This was considered a big event. Therefore, on this day, Li Xu brought her family to support Li Yong’s opening.
The car drove along the main road towards the village.
At the intersection in front of the village, there was a sign.
It was a simple word, “Happy Farmhouse,” and an arrow.
It pointed in the direction of the back mountain.
They soon arrived at the back mountain, which had completely changed.
The boundary of the land they contracted was surrounded by a circle of barbed wire.
There were greenhouses at the top, and Li Yong’s farmhouse was at the bottom.
The two-story house was made of green bricks and gray tiles. It had an antique feel to it and was very stylish.
In front of the door, there were several bouquets of flowers.
The two brothers, Li Lei and Li Yong, were busy greeting the guests.
They were not the only family that came to support the event. The neighbors of the village, the Meng family, the Qin family…
“I wish Second Uncle a prosperous business!” Ji Yuanyuan held a thick red packet and stood in front of Li Yong, saying auspicious words.
Li Yong carried them all up happily. “Then I’ll thank my niece for her good words.”
Then, he looked at Li Xu and Zhang Kun and said, “Sis, Brother-in-law, there are so many of you here. Find a place to sit. If there’s anything that’s not up to standard, don’t be angry.”
When Li Xu heard this, she smiled helplessly and said, “We’re all family, do we need you to entertain us?”
She stretched out her hand and patted Ji Yuanyuan’s back, “Hurry up and get down. Don’t let your Second Uncle carry you. How old are you?”
Ji Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue and discussed with Li Yong, “Second uncle, please put me down!”
Li Yong heard this and put Ji Yuanyuan down.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun brought Ji Yuanyuan and the other two in.
Li Yong was still at the door, greeting the other friends who had come.
In the room, Li Miao made tea and came out to pour tea for the guests.
“Little Sister Li Miao, pour me a cup!” Qin Xiaojie was also there. Seeing the situation, he walked up and said to Li Miao with a smile.
Li Miao smiled and poured a glass for Qin Xiaojie.
After the water in the teapot was poured out, Li Miao went to the kitchen to refill the teapot.
Qin Xiaojie saw this and went to the kitchen door.
Li Zheng finished refilling the water and turned around to see Qin Xiaojie standing at the door.
She was so shocked she almost dropped the teapot in her hand.
When she regained her senses, she patted her chest and said in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Qin Xiaojie looked at her with a cheeky smile, “Little Sister Li Miao, when will you start school? Let’s go together then? I’ll drive you to school.”
Qin Xiaojie kept calling Li Miao his “Little Sister”, which made Li Miao feel a little disgusted.
However, she remembered that Qin Xiaojie was her second sister-in-law’s younger brother after all, so she couldn’t show her disgust. She could only force a smile and say, “In a few days. I’m afraid it’s not on the way. 1 won’t trouble you.”
She walked to the door. When she saw Qin Xiaojie had no intention of moving away, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
“Please make way, 1 still have to go out and pour tea for the guests.”
Even after hearing Li Miao’s words, Qin Xiaojie didn’t have any intention of moving away.
He was still smiling casually, “Little Sister Li Miao, it’s so troublesome for you to take the train alone. We can have a companion on the way. We can talk… Sigh…”
Before he could finish, Qin Xiaojie covered his ears and shouted, “It hurts, it hurts…”
Qin Xiaomin grabbed his ear and pulled him out of the door.
Li Miao held the teapot and it quickly fled the scene from the gap.
Seeing that Li Miao had already left, Qin Xiaomin still had no intention of letting go. Qin Xiaojie quickly begged for mercy, “Sister, my good Big Sister, let me go…”
Qin Xiaomin let go of her hand and looked at Qin Xiaojie with a serious expression, “Qin Xiaojie, what did I tell you before? You’ve forgotten everything, haven’t you?”
Qin Xiaojie rubbed her ears. “Sister, you’re too sensitive. I just wanted to give her a ride. I’ll be there in two days anyway.”
“We grew up together,” Qin Xiaomin sneered, “I know what kind of sh*t you’re going to take the moment you stick your butt out. I’m warning you, stay away from Li Miao. She’s not a friend you can mess around with.”
Seeing how serious Qin Xiaomin was, Qin Xiaojie could only say, “I know, 1 know. I’ll stay away from her in the future.”
Qin Xiaomin only stopped when she saw that. She turned around and left.
Looking at Qin Xiaomin’s back, Qin Xiaojie muttered smugly, “1’11 see how you’re going to control me when 1 get to B City!”
This year, the students started school relatively late.
Li Miao’s school started on the 20th of the first month. She had booked a ticket for the 19th of the first month at 8 am.
It was a little early and she was afraid that she wouldn’t make it in the morning, so she stayed at Li Xu’s house the night before.
At night, Zhang Kun went back to his own house, while Li Xu and Li Miao stayed in the same room.
Li Miao stayed at home for the entire winter vacation. The school was about to start, and she was a little reluctant to leave.
“Sis, why do you think that the older one grows, the further away they are from home?” she sighed as she lay on the bed.
“That’s because you’re flying higher and higher.” Li Xu said casually.
Li Miao stared at the ceiling in a daze and didn’t speak for a long time.
“By the way, you didn’t contact Liu Zijian during the winter break, did you?” Li Xu suddenly thought of something and asked.
She wasn’t too sure about Li Miao’s situation at home. Liu Zijian’s house wasn’t too far from theirs.
If the two of them really met in private, their family members might not find out.
“We… We’ve met once!” Li Miao said in a whisper.
Li Xu panicked. She quickly turned around and looked at Li Miao, “When?”
“However, you don’t have to worry, I’ve already made things clear with him.”
“What do you mean?” Li Xu looked at Li Miao suspiciously. She didn’t quite understand what Li Miao meant.
“After the new year, he did come to find me once. He wants to confirm our relationship, but I’ve already clearly rejected him.”
“You rejected him?” Li Xu’s face lit up.
“Yes, I rejected him. I’ve thought about your words carefully. Liu Zijian is indeed not suitable for me. 1 should have made a clean break with him while I still don’t have any feelings for him. I thought it would be a difficult task, but…”
Li Miao chuckled, “Maybe I’ve overestimated my feelings for him. Now that I think about it, I don’t feel anything.”
Looking at Li Miao’s expression, Li Xu believed that she was telling the truth.
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely meet someone more suitable for you in the future, someone more outstanding.” She consoled.
Li Miao laughed, “Maybe!”
“Hurry up and sleep,” she said in a low voice after laughing, “You still have to wake up early tomorrow morning!”
Li Xu nodded and reached out to turn off the lights.
In the dark, Li Miao’s eyes were wide open, and she closed them after a long time.
The next morning, when Zhang Kun went to work, he drove Li Miao to the station.
Someone was watching her shop, so Li Xu had some time.
In the morning, he made breakfast for the children at home. After breakfast, he drove Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang to school.
As for her, she sent Ji Yuanyuan to school..
