“Now that the fields are equipped with sprinkling equipment, we just need to turn on the switch to water the fields. We don’t have to be as tired as before.” As Li Yong spoke, he ordered someone to turn on the switch.
In the greenhouse, thin streams of water were sprayed out from the spray heads.
Li Xu sighed, “This is much more convenient. It saves a lot of manpower and resources.”
“Xiaomin’s job is quite easy now. When she’s free, she goes online to study the greenhouse. She found someone to install this sprinkling irrigation. There were also many methods of growing vegetables that she had figured out.” Li Yong said proudly.
Looking at Li Yong’s expression, Ji Zi’ang joked, ’’Cultured people are indeed different. My Second Aunt keeps up with the times. Second Uncle, you have to learn too. Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep up with Second Aunt’s pace.” Li Yong wasn’t annoyed. He just said, “I’m learning. Now that I have nothing to do, I’ll look for news about greenhouses online. We can improve together. This is called improving together.”
When Ji Zi’ang heard this, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan and whispered, “It seems Second Uncle is also feeling regretful.”
Ji Yuanyuan pinched him and whispered, “Don’t interrupt the matters of the elders.”
Ji Zi’ang made a face, clearly unconvinced.
Li Yong asked someone to turn off the sprinkling and brought Li Xu and the others into the shed.
He planted fruits and vegetables that were out of season.
There were red strawberries all over the ground. Each of them was big and round, and it made people envious.
All kinds of green leafy vegetables were also as big as fat leaves. They were so tender that water could be squeezed out.
After visiting the greenhouse, it was time for dinner.
On his way back, Li Yong packed a table of vegetables from the farmhouse and brought them home.
Now that everyone had money in their hands, they were too lazy to prepare their own vegetables.
Li Yong would vegetable dishes from here to eat at home during the holidays.
On the way back, Li Xu talked about what happened in the shop.
“I don’t know if it’s because your brother-in-law was undergoing surgery a while ago, and I didn’t take care of the shop. Recently, the turnover of the shop in B City has dropped quite a bit. When I return, I have to meet with those shop assistants. This can’t go on.”
“The sales of the few stores have dropped?” Li Yong asked curiously. That’s right. The number of the chains has decreased.” Li Xu said worriedly. Li Yong thought for a moment and said, “If it’s all gone down, it might not be the salesperson’s problem. You have to look for other problems.”
Li Xu sighed and rubbed her temples. She said helplessly, “Forget it. Let’s wait until after the new year.”
After they went back, the family had a reunion dinner.
Apart from Li Miao’s family of three, who had something on and did not come back, the rest of the members were all present.
Li Xiang and Li Nian were both ten-year-old children. They were pretty obedient at the dining table.
The two of them were wearing the same clothes and looked similar. They looked like twins.
“What a beautiful dress!” Li Xu teased Li Xiang. “Who bought it for you?” Li Xiang didn’t even think about it and said directly, “Auntie bought it for me. It’s the same as Li Nian’s.”
After a pause, she stretched out her leg for Li Xu to see, “Auntie also bought the pants and shoes for us.”
“They’re about the same height, and they like the same things,” Qin Xiaomin said with a smile. “As long as Li Nian likes it, Li Xiang will definitely like it too, so I always buy two sets.”
Li Xiang smiled at Qin Xiaomin obediently.
Beside him, Meng Xiaoning was feeding Li Jie with her head lowered. She didn’t seem to notice Li Xiang’s movements.
Li Jie was almost five years old. Logically speaking, he should be able to eat by himself.
However, Meng Xiaoning doted on her youngest son so much that he could not eat alone even though he was already so old.
Although Li Xu had some opinions in her heart, as her sister-in-law, it was not appropriate for her to say everything to her.
If things were not handled well, they might become enemies.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan felt sorry for her cousin.
She reached out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and placed it in Li Xiang’s bowl, “Xiangxiang, eat quickly. After you’re done, I’ll bring you and your brother to the small shop to buy delicious food.”
Hearing this, Li Xiang’s eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded her head, “Okay, Sister, you eat too.”
Seeing this, Li Nian picked up her bowl and stretched it to the front, “Sister I want it too.”
Ji Yuanyuan laughed and picked up another piece of braised pork and placed it in Li Nian’s bowl, “Alright, alright. Now that everything’s ready hurry up and eat. After eating, we’ll go out.”
Li Jie waited for a while. Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan did not call him, he immediately said coquettishly, “Sister, I want to eat delicious food too.”
Before Ji Yuanyuan could speak, Meng Xiaoning spoke, “Then you should eat quickly. After you finish eating, I’ll bring you there.”
As she spoke, she took a spoon and stuffed a big mouthful of rice into Li Jie’s mouth.
Li Jie, who was still casually taking a bite earlier, immediately began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Meng Xiaoning smiled and looked at Ji Yuanyuan, “It’s still Yuanyuan who has a way. Aunt will give you some pocket money later. You can bring them to buy some snacks.”
Ji Yuanyuan declined, “No need, Aunt. I have money.”
“Let’s eat first,” Meng Xiaoning said.
She took the opportunity to stuff another big mouthful into Li Jie’s mouth.
Ji Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at Li Xiang.
The little girl was obediently eating by herself.
To be honest, Ji Yuanyuan really did not understand Meng Xiaoning.
She was also a woman. Why did she also favor boys over girls?
The last time Xiangxiang went to B City in a fit of pique and waited for a long time before coming back. She thought that Meng Xiaoning would treat her better after she came back, but who knew…
Fortunately, Qin Xiaomin was good to her and would think of her for everything.
After the meal, Ji Yuanyuan could not persuade Meng Xiaoning. She took a hundred yuan from her and brought the three children to the small shop at the village entrance.
Almost every household in the village followed the Li family to plant greenhouses. Now, the conditions of every household were also good.
Therefore, the small shop at the village entrance had many things and a wide range of products.
The moment he entered, Li Jie acted like a bandit who had just entered the village. He took a lot of snacks from the shelves.
Li Xiang and Li Nian were a little better. They each took two or three items and then stood at the payment area to wait for Li Jie.
After all, it was Meng Xiaoning who gave the money, so Ji Yuanyuan couldn’t stop Li Jie.
When Li Jie finished taking the money, she calculated that it was more than
150 yuan. The money that Meng Xiaoning gave was not enough at all.
It seemed Meng Xiaoning knew her son’s character, which was why she insisted on giving Ji Yuanyuan money.
Ji Yuanyuan did not care about the thirty to fifty yuan. After paying, she carried
a bag of snacks and brought the three children home.
On the way, Li Xiang took apart the bubble-blowing device she had brought and played with Li Nian.
She was a child, so naturally, everything she saw was novel.
When Li Jie saw this, he stepped forward to snatch it, “Give it to me, give it to me…”
Li Xiang had just opened it, so she definitely didn’t want to give it to him. She raised the hand that was blowing bubbles high up, not allowing Li Jie to touch it.
Li Xiang was taller than Li Jie by a head. If she raised it, Li Jie naturally couldn’t reach it..
