Suddenly, the scene changed.
A few men sat together, hiding under a roof, nibbling on steamed buns and eating salted vegetables.
âDad! Mom! Look! Itâs Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle!â Ji Ziâang cried out.
When Li Xu and Zhang Kun heard the noise, they quickly put down their work in the kitchen and ran out.
Was it really Li Lei and Li Yong on the TV?
Looking at this scene, Li Xuâs eyes turned red. âDidnât you bring a pot and a gas stove when you left? Why are you munching on steamed buns?â
âItâs probably because the wind and rain at the scene were too strong. The gas stove canât be used.â Zhang Kun comforted her.
The gas stove wasnât windproof, and the wind at the scene was so strong that it would probably be blown out once it was lit, which was quite dangerous.
Li Xu nodded her head and stopped talking. She focused on the interview.
Ji Zixuan was woken up by the noise and entered the living room with his eyes half-closed.
On the TV, Li Yong had already been pushed out as the representative of the remaining people. Facing the camera, he wasnât afraid at all. He smiled and said, âThese vegetables are all grown at home, so theyâre not worth much. A few drivers are also sending us for free. They didnât charge us a single cent.â
Ji Zixuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, âItâs really my Eldest and Second Uncle.â
Ji Ziâang had already run to the TV and was staring at the person on it.
âWhen one side is in trouble, all the other sides will come to help. What we did was just a trivial matter,â Li Yong said.
Li Lei and the others were waiting at the back, looking a little helpless.
The two brothers were really different.
After the reporter finished interviewing Li Yong, he faced the camera and made a summary.
Li Yong seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the back of the reporter and scratched his head in embarrassment.
The reporter was almost done with his summary and was about to leave.
Li Yong didnât care about anything else. He stepped forward directly and patted the female reporterâs shoulder. He said embarrassedly, âReporter friends, I still have two more words to say. Can you please let me say a few more?â
The female reporter thought that Li Yong was going to say something impassioned and heroic, so she quickly handed the microphone to him.
Li Yong cleared his throat and said, âActually, it was my Big Sister who suggested the donation this time. She also provided most of the resources here. Her store was called Vegetable Garden, located in S City. One was in Cultural Garden, and the other was in New Cotton Garden. She only had two stores now. They sell cheap, natural, and pollution-free vegetables of good quality. If itâs convenient for the residents nearby, they can go and support the store.â
It turned out to be an advertisement. The female reporter looked embarrassed.
After Li Yong finished, the female reporter hurriedly changed the topic.
âThis Little Yong really dares to say anything!â Li Xu laughed.
Zhang Kun also laughed and looked at the three children. âYou three, hurry up and eat later. After youâre done, go to the shop and help out. Iâm afraid itâs going to be very busy today!â
The part about Li Yong on TV was over, and Zhang Kun and Li Xu returned to the kitchen.
After dinner, Zhang Kun rode his bicycle to work in a hurry.
Li Xu helped the three children change into green overalls and brought them to the shop.
From a distance, Li Xu and the three children were shocked.
There were many old men and women gathered at the entrance of the shop.
When they saw Li Xu coming over, they all surrounded her. âLi, I think I saw your brother on the morning news, and he mentioned your shop.â
âWhat do you mean by âseemsâ? Can we find another shop called Vegetable Garden in S City? Is there a second Vegetable Garden in our neighborhood?â
âYes, yes, that young man is Little Liâs younger brother. He looks quite similar.â
When Li Xu heard this, she touched her face in embarrassment.
Did she look like Li Yong?
She went forward and opened the door of the store. The people outside swarmed in.
The vegetables in the restaurant were quickly sold out, and the customers who bought them left in satisfaction.
The customers who didnât manage to buy anything were waiting at the entrance, unwilling to leave.
Fortunately, the familyâs food delivery car arrived very quickly.
The one driving was their neighborâs Third Uncle. His family owned a tractor, so it was no problem for him to drive a three-wheeled tractor.
After unloading the goods, Li Miao and the others still had to send the remaining half of the truck of vegetables to Hu Chunli.
Before they left, Li Miao whispered to Li Xu, âSis, this is the last truck. Thereâs no more in the field. We wonât be coming here tomorrow.â
The ground was still soaked in the rain, so it would be impossible to plant anything in a short time.
It would take at least three to four months to plant the vegetables and harvest them after the rain subsided. What would happen to the two shops in these three to four months?
Now that the shopâs business was so good, a dayâs rest meant losing a lot of money, right?
After resting for a long time, the business might return to how it was before.
When they were unloading the goods, Ji Ziâang told Li Miao about Li Yongâs appearance on TV.
So, Li Miao knew that the reason why there were so many people in the store was because of that news.
Li Miao was extremely worried, but Li Xu was very calm. She leaned over to Li Miaoâs ear and whispered, âDonât worry, I have a supply.â
Li Miao suddenly realized that before the greenhouse was built at home, her Eldest Sisterâs vegetables were all bought from outside. The quality was no worse than the ones grown at home.
Thinking of this, Li Miao heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, âThatâs good!â
After Li Miao and Li Xu finished their conversation, they quickly brought Third Uncle to Hu Chunliâs place.
At this moment, Hu Chunliâs shop was also filled with old people and old ladies.
Hu Chunliâs store had already sold out, and she kept consoling her customers, âEveryone, wait a little longer. The vegetables will be here soonâ¦â
The morning news was broadcast too early, and young people usually couldnât get up.
Even when they woke up, they were busy with work and didnât have time to read the news.
Only the old men and women woke up early and had nothing to do.
Therefore, those who came to support him in the morning were all old men and women, not many young people.
Seeing Li Miao come over, Hu Chunli let out a sigh of relief. She quickly said, âThe vegetables are here, everyone wait!â
??
From morning to afternoon, the store was filled with customers. The vegetables that Li Miao had sent over were all sold out at two in the afternoon.
Qin Junshan did not come today. The three boys were playing under the umbrella outside the door, and only Ji Yuanyuan was in the shop.
Li Xu took the opportunity when the children were not paying attention and there was no one in the store to bring Ji Yuanyuan to the small warehouse at the back.
Ever since they had built a greenhouse at home, the vegetables and fruits in Ji Yuanyuanâs space were rarely sold.
However, Li Xu didnât let them be empty. She kept planting.
Therefore, they had accumulated quite a lot of vegetables in the space. It shouldnât be a problem for them to survive this period of time.
The mother and daughter took out some vegetables from the space and quickly placed them on the shelf.
Li Xu started to worry.
She did have the goods, but how could he make them appear on the shelves openly?
