Chapter 84: Chosen
Li Xu was about to say something, but then she thought, children are always enthusiastic for a short time. It seems fun now, but they will know it is not easy to do it in a while.
She shook her head helplessly and continued to harvest the wheat.
Although the three children had never done much farm work, they had a strong learning ability and soon learned the skills well.
Ji Yuanyuan had small arms and legs, and she felt tired after working for a while, and was out of breath.
She simply sat down on the wheat pile. The wheat ears pricked her butt, so she quickly moved to the open space next to her.
Looking at the ears of wheat in front of her, Ji Yuanyuan reached out and picked a few grains, rubbed them in her palm, and the grains came out.
Each of the khaki grains of wheat had its mouth open, as if smiling at Ji Yuanyuan.
She picked up one and put it in her mouth...
It is soft and sweet, with the unique wheat aroma of wheat grains.
"How sweet!" Ji Yuanyuan couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Ji Ziang couldn't help but follow suit. However, after chewing a few times, his face was full of surprise.
"Where's the sweetness?"
Ji Zixuan reached out and patted him lightly on the head: "Hurry up and work!"
Ji Ziang came back to his senses. Although he was a little tired, he really wanted to sit on the ground and rest for a while like Yuanyuan.
But he still wanted to go home early to see Uncle Zhang.
He gritted his teeth, ran behind Li Miao, and put all the wheat she had just harvested on the pile.
Ji Yuanyuan only rested for a short while and then got up to work.
With the help of the three little kids, the progress was obviously faster.
At noon, Li Xu brought the children back home, made some simple meals and brought them to the fields. The family had a simple meal under the shade of the trees at the edge of the field and then continued to work.
It didn't stop until after five o'clock.
Li Xu still has to go back to the city, and is thinking about going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables tomorrow.
After all, it was a business worth seventy or eighty yuan a day, and Li Xu was reluctant to give it up.
"Go back by yourself and don't bother taking the child with him. Don't come back tomorrow. There aren't many left. Tomorrow will be enough for the three of us." Li Zhiming said while smoking his pipe.
The four of them had mowed about three acres of land today. In the summer, it gets dark late, and if the three of them work overtime, there will probably be only two acres left, so tomorrow will be easy.
"Yes, sister, you go back first. After the wheat is harvested tomorrow, I can take the children back the day after tomorrow." Li Miao felt sorry for Li Xu.
It was already a tiring day today, and Li Xu hadn't rested since 7 o'clock. The way back to the city was not short, and with three children...
Hearing this, Ji Ziang was a little unhappy. He was still waiting to see Uncle Zhang tomorrow morning and tell him the gift he wanted.
Looking at Ji Ziang's expression, Li Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll just take them away. You guys have been tired all day, so how can you have the time to take care of the three of them?"
Liu Guihua was also a mother, and she knew that Li Xu was reluctant to leave her child, so she told him, "There are only two or three acres of land left, and the three of us will be done tomorrow. You don't have to come, just do your own thing. Wait until your father and I have finished turning the land, and then you can come back."
Li Xu picked up Ji Yuanyuan and put her in the bucket of the tricycle. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come back with Yongzi on the weekend to discuss the greenhouse."
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang also got in the car, and the four of them started to return to the city.
After being busy all day, Ji Yuanyuan was really tired.
Although she is nourished by the spiritual spring water and her physical fitness is much stronger than her peers, she is only six years old after all.
After getting in the car, Ji Yuanyuan soon felt drowsy during the bumpy ride.
His head was like a chick pecking at rice, and he could hardly open his eyes.
Ji Zixuan stretched out his legs and carefully reached out his hand to press Ji Yuanyuan's head on his legs.
As soon as her head touched the solid surface, Ji Yuanyuan fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by Ji Zixuan.
"Yuanyuan, we're home." Ji Zixuan's head hovered above Ji Yuanyuan's face and said in a low voice.
Ji Yuanyuan looked around and realized that she had arrived downstairs in the community.
Li Xu reached out and carried her down, and said weakly, "Everyone, get in. I'll lock the car and come."
Ji Zixuan held Ji Yuanyuan's hand, and Ji Ziang followed closely behind.
The three people went upstairs and found someone standing at the door.
"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" Ji Ziang walked forward with some surprise and asked.
Zhang Kun was holding some fruits in his hand. Hearing this, he asked, "Where's your mother?"
Ji Ziang pointed to the back and said, "My mom is locking the car in the back."
"Have you eaten?" Zhang Kun asked again.
Ji Ziang touched his belly and said pitifully, "Not yet."
It's almost seven o'clock now!
Li Xu had also come up. Zhang Kun and Li Xu looked at each other and then said, "Uncle Zhang will show you a little bit of his skills today."
Ji Ziang cheered: "That's great, Uncle Zhang's cooking is the best."
Li Xu forced a smile, took the key and opened the door.
After entering the room, Li Xu was about to go to the kitchen to help. Zhang Kun quickly said, "You don't need to help. You've been busy all day. Go take a shower and lie down for a while. I'll be done in about half an hour."
Li Xu was really tired, so she didn't refuse. She took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Bathing is quick in the summer, and the battle was over in five minutes. After she cleaned up, she called Ji Yuanyuan to the bathroom and scrubbed Ji Yuanyuan's whole body.
Li Xu naturally didn't need to worry about her two sons. She took Ji Yuanyuan to her room and planned to lie down for a while.
Not long after lying down, Li Xu fell asleep.
Ji Yuanyuan had slept all the way and was not so sleepy now. Seeing Li Xu fell asleep, she got up quietly.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang had also finished washing, their hair was still wet. After coming out of the bathroom, one ran straight to the bedroom, while the other sat obediently on the sofa, wiping his hair with a towel.
Ji Ziang soon came out of the bedroom again, holding a small card in his hand, "Uncle Zhang, I have already chosen the gift I want, it's this."
Zhang Kun was cooking when he heard this. He took a look and saw that the pattern on Ji Ziang’s card was a strange human-shaped doll.
He took the card from Ji Ziang's hand and put it in his trouser pocket: "Okay, I'll go to the department store tomorrow to see if they have this toy."
Ji Ziang chuckled twice: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
"Okay, hurry up and get it ready at the dining table. We'll be able to eat in two minutes."
Ji Ziang quickly sat down obediently.
The weather was hot, so Zhang Kun made two cold dishes and one hot dish. The staple food was cold noodles, which looked appetizing.
Coming out of the kitchen, Zhang Kun untied his apron and asked, "Where's your mother?"
Ji Yuanyuan pointed to the room and said, "Mom is asleep."
