Chapter 212 Go back to my house?
The truck came over and three people worked together to move the tomatoes. In less than an hour, all the tomatoes were unloaded.
Some of them were neatly stacked in the small warehouse, and the rest were stacked against the wall in the large room outside.
After unloading, all three of them were sweating profusely.
Li Xu settled the bill, gave the driver two bottles of water, and said politely, "Brother, how about we take a break before we go?"
The driver waved his hand and said, "No, no, my wife and kids are waiting for me to go home!"
Li Xu was also very tired, so he didn't stay when he saw this.
After the driver left, Li Xu sat down on the cashier counter and drank water in big gulps.
"Are you tired?" Zhang Kun stepped forward and helped Li Xu massage his arm.
Li Xu shook her head: "It's okay, not very tired."
Zhang Kun shook his head helplessly and helped her massage carefully.
"By the way, the landlord contacted me and said he wanted to sell the shop because he was short of money." Li Xu whispered, "If I want it, he will consider me first. The price is quite cheap, I want to buy it!"
After all, this is where she made her fortune.
"Now? Aren't we a little short of money now? Can we talk to the landlord and wait until next year?" Zhang Kun asked in a low voice.
He had just bought this house and had spent all the money he had. He hadn't saved much money from the salary of the past two months, so if Li Xu wanted to buy a house, he couldn't really help much now.
"It's okay, I still have enough money!" Li Xu whispered, "Besides, the lease period hasn't expired yet. If the landlord wasn't in a hurry to get the money, he wouldn't have discussed selling it with me now."
This house is about 50 square meters, and the price offered by the landlord is quite sincere.
Twenty thousand yuan, which works out to four hundred yuan per square meter.
This price is considered cheap even in this period.
If the landlord wasn't in urgent need of money and wanted to find a buyer who could pay 20,000 yuan at once, he probably wouldn't have offered such a low price.
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it too.
Li Xu was so excited that she almost paid the deposit on the spot.
But now she is married to Zhang Kun, so no matter what happens, she has to discuss it with Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun was a little surprised to hear Li Xu say that he had money, but he still nodded and said, "Since you have money and this opportunity is rare, then buy it. This house is also an investment, you can't lose money."
Seeing Zhang Kun agreed, Li Xu nodded happily: "Then wait until tomorrow, I will ask the landlord to come over and we will get things done."
Zhang Kun continued to knead for a while, then patted Li Xu's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go home."
On the way back, Li Xu thought of something else: "Oh, call your parents tomorrow and discuss with them that we should go home on the 28th of the lunar year. I want to stay open for two more days. The business is the best before the New Year, so I can stay at home for two more days after the New Year."
Since Li Xu asked Zhang Kun to make the call, the father and mother Li Xu mentioned must be Zhang Kun's parents.
"Will you come back to my home for the New Year this year?" Zhang Kun asked uncertainly.
"Of course. We've both got our marriage certificates, so where else can we spend the New Year if not back at your house?" Li Xu said as if it was a matter of course.
This was something Zhang Kun had not expected.
After all, he was outnumbered in this family and had little say.
But he didn't expect that Li Xu would take the initiative to suggest going to his house for the New Year.
"Okay, then I'll talk to my parents and we'll go back later." Zhang Kun nodded excitedly.
Li Xu caught a glimpse of Zhang Kun's expression and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
Zhang Kun has many advantages, and being easily content is one of them.
Just like now, I was supposed to go to his house for the New Year. But he didn't take it for granted, and was so happy when I suggested going to his house for the New Year.
If people can easily be content, their life will not be too bad.
Thinking of this, Li Xu held Zhang Kun's hand tightly, "When will your company have a holiday? Then we can go buy some things to bring back."
"The company hasn't said anything yet, but according to the usual practice in previous years, it should be around the New Year's Eve."
…
Early the next morning, before going to work, Zhang Kun helped Li Xu place several baskets of tomatoes at the door.
Four or five baskets of tomatoes were harvested in the morning.
Seeing that Li Xu was extremely busy, Ji Yuanyuan called Qin Mucheng.
"Brother Mu Cheng, I won't go over today. My mother's store is too busy. I need to look after the store with my mother." Ji Yuanyuan explained seriously, "If I'm not busy tomorrow, I'll come to see you."
However, after Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Qin Mucheng said, "It's okay, I'll ask Uncle Gong to take me to find you later, and I'll help Auntie too!"
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it and said tactfully: "Then you can discuss it with Grandpa Qin."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mucheng looked at Qin Junshan next to him.
Before he could say anything, Qin Junshan already understood what his grandson wanted to say.
Aren’t you just in a hurry to find your granddaughter-in-law?
He waved his hands, pretending to be impatient: "Go quickly, go quickly, don't bother me at home."
Qin Mucheng heard this and said with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa."
After saying that, he trotted off to find Gong Wenbai.
That impatient look made Qin Junshan sigh helplessly.
After Gong Wenbo confirmed with Qin Junshan, he drove Qin Mucheng to Li Xu's store.
When Qin Mucheng came over, Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were outside, helping customers pack tomatoes into bags, while Ji Yuanyuan was collecting money behind the cash register.
Her expression was very serious. She held the money in her little hands and counted it, muttering to herself.
After a while, she put the money back into the cabinet, took out a few coins from it, put them in the customer's hand, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you for coming, please take care!"
Li Xu was responsible for weighing the dishes and counting the money, and she had a calculator at hand.
The mother and daughter work very well together.
After seeing off a customer, Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked outside.
Only then did he see Qin Mucheng and Gong Wenbai standing across the street.
She laughed again and waved at Qin Mucheng.
There are not so many customers in the store now. Ji Yuanyuan has been busy here for a long time, and Li Xu feels distressed.
She quickly said, "Okay, I'll be alone here, you go out and play with Brother Mu Cheng."
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it seriously and felt that what Li Xu said made sense.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the store, she went out to accompany Qin Mucheng for a while.
When there are more people in the store, she will come back to help.
She went to the bathroom to wash her hands, then ran outside to meet Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng was already helping customers pack tomatoes in the front. He was very careful in his work and handled each tomato with care.
