63 Chapter 62, What a Good Match

Downstairs, Li Xu did not go to the market. Instead, she waited at the entrance of the unit.

What if Zhang Kun came over and did not see her? If he knocked on the door, wouldn’t he bump into Li Yong?

It was still early spring, and the weather was very cold.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhang Kun came over.

Seeing that Li Xu had waited downstairs and the tricyle was already filled with vegetables, he asked in puzzlement, “Why didn’t you wait for me to come over?”

Li Xu smiled but didn’t say anything.

Zhang Kun rode the bike and headed to the market.

Li Xu sat at the back and looked at Zhang Kun’s back with a pensive expression.

Upstairs, Li Yong looked at the scene from upstairs with a contemplative expression. Looking at his master’s familiarity, it shouldn’t be the first time.

Zhang Kun and Li Xu soon arrived at the entrance of the market. Zhang Kun reached out and took all the vegetables down, wanting to bring them all to Li Xu’s stall.

However, Li Xu stopped him.

She grabbed Zhang Kun’s arm and said in a low voice, “Don’t come over again in the morning.”

Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment and asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”

“I just feel that it’s too troublesome for you. I only work for a few hours a day and spend the rest of the time at home. It’s not tiring for me. Moreover, I’m a single woman. It’s easy for others to misunderstand me when they see it.”

Just as Li Xu finished speaking, Zhang Kun frowned, “What’s wrong? Did someone say something about you?”

Seeing that Zhang Kun had misunderstood, Li Xu hurriedly shook her head, “No, no one said anything. I just feel that it’s not good.”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xu lowered her head, she said in a low voice, “I have three children and don’t plan to remarry in the future. It doesn’t matter to me what others say. But you are still young. I don’t want to affect you. I know that you feel sorry for the four of us, but our lives are really not as bitter as you think.”

Li Xu said what she wanted to say tactfully.

This way, no one would be embarrassed, and Zhang Kun could understand what she meant. This was an excuse that she had thought about for a whole night before coming up with one.

However, she felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Zhang Kun’s eyes.

After Li Xu finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene was a little silent.

Zhang Kun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still nodded, “I understand, since I’m already here today, I’ll help you carry it in.”

As he said this, he did not wait for Li Xu to speak again. He directly lifted the bamboo basket and carried it to Li Xu’s stall.

After putting it down, Zhang Kun left.

Li Xu was still very busy, but she was a little absent-minded. She had given the wrong change several times, and it was only when Liang Huimei reminded her that she realized.

The vegetables were all sold out, and Li Xu could be considered to have breathed a sigh of relief.

“What’s wrong? You’ve been absent-minded all morning. Did you quarrel with your man?” Liang Huimei asked jokingly.

Li Xu’s expression became serious, “Sister Liang, don’t joke about this anymore. He’s just a friend of my brother’s, there’s nothing else.”

Liang Hui Mei saw Li Xu’s serious expression and knew that she was speaking the truth. She said, “You’re so stubborn, Sigh, what a good match.”

Although she hadn’t seen him many times, she could tell that the man was interested in Li Xu. He was a good-looking man. One look and she could tell that he was better than Li Xu’s dead ex-husband.

She heard that he was also a chef and worked in the Government’s Canteen. Nowadays, being chefs were so good that they did not have to worry about food and clothing.

“He’s still young and doesn’t have children. You can’t joke about this,” Li Xu said as she packed her things and rushed home.

At the Li family’s dining table, Li Yong took a spoon and added a spoonful of tomato and egg soup to Ji Zixuan’s bowl before asking, “Has uncle Zhang Kun been here again recently?”

Ji Zixuan shook his head, “No, he hasn’t been here for a long time.”

Li Yong secretly pursed his lips. It seemed like she was hiding it from the children.

“Tell me honestly, what do you three think of Uncle Zhang Kun?” Li Yong asked with a serious expression.

Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes had already started rolling when Li Yong asked about Zhang Kun just now.

Therefore, when Li Yong asked about their opinion of Zhang Kun, Ji Yuanyuan raised his hand enthusiastically and said, “I think Uncle Zhang Kun is especially good.”

Ji Zi’ang nodded his head indifferently, “It’s pretty good. The snacks given during the new year are really delicious. I wonder if we can still eat them during the new year this year.”

Both of the children expressed their views. Only Ji Zixuan remained silent as Li Yong shifted his gaze to Ji Zixuan.

Ji Zixuan was already 11 years old this year. In addition, he was more mature than his peers, so when Li Yong asked this question, he seemed to have vaguely learned something.

Thus, he lowered his head and slowly ate the noodles in his bowl without saying anything.

Seeing that Ji Zixuan did not speak, he did not even look at him. Li Yong could not hold it in any longer and ask, “Zixuan, what do you think?”

When the question was put on his head, Ji Zixuan raised his head and looked at Li Yong seriously, “We’ve only met Uncle Zhang a few times, so I don’t know him very well.”

With that, he put down his chopsticks. “Thank you, Second Uncle, I’m full.”

He turned around and walked to his bedroom.

Li Yong looked at Ji Zixuan’s back and was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a long while, he sighed. Forget it, I’ll just let nature take its course. I don’t care anymore.

Li Xu returned very quickly. Li Yong knew that Li Xu did not want him to know about this. Otherwise, she would not have run downstairs to wait for Zhang Kun at six in the morning.

Therefore, he tactfully did not ask any more questions.

Li Xu cleaned the house at home. After lunch, she brought the children to the department store.

In the department store, there was a floor that specialized in selling household appliances. Refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, tape recorders, table lamps…

There were all kinds of household appliances. Li Xu brought the children straight to the place where the washing machines were sold.

Seeing such a big family, the salesperson also knew that this family was sincere in wanting to buy them. He immediately went forward and asked, “Do you want to buy a washing machine?”

Li Xu nodded, “I want to buy one, how much is it?”

The salesperson enthusiastically introduced, “We have all kinds of prices here. There are 300 yuan, 500 yuan, 800 Yuan, and 1,000 yuan.”

Li Xu was secretly speechless. Even the cheapest one cost 300 yuan.

“Then let’s look at the 300 Yuan one,” Li Xu quickly said.

Although it was expensive, since she had already promised the child, she had to keep her word.

This way, the child would be motivated when he studied.

“Madam, I don’t recommend you to buy the 300 Yuan one. Because this 300 Yuan one is semi-automatic. You need to change the water and drain it yourself. It’s very troublesome. “It’s better to buy a better one. This 500-yuan one is not bad. It’s fully automatic. If you think it’s good, I can also apply for a discount for you.” The salesperson was very eloquent.

Ji Zi’ang immediately said, “Mom, let’s take a look at the 500-Yuan one.”
