"I'll first ask my brothers in the army if they know any veterans and ask them to introduce them to me."

Xia Jin said, "Okay. The conditions are the same as for everyone else. The salary is thirty-five for the first three months, and fifty after three months. Your daily work is to help in the kitchen, and at night you need to take Aunt Cuihong and the others home. If you come from outside and have nowhere to stay, I can also provide accommodation here."

"Okay, I'll tell them."

In the afternoon, Xia Jin and Gu Jingmo went to the smashed store together. The room had been cleaned and tidied up by the staff, except that some benches, tables and chairs were broken during the fight. Xia Jin and the other two counted the number of damaged tables and chairs and recorded them.

Then they closed the door and went straight to the furniture store, found the furniture style they had ordered before, and asked for the quantity that needed to be replaced. It happened that there was stock in the warehouse, so Xia Jin asked them to deliver it directly that afternoon.

After the workers delivered the ordered furniture, Xia Jin and Meng Chenxu set up the tables and chairs, and then they closed the door and went back home. However, they did not go home immediately. Xia Jin and Gu Jingmo went to see a movie.

This was their first date after they confirmed their relationship. They bought two bottles of orange soda at the door, paid for their tickets, and lined up for ticket inspection. At that time, there were still many people evading fares, and their methods of evading fares were endless. Xia Jin was talking to Gu Jingmo in the back when she heard, "You naughty little brat." Xia Jin looked forward and saw the ticket inspector picking up a little boy of eight or nine years old. He kicked him in the butt and continued, "Get out of here! Don't let me catch you evading fares again, or I'll go to your house and tell your parents that you've been naughty all day."

The little boy was still smiling even after being kicked. After the uncle let him go, he scurried through the crowd like a loach and disappeared in a flash. It was obvious that he was a frequent fare evader. When the uncle said he would find his parents, he wasn't afraid at all, but instead smiled.

After the interlude, Xia Jin and Gu Jingmo were quickly checked in. After checking their tickets, they went in. They had chosen a Hong Kong action comedy, and Xia Jin laughed so hard throughout the whole movie that he couldn't straighten his back.

After the two of them came out, they found a restaurant to have dinner for two. After ordering a few dishes, Gu Jingmo said as he ate, "It's not as delicious as my baby's."

Xia Jin looked at the waiters around him, kicked Gu Jingmo hard under the table, and then said, "Shut up. Aren't you afraid of being beaten for saying such things in other people's stores?"

After dinner, the two of them went home together. Gu Jingmo carried Xia Jin on his back, and said with a slight smile: "Do we look like Zhu Bajie carrying his wife?"

Xia Jin, lying on his back, heard this and said, "You even compared yourself to Zhu Bajie. It's okay for me to be your wife for once."

Gu Jingmo said, "Wife, let's go home." Being carried on someone's back was something that Liu Xiu had never done since his divorce from Xia Jin's biological father. Xia Jin still remembered that they would quarrel with Liu Xiu when they were young, but he was really good to her.

After coming back from the fields, he would lift Xia Jin above his head, or let her sit on his neck and carry her around the village. Whenever Liu Xiu made a noise and threw things, he would cover little Xia Jin's ears and tell her that her mother was just in a bad mood and that our A Jin was not afraid.

When the two divorced, Xia's father also fought for custody, but in the end he gave up when he heard Liu Xiu say that he could give the child a better education. After all, he was just an illiterate farmer, and the child would definitely not have a better future with him than with Liu Xiu in the city. It was all about a father's love for his child.

After Liu Xiu brought the child to the city, he cut off the contact between Xia's father and Xia Jin. Xia's father probably didn't expect that Liu Xiu would be willing to treat his own flesh and blood like this.

Xia Jin's tears flowed unconsciously when she thought of this, dripping onto Gu Jingmo's exposed skin. Gu Jingmo felt the girl's emotions on his body, and after knowing that she was crying, he asked worriedly: "Why are you crying, Jin? Did I make you angry in some way?"

Xia Jin lay on top of her, shook his head, and said, "I was just thinking about my father. You said I should contact him, but after so many years, will he forget me? Will he have a new family? If I go and disturb him like this, will he blame me? Do you think he will love me?"

Gu Jingmo sensed that Xia Jin was in a bad mood and slowly said, "Did Ajin deliberately not contact Dad?"

"no."

"You see, you were too young to fight your mother back then, and your father couldn't find you, so I don't blame you."

Gu Jingmo continued, "Ajin, do you want to go over and take a look? Let's not disturb him first, just take a look secretly, and then Ajin will make a decision, okay? Even if he has a new family and doesn't love you anymore, Ajin, you still have me, and I will always love you."

"So let's not be afraid, okay? Jin, you're loved by someone too. When you come back with me, my family will definitely love you."

"From now on, I'll beat up anyone who says they don't like you, okay?"

Xia Jin burst into laughter and said, "How can you be so overbearing? How can everyone like me?"

Gu Jingmo said, "Ajin, you finally smiled." Gu Jingmo heard Xia Jin's laughter and thought, "Ajin, I will definitely protect you from being sad again. You don't know how painful it is when I hear you cry."

Xia Jin took a breath and said, "Brother, I want to go and see it during my winter vacation."

Gu Jingmo said: "Okay, I'll go with you, don't worry, baby. No matter what happens, I will always stand behind you to protect you and be your strong backing."

After returning home, washing up, lying on the bed, recalling her childhood, she gradually fell asleep. In her dream, she did not follow Liu Xiu into the city, but stayed in the countryside. Her father loved her very much, and the two of them lived and supported each other.

On Monday, Xia Jin was stopped by Chen Xin as she entered the classroom. Chen Xin looked around her, looking left and right. Xia Jin looked at Chen Xin worriedly and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Xin asked worriedly, "You're not hurt, are you? I heard you were robbed in the store. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xia Jin patted Chen Xin and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Someone showed up in time and knocked them all down and saved us. In the end, those thugs were also sent to the Public Security Bureau."

Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you're okay. You don't know how worried I was when I heard the news this morning."

Xia Jin said, "Okay, let's go back to our seats. I'll tell you about what happened that day. It was quite thrilling."
