Chapter 132
132 Chapter 131, I’m Not A Pushover
“She was the one who was unwilling. After so many years, not only is she waiting, I’m also waiting!”
That’s right, whose youth wasn’t worth anything?
“Originally, I could have stayed on the squad. When I submitted my discharge application, our leader even let me stay. I was thinking that she had waited for me for so many years, and I couldn’t let her wait in vain, so I gritted my teeth and left the army.
If I were to count it seriously, I would have paid no less than her! Now that I’m back, their family is using the matter of marriage to bully me, I’m not a pushover! If she wants to get married, then get married. If she doesn’t, I won’t force her.”
After Li Lei finished speaking, he smiled bitterly, “Sister, although I’m a little old, I’m not completely useless. How can I not get a wife?”
Hearing Li Lei’s words, Li Xu helplessly reached out her hand and patted Li Lei’s shoulder, “Since you’ve already thought it through, I won’t say anything else. Relationships are like drinking water, only the one who drank knew whether it was cold or hot!”
This topic was moved aside, and Li Xu did not mention it again.
Very soon, the group arrived at the large market of Qili village.
Qili Village was nearby and could be considered a large village. Therefore, people from all over the country came here to buy things.
Long counters made of cement were about 50 centimeters tall. There were all kinds of things on them, including food, clothes, and everything else.
At the entrance, there were people guarding the bicycles.
It cost 50 cents per bicycle. Three bicycles cost 1.50 Yuan. Zhang Kun quickly took out the money and took the sign.
He was the brother-in-law, so he had to be conscious of being a brother-in-law in front of his two brothers-in-law.
The people who looked at the bikes were given small signs in pairs. One of them was hung on the bikes, and the other one was given to the owner of the bikes.
When they were done, they could take the tags to claim their bicycle.
Although there were people watching, Li Yong was still a little worried. He took a big lock and locked all three bikes together.
After locking them, he clapped his hands and said happily, “Fortunately, my lock is big enough. I’m sure I won’t lose it this way!”
Ji Zi’ang could not wait any longer. He pulled Li Yong’s hand and was about to walk inside, “Second Uncle, Hurry Up!”
Li Yong could not care less and brought Ji Zi’ang into the crowd.
Ji Yuanyuan was held by Zhang Kun, so Li Lei grabbed Ji Zixuan’s hand and instructed, “Tell me what you want to buy. There are too many people here. Don’t let go of my hand, okay?”
Ji Zixuan nodded obediently, “I know, Uncle!”
The Qi Li Village Fair was the largest fair in all the villages, so there were a lot of people coming to the market.
In this era, there were a lot of children being abducted and sold.
Naturally, Li Lei was worried and carefully exhorted him.
Li Xu did not need to worry about the children. She thought about it and decided to follow Zhang Kun.
It was inconvenient for a group of people to walk together, so they could only leave separately.
Zhang Kun brought Ji Yuanyuan and went straight to the candied haws stall next to them. He first gave Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu a candied haws each, then instructed the stall owner to prepare a few.
Taking advantage of the inconvenience of Zhang Kun carrying Ji Yuanyuan, Li Xu quickly rushed to pay.
The watch that Zhang Kun bought for Xiao Lei was obviously not cheap. No matter what, she could not let him spend any more money.
When Zhang Kun saw Li Xu’s att.i.tude, he smiled.
“Alright, I’ll be in charge of carrying Yuanyuan. You’ll pay for it today!”
When Li Xu heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Ji Yuanyuan was not interested in the snacks and toys here.
After shopping around, they only bought some fruits, a few pounds of meat, and a few pounds of seafood.
They also bought a jacket for each of the three children and Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun was very happy. After all, this was the first time that Li Xu bought clothes for him.
He immediately changed into the clothes and refused to take them off.
“It hasn’t been washed yet and you put them on just like that. Why do you look like a child?” Li Xu held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and muttered in a low voice.
Zhang Kun put his old clothes in a bag and happily carried ji Yuanyuan up. He even raised her up, “I like this shirt!”
Ji Yuanyuan was in Zhang Kun’s arms. She said righteously to Li Xu, “Mom, you have to buy clothes for Uncle Zhang often in the future.”
So he would not be so excited!
Zhang Kun could not help but kiss Ji Yuanyuan on the cheek, “Yuanyuan is the one who knows how to love me!”
Li Xu could not help but laugh. “Alright, I’ll buy clothes for you often in the future!”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Kun and blinked, “Mom also loves you very much, give her a kiss too.”
Just as he said that, before Li Xu could react, Zhang Kun turned her head and kissed her on the cheek.
As people came and went, Li Xu could not help but push him, “Are you crazy? We’re outside!”
Ji Yuanyuan covered her mouth, “Mommy is shy!”
Li Xu stomped her feet and turned to leave.
Zhang Kun quickly carried Ji Yuanyuan and followed.
When the people beside them saw this, they said with some envy, “This family of three is really good!”
When Zhang Kun heard this, he turned around, “Thank you for your praise!”
After saying that, he caught up to Li Xu in a few steps.
He held Ji Yuanyuan with one hand and Li Xu’s hand with the other.
Ji Yuanyuan laid on Zhang Kun’s shoulder and sighed with some satisfaction.
Yes, such a life was really good!
Zhang Kun was really like a father!
Although she was already an adult, she still could not help but indulge in this kind of fatherly love.
This was something she had never experienced in her previous life!
As she thought about it, her eyes started to turn slightly sour.
It was really good. The heavens not only gave her a chance to be reborn, but also gave her a father!
…
The three of them returned to their parking spot. Ji Zi’ang and Li Yong had already returned.
The two of them were squatting by the roadside, like two street slackers, eating roasted sweet potatoes while shaking their legs.
Beside them were a bunch of useless things they had bought, yo-yos, gyros, popcorn, flowery shirts..
Seeing Li Xu and the other two, Li Yong hurriedly stood up and took two roasted sweet potatoes from the side, “Sis, you must be hungry. These roasted sweet potatoes are so sweet!”
Ji Ziang echoed from the side, “They’re really sweet!”
Li Xu looked at Ji Zi’ang and then at Li Yong!
Then, she covered her head with her hands, feeling a headache coming on!
The nephew followed after the uncle. What people said was true!
Zhang Kun pa.s.sed the candied haws to them. After the two of them finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes, they started eating the candied haws again.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ji Zixuan and Li Lei finally returned.
The two of them had bought a lot. Not only was Li Lei carrying a full bag of items, but even Ji Zixuan had helped carry a few items.
Li Yong and Li Xu quickly went forward and took the things from the two of them.
“What did you buy? Why are there so many?” Li Xu mumbled, “You’re just like Xiao Yong, you can’t save money.”
Li Lei smiled gently, “There were many people at home, so I bought some meat, fruits, and snacks. I also bought some tobacco and tea leaves for dad. Anyway, I bought some bits and pieces.”
“If I had known, I would have come here on a tricycle,” Li Xu said with some regret.
However, fortunately, there were many of them, so it was not impossible to bring them back.
When they went back, the handlebars of each bike were full.
