"Okay, let's put everything else aside. Hurry and wash your hands and go eat. I guess you should be hungry by now. How long has it been since lunch?"
"Forget it. I ate a bit too much at noon and didn't do any exercise in the afternoon. I'm not hungry now."
——
The time came quickly and they set the day to leave. After that day, Xia Jin explained the situation to the people in the store and packed his luggage to go home.
On the way home, I also ordered a color TV. I originally wanted to order it from their county, but the journey was too far and I couldn't bring it with me.
So she had no choice but to give up. She went to the county over there to buy the color TV and asked someone to deliver it to her, and took them with her.
But there was no room on the bus, so only Gu Jingmo and Xia Jin took this bus home, while Grandpa Xia and the others still took the bus home.
Originally, the Xia family didn't want this TV because they thought it was too expensive and had no use for it.
But next time she insisted on buying it for them, and said that they could read it when they got home, otherwise it would be too boring. After her constant persuasion, Grandpa Xia finally agreed.
These people followed me home because they wanted to install it for themselves. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to install it themselves, after all, someone had installed it before.
They got home a little faster than Grandpa Xia and his friends by car, but Grandpa Xia had already given her the key to the house, so it didn't matter.
Just like before, their car attracted a lot of attention as soon as it entered the village. After all, not many families could afford a car at that time.
Fortunately, it was around three or four in the afternoon and everyone was in the fields. Apart from those old people, no one was outside, so they attracted less attention.
As soon as they entered the village, the old people who were watching the children under the big tree saw them first.
"There's a car. Who do you think it is? Besides the Xia family, who else in our village can afford a car?"
"You're stupid! Of course his fourth grandmother is from the Xia family. I heard from our village chief that their child did very well in the exams this year and they're going to hold a graduation banquet."
"Really? Our family is pretty good friends with them, so maybe we can go eat there and take advantage of their reputation."
"It should be true. I heard about this matter, but he went out of town and I didn't have time to ask. But now he is back."
"But this car is so small, how can it accommodate so many people from my family? I feel something is wrong. Maybe they are relatives from other families in our village."
"Impossible, impossible. Apart from my family, who else in our village has such a powerful relative who can afford a car?"
"That's right, if anyone had such a powerful relative, they would have been showing off a long time ago and would have envied the Xia family along with us."
"That's not necessarily true. When the little granddaughter of the Xia family came back, did you know that their family was so rich? Not only did you not know, but even Old Man Xia didn't know either."
"Maybe this is the same. They may have some relatives living away from home, who have made a fortune and want to come back to take care of the people in the village."
"Who knows if this is true? I can't say for sure. You said the car is so small, it definitely can't accommodate the Xia family, so it definitely isn't the Xia family."
"See, if you still don't believe me, then let's follow her and see where she stops."
"I just don't believe it. In our village, there is no one other than Xia Jin who can produce such a capable person. Maybe the car of yours is ahead because Old Man Xia and the others are behind."
Those people had nothing to do except chatting at the village entrance and watching the children, because they were old and people were afraid that they would get tired from working in the fields again.
Their children also don't want to be branded as unfilial, so no matter how tiring the work is, they won't be allowed to work in the fields.
At most, they would be asked to look after their own children. If there were no idle people in other families, they would also be sent to the village entrance to be looked after by them.
So they have nothing to do all day long and just like to gossip about other people's families and talk about the goings-on of other people to pass the time.
Now that I have driven into the village, of course I have to take a look, after all, there are not many cars in their county.
Of course, some people were not convinced. After all, the Xia family was the only dominant family in the village. He thought that if this person was not a relative of the Xia family, he might be able to curb the Xia family's arrogance.
After all, some people are used to it, while others are not. They just don't say it out loud because they have to arrange work for them.
When the Xia family was poor, they might have felt sorry for him, but once their family became rich, some people felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, they pretended well and no one noticed.
There was an old woman among these people who was like this. Before Grandma Xia passed away, the two of them were fighting openly and secretly, but they stopped fighting after Grandma Xia passed away.
So now seeing their granddaughter become so successful, he is of course unhappy, but he and his family still have to work for him, so he dare not say anything.
Now, seeing another car coming into the village, which was different from the one Xia family's granddaughter had ridden before, she couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, if other families in the village also have promising relatives, they won't have to be so cautious in taking it off the shelf, and she can say whatever she wants then.
Anyway, if she offends one family, there is still another one. What is she afraid of?
He had long disliked the Xia family. When the time comes, she will definitely treat them well. She thought silently in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt.
Didn’t the Xia family say that their granddaughter was promising and had received so much attention from the village? Let’s wait until someone comes to share their attention and see if they can still be so happy.
Moreover, this family will be more promising than the granddaughter of the Xia family later on. When that happens, they will surpass her. How can she not be happy?
So he followed the car and walked faster and faster. Although he was walking with his legs, he was not slow at all.
But the further they walked, the more they felt something was wrong, because the car's route was completely different from the Xia family's route.
"Look, I told you this, this must be from the Xia family. Why don't you believe it? Besides the Xia family, who else could there be in our village who has a promising future?"
"How can you be sure of that? Maybe they live next to the Xia family. Let's go and see if you're right."
