BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93
When the vacation was almost over, Li Lei discussed it with his family. He wanted to get the marriage certificate with Liang Yufang, but Liang Yufang’s family did not agree.
No matter what, they had to get engaged first. They would get the marriage certificate after Li Lei returned.
Li Lei didn’t have time to discuss with the two families, so the matter of getting the certificate was put on hold. It was put on hold for three years. During these three years, Li Lei didn’t come back.
“You guys think well. If they get the certificate, what if your Li Lei stays in the army forever? Won’t our Yufang still be a widow?”
“If my Brother can stay in the army forever, he will definitely be promoted. When the time comes, he can just apply to join the army,” Li Miao retorted.
After saying that, she even muttered to himself, “Short-sighted!”
She already did not have a good impression of this family.
She heard that her brother’s performance in the army was pretty good. If it was not for Liang Yufang, he might really be promoted.
When Yufang’s mother heard Li Miao’s words, the corners of her lips curled up in disdain, “You keep bragging, your Brother is the only one who is promoted!”
She smacked her lips and then said, “Li Lei will be back in a month or so anyway. Think carefully about whether what I said makes sense or not.”
After saying that, Yufang’s mother swaggered off.
After Yufang’s mother left, Liu Guihua’s face drooped.
Li Zhiming also picked up the tobacco pipe at the side and started smoking.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the family’s sad faces and felt a little worried.
Yufang’s mother was starting to raise the price from the ground up. In any case, the matter of Eldest Uncle leaving the army was set in stone.
Ji Yuanyuan didn’t know what her Eldest Uncle was thinking. She really couldn’t do anything about them.
What if her Edest Uncle liked this Yufang and have to marry her?
If she messed things up for her, wouldn’t that ruin her Eldest Uncle’s marriage?
The only way now was to delay the marriage. Anyway, her Eldest Uncle would be back in a month or so.
After Her Eldest Uncle returned, she would ask her Eldest Uncle’s opinion before making a decision.
Li Xu also had the same idea. She said in a low voice, “Don’t worry about her for now. If they rushed you, give her a hundred or two hundred first. We’ll talk about it when Xiao Lei comes back.”
It wasn’t that she was unwilling to give up the money.
It was just that Yufang’s mother was acting as if Xiao Lei had taken advantage of them. If she really gave the money to her, Yufang’s mother would definitely feel that she had them in her grasp. There might be other things that would happen in the future. When Xiao Lei and Yufang were married, would they have a good life?
However, when it came to matters of the heart, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. What if Xiao Lei himself was willing?
She could only stall for time and wait for Xiao Lei to come back.
In the afternoon, Li Yong returned.
He had bought a lot of thin-film, so the bicycle would definitely not be able to carry it. The seller had sent him a gasoline-powered tricycle.
After removing the thin film, Li Yong felt that the mood of his family members was not quite right.
“What’s wrong?” Li Yong asked suspiciously. “Why are all of them like eggplants that have been frosted?”
However, no one answered his question.
Li Yong could only look at Ji Zi’ang, “What happened?”
Ji Zi’ang opened his mouth and was about to speak. Li Xu stood up from the ground, “Nothing much, it’s just that Yufang’s mother came over to discuss your Big Brother’s marriage. After settling the accounts, we’re a little pressure.”
So that was the case. Li Yong did not think too much about it and said, “I still have some money in my hands. Big Brother should have quite a lot of discharge fees when he comes back. It’s definitely enough to get married.”
Li Xu was afraid that Li Yong would be impulsive and do something that would cause irreparable consequences, so she did not tell him.
The others naturally thought the same, so they definitely would not let the cat out of the bag.
Ji Yuanyuan was afraid that Ji Zi’ang would let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly dragged Ji Zi’ang to the ground and instructed, “Second Brother, don’t tell Second Uncle about what happened just now, okay?”
Ji Zi’ang hurriedly nodded his head, “Got it,, I definitely won’t tell Second Uncle, don’t worry.”
Ji Yuanyuan was still a little worried and asked suspiciously, “You really won’t tell?”
Ji Zi’ang nodded his head vigorously, “I’m really not going to tell you!”
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and added, “If you tell him, you’ll be harming Second Uncle. In any case, you can consider it yourself.”
After saying this, she returned to Li Xu’s side.
The Li family of five was measuring the length of the thin film. Although the thin film had been bought, the weather was still hot, so it was not needed yet. After checking, the length was just right. If it was not damaged, they could put the film away first and then install it when the weather was colder in autumn.
A few of them pulled the film and measured it. The length was just right, and there was even an extra piece. This shop was quite helpful.
After measuring it, they folded the film and put it on Li Xu’s small tricycle. Li Yong measured it twice before transporting the film back home.
Two acres of land had been built with two large greenhouses. It was so long that one could not see the end of it.
Standing on the ground, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the long greenhouse and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.
The Li family’s good days were coming soon.
In the evening, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua moved to the small wooden house in the area. They found two wooden boards, a few benches under them, and a simple bed. They spread out the mattress, put on a mosquito net, and lit a kerosene lamp.
A small stove was set up with bricks outside. They could drink water at any time.
The conditions were quite good!
Li Yong left early the next morning. He had applied for four days of leave in a row. How much would his salary be deducted?
Li Xu didn’t go with him. Ji Yuanyuan and she went to the space to exchange for a lot of seeds when no one was around.
...
It was July now, suitable for growing cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants.
Li Xu gave the exchanged seeds to Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming. She had already thought about how to grow these few mu of land.
There was a total of seven and a half mu of land in the house, and now it was all empty. In the beginning, she naturally couldn’t invest too much. If she encountered any extreme weather, it would be no harvest at all.
Therefore, what Li Xu wanted to do was to divide the seven and a half mu of land into three parts.
The greenhouse had a total of two mu. If they planted half with tomatoes and the other half with the eggplant now, the eggplant would ripen in two months. At that time, they would harvest the crop and continue planting.
The time for the tomatoes to ripen was twice that of the eggplant. The time for planting two crops of eggplant was just enough to harvest a crop of tomatoes. When it was late October and the weather was getting colder, they would cover the greenhouse with a thin film so as not to delay their growth.
The remaining five and a half mu of land was divided into two parts. Three and a half mu were used for corn and two mu were used for cucumbers. The corn and cucumbers would ripen at the end of October. When the time came, they would be harvested together.
At that time, the weather would also be cold. These five Mu of land would not be used for anything else. They would all be used for winter wheat.
Listening to Li Xu’s arrangement of these few Mu of land, Liu Guihua’s face revealed a smile.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say!”
Ji Yuanyuan sat quietly at the side, blinking her big eyes and looking at Li Xu with some admiration.
...
Her mother was born to be a boss, she was very clear-headed.
