Chapter 302: Grace to Hao Again

"Old man Xu, I'm getting more and more jealous of you, what should I do?"

"Cold salad!" Xu Lao blew the tea foam, took a sip of tea, and once again felt that the Xu family didn't know how much incense they burned and how many Buddhas they worshipped in their previous life in order to get Xu Lijuan, a well-behaved, intelligent, sensible and filial granddaughter!

Glancing at Xu Lao, who was relieved, Fu Lao only felt that his heart was more sour, but in the near future, Xu Lijuan would become his granddaughter-in-law, and he, a grandfather, could naturally enjoy Xu Lijuan's filial piety, so that he could suppress the envy, jealousy and hatred that were about to erupt, and once again restore the unfathomable and profound appearance of Pingsuli.

It's a pity that Xu Lao is an out-and-out old fox, how can he not detect what Fu Lao thinks in his heart? However, right now, Xu Lao is immersed in the dream of which clothes to wear, which accessories to wear, and what snacks to carry tomorrow, and then to show off in front of his friends, and he has no time to pay attention to Fu Lao's psychology of "saying that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes".

Alas, I never thought that an old man like him, who had half of his body buried in the ground, could still worry about what clothes to wear every day.

It's such a sweet burden.

If Fu Lao knew what Xu Lao was thinking, it is estimated that he would no longer be full of envy, jealousy, hatred and other feelings and dragged Xu Lao's arm to roar, so that Xu Lao could understand how "born in happiness and not knowing happiness"!

……

Because there is an old Fu who fights with Xu Lao regardless of time and place, the Xu family's dinner that night was so lively, and they couldn't get into the argument between the two old men at all, and they could only regard themselves as invisible Xu Ankang, Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan, who all got what they wanted from the information revealed by the two elders intentionally or unintentionally. I can't help but look forward to such an argument when the two are old and three, so that these juniors can do their best to learn the essence of it, and then apply it in life, and adjust it at any time according to the actual situation, until this characteristic has been integrated into their own blood and become a part of their body.

But, anyway. Whether it's Xu Lao. Fu Lao is still very satisfied with this dinner, and even Xu Lao is rarely looking forward to Fu Lao's next dinner, just because Fu Lao is here. Xu Lijuan may make one or two more meat dishes with a heavier taste......

Well, at this time, Xu Lao has long forgotten that when Xu Lijuan cooks, she will also cook one or two meat dishes with a heavy taste, but it will limit how much Xu Lao eats.

After dinner. Xu Lao and Fu Lao went out for a walk together, and Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi also found another direction to press the road. Only Xu Lijuan was sent away by everyone with the excuse of "just finished the exam and rested early".

So, Xu Lijuan, who was lazily leaning on the head of the bed, casually took a novel placed at the head of the bed. While reading it, she spit out the clichΓ©d dialogue and plot in the book, and she couldn't help but open her eyes anymore when she heard Jingdong, who was lying on her lap and closed her eyes, and said with extreme dissatisfaction: "I said." Xiaojuan, you can read the novel. Don't comment while watching, and spit from time to time, okay? was commented on by you like this, and suddenly felt that the TV series and novels I used to chase were full of thunder points, and I couldn't watch them anymore, what should I do? Isn't that the last bit of entertainment that passed my time away?! ”

"Yo~" Xu Lijuan closed the book in her hand and said jokingly: "Ding Dong, it's hard for you to finally wake up and realize that the TV series and novels you watched before are full of mines and bugs, and they can't stand any scrutiny at all?" ”

"The so-called novel comes from life, but it is higher than life." Ding Dong rolled his eyes, "Who do you think doesn't know that the plots of 'Prince Charming', 'Sparrow Becomes Phoenix', 'XX President', 'XX Killer' and 'XX Agent' described in novels and TV are all fake?" Isn't it because there is no zΓ i in real life, which is so cruel that it makes people feel cold, so they pin their hopes on TV and novel plots, fantasize about being the heroine in it, and talk about a vigorous love with such a cool and crazy male protagonist, and experience a vigorous love that is cared for and pampered by a rich and handsome man in the palm of his hand. Or cry and laugh with the protagonist in it, so as to vent all the negative feelings caused by the injustices encountered in life, maintain a healthier mind, and continue to fight for your future with a hundredfold spirit! ”

"Hmm...... Well, there is some truth in what you say. Although Xu Lijuan is a scholar, it doesn't mean that she is the kind of nerd who "doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads sage books", and finally read these novels in Sun Manxue's intentional or unintentional actions, and it is precisely because of this that in her previous life, she believed in Sun Manxue's "love words" so much, and reluctantly used them in the pursuit of Lin Haocang.

And the following events also confirm from the other side that these novels that are too exaggerated to have no three views are really the best way to destroy people......

However, such people are a minority after all, and most of them still rationally separate novels from reality, and do not put their spirit on those ethereal storylines, so Xu Lijuan touched Ding Dong's head: "Then you can enjoy these thunder dramas slowly, I won't accompany you." ”

Ding Dong slapped Xu Lijuan's fingers that were messing up on his head, and said angrily: "Don't you know that your head can be broken, and your hairstyle must not be messed up?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Lijuan spread her hands, her face full of innocence, "You are just a cute little kitten, what do you want such a cool and handsome hairstyle?" Or did you have a little girlfriend when I didn't know it, so you have to look your best at all times? ”

"What nonsense!" Ding Dong bared his teeth, and showed his sharp, and under the light, his claws that were so bright that they could definitely dazzle people's eyes: "This meal can be eaten indiscriminately, and words must not be said indiscriminately, such as I engraved the word 'loyalty' on my soul, and I am always worried about when your merchant level will be upgraded to a grade again, how can it be the kind of stupid and cute little cat who eats and sleeps every day, and then bites his tail and plays!" ”

"Well, I was wrong." Xu Lijuan patted Ding Dong's head soothingly, and nodded with satisfaction when Ding Dong squinted. He quietly twisted Ding Dong's smooth hair into a small petal that soared into the sky, and then nodded at the plane trader with a smile and said, "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot to talk to Hao." "By the way, let's see if I can trade the 500,000 catties of vegetables, fruits, grains, dried meat and other items that I bought in L Province a few days ago, so that I can empty the system space as much as possible, and when I travel to L Province and other places with Yu Jiayi, Lin Yuwen and Li Yingxue a few days later, I will buy some things to refill the space by the way.

"Humph!" Ding Dong glanced at Xu Lijuan. Finally. It was because Xu Lijuan finally remembered her duties as a plane merchant again that she temporarily let Xu Lijuan go and continued to lie back.

As for Xu Lijuan, who inadvertently became a shopaholic and spent money like running water? So what does it matter, anyway. Xu Lijuan is so good at making money, of course, she has to spend more money, so that her life will not be in vain!

"Benefactor, it's a pleasure to see you again."

If you say two months ago. Xu Lijuan saw Hao still with a ruddy face, full of the words of a young man looking forward to a better future. Then, at this moment, what appeared in front of Xu Lijuan was a pale face with heavy dark circles under her eyes. The middle-aged man who was in a trance, and there was a faint sense of despair on his body!

However, at the moment of meeting Xu Lijuan. Hao's gray eyes seemed to be suddenly injected with vitality. This kind of gaze that treats Xu Lijuan as a savior, mixed with unignorable sadness and despair, is simply impossible to refuse.

Thereupon. Xu Lijuan couldn't help but ask with concern: "Hao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Benefactor......" Hao looked at Xu Lijuan with an embarrassed face, and stopped talking. I don't know what he suddenly thought, and while shaking his head frequently, he also restrained all the feelings on his face that shouldn't have appeared, and once again restored the respect he had when he saw Xu Lijuan before: "Hao doesn't have anything, I don't know if the benefactor contacted Hao today, but what is there to deal with Hao?" No matter what kind of instructions the benefactor has, Hao will do his best to do it for the benefactor! ”

"Hao, I don't need you to help me with anything for the time being, but you look ......" Xu Lijuan rubbed her forehead helplessly, and said with a straight face: "No matter what difficulties you have, as long as I can help, you can just say." ”

"This ......" Hao's face kept changing, and in the end, he was still affected by the despair and sadness that had recently haunted the entire tribe, adhering to the series of sincere help that Xu Lijuan, the owner of the plane landlord trader, had brought to him, and the mellow persuasion of the patriarch and elders in his ears in the past few days, he simply knelt on the ground neatly and begged: "Please benefactor save our tribe." ”

"What happened to your tribe?" Hao's call for help, Xu Lijuan was not surprised at all, and even thought about what could make the people of the primordial planet so sad and desperate, either lack of food and clothing or illness and need a lot of medicine, but I don't know what kind of situation Hao's tribe encountered.

"That's ......"

It turns out that the planet where Hao is located, this time the snow season came earlier than usual, and it was colder than previous years. A month ago, the three tribes near Hao's tribe had frozen to death and starved to death one after another. After all, in the previous snow season, those hunters with good hunting skills could still find prey, but this year it is difficult to find prey, not to mention, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the mouths of those hungry tigers and leopards, so that half a month ago, those three tribes were forced to migrate under the condition of hunger and often large beasts hunting.

Such a season was not suitable for migration, so that after a long journey, there were less than a thousand people left to reach Hao's tribe. You know, in the past, the three tribes, the largest tribe had 3,000 people, and the smallest tribe also had 1,000 people!

It can be seen from this that how many people will die in natural disasters during the snow season every year, and this is the most critical reason why there are never enough people on the primitive planet where Hao is located, and technology will not be able to develop for a while.

And Hao's tribe was originally only a small tribe of less than 2,000 people, and although the vegetables, fruits, grains, dried meat and other foods traded with Xu Lijuan were relatively abundant, because Hao did not expect this year's snow season to be the coldest in decades, even if everyone was wearing heavy down jackets and lying in the warm quilt, they still felt a chill exuding from the cracks in their bones. And that's when food, especially hot soups and the like, became a sought-after thing!

Because of this, after accepting more than 1,000 people from other tribes, it was only half a month. Hao was saddened to find that there was not much food left. According to the current situation, no matter how frugal everyone is, several people sleep in the same bed to warm each other, and the remaining food is only enough to last five or six days of chewing!

The most fearful thing for people is not that there is no hope, but that they are given hope and forced to face despair. That's how it is. Because he was just a most ordinary plane merchant. The merchant level is only F-level, and it is not at all like Xu Lijuan, a merchant who has bound the dealer of the landlord of the plane, no matter what level he is in, he can contact merchants from other planes at will. Hao's merchant level doomed him to passively wait for other merchants to take the initiative to contact!

So, in the face of less and less food and imminent death, Hao has been unable to sleep for several days and nights. And the patriarchs and elders of the tribe also prayed for several days in a row, hoping that Xu Lijuan would suddenly contact Hao with an idea!

Tut...... This sour feeling of being regarded as a "savior"!

Xu Lijuan rubbed her face, which had been maintaining a fixed expression and had become a little stiff. Said: "Hao, I still have some vegetables, fruits and grains here, I can trade with you now, I don't know how much you need?" ”

"Also. Do you still need the warmth I was provided last time? ”

"Benefactor, thank you so much." Hao made another big salute, and then respectfully handed over a list of items that had been written down long ago.

This is a list written on the fabric. Xu Lijuan just glanced at it casually, and knew that this piece of cloth was torn off the down jacket on Hao's body. glanced at Hao's cautious expression on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If she guessed correctly, if it weren't for Hao's ability to hold a plane trader and wait for contact from plane merchants like her in other planes at any time to trade some food, it is estimated that Hao's cotton suit, which maintains her image and has the function of keeping warm, would have been contributed to the warmth of the old people and children in the tribe.

This is the biggest difference between people living on primitive planets and people living on high-tech planets. And even if Xu Lijuan has been wandering in the capital for a long time with a soul posture, and has seen a lot of ugliness and gloom hidden in the shadows, her heart has long been honed by her as hard as stone, but she still can't help but be moved by such a simple friendship.

Looking at the spacious cave with only a few boxes of dry food left on the screen, Xu Lijuan no longer dared to imagine the pain, anxiety, and despair that Hao, who had been staying in this cave where the food was stored, waiting for her to contact her, had experienced in the past few days, and was mixed with despair that could not be ignored.

"Hao, I can trade the vegetables, fruits, grains, and dried meat and other items you need to you now."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Lijuan passed all the 500,000 catties of vegetables, fruits, grains, dried meat and candy and other convenient storage items in the system space, until Hao retreated again and again, and finally filled the huge cave that the people of their tribe had worked hard to dig for several days.

It was only at this time that Xu Lijuan realized where the not-so-good feeling that suddenly grew in her heart came from after receiving Wen Zeyu's order for 1.5 million catties of vegetables, fruits, grains and other easy-to-store items. If it weren't for the fact that one day when she was shopping for items, she suddenly found that she had inadvertently bought some more goods, and the bad feeling that had been haunting her heart also faded a little, which made her make the decision to buy more supplies, it is really hard to say how she could have gathered the items Hao needed in this short period of time!

"Benefactor, in the spring of next year, the warriors of our tribe will try to find you the widest and richest land, and build you the largest house in the entire tribe. At the same time, we will hunt hard, and the furs of this year will be given to the benefactor to thank him for his help at this time. ”

"These are some small gifts brought by the migration of other tribes, not a tribute, I hope the benefactor will not mind."

Ivory, wolf's teeth, jade, diamonds, beautiful feathers, huge shells, beautiful coral trees......

At this moment, Xu Lijuan almost had the illusion that she was trading with a merchant in the wizarding world.

Glancing at Hao's look of anticipation mixed with pleading, in the end, Xu Lijuan still swallowed the words of rejection that reached her throat. As a plane businessman, it is natural to have contacts and contacts, so that this kind of alliance can be maintained across the boundaries of time and space, with a unique friendship between friends.

"Okay, this time tomorrow, I'll trade warm items with you again."

******

The next morning, after breakfast, Xu Lijuan said to Du Mengqi: "Mom, I will prepare this year's New Year's gift, right?" ”

Du Mengqi paused as she wiped her lips, glanced at Xu Ankang without a trace, and then slowly put down the tissue and asked, "Xiaojuan, why did you suddenly remember this?" In the past, Xu Lijuan lived in her own world, and even the birthday gifts she usually gave to people were selected by her, not to mention such an important gift as the New Year's gift, which would not even be mentioned.

"In a few days, I will go out to travel with Xiaoyi and Xiaoxue, and prepare some New Year's gifts by the way, so that you don't have to stay in the capital, busy with work, and have to worry about these tedious things." Xu Lijuan tilted her head slightly, her beautiful phoenix eyes blinked, and her face deliberately showed a look of "Look, I am the most intimate little padded jacket, so don't praise me soon", only to let the people sitting on the side also hear these words, and there were all kinds of doubts and speculations in their hearts, and even Xu Lao and Xu Ankang, who were once again angry with Lin Haocang and the Lin family, also laughed.

"Xiaojuan is really a good child, she knows how to share the chores for me at such a young age." Thinking of the exquisite and intimate gifts that Xu Lijuan brought home every time she went home during this time, Du Mengqi also breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Xu Lijuan without hesitation, and then said with a smile: "In this case, I will hand over this great and difficult task to you, and I will copy a list of gifts that need to be given to you later." ”

Xu Lijuan nodded proudly, and did not forget to give Du Mengqi a reassuring pill: "Mom, I will write a gift list according to the list you gave, and after showing it to you, I will prepare a gift." ”

"Okay." At this time, Du Mengqi once again realized the benefits of having a daughter, as for the son Xu Deyao, who had not returned home for three or five years and only called once a month, tsk......

I have to say that at this moment, Xu Lao and Xu Ankang, who were sitting quietly and looking at the scene in front of them with a smile, also had the same thought in their minds. It can be seen from this that Xu Lijuan can be favored in the Xu family, but definitely not because she is the only daughter of the Xu family for three generations, the little princess of the Xu family, but because she also knows that the friendship between this person and people is mutual, and she can't always accept it without forgetting to give it back.

When Xu Lijuan cleaned up the kitchen and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, Du Mengqi compiled a list of gifts that needed to be given, including such as the Wen family, the Yu family, the Gu family, the Yu family and the Fu family, which were closer to the Xu family, as well as some families who had a slightly inferior relationship with the Xu family and were good friends with Xu Ankang, and Du Mengqi's business partners. Of course, the relatives of the Xu family who are distributed all over the country and the Du family are by no means missing.

In order to avoid Xu Lijuan, who was preparing for the New Year's gift for the first time, from being in a hurry, or preparing the gifts was not dedicated enough, Du Mengqi also deliberately made notes behind the important people to indicate their preferences to facilitate Xu Lijuan's tidying.

"Thank you, Mom." Looking at the three pages of A4 paper full of dense handwriting in her hand, Xu Lijuan couldn't help but be speechless, she didn't expect the Xu family to have dealings with so many people. Then, when the Xu family fell in the previous life, the fact that these people did not lend a helping hand can be explained-this world is always easy to add to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. However, in any case, most people just watched from the sidelines for various reasons, and did not fall into the trap, which is already good.

This is the reality of society, Xu Lijuan has no way to fight alone, and can only follow the rules of interpersonal communication.

Although Du Mengqi has given Xu Lijuan as much as possible, if he is replaced by anyone who comes into contact with these materials for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be various omissions, but Xu Lijuan is not in this case. Who let her have the help of Xiao Q's super brain, and want to know what these people on the list like, it's really soeasy!
