When Xiao Ruoyan woke up in the morning, she felt that her lips were a little swollen. Then she looked at Xu Xiu, who was sleeping next to her and grinning like an idiot, with a resentful expression.
After some playful fighting in bed, the two reluctantly got out of bed.
They started playfully fighting again while brushing their teeth in the bathroom.
The two of them were like children. Today they were going back to Shi County. Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi didn't plan to go back because they didn't have any relatives to pay respects to.
With all his elders still alive, Xu Xiu probably wouldn't have gone back alone if it weren't for accompanying Xiao Ruoyan.
After they finished packing, the two went to the school parking lot to drive the Volkswagen they had bought for Hanhan back home.
Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan plan to leave this car at the school this year for Ning Bufan, Wang Mengqi, and the others to use as spares. This means that all four of them can use the car, and whoever needs to drive it can drive it.
The spare key is kept in the studio, which Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi can use at any time.
Xiao Ruoyan didn't say much along the way, probably because her lips were uncomfortable and she didn't want to talk.
It was already dark when they returned to Shixian County. Zhang Aixiang had already prepared dinner. Xiao Liang poured himself a small glass of wine, and there was another glass of wine on the opposite side of the table.
After Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan returned, Zhang Aixiang hurriedly went to open the door.
Upon entering, Xu Xiu noticed the extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the table but didn't say anything.
After sitting down at the table, Xu Xiuxian picked up his wine glass and said to the empty seat, "Uncle, I'll take care of things in this house from now on, so you can rest assured over there."
"If you need anything, just send it to me in a dream, and I guarantee I'll take care of it perfectly."
Xu Xiu didn't want the atmosphere to be too oppressive, so he spoke the first sentence rather solemnly, but the second sentence was more casual.
Xiao Liang also raised his glass in a toast, "Hua Guo, this is your son-in-law, a very good young man."
Zhang Aixiang also raised her glass and said, "Old Xiao, your son-in-law is just as outstanding as you. Our daughter is so lucky in the future."
Xiao Ruoyan also raised her drink and chimed in, "Dad, Xu Xiu is very good to me, and also very good to Mom and Grandpa."
At that moment, the chopsticks that were originally on the bowl inexplicably fell down, as if in response to them.
After finishing his meal, Xu Xiu went straight back to his grandfather's house to stay. The next morning, he went to the village to pay respects at the graves with Xiao Ruoyan's family.
When visiting the grave, Xu Xiu performed all the proper etiquette perfectly, without any hint of acting.
For some reason, when he visited Xiao Ruoyan's grave, he would always recall the heartbreaking scene from his previous life sitting in front of her grave.
So when I was worshipping, tears inexplicably streamed down my face.
Even Zhang Aixiang didn't cry, but Xu Xiu started crying. Actually, Zhang Aixiang was quite happy to come this time.
Because Xu Xiu's appearance changed her family's life, she wanted to happily tell her husband about what had happened recently.
After the worship ceremony, Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan returned to the old house first, and Xiao Liang followed them back, leaving Zhang Aixiang alone to talk to Hua Guo about her feelings.
Watching the two loving young people on the way, Xiao Liang felt very gratified. Perhaps because of his cheerful mood, his health had improved a lot recently.
The hospital's test results were also better than the previous ones.
Back at the old house, the three of them tidied up together. After Zhang Aixiang returned at noon, they had a simple meal together and then left the village.
In the afternoon, at their new home in Shixian County, the four of them made Qingming cakes, which were originally supposed to be done a few days ago.
But because we were waiting for Xu Xiu and his daughter to come back, we waited until today to do it.
Although it was Qingming Festival, the house was filled with laughter and joy, and Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan's faces and clothes were covered in flour.
The two of them were restless while making fruit. Zhang Aixiang found it both funny and annoying. When they ate fruit that night, they were still arguing about whose fruit was better.
Before they knew it, there was only one day left of the holiday. Xu Xiu came early in the morning to pick up Hanhan so they could go back to school together.
Zhang Aixiang froze a large bag of Qingming cakes overnight so they could take them to school, knowing that their school had separate rooms with refrigerators.
They also brought some homemade fermented bean curd, chili sauce, and other things.
I had barely settled into my seat back at the staff dormitory at Hangzhou University when my roommates from room 203 blocked my door.
Since he couldn't keep his promise to treat them to dinner during the holidays, Xu Xiu booked a large private room at a hotel near his new company.
There is a large table inside that can seat about twenty people.
He invited everyone in the studio, as well as Du Yuanyuan and Qin Siwen, to come together.
Everyone took several taxis and arrived at the hotel in batches.
Stepping into the private room, wow, there was a huge round table, a TV, a sofa, and all that.
Xu Xiu had already ordered the dishes in advance. As the dishes were served one after another, he saw all kinds of seafood, beef, mutton, pork, various kinds of fish, delicacies from land and sea, and big fish and big meat. This was probably the best way to describe today's dishes.
Pang Wenjun's mouth watered; many people were eating at such a high-end hotel for the first time.
Seemingly hesitant, Xu Xiu stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, please make yourselves at home. Today is just a casual meal for you all. Eat and drink as much as you like."
"I'll order more if it's not enough, let's treat it as a buffet."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Pang Wenjun whispered from across the table, "Old Xu, can you pack it up?"
"Buffet, no takeout allowed."
"The gate is right in front of you. Goodbye and don't come back!"
Xu Xiu pointed to the door of the private room.
Seeing this, Pang Wenjun quickly lowered his head, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Xu looked at him with a disgusted expression, "Old Pang, as your roommate, I feel a little ashamed."
"Get out, get out, get out..."
During the meal, Han Yun and Qin Siwen seemed to have something on their minds and didn't eat much. Xu Xiu noticed this but didn't intend to ask. Everyone has their own worries.
Perhaps because they weren't allowed to take leftovers home, Pang Wenjun ate his meal like he was fighting for his life, which Wen Zhicai, sitting next to him, couldn't bear to watch.
He said to Xu Xiu, "Old Xu, maybe we shouldn't invite this kind of person to dinner next time?"
I think so too.
Xiao Xu chimed in from the side.
Pang Wenjun glanced at the trash in front of Xiao Xu and said, "Old Xiao, what right do you have to talk to me? You eat just as much as I do."
"Hehe, at least I didn't say I wanted it packed up."
Throughout the meal, all I heard was these two bickering. Watching their performance was much more interesting than watching the TV in the private room.
After the meal, everyone felt too weak to walk and had difficulty getting up, so they had to hold onto their chairs to stand up.
The waiters in the private room all had very interesting expressions.
Xu Xiu kept his word and provided plenty of all kinds of food, making it practically a buffet.
Back at school, Xu Xiu went back to his dorm to sleep, and Xiao Ruoyan also went back to her dorm.
The two separated as soon as they entered the school gate. Back in the dormitory, Pang Wenjun vomited in the toilet. They hadn't drunk any alcohol that day, but had eaten too much...
Wen Zhicai returned to his dormitory and showed the application materials he had prepared to Xu Xiu.
Xu Xiu glanced at it and found it to be very detailed and of a high standard, especially the content in the PowerPoint presentation.
The text and images are well-matched, with detailed explanations where necessary and brief mentions of less important information.
Even an ordinary person can understand it clearly and know what it is about.
Sure enough, there were some reliable roommates. Xu Xiu turned around and saw Pang Wenjun still vomiting in the toilet. His heart sank.
Seeing Xu Xiu's expression, Xiao Xu walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Old Xu, having a roommate like this is not just your misfortune, but our misfortune."
