Chapter 214 Waiting for You to Grow Up
Li Xu and Zhang Kun's affairs lasted until almost eleven o'clock.
After paying 20,000 yuan, the storefront completely became Li Xu's.
The formalities have been completed, but the paper documents have not been received yet.
I'll just take some time another day to handle the paper documents.
After finishing his work, Zhang Kun went straight back to the unit. He was also responsible for the food and drink of dozens of people in the unit.
Li Xu hurried back to the store.
How could she not worry when leaving the store to two little kids?
However, when Li Xu returned to the store, everything was in order.
Gong Wenbo and Ji Ziang were playing outside the store, and the basket of tomatoes was almost empty. Ji Zixuan was standing nearby, holding a few plastic bags.
Inside the store, Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan stood behind the cashier counter. A customer was checking out, and the two looked very respectable.
Seeing this, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked into the store slowly, and only then did Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng realize that she was back.
After seeing off the customer, Ji Yuanyuan quickly said to Li Xu, "Mom, Brother Mu Cheng is so smart. He remembered the price of the vegetables after I only told him once, and he didn't even need a calculator when he was calculating!"
Li Xu was also very supportive: "Wow, Mu Cheng is so smart!"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yeah, you're so smart!"
Li Xu looked at her daughter and laughed, "Why are you so happy to be praised by Mu Cheng? Don't just be happy, you should learn from your brother Mu Cheng, okay?"
"Brother Mu Cheng has a natural memory. How can I learn this? But I can learn other things from Brother Mu Cheng. Brother Mu Cheng is also excellent in other aspects."
"Of course!"
The back and forth between the mother and daughter made Qin Mucheng feel a little embarrassed.
Li Xu patted Qin Mucheng on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie will give you some money, go buy some candy."
She walked into the cashier counter, took out a ten-dollar bill, and put it in Qin Mucheng's hand: "Go ahead, go play!"
"Auntie, I don't want it!" Qin Mucheng put the money in Li Xu's hand without any hesitation, and then took Ji Yuanyuan's hand: "Let's go out and play."
Li Xu was about to speak when the two little ones went out to play hand in hand.
She sat down, took a pen and paper, and began to do the math.
After buying this shop, there was only a little over 15,000 yuan left in the passbook.
The tomatoes brought home yesterday weighed more than 8,130 kilograms. At 40 cents, she still has to give her family 3,300 yuan.
She planned to withdraw the money and send it back in the next few days.
In this case, there will only be twelve thousand left in the account.
Just as he was calculating the bill, he heard Ji Ziang's excited voice: "Uncle, why are you here?"
Uncle? Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked outside.
Sure enough, Li Lei was standing at the door, and Meng Xiaoning was standing next to him.
Ji Ziang's shout attracted Ji Zixuan, Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng.
Several children surrounded the two people and shouted for help.
"Uncle, hello, aunt."
"Uncle, aunt, why are you here?"
“Uncle, aunt!”
Li Lei nodded one by one and said, "My uncle bought some fruit for you. Zixuan, go wash some and give them to them!"
He handed one of the bags in his hand to Ji Zixuan.
There are strawberries inside.
Ji Zixuan carried the strawberries into the house, and Li Lei also took Meng Xiaoning into the store. He put the remaining bags on the cash register.
Also some fruits, bananas, apples and oranges.
"Sister!" Meng Xiaoning took Li Lei's hand and called her affectionately.
"Hey!" Li Xu agreed readily, and then asked, "Are you two here to go shopping? Why are you dressed like this?"
She looked at Li Lei's cotton jacket and asked with some disgust.
This cotton-padded jacket is so dirty. He didn't even bother to change into clean clothes when he came to go shopping.
Thinking of this, Li Xu urged: "Go buy a new outfit quickly, you will be laughed at if you wear this!"
As she spoke, she opened the drawer and was about to take money out for Li Lei.
Li Lei quickly said: "Sister, we are not here to go shopping, we are here to sell things."
Seeing Li Xu's surprised expression, Li Lei explained, "There are still a lot of tomatoes in the greenhouse. We're afraid they'll go bad if we keep them, and you don't need many. We're thinking of selling the rest. Anyway, we don't have much to do at home recently. Xiaoning and I went to the nearby vegetable market, and Xiaoyong and Miaomiao went to the big market in Qili Village."
"You are so old, how can you still be so unreliable? Did your parents agree?" Li Xu's face turned cold when he heard it, and he scolded, "How can you let the bride run around and do chores on the second day of her wedding?"
"Sister, please stop scolding him. I wanted to work on my own. We have nothing to do anyway, and we can't just watch the tomatoes in the shed rot, can we?" Meng Xiaoning quickly spoke well of Li Lei.
"Besides, I can come here and see my mother, which is also good."
Seeing that Meng Xiaoning didn't care, Li Xu sighed deeply and then said, "Have you sold out? If you haven't sold out yet, bring them to me. My warehouse sells very quickly."
Li Lei nodded: "We didn't dare to get more, so we brought over a dozen baskets, and we sold them all."
"Okay, since you're here, I don't have to make a trip. I'll go get the money later and you can take it back." Li Xu said.
Listening to Li Xu's words, Li Lei was a little surprised: "What do you mean? You don't plan to go home for the New Year this year?"
"Are you crazy? Your brother-in-law and I have already obtained our marriage certificate, so we must go back to his house for the New Year."
Li Lei finally reacted. He touched his nose awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.
After a moment, he whispered, "My family is discussing buying a diesel tricycle. You don't have to find someone to pull it anymore. Xiaoyong and I will bring it to you directly if we are free."
Li Xu listened to Li Lei's words and nodded thoughtfully: "Buy it, it's very useful."
Several children were nearby, and when they heard Li Lei's words, Ji Ziang and Qin Mucheng's eyes lit up.
"Diesel-burning?" Ji Ziang stepped forward and stared at Li Lei eagerly, "Uncle, do we really want to buy it?"
Li Lei nodded: "Of course, I'll buy it after a while!"
Ji Ziang became happy, "Uncle, can you drive?"
"Of course, your uncle learned to drive when he was in the army." Li Xu said with some pride when he heard this.
"Then uncle, can you also teach me how to drive? I also want to drive..." Ji Ziang took Li Lei's hand and smiled ingratiatingly.
Looking at Ji Ziang's expression, Li Lei patted his head helplessly: "Only adults can drive. It is illegal for children to drive. You can learn when you grow up!"
Ji Ziang was obviously a little disappointed. He said "oh" and the smile on his face almost disappeared.
