Chapter 179 Something Abnormal
There were eight dishes and one soup. The table was already full before the soup was served.
The children returned home and only one soup was left in the pot.
Li Xu urged the children to wash their hands, while Zhang Kun served the last bowl of soup and placed it on the table.
Among them, the one who enjoyed eating the most was Ji Ziang.
The meal lasted more than an hour. Ji Ziang's belly was bulging. He put down his chopsticks and touched his belly with his greasy hands. "Tomorrow I will tell Qi Huanhuan that my father's cooking is especially delicious, definitely better than her mother's."
Li Xu looked at his little action, and her expression darkened: "Are your hands dirty? Are you wiping them on your clothes?"
Ji Ziang was startled and quickly jumped off the chair. He went to the bathroom, took some soap, and washed his hands carefully. Then he took off his coat and put it in the dirty clothes basket next to the washing machine.
After doing all this, he looked at Li Xu in a flattering manner.
Looking at his flattering expression, Li Xu couldn't get angry anymore no matter how angry she was.
"Okay, now that we've finished eating, let's go back to our room and do our homework. After finishing our homework, we can read a book. The midterm exam should be coming soon, right?" Li Xu looked at Ji Zixuan and asked.
Ji Zixuan nodded: "Our teacher said that we will have the test next week!"
"If the three of you make progress in the midterm and final exams, how about we buy you a TV before the New Year?" Li Xu looked around at the three people's faces.
Ji Ziang was the first to widen his eyes, "Really? Mom, are you really going to buy it? Qi Huanhuan said that TVs are very expensive!"
Li Xu nodded: "It depends on how you three perform. If you perform well, I will definitely buy it, and I will buy a good one. Then you can bring your classmates to watch TV, I won't care about you!"
Ji Ziang nodded quickly: "Okay, it's a deal."
As he was talking, he had already pulled Ji Zixuan: "Brother, go wash your hands quickly, let's do our homework."
Ji Zixuan was already full, so he washed his hands after hearing this and went to study with Ji Ziang.
Ji Yuanyuan was still eating slowly. Li Xu was never in a hurry with her.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished eating, she returned to her room. Li Xu and Zhang Kun were talking while cleaning up the food on the table.
"Tomorrow I will go to the city to get the trademark back, and you can go directly to the Trademark Office to register it. Next year we will save some money and open a branch." Zhang Kun said, "Don't worry about the dishes, you can supply them over there, and you only have to pay for the rent, which is easy to save!"
Li Xu nodded: "Well, then you should drive slowly tomorrow."
Zhang Kun stayed with Li Xu until after nine o'clock before he got up and prepared to go back.
However, his expression was somewhat reluctant to leave: "How about you come with me and stay for a while?"
He lowered his voice and asked in Li Xu's ear.
Li Xu naturally understood what he meant, and immediately pushed him shyly: "Go back quickly!"
Zhang Kun then went back home, looking back every few steps.
Zhang Kun left early the next morning.
He didn't come back until after eleven o'clock in the morning, with a blueprint in his hand.
Li Xu was having dinner with her three children. When she saw Zhang Kun coming in, she stood up quickly and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Zhang Kun shook his head, and Li Xu went to the kitchen to get him chopsticks: "Then come and eat!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Come over here and take a look at this trademark." Zhang Kun came to the coffee table and unfolded the drawing in his hand.
Li Xu and the three children all came over.
The three words "菜园子" are all green. The outer outline of the word "园" is a circular pattern with several kinds of vegetables in the pattern.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the trademark and thought: It's pretty standard, nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't seem to have anything special either.
Li Xu was very satisfied: "Not bad, looks clean and lively. How much did it cost?"
Zhang Kun reached out and took out the remaining money in his pocket: "I paid a deposit of ten yuan on the weekend, and today I paid two hundred and fifty yuan, so the total amount is two hundred and sixty."
Li Xu nodded: "It's OK, not too expensive!"
Looking at Li Xu's expression, Zhang Kun opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
After a moment, Li Xu rolled up the drawing and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the trademark issue this afternoon. Let's eat now."
Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun with some heartache. He must be starving after running for the whole morning.
There were several dishes on the dining table that were leftovers from last night, but the three children still ate them with gusto.
In the afternoon, Zhang Kun accompanied Li Xu to the Trademark Office and quickly got the trademark matter done.
The economy is in recession now, and the government is encouraging people to start businesses.
What's more, Li Xu is engaged in a business that is closely related to people's livelihood.
The trademark has been registered, but there is still a problem: the newly built doorhead needs to be replaced!
The doorhead I made before only had the three words "Vegetable Garden" written on it in neat square fonts.
Li Xu contacted the merchant who previously operated the storefront and explained the situation.
"Hey, this is easy. You don't need to dismantle the shelf. You just need to reprint the cloth on it. I'll get the blueprint tomorrow and I can replace it for you this afternoon." The other party was very straightforward. "As for the cost, just give me ten dollars."
After this matter was settled, Li Xu finally felt relieved.
It was almost time for school to end, so Zhang Kun went home to cook for the children. Li Xu called the driver who had helped pull eggplants from the greenhouse and made an appointment to go there again to pull cucumbers tomorrow.
The time she had agreed with her family was tomorrow.
After finishing the call, Li Xu simply tidied up the store and went home.
It was also a coincidence that on the way back I met the children coming back from school.
Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi walked hand in hand in the front, Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were in the middle, and Hu Chunli followed at the end.
"I'm back!" Li Xu greeted Hu Chunli with a smile.
However, Hu Chunli's eyes were a little evasive. "I heard from Yuanyuan that you and Brother Zhang got the marriage certificate? Congratulations!"
Li Xu said politely: "Thank you!"
But I was a little worried in my heart. It seemed that Hu Chunli was a little abnormal today.
For the first time, he wore a black mask on his face, and his hair was let down, covering most of his face.
In the past, when she spoke, she always stared into other people's eyes with a smile on her face.
But today, her eyes were evasive.
"Jingyi, let's go home!" Hu Chunli reached out to pull Yang Jingyi.
Yang Jingyi was reluctant to part with Ji Yuanyuan and struggled for a while: "I'm not hungry yet, I don't want to go home!"
When Yang Jingyi struggled, she pushed Hu Chunli back.
Hu Chunli staggered, her hair flew back, revealing her face.
She stood up quickly, and in a panic she pulled her hair from behind to cover her face.
