66 Chapter 65, Do You Like My Sister
She was not satisfied with this small amount of money.
Her initial idea was to build a high-end brand.
She would only sell high-quality vegetables, and the vegetables would not last overnight. The target group was the rich elites.
Although this idea was only preliminary and there was no concrete plan, Ji Yuanyuan felt that this idea was feasible.
In the 21st century, there were many successful cases.
Of course, Ji Yuanyuan was still a poor person. It would still be many years before this plan could be realized.
However, Ji Yuanyuan was not in a hurry. She was still young anyway.
The next day, Li Xu and Li Yong started to tidy up the yard at home.
Li Yong went to buy a large piece of plastic film and found the bamboo poles used for growing vegetables in the summer. Li Xu found the wire and pincers at home.
The two of them started to work on the shed in the yard. Ji Zi’ang was also eager to help.
It took a whole day to finish the small shed.
Li Xu and Li Yong should go back to the city before it got dark.
It was already past six o’clock in the evening when they returned to the residential area.
Li Yong stayed for dinner. After dinner, he stayed at home and planned to leave the next morning.
Of course, Li Yong stayed behind because he had his plans.
…
Early the next morning, Li Yong got up. He packed his things and left. Before he left, he deliberately made some noise.
However, Li Yong went downstairs but didn’t leave. Instead, he found a corner and hid.
He just wanted to see how his sister and Master were now.
However, Li Yong waited until seven o’clock, but Zhang Kun did not appear.
On the contrary, Li Xu carried the baskets downstairs by herself.
The box was filled with heavy things like cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes, so it was somewhat strenuous for her to carry it.
When she carried the bamboo basket to the tricycle, she even used her knee to push it.
Li Yong looked at it and felt some heartache. Just as he was about to go forward, he remembered that he was peeking. Wouldn’t he be exposed if he went out now?
He could only watch helplessly as Li Xu laboriously placed the other bamboo basket on the tricycle before leaving.
On the way to the restaurant, Li Yong was a little distracted.
What was going on? Could it be a coincidence?
But if it was a coincidence, why did Li Xu wake up early that day? She was still waiting for Zhang Kun downstairs?
This meant that she had known that Zhang Kun would come in the morning. She had woken up early to go down and intercept Zhang Kun so that the two of them would not run into each other.
Li Yong had been thinking about this all the way and had almost hit someone.
For the sake of his big sister, Li Yong had almost broken his heart.
…
The restaurant closed late at night. Usually, there would be fewer customers after eight o’clock or so. Li Yong had something to do today, so he specially asked the head chef to leave.
At six o’clock, after preparing the vegetables, Li Yong changed his clothes and left work.
He rode his bicycle and arrived outside Zhang Kun’s work unit.
Zhang Kun work at a government unit. As long as the employees finished eating, he could pack up and get off work.
The employees all got off work at 5:30, and Zhang Kun could get off work at 6:30 at the latest.
When Li Yong arrived, it was only about 6:20. After waiting for less than five minutes, Zhang Kun came out. When he saw Li Yong, Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Why are you here?”
Li Yong smiled and said, “Master, I haven’t eaten yet, please treat me to a meal.”
Zhang Kun waved his hand and said, “Sure, what do you want to eat?”
“Anything is fine, let’s have a drink.”
Zhang Kun brought Li Yong to a small restaurant nearby and ordered two dishes, a plate of peanuts, a plate of mixed cucumbers, and a bottle of sorghum liquor.
Li Yong opened the alcohol and poured a glass for Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun had already eaten, but he still eat a few mouthfuls with Li Yong.
Li Yong’s alcohol tolerance was not good. After a glass of wine, his face turned red.
“Master, I saw you that day.” Li Yong raised his head and looked at Zhang Kun with bright eyes.
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment and felt a little strange, “Which day?”
“Last Saturday, I stayed at my Sister’s house. That morning, my Sister deliberately went out early to avoid me, but I still found out.”
After Li Yong finished speaking, Zhang Kun fell into silence. He lowered his head and looked at the wine cup in front of him. The expression on his face was somewhat unfathomable.
Li Yong had been Zhang Kun’s apprentice for a few years, so he knew this master very well.
He was a good person, but after that incident, he became quiet. He didn’t like to talk, and he wouldn’t talk about it.
Seeing that Zhang Kun didn’t speak, Li Yong couldn’t help but ask straightforwardly, “Do you like my Sister?”
Zhang Kun’s eyebrows jumped, and his hand on the table trembled.
Seeing that Zhang Kun still didn’t speak, Li Yong smiled, “If you don’t speak, it means that you agree.”
Zhang Kun looked up at Li Yong in confusion.
Did he like her? He did not know whether he liked her or not. In the beginning, he knew that Li Xu was Li Yong’s sister and that she was raising the children by herself, so he could not help but take a little interest in her.
Later on, he did not know why, but whenever he saw Li Xu and the children, he felt his heart fill up.
That kind of warmth was what he had been longing for these past few years.
“Do you dislike my Sister for bringing three children with her?” Li Yong asked again. He had been thinking about this matter all day.
After thinking about it for a long time, he could only come up with one reason.
His sister was good in every aspect. She was hardworking and beautiful. She had a high school diploma and could also be considered cultured. Although the three children were all outstanding and sensible, they were treasures in the eyes of their relatives, not burdens.
But in the eyes of others, it might be a burden.
“If that’s the reason, you don’t have to worry. I will help my Sister. You don’t have to worry about my nephew’s future wife.”
Li Yong’s expression was very serious, but Zhang Kun could not help but laugh.
“You’re already talking about your nephew getting a wife. You should think about your marriage first. You’re already twenty-five or twenty-six, when do you plan to get a wife?”
Li Yong was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little awkward.
After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned a little red.
“I’ve never thought of it that way. You know that I like children very much,” Zhang Kun sighed and said in a low voice.
He had never felt that the three children were a burden. On the contrary, he liked them very much. The three children were all sensible, especially Yuanyuan.
Every time he looked at Yuanyuan, he always felt that he saw the shadow of his daughter.
“Then what is it? Are you embarrassed?” Li Yong was a little anxious, “Master, you are a good person, I really think that you and my sister are quite a good match.”
Li Yong naturally had his own selfish motives.
Zhang Kun did not have children, and his salary was not low. He was also a decent-looking person. Over the years, there had been many people who had introduced him to people. There were even people who had introduced him to young ladies who had never married, but he had never been tempted.
Not only was Zhang Kun well-off, but his temperament was also good. If he truly gets together with his sister in the future, he would treat her three children as his own.
After working with Zhang Kun for so many years, he still had this understanding.
