Xia Jin must be very familiar with handling these things, and Gu Jingmo is also helping her.
The two of them quickly prepared a table full of food, and after getting in the car, everyone brought their stools over to eat.
While eating, Father Xia asked, "Xiao Jin, have your grades come out yet? Also, you said you wanted to hold a graduation banquet. How should we go about this?"
"Not yet, but it should be almost there the day after tomorrow. Then, Grandpa, you guys come with me to school and we'll check the results together."
"You don't need to help with the graduation banquet. A Jing has already prepared it. You just need to accompany my classmates and teachers to eat when they come."
Grandpa Xia nodded and said, "We haven't done this before. Whatever you say, we'll do it. Everything is up to you."
"If we do something wrong, please remind us in time so as not to embarrass you in front of your teacher and classmates."
When Xia Jin heard his grandfather say this, he smiled and said:
"What's there to be ashamed of? No matter what you do, you won't embarrass me."
"That's not necessarily true. We're all from the countryside. You never know what might happen and embarrass you in front of your classmates."
"I heard from some uncles in the village that their children go to school in town, and sometimes when they go to deliver things, they are not allowed."
"He said that your uncles spoke with accents and wore shabby clothes, which embarrassed them in front of his classmates."
Xia Jin looked at the worried people in front of him and said, "Let them be them, I am me. Even if you dress up as beggars, you won't embarrass me."
"No matter what you look like, you are my elders. How could you embarrass me? The way they act only shows that they are not strong enough inside."
"Besides, I'm capable now, and no one will say anything behind my back."
When Grandpa Xia heard his granddaughter's words, he said happily:
"How can our Xiaojin be like those people? Look at the boys in our village who go to school. How many of them can achieve the same academic results as our Xiaojin?"
"If she really thought we were embarrassing, she wouldn't have called us here. But everyone should be careful about their words and actions at the banquet and not say anything that would make people laugh."
Father Xia and Uncle Xia said in unison: "I understand, Dad. We will do our best and not embarrass Xiao Jin."
After instructing his two sons, Grandpa Xia turned around and said to Xia Jin:
"When we came here yesterday, the villagers said that when you return, they will also hold a graduation banquet for you."
"I thought about it again and again, and I agreed to it for you without asking for your consent. I thought that we are all from the same village..."
After hearing his words, Xia Jin nodded and said, "Grandpa, you're the one who makes the decision. We'll do whatever you say."
"I'll pay for everything then, and the village won't have to contribute. Since this is my graduation banquet, I'll do it. Just treat it to a meal for the villagers."
"Okay, okay, my granddaughter is the one who understands."
If her grandfather hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have remembered it, but after he said it, she instantly understood what he wanted to express.
Since we have such a good opportunity now, let’s do it. Let’s treat everyone to a meal and get closer to everyone.
Let everyone know that although I am rich, I am not a condescending person. I like to get along with them and do not look down on them.
Otherwise, even though she is very capable, it is precisely because of her ability that everyone should respect her.
But his father and his people will be living together with the people in the village for many years. If it continues like this, the relationship between them will definitely not be good.
The village is also a small society. Neighbors help each other. If they always respect their families, they will not be allowed to help with anything.
It was fine at the beginning, but over time, their family was gradually excluded from the circle.
In the past few years, I have been able to use my power to put pressure on them. Seeing how capable I am, they will also give them some face.
But after a long time, those who went out had real skills, or their children were admitted to university, then they no longer needed to find jobs on their own.
The disadvantages of this matter would then become apparent. Although his grandfather and his father did not necessarily have to live in the village, their ancestral graves were there after all.
The older generation believes in returning to one's roots. If I make them feel uneasy in the village because of me, then I would be really guilty.
So when Grandpa Xia mentioned these things, she agreed. It would be nice for everyone to have some fun together, and she didn't lack the money.
"When we came here, we thought you wouldn't agree. Dad made the decision for you without my permission, and I thought you would be angry."
"Dad, there's nothing to be angry about. You are my elders. If there is anything happening in the village, just help me decide."
"I'm too far away from you. As long as it's something good for you in the village, you don't need to ask for my opinion."
"After all, there's a saying that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If you don't want to follow me to the capital, I'll make sure you live a happy and relaxed life in the village."
When Mr. Xia heard what I said to you, he felt very emotional. He also knew that his daughter had done so many things for them.
"Dad, I understand. As long as it doesn't harm your interests or anything, I'll nod and agree on your behalf."
"Okay, everyone, let's eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold. This seafood is really fresh, all freshly caught."
"Grandpa, come and try it. You can't get such fresh seafood where we are."
Grandpa Xia smiled like Maitreya Buddha, nodded, and said, "It's true that we can't eat it, but we are just taking advantage of you. Where else have we seen so many different kinds of seafood?"
"Before we came here, we only ate fish and shrimp from the river in our village. We couldn't get anything else. They were very expensive in the county."
After he said this, I picked up the chopsticks and picked up an abalone for him, then said:
"Then during your stay here, I promise to make sure you eat your fill. We're close to the sea, and the seafood here is so cheap it's practically free."
"Go out and ask people in our county, many people have eaten enough of this stuff, after all, sometimes it can be cheaper than meat."
Grandpa Xia said as he ate, "It's really good, really good."
