Chapter 496 Return to the Countryside

Ji Yuanyuan tugged at the corner of Ji Zixuan's clothes, lowered her head, and looked thoughtful.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Ji Zixuan turned his head to look at her.

Just then, I saw Ji Yuanyuan raise her head with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"Brother, let's go back to our grandparents' house and stay for a few days? Li Xiang might stop crying if he sees his grandparents." Ji Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Ji Zixuan was silent for a moment: "What do you want to do?"

At this time, my sister suddenly said that she wanted to go back to the countryside, and it was definitely not just for Li Xiang.

Ji Yuanyuan put on an innocent expression: "What don't you want to do? I'm doing this for Li Xiang!"

Ji Zixuan reached out to stop the car and said, "Go back and discuss it with your parents first."

They got in a taxi and went home.

Ji Ziang had already returned with Li Xiang and was watching TV on the sofa in the living room.

Li Xiang didn't sleep at noon. He sat on the sofa, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice.

She held the doll she bought from the supermarket tightly in her hands.

Ji Ziang next to him was watching TV with fascination.

Ji Zixuan frowned and whispered, "Can't you see she's sleepy? Can't you take her to sleep for a while?"

Ji Ziang turned around and noticed Li Xiang's expression. He said awkwardly, "He was still chattering to me just now!"

Ji Zixuan shook his head helplessly, walked forward, and gently picked up Li Xiang.

Carried her to Ji Yuanyuan's room.

Li Xiang was also extremely sleepy. As soon as he touched the bed, he turned over, automatically found a comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Zixuan left the room and closed the door.

Li Xiang slept until about six in the evening.

Li Xu woke her up, saying that if she didn't get up she would not be able to sleep at night, and it was time for dinner.

At the dinner table, Ji Yuanyuan discussed returning to the countryside with Li Xu.

Li Xu was a little hesitant: "Your grandparents are busy enough, and they have to take care of you guys. Forget it, I'll take Xiang Xiang to sleep at night."

"How could that be? We are so old now, why do we need our grandparents to take care of us? We should be the ones helping our grandparents with work." Ji Ziang also wanted to go back and spoke for Ji Yuanyuan.

Li Xu was still a little hesitant: "I'll discuss it with your dad tonight."

However, before it was time to go to bed at night, Li Xu compromised.

The main reason is that Li Xiang is really hard to comfort when he starts crying.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never left her parents' side.

It's fine during the day, but it's no longer okay at night and no matter how I coax him, he won't be comforted.

She was about to pass out from crying, so Li Xu quickly said, "Sleep at your aunt's house tonight, and let your brother and sister take you home tomorrow, okay?"

Since my parents are not around, it should be better for me to be with my grandparents.

When he heard that he could go home, Li Xiang cried less hard.

After nearly an hour of coaxing, I finally got her to fall asleep.

Li Xu was exhausted and whispered to Zhang Kun, "Hurry up and let the children take Xiang Xiang back to the countryside tomorrow. If this continues, I'm going to have a heart attack."

Zhang Kun patted her back gently and whispered, "Okay, let them go back for two days. The children can relax and help our parents with some work."

Even though Ji Zixuan is in his third year of high school, he has already been admitted to school without taking the entrance exam, so there is no need to keep a close eye on him.

In addition to attending classes with his classmates, he has now found freshman textbooks to read on his own in his spare time.

Ji Zixuan had determined his direction long ago: mathematics.

He is interested in mathematics, and among many subjects, his mathematics grades are the best.

No matter what he chooses, as long as he likes it, Li Xu and Zhang Kun will naturally support him.

Early the next morning, Li Xu and Zhang Kun happily packed luggage for the children and sent them on the bus home.

Li Xu and Zhang Kun have been busy with company affairs these days. It has been a long time since the company's business license was obtained, but it doesn't even have a decent office. If it discusses cooperation with other companies in the future, it will not be a big deal.

Therefore, Li Xu and Zhang Kun have been busy looking for a suitable office location these days.

If Zhang Kun were to go and deliver it, it would take two hours to go back and forth, which would be a huge waste of time.

Besides, the kids are grown up now.

Ji Zixuan is over 1.8 meters tall, and Ji Ziang is over 1.7 meters tall.

Not to mention that you won’t meet bad guys, even if you do, you’ll probably be afraid of bad guys.

The bus only went to the county. After getting off the bus, several people got on Li Zhiming's tricycle and then returned to their home in the countryside.

Liu Guihua was taking care of Li Jie at home. She was very happy to see the children come back. She told Li Zhiming: "Go up the mountain and catch a chicken. I will make fried chicken for you at noon."

Li Zhiming nodded: "Okay!"

When going up the mountain to catch chickens, Ji Yuanyuan and his two brothers followed.

They hadn't been here for a long time. There were greenhouses everywhere along the way, and even the mountains were covered in white.

"Grandpa, have my eldest uncle and second uncle rented the entire mountain?" Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.

Before, they only contracted a part of the mountain to grow greenhouses, and they were still worried about the rest.

But now, the whole mountain is covered with greenhouses.

Li Zhiming sighed and said, "Yes, they have taken over the whole thing. No matter how much we persuade them, they won't listen. They have taken over the whole mountain."

Because the land is so large, Li Yong and Li Lei hired a lot of people.

Dafu was also among them. He was considered a small leader. He helped to look after his subordinates when Li Yong and Li Lei were not around.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Dafu saw Li Zhiming coming and hurried to greet him.

"The children are back now. Your aunt asked me to come and catch a chicken and make fried chicken for them." Li Zhiming said with a smile.

Dafu said quickly, "I'll go catch it. Uncle, you take the child and wait here for a while."

Li Zhiming said politely: "Thank you for your help."

Dafu waved his hand: "Why are you being polite?"

Then he turned and left.

"Now, not only people in our village are planting it, but people in several nearby villages are also planting it in greenhouses. The output has increased, but the price has dropped. The prices given by several vegetable vendors are getting lower and lower, alas..." Li Zhiming said helplessly.

The greenhouse has a high yield, and it is impossible to sell all the products just to Li Xu and the suppliers agreed upon previously.

So Li Yong and Li Lei will also sell part of it to vegetable vendors.

"Grandpa, as long as we control the quality of the vegetables well, we won't have to worry about not being able to sell them at a good price. Expanding production is a good thing. My mother will open more stores in the future. Maybe by then we can even harvest all the vegetables from our fields and it won't be enough!" Ji Yuanyuan comforted.

"Yes, grandpa, my mother has her own company now. Since she has a company, it is no longer a small matter, so you don't have to worry so much. You have been tired for most of your life, so just enjoy your life at home in the future." Ji Ziang comforted with a smile.

Ji Zixuan looked at him with relief in his eyes.
