Ji Yuanyuan tugged at the corner of her shirt as she lowered her head in deep thought.
Seeing that she did not reply, he turned to look at her.
She happened to see Ji Yuanyuan looking up with an inexplicable smile on her face.
“Big Brother, let’s go back to Grandpa and Grandma’s house for a few days? Li Xiang might not cry when she saw her grandparents.” Ji Yuanyuan said with a smile.
“What do you want to do?” He asked.
His sister suddenly said she wanted to go back to the countryside at this time.
It was definitely not just for Li Xiang.
Ji Yuanyuan put on an innocent expression, “Do what? 1 did it for Li Xiang!”
Ji Zixuan reached out to stop a car and said, “Let’s go back and discuss it with Dad and Mom.”
They got into a taxi and went home.
Ji Zi’ang had already returned with Li Xiang and was watching TV on the sofa in the living room.
Li Xiang didn’t sleep at noon. She sat on the sofa and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.
She hugged the doll she bought from the supermarket tightly.
Beside him, Ji Zi’ang was engrossed in watching television.
“Can’t you see that she’s tired?” Ji Zixuan asked softly with a frown. “Can’t you bring her to sleep for a while?”
Ji Zi’ang turned around and realized Li Xiang’s expression. He said embarrassedly, “She was still chattering with me just now!”
He shook his head helplessly and gently picked Li Xiang up.
He carried her to Ji Yuanyuan’s room.
Li Xiang was very sleepy. As soon as she touched the bed, she turned over and automatically found a comfortable position before falling asleep.
Ji Zixuan left the room and closed the door.
Li Xiang slept until six in the evening.
Li Xu woke her up. If she didn’t get up, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. Moreover, it was time for dinner.
At the dining table, Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu were discussing the matter of returning to the countryside.
Li Xu was a little hesitant, “Your grandparents are busy enough. They still have to take care of a few of you. Forget it. I’ll make Xiangxiang sleep at night.
“How could that be? We’re already so old. Why do we need Grandpa and Grandma to take care of us? We should be the ones helping Grandpa and Grandma.” Ji Zi’ang also wanted to go back and speak up for Ji Yuanyuan.
Li Xu was still a little hesitant, “1’11 discuss it with your dad tonight.”
However, before it was time to sleep, Li Xu compromised.
The main reason was that Li Xiang was too difficult to coax when she cried.
Ever since she was young, she had never left her parents’ side.
It was still fine during the day, but at night, it was impossible to coax her.
Li Xu cried so hard that she almost fainted. She quickly said, “Sleep at First Aunt’s room tonight and let Brother and Sister bring you home tomorrow, okay?”
It would be better if her parents were not by her side.
Li Xiang stopped crying when she heard that she could go home.
After coaxing her for nearly an hour, she finally fell asleep.
Li Xu was exhausted and whispered to Zhang Kun, “Let the children bring Xiangxiang back to the countryside tomorrow. If this goes on, I’m going to have a heart attack.”
Zhang Kun gently patted her back and whispered, “Alright, let them go back and stay for two days. The children can relax themselves and help our parents do some work.”
Although Ji Zixuan was already in his third year of high school, he was already guaranteed entry, so there was no need to keep an eye on him.
Other than attending classes with his classmates, he spent his free time looking for first-year textbooks to read by himself.
He had already decided on his direction a long time ago, ‘Mathematics’.
He was interested in mathematics, and among all the subjects, his mathematics results were the best.
No matter what he chose, as long as it was something he liked, Li Xu and Zhang Kun would naturally support it.
Early the next morning, Li Xu and Zhang Kun happily packed the children’s luggage and sent them home on the bus.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun had been busy with the company’s matters for the past few days. The company’s business license had been issued for so long, but they did not even have a decent office. It would not look like it would be a good idea to discuss cooperation with other companies in the future.
Therefore, Li Xu and Zhang Kun had been busy looking for a suitable office location for the past few days.
If Zhang Kun were to deliver it, it would take two hours to go back and forth. It was a waste of time.
Besides, the children were all grown up now.
Ji Zixuan was already 1.8 meters tall, and so was Ji Zi’ang.
Even if they did, they would probably be afraid of the bad guys.
The bus only went to the county. After getting off the bus, they got on Li Zhiming’s tricycle and returned to their home in the countryside.
Liu Guihua was taking care of Li Jie at home. When she saw the children return, she was very happy and instructed Li Zhiming, “Go up the mountain and catch a chicken. I’ll make you fried chicken for lunch.”
“Alright!” Li Zhiming nodded.
When they went up the mountain to catch chickens, Ji Yuanyuan and his two brothers followed them.
It had been a long time since they had been here. Along the way, there were greenhouses everywhere. Even the mountains were covered in white.
“Grandpa, have First Uncle and Second Uncle booked the entire mountain?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.
Previously, they had only rented a part of the mountain to plant greenhouses, and the rest were still in a hurry.
But now, the entire mountain was covered in greenhouses.
Li Zhiming sighed, “Yeah, they’ve bought it all. They wouldn’t listen no matter how hard 1 tried to persuade them. They’ve bought such a big mountain all by themselves.”
Li Yong and Li Lei had hired quite a number of people for such a large piece of land.
Dafu was also among them. He could be considered a small leader. When Li Yong and Li Lei were not around, he helped to look after the people under him.
“Uncle, why are you here?” When Dafu saw Li Zhiming coming over, he quickly went up to him.
“Aren’t the children back? Your Aunt asked me to catch a chicken and cook it for the children.” Li Zhiming said with a smile.
Dafu quickly said, “1’11 go catch them. Uncle, please wait here with the child.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Li Zhiming said politely.”
“No need to be so polite.” Dafu waved his hand.
Then, he turned around and left.
“Now, not only are the people in our village planting it, but the people in the nearby villages are also planting greenhouses. The production went up, but the price fell. The price that the vegetable sellers are offering is getting lower and lower. Sigh…” Li Zhiming said helplessly.
The production of greenhouses was high. It was impossible to sell them all to Li Xu and the supplier that they had previously discussed.
Therefore, Li Yong and Li Lei would also sell a portion to the vegetable vendors.
“Grandpa, as long as we control the quality of the vegetables, we won’t have to worry about not being able to sell them at a high price. It’s a good thing to expand production. In the future, my Mom will open more stores. Maybe it won’t be enough to harvest all the vegetables in our family’s fields!” Ji Yuanyuan comforted her.
“Yes, Grandpa. My Mom has her own company now. Since you have a company, it’s not a small matter anymore. You don’t have to worry so much. He had been tired for most of his life, so he should just enjoy life at home.” Ji Zi’ang comforted her with a smile.
Ji Zixuan looked at him with gratification..
