Chapter 227 Sports Meeting

The vegetable noodles were served on the table. Li Luo ate them all up very considerately, and even fed Yaya a few bites of eggs.

However, Ling Xiaolei finished eating with a frown on his face: "Brother, there is still eggshell inside your egg, and it tastes tasteless when I put it in my mouth."

Although he said this, Ling Xiaolei did not stop picking up the chopsticks at all.

"But it was also my brother's first time cooking noodles, and it was a great success." Seeing his brother put down his chopsticks, Ling Xiaolei felt a chill on his back, and then quickly made up for it.

"No, I think the noodles cooked by Da Mao are delicious, with the right amount of hardness and softness. A lighter dish is better for the body. And Xiao Mao's help is also indispensable. You two are awesome!"

Li Luo gave the two brothers a thumbs up.

"Really...really?" Li Luo's few words made Ling Xiaolei excited. After all, this was the first time he and his brother cooked together, and he didn't expect to get such high praise from his mother.

"When Dad comes back, my brother and I will cook for him!" Ling Xiaolei said excitedly.

Li Luo was very pleased that the two brothers were so enthusiastic, but she didn't expect that the two little ones would be so sensible and cook for herself.

"Why did you think of cooking noodles today?" Li Luo asked with his head tilted.

"My brother said so. He said that mom has been too tired recently. We thought that it was still early after school and he often watched mom cook, so he wanted to give her a surprise."

"Mom said a few days ago that the greens in the yard were growing very tender and would be delicious if cooked with green vegetables, so my brother and I cooked noodles today."

Li Luo was slightly surprised. She herself had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect that the two children still remembered it. This was the first time that Li Luo felt that the two little boys in front of her had grown up.

Moreover, Li Luo looked at the heights of the two people and there seemed to be some difference. Ling Xiaoguang's height was beginning to show.

She was always around the two brothers before, but she couldn't observe any changes. However, during this period of time, she was busy everywhere and noticed a lot of details.

For example, the brothers' hair has grown longer and is almost covering their eyes. Their nails are also growing very fast. Ling Xiaolei's arms have become thicker and he seems to be fatter than before.

Rather than being fat, they were more robust. Sometimes Ling Zhuoqun was too late to send the two brothers off, so they learned to race against each other, vying to get to school.

"Mom, the school will hold a sports meet in two days. Will you come with your sister to watch the game? My brother and I have signed up, and even Lin Mo has signed up."

Li Luo was surprised for a moment: "Sports meet? What events are there?"

When talking about the sports meet, Ling Xiaoguang blushed slightly: "I, I signed up for the long-distance running and relay race."

"Mom, I've also signed up for the long-distance running!" Ling Xiaolei seemed to be afraid that Li Luo's attention would be snatched away, so he quickly raised his voice to attract Li Luo's attention.

Ling Xiaoguang hesitated several times, but Li Luo saw through his intentions: "Da Mao, if you have anything to say, you can just tell me."

"We also have a three-legged race, which requires the participation of parents and students. I think..." Ling Xiaoguang raised his eyes, and there seemed to be hope in his eyes.

"Mom, we have some too!" Ling Xiaolei raised his hand and responded like a good baby.

"Originally, almost no one participated in this project, but Teacher Lu said that this is an activity to enhance parent-child relationships and encouraged everyone to participate, so..."

Ling Xiaoguang lowered his head, swallowed, and twisted his hands. "I will participate, but if the two of you compete at the same time, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it." Li Luo was a little embarrassed.

"I'll go too." Ling Zhuoqun's voice came from behind. Ling Zhuoqun put his coat on the hanger and responded with a smile.

Li Luo turned her head and saw Ling Zhuoqun looking at her with a smile.

"I will also go to the sports meet of Da Mao and Xiao Mao. I don't want to miss the growth of these children." Ling Zhuoqun looked very serious.

Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei never thought that Ling Zhuoqun would suddenly appear and say that he was going to participate in the sports meet. After all, in the two brothers' dictionaries, their father has always been busy.

"Dad! You're back?" Ling Xiaolei said in surprise: "Brother, let's cook noodles for Dad!"

Ling Xiaolei pulled Ling Xiaoguang and ran excitedly to the kitchen.

"Did you hear everything?" Li Luo pulled out a chair and Ling Zhuoqun sat down.

"I heard it from the two-legged race." Ling Zhuoqun responded with a smile.

"Did things go smoothly today?" Ling Zhuoqun asked while teasing Yaya.

Li Luo nodded, then shook his head: "Originally, we were planning to discuss cooperation, but something unexpected happened, which caused me to have other ideas now."

"Tell me about it?" Ling Zhuoqun looked like he was all ears.

"The textile factory seems to be going bankrupt."

Ling Zhuoqun's eyes darkened. "I seem to have heard about this. It seems that mechanization is coming to the factory. Many old factories cannot afford those expensive machines, but the speed of manual labor cannot keep up, so the textile factories can no longer operate."

Li Luo was slightly surprised. How come Ling Zhuoqun knew this before she even told him?

Ling Zhuoqun seemed to see Li Luo's surprise, and then explained: "This is not difficult to guess. After all, feeding pigs has to be more and more scientific now. It's not enough to just buy some leftovers to feed them."

"You also need to buy nutritious pig feed, and give them other vaccinations and regular deworming."

"Feeding pigs is easier, so less manpower is needed. Many workers have been laid off. With the popularization of mechanization, many manual industries will be impacted, so it is not difficult to imagine the bankruptcy of textile factories."

Ling Zhuoqun's words made Li Luo sigh. No wonder he could become a business tycoon. It turned out that so many details could be guessed just through a few words.

"Then tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing for me to acquire the textile factory now?" Although Li Luo already had a plan in mind, he still wanted to hear Ling Zhuoqun's opinion.

"If you have the ability to buy it, it's best to buy it along with the land. If the location is good, it may appreciate in value in the future. Even if the factory doesn't perform well in the future, you may be able to make a small profit by converting it into something else."

"But it still depends on your willingness in the end. Running such a large factory will probably become more and more tiring in the future. You need to find someone who is good at management." Ling Zhuoqun's analysis was very logical, making Li Luo's mouth open wider and wider.

If Li Luo wanted to buy this land because of memory cheating, then Ling Zhuoqun's reaction was entirely based on the businessman's keenness and reasonable analysis and judgment.

"But if you want to take over this piece of land, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it without 200,000 yuan." Li Shishi spoke the truth and told Ling Zhuoqun his budget.
