After being born into this world for sixteen years, Ji Lili assumed she had the script for a winner's life. Her mother was a factory director's daughter, and her father, exceptionally capab...
Chapter 38 38 Remember to stay calm, one indicator is not good...
Jiang Lili lowered her eyes, feeling a little annoyed. When she looked up again, she had returned to her usual polite demeanor: "Then I'll trouble Brother Hongzhe."
"Let's go, otherwise we will fall too far behind." Lu Hongzhe still had the car keys in his hand.
Jiang Lili's gaze moved from his back to the keys in his hand, and she couldn't help but sigh at the distance between people. When they were still worrying about the start-up capital, the Lu family already owned a car, and it seemed that they had more than one.
Arriving at the car, Jiang Lili had to consider whether to sit in the passenger seat or the back seat. After a brief hesitation, she decisively chose the back seat. A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Hongzhe's eyes as he sat in front of her. He then asked, "Why not sit in the front?"
"I heard that the passenger seat is the most dangerous, and I'm afraid of death." Jiang Lili answered honestly.
Lu Hongzhe was so angry that he laughed: "You don't believe me?"
"No, Brother Hongzhe, you're overthinking it. Didn't we say we were going to chase them? Let's hurry up." Jiang Lili didn't lie. She was really afraid of death. Besides, he was only three years older than her, which meant he had only had his driver's license for a year, so it was better to be cautious.
Seeing this, Lu Hongzhe didn't say anything, but just found it a little funny. Ever since he got his driver's license, no one has ever doubted his driving skills. Today is the first time.
Neither of them spoke for the next moment, and a faint atmosphere of awkwardness permeated the car. Jiang Lili simply leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and pretended to take a nap. Unexpectedly, she actually fell asleep until Jiang Qitong woke her again: "Sister Lili, why did you fall asleep again?"
"Ah?" Jiang Lili was a little confused, but she had already touched the corner of her lips. She sometimes drooled during her nap, and she only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure there was no trace of saliva.
"You fell asleep in the car again," the little girl accused.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Let's go. Let's get off now." While speaking, Jiang Lili raised her eyes and glanced at the driver's seat in front. There was no figure there.
After getting off the bus, Jiang Lili realized that everyone was waiting for her. She felt a little embarrassed: "Mom, why don't you go shopping first? You don't have to wait for me."
"It doesn't matter anyway. It's more fun when there are more people around." Qiu Shaoli said with a smile.
"Then let's go in first." Jiang Lili took a quick look and felt that if they went in as a group, they would be a very conspicuous target.
"Aunt, everyone probably likes different things. It would be better to save time if we go shopping separately. What do you think?" Lu Hongzhe quickly gave a suggestion.
"Okay, then Hongzhe, you accompany grandpa and your uncle Jiang and the others? I'll take Yulan and the others, and Jiaze, you take Lili and Tongtong for a walk?" Qiu Shaoli quickly divided the group into three groups and asked for everyone's opinions.
"That's it." Everyone quickly reached a consensus, so the original large group was divided into three groups and headed towards different counters. Everyone agreed to meet at the door later.
"Toys, toys, let's go look at the toys first." Jiang Qitong remembered that this time she came to Jincheng Lilijie to see the toys here.
"Then let's go to the toy counter first." Lu Jiaze said as he led them to the toy area over there with familiarity.
In the center, a remote-controlled car was on display, alongside various dolls and building block sets. Back then, the blocks were mostly large, solid. Jiang Lili remembered that her colleagues' children were already playing with magnetic tiles and sticks, using magnetism to connect things, as well as various Legos. Compared to these, toys for younger babies were still mostly composed of rattles and bells. As for teething toys, most families opted to make their own peppercorn sticks. After a quick tour of the toy section, Jiang Lili became more determined to focus on educational toys for children aged zero to three.
"Is there nothing you like?" Lu Jiaze asked hurriedly when he saw them walking outside.
"No need, just take a look." Jiang Lili shook her head. There were basically no indoor amusement parks in shopping malls now. That was great. She seemed to have seen a new business opportunity.
"Tongtong doesn't have anyone she likes either?" Lu Jiaze asked.
"Not yet." Little Jiang Qitong had just been taught during her nap that it was impolite not to express what she wanted in front of the Lu family except in front of her own family members.
"Why don't we go look somewhere else?" Lu Jiaze didn't expect that none of them liked any of the toys.
"Is there any place that sells souvenirs?" Jiang Lili suddenly asked. Ke Sisi always loved to feed her snacks. Since she came to Jincheng, she should bring her some souvenirs.
"Yes, it's at the door." Lu Jiaze nodded.
Arriving at the store, Jiang Lili took a quick look. They were mostly small sachets and pendants, and the prices were reasonable. She patted Jiang Qitong's head and said gently, "Tongtong, take a look and see if there's anything you like. Pick a few to take home as gifts for your good friends."
"That means we need to buy a lot of things, such as Tiantian, Xiaomei, Jingjing, and Sisi."
"Choose, I'll pay for you." Jiang Lili made a pause gesture and told her to choose quickly.
"After we go back, you won't ask me to pay you back with my New Year's money, right?" The little girl looked alert.
"No, don't worry." Jiang Lili looked at her with some amusement. She didn't know how many times this girl had been cheated and why she was so vigilant now.
"Then I can choose with confidence." Jiang Qitong said happily as she went to pick what she liked.
Jiang Lili picked two for Ke Sisi, and then picked two for herself, but didn't pick any others. She had just heard the little girl mutter such a long list of names, and she thought she would pick a lot, but in the end she only picked three. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Why only three? Don't you have so many good friends?"
"My mom said I shouldn't be too greedy." Three times is a good thing, and she picked three, which was already a lot.
It was obvious that her aunt had taught her well. Jiang Lili rubbed her head again and said, "Don't worry, I'm not someone else. Go ahead and choose. Besides giving them to your friends, you can also pick two that you like and keep them for yourself."
"Is it really okay?" Jiang Qitong was a little unsure. Her mother always told her not to pick too many things when others took her shopping, but Sister Lili said that she was not an outsider, which seemed to make sense, so who should she listen to?
"Of course, go ahead." Jiang Lili patted her shoulder to give her courage.
Jiang Qitong came back very quickly this time. These were the things she had just picked out. She had originally planned to ask Jiang Aiguo for money to buy them later, but she didn't expect that Sister Lili was willing to buy them all for her.
When it was time to pay, Lu Jiaze wanted to pay, but Jiang Lili directly refused: "No, this is a souvenir for a friend."
Seeing her insistence, Lu Jiaze didn't continue to fight with her, but just said slowly: "It seems that being your friend is quite happy."
"Don't you bring souvenirs for your friends when you go to other places?" Jiang Lili looked at him curiously. Isn't this the most basic thing?
"I don't have that habit. Hey, why did my brother bring grandpa and the others out?" Lu Jiaze asked.
Jiang Lili looked up at the sound of his voice and saw Lu Hongzhe walking out with two old men and Jiang Aiguo.
"Brother, we are here." Jiang Qitong waved to them hurriedly upon seeing this, and kept calling out "Dad" and "Grandpa".
"You guys came out too? Lili, have you seen the toys?" Jiang Aiguo was also a little surprised to see them.
"I've seen it. What about you guys? Why did you come out so quickly?" Jiang Lili asked casually.
"We are neither buying nor selling, so there is nothing good to see. Your mom and the others will probably be shopping for a while." Jiang Aiguo noticed the things in Jiang Qitong's hands at this time, and asked her why she chose so many.
"Sister Lili said that I can take it back and give it to my good friend." Jiang Qitong said quickly.
"That's right. Then you should keep it well." Jiang Aiguo said as he patted her head gently.
"Let's find a teahouse to have some tea and take a break." Lu Hongzhe glanced at the two old men, who were obviously bored. He thought that perhaps a teahouse would be more suitable for them.
"Let's go to the teahouse. I want to drink soda." Jiang Qitong was the first to agree.
"There's only tea in the teahouse, but no soda." Jiang Lili said with a smile.
"But I want to drink soda." Jiang Qitong said and looked at Jiang Lili pitifully. She hadn't had soda for a long time.
"I'll buy it for you later." Jiang Lili couldn't stand her acting pitiful.
They originally planned to just take a short break in the teahouse but ended up sitting there for the entire afternoon. It was because the female comrades were too fond of shopping. When they came out of the department store, each of them had several more things in their hands. After shopping for a while, they were still full of energy.
"Mom, what did you buy?" Jiang Lili asked casually.
"It's the change of seasons, so I bought you two sets of clothes." Jiang Yulan said with a smile.
"Did you buy it for yourself?" Jiang Lili guessed, looking at the bag in her hand.
"I bought a coat. Let's go back and try it on later. If it doesn't fit, we can come back and change it tomorrow." Jiang Yulan felt a little regretful that she was not with them just now, otherwise she could have tried it on on the spot.
"Okay, I'll try it when I get back." Jiang Lili nodded.
On the way back, Jiang Lili and Lu Hongzhe were finally not in the same car alone. She and Lu Jiaze exchanged seats.
It was a rare occasion for the two brothers to travel together. Lu Hongzhe held the steering wheel and looked ahead, then casually asked, "Are you transferring to Yuncheng?"
"Well, the procedures are almost done. It will be done after the holiday." Lu Jiaze nodded.
"It's nice to be with my second uncle and the others." Lu Hongzhe felt that it was good to be with his parents.
"Yeah, brother, what about you? When will you go back to school? Isn't college a lot easier than high school?" Lu Jiaze has already begun to look forward to his college life.
"Whether college life is easy or not depends on your personal plan. I will go back to school tomorrow." Lu Hongzhe said in a light tone.
"That makes sense. Tomorrow? Grandpa Jiang and the others will be back the day after tomorrow. They have to go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow." Lu Jiaze said.
The two brothers chatted intermittently, with Lu Jiaze doing most of the talking and Lu Hongzhe only responding occasionally. Since childhood, Lu Jiaze was used to his silence and he was quite excited to talk alone.
The two families still had dinner together. There were also Yuncheng dishes specially prepared for the Jiang family on the table. It was obvious that they prepared it very carefully. They had to have a physical examination early tomorrow morning, and Qiu Shaoli reminded them not to eat or drink after midnight.
Seeing their honest looks, Jiang Lili thought, professional matters really need to be done by professionals. If she were to give them instructions, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
"Then we will go to the hospital tomorrow. Lili, you just take Tongtong to play around nearby." Jiang Yulan instructed.
Jiang Lili frowned. She actually wanted to go to the hospital with her, but it was impossible for Jiang Qitong to go to the hospital with them. Thinking of this, she could only nod: "Okay, Tongtong and I will wait for you at home."
"Jia Ze is here, he can take them out to play." Qiu Shaoli signaled them not to worry.
"The two children are tired from walking today, so let them rest at home tomorrow." Jiang Aiguo also thought it would be good for them to stay at home and rest.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Lu Jiaze said. Plans cannot keep up with changes, so he will make a decision based on the situation tomorrow.
"Yeah, that's it. We've been walking around for so long today, you should all go to bed early." Qiu Shaoli urged them to go to bed early, then turned around and sent Lu Liangxu and his family out.
Lu Liangxu's family waved goodbye to the Jiang family. Lu Hongzhe said goodbye to them politely and then went back next door with his parents.
This was indeed a fulfilling day for the Jiang family. The next morning, before Jiang Lili got up, the four-member medical examination team followed Qiu Shaoli to the hospital. Before leaving, Zhou Qingfen carried Jiang Qitong from their bed to Jiang Lili's room. With this small stove, her sleepiness quickly disappeared, while the culprit was still sleeping soundly. Jiang Lili couldn't help but gently pinched her nose.
Since she couldn't sleep, she had to do something. She took out the notebook from her backpack and wrote down the toys she had seen at the department store yesterday, interspersed with her own thoughts. It was half an hour later when she finished. Jiang Qitong, who was lying on the bed, looked at her with sleepy eyes. "Sister Lili, why am I here with you? Where are my parents?"
She remembered that she clearly slept with her parents last night, so how come she woke up in Sister Lili's room?
"Your parents and grandpa went to the hospital for a physical examination. You have to follow me today, okay?" Jiang Lili pulled her up from the bed.
"Oh." Jiang Qitong nodded and started to change her clothes.
When she dragged Jiang Qitong downstairs, Lu Jiaze was reading in the living room. Hearing the sound coming from the stairs, he turned around and glanced at her: "Wake up, do you want to have breakfast now or later?"
"Now." If I eat later, I won't be very hungry by lunch time, so it's better to eat early.
At the hospital, Jiang Yulan and the others were holding the medical examination form, which clearly indicated the location of each location. With Qiu Shaoli by their side, everything went smoothly. After all the items were checked, the full results would not be available until tomorrow. Qiu Shaoli glanced at them and said, "Let's go and have breakfast first. I'll bring the results back to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Jiang Yulan said to her with a smile.
"That's too polite of you. Let's go. The food near the hospital is barely enough to fill our stomachs." It was already past lunchtime in the hospital cafeteria.
Aside from the incomplete results, all other indicators are currently normal. Jiang Jianyi glanced at the area where he hadn't drawn blood and shook his head: "Lili, that girl, is just worrying about nothing. I'm sure she's spent almost all the money she earned from the toy factory on this one checkup!"
"With the money earned from the toy factory, will Lili still make toys?" Qiu Shaoli asked curiously.
"It's not about making toys, it's about designing. You'll know once the new toys are launched on the market." There was a pride in Jiang Jianyi's tone that he himself didn't even notice.
"Wow, Lili is so amazing." Qiu Shaoli praised without reservation.
"In this regard, Lili seems to be a little better than the average person." Jiang Aiguo also nodded.
"She has liked these things since she was a child." Jiang Yulan's face was also full of pride. At this time, they did not choose to humbly belittle Jiang Lili as they did before, but generously accepted her praise of Jiang Lili.
"Yes, Lili has been smart since she was young." Qiu Shaoli also recalled her childhood with them.
Their reminiscence ended only when the owner of the breakfast shop served breakfast. As they ate breakfast, Qiu Shaoli casually asked, "Yulan, have you booked your return tickets? Do you need our help?"
"No need, we bought round-trip tickets, leaving at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon." It was already four o'clock when they arrived in Yuncheng. After a rest and preparing dinner, and then cleaning up, it was time to go to bed. After all, they had to go to school and work the next day.
"Then we should have enough time to get the physical examination report." Qiu Shaoli said and nodded.
"It doesn't matter if it's too late. Jiaze will be here by then. Just ask him to bring him over. By the way, when will Jiaze come?" The last time he came was to handle the transfer procedures, and it should be done by now.
"It's probably around the 7th or 8th. He still has to go back to school here. We'll have to wait until he comes back from school the day after tomorrow to know the exact time." Qiu Shaoli was still unsure of the exact time.
"Okay, just let us know in advance if he's coming." Zhou Qingfen had already cleaned the room in advance and was waiting for him to stay.
"Then I'd like to trouble you to take care of Jiaze for me during the period before we come." Qiu Shaoli said a little embarrassedly.
"Jia Ze is such an old man, it's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks, there's no question of whether I should take care of him or not." Jiang Jianyi waved his hand, telling her not to say such polite words.
When the medical examination team returned, Jiang Lili was watching cartoons with Jiang Qitong in the living room. Seeing them return, Jiang Lili was the first to stand up, her tone filled with an urgency that she herself didn't even notice: "Mom, you're back. How are the test results?"
"The results so far are all normal. Some results may not be available until tomorrow." Jiang Yulan noticed her nervousness and patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her.
"Oh, I see." Jiang Lili slowly relaxed. She told herself that this was a normal process and some examination results did not come out so quickly.
"Where's Jiaze? Didn't we ask that kid to accompany you?" Qiu Shaoli looked around and didn't see Lu Jiaze.
"Aunt Qiu, Lu Jiaze sent Brother Hongzhe to the train station. Tongtong and I didn't want to go, so we chose to stay at home." Jiang Lili hurried out to explain.
"Hongzhe is back to school?" Qiu Shaoli was a little surprised.
"Yeah, back to school." Jiang Lili nodded.
"It's just one day, and this kid doesn't think it's too hard." Qiu Shaoli said, shaking her head.
"Yulan, you all had a lot of blood drawn just now. Let's take a walk around here in the afternoon." They were fine, but Uncle Jiang was old, and it would be better for him to take a rest after drawing so much blood at once.
"That's what we planned too." Jiang Yulan nodded. She didn't know if it was because she had lost too much weight recently, but after the blood test, she felt a little dizzy. But she didn't tell anyone because she was afraid they would worry.
"Let's have some pork liver for lunch to replenish the blood." Qiu Shaoli was discussing the lunch menu with the aunt at home. Jiang Lili glanced at her family sitting on the sofa and felt that it was better to travel independently. Staying at a friend or relative's house always gave her an extra layer of worry about leaving at a moment's notice.
Holidays always fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the morning of the 3rd. I hadn't brought anything with me when I came, but when I packed up my backpack for the trip back home, I realized my backpack couldn't hold anything anymore. The train was at 12 o'clock, and the Lu family had arranged lunch at 10 o'clock in advance, and even prepared a lot of food for them to take with them on the train: "The food on the train is terrible, take this with you."
"You should come to the train station to pick me up in a few days." Lu Jiaze was still holding Jiang Lili's backpack when he spoke.
Jiang Lili didn't say anything. She thought she might disappoint him as he probably didn't have time to pick her up at the train station.
There were still quite a few people at the train station today. After entering, they waved goodbye to the Lu family and invited them to come to Yun City earlier. Qiu Shaoli smiled, "I'd like to come earlier, but the procedures take time."
After getting on the train, Jiang Lili found someone pushing a cart selling boxed lunches. However, not many people chose boxed lunches at this time. In addition to the price, the taste was also average, so many people chose to bring other things to fill their stomachs.
Jiang Qitong was a little curious. Her big eyes were fixed on the lunch cart, and she followed it around. Jiang Lili couldn't help but ask, "Tongtong, do you want to eat?"
"I do." After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Qitong nodded. She was really curious about whether the lunch box tasted good.
"Then have one." Jiang Lili remembered that she was also curious when she was a child, and Jiang Aiguo would use the money he saved to buy it for her to try.
"No need for Lili, why waste that money?" Zhou Qingfen quickly stopped her.
"Aunt, if Tongtong can't taste this lunch box today, she will always think about it. Instead of letting her think about it day and night, it is better to fulfill her wish today. Didn't I say before that I would give each of you a gift? This lunch box can be considered a gift for Tongtong." Jiang Lili persuaded them in a gentle tone.
Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Qingfen exchanged a glance, then thought, yes, Tongtong is their only child. Aren't they working so hard to make her life better? But now it seems they've put the cart before the horse, so they didn't try to stop Jiang Lili. Jiang Qitong happily followed Jiang Lili to the front carriage to buy lunch.
Jiang Qitong was filled with joy as she returned with her lunch box. As everyone watched, she opened the box and saw the wilted vegetables inside. She couldn't help but frown, "It doesn't look that delicious."
"Why don't you try it and know if it tastes good?" Jiang Lili looked at her with a smile, thinking back to the "sky-high" lunch box she bought on the high-speed rail that year.
Jiang Qitong took a few bites with a small spoon, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "Sister Lili, this isn't tasty at all. The rice is hard and feels a bit undercooked."
"Then don't eat it." Jiang Lili looked at her with a smile. In order not to waste food, Jiang Aiguo had taken care of the last box lunch. Ever since he finished eating the box lunch, his frown hadn't relaxed. "I don't think they expect repeat customers for this box lunch. How can they afford to charge such a high price?"
"The price is clearly marked and no one is forced to buy. Why should you feel embarrassed?" Jiang Lili said with a chuckle. There were people selling other things in the carriage just now, but unfortunately no one in their carriage bought anything.
The return ticket was in the morning, and everyone was in high spirits. The green train was slow, but it was a unique experience to enjoy the scenery while riding it. Jiang Lili looked at the old houses passing by, and she thought that in a short time, these places would be replaced by high-rise buildings. The country would develop rapidly in the future, and they were insignificant. How could they, who were so insignificant, make money in this era? She felt that she needed to sort out the timeline in her memory after she returned.
It's her fault, she has been living a mediocre life since she came here, and later she even hoped that Ji Yushu would become a rich second-generation. It was not until Ji Mingyue's arrival that her dream was broken. It turns out that it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
The train rattled through the tunnel, and the carriage instantly became dark. This was the first time Jiang Qitong had encountered such a situation. She asked in surprise, "Dad, why did it suddenly become dark?"
"It's not that it's dark, it's that the train has entered a tunnel. It will be fine soon." Jiang Aiguo explained in a gentle voice.
"Tunnel, what is a tunnel?" Jiang Qitong looked curious.
The child was full of questions at this time. The frantic Jiang Aiguo suddenly looked at Jiang Lili and confirmed with Jiang Yulan, "Sister, I remember Lili wasn't like this when she was little, right?"
Jiang Yulan thought about it, and finally nodded seriously: "Yes, Lili was definitely not like this when she was a child."
"Why are there so many differences between people?" Jiang Qitong's question was still ringing in his ears, and Jiang Aiguo felt despair.
Her expression amused everyone, and Jiang Jianyi even mocked her, saying, "Tongtong's personality is just like yours. She's just like you when you were little. Lili is just like your sister, and has been very quiet since she was little."
Jiang Lili chuckled when she heard this, and then the smile on her face slowly faded. When they left Jincheng, except for Jiang Yulan, everyone else's physical examination reports had come out. Only Jiang Yulan's report had to wait. Qiu Shaoli said that her specimen was sent for examination a little late, so the result would also be a little later.
Everyone else looked indifferent, but Jiang Lili was the only one who remained tense. The plot only said that Jiang Yulan died of illness, but did not go into detail about the course of the illness, so she was a little worried that they could not change such a major plot point.
Although she tried her best to appear relaxed along the way, Jiang Yulan still noticed something was wrong with her, so she asked quietly, "Lili, are you worried about something?"
"No, I guess my period is coming soon and I feel a little uncomfortable." Jiang Lili made up an excuse.
"It's almost time. I'll make you some brown sugar water when we get back." Jiang Yulan said as she rubbed her lower abdomen.
"Okay." Jiang Lili nodded obediently.
During the four-hour train ride, they went from being energetic at the beginning to drowsy at the end. Fortunately, they were about to arrive at the station, so they quickly cheered up again.
At the train station, Ye Qiuju and Ji Mingyue were staring at the timetable: "Mom, are you sure you'll arrive at 3:30?"
"That's what your aunt said on the phone. Hurry up and take a look here. Isn't it written here?" Ye Qiuju urged.
"My eyes are blurry. Let me take a closer look." Ji Mingyue rubbed his eyes, feeling very disgusted. How could this thing not be smart at all?
"I saw it. It didn't arrive at 3:30, it clearly arrived at 4:30." Ji Mingyue cursed in her heart. Really, she even misread the train arrival time. It made them come early.
"Four-thirty is fine, we're already here anyway." Ye Qiuju looked nonchalant and sat down again. After two phone calls from her, Song Zhenzhen finally agreed to come out and work with them.
"What else can I do?" Ji Mingyue was speechless, but she began to search for more information about Song Zhenzhen in her mind. Song Zhenzhen was a plump type, and her figure was very popular with the elders. She was only 29 years old now, not only younger than Yao Yan, but also more beautiful. I think Ji Yumo should not refuse, but Song Zhenzhen should agree, right?
"Mom, do you think my aunt will agree to what we said?" Ji Mingyue was a little unsure for a moment.
"Don't worry, your aunt is even lazier than me and can't endure hardship even more than me. If you ask her to work and earn money, she will definitely be willing to rely on a man." Ye Qiuju signaled her not to worry. Although Song Zhenzhen was several years younger than her, she still knew her cousin's temper.
"That's good. I'd like to see how proud Yao Yan will be then." Ji Mingyue couldn't help but snort coldly after she finished speaking. Usually Yao Yan liked to take advantage of them and squeeze them, which Ji Mingyue had tolerated. But she actually set her sights on her, and the other party was her good-for-nothing brother, which made Ji Mingyue unbearable.
"No rush. Let her be arrogant for a few days, then there will be something interesting to watch. I heard that her family now looks up to her because she often gets things from her husband's family to subsidize her family. Once the subsidies are gone and she divorces Ji Yumo, she won't even have a place to rest." Ye Qiuju felt that Yao Yan seemed smart, but was actually stupid.
"Didn't grandpa and grandma sign a written agreement? The house in the iron factory will belong to Ji Wenwu in the future. He can't kick his mother out, right?" Ji Mingyue felt that it shouldn't be necessary.
"Just wait and see. Fortunately, we don't have to fight with them for that shabby house. I don't know when your father will come back." Ji Yushu has been in Guangzhou for three days and there is no news from him.
"It takes him more than three days to go to Guangzhou and back, and he also has to pick up the goods. How can he go that fast?" Ji Mingyue thought that after the winter vacation, she would find a chance to go to Guangzhou with Ji Yushu. She had never been to Guangzhou in the 1980s.
"It's inconvenient not to have a phone at home. I don't know when we can install one." Ye Qiuju knew that Jiang Yulan's parents had a phone.
"We are still renting a house. Instead of installing a telephone, shouldn't we buy a house first?" The housing benefits provided by the company are about to end.
"Oh, you reminded me." Ye Qiuju nodded quickly. She planned to talk to Ji Yushu about buying a house when he returned. Unfortunately, she came to the city too late in her previous life and didn't know where to buy the best deal. Anyway, the area around the city was being demolished, so if it really didn't work out, she could just choose that area.
While the mother and daughter were talking, Ye Qiuju was the first to see the Jiang family members coming out of the platform. She patted Ji Mingyue's arm and said, "Mingyue, look, is that a member of the Jiang family?"
Ji Mingyue turned around and saw Jiang Lili. The whole family was carrying large and small bags and was following the crowd out of the platform. She nodded and said, "It's them."
"Where are they going?" Ye Qiuju asked curiously.
Ji Mingyue looked at the train over there. It passed through Jincheng, so they must be going to Jincheng. Were they going to the Lu family? It seemed that the Jiang family valued the Lu family very much. Thinking that Jiang Lili's childhood sweetheart was also a target of her conquest, she couldn't help but curl her lips. When she succeeded, the faces of these people would surely be very interesting, right?
Noticing the gazes falling on her, Jiang Lili looked up and met Ji Mingyue's eyes. When she saw her looking at her, she raised her lips towards her. She was really sick, Jiang Lili cursed inwardly.
"Why are the mother and daughter coming to the train station?" At this time, Jiang Aiguo also noticed them.
"Let's go. After all, we're not here to pick you up. You shouldn't give people like them the eye contact." Zhou Qingfen said as she handed him the bag in her hand. He still had time to notice the irrelevant people. It seemed that he was not tired enough.
Jiang Lili was amused by her aunt's actions, and then she nodded in agreement, "Aunt is right, they are probably here to pick up Ji Yushu, they can't be here to pick up their relatives, right?"
In the plot, Ji Yushu has always disliked Ye Qiuju's family. Even after they got married, he did not allow Ye Qiuju to have any contact with them. Ye Qiuju and her mother were always exploited by her uncle at home, so naturally they would not pay any attention to them.
"Let's go back first. Aren't you tired?" Jiang Jianyi glanced at them. It was the first time he saw Ye Qiuju today. Seeing this, he began to regret not having thoroughly investigated Ji Yushu's background.
"It's more convenient to have my own car. Now I can only take the bus. Alas." After a trip to Jincheng, Jiang Aiguo also found that the gap between the Jiang family and the Lu family is getting bigger and bigger.
"Just because you can't afford it now doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. Uncle, work hard. I believe in you." Jiang Lili said, cheering him on.
"Thank you for thinking highly of me." Jiang Aiguo didn't even dare to think about buying a car, but she thought about it for him.
"Really, believe me, I never lie." Jiang Lili said seriously.
"Okay, then I'll take your good wishes and try to get a car as soon as possible. But before that, it wouldn't be too much to have a motorcycle first, right?" He said the last sentence to Zhou Qingfen. After all, the financial power of the family was in her hands.
"How can it not be excessive? It's only a short distance from your home to your workplace. Why do you need a motorcycle?" Zhou Qingfen glared at him after she finished speaking. She was really excited after going out for a trip.
"Okay." Jiang Aiguo also knew that she would never agree to buy it.
"It's okay if you don't buy it. You can just buy a car in one go when the time comes." Jiang Lili comforted.
"You might as well not say it." Jiang Aiguo snorted, and everyone laughed.
After getting off the bus, they went back to Jiang Aiguo's place first. They had too many things and needed to sort them out before sorting them out. After arriving home, Jiang Lili went to Jiang Qitong's room to get her schoolbag. As soon as she came out, she heard the phone ringing. She felt her heartbeat quicken. After she answered the phone, she said somewhat mechanically, "Hello, this is Jiang Aiguo."
Qiu Shaoli's voice soon came from the other end of the line: "Lili, Auntie is going to tell you something. Remember to stay calm. Your mother's test results are out, and one indicator is not good. Further review is needed."
