Wu Shaojun watched Gu Shaoxuan walk into the house and said to Xia Enruo:

"Sister, what's wrong with brother-in-law?"

Xia Enruo felt a little awkward. What was wrong with Gu Shaoxuan? He walked into the house in front of the two of them without saying a word.

"Shaojun, he may have just recovered and shouldn't talk to you for a long time. Don't worry about him, sit down and rest for a while, I'll go make you some food."

Wu Shaojun drank a glass of water, rested for a while, and then went to the door to start working. Wearing gloves, he took out his tool bag from the car, opened the back cover of the washing machine, and slowly repaired it. He really looked like a master repairman.

Ge Qiuqin saw Xia Enruo carrying back the washing machine and came out, saying:

"This Xia really does get things done quickly, he's got a really fiery personality. I didn't know you had this skill, buddy, that's impressive."

Ge Qiuqin had dinner with Wu Shaojun yesterday, but she couldn't remember his name. She watched him busily working in a very methodical manner before going into the house to find Xia Enruo.

"Sister-in-law, how's my washing machine?"

Xia Enruo couldn't wait to show off her achievements to Ge Qiuqin.

"Great. Xia, you're really generous, buying two washing machines at a time. You're the first one in our compound to use one."

Ge Qiuqin looked at the washing machine with envy. Xia Xia was so good at making money that she could buy a washing machine so easily.

"Sister-in-law, these two washing machines only cost me 10 yuan."

"What? 10 yuan? Xia, are you kidding me? How could a washing machine cost 10 yuan?"

Ge Qiuqin didn't believe it; wouldn't everyone just rob someone if they got 10 yuan?

Xia Enruo knew she wouldn't believe it, so she recounted the whole story.

Ge Qiuqin's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Xia Enruo to have such a sharp mind, or that Shao Jun and his brother had such abilities.

"Xia, you're so lucky. You don't really want to open a laundromat, do you?"

"How could it be fake? Sister-in-law, let me try it first, and if it works, you can work with me, okay? Remember, no one's money is as good as the money you earn yourself."

Seeing that Xia Enruo had done a pretty good job, even buying a washing machine, Ge Qiuqin realized that she was determined to start doing this, and she herself was also a little tempted.

"Xia, I do want to, but I don't know anything about this. How can I help you? I'm afraid I'll just hold you back."

"Sister-in-law, can't you do laundry? Can't you sew? Can't you iron? Aren't these the chores you usually do at home?"

Ge Qiuqin was still apprehensive. Was doing business really that easy? Could she really make money just by mending and patching things? Was Xia Xia right?

Xia Enruo noticed Ge Qiuqin's fear and continued:

"How about this, sister-in-law? I'll start. If I make money, you can work with me. If I don't, you won't lose anything. How about that?"

If Xia En really wanted to help Ge Qiuqin, she couldn't stand Zhang Xin always bullying her because of money. Wasn't it just because she was honest and kind? He was really taking advantage of her.

Seeing that Xia Enruo had said so, Ge Qiuqin realized that if she hesitated any longer, she would be wasting her sister's good intentions. She decided to do as Xia Enruo said.

Wu Shaojun was repairing the washing machine outside, sweating profusely. Xia Enruo saw this and went out with a towel to hand it to him.

"Shaojun, why don't you rest for a while and wipe your sweat first?"

"Sis, no need. It'll be ready soon. Get me a power strip, I'll try out the washing machine in a bit."

Gu Shaoxuan saw through the window that Xia Enruo was handing a towel to Wu Shaojun to wipe his sweat. That was the towel Xia Enruo had given him to wipe his sweat; she was giving it to another man! He was so angry that he threw his book on the ground.

Xia Enruo took the power strip out of the house, put it on the ground, and then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

She's making bubble tea today. She bought tapioca starch a while ago but hasn't used it yet, so this is a good opportunity to give it a try.

She put brown sugar into the pot, then poured in water and stirred until it boiled. Then she quickly poured in tapioca starch and kept stirring until it formed a dough.

She placed the dough on a board and kneaded it into thin strips. Then she cut it into evenly sized pieces, rolled them into small balls, and put them into a pot of boiling water to cook. Once cooked through, she took them out and put them into a pot of cold water to cool.

The pearl is now complete.

Xia Enruo took out Pu'er tea leaves and put them into boiling water. After the tea soup turned a deep red and even color, she took out the tea leaves, then added fresh milk, and finally added sugar cubes and a few spoonfuls of milk powder to the milk tea.

Add the cooled tapioca pearls, and your bubble tea is ready.

The sound of the motor spinning outside reached Xia Enruo's ears, followed immediately by Wu Shaojun shouting:

"Sister Enruo, the washing machine is fixed and can be used now."

Upon hearing this, Xia Enruo excitedly ran outside, watching the humming of the washing machine spinning, she couldn't be happier.

"Sis, don't just stand there like an idiot. Quickly pour some water in and wash it, then put in a couple of pieces of clothing and see how it works."

Seeing Xia Enruo's excited and dazed expression, Wu Shaojun reminded her.

Xia Enruo took out half a bucket of water, poured it into the washing machine, washed it, added clean water, then poured in fresh water, put in a few clothes, and pressed the start button.

"Shaojun, look. It's moving, the water is moving, it's usable."

Xia Enru then tried another machine, which also started spinning.

Wu Shaojun repaired them; his craftsmanship is truly exceptional.

Hearing the sound of the machine running, Tian Xiuli, Liu Cuiyun, and the others curiously came out of the yard and gathered around.

"Xia, is this the washing machine you bought?"

Tian Xiuli asked.

"It's my sister-in-law, I brought her back from the scrap yard today."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. These days, even getting a new wife might not be enough to afford a washing machine, but Xia bought two. She's really resourceful.

Xia Enruo invited Wu Shaojun to her home; she should thank him properly today.

She brought out her homemade bubble tea and poured a cup for Wu Shaojun.

"Shaojun, do you like the bubble tea I made?"

Wu Shaojun picked up the cup with some curiosity. Bubble tea? Could it really contain tapioca pearls? Sister Enruo is really rich now, she even puts tapioca pearls in her milk tea. But won't that choke her?

"Sister, did you put pearls in here?"

Xia Enruo chuckled when she heard Shao Jun say that.

"Look at these black beads inside, they're made of starch, we call them pearls, that's why we call it bubble tea."

Shaojun understood; so this was a pearl.

He took a sip; it was sweet, and the pearls were quite delicious, chewy and bouncy. He had never tasted such a fresh beverage before; coming to Sister Enruo's house had truly broadened his horizons.

"It's delicious, sis. I never knew you were such a good cook."

"It's delicious, so drink more. We'll have dinner soon. I've stewed the chicken, it's almost ready to be braised."

Xia Enruo took the cup into the inner room and brought it to Gu Shaoxuan.

Gu Shaoxuan was angry at the moment and had no interest in drinking this. Besides, he wasn't the first to drink this beverage; it was Wu Shaojun who had complained.
