Chapter 103
103 Chapter 102, The Bike Was Not Locked Yet
Ji Zixuan carried the noodles and took another bowl. He filled it with a piece of meat bone, brought chopsticks, and went to deliver food to Li Xu.
When Ji Zixuan went over, there were a lot of people in the shop, and Li Xu was busy.
Ji Zixuan said, “Mom, you eat first, I’ll watch it for you for a while.”
Seeing that everyone in the shop was still choosing and no one was paying, Li Xu obediently sat down to eat.
“Brother Zixuan, why is it you?” At this moment, a mother and daughter suddenly came in from outside the door. The girl called out in surprise.
Ji Zixuan looked up and saw that it was Yang Jingyi and her mother who had come in.
“Hello, Auntie!” Ji Zixuan politely nodded at Yang Jingyi’s mother, Hu Chunli.
He then looked at Yang Jingyi, “Jingyi, hello to you too.”
Strangely, Yang Jingyi, who had lost a lot of weight last winter, had gained back some weight. She even seemed to be fatter than before.
However, Ji Zixuan did not stare at her and quickly averted his gaze.
Hu Chunli smiled at Li Xu and greeted her, “I heard that a vegetable shop opened here when I came back yesterday. So, you’re the one who opened it.”
Li Xu quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. After swallowing the noodles in her mouth, she replied, “It’s just opened a few days ago. I haven’t seen Jingyi recently. Did you go back to your hometown?”
Before the holidays, Jingyi often came to visit Yuanyuan. Since the summer holidays, she had not seen her once.
Speaking of this topic, Hu Chunli’s expression was a little ugly.
She sighed lightly and patted Yang Jingyi’s head, “This child is not feeling well. Her father and I took her to the hospital in B City for a checkup.”
Sick? Ji Zixuan frowned slightly.
Didn’t most people lose weight when they were sick? Why did Yang Jingyi gain a lot of weight instead?
Ji Zixuan knew that sick people were sensitive, so he did not look at Yang Jingyi when he heard this.
Yang Jingyi was simple-minded. Seeing that Ji Zixuan did not look at her, she felt a little disappointed, “Brother Zixuan, are you free today? I’ll come and play with you.”
Ji Zixuan was not willing to play with other girls besides Yuanyuan. Just as he was about to reject her, he saw Yang Jingyi’s expectant gaze and could not bear to do so.
She was already sick, so it was better not to discourage her. If she was in a bad mood, it would not be easy for her to recover.
Only when she was in a good mood could she recover quickly!
With this thought in mind, Ji Zixuan looked at Yang Jingyi and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m going to go to a grandfather’s house later. I might be a little late. If you’re free tonight, you can come over and play.”
Hearing this, Yang Jingyi looked at Hu Chunli expectantly.
Hu Chunli thought about it and nodded, “Sure, but you have to go home early and not get hurt, okay?”
Yang Jingyi nodded with a smile. “Got it, Mom!”
Hu Chunli was in a hurry to go home and cook. After saying goodbye to Li Xu, she turned around and went to pick up the vegetables.
Someone came over to pay the bill. Ji Zixuan weighed the dishes, calculated the bill, collected the money, and give the changes. He was very busy.
Seeing that Ji Zixuan was busy, Yang Jingyi did not say anything. She quietly stood at the side and looked at Ji Zixuan with admiration.
Wow, Brother Zixuan is so handsome. He actually knows how to do accounting and change money.
She was so envious of Ji Yuanyuan. He had a handsome brother like Ji Zixuan who was good at studying and accounting!
Soon, Hu Chunli finished choosing the dishes and came over.
Naturally, Li Xu could not take her money. After all, Yang Jingyi was Ji Yuanyuan’s best friend.
In addition, from what Hu Chunli had said earlier, Yang Jingyi did not seem to be suffering from a minor illness.
However, Hu Chunli was not the kind of person who was greedy for small gains.
The two of them fought for a while, and in the end, Hu Chunli won.
She put down ten Yuan and ran away with Yang Jingyi.
Li Xu had no choice but to accept it. She quickly finished her meal and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Ji Zixuan to take home before she started working again.
By the time Ji Zixuan returned, Li Yong and the others had already finished their meal.
Li Yong scooped a bowl for them and washed it in passing.
The soup had only been stewed for an hour, and there was still some work to be done. Li Yong stood guard in the kitchen while Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang went to the desk to do their homework. Meanwhile, Ji Yuanyuan returned to her bedroom and entered the space before anyone noticed.
Recently, Li Xu had been selling her vegetables so quickly that the space was almost unable to supply them. Fortunately, there was still some stock left in the space. Otherwise, they would have run out of stock.
In another two months, Grandpa and Grandma’s greenhouse batch of vegetables would mature, which would also greatly relieve the pressure.
At ten o’clock, the soup was finally ready. The bottom of the soup had turned white, making it look tempting.
Li Yong found the thermos bucket at home and put the soup in it. Then, he called out to the three children, “Come out, let’s go!”
The three children quickly came out. Li Yong took the thermos bucket and the keys to the small tricycle and walked out of the house.
According to the address left by Qin Xiaomin, Li Yong led the three children all the way over.
When they reached the entrance of the residential area, Ji Zi’ang was stunned.
“Wow, Second Uncle, this must be the villa, right?”
The luxurious houses were neatly arranged. There were a lot of plants in the residential area, and they were all neatly trimmed. The road was clean and spacious. Even the trash cans by the roadside were clean.
When they arrived, Li Yong was still happy and even a little expectant. However, when he reached the door, his heart suddenly turned cold.
At first, he didn’t think much of her sister saying that the family didn’t match. But now, he finally realized what she meant.
Qin Xiaomin was the daughter of a rich family who lived in a villa, but he was just a poor kid who hadn’t even finished high school.
After a moment, he went up to the security guard in annoyance and said, “Big Brother, we’re looking for the Qin family in number 25, can you let us in?”
The security guard immediately said, “They already inform us about it yesterday. You guys can go in.”
As he spoke, he opened the door for Li Yong and the others.
Li Yong used the small tricycle to bring the three children into the villa area. The worn-out small tricycle looked out of place in the villa. Li Yong’s face was a little embarrassed, so he simply stopped the small tricycle at the roadside parking spot, he said, “Let’s go, we’ll walk over.”
He was about to walk over with the three people.
Seeing that Li Yong was about to leave without locking the bike, Ji Zi’ang was a little anxious, “Second Uncle, the bike isn’t locked yet!”
Someone happened to pass by. Hearing Ji Zi’ang’s words, he looked over and could not help but laugh.
This laughter was especially obvious. Ji Zi’ang looked over in surprise. The woman immediately turned her head away, her face filled with embarrassment.
It was obvious that she did not do it on purpose.
Li Yong covered his face. He really felt that his nephew was a little embarassing.
In a villa district filled with cars, even if he were to give this small tricycle to someone for free, they probably would not want it, right?
