109 Chapter 108 Different From Us

It was still far away from the weekend, so Zhang Kun and Li Yong probably couldn’t go over to help. Otherwise, they could have saved money to hire chefs.

However, since it was such a joyous occasion, spending money was just spending money!

Although she knew that they couldn’t free their time, Li Xu still called them one by one.

She had to let them know, so they were happy too.

She called Zhang Kun first, and he was quite happy too, “Good, my Sister-in-law is amazing. She got into such a good university.”

Hearing the word ‘sister-in-law’, Li Xu’s face was a little red.

She originally thought that Zhang Kun was an honest and steady person, but after dating him, she found out that he would also say such nonsense.

“Screw you. As Brother-in-law, you should think about what gift to give these few days.” After a pause, she was afraid that Zhang Kun would buy too expensive, so she quickly added, “You can’t buy something too expensive, or else Miaomiao will feel bad. Just buy something that is suitable for her and that she likes.”

Zhang Kun felt troubled when he heard that, “I don’t know what she likes either. I still need you, the Big Sister to give me advice!”

“Alright, the phone bill is quite expensive, let’s talk about it another day when you are free.” Li Xu was worried that the phone bill was expensive, so she hung up after saying a few words.

Zhang Kun looked at the phone that was hung up and shook his head helplessly. He put the phone back in its original position.

When the uncle in the communication room saw this, he asked jokingly, “When are you going to hold the banquet? Don’t forget to invite me when the time comes!”

Zhang Kun touched his head bashfully, “It might be next year. Don’t worry, I won’t forget you!”

…

After Li Xu hung up the phone to Zhang Kun, she immediately called Li Yong. After waiting for less than ten seconds, Li Yong came over.

“Hello, Bis Sis, what’s the matter?”

Li Xu frowned, “Aren’t you busy?”

Li Yong smiled, “No, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that Miaomiao has received the acceptance letter.”

“Really? Then, I should go home tomorrow, right? Do we have to hold a banquet or something? It’s been a long time since we’ve celebrated such a happy occasion!” Li Yong said excitedly.

“All you think about is running home all day, you don’t want to work anymore? With your sloppy appearance, can your leader like you?” Li Xu advised somewhat helplessly, “I’ll bring the children home in a while. I’ll take care of the matters at home, don’t worry.”

“Forget it, Sister. We don’t have any work here. The leader will be happy if we ask for leave.” There was no need to pay wages, so they saved another sum of money.

“Besides, I will only be deducted 10 Yuan for a day’s leave. If our family hired a chef, it would be more than 10 Yuan.” Li Yong calculated for Li Xu, “Speaking of which, if I ask for leave, our family will still earn money!”

“Okay, you can do it your way.” Li Xu thought about it and agreed. She said helplessly.

She finally saw that Li Yong’s mind was not on work at all. She did not know what he was thinking.

He was already so old, and he didn’t even have a girlfriend. If he didn’t even have a job…

“Okay, then I’ll take a leave tonight. I’ll go back early tomorrow morning. Just prepare the vegetables,” Li Yong said firmly.

This matter was easy to handle. Yuanyuan’s space was full of vegetables.

Coincidentally, the vegetables in the shop were almost sold out. Li Xu closed the shop and returned to her parents’ home with her three children.

When they got home, it was already past six o’clock in the evening.

It was summer now, and it was still bright at six o’clock. There were a lot of people around the door, and there were traces of firecrackers on the ground.

Li Miao stood in the middle of the crowd, looking a little shy.

The neighbors were all holding peanut seeds and candies in their hands!

Seeing Li Xu come back, the neighbors greeted her warmly, “Xiao Xu, you’re back?”

“Xiao Xu, your old Li family is amazing. There’s a university student, and she’s even a student from a key university!”

“In the future, your old Li family will be different from us.”

…

Li Zhiming, who had never liked to talk much, heard them and said with a smile, “What’s different? Aren’t they still farmers facing the yellow soil and the sky? Everyone should come for lunch tomorrow and celebrate!”

Seeing that Li Xu had come back, the family probably had something to say, and the neighbors also tactfully left.

Before they left, each of them had to go up and grab a handful of candy, peanuts, and melon seeds.

In the end, the box was empty.

Liu Zhiming bent over, picked up the empty box, and took the lead to enter the house.

While eating, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua discussed, “There’s a big market in Qili village tomorrow. Xiao Xu and I will go and buy some vegetables. You go to the Xu family in front of us and buy a pig. Kill it and bring it back.”

When Liu Guihua heard this, she was a little hesitant, “A pig? Isn’t that too much? We can’t finish it, right?”

The village was small and there weren’t many people. How could they finish eating a pig?

“It’s such a big happy event. No matter what, we have to treat everyone well, and we have to follow the custom. If we can’t finish it, then leave it, we can finish it slowly,” Li Zhiming said with a frown, “We can’t ask for half a pig. If they kill the pig, who will we sell the remaining half to?”

The Xu family in front had a pigsty at the back of the mountain. They raised a lot of pigs.

They were all neighbors. Even if they bought the pig head, he would sell it too!

Liu Guihua nodded, “Oh you, I know, I’ll go in a while and talk to them first.”

Li Miao stood at the side and listened to her parents’conversation. She frowned with some heartache.

It would cost at least two to three hundred Yuan to buy a pig!

How long would it take for their family to earn two to three hundred Yuan?

But seeing her parents so happy, she could not bear to dampen their happiness!

Li Xu naturally understood her sister’s emotions. She reached out to pat Li Miao’s hand and silently comforted her, “Sister is rich!”!

Li Miao forced a smile.

“You don’t have to buy too many vegetables. I have a lot left in my shop. I’ve already brought them back,” Said Li Xu. Before they came, she and Ji Yuanyuan had loaded a lot of vegetables onto the small tricycle.

Eggplants, cucumbers, small canola..

Li zhiming nodded, “Alright, let’s eat first. After we finish eating, go to bed early. We still have to wake up early tomorrow!”

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and gulped down all the porridge in the bowl.

Even if there was a happy occasion at home, the greenhouse at home could not be taken lightly. After dinner, Liu Guihua first went to the Xu family’s house.

The other party agreed quite readily. After all, Li Miao was the first university student in the village. Logically speaking, this was a happy occasion for the entire village.

Not only did they agree to help slaughter the pigs, but they also agreed to a much cheaper price.

After returning from the Xu family’s house, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were about to go to sleep on the ground with a flashlight.

Ji Zi’ang still thought it was a good thing and insisted on following them.

Liu Zhiming had no choice but to bring him along.

He was a kid anyway. Even if he was bitten by a mosquito at night, it wouldn’t be much.

Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua didn’t sleep at home, so the old house has enough room.

The four of them all slept on the heated brick bed.

There wasn’t even a fan in the house. It was very hot. Before going to bed, Li Xu brought a basin of water and placed it in the room.

She wet the handkerchief and after wiping Ji Yuanyuan’s entire body with it, only then did she lie down.
