The moment she saw Xia Jin's face, an elderly grandmother nudged the woman next to her and said, "How come she looks so much like the second daughter-in-law of the Xia family?"
"Yes, they look alike. They are just like each other."
"Oh, considering the time, Xia Minye's daughter has grown up so much. Could this be the little granddaughter that was taken away from the old Xia family?"
"Of course it is. This means they've made it big. They even have a car. Good days are coming for the Xia family."
One of the women said sarcastically, "If you ask me, I think the Xia family has a solution. Look, you all said he was stupid before, but I don't think he's stupid at all. Look at what his daughter brought with her in a car. Maybe all the money Xia Minye has remitted over the years wouldn't be enough to buy all these things."
"It's a big day for the Xia family, Daniu's wife. Let's not say such unpleasant things."
"Am I wrong?"
Xia Jin ignored the discussions of the people around him and slowly walked to the door and knocked on it. Then Xia Jin heard a strong voice coming from inside, "Who is it?"
Before Xia Jin could figure out what to say, the enthusiastic aunties around her had already answered for her.
"Minye, come out quickly. Your Xia Jin is back."
"Yeah, it's a great event, come out and see it."
"Minye, your daughter is back."
Xia Jin stood at the door and watched the villagers finish talking. Then, a figure opened the door in a panic and ran out, followed by a white-haired old man. Xia Jin thought this must be his grandfather.
The person in front is my father Xia Minye. After thinking about it, Xia Jin looked carefully at the person who was running towards him. After looking at the person, Xia Jin understood why Liu Xiu relied on Xia Minye.
Xia Minye has a good physique and a square face, which is very handsome. However, his face is a little rough due to long-term farm work. Even at the age of forty, he still maintains a good figure and is tall.
Before Xia Jin could finish her thought, her hand was held by a rough big hand. Xia Jin looked at the man in front of her who was already in tears and shouted unconsciously: "Dad."
This was the first time they met in their two lives. For Xia Minye, it might have been only a dozen years, but for Xia Jin, she hadn't seen him for more than sixty years.
When the man heard Xia Jin call him "Dad", he nodded repeatedly and said while crying: "Hey, hey, Dad is here, Dad is here, don't cry, our little Jin won't cry."
When Xia Jin heard what Xia Minye said, she realized that she had been crying without knowing when. Xia Minye carefully raised his hand to wipe Xia Jin's tears, but then he put his hand down again.
Xia Minye looked at his rough big hands, then looked at Xia Jinying's fair and delicate little face. He was afraid that he would hurt her, so he put his hands down again.
Xia Jin watched Xia Minye's movements and thought that people who love you are afraid of hurting you no matter what they do. Xia Jin took Xia Minye's hand and put it on her face. Xia Minye looked at Xia Jin's movements and said, "Xiao Jin, Daddy's hands are dirty and rough. They will hurt you."
Xia Jin looked at the cautious Xia Minye and said, "It's okay, Dad." Xia Jin thought it was okay. I was beaten and kicked at my stepfather's house before. I can endure any pain. I'm not as delicate as you think.
Grandpa Xia looked at the two people standing at the door, then looked at Xia Jin and said tremblingly, "Okay, okay, our Xiao Jin has grown into a big girl. Does Xiao Jin still recognize Grandpa?"
Xia Jin looked at Grandpa Xia, who looked a little old, standing with his father and said, "Grandpa, I'm back to see you."
"Okay, okay, let's go inside. It's cold here. And the return of our second son Xiaojin is a great joy for our family. Why are you crying?"
The villagers said:
"Yes, Xia Lao Er, this is a good thing for your family, don't cry."
"Look, your daughter has come all the way here. What is she thinking about outside? Hurry and take her in."
"It's so cold outside, come in quickly and catch up with each other."
Grandpa Xia looked at the villagers and said, "Everyone, hurry up and go back. It's cold outside. Once Xiaojin gets familiar with the place, we'll introduce her to everyone."
"Okay, Third Grandpa, for such a big matter, do you want me to call Uncle Minli?"
Grandpa Xia said, "Yanxue, please help Third Grandpa call your Uncle Limin."
"Okay, Third Grandpa."
Xia Minye pulled Xia Jin and was about to go inside. Xia Jin looked at Gu Jingmo behind him, waved to him and said, "Dad, I have a friend who came with me."
Father Xia then noticed Gu Jingmo and the others behind him. Gu Jingmo saw Xia Jin waving, walked forward, and politely greeted Father Xia: "Hello, uncle and grandpa, I am Xia Jin's friend, and I came here with her."
The whole action was done in one go, without any mistakes. In the eyes of people who didn't know Gu Jingmo, he was just a well-behaved and polite young man.
When Father Xia heard Gu Jingmo say this, he said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. You came all the way here with her."
Gu Jingmo said: "It's not hard, it's what I deserve."
At this time, Secretary Zhao and Xiao Wu finally unloaded all the things from the car. They went up to greet Father Xia and Grandpa Xia, then turned to ask Xia Jin, "Miss Xia, have you moved all these into the house?"
Xia Jin looked at his father and asked, "Dad, where do you put all these gifts I bought for you?"
Father Xia looked at the pile of things on the ground and said, "This is too much. We don't..."
Xia Jin interrupted Father Xia before he could finish his words. Seeing that Father Xia wanted to refuse, Xia Jin said, "Dad, I've already bought it. Besides, this is a gift for everyone. It didn't cost much, so I can't return it."
When Father Xia heard that he couldn't withdraw, and was afraid that Xia Jin would be unhappy if he said anything more, he said, "Then let's all move in."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhao and Xiao Wu started moving things. Gu Jingmo also went to help. Father Xia saw that the three of them had carried some things, and there was still a pile on the ground. Father Xia said, "I'll move this pile. Xiao Jin, go in with your grandfather first. It's cold outside."
After saying that, he bent down and picked up the cardboard box on the ground. Xia Jin didn't refuse when he heard this. He walked forward, held Grandpa Xia's arm and walked into the house. Father Xia followed behind with the box in his arms.
When Xia Jin helped Grandpa Xia into the house, Gu Jingmo and the others had already put their things away. Secretary Zhao stood at the door and looked at Xia Jin as he came in and said, "Everything is done, let's go back first."
Xia Jin said, "Okay, come pick us up this afternoon. And you can eat whatever you want for lunch, I'll reimburse you."
Secretary Zhao said, "Okay, let's go."
When Secretary Zhao was leaving, he happened to see Father Xia opening the door and coming in. Father Xia looked at Secretary Zhao and the other two and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, we'll go back first and not disturb you anymore."
