Li Mingxia prepared what he had said to Zhang, thought for a moment, and called a strong-willed daughter-in-law from the workshop who was very close to Zhang to send them to the old house.

"Mom, there are a lot of things to do at home, so I won't go with you. You can go by yourself and come back when you're almost done. We're delivering some things and my dad stayed to help, which is very kind of him." Li Mingxia did not forget to tell Zhang to come back early. Those things in the old house were hard to explain, so she should mind her own business and stay as little as possible. Li Sanlang was what he wanted to be and Li Mingxia had no right to interfere. She didn't want Zhang to be in a thankless position there.

Song Li looks particularly excited today.

"After school, let's go for a walk in town. After all, school is only half a day. How about we let our carriage take us there?"

Li Zhengde nodded, wondering how did his elder sister know that Song Li would propose to go shopping in the town? She even prepared money for him. What was going on? Song Li had been in the town for so many years, and he had visited many places. Why did he choose to go shopping today?

"But do you want to prepare gifts for our family?" Li Zhengde suddenly realized and asked directly.

Song Li nodded without hesitation and said, "This is my first time visiting your home, and I am also your good friend, so I have to bring some gifts. Originally, my mother wanted to ask the housekeeper to prepare some, but I thought those things were flashy and useless. Although they are expensive and beautiful, they are ultimately useless. Why don't we discuss it? You will definitely know what is suitable. In this way, I will feel comfortable giving and you will not feel burdened by receiving them. Don't refuse, Brother Zhengde, these are all necessary etiquette."

Li Zhengde felt very relieved when he heard him say this. He was truly thinking about him and did not treat him as an outsider. Otherwise, he would not have considered all these things.

After thinking about this, Li Zhengde swallowed back all the pretentious polite words.

"Okay, let's go pick them together after school. I won't be polite and will definitely ask for a few more items." Li Zhengde said with a smile.

"I'm just afraid that you won't be picky! Just look and choose. As a young master, I don't have much, but I have a lot of money!" Song Li waved his hand and deliberately acted like a dandy young man, which made Li Zhengde couldn't help laughing.

"It's only half a day of school. My sister didn't prepare any special meals for me. I'll give you two apples and some cakes if you want to eat. I'll take it as a thank you for your thoughtfulness."

In the box that Li Zhengde took out was a plate of exquisite pastries, which were fragrant and crystal clear. You could also see the pink and red rose petals and delicate fillings inside.

"What is this?" Song Li was immediately attracted and asked.

Li Zhengde picked up a cake and placed it in Song Li's hand. "Rose cake, this is something my sister came up with herself. The roses are all grown by my sister herself. I heard they are not very common flowers, and they taste very good."

Li Zhengde was happy, so he talked more and revealed more information.

Song Li listened quietly, while his mouth was not idle either, carefully savoring the taste of the cake in his hand.

"Your sister is such a capable woman. It's people like her that I admire most in my life. You are so lucky to have such a sister." Song Li sighed, looked at the cakes in his hand, and said with some envy.

If I had a sister like this at home, my mother would be able to relax. What a pity.

"My sister suffered a lot in the past, but now..."

Li Zhengde's voice became lower and the last few words he said were almost inaudible.

"Forget it, I'll buy some candy for my sister later. My sister loves it." Li Zhengde smiled and changed the subject, but the sunny weather just now seemed to be suddenly shrouded in a layer of haze.

"Brother Xue Li, didn't I ask you to prepare some things? You didn't prepare anything? You're going to my house empty-handed?" Li Zhengxue was sitting in Xue Li's carriage, looking at the empty carriage, and immediately shouted.

Xue Li was annoyed whenever he saw Li Zhengxue like this, and now it was even more serious to the point that even his voice sounded irritating to him.

"What's your name? Although there's nothing in the carriage, am I not going to town now? It's just a little gift. Do you think I can't afford it?" Xue Li said impatiently.

He didn't want to go through the trouble, but he felt that the four items prepared at home were too expensive and Li Zhengxue didn't deserve them, so he decided to just buy some at random to get by.

"In that case, I misunderstood you. What do you want to buy and bring to my house?" Li Zhengxue nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong. He was more concerned about what Xue Li would bring and whether it would add some glory to his face. The people in the Li family's old house paid great attention to these superficial pomps, so they reacted so strongly to the fact that there was nothing on the carriage.

"I'll go pick four later..."

"I think you have to bring at least eight things. Ordinary people only need four things, but we are close friends, so four things are not enough. How about eight?" Li Zhengxue still felt that he had been generous enough and only asked for eight things. If it was about the same, wouldn't he have taken the initiative to say that he would bring sixteen things?

As if he could see the unsatisfied look in Li Zhengxue's eyes, Xue Li suddenly found it a little funny.

"Since we are classmates and close friends, then these things are not excessive. But what if you come to my house one day? Can you afford these eight gifts?"

When Xue Li said the last sentence, he could no longer suppress the ridicule in his heart. He thought that this person was tactless, but how could he be so greedy and disgusting?

No matter how slow Li Zhengxue was, he finally reacted. He was stunned for a while and said, "That's not what you said. Although I don't have the money to buy it now, it doesn't mean I will never have it. When I become successful in the future, I will naturally visit your house. Let alone eight things, sixteen or twenty-four things, what are they to me?"

Xue Li rolled his eyes, leaned back in the carriage and said nothing.

Li Zhengxue thought that Xue Li was moved by his words and felt even more proud.

"I mean what I say! Brother Xue Li!"

"We already have these things at home, there's no need to buy so many, Brother Song Li."

When Xue Li and Li Zhengxue walked into the grain store, they happened to hear the voices of Li Zhengde and Song Li talking.

"This is all I should do. You are not allowed to stop me. What you have at home is what you have at home. My intention is my intention. Boss, each of the items I picked just now weighs 100 kilograms." Song Li made the decision without waiting for Li Zhengde to continue.
