Chapter 378 Two Daughters-in-law
Li Guohong came close to Li Guoru and read the news report with some excitement.
The most important of these is the railway construction in Yinjiang District, which will extend four subway stations from Yinjiang South Station, which was originally the terminal station.
After confirming this, somehow, Li Guohong's originally excited mood suddenly calmed down.
It's like it was once just a small sailboat, which would be tossed around violently when encountering light winds and waves.
Now Li Guohong has become a big ship in the sea. Facing such winds and waves, he no longer has such drastic emotional ups and downs.
However, Li Guohong was still curious and asked: "If this railway is built, how much will the surrounding housing prices increase?"
"At least it can double, right?" Li Guoru estimated, stroking his chin. "After the subway station was built, the surrounding housing prices rose sharply, more than doubled. How much did you spend on the storefront?"
"Including the loan, more than four million, right?" Li Guohong blinked and calculated in his mind.
Li Guoru laughed and shook his head at this time: "Well, this is a great turnaround. Once the subway is completed, your net worth will be at least 10 million, not to mention that you have a house in Bihai Lanting."
Hearing this, Li Guohong also smiled, but there was not much arrogance on his face. After all, he knew very well who brought all these.
Li Guoru was naturally very clear about this, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again: "You really gave birth to a good son. After decades of hard work, it can be said that the hardship has finally paid off."
"Then you are still there to take care of me, big brother."
"Oh, now you know how to compliment me?" Li Guoru said with a chuckle, "When you were young, I said I wanted to take you into business, but you refused."
"I know my own limitations." Li Guohong said with a wry smile, "Now I feel it's a bit troublesome to manage a hot pot restaurant. I'm not cut out for running a business."
After confirming the good news, the two brothers chatted in the office.
In the evening, Li Guohong was treated to a barbecue and beer by Li Guoru.
The next day, Li Guohong was awakened by Lin Xiuhong. After washing and packing, they prepared to leave for Li Luo's parent-teacher meeting.
Oh, no, it’s Xixi and Zhusheng’s parent-teacher meeting.
……
Early in the morning.
Li Luo slowly opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling of the bedroom, and felt the crowded atmosphere on the bed.
The alarm of the mobile phone rings in my ears.
But the phone was on the bedside table at the moment, and given his distance, he couldn't reach it at all.
But he didn't need to worry about it.
The alarm clock rang for only a moment before an arm as white and tender as a lotus root reached out from under the quilt, touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, and turned off the alarm clock.
Then, the owner of the arm turned around and leaned into Li Luo's arms, looking for a more comfortable position.
Li Luo felt Yan Zhusheng's head nodding on his arm, so he had no choice but to raise his hand, let her rest her head on his arm, and tuck his arm under her head.
On the other hand, sandwiched between two sides, Ying Chanxi did not fight for the quilt when sleeping in the middle of the night.
Especially since Xu Youyu treated her like a doll or pillow and held her to sleep, she really couldn't move.
Li Luo turned his head to look at Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu, and suddenly laughed.
At this time, Ying Chanxi had also been awakened by the alarm clock. He stretched out a little hand from under the quilt, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Li Luo.
After noticing that Li Luo was also looking at her, and realizing that she had slept in the same bed with Li Luo again last night, Ying Chanxi's cheeks flushed slightly, and then she quickly buried her face in Li Luo's side, embarrassed to keep looking at him.
Seeing this, Li Luo simply raised his arms and hugged Ying Chanxi into his arms.
Then he raised his hand and touched the hair of the two girls, feeling the fulfillment of having girls hugging him on both sides, and said softly, "Get up and go for a morning run. There is a parent-teacher meeting waiting for us today."
"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi leaned in Li Luo's arms, enjoying it for a while before nodding obediently and raising his head from Li Luo's arms.
As a result, as soon as he looked up, Ying Chanxi saw Yan Zhusheng opposite him was also hugged by Li Luo. He immediately puffed up his lips and poked Yan Zhusheng's face with his hand: "Zhusheng, get up, don't sleep anymore."
"Hmm..." Yan Zhusheng pretended to open his eyes in a daze, blinked, looked at Ying Chanxi opposite him, then rubbed Li Luo's chest, and did not forget to say to Ying Chanxi, "Good morning, Xixi."
Ying Chanxi: “…”
"You, you better get up quickly, otherwise Li Luo won't be able to get out of bed."
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded in response, and finally left Li Luo's arms. After lifting the quilt, he turned over and got out of bed, looking at the two people lying on the bed, "You guys should get up too."
Ying Chanxi, who originally wanted to stay in the bed secretly for a while, felt embarrassed to continue hiding when he saw Yan Zhusheng staring at them. He had to lift his upper body from Li Luo's arms and get up with Li Luo.
The three of them went to the bathroom to wash up together. Li Luo looked at the three people standing side by side in the mirror, his face full of emotion.
Before they knew it, the four of them seemed to sleep together more and more frequently.
In the past, this might only happen once every few months.
It happens almost every week now, and everyone seems to have gradually become accustomed to it.
Even Ying Chanxi is slowly not caring about sleeping together anymore, as long as she can sleep next to Li Luo.
Yan Zhusheng naturally didn't care about this.
As for Xu Youyu...
After washing his face, Li Luo walked out of the bathroom and looked at Xu Youyu who was still sleeping in.
Recalling last night, when Xu Youyu seemed to be hugging Ying Chanxi, but in fact he used his hands and feet to secretly pass over Ying Chanxi and tease him under the quilt, Li Luo smiled helplessly.
It seems that the senior is enjoying it.
"Senior, get up." Li Luo came to the bedside, gently patted Xu Youyu's face, leaned over and said to her, "There is a parents' meeting today, and the student union has tasks to do, so don't be late."
"Got it." Xu Youyu struggled in the quilt for a while, then continued to sleep, mumbling softly on Li Luo's bed, "You guys go first, I'll come later."
Seeing that the senior student was unwilling to get up for the time being, Li Luo ignored her and let her continue sleeping in her bed.
After Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng changed into their school uniforms, the three of them went to school first, ran around the playground a few times, and after having breakfast in the school cafeteria and leaving their schoolbags in the classroom, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi went to the school gate to gather.
As the president of the Student Union, Ying Chanxi must arrive at the school gate early to be responsible for directing the members of the Student Union and managing the parent reception work here.
The school starts morning self-study at 7:00 in the morning, and parents enter the school at 7:30.
It’s just that some parents like to arrive early, so they have to wait for a while at the school gate.
For example, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong.
"Why did you two come so early again?"
When Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong walked to the school gate, Li Luo said helplessly: "The gate doesn't open until 7:30."
"It's early in the morning and there's nothing else to do." Lin Xiuhong walked up to Li Luo and raised her hand to straighten his collar.
Although they no longer run the breakfast shop, the couple still retains their early-rising biological clock.
Although I didn't get up as much as three or four o'clock as before, I still got up around six o'clock.
This routine is quite regular and healthy, so Li Luo didn't have much to say and just chatted casually with his mother.
At this time, Ying Chanxi had already walked over with tea and obediently handed it to Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong.
Lin Xiuhong took the tea and took a sip, then put the cup into Li Luo's hand and asked him to hold it. She turned around, walked in front of Ying Chanxi, and smiled as she helped her straighten her collar.
Feeling Lin Xiuhong's thoughtfulness and care, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips, immersed in this warm and happy atmosphere, and enjoyed Lin Xiuhong's care.
It was as if she really had a mother who came to attend a parent-teacher conference for her.
"Today I am in a good mood." Li Guohong took the teacup from Ying Chanxi, took a sip, and then exhaled, saying slowly, "There is a good thing. I guess you haven't paid much attention to it, so you probably don't know about it yet."
"What's the good news?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows, looked at his mother, and then asked suspiciously, "I'm going to have a brother or sister?"
"What are you talking about?!" Li Guohong was immediately furious when he heard this. "Can you think of something normal?"
"What good thing could possibly happen?" Li Luo asked doubtfully. "I can't imagine it."
"Subway, subway!" Li Guohong sighed and reminded, "I've been waiting for more than a year, and the news about the subway has come out!"
"Oh, he's coming down?" Li Luo blinked, slightly surprised, then quickly returned to normal, "What did he say specifically?"
"Why are you reacting so little?" Li Guohong looked at his son's calm look, which was even calmer than himself after he got the news, and suddenly felt a little bored.
"What else?" Li Luo was speechless. "Dad, tell me."
"It's just as I guessed before." Li Guohong waved his hand uninterestedly, "The subway line will be extended from the South Station, and Qianjiang University will be the terminal."
“Although Bi Hai Lan Ting is not next to the subway entrance, it is only one street away, and the shops on West Street are directly near the subway entrance.”
"According to your uncle, the price of our three storefronts alone will be more than 10 million by then."
"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, showing his understanding, "Very good." "It's boring." Seeing his calm reaction, Li Guohong immediately waved his hand, "I won't talk to you anymore."
"The main thing is that I can guess it. I already have an expectation." Li Luo laughed.
"What can we expect from this? Aren't these just rumors that came out before?"
"That's still a little different." Li Luo said, "Didn't we say it before? In September this year, our Yuhang City confirmed that it would host the 9 Asian Games."
"But the Asian Games are still a long way off. More importantly, it should be this month, on the 16th."
"Yuhang City has confirmed that it will host the G20 summit next year."
"With these two major events, one near and one far away, combined with a series of other policy development needs, the expansion of our subway is foreseeable."
"You kid..." Li Guohong looked at him talking and laughed, "You speak very logically."
As he said this, Li Guohong secretly memorized his son's words in his heart, intending to use them to scare others when he was chatting and bragging with acquaintances in the future.
At this moment, a red Audi drove past the school gate. After finding a parking space nearby, Zhang Xuefen got out of the car, carrying a branded bag in her hand, wearing a branded coat and high heels, and walked towards them from not far away.
However, when Zhang Xuefen saw Lin Xiuhong's family was also here, her face suddenly darkened and she felt a little unhappy.
However, her long-term dominance in front of Lin Xiuhong made her unwilling to avoid her, so she walked straight to Lin Xiuhong and looked her up and down.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiuhong looked at Zhang Xuefen strangely, and immediately took two steps away, keeping a certain distance from this guy.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuefen thought Lin Xiuhong was afraid of her, and instead became more imposing. She couldn't help but say something sarcastic: "You've made some money from your son's novels, and you look different now."
Lin Xiuhong was in a good mood now, and she was too lazy to argue with such a person, so she laughed and said, "Yes, it's better to have a son to rely on than to have no one to rely on."
"You!" Zhang Xuefen thought Lin Xiuhong was mocking her son for not being as good as Li Luo, and immediately got angry and said sarcastically, "What's so great about that? He wrote one book, can he write a second one? Then he will be like that guy, Shang Chongyong! Just a flash in the pan."
"Auntie." Ying Chanxi, who was standing next to Lin Xiuhong, frowned immediately after hearing what Zhang Xuefen said, and then said weakly, "That's called Shang Zhongyong."
Lin Xiuhong was a little angry at first, but when she heard what Ying Chanxi said, she couldn't help but chuckle and laughed, "Can you please stop showing off your elementary school diploma here? It's so embarrassing in front of the top students."
Zhang Xuefen's face flushed red after being teased by the two of them. She had no choice but to continue, "I heard that your son made some money from writing books, so you two closed your breakfast shop and went to buy a storefront on West Street."
"That's why I say that some people are really not destined to be rich and they don't even think about where West Street is."
"But it's true. You two have been making breakfast for decades and you don't have the time to delve into these things. It's normal that you don't understand."
"It's a pity that your son's hard-earned money has gone to waste. It would have been better if he had invested it in my old Wei's project. With an annual interest rate of 10%, wouldn't it be more profitable than this shabby storefront of yours?"
"My old Wei's project has already distributed the first year's dividends this summer, raising tens of millions."
"When the house is finished in a few years, it will be much better than those storefronts you have."
When Lin Xiuhong heard her say this, she frowned and wanted to refute.
But at this time another figure came forward, shook hands and greeted Li Guohong with a smile.
"Guohong, long time no see."
"Oh, it's been a while." Li Guohong shook hands with Li Angang who came forward and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that your child is also in the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School."
"Yes, yes." Li Angang adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "But your family has really made a fortune this time."
"Ahem...keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Li Guohong would not show off in front of outsiders.
But Li Angang felt that Li Guohong was no simple man. He was bold enough to buy three stores in one go before the announcement of the subway expansion came out.
Even Li Angang had only heard some rumors at that time, but when the news came out during the summer vacation that the new subway did not involve Yinjiang District, it actually scared away many buyers who were secretly observing.
"West Street can be said to have benefited from the subway expansion this time." Li Angang said with a smile, "If you have any news in the future, remember me. We can definitely cooperate then."
"Let's talk about this later, later." Li Guohong smiled and did not admit anything. He simply talked to Li Angang for a while.
On the other side, Zhang Xuefen was already silent.
After hearing the words "subway expansion", her mind was confused and she was a little slow to react.
Just then, at 7:30 in the morning, the gate of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School opened to the parents.
Li Guohong excused himself to Li Angang, and then, together with Lin Xiuhong, rushed to the classroom of Class 8, Grade 2, where Li Luo and his classmates were studying.
Zhang Xuefen came back to her senses and followed behind him. She immediately followed Li Angang's figure in front of her with a thick skin and asked curiously, "Brother Li, I am Wei Dongrong's wife. We met at the parents' meeting in the first half of this year."
"I heard you guys talking about the subway expansion?"
"Where did this gossip come from?"
Li Angang frowned and looked at Zhang Xuefen. He had some impression of her, so he just waved his hand and said, "The news was announced by the government's official website. What gossip? It was just released yesterday. The subway terminal will be on Qianjiang University West Street in the future. You can go home and search for it yourself and you will know."
After saying that, Li Angang left quickly, leaving Zhang Xuefen alone, standing there in a daze, unable to believe it.
subway?
Is West Street the final stop?
Didn't Lin Xiuhong and her family just buy three storefronts there a while ago? !
This……
If the subway is built, how much will their houses be worth? !
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Zhang Xuefen just kept talking about how their family’s Lao Wei had raised tens of millions.
But that is all money to be invested in real estate, and theoretically speaking, these tens of millions are not their family’s money, they are all debts!
There is interest, and you have to pay it back later!
But in Zhang Xuefen's opinion, once the house is built, the debt of tens of millions will be a piece of cake, right?
By then, the value of a building will be more than tens of millions, right?
How can Lin Xiuhong's family compare to them?
How can Li Luo, that kid, make more money by writing a crappy book than by real estate?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuefen finally calmed down, comforted herself in her heart, and walked towards her son Wei Chun's classroom.
……
At this time, on the other side, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong arrived at the classroom of Class 8 of Grade 2 and were warmly welcomed by the head teacher Kong Junxiang.
But when he saw that both Li Luo's parents were present, Kong Junxiang was still a little stunned.
After all, generally speaking, only one parent is needed to attend a parent-teacher meeting, otherwise there won’t be enough seats in the classroom.
But they were already here after all, and they were the parents of his favorite student Li Luo. When Kong Junxiang was thinking about how to arrange a seat for them, the couple had already come to Yan Zhusheng together.
When Yan Zhusheng saw his uncle and aunt coming over, he immediately stood up, took Lin Xiuhong's hand, told her which seat Ying Chanxi sat in, and then guided Li Guohong to sit in his seat.
"Xixi is sitting in front of Li Luo?" Lin Xiuhong greeted her deskmate Qiao Xinyan, looked around with a smile, and started chatting with Qiao Xinyan and Yan Zhusheng.
As a member of the seven-member study group, Qiao Xinyan was quite familiar with Lin Xiuhong and chatted with her obediently.
Yan Zhusheng poured a glass of water for Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong.
She had no intention of leaving and simply sat down in Li Luo's empty seat.
In theory, after parents arrive, students can leave the classroom and go to the study room on the top floor or participate in club activities.
However, if there are empty seats in the classroom, no one will be forced to leave.
However, when Kong Junxiang saw that the couple did not sit in Li Luo's seat but instead sat in the seats of two girls, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Um... Li Luo's parents." Kong Junxiang came closer and considered his words in his mind, "You guys are... um... Li Luo's seat seems to be over here, right?"
"Oh, this." Seeing this, Lin Xiuhong immediately said with a smile, "I forgot to tell Teacher Kong just now."
"Xixi's father and Zhusheng's mother are both very familiar friends of ours."
"They've both been busy with work recently, so they asked us to attend the parent-teacher conference for their child."
"I'm here to attend for Xixi, and my husband, Lao Li, is here to attend for Zhusheng."
Kong Junxiang was stunned by what he heard, and it took him a while to figure out the logic here. Then he looked at Yan Zhusheng who was sitting in Li Luo's seat. When he saw her nodding seriously, he felt a little amused.
"Well... I understand the situation. I didn't ask clearly just now." Kong Junxiang coughed, and after confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and returned to the podium.
But at this moment, the looks from the classmates around him were more or less a little strange.
It was only a few minutes past 7:30 and many parents had not arrived yet, so the students in Class 8 were still staying in the classroom, waiting for their parents to arrive.
As a result, my parents didn't wait for the show, but instead saw a plot that was almost incomprehensible.
Li Luo's parents came to the parent-teacher meeting for Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng?
Does this mean that the squad leader has found two wives?
This is so fucking cool that even novels wouldn’t dare to write it this way!
