Chapter 163
At this moment, Li Lei was standing at the gate of Meng Xiaoning's house, and said to Meng Xiaoning, "Go in."

Meng Xiaoning nodded, a little hesitant.

"Thank you for the clothes and the movie, how about I treat you to dinner next weekend?" Meng Xiaoning asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Li Lei nodded cheerfully: "Okay, then we will meet at the entrance of the market at ten o'clock in the morning next weekend."

Meng Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief, and then went home happily.

When Meng Xiaoning returned home, Li Lei raised his wrist and took a look. It was already 07:30 in the evening.

He hesitated for a moment, but still walked in the direction of home.

Even if I go back to my eldest sister's place, I have to go home early tomorrow morning, so it's meaningless to stay for such a night.

Moreover, if you go to the eldest sister, you will definitely be questioned.

He didn't want to be questioned by the eldest sister.

After returning home, the small shop was still closed, so Li Lei called Li Xu.

If you don't say a word, the eldest sister will definitely be worried.

Li Xu, who was still in the store waiting for Li Lei to go back to ask what was going on, was completely dumbfounded when he received the call: "Going back? Then how are you and Xiaoning doing? Did you have a good chat today?"

Li Lei said: "Fortunately, we made an appointment to have dinner together next weekend, and I will come over next Saturday morning!"

"Really? What's Xiaoning's attitude?" Li Xu became a little excited when he heard this.

Li Lei didn't want to say any more, just said: "It's okay, sister, the phone bill is too expensive, I won't talk to you, goodbye."

With that said, he hung up the phone straightforwardly.

"Hey, don't hang up yet..." Li Xu yelled loudly but didn't stop Li Lei.

Looking at the hung up phone, Li Xu shook his head helplessly and put down the microphone.

"Xiao Lei is also..."

Zhang Kun watched from the side, and persuaded her in a low voice: "If you know that the two of you are having an affair, don't ask too much. Xiaolei is almost 30 years old, so don't worry about him all the time. If you are, you are willing to take care of the process of getting married." Tell your parents about everything? You have to learn to compare your heart with your heart!"

Li Xu listened to Zhang Kun's words and remained silent for a while.

After a long time, she finally sighed: "You are right, I worry too much. Xiaolei is five years younger than me. When I was young, my parents were busy and I had to work in the fields every day. Xiaolei is He grew up on my back, and later he went to serve as a soldier, and he has been away for eight years. In my heart, he is still a child, ignorant of the world, and I am afraid that he will do something wrong!"

But in fact, Li Lei is almost 30 years old and is already a mature adult.

He has his own judgment, and others should not influence his decision.

"It's good if you figure it out. You worry so much and you're so tired, why bother?" Zhang Kun said with a smile, and then talked about other things with Li Xu, "By the way, the house opposite your house The Lord came back, and asked me to go to another day to go through the formalities. Just a few years ago, I did a good job of decorating, and I will be able to live in the next year.”

Li Xu was also very happy when he heard this.

"Do you have enough money? If not..."

Before Li Xu finished speaking, Zhang Kun interrupted, "Not enough, I asked my brother and sister to borrow some, so you don't have to worry about it."

Although prices have dropped, they haven't dropped much.The money in his hand was still 1000 yuan short, so he asked his younger brother and sister to borrow 500 yuan each.

"It's not easy for your younger brothers and sisters. Go and pay back their money another day. I have money here, so you can use it first." Li Xu whispered.

When she went back that time, she could tell that the living conditions of Zhang Kun's younger siblings were average.

Especially his younger sister, whose hands are like old tree bark at a young age, and she can tell at a glance that there is a lot of work at home.

For her, a thousand dollars is half a month's income, but for her younger siblings, it may take more than half a year to earn this money.

"I'm not married yet, so you can't wait to use your money for me? If I were a bad guy, wouldn't it be easy to cheat some money from you?" Zhang Kun joked after hearing the words.

Li Xu listened, his face was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She naturally knew that Zhang Kun was not that kind of person, so she offered to lend him money.

"Okay, there's not much money, and I'll pay them back when I get paid. Don't worry, my younger brothers and sisters, can I still embarrass them?" Zhang Kun said, "You can collect your money yourself, here The business is good, let’s open a branch when we save up the money.”

Li Xu nodded: "I also have this plan."

"By the way, have you ever thought about our signboard? In fact, it is easy for someone to imitate it. If someone puts up a signboard exactly like ours, who knows if it is our branch? If it is well managed, it will not be too big for us. The impact is at most to divide the business. But if the other party's business is not good and they play some small tricks, it will directly affect our reputation!"

Li Xu nodded thoughtfully, "Then what do you mean..."

Zhang Kun didn't speak for a while. He had been thinking about this problem for the past few days, but he didn't think of a good way to stop it.

"Mom, Uncle Zhang, we can register a trademark." Ji Yuanyuan, who had been doing homework next to him, heard the conversation between the two, put his pen on the table, and suggested.

"Registered trademark?" Li Xu murmured.

People in this era are not so sensitive to things like trademarks, and some people don't even know what a trademark is.

"That's right, let's design a pattern ourselves, which is our trademark. It's like on our washing machine at home, aren't there two little boys with bare bottoms? That's the trademark." Ji Yuanyuan wrote seriously.

"After we register, if someone dares to use the same trademark as ours, then he is infringing, and we can go to court to sue them. And if we have a trademark, we have a brand. Although we only have one store now, it is not useful. It’s huge, but we’ll definitely use it in the future.”

Hearing Ji Yuanyuan's words, Li Xu's eyes lit up.

After a while, she discussed with Zhang Kun: "I'll go and inquire about it some other day."

Zhang Kun nodded and looked at Ji Yuanyuan, "Then what we have to do now is to find someone to design a pattern for us to use as our trademark, right?"

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Kun very appreciatively: "Yes, there are many people who specially designed this."

Zhang Kun was a little surprised, "Yuan Yuan, where did you know these things?"

"From the book, and the TV." Ji Yuanyuan lowered his head and muttered.

Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other.

Ji Yuanyuan was afraid that Li Xu and Zhang Kun would continue to ask questions, so he yawned quickly and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

Li Xu hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go home and sleep after Mom cleans up!"
