Xia Jin smiled and said, "Their family is very welcoming and has been very kind to me. I even received several red envelopes. The family atmosphere is also very good. No one in the family has noticed anything unusual yet."
"That's fine. Seeing your boyfriend like that, I'm afraid his family won't accept you. After all, your boyfriend's family must be better off than Luo Zisen's. They look down on Xia Qingqing's family, so I'm afraid you'll encounter the same problem."
"That's not the case. Her parents are very good to me. Not every family is like the Luo family. After all, love is also important. If you don't like someone who is well-matched, there will be many problems after marriage."
Chen Xin: "That's right. Your boyfriend's family probably wouldn't bother doing such a thing. They're already doing well, and their children's spouses probably don't care about the family. As long as they like it, that's fine."
"yes."
Chen Xin suddenly approached and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "But have you ever met someone who likes Gu Jingmo?"
Xia Jin raised an eyebrow and said, "Why, are you curious? I won't tell you."
"Seeing that you have encountered it, how is it easy to deal with it? What is her reaction when she sees Gu Jingmo? Sister, if Gu Jingmo has any hesitation, this man should not be kept. You know, he is fickle."
Xia Jin looked at Chen Xin indignantly and said, "When we met, Gu Jingmo was completely on my side, and I even beat him up."
"Tell me quickly."
Xia Jin recounted her encounter with Liang Shu. After listening to Xia Jin's account, Chen Xin gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Well done! How can we be called country bumpkins? Doesn't she just have a good grandfather? She's so arrogant! If you don't know her, you might think she's a princess."
"But I heard you say that Gu Jingmo's family is similar to hers. Did the Gu family blame you for beating her?"
Xia Jin shook her head and said, "No, their family is also annoyed with this person, but they have never had a reason to deal with her. This time I am helping them vent their anger."
"That's good. I'm glad the Gu family didn't blame you. And this Gu Jingmo is not bad. At least it seems that he is devoted to you now."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Did you go anywhere to have fun in Beijing? Isn't it much better there than here?"
Xia Jin said, "We went to see the Forbidden City and Beijing University. I even took some photos and will show them to you later. It was snowing when we went to the Forbidden City. It was so beautiful, with its red walls and white tiles."
Chen Xin said enviously, "I want to see it too."
"Didn't we agree to take the exam together and go to the capital? Then we can go and see it together."
"Okay, okay."
The two chatted for a while and then Xia Jin left. This time, Xia Jin did not take a car. It was not far anyway, so he walked slowly towards his own store. It was already dark at this time.
Xia Jin went to the hot pot restaurant first. It was peak time when she arrived. The waiter didn't notice Xia Jin, and Xia Jin didn't care and went straight to the cashier.
Liu Zhonghua was originally keeping accounts when he saw Xia Jin coming over. He said in surprise: "Boss, you are back."
Xia Jin nodded and asked, "How's business these past two days?"
"It's great, a bit like the first few days after opening. Maybe we didn't have enough food during the Chinese New Year, so as soon as we opened, people came in droves to eat. Business is booming."
"It's fine, but no matter how good the business is, you still have to do what you should do and not mess around, okay?"
"I see, boss. Do you want to eat here?"
Xia Jin waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's weird to eat alone. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go take a look at the other side."
"Okay, goodbye, boss."
Xia Jin looked around the hot pot restaurant and couldn't help nodding. Everything was done very well, without any cheating. All visible areas were cleaned spotlessly. No matter how busy they were, they always smiled at the customers and were very gentle.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Xia Jin went to the Malatang restaurant next door. There were more people in this restaurant than in the hot pot restaurant. After all, the prices were there, and the Malatang restaurant was affordable and filling.
Xia Jin walked over to the cashier and asked about the situation over the past few days. It was similar to the other store. Xia Jin no longer took vegetables out of the space, so the store's winter vegetables were only spinach, rapeseed, cabbage, and cabbage, as well as lotus root slices that could be stored for a long time. Perhaps the dishes were a bit simple.
The store manager said this, and Xia Jin heard her say, "There's nothing we can do. These are the only dishes we have in winter. When the weather warms up, there will be more dishes."
"Boss, your friend is not planting Dapeng anymore?"
Where did Xia Jin get his friend who grows greenhouse crops? However, he always had to cover up his lies with another one. Xia Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't do it anymore. My family found him a job. He's a college student, and his family always thinks growing greenhouse crops is not a proper job and a waste of his college tuition."
The store manager said, "Oh, I was wondering how this guy could grow vegetables in winter. You're a college student. It's a waste of farming."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Everyone has their own opinion. As long as you like it and can survive doing this kind of work, I don't think it's worth it."
"Okay, let's stop chatting. Let me pick a few dishes and ask you to cook them for me. I'll go out and buy a lunch box and pack it up. I'll go home and eat."
"Okay, boss."
Xia Jin selected what she wanted and also chose some of Gu Jingmo's favorite foods and handed them to the store manager. The mall was still closed at this time.
When Xia Jin entered, there were only a few scattered people in the store besides the sales clerks, and some of the sales clerks had already started packing up and preparing to go off work.
Xia Jin had a clear goal and bought three of the largest aluminum lunch boxes. This kind of thing is not a big deal. After using it this time, he can just wash it and put it away and use it next time.
After buying the lunch box, Xia Jin returned to the store, went to the kitchen to clean the new lunch box, and sat at the cashier, chatting with the store manager while waiting for her meal.
After Xia Jin received the spicy hot pot, she handed the lunch boxes to the kitchen staff. They helped her pack the food into the lunch boxes. Xia Jin then carried the three lunch boxes in a net bag and went back.
There were quite a few people on the bus in the evening. It was the time when people were going home after playing outside. When Xia Jin got on the bus, there were no seats left, so she stood all the way with her lunch box.
When Xia Jin got home, Gu Jingmo had not returned yet. When Gu Jingmo left, he told her that he might come back very late at night and asked Xia Jin not to wait for him for dinner.
Xia Jin felt the food in the lunch box and found it was just the right temperature, so there was no need to heat it up. Xia Jin took out one box for herself and put the other one next to the stove to keep it warm so that it wouldn't get cold when Gu Jingmo came back.
She hadn't eaten spicy hot pot for a long time and was a little greedy when she saw the smell, so she turned on the TV and started eating. She also opened a bottle of drink for herself and felt very comfortable.
