Chapter 247, Listen to the Rain
This road should never be finished, although the road is getting more and more familiar and getting closer and closer to home, Li He still prayed in his heart ten thousand times, ten thousand times.
However, no matter how much he prayed, they still returned to the territory of Tiannan Province, no matter which direction they went from, to the provincial capital of Guangyin City, at most it was a day's trip. Because their location back in the province is half a day's road away from Spruce County, and Ji Xiao still has a few days of vacation, Li He wants to take Ji Yu back to his grandparents' house.
Ji Xiao readily agreed, but what about mulberry?
Li He said: "Let's go together, my grandmother's house has beautiful mountains and waters, as well as home-raised chickens and ducks, and home-grown fruit trees." Now is the time when the fruit is ripe, and the feeling of climbing up the tree and eating peaches and plums is never experienced in the city. β
Peaches and plums...... The saliva of mulberry is a little out, and it is not vain to quench the thirst of Wangmei, in fact, when people think of certain fruits at some point, the secretion of saliva, that is, saliva will really increase.
But Mulberry still said insincerely: "But it's too much to hinder you......"
Li He hehe, and said: "What is the obstacle, anyway, you have hindered all the way, seeing that your saliva is flowing out, don't you feel very insincere when you say such insincere words?"
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "I can see this too." β
Mulberry shook his head and said, "Okay, then I don't care." Ji Xiao, don't worry, when I get to Li He's grandmother's house, I will be in charge of eating, and you don't have to pay attention to me when you fall in love yourself. β
So it was decided so happily that the three of them would go to Li He's grandparents' house together.
Li He didn't dare to be particularly happy, because he was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't know what Ji Xiao thought.
In fact, Ji Xiao didn't know what he thought.
If she didn't let Mulberry leave alone before, she was not at ease, but now that she has entered the territory of Tiannan Province, this worry still exists. After all, she didn't even have an ID card, so she really let her go alone, even if it was a small mistake, she wouldn't even be able to live in a regular hotel at that time.
It's not that Ji Yu is confident enough in herself, so confident that he won't change whether he is by Li He's side or not, no matter who appears around Li He, but she doesn't think that if she is careful and doesn't let Li He get close to other girls, Li He will definitely not change. Especially since she is about to go to England, so far, for so long, can she prevent it?
It's not that there is no little entanglement, but when I think that I am about to leave, the last few days, to make myself happy, those things that only exist in a possibility, it is better to put it aside. At least I won't be bothered about it for a few days.
In addition, I don't know why, obviously Mulberry is such a beautiful girl, and she feels very familiar with Li He, but Ji Yu is not hostile to her.
Ji Xiao has a small tangled, and Mulberry himself has a small tangled.
She felt that she shouldn't follow Li He and the others so stubbornly, but when she turned her head and thought about it, if she cringed and wanted to go to Li He's grandmother's house to see, but left with a tangled face, would that be really weak-hearted?
Both girls have their own little entanglements, but in terms of their pride and character, Ji Xiao is tranquil, and Mulberry is straightforward, and they don't really take this kind of little tangle seriously.
Therefore, Li He's invitation was sincere, Ji Xiao's encouragement was natural, and Sang Quinoa's acceptance of the invitation was also calm.
And in Li He, he is also proud in his heart, after all, taking such two girls back to his grandparents' house together, his vanity is also greatly satisfied.
They shifted direction in the afternoon, and arrived in Spruce County at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
stayed at Li He's eldest uncle's house that night, Ji Xiao had to maintain his reserve in front of Li He's family, of course, he would not live in a room with Li He, but with Sang Quinoa, and they lived in the room of Li He's second sister Li Di.
Li Di will still be in the provincial capital, doing experiments with his senior brother Zhang Yuanhao in Li He's factory, but the eldest brother Li Jun happens to be at home. As soon as he entered the door, Li He introduced the two girls, of course, he deliberately emphasized that his girlfriend was Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa was a college classmate, but Li Jun's eyes changed when he looked at Li He, squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, with an expression that all men understand.
I've been running on the road these days, saying it's a tour, but I'm actually tired, and I finally got to a place where I could sleep in bed, Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa The two girls said hello to Li Jun, and under the arrangement of Li He's sister-in-law, they went to sleep early.
Li He was also very tired and sleepy, but the eldest brother Li Jun happened to catch him, so he had a lot to say to him. The two of them were in the living room of the uncle's house, put a plate of peanuts, steamed a plate of their own sausages, poured two bowls of wine, and chatted like this.
"Fourth, you're so old. Li Jun ran around the country, and he didn't know where he learned the accent, so he gave Li He a thumbs up and praised it greatly.
Li He smiled in his heart, but said on the surface: "Big brother, you think too much, one is my girlfriend, and the other is really just my college classmate, and it is also because of the coincidence on the road, walking with us is not as complicated as you think." β
Li Jun snorted and said, "Don't admit yourself, the more you explain, the more troublesome you will have." Do you think I'm talking about that? I'm talking about taxi companies. Didn't you tell me last year to sell the big car and borrow some money to start a taxi company? I thought it would be very difficult to do this, but it turned out that your friend, by the way, was the owner of Youwei Real Estate? How did you know him? He said that you arranged for him to help me straighten out the relationship, and it turned out that I was quick to do it. Fourth, big brother can accept your affection!"
Li He smiled, You Ke really had a heart. In fact, to run a small taxi company with several cars, with You Kewei's strength and status in Faith City, he didn't need to go out in person, but he not only went out in person, but also clearly told Li Jun that it was Li He's face to do it.
In fact, it makes sense for you to do this, even if you are a brother, if you don't explain some things clearly, others may not know your favor, or others may pretend to be confused if they know that it is your favor, and maybe they will get benefits and sell their belief.
There are such people, although Li He doesn't think that his cousin Li He is such a person, but in fact, he has not had much contact with Li Jun since he was a child, and this is really uncertain. You Ke easily solved Li He's worries for him, and it seems that the transformation of the power plant road, You Ke is really promising.
Li He asked, "How is the business now?"
Li Jun said excitedly: "Fourth, you are too accurate, now the city is vigorously rectifying the taxi operation, those who run by themselves, are affiliated with the company, but the route is unknown, or the duplicate is all rectified." This year, the city has made great efforts to rectify, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that taxis in the future will have to change their way of life. Now my company has 8 cars, I hired someone to run the day shift and the night shift, many cars dare not come out for a while, my business, that can be said to be carpooling. I'm going to take out a loan to add 4 more cars and expand the size of the company a little bit first. There are a lot of people who want to come here, but I don't agree. β
Li He looked at his eldest brother, he hadn't seen him all the year round, he only knew that he could make money by running long distances, but the money he earned was either thrown on the gambling table, or on the belly of the wild shop Liuying, and he was really afraid that he would be greedy and take over all kinds of messy people who wanted to be attached to him, and it would not be long before the company was absolutely chaotic, and it would definitely collapse if it was messy.
Unexpectedly, Li Jun was very knowledgeable and determined.
This time, Li He gave Li Jun a thumbs up and said, "Big brother is right." At this time, you must be stable, those black cars, those without lines, will soon be banned, if you really let them anchor, they will survive, in fact, they are robbing your own market. Now the stricter the rectification in the city, the better it will be for a qualified regular company like yours. β
Li Jun and Li He touched a cup, and sighed: "I am also a person with a company, your sister-in-law has been really considerate of me recently, and said that she will give birth to me again, and I am not afraid of punishment." I'm not greedy, so I'm developing steadily, and by next year, I can have 20 cars, and I'll be able to talk to people in the city taxis. β
Faith City is a small prefecture-level city, and a small company has 20 cars, which is really good.
Li He said: "Then hurry up, take advantage of the good order and policy now." β
Li Jun said: "Yes, now this Mayor Kuang is courageous, he dares to move what others dare not move, and he will bring the original stagnant water back to life as soon as he makes a move, and he has the ability!"
Li He smiled, hearing that Kuang Xingyuan's actions had received good results, he also mentioned Kuang Xingyuan's happiness. One is happy, and the other is that he knows that in the next few years, the taxi industry in Faith City will develop, and he just has a little money left in gambling, so he said: "In this way, big brother, I will pay for 5 cars and buy shares, I don't care about anything, just dividends." β
Li Jun's eyes lit up, he himself was going to add 4 units, and Li He added 5 more units to him, adding up to 17 cars, which can be regarded as realizing his great plan of 20 cars ahead of schedule. The key is still in the early stage, the more investment at this time, the more profit will be made in the later stage like a snowball, he is afraid of the table and says: "Fourth, our brothers will get rich together!"
The next day, Li Jun went back to Faith City early in the morning to expand his company, while Li He took Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa to drive back to his grandparents' house in Zhuchun Township.
The road into the hometown is bumpy, but this is the time when an off-road vehicle like the Wrangler gives full play to its advantages, and the road is all flat and drives directly to the doorstep.
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
"Hello grandpa!
"Grandpa is good, grandma is good. β
Li He called grandparents, and Ji Xiao and Sang Quinoa also called grandparents, is there a problem with that? Of course there is no problem. Grandpa is a year older again, and his reaction is a little wooden, but grandma's eyes are narrowed into a slit when she laughs. This pair of old people live in the old house, although the children and grandchildren are full, but this will not be there, Li He's appearance has relieved the loneliness of the old man.
As a rule, grandma caught a chicken and killed it, and stewed it on the fire pit with firewood.
The firewood used is what Li He just chopped, Li He is still chopping firewood, he is naked, he has been chopping sweaty, this time, at least half a year will not come back, their firewood, grandma can also chop some small, big next-door neighbors can also help, but Li He is still ready to chop as much as possible.
I didn't see Sister Jiaxiu in Kanxia, so Sister Jiaxiu, who made him and Li Chun national costumes that year and took them to sing mountain songs, said that she would marry into the village in Shanwan on the other side of the river. Grandma said that Jiaxiu married so far, if grandma knew where Ji Xiao was going, then how should she describe that kind of distance?
When Li He was chopping firewood, Ji Xiao moved a small bench, and sat on the side to watch Li He chop firewood, and after a while, Sang Quinoa also moved a small bench and sat on the side to support his cheeks to watch Li He chop wood. Look at him sweating, see the muscles on his arms soaked in sweat and shiny.
As soon as Li He turned his head and saw the two of them, he didn't know what to say.
It wasn't until grandma called for dinner, Li He put down the axe, just outside the kitchen, and poured a bucket of water on his body, at this time Mulberry covered his eyes and ran away, leaving Ji Xiao there pursed his lips and smiled.
When eating, the mulberry seemed to have a grudge against the stewed chicken in the pot, Li He drank half a bowl of wine with his grandfather, and most of the chicken had already entered the mulberry's stomach, and she ate her mouth full of oil, and the ten fingers that should have been spotless were also greasy. And the remaining half has basically entered Ji Xiao's stomach.
"Sorry, it's delicious. Ji Xiao couldn't laugh, pointed to the pot and said: "The soup is going to be drunk by mulberry, or I am good to you, I left you a chicken head, you see that it is still connected to the neck, but the skin is also eaten by mulberry." β
"Please, are you eating those chicken skins?" Mulberry licked his fingers and protested lazily.
"Grandma," Li He said helplessly, "Can you fry me two more eggs......
At night, it rained.
There are many rooms and many beds in the old house, after all, there is such a large family that has to come back from time to time, everything is all right, and the three of them also sleep in a room.
I slept too early yesterday and slept too much, and I didn't want to sleep, so I sat under the eaves and didn't want to talk and listen to the rain.
The old house is a tiled house, and there is a small drainage ditch under the eaves, called Yang ditch. The rain was not heavy, but the rain dripped down from the eaves, like a curtain, and then the curtain broke, turned into beads, and dropped a grain every once in a while, and a grain fell every once in a while, and fell into the gutter, ticking, and a small splash of water, and then dissipated in the dense rain vapor.
There was nothing to be seen in the distance, no city lights, only a darkness that was so quiet that it was endless.
After sitting for a long time, Ji Xiao fell asleep leaning on Li He's shoulder at some point.
So Li He carried her into the house, helped her take off her shoes, and covered the quilt. The night in the mountains is cold, and it is still the middle of summer, and if you don't cover it with a thick quilt, you will catch a cold.
When Ji Xiao was cleaned up and returned to the door, Mulberry Quinoa fell asleep against the wall.
Yue Li He also carried her into the house, helped her take off her shoes, and covered the quilt.
They all fell asleep, and Li He went back to his room and couldn't sleep.
