BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57
When Zhang Kun was young, he had a hot temper. However, after experiencing a lot of things, his hot temper was worn away.
Now that he saw Li Xu being bullied, his hot temper instantly returned.
Seeing that Ji Jianguo was still indifferent, he looked around but didn’t find anything useful.
Suddenly, he remembered the sugarcane he had just bought in the market.
He turned around and took the sugarcane on the ground. He held both ends of the sugarcane with both hands and folded it with his legs. The sugarcane instantly split into two halves.
He held one of the halves and walked towards Ji Jianguo.
Ji Jianguo was startled by him and quickly let go of her hand.
He thought to himself, why is this person like Li Yong? He was so quick to attack and didn’t have any manners at all. One look and one could tell that his education level wasn’t high.
Seeing this, Zhang Kun said to Li Xu, “You go first, if he dares to attack again, I’ll cut him.”
Seeing this, Li Xu exerted strength in her legs and pedaled away.
She knew in her heart that with Ji Jianguo’s cowardly appearance, he definitely wouldn’t dare to attack Zhang Kun.
Seeing this, Ji Jianguo anxiously shouted, “I’ll leave tomorrow, take good care of the children. If you need anything, go find my Big Brother, he can contact me.”
Zhang Kun heard Ji Jianguo’s words and had a rough idea.
The man in front of him was probably Li Xu’s ex-husband, the father of the children.
“You still have the face to look for her?” After Zhang Kun realized Ji Jianguo’s identity, he became even more disgusted with him.
A man like this who abandoned his wife and children and only cared about his own happiness was simply a disgrace to men.
Ji Jianguo saw that Li Xu had gone far away and that Zhang Kun was eyeing him covetously. For a moment, he thought anxiously, could it be that this man and Li Xu had something going on? Otherwise, why would he stand up for Li Xu?
He sized up Zhang Kun from head to toe.
He was not short in height, but his face was average and not as good-looking as him. With one look at his hand, one could tell that he was doing rough jobs. His work was definitely not as good as his previous work.
“Aren’t you leaving yet?” Zhang Kun frowned and raised the sugarcane in his hand.
Seeing this, Ji Jianguo could only leave dejectedly.
Forget it, he was about to leave anyway. Out of sight, out of mind.
It was only past seven when Li Xu returned home, and the children had yet to wake up. She hurriedly packed some vegetables from home and headed downstairs.
However, she had just reached the first floor when she saw Zhang Kun.
Seeing this, he hurriedly took the bamboo basket from Li Xu’s hand, “Is there any more?”
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
“Oh, there’s one more, I’ll go back and get it myself.” Li Xu turned around.
When Li Xu came out of the house again, Zhang Kun had already delivered the bamboo basket from before and came up again.
He didn’t say anything and directly reached out to take the bamboo basket from Li Xu’s hand.
The two of them didn’t say anything until they went downstairs.
The vegetables that Zhang Kun had bought and the two halves of the sugarcane were all on Li Xu’s tricycle. After putting the bamboo basket on the tricycle, Zhang Kun went straight to the front to ride the bike.
“You go sit in the back,” Zhang Kun turned his head and said.
“Forget it, I can walk, this bike is quite heavy...” Li Xu was a little hesitant.
This tricycle was much harder to pedal than a bicycle.
Zhang Kun said, “Just get on, it’s faster than walking.”
Seeing that Zhang Kun insisted, Li Xu hesitated for a moment before sitting on the side of the tricycle.
Seeing this, Zhang Kun pursed his lips slightly. He exerted strength on his legs and the tricycle dashed out.
It was indeed faster than Li Xu walking. Zhang Kun’s strength was much stronger than hers. She could not help but smile.
When they reached the market, Zhang Kun helped to carry the bamboo basket to the stall.
Only then did he leave without saying a word. Li Xu wanted to pack some vegetables for him, but she didn’t have the time.
After Zhang Kun left, Li Xu’s stall quickly became busy. She could only be busy packing the vegetables for the customers first.
After eight o’clock, the second wave of vegetables were sold out again. Li Xu collected the money, stuffed it into her pocket, and prepared to take the bamboo basket home.
The children were probably awake and she had to hurry home to cook for them.
Unexpectedly, Liang Huimei suddenly came over and asked gossipily, “Was that your new man?”
Li Xu’s face immediately turned red, “Sister Liang, what nonsense are you talking about? That man is my brother’s friend. He works in the Government’s Canteen and occasionally buys some vegetables from me. He’s an acquaintance.”
Liang Hui Mei made a weird “Oh” sound and winked, “It’s better if he’s an acquaintance, so you have known each other thoroughly.”
Li Xu said a little frustrated, “Aiya, it really isn’t.”
After saying that, she grabbed the bamboo basket and ran away.
Liang Huimei laughed from behind and shouted at the top of her lungs, “I think you can consider it.”
Li Xu’s footsteps became faster.
The person next to her asked Liang Huimei, “Consider what?”
Liang Huimei threw the melon seeds on the ground, “Hush, what does it have to do with you?”
...
When Li Xu returned home, the children were awake.
The children usually woke up late when they were not going to school.
Li Xu felt sorry for the children and did not want to wake them up.
Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan were whispering to each other in the living room while Ji Zixuan was cooking noodles skillfully in the kitchen.
Li Xu hurried over, “Didn’t I tell you not to go into the kitchen? If you’re hungry in the future, go out and buy some or eat some biscuit to pad your stomach.”
She took the ladle from Ji Zixuan and exhort him in a low voice.
The gas and hot oil in the kitchen were all dangerous things. Moreover, although she was indeed a little tired by herself, she did not want the children to share some of the work.
At their age, they only needed to study hard and be happy.
If other families had it, they would have it too.
Ji Zixuan did not say anything and silently returned to the living room. Ji Yuanyuan was supervising Ji Zi’ang with the practice book. His expression was very serious, and his little face was tightly furrowed.
Ji Yuanyuan was worried. Seeing that Ji Zi’ang’s answers were all wrong, but she could not say anything.
...
After breakfast, Ji Zixuan took Ji Zi’ang to do his homework.
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan came to the space again.
They were too tired yesterday, so they had not planted the vegetables yet.
Li Xu was a diligent person, she could not bear to see the ground empty.
Li Xu turned the ground over and was about to sow the seeds when Ji Yuanyuan suddenly said, “Mommy, wait a minute.”
Li Xu looked over curiously. Ji Yuanyuan stretched out her hand and pulled out the green panel in the space, “Mommy, why don’t we try using the seeds here?”
The panel was very simple. The top right corner showed her experience bar. There was a shopping mall option in the top left corner and a package option in the bottom right corner.
When she clicked into the shopping mall, a lot of categories instantly appeared: seeds, weapons, daily necessities..
When they clicked into the seeds option, they were further divided into several categories: vegetables, fruits, medicinal herbs, flowers..
When they clicked into the vegetables option, there were all kinds of vegetables.
The last time they fiddled with this panel, they discovered that there was a shopping mall in this panel and they could exchange for a lot of things.
