Chapter 611 - 611: Back to My Home
Fortunately, Qin Junshan and the others had not returned even after the two of them left.
In the car, Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
After the car left, Qin Junshan dared to come out of his room.
As soon as he came out, he impatiently instructed Auntie Wu, “Quick, bring some food first. I’m starving.”
He was afraid he would feel uncomfortable around Yuanyuan and Mucheng, so he lied about going fishing.
They thought that the two of them would be able to leave soon. After all, young people loved shopping and did not like staying at home.
Who knew that the two of them would stay in the room upstairs for so long?
He hid in his room and was starving to death.
Aunt Wu smiled and quickly served Qin Junshan dinner.
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng went to eat before returning to the apartment.
The first thing she did when she returned to the apartment was to put the bedsheets into the washing machine.
After washing the bedsheets, the two of them lay on the sofa like conjoined twins.
“By the way, has Li Xirui been discharged?” Ji Yuanyuan suddenly thought of this matter and asked curiously.
Ever since she went to the hospital to see Li Xirui, she did not pay much attention to the news.
Li Xirui’s matter had always been handled by someone specially assigned to it. No matter what the Li family requested, Secretary Zhong would handle it. Therefore, Li Xirui had never taken the initiative to look for Ji Yuanyuan or Qin Mucheng.
“I heard from my dad that he was discharged from the hospital two days ago.” Qin Mucheng said softly. “Secretary Zhong sent another card over and had already scheduled Li Xirui’s next surgery.”
“Oh, that’s good.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
“Don’t worry about Hu Hao. My dad’s lawyer is following up on this matter.”
Qin Mucheng continued.
“I’m definitely not worried. Hu Hao is not a threat to me.” Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
If Li Xirui had not shouted first and attracted her attention that day, she might have noticed Hu Hao.
As long as she could find Hu Hao, she would definitely be able to dodge. However, it had been so long since the incident, and it was futile to say anything.
“Yes, no matter what, you have to be careful during classes. If I have time, I’ll pick you up.”
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly stopped him, “Forget it. Big Brother also said he would pick me up every day. Am I that delicate?”
“Of course, you’re delicate.” Qin Mucheng laughed.
“I’ll get my mother to start preparing for our engagement when we get back tonight,” he said softly after a pause.
“Alright.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded readily.
“Then, are we still going to learn how to drive?” Qin Mucheng asked again.
Ji Yuanyuan thought of the driving lesson that day and could not help but laugh, “Of course I’m learning. Come and pick me up this weekend and continue learning how to drive.”
Qin Mucheng hesitated for a moment but still agreed resolutely, “Alright, the weekend it is then.”
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t mix up the accelerator and brake this time.” Ji Yuanyuan said while holding back her laughter.
Qin Mucheng couldn’t help but laugh when he heard the words.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun did not return to their hometown for the New Year last year. In addition, Zhang Kun had an operation this year, so the elderly at home were very concerned.
Therefore, the family decided to go home for the New Year this year.
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, after the children were on vacation, Ji Zixuan drove the family back to their hometown.
It had been a long time since anyone had lived in the house in City W. The house was covered in dust.
The family cleaned for more than an hour before they could barely move their feet.
After all, they had lived here for many years, so everyone slept soundly at night.
The next day was the New Year. Early in the morning, Li Xu brought her entire family back to her maiden home.
It was not easy for them to come back. Li Xu and Zhang Kun discussed that they would spend the New Year at Li Xu’s parents’ home and New Year’s eve at Zhang Kun’s parents’ home.
The car had just driven out of S City. The road to the village was almost covered in greenhouses. It was a vast expanse of whiteness.
“In the past few years, the surrounding villages have all started to plant greenhouses. The vegetables here are famous far and near, and the villagers’ lives are better.” Li Xu sighed.
When they came back a few years ago, the villages on the road were all tiny houses, most of which were red brick houses, and some were adobe houses.
On the way back, the roads were replaced with tall, bright cement brick houses. There were even a few two-story bungalows.
Soon, they returned to the Li Family’s village.
The house that Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were living in had also been changed to a bright, big house.
The courtyard was flat and paved with cement.
A few children were chasing and playing in the courtyard.
The adults were all busy in the kitchen.
Seeing Li Xu’s family come over, Li Lei and Li Yong quickly came out to welcome them.
“Brother-in-law, how are you feeling? Is your recovery going well? Stay at home for two more days this time. I’ll make you something delicious to nourish yourself.”
“Sister, Brother-in-law.”
The two brothers were still the same as before. One had a glib tongue, and the other was like a mute.
The three children gathered around Ji Yuanyuan, “Big Sister.”
“Sister, you’ve grown prettier again.”
“Sister, I scored three hundred points in the final exam.”
Ji Yuanyuan squatted down and started playing with the three children.
Li Lei and his brother escorted Li Xu and Zhang Kun back to the house.
Only Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were left alone.
Ji Zi’ang said sourly, “Big Brother, why does it seem like the two of us aren’t very popular?”
The children were looking for their sister, and the adults were looking for their parents. Why was no one looking after them?
Ji Zixuan glanced at him and whispered, “Do you need eight people to carry a palanquin to pick you up when you’re going back to your own home?”
With that, he carried his things and entered the house.
Ji Zi’ang stood where he was, looking a little embarrassed.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming quickly grabbed his hand, “Zixuan, you seem to have grown taller again.”
Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang quickly chased after him.
When Liu Guihua saw him, she also looked at him carefully for a while and said, “Zi’ang seems to have lost weight too.”
“You always look at people and say they lose weight.” Li Yong complained.
Even though the entire family knew about Ji Zi’ang’s background.
However, everyone’s attitude towards him was still the same as before. No one treated him as an outsider.
Feeling the atmosphere, Ji Zi’ang naturally felt better.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Yong wanted to take Li Xu to the shed for a walk.
Li Xu hadn’t been back for a long time. She didn’t know many things about the shed.
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang were also interested and followed along.
Ji Zixuan stayed at home and chatted with Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming.
The road up the mountain was now a cement road. Li Yong drove the car all the way to the entrance of the farmhouse.
The farmhouse had also been renovated. It was still antique, but it was much more Westernized than before.
Li Yong hired a chef and a few waiters. Now, he basically didn’t need to care about them. He just needed to wait for the money to be collected..
