Chapter 064: Godmother
With three people helping us move, it went pretty fast.
Granny Liu and her family have already moved out, taking with them only their personal belongings, a bed and a wardrobe they bought two years ago; all the old furniture was left behind.
They moved into a new building, and because their grandson was going to bring his girlfriend home, they replaced all the furniture in the house with new ones.
Bai Zhenzhu helped Xia He clean the house again.
"Sister Xia He, you can start cooking now with just a set of pots and pans. You don't need anything. That's great."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jun came in from outside.
He was holding two basins in his hands, with two pots in the basins, and in the pots were bowls, plates, chopsticks, kitchen knives, shovels and so on.
"Sister, this is what I bought for you at the market. Take a look at the patterns of these bowls and see if you like them. If not, I can change them for you."
Xia He had a strange expression on her face, she looked angry but her eyes were red.
"Why did you buy these for me? How are you going to explain to her that you spent so much money?"
Xia Jun smiled awkwardly:
"I don't have much money. I'm useless and can't do anything for you."
He lowered his head and put the things into the kitchen.
After coming out, he was somewhat at a loss and said:
"Luckily it's not far away. If you have any problems, just go home and call me."
Xia He turned her face to the side, her voice choked:
“Is that still my home?”
Xia Jun was anxious:
"Why not? As long as Mom and I are here, it will always be your home."
"It's all my fault. Don't worry, when I make a lot of money I'll move to a bigger house and reserve a room just for you."
"Sister, don't blame your sister-in-law."
Xia He's chest heaved violently, but she tried hard not to cry.
Seeing that Xia He didn't look at him, Xia Jun walked away awkwardly and lonely.
Bai Zhenzhu closed the door and went to get a towel for Xia He.
Xia He took the towel and wiped her face roughly, saying stubbornly:
"I'm fine."
"I didn't cry. I just got some work residue in my eyes. I'm fine now."
Bai Zhenzhu felt uncomfortable and wanted to laugh.
There was an old wardrobe left at Grandma Liu's house, and Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He moved the wardrobe to Chaoyang's master bedroom.
Xia He had already calmed down and urged:
"You go back to look after the store first. When you close the store, call your elder brother and the second brother to come over and sit with you. Come to my place for dinner in the evening. I'll treat you."
Bai Zhenzhu said quickly:
"Don't do too much. My elder brother and second brother probably won't come. I'll bring Shuo Shuo with me."
After all, Xia He is Bai Zhenzhu's friend, so Bai Chengxiang and Xu Yin feel embarrassed to join in the fun.
Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang would definitely not come as they had to open the store for business at night.
Xia He didn't force it:
"Then you can call Sister Yueshu."
Bai Zhenzhu didn't refuse, and Li Yueshu was more familiar with Xia He.
After returning to the market, Bai Zhenzhu first went to buy cloth to make four sets of curtains.
When the time was almost up, she closed the door, took Li Yueshu and Shuo Shuo to get the curtains, and then went to Xia He Store.
Wen Fengqin was also about to close the door, but when she saw Bai Zhenzhu coming, she locked the door and went to Xia He's place with Bai Zhenzhu.
Xia He had already prepared dinner, and Bai Zhenzhu and others smelled the familiar fragrance as soon as they entered the door.
There was a basin in the middle of the square table in the small restaurant, and in the basin was the delicious Xinjiang big plate chicken.
"Hahaha, are you surprised or happy?"
Xia He was very proud:
"I didn't want to cook, and I couldn't cook well, so I went straight to Sister Liu Fang's place and brought back a pot. My eldest brother is a real man, he made me a big pot, and also filled a bag with steamed buns. I left forty dollars and ran away."
Then he took out a few bottles of soda.
It was said to be a greenhouse, but ended up calling out White Pearl.
Bai Zhenzhu gave the curtains to Xia He:
"I saw that your curtains were old, so I asked someone to make a few sets. I don't know if you like the pattern or not."
Xia He's face was full of surprise:
"I was just thinking about changing the curtains. Oh, Pearl, you are really a worm in my stomach."
The curtains Bai Zhenzhu chose were the kind with gray linen checkered patterns, and Xia He liked them at first sight:
"I like this style."
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "The cloth seller said it's a new pattern. I think it's pretty good and I thought you might like it."
"I like it, I'll hang it up after dinner." Xia He put away the curtains and greeted everyone: "Please sit down, don't be polite, eat quickly, I'll open some soda for you."
Shuo Shuo has long been craving for soda:
"Miss Xia, this orange-flavored soda is delicious."
Xia He gave the first bottle she opened to Shuo Shuo:
"Our Shuo Shuo will be the first to drink."
Shuo Shuo said sensibly:
"Give it to Granny Wen first."
Wen Fengqin gave the soda to Shuo Shuo. The little guy thanked her and then took a sip of the soda.
Bai Zhenzhu touched his head and reminded:
"Let's eat something first and then drink, otherwise our stomachs will feel uncomfortable."
"I know, mom."
The little guy held the bowl and started eating. In the bowl was the chicken that Wen Fengqin had just picked up for him.
Xia He was jealous:
"Your Shuo Shuo is so sensible. I'm so envious of him. How about I take him as my godson?"
Bai Zhenzhu was stunned:
"That's not good. You're not married yet."
Xia He didn't care:
"Why can't I be your godmother if you're not married? I'm one year older than you."
Bai Zhenzhu was reluctant to agree to this, and then she heard Wen Fengqin scolding with a smile:
"You girl, you are not in a hurry to get married, but you want to pick up someone else's son for free."
It doesn't look like opposition.
Xia He is a person of action, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels happy about it.
"Last time, I heard from Mrs. Xu that a fortune teller said that Shuo Shuo lacked gold in the five elements, and that he needed to find a godmother who was born under the gold element. What a coincidence, isn't it? I am born under the gold element."
Wen Fengqin nodded: "Xia He is indeed a person of gold destiny."
She also realized that Bai Zhenzhu was a good person, but she couldn't do much, and the key was that she got along well with Xia He.
Since her daughter is willing to make friends, she, as a mother, naturally supports her.
Who didn’t have a few good sisters when they were young?
Then he said to White Pearl:
"Zhenzhu, I also think that you two get along well with Xia He. If you don't mind, why don't you let Shuo Shuo recognize Xia He as his godmother?"
Since Wen Fengqin and Xia He were willing, Bai Zhenzhu naturally had nothing to say.
She poured soda for Shuo Shuo with a cup:
"Shuo Shuo, come, give a toast to your godmother."
Shuo Shuo also obeyed, holding the cup in his little hands:
"Godmother, drink soda."
Xia He said "Hey" cheerfully, took the soda and drank it:
"My dear son, just wait. I don't call you godmother for nothing."
After saying that, he rushed back to the bedroom, came out and stuffed two hundred-dollar bills into Shuo Shuo's hands.
White Pearl was startled:
"Why give so much? Just a token of your appreciation will do."
Xia He said: "This is for my godson. I don't have anything prepared, but this is the most economical way to give it to me."
Shuo Shuo held the hundred-dollar bill in his hand and said, "Thank you, godmother."
The little guy himself didn't expect that he just came to have a meal obediently and ended up finding a rich godmother.
The key point is that this godmother became one of the super rich women in Yuan City in the future.
