The two of them walked into the master bedroom again. Chen Xia saw that there were already some furniture in the bedroom, including a bed, cabinets, etc.
"Hey, have you bought the furniture for the master bedroom?"
Xu Yuan boasted, "Well, this is prepared for you. How is it? Are you satisfied? You spent all your own money on this. When you come to the provincial capital to study, you can live here, right? But you have to prepare the bedding yourself."
"Satisfied, satisfied! How could I not be satisfied with Miss Xu's arrangement? Oh, these furniture are all nice. You must have put a lot of thought into it. Come, I'll give you a gift too."
After saying that, Chen Xia also took out a wooden box from his backpack. Inside was a glass-type imperial green Buddha jade pendant inlaid with platinum.
At this time, the sunlight in the room happened to shine on the jade pendant, making the green color look particularly beautiful.
"Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. You often go out to sketch, and this Buddha can bless you with safety. Don't lose it."
In fact, Xu Yuan was not very interested in this kind of gold and silver jewelry, but this jade pendant was given to her by Chen Xia. She felt that it had a different meaning, so she happily accepted it and decided to wear the jade pendant after returning home.
The two of them went to the third floor for a visit. Chen Xia was very satisfied when he saw that anti-theft windows had been installed in all the rooms' windows, and even an iron door was welded at the stairwell.
The third floor will be his future storage warehouse, where things will be placed. For example, the first batch of Moutai will be temporarily stored here, and will be moved to a special wine cellar when conditions permit.
Not far from the villa are various provincial government agencies. There are also some villas on Geshan where veteran cadres live, so it is absolutely safe here and there is no need to worry about everything being stolen.
At noon, Chen Xia said goodbye to Xu Yuan and the others. In the afternoon, he had to go to Zhijiang Medical University for classes and meet his elder sister by the way.
After a few months of separation, there are a lot of things to do and a lot of explanations to give.
Chen Chun already knew that his brother was kidnapped while traveling in Nanyun Province. Now that he saw Chen Xia coming back, he couldn't help but feel angry. As soon as they met, he kicked him hard in the butt.
"You still remember to come back? Do you know how worried I am?"
Chen Xia quickly grabbed Chen Chun's shoulder with a playful smile.
"Okay, okay, I'm back. Look, apart from being a little darker, I'm healthy. Let me tell you something in secret. I made tens of thousands of dollars in Nanyun Province this time. I'm rich."
Chen Chun shook his hand and rolled his eyes. "Be careful about the impact. This is a university campus. You have to promise me that you won't make this kind of money in the future. It's too dangerous."
"Okay, I promise you, my beautiful sister."
The atmosphere between the two siblings finally eased, and Chen Chun then remembered:
"By the way, you haven't been to class for a long time. You need to go apologize to Teacher Jin. If she hadn't kept it a secret for you, it would have been a big deal if the school found out."
"Okay, let's go eat. I'm starving."
While eating, Chen Xia kept thinking, how can I apologize? Moreover, skipping classes will happen frequently in the future. How can I get Teacher Jin to help me cover it up? This is a big problem.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he is fired if he can't hide it. Anyway, Chen Xia has never thought about any career development. How can being a dean be as satisfying as being a happy speculator?
After dinner, Chen Xia carried a large bag of fruit to Chen Chun's dormitory, which immediately caused a sensation in the girls' dormitory.
Most of the female students had never even seen these strange fruits. Just smelling the unique fragrance of the fruits made them drool.
This was actually the first time Chen Chun had seen these tropical fruits, and he couldn't help swallowing.
They had heard of mangoes and pineapples but had never eaten them, and had never even heard of papaya, so the girls in the dormitory all ran over to watch the fun of these three strange fruits.
Zhan Aiju took a mango bigger than her palm and took a deep sniff: "This is a mango, it's so big."
Chen Xia nodded: "Don't you women all like 'big'?"
Zhan Aiju felt that there must be something behind these words, but she couldn't say anything and was stunned for a moment.
Just when she was puzzled, Shen Huishan next to her couldn't help but said, "Chen Xia, how do you eat this mango? Is it delicious?"
The fruits that Chen Xia brought were all naturally ripened, so they had a particularly strong fruity aroma, tasted particularly good, and were very sweet.
Except for the fruit's place of origin, tropical fruits in other regions are usually picked when they are half-ripe for the sake of easy transportation and preservation, and then artificially ripened, so the taste is far inferior.
Take bananas for example. When Chen Xia was in Ruili, there were many banana fields in Yunha Village, and each banana tree could produce a large bunch of bananas.
The banana peels we usually see are all yellow, but the bananas here are picked when they are still green. If you wait until the peel turns yellow before picking them, they will taste good, but they will not last long and will rot immediately.
After eating naturally ripe bananas, Chen Xia lost interest in artificially ripened bananas, so he bought a lot of ripe bananas to eat slowly when he got home. If he couldn't finish them, he could sell them to his company as welfare.
"Come on, have you prepared your lunch boxes? Give me the fruit knife and I'll cut it for you right there. This time you can eat as much as you want. I brought plenty anyway, so if you're not satisfied, there's more."
Chen Xia shouted while quickly peeling the mango.
As soon as the mango skin was peeled, the unique fruity aroma of mango wafted out, making several girls in Chen Chun's dormitory drool. Chen Xia skillfully cut the mango flesh into small pieces and put them into several lunch boxes in front of him.
"Here, take it and try it."
Several girls couldn't wait to pick up their lunch boxes and quickly picked up a piece of mango meat and put it in their mouths.
"Wow, it's delicious and so sweet."
Looking at their intoxicated expressions, if a director could film it, it could be used as a food advertisement.
Chen Chun, Zhan Aiju, Fang Meizhen, Shen Huishan and others were feasting on the food, with juices splashing everywhere. The female students in the same dormitory, Wang Shiyu, Li Yuechan, Yang Xiuyun, Guan Chuying, could not help but drool, but were too embarrassed to speak.
These four people are all city kids, and their parents are workers. They used to look down on Chen Chun and the others, thinking that they were all country bumpkins. Although they never quarreled with each other, the condescending and deliberate sense of alienation was still particularly obvious.
Ever since they learned that Chen Chun actually had a house of more than 80 square meters in the "cadre community", their self-esteem became a little inferior.
In fact, they had seen mangoes and pineapples, but had never eaten them. Only families of senior officials could afford these tropical fruits. Their parents only had a few dozen yuan a month and could not even afford to buy an apple, let alone a mango.
The four people looked at each other, feeling an indescribable sense of loss.
