122 Chapter 121, Want To Resign
Ji Yuanyuan heard this and quickly put in a good word for Li Yong, “He came not long after you guys left. Second Uncle is really diligent. Not only did he wash the dishes and mop the floor, but even the dining table and coffee table were also wiped clean.”
As she spoke, Ji Yuanyuan’s small hand even touched the coffee table. She then showed it to Li Xu, “Mommy, look, it’s so clean!”
Li Yong was carrying the bicycle in. When he heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, he could not help but give her an appreciative look.
Li Xu’s lips twitched without saying a word.
Ji Yuanyuan gave Li Yong a look, ‘I can’t do anything more, your turn!’
Li Yong hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, “Yuanyuan, what do you want to eat tonight? Second Uncle will make it for you!”
Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, Ji Zi’ang ran over first, “Second Uncle, Second Uncle, can you make sweet and sour pork ribs? I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!”
“Li Yong, come with me. I have something to say to you!” As Li Xu spoke, she stood up and went into her bedroom.
What was supposed to come would still come. He only hoped that Big Sis would not scold him for being so attentive just now!
Li Yong ignored Ji Zi’ang. He lowered his head and followed Li Xu into the bedroom.
Ji Zi’ang rubbed his head and mumbled awkwardly, “Why are you ignoring me? Can I eat it?”
Zhang Kun looked at him and thought it was funny.
“Yes, you can!” He took the bike keys, “Let’s go buy some meat!”
Ji Zi’ang was happy again and immediately went to change his clothes and shoes.
In the bedroom, Li Yong stood behind the door with his head lowered, waiting to be scolded.
However, after waiting for a long time, Li Xu did not say anything.
He looked up in surprise and saw Li Xu looking at him. However, he could not understand her gaze.
It was as if he had seen the future through the current him.
“Do you like Qin Xiaomin?” Seeing Li Yong looking at her, Li Xu snapped back to her senses and asked.
Her tone sounds very exhausted.
Li Yong didn’t speak for a long time. He scratched his nails uneasily.
Yes, he did like Qin Xiaomin. However, when he was facing Li Xu, he didn’t know why he couldn’t say these words.
After all, he was her younger brother. Li Xu understood him. From his actions, she already knew the answer.
“I don’t want to interfere with your feelings, nor do I look down on you. But Xiao Yong, can you give Qin Xiaomin a future?” Li Xu rubbed her head, she was thinking about what to say so as not to hurt Li Yong’s self-esteem.
“You’ve been to Qin Xiaomin’s house. You should know, that Qin Xiaomin’s living standard since young is much higher than ours.” Although Li Xu hadn’t been there, from the children’s descriptions, she could imagine how good Qin Xiaomin’s house was.
A single-story villa, mahogany furniture, and high-end furniture...
Actually, she didn’t need to think to know. Qin Xiaomin’s father was the chief of the Railway Bureau!
At that time, Ji Jianguo was only a low-level employee of the Railway Bureau. In the eyes of the villagers, it was a job that only their ancestors could find after burning incense.
“Even if Qin Xiaomin is willing to suffer with you, what about her parents? Sometimes, it’s not enough to just have feelings and be good to her,” Li Xu said in a low voice, “When that time comes, I’m afraid that you will be hurt.”
“Sister, although I haven’t had a girlfriend before, I’ve been in contact with a lot of them,” Li Yong finally spoke after a moment.
The people around him had also been introduced to him before.
Tall, short, fat, and thin, he had also gone on a few blind dates!
“But I’m not happy to see them at all. Xiaomin is different. As long as I see her, I’m happy. When I don’t see her, I want to see her even in my dreams,” Li Yong said in a low voice, “I know I can’t give her a better life than the one she has now, but I can’t control myself!”
Looking at Li Yong’s expression, how could Li Xu not feel sorry for him?
“Sis, don’t worry, I’ll listen to you.” Li Yong sniffed and explained, “Today was really a coincidence, we met on the road, so we went over together...”
Li Xu looked at her brother’s expression and came to a sudden realization.
“Sis, I want to resign!” Suddenly, Li Yong said.
Li Xu was stunned, “Resign?”
“Yes, I told you before that the restaurant is not doing well now. The salary was supposed to be paid on the 20th of every month, but it has been delayed until now...”
“It hasn’t been paid yet?” Li Xu asked in surprise, “It has been delayed for half a month, why hasn’t it been paid yet?”
“The Boss said that the money is not enough, and he has already fired several people. I am diligent and have good skills, so I was kept here. However, I feel that if this continues, I will be fired sooner or later, Isn’t there a financial crisis now? I reckon that this restaurant won’t be able to hold up much longer!” Li Yong said in a low voice.
“Because of the financial crisis, if you resign now, where are you going to find a job? Even my business of selling vegetables has been affected, what else can you do?” Li Xu’s brows were tightly knitted, “You are about to turn 26 after your birthday. You’re not young anymore!”
“Sister, what do you think...” Li Yong was a little hesitant, “How about I go home and grow the greenhouse’s vegetables with our parents?”
Li Xu did not agree, “We’ve finally gotten out of the farming lives. How can you go back? Our parents won’t agree either.”
“I’ve worked in this restaurant all my life and I’m only a chef. A month’s salary is only 300 Yuan. There’s no problem with food and clothing, but... if we plant the land well, it won’t be less than what I earn now. Besides, our family has more than seven Mu of land. With so many vegetables planted this year, I’m afraid the two of them won’t be able to handle it.”
What Li Yong said made sense.
“You’re already so old. You can make your own decisions. If you’ve thought it through, I won’t stop you!” Li Xu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Yong heaved a sigh of relief and rolled up his sleeves, “Then, Sister, do you have anything else to say? If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and cook!”
Li Xu shook her head and walked out of the bedroom.
After she went out, she realized that Ji Yuanyuan was the only one left in the house.
“Where are they?” Li Yong asked curiously.
“Second Brother wants to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. Uncle Zhang brought him out to buy pork ribs,” Ji Yuanyuan explained.
Li Yong went to the kitchen in a bad mood, “Your second Brother is so greedy, why would he want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!”
...
With Zhang Kun around, Ji Zi’ang still ate the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs as he wished.
The next morning, Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu got up early as usual to make soup.
At around nine o’clock, Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang packed their homework and brought Ji Yuanyuan to the Qin Residence.
Qin Junshan’s chauffeur came to pick them up.
After all, they were still three children, and Qin Junshan was afraid that something might happen along the way.
The old and the young got along very well.
At Qin Junshan’s place, the three children stayed until dinner was over before they left.
The chauffeur sent them to the entrance of Li Xu’s vegetable store and watched them enter before he left.
When Ji Yuanyuan entered the shop, he saw an unexpected person, Ji Jianguo!
She frowned subconsciously. Why is Ji Jianguo here?
