Chapter 416 Fang Lan'e Moves
There wasn't actually much for Fang Lan'e to move. The new house had already been decorated, so she just had to go over to Wenguo for dinner on Tuesday night.
The big gifts everyone had prepared for Fang Lan'e have all been delivered to her, so just bring some small gifts on Tuesday to liven things up.
On Tuesday afternoon, Lin Xiaoxia went to Fang Lan'e's new home early. She had to come early to help Fang Lan'e prepare dinner and greet Lu Jingshen. Lu Jingshen could come over by himself after work.
Lin Xiaoxia had the key to Fang Lan'e's house, and Fang Lan'e gave her a spare key, but Lin Xiaoxia still knocked on the door. She felt that she should respect other people's privacy and just keep the spare key at home as a backup. Friends should also be tactful.
Fang Lan'e came over and opened the door: "Come in and see how I've been cleaning these past two days."
Lin Xiaoxia came in and couldn't help but praise: "It's really heartwarming."
Fang Lan'e said, "I found that living alone is also quite good. I can do everything according to my own preferences."
Lin Xiaoxia also smiled and said, "Being alone brings peace, and being together brings happiness. Whatever suits you best is the one that suits you."
"You're right. Everyone is different. In fact, people may think differently at different stages, so we can't look at everyone the same way."
"Indeed, I'm going to start school soon. You can come with me to attend classes then. School will give you more different ideas."
"Well, I'll listen to you."
"Hurry up and prepare the food, it's going to be lively today."
"You have to show off your skills today."
As they talked, they went into the kitchen and continued preparing the meal.
Sun Qiang and Sanluzi arrived early and brought a lot of fruits, drinks, beer and other things.
After a while, Ju Huiyan also came, bringing a bag of sheets, quilt covers and other things.
Everyone cooked and chatted together, allowing Sanluzi, who had no home before, to feel the warmth of home.
Dong Mingliang also came today. We had agreed not to let him buy anything, but he still bought a set of tableware. It wasn’t expensive, but it was very thoughtful.
Lin Fangfang arrived before the end of get off work. She asked for leave and came out first because she was afraid of having to leave with Lu Jingshen after get off work. Lin Fangfang, who was afraid of her boss, really didn't dare to ride in the car with Lu Jingshen.
This matter really made Lin Xiaoxia laugh and cry, because her husband was obviously not that scary.
Sun Qiang couldn't stop laughing. He didn't understand. They were all family members, so why was Lin Fangfang afraid of Lu Jingshen?
After get off work, Lu Jingshen came over and bought two more bottles of red wine. He was determined to get drunk today.
It’s quick to cook together, and we start eating at around six o’clock.
Fang Lan'e picked up the wine glass first: "Thank you all for coming to warm the pot for me today."
Lin Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen and others also raised their glasses to congratulate Fang Lan'e on having her own family.
After drinking the glass and putting it down, Fang Lan'e suddenly burst into tears. She didn't know why, but it was as if her inner defenses were opened, and her thoughts poured out all at once. She just wanted to cry.
I didn't say anything, but I went over the events of the past few years, especially the scene of domestic violence, which was still vivid in my mind.
Lin Xiaoxia sat next to her and put her arm around her shoulders to give her strength.
Fang Lan'e hugged Lin Xiaoxia and cried breathlessly.
Perhaps everyone understands Fang Lan'e's feelings. She has suffered too much. In fact, her previous home did not feel like her home at all. Now she really has a home and a place to return to.
Looking at Fang Lan'e, Ju Huiyan and Lin Fangfang also shed tears, because they knew Fang Lan'e's pain.
Lu Jingshen and the other men also felt very uncomfortable. They had all suffered a lot and knew how fragile the human heart was.
It took Fang Lan'e a while to stop crying. She wiped her tears and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I wanted to make everyone happy."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Fang Lan'e and said, "Everyone knows you are happy, and we are happy for you. Tears of joy are precious. Xiao'e, things will get better and better. You have us, a home, and someone to rely on."
The three donkeys said, "Yes, aren't we all your relatives?"
Sun Qiang also said: "I don't think blood relations are that important to me. We who are not related by blood are closer than brothers and sisters."
Ju Huiyan said: "Xiao E, you have so many backers like us, so you don't have to be afraid of anything in the future."
Fang Lan'e nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I just feel happy. I really am very happy. I never thought that there would be such a day. Thank you so much."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? We all rely on each other. Who wouldn't help their friends if they encountered problems? We are all family. Let's not talk about our differences. Let's drink."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank another glass.
Then everyone took turns toasting Fang Lan'e.
Sun Qiang said that Fang Lan'e would have a day off tomorrow, so it was okay to drink a little today.
Because Lin Xiaoxia was driving and had to take them home after dinner, she didn't drink, but the rest of the people drank a lot.
However, Lu Jingshen had a high alcohol tolerance and his face was slightly red, but nothing happened. Dong Mingliang, who didn't drink often, drank directly under the table.
The drinking party didn't end until after eleven o'clock.
Lin Xiaoxia was glad that she didn't drink, and was thinking about how to send these people away. Should she send them in two batches?
I originally thought that since we were all drunk, it would be better for the men to sleep in one room and the women to sleep in another. But I was afraid that if we drank too much, someone would enter the wrong room in the middle of the night, which would not be good.
So in the end, the two girls, Lin Fangfang and Ju Huiyan, were allowed to sleep here, and the men, including Sun Qiang, were sent to the hotel.
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen didn't go home until twelve o'clock.
After taking a shower, the two lay down and fell asleep. They were really tired that day.
But everyone is also very happy today because they have witnessed Fang Lan'e's changes. This is not only the progress of one person, but also the progress of many women in this era.
On Saturday night, Sun Qiang called Lu Jingshen and said that his father Sun Shengqi wanted to invite them to his home for a simple meal. On the one hand, he wanted to thank Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen for taking care of Sun Qiang, and on the other hand, he wanted Wu Xiuyun to apologize to them in person. After all, Wu Xiuyun did a disgusting thing about the opening of the restaurant.
Lin Xiaoxia thought that school was about to start, so it was a good opportunity for her to go to the provincial capital to check on the two stores, and also to see how the store rented by her younger uncle for her fourth uncle was doing.
So the two of them agreed and said they would go there tomorrow morning.
Sun Qiang agreed on a place with them and said that when they arrived in the provincial capital tomorrow, Sun Qiang would pick them up in person.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen lay on the bed and chatted.
"I really want to go to Sun Qiang's house and help him suppress Wu Xiuyun." Lin Xiaoxia's fighting spirit is always so strong.
Lu Jingshen said, "That's fine. Their relationship is out in the open. There are some things Qiangzi can't say, but we can."
"Sun Jian is truly unpresentable. He looks like a small-time scoundrel who can't handle anything. I really doubt Sun Shengqi's judgment. Can he really not see what Sun Jian is made of?"
"He's someone else's son. After all, whether he's good or not is up to you, and besides, you have Wu Xiuyun whispering in his ear."
