"Let them make a fuss. If they make me lose my job, I will go and thank Lin An. I will give him some money and then go into business."
"Is it okay? Doing business means a lot of losses, it's better to be a teacher, it's more stable."
"Humph." Xie Zhili snorted coldly and said, "Being a teacher is stable, but there is only so much money a month. Apart from living expenses, how much can we save? With this little money, when can we save enough money to buy a bigger house? The job is stable, and the only thing left is stability."
"The salary has gone up again. Take your time and you'll be able to afford it."
"What's the use of a few dollars increase? Yes, it has increased a few dollars, but the price has increased. We are waiting, what should Lin Chuan do? Lin Chuan should find a partner."
놛 looked around the small one-bedroom apartment and sighed, "Where will my wife live after we get married in this shabby house? We can only give the bedroom to you and live outside. If we live outside, what will Xiaowen do? We can't really ask you to sleep on the floor."
It’s not impossible to lay a floor in the summer, but what about in the winter?
Such a small house could barely accommodate the whole family when the children were still young.
Now that my children have grown up, there is definitely no room for them, so we have to move.
Li Mei nodded after hearing this. Thinking of Xie Linan and Xie Li, who had made fortunes through business, she said, "That's good. I heard that gold is everywhere in the world now, and you can make a fortune even by selling bottles of water. Without destruction, there is no construction. Maybe we can go into business and make a fortune."
"Really? But when that day comes, I'll just go and you'll stay at home. Eggs can't be put in the same basket, and we can't take risks together."
"That's right. Fine. I'll listen to you."
The two have already thought about possible accidents and coping strategies.
Xie Wen looked at them, sighed, and continued reading.
…
Classes start on Monday and students usually go back to school on Sunday.
Xie Wen really didn't want to stay in that house, listening to their nagging and cursing, so he usually left the house in the morning.
After arriving at school, I put my things down, went to my eldest brother's house to visit my grandfather, play with some little nephews, and then went back to school with Hongxia.
Most students go back to school in the afternoon. Only some students who live far away in the mountains leave early and arrive in the morning in order to catch the early bus into the city.
Who said there were no buses going into the city this afternoon?
Xie Wen was a special case. Although his family lived in the city and his parents were elementary school teachers, he chose to live on campus and came every week in the morning.
"Xie Wen, why do you come so early every week?"
Xie Wen put down his schoolbag, stuffed important things, such as living expenses, into his trouser pockets, and said casually, "I'm going to visit my grandfather on the way."
"Is it the one in front of the school?"
"Yes."
"Then will you have lunch at our house at noon?"
Xie Wen nodded.
"That's a big hotel. I heard their food is delicious."
"Well, that's the shop opened by my sister-in-law. The food she cooks is delicious."
"But it's not cheap. We poor students can't afford it. I really want to eat it, but unfortunately my family has no money."
Another person said: "My parents promised me that if I passed the high school entrance exam, they would take me out for a meal."
"Wow, your parents are so nice. But my family is not like that. Even if I get into college, my family will never take me out to eat."
"Your family can't even afford a meal?"
The boy blushed and stammered, "My family won't always be that poor. I'll eat on my own when I go to college."
The two of them drooled at the thought of the feast and looked at Xie Wen who was putting on his shoes.
The two pushed each other and seemed to have something to say to each other.
Xie Wen noticed something was wrong and asked them, "Do you have anything to say?"
The two were embarrassed and said shyly, "Xie Wen, can you treat us to a meal? We...we just want to try it out. We have never been to a restaurant in our lives."
Xie Wen touched his trouser pocket and said, "I don't have any money. My parents gave me very little money, as you all know. Even my breakfast depends on Hongxia to bring it to me."
"Isn't your Hongxia rich? I heard that Hongxia's parents are both bosses and she is an only child. She is very rich. How about you let her treat us to a meal?"
Xie Wen shook his head, "How can this be possible? Although Hongxia is older than me, I am her uncle. How can an uncle let his niece treat him to a meal?"
They both: “…”
Xie Wen changed his shoes, ignored them and left.
After they left, the two roommates said, "Tsk, what are you talking about visiting Grandpa? I think he just went there to eat for free."
"Of course, your parents are very stingy with you. They don't even want to give you enough food. Even though your family is rich and has many relatives, and your parents are teachers, I think you live a worse life than us. Look, your shoes are so worn out that the soles are almost falling off."
Xie Wen is gone, so we can no longer hear these idle chatter.
…
The weather is hot now, so Ye Xiaozhen won't come back for lunch. Grandpa eats at home with a group of children.
We hired a nanny, and Zhou and I are here morning and evening.
There is no need for a nanny to cook the meals. She just needs to get them from the store and make sure the elderly and children have enough to eat.
The old man knew that the third son and his wife were not kind to Xie Wen. Seeing how thin Xie Wen was, he felt distressed and helpless.
Because I know in my heart that the couple are troublemakers who will push their luck further.
There's not much I can do to help, there are some things I can't interfere with.
At most, you can give your dog some more meat when you eat.
"Xiao Wen, you should eat more. You look so thin."
"Grandpa, I ate a lot."
"Eat more. Even though you are taller than Hongxia, I think you are not as heavy as her."
At that time, being as thin as a stick was not considered beautiful. The mainstream aesthetic was to have a little flesh, and children considered a white, plump and chubby look to be beautiful.
Hongxia was not angry when she was called fat. She rolled up her sleeves to show her arms and said, "Look, my arms are thicker."
"Yes, yes, your arms are thick."
"Then you should eat more. Here's a chicken leg for you. Eat it quickly."
"I've already eaten one, you can eat this one."
"I don't eat, but you do. Who told you to be thin?"
Xie Wen: “…”
"Okay, I'll eat it."
This meal is the best and most satisfying meal I have every week.
Lin Xinghua knew that they were going to move soon, and he sighed when he saw Xie Wen like this.
I thought that when we all went to Haicheng, there would be no one to take care of this child, which would be pitiful.
"Xiao Wen, you should study hard and try to get into a university in another city in the future."
Xie Wen nodded and continued eating.
