After a pause, Li Xu called out to Li Miao, “Miaomiao, you come too.”
It was July now, and the weather was already very hot. The cover on the shed had already been dismantled. Otherwise, the temperature would be so high, and the vegetables would probably be burned.
The few of them squatted beside the vegetable plot and looked at the tomatoes and cucumbers in the vegetable plot in surprise.
“I haven’t been back for two weeks, and the vegetables have grown so well?” Li Miao said in surprise. She reached out to touch the tomatoes on the branches.
Zhang Kun nodded, “Not bad, they are big and red. If all of them are of this quality, there should be no need to worry about selling them.”
Li Xu smiled and reached out to pick a tomato. She split it into two halves with bare hands. She handed one half to Zhang Kun and the other half to Li Miao, “Have a taste, how is it?”
Li Miao took the first bite, and her eyes instantly lit up, “It’s sour, sweet, and tastes pretty good.”
Zhang Kun followed suit and took a bite.
He nodded in satisfaction, “This type of tomato is considered top-grade.”
Li Xu looked at Li Miao, “As long as we build the greenhouse, our parents will definitely be able to take care of the greenhouse well. Vegetables are scarce in winter, and the quality of our vegetables is also good. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to sell them for a good price.”
Li Miao looked at the tomato in her hand with thoughtful expression.
Zhang Kun nodded, “In this day and age, as long as you have skills, are hardworking and capable, you can always lead a good life.”
Li Miao pursed her lips, there seemed to be tears gleaming in her eyes.
Ji Yuanyuan was standing right in front of Li Miao, and could see them clearly.
Li Xu’s method was right. She wanted to let Li Miao know that there was a way out for the family, and that it would get better and better in the future.
In this way, Li Miao would be able to release the pressure in her heart and perform well during the exam.
Zhang Kun seemed to have noticed something as well. He called out to Ji Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, take Uncle Zhang to the small shop. Let’s go buy a few bottles of soft drinks, okay?”
Ji Yuanyuan had yet to speak when Ji Zi’ang, who was beside him, raised his hand and said, “Uncle Zhang, I want to go too.”
Zhang Kun smiled, “Let’s go then.”
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang went forward and each grabbed Zhang Kun’s hand.
“Zixuan, you should come with us too.” Zhang Kun called Ji Zixuan at the end.
Ji Zixuan did not say anything, but he had already stood up and walked towards Zhang Kun.
Seeing the three children and Zhang Kun’s situation, Li Miao’s expression was a little complacent.
After Zhang Kun led the three children out, Li Miao then said, “I heard from Second Brother on the way. Big Brother Zhang is a very good person. Big Sister, your good days have come.”
This time, Li Xu didn’t hesitate at all. She directly nodded and said, “Yes, he’s a very good person. He said that he’s willing to treat the children as his own. Meeting him is a blessing that I’ve collected for three lifetimes.”
After pausing for a moment, Li Xu looked at Li Miao and said in a low voice, “Miaomiao, your Eldest Brother will be back in two months. Our family’s days will get better and better. Don’t have any burdens, understand?”
Hearing that, Li Miao nodded hard and said, “Don’t worry, Sister. I’ll definitely do well in the exam. I won’t let you guys down.”
“You still don’t understand what I mean!” Li Xu shook her head, “No matter how you do in the exams, you’re still my good Little Sister. The reason why the family wants you to study is not because they expect you to enter university and change the fate of the family, but because they want you to change your own fate.”
At this point, she smiled, “Look at me. After graduating from high school, I couldn’t find any good jobs outside. Now, I can only sell vegetables and do some physical work to earn money. But look at the college students. They sit in the office and easily earn money. I hope that you will have an easier life than me in the future, do you understand?”
This time, Li Miao really understood Li Xu’s words and nodded hard, “I understand.”
Soon, Zhang Kun and the children came back.
He also brought back a few bottles of soft drinks.
At the dinner table, Li Zhiming was happy. He told Li Yong to open a bottle of wine and drank two glasses with Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun could also see that Li Xu’s parents were very satisfied with him. He was happy and drank two glasses with them.
The adults naturally drank and ate slowly. The children didn’t drink and soon finished eating. After they finished eating, Li Miao took them out to play.
After returning to the countryside, Ji Zi’ang began to let himself go.
He saw that there seemed to be a bird’s nest on the locust tree at the entrance and insisted on taking it down.
Li Miao had no choice but to catch it from below, “Be careful, don’t fall.”
Ji Zi’ang patted his chest and promised, “Who am I? How could I fall?”
He climbed in two moves and had already climbed to the vicinity of the bird’s nest.
Li Miao, who was watching from below, was terrified and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
Ji Zi’ang straightened his back and arrived near the bird’s nest.
He stuck his head out to take a look, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face, “Aiya, there’s nothing, eh?”
Suddenly, he raised his head and exclaimed in surprise.
“That person, why does he look so much like him?”Ji Zi’ang craned his neck.
Li Miao asked perfunctorily, “Who? Since there is nothing, you should come down first. You’ll be able to see more clearly when you come down.”
After Li Miao said this, Ji Zi’ang’s face darkened and he quickly went down.
It was not until Ji Zi’ang landed that Li Miao’s heart finally settled down.
She was about to say something to Ji Zi’ang when she saw Ji Zi’ang run into the courtyard.
Li Miao sighed helplessly, “Who exactly does Ji Zi’ang ran to?”
She reached out and patted Ji Yuanyuan’s clothes, “Alright, let’s go home...”
However, she stopped mid-sentence.
Not far away, a small car was slowly driving over.
...
Li Miao would probably never forget the person sitting in the driver’s seat for the rest of her life.
It was this person who had made her sister suffer for so many years.
“He still dares to come...” Li Miao muttered, his voice filled with gnashing teeth.
Ji Yuanyuan was also very surprised to see Ji Jianguo.
It looked like Ji Jianguo had struck it rich. He was wearing a suit and driving a car. His eyes were smug, and it seemed like he was here to show off.
Speaking of which, the financial crisis had already begun in July. It had started in Southeast Asia and swept across the whole of Asia.
Ji Jianguo was probably so pleased with himself that the news had not reached him yet.
In another ten days to half a month, Ji Jianguo probably would not even have time to cry.
Ji Zi’ang hurriedly ran back into the house. He pulled Li Xu, who was eating at the dining table, and said, “Mom, he’s back. He’s at our door right now!”
Li Xu frowned and asked, “Who’s here?”
After a pause, she asked in surprise, “Could it be your Uncle? Isn’t there still two months?”
...
Ji Ziang saw that Li Xu was thinking wrongly and quickly shook his head, “No, it’s that Ji Guy.”
Ji Guy? There were three Ji Guys here! However, Li Xu quickly realized who the Ji Guy Ji Zi’ang was talking about was.
“Ji Jianguo? What is he doing here?” Li Xu Murmured, subconsciously looking at Zhang Kun.
