Chapter 183 Don’t Leave…
Xia Jinhua walked up to the man and said softly, "Your girlfriend has a good figure, and many clothes here are suitable for her. Maybe you didn't choose well last time, so I will help you choose carefully this time."
The man smiled innocently, "Thank you for your help."
Bai Lianxin saw Xia Jinhua busying around and diligently introducing clothes to her, and she felt a sense of superiority of being served.
After all, you are just a small trader. When you see a distinguished customer like me, you have to bow and scrape, sell your clothes to me with a dry mouth, and beg me to buy your clothes.
In half an hour, I bought more than a dozen pieces of clothes and pants, as well as small items such as socks and scarves.
The man paid happily, his hands full.
When leaving the clothing store, Bai Lianxin held her head high, looking like a noble lady.
After Wang Cuicui finished her meal and closed her lunch box, she muttered unhappily, "What are you so proud of? What's the point of relying on a man?"
"You don't have to be angry." Xia Jinhua shook the wad of money in her hand, "Our turnover right now is higher than the entire day's turnover yesterday. Be happy that you've made some money."
Wang Cuicui said softly, "Our clothes are beautiful and can be easily sold. It would be a waste if they were worn by such wicked people."
Xia Jinhua smiled, walked over and touched Wang Cuicui's hair, "When you open a business, you will meet all kinds of people. Don't get angry with yourself. It's not worth it."
"Boss, why are you comforting me? You are so kind." Wang Cuicui's voice choked with sobs. "You and the sisters are all good people, the best people in the world. I am so lucky. If I hadn't met you, I don't know what would happen to me now..."
"Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, and your good luck is earned by yourself." Xia Jinhua said with emotion: "I used to be very unlucky, but now my luck is getting better and better."
"Yeah." Wang Cuicui nodded, "Boss, you are right, evildoers will definitely be punished by evildoers!"

After finishing her final exams, Tang Xueli welcomed her first winter break since college.
Her schedule is very full.
She sets up a stall to sell braised food three days a week. It’s cold in the winter, but every time she sets up the stall, everything she brings will be sold out in less than an hour.
Every morning she went to Hua Minghe to learn acupuncture and massage. Mr. Hua didn't charge her and asked her to do odd jobs to pay for the tuition.
Tang Xueli was concentrating on learning skills, and Mr. Hua certainly would not hide anything and taught her with all his heart, but what the old man was really thinking about was to match her up with his grandson.
The old man doesn't do anything unpleasant. He won't force a match. He simply wants to create as many opportunities as possible for the two children to spend time together.
Although fate is a mysterious thing, it is not a good idea to have less experience with it. My grandson is a blockhead and has no intelligence at all. Even though they are in the same school, he won't fight for himself.
Tang Xueli was completely immersed in the vast ocean of traditional Chinese medicine and admired Master Hua with all her heart.
The several encounters with Hua Fang did not leave a deep impression in her memory.
Mr. Hua often asked Tang Xueli to have lunch before leaving, but she never stayed once.
She would go to the clothing store to help so that her mother and Wang Cuicui could have a peaceful meal.
There was nothing special to do in the afternoon, so I just stayed in the store, read some books, and reviewed some knowledge points.
Every now and then, I would go to the boxing gym to practice.
In this winter, the days are busy and regular.
Yan Jingshu never showed up once.
Tang Xueli would think of him occasionally, but she felt that this was fine.
In a blink of an eye, it is New Year’s Eve and the new year is about to arrive.
The house was particularly lively. Tang Shuangshuang was clamoring to set off firecrackers and had already bought a bunch of them and placed them on the balcony.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening, she arranged for the whole family to go out and play at around nine o’clock.
Tang Xueli was not very interested in playing these games, so she took charge of taking care of the little sister and stood in the outer circle to watch.
Tang Shuangshuang held a fairy wand in each hand and waved it as she ran, looking lively and brilliant.
Tang Sisi hugged her third sister's neck and giggled with joy.
Tang Xueli tucked her sister's scarf carefully, and when she looked up, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the dark.
Lonely, lonely, sad...
Before I recognized who this person was, I first sensed the deep sadness on him. The two of them met eyes, and the person in the dark turned and left.
Tang Xueli handed Sisi to her elder sister and quickly chased after her.
"Yan Jingshu, are you hiding from me?"
The person three meters away in front of him stopped but did not turn around.
Tang Xueli walked up to him slowly and said, "Since you're here, why don't you say happy new year?"
Yan Jingshu forced a smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Happy New Year."
"You have a cold?"
Tang Xueli paused, feeling something was wrong, and looked at him, asking with concern: "What happened?"
Yan Jingshu lowered his head and was silent for a long while.
Tang Xueli did not urge him and accompanied him quietly.
"My mother...is dead..."
Yan Jingshu did not avoid the word "death".
It’s not that he passed away, it’s not that he is no longer here, and he hasn’t gone to heaven.
No euphemisms were used.
It’s not that he can’t accept this reality. Everyone will face this day, sooner or later.
But even though we know it, people have feelings after all, and we can't help but feel sad and miss each other.
Especially on such a reunion day when we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Tang Xueli's heart suddenly tightened. Teacher Gu was still very young, how could it happen so suddenly?
She didn't ask anything, didn't say anything to comfort him, she just hugged him gently.
"My mother has pancreatic cancer, in the advanced stage. It's too late, too late..."
Yan Jingshu buried his face in her shoulder, crying silently.
Tang Xueli patted his back gently and said, "Come to my house tonight."
"No, I want to be alone." Yan Jingshu said with a thick nasal voice: "I just want to come and see you, nothing else. Have a good New Year, I wish you a happy and healthy new year."
"Yes." Tang Xueli said: "Happy New Year, I wish you all the best and all your wishes come true."
"Thank you..." Yan Jingshu reluctantly let go of her arms and returned to his home alone.
The house was cold and empty, so cold that it made me feel uneasy.
The neighbors happened to be away from home; some had gone back to their hometowns, and some had gone to celebrate the New Year with their children and grandchildren.
Yan Jingshu fell on the bed wearing a thick coat.
When Tang Xueli came over with the lunch box, the lights in the room were not even on.
She turned on the light bulb and said, "Get up and have something to eat."
Yan Jingshu didn't move.
Tang Xueli walked over and saw that he was frowning and his lips were pale.
She reached out and touched her forehead, which was burning hot.
"Get up quickly, I'll take you to the hospital!"
Yan Jingshu snorted twice and said vaguely: "I won't go anywhere except to the hospital."
"Where are the medicines?" Tang Xueli asked.
Yan Jingshu: "Under the closet."
Tang Xueli took out the medicine box, found some antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs and fed them to him.
Yan Jingshu wanted to lie down again after taking the medicine, but Tang Xueli stopped him.
"You have to eat something, not just medicine."
"I don't want to eat. I have no appetite." Yan Jingshu hasn't eaten much for several days.
"Don't you want to live anymore?" Tang Xueli looked at him seriously, "Then I'm leaving."
Yan Jingshu grabbed her wrist, his eyes reddened, "Don't go..."
