Lei Jia, who had endured one lesson, finally asked Xiang Jin the question she wanted to ask after the bell rang.
Since Xiang Jin and her grandparents can bring fruits to Yan Chen and Yan Fei, it must be that her relationship with her grandparents has been very good, right? Otherwise, her grandparents would not love Wujiwu!
Also, Yan Chen is such a cold and arrogant person. He has always been like a millionaire. When have you ever seen him take the initiative to contact anyone other than Xiang Jin?
But when he talked about Xiang Jin and her grandparents, his expression was very natural, and he even proactively mentioned that he would visit them in the next few days.
It can be seen that the relationship between Xiang Jin and her grandparents is indeed very good!
Xiang Jin shook his head, "Not yet, let's move on the weekend!"
"Ah? Why haven't you moved there yet?! I thought you had moved there?" Lei Jia was a little surprised.
Xiang Jin said, "No, I think it's troublesome to move. It's very tiring to clean up this and that!"
The most important thing is that she was afraid that they would ask her to change her surname and move her registered residence, in which case she would definitely not agree.
You must know that she will reach adulthood in more than two years, and by then she will be a completely independent person with civil capacity.
She can buy a completely her own house in the city where she studies. Wouldn't that be nice? Why should she depend on others? There are restrictions everywhere!
So during the process of recognizing her relatives, she was always prepared to evacuate if the conditions were not agreed upon, so why was she so anxious to move in with them? If they disagreed, she would have to do it again.
Move out from there?
It's really troublesome to move around. She doesn't want to tease that god, so she has to wait until she expresses her thoughts and see what kind of attitude they have. As long as they frown and show a
She wouldn't move in with them if she looked the least bit unhappy.
She is recognizing relatives, not based on people's looks, and she doesn't want a blood relationship? She is such an old person, can't she still take care of herself?
But fortunately, they are relatively unconventional in their thinking, relatively open-minded, and relatively reasonable. In that case, she will accept it!
Lei Jia said, "Then I'll help you clean it up then?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "No, I'll do it myself then."
Lei Jia said, "Oh, yes, yes, I will come to help you when the time comes. That's it, right?"
Xiang Jin looked at her strangely, "Why do I feel like you really want me to move in with them?"
Lei Jia nodded fiercely, "Of course, I hope you can have a real family to love you, instead of being alone forever!"
Xiang Jin was surprised for a while, and then she turned her head away. To be honest, she was lying if she didn't say that she was moved at the moment. There were so many girls in her class, and she was the first girl to say such a thing to her.
Xiang Jin said, "Are you sympathizing with me?!"
Lei Jia said, "That's not true. A person as strong as you doesn't need sympathy. I just think it's a good thing to have the sincere love of your family. For example, you won't be alone!"
"How am I lonely anymore?!"
"Oh, I'm just making an analogy! Just like me, you see, our family's conditions are average. It can't be said to be very good, but it can't be said to be bad either. I'm not as smart and good-looking as others, but I have something that really hurts my heart.
I love my mother and grandma.
So no matter when I am, there is always a softest place in my heart that is surrounded by a small fire and warmed. Whenever I think of them, my heart will be very stable, and I will work hard to overcome the difficulties, so
Ah, I just hope you can be warmed by such a small flame at any time."
Xiang Jin said, "That's nonsense, I don't lack love!" If others don't love her, why can't she love herself? She is not one of those weak-hearted glass people who seek comfort. She is the one who knows how to cherish herself best.
Yes, she won't let herself suffer.
Lei Jia said, "Yes, yes, you don't lack love, it's me who lacks love. This should be okay, right?"
Xiang Jin ignored her. Lei Jia looked at her and continued to ask, "How about it? I'll come and help you clean up on the weekend. Do you agree?"
Seeing the pleading and expectant look on her face, Xiang Jinzhi frowned, "Oh, I think there's something wrong with you, right? Are you tired of being in a hurry?"
Lei Jia said, "Yes, yes, do you agree?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, and then asked, "You came to help me, but what about your family? It should be on the spot that day. Your restaurant must be very busy that day, right?"
Lei Jia said, "Our family is fine. We have people helping us now. My grandparents, as well as my uncle and aunt, they come to our restaurant to help whenever they are on the spot."
Xiang Jin was surprised, "Okay, your business is so good now, do you need so many people to help?"
Lei Jia said, "Okay, it's indeed a lot better, and our family is indeed a little busy, but my uncle and aunt mainly came to our house to learn how to make the pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles. They are at our house
They may not be able to help for a long time, at most a month, because they want to open a restaurant like this in their town, but my grandparents may stay with us to help."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Your uncle and aunt's shop has opened, your grandparents won't go back to help them then?"
Lei Jia shook his head, "Our family has to pay them wages, okay? My uncle and aunt won't be willing to give them the price of the work, so the help will be in vain!"
"Huh?!" Xiang Jin was stunned again.
Lei Jia said, "My grandma was married to my grandpa later, and my uncle was not my grandma's biological child. He was born to the previous grandma, so my mother and my uncle are half-brothers and sisters.
After my grandmother married my grandfather, she later gave birth to my mother and another uncle, but that uncle died before he reached adulthood, so my grandmother now only has my mother as a daughter.
My uncle usually treated my grandma just average. He wasn't very good or bad, but he just wasn't very affectionate!
Besides, my uncle told my aunt that they would ask my aunt and her parents to help in the shop when the shop opens."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, I understand. In short, there is a gap between stepson and stepmother?"
Lei Jia nodded, "Yes, that's it!"
Then Xiang Jin asked again, "How is the relationship between your uncle, aunt, and your mother?"
Lei Jia said, "It's okay with my mother. Anyway, if our family needs help, my uncle and aunt still have to take care of it. But the only thing is that the relationship between my uncle and my grandmother is not close."
It's thick, and the relationship between me and my grandpa is average.
So my mother told my grandma that our shop is a little busy now anyway. Instead of asking outsiders to come to the shop to help, it would be better to let my grandparents come to help and then calculate the labor price for them, so that they
I can make some money myself, and if I have some money in my hands, I will have to speak tougher in the future."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, since you won't be busy then you can come and help me move!"
Lei Jia nodded, "Okay!"
As the class bell rang quickly, Xiang Jin and his friends started their second class. They quickly packed up their desks and took out new books.
After the last self-study class on Saturday night, Lei Jia said to Xiang Jin while packing up his books and things, "Xiang Jin, can you pick me up at the school gate at eight o'clock tomorrow morning?"
Xiang Jin was puzzled, "It's not like you don't know where our class dormitory is, why do you want me to pick you up? You can come in by yourself!"
Lei Jia said coquettishly, "Oh, you came to pick me up, ah?! That's it, let's go?" After saying that, she locked the desk and got up and left the classroom.
Xiang Jin was speechless and rolled his eyes to the sky again.
The next day, Xiang Jin took another long nap as usual. This time she slept until she woke up naturally. When she opened her eyes, several people in the dormitory had already gotten up. They had
Some had already made breakfast and were eating it, and some were washing or washing clothes on the balcony at the back.
Xiang Jin lay on the bed and relaxed her mind for a while. Then she picked up the electronic watch beside her and took a look at it. Then she saw that it was already three minutes past eight. She suddenly thought that Lei Jia was coming to help her pack and move today.
She was asked to pick her up at the school gate at eight o'clock. She jumped out of bed in one quick movement, and then got out of bed without even having time to fold the sheets and quilt covers. Then she quickly went to the balcony behind to wash up, and then
Then go downstairs.
When she had just walked halfway, she saw Lei Jia carrying two large bags of things and struggling to walk towards her direction.
"Oh, you're finally here, hurry up, hurry up, pick me up, it's me!" Lei Jia shouted as soon as he saw her.
Xiang Jin walked over with a frown, took a bag from her hand, and asked with some confusion, "What are you doing?"
Lei Jia said, "You are moving today, I will bring you something to congratulate you!"
Xiang Jin asked again, "So this is why you insisted on asking me to pick you up at the school gate last night?"
Lei Jia nodded, "Yeah, what if I can't carry it? And I can't carry these things to your dormitory. That would be bad if the classmates see it, and then they will gossip again.
, so I think I’ll just drop it off at your house first and then go to the dormitory with you to move things.”
Xiang Jin asked, "What did you give me as a gift? It's so heavy."
Lei Jia said, "The dishes are all vegetables, and there are some fruits. This is equivalent to me treating you to a meal."
Xiang Jin opened the bag in her hand and found that it contained a slaughtered chicken, a slaughtered fish, a piece of good pork belly, and then some fresh vegetables, such as cucumbers.
Tomatoes, garlic sprouts, green beans, shallots, garlic, etc.
Xiang Jin sighed helplessly, "Did you spend a lot of money?"
Lei Jia said, "Actually, I didn't spend much money, so I just bought you a melon. The meat and vegetables were bought for you by my mother and grandma. They heard that you moved in with your grandparents today.
When we lived together, we were all happy for you, and then they said that our food was not very delicious, but they didn’t have time to invite you to eat at an outside restaurant, so they simply bought you some food and let you cook it.
one time."
Xiang Jin felt moved in his heart, "Go back and say thank you to Auntie and Grandma Lei for me."
Lei Jia said, "Oh, no thank you, no thank you. Seriously, we are the ones who should be grateful. If it weren't for you, our family's business would not be so good. We might not be able to continue operating one day. And you usually
It also helped me a lot in my studies. Where can I buy you some food?"
Xiang Jin said, "I never thought of asking you to thank me?"
Lei Jia said, "I know, I know, I know you always help people without asking for anything in return!"
Seeing her talkative look, Xiang Jin didn't bother to talk to her about this matter. While leading her towards the classroom and dormitory building, he asked her about another thing, "Recently.
Have you seen Grandpa Yang and the others?"
Lei Jia nodded, "I've seen it, I've seen it. Grandpa Yang and the others have been selling cakes every day recently, today at this place, tomorrow at that place, they are selling them every day."
I also saw Qingmiao and his two brothers wearing new clothes that day. Grandpa Yang said that they would try to pay off all the debts of all their relatives within this year, and then start saving some money from next year and live happily.
For Qingmiao and his two brothers to study."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, that's good!"
Lei Jia said, "Actually, even if you look at the old faces of Grandpa Yang and his wife, they are actually only in their early fifties."
"Ah?!" Xiang Jin was surprised, "I thought they were at least sixty or seventy years old." For this reason, she was secretly worried that they were so old and their families were so difficult.
So young, what if one of the three is born and the other is short, and the two children are left alone? But I didn't expect that the two of them are still so young.
But think about it, people of their time got married relatively early. For example, those who got married when they were fifteen or sixteen had children when they were sixteen or seventeen, and those who got married when they were seventeen or eighteen, most of them had children before they were twenty.
Becoming a parent. In some families, the children get married early. They may become grandparents before they are forty years old. Presumably, they are also the ones who get married relatively early.
Lei Jia nodded and said, "I thought they were very old before, but later I found out from my grandma that they are actually not very old. It's because their daily life is too difficult and tight.
, or the mental pressure is too great, so the talent seems to have little energy."
About ten minutes later, Xiang Jin and the others arrived at the rental house where her grandparents lived. She took out her key, opened the door and walked in. However, Lei Jia still stood motionless at the door. She couldn't help but look back.
He glanced at her and said, "Come in?"
When Lei Jia looked at the neatly tidied and spotlessly mopped floor inside, she waved her hand, "I won't go in, lest I step on your floor and make it dirty later, hurry up and get your hands dirty."
Put down the things inside, and then put my thing in?"
Xiang Jin rolled her eyes speechlessly, then walked over and pulled her into the room, "How can I be as particular as you said? If it gets dirty, just mop it again later. What's the big deal? You
Put the things down, and then go to the living room to sit for a while. I will put the contents of this bag in the refrigerator first. If you want to drink water, pour it yourself. In addition, there are washed fruits on the table for you to take and eat."
Lei Jia glanced in the direction of the living room, then nodded, "Okay!"
Xiang Jin turned around and went to put things away, and then Lei Jia began to look at the layout of their home. Well, it was very simple. There was only a dining table, a dining table, a coffee table, a TV, and a three-dimensional TV in the whole hall.
Air conditioning, plus a refrigerator, and there are several coffee tables with seats next to them.
The small rubber stools on their backs are all necessary furniture and appliances for daily life, without any decoration. Maybe they think they will only stay here for more than a year, so they are too lazy to buy them. After all, they will be here for more than a year.
Moving is also troublesome, so make it as simple as possible.
"Xiang Jin, it seems your grandma is not at home?" Lei Jia suddenly asked.
Xiang Jin said, "You should have gone shopping for groceries!"
"You don't even know?" Lei Jia asked again.
Xiang Jin reminded, "I live in the dormitory."
Lei Jia said, "No, I mean your grandparents should tell you when you come over for breakfast in the morning."
Xiang Jin suddenly turned around, "Hey, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot that I hadn't had breakfast yet," and then she turned around and quickly put the ingredients in the refrigerator.
Lei Jia was surprised, "You haven't had breakfast yet. It's already past eight o'clock now?"
Xiang Jin said, "I slept in and woke up at three minutes past eight. Suddenly I remembered that you were coming today, so I got up and washed up quickly."
Lei Jia nodded understandingly, "No wonder I haven't seen you since I've been waiting for you for so long. Then hurry up and get settled. Once you're done, go have breakfast!"
Xiang Jin put the vegetables into the refrigerator by category, then went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then grabbed the keys on the table, then picked up two pears from the fruit plate, and then said to Lei Jiada
, "Let's go!"
Lei Jia was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "You're not going to eat?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yesterday I told my grandparents that I was going to sleep in the dormitory today, so you don't have to worry about me having breakfast. I'll get up and eat in the small restaurant by myself."
"Oh, is that so?" Lei Jia walked towards her.
Xiang Jin handed her a pear in his hand, then picked up the other one and took a bite.
The two of them went downstairs. Lei Jia saw Xiang Jin heading directly towards the girls' dormitory, so he reminded her, "Where's the small restaurant over here?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, it's already nine o'clock. I'll have lunch in two or three hours. I've had breakfast now and won't be able to eat lunch until later. Besides, I gnawed a pear."
Not very hungry either.”
Lei Jia was speechless and said, "Are you really good at saving money?"
"Save?!" Xiang Jin seemed to have heard a joke, "I'm not frugal!" She is the most willing to eat. She usually spends more money on food than on clothes.
If it's too much, she won't be willing to empty her stomach.
After the two arrived at Xiang Jin's dormitory, the students in the dormitory were all surprised when they saw Lei Jia. After all, Lei Jia was a day student and did not live on campus. Today is the weekend and the school did not strictly require students to do so.
We have to go to school to study today, so today is the kind of free time where you can study and rest. At this time, many people choose to relax and rest. Then someone asked, "Lei Jia,
Why are you here?"
Lei Jia said, "Oh, Xiang Jin is moving today, let me see if there is anything I can do to help."
Everyone heard that Xiang Jin was moving out of the dormitory today, and they all looked at her, and then someone said excitedly, "Really, Xiang Jin, you are moving out today?"
"
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded slightly, then bent down and dragged the box out from under the bed and put it aside. Then she found a bag to put a few pairs of her shoes in and put them next to the box.
"Ah, Xiang Jin, from now on you will have to put on your shirt, put your hands on your food, and open your mouth, and you will have money to spend at any time to live like a human being," someone followed.
Xiang Jin asked, "Didn't I have money to spend before?"
The other party was startled, and then said with a stern expression, "I didn't mean that, I meant you have more money to spend!"
Xiang Jin said, "You are thinking too much. Our family doesn't have much money, we are just like an ordinary family."
But the other party curled his lips and said, "Xiang Jin, don't deceive others. If your family doesn't have money, how can you afford to drive a car?
Your grandma only stayed here for a year, but she still bought a refrigerator, some air conditioners, and a TV. These things can't be bought with just a little money. They cost tens of thousands at least, right? So from this point of view
It can be seen that your grandparents have been accustomed to this kind of life for a long time.
Sigh, but having said that, Xiang Jin, your life is really good. You have such a rich parents. For a city dweller, it feels like you have transformed from a pheasant to a phoenix all of a sudden."
Xiang Jin didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but after hearing her last words, her brows wrinkled, then she turned her head and gave her a cold look, and the other party immediately shut up.
Then I heard Lei Jia say jokingly, "Zhao Xiaoying, are you so envious?"
Zhao Xiaoying said, "Nonsense, who in our dormitory doesn't envy you?"
Lei Jia said, "It's useless to be envious. Xiang Jin is my biological son. If you are not convinced, you can go back and ask your parents and relatives. Maybe you are also the daughter of a wealthy family in the city.
, that way you can also change from a pheasant to a phoenix!"
"You?!" Zhao Xiaoying suddenly became angry.
Then Lei Jia said, "That's right. We are all in the same class, and Xiang Jin has never provoked you. Is there any need to take the risk?"
We only have the last year to get along with each other. Once the summer vacation is over next year, it’s hard to say whether we will see each other again in the rest of our lives. Don’t you have a strong sense of classmate feeling between you?
No, I have it anyway!"
Zhao Xiaoying suddenly fell silent, and even the other girls in the dormitory who were originally dissatisfied with Lei Jia also softened their expressions.
Immediately, Ren Xiaoyan hurried over and said, "Xiang Jin, can I help you make the bed?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Thanks!"
"Hi, what are you thanking for? I told you that I would move in with you then." When she said the last sentence, she seemed to be deliberately reminding the people in the dormitory not to come and fight with her. After saying this, she
He immediately climbed into Xiang Jin's bed and folded the sheets and quilt for her.
Lei Jia asked Xiang Jin, "What should I do?"
Xiang Jin said, "Those two kettles over there belong to me, please help me get them."
"Oh, okay!" Lei Jia walked over immediately, and then Xiang Jin went to the balcony behind to collect her things, such as clothes and shoes to dry, a wash basin, a face towel, and a small plastic bucket.
The only advantage of summer is that it is faster to wash clothes and dry them. If the weather is bad, the clothes washed in the morning can be worn in an hour or two. Xiang Jin's clothes were washed yesterday, so they are completely dry by now.
, she took the clothes directly and locked them in her box.
Looking at the pile of things placed there, Lei Jia asked, "What should I move first?"
Xiang Jin said, "I'll get the box and two kettles. You can help me get the bedding. I'll get the rest later!"
Lei Jia nodded, and then asked Ren Xiaoyan to hand her the mattresses and mats for Xiang Jin's bed that she had packed. Then she asked Xiang Jin, "Xiang Jin, the bamboo grid on your bed and these mattresses underneath."
Do you want the cardboard box?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yes!"
Then Lei Jia looked at Ren Xiaoyan with a smile on his face, "Ren Xiaoyan, please roll up this mat and that bamboo grid together, and fold up those cardboard boxes and hand them to me. I'll use a rope to hold them together."
Tie them up so they can be retrieved later."
"Oh, good!"
The two of them were walking on the road with their things, and then Lei Jia asked, "Hey, why didn't you talk back when Zhao Xiaoying said that just now?"
Xiang Jin said, "She is an unimportant person, what does it matter between me and her?!"
Lei Jia sighed, and then changed the topic, "Hey, why did Ren Xiaoyan move to your bed?"
Xiang Jin said, "I guess she thinks my position is better. Her position is near the balcony at the back. The humidity there is relatively heavy in winter."
"Oh, that's it," Lei Jia nodded.
Xiang Jin said, "Probably!"
Lei Jia then said with excitement again, "Hey, did you see that Ren Xiaoyan was actually very reluctant to give you the bamboo strips and cardboard on your bed just now?"
Xiang Jin said, "I saw it, but it's a pity that I can't leave it to her, because I am also useful."
Lei Jia nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, that's right! You also need these things in your bed."
