Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 293
Early the next morning.

Xu Lingjun opened his eyes, glanced at Li Xiuzhi who was deeply asleep, and smiled slightly.

Last night, in order to relieve Li Xiuzhi's body and mind, he tried his best, and even cheated with Tai Chi Dan Jin, and finally made Li Xiuzhi fall asleep contentedly.

He turned his head away, stretched out his hand to help Xu Yiyi tuck the corner of the quilt, who was sleeping soundly, then slipped out of the quilt lightly, got dressed quickly and went out, and started to work in the restaurant.

A good day starts with a delicious breakfast.

When the extremely tempting food aroma wafted in the restaurant, Li Xiuzhi walked into the restaurant with a radiant face holding Xu Yiyi in her arms.

She greeted the guests and walked into the kitchen.

"Get up! I made haggis soup and biscuits for you, eat it while it's hot!"

Seeing Li Xiuzhi's figure, Xu Lingjun immediately said with a smile.

After speaking, he continued to work in front of the stove.

Because the food sold in restaurants is affordable, not much more expensive than eating at home, and the most important thing is that it is very delicious.

So gradually, most of the herdsmen got used to coming to the restaurant to eat, and at the same time, the business of the restaurant became more and more popular day by day.

Faced with such a situation, he is already considering selling in limited quantities.

Otherwise, how would he have time to spend with his wife and children!
Li Xiuzhi put down Xu Yiyi, walked to the thermos pot, and opened the lid with her hand.

In an instant, a spicy and tempting smell spread out.

In the kitchen, a few kitchen helpers could not help swallowing when they smelled the smell, their faces were full of envy.

Although some meat dishes are also sold in restaurants, they are still a small amount. Most of them are pasta and vegetarian dishes.

What's more, the food that Xu Lingjun made for Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi was a lot of food. The most important thing is that all the ingredients come from the system store, which is not at the same level as the food sold in restaurants.

Not long after, Li Xiuzhi took the greedy cat Xu Yiyi to finish breakfast, then handed Xu Yiyi to Shi Dongmei to look after, and then went to the store to get busy.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Xu Lingjun put down the spatula, went back to the house and changed his clothes, then took the textbooks and rode a big green horse to the Ranch Primary School for class.

At 12:[-] noon, he rushed back and continued to work on the restaurant.

At the same time, he also asked for leave from the school to prepare for the trip to the capital.

Time flies to night.

Just after dinner, Li Xiuzhi was busy packing Xu Lingjun's luggage.

Xu Yiyi pestered Xu Lingjun, wanting to go to the capital with him.

"Papa, Papa, I want to go too!"

"Hey, wait until next time Dad will take you with Mom!"

"No, I'm going now."

"Yi, are you disobedient?"

"Hmph! Papa is bad, I don't like papa anymore."

"Forehead"

"Ma Ma, Papa bullied me."

"is it?"

"Well, he doesn't take me to play."

"Yiyi, good boy, your father is not here to play, but to do business. You and your mother will wait for your father to come back at home, okay?"

"All right!"

Xu Yiyi pursed her mouth and said with a displeased face.

Xu Lingjun looked at Xu Yiyi with some distress, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiuzhi, why don't you go with me!"

Xu Yiyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Li Xiuzhi expectantly.

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips, turned around and continued to pack her luggage, and answered an irrelevant question: "I packed two clean clothes for you, which should be enough for you to change and wash."

"Also, I took two packs of goji berries in the store, and you take them over to give to Dad. These things are good for the health of the elderly."

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Xu Yiyi knew that Li Xiuzhi would definitely not agree. She stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, lowered her head and climbed onto the bed, buried her face in the quilt, sullen.

"Yiyi, I'll bring you something delicious when Dad comes back. You stay at home with Mom obediently."

Xu Lingjun shook his head helplessly, patted Xu Yiyi's back lightly, and said softly.

"uh-huh!"

Xu Yiyi twisted her body vigorously, losing her temper.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about her, it will be fine later."

Li Xiuzhi came over and said angrily.

"Hmph! Mama is the worst!"

Xu Yiyi jumped up from the bed and looked at Li Xiuzhi angrily.

"Xu Yiyi, is your butt itchy!"

Li Xiuzhi scolded with a straight face.

Xu Yiyi shrank her neck, and hurriedly threw herself into Xu Lingjun's arms, pouted with an aggrieved expression on her face.

"Okay! Okay! Don't be afraid, your mother is scaring you."

Xu Lingjun couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, there was nothing he could do about the mother and daughter.

Li Xiuzhi rolled her eyes, turned around and walked out to boil water for a bath in the west wing.

"Papa, are you going to see grandpa? What does grandpa look like?"

Seeing Li Xiuzhi leaving, Xu Yiyi immediately sat up from Xu Lingjun's arms, raised her head and asked curiously.

"Forehead"

Xu Lingjun was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

After all, apart from the first time he looked at the memory of his predecessor, he had already forgotten it after more than four years.

Fortunately, the memory of his predecessor can be recalled and checked at any time. After a quick check, he described it carefully to Xu Yiyi.

After hearing Xu Lingjun's description, Xu Yiyi climbed out of bed excitedly, came back with a brush and paper, and lay down on the bed to draw.

Soon, a little old man wearing glasses appeared on the drawing paper.

Xu Lingjun looked at the portrait with panda eyes, couldn't help laughing and said, "Yiyi's painting is really good, can you give this painting to grandpa?"

"Okay! Then you must tell grandpa that I painted it!"

With a smug look in Xu Yiyi's eyes, she nodded solemnly and agreed.

"Well, Dad will."

Xu Lingjun nodded seriously, and carefully rolled up the drawing paper.

"Papa, grandpa, will he not like my paintings?"

Xu Yiyi bit her finger and thought about it, then asked worriedly.

"How could it be! Yiyi's paintings are so good, your grandpa will definitely like them very much."

Xu Lingjun replied without hesitation, not embarrassed at all.

"Hee hee! That's fine."

A bright smile appeared on Xu Yiyi's face, and then pestered Xu Lingjun to talk about his grandfather's past.

Xu Lingjun hugged Xu Yiyi in his arms, and slowly told the story of the past.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the two of them, one big and one small, looked very warm.

The night is getting dark!
After taking a shower, Li Xiuzhi threw herself into Xu Lingjun's arms in her silk pajamas, as if she wanted to vent all the uneasiness in her heart.

Xu Lingjun silently comforted Li Xiuzhi with actions, and did not calm down until late at night.

The next day, the sky was gloomy.

Xu Lingjun accompanied Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi to finish breakfast, and then went to the county seat together in a carriage.

Outside the bus station, Xu Yiyi was uncharacteristically, holding Xu Lingjun's neck tightly in silence, and didn't even look at the food stalls on the street.

Li Xiuzhi stood quietly beside Xu Lingjun, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, with perfect and enchanting lines, plump and attractive.

"Lingjun, how many days are you going this time?"

Guo Shuzi asked with some serious thoughts.

Since the news spread that Xu Lingjun was going to the capital to meet his father, he and many herdsmen were a little worried about whether Xu Lingjun would go to some American country with his father.

If Xu Lingjun really left, how would they get used to it?
When he thought that he would never be able to eat Xu Lingjun's food in the future, he couldn't feel happy.

Moreover, the people in the village now either rely on the materials provided by Xu Lingjun to hunt and breed, or plan to learn how to do business from Xu Lingjun.

What's more, the seven or eight families in their team are still counting on their girls to work in Xu Lingjun's store to earn money to support their families!
It can be said that the people in Fuchang Village cannot do without Xu Lingjun at all.

"Probably go for three or four days! No more than a week at most."

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly and spoke.

He understood what Guo Shuzi was thinking, and this was what he had been trying to achieve all these years.

Otherwise, it is impossible for him to open a shop directly in the village not long after the reform and opening up.

According to his vision, Fuchang Village will become his base camp, and he will also lead the folks in Fuchang Village to become the first village in China.

With the system in place, he has no pressure on such a goal.

Besides, he just wanted to spend his life with his wife and children well.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Guo Bizi heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said.

As he said that, his eyes narrowed, and he joked with a smile: "I heard that your father is a billionaire in the United States, so you don't plan to go there to enjoy the blessing?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingjun suddenly remembered what Li Xiuzhi had taught Xu Yiyi before, and said with a smile, "How much money he has is his, not mine. I don't want any of it. This is called ambition."

"Yi, don't you think so?"

"Yes! Mama said that we have to spend the money we earn."

Xu Yiyi nodded vigorously, and said seriously.

Li Xiuzhi looked at the father and daughter tenderly, with a nice smile on her lips.

"Okay, as expected of a cultural person, speaking is of a level."

Guo Bizi praised sincerely.

As a herdsman who has kept horses for most of his life, he knows the importance of ambition.

If a person has no ambition, he will never be able to stand up and be a man.

While speaking, an announcement sounded in the bus station, informing passengers to get on the bus.

Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi looked at each other, handed Xu Yiyi over, and said softly, "It's time for me to get in the car, you and Yiyi should stay at home and wait for me to come back."

"Ok!"

Li Xiuzhi nodded slightly in agreement, and hugged Xu Yiyi tightly.

"Papa, papa!"

Xu Yiyi pouted and looked at Xu Lingjun reluctantly.

"Good girl, Yiyi, Dad will be back in a few days, and I'll bring you delicious food when I come back!"

Xu Lingjun rubbed Xu Yiyi's little head and said softly.

After speaking, he walked into the station with his luggage and boarded the train.

"Papa! Ah woo~papa~"

Xu Yiyi looked at Xu Lingjun's back, and couldn't help crying anymore.

Xu Lingjun's footsteps stopped, and he almost couldn't help turning his head and walking back.

Since Xu Yiyi was born, he hadn't tried to leave Xu Yiyi for more than a day.

However, he also knows that these things are inevitable. When the child grows up, he must let the child learn to be independent.

In the end, he hardened his mind, walked quickly into the waiting platform, and boarded the bus to the city.

The car cut off the sound from the outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the chair with a dull expression.

Before he knew it, there was an inseparable existence in his life again.

It's hard to imagine how Xu Yiyi will feel when he grows up and gets married.

Soon after, the car started slowly and drove out from the station.

Suddenly, Xu Lingjun got up abruptly, opened the car window forcefully, stuck his head out, and looked at Li Xiuzhi who kept chasing after the car.

His heart tightened and he shouted loudly, "Don't run away, don't run away."

Gradually, as the car accelerated, a cloud of dust rose behind the car, blocking his sight.

Vaguely, he saw Li Xiuzhi parked in the middle of the road with Xu Yiyi on her back.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, with mist in his eyes, and the warm images of these years were all in his mind.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for!
At this moment, he really had the urge to jump out of the car and go back.

But thinking that he was the father of the predecessor after all, he occupied the body of the predecessor, so he had to bear a little responsibility, otherwise, it would be unreasonable.

never mind!

Just this time, no matter where you go in the future, you must bring your wife and children with you.

He closed the car window, sat on the chair, took a deep breath, and made a decision in his heart.

Then, he ran all the way, took the car wash and took the plane, until after three o'clock in the afternoon, he finally arrived at the Beijing airport smoothly.

He had just walked out of the airport, and he hadn't had time to search for the person who picked him up.

Suddenly, a woman in fashionable clothes, a hat and sunglasses walked up to him and said with a smile, "You are Mr. Xu Lingjun!"

"Yes, I am."

Xu Lingjun frowned, nodded and said.

"Well, my name is Song Jiaoying, and I'm your father's secretary."

There was a strange look in Song Jiaoying's eyes, and she said enthusiastically.

She originally thought that Xu Lingjun would look rustic and timid, but she didn't expect Xu Lingjun to be so calm and refined.

However, why doesn't this look like the chairman?
Could it be that the people from the travel agency found the wrong person?
A few doubts flashed in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Hello! Secretary Song, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xu Lingjun looked at the woman with exquisite makeup and expensive clothes in front of him, smelled the slightly strong perfume in the air, and was slightly in a daze for a while.

If it weren't for this woman's dress style, which was somewhat retro and ladylike, he almost thought he had returned to his previous life.

"Please follow me, the chairman is waiting for you at the hotel."

Seeing Xu Lingjun staring at her, Song Jiaoying felt a little proud.

It seems that the chairman's eldest son is just a bumpkin who has never seen the world!

"Ok!"

Xu Lingjun nodded slightly in agreement, then followed Song Jiaoying out of the airport, took the hotel's welcome car back to the hotel.

Along the way, he looked at the environment outside the car window with great interest, compared with the environment in the courtyard before.

Basically, the changes are not very big, but there are more tall buildings.

Looking at it, he suddenly thought, is this the same world as the courtyard house?

Perhaps, he should take the opportunity to visit the original courtyard.

Song Jiaoying looked at Xu Lingjun looking out the window, feeling a little puzzled and depressed.

Doesn't she look as good as those buildings?
