Unfortunately, Li Xiang has to go to school. He had to pick her up and drop her off every day, so he could not leave her.
This time, he took advantage of the seven-day holiday of Labor May. He had originally thought of leaving the two children with his parents and younger brother.
However, something unexpected happened to Niu Allan.
Li Lei had no choice but to send Li Xiang to Li Xu.
Meng Xiaoning had been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Li Lei didn’t want to disappoint her.
Ever since he had a child, this was the first time Li Lei had been away from his child for so long. It was inevitable that he was a little reluctant.
After talking to Li Xu, Li Lei looked at her and thought, “Daddy will be going out for a few days. You have to be obedient at First Aunt’s house. Daddy will call you.”
Li Xiang hugged Ji Yuanyuan’s thigh and nodded vigorously, “Dad, don’t worry. 1’11 be obedient.”
She had a smile on her face and did not look unhappy at all.
Seeing this, Li Xu urged him in a low voice, “Hurry up and leave. When she realizes what’s going on, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to.”
Children were all like this. They were all very excited when they went to someone else’s house.
However, when she got tired of playing, she started to miss home. She started to miss her father and mother.
Li Lei put down the bag in his hand, “These are all her things. I’ll leave now.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After Li Lei left, Li Xu quickly closed the door.
Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xiang were nowhere to be seen.
She looked around and realized that two people had tiptoed to open Ji Zi’ang’s door.
Seeing this, Li Xu quickly went forward.
This child was already so old, yet he did not know how to avoid arousing suspicion.
Ji Zi’ang was already 18 years old, so how could other people enter his room as they pleased?
However, when Li Xu went over, Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xiang were already standing in front of the cabinet at the end of Ji Zi’ang’s bed.
The two of them quietly pulled open Ji Zi’ang’s cabinet, which was filled with delicious food.
Ji Yuanyuan gave Li Xiang a look.
Li Xiang understood and tiptoed to take a few of her favorite snacks.
Ji Zi’ang was woken up by the noise and saw the two people at the end of the bed the moment he opened his eyes.
He was shocked and clutched the blanket tightly, “Why are you in my room? Hurry up and get out!”
“Come out quickly, don’t enter your Second Brother’s room casually.”
Ji Yuanyuan pulled Li Xiang out of Ji Zi’ang’s room.
“You stole my snacks?” Ji Zi’ang finally reacted. “You’re not allowed to eat it. 1 bought it…”
He was shouting in the room, but he was not dressed yet and could not come out for a while.
In the living room, Ji Yuanyuan urged Li Xiang, “Hurry up and open it. Second Cousin will come out and snatch it later.”
Li Xiang was a smart girl. She opened all the bags of snacks.
By the time Ji Zi’ang came out, it was already too late.
He clutched his chest, “Ji Yuanyuan, I’m angry!”
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh, “It was just a joke. Is there a need to be like this? At most, I’ll just compensate you at the supermarket later.”
Only then did his expression improve a little.
Seeing this, Li Xu said, “Yuanyuan, don’t let her eat too many snacks. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
Zhang Kun was cooking in the kitchen.
“Understood.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Then she looked at Li Xiang, “Eat a little of everything. We’ll have breakfast later.”
Li Xiang was indeed quite obedient. She immediately nodded and said, “Okay!”
The living room was noisy, and Ji Zixuan quickly got up.
After the family had breakfast, Li Xu and Zhang Kun went out to work.
The business in the shop had been good for the past few months, and she had earned some money.
Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun’s money had been returned, and the three Li siblings had each returned 10,000 yuan.
Up until now, he still owed Li Miao 290,000 yuan, Li Yong and Li Lei 50,000 yuan each.
It was a total of 390,000.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun actually felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts. They also wanted to earn enough money as soon as possible to repay the famine.
Ji Zixuan was already 19 years old this year, and Ji Zi’ang was 17. Although they were not very reliable at times, they still knew what was important.
Therefore, with the two of them at home, Li Xu and Zhang Kun were at ease.
Ji Zi’ang was quite happy to do so. With Li Xiang around, he could use the opportunity to play a little longer while he was looking after the child.
It would save him the trouble of having his Big Brother pay attention to his studies all day long, afraid he would slack off.
Throughout the morning, Li Xiang behaved well. She watched television with Ji Yuanyuan and played games with Ji Zi’ang. She was in high spirits.
However, it would not be possible after lunch.
Generally speaking, a child of this age would take a nap after lunch.
When it was time for her afternoon nap, she started to look for her parents.
However, her parents were not by her side, so she naturally had to cry for a while.
The three siblings of the Ji family took turns to coax him, but it was useless.
Seeing that Li Xiang was crying until her tears dry, Ji Zi’ang quickly discussed with her, “Don’t cry. I’ll take you to the supermarket to buy delicious food, okay? 1’11 buy you whatever you want!”
“What… buy them all… what?” Ji Zi’ang’s words were really useful. Li Xiang sniffled and asked.
“I’ll buy anything!” Ji Zi’ang nodded hurriedly. “As long as you don’t cry, I’ll buy anything!”
Li Xiang raised his sleeve and wiped her tears, “Okay, then I’ll be strong. I won’t cry!”
Ji Zi’ang heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan, “Let’s agree that we each have to pay.”
As long as Li Xiang did not cry, Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan were not in the mood to argue with Ji Zi’ang and immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang turned around and returned to his room.
Not long after, he took out his wallet, “Take your money and let’s go!”
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan went back to their rooms and took their stash of money.
The three of them took Li Xiang to a nearby supermarket.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, Li Xiang held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and looked around. In the end, they stopped in the toy section.
“Sister, I want that doll!”
Li Xiang pointed at a doll on the shelf from afar.
That doll looked very expensive.
Ji Zi’ang subconsciously clutched his wallet. “That doll is for an adult. It’s not pretty at all and doesn’t suit you.”
Li Xiang pouted, “Sister, I want it!”
“Alright, let’s buy it then.” Ji Yuanyuan said gently.
“Ji Yuanyuan!” Ji Zi’ang called her name and reminded her softly.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about how expensive the dolls in the supermarket could be, so she ignored Ji Zi’ang and went forward to take the dolls from the shelves.
However, just as she was about to stand on her tiptoes to take it, a hand reached out and took the doll away first.
“Sorry, I got it first.”bThe other party said.
Ji Yuanyuan tilted his head in surprise and looked at the person beside her.
However, when she saw the other party’s face, she was stunned.
What a coincidence, she was an acquaintance.
Ji Zi’ang and Ji Zixuan stood at the side and did not recognize this person.
Ji Zi’ang was glad it had been snatched away, so he did not have to spend money to buy it for Li Xiang.
This broken doll cost more than 80 yuan.. Was it made of gold?
