Chapter 111: Really Lucky for Husband
Ai Xiaoxia said modestly, "I know nothing about architecture. What I drew is just an idea. It's professionals like you who actually realize it."
"You're good at comforting me, but I'm really lucky to know you. You've broadened my horizons. I refined the diagram you gave me last time and gave it to our section chief, who eventually passed it on to the director. If I get a promotion this year, it'll all be thanks to you."
"Those are just amateur stuff. If you don't have the ability, you won't be recognized by the leader."
Seeing that Ai Xiaoxia was painting seriously, Mu Chen stopped talking and watched her paint with peace of mind.
Ai Xiaoxia's paintings are relatively simple, but the meaning is clear.
After finishing the drawing, he pushed the drawing paper in front of Mu Chen: "See if there are any new ideas?"
Mu Chen was indeed working on a stadium project recently. After seeing it, his eyes lit up: "Xiao Xia, you are really amazing. You have broken all my previous boundaries in one go. It's so novel."
"I just drew it randomly. You can see it, the proportions, the materials, etc. I don't know if it can be realized. I just drew what I thought looked good. It's my honor to be able to help you."
"Your parents are so lucky to have a child as talented as you. You must have been the so-called "other people's child" since you were young, right? I wonder how many people envy your parents."
Ai Xiaoxia sighed deeply upon hearing this: "My family matters... never mind, I won't talk about them. It'll ruin my mood."
Muchen could see that Ai Xiaoxia had a lot on her mind. Perhaps her upbringing was not what he had thought before. Perhaps he should get to know her better.
He said to Ai Xiaoxia, "It's getting late. Can I treat you to dinner?"
Ai Xiaoxia said, "No need. My restaurant is busiest during meal times. It's only been open for a few days, so I have to go back and keep an eye on it."
Muchen said apologetically, "Did I delay your business today?"
Ai Xiaoxia said: "No, I have a partner, and this place is close, so I can see anything that happens."
Mu Chen looked at Ai Xiaoxia: "Can I come to see you often in the future?"
Ai Xiaoxia thought he was asking about the design plan, so she said, "If you need anything, come over anytime. By the way, call the store before you come. I may not be here all the time."
Mu Chen happily agreed: "Then I will inevitably bother you from now on."
Ai Xiaoxia said, "You're welcome. I'll go back to the store first."
Mu Chen agreed and said, "Let's go together. I have to go back to the courtyard too." Then he called the waiter, paid the bill, and went out with Ai Xiaoxia.
When they reached the door, they said goodbye and Ai Xiaoxia returned to the store.
Lu Jingshen came directly here after get off work. Sun Qiang didn't let them stay here too late today, saying that the situation was basically stable now and there was no need to waste time here.
Ai Xiaoxia took the things she bought today and went home with Lu Jingshen.
When they got home, Lu Jingshen took out a large paper bag from the cabinet and handed it to Ai Xiaoxia. "This three thousand yuan is the first dividend from the jade mine. Yun Chao gave it to me today. There might be some before the New Year, but I'm not sure. We might also buy new equipment. He said that if it stabilizes next year, our dividends every quarter will be over ten thousand."
Ai Xiaoxia was very happy to receive the money. "Lu Jingshen, you are so far-sighted. This investment is really worth it." Then she added, "Let's buy a color TV for our family this New Year so we can watch the Spring Festival Gala together."
Lu Jingshen nodded: "Okay, wait until the end of the year. If you buy it now, Jingyuan will not study hard."
Ai Xiaoxia also thought so: "Indeed, then I'll buy it at the end of the year."
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and said, "Xiaoxia, you really are a lucky charm for your husband. You said that before you married me, my books were sitting on the shelf, the hotel wasn't making any money, and I thought the money from the jade mine was all gone. But now, even I feel like it's unreal that I'm collecting the money."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded while counting the money: "Don't say it, I think so too, so you have to be nice to me in the future, so that I can make you prosperous."
Lu Jingshen smiled and said, "You are my wife, and I don't need any conditions to treat you well."
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled very sweetly, and then counted the money again.
Money is really a good thing, no matter what era it is. A few days ago, Ai Xiaoxia was still thinking that she had no income from investment and didn’t have much money left, so now she has money to waste again.
Lu Jingshen also laughed when he saw Ai Xiaoxia's money-loving look. This girl is not short of money, but she likes to make money.
The weekend soon arrived. In order to save time, I didn't bother to be polite with Sun Qiang and decided to drive back. I would go back on Sunday morning. It was convenient if I had a car. Whether I stayed at home or not depended on the situation and the time was flexible.
And this time the two of them also discussed that they would have to tell their family about the business when they got back. The business was getting bigger and bigger, and it would be a big problem if they didn't tell their family. If the two elders were willing to come to the city to have a look, they had a car and could take them there to have a look.
On the way back home, Lu Jingshen didn't drive fast. The ground in the north was covered with ice and snow in winter and was quite slippery.
Of course, he knew that Ai Xiaoxia liked to look at the scenery, so he let her look for a while longer.
The scenery in the north in winter is really beautiful. The fields on both sides of the road are like covered with white quilts, and the mountains not far away are also covered with silver. Occasionally, small animals shuttle through the woods, startling the birds to fly up and shaking off the snow on the branches. It is very beautiful under the sun.
When we passed by the river, the river was completely frozen. Near the village, there were many children skating and playing with spinning tops on the ice, they were very happy.
Occasionally, someone would drive a horse-drawn carriage on the road, the sound of the whip was very loud and crisp, and the bells hanging on the carriage also made pleasant sounds from time to time.
Lu Jingshen likes to see every side of Ai Xiaoxia. When she is lively and active, she is like a little rabbit, and when she is quiet, she is like a kitten.
When they got home, they carried their things into the yard.
Lu Jingyuan always had the fastest legs. He ran out as soon as he heard the sound and started shouting before he even stopped: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are back."
Lu Jingshen asked, "Help your sister-in-law get something. Are your parents home?"
Lu Jingyuan helped Ai Xiaoxia with the things in her hands and said, "Everyone is at home. Mom and Dad thought about you coming back today, so they didn't go out."
Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu heard the sound and came to the door.
Ai Xiaoxia called them mom and dad, and the family came into the house lively.
After entering the house, Li Shaofen pulled Ai Xiaoxia to sit on the kang. The winter in the north is indeed cold, especially in rural houses, where people rely on burning fires for heating. Their house was installed with a fire wall last summer, so it is still relatively warm and clean. In the past, they burned a stove in the house, which produced a lot of ash.
Of course, some families with poor conditions rely on burning kangs and braziers to maintain the temperature in the house, and basically rely on the residual heat in the quilt to maintain the temperature in the second half of the night.
However, even with a fire wall, the water tank in the kitchen is often frozen with thick ice in the morning. If the soy sauce bottle is placed on the windowsill, it will most likely not be spared.
