222 Chapter 221, Two Little Fools
It was the kind of tricycle that didn’t have a shed in the driver’s seat in front.
Therefore, they could clearly see from afar that the driver was Li Lei, and beside Li Lei sat Qin Mucheng.
At the back cargo, Ji Zi’ang, and Li Yong stood side by side. That posture was as if some leader had come to inspect.
When they saw Ji Yuanyuan, the two of them waved at her excitedly.
Fortunately, there was no one on the road, or else they would have lost a lot of face.
There was a small car behind the tricycle. It was Gong Wenbai’s car.
Zhang Kun was nowhere to be seen on the tricycle. Zhang Kun probably felt embarrassed and ran to Gong Wenbai’s car.
When the tricycle stopped in front of Li Xu’s shop, Ji Zi’ang jumped out of the tricycle. “Yuanyuan, Big Brother, go up and try it, it’s fun.”
Qin Mucheng was more reserved than Ji Zi’ang, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.
He sat in the front with his hair blown back and his face flushed red, but he could not help but smile.
Li Xu and Ji Zixuan heard the noise and came out of the shop.
Ji Zi’ang patted the car and said proudly, “Brother Mucheng said that riding in this car feels the same as riding in a convertible sports car.”
Ji Zi’ang’s words amused Ji Yuanyuan. “Yes, it’s equally cold!”
“This car is not bad. How much is it?” Li Xu looked around and asked Li Lei.
“The boss and Brother-in-law know each other. The original price is 5,000 Yuan, but we got it cheaper by 200 Yuan,” Li Lei said. “They even gave it a few free times for maintenance and repair.”
Li Xu nodded and ran to the back to take a look.
The cargo was quite big. It could probably fit a lot of things.
“Then, Sister, we’ll go back now. We’ll get you some vegetables so you sell them first,” Li Lei said.
Then, he looked at Li Yong. “Put your bike on the tricycle too. Don’t ride it anymore.”
When the two of them went, they rode Li Lei’s bike. Now, the bikes were already on the tricycle.
Hearing that, Li Yong jumped off the bike.
He quickly lifted his bicycle and placed it on the tricycle. Then, he sat in front.
Unexpectedly, Li Yong had just sat on it. Ji Zi’ang could not take it anymore and tugged at the corner of Li Yong’s shirt trying to pull him down. “Second Uncle, I want to sit here. When we came back, Brother Mucheng sat on it. I haven’t sat on it yet.”
“We’re going home. Why are you still following us?” Li Yong said proudly. He did not move his butt at all and occupied the seat tightly.
Ji Zi’ang was so angry that his face turned red. “I want to go too.”
With that, he turned to look at Li Xu and asked for her opinion. “Mom, I want to go to Grandma’s house too.”
“Then, how are you going to come back tonight?” Li Xu felt a little helpless.
Ji Zi’ang looked at Gong Wenbo and made the arrangements clearly. “Uncle Gong and Brother Mucheng are going too. Uncle Gong will just send us back tonight.”
Li Yong almost laughed out of anger. “Did you ask Mucheng if he wants to go?”
“Of course he wants to go.”
Qin Mucheng blinked. He wanted to say, ‘Since when did I say I wanted to go?’
“If Yuanyuan goes, he will go!”
Before Qin Mucheng could regain his senses, Ji Zi’ang asked, “Are you going if Yuanyuan goes?”
Qin Mucheng nodded subconsciously. “Yes!”
Ji Zi’ang looked at Li Yong smugly.
Seeing this, Li Lei pushed him. “Get off and let Zi’ang sit here. You’re already so old. Why are you fighting with the child?”
Hearing this, Li Yong could only get off the car aggrievedly.
Ji Zi’ang cheered and climbed to Li Lei’s side.
After he got on, he called out to the others. “Yuanyuan, Brother Mucheng, Big Brother, come quickly.”
Seeing this, Zhang Kun said to Li Xu, “Why don’t you follow them? I’ll stay here and look after the shop.”
Li Xu Thought for a moment. This was also a good solution.
She took off her apron and put it aside. “Then that’s it. It’s faster to work with more people.”
She looked at Ji Zi’ang. “When we go there, you can’t just play. You have to help with the work.”
Ji Zi’ang hurriedly nodded. “Okay, I’ll work, I’ll work!”
Li Xu looked around. Gong Wenbai hurriedly said, “Big Sis, you can take my car!”
Li Xu nodded and carried Ji Yuanyuan into Gong Wenbai’s car.
Ji Zixuan looked at the tricycle and then at Gong Wenbai’s small car that could shelter him from the wind and rain. In the end, he chose the small car without hesitation.
He was not a fool. Why would he stay outside in the middle of winter?
He would be the one who suffered from the cold wind.
Ji Zi’ang looked at his brother and sister, both of whom had chosen a small car. He looked a little disappointed.
After they got into the car, Li Lei started the car.
A rumbling sound was heard. Ji Zi’ang forgot his disappointment very quickly and instead looked excited.
The tricycle disappeared amidst the rumbling sound. Zhang Kun raised his hand and fanned it. After fanning all the exhaust, he smiled helplessly and entered the shop.
Gong Wenbai’s car followed behind. He turned on the air conditioner.
Soon, the interior of the car became warm.
Li Xu looked at the tricycle in front of her and sighed with a smile, “They are really two little fools!”
Gong Wenbai also laughed, “Mucheng wasn’t so happy when he was in B City. Only when he came here would he be so silly!”
The group soon arrived at the field. Li Zhiming, his wife, Li Miao, and Meng Xiaoning were waiting in the shed.
Hearing the noise, the four of them quickly came out of the shed and stood on the field.
After Li Lei parked the car, the four of them surrounded him. They were all curious about this iron thing.
One had to know that in the village, not many families could afford to buy a tricycle.
The sound of tricycle was a little loud, and it soon attracted some people to watch.
They were discussing it from afar.
“They even bought a tricycle. It seems that they have made a lot of money.”
“Exactly. If they didn’t make money, could their family let their two sons stay in the village.”
“This business is not a loss. As long as we have the capital, aren’t everyone able to do it? It’s not like we haven’t planted vegetables in the summer. As long as we cover the shed, we can make money.”
…
A few of the crowd of onlookers were already thinking of countermeasures.
Who wouldn’t be tempted when they saw a profitable business? They didn’t know the market before and didn’t dare to invest. Looking at the Li family now, this business was definitely profitable!
The Li family naturally didn’t know what their neighbors were talking about. After they were done with the tricycle, they started to work.
Although they had harvested the tomato once, there was still a lot of them in the field.
Roughly, they estimated it to be around 7,000 to 8,000 pounds.
As the adults started to work, the children naturally played while they worked.
Gong Wenbai didn’t stand on ceremony either. He looked at Qin Mucheng while helping him pick the tomatoes.
Ji Yuanyuan felt that Uncle Gong had a difficult job.
He was a bodyguard, a driver, and Qin Mucheng’s nanny. Now, he had to work for their family.
