After watching several people sit down, Qi Siling stood alone at the door, making sure he could hear their conversation while also keeping an eye on the small supermarket.
Xiao Hai leaned his head over and whispered beside him, "Brother Cao may not be in a good mood recently, you should take it easy." Thinking of going to school with him in the morning, walking beside him felt like winter and he was about to get frostbite.
"I didn't offend him." Qi Siling felt helpless. This was truly an unprovoked disaster. "This was imposed by the Academy themselves. I didn't ask for it."
"Hehe, it's me. I'm jealous too." Xiao Hai didn't think much of it, but knowing Cao An was a former police officer, he must have wanted to join the army. Suddenly finding out his sister and brother-in-law had military rank, wouldn't he vent his anger on Xia Youyou? If he couldn't vent his anger on Xia Youyou, then Brother Qi would become the scapegoat.
Qi Siling slapped him on the head and said, "Stop gloating over other people's misfortune." She ignored his teasing and turned back to go to the small supermarket.
He glanced at the girl behind the curtain and saw that she was sleeping soundly. He turned around and took out two contracts from the drawer. These were the part-time contracts that Xia Youyou had put in there a long time ago. They were different from full-time contracts, but they still needed to be signed.
He took the contract out and handed it to Xiao Hai, "Take it over, let the two of them take a look and then sign it."
After the group finished their conversation and came out, Xiao Hai led them away, while Cao An stayed behind with the contract. He glanced at Qi Siling, who was leaning against the entrance of the small supermarket with a calm demeanor, and clenched his teeth. What if he still wanted to beat someone up?
Qi Siling looked at him with amusement, "Brother~"
Cao An shuddered, his entire face wrinkled into a ball. He could no longer endure it, and without needing to endure it any longer, he raised his hand and attacked.
The two men started fighting in the front yard.
There were no real blows, only brief ones. After a long struggle, neither side was victorious.
Xia Youyou opened the curtain and came out. The two of them had just stopped fighting. Looking at the man panting on the front yard, she raised an eyebrow and walked forward, "What are you two doing?"
Qi Siling was about to complain when Cao An spoke up, "Your man deserves a beating."
The little girl looked at the two of them with a smile. Qi Siling walked over to her and smoothed her hair. "Are you still sleepy?"
She shook her head and yawned delicately. She felt much better after a good sleep. She leaned on his chest and looked curiously at Cao An's hand. "Is this the contract? Did someone come here again?"
Cao An handed her the contract. "Zhang Sheng and a classmate from a struggling family in the dormitory want to come here for part-time work. I've already discussed it with them, and it's signed. You keep it safe." He glanced at Qi Siling and rolled his eyes. "It's still early. Lock the door and go back to eat before coming back."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for the two of them.
The couple was left staring at each other in wide eyes.
Qi Siling gave her a kiss, led her out of the supermarket, turned around to close the door, locked it, and then they went home side by side.
When they got home, the students from Hua University had just come out. Some of the faster ones had already taken their seats in the restaurant. The two of them walked through the restaurant and went to the back.
Cao An had already brought the food to the table, and Na Ru and Chen Caiyun had already sat down and were waiting.
Xia Youyou trotted in and approached Naru, "Sister Naru, your dress is so beautiful today." It was a light yellow dress with a knitted boa over it and a pair of small leather shoes on her feet, which made her look even more gentle and quiet.
Although it was already summer, she was still a little afraid of the cold. But her coldness didn't refer to the temperature on her skin, but the coldness from the bones to the outside. Every night she needed Qi Siling's big stove to keep her from shivering.
Even though she wore skirts last year, it was only rarely done. Sometimes she even had to wear a small bodice in the morning and evening to protect her chest.
If you can wear a long skirt like this five times a year, it’s considered a lot.
The woman talked endlessly about clothes. Naru's clothes were brought by her parents from Hong Kong. Recently, they felt that there was no way to reverse the situation and had to compromise, so their relationship was not so tense.
Chen Caiyun, who was standing by, listened for a while and wanted to chime in when the conversation turned to clothes. However, just as she was about to open her mouth, she was silenced by Qi Siling's cold look.
She lowered her head, feeling a surge of jealousy. They were both reborn, so why was Xia Youyou so successful while she was still so unsuccessful? If… if she also had a big boss like this to protect her, and had the ability to make money, would this man be more gentle with her?
Every time she tried to get closer to Xia Youyou, or to say a few words, Qi Siling's cold eyes would sweep across her, making her hair stand on end. Why? She was just trying to get close to her, not to hurt her.
Qi Siling didn't care what she said in her heart. He knew that there was something wrong with this woman from the first time he met her. How could he allow someone who was in danger at any time to be like a time bomb around him?
After they had their meal, the couple hurried back to the supermarket.
As soon as the door was opened, Xianren Jin ran out from the alley on the side.
He gasped, hunched over with his hands on his knees, "I... huh... I'm going to work."
Xia Youyou looked him up and down. He looked much cleaner than he had that day. Even his hair had been cut, parted neatly in a 3:7 style. His clothes were no longer greasy, suggesting they were new. She sniffed closely, but there was no peculiar smell. Nodding with satisfaction, she gestured to Qi Siling for him to follow her inside.
He walked into the cashier's counter and took a contract from the drawer. "Can you read?"
Xianren Jin nodded, he graduated from junior high school.
"Take a look at the contract and sign it if you're sure. You'll be assigned to night watch, with food and lodging provided, for 30 yuan a month."
Upon hearing such a good offer, Xianren Jin immediately signed his name. Remember, when he was working at the factory, he only made 26 yuan a month, not even including food and lodging. The last time he came here to see the workers' meals, they had meat every meal. These days, any family that has some meat is considered well-off, especially here, with meat every meal!
With a flourish of his pen, he handed the contract to the girl and said, "Signed. When do you start work?"
"It can be done tonight." Xia Youyou confirmed the contract, which had neat handwriting on it. "Your name is Jinbao?" Unable to hold it back, the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger, and finally she laughed out loud.
Xianren Jin touched his head awkwardly. What happened to his name?
Qi Siling was helpless and rubbed her head. "I just finished eating. I'm going to have a stomachache from laughing so hard."
After finally stopping her laughter, Xia Youyou looked at Xianren Jin apologetically, "Sorry, this name reminds me of someone, I didn't mean to make fun of you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xianren Jinzhi waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.
"Brother Qi, take him to check out the room over there, the one under the stairs." They had considered that there would definitely be a need for night watch, so they simply built the space under the stairs into a small room, which came in handy.
"good."
