Jian Yang has never been optimistic about Shen Ze and Jian Xiaoxing, because he knows him too well and he is not interested in anything other than technology.
However, Chen Ze couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled slightly, which made Jian Yang feel creepy.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Jian Yang warned him again not to have any improper thoughts about Jian Xiaoxing. She has been well-behaved since she was a child and is a typical good girl. She should not be desecrated at will.
Chen Ze was speechless. He felt that he and Jian Yang were not on the same page, so he went back to the factory on his own.
During the day, the boiler had been restarted and the heating in the office was now hot. As soon as he entered the room, he took off his cotton coat and took out the scarf inside.
He folded the scarf and put it back in the drawer, wondering when she would find out that the scarf was here with him.
After a day of confusion, he was finally able to understand the complicated data reports.
Not long after I watched it, my mother called.
"Zeze, I know you're working overtime. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Ask Xiaoxing to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Mom, this is not good. She will definitely eat at her uncle's house." Shen Ze felt guilty.
When having New Year's Eve dinner, one must drink some wine. After drinking, Jian Xiaoxing wanted to find someone to kiss. The scene was so beautiful that he couldn't imagine it.
But his mother asked him to just tell Jian Xiaoxing that they had already agreed on it when she met Wang Xiaoqin during the day.
Wang Xiaoqin also wanted to bring them together and have a meal together, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Chen Ze only felt that the heating was a bit too hot, and his body became hot.
The next day, New Year's Eve, although the factory had not yet closed for the holiday, the festive atmosphere was already very strong.
Red lanterns were hung everywhere, and the cafeteria had more dumplings of various flavors. By the afternoon, many employees who had finished their work went home early.
Jian Xiaoxing was invited by Shen Ze to dinner at his home. She had no intention of going home early and was ready to leave with him.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Xia called her hurriedly and asked her to return to the living area.
On the last day of the year, Jian Xia opened the video hall early to do the last wave of business, and closed it at six o'clock to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Unexpectedly, Yu Biao's home in the shantytown was set on fire by his younger brother playing with firecrackers and burned to ashes.
The house was already shabby and small, and now there was not even a clean brick left.
While everyone is about to have the New Year’s Eve dinner, their family has to live on the streets.
Jian Xia asked Jian Xiaoxing to go back and help sell tickets so that she could help rent a house.
On the last day, the clothing store was closed. Yu Biao and his mother were happily counting money when this happened.
Yu Biao felt really reluctant. The clothing store had just earned more than 200 yuan, but it was about to be spent.
Jian Xia reassured him, "You can always earn more money if you lose it!"
At this critical juncture, it was extremely difficult to find a house. Through Cuihua, she finally found a house in a bungalow area close to the pier.
Yu Biao's younger brother moved in but was a little dissatisfied. "It's big here, but the environment is the same as before. I see coal piles as soon as I go out!"
Yu Biao patted him on the back of the head and said, "At this time of year, it's good enough to find a house. Don't be ungrateful!"
When his mother saw this, she glared at him and said, "Don't hit your brother!"
Jian Xia saw this and curled her lips inwardly, thinking, this mother is really biased!
After moving, Jian Xia helped buy a lot of vegetables and put them at home so that Yu Biao's mother could prepare a good New Year's Eve dinner.
When she left, Yu Biao and his mother were busy cleaning up, and his brother was busy playing with the cat in the yard, so no one invited her to dinner.
She returned to the video room with a little disappointment, and Jian Xiaoxing asked her if everything was arranged.
Jian Xia forced a smile. "Finally, it's arranged. Because it's Chinese New Year, the landlord is asking for fifty yuan a month. How ruthless! I'll rent it for a month first, and after the Chinese New Year, I'll find a cheaper place."
Jian Xiaoxing was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "Xia Xia, I'm thinking that after the New Year, when the welfare housing from the chemical plant comes out, no one will want the house at the dock anymore. Why don't you buy one?"
Jian Xia laughed in surprise: "Xiao Xing, if no one wants it, why buy it? Besides, I don't have any money!"
"Gather the money you have and give it to Yu Biao. I'll make up for the shortfall. A house of your own, wouldn't you be tempted? If you don't live in it, you can rent it out to someone else." Jian Xiaoxing tried his best to persuade him.
She knew that once the welfare housing from the chemical plant was completed, it would have a huge impact on Haicheng's real estate. The communities near the dock and in areas with poor environments would be faced with a situation where no one wanted to live there.
Many people started selling their houses there at low prices.
But, in another six months, there will be a turning point.
The district will carry out renovation of shanty towns and bungalow areas, and when the time comes, land will be expropriated and demolished, and those houses will receive high compensation.
Jian Xiaoxing thought about it and decided to take advantage of the bargain when someone sold their house.
With the money she had, it was not a problem for her to buy a smaller bungalow.
Unfortunately, Jian Xia didn't listen at all, and instead thought her idea was unreliable.
Jian Xiaoxing didn't say anything more. Getting rich also depends on fate and cannot be forced.
At six o'clock, Jian Xia turned off the video camera on time. Everyone was clamoring and didn't want to leave, asking when the video room would reopen.
Jian Xia smiled and replied:
"If you're willing to pay a dollar for the fare, I'll drive it every day!"
The crowd made a "tsk" sound, and then they all stumbled and walked away.
Those who come to watch the video at this time are all idle young people who don’t have so much money, so they can only go home and have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, Jian Xia did not plan to stop for long. After the Lantern Festival, she would start driving again immediately. One day of stopping meant one day of losing money. She was a bit obsessed with money now.
Jian Xiaoxing packed up her things and hurried to Shen's house. As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she found that Shen Ze was already waiting for her.
Her heart warmed and she smiled at him.
But Chen Ze pulled her to the side to avoid the sight of the people in the room.
“Jian Xiaoxing, my uncle’s family is here. Mom asked me to tell you that you might be…” Chen Ze looked apologetic.
Jian Xiaoxing quickly stopped him with a smile: "It just so happens that this is my first time having New Year's Eve dinner at someone else's house. I'm afraid I'll feel awkward and not enjoy it to the fullest."
As she spoke, she put a paper bag in his hand, which contained gifts for him and Shen's mother.
Shen Ze scratched his head embarrassedly, "I didn't prepare a gift for you."
"It's okay. The gloves you gave me last time were just a gift."
Jian Xiaoxing stepped back and waved at him, the soft snow under his feet making a crunching sound.
Just as she turned and walked away, Shen Ze earnestly warned her from behind:
"Well, try not to drink alcohol during the New Year's Eve dinner, especially white wine!"
Jian Xiaoxing thought he was afraid that she would get drunk, so she didn't argue with him and turned her back to him and made an "OK" gesture.
How could she know that he was afraid that she would drink too much and lose control of her mouth.
Jian Xiaoxing turned a corner, and Shen Ze tightened his clothes and walked in.
He stood outside for half an hour waiting for her and felt a little cold.
When he entered the yard, Li Weihong rushed towards him happily, her wavy hair flying in the air.
