Chapter 453, Praise High

Back in the attic, Li Xiang saw that Jin Zhu's face was still a little depressed, thinking that she was still worried about Jin Yu's affairs, and just took her into his arms and wanted to persuade her, but Jin Zhu spoke first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Ah Xiang, do you think the golden bull really means anything to Ning Ning?"

"Zhuzhu, I was only fifteen years old when I liked you." Li Xiang touched Jin Zhu's hair and rubbed it against her head.

"But the Taurus is only fourteen years old."

Although Taurus was in his first year of high school, because he went to school relatively early, no one looked at him at that time, so he was sent to school early, and he happened to have a companion with Jinbao.

"It's fifteen years after the New Year. Besides, don't you also like Dr. Wang's family? Last summer, I wanted to take Ning Ning to the imperial capital to learn Go. ā€

Li Xiang refers to the fact that last summer, Jin Zhu learned from the mouth of the golden bull that Ning Ning won the third place in the provincial children's group Go competition, so he wanted Dr. Wang to send the child to the imperial capital, saying that he could help her find a good teacher to tutor her in the imperial capital.

It's a pity that Jin Zhu didn't have time to call before she received a notice from Xie Jinhua and asked her to follow them to Yun Province to conduct research, and the matter was stopped.

"Like is like, but these two are too young, who knows what will happen in the future?" Jin Zhu shook his head.

"You also said who knows what will happen in the future? So don't worry about it, although the Taurus is small, he has not been out to compete in the past two years, and he knows what he wants. Not to mention, what this kid said today has a little meaning, he has really grown up and is sensible, he knows that he has to protect his sister, and he also knows that he has to save money for his sisters' dowry. ā€

Hearing this, Jin Zhu flew a glance at Li Xiang, "Then what kind of jealousy do you always eat with him?" ā€

"I'm afraid you're tired, you're going to be tired, can our baby still report to you?" Li Xiang put his hand into Jin Zhu's pajamas, and his big palm rested on Jin Zhu's stomach.

During this time, he worked very hard, but he didn't know if he had gained anything.

"I hate it, how can I be so squeamish?" Jin Zhu took two steps back and slapped Li Xiang's hand away.

"Really not squeamish?" Li Xiang smiled playfully, and before Jin Zhu could react, he hugged her horizontally.

The next morning, Jin Zhu happened to have no class, and after breakfast, he entered Jin Yu's room, when Jin Yu was sitting in front of the easel to practice sketching, when he heard the movement, he hurriedly turned around and asked with a smile, "Sister, do you think I draw well?" ā€

Jin Zhu stood behind her and looked at it, "Yes, there is progress." ā€

"Eldest sister, you perfunctory me again, every time you say this." Jin Yu rubbed his head into Jin Zhu's arms.

"Jin Yu, come, eldest sister has something to tell you." Jin Zhu touched Jin Yu's head, and then pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Eldest sister, I know, don't worry, I will definitely listen to the words of the second sister, the third sister and the brothers, and promise not to walk around, so I will stay at home with Aunt Tian." Jin Yu knew that Jin Zhu was going to go to the United States with Li Xiang in two days, thinking that Jin Zhu wanted to tell her a few words about this.

"It's not this, Jin Yu, come, tell the eldest sister, do you miss your mother?"

"Mom?" Jin Yu repeated the title, and then looked at Jin Zhu silently, she was studying Jin Zhu's face.

The word "mother" is equivalent to a taboo in this family, nothing special is usually not mentioned, and every time it is mentioned, it is almost not a pleasant thing, so the strong sense of uneasiness that was familiar in the past quickly enveloped her again.

"You listen to what the eldest sister told you." Jin Zhu had no choice but to tell Jin Yu about Sun Xiaoyan's return to the county seat, but she didn't say that everyone discussed it last night, she wanted to see what Jin Yu thought about herself.

"My mother really came back with Brother Jin Ye?" A hint of surprise flashed on Jin Yu's face, and his voice rose a few decibels, and Fu felt that he was acting too obviously, and looked at Jin Zhu a little embarrassed.

Because she didn't know that Jin Ye was not her father's son, she was too young, and Jin Zhu couldn't explain these things to her, so she simply hid them from her first.

"Well, your mother has formed a new home with other men, and that family has a younger brother in addition to Jin Ye, who is two years older than Jin Ye, do you want to go home and see them?" That's all Jin Zhu can say.

"Big sister, I, I... Jin Yu's little face was twisted into a ball.

It's impossible to say that she doesn't want her mother at all, but she also knows how good her brothers and sisters are to her, so she doesn't know what to do.

said that she wanted to go home, for fear of breaking the hearts of her brothers and sisters, and said that she didn't want to go home, and she really wanted to go back to see her mother and brother.

What the hell is she supposed to do?

"That's it, the eldest sister will turn around and let the second sister send you back to your mother, you will accompany your mother during the Chinese New Year this year, and when school starts, the eldest sister will let the second sister pick you up, and you will also come to the city to study. Of course, if you don't want to come and want to stay with your mother to study, the eldest sister has no objection, but one thing you remember, if one day you don't want to stay with your mother, you call your brothers and sisters, and the eldest sister will arrange for someone to pick you up. Jin Zhu still couldn't see the child embarrassed, so she made arrangements for her.

"yes, okay." Jin Yu also understood that this was the best arrangement.

She can go home to see her mother and go back to the imperial capital to study with her brothers and sisters, she likes to live with her brothers and sisters, but she also misses her mother.

Jin Zhu didn't expect things to be resolved so smoothly, touched Jin Yu's head, praised her twice, asked her to continue painting, and went upstairs to read a book.

She still has one exam in the afternoon and one the morning after tomorrow, and she hasn't studied much during this time.

After Jin Zhu left, Jin Yu didn't have the heart to paint, lay on the bed, and began to recall her mother's appearance.

But Sun Xiaoyan has been away from her for two years, she was only five years old at that time, and she can't remember some things very well, she thought hard for a long time, and the deepest impression in her mind was that her mother and eldest sister quarreled, and it didn't seem to be a quarrel, what was it called a lawsuit, for the money that my father left.

Also, when she was in the countryside, she heard her mother-in-law scold her mother more than once, saying that her father was accidentally killed because her mother forced him to dig some sand to earn money.

By the way, it seems that her mother also quarreled with her mother-in-law when she sent her to her mother-in-law's house, also because of money.

Later, every time my mother-in-law was in a bad mood, she scolded her because of money, accused her of being a money loser, and accused her of spending money.

Money, and money, and money.

Why do these adults talk about it for money?

Is money that important?

Jin Yu remembered something, rolled over to the pillow, reached out and hugged a pink hellokitty piggy bank on the bedside table to the bed, which contained the change she usually spends, she held the piggy bank and glanced into the crack a few times, and couldn't see how much money there was, so she simply pulled out the keychain at the bottom and poured the money on the bed.

When I counted it, there were one hundred and fifty-three pieces.

This money is the pocket money given to her by her sisters, every time she goes to school or goes to learn to paint and forgets to bring water, Jin Zhu or Jin Yang will give her five yuan of pocket money, afraid that she will be temporarily thirsty to buy water to drink, over time, she has saved so much.

No, she should have other money.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jin Yu remembered that she also had a passbook, which was the New Year's money given to her by her brothers and sisters during the Chinese New Year.

So, she turned over the drawer of the bedside table again, and there was indeed a purple-red passbook lying in it, and the reason why she knew that this was called a passbook was because she had seen Zhou Shuixian look at it more than once with such a red book, saying that it was her life-saving money.

Jin Yu is already in the second grade of primary school, knows how to count, and also has the concept of money, looking at the Arabic numeral 1 under the 10,000 words on the passbook, and the number 6 under the thousand words, Jin Yu knows that she has 16,000 yuan, which is not a decimal number, because she knows that the second sister can only earn 3,000 yuan a month when she goes to work in the inn.

Such a large sum of money, Jin Yu remembered that the second sister said that it could be used as her tuition fee to learn painting, but the eldest sister did not agree, saying that she would save it for her, and save it until she was eighteen years old and she became an adult, saying that it could be used to study in college.

But college is still far away, and thinking that she is about to be able to go home to see her mother and brother, who she hasn't seen for two years, can she do something with the money? Buy something for mom or something for your brother?

No, the brothers and sisters don't like their mother, this money is the New Year's money given to her by the brothers and sisters, if it is spent on the mother, the brothers and sisters will definitely be unhappy.

You can't buy a gift for your mother, so it's okay to buy something for Jin Ye's little brother, right? Jin Ye is also his father's son, he didn't grow up with his brothers and sisters, I don't know how good my brothers and sisters are, I can tell him, just say that the gifts were bought by my brothers and sisters.

Not to mention that Jin Yu was tossing and turning on the bed, and after Jin Zhu returned upstairs, he saw Li Xiang staring at a cardboard box on the table in a daze with a straight face, and the cardboard box was filled with things sent by the Li family.

"Okay, why did you turn these things up again?" Jin Zhu walked up to Li Xiang and put his arms around his neck from behind.

Li Xiang touched Jinzhu's hand, "I just received a call from the old man, saying that he wanted to ask me to meet." ā€

"Now?" Jin Zhu flashed a hint of doubt.

In the past, when he was in the United States, the old man also called Li Xiang a few times and said that he wanted to meet, but Li Xiang found all kinds of excuses to shirk it, and after three times, the old man understood what Li Xiang meant, and then he didn't call again, why did he start calling again after returning to China?

Li Xiang nodded, "Zhuzhu, it's okay for me to return all these things to him, right?" ā€

With Li Xiang's original intention, he naturally didn't want anything from the Li family, but he didn't forget that the last time he was in the hospital, he offered to return the things, and the old man was out of breath on the spot.

"Forget it, he just had a heart bypass operation, and if we really want to make him angry, our sin will be great. If you don't want to see him, just call Li Ruizhong directly, ask him to persuade the old man, and also convey Ms. Li's words to Li Ruizhong, and let them think about it themselves. ā€

Li Xiang thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it, I've already rejected him anyway, and besides, we'll leave tomorrow night, it's better to have more than less." ā€

As a last resort, Li Xiang didn't want to deal with Li Ruizhong, although Li Ruizhong was more humane than the rest of the Li family in dealing with Li Xiang later, but Li Xiang always hated his earliest covetousness of Jinzhu and all kinds of coercion and temptation against him, and this impression could not be washed away.

Jin Zhu smiled, she knew Li Xiang's knot.

In the afternoon, Li wanted to send Jinzhu to the classroom and went to the company to find Qu Feng, he was going to participate in a bidding meeting for an engineering design plan today, originally such a bidding meeting was generally Qu Feng to participate, but this time Party A named Li Xiang to go, saying that the design drawing was drawn by Li Xiang, and Li Xiang personally explained it was of course better.

The first party of the project is a military tertiary hospital in the imperial capital, the project is the main building of a hospital, the other party is the initiative to find Li Xiang's design company, said that it is admiring to come, but because they are the military hospital, there are more requirements, generally a number of design companies at the same time to take over the job, each designed a plan, from which they selected the best to admit.

Li Xiang and Qu Feng didn't think much about it after hearing it, because they knew that this was the rule of the trade, and large engineering projects generally adopted this method to select the best.

The bidding meeting was held in a five-star hotel next to the hospital, Li Xiang and Qu Feng just entered the conference room on the first floor, and saw that there were already many faces of peers sitting under the rostrum, and the LED screen on the stage was showing the engineering requirements of Party A.

Li Xiang and Qu Feng found their corresponding positions and sat down, their positions were in the back corner, looking at this seating arrangement, Qu Feng had a bad premonition.

"I guess there is no hope today, it seems that all the design companies that come are big names." Qu Feng whispered to Li Xiang on the side.

Li Xiang nodded.

In fact, they have a lot of work in their hands now, but they lack a serious and shocking work, which is why Li Xiang wants to fight for this job, you must know that for this bidding meeting, he has been driving a night train for three nights in a row.

Of course, the historical theme park is also a masterpiece, but that is relatively more important is creativity, not Li Xiang's design, and most of the buildings and garden designs in it are borrowed from ancient things.

"If you come, you will be safe, and it is not bad for us to see the ability of our peers." Li Xiang quickly calmed down his mentality.

Fifteen minutes later, however, when he saw a familiar face walking towards the rostrum and sitting in the center of the podium, Lai wondered if he had been teased.

"Let's go back and get out." Li Xiang stretched his arm.

"You're crazy, are we going to get mixed up with this business now that we're quitting?" Qu Feng knew that Li Xiang was not a willful person, "Brother, what is the reason?" ā€

Li Xiang couldn't explain to Qu Feng.

But it was not appropriate to withdraw at this time, because the venue was closed, and the people on the rostrum had already begun to speak, first introducing the importance of the project, and then introducing the design companies.

When it was Li Xiang's turn to design the company, Li Pujia hooked the corners of her mouth on the stage and smiled: "Although this company has not been established for a long time, it is not famous, and their chief designer has won two nomination awards and a design award during college... ā€

Let's go, let's go, Li Pujia focused on Li Xiang's resume, in short, she held Li Xiang very high. (To be continued.) )
