Jian Xiaoxing didn't expect that He Xiang would be so proactive and come to help Mother Shen after work.
Mother Shen also saw Jian Xiaoxing at a glance and greeted her with a smile.
In less than a month, Chen Xiulian's restaurant was almost finished with decoration, and once all the tableware was purchased, it could be opened for trial operation.
Chen Xiulian was also curious about what Jian Xiaoxing came to the market to buy.
Jian Xiaoxing then expressed his idea of buying some roses for the Qixi Festival party.
"The uncle just now told me that there are people growing roses in Wangjia Village. I was just thinking of going back to ask my aunt, she is from Wangjia Village."
He Xiang smiled and held her back, "Don't ask, I'm also from Wangjia Village. The family that the uncle said grows roses should be my family."
Jian Xiaoxing looked surprised. "Really? I just want branches, about 200. Do you have any?"
"It should be no problem. When do you want it?" He Xiang smiled, showing her white teeth.
Jian Xiaoxing thought for a moment and said weakly, "Can you take me there this weekend?"
She was afraid that if the plan turned out not to be suitable, it would be in vain. There was still half a month before Chinese Valentine's Day, and if the plan was not feasible, she could still make adjustments in time.
He Xiang readily agreed: "Okay, how about meeting at Aunt's restaurant at 8 o'clock this weekend?"
Chen Xiulian smiled and continued, "Okay, okay, in the next few days, you guys help me think of a nice name for the restaurant, and I'll make a sign over the weekend."
The few of them chatted for a few more minutes before separating and returning to their respective residences.
Jian Xiaoxing returned to his uncle's house.
My aunt and uncle had already finished dinner and were sitting on the roof, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans to enjoy the cool air.
Although there is an electric fan at home, they feel that it would be a bit wasteful of electricity for only two people to use it.
Besides, people nearby were all on the rooftop enjoying the cool air, and they could chat with each other.
Seeing Jian Xiaoxing coming back, Wang Xiaoqin greeted her happily and asked her if she had eaten.
Knowing that she was still hungry, he left Jian Baoguo and came down the wooden ladder.
Jian Xiaoxing hurried over to hold the ladder and said embarrassedly:
"Aunt, I can heat up the food myself."
We recently got a refrigerator at home, so we no longer have to hang leftovers in the well to store them.
"I mainly want to chat with you." Wang Xiaoqin scolded: "You kids are not at home. Your uncle and I are getting sick from boredom."
While heating up the food, she asked about Jian Yang's affairs.
She had also heard from her neighbors about Jian Yang chasing after the little girl, and she was so angry that she vomited blood.
She doesn't want to work as a good nurse in the hospital, but instead chases after a janitor in the factory.
Jian Xiaoxing had never seen the young nurse before, so he didn't want to compare her with He Xiang. He didn't dare to say much and just focused on eating the hot meal.
To be honest, she admired He Xiang very much. She was a girl who dared to think and act, and she might be much better than any young nurse in the future.
After dinner, it was dark, and my aunt asked Jian Xiaoxing to sleep at home and go to work the next morning.
She thought she wanted to go running the next day, so she insisted on going back to the factory.
"Just let her go back. It's hot at home, and the fan in the dormitory is powerful enough to keep her cool." Jian Baoguo knew that his niece was stubborn, so he didn't keep her.
August is the hottest time of the year. Living by the sea, with the sea breeze blowing, it is quite comfortable at night.
Jian Xiaoxing rode his bike through the city center. The street lights here were brighter and safer than elsewhere, and he met many young people who lived the nightlife.
When she passed by the only cinema in Haicheng, she glanced at the posters at the door of the simple cinema. There were only three or four movies in total, all of which were feature films of that era, and one of them was said to be the first love film to feature a kissing scene.
Men and women entering and leaving the cinema all wore what they thought were the most fashionable clothes.
A TV set cost more than 300 yuan, which most families could not afford, so they had to watch movies for 30 cents.
This is already one of the few ways to date.
As for the dance halls that were just becoming popular, only people with some financial resources could enter them, while video halls became a place for young people with special hobbies.
At this time, the slightly fat figure wearing a red dress caught Jian Xiaoxing's attention.
In this era of material scarcity, people with this kind of figure are extremely rare. Could it be Jian Xia?
Why was she wiping tears as she walked?
Jian Xiaoxing rode her bicycle towards the red figure and suddenly braked beside her.
"Xia Xia, it's really you!" Jian Xiaoxing looked surprised.
I asked her to go shopping with me after get off work, but she said she had something to do!
It turned out that he had also run back to the living area.
When Jian Xia saw Jian Xiaoxing, she grinned and burst into tears.
The way she cried was not very good, with snot and tears mixed together, it was as ugly as it could be.
Jian Xiaoxing hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.
"Xia Xia, stop crying. You've become a big cat."
Jian Xia cried for a while, her sobs gradually subsided, and her nose turned red. Then she told Jian Xiaoxing what had just happened.
It turned out that she suddenly received a note and a movie ticket in the afternoon, and thought that Zhang Wei was inviting her to see a movie.
When she arrived at the cinema, she found Zhang Wei sitting next to her and was a little excited.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Wei saw that it was her, he was very angry and asked her why she had this movie ticket.
She explained, but Zhang Wei didn't listen at all. He asked her why she didn't look in the mirror before going out and how could someone ask her to see a movie.
That look of contempt and disdain completely hurt Jian Xia's heart, and she ran out crying.
"Xiaoxing, this time, I really see Zhang Wei's true face. Even if he doesn't like me, he wouldn't insult me like that. I swear, I will never think about a man like that again. Otherwise... otherwise, I will never get married!"
