Chapter 78 He's Back
After a pause, Li Xu called out to Li Miao: "Miao Miao, you come too."
It is July now and the weather is already very hot. The greenhouse has been dismantled, otherwise the temperature would be so high that the vegetables would be burned.
Several people squatted beside the vegetable patch, looking at the tomatoes and cucumbers in the patch, all of them were a little surprised.
"I haven't been back for two weeks, and the vegetables have grown so well?" Li Miao said with some surprise, reaching out to touch the tomatoes on the branches.
Zhang Kun nodded: "Not bad, they are big and red in color. If all of them are of this quality, they should be easy to sell."
Li Xu smiled, reached out and picked a tomato, broke it in half with her bare hands, handed one half to Zhang Kun and the other half to Li Miao: "Try it, how does it taste?"
Li Miao took the first bite, and his eyes lit up instantly: "It's sour and sweet, and tastes good."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kun also took a bite.
He nodded with satisfaction: "This tomato is of top quality."
Li Xu looked at Li Miao and said, "As long as the greenhouse is built, our parents will definitely be able to take good care of it. Vegetables are in short supply in winter, and our vegetables are of good quality, so we will definitely be able to sell them at a good price."
Li Miao looked at the tomatoes in his hand, looking thoughtful.
Zhang Kun nodded: "These days, as long as you have skills and are hardworking and capable, you can always live a good life."
Li Miao pursed her lips, tears seemed to glisten in her eyes.
Ji Yuanyuan was standing right opposite Li Miao and could see it clearly.
Li Xu's method was correct. It let Li Miao know that there was a way out at home and things would get better in the future.
In this way, Li Miao will be able to relieve the pressure in his heart and perform well in the exam.
Zhang Kun seemed to have noticed something and called out to Ji Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, take Uncle Zhang to the grocery store. Can we buy some sweet water?"
Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, Ji Ziang beside her raised his hand and said, "Uncle Zhang, I want to go too."
Zhang Kun smiled and said, "Let's go."
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Ziang stepped forward and each grabbed one of Zhang Kun's hands.
"Zixuan, come with us." Zhang Kun finally called Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan didn't say anything, but stood up and walked towards Zhang Kun.
Seeing the condition of the three children and Zhang Kun, Li Miao looked somewhat relieved.
After Zhang Kun led the three children out, Li Miao spoke up: "I heard from my second brother on the way that Brother Zhang is a very good person. Sister, you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship you've endured."
Li Xu didn't hesitate at all this time and nodded directly, "Yes, he is a very nice person. He said he is willing to treat the children as his own. Meeting him is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes."
After a pause, Li Xu looked at Li Miao and whispered, "Miao Miao, your elder brother will be back in two months. Our family will be better and better. Don't feel any burden, okay?"
Hearing this, Li Miao nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely do well in the exam and will not let you down."
"You still don't understand what I mean!" Li Xu shook her head. "No matter how you do in the exam, you are still my good sister. My family lets you go to school, not because we expect you to get into college and change the fate of our family, but because we want you to change your own fate."
At this point, she smiled and said, "Look at me. I graduated from high school and couldn't find a good job. Now I can only sell vegetables and do some manual labor to make money. But look at other college students. They sit in the office and make money easily. I hope you can live an easier life than me in the future, understand?"
Li Miao really understood what Li Xu said this time and nodded vigorously: "I understand."
Soon, Zhang Kun came back with a few children.
I also brought back a few bottles of sweet water.
At the dinner table, Li Zhiming was happy. He asked Li Yong to open a bottle of wine, and he and Zhang Kun drank two glasses.
Zhang Kun could also see that Li Xu's parents were very satisfied with him. He was so happy that he also drank two glasses.
The adults naturally progressed more slowly since they drank, but the children didn't drink and finished their meal quickly. After they finished, Li Miao took them outside to play.
After returning to the countryside, Ji Ziang began to let himself go.
He saw what seemed to be a bird's nest on the locust tree at the door and insisted on going up to rob the nest.
Li Miao had no choice but to continue: "Be careful, don't fall."
Ji Ziang patted his chest and assured: "Who am I? How could I fall?"
He rubbed his way twice and crawled to the vicinity of the bird's nest.
Li Miao was watching from below with fear in his heart, not daring to miss a thing.
Ji Ziang stood up and reached the vicinity of the bird's nest.
He leaned over and took a look, his expression suddenly looked a little disappointed: "Oh, there's nothing, huh?"
Suddenly, he looked up and exclaimed, with a look of surprise on his face.
"That person, why does he look so much like him?" Ji Ziang said, stretching his neck.
Li Miao asked perfunctorily from below: "Who is it? If you are not here, come down first. You can see more clearly from below."
After Li Miao finished speaking, Ji Ziang's face darkened and he quickly went down.
Not until Ji Ziang landed on the ground did Li Miao's heart finally settle down.
She was about to say something to Ji Ziang when she saw Ji Ziang running into the yard.
Li Miao sighed helplessly: "Who did Ji Ziang inherit this personality from?"
She reached out her hand and patted Ji Yuanyuan's clothes: "Okay, let's go home..."
But he stopped mid-sentence.
Not far away, a car was slowly driving towards them.
Li Miao will probably never forget the person sitting in the driver's seat in his life.
It was this person who caused her sister to suffer for so many years.
"He dares to come..." Li Miao murmured, his voice gritting his teeth.
Ji Yuanyuan was also very surprised to see Ji Jianguo.
It seems that Ji Jianguo has made a fortune. He is wearing a suit, driving a car, and has a proud look in his eyes. It seems that he came here to show off.
By the way, the financial crisis had already begun in July, starting from Southeast Asia and sweeping across Asia.
I guess the news hasn't reached here yet, that's why Ji Jianguo is so proud.
In another ten days or half a month, Ji Jianguo probably won’t even have time to cry.
Ji Ziang hurried back into the house and said to Li Xu who was eating at the table, "Mom, he's back and is standing at our doorstep now!"
This was a confusing statement. Li Xu frowned and asked, "Who's here?"
After a pause, he asked with some surprise: "Is it your uncle? Isn't there still two months left?"
Ji Ziang saw that Li Xu had strayed from his thoughts and quickly shook his head: "No, it's the one with the last name Ji."
The one with the surname Ji? There are three people with the surname Ji here! However, Li Xu quickly realized who the one with the surname Ji that Ji Ziang was talking about was.
"Ji Jianguo? What is he here for?" Li Xu murmured, looking at Zhang Kun subconsciously.
