Xia Jinjun just smiled slightly. From the moment he made the decision, he had expected ridicule and mockery.
He walked over holding his daughter as if nothing had happened. The group of gossiping women felt a little embarrassed when they saw him, but his smile still made people feel uncomfortable.
No matter what the father in the book was like, Xia Zhiliao truly felt Xia Jinjun's love for her, and it was absolutely not fake.
At this moment, Xia Zhiliao frowned, pouted, and glared at those people fiercely, and those people also looked away one after another.
Xia Chen, who had finished her work, also came over from a distance. Seeing her husband and daughter, she smiled gently, "Why did you two come out? Isn't Zhiliao not fond of moving?"
"How can she not like to move? Don't you know it, your own daughter? She just thinks the road is dirty. I can carry her out just fine!" Xia Jinjun gently stroked Xia Chen's hair that was messed up by the wind. His tenderness, without paying attention to others, made the women present envious.
However, some men are unwilling to accept this. If they have such a good wife, they would be happy to stay at home to take care of the children, cook and serve the woman.
What's the big deal? It's just shamelessness.
Xia Chenshi listened to the whispers and her face turned unhappy. She was even more worried that Xia Jinjun would feel bad if he heard it. "Let's go. It's still a little cold outside. Let's go home."
Xia Jinjun didn't really care, but when he saw his daughter looked unhappy, he took her hand. Xia Chenshi struggled a bit, but when she couldn't get free, she just let him do it.
They were obviously an old couple and had four children, but such intimate behavior in public still made Xia Chen blush.
She looked so shy, just like a newly married young bride, so alluring.
Xia Chen would steal a glance at Xia Jinjun from time to time. Seeing him smiling, she felt more at ease. "Jinjun, they don't understand anything. Don't take what they say to heart."
"What did you say? I didn't listen. I was just looking at you. When you came, I couldn't see anyone else." Xia Jinjun spoke sweet words without hesitation.
[Tsk tsk tsk, Daddy, you are really good at talking, this is how you tricked my mother into getting her! ]
Xia Jinjun smiled. They had just met when they got married, so they had never talked to each other beforehand.
The blush on Xia Chen's face that had just faded reappeared, and she glared at Xia Jinjun, "You just like to tease me. I... I believe you are very capable, and I can't make money without you right now. They are just talking nonsense."
Xia Jinjun squeezed her hand and said, "We are husband and wife, don't I know that? Besides, they are just jealous of us."
Xia Chen looked at the man's burning gaze and said, "Do you really not mind? They..."
"Why mind? Who has the ability? Besides, I won't be doing nothing if I don't take the scientific examination."
"Yes, Mom, my dad wants to be a farming king." Xia Zhiliao said hurriedly, probably out of guilt towards her father. She could stop her father or help him get into high school, but she chose to let nature take its course.
"What do you mean?" Xia Chen didn't understand.
Xia Jinjun told Xia Chenshi the result of the discussion with his mother and the others, "Although mother agreed, I still think you have to agree to this matter. I don't know how the land will be cultivated, so I plan to let our second branch pay for it, and not let my brothers and sisters share the risk."
Xia Chenshi did not object. She felt a little guilty. She knew that the man in front of her had the talent to be an official, but he could only choose mediocrity. "Okay, I support you in whatever you want to do. I told you to take care of the money. Why do you have to ask me first? It's so troublesome."
"I think it feels good to ask my wife for money to spend." Xia Jinjun smiled.
Xia Chen pursed her lips and glared at her with a smile. Now there was light in her eyes and she was no longer timid. She spoke more cleverly and was not so dull anymore. She seemed to be glowing.
"You can rent or buy, but where can you get it? Every family has to farm, so who would be willing to give you land? If they give it to you, it's a sum of money, but what do you do after you spend it?"
After Xia Chen finished speaking, she realized that both the father and daughter were looking at her son. She felt a little confused by the stares, "Why are you two looking at me?"
"Wife, I think you have really changed."
"What's the difference?" asked Xia Chen.
"You think too much and too far away, and you shine in front of me like a pearl that has been dusted off."
"Okay, okay, stop praising me." Xia Chen was embarrassed by the praise, "Am I right?"
"Yes, of course it's right. I plan to ask in the village now. If someone is willing, it will save a lot of trouble. If not, I will think of other ways. You are getting better and better, and I can't stand still." Xia Jinjun said.
"Then I'll help you." said Xia Chen.
"You go and do your thing. Your thing is serious. I'm just sitting around doing nothing. There's still some time before spring planting." Xia Jinjun held his daughter in his arms, feeling extremely at ease. He wasn't panicked at all.
[The village is convenient and close to home, but it will cause a lot of trouble in the future.]
The parents were shocked by what the little girl said.
Xia Jinjun suddenly felt enlightened. What the little girl said was right.
If this is planted, what if there is a disturbance?
Xia Chen looked at Xia Jinjun worriedly, "Will the land in the village cause trouble?"
"It's very possible. I didn't think of it before, but now that you mention it, I think it's possible!" Xia Jinjun patted his wife's hand, "But the land that's not in the village is those barren mountains. Do we have to buy the barren mountains?"
[Yes, buying a barren mountain is cheap and cost-effective. Dad, you are really smart! ]
Xia Chen swallowed her saliva and said, "Then buy it. My family has saved some money. I'll give it to you right away."
Xia Jinjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly pulled his wife back, "Aren't you worried that I'll waste the money you worked so hard to earn?"
Xia Chen shook her head. Even if her daughter didn't say it, she was willing. "You are my man. I just believe in you. You can do anything!"
Xia Jinjun felt extremely warm inside. Others laughed at him for accomplishing nothing, but his silly wife was the only one who always trusted him.
"Wife, if you say that, just wait. Even if I don't become an official, I will make you the happiest woman!"
Xia Chen was very happy, "Then I'll be waiting. Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."
"What?" Xia Jinjun asked.
"Boss Su has a very picky customer in her shop in the county town, and she asked me to go over and talk to her in person. I...I want you to go with me!"
"No problem." Xia Jinjun wanted to say that he was free anyway, but he was afraid that his wife would be sad, so he didn't say it.
Xia Zhiliao didn't take it seriously and thought about going to the county town to play. He went there several times and always went to the government office. There was no one else like him.
But when she saw the big shot, it was too late to regret.
