, why should they give it to you?

"What's wrong? The child was afraid of taboos, so he deliberately chose the big front door. It's not a good cigarette, and it's not good." Mother Li frowned and said.

She was not angry with her uncle, but with the world outside.

So there is really no harm in moving around frequently.

"I understand the child's wishes. It's not about saving money. It's because the customs in our countryside have changed."

They had already heard from their sons that it was not possible for people in the city to stay and make money.

At the same time, she was already thinking about which child would come back first later, and sent him out to buy some braised vegetables and come back with extra vegetables.

After hearing this, the uncle had a naive smile on his face and said nothing.

The eldest aunt said jokingly: "If you don't want to eat, you won't eat. We are the only two at home now. I don't like the good food. I just sent it to the city. Let's enjoy it together." "What about us? I have said these chickens and ducks so many times that I would give some to my two children. There is no shortage of them at home. They are still apprentices and their lives are not that easy. There is also a little one in Dahai’s family. It doesn’t matter how old we are. Yes, the little one must be patched up." Mother Li continued nagging.

"You think we and I don't know what kind of nutrition Xiaobao's child lacks? You didn't give us enough nutritional supplements. Which of them can't be afforded by their salary?" The eldest aunt stopped choosing vegetables. , said angrily.

"It's not like I'm giving away money from my family, it's still something I have at home. I think my work is valued now, so I can't use up all the tickets I'm awarded throughout the year. And Xia'er, her work is popular, sometimes people force her to , It won’t work if I don’t accept it.” When Mother Li said this, although she was not showing off sincerely, she still showed off unconsciously.

This is the added value that children’s success brings to their parents.

When you are young, you should compare your own achievements. When you get older, you should start to compare your children's achievements.

However, her words did not sound harsh to the ears of her uncle and aunt.

Their children are excellent, and their family benefits from it. There is no question of whether they are sour or not.

Anyone with a normal mentality only hopes that the other person will get better and better.

Even if you don't try to keep up with others, having someone at home can give you a lot of confidence when doing things outside.

"I heard from the second brother that our family Xiang'er may need to make another move this year." The uncle's first concern was Li Xiang's promotion.

"Oh, that can't be done accurately. It doesn't matter what we said. It was upgraded once last year. Those with four pockets are not as easy as others." Mother Li quickly waved her hand and said modestly.

Then, the words quickly changed again.

She continued: "It's the project he's busy with now. It seems to be quite valued by the higher-ups. The factory in Shanghai where he went on a business trip has been losing money for many years. He just went there for two months, and how long has it been since he came back?" Yeah, I heard that I have started to make money. Anyway, I asked the kid if I could do it this time, and he tried to prevaricate me. He just said that I would have to wait and see what happens next. He said so, how could I dare to say for sure in front of you? Well, oh, I can’t say it.”

"I heard this, it's OK. Our child is successful at whatever he does. Why don't we give him a promotion? Compare merit. Who can beat him? Whose child is like ours, and is shaken by the boss? Twice." The eldest aunt didn't care whether Mother Li was really humble.

Anyway, she was sure that Li Xiang would be promoted this year, and her confidence was even greater than that of Li's own mother.

Uncle Li also nodded and agreed with his aunt's opinion.

But the problems Li Xiang encountered here were not as smooth as his family thought for him.

In the conference room, more than twenty project-related personnel were having a meeting.

Li Xiang had just turned over the first few pages of the information in his hand, and the content inside made him instantly angry.

He threw the information on the table forcefully, and it was rare for him to get angry directly at work.

And most of the people have never seen this side of him.

"Why don't you listen? How many times have I told you that you must use the best refined steel? Isn't it difficult to understand this? You just can't bear it. How many of you here are old people who have been working with me in the past? Well, have I always emphasized that if you want to get ahead of the curve, you have to be willing to dig in? There is nothing to hesitate about a project like this that is already half successful."

In the conference room, the atmosphere became silent because of Li Xiang's anger.

After a while, one of them boldly raised his hand and tried to explain:

"Li Ke, we can understand that the product uses good materials. After all, the cost is there, but once it is used in the research and development of the machine, our production capacity, you..."

boom.

In response to this explanation, there was a loud noise as Li Xiang slammed the door and left.
