On the weekend, after a week's work, Jian Xiaoxing stayed at home and just wanted to have a good rest for a day.
Jian Xia wanted to take her shopping, but she lay in bed and didn't want to get up.
"Xia Xia, I'm so tired, go by yourself!"
Because my maternal grandmother was ill, my uncle and aunt returned to Wangjia Village.
Jian Yang used the excuse of having to work overtime and did not come back.
Only Jian Xiaoxing was left at home, lying dead on the bed.
In fact, she was not sleepy at all, just a little tired.
After going through so much in just two months, she just wanted to be alone and quiet.
After less than two seconds of silence, there was a knock on the door.
She was wearing cotton pajamas, with her hair loose, and hid behind the door. "Who is it? My aunt is out and will be back in the afternoon."
She thought she was looking for her aunt. She had many sisters to chat with, and some of them often came to play with her.
The voice of the visitor was deep and magnetic, "Jian Xiaoxing, it's me. My mother asked me to come find you."
Jian Xiaoxing was startled, biting her lip and remembering that she had promised to help Shen's mother inspect the goods last weekend.
"Wait for me."
Jian Xiaoxing did not open the door, but quickly tied her hair on top of her head into a simple bun, and then found a set of clothes to change into.
Considering that she might have to move things later, she wore a pair of dark pants.
Thinking that she didn't want to wear the same couple's shirt as Chen Ze again, she deliberately wore a cotton plaid shirt.
Nowadays, it is popular to wear Dacron in summer, but Jian Xiaoxing thinks cotton is the most comfortable.
When she opened the door, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Ze still wearing a white shirt and green military pants.
No one would pair them up today.
"Sorry, I felt a little dizzy just now, so I lay down for a while." Jian Xiaoxing felt a little guilty for leaving Chen Ze outside.
Shen Ze's expressionless face flashed with concern: "Are you feeling better? I didn't know you were not feeling well, otherwise you shouldn't have gone."
"It's okay, let's go. I bought the goods and I need to inspect them myself to feel at ease."
Jian Xiaoxing had already raised his legs and walked out of the yard.
Shen Ze hurried to catch up, silently watching her back.
Actually, it is not necessary to go.
He smiled bitterly to himself. He was always decisive and efficient at work, but why was he always fussy when it came to Jian Xiaoxing?
In the restaurant, the decoration masters are working hard. The kitchen is almost finished. A clay stove and two coal stoves are already ready.
The floor of the hall has been leveled and is waiting to be tiled.
After a while, the tile owner arrived on a tricycle. Jian Xiaoxing counted the number of tiles and checked to ensure the integrity of the tiles.
Shen Ze helped the boss to move the tiles out of the car and place them against the wall.
Every time Jian Xiaoxing wanted to lend a hand, he was coldly dismissed by Shen Ze:
"Stand aside and don't get bumped."
Chen Xiulian heard her son's cold tone and took Jian Xiaoxing's hand to stand up for him.
"Zeze, talk to Xiaoxing nicely."
The tile shop owner was also straightforward and said, "Aunt, your son is worried about his wife!"
His words made Chen Xiulian laugh out loud, and Jian Xiaoxing's face turned red unconsciously again.
Just when everyone was busy, talking and laughing, a girl with two thick braids walked over briskly.
"Auntie, are you the boss here?" the girl asked with a sweet smile, revealing her big white teeth.
She was probably in her early twenties, with two thick braids and delicate features, but her skin was a little dark, and she was obviously a local.
The locals grew up by the sea, exposed to the sea breeze, and their skin is a bit dark.
Chen Xiulian greeted her warmly, "Big sister, are you here looking for a job?"
"Auntie, you can just call me He Xiang. I passed by yesterday and saw your job recruitment notice. They said the boss was not there, so I came here today to try my luck. Boss, I'm doing cleaning at the steel plant now, and I'm very capable." He Xiang promoted herself with determination.
Chen Xiulian was pleased to see that he was handsome and eloquent, but she was curious why he quit his good job at the steel mill.
He Xiang didn't hide it and said indifferently: "The work in the steel mill is originally temporary work, and being chased by people is too annoying."
Jian Xiaoxing, who was standing by, smiled secretly after hearing this. He Xiang was really brave because she was trying to avoid her suitors.
Without hesitation, Chen Xiulian asked her to come and help the day before the opening, and her probationary salary was 20 yuan a month.
He Xiang was very happy and left while playing with her braids.
After a busy morning, Jian Xiaoxing and his friends went to the restaurant for lunch as usual.
It was past lunchtime and there were fewer people in the restaurant, so they ate quickly.
Seeing that Jian Xiaoxing had only taken two bites of his bowl of dumplings, Shen Ze asked the waiter for another bowl of brown sugar water.
"Why are you giving me this to drink?" Jian Xiaoxing frowned.
"You haven't eaten much. You'll feel dizzy again soon."
Shen Ze pushed the sugar water to her without giving any explanation, thinking that she was dizzy because she was hungry and hadn't eaten.
In fact, Jian Xiaoxing's vertigo hasn't occurred for a long time.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological reason, but the original owner would faint when stimulated.
Jian Xiaoxing was bullied by both Li Weihong and Xue Min, but she did not faint from anger, which proves that she is much better now.
Seeing that her adopted son finally understood how to be gentle and considerate to women, Chen Xiulian smiled and said:
"Zeze, please send Xiaoxing back home after dinner. He must be very tired after tossing around all morning."
Shen Ze followed suit and stood up. After seeing Jian Xiaoxing finish drinking the sugar water, he lifted his leg and walked out.
Jian Xiaoxing had no choice but to say goodbye to Chen Xiulian and follow him.
"In the future, if you don't want to come, you don't have to. My mom wanted to open a shop on a whim, and I just wanted her to have something to do. I didn't expect her to actually make any money."
Shen Ze walked side by side with her and talked as they walked.
Jian Xiaoxing thought to himself, he was really rich and powerful, and he opened the store just to make his mother happy.
However, after spending some time together, she felt that she could get along well with Shen's mother and was willing to come to the store to help.
"I'm very happy to be able to help Auntie. However, I don't agree with you that you don't expect her to make money. Auntie is a good cook, and the restaurant will definitely be prosperous."
The two chatted idly when they suddenly saw Jian Yang and He Xiang arguing fiercely under a locust tree not far away.
Jian Xiaoxing and Shen Ze stopped, stepped aside and did not move forward.
Jian Xiaoxing whispered, "Could the suitor He Xiang was talking about be my cousin?"
Shen Ze frowned: "I heard him mention it before. She was a cheerful and bright girl. She looks very similar!"
"Did he tell you?" Jian Xiaoxing's face darkened.
"Just a mention."
Haha, just by mentioning her I remember that she is cheerful and bright!
Chen Ze didn't understand why Jian Xiaoxing suddenly became unhappy. He thought she was angry that Jian Yang was chasing after the girl so much. It was so embarrassing.
Under the locust tree, He Xiang wanted to leave, but Jian Yang held her back. The two of them pulled each other for a long time before He Xiang ran away crying.
Looking at He Xiang's back, Jian Yang punched the tree.
Jian Xiaoxing hurried over and found that his hand was scratched by the bark and was bleeding.
