When they returned to the Li family, only Liu Guihua and Qin Xiaomin were at home taking care of the children.
The rest of the people were either going up the mountain or working in the greenhouse.
Ji Zi’ang had no choice but to let Zhang Kun drive around the village before leaving.
After leaving the Li family, the whole family went to the Zhang family.
From afar, he could see Wenwen and Shuoshuo squatting at the door. He did not know what they were doing.
Zhang Kun parked the car at the door. The two children looked at him in surprise and vigilance.
When Zhang Kun got out of the car, Wenwen finally reacted. “Uncle!”
“Uncle!” Shuoshuo followed suit.
After shouting, he strode into the courtyard with his short legs. “Grandpa, Grandma! Uncle and the others are here. They drove a small car.”
Shuoshuo was four years old and he was very eloquent now.
Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali followed him out. When they saw the car in front of the door, their eyes suddenly lit up.
“Kun, where did you get this car?” Wang Yuechu asked in surprise.
“We just bought it!” Zhang Kun quickly said.
“You bought it?” Wang Yuechu asked in disbelief, “Is it expensive?”
No one in their village could afford a small car!
“It’s not expensive!” Zhang Kun quickly said.
“The few of you, hurry up and come down!” Li Xu said to the three children,
“Let Grandpa and Grandma try it too.”
The three children opened the car door and got out one by one.
Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun. “You drive. Take Mom, Dad, and the two children for a walk.”
Hearing this, Wang Yuechu waved her hand a little cautiously. “No need, we’re quite dirty, don’t get it dirty!”
Li Xu held her arm and said, “It’s our own car. What’s there to be dirty about? You can go up and let Zhang Kun take you for a ride!”
As she spoke, she had already helped Wang Yuechu to the door.
After a few words of rejection, Wang Yuechu still sat in the back seat.
Zhang Kun helped Zhang Dali into the passenger’s seat.
Wenwen and Shuoshuo also got into the back seat.
Zhang Kun left in his car, while Li Xu entered the house with the three children.
The washing machine in the yard spun a few rounds before stopping. Li Xu opened the lid and took out the washed clothes. She started to dry them one by one on the drying rope.
In the car, Wang Yuechu carefully touched the body of the car and asked, “How much is this car?”
“4000 Yuan. It’s second-hand, not expensive!” Zhang Kun said.
Even so, Wang Yuechu was still speechless. “It’s not cheap!”
She paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and then instructed Zhang Kun, “It’s not easy for Xiao Xu either. Be more diligent when you’re home. Don’t think that washing clothes and cooking are all women’s duties. You should do it when you have the time. A family belongs to two people, so you have to manage it well together.”
How could Zhang Kun not know what his mother was thinking? She most likely thought Li Xu made a lot of money and was afraid he would not be welcomed at home if he did not work.
“You don’t have to tell me, I know. I’m very diligent at home.”
Wang Yuechu listened and smiled, “That’s good. Look at how happy you are now. You don’t have to worry about the children’s studies, and you don’t have to worry about making money for the family. We should know how to be content and how to be grateful. Treat your wife well.”
If it wasn’t for his eldest daughter-in-law, daughter, and youngest son, they wouldn’t be living so well, and his eldest son wouldn’t be as happy as he was now.
Zhang Kun nodded with a smile and quickly drove to Zhang Jun’s home.
The couple was pulling a water pipe and watering the greenhouse. Their body was covered in mud as if they had been fished out of the mud.
When Zhang Kun came back, it was already 11:30 in the afternoon.
He drove the old couple and the two children.
Zhang Jun and Hao Melting were riding a small three-wheeled motorcycle with a water pipe on it.
As soon as they entered, they saw the courtyard full of clothes to dry and the faint smell of food.
Zhang Kun had taken the afternoon off, so he was not in a hurry to go back.
He walked into the kitchen and saw Li Xu stir-frying vegetables. There was cabbage and meat stir-fried in the pot.
On the cabinet next to her were a tomato scrambled egg, a cold cucumber salad, and a cold shredded eggplant.
There were many people at home, and the portions of the dishes were large, so they were all stored in those small iron basins.
Ji Zi’ang took a fan and fanned Li Xu from behind. Ji Zixuan was in the living room setting up the dishes while Ji Yuanyuan was in charge of looking at the dishes on the cabinet to prevent flies from climbing up.
“You three are so capable!” Zhang Kun laughed.
As he spoke, he had already reached out to take the spatula from Li Xu’s hand. “All right, you can sit and wait. I’ll do the rest!”
Li Xu didn’t fight with him and went to the courtyard.
Zhang Jun and Hao Melting were scooping water from the water tank to wash the mud off their bodies.
Seeing Li Xu come out, Hao Meiting said, “Sister, you came back just in time. Zhang Jun and I were thinking of calling you tomorrow. Another batch of vegetables in the field has ripened. Please find time to find a car to come over in the next two days.”
“Sure. Let me ask Uncle Meng when he’s free,” Li Xu agreed.
As the two of them were talking, Zhang Yao came in from outside.
She looked at the water pipe that Zhang Jun put on the small tricycle and discussed with Zhang Jun, “Don’t put up the water pipe yet. 1’11 use it in the afternoon. I need to water my side too.”
Zhang Jun had already washed up and wiped his face with a towel. “You can use it, you don’t have to tell me!”
“Sis, come here quickly. I’ll get you some water to wash off the mud on your body,” Hao Meiting said.
Li Xu saw that there was no need for her here, so she turned around and went back into the house.
Wang Yuechu and the others had already sat down at the table, waiting for them to come back.
After a morning of work, Zhang Jun and the others were starving. They sat down and began to eat.
Next to Ji Yuanyuan was Wenwen. The two sisters would occasionally talk to each other, and Wenwen looked a little more lively than before.
She hadn’t been following Zhang Yao to the fields recently, so she looked fairer.
Li Xu asked her tentatively, “Wenwen, do you want to stay at our house for two days? Let Big Sister Yuanyuan play with you!”
Her soft-heartedness came back again. Looking at Wenwen’s submissive look, she thought maybe she could take Wenwen for a walk in the city and see the world. Maybe she could become more lively after that.
Wenwen looked at Li Xu timidly and shook her head.
Zhang Yao knew that Li Xu had good intentions, so she explained with a bitter smile, “This child is clingy to me and has never left my side since she was young…”
As they were talking, the sound of the door opening came from outside.
Hearing the voice, Zhang Kun turned around in surprise.
“Why is he here?” Zhang Kun’s voice sounded impatient.
When Li Xu heard this, she also looked over.
He then realized that it was Wei Zhenghao who came in.
He held a large watermelon in his hand and walked into the courtyard, looking back three times with every step he took.
Zhang Kun frowned, got up, and went to the courtyard.
“What are you doing here?” Zhang Kun directly blocked him in the courtyard.
Wei Zhenghao saw Zhang Kun and smiled. “I haven’t seen the child in a long time, so I’m here to see her.. That car outside, don’t tell me it’s yours?”
