Chapter 270： If not discharged

Chapter 270 If You Don't Retire from the Army

Back home, Li Xu brought Zhang Kun's clothes and handed them to Li Lei: "Go take a shower and change your clothes."

Zhang Kun's height is not much different from Li Lei's, and the clothes should fit.

Li Lei silently took the clothes and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower comfortably.

When I came out of the bathroom, the three children had already returned.

Seeing Li Lei there, Ji Ziang happily rushed over: "Uncle, why are you here?"

Li Lei said with a smile: "I can't come if it's okay?"

Ji Ziang pulled Li Lei's clothes: "Yes, we welcome you at any time in our family!"

He pulled a bit and said strangely, "Uncle, you seem to be wearing my dad's clothes!"

Li Lei had something in his heart, reached out and rubbed Ji Ziang's head, and looked towards the kitchen.

After a pause, he ran to the kitchen and helped Li Xu fight.

Seeing how busy Li Xu was, he didn't know how to say something, so he simply didn't say anything.

It was only six o'clock when dinner was done.

As soon as the food was served, Zhang Kun came back.

"Have you eaten yet?" Li Xu asked quickly.

Zhang Kun shook his head: "I didn't eat it, I was in a hurry to come back, and I left after cooking for them."

In the past, Zhang Kun waited until all the employees had eaten before leaving, and while he was waiting, he also ate with him.

There has been a lot of rain in the past two days, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to walk if it was too late.

Li Xu turned around and went to the kitchen again to get Zhang Kun the tableware.

Zhang Kun sat down beside Ji Ziang and said hello to Li Lei: "When did you come?"

Li Lei whispered: "It's not long since I came here!"

Li Xu came back from the kitchen and instructed: "Just stay tonight, don't run back and forth, this weather is not safe."

Li Lei nodded silently: "Okay, just tomorrow I will go directly to Xiaoning!"

After eating, Li Xu and Zhang Kun packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Kun urged her: "You go out and talk to Xiaolei, I think he has something to do with you!"

Li Xu looked back and saw that Li Lei was sitting on the sofa, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her face was dull.

Li Xu took the towel next to him and wiped his hands, walked slowly to the living room, and sat down beside Li Lei.

Li Lei came back to his senses and glanced at Li Xu.

"Is something wrong with me?" Li Xu was the first to speak.

She knew that this younger brother had a sullen personality and liked to keep everything in his heart.

Li Lei nodded, "Yes, I want to discuss something with you!"

"What's the matter? In the greenhouse?"

Li Lei nodded again: "Mr. Liu, who has been working with us, Xiaoyong and I have been looking for him. He said that the vegetables in the cold storage can't be shipped out, the cold storage is full, and we can't receive our vegetables in the near future. The water in it can’t be drained out, let alone the batch that hasn’t grown up yet, we didn’t invest much money, and several batches have already matured, so it’s a pity that it’s just rotten in the ground.”

Li Xu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How many?"

"There are also some tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants that add up to over 40,000 catties!"

It takes half a year for tomatoes to grow, so I won't say how much effort was spent in the middle. I don't know how much fertilizer is used. It's such a pity that it's so rotten in the ground.

"We can't sell that much at the regular price, what about the price reduction? Even if a pound is sold for a dime or two, at least we can get some money back, and these vegetables will not be wasted, they are all grown with hard work." Li Lei said a little Discuss earnestly with Li Xu.

He has been in the army for so many years, and he has developed a habit: he does not see waste.

He felt extremely distressed when he thought that more than 40,000 catties of vegetables were about to rot in the ground.

They have just eaten a few years of their full meal?

At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan walked to the side and silently turned on the TV.

It's seven o'clock, it's time for the news broadcast.

Li Xu shook his head: "The market in the community is so big, even if the price is reduced, the two stores will sell at most two kilograms a day, more than 40,000 kilograms, and it may take close to a month to sell out. This season, the temperature is so high , these vegetables can't be kept for a month at all, at most a week or two, and they will still be rotten by then."

After Li Xu finished speaking, both brother and sister were silent.

Ji Ziang and Ji Zixuan also knew that their mother and uncle were discussing important matters, and they watched TV earnestly without saying a word.

"At ten o'clock this morning, the Yangtze River has reached the highest water level in history, and the Yangtze River levee has reached the most critical moment. Protecting the Yangtze River levee is to protect the people's lives and protect the 49,000 square kilometers..."

Hearing the voice in the news network, Li Lei looked up at the TV in surprise.

He murmured a little: "The situation in City H is so serious now?"

"As of this morning, a total of more than 100,000 troops have been assembled. This is the largest gathering of troops in the Yangtze River since the Battle of Crossing the River..."

Hearing this sentence, Li Lei's expression became even more excited, and he whispered again: "The army I was in before I retired also participated in the rescue."

Ji Yuanyuan blinked, looked at Li Lei, and said, "If Uncle hadn't been discharged from the army, we might still be able to see Uncle on the TV today!"

When Li Lei listened to his niece's words, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Yes, if he hadn't been discharged from the army, he should still be fighting alongside his comrades now, right?

Li Lei's eyes were fixed on the TV screen, trying to find a familiar person on the screen.

Zhang Kun finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen.

He stood behind Li Lei and patted Li Lei on the shoulder comfortingly.

On the TV screen, young soldiers carrying sandbags and running in the torrent.

The immature faces were full of embarrassment.

The scene was so shocking that not only Li Lei, but even a few children were watching TV intently.

Unfortunately, until the end of the news, Li Lei could not find a familiar face on the TV screen.

Ji Yuanyuan took the remote control and turned off the TV.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became silent.

Looking at Li Lei's face, Li Xu suddenly let out a long sigh.

After a while, she asked, "Are you going to find Xiaoning tomorrow?"

Li Lei nodded: "Well Stop by and see her!"

"Well, I want all the food at home, but the price can't be calculated as before, and I don't have that much money now. It's 25 cents, a total of 10,000 yuan. Go back and ask your parents, Can you do it! Just tomorrow, I will ask Xiaoning for me if her father can find a few cars for a long distance ride!"

Hearing Li Xu's words, Li Lei looked at her in surprise: "What do you mean? This dish can't be sold, what are you buying it for? My parents are in a hurry, yes, but they can't transfer the risk to you! No! , don't ask your parents, I don't agree."
