Chapter 120: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha
Two people were standing in front of a men's clothing store. The girl was saying something and Li Yong had a smile on his face.
The girl had her back to Li Xu and the others, while Li Yong was facing sideways.
So Li Xu and others clearly confirmed Li Yong's identity, but they couldn't see the girl's face.
"Hey? That aunt looks so familiar..." Ji Ziang suddenly said.
Zhang Kun was a little confused and subconsciously looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu was looking at Li Yong with a serious face, as if Li Yong had done something unforgivable.
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Do you want to go up and say hello?"
Li Xu nodded and said, "Just say hello and ask Xiaoyong to come to our house for dinner tonight."
Her face remained cold while she spoke.
Zhang Kun was wondering in his heart: Isn’t Li Xu always thinking about Li Yong finding a girlfriend as soon as possible?
Why is she unhappy when Li Yong goes shopping with girls now?
Zhang Kun didn't know why Li Xu was angry, but Ji Yuanyuan knew.
She silently lit a candle for Li Yong in her heart: Second uncle, I wish you good luck!
She held Li Xu's hand tightly and followed her steps closely.
Only a brainless guy like Ji Ziang couldn't see that the girl's back looked so familiar, it was obviously Qin Xiaomin!
Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin seemed to be so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice Li Xu approaching them.
Although Li Xu was angry, he still had the minimum courtesy.
When she got up to her, she forced a smile and then reached out to pat Qin Xiaomin on the shoulder.
"Xiao Min, is it really you? I thought I was seeing things!" Li Xu said with a smile.
Qin Xiaomin turned her head, and the moment she saw Li Xu, her face suddenly turned slightly red and her expression became a little embarrassed.
"Sister Li, what a coincidence!"
Li Yong was startled, took a breath, covered his chest and stared at Li Xu blankly.
"I have a younger brother who has been serving in the army for eight years. He will be discharged in a few days. I wanted to come over and buy something for him!" While Li Xu was speaking, he kept looking at Qin Xiaomin and didn't even look at Li Yong.
Li Yong saw that Li Xu was only talking to Qin Xiaomin and ignored him, and the expression on his face changed from dull to stiff.
"We too..." Qin Xiaomin hesitated.
"Sister, I also plan to buy two pieces of clothing for my brother. Xiao Min has a good eye, so I'll ask her to spare some time to come and help me choose!" Li Yong finally found an opportunity to get a word in, so he quickly explained.
After Li Yong finished speaking, Li Xu also looked over.
"Okay, go ahead and go shopping. Bring Xiao Min to my house for dinner tonight. You should thank her for sacrificing her weekend time to go shopping with you." The smile on Li Xu's face faded a lot when she was talking to Li Yong.
Zhang Kun echoed, "I'll be the chef tonight."
Qin Xiaomin looked a little embarrassed. Although she had been to Li's house many times before, it was always with Qin Junshan.
She felt a little embarrassed to go alone.
"Sister Li, I have an appointment with my parents tonight and I have to go home for dinner. I'm so sorry, I'll treat you to dinner next time when I have time." Qin Xiaomin politely declined.
Hearing Qin Xiaomin's words, Li Xu's expression was a little regretful: "That's really unfortunate. Since you have something to do, let's do it next time!"
After that, he looked at Li Yong again: "Are you okay? If you are, come to my house for dinner. I'll tell you about your brother."
Under Li Xu's gaze, Li Yong dared not say that he had something to do, so he could only nod: "It's okay, I'll be there after I finish shopping!"
"Okay, go ahead and go shopping!" Li Xu let Li Yong go after hearing that.
After a few pleasantries, Li Xu and Zhang Kun left with their three children.
After walking a few steps, Ji Yuanyuan turned around to look.
Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin were still there. Li Yong was looking in the direction they left with an annoyed expression, while Qin Xiaomin looked a little at a loss.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly waved at Li Yong, signaling him to go and explain to Qin Xiaomin.
Although my mother acted normal just now, Qin Xiaomin is a smart girl and she must have noticed something wrong.
Li Yong came back to his senses after being reminded by Ji Yuanyuan.
He turned his head and was talking to Qin Xiaomin about something. After a moment, Qin Xiaomin's expression became happy.
Ji Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief!
Although his second uncle is not outstanding in other aspects, he is very sweet-spoken.
There is definitely no problem in making a little girl happy.
"You don't look at the road when you walk, and you don't even know you bumped into a pillar!" At this moment, Li Xu muttered.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly retracted her gaze, raised her head and looked at Li Xu flatteringly, "Mom, I've decided what I want as a birthday gift!"
"What do you want?"
"I want a lipstick!" Ji Yuanyuan raised her index finger.
Li Xu frowned: "Why do you want lipstick at such a young age?"
"I'm going to buy the lipstick for my mom. My birthday wish is for her to dress up beautifully every day!"
Listening to Ji Yuanyuan's words, Li Xu couldn't help laughing: "You are so smart!"
Ji Ziang blinked in confusion: "Is this what they call borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zixuan reached out and covered his mouth: "If you don't know how to talk, you can say less!"
Li Xu looked over and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Finally, Li Xu bought a set of clothes for Ji Yuanyuan, and Zhang Kun bought a lipstick for Li Xu. After returning home to have a simple meal and leaving the children at home for a nap, Li Xu and Zhang Kun went to a bicycle store together and bought a bicycle for Li Lei.
The two of them ran to several places and visited several specialty stores before they finally bought it.
When I bought the bicycle and returned home, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The new bicycle was placed downstairs, and Li Xu was afraid that it would be stolen, so she and Zhang Kun carried the bicycle back home.
Li Xu went up to the third floor in one breath, panting a little. Just as he was about to take out the key to open the door, it opened from the inside.
Li Yong's face full of smirk appeared in front of Li Xu.
Li Xu's face suddenly turned cold, and he was about to touch the bicycle in silence.
Li Yong quickly said in a flattering manner: "Sister, Master, you have worked hard, please go into the house and have a rest, I will do it..."
As he spoke, he reached out and held the bicycle.
Li Xu raised his head, let go and went into the house.
Zhang Kun also let go and whispered to Li Yong: "I'll give you a chance to perform!"
Li Yong smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, thank you, Master. Oh no, it's my brother-in-law..."
Hearing the name brother-in-law, Zhang Kun gave him a satisfied expression and followed him into the house.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were doing their homework obediently in the bedroom. Ji Yuanyuan should have been chatting with Li Yong just now, and now she was sitting on the sofa, looking outside with curiosity.
Li Xu also sat down on the sofa and asked in a low voice: "When did your second uncle come back?"
