The Lucky Wife Reborn In the 90s Era Has A Spatial Ability

43 Chapter 42, Chinese New Year’s Eve

Naturally, Li Xu wasn’t willing to take advantage of him for free. She quickly went to the kitchen, filled up some fruits and vegetables, and chased after him with the big bag.

Fortunately, Zhang Kun didn’t walk fast. When Li Xu went downstairs, he had only walked 20-30 meters on his bicycle.

“Brother Zhang Kun, wait!” Li Xu shouted from behind as she chased after him.

Zhang Kun heard the voice and stopped the bike in surprise.

Li Xu took a few steps forward and hung the bag on Zhang Kun’s handlebar, “These are all not worth much. Take them home to eat.”

Zhang Kun opened his mouth and said in a low voice, “I don’t have any children at home, so I really can’t eat. I just think that your family has a lot of children...”

Li Xu smiled, “Be careful on the road. I wish you a happy new year in advance.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Zhang Kun stood at the same spot and looked at Li Xu’s back with a complicated gaze.

At night, Li Yong only came over after eight o’clock.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked, “Sis, is there anything to eat? I’m starving...”

Li Xu felt a little strange, “Working in a restaurant, how can you starve?”

Even though she said that she still went to the kitchen, “I’ll make you a noodle and a braised pork for you.”

Li Yong said helplessly, “It’s New Year’s Eve today, and there are many people ordering food. I was afraid that you guys would wait for me, so I came over without eating.”

He sat down at the dining table, and then his sharp eyes saw the two boxes on the ground, “Where did you get them? They’re not cheap.”

Ji Yuanyuan instantly felt that her chance had come, so she went forward and said, “Uncle Zhang Kun sent them over this afternoon. He said that there were no children at home and he can’t it.”

When he heard that it was sent over by Zhang Kun, Li Yong’s expression was a little surprised.

“Uncle, does Uncle Zhang Kun not have children? Why is he still unmarried at such an old age?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in a childish tone. Li Yong didn’t think too much about it.

Li Xu also said, “He probably saw that it wasn’t easy for us mother and three children, so he deliberately found an excuse.”

Li Yong sighed, “My Master was married before, and he had a daughter.” He and his wife were very close it made me very envious. However, about three or four years ago, when his wife and child were crossing the road, they were hit by a car and the child died on the spot. His wife was resuscitated in the hospital for a week before...”

Speaking of what happened back then, Li Yong’s tone was heavy, “I’ve seen the child before. She was very beautiful and very polite. She was only five years old when she died.”

Li Xu was also someone who had a child. Naturally, she could understand what it was like to lose a child.

When she recalled the expression on Zhang Kun’s face when Ji Yuanyuan questioned her in the afternoon, Li Xu felt a wave of bitterness.

“It wasn’t easy for your master either,” She sighed.

“Who says so? The reason why he took care of you guys like this is probably because of Yuanyua, apart from the fact that it wasn’t easy for you guys.” Li Yong continued, “When he saw Yuanyuan, he probably thought of his own daughter.”

Ji Yuan Yuan was stunned. She did not expect the reason to be her.

Li Xu quickly finished cooking and the topic was changed.

After dinner, Li Xu went into the bedroom and quickly took out a handkerchief.

She walked to Li Yong and carefully took out the handkerchief, “I’ve saved some money these days. I’ll return a portion to you first. You went to the bank to deposit it.”

She had earned quite a lot these days. But she didn’t dare to take out all the money, afraid that Li Yong would be suspicious.

She took 500 yuan from it and placed it in front of Li Yong.

“Forget it, Sis. I’m not in a hurry to use it. You can consider it to save it for me. When I need it in the future, you can give it to me,” said Li Yong, “But your business is not bad. You’ve saved 500 Yuan in such a short time, not bad.”

Li Xu did not dare to say anything more and only said, “I still have a few hundred Yuan here. You can take these first. I’ll give you the rest next year.”

Seeing that Li Xu did not seem to be lying, Li Yong hesitated for a moment before taking the money, “Alright, whenever you need money, just let me know.”

Li Xu nodded, “Don’t worry.”

It was getting late. Li Yong slept there at night. The next morning, he helped Li Xu take the vegetables to the market before leaving.

After the new year, Ji Zi’ang kept nagging about Qin Mucheng.

However, he kept nagging until the new year, but Qin Mucheng did not come.

He guessed that he would only come after the new year.

Li Yong had a holiday on the 26th of the twelfth month of the lunar year, but he did not go home immediately after the holiday. He stayed at Li Xu’s place until the 28th of December. Only then did he go home with Li Xu.

Li Miao had been on holiday for a few days already. Together with Liu Guihua, they cleaned the house thoroughly.

The Li’s family small courtyard was filled with so many people and it became lively all of a sudden.

There was no day 30 in this twelfth month of the lunar year, so it was New Year’s Eve on the second day.

In the morning, Li Xu boiled the paste1. Li Yong stepped on the stool and plastered couplets on all the doors of the house. The word “Luck2” was plastered all over the house.

Ji Zi’ang could not wait to take out his new clothes. After putting them on, he forced Li Xu to take them off.

In the afternoon, Liu Guihua, Li Xu, and Li Miao were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Li Yong took the three children to the supermarket and bought some fireworks to play with in the evening.

The streets were filled with New Year’s atmosphere.

Although they had no money in this era, everyone valued the New Year’s Eve dinner.

In the evening, Li Yong cooked.

Braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried fresh mushrooms, mushroom stir-fried meat, leek eggs, and a prawn.

There was also a bottle of sweet drink3 for each person.

These were things that could not be eaten on a normal day. Ji Zi’ang ate until his mouth was full of oil.

...

It was a pity that there was no television at home. Otherwise, when the whole family gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, it would be very lively.

The Li family was very happy, but the Ji family was the complete opposite.

At the dining table, seeing Xu Xiuhua’s expression, no one dared to say anything. Feng Yue even shrank her neck.

Ji Jianjun, the eldest son of the Ji family, tried to smooth things over, “Alright, alright. Everyone, let’s eat first. We’ll talk about these things after the New Year.”

However, just as Ji Jianjun finished speaking, Xu Xiuhua suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table with a ‘bang’.

The children of the eldest and second son had all grown up. They had been mentally prepared since just now, so they were naturally not frightened.

However, Shen Lingxue was still young. She was so frightened by the old lady’s voice that she trembled and threw herself into Shen Mei’s arms.

Shen Mei hugged her with heartache and gently comforted her.

Xu Xiuhua became angrier when she saw the mother and daughter. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Jianguo, “You’re doing a good job. If you say you’re not going to do it, then you’re not going to do it? Go and ask the people in our village. Who doesn’t envy you for having a good job?”

Ji Jianguo had difficulty speaking. Ever since the incident last time, Chief Qin didn’t have a good expression when he saw him now.

However, he didn’t dare to say this to Xu Xiuhua. Otherwise, Xu Xiuhua might have rushed to the unit to look for Chief Qin.

...

When that time came, he would lose a lot of face.
