Chapter 38, Sprout of Love
Yang Jingyi was a little embarrassed, “My mom said that you can’t eat other people’s food for free.”
Ji Yuanyuan said casually, “Just take it, if you have any good food in your house in the future, just bring some for me.”
Yang Jingyi hesitated for a long while. She looked at the peaches and almost drooled.
After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll bring you some good food tonight.”
With that, she ran off in a flash.
Before she ran off, she did not forget to sneak a glance at Ji Zixuan. Her little cheeks were red.
Ji Yuanyuan felt that it was a little funny.
In the afternoon, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang went to school, while Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan to the nearby second-hand car market.
Li Yong did not have much to do in the afternoon, so he followed them here.
“If you want to put vegetables, why don’t you buy a
tricycle
? It’ll be more convenient with a container,” Li Yong suggested.
Li Xu was a little hesitant, “The main use of tricycle is only for transporting goods. It’s not convenient for you to go anywhere normally, but you can use a bicycle anytime.”
Li Yong said, “Second-hand bicycle aren’t expensive these days. If you can’t make up your mind, then buy one each. Consider it a gift from me.”
Li Xu rolled her eyes in annoyance, “Have you forgotten what I Said? It’s not like you don’t know what’s going on at home. The house our parents built for Xiao Lei is probably empty. If you don’t save some money yourself, how are you going to find a wife in the future?”
As they were talking, someone behind them suddenly said, “Sister Li?”
Li Xu turned back to take a look and said in surprise, “Xiaomin, why are you here?”
Qin Xiaomin said somewhat embarrassed, “There’s an empty space in front of our house. My mom can’t stay at home and wants to grow some vegetables herself. Well, I’m here to get some tools for her.”
Li Yong immediately said, “Isn’t your family quite rich? Why are you so thrifty?”
After saying that, Li Xu glared fiercely at him.
Li Yong smiled, somewhat embarrassed, and touched the back of his head.
Ji Yuanyuan was surprised to find that her second uncle’s face was a little red?
Qin Xiaomin was not angry. She just smiled and said, “What money, I’m just earning some dead wages. Besides, no matter how rich you are, you can’t spend it recklessly, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Xiaomin and then looked at Li Yong.
She suddenly hugged Li Xu’s thigh and said, “Mommy, I’m so tired. I want to eat candied hawthorns. Take me to buy candied hawthorns. Let Uncle buy the bike.”
Before Li Xu could agree, Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Yong and said, “Uncle, you go with Big Sister Qin, help her carry the things.”
As she said that, she even winked at Li Yong mischievously.
This made Li Yong’s old face turn red again. He secretly glanced at Qin Xiaomin.
Li Xu did not realize that Ji Yuanyuan did it on purpose. She only said, “Then, Xiao Yong, help me look for it first. I’ll take her to the nearby area to see if there are any candied hawthorns.”
Li Yong hurriedly nodded, “Alright, I got it, Sister.”
Li Xu was afraid that he would pay again, so she reminded him, “Don’t pay yet, wait for me to come back first.”
How could Li Yong not know what Li Xu was thinking? He immediately said, “Alright, I know, Sister.”
Li Xu held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and walked back.
Ji Yuanyuan secretly turned his head back to look. Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin were still standing at the same spot. She did not know what they were talking about. Li Yong was like a little wife.
She retracted her gaze and looked at Li Xu. It was obvious that Li Xu did not in that directions at all.
She did not realize that Li Yong had a slightly different feeling towards Qin Xiaomin.
She had noticed it the last time she was in Qin Xiaomin’s office.
In winter, there were many people selling candied hawthorns.
After walking for a short while, she met a grandpa who was standing by the roadside carrying candied haws.
Li Xu bought two skewers for Ji Yuanyuan in one go, and another for Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang.
When the two of them went back, they searched the market for quite a while before they found Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin bargaining in a shop.
Qin Xiaomin stood in front, she was bargaining with the boss, “Boss, your bike has lost its paint so badly. You’ve been riding it for God knows how many years. I don’t know how many times you’ve ridden it. It’s at most fifty yuan. If you can do it, we’ll take it. If you can’t, you can keep it.”
Li Yong stood by the side and looked at Qin Xiaomin.
Seeing this, the smile on Li Xu’s face suddenly stopped.
“Okay, okay, okay. 50 then, take it away.” The boss waved his hand helplessly. “50 is really not much money, but seeing that you guys want it so much, then take it.”
Hearing this, Li Yong immediately wanted to pay.
Li Xu quickly put away the expression on her face and took a step forward, “Let me do it.”
She stood in front of Li Yong, took out fifty yuan from her pocket and gave it to the boss.
After exiting the shop, Li Xu carried Ji Yuanyuan onto the tricycle. Qin Xiaomin also placed all the things she bought on the tricycle.
The few of them walked around once more before leaving.
Qin Xiaomin came by bike. Before she left, Li Yong saw that it was getting late, so he asked, “Is your house far from here? Why don’t I give you a ride?”
Qin Xiaomin quickly declined, “My house is not far from here. It’s very close. It’s only about ten minutes away.”
Only then did Li Yong give up.
After Qin Xiaomin left, Li Yong retracted his gaze. Only then did he realize that Li Xu was looking at him with a strange expression. “Sis…”
Li Xu said indifferently, “Marriage is all about being of equal status. If the gap is too big, and the levels are different, sooner or later, there will be problems.”
Li Yong was stunned for a moment before he realized what Li Xu meant.
He was silent for a long time, but Li Xu did not say anything.
“Sis, I understand this logic. Don’t worry.”
After saying that, he pushed his bicycle, “The weather is very cold. You and Yuanyuan should hurry home. I have to go back as well.”
It was almost dinner time, and the restaurant was probably getting busy again.
Li Xu nodded, and her expression eased up a lot, “Be careful on the road.”
After watching Li Yong leave, Li Xu finally rode the little tricycle and slowly returned home with Ji Yuanyuan.
Li Xu locked the tricycle downstairs and brought Ji Yuanyuan upstairs.
After returning home, Li Xu went to the kitchen to cook while Ji Yuanyuan lay on the bed in a daze.
Li Xu thought that she was a child and could not understand her and Li Yong’s words.
But she understood everything.
Li Xu was merely reminding Li Yong not to like Qin Xiaomin. The two of them were not compatible in terms of family background or themselves.
If Li Yong really fell in love, he would still be the one suffering in the future.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan let out a long sigh.
Poor second uncle. Before the love had even sprouted, it was strangled to death by Li Xu.
The next day, Ji Yuanyuan went to class as usual. Speaking of which, it was also a coincidence. The first class was teacher Liu’s English class.
Shen Lingxue did not come and caused ruckus. Ji Jianguo probably did not allow her to come.
The textbooks and pencil case on her desk were all gone.
Ji Yuanyuan was still a little disappointed. Shen Lingxue did not come. Won’t she not have any entertainment in her life?
- Tricycle with a wagon or cart at the back.
