Chapter 333: Doghouse

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the tricycle reached the foot of the mountain, it could not go up.

Li Lei parked his car at the foot of the mountain. He held a hoe and shovel in one hand and carried a bucket on his shoulder in the other.

Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward. “Uncle, give us the shovel and hoe. We’ll carry them.”

Li Lei was afraid that they would get hurt, so he ordered, “You guys can just take the big cups in front. Second Uncle and I will take the rest.”

However, Ji Yuanyuan had already reached out his hand. “Eldest Uncle, we’ll take it. At most, we’ll just walk slowly.”

Seeing this, Li Lei had to let go of his hand. He took another bucket with his other hand and went up the mountain.

Ji Yuanyuan placed the hoe on her shoulder and followed.

Ji Zi’ang’s eyes lit up and he followed suit, placing the shovel on his shoulder.

Ji Zixuan helplessly shook his head at his brother and sister’s behavior.

He didn’t know where he got such great interest from!

Back in the Ji family, her mother had to farm and take care of the three of them.

She often took them to the fields and watched them while they worked.

At that time, they had also touched many hoes and shovels.

His heart ached for his mother, so he often took the initiative to help with the work. Although Ji Zi’ang was carefree, he had done a lot of things.

Only Yuanyuan, who was young at that time, had not done much farm work.

It had only been a few years since they moved to the city, but the two little guys seemed to have forgotten about the past.

Li Yong followed Li Lei’s example and held a bucket in each hand.

However, Li Lei carried it with ease. When it came to Li Yong, he was so tired that he grimaced in pain.

“Hurry up and follow.” Li Yong said.

Ji Zixuan quickly grabbed a large glass of water from the front of the tricycle and followed her.

“Don’t run around later. Just stay around us, understand?” Li Yong panted. “If you don’t listen to me, I won’t let you come here again!”

“Understood, Second Uncle!” the children nodded in unison.

It was June, the time when the weeds were growing wildly.

The hill was covered in waist-length weeds, and there were a few trees scattered here and there.

There was a small path in the middle, and the weeds had been removed. As a result, the road was a little bumpy and uneven.

“You’re not allowed to go to these places with weeds,” Li Yong instructed. “If there are any traps inside, your life will be in danger if you fall in.”

Ji Zi’ang sighed. “Second Uncle, you should save your energy. If you can’t move it, we won’t help you!”

Li Yong wanted to chide him, but he was indeed a little tired.

He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, the road was much easier to walk.

From the middle of the mountain, all the weeds had been removed, and the trees had been cut down. The trunks were placed to the side.

The frames of several greenhouses had been built at the top. Below the greenhouses, several workers were waving hoes to plow the land.

The black soil was turned up by hoes or shovels, and the soil was smashed open. Under the sun, it quickly turned into a soft dark yellow.

There was a well in the middle.

This small hill was not tall, so it was not strange that water could be produced.

Looking around, the entire mountaintop had already been properly managed.

It would probably become an oasis in a few months.

At the thought of this, Ji Yuanyuan’s face revealed a smile.

Li Lei and Li Yong put a few water buckets aside and called a few workers. “Uncles, take a rest and drink some water!”

When the uncles heard this, they quickly came over with their hoes.

After drinking the water, Li Yong and Li Lei started to work again with the other uncle.

The weather in June was quite hot, and there was nothing fun to do on the mountain.

After staying there for a short while, Ji Zi’ang wilted.

“I want to go home!” he mumbled as he sat under the shade of a tree.

Ji Zixuan took a leaf and fanned them. “Which home do you want to go back to?

Is it Grandpa and Grandma’s house or our own house?”

Ji Zi’ang blinked and whispered, “Our own home!”

Ji Yuanyuan laughed at him. “You were the one who insisted on coming yesterday. Big brother and I only came to accompany you. You’ve only been here for a short time and you’re already thinking of going home?”

Ji Zi’ang sighed faintly. “Then we can go back to Grandpa’s and Grandma’s house!”

Ji Yuanyuan laughed at his reaction. “In the afternoon, Uncle will be going to the county to deliver vegetables to our family’s restaurant. If you want to go home, he should be able to send you home.”

Currently, there were four stores, and the sales of each store were quite good.

One trip a day was already insufficient.

Basically, he would deliver one at seven in the morning and another one at one or two in the afternoon.

Ji Zi’ang also reacted and asked tentatively, “Why don’t we go home in the afternoon?”

“Then you don’t want to see your Younger Brother and Sister?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.

Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang looked up and sighed. “I miss my mother!”

What did he mean by missing his mother? He probably missed the popsicles at home.

Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan exchanged helpless looks.

At noon, the three of them packed up their small bags. In the afternoon, while Li Lei went to the city to deliver the vegetables, they took a taxi home.

When they got home, Ji Zi’ang eagerly took out a popsicle from the refrigerator.

He turned on the fan and TV, leaned on the sofa, and sighed. “A golden or silver nest is not as good as the doghouse at home!”

The next day, at n pm, Li Xu followed the big car that she called over and headed to Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao’s greenhouse.

Zhang Kun stayed behind to look after the store, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang did their homework at home, and Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan along.

Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao’s greenhouses were also expanded after the new year, and now the production and quality were stable.

The driver was Meng Qingxin.

When Li Xu needed a car, she would contact Meng Qingxin.

When Meng Qingxin was free, he would help her. When he was not free, he would look for other friends’ car.

Li Xu was an in-law and was easy to talk to. Plus, she gave them money in time, so they never lacked money.

Therefore, Meng Qingxin was quite willing to help her.

“Uncle Meng, they’re done. We’ll leave after we’ve arrived and loaded them into the car. As usual, I’ll pay you two portions if you help load and unload the goods.” Li Xu said in the car.

“All right!” Meng Qingxin said.

Zhang Yao’s greenhouse was further away from the main road, so Li Xu would always go to Zhang Yao’s first.

However, in the past, the vegetables picked from the shed would be placed on the ground in a full pile. “Why were there only so little today?”

Logically speaking, Zhang Yao had called her in the morning and had been harvesting since then, so she should have picked a lot by now.

Meng Qing stopped the car and Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan out of the car.

The moment she got out of the car, Li Xu saw an old lady standing on the ground.

When she saw Li Xu’s big car, she quickly waved her hand and said, “The vegetables in the field are all gone, you guys can go back!”

Li Xu looked at the old lady with a strange expression. “You know me? You know that I’m here to look for Zhang Yao?”

The old lady smacked her lips and did not say anything.

“You must be Wenwen’s Grandmother, right?” Ji Yuanyuan reacted and asked tentatively..
