Chapter 15 It’s good to have money

Li Yong saw that Ji Yuanyuan was wearing the vest just right, so he stood up and said, "Okay, you guys should finish your meal and rest. I'll go back first."

"By the way, what did you mean when you said Xiao Lei was coming back soon?" Li Xu suddenly thought of what Li Yong said just now when facing Ji Jianguo.

Xiao Lei is Li Lei, the eldest son of the Li family, who has been serving as a soldier outside these years.

"I came back this time because I received a letter from my eldest brother." Li Yong said in a low voice, "My parents and I just read it at home. My eldest brother has decided to return from the army in September next year."

Li Lei joined the army when he was 20 years old, and this year is his seventh year.

"Have you decided? You worked hard to go there. What now..." Li Xu asked a little strangely.

Li Lei has had a dream of being a soldier since he was a child. He has always wanted to join the army since he was 18 years old. However, when he was drafted when he was 18 years old, his weight was not qualified and he was dismissed. The next year, he passed all the indicators.

As he was about to enlist in the army, he broke his leg. In the third year, he finally enlisted safely.

Over the years, he has performed very well in the army. Li Xu thought he would continue to stay in the army, but who knew he would have the idea of ​​retiring.

Hearing this, Li Yong sighed softly, "His partner can't wait any longer, and my eldest brother said that if I retire from the army, the army will give me a large recovery fee. With the money for the wedding, I can still have some left to do some small business."

When Li Lei went home to visit relatives the year before last, his parents arranged a blind date.

The woman is from the next village. They got engaged that year. It would have been easier to get married in a year or two.

As a result, starting from this year, he changed his tone and said that as long as Li Lei didn't come back, the marriage would not be concluded.

Li Xu thought of this and sighed helplessly: "Let him go. It's his own choice. Just don't regret it in the future."

With that said, Li Xu got up and took a box of peach cakes given by Qin Xiaomin in the morning, as well as some meat and vegetables bought in the city today, "Take these back and give them to your parents."

Li Yong thought for a while and realized that this was his sister's filial piety, so he did not refuse and went back with his things.

Ji Yuanyuan was in the back room and listened clearly to what Li Xu and Li Yong said.

It’s all caused by lack of money!

The eldest uncle and the second uncle are not married yet, and the aunt is still in school. Now that their family of four is living back, the pressure on the grandparents must be great.

The top priority now is to make money, but how can we make money?

Ji Yuanyuan sighed.

How can we make full use of the space? She has a golden finger but can't use it. It's really a waste of money.

Li Yong came over early the next morning and brought some food. "My parents asked me to bring them here. They have gone to the fields. The potatoes have been harvested and it's time to plant wheat."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Where's the axe? I'll chop the firewood for you, and here's the water. I'll fill the tank for you later."

Li Xu was naturally very rude when he used his younger brother. He immediately found an ax and handed it to Li Yong.

Li Yong was immersed in his work, while Li Xu was washing clothes next to him.

There was no washing machine, so the clothes had to be washed by hand. Li Xu's hands were red from rubbing them.

"One more thing, the household registration matter is a bit difficult to handle." Li Yong suddenly said, "Your suggestion is already in our household registration book, but Zixuan and Ziang's are a bit difficult to handle."

The two children's household registrations are with Ji Jianguo. It is not that easy to move out.

Li Xu also knew that this was difficult to handle, but what about the schooling problem for the two children?

"How about we let them go to their previous school? In the worst case, I will just pick them up and drop them off every day." Li Xu said in a low voice.

Li Yong was chopping firewood and sighed: "If only I had money, I could buy a house in the city. As long as Ji Jianguo agrees, my household registration can be transferred to the city."

Yes, it would be nice to have money!

Li Xu's expression was a little gloomy.

Ji Yuanyuan sat next to him, resting his chin on his hands, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Suddenly, the door to the courtyard was opened, and a familiar figure stood at the door: "Sister Li."

Qin Xiaomin stood at the door and shouted with a smile.

Li Yong was chopping wood when he heard the sound and looked up.

I saw a young girl standing at the door, with fair skin, graceful figure and picturesque eyebrows.

Li Yong was stunned for a moment.

Qin Xiaomin entered the door, and several more people came in one after another.

A middle-aged couple, a child, and finally an old man on crutches.

These people are all dressed very fashionably, and you can tell at a glance that they are not country people.

The middle-aged couple also carried a lot of things in their hands.

Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew this middle-aged couple.

These were her father-in-law Qin Haowen and her mother-in-law Cheng Shuqin in her previous life. The couple had a very good relationship, as Qin Mucheng's name is testimony to it.

Qin Mucheng and Qin Haowen admire Cheng Shuqin.

However, Qin Haowen passed away shortly after Ji Yuanyuan entered the house. From then on, Cheng Shuqin became a monk and never paid attention to human affairs again.

As for the old man walking at the end, although Ji Yuanyuan had never met him, he had seen his photo.

He is Qin Mucheng's grandfather, Qin Junshan. The old man spent his whole life in the army and died several years before Ji Yuanyuan entered the family.

Now seeing these living people again, Ji Yuanyuan felt hot in his chest.

Li Xu was a little stunned when she saw so many people. She stood up and wiped her hands on her apron. She was a little at a loss: "This is..."

Qin Xiaomin quickly said: "These are Mu Cheng's parents and grandfather. They came all night from City B. Thank you for saving Mu Cheng."

Li Xu smiled awkwardly: "It's just a little effort. Come inside, it's cold outside..."

She said quickly and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Yong came to his senses and said quickly: "I'm going to buy some tea and make some tea."

As he was about to walk out, Qin Haowen stepped forward and stopped him: "Brother, please don't be so polite. We won't drink tea. Let's come in and talk together."

Li Yong was pulled by him and could only follow him into the house.

The small room was filled with so many people in an instant.

Although this house is new, Li Xu has just moved in and there is not even a place to sit.

Qin Mucheng had no choice but to support the old man and sit on the kang.

The old man touched the warm kang and said with a smile: "Speaking of it, I really miss it. When I was working here, I also slept on the kang."

Qin Haowen explained: "My father stayed here for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as his second hometown."

Li Xu was a womanizer and not good at words, so she could only smile and nod.

Ji Ziang, who was studying in the next room, heard the sound and ran out. When he saw so many gift boxes in the room, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Qin Haowen's sharp eyes saw Ji Zi'ang at once: "Children, come to uncle!"
