Chapter 70 Uncle Zhang is Here

Li Xu whispered, "There are many places where our family needs money. Your eldest brother and second brother are not married yet, and you still have to go to college and get married in the future. You will need money everywhere. You can't make much money by growing corn and wheat every year, so I want to pool money with your second brother to build a greenhouse for our family and grow some off-season vegetables in the winter. In a year, I won't say much, but I'm sure there will be several thousand yuan."

Li Miao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?"

Looking at Li Miao's expression, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little sad.

As far as I can remember, my aunt in my previous life was admitted to a university, but it was a second-tier university that was not very good. Later, she got married and her life was also a mess.

Li Miao put too much pressure on herself. She always felt that her family was so poor but still supported her to go to school, so she had to do something good to live up to their expectations.

Sometimes, pressure is a driving force. But sometimes, too much pressure will affect people's pace of progress.

Li Miao belongs to the latter category. She is under too much psychological pressure.

I always think of myself as an investment of the Li family. If there is no return, I will let the whole family down.

"Aunt, we will make a lot of money in the future. You study hard. Even if you fail to pass the exam this year, you will definitely pass it next year." Ji Yuanyuan looked up, touched Li Miao's face, and said.

Li Miao was amused by Ji Yuanyuan's serious look.

"Okay, Auntie, study hard, and you should study hard too."

Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Li Xu quickly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, hurry out, so that your parents won't worry about you."

Li Miao raised her hand, wiped the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "I know, sister."

Li Miao followed Li Xu out. Liu Guihua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Miao's expression.

Everyone could tell from Li Miao's reaction that her results in the mock exam were probably not ideal, so everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the results to avoid making Li Miao feel bad.

Li Yong had to work on the weekend, so he returned to the city on Saturday night.

Li Xu stayed with the children until the weekend afternoon before returning home.

When they got downstairs, Li Xu stopped the car, but before he even stopped, Ji Ziang and Ji Zixuan jumped out of the car and ran upstairs.

Li Xu shook his head helplessly and carried Ji Yuanyuan down from the car.

Then he locked the car and went upstairs.

However, after walking a few steps, he saw Ji Ziang coming down from the stairs panting.

"Mom, Mom..." He called Li Xu all the way while walking.

"What's wrong? Didn't you take the key?" Li Xu asked as he took out the key from his pocket.

Ji Ziang stopped, shook his head, and said, "No, it's Uncle Zhang..."

Hearing this name, Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan were both stunned.

Ji Yuanyuan reacted quickly, widened her eyes, and asked, "Is Uncle Zhang up there?"

Ji Ziang nodded: "Uncle Zhang is at our doorstep, and he brought a lot of delicious food."

This foodie only sees food.

Seeing Li Xu standing there in a daze, Ji Yuanyuan quickly held her hand and pulled her upstairs: "Mom, let's go quickly, Uncle Zhang must be waiting anxiously."

It’s not certain when it will come!

Li Xu let Ji Yuanyuan pull her upstairs, feeling a little confused.

She didn't know what to say after meeting Zhang Kun.

Things have come to this point, what does his coming mean?

Her words should be very clear, right?

When he was almost at the door of his house, Li Xu took a deep breath and felt inexplicably nervous.

When I went upstairs, Zhang Kun was indeed standing at the door.

He and Ji Zixuan stood together awkwardly.

The moment he saw Li Xu, his expression became even more embarrassed.

"Big...Li Xu, come and see the children." The moment he saw Li Xu, Zhang Kun subconsciously wanted to call her big sister.

But when he thought of the purpose of his trip, he had to swallow the word "sister".

He changed his address and called Li Xu's name directly.

After taking a look at Zhang Kun, Li Xu quickly lowered her head. She took the key and went to open the door: "Then don't stand outside. Come in."

After opening the door, Li Xu walked in first.

Ji Zixuan was very sensible and took the initiative to help Zhang Kun get the things. Seeing this, Ji Ziang also took the opportunity to look at the packaging box.

Zhang Kun stood at the door, looking a little nervous.

Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan took two steps forward and took the initiative to hold Zhang Kun's hand: "Uncle Zhang, come in, I'll pour you some water."

Zhang Kun lowered his head, and the moment he saw Ji Yuanyuan, he felt a little relieved.

After entering the room, Ji Yuanyuan pulled Zhang Kun to sit down on the sofa.

Ji Yuanyuan ran to the kitchen to pour some water for Zhang Kun, but Li Xu was already making tea in the kitchen.

"You're not needed here, go out and talk to Uncle Zhang."

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Xu's expression and nodded vigorously: "Okay, Mom, come quickly too."

After saying that, he went to the living room.

Zhang Kun sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling a little uneasy and not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

"Uncle Zhang, when did you come?" Ji Yuanyuan stood beside Zhang Kun and took the initiative to talk to him.

After someone spoke, Zhang Kun's mood became a little calmer.

"I came here around 2pm."

"Ah..." Ji Yuanyuan deliberately exclaimed, "Uncle Zhang, have you been waiting at the door for more than two hours?"

Zhang Kun subconsciously glanced towards the kitchen, then nodded: "Yes!"

He knew that Li Xu was always busy in the morning, so he chose to come in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, Li Xu was not at home.

He thought, no matter where he went, Li Xu would definitely come home on weekend afternoons.

The children have to go to school tomorrow morning.

He waited for two hours, but he was thinking about something and didn't feel the time was very long.

Li Xu lingered in the kitchen for a while, and when she was almost in peace, she came out with a cup of tea.

"Sorry, I took the kids to their grandmother's house on Friday night. My sister happened to be on vacation, so she wanted to go home and visit." Li Xu handed the tea to Zhang Kun, "Drink some water."

Zhang Kun quickly took over, "Yes, I know. Yongzi told me that you have a younger sister who is in the third year of high school this year, right?"

Li Xu nodded: "Yes, I am in the third year of high school."

"How are your grades?"

"Fortunately, I should be able to get into university."

…

The conversation between the two people was very polite, and Ji Yuanyuan guessed that Zhang Kun was too embarrassed to speak.

After all, there are three of them here!

"Brother, brother, can you accompany me to Yang Jingyi's house to play for a while?" Ji Yuanyuan ran to the door of the brothers' room and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ji Ziang was heartless and answered directly without giving it any thought.
