"No, I'll go home now and talk to her." Then he stood up, took the small stool and left.
Father Xia and his friends didn't know that the villagers were still talking about them after they left, and were still thinking about introducing them to potential partners. They were rushing home to report to Grandpa Xia.
When they arrived at Uncle Xia's house, Grandpa Xia looked at the calf they bought and smiled from ear to ear. He stroked the calf's body with his hands as if cherishing it, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
Winter goes and spring comes, the ice and snow melt, all things come back to life, and in the blink of an eye it is April.
During this month, Xia Jin's old house was demolished, the foundation of the new house has been laid, and it is more than half built. The workers are working overtime every day.
Grandpa Xia and his family watched with their own eyes as the house they had lived in for decades was demolished and cleared out. Looking at the house in front of him, Grandpa Xia thought of his deceased wife and parents.
This house was built by my parents for me to marry a wife. It has sheltered me and my family from wind and rain for so many years. Now it has completed its mission and it is time to retire.
Everything is going in a good direction. Xia Jin also found a new store last month. The location is good and the house is new. Everything makes her satisfied. The moment she saw the house for the first time, Xia Jin decided that this was the one.
After Xia Jin bought the house, she still asked the same people to renovate it. Xia Jin was not idle during the renovation. She had to recruit people for the new store and train new employees.
Since the new store didn’t have dormitories, Xia Jin rented two houses nearby as staff dormitories. Everything was done according to the standards of the previous store.
Xia Jin's cousin does a great job in the kitchen and has gradually become able to handle things on his own. Xia Jin can safely hand over the kitchen of the new store to him and only needs to find a few helpers to assist him.
By early April, Xia Jin's house had been almost renovated, and the employees of the new store had also been trained. All they had to do was buy all the furniture and find a good day to open the store.
That Sunday, Xia Jin called her brother and prepared to go to the furniture store to customize a batch of tables, chairs and benches. She bought breakfast early in the morning and knocked on the door of Xia Yanjun and their room.
Xia Jin told them last night not to go to the store today and to accompany her to buy things, so Xia Yanjun was not too surprised when he saw Xia Jin outside the door early in the morning.
He just said, "Xiao Jin, you came so early. Please go upstairs and wait for a while. I'll go call your second brother and the others."
"It's okay, brother. Let them sleep a little longer. They're tired from working these days. They need to rest more."
The two of them walked into the house. Xia Jin put the meal on the table and looked at the porridge cooking on the stove and said, "Brother, did you make this this morning? It just so happens that I didn't buy soy milk this morning."
"Yeah." Xia Yanjun poured a bowl of rice for Xia Jin and placed it in front of her, saying, "Xiao Jin, eat first. Don't worry about the other two."
"Xia Jin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." Then he opened the fried dough sticks and buns he bought.
After the two of them finished breakfast and waited for a while, Xia Yanbing and the others finally got up. They were so sleepy that they didn't see Xia Jin. After washing their faces with cold water and waking up, they looked at Xia Jin in front of them and said,
"Xiao Jin, you came so early."
"I woke up early and had nothing to do at home, so I came here early. Come and have dinner after washing your face. I bought some buns and my brother made some porridge for you."
"Uh-huh."
The two of them quickly finished their meal, packed up their things, and the four of them headed to the furniture factory. On the way there, Xia Yanbing said, "Xiaojin, why haven't you seen your boyfriend these past two days?"
"It's been two weeks now, about. Before, the only times we met were in the evenings. We rarely saw him during the day. He wasn't there when I invited you to the movies last time."
"He's busy with work, but he's free tonight. I'll ask him to treat you to dinner when he gets home."
Xia Yanjun said, "Let's invite him. We, as his elder brother, have never invited anyone to dinner before."
"Then you guys can discuss it with him. I'll just eat and not pay."
The group quickly arrived at the furniture store by bus. Xia Jin found the old master who had made the furniture for the hot pot restaurant last time, so they all knew how to do it.
We quickly agreed on the same price and set the date to be ten days later, just in time for the opening after the installation was completed without any delay.
After Xia Jin made the reservation, he walked around with a few of them for a while, bought some household consumables, and then took a car back home.
At noon, Xia Jin invited them to his home for dinner and prepared a table full of delicious food for them. Xia Yanbing was very satisfied with the food and praised it repeatedly.
It was a little after four when Gu Jingmo arrived home. He looked at everyone in Xia Jin's family and greeted them one by one. Xia Jin looked at Gu Jingmo and said with a smile, "Dear Mr. Gu, my brothers want to treat you to dinner tonight. I wonder if you have time."
Looking at the quirky Xia Jin, Gu Jingmo walked over, touched her head and said, "I have time, but if anyone wants to treat you, I'll treat you. Since everyone has time, I'll treat you brothers to a meal."
"I should have invited you to this dinner before, but I was busy with work at the time and didn't have time to ask for your forgiveness, brothers."
Xia Yanjun smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Work is important, but let us do it this time."
"No need, let's do it next time. It's only right that I should treat you. After all..." Gu Jingmo said this and looked at Xia Jin. Everyone knew what he meant by the unfinished words.
Xia Jin said with a smile: "Brother, you can let A Jing treat us. He is very rich. Let's go to a rich family and then you can treat him later."
After Xia Jin finished speaking, he glanced at them for a few seconds and then said, "Okay, it's decided. Let's think about what we're going to eat."
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "You choose."
Xia Jin led them to the largest restaurant in the county, asked for a table upstairs, and ordered food. Speaking of which, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
On the way home, Xia Jin sighed and said, "I have to go to school again tomorrow. I don't want to go to school. I have to meet people I hate."
Xia Yanbing said from the side: "That annoying person, is she your stepfather's daughter? She still dares to bully you now. We didn't hit her lightly."
"She didn't bully me, it's just that the way she looks at me every day is a little creepy. But now she has no time to care about me, she is busy trying to win back her brother Zisen."
After Xia Qingqing's unremitting efforts this month, Luo Zisen's attitude finally softened a little, and he would sometimes talk to her. It was no longer Xia Qingqing who was acting alone.
Although they haven't completely reconciled yet, Xia Jin feels that it will happen soon. Before the end of the month, Luo Zisen will definitely forgive Xia Qingqing and be with him again.
