104 Chapter 103, Unacceptable Vanity
Ji Zi’ang said righteously, “Second Uncle, this tricycle was bought with Mom’s hard-earned money. If we lose it, Mom will be very sad.”
Ji Yuanyuan also looked at Li Yong and advised, “Second Uncle, let’s lock it. Rich people are greedy! Although our tricycle is broken, it is made of iron. There is a lot of money in selling waste products!”
Li Yong saw that there was no one around and that his two nephews were so insistent, so he went back to lock the tricycle up.
The four of them walked along the path. Seeing that Li Yong did not speak, Ji Zi’ang knew that he had not realized his mistake.
He took two steps forward and walked side by side with Li Yong, his small mouth babbling non-stop.
“Second Uncle, what you did just now is called vanity! This is wrong!”
Behind them, Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan walked side by side behind the two of them.
Hearing Ji Zi’ang’s words, Ji Yuanyuan nodded her head vigorously to express his agreement, “Yes, vanity”
Seeing that Ji Zixuan did not say anything, she reached out and grabbed his hand. She even gave him a pinch as a hint.
Ji Zixuan came to his senses and followed Ji Yuanyuan’s words, “Yes, it’s wrong!”
Ji Zi’ang nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, “Although we can only afford a small tricycle now, we will definitely be able to buy a small car in the future. It’s possible to become rich through hard work!”
“It’s possible to become rich through hard work!”
“It’s possible!”
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan chimed in from behind.
Li Yong held his head and felt a headache. However, Ji Zi’ang stuck out his chest proudly.
“Second Uncle…”
“Okay, okay, I know I’m wrong. I won’t do it again. Little ancestor, don’t say it again!” Seeing that Ji Zi’ang was about to continue, Li Yong quickly admitted his mistake to ensure his safety.
Ji Zi’ang hesitated for a moment. Although his second uncle had admitted his mistake, his attitude did not seem very sincere!
However, before he could say anything, Li Yong said in surprise, “We’re here, we’re here!”
Ji Zi’ang looked up and saw that it was indeed the 25th building!
Li Yong heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went forward to ring the doorbell.
Soon, someone came to open the door.
It was a woman in her forties or fifties who looked very elegant. She looked around the group and smiled as she looked down at Ji Yuanyuan, “You’re Yuanyuan, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and asked politely, “Hello, Auntie. Does Grandpa Qin live here?”
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, “You can’t call me Auntie. In terms of seniority, you have to call me Grandma!”
Ji Yuanyuan readily changed the way she addressed her, “Hello, Grandma!”
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang behind him also greeted her in unison.
Li Yong realized that the person in front of him was probably Qin Xiaomin’s mother.
For a moment, he felt a little awkward and even spoke with some trepidation, “Hello, Auntie. We’re here to look for Uncle Qin.”
The woman smiled at Li Yong, “Big Brother has been waiting for you guys. Hurry up and come in. Is it hot outside today?”
Li Yong raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead, “It’s alright, it’s not very hot.”
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but shiver when she stepped through the door.
The room was too cool and the temperature difference was too great. That was why it was like this.
Qin Junshan was lying on the sofa as if he was asleep. The television was broadcasting the news.
The woman stepped forward and gently patted Qin Junshan’s shoulder. She said in a low voice, “Big Brother, Yuanyuan and the others are here!”
Qin Junshan’s entire body trembled and he opened his eyes in a daze.
His eyes were extremely cloudy.
When the woman saw that he was awake, she looked at Ji Yuanyuan and the others, “Mucheng and Xiaomin are reading upstairs. Take a seat first, I’ll call them down.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded politely, “Thank you, Grandma.”
After the woman went upstairs, Ji Zi’ang began to look around.
He muttered to Ji Yuanyuan curiously, “Why is it so cool in this room? It’s like putting ice cubes in it.”
Poor kid, he had never seen an air-conditioner in his life.
Li Yong was afraid that his nephews would ask awkward questions again, he quickly pointed to a corner and said, “See that? That thing is called an air conditioner. The air outlet above it can blow cold wind, which is why the room is so cool!”
Ji Ziang was a little puzzled, “Then why can it blow cold wind? How can it be so magical?”
This question stumped Li Yong.
He was not an air conditioner. How would he know why the air conditioner blew cold wind?
Seeing Ji Zi’ang’s reaction, Qin Junshan only thought that the little guy was so cute.
He waved at Ji Zi’ang, “Go and touch it. Then Grandpa will tell you why it’s blowing cold air!”
Ji Zi’ang had wanted to touch it for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately ran over and reached out to touch the air-conditioner’s vent.
“Wow!”
Sure enough, it was a cold wind that made one’s whole body feel cold.
After touching it, he quickly ran to Qin Junshan’s side and asked expectantly, “Grandpa Qin, why is it?”
Beside him, Li Yong put down the thermos bucket and opened the lid.
“Haha, Grandpa Qin can’t explain the principle clearly either. You’ll understand it after you study hard. Moreover, this air conditioner can not only blow cold wind in summer, but it can also blow hot wind in winter!”
Qin Junshan had already smelled the fragrance of the soup, and his appetite immediately increased. He was even a little absent-minded when talking to Ji Zi’ang.
“Wow, is it that good? Then, Grandpa Qin, how much does an air conditioner cost?” Ji Zi’ang asked again.
“About two thousand Yuan!” Qin Junshan swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Yong, “Did you stew this soup?”
Li Yong nodded, “Yuanyuan dragged me to the market early in the morning and bought fresh bones. Have a taste and see if it suits your taste.”
Qin Junshan smiled and nodded, “It suits my taste, it definitely suits my taste. Just the smell alone makes my mouth water!”
Ji Zi’ang was counting with his fingers how much 2,000 yuan was.
His uncle’s monthly salary was only 300 yuan, which meant that his uncle had to work for more than half a year before he could buy an air conditioner?
He was a little speechless. Auntie Qin’s family is really rich!
A moment later, he raised his head and thought with high morale. In the future, I will earn a lot of money, live in the villa, and buy an air conditioner.
When the time comes, I will bring my Big Brother, Sister, Mother, Second Uncle, Uncle Zhang, grandparents, and Aunty to the villa.
As for his eldest uncle…
Forget it. He was not close to him, so he should not take him!
Ji Zi’ang was thinking about this when Qin Xiaomin and Qin Mucheng came down from upstairs.
Qin Xiaomin’s mother, Niu Ailan, followed closely behind.
Qin Junshan could not wait to order, “Xiaomin, bring a few bowls over, Xiao Yong has made soup. Everyone, come and have some!”
Li Yong heard this and looked up. He was immediately stunned.
At this moment, Qin Xiaomin’s hair was disorganized. She must have just washed her hair not long ago. She was wearing a long dress with red spots, which made her face look like white jade.
She smiled faintly and casually threw her hair behind her. Her head also moved slightly.
