Chapter 290: Men's Little Intentions
According to the customs in Yunnan Province, Chen Jintao should also go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but her parents' home is right next door.
The two families had already discussed it, to have dinner at the Huo's on the first day of the New Year and at the Shen's on the second day.
Xu Hongxing must be with them as well. She will be going back after the New Year and will basically be staying with Xu Xuemei. This aunt is very kind to them and Xu Hongxing likes her sincerely.
No one has anything to do during the Chinese New Year. Since there is nothing to do, of course the choice is to go out and have fun.
Xiaohua has become good friends with Dabao and Erbao, and with Shen Jidong and Huo Dongsheng watching, Xu Hongxing has been very relaxed recently.
After lunch, I wanted to take Chen Jintao out shopping, and Chen Jintao agreed directly.
There are only two girls here. If they want to go out and have some fun, that's no problem.
Xu Xuemei stuffed some money into the pockets of Xu Hongxing and Shen Jintao, knowing full well that the children didn't need that little money at all, but as an elder she couldn't help but give it to them. Xu Hongxing didn't want it and felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Jintao stuffed the money given by her mother directly into her cousin's arms.
"Just keep it. Children can get lucky money, so why can't we?"
Only then did Xu Hongxing accept it and thanked Xu Xuemei with a smile.
"Okay, if you want to go out and play, go ahead and buy whatever you want. Hongxing will be going back soon anyway, so bring some extra things for your family."
"OK!"
The two left home and headed straight for the nearest market.
Such markets are actually quite common after the reform and opening up, but they are not so lively at other times, so young people generally choose to go to shopping malls when shopping.
But it’s different during the Chinese New Year. There are people selling all kinds of things at the markets, and there are also many selling snacks. It’s perfect for young people to visit.
Xu Hongxing was holding a string of candied haws in his hand, with the smile on his face never fading.
"To be honest, I haven't been out playing by myself like this for a long time. In the past, I was either with my mother-in-law and my husband, or with Xiaohua. Although I am still very happy after having Xiaohua, I haven't experienced the joy of playing by myself for a long time."
Chen Jintao understood very well that Xu Hongxing was indeed not very happy in the past. No matter who it was, it was probably difficult for her to accept such a life. You have to know that Xu Hongxing was very favored at home. Suddenly he had to live like that and had to accept it. It was a bit painful to think about it.
"There will be many more opportunities like this in the future. Now that you're divorced and have money, you can have fun however you want. You'll have more time after Xiaohua goes to elementary school. Besides, I think Xiaohua is a very sensible child. When she grows up, you can ask your uncle and aunt to help take care of her. I heard that you handled the milk tea shop business very well. If nothing unexpected happens, your eldest cousin will definitely not take over your uncle and aunt's business. You'll have a lot to do in the future."
"It's good to be a little busy. I feel my life is particularly fulfilling now. I don't know how I managed to survive in the past. It's better to earn your own money and spend it yourself."
Xu Hongxing can now get a salary for helping with household chores, and it is not low.
"Comrade, meeting you again, what a coincidence!"
A man's surprised voice came.
Xu Hongxing and Shen Jintao both looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face.
After thinking about it, Xu Hongxing immediately reacted. Isn't this the comrade who helped him catch the thief on the train?
"Comrade, you also live in this area? What a coincidence!"
Xu Hongxing's performance was quite enthusiastic, after all, the other person had helped him before.
"Hey! I just came back to visit my family, and I will have to go back to work soon."
The man was obviously disappointed. "I remember you were from Yunnan Province as well. Are you here to visit relatives or something? Or if you guys are going back to Yunnan Province after the New Year, we can travel together. I remember it was just you and the little girl last time. You and your daughter weren't that safe on the train."
This proposal was actually a bit abrupt, and Chen Jintao couldn't help but look at the man. The way he looked at Xu Hongxing was not innocent at all, but according to what her cousin had said before, it was really this man who helped her, and there was no other communication. Could it be that this man fell in love with her at first sight?
"Ah? We are here to visit relatives, but I won't be back for a few days, so I guess the timing is not right!"
Although Xu Hongxing had no aversion to this person and even had a good impression of him, he was indeed embarrassed to directly agree to such a thing.
"Isn't this a coincidence? I have to go back to work in a few days. Don't think too much. I don't have any other intentions. I just thought that if you and the child were on the train and ran into the same thing as last time, it might be difficult to handle. It would be safer if I were with you. I promise I have no other intentions."
The gay man was obviously worried that Xu Hongxing would think he was a bad guy, so he hurried to explain.
"I don't think so. I might go back around the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Your company must have already started working, so I will..."
Before Xu Hongxing could finish the words "No need to bother", the man immediately interrupted her and said, "What a coincidence! My company has extended my vacation this time, and I plan to go back on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Xu Hongxing was a little dumbfounded. How could such a coincidence really happen?
"All right!"
After the two exchanged names and agreed to meet at the train station on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the man left.
Chen Jintao kept looking at Xu Hongxing, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"No, cousin, you really don't think there's anything strange?"
Chen Jintao felt that her cousin shouldn't be that naive. From the man's attentive attitude, she could tell that he had some ulterior motives!
Xu Hongxing heard the teasing in Shen Jintao's tone and blushed a little, "I don't think there's anything wrong. Maybe this comrade is kind-hearted."
"Do you believe what you said? But I think this gay is really good. In fact, I still support you to communicate more with outstanding gays, so that you can find a confidant as soon as possible. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater!" Chen Jintao blinked and said this deliberately to see how Xu Hongxing would react.
"What nonsense! I don't have such thoughts now. I just want to bring up Xiaohua well."
The expression on Xu Hongxing's face froze for a moment, and he immediately spoke.
