Xu Li eventually came to Ruxu to live and study alone.
Originally, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang had discussed that Zhao Mingfang would put aside the work at hand and travel between Ruxu and Jiahe, or simply take care of the children in Ruxu while working remotely, and then return to Jiahe to deal with important matters in the company if there were any.
But this decision was rejected by Xu Li.
According to Xu Li, "Mom, if you do this, when I come back, the first thing I see when I enter the house is you working on your computer instead of a table full of hot meals waiting for me. In that case, you might as well just let me eat in the cafeteria!"
After hearing Xu Li's words, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang fell silent.
But Zhao Mingfang thought for a moment and said, "I can hire a housekeeper to do cooking, washing clothes and cleaning. Isn't it better to let the housekeeper do it?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Mingfang said this, Xu Li choked her with a remark, "Then what's the point of you staying in Ruxu? My aunt has to do everything, so why don't you just hire an aunt to take care of me, and you and my dad can just stay at home and work?"
Zhao Mingfang and Xu Jiacheng were speechless after hearing this and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
When Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang wanted to continue speaking, they were interrupted by Xu Li.
Xu Li continued, "Dad, Mom, I'm just going to school, not doing anything else. It's nothing. I can take care of myself!"
"Besides, if you guys still want to worry about this kind of thing for me and plan to come and take care of me, then when I go to college, are you also going to travel thousands of miles to buy a house next to my university to take care of me?"
In the end, Xu Li successfully persuaded Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang to agree to let their only son stay in Ruxu alone to continue his study journey of less than a year, which was not long but not short either.
In order to give their son a comfortable environment to study in Ruxu County, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang put down their work and drove with Xu Li to Ruxu County.
Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang took their son Xu Li to treat the school leaders to a meal. After Xu Li got to know the school leaders, they began to deal with some miscellaneous matters that Xu Li might encounter during his studies.
Although it is studying, studying is also inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The first thing Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang had to solve for Xu Li was the housing problem.
No matter what, the place to stay must be solved first.
So Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang directly found an agent and found a second-hand commercial house in a nice newly built community near the No. 2 Middle School. After they were satisfied with the price, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang bought it directly.
Yes, buy, not rent.
Originally, Zhao Mingfang planned to rent it, but as a businessman, Xu Jiacheng had a keen sense of nose. He found that the real estate market in Ruxu County had been rising steadily in recent years, especially in the past two years, with house prices rising by hundreds of dollars a year.
If he invests in a house now, when Xu Li finishes his studies and leaves Ruxu to return to Jiahe in a year, Xu Jiacheng can sell the house and maybe even make back the money Xu Li's tuition and school selection fees.
What's more, if he chooses to rent a house, there may be all kinds of messy issues that he has to negotiate with the landlord. Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang are not in Ruxu, so his son Xu Li will definitely be troubled by these problems and will be distracted by these things.
Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang simply couldn't bear to see their son Xu Li's extremely precious energy being wasted on such things, so it was particularly appropriate for Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang to choose to buy a house.
Once the housing problem is solved, clothing and food will be easier to solve.
As for the problem of meals, Zhao Mingfang and Xu Jiacheng directly found a housekeeping company and hired an aunt who looked quite honest to take care of Xu Li's meals. Of course, washing clothes and cooking were all included.
After solving all the problems the couple could think of, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang reluctantly returned to Jiahe.
When Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang left, Xu Li immediately let himself go.
As far as he can remember, he has always been taken care of by his family and has never lived alone.
So now that he finally has the opportunity to live alone, Xu Li feels a sense of freshness and freedom that he has never felt before.
“Wuhu!”
Xu Li roared happily, threw himself heavily onto the bed, and rolled around in the quilt.
However, Xu Li's happiness did not last long, as he did not forget the purpose of his visit to Ruxu.
So after playing on the bed for a while, Xu Li sat up, returned to the desk, opened the book, and started reviewing.
Time passed by minute by minute as Xu Li was concentrating on reviewing. When Xu Li came back to his senses from the ocean of studying, it was already past four in the afternoon, almost five o'clock.
"Oh my god, it's almost five o'clock!" Xu Li looked at the time on the table and sighed, "Three hours have passed just like that? If this had happened when I was in Jiahe No. 1 Middle School, I would never have dared to think about it!"
Xu Li sometimes finds it magical that it was so difficult for him to learn when he was in Jiahe No. 1 Middle School. But after being taught by Teacher Zhou for a period of time, he feels that he can quickly get into the state no matter what he learns.
I can’t figure it out. I can’t figure it out at all!
Xu Li shook his head. He had no idea what the reason was. He could only attribute it to Mr. Zhou’s excellent lectures, which enabled him to understand the knowledge in the textbook in a very short time!
Otherwise, there is no other explanation! Could it be that Mr. Zhou is cheating? Just like what is written in the novel, he has a system that can make him stronger by shouting "deep blue plus points"?
How is that possible!
Xu Li couldn't help but laugh at his own imagination.
Thinking of this, Xu Li stood up from the table and planned to look for something to eat in the refrigerator in the living room. Before leaving, Zhao Mingfang and Xu Jiacheng bought a lot of food and snacks for Xu Li and stuffed them into the refrigerator so that Xu Li could eat some when he was hungry after studying.
