Chapter 108 Different from Us
The weekend is still a long way off, and Zhang Kun and Li Yong probably won’t be able to go over to help, otherwise they could save the money for a chef.
But for such a happy occasion, just spend the money!
Although he knew they were busy, Li Xu still called them one by one.
We have to let them know and make them happy too.
I called Zhang Kun first. He was quite happy. "Great! My sister-in-law is amazing. She got into such a good university."
When Li Xu heard the word sister-in-law, her face turned red.
I originally thought that Zhang Kun was an honest and steady person, but after getting to know him, I found out that he would also say such ridiculous things.
"Go to hell, as her brother-in-law, think carefully these few days about what gift to give." After a pause, worried that Zhang Kun would buy something too expensive, he quickly added, "Don't buy something too expensive, otherwise Miaomiao will feel bad. Just buy something that's suitable in price and that she likes."
Zhang Kun was troubled when he heard this: "I don't know what she likes, I need you as her sister to give me some advice!"
"Okay, the phone bill is quite expensive. Let's talk about it another day when you are free." Li Xu was worried about the expensive phone bill, so he hung up the phone after a few words.
Zhang Kun looked at the hung up call, shook his head helplessly, and put the receiver back to its original place.
Seeing this, the old man in the reception room asked jokingly, "When are you going to have the party? Don't forget to invite me when the time comes!"
Zhang Kun rubbed his head shyly: "Maybe next year, don't worry, I won't forget you!"
…
After Li Xu hung up the call to Zhang Kun, she called Li Yong again. After waiting for less than ten seconds, Li Yong came over.
"Hey, sis, what's going on?"
Li Xu frowned: "Not busy?"
Li Yong smiled and said, "I'm not busy. What's the matter?"
"It's okay, I just want to tell you that Miaomiao received the admission letter."
"Really? Then I should go back home tomorrow? Do I have to hold a buffet or something? We haven't had a wedding in our family for a long time!" Li Yong said excitedly.
"You just want to go home all day and don't want to work anymore? How can your boss like you if you are so careless?" Li Xu advised helplessly, "I will take the children home soon. I will take care of the housework. Don't worry."
"Forget it, sister. We don't have any work here. Our boss will be happy if we ask for leave." There is no need to pay salaries, and this saves some money.
"Besides, if I take a day off, I will only be deducted ten yuan. If my family hires a master, it will cost more than ten yuan, right?" Li Yong did the math for Li Xu: "Speaking of which, if I take a day off, our family will still make money!"
"Okay, you can handle it yourself." Li Xu thought about it and realized that this was the case, so he said helplessly.
She finally realized that Li Yong's mind was not on work at all, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
At this age, I don’t even have a girlfriend. If I lose my job...
"Okay, then I'll take a day off tonight and go back early tomorrow morning. You just need to prepare the food." Li Yong said firmly.
This is an easy matter. There are plenty of vegetables in Yuanyuan’s space.
Just as the dishes in the store were almost sold out, Li Xu closed the store and returned to her parents' home with her three children.
When I got home, it was already past six in the evening.
It is summer now, and it is still light at around six o'clock. There are many people gathered at the door of my house, and there are traces of firecrackers on the ground.
Li Miao stood in the middle of the crowd, looking a little shy.
Each of the neighbors had peanuts, melon seeds and candies in their hands!
Seeing Li Xu coming back, the neighbors greeted her enthusiastically: "Xiao Xu is back?"
"Xiao Xu, your Li family is amazing. You have a college student, and he is a student from a key university!"
"From now on, your Li family will be different from ours~"
…
Li Zhiming, who usually doesn't like to talk much, smiled and said, "What's the difference? Aren't we still farmers working hard in the fields? Everyone, come to eat at noon tomorrow and share in the good fortune!"
Seeing Li Xu coming back, the family probably had something to say, so the neighbors left very tactfully.
Before leaving, everyone would step forward and grab a handful of candy peanuts and melon seeds.
Finally, the box was empty.
Liu Zhiming bent down, picked up the empty box, and went into the house first.
During the meal break, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua discussed: "There will be a big market in Qili Village tomorrow. Xiaoxu and I will go there to buy some vegetables. You go to the Xu family in front and buy a pig, then kill it and bring it back."
Liu Guihua was a little hesitant when she heard this: "One pig, isn't it too much? You can't finish it, right?"
The village is small and there aren’t many people. How could one pig feed them all?
"For such a big wedding, we have to entertain everyone well. People will give gifts. If we can't finish the food, just leave it there and we can eat it slowly." Li Zhiming frowned and said, "We can't just take half of it. They killed a good pig, who would we sell the remaining half to?"
The Xu family in front has a pigpen on the back mountain and raises a lot of pigs.
They are all neighbors. I guess if you buy one from him, he will sell it too!
Liu Guihua nodded: "His father, I understand. I will go there later and tell him first."
Li Miao stood nearby, listening to the conversation between his parents, and frowned with some heartache.
It costs at least two or three hundred dollars to buy a pig!
How long does it take for their family to earn these two or three hundred dollars?
But seeing her parents so happy, she couldn't bear to spoil their fun!
Li Xu naturally understood her sister's emotions. She reached out and patted Li Miao's hand, silently comforting her: Sister has money!
Li Miao pulled the corners of his lips reluctantly.
"You don't need to buy too much vegetables. There are quite a few left in my store, and I brought them all back." Li Xu said. Before coming, she and Ji Yuanyuan loaded a lot of vegetables onto the tricycle.
Eggplant, cucumber, rapeseed...
Li Zhiming nodded: "Okay, let's eat first, and then go to bed early after dinner, because we have to get up early tomorrow!"
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and gulped down all the porridge in it.
Even if there is a happy event at home, the greenhouse at home cannot be taken lightly. After dinner, Liu Guihua went to Xu's house first.
The other party agreed quite readily, after all, Li Miao was the first college student in the village. Logically speaking, this was a great joyous event for the whole village.
Not only did he agree to help slaughter the pigs, but he also gave me a much lower price.
After returning from Xu's house, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua went to sleep in the field with flashlights.
Ji Ziang thought it was a good thing and insisted on going with them.
Liu Zhiming had no choice but to take him with him.
Anyway, he is just a kid, even if he gets bitten by mosquitoes at night, it’s nothing.
The old couple Li Zhiming don’t sleep at home, so the old house is enough.
All four of them slept on the kang.
There was not even a fan in the room, and it was very hot. Before going to bed, Li Xu brought a basin of water and placed it in the room.
He wet the handkerchief and wiped Ji Yuanyuan's whole body with it before lying down.
Thanks to AiVjiushoushou for the reward, and thanks to Caiyue for the monthly ticket.
I’m adding another chapter today, plus the one I promised to add last night, so there are four chapters today!
