Chapter 298: Can Be Considered

“Leave the name Li Mao for Little Yong’s daughter. No one is allowed to snatch it from him!” Li Xu said unhappily.
“That won’t do. Not even my wife is allowed to agree!” Li Yong immediately retorted.
Li Yong’s answer was too fast. Li Xu looked at him and frowned. She felt that something was wrong.
“Eldest Uncle, you can also call her Li Xiang!” Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan casually helped Li Yong out.
“Li Xiang?” Li Lei repeated the name.
He and Meng Xiaoning looked at each other and said, “That’s a good name. We can consider it.”
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect his Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt would actually take her casual words seriously.
“I was just joking, Eldest Uncle,” she quickly said, embarrassed.
Of course, they had to let the parents come up with names.
What was she doing?
“It’s not bad. Let me discuss it with your Eldest Aunt.” Li Lei said with a smile.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the child on the brick bed and said nothing.
Suddenly, the little girl’s face turned serious, and she started crying again after a moment.
Li Lei quickly went up to check when he heard the sound.
He lifted the diaper and saw that she had peed.
Li Lei changed his daughter’s diaper with great familiarity.
Li Yong watched from the side, his face full of envy.
When would I be able to hold my daughter? I really want to get married and have a daughter!

By the time of the full moon banquet, the little girl’s name was officially decided.
Li Lei considered for half a month and still felt that the name that Ji Yuanyuan came up with was the best, with a good meaning.
Hence, the girl’s full name was Li Xiang, and her nickname was Xiangxiang.
The little girl inherited Li Lei’s looks and became more and more beautiful. She was fair and tender, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming both liked her very much.
Even Li Miao, who was far away in B City, came back from thousands of miles away on the day of the little girl’s one-month celebration.
The ideal full moon party was also considered grand. The uncles, aunties, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and all of them had prepared gifts.
The little girl was surrounded by gifts and almost couldn’t be seen.
It wasn’t the weekend, so Li Miao had asked for leave.
Therefore, Li Miao had to leave the next day after visiting the little girl.
She bought a train ticket for six in the morning, which was cheaper.
That night, she followed Li Xu home. Li Xu’s house was closer to the train station.
The next morning, Li Xu sent Li Miao to the train station.
Before she left, Li Xu secretly stuffed five hundred Yuan into Li Miao’s pocket.
Li Miao had never taken the initiative to ask her for money since she went to college.
She heard from their parents she rarely asked them for money.
It was probably because she had gone out to work part-time. Li Xu disagreed with this kind of behavior.
She should have attended school properly when she was in school. It was not like her family could not afford to support her now.
It wasn’t worth it to waste time studying.
In early November, the eggplants in Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao’s fields were ripe.
On the weekend, Zhang Kun was in charge of the store while Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang helped out. Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan and drove to Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao’s greenhouse.
The restaurant still used the vegetables from the Yuanyuan space, so Li Xu had not returned the tricycle.
This was Li Xu’s first visit after the construction was completed.
The two of them had taken good care of it, and the vegetables were growing well.
But in comparison, the ones in Zhang Yao’s field were smaller than those in Zhang Jun’s.
It was no wonder. Zhang Jun and his wife were busy, while Zhang Yao was alone.
Shushuo was not young anymore. When he was busy, he would send him to Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali. Whether it was food or sleep, the old couple could take care of him.
Zhang Jun and his wife were soaking in the ground, taking care of the vegetables in the shed.
However, on Zhang Yao’s side, although her child had gone to school, she was not close to anyone but her when she came back from school.
She had to cook for the child, wash her clothes, and put her to sleep. She didn’t have that much time to be busy in the field.
As for Wei Zhenghao, he didn’t care about anything else but only about his land.
There were three people in the family, so they had three people’s land, more than three acres.
The two acres of land that Zhang Yao planted belonged to her and her daughter. There was still more than one acre left, which had been taken care of by Wei Zhenghao himself during this period.
The couple was now living their own lives, and they were both taking a gamble.
Wei Zhenghao wanted to see Zhang Yao make a fool of herself, and he wanted her to beg him. However, Zhang Yao had been holding back for so many years, and it was not easy for her to be tough again. Why would she take the initiative to beg Wei Zhenghao?
Therefore, the vegetables in the field inevitably did not grow as well as Zhang Jun’s.
When Li Xu went over, the eggplants in Zhang Jun’s field had all been picked. They were placed in the basket and neatly stacked on the ground.
Zhang Yao’s farm was still lacking. Zhang Dali and Zhang Jun were helping out in the field.
Wei Zhenghao was in the field next to them, pretending to weed, but in fact, his eyes couldn’t help but look over.
After about an hour, Zhang Yao finished picking the eggplants.
Li Xu carried the scale down from the car and said, “Then let’s count Zhang Yao in first. We’re all family, so I’ll give you guys 40 cents per 500 grams.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao looked at each other in surprise.
The two of them were afraid their Sister-in-law would be too embarrassed or deliberately give them a high price, so they went to inquire about the market in advance.
For example, some markets only sold eggplants for 55 cents per 500 grams, while some vegetable vendors only sold them for 30 cents.
Sister-in-law gave 40 cents at once. It could be seen that she didn’t earn money at all and even had to pay for it.
“Sister-in-law, it’s precisely because we’re family that you should give a real price. We’ll be working together in the future, so you can’t lose money every time!” Zhang Jun said.
“To be honest, we can’t earn much from this price, but it’s not to the extent of losing money.”
Moreover, after the rainy season, the prices of vegetables had generally increased.
“Alright, let’s weigh them. This truck can’t carry much. I’ll probably have to make a few trips back and forth!”
“Sister-in-law, the quality of my eggplant is not as good as Xiaojun’s. Why don’t you give me 35 cents? Otherwise, I won’t feel good about it.” Zhang Yao and Li Xu discussed.
Sister-in-law had already helped them a lot. They couldn’t take advantage of her anymore?
Moreover, when she thought about what she had done in the past, Zhang Yao always felt a little guilty about Li Xu.
Seeing this, Wei Zhenghao, who had come over at some point, looked at Zhang Yao as if she was an idiot.
He had never heard of anyone asking for a discount when selling things.
However, no one paid him any attention.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao carried the eggplants and put them on the scale.
Li Xu and Hao meiting started counting. To prevent any mistakes, they each took a notebook.
In the end, if the two results were matched, it meant the calculation was correct. If it didn’t match, they would have to do it again.
Weighing two baskets one by one, the speed was still considered relatively fast.
When the cart was full, Li Xu took it away.
At this time, Wang Yuechu came over with two children to give everyone water.
When the child came closer, Hao Meiting put the book aside and hugged Shuoshuo.
Wei Zhenghao pretended to walk up casually. When he saw the number in the book, he was shocked..
