Chapter 25 Passers-by in the Seventies 17

The two held hands all the time.

Until Ke Xiaoxia came back to her senses, she wanted to pretend that she didn't care and took her hand away from Zhu Minghua.

It's not like they haven't held hands before.

But every time Ke Xiaoxia moved, Zhu Minghua would withdraw his hand.

But this time, Ke Xiaoxia failed.

She moved her hand slightly, but Zhu Minghua not only did not let go, but held it even tighter.

Ke Xiaoxia paused for a moment and did not make any other moves.

Zhu Minghua spoke up: "Xiao Xia, do you want to date someone?"

It was a very straightforward statement, but Ke Xiaoxia didn't say anything.

Zhu Minghua said again: "If you want to date someone, it's better to find me instead of looking for someone you don't know."

"I... Anyway, you've seen it, and you know what my family is like. It's great that everyone knows everything about it."

"I will definitely treat you very well. My parents like you very much, and I... like you very much too."

The last sentence was spoken softly, yet clearly audible.

When Zhu Minghua said this, he felt sweet all over.

After saying this, he became nervous again, afraid of being rejected.

Ke Xiaoxia did not refuse.

She had originally decided to let things take their own course, and now that Zhu Minghua had confessed his feelings, there was naturally no reason for her to refuse.

"What you said makes sense. So...are we dating now?"

Ke Xiaoxia's question stunned Zhu Minghua for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

His tone was excited, even a little incoherent: "It counts, of course it counts, we are in a relationship, I am your partner..."

Zhu Minghua is a little stupid like this.

Ke Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhu Minghua looked at Ke Xiaoxia and smiled. He happily picked her up and spun around.

It’s not enough to just turn around once or twice, I’m ready to keep turning.

Ke Xiaoxia hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, okay, I'll get dizzy if I keep turning. Put me down quickly so no one sees me."

Zhu Minghua obediently stopped spinning and put the person down, but kept holding his hand and was unwilling to let go.

Ke Xiaoxia just followed him.

When it came to her second relationship, Ke Xiaoxia felt that she was a little bolder than before.

Maybe it’s because of the system?

It may also be because I am more familiar with Zhu Minghua.

Or maybe it's because of experience.

In short, this time, Ke Xiaoxia was more natural in her relationship than in her previous life.

But in fact, there was not much change in the days after they started dating, except that Zhu Minghua became a little more clingy, and Zhu's parents became a little more enthusiastic.

Ke Xiaoxia could guess at once that Zhu Minghua must have told his parents about their relationship.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't feel angry either.

If nothing unexpected happens to Zhu Minghua, there will most likely be no accidents on her side.

Li Chaoyang found out that the two were in love a week after they confirmed their relationship.

It was a weekend, Ke Xiaoxia went to Zhu Minghua's house for dinner, and Li Chaoyang happened to be home.

When he met Ke Xiaoxia, Li Chaoyang didn't have time to feel happy before he saw the two of them holding hands.

Li Chaoyang's heart sank.

He wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to ask, as if he wouldn't know if he didn't ask.

From that day on, Li Chaoyang became busier, but he still kept giving gifts to Ke Xiaoxia.

Since they are already in a relationship, Ke Xiaoxia naturally doesn't want to accept anything from Li Chaoyang anymore.

She confessed to Zhu Minghua.

Zhu Minghua was not surprised at all: "Don't worry about him, just use what he gives you. After all, we are friends. I usually take care of him so much, so it's only natural that he should be nice to you."

Although Zhu Minghua's words sounded righteous, he was actually very jealous in his heart, but he had to pretend to be generous in front of Ke Xiaoxia.

Finally, she secretly showed off in front of Li Chaoyang.

Ke Xiaoxia not only received gifts from Li Chaoyang, but also from Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang sent the things through Zhou Baoer, who did not tell her who sent them. She only said, "We all come from the same place, so of course I have to take good care of you."

After knowing that Ke Xiaoxia and Zhu Minghua were dating, Zhou Baoer's attitude towards Ke Xiaoxia remained the same.

She originally thought that her brother didn't have much of a chance. Not to mention that they were so far away, her brother was not even as considerate as others. How could he possibly have a chance?

Zhou Baoer wishes Ke Xiaoxia and Zhu Minghua the best of luck.

After being with Zhu Minghua, some things became a little more convenient.

For example, during holidays, you can go to the special zone to purchase goods and resell them to make money.

If it were Ke Xiaoxia herself, she would have very little starting capital and she would have to pay attention to safety. Even if she had a space, it would be too small and only a limited amount of things could be put in it. It would also be unsafe to put it outside and she would be restricted.

Now, Zhu Minghua can solve most of the problems.

Now that they have confirmed their relationship, Ke Xiaoxia doesn't mind talking to Zhu Minghua about her thoughts.

Zhu Minghua didn't quite understand: "Xiao Xia really likes doing business?"

"That's not the case. I mainly want to make money to buy a house."

Zhu Minghua supported Ke Xiaoxia's idea and didn't say anything like "I'll buy it for you, and when we get married, mine will be yours."

He could do that later, but there was no need to say it now.

Ke Xiaoxia asked herself whether she had much financial sense.

Buy land, build a factory, and become a boss.

She can't do these, but she can earn some money and buy a house in the capital.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't just work hard on her own.

Now the restrictions on doing business have been completely liberalized, and the brigade no longer operates on the work point system.

When Ke Xiaoxia went home during the winter vacation, she talked to the Ke family about making money by doing small business.

"There are a lot of people doing business now, so nothing will happen."

"Money will become less and less valuable in the future. Don't be reluctant to spend the money you earn. Buy a house in the county directly, and buy several houses."

"Brother, you are young, so you can go to the Special Zone with your friends in the village. The Special Zone is very prosperous now. Many things are cheap there, but very expensive in other places."

"You can buy goods from the Special Zone and sell them here."

Ke Xiaoxia wants her family to get better and better with her.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

She can help them temporarily, but she can't help them for a lifetime, right?

At this time of year, even if you don't have any experience, as long as you are brave enough and don't mess around, you can make a fortune.

I don't seek to be rich and powerful, as long as I can lie down and collect money in the afterlife, that would be enough.

However, Ke Xiaoxia could only give some advice to the Ke family.

People like Zhu Minghua's parents stand at a higher level and see things more clearly. They don't need Ke Xiaoxia's advice at all.

Where there are open-minded people, there are naturally old-fashioned people.

Li Chaoyang's father is quite old-fashioned.

Li Chaoyang's second brother resigned and ran to the Special Administrative Region to do business. Li's father was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital.

In this kind of situation, it is impossible to say who is right or wrong. We can only say that everyone has different ideas.

When he graduated from university, Ke Xiaoxia had successfully bought a house in the capital. Although it is now in the suburbs, it may not be so after further development.

When Ke Xiaoxia thought of the wonderful life in the future, her smile was particularly bright.
