If Fang Xueting heard his son spouting such nonsense, he would definitely give him another beating.
After the four of them finished lunch, Xu Xiu, Zhang Aixiang, and Xiao Ruoyan tidied up the house.
Xiao Liang was tidying up some odds and ends.
Zhang Tianxiang was originally waiting in the car, but was later called by someone to do odd jobs and told to come over in the afternoon.
The main building was almost cleaned up. Xiao Ruoyan went to the kitchen to boil water, while Xu Xiu went to the entrance of the community to buy some snacks and fruit.
The four family members sat on the sofa chatting. After finishing his odd jobs, Zhang Tianxiang came to the neighborhood. He knew the address; he had been there before.
After entering, Xiao Ruoyan poured Zhang Tianxiang a glass of water, and Xu Xiu and Zhang Tianxiang chatted at the table in the dining room.
"Brother Zhang, would you be interested in working at the Xu-style Garment Factory in Shi County?"
"This... I don't know anything, all I have is strength."
“Brother Zhang’s factory also needs laborers, such as loading and unloading fabrics and clothes, which is more stable than doing odd jobs like you do.”
"It just so happens that the factory owner knows my dad and has some connections. He can talk to him for you. It shouldn't be a big problem. If you perform well during the probation period, he can get the factory to pay your social security."
Zhang Tianxiang stood up abruptly, patted his chest, and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry. If the factory really wants me, I will definitely do my best and won't make things difficult for you."
Xiao Liang, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything. He could roughly guess why Xu Xiu didn't say it was his own factory.
He became increasingly satisfied with his grandson-in-law.
Xiao Ruoyan understood Xu Xiu's intention. She secretly made up her mind that she must study hard so that she could help him in his career in the future. She didn't want to be a useless vase that could only be looked at.
Before they knew it, it was evening. Zhang Tianxiang prepared to take them back to the village, and Xu Xiu saw them off at the crossroads.
"Ruoyan, we're going out in a few days. Our family is hosting a dinner for Liu Qianxue's family. You can come along too."
"Okay, sure."
The two hugged for a while before reluctantly parting. Zhang Tianxiang looked at Xiao Liang and said, "Old Xiao, Heaven still has eyes."
"Who can argue with that?"
Xiao Liang watched Xu Xiu disappear from sight and thought to himself.
That evening, Xu Xiu went directly to Fang An's house, where they had already prepared all the dishes.
Not only Xu Lin, but Wang Wenxin was also there, and Xu Xiu's face darkened when he saw her.
"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to take advantage of me as a group?"
"Xiu, Fang An has been praising your cooking skills to the skies. Can we not come and try it?"
Xu Xiu took a fruit cell phone out of his bag and tossed it in front of Fang An.
"Alright, alright, you guys are the best. Old Fang bought you a phone, isn't my cousin being more than generous enough?"
"That's right, we're all planning to latch onto your coattails from now on."
Xu Lin joked from the side.
Wang Wenxin assisted Xu Xiu, and the two worked together to quickly cook a table full of dishes.
Xu Lin and Wang Wenxin both praised it highly after tasting it.
The four of them drank some wine and chatted about their lives. None of them were married, and they were enjoying their current lives to the fullest.
They drank until midnight before leaving one by one, and Xu Xiu slept at Fang An's place.
Having already paid all the necessary New Year's visits, Xu Xiu had nothing else to do, so he stayed at Fang An's place for a few days to fulfill his previous promise.
As a result, Xu Lin and Wang Wenxin would come to Fang An's place every day after get off work.
"Let's get together more often when we have time. We're all only children, so we can look after each other in the future."
After drinking some wine, Xu Lin became sentimental.
People who work in a company often have too many things they can't control, and Fang An is no exception, working in a hospital and also having many troubles.
Wang Wenxin is a senior in college and is looking for a job.
These past few days together have brought us all even closer together.
Fang Xueting called early on the eleventh day of the lunar new year.
"I'll treat your Uncle Liu and his family to dinner tonight, and invite Ruoyan to come back to Jincheng early."
"Okay, Mom, are you eating at home?"
"Yes, you'll be cooking for the family dinner, so come back early. I'll prepare the dishes for you."
"......"
Xu Xiu sighed inwardly, "I might as well switch careers and become a chef."
I sent a message to Hanhan as soon as I hung up the phone.
Your Majesty: "Are you up? Have Brother Zhang take you out; we're going to Jincheng for dinner."
Her Majesty: "Get up, I'll change my clothes and then we'll leave."
Xu Xiu also went back to his grandfather's house to "dress up" before going to the intersection to wait for Hanhan.
He was completely stunned when he saw Xiao Ruoyan appear before him.
With light makeup, slightly wavy long hair, and casual clothes, she attracts attention from passersby on the street.
Xu Xiu couldn't resist going forward to think about "sticking together".
"Xiu, am I dressed too flashy today?"
"No, what's so flashy about it? I'm not wearing heavy makeup or showing my chest."
He paused for a moment when he said this.
"Xiu, do you like that kind of thing?"
"How could that be? I only like you the way you are. It's fine if you want to dress like that, but only in private, for us to admire each other..."
"You filthy scoundrel."
As Xiao Ruoyan spoke, she punched Xu Xiu with her fist.
Xu Xiu hugged Xiao Ruoyan tightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, have you missed me after not seeing me for a few days?"
"Yes, I've thought about it."
"How can you prove you miss me?"
Having spent so much time with Xu Xiu, Xiao Ruoyan knew what he meant by those words.
He stood on tiptoe and kissed Xu Xiu.
Xu Xiu was finally satisfied and invited her into the car.
Upon returning to Jincheng, Xu Xiu immediately began working in the kitchen.
Fang Xueting and Xiao Ruoyan helped out, while Xu Tinglong drove to the Liu family to pick them up.
As lunchtime approached, Liu Wenzhou and his group arrived at the villa.
Tang Xiaoshuang was utterly astonished when she saw Xu Xiu cooking in the kitchen.
Moreover, she saw a girl in the kitchen who was just as beautiful and had a figure as good as her daughter.
Liu Qianxue had also dressed up specially today, spending a full two hours finalizing her makeup and attire.
Watching the two working together seamlessly in the kitchen, Liu Qianxue's eyes reddened slightly, but she still forced herself to remain calm.
Xu Tinglong invited everyone to sit down at the table. Xu Xiu said there were still a few vegetables left to cook, but Fang Xueting told everyone to start eating first, since food gets cold quickly in winter.
After the food was served, no one at the table touched it much. They waited until Xu Xiu had finished cooking before they started eating.
Xu Xiu took off his apron and sat down at the dining table with Xiao Ruoyan.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Tang, I'm going to make a fool of myself today. Please try my cooking."
“My dad originally suggested eating out, but I felt that it would be more lively to eat at home during the Lunar New Year, and I also wanted to cook myself to thank you both for taking care of me over the years.”
Tang Xiaoshuang quickly stood up and said, "Xiao Xu, your cooking is even better than our housekeeper's. You've really put your heart into it. You've worked hard too. Please sit down and eat."
After saying that, he picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Xu Xiu's.
"Xiao Xu, who is this?"
Liu Wenzhou smiled.
"I forgot to introduce you all. This is my girlfriend, and she's also Qianxue's and my classmate."
As soon as Xu Xiu finished speaking, Xiao Ruoyan stood up and introduced herself.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt. My name is Xiao Ruoyan. I am Qianxue's high school classmate and also Xu Xiu's... girlfriend."
