Chapter 65 Taking the opportunity to promote
She has two children with her. We are not related at all. You can't just shamelessly stay overnight at her house, right?
But Li Xiaoying was reluctant to leave like this.
She didn't want to stay, but she felt that she had gotten along well with the Zhao family today, especially Zhao Liya, who was so straightforward and cheerful, which was beyond her expectations. Knowing that Zhao Liya could be the head of the family, she became even more interested.
But asking for help in connecting with the big boss on our first meeting seemed a bit too hasty. What if I ended up making things worse? Wouldn't today's good atmosphere be wasted?
After much deliberation, Li Xiaoying enthusiastically invited Zhao Liya to visit Bajiao Village. She then said with a smile, "Many families in Bajiao Village also grow those 'potatoes'. If Xiaoya wants to buy some, everyone will surely be happy to sell them. I wonder if what you bought in Zaihu Village is enough? If not, you can always buy from us in Bajiao Village!"
Little did he know that these words once again played into Zhao Liya's hands.
Zhao Liya nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "That's a coincidence. The big boss said he wants a lot. 80% of what we have in Zaihu Village is probably not enough. We will ask the boss later. If he needs more, we will definitely go to your village to get it!"
"Oh, good, good!" Li Xiaoying felt that she had finally accomplished something. She nodded and smiled repeatedly, saying, "Xiaoya, don't worry. The potatoes we grow in Bajiao Village are also very good!"
"Um!"
"How about you come over in a couple of days and visit us? And come visit us at home? Several of our jackfruits are almost ripe, and they're super delicious! Why don't you try them and pick a couple when you can? Our grapefruits are super delicious, too!"
Zhao Liya was a little moved when she heard this, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go and see it when I have time!"
"Hey, I've been waiting for you!" Li Xiaoying left happily.
Unexpectedly, the two children were reluctant to leave. The little brother and sister of the Zhao family were very nice, the puppy of the Zhao family was very cute, the food of the Zhao family was very delicious, and there were delicious peanut candies and osmanthus cakes, and there was also grandma.
The two children kept clamoring, "No, no!" and "We want to play more!" and refused to leave. Li Xiaoying patiently coaxed them, but they refused to listen. Li Xiaoying couldn't get angry and scold them in front of the host, so she had to continue coaxing them, secretly warning them with a glare, and trying to force them to leave.
Liang Ge'er was older, and although he still didn't want to leave, he didn't dare to make a fuss. His little face was full of grievance and unhappiness, with tears welling up in his eyes. He wanted to cry but didn't dare.
Xiaoduo was still young and didn't have so many concerns. She pouted her little mouth and started crying, breaking free from her mother's hand and throwing herself on her grandmother: "I want to play more, I won't leave!"
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin were reluctant to leave their friends, as they rarely had them. But unlike the children of rural Lingnan, they were reluctant to leave, but they didn't dare to make a scene. Zhao Lixiang shook her mother, Mrs. Deng's hand, and said softly, "Mom, please let Aunt Xiaoying and the others stay for a few days. We agreed to go fishing in the river tomorrow!"
Catching fish is such a fun thing. Liang Ge'er couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes any longer, and he also wiped his eyes and cried, "I, I want to play too."
Li Xiaoying was angry and embarrassed. She pulled them out while scolding them, "Hey, why are you two so disobedient? Let's come back next time. Let's go. Your father and grandparents are waiting for you to go back. We'll make you something delicious tonight. Let's go."
Aunt Li Shiyi was also busy trying to coax her.
Mrs. Deng smiled and said, "Since the children are reluctant to leave, and their grandmother is here anyway, why not let them stay here for two days? We can send Aya and the others back after that."
Zhao Liya also smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, if you are at ease, then let them stay. We have children at home anyway, so it will be less of a worry if they are together!"
"this--"
Li Xiaoying was willing, but she was afraid of bothering the Zhao family. Seeing Deng and Zhao Liya repeatedly entreat her to stay, she politely thanked them and agreed, letting them stay for the night and asking her mother to take them back the next day. The two children immediately burst into laughter. Zhao Lixiang and his sister also cheered. The adults couldn't help but laugh at this.
Li Xiaoying finally pulled Liang Ge'er aside and whispered some instructions to him and threatened him: listen to grandma, don't cause trouble, don't fight, don't touch things, otherwise you will be beaten when you go home tomorrow.
Children only care about being happy in the present moment, so who cares when "tomorrow" sounds so far away? Since their goal has been achieved, they will naturally nod happily and agree to whatever their parents say.
Li Xiaoying almost laughed out of anger when she saw this. What a careless thing!
She had no choice but to ask her mother: "Please keep an eye on this kid and don't let him make trouble. Otherwise, if she offends the Zhao family, wouldn't she become a sinner of Bajiao Village?"
Aunt Li Shiyi knew that the Zhao family were all kind people. Not to mention that their grandson and granddaughter were not so naughty, even if they did something, they would never vent their anger on adults because of children's play. She smiled and reassured her.
Li Xiaoying had no choice but to leave alone.
The children were so happy that they took their two puppies and played wildly in the yard.
Mrs. Deng was happy when she saw this, and said with a smile that it was better to have a lively home!
The next day, Zhao Liya, Hu Ling and others really took the children to the river to fish. Aunt Li Shiyi and Qu Yutao also went with them.
The water flow is gentle along the river and shallow near the shore, so it's not a problem.
Casting the net and pulling it up, watching the fresh fish and shrimp jumping around, the children were so happy that they rushed to catch the big fish from the fishing net.
For lunch, Zhao Liya carefully selected boneless mandarin fish and steamed them, fearing they might get stuck with fish bones. She minced the black fish, mixed it with eggs, and fried it into fish cakes. She then picked out the larger shrimp, removed the meat, and stir-fried them with peas from the garden. The adults then made some pickled fish, and dinner was ready.
Fried fish cakes
After lunch, Aunt Li Shiyi wanted to send the two children back home.
The two children had a great time playing, and they really missed their mother after being away from her for a night, so they didn't make a fuss this time. They said goodbye to their friends obediently. Although they were reluctant to leave, they agreed to play together next time and invited Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin to their home to play.
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Linke were very happy and agreed immediately.
After waving goodbye and watching his friends leave outside the yard gate, he couldn't wait to ask his mother and elder sister to agree to go to his friends' homes to play in two days.
Mrs. Deng smiled and embraced the two of them, and agreed with a smile.
Hu Linggeng went with Aunt Li Shiyi to send the two children off.
As a result, the Pan family insisted on having Aunt Li Shiyi and Hu Ling stay for dinner and overnight. Even the village headman was alarmed. The elders were so enthusiastic, they kept arguing and talking at once. Hu Ling couldn't refuse at all. He said that they would have dinner, but they absolutely couldn't stay overnight. He had to go home that night.
Yancun is different from other places, and he will feel uneasy if he doesn't go back.
Please, please, please give me all kinds of tickets and collections!
