As soon as he said this, Li Ying and Ru Yue looked at each other across half the table.
Ru Yue raised her eyebrows.
Li Ying hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured tea for the old lady: "Mom, I'm already a little behind in my generation. Besides, Xinxin is our benefactor's sister. What do you think?"
The old lady looked at Ru Yue with embarrassment and smiled: "Hey, I'm just confused. I think about things I shouldn't think about."
Regarding the words of the old lady of the Yang family, Ru Yue pretended that nothing had happened: "Oh, the food is served. Let's all start eating. We are all familiar with it. Don't be polite. Let's eat whatever we want."
However, Ping Lihuai even came closer and suggested in a low voice: "Ru Yue, children rarely come to such occasions to eat. It is a good opportunity to teach table manners. You can't do it casually. You must teach them to be in an orderly manner. Whoever uses the chopsticks first will be able to do so."
move."
"...!" Ru Yue quickly took back the chopsticks she stretched out.
Alas, Ping Lihuai is truly a born teacher!
"Then, shall we ask the elders of the guests to use their chopsticks first?"
"Yeah." Ping Lihuai sat upright.
Ru Yue took a deep breath, sat down by herself, and called out to Ru Xin: "Xin Xin, sit down, um, today Teacher Ping is going to teach us manners at the table. This is very important. Children who understand politeness are the popular children.
, we all have to listen to it.”
At this time, all the adults became unnatural and did not dare to move their chopsticks.
Ping Lihuai started talking eloquently: "Ru Xin, people in our country attach great importance to etiquette, so our country often uses one word to describe it, called..."
Ru Xin immediately replied: "A land of etiquette."
"If the answer is correct, add a little star."
Ru Xin danced proudly to Doudou: "Doudou, I have three more pills than you today!"
Ping Lihuai: "Ru Xin, don't talk anymore. It's class time now. Let's talk about table manners first. The simplest thing is to sit with posture, don't lean on the back of the chair, don't play with bowls, chopsticks and spoons. The dishes are here. Elders
If you eat without using your chopsticks, the juniors cannot move first..."
This meal made several adults very tired.
But no one dared to say they were tired, and there was a satisfied smile on their face.
When she came out of the hotel, Li Ying took advantage of the old lady Yang and her two children to walk in front, and quickly stepped back to talk to Ru Yue: "Sister, my old lady is old and can't think clearly. What I said before...
Don't take it to heart, we Doudou... are not worthy of Ru Xin."
Ru Yue smiled: "I don't have such thoughts."
"I know, I know." Li Ying nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ru Yue knew that she had misunderstood and explained:
"I mean, I don't have this idea of whether I am worthy or not. Children, they are the most innocent age now. They really just play together. Adults should not guide them in other directions. But if we
When Ru Xin reaches marriageable age, I have no idea who is worthy or unworthy.
Because I believe that by that time, I will have a successful career and be relatively free financially, and Ru Xin will also have received a good education, and will not be pampered in our family, nor will she be allowed to do anything.
I don’t understand. She should be more thoughtful than other children of her age, so she will have certain criteria for choosing a mate.
Then, what I have to consider is Ru Xin’s own wishes. It is best for her to be responsible for her own life. Why should I think about whether I am worthy or not? Sister-in-law, my suggestion is that you will do the same in the future.
, your vision and thoughts should be broader and bigger."
Li Ying followed Ru Yue's thoughts and thought carefully: "What you said makes sense. But after all, our Doudou is worse than other children. I just want him to be healthy. If he really
I'm so happy that I can speak that I don't know what to do, and I don't dare to think about anything else."
Ru Yue: "Don't think so. Doudou is no worse than other children. He is very focused on what he does. Once a child like this is determined to do something, he may achieve another success when he does it!"
Li Ying's eyes were full of hope: "If you say that, I will be so excited that I can't sleep tonight! However, it's all because of you, and we won't say those kind words. I will take the last train back to Shanghai in the evening
Now that I’m here, I’m going to work hard and try to open more branches for us.”
"Okay, then I'll ask Xiao Guihua to take you to the hospital to see Lin Xiao."
***
Lin Xiao stayed in the hospital for more than a month before he finally recovered and was allowed to be discharged.
During this period, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau were also very helpful and helped her get a new identity certificate and an independent household registration book. The old bachelor has confessed all his crimes and is now temporarily detained in the detention center, awaiting trial.
Of course, during this period, Lin Xiao and Jiang Acai also established a very close relationship, almost like mother and daughter.
Before being discharged from the hospital, Ru Yue went to visit, and Lin Xiao and Jiang Acai asked together whether they could live together in the future.
In fact, Ru Yue had this idea originally. They are both women who have been severely beaten by life, and it is best if they can be together to take care of each other.
But if some things are too easy to obtain, others may not value them. Ru Yue suggested that after being discharged from the hospital, she would no longer bear the nanny fees for Jiang Acai, but Jiang Acai could work as an ironing worker in a clothing brand store.
, go to Shanghai to work with Lin Xiao, live in a dormitory together, and pay for other expenses by yourself.
The so-called dormitory is actually an old apartment that Ru Yue asked Li Ying to help find. The location is in a busy city, but these days, even the prices of houses in Shanghai are very low. Ru Yue bought it,
Now it is used as a staff dormitory, and it will also be an excellent value-added investment in the future.
Jiang Acai was of course very happy to listen. She said a lot of thanks and insisted on returning the nanny fee for more than a month to Ru Yue: "I am also idle at home. I am very happy taking care of Xiaoxiao these days. You
You don’t care about my food and drink, I shouldn’t take this money, you can take it back.”
Lin Xiao also looked at Ru Yue and said his decision: "Boss Ru, take it back. I know you are helping me, but you really shouldn't spend this kind of money. I have thought about it and I will help you in the future."
After deducting the medical expenses that should be paid to you, I will work for you for free for three more years. You only need to give me a little salary, enough for me to eat. After three years, I will support Aunt Jiang... My most difficult thing
She took care of me when I was young, and I will provide for her in old age in the future!"
Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with sparkling tears and deep stubbornness.
Ru Yue patiently explained to her: "You can decide for yourself how you want to live with Aunt Jiang. But everyone still has to figure out the money matter. From now on, salary is salary, and gratitude is gratitude. Don't mix them together. Nothing is free.
Three years of work. If you feel that I have helped you and you are grateful, then you can calculate the medical expenses during these days and pay them back to me slowly in the future. I will put the money in our factory to establish
