Chapter 69: Poor Grades
After saying that, Ji Yuanyuan moved her short legs and went to find Li Yong.
"Uncle, let's go back. My mother should go home soon. She's getting anxious when she can't see me."
Li Yong picked up Ji Yuanyuan and placed her on the crossbar of the bicycle. He nodded to Zhang Kun before leaving.
Zhang Kun stood there and didn't even see Li Yong greet him.
Yuanyuan's childish words just now made him suddenly understand something.
Li Xu's rejection of his advances might not be because she had no feelings for him.
Li Xu already has three children and probably won’t have any more in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kun suddenly felt a little confused.
If the price of being with Lee Soo is that you will never have children of your own, is it worth it?
…
It was past nine when Li Yong and Ji Yuanyuan got home. They were delayed on the way, so Li Yong took Ji Yuanyuan to buy some snacks, pretending that they were just going out to buy snacks.
Li Xu didn't doubt it at all, she just blamed Li Yong, "Spending money recklessly again, how much money can you save if you're so extravagant? Besides, she's changing her teeth now, so she can't eat too many snacks."
She reached out to Ji Yuanyuan and coaxed her, "Yuanyuan, be good and give the snacks to mommy. Mommy will keep them for you, okay?"
Ji Yuanyuan put the snacks in her hand into Li Xu's hand and forced a flattering smile.
When she smiled, her teeth were exposed. Li Xu's expression became more serious: "Don't let your uncle buy you snacks in the future, understand?"
Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and grabbed Li Xu's sleeve: "Mom, I know, don't be angry!"
Under her smiling attack, Li Xu couldn't stand it anymore and laughed: "If you listen to me, Mom won't be angry."
Li Xu had no idea that Ji Yuanyuan and Li Yong had met Zhang Kun, and for the following week, neither Li Yong nor Ji Yuanyuan saw Zhang Kun again.
It was another weekend, Li Yong and Li Xu took their three children home. Li Miao also came back this time, because the results of the first mock exam were out.
On the way, Li Yong carried Ji Yuanyuan on his bicycle, and Li Xu rode a tricycle with Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang.
"Second uncle, has Uncle Zhang looked for you recently?" Ji Yuanyuan asked quietly while sitting on the crossbar of Li Yong's bicycle.
Li Yong looked a little disappointed: "No!"
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan also sighed: "Is Uncle Zhang backing out?"
Li Yong was also unsure and immediately murmured, "No way!"
Ji Yuanyuan looked a little gloomy: "What a pity!"
…
The group returned home quickly. Only Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were at home. Li Miao would not be back until early the next morning.
The first thing Li Xu did when he returned home was to go to see the greenhouse in the yard.
Li Xu lifted the film at the edge and walked into the greenhouse.
It was already dark, so Li Xu took a flashlight.
The temperature in the greenhouse is just right, the soil is loose, and the seeds have already sprouted.
It can be seen that the parents take good care of the child and put their heart into it.
Soon after, Li Yong also came in.
Squatting beside Li Xu, Li Yong's expression was somewhat uncertain.
"Sister, can greenhouses really make money?"
He didn't know much about this. He also asked his colleagues, but they all said they didn't know much about it.
This thing is rare in the surrounding area. What if they invest thousands of dollars and lose everything? Their family is poor and can't afford such a hassle.
"Of course, as long as we do it well, we will definitely make money." Li Xu studied it carefully and said very firmly.
She couldn't let her parents do something that didn't make money.
"I've been in the vegetable market for such a long time, and I have some experience. People nowadays are different from the past. They have some money in their hands. As long as your vegetables are good, they don't really care about the price."
The vegetables she sells are actually a bit higher than the market price, but her vegetables are of good quality and taste good, so she has many repeat customers!
Li Yong has always trusted Li Xu, so he nodded when he heard this and whispered, "Then let's see if Dad and Mom can grow crops. If they can, we can build greenhouses on all our land. I've saved about a thousand yuan."
The brother and sister talked in the greenhouse for a while before returning to the house.
Li Miao didn't get home until around ten o'clock the next morning. When he got home, he didn't look very good.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were in the yard, accompanying Li Zhiming in weeding in the greenhouse.
Ji Yuanyuan was washing clothes with Liu Guihua in the yard. When she saw Li Miao coming back, she called out sweetly, "Auntie..."
Li Miao responded reluctantly, then went back to the west room and closed the door.
Li Yong followed her, carrying a large bag, which was Li Miao's gift. The bus routes in the village are fixed, and the time to each village is almost fixed.
So Li Yong estimated that Li Miao would be here soon, so he went to the bus stop in advance to wait and pick her up.
Li Xu was picking vegetables in the kitchen. When she heard the words, she came out but didn't see Li Miao. She asked curiously, "Where's Miaomiao?"
Liu Guihua shook her head. "He's in the room. He doesn't look well. Go and have a look. Did he do poorly on the test?"
Li Xu's face looked a little serious. She returned to the kitchen, put down the dishes in her hands, and went to the west room.
Ji Yuanyuan's eyes turned and she followed him.
But she just hid behind Li Xu and didn't say anything.
When I entered the room, Li Miao was lying on the quilt.
"What's wrong? Are you crying?" Li Xu walked forward, patted Li Miao's shoulder gently, and asked softly.
Li Miao shook her head: "Sister, my test scores were not good this time. What if I can't get into university?"
Her face was buried in the quilt and her voice was a little unclear.
"How can you fail the exam? You're so smart! Besides, there are still nearly four months before the college entrance examination. If you study hard in these four months, you will definitely pass the exam." Li Xu comforted.
"My family is in such a difficult situation, but my parents still support me to go to school. If I fail the exam..." Li Miao's voice was a little choked up, "But I have tried my best, and my grades are still not as good as theirs."
This feeling of powerlessness was about to overwhelm Li Miao.
She knew that life at home was not easy, so she has always been one of the hardest-working people in the class.
But no matter how hard she tried, her results were still not as good as those others.
"It's okay, Miaomiao. If you can't pass the exam, we can just repeat the year. Mom and Dad are considering growing a greenhouse now. Once the greenhouse is built, we'll have money."
Li Xu reached out and gently stroked Li Miao's shoulders to comfort her.
Li Miao raised his face from the quilt in surprise: "Greenhouse?"
When I looked up, I found Ji Yuanyuan was there too.
Li Miao felt embarrassed to cry in front of his niece, and quickly raised his hand to wipe his eyes.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly responded with a sweet smile. Li Miao pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to Ji Yuanyuan.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan hurried forward. Li Xu picked her up and placed her in front of him.
