91 Chapter 90, Marry a Wife and Give Birth to a Fat Boy
One had to know that his monthly salary was only 300 yuan. If he didn’t eat or drink, he wouldn’t be able to earn more than 4000 yuan a year.
“Sister, you didn’t borrow money from others, right?” Li Yong said with some surprise, “I really have money on me.”
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming also said in a hurry, “There’s still a lot of money left after selling the wheat. You can sell it for a few hundred Yuan. Hurry up and return the money you borrowed from others!”
Li Xu looked at the shocked look of her family and said helplessly, “This is really what I earned in the past six months. This business is really profitable. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so eager to let you guys build this greenhouse.”
Of course, Li Xu’s real income was not just this little. After all, she was doing a business without any capital. In the past six months, she had already saved up ten thousand Yuan in her bank account.
She only took out 5,000 yuan and it scare her family to such an extent. If she took out all of it, they would probably not believe it.
She had also calculated that 5,000 Yuan was enough to build this greenhouse.
When they heard Li Xu’s words, the Li family’s faces were full of shock.
They knew that the selling vegetables made money, but they did not expect it to be so profitable.
Seeing everyone’s shocked expressions, Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu looked at each other. The mother and daughter smiled in tacit understanding.
“Grandpa, Grandma, when the vegetable greenhouse is built, the two of you can earn a lot of money just like Mom. When you earn money, Aunty won’t have to go out and work anymore. Let Second Uncle marry a wife and give birth to a fat boy.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s words made everyone laugh. Li Yong seemed to have thought of something and his face was a little red.
He reached out and tapped Ji Yuanyuan’s head, “You little brat, you can still worry about your Second Uncle. Do you know what a fat boy is?”
Ji Yuanyuan held her forehead and blinked at Li Yong, “When you marry Aunt, you’ll have a fat kid!”
Li Yong was about to reach out, but Zhang Kun had already quickly picked Ji Yuanyuan up, “Our Yuanyuan is telling the truth, don’t touch her.”
Ji Yuanyuan was in Zhang Kun’s arms and made a face at Li Yong.
Li Yong was furious, “So now you were already acting like a family fighting against the outsider? Second Uncle has bought so much delicious food and clothes for you. Ji Yuanyuan, you heartless little thing.”
Ji Yuanyuan was not moved at all. He hugged Zhang Kun’s neck and continued to smile brightly.
At night, Li Yong cooked. After dinner, Li Yong brought Zhang Kun and his two nephews to Li Lei’s house to sleep.
There were too many people, so they could not sleep in one house.
Over there, Li Yong and Zhang Kun slept on the same heated brick bed, while Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang slept on the same heated brick bed.
It was getting late. Ji Zi’ang had just laid down on the heated brick bed when Zhang Kun appeared at the door with a mysterious expression.
Ji Zi’ang blinked and looked at him.
Zhang Kun smiled, “Uncle Zhang has something good for you. Guess what it is?”
Ji Zi’ang’s expression brightened at Zhang Kun’s words, “Is it a transformer?”
Zhang Kun nodded with a smile and took out a transformer with his left hand. It was exactly the same as the design on Ji Zi’ang’s card.
Ji Zi’ang happily stood up from the heated brick bed and hugged Zhang Kun’s neck, “Uncle Zhang, you’re too good. I like you so much.”
Zhang Kun stuffed the transformer into Ji Zi’ang’s arms and he started to play with it excitedly.
A week had passed. He had thought that Uncle Zhang had forgotten about this matter, but it turned out that he had not!
Ji Zixuan sat at the side and watched this scene with a faint smile on his face. He did not seem disappointed at all.
Zhang Kun secretly praised himself in his heart and stretch out his right hand.
“Zixuan, I heard from your mother that you like reading. That’s why Uncle Zhang bought you a few books, I hope you like them.”
Ji Zixuan blinked his eyes and asked in surprise, “Do I have some too?”
Zhang Kun nodded, “Of course, since you got first place this time, Uncle Zhang will naturally reward you.”
Ji Zixuan pursed his lips and said shyly, “Thank you, Uncle Zhang.”
On the other side, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the extra Barbie doll and asked curiously, “Mom, where did you get this?”
Li Xu smiled and said, “Your Uncle Zhang bought it for you, do you like it?”
“I like it, I like it.” Ji Yuanyuan took out the Barbie doll and looked at it carefully.
This Barbie doll was very exquisite. Even though she was a big kid in her heart, she could not help but be moved when she saw this toy.
“It’s good that you like it. Your Uncle Zhang has been choosing for a long time.”
Yesterday, the two of them went to the department store together.
She chose the gifts for Zhang Kun’s family, and Zhang Kun chose the gifts for the three children.
Finally, it was not in vain that the two of them almost broke their legs yesterday. It was good that the children liked it.
…
Early the next morning, the person who delivered the steel pipe came. It was a steel pipe that was especially used to build a greenhouse. As long as you said you wanted to build a few acres of a greenhouse, they would send you steel pipes for a few acres.
Two acres of steel pipes cost close to three thousand yuan. Li Xu counted the money on the spot.
There were several types of steel pipes. The straight ones, the ones with arcs, the connected pipes, and so on.
After receiving the money, they helped to install each part. As they installed it, they taught how to do it at the same time.
Very soon, a few young people, including Li Zhiming, learned it.
After the steel pipe seller left, the Li family and Zhang Kun personally went to work and installed it properly.
This job was not easy. Not only did they have to install it, but they also had to dig a hole in the ground and bury the steel pipe.
After an entire afternoon, a few of them were exhausted.
The main contributors were the men. Li Xu, Li Miao, and Liu Guihua were still slacking.
Therefore, at noon, the three women went home to cook.
The few men and the three children sat under the shade of the trees to rest.
Ji Yuanyuan held the newspaper and sat beside Li Yong, fanning him with all his might, “How are you, Second Uncle? Do you feel cool?”
Li Yong opened his eyes with difficulty, “Cool, my niece knows how to feel sorry for me.”
Ji Zi’ang and Ji Zixuan also fanned Li Zhiming and Zhang Kun with all their might when they heard this.
Li Zhiming looked at the steel bars all over the floor and muttered, “When the greenhouse is built, we have to build a small wooden house. Your mother and I will come and live here. These are all steel bars. It would be terrible if someone stole them.”
Li Yong closed his eyes and nodded, “Yes, we have to come and watch. Otherwise, when the dishes are ready, there will be many people who will come and steal them.”
It was true that the villagers were simple and honest. It was also true that they loved to steal.
Li Xu and the other two quickly brought the food over. Everyone had been tired for the whole morning, and the food become especially delicious.
After eating, Li Xu put the bowls and chopsticks on the small three-wheel, and the group of people began to work again.
They worked until six o’clock, and the progress was only a quarter.
“Xiao Zhang, it’s getting late. You’d better go back quickly,” Liu Guihua said with some embarrassment.
Logically speaking, Zhang Kun hadn’t married little Xu yet, so they shouldn’t order him around.
However, Xiao Zhang was a good person, so he insisted on coming along. They couldn’t persuade him.
