Mrs. Xu was very anxious and couldn't wait to take Xu Qingqing to Ji's house the next day.
On the way, Xu Qingqing listened to her talk about the situation of Ji's family. Her parents died in an accident, her grandfather also died of illness a few years ago, and there was only one grandma in the family.
"Did people pay compensation in an accident?" she asked Mrs. Xu, and then added, "If there was a car accident and everyone died, I should be able to compensate a lot."
Old Mrs. Xu: "I'll definitely pay for it. It's easier because there are fewer people. We're in the next village. If something happens, we can help. Their family won't dare to bully you."
Xu Qingqing thinks so.
They have a small family, so if they dare to bully her, let Xu Zhuang and the others teach her a lesson. They are also married close to each other. If she is forced to go back, she will definitely not dare to treat her badly.
When the two arrived at the door of Ji's house, she looked at the well-decorated small western-style building. The courtyard was really nice, the flowers on the bouquets were blooming, the paths were clean, and the decoration was particularly unique. It didn't look like a rural courtyard at all. Various kinds of roses are also planted.
As soon as Mrs. Xu saw her expression, she knew that she was satisfied. She emphasized with emphasis, "The boy planted these all by himself. He is diligent and carefree at first glance. Why do you have to worry about marrying him? You will enjoy a happy life!"
Wang Xiufen said last time that the child caused the trouble, wasn't she referring to her grandson
Xu Qingqing is a lazy person. When she heard that he could take advantage of him, she didn't care that he had a low education and was in a rural area. But there was one thing, she said, "It shouldn't be too ugly."
She is a YanGou.
Maybe such a man has a strong back and strong waist, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. But she hopes to be more handsome so that she can catch his eye. After all, he has obvious advantages.
Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "He's not ugly. I heard he's a very handsome young man."
"That's good." Xu Qingqing continued to look at the courtyard. Even the vegetable plot was beautifully planned, and her mind was already filled with thoughts.
How nice is it to take pictures here? It's like a park, she likes it.
When the time comes, she doesn't have to work, she has a house, a car, and a beautiful yard. Her grandmother is hard-working. If she gives birth to a child, she can feed their family to death and control the family's finances.
You can buy whatever you want. At worst, you can buy a house in the city.
Mrs. Xu called inside, but no one answered.
"Xu Qingqing?"
Just when Mrs. Xu thought there was no one, an uncertain voice came from behind. Xu Qingqing turned around and saw Ji Liang standing behind her. Her heart skipped a beat, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising crazily.
She had forgotten that Ji Liang was from Jijiacun.
Is this Ji Liang's home? Did the other party confess his love to her when he was in junior high school? Can it be said that it is inevitable for her to marry him? It turned out to be him. You should have told me earlier.
Then, she saw the person next to Ji Liang, who was wearing a khaki short shirt, loose casual pants, a black peaked cap, and a mechanical watch on his hand.
Very simple and trendy Korean style outfit, tall, thin and tall, so handsome and cool that people can't take their eyes away.
Ji Huai approached and raised his head slightly.
Xu Qingqing looked at his face and had a vague impression, "You look familiar to me. What's your name?"
"Ji Huai." Ji Liang came up, "You are classmates in elementary school, but it seems that you were divided into classes in the sixth grade, right?"
"Yes, yes." Xu Qingqing smiled brightly, "I have forgotten everything in the past. You have changed a lot."
When I was in elementary school, I couldn't tell anything, and no one had any contact with him. But now he has become so handsome.
Although Ji Liang's family background is good, Ji Huai's style is her favorite. A thought came to her mind: I wonder what Ji Huai's family background is like
"I don't remember either." Ji Huai's tone was neither salty nor cool, and he walked over and opened the door, "Who are you looking for?"
"This is your home?" When Xu Qingqing asked this question, she looked straight at him, her ecstasy could not be concealed.
"It's his home." Ji Liang answered for Ji Huai, walked in and said, "His home is nice, right? The small courtyard is more beautiful than the courtyard in the villa. It is not only beautiful, but also practical. It is full of fruits and vegetables. I recently Come for a walk every day.”
Wang Xiufen also came back. When she saw Mrs. Xu, she stepped forward quickly.
"Your duck eggs are really delicious. My granddaughter and I were out for a walk, so we came here to buy some." Mrs. Xu happily said to Wang Xiufen.
"How much do you want to buy?" Wang Xiufen asked.
"Buy a few more this time, buy ten." Mrs. Xu said and walked in with her. Xu Qingqing quickly followed. When she saw Ji Liang sitting at the table, she went over to chat implicitly.
Ji Liang couldn't think of so much, so he started chatting with her. Xu Qingqing sat down and glanced at Ji Huai from the corner of her eye to pick up the topic and asked Ji Liang, "I haven't seen her since I graduated from junior high school. What have you been doing recently? "
"After graduating from technical secondary school, I went to work in sales, and then I raised shrimps in Nanyang. This year, my brother-in-law stopped raising shrimps and invested in other industries, so I came back." Ji Liang often came to Ji's house during this time, and the relationship between the two families has deteriorated. Well, he is more casual.
Several people were sitting under the passion fruit shelf at this time. Each passion fruit was hanging down. He stood up and picked a few ripe ones. He asked Xu Qingqing, "Do you want to eat it? Their passion fruit is very sweet and very delicious." .”
All the other fruits in the yard have passed their fruiting period, only the passion fruit is still there.
Xu Qingqing: "I'll try it too."
Ji Liang took the knife from the side, lightly poked the passion fruit skin, cut it in half and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Xu Qingqing took it, a little shy. It seemed that Ji Liang still liked her.
At first, she felt that Ji Liang's condition was not up to standard, he was dark and strong, and his father was sick. How could his family's situation be much better? So I didn't agree, but there was a lot of ambiguity and it dragged on for several months.
They say the one who failed is Bai Yueguang. She is probably the Bai Yueguang in Ji Liang's heart, right
"It's a small matter, eat a few more." Ji Liang cut a few more and gave them to Wang Xiufen and then to Mrs. Xu.
"Your passion fruit is quite sweet." Mrs. Xu also sat down, not planning to leave yet.
Even if Wang Xiufen despises the Xu family, she can't show it. Besides, Ji Liang is here, so she can't chase them away, so she pretends to be harmonious and follows Mrs. Xu's words at every turn.
"Aren't you going to work after you come back?" Xu Qingqing asked Ji Liang again.
She was not familiar with Ji Huai, so she could only rack her brains to chat with Ji Liang.
Ji Liang: "I'm preparing to start a business."
Xu Qingqing: "Start a business?"
"Yes." Ji Liang ate another passion fruit, raised his long arm and put his arm around Ji Huai's shoulders next to him, "My partner is here. Boss Ji has vacated a fish pond and is working on upgrading facilities. I provide the technology and he provides the capital, and the money earned is divided into 50% and 50%. Next month, we can buy shrimp seedlings and put them in the fish ponds.”
Ji Huai was replying to the message. He clicked his tongue and shook off his hand, "Don't move your hands or feet."
Ji Liang didn't mind at all. He put his hand on Ji Huai's shoulder again and said with a smile, "I'll do the hard work anyway, I'll raise the shrimps, and boss Qian Ji will do the work, so we can divide the work and cooperate."
"Raising shrimp is very profitable. Now it costs tens of yuan per catty. The cost is not much. You can sell it in two months and you can raise it several times a year." Mrs. Xu joined the topic and felt even more incredible. She looked at Ji Huai's Eyes are almost gone.
"Making money means making money, but it's hard to keep them. I raised four batches at my brother-in-law's house last year, and only one batch could be sold. The weather last year was not good either. There was a lot of rain, thunder and rain often, which had a great impact. It depends on luck." Ji Liang sighed.
Shrimp farming requires too much skill, otherwise you will lose everything.
Ji Huai glanced at him and said, "Your father has raised him for more than ten years. You have been following him for so long and you still haven't mastered the technology? Reflect on it."
Ji Liang's father used to raise shrimps. At that time, the price of shrimps was not so expensive. In recent years, the prices have increased and they can make money. However, he suffered a stroke and could not work.
"If you can't keep it, keep raising it. If one batch doesn't work, keep raising it. If you succeed twice a year, you can make money." Ji Liang still has this confidence.
In fact, if he stayed with his brother-in-law for a few more years, he would be able to save money to buy land and dig fish ponds to raise his own fish. However, his brother-in-law invested all his money in real estate that he heard could make a lot of money. He had the skills but not the capital.
Ji Huai has a fish pond and money. The two of them were young and hit it off immediately.
When Mrs. Xu heard that it was possible to make money by raising shrimps, she felt an itch in her heart.
Shrimp farming doesn't mean you can earn tens of thousands per batch, it's hundreds of thousands per batch. Even if it's divided in half, it's still over 100,000 or 200,000, right? plus various incomes.
She looked at Wang Xiufen and took the opportunity to praise, "This grandson of yours has made a fortune, opening a factory and raising shrimps. You will be lucky in the future. Who said that only by studying can you live a good life? Who can study better than him? Why? Why not come out a few years earlier and study?"
Xu Qingqing winked at Mrs. Xu desperately.
Is academic qualification important at this time? She didn't care whether Ji Huai graduated from junior high school or technical secondary school. Anyway, they were both good and satisfied.
It's good to have a lower education level, but she has a higher level of education than him and has more say.
Wang Xiufen disagreed and said in a deep voice, "How can my grandson not study? He went to high school and didn't go to college until he was admitted. Of course he went there if he passed. The factory has only been open for a short time. He only started this business after graduating. "
What's the meaning? Did she say that her grandson was illiterate? She heard that Xu Qingqing only took a junior college exam with a very low score, not much better than Ji Huai.
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing's expressions froze.
Ji Huai went to high school? They think they only graduate from junior high school, or they don't even graduate from junior high school, and they only make money after working for several years.
Xu Qingqing's sense of superiority was shattered. She had also studied at a junior college for one year and had not graduated yet. Her academic qualifications were similar to Ji Huai's. Her previous aloofness and pickiness were completely smoothed away, and her posture became much more restrained. .
"It can't be helped if you can't get into it. The profession is quite good now." Mrs. Xu was thick-skinned and mumbled a few words. She praised Ji Huai a few more words and then asked, "Your grandson is not young anymore. Miss Tan." without?"
People in their twenties are indeed not young in the village. Men and women who are over twenty-five are all young men and women.
She originally thought that Ji Huai knew how to make money and was busy at home all day long, so how could he get in touch with girls? He can do this kind of hard work, but he is generally dull and talkative and doesn't know how to please girls.
Xu Qingqing quietly straightened her back, raised her ears and listened.
"We've talked." Wang Xiufen smiled wider and asked Mrs. Xu, "Has your granddaughter talked?"
Mrs. Xu's smile gradually solidified, "No, I've never talked about it, and I rarely have contact with boys."
"Aren't you in love yet?" Ji Liang looked at Xu Qingqing and asked.
"Yeah." Xu Qingqing said as she forced out a smile, but she still hadn't recovered.
Ji Huai already has a girlfriend, and Wang Xiufen seems to be quite satisfied with it, which makes her a little anxious.
"Oh." Ji Liang said nothing more and stood up to pick passion fruits again. Ji Huai put the phone aside and looked at him with a frown, "Can you stop picking? How many have you picked in the past few days? You've eaten half of it."
"It's just a few passion fruits. Boss Ji, you are a bit stingy." Ji Liang raised his hand and picked another one, "This one is good, ripe and big."
Ji Huai reached out for Ji Liang and dragged him back, "I'm going to pick some to send people to in a few days. What should I pick after you finish eating?"
"I have been a child for more than 20 years, but I can't compare to these passion fruits? Can your girlfriend finish eating so many?" Ji Liang resisted.
"Don't embarrass yourself." Ji Huai poured cold water on him.
"Come on, the boat of friendship is drowned." Ji Liang ate the passion fruit in his hand and shook his head.
When Mrs. Xu saw that Ji Huai and his girlfriend were in a good relationship, she looked at Wang Xiufen and asked, "Where is the girl we are talking about from? What does she do?"
"It's the same, I haven't graduated yet." Wang Xiufen said with a hint of pride, "I went to a normal university outside the province and became a teacher."
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing's expressions became increasingly ugly.
I thought that if the girl was incompetent, I could suppress her, but I didn't expect that she was a college student.
People came from the breeding area and they wanted to start construction of fish pond facilities. Ji Huai took Ji Liang to supervise the work.
Wang Xiufen also found excuses to go to work, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing had no choice but to go back.
On the way, Mrs. Xu felt very pity, "Why do you have a girlfriend? The family conditions look really good. How good-looking the young man is. You were not happy before. Look. Boys with good conditions, others Rush for it."
Xu Qingqing didn't care: "What's wrong with having a girlfriend? Aren't you not married yet? You are still studying outside the province, how unreliable is it? You can still divorce after getting married, so where can you follow me?"
They haven't seen him for so many years. Ji Huai is really handsome and he suits her very well.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu was slightly startled, and then she realized that Xu Qingqing was on the right track!
In the next few days, Xu Qingqing began to contact Ji Liang intentionally or unintentionally, and learned a lot about Ji Huai from him.
The other party's current income is not low. The factory can earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month. Even after paying wages, there is still 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and it is still in the initial stage.
Be generous to others.
She also inquired about his girlfriend, but Ji Liang didn't know or understand it.
Old Mrs. Xu is someone who has been through this before. She knows what men and women have done before. Which man with good conditions does not need to be robbed
Laugh at poverty but not at prostitution.
Wang Xiufen often shows off her yard. Recently, more and more people have come to chat, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing have also become one of them.
Xu Qingqing is smart and always drags Ji Liang along. He is also silly and naive. He also likes to stay in Ji's yard and refuses to leave. He is extremely diligent when helping with work.
this day.
Wang Xiufen was making rice dumplings, Ji Huai and Ji Liang were picking passion fruits, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing were here again.
Ji Liang's mother had just left, and there were tea and snacks on the table. Old Mrs. Xu was very familiar with it, and said with a smile, "Where are the rice dumplings? Are the rice dumplings selling well now?"
"What are you selling? I sent it to Ji Huai's girlfriend, and I also sent this passion fruit. I just sent a box a few days ago, and now I'm sending it again. This guy is worried that her girlfriend will not be fresh after eating it for a long time, so she sends it in batches. ." Ji Liang was speechless for a while, "I never found this kid to be so in love before."
"Bang!" As soon as he finished taunting him, Ji Huai threw a passion fruit and hit him in the head.
"You haven't even scratched the surface yet, but your family is too concerned about it." Old Mrs. Xu said with a smile, and glanced at Xu Qingqing.
Being kind-hearted means that this family is kind in doing things and has a high moral bottom line. No matter who marries in, life will not be any more difficult.
The point is: easy to bully.
"Why not?" Wang Xiufen wrapped another rice dumpling, "I really like that child, and the two children have a good relationship. Doesn't this hurt in advance? You bought me milk powder and clothes some time ago. Look, She bought many things in the yard.”
Mrs. Xu looked in the direction she pointed, and Wang Xiufen added, "Even though she is still in college, she is already making money as a tutor. It is more than enough to support herself. She also received a national scholarship and saved a lot of money."
It sounded like he was an top student and a good university. Xu Qingqing lost most of the mysterious confidence she had built up in the past few days.
"Still in love, and in a different place, there are many unknown things." Old Mrs. Xu could only grasp this point.
"That's right, we had a quarrel today." Ji Liang took the opportunity to agree, "We even had a voice chat for two hours."
"You and Xiao... did you quarrel?" Wang Xiufen almost said Wen Yun's name. In order to avoid trouble, she quickly changed her words. She held it back and looked at Ji Huai anxiously.
As Ji Huai spoke, Min tightened her lips and continued picking passion fruits.
"What's the fuss about? What's the fuss about?" Wang Xiufen asked.
"Don't worry, what couple doesn't quarrel?" Ji Huai didn't say much.
"How many years older are you than she is? Come on, you are a boy." Wang Xiufen put down the rice dumpling leaf and continued to point at him to lecture, "Why are you arguing with her? You must be messing around and making a mess."
Ji Huai closed the foam box filled with passion fruit and walked back into the house without looking back. He was obviously still a little angry, "If I don't let her, can I pick the fruits and let you make rice dumplings? You are the designated one. It's a habit that comes from being used to it. If I get angry to death one day, I might be angry with her."
"Why are you talking? Why did they offend you?" Wang Xiufen scolded him.
Ji Huai didn't reply or come out.
Mrs. Xu quickly said, "Why are little girls nowadays so difficult to take care of? Are they so temperamental? Do they have to be taken care of?"
Xu Qingqing also hesitantly added, hinting, "It may be because you have good academic qualifications and become independent. The requirements are actually very high. After graduation, the requirements will be even higher."
At that time, I will no longer look down on Ji Huai. Don't draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.
"Impossible, that kid has a good temper." Wang Xiufen denied, and Ji Huai scolded him in the direction of leaving, "I'm sure that brat must have offended people. Why is he angry? What is he angry about? I don't know how angry he is, and now he is still He is saying angry things, but if he really loses his popularity, he doesn’t know what he will do.”
Ji Liang picked two more passion fruits, sat down, cut them with a knife, and expressed his approval, "Grandma Wang, you didn't see that he was so anxious just now. At the end of the quarrel, his cell phone ran out of battery, and he thought he had hung up on him. On the phone, I was so angry that my face turned red and my neck was thick, and I spoke quite harshly. The person on the other end stopped talking, and I just put it there in a hurry, trying to explain awkwardly."
"I knew it." Wang Xiufen snorted coldly.
"It made people cry. He didn't hang up the phone until he had to go to class. He checked his phone for a few minutes, and then picked the fruit when he couldn't bear it anymore. Now that get out of class is over, he went up to make a call." Ji Liang guessed.
"Are you crying?" Wang Xiufen had a headache.
"No, it made me laugh. They even bought him clothes and shoes. The courier just arrived. Don't listen to what he said about his faults. He paid 5,020 yuan but was returned. He became even more depressed and confused. He whispered to me. I’ve been mumbling for a long time, and now I’m going to rush to confess… digging holes.”
Before Ji Liang could finish his words, the window upstairs was opened. Ji Huai threw down a passion fruit and hit it on the table in front of him. He said coldly, "I see you are impatient with life. Are you going to keep fooling around?"
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, don't say anything embarrassing." Ji Liang went to pick up the fruit, smiling even wider.
"I knew it must have been him." Wang Xiufen didn't sympathize with Ji Huai at all, and scolded him together with Ji Liang.
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing were completely speechless and sat aside with stern expressions, unable to find an entry point.
People with good academic qualifications can make money, and they can also buy things for Wang Xiufen and Ji Huai. Ji Huai and Wang Xiufen were both generous and attentive to her, and the fact that they could lose control of their emotions during a quarrel showed that they were both affectionate and affectionate.
Xu Qingqing is inferior to her in everything, how can she dare to speak? Confidence is gone.
