Chapter 15 It would be nice to have money
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan looked perfect in that vest, Li Yong stood up and said, "Okay, finish your meal and take a rest. I'll go back first."
"By the way, you just said Xiaolei will be back soon, what does that mean?" Li Xu suddenly thought of what Li Yong said to Ji Jianguo just now.
Xiaolei is Li Lei, the eldest son of the Li family. He has been serving in the army for many years.
"I came back this time because I received a letter from my eldest brother." Li Yong whispered, "My parents and I just read it at home. My eldest brother decided to retire and come back next September."
Li Lei joined the army when he was 20 years old, and this year is his seventh year.
"Have you decided? You risked your life to go there back then, why now..." Li Xu asked in some surprise.
Li Lei had a dream of becoming a soldier since he was a child. He had always wanted to join the army since he was 18 years old, but he was rejected because of his weight. In the second year, he passed all the indicators, but he broke his leg when he was about to join the army. In the third year, he finally joined the army safely.
Over the years, he has always performed well in the army. Li Xu thought he would continue to stay in the army, but who knew he would have the idea of retiring.
Li Yong heard this and sighed softly, "His girlfriend can't wait any longer, and my brother said that the army will give him a large sum of money for rehabilitation after he retires. He will have enough money for the wedding, and he can even have some left to do some small business."
When Li Lei went home to visit his relatives two years ago, his parents arranged a blind date for him.
The girl is from the next village. They got engaged that year and originally planned to get married in one or two years.
But this year, she changed her tone and said that as long as Li Lei didn't come back, she would not get married.
Li Xu thought of this and sighed helplessly: "Let him be, it's his own choice, just don't regret it in the future."
As he spoke, Li Xu stood up and took the box of peach cakes that Qin Xiaomin had given him in the morning, as well as some meat and vegetables that he had bought in the city today, "Take these back and give them to your parents."
Li Yong thought about it and felt that this was also an act of filial piety from his sister, so he did not refuse and took the things back.
Ji Yuanyuan was in the inner room and heard everything Li Xu and Li Yong said clearly.
It’s all because of lack of money!
My eldest and second uncles are not married yet, and my youngest aunt is still in school. Now that their family of four has moved back home, my grandparents must be under a lot of pressure.
The most urgent task now is to make money, but how can we get the money?
Ji Yuanyuan sighed.
How can she make use of the space? She has a golden finger in her hand, but she can't use it. It's really a waste of God's gift.
The next morning, Li Yong came over early. He brought some food with him. "My parents asked me to bring it here. They have gone to the fields. The potatoes have been harvested, and it's time to plant wheat."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Where's the axe? I'll chop the wood for you. And here's the water. I'll fill up the jar for you later."
Li Xu was naturally very rude when it came to using his own younger brother. He immediately found an axe and handed it to Li Yong.
Li Yong was busy working while Li Xu was washing clothes beside him.
Without a washing machine, clothes could only be washed by hand, and Li Xu’s hands were red from rubbing them.
"There is one more thing. The household registration issue is a little difficult to handle." Li Yong suddenly said, "Yours is easy to handle, as it is already in our household registration book, but Zixuan and Ziang's are a little more difficult to handle."
The two children’s household registration is with Ji Jianguo, so it is not easy to move them out.
Li Xu also knew that this was a difficult issue, but what about the two children's schooling?
"Or, why don't we let them go back to their previous school? At worst, I can pick them up and drop them off every day." Li Xu said in a low voice.
Li Yong was chopping wood and sighed, "If only I had money, I could buy a house in the city. As long as Ji Jianguo agrees, I can register my household registration in the city."
Yes, it would be nice to have money!
Li Xu's expression was a little gloomy.
Ji Yuanyuan was sitting nearby, her chin in her hand, looking thoughtful.
Suddenly, the door to the yard opened, and a familiar figure stood at the door: "Sister Li."
Qin Xiaomin stood at the door, shouting with a smile.
Li Yong was chopping wood. When he heard the sound, he looked over.
I saw a young girl standing at the door, with fair skin, graceful figure and picturesque eyes and eyebrows.
Li Yong was stunned for a moment.
Qin Xiaomin walked in, and then a few more people came in one after another.
A middle-aged couple, a child, and finally an old man with a cane.
These people were all dressed very fashionably and you could tell at first glance that they were not country people.
The middle-aged couple were carrying a lot of things in their hands.
Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew this middle-aged couple.
These were her father-in-law Qin Haowen and mother-in-law Cheng Shuqin from her previous life. The couple had a very good relationship, and Qin Mucheng's name was a testimony to that.
Qin Mucheng and Qin Haowen love Cheng Shuqin.
However, Qin Haowen died not long after Ji Yuanyuan entered the house. From then on, Cheng Shuqin devoted herself to Buddhism and never cared about worldly affairs again.
Although Ji Yuanyuan had never seen the old man walking at the end, she had seen his photo.
He is Qin Mucheng's grandfather, Qin Junshan. The old man spent his whole life in military service and passed away several years before Ji Yuanyuan entered the family.
Seeing these living people again now, Ji Yuanyuan just felt warm in his chest.
Li Xu was also a little stunned when she saw so many people. She stood up and wiped her hands on her apron, feeling a little helpless: "This is..."
Qin Xiaomin quickly said, "This is Mu Cheng's parents and grandfather. They came all the way from City B overnight to thank you for saving Mu Cheng."
Li Xu smiled awkwardly: "It's just a small favor, come in, it's cold outside..."
She said quickly, making a gesture of invitation.
Li Yong came back to his senses and said quickly: "I'll go buy some tea leaves and make some tea."
Just as he was about to go out, Qin Haowen stepped forward to stop him: "Brother, please don't be so polite. We don't want to drink tea. Come in and talk together."
Li Yong was pulled by him and had no choice but to follow him into the house.
The small room was instantly filled with so many people.
Although the house is new, Li Xu has just moved in and there is no place to sit.
Qin Mucheng had no choice but to help the old man sit on the kang.
The old man touched the warm kang and smiled, "Speaking of which, I really miss it. When I was working here, I also slept on a kang."
Qin Haowen explained: "My father stayed here for more than ten years, so it can be regarded as his second hometown."
Li Xu was a woman who was not good at speaking, so she could only smile and nod.
Ji Ziang, who was reading in the next room, heard the noise and ran out. When he saw so many gift boxes in the room, his eyes lit up instantly.
Qin Haowen had sharp eyes and spotted Ji Ziang immediately: "Little boy, come here, uncle!"
