"Ouch, Lao Xu, what are you doing? It's just as long as the people are here, why do you bring so many things?" Lao Xue asked.
Xu Renjie smiled naturally: "It's nothing, it's just some rice noodles, and the steamed buns made by the family. A little kindness cannot be regarded as respect."
"Old Xu, you are so polite. Is this a little thoughtful? It's too expensive!" Old Xue waved his hands immediately: "I can't have these things, you can keep them and take them back. Your team is fighting against the skinheads. It’s a time when supplies are needed, and I can’t accept them.”
Lao Xue's rejection was not unexpected by Xu Renjie.
Moreover, Lao Xue's rejection was very straightforward and did not appear to be staged at all.
He was really thinking about Xu Renjie's team and worried about their shortage of supplies.
It’s really hard to meet people like this in the last days.
To be honest, Lao Xu and the others brought quite a lot of supplies this time.
In the last days, materials themselves are a sensitive thing, and many brothers and relatives have fought and betrayed each other just for a bite to eat.
Just imagine, if there is such a large amount of supplies in front of you... Even in peaceful times, I am afraid that no one may be able to refuse it at will.
But Lao Xue simply refused.
You know, the current supply situation of the villa is not optimistic.
Lao Xu and the others still have the ability to go out for search and suppression without supplies, and they have a high probability of success.
But if it falls to the Xue family... things will be difficult at this time.
Xue Guo is the only one in the family who can take on the heavy responsibility of going out to search for and suppress supplies.
Once something happens to Xue Guo outside... there will be a big problem with the Xue family's material supply.
Now the Xue family is expanding the plantation and preparing to increase crop production.
It is easy to expand the planting, but it will take time to harvest.
The supplies Xu Renjie sent this time were just enough to solve the short-term supply problem of the villa.
Furthermore, although the Xue family has always been self-sufficient, most of their food is fruits and vegetables.
Xiangmi noodles are still scarce after all.
Despite the fact that others were in this predicament, he would never refuse Xu Renjie’s gift.
After all, this was a free gift from Old Xu, so it was reasonable to accept it; there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
However, Lao Xue was a very particular person, and he did not consider his own family situation at all when he refused.
After hearing Lao Xue's refusal, Hu Xiaodong quickly continued: "Haha, Lao Xue, our food and drink problem can be solved. These are the thoughts of our brothers, so please be sure to follow me."
After saying that, Hu Xiaodong looked towards Xue Jia intentionally.
He knew that the big men might be embarrassed. If Xue Jia could stand up at this time, it would somewhat alleviate the embarrassment on the field.
In addition, Xue Jia is also the housekeeper of the Xue family. She came forward to say a few words to help solve the situation.
Xue Jia naturally saw Hu Xiaodong's gaze, and as Xue Jia, she would definitely be willing to accept it.
The arrival of this batch of supplies can alleviate the material crisis at home to the greatest extent.
Although the eldest brother Xue Guo had only gone out to buy a cart of supplies before, these things would become less and less after use.
Lao Xu and the others have the supplies in place, so they can also let the eldest brother stay at home more.
The importance of Xue Guo to the Xue family is self-evident, and Xue Guo's burden on Xue Jia is also much lighter.
So... "Dad, this is what Lao Xu and the others want, so don't refuse. Besides, Lao Xu and the others have come all the way to bring you and then have you taken away. This is a waste of gas."
After Xue Jia finished speaking, Hu Xiaodong immediately followed up: "Yes, yes, oil is too precious now, old Xue, just stay."
Unable to resist Xue Jia's mention of the fuel issue, Lao Xue thought for a while and sighed: "Oh, that's true. It's really inappropriate to ask you to pull me back. Okay, this is the one time, and it won't be the same next time."
"Oh, it's done! Old Xue."
"Okay, everyone, let's go into the house." Lao Xue didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he called everyone into the house.
Lao Xue led everyone into the house.
After entering the room, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Come, come, everyone, sit down, sit wherever you like, sit wherever you feel comfortable, don't be polite."
After greeting Lao Xu and others, Lao Xue immediately changed his face and greeted Xue Jia solemnly: "Jia, don't just pour water. Let Xue Qiang and Xue Fu do the pouring work. You go and do it." The guests need to wash some fruits or something. Hurry."
Xue Jia knew that his old father's habit of being overly enthusiastic had happened again.
But Lao Xu and others came all the way, so it would be hard for her to say anything.
Otherwise, my father wants to show off his face, and if he says this to him now, he will definitely explode.
Furthermore, Lao Xu's team came here and brought a lot of supplies, so it was natural to entertain them.
Xue Jia left to the kitchen to prepare fruits for everyone, while Xue Qiang and Xue Fu were responsible for serving tea and water.
It seems that Lao Xue is very used to calling his children.
However, it is normal for a father to order his children, there is nothing to say about it.
"How's it going, Lao Xu? Is everything okay this time when we go back? Have all the family matters been taken care of?" Lao Xue asked with concern.
Xu Renjie nodded: "It's okay, everything is fine. We have made arrangements for the time being."
"Then the relationship is good, it's fine. It's fine. You old Xu, since everything at home has been arranged, you will stay a few more days this time, let's have a good chat." Old Xue Reluo invited.
Lao Xu and others felt helpless.
Who would have thought that during a normal conversation, Lao Xue would trick him here.
But this does echo Lao Xue's character.
Xu Renjie will definitely stay for a few more days during this trip.
After all, this is the early stage of cooperation between the two companies, and it is also a critical node.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. There are too many things to deal with at the beginning.
Although Ye Hao is here, Lao Xu also plans to permanently station team members at the Xue family.
But in the early stage... Xu Renjie decided to stay behind, so that if anything happened, they could help Ye Hao and work together to set up the relevant stage. It would be convenient for Ye Hao to do things later in Lushun.
Only then could Xu Renjie settle down and leave.
It's just that... everyone knows that what Lao Xue said about staying longer... the length of time represented by these days is definitely different from Xu Renjie's concept.
But in the face of old Xue Shengqing...Xu Renjie is not easy to argue with the feelings and reasons.
At the very least, you can't say no directly.
At that moment, he smiled and replied: "This time I plan to stay a few more days to get some things done."
Lao Xue shook his head as expected: "Hey, a few days won't be enough. Just stay tuned. We won't be short of rations for you here."
Old Xue thought this was a joke. Xue Jia came out of the house and placed the cut fruits neatly on the table.
After everything was set up, Xue Jia followed up: "Dad, please stop putting pressure on Lao Xu. He still has a family, and there are things going on at home. It's not good for you to force him to stay."
Lao Xue immediately turned his face and glanced at his daughter: "Jia, why have you recently become like your incompetent brothers and always like to argue with me?"
"I... didn't." Xue Jia was wronged.
Lao Xue continued unceremoniously: "Why do you mean I put pressure on Lao Xu? Lao Xu is not a fool. If something happens, he will leave on his own!"
