Chapter 69 Going to the City
As they were talking, Lu Jingyuan came back from school. He entered the house and greeted Lu Jingshen directly at the door. They had a very good relationship as brothers.
Lu Jingshen also asked Lu Jingyuan some questions about his studies and soon had dinner.
After dinner, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen walked around to digest their food and chat.
As they walked, Lu Jingshen talked to Ai Xiaoxia about the family building, saying that they could move there next week.
Because it is a family building, we consulted the employees and made basic living furniture such as wardrobes, beds, dining tables and chairs. This way, families with low requirements can move in directly.
After Lu Jingshen finished saying this, he asked Ai Xiaoxia if she wanted to buy some other furniture in advance.
Ai Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Let's not try to be special. Let's first see what other families have bought and then just go with the crowd. After all, these families didn't know each other before, and suddenly getting together could easily lead to conflicts."
Lu Jingshen listened to Ai Xiaoxia's words and realized that she was just as he thought, both of them were low-key people, so he said, "That's fine. We already have a bed and a wardrobe, so we can just buy some pots and pans, and we can add the rest as needed."
"By the way, Jingyuan and I are still not done with our English review. I want to do a few more exercises with him. I'll go a week later."
"That's fine. Otherwise, we'll be moving these past few days, and it'll be very noisy. Anyway, I still have a few days of vacation left. When I have a few days off, we can clean up."
"Well, that's settled then."
"Jingyuan told me that his English has improved rapidly and he did well in recent mock exams. I didn't expect you to be quite suitable to be a teacher."
“Maybe my learning method is suitable for Jingyuan, and I have made a lot of progress by studying with him.”
"You really are my lucky star. I heard from Qiangzi that all the formalities at the design institute have been completed. I didn't know these things happened during this period. Next time you have something to deal with, don't carry it on your own. Tell me and we can solve it together."
"It's not a big deal. If I couldn't do it myself, I would have asked you for help. Don't worry, if I need your help, I won't hesitate to help you."
"That's right."
The two of them took a walk and then went home.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Zhang Caifeng coming from the opposite side, but this time was different from before. When Zhang Caifeng saw Ai Xiaoxia, she turned around and ran away.
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia: "Did you hit her again? Why is she so perceptive?"
Ai Xiaoxia frowned and looked at Lu Jingshen: "In your eyes, am I so violent?"
Lu Jingshen quickly shook his head: "No, I just feel that she is so afraid of you, she is different from before."
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't hold it back and laughed to herself: "Indeed, I beat her again. She and Zhang Tingting conspired with my parents to instigate me and Jiang Qingru to have an affair. Do you think I should not beat her and keep her for the New Year?"
Lu Jingshen nodded: "She really deserves to be beaten. How could this woman be so vicious? Although I don't beat women, it doesn't mean I won't beat bad people."
"Don't get excited. I can handle a small fry like her myself. I not only beat her, but also threatened her. Didn't her family arrange a blind date for her? I told her whoever she chose, I would ruin his marriage and make him unmarried for the rest of his life."
Lu Jingshen laughed: "Only you can come up with something like this to scare her."
Ai Xiaoxia also laughed: "How do you know that I'm scaring her and it can't be true?"
"You wouldn't waste so much time on this, but your threat is very effective. People like her are used to doing bad things, so they think everyone else is the same as her. I guess she's scared to death."
"You're really smart, but I told her that the better the partner she finds, the less I like him. Let her decide for herself."
Lu Jingshen laughed out loud when he heard this: "Your skills are really advanced. I admire you."
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing: "I didn't realize I had these abilities before, I was forced to do them."
Lu Jingshen put away his smile, sighed, and turned to look at Ai Xiaoxia beside him: "Xiaoxia, I'm sorry for making you and me suffer."
Ai Xiaoxia looked up at Lu Jingshen: "Why are you suddenly being sentimental? Aren't we helping each other?"
"I just feel a little emotional."
"Why are you still being sentimental? We're home now, come inside quickly, it's getting cold tonight."
As they talked, they went into the house, took off their coats and started washing up.
I had a good sleep tonight.
On Sunday, Ai Xiaoxia asked Lu Jingshen to take some of the things she had made for the new home back to the city. Since the keys had been distributed anyway, he could just take the things over first and then decorate the house together after Ai Xiaoxia got there.
Lu Jingyuan knew that Ai Xiaoxia went to the city a week later in order to help him review more English. He didn't know how to thank her and said that he would study hard.
The next day, Ai Xiaoxia and Li Shaofen agreed that Lu Lin would come to help make snacks every other day and would be paid 100 yuan a month. Since she would come every other day and only work for half a day each time, 100 yuan was not a small amount.
Lu Lin said it was too much and wanted eighty, to make it an even number with Su Changzhu, so two hundred a month would be a good deal for the two of them.
However, Ai Xiaoxia still insisted on paying her one hundred yuan a month. Although it was only half a day, it was also a job of kidnapping people, and the child had to be taken care of by the elderly, so one hundred yuan was appropriate.
Lu Lin couldn't resist, but she said that she would do more housework in the future so that Ai Xiaoxia could go to the city without worry.
In the past two days, Ai Xiaoxia learned a few knitting patterns from Li Shaofen. The original owner could also knit clothes, but she didn't know many patterns. This kind of light work was basically done by Meng Qiuju and Guan Mingyue, while Ai Xiaoxia mostly did the rough work such as cooking and feeding pigs.
But now Ai Xiaoxia has a lot of free time, so she can knit a piece of her favorite style by herself.
In the evening, when Lu Jingyuan got home from school, Ai Xiaoxia started teaching him English, saying that they were studying together. But in fact, in the end, it was Ai Xiaoxia who tutored Lu Jingyuan.
As the weekend was approaching and Lu Jingshen was coming back, they started preparing to move.
However, before moving, Ai Xiaoxia decided to go back to Dawa Village with Lu Jingshen. Moving was a big deal, and she couldn't just treat her parents as if they had no one. After all, they were the original owner's biological parents, and she couldn't break off the relationship on their behalf. Of course, she also wanted to go back and find out about Fang Lan'e's in-laws' family and see what was going on there.
The weather was a bit cloudy the next day. With Lu Jingshen accompanying her back to her parents' home, Ai Xiaoxia was not worried at all and felt more relaxed than when she went back alone.
When they arrived at Dawa Village, before they even reached Ai's house, they heard several women on the street discussing Fang Lan'e's matter.
She came over and greeted everyone.
Several women saw the changes in Ai Xiaoxia and quickly surrounded her to praise her. They were all gossipy people in the village, so after praising her, they also did not forget to ask about Ai Xiaoxia's married life.
Of course, with Lu Jingshen here, they were more restrained and just asked when the baby would be born. Ai Xiaoxia also gave perfunctory answers.
Seeing that the time was almost right, she quickly interrupted and asked, "Aunts, I just heard you talking about Fang Lan'e. Fang Lan'e and I are friends. I want to know what happened to her?"
