Chapter 271 Money is not a problem
Li Xu sighed: "As you can see, the situation in H City is still quite serious. The flood has washed away many places, and many materials must be lacking. In addition to so many rescuers, they I'm afraid I can't keep up with the food and drink.
I was thinking, instead of letting this dish rot in the ground, let's donate it at this opportunity. I dumped some instant noodles and mineral water and the like, found a few cars, and gave them a piece. "
Seeing Li Lei's eyes flickering and looking at her with admiration, Li Xu smiled helplessly.
"Don't think of me as noble, I'm not the kind of person who is dedicated and doesn't ask for anything in return. I did this with a little bit of selfishness. What's more, our S city is not far from H city. It is also convenient for materials to be transported there.”
"What selfishness?" Li Lei asked curiously.
Li Xu said: "Reputation, we are in business. Reputation is more important than anything else. I have done good deeds. Everyone knows that the reputation of the store will definitely improve. Can the business still be bad?"
Li Lei chuckled: "It's understandable, we can't ask everyone to give selflessly. As long as you do good things, you really help others, and it's harmless to be a little careful."
Listening to Li Lei's words, Li Xu looked up at him, "Why do I feel like you are teaching me a lesson?"
Li Lei quickly clarified: "How dare I?"
Li Xu pulled the corners of his lips, and then said, "When you go to see Xiaoning tomorrow, don't forget to ask me if she can find a few cars from her father's side!"
"Okay, let me ask, it shouldn't be hard to find now. However, how many cars do you need?"
"At least five or six cars!" Li Xu thought about it, "Go ask first and see how many you find!"
Li Lei agreed: "Don't worry, I'll go early tomorrow morning!"
Li Xu looked at the rain outside and whispered, "I hope the rain tomorrow will be smaller!"
At night, Li Lei lived in Li Xu's room, while Li Xu went to Zhang Kun's house.
Early the next morning, Li Lei got up.
The rain outside was much lighter, and he went out without eating.
Go early, and you can send Meng Xiaoning to work!
Before seven o'clock, Li Lei knocked on the door of the old man's house.
When the door was opened, all four of the Meng family were there.
Seeing the old husband and mother-in-law, Li Lei felt a little uncomfortable.
Since Meng Xiaoning got married, except for returning to their home on weekends, she has stayed at her parents' house for the rest of the time.
The house in their county said that the formalities were all done, but there was no furniture in it.
Moreover, Meng Xiaoning had no personal care in the past.
It would be a long way to go back to their village home every day.
Therefore, Meng Xiaoning simply lived with her parents.
His wife was pregnant, and he had no chance to take care of him, so Li Lei always felt a little sorry for his wife.
However, Liang Huimei and her husband were not unhappy.
The niece is married and still lives in her parents' house, so other people may be unhappy, but they are very happy when it is placed on them.
Pregnancy is a very hard thing to do. If you are at the in-law's house, you may be uncomfortable everywhere. It's different in her mother's house, the girl can do whatever she wants.
The better the mood, the better the child will be!
Therefore, when Li Lei came over, Liang Huimei and her husband were very enthusiastic.
"Have you eaten yet? Why did you come so early?" Liang Huimei took Li Lei into the house and stood under the eaves. She took the raincoat from Li Lei's hand, shook it, and hung it on the wall.
"Mother, I haven't eaten yet!" Li Lei said.
"That's just right, the meal is almost ready, you go and get Xiaoning to get up. This lazy girl hasn't woken up yet!" Liang Huimei said helplessly, "It's already seven o'clock, let her resign, every day. You have to shout three or four times to get up!"
Liang Huimei went to the kitchen while muttering.
The layout of Meng Xiaoning's family is the same as theirs. There are two rooms in the east and west. After Meng Xiaoning became pregnant, she lived in a room alone.
Li Lei gently opened the door of Meng Xiaoning's room.
On the kang, Meng Xiaoning was covered with a quilt and slept soundly.
Li Lei rubbed his hands together and put them on Meng Xiaoning's face after rubbing them hot. He leaned in and kissed them and said softly in Meng Xiaoning's ear, "Little lazy pig, get up and eat!"
Meng Xiaoning turned over impatiently: "I won't eat, let me sleep for a while!"
She turned sideways, her brows furrowed.
After a while, Meng Xiaoning seemed to realize something. She opened her eyes and looked at Li Lei.
"Why are you here?" Meng Xiaoning laughed and hugged Li Lei's neck.
"Come and see you, and talk to our father about something by the way!"
Meng Xiaoning listened and snorted a little unhappily.
"You are getting more and more inconvenient now, why don't you quit your job?" Li Lei discussed with her in a low voice, "It has been raining a lot recently, and I don't worry about you going back and forth every day!"
In fact, Li Lei mentioned this a few months ago. I want Meng Xiaoning to resign and go home and concentrate on raising the baby.
It's not the same thing to live in her parents' house all the time.
But Meng Xiaoning was unwilling, and Li Lei did not force it.
Since she became pregnant, her mother-in-law has stopped doing the vegetable business, so she is dedicated to serving her at home, and her mother-in-law will pick her up to and from get off work.
He was busy planting the 20-acre greenhouse at home, and he really couldn't find time to run back and forth.
Li Lei's words made Meng Xiaoning sigh.
Although this job is not a good job, you can quit with words, but...
"We lost a lot of greenhouses this year, right? I just thought, while I can still go to work, I can make more money by working two more months. When the children come out, there will be more places to use the money!"
"You don't have to worry about money, anyway, no matter what, you can't treat you and your children badly. You can tell your leaders these days, we'll quit. The road is so slippery It's too dangerous to go to work. Yes." Li Lei coaxed her.
During this time, he gave Meng Xiaoning a lot of money. He thought, if the time can't be spared, the money must keep up.
So when it comes to Meng Xiaoning, he has never been stingy.
Meng Xiaoning didn't speak for a long time.
She stroked her stomach, and after a while, she sighed long: "Okay, I'll tell the leader today!"
Li Lei brought Meng Xiaoning's clothes over, waited on her to put them on, and then helped her to eat.
At the dinner table, Li Lei discussed with Meng Qingxin: "Dad, are any of your fellow riders able to run long distances now? My eldest sister needs a few cars to help her deliver some things!"
Meng Qingxin's expression was a little surprised. After he swallowed the food in his mouth, he asked, "Where to ship it? The weather has been bad recently, and there are not many businesses, but a few are idle!"
"To the H city, it is some vegetables and instant noodles, mineral water, etc., the price is not a problem!" Li Lei said.
