Xu Jiaojiao lay lazily on the sofa, not even willing to get up. She felt that her hands were about to break. In fact, it was not her fault. Xu Jiaojiao had not done anything before. Her body was delicate. No one could bear so much work all of a sudden.
Xie Zhi didn't know what to say, so he could only slowly massage her wrists and feed her some fruit from time to time.
The more Xu Jiaojiao thought about it, the worse it got. This was going to tire the boss to death: "When I get back, I'll find a few people who do bridal makeup and teach them, otherwise I'll be exhausted to death."
Xie Zhi stuffed the watermelon in, his eyes gentle: "This is a good idea, otherwise what should I do with my delicate hands like water onions."
Xu Jiaojiao said happily, Xie Zhi looked at the time and it was time to go get lunch. In fact, they could cook by themselves, but the chef in the canteen was very skilled, and even the helpers were good cooks, so everyone loved to go there.
Xie Zhi asked the girl what she wanted to eat, and went to the cafeteria before the round hour. He was very quick, ordering two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup, enough for three people. He put the food on the table, and then waited for his brother to get off work.
There is not much entertainment now, not even TV, let alone radio, after all, it would be considered as a pleasure-seeking behavior. Fortunately, Xu Shu has a lot of letters home and many famous works.
Xie Zhi held her in his arms and turned the pages for her to read Dream of the Red Chamber. Even though the text was in vertical lines, she would occasionally read it wrong, but a ruler was not convenient to help.
Just as Wang Xifeng appeared, the sound of a key turning was heard outside the door, and Xu Shu came in wearing a dark green military uniform, looking very handsome.
Seeing his sister looking like Lin Daiyu, his thick black eyebrows knitted tightly together: "Jiaojiao, who bullied you?"
"No, I was just doing makeup for a bunch of people today and I was so tired that I couldn't even straighten my hands." The girl complained and showed her brother her hands, which were so sore.
Xu Shu was suspicious: "You have become so enthusiastic now, but you were not willing to share the candy before."
"Brother, I'm thinking of opening a shop at home, and I'm training with these people first." Xu Jiaojiao explained unhappily. Was she like this before?
Xie Zhi graciously took out the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen and listened to the discussion between the two siblings.
Xu Jiaojiao was in high spirits, and her hands were no longer sore. She pointed at her face happily and said, "Brother, do I look good?"
“Naturally it’s the best looking.”
"That's right. Nowadays women all love to be beautiful. I will do makeup for people and sell clothes. I believe I can create my own business."
After saying this, he looked at his eldest brother hopefully, hoping to get an equally eager response.
Xu Shu took the bowl and chopsticks calmly, and didn't reply for a long time. He was so hungry that he ate a few mouthfuls of food before slowly saying, "Jiaojiao, I think it's better for you to prepare for the college entrance examination patiently. Why don't you put these things aside? The college entrance examination will probably be resumed next year. I, your eldest brother, also plan to take the exam. Education is still very important in the future."
"Brother, I will definitely not give up on this. I want to be the first college student in my family, but I think I should have my own career first. Don't rush to pour cold water on me. Go and ask about my achievements this afternoon."
Unexpectedly, Xu Shu looked serious, wondering if Jiaojiao had come here to see too many good things but had no money to buy them, so she wanted to make money. But it was very tiring, especially when running a shop and dealing with people.
After thinking for a long time, he said patiently: "Jiaojiao, if you are short of money, I will give it to you later. I have saved a lot of money over the years. Why do you have to make yourself so tired?"
"Besides, after you get into college and graduate and look for a job, I want to get you to Yuncheng and put you in a relaxed unit. If you don't have money to spend, mom and I will discuss and let everyone give you some money."
Xu Jiaojiao's nose was sour when she heard this. How lucky was she to meet such a good family? She burst into laughter and said, "Brother, that's not the case. I just want to make money. I want to build my own business."
Seeing the girl's resolute expression, Xu Shu didn't know what to say, so he just nodded in agreement and said dryly, "You should still focus on college. I'll get you the money to open the store later."
Xu Jiaojiao nodded and did not argue. She was determined to open a store and take the college entrance examination at the same time. After all, she was an extremely vain person. By then, she would be a first-generation college student, proficient in English, and able to do business. Just thinking about the admiring eyes of others would make her excited.
Xie Yi saw what Jiaojiao was thinking and gave the girl a piece of meat with his chopsticks: "Let's eat. We can go out for a walk during the afternoon break. It's not easy to come here."
"Okay." The girl's eyes were dark and bright.
After they finished their meal, Xie Zhi quietly cleaned up the kitchen and the dining table. Xu Shu had to work in the afternoon, so he had to catch up on his sleep. Xu Jiaojiao was no exception, as she was tired after working the whole morning.
When Xie Zhi came out of the kitchen, the girl was lying on the bed, wrapped in the pink quilt and fell asleep. She had a cute and innocent look, and she looked like she knew nothing about the world, which made him feel itchy.
He opened the quilt, pulled the person into his arms, and set the alarm for two o'clock.
........
The alarm clock was turned off, and Xie Zhi said in a hoarse voice after waking up: "Jiaojiao, wake up. Big brother bought us two movie tickets. We will eat out tonight."
"Ten minutes, just ten minutes." the girl murmured.
When ten minutes were up, Xie Zhi pulled Jiaojiao out of the quilt, held her in his arms, wiped the girl's face with warm water, and she finally woke up.
The two arrived at the entrance of the cinema. Xu Jiaojiao looked at the big sign with colorful lights on it, like a dance hall. There was something written on the ticket: Emmanuelle in Bangkok. It sounded like a foreign romance movie. It must be very old.
When the two entered, the cinema was already quite crowded. Seeing a movie is very expensive nowadays, so everyone came early, thinking they could choose a good seat, but they didn't know that it was already reserved.
Xu Jiaojiao and the others found their seats, in the middle of the back row. The row was not full. Nowadays, people like to watch guerrilla warfare and foreign love stories, all of which are watched by couples.
Xu Jiaojiao unconsciously lowered her voice: "Hubby, go buy some snacks."
Xie Zhi smiled mysteriously and took out an oil-paper bag from his backpack, which contained snacks such as peanuts and chicken feet, as well as two glasses of soda.
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, isn't this braised food? I haven't eaten it for a long time."
So, with Xie Zhi feeding her one by one, the movie began. The girl was watching the movie while eating snacks. They were so delicious. It turned out that making a fortune by eating food was only possible in ancient times. Now the technology is already quite mature.
With every bite, Xie Zhi's fingers were sucked by the girl, but she didn't notice anything wrong, leaving the man alone with the silent emotions in his heart.
Xie Zhi's cheeks had already turned red. Fortunately, it was dark in the cinema, with only a little bit of peripheral light. The fingertips that had been sucked were extremely hot, and Jiaojiao's lips were so soft.
