Not only was she surprised at the dinner table, but Grandpa Xia and the others were also surprised.
Although no one had told them about Gu Jingmo's identity before, they could tell from his usual behavior that his family conditions must be very good.
How could one not be surprised that the same person could talk so clearly about farming? At the same time, Grandpa Xia's satisfaction with him increased by another level.
After all, people who have such good family conditions and are willing to humble themselves to make money must be people who are hard-working and adaptable.
——
Time soon came to the day of her graduation banquet. After getting up in the morning, Grandpa Xia and the others dressed themselves up nicely.
He was wearing the same clothes he had worn when he accompanied her to school. This was also the only formal outfit they brought with them on this trip.
Since the time was set at noon, there was no need to rush in the morning. They went out to buy dinner and came back to eat slowly.
After dinner, Xia Jin returned to her room and changed into a dress based on the drawings she had drawn earlier. She then went to choose fabric to make it.
Wearing it will make you look pure and gentle. It won’t be too revealing or unacceptable when worn here.
After all, there are already dresses similar to hers. She just made some changes based on that one.
This skirt not only flatters the figure but also incorporates her favorite elements, giving people a refreshing feeling.
After a while, they closed the door and prepared to go to the restaurant. After all, they were the hosts and had to keep an eye on things there.
If they arrived late and the guests had already arrived, it would not be good because they still had to greet them at the door.
After all, if they were not accepted, the hall would have been booked today, and if they were not at the door, the guests would most likely be stopped.
When they arrived, the waiters were busy setting up and wiping the tables.
The chefs in the kitchen are also preparing the ingredients for lunch. Dishes like stewed pork elbows have to be prepared early and then stewed.
Otherwise, if you wait until the guests arrive to prepare it, it will easily not be cooked well, and even if it is cooked well, it will not taste good because it will not be chewy and will not be flavorful.
Xia Jin didn't let Grandpa Xia and the others stand at the door waiting for the guests to come, but asked them to sit inside. She and Gu Jingmo moved a small stool and sat at the door.
People started arriving a little after half past ten. The first group to arrive were employees from the Xia Jin store. They were from the same store and came together.
Although Xia Jin had told them before that they didn't need to prepare anything or pay any money, they still didn't want to do it after thinking about it.
However, due to what their boss had said before, they did not dare to prepare anything too expensive, otherwise they would make the boss angry again.
So they worked together as a store to buy her a gift. Although the gift was a bit expensive for them if they bought it individually, it didn't seem expensive at all once they pooled their money.
It should still be within their acceptable range, and it is a face-saving gift to give it to them. If they give something too cheap, they will not be able to present it.
Looking at the gifts they gave her, Xia Jin estimated the price, thought it was acceptable, and accepted it generously.
After all, they have bought it. If I don’t accept it, they will think I look down on them.
At worst, you can just prepare an extra gift for them when you have a holiday. After all, it is their thoughtfulness and it is hard to refuse.
So she put the four gifts behind her, led the people into the house, and took them to where they were to sit.
The store has already placed some dried fruits and some snacks on the table, so everyone can eat them during the meal, otherwise it would be too boring.
So everyone started eating melon seeds and chatting. Although they all had the same boss, many of them had never met each other.
We were all a little curious since we were suddenly having dinner together.
But people in this line of work are all good at talking, and they became familiar with each other in no time, and then began to exchange gossip they had heard.
After all, they receive so many people in the store every day and can hear a lot of things that others don’t know.
Everyone shared the most surprising gossip they had heard, and everyone was very happy after hearing it.
If Xia Jin had been able to leave, he would have wanted to go over and listen. After all, he had listened for a while and felt it was truly amazing.
There were all kinds of things going on, but she couldn't hear them clearly, not to mention the sound of people laughing and joking.
But she was the protagonist today and had no way to go over and chat with them, so she could only think about it.
She sat in her seat, twisting her neck with great effort to stretch over there. Although she couldn't hear everything, she could hear some bits and pieces, and maybe she could deduce what happened.
After a while, some classmates came over, most of them were several people who bought a gift for her.
After all, we don’t know when we will see each other again after this separation. Besides, they have a pretty good relationship, and giving a gift is also to make Xia Jin remember them.
Another reason is that their families are well-off and there is no reason for them to go out empty-handed, so their good upbringing allowed them to prepare this gift.
Xia Jin happily accepted their gifts. They were also going to hold a graduation banquet anyway, so he could just send them back when they held the banquet. It was no big deal.
This kind of thing is a give and take, you give me something and I give you something. If someone gives you something and you don't give it to them, then this relationship will definitely not last long.
Xia Jin took their things and led them to the table of classmates, which was also the table closest to her.
After all, we are all classmates and will be going our separate ways soon. Let's take advantage of the time we still have to meet and have a good chat.
Otherwise, I don’t know when we can sit together and chat and eat like this again. After all, college is different from high school.
Going to college means that they have to separate from their classmates who they have been with for three years. Some students choose to go to college in the same city, while others are admitted to other places.
Generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, they will most likely end up working there, so the chances of meeting them will be very few.
Why not meet and chat while there is still a chance? Otherwise, when you want to chat in the end, there will be no chance.
