Chapter 121 I Want to Resign
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly spoke well of Li Yong: "He came not long after you left. Second uncle is very diligent. Not only did he wash the dishes and mop the floor, he even cleaned the dining table and coffee table."
As she spoke, Ji Yuanyuan's little hand touched the coffee table and then showed it to Li Xu: "Mom, look, it's so clean!"
Li Yong was carrying a bicycle in. When he heard Ji Yuanyuan's words, he couldn't help but give her an appreciative look.
Li Xu pulled the corners of his lips calmly and said nothing.
Ji Yuanyuan gave Li Yong a look: I can’t do it anymore, you do it!
Li Yong quickly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Yuanyuan, what do you want to eat tonight? Your uncle will make it for you!"
Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, Ji Ziang ran over and said, "Uncle, can you make some sweet and sour pork ribs? I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!"
"Li Yong, come with me, I have something to say to you!" Li Xu said, then stood up and went into her bedroom.
What is coming will come. I just hope that elder sister can see how attentive he was just now and scold him less!
Li Yong ignored Ji Ziang, hung his head, and followed Li Xu into the bedroom.
Ji Ziang touched his head and muttered awkwardly: "Why are you ignoring me? Can you eat?"
Zhang Kun found him funny when he saw him like this.
"It's edible!" He took the car keys and said, "Let's go buy some meat!"
Ji Ziang became happy again and immediately went to put on his clothes and change his shoes.
In the bedroom, Li Yong stood behind the door, lowered his head, waiting to be scolded.
However, after waiting for a long time, Li Xu didn't say anything.
He looked up quietly in surprise and saw Li Xu looking at him, but the look in her eyes was a little confusing for him.
It was like he was passing through the present and seeing the future.
"Do you like Qin Xiaomin?" Seeing Li Yong looking at him, Li Xu came back to his senses and asked.
Her tone was very tired.
Li Yong didn't speak for a long time. He was picking at his nails a little nervously.
Yes, he liked Qin Xiaomin. But when facing Li Xu, he couldn't say these words for some reason.
After all, he was her brother, and Li Xu knew him. From his actions, she knew the answer.
"I don't have to interfere with your feelings, nor do I look down on you. But Xiaoyong, can you give Qin Xiaomin a future?" Li Xu rubbed his head, thinking about how to say it so as not to hurt Li Yong's self-esteem as much as possible.
"You've been to Qin Xiaomin's home, you should know. Qin Xiaomin's living standard since childhood has been much higher than ours." Although Li Xu had never been there, from the children's descriptions, she could imagine how good Qin Xiaomin's family conditions must be.
A single-family villa, mahogany furniture, high-end home appliances...
In fact, it is easy to know that Qin Xiaomin's father is the director of the Railway Bureau!
At that time, Ji Jianguo was just a grassroots employee of the Railway Bureau. In the eyes of the villagers, that was a job that one could only find if one's ancestors had burned incense to help him.
"Even if Qin Xiaomin is willing to suffer with you, what about her parents? Sometimes, it's not enough to just have feelings for her and treat her well." Li Xu whispered, "By then, I'm afraid you will get hurt."
"Sister, although I have never had a girlfriend, I have met many before." Li Yong finally spoke after a moment.
People around him had also introduced it to him.
He has dated several women, tall, short, fat, and thin!
"But I'm not happy at all when I see them. Xiao Min is different. I'm happy whenever I see her. When I don't see her, I dream of seeing her." Li Yong whispered, "I know I can't give her a better life than she has now, but I can't control myself!"
Looking at Li Yong's appearance, how could Li Xu not feel distressed?
"Sister, don't worry, I will listen to you." Li Yong sniffed and explained, "Today is really a coincidence. We met on the road and went there together..."
Li Xu looked at his brother and felt a little dazed.
"Sister, I want to resign!" Li Yong said suddenly.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment: "Resign?"
"Yes, I told you before that the restaurant is not doing well now. We were supposed to pay salaries on the 20th of every month, but it has not been paid until now..."
"It hasn't been sent yet?" Li Xu asked in surprise, "It's been delayed for half a month, why hasn't it been sent yet?"
"The boss said that money was tight and he had already fired several people. I was kept because I'm hardworking and my cooking skills are good. But I think if this continues, I'll be fired sooner or later. Now there's a financial crisis, and I don't think this restaurant will be able to get back on track for a while!" Li Yong whispered.
"You've quit your job because of the financial crisis. Where can you find a job? Even my grocery business has been affected. What else can you do?" Li Xu frowned. "You've had your birthday. You're almost 26. You're not a kid anymore!"
"Sister, you say..." Li Yong hesitated, "How about I go home and grow greenhouses with my parents?"
Li Xu disagreed, "We finally got out of the fields, how can we go back? Parents won't agree."
"I've worked in this restaurant my whole life, and I'm just a chef. I only make 300 yuan a month. Food and clothing are no problem, but... if I grow crops well, I can make as much as I do now. What's more, we have more than seven acres of land, and we've planted so many vegetables this year, I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to handle it."
What Li Yong said makes sense.
"You are old enough, you can make your own decisions. If you have made up your mind, I won't stop you!" Li Xu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief and rolled up his sleeves: "Sister, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go cook!"
Li Xu shook his head and walked out of the bedroom.
After going out, I found that Ji Yuanyuan was the only one left at home.
"Where are they?" Li Yong asked curiously.
"My second brother wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, so Uncle Zhang took him out to buy ribs." Ji Yuanyuan explained.
Li Yong went to the kitchen angrily: "Your second brother is greedy, why eat sweet and sour pork ribs!"
With Zhang Kun around, Ji Ziang was able to eat the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs as he wished.
The next morning, Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu got up early as usual to make soup.
At around nine o'clock, Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang finished their homework and took Ji Yuanyuan to Qin's house.
It was Qin Junshan's driver who came to pick them up.
After all, they are three children, and Qin Junshan is afraid that something might happen on the way.
One old man and three children, they get along very happily.
The three children stayed at Qinjun Mountain until after dinner and then left.
The driver dropped them off at the door of Li Xu's vegetable store and watched them go into the store before leaving.
As soon as Ji Yuanyuan entered the store, she saw an unexpected person: Ji Jianguo!
She frowned subconsciously: Why is Ji Jianguo here?
