BXBX NOVEL Chapter 213 - 213 Chapter 212, Going Back To My House?
A part of it was neatly stacked in the small warehouse, while the other part was placed against the wall in the chase room outside.
After unpacking, the three of them were sweating profusely.
Li Xu settled the bill and gave the driver two bottles of water. She said politely, “Big Brother, why don’t you rest for a while before you leave?”
!!
The driver waved his hand. “No, no, my wife and children are still waiting for me to go home!”
Li Xu was also very tired. Seeing this, she did not stay.
After the driver left, Li Xu sat at the cashier counter and took big gulps of water.
“Are you tired?” Zhang Kun went forward and massaged Li Xu’s arm.
Li Xu shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m not very tired.”
Zhang Kun shook his head helplessly and carefully massaged her.
“Oh right, the landlord contacted me. He said that he wants to sell this store. His family is short of money,” Li Xu said in a low voice. “If I want it, he will consider me first. The price is also quite low. I want to buy it!”
After all, this was also where she made her fortune.
“Now? Aren’t we a little short of money now? Can we discuss it with the landlord and talk about it next year?” Zhang Kun asked in a low voice.
He had just bought a house, so he had spent all the money he had on hand. He didn’t save much from these two months’ salary. If Li Xu wanted to buy it, he really couldn’t help much now.
“It’s okay. I still have enough money here!” Li Xu said in a low voice. “And the lease period is not up yet. If the landlord were not in a hurry to get money, he wouldn’t have discussed with me about selling it now.”
This store was about 50 square meters. The price offered by the landlord could be considered quite sincere.
20,000 Yuan. It added up to 400 Yuan per square meter.
Even at this time, this price was considered cheap.
If the landlord wasn’t in a hurry to get money and wanted to find a buyer who could offer 20,000 Yuan at one go, he probably wouldn’t offer such a low price.
There will be no such opportunity if you miss it now.
Li Xu was very tempted and almost paid the deposit on the spot.
However, she was now married to Zhang Kun. No matter what happened, she had to discuss it with Zhang Kun.
Although Zhang Kun was a little surprised to hear Li Xu say that she had money, he still nodded and said, “Since you have money and this opportunity is hard to come by, then buy it. This store is also an investment. You won’t make a loss.”
Seeing that Zhang Kun agreed, Li Xu nodded happily. “Then tomorrow, I’ll ask the landlord to come over. Let’s settle the matter.”
Zhang Kun continued to pinch her for a while before patting Li Xu’s shoulder. “Alright, let’s go home.”
On the way back, Li Xu thought of another matter. “Oh right, you can call father and mother and discuss with them tomorrow. We’ll go home on the 28th of the Lunar New Year. I want to open the store for two more days. Business is at its best before the Lunar New Year so that I can stay for two more days after the Lunar New Year.”
Since Li Xu asked Zhang Kun to make the call, the parents that Li Xu was talking about must be Zhang Kun’s parents.
“Are you going back to my house for the Lunar New Year this year?” Zhang Kun asked with some uncertainty.
“Of course. We’ve both received our certificates. Where will we spend the Lunar New Year if we’re not going to your parents house?” Li Xu said as if it was a matter of course.
This was something Zhang Kun had not expected.
After all, in this family, he was outnumbered and did not have much say.
However, he had not expected that Li Xu would actually take the initiative to go to his house to spend the new year.
“Okay, then I’ll tell my parents. We’ll go back later.” Zhang Kun nodded a little excitedly.
The corner of Li Xu’s eyes caught a glimpse of Zhang Kun’s expression, and the corner of her lips could not help but rise.
Zhang Kun had many advantages, and being content was one of them.
Just like now, he was supposed to go to his house for the New Year. However, he didn’t take it for granted. He was still so happy when she suggested going to his place for the New Year.
Once people were content, their lives wouldn’t be too bad.
Thinking of this, Li Xu held Zhang Kun’s hand tightly. “When is your unit on vacation? We can go buy some things to bring back.”
“The unit hasn’t said yet, but according to the usual practice in previous years, it should be around the New Year.”
…
Early the following day, before Zhang Kun went to work, he helped Li Xu put a few baskets of tomatoes at the door.
In the morning, four or five baskets of tomatoes were put down.
Seeing that Li Xu was extremely busy, Ji Yuanyuan gave Qin Mucheng a call.
“Brother Mucheng, I won’t go there today. My Mom’s shop is too busy. I want to watch the shop with my Mom,” Ji Yuanyuan explained earnestly, “If I’m not busy tomorrow, I’ll look for you.”
However, after Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Qin Mucheng said, “It’s okay. I’ll ask Uncle Gong to send me to you later. I’ll help Auntie too!”
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said tactfully, “Then you can talk about it with Grandpa Qin.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mucheng looked at Qin Junshan beside him.
Before he could say anything, Qin Junshan already understood what his grandson wanted to say.
Wasn’t he just in a hurry to look for his granddaughter-in-law?
He waved his hand and pretended to be very impatient. “Hurry up and go. Don’t torment my old bones at home.”
Qin Mucheng smiled and said, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
With that, he ran to find Gong Wenbai.
His impatient look made Qin Junshan sigh helplessly.
After confirming with Qin Junshan, Gong Wenbai drove Qin Mucheng to Li Xu’s shop.
...
When Qin Mucheng came over, Ji Zixuan was outside with Ji Zi’ang, helping customers fill bags with tomatoes, while Ji Yuanyuan was collecting money behind the cash register.
Her expression was very serious as she counted the money with her tiny hands while mumbling to herself.
A moment later, she put the money into the cabinet and took out a few coins from it. She placed them in the customer’s hands and smiled sweetly. “Thank you for your patronage. Please come again!”
On the other hand, Li Xu was in charge of weighing the dishes and counting the money. There was a calculator beside her hand.
The mother and daughter worked very well together.
After sending off a customer, Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked outside.
Only then did she see Qin Mucheng and Gong Wenbai standing across the road.
She smiled again and waved at Qin Mucheng.
There weren’t so many customers in the shop now. Ji Yuanyuan was busy here for a long time, and Li Xu’s heart ached.
She hurriedly said, “Alright, I’ll be fine here alone. You go out and play with Brother Mucheng.”
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it seriously and felt that what Li Xu said made sense.
...
Since there weren’t many people in the shop right now, she went out to accompany Qin Mucheng for a while.
When there were more people in the shop, she would come back to help.
She went to the bathroom to wash her hands and ran outside to meet Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng was already helping the customers with the tomatoes in front. He was very meticulous in doing things, and placed every tomato gently.
