86 Chapter 85, Matters Between The Two of Us
Zhang Kun casually put his apron on the back of the chair, then picked up Ji Yuanyuan and placed him on the chair. He instructed, “The three of you eat first, I’ll go get her.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and reached for her chopsticks.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were also starved. After Zhang Kun finished speaking, they began to eat their noodles noisily.
Ji Zi’ang, this flatterer, praised as he ate, “Uncle Zhang’s food is really delicious. It’s even better than Second Uncle’s.”
Ji Zixuan answered seriously, “Of course. Uncle Zhang is Second Uncle’s master, so his standard is naturally higher than Second Uncle’s.”
Ji Yuanyuan ate her noodles while her thoughts ran wild. When her mother and Uncle Zhang got married in the future, it would be nice to open a luxurious restaurant together.
Uncle Zhang would provide the cooking, and mom would provide the vegetables.
However, there was probably no market in the county, so he had to go to the city.
On the other side, Zhang Kun entered the bedroom. The children outside were chattering, but Zhang Kun could only see Li Xu in his eyes.
She was probably extremely tired. Her hair had been washed and had not been dried before she lay down. At this time, her hair had already wet the pillowcase, and she was sleeping very soundly.
Her hands were placed on her stomach, and there were fine scars on them.
The ear of wheat pricked people, and it was inevitable that her hands would be injured. Zhang Kun could not bear to wake her up, so he went to the bathroom to get a towel and came back. He gently lifted Li Xu’s head, wanting to put a towel under her head.
The towel absorbed water, and it was hot now, so her hair would probably dry up in a while.
However, Li Xu was a light sleeper. The moment Zhang Kun moved her head, she opened her eyes.
At this moment, Li Xu’s face was flushed red and her eyes were filled with confusion. She looked up at Zhang Kun. Although the hair on her head had not dried up, the small hairs around her face had dried up and were sticking to her face.
Although she was already in her thirties and did not pay attention to maintenance, Li Xu’s face was still pretty.
Zhang Kun’s Adam’s apple moved. After a moment, he said in a low voice, “The meal is ready, get up and eat.”
Li Xu finally came back to her senses. She quickly stood up and awkwardly stroked her hair. She said in a low voice, “I’m coming.”
Zhang Kun responded. He carefully put the towel in his hand on her pillow and walked out of the bedroom.
Li Xu’s face turned a little red when she saw the towel.
After looking at it for a while, she stood up and went to the living room.
Zhang Kun’s cooking was indeed delicious. The mother and son pair finished all the food on the dining table. Ji Zi’ang rubbed his stomach and even felt that he had not had enough yet.
“It would be great if Uncle Zhang could cook for us every day,” Ji Zi’ang sighed.
The speaker did not mean what he said, but the listener did.
Zhang Kun subconsciously looked at Li Xu, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Li Xu quickly looked away from Zhang Kun.
She knew what Zhang Kun meant, but now...
There were many things that she had not thought of yet.
If she married Zhang Kun, then the two of them would have to live together. Not to mention whether to live in Zhang Kun’s house or to let Zhang Kun move here directly.
The thing about the Yuanyuan’s space...
If they really lived together, they would definitely not be able to hide it.
Not to mention Zhang Kun, she did not even intend to tell Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang about this matter. She wanted to bring this secret all the way to the coffin.
Seeing Li Xu avoid looking at him, Zhang Kun’s expression was obviously a little disappointed.
However, he quickly got up, cleared away the dishes on the table, and went to the kitchen.
Li Xu instructed the three children, “It’s getting late, hurry up and go to bed.”
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang used a lot of energy today, so they obediently returned to the bedroom.
Although Ji Yuanyuan was not very tired, she knew that Li Xu and Zhang Kun probably had something to talk about.
Therefore, she obediently jumped down from the chair and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
In the living room, Li Xu watched the three children go back to their rooms and close the door. Only then did she go to the kitchen.
Zhang Kun was washing the dishes when he heard her voice. He said in a low voice, “You go to sleep too, I’ll leave after I finish washing the dishes.”
Li Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Let’s talk about the matters between the two of us next year. This year, the family is full of problems.”
After two days of busy harvesting wheat and planting corn in the field, it was time to work on the greenhouse.
Two months later, Xiao Lei should be back. Xiao Lei was already 28 years old this year, and it was time for him to get married. It was better to come back and meet some girls. It was better for the wedding to be held soon.
Once the greenhouse was built, the vegetables could be harvested after the new year. At that time, there would be an excuse for the vegetables to appear out of thin air at home.
“Besides, I haven’t gone to see your parents yet. How about we go back to your house this weekend before I go back home?” Li Xu also knew that she had let Zhang Kun down, so she quickly suggested a remedial measure.
Speaking of which, whenever she thought of meeting the parents, Li Xu was still a little nervous.
She didn’t know if Zhang Kun’s parents could accept her condition.
“Okay, then we’ll do as you say. Come to my house this Saturday and let my parents meet you.” Zhang Kun finished washing the dishes and took a towel to wipe his hands.
He turned around and grabbed Li Xu’s hand very naturally.
“Can your parents really accept me?” Li Xu paused for a moment and asked in a low voice.
“Of course, they will. My parents said that as long as it’s someone I like, they will definitely like it.” Zhang Kun swore.
Hearing the word ‘like’, Li Xu’s face turned a little red, and she didn’t know where to look.
The two of them talked for a while more before Zhang Kun left.
...
Before he left, Li Xu reminded him, “You don’t have to come tomorrow morning. The children are on vacation, so they can help me.”
Zhang Kun didn’t say anything. He just kept urging Li Xu to hurry back.
He originally thought that Zhang Kun would not come the next morning.
Who knew that he would still come early.
With his help, Li Xu naturally did not wake the children up.
Ji Yuanyuan was indeed exhausted last night. She only woke up the next morning when it was past ten o’clock.
When she woke up, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang had not yet woken up, but Li Xu had already returned.
She was cooking in the kitchen, and there were three bottles of milk and a newspaper on the dining table.
Ever since the conditions at home had become more relaxed, Li Xu had ordered milk.
Although there was spiritual spring water, the milk was sweet and fragrant, and the children could drink it as snacks.
Moreover, the children of other families ordered it. There was also competition among the children, and if word got out, the children would not feel good either.
...
Ji Yuanyuan sat on the sofa alone for a while and picked up the newspaper to read out of boredom.
It seemed that they would have to buy a television set when they saved up money.
Although she had watched all the TV dramas in this era in her previous life, she could still kill time by looking at the pictures.
Most of the newspapers were news about entertainment and people’s livelihood. Occasionally, there would be some brain teasers or riddles mixed in between. When Ji Yuanyuan was really bored, she would pick it up and read it.
However, today’s newspaper was a little different.
