Anyway, their family was the happiest at the dinner table. The fourth family was also okay, but the other two families were not in such a good mood. Although they didn't say anything, they were still jealous of the third family's good luck. It was just a couple of slaps, but they were still pretending to be pitiful in front of the old man.
Xia Jin returned to Gu Jingmo's house and told the two elders of the Gu family what happened today. Old man Gu said not to worry about it, he would take responsibility if there was any problem, and the Liang family didn't dare to go too far, because it was originally their problem.
When Xia Jin heard what Gu's father said, she was no longer worried. Not only did Gu's father not blame Xia Jin, he also praised Xia Jin for doing a good job.
Gu Zhaozhao said excitedly, "You're amazing! I've long disliked that Liang Shu. She acts like my uncle's fiancée all day long and refuses to listen to any warnings."
"How shameless! No matter what our family says to others, she claims to be my uncle's fiancée. We're left with no recourse. We want to beat her up, but we don't even have a legitimate reason."
"Now that you beat her up, it's a great way for us to vent our anger. It's a good beating."
Xia Jin said a little embarrassedly: "I was afraid that my impulsiveness would cause trouble for you and you would blame me."
Gu Zhaozhao said, "What's the trouble? This is all Liang Shu's fault. If it were me, she deserves to be beaten. If I hadn't met you today, I would have definitely been bullied to death by someone with no family background."
Mother Gu sat aside and said, "Yes, that little girl does look down on others. If you provoke someone whose family background is not as good as hers, there will be no good results. Xiaojin, you fought well."
After dinner at Gu's house, the two returned to the courtyard. Xia Jin leaned on the sofa and made plans for tomorrow. She was about to go back because she wanted to buy some local specialties to take back.
Gu Jingmo also went back with them. Although it was the New Year, they had left people to watch over the ship. Originally, other people were going to replace the people there to go home, but Xia Jin was about to go back, so Gu Jingmo decided to go and watch it himself and let the others spend more time with their families.
Xia Jin prepared the plan and Gu Jingmo boiled the water. After they washed up, Gu Jingmo took a look at Xia Jin's schedule, made some changes, and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Gu Jingmo went to buy Xia Jin an authentic Beijing breakfast at her request. Fearing that Xia Jin might not be used to it, he also bought some of her usual breakfast.
When Gu Jingmo came home with his things, Xia Jin had just woken up and was washing up. Seeing Gu Jingmo coming back, Xia Jin asked with sparkling eyes, "Did you buy it?"
Gu Jingmo put the bag in front of her and shook it, saying, "I bought it, but I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it, so I bought some other things."
Xia Jin wiped her face and said, "Is it really not delicious?"
Gu Jingmo said, "After all these years, I still can't get used to drinking that soy milk, but my dad and his family like it very much. Try it later and see if you like it."
After Gu Jingmo finished speaking, he put the things on the table, took a bowl and poured out the soy milk he bought for Xia Jin, and put the fried dough sticks and fried dough rings on the plate.
Gu Jingmo made another cup of milk powder for Xia Jin. Gu Jingmo didn't think Xia Jin would like soy milk, so he prepared it early.
After Xia Jin tidied herself, she sat down at the table, looked at the soy milk in front of her, and took a sip with trepidation. The moment the drink entered her mouth, her mind went blank.
After swallowing it with resentment, she took the bowl of soy milk far away and drank a few more mouthfuls of milk powder. Then she looked at Gu Jingmo who was sitting beside her and said, "Why does it taste like this? It tastes like swill, sour."
Gu Jingmo looked at her like this and said with a smile: "What did you think it tasted like originally?"
Xia Jin took a bite of the bun and said, "It just tastes like ordinary soy milk. Who knew it tasted like this? But I see everyone here likes it."
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "People in different places have different tastes. After all, only things that suit their taste can thrive in that place. Things that don't suit their taste have long been eliminated."
Xia Jin said: "Okay, I won't try it again easily. It doesn't suit my taste at all."
After the two of them finished their meal and got dressed, they went out to buy gifts and local specialties for Xia Jin's friends and family. Xia Jin bought a set of clothes for each of her father and his family. This time, Xia Jin had their sizes, so she didn't worry about buying something that didn't fit.
She chose clothes for everyone in the family. The two cousins and the cousins from her aunt's family all chose popular styles. Xia Jin remembered that her cousin was about to get married, so she not only bought her clothes, but also bought her a watch as a wedding gift.
Aunt Xia Jin chose clothes of similar styles for them. The styles were not too novel and were convenient for work, so it would not be too strange to wear them in the village.
After Xia Jin finished choosing for her family, she went to buy something for Chen Xin. She bought a nice windbreaker and some small gadgets that girls like. They were so beautiful. Xia Jin also chose a few for herself.
They also bought some local specialties, including various local pastries and roast duck. In fact, if it weren't inconvenient to bring soy milk on the plane, Xia Jin would definitely bring it back for Chen Xin to try.
After all, how could such a good thing be enjoyed by oneself alone? Bring some for friends, because good friends are meant to be cheated. Xia Jin felt quite regretful that she couldn't bring this thing back with her. She could only plan in her mind that she must let Chen Xin taste it the next time she and Chen Xin came to Beijing.
After a round of shopping, Xia Jin finally bought everything on his list. It was already noon, and the two of them did not go home for lunch. They just found a restaurant to have lunch.
After the meal, Gu Jingmo and Xia Jin went to visit the Forbidden City. When Xia Jin and the others went to visit, snowflakes began to fall from the sky and the Forbidden City was covered with white snow. The snow covered the tiles, red walls and white tiles. Looking at the scenery in front of her, she thought this was the most beautiful color combination in the world.
The Forbidden City stands there quietly, majestic and showing them its heavy history.
After visiting the Forbidden City, they went to the jade shop to pick up the small bottle customized by Xia Jin. After getting the bottle, the two of them drove back home, packed up all their things, and packed up the newly bought items. After that, the two of them returned to Gu's house. They knew that Xia Jin and the others would be going back tomorrow, and the Gu family would have a dinner tonight to see them off.
When they arrived at Gu's house, everyone except the eldest brother was at home. Gu Zhaozhao saw Xia Jin and the others coming back, stepped forward and hugged Xia Jin's arm, saying reluctantly: "Aunt, I haven't played enough with you yet, and you are leaving. I don't want to let you go."
Gu Jingmo stepped forward and peeled off the hand that was hugging Xia Jin's arm and said, "Stay away from my wife. Speak nicely. You are such a grown-up and still act like a spoiled child."
