It was as if he was being warned, so he had no choice but to give up. It must be said that he was really humble in the Shen family.
…
In the afternoon, Old Man Shen called Fubao to his side and looked at her lovingly, "Nannan, do you want to go to the village chief's house with grandpa? I saw him when I went to the field to collect sugarcane a few days ago, and he asked me when he would take you there for dinner."
Fubao choked. She knew that on the one hand, the old village chief wanted to invite her, his savior, to dinner, but on the other hand, Shen Jianian wanted to see her.
But she didn't want to see him.
It’s better not to give him hope for something that has no result.
Fubao shook his head, "Grandpa, I don't want to go."
Old Man Shen was a discerning man. He knew at a glance that Fu Bao was avoiding Shen Jianian, so he didn't force her and rubbed her hair. "Okay, then I won't go. Grandpa can go by himself."
"Okay~ Grandpa, come back early." Fubao took Old Man Shen's arm and shook it. This soft and coquettish behavior made Old Man Shen's heart as sweet as honey.
Old Man Shen went to the village chief's house with some supplements and local specialties from Guangcheng. When Shen Jianian opened the door and saw Old Man Shen, his eyes suddenly lit up and he subconsciously looked behind him. However, he didn't see Fubao coming with him, and he felt lost in an instant.
"Grandpa Shen, didn't Fubao come with you?"
Seeing his disappointed face, Old Man Shen suddenly felt a little regretful. To be honest, he liked this child very much. He was gentle and kind, with a very good temper. Moreover, he had liked Fubao for so many years and had never changed his mind.
It’s a pity that Fubao doesn’t have that feeling towards him, alas!
"She is doing her summer homework at home. Our family went to Guangcheng a few days ago, and she hasn't done a single word of her homework, so she has to catch up now."
"Oh... okay." Shen Jianian narrowed his eyes, thinking of the boy named Huo Jinxi who had returned to the Shen family and was now living with Fubao. He felt very uncomfortable, particularly depressed and sour.
He really wanted to ask Old Man Shen if Fubao was with Huo Jinxi, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so he could only say to Old Man Shen: "Then... Grandpa Shen, if Fubao has any questions that she can't answer, I can go and teach her."
Old Man Shen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Fubao."
Old Man Shen told the village chief about opening a convenience store, and the village chief thought it was a great idea!
No one in the village does this. To buy anything, you have to go to the town or county. It is so inconvenient and it costs a lot of money for transportation and gas. If there was a small store in the village, it would greatly facilitate the villagers.
So without saying anything, he immediately agreed to sell the two houses at the entrance of the village to the Shen family, but at a very low price. If it weren't for Old Man Shen's evasion, he would have wanted to give them away directly, so why would he need to pay?
He did not forget that his life was saved by the daughter of the Shen family.
Before Old Man Shen left, Shen Jianian saw him out and took out something for him, saying shyly, "Grandpa Shen, this is a gift for Fubao. Can you help me give it to her?"
When Old Man Shen saw it, it was a square gift box wrapped in pink wrapping paper. The girl must have liked it when she saw it, so she took it and said, "Okay, Grandpa Shen will definitely bring it to Fubao."
…
After leaving the village chief's house, Old Man Shen walked around the village. Relying on his good popularity, he easily secured strong laborers to build the house.
