65 Chapter 64, Thoughts
Who wouldn’t want to be someone a presence they can brag about in their child’s heart?
Ji Zi’ang whispered into Li Xu’s ear, “Mommy, we’ll go home after Qi Huanhuan comes out.”
Li Xu said gently, “Okay.”
After about ten seconds, a beautiful girl walked out calmly.
As expected of the class Belle, she was indeed a very beautiful girl.
Seeing Qi Huanhuan, Ji Zi’ang was even more proud.
He deliberately said loudly, “Mommy, what are we eating tonight?”
Sure enough, after hearing Ji Zi’ang’s voice, Qi Huanhuan looked over.
When she saw Li Xu, Qi Huanhuan’s expression was a little surprised.
Seeing Qi Huanhuan’s expression, Ji Zi’ang was finally satisfied. He then dragged Li Xu home with a smile on his face.
After dinner, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang returned to the bedroom to do their homework. As for Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan, they went into space.
After a few days, the vegetables in the space had grown quite a lot. Tomatoes and cucumbers were already hanging on the branches.
It looked like they were indeed better than the seeds planted outside.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked her eyes as she reminded Li Xu, “Mom, should we bring the seeds outside to try it out? If it can be planted outside, then Grandpa and Grandma can also use this seed. Then they can earn a lot of money.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s words reminded Li Xu. She sat down at the side and hugged Ji Yuanyuan as she thought about this matter.
If the seeds would still be the same when they were taken out of the space could still be taken out as if they were in the space, then Yuanyuan’s idea was not bad.
She had saved quite a lot of money on hand. With the money that Xiao Yong and her parents had, it was probably more than enough to build a greenhouse.
She had read in the newspapers that the technology of the greenhouse was already very mature.
The seeds in the space were of good variety, and her parents were both experts in agronomy. The things they planted would definitely be good, and there was no need to worry about not having deals.
His parents only planted corn, wheat, and potatoes now. After a year, they could not save much money.
Farming required capital, Miaomiao needed money to go to school, and the family needed money for food and clothing.
His parents were already very frugal. Usually, when the old couple was at home, they would not even be willing to eat vegetables, let alone meat.
Two steamed buns and a pile of pickled vegetables were enough.
But after saving for so many years, they only managed to save up to have one house. It was a house built by themselves in the countryside.
Xiao Lei did have a house for his marriage, but what about Xiao Yong’s?
Other than Miaomiao, a few of them had also earned money. They had given quite a lot to the old couple, but even if they did, they would not spend it.
Therefore, if they wanted their parents to live a better life, they had to let them earn money on their own.
Thinking of this, Li Xu’s expression became firm. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said, “Yuanyuan, get some seeds. We’ll go back to Grandma’s house this weekend.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “Okay.”
Soon, another weekend arrived. This time, Li Yong was taking the weekend off. On Saturday night, Li Xu and Li Yong brought the children home together.
When they returned home, the sky was already completely dark.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were having dinner. The old couple did not know that the children had returned, so dinner was very simple.
Two bowls of millet porridge, two steamed buns, a plate of pickled radish, and a plate of cold pickled vegetables were their dinner.
The radish and cabbage were grown by themselves in the winter. After they were harvested, they were placed in the cellar. They had not spoiled yet.
Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly instructed Li Yong, “I brought some vegetables back from the car trunk, bring them over.”
Before Li Yong could do anything, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang had already gone to get them.
Liu Guihua carried Ji Yuanyuan to the heated brick bed, took off her shoes, and tucked her feet under the blanket. She asked in a low voice, “Are you cold?”
Li Xu had brought them back on a tricycle. Although it was already early spring, the air was still very cold at night.
Ji Yuanyuan pulled out a sweet smile. “It’s a little cold, but the thought of seeing Grandpa and Grandma soon warms my heart.”
Liu Guihua smiled and hugged Ji Yuanyuan. “Your mouth is much better than your mother’s. Your mother was a taciturn person when she was young. She only knew how to work and didn’t know how to speak well.”
Li Xu and Li Yong were picking, washing, and cutting vegetables in the kitchen.
“Don’t think it’s troublesome, eat better. Otherwise, the nutrition can’t keep up with the illness and it’s not worth it,” Li Yong said helplessly.
How could eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables have any nutrition?
Li Zhiming wanted to stop them, but when he found out that the children hadn’t eaten, he let Li Yong and Li Xu do whatever they wanted.
Not only did Li Xu bring the vegetables, but she also brought a piece of meat.
The sister and brother worked together while Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were in charge of the fire. In less than half an hour, the three dishes were ready.
Fried eggs with tomatoes, fried meat with cucumbers, and fried meat with pakchoi.
Li Xu also cut cucumber and ate it with sauce.
At the dining table, Li Xu pushed the cucumber toward the middle of the table and asked, “Try this cucumber. It’s grown at my friend’s house.”
Li Zhiming took the first piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then his eyes lit up, “This cucumber is different from the ones grown at home. How did they grow it…”
He shook his head regretfully.
His family had planted a few in the summer, but the texture was not good and it was astringent.
But this cucumber was different, it tasted sweet and crisp.
“The seeds are different. This is a new breed that their family has cultivated themselves. Father, Mother, should we build a greenhouse? It will definitely be more profitable than you planting corn and wheat.”
After Li Xu said this, Li Zhiming choked for a moment. He quickly picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of millet porridge. Only then did he able to breathe.
“Doesn’t it cost more than a thousand Yuan to build a greenhouse? Where did we get the money? We haven’t paid off the money we borrowed for Xiao Lei to build his house.”
Liu Guihua shook her head helplessly, “Don’t be envious of him. Is this shed that easy to build?”
Li Xu also knew that she wouldn’t be able to convince Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua in a short time.
She took out a small bag from her pocket and placed it on the table, “These are all seeds. Why don’t you and dad build a small shed in the yard and try planting some.”
After a pause, she added, “You don’t have to worry about the money. I’ve saved some money here, so I’ll ask Xiao Yong to contribute some money as well. After we earn some money, we’ll give Xiao Yong a bonus.”
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua looked at each other and looked at the seeds on the table. It was obvious that their hearts were moved.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan said with a smile, “Grandpa, Grandma, when you earn some money, we’ll open a supermarket and sell only our vegetables. Then we’ll open many branches and let the whole country eat our vegetables.”
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua only thought that Ji Yuanyuan was speaking child’s words and didn’t take them to heart.
When Li Yong heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, he looked pensive.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked her eyes and didn’t say anything else.
She wasn’t talking child’s words. She had thought about this long ago.
It wasn’t a long-term thing to set up a stall in the vegetable market.
Although there was money to be made, it was hard-earned money.
Not to mention waking up early and going late at night every day, the market was only so big. Selling a few hundred catties a day was probably the limit.
