78 Chapter 77, Brother-in-law is Good
Li Xu raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.
Even Li Yong sighed, “Zixuan, don’t worry. If he dares to treat your mother badly in the future, Second Uncle won’t let him off either. Also, your Eldest Uncle is coming back this year. We have your mother’s back.”
Ji Zixuan held his teacup and lightly clinked it with Zhang Kun’s, “Uncle Zhang, you must keep your word.”
Zhang Kun nodded his head seriously, “Of course. I’ll keep my word.”
Ji Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief and imitated an adult’s behavior. He drank all the tea in the teacup.
Zhang Kun followed suit and finished the tea in one go.
After dinner, Li Xu sent Li Yong and Zhang Kun off.
As the children were around, they did not drink at the dinner table. Both of them were very sober.
“I’m leaving first, Sister. You don’t have to see me off.” Li Yong was very tactful. He took two steps forward to reach his bicycle while speaking.
Li Xu nodded, “Be careful on the road.”
Li Yong got on the bicycle and left.
Only Li Xu and Zhang Kun were left downstairs. The night wind was a little cold. Li Xu subconsciously tightened her coat.
“It’s cold outside, you should go back.” Zhang Kun saw the situation and hurriedly said.
Li Xu responded, but for some reason, she didn’t want to go upstairs yet, “You go first, I’ll see you off.”
“You go upstairs first, the children are still waiting for you at home.”
For a moment, the two of them started to give way to each other.
After a moment of silence, Li Xu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Okay, I’ll go up then. Be careful on the road.” Although they were all. Words of advice, compared to the advice given to Li Yong just now, the current Li Xu was a little too gentle.
Zhang Kun felt a little happy in his heart and quickly nodded, “Okay, I’ll go up when I see you.”
Li Xu pursed her lips and turned to go upstairs with a smile.
Zhang Kun kept looking at the window on the third floor until Li Xu’s head appeared in the window. Zhang Kun then waved his hand and rode away.
It was not until Zhang Kun’s figure was out of sight that Li Xu closed the curtains and went to tidy up the dining table.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang had already returned to the bedroom to do their homework.
Ji Zi’ang had been doing well during this time. Tonight, after being provoked by Zhang Kun and Ji Yuanyuan, he was even more motivated to study.
On the other hand, Ji Zixuan was absent-minded and kept looking at Li Xu.
Li Xu’s face was full of smiles. She was busy in the living room and did not notice Ji Zixuan’s gaze at all.
Seeing Li Xu’s rare joy, Ji Zixuan let out a soft sigh.
As long as his mother was happy, everything he had done was worth it.
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he happened to meet Ji Yuanyuan’s gaze.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled at him, but Ji Zixuan turned his head away in embarrassment.
Ji Yuanyuan knew that her Big Brother cared about his dignity and was shy, so she pretended to know nothing.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first weekend of July.
The final exams for the three children had already ended, but the results had not been released yet. Next Monday, they could go to school to get their report cards, and then they could take a break.
Logically speaking, there were still a few more days before the break, so Li Xu did not have to bring the children home at this time.
However, Li Miao was going to take the exams next Monday, so the school had a break this week, so it could be considered as letting the students go home to relax.
After all, they had learned enough and didn’t mind giving these two days of holiday.
If they could let the students relax, it might be more effective than two days of study.
Therefore, Li Xu and Li Yong wanted to go home and ease Li Miao’s heart.
This time, Li Xu brought Zhang Kun with her.
The two of them had been dating for more than three months, and there were no big problems between them. If both parents had no problems, the next step should be put on the agenda.
With Zhang Kun, Li Xu naturally couldn’t go back on Friday night, and Zhang Kun didn’t have a place to stay.
So, they planned to go back on Saturday morning. In that case, Li Xu and Li Yong left separately.
Li Xu took Zhang Kun and the children home first. Li Yong went to Li Miao’s high school and picked her up before returning home.
Zhang Kun’s bicycle was ridden by Li Xu while she took Ji Yuanyuan with her.
A seat was tied to the beam of Zhang Kun’s bike, and a thick cushion was placed on it.
Ji Yuanyuan sat on the cushion and sighed comfortably.
Uncle Zhang was the most attentive. He even knew how to put a seat and a cushion.
Unlike her Second Uncle, who directly let her sit on the cold beam.
Zhang Kun rode on Li Xu’s tricycle and carried Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang.
During this period, Zhang Kun would occasionally show his face in front of Ji Zixuan, so Ji Zixuan was no longer as unfamiliar with Zhang Kun as before.
When they went uphill, the two brothers jumped off the tricycle and helped push the cart.
The group of people quickly returned home.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua had long received a call from Li Xu. They knew that Zhang Kun would come, so they prepared a lot of dishes.
There was a phone in the village’s snack shop. If anyone in the village had any problems, they would use the shop’s phone to contact them.
Of course, it was also charged.
When Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua saw Zhang Kun, they felt very satisfied.
Their future son-in-law was tall and strong. He would definitely be able to protect their daughter from being bullied in the future. Moreover, he looked simple and honest. It was obvious that he was someone who lived his life well.
He definitely wouldn’t be as fickle-minded as Ji Jianguo.
Pei, why would he think of this unlucky thing?
At this moment, Ji Jianguo sneezed fiercely on the street in S City. Then, he looked at Shen Mei impatiently, “Alright, alright. How many more things do you want to buy? That’s enough!”
Shen Mei was not angry. She said gently, “I want to buy a set of clothes for Mother. I don’t think she has any good clothes. Now that her son is successful, she should also enjoy life together with him.”
Ji Jianguo’s expression became a little better when he heard this.
Shen Mei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.
…
Zhang Kun brought a lot of things that the old people loved to eat. When the old couple saw how generous Zhang Kun was, they were even more satisfied.
The old couple chatted with Zhang Kun in the courtyard for a while before Li Yong and Li Miao came back.
Li Miao had already heard from Li Yong on the way back.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted him sweetly, “Hello, Brother-in-law!”
Zhang Kun scratched his head in embarrassment. “Hey, Miaomiao, hello.”
Li Xu glanced at him unhappily before looking at Li Miao, “Why are you calling him Brother-in-law now? Just call him Big Brother.”
Li Miao smiled, “It’s just a matter of time, I’ll call him that first.”
Li Miao and the Li family’s elder couple were the same. The moment they saw Zhang Kun, they felt that he was someone worthy of Li Xu’s lifelong commitment.
“Come in and sit down for a while. The dishes are almost ready. We’ll be able to eat in about twenty minutes, ” Liu Guihua shouted from inside the house.
Li Yong rolled up his sleeves, “Mom, let me help you!”
Seeing this, Zhang Kun wanted to help as well. However, just as he rolled up his sleeves, he was stopped by Li Xu. “Come, let’s see how the vegetables planted by my parents are doing.”
