In a blink of an eye, school started.
Both of Li Xin's feet were injured, so naturally he had to rest in bed. He was not a hardworking person, so he lay down for a holiday.
When she returned to the dormitory, Ye Jiao saw her startled slightly, but did not speak.
"Oh my God, Li Xin, why have you gained so much weight?" Another roommate spoke bluntly, and walked over to look at her, "You have a double chin."
Li Xin's face darkened.
Girls who don't love beauty, it's an insult to say that, she suppressed her temper, but her teeth were gritted.
Ye Jiao took a few glances from the corner of her eye.
"It's indeed a double chin, and besides, your legs are a lot thicker, and your waist seems to be thicker too." Another echoed, half-jokingly, "You eat too well at home, don't you?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Li Xin threw the luggage aside at once, with a cold tone.
Now, the atmosphere in the dormitory is weird.
The two who spoke just now looked embarrassed, "Just kidding."
Li Xin began to shake his face.
She was good at this trick, and everyone in the dormitory didn't miss her expression.
Who told someone to have a good family background? Still a native of the imperial capital, that is capital.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the people in the dormitory also walked out slowly, but Ye Jiao didn't feel anything special, and she didn't stay long after tidying up.
"I don't know how long it will take to shake my face this time." Xu Tao shrugged, dissatisfaction with Li Xin in his words.
"I don't care about her, please eat something delicious." Ye Jiao walked over with a smile and changed the subject, "What do you want to eat?"
"Is there something delicious?" Xu Tao is a snack food person, so when he said that, his attention was directly diverted.
However, Ye Jiao didn't care about Li Xin.
People are going to find something to do.
Even though she has already torn her face, it doesn't prevent her from embarrassing her, does it
No, let’s start talking about going to their restaurant for dinner again, and Li Xin said in a strange tone, “Ye Jiao, didn’t you say invite us to your restaurant for dinner? When will you invite us? It’s all about last semester.” You won't be lying to us, will you?"
She would like to see when this panic lasts.
"It was you who said to go to our shop, not I who said to invite you, did you forget?" Ye Jiao asked with a smile on his face.
Treat her like a fool
"It's all the same, I have to go anyway." Li Xin squeezed out a smile and said so.
"How can it be the same? Those who don't know think I'm lying to fight for the limelight, so I have to make it clear." Ye Jiao continued to say with a smile.
Li Xin's face froze.
Doesn't that mean she is fighting for the limelight
Holding back her breath, she asked again, "Will you go or not? Didn't you agree last semester?"
"I remember that it was said that it was under construction. If you want to go, you have to go after school at the latest, and you have to decorate. If you are in such a hurry, you can go to other places." Ye Jiao looked at her and said slowly.
Li Xin gave a cold snort with unclear meaning.
Still pretend!
They all went to set up a stall and said they had a shop.
"Just get together to eat and chat, what's the rush? It's just the beginning of school now, and there are a lot of things to do, so don't worry about it."
"Yeah, it's not a big deal."
…
The people in the dormitory came out to persuade him, but they didn't understand Li Xin's actions.
Ye Jiao looked at them and said, "Our house will reopen at the end of next month, and I would like to invite you to join us."
"Really?" Xu Tao leaned closer to her, his eyes sparkling.
"Really, we'll also have dinner together in the dormitory." Ye Jiao nodded.
"Where will it reopen?" Li Xin raised his face.
But Ye Jiao was surrounded by asking questions, not knowing if it was intentional, so she didn't answer her and continued to answer them.
Li Xin has a good face, and now she has more and more opinions on Ye Jiao.
She endured it.
Instead, I want to see where a store is opened.
Wouldn't it be to treat them to dinner for the sake of face, and finally say that they opened the restaurant by themselves
Hope and hope, finally look forward to the last day of the month.
Ye Jiao didn't move at all.
Li Xin sneered from the bottom of his heart, and was about to go back to the dormitory, to make fun of her, pretending that he had no money.
I have to tell everyone that she and that mud-legged husband are setting up a stall, can they still do it now
Once back to the dormitory, the door pushed open.
no one
Haven't come back yet
She sat on the sidelines and waited, thinking about what to say later, it was impossible to expose Ye Jiao's mask.
Waited for an hour, still no one.
She walked outside the door and waited for a while without anyone speaking. The bedroom opposite happened to open. The man saw her and asked in confusion, "Hey, why didn't you go to the party?"
"What kind of meeting?" Li Xin had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Didn't your dormitory go to Chengnan Street for a party? They're all gone, why don't you go?" the girl asked.
Li Xin walked out without waiting for her to finish speaking, feeling angry and humiliated in his heart.
Did Ye Jiao invite everyone to embarrass her on purpose
Angrily rushing to Chengnan Street, there was indeed a building that had been built. It was a two-story building. There were flower baskets and banners hanging at the door, "Buy one get one free today, and get dessert when you enter the store."
The first floor is extremely spacious, with more than a dozen tables, all of which are full of people. There is a counter at the door, and there are various wines on display.
"Excuse me, has Ye Jiao booked a table here?" She walked over and looked at the little girl at the counter. In the atmosphere, her words were not very polite.
"Sister Jiaojiao? Is she a classmate?" The little girl's attitude improved a lot, and she called a young man, "Statement, sister Jiaojiao's roommate, please bring it with you."
"Follow me, please." The young man made a gesture and led her to the stairs.
Li Xin looked at the other party, extremely puzzled.
However, he didn't expect to have any relationship with Ye Jiao, and felt that his service attitude was good.
The boy took her upstairs, and the second floor was one small private room after another.
Most of them are decorated with wood, which looks quite ancient.
Stopping in the innermost private room, Xu Tao's wanton laughter came from inside, and he was very happy.
This made Li Xin even more annoyed.
"Knock button." The young man knocked on the door and opened it for her.
I thought it was a food delivery, but Li Xin appeared in front of everyone, which was somewhat embarrassing.
They sat around the dining table, and there were several dishes on the table, such as braised fish, boiled chicken, roast goose, beef, green vegetables, cabbage and cauliflower...
It can be described as a feast.
Li Xin was so angry, he snorted softly, and defended himself, "I thought you guys were going, so you are stealing food here behind my back."
She has never been able to speak, and these words wiped out the guilt of everyone.
"Didn't you say that we will meet here at the end of the month? Everyone has come after school, and they have been waiting for you for a long time, thinking that you will not come." Xu Tao was not easy to provoke, and blocked her with these words.
"No one informed me, how would I know?" Li Xin's face was ugly.
"Didn't you just say it before? Everyone is very busy these days, and you still have to ask one by one?" Xu Tao answered, and then wrote lightly, "It's fine if you come, let's sit down and eat? We're just getting started. "
Li Xin thought he would see their embarrassing faces, but everyone was very casual, and didn't think it was a problem at all.
Her imaginary apology, embarrassment, nothing at all.
People are talking in twos and threes, you put vegetables for me, and I put meat for you, but no one really pays attention to her.
Speaking of which, Ye Jiao did not inform her. During this time, Li Xin probably didn't realize that her relationship with everyone in the dormitory was very stiff.
If we had a better relationship, wouldn't we make an appointment to come over after school
Just as Li Xin sat down, the door was opened again, and the young man brought in the dishes again, and a fresh fragrance wafted over.
"smell good."
"What's this?"
"Mutton?"
…
"The mutton soup contains thirteen kinds of traditional Chinese medicines. It's very nourishing. You should try it." Ye Jiao said as he put the spoon into it.
"Is this the ingredient your husband prepared?" Xu Tao asked curiously.
"Well, he made it himself." Ye Jiao filled a bowl for her.
"Tell them not to serve the food. It's enough to eat, and I can't finish it." Another roommate looked at the table of dishes and hurriedly said.
"yes."
"Stop it."
…
Everyone else was echoing, only Li Xin said, "Is your husband working as a chef here now?"
People present: "..."
This person's brain is not good.
"Ye Jiao said many times that they built this building and it just opened today." Xu Tao said helplessly.
"Such a big place." Li Xin obviously didn't believe it, and he didn't stop when he said it.
The Li family is not a wealthy family. It is already the limit to eat some meat every now and then. It is not so good for a wedding with such a big table.
"Yes, it's very big." Xu Tao turned around and praised, "I think your husband is amazing. I used to think that your family married a little early, but now I think it's pretty good."
Li Xin pursed her mouth, waiting to see how Ye Jiao panicked when she paid the bill.
Wanting to be rich is crazy.
This meal was destined to be a full meal, and everyone was full. When it was about to end, Ji Yang knocked on the door and came in, asking softly, "Do you want more food?"
"No need." Everyone was very polite.
Many people saw him for the first time, and he was not much older than Ye Jiao, and he was still wearing a white shirt. He had regular features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked more handsome than those boys in the school.
"Do you want more juice?" He asked again.
"We're full."
"Thanks."
"It's troublesome, I'm sorry."
…
Everyone scrambled to speak, polite words popped out one after another.
Li Xin felt that Ji Yang was trying to show off.
She pretended to go to the toilet, but went downstairs to find the waiter, walked to the counter, looked at the little girl and asked, "Is your boss here?"
The opponent suddenly became wary.
Isn't this person Jiaojiao's roommate? Don't you know that Brother Yang is the boss
Today, several people asked her who Ji Yang was, and when they said it was the boss, everyone's eyes seemed to shine.
Is it okay to be so handsome? Although she secretly coveted her, Ji Yang was married.
So came the sentence, "Our boss is not here today."
"Really?" Li Xin laughed suddenly. That smile made people tremble in the bottom of their hearts, and there was a hint of complacency. He turned around and walked upstairs.
At this time, it was getting dark, and it was too late and it was not safe, so they also came out of the private room.
Ji Yang walked beside them and answered Xu Tao's words, he didn't look like he came from the countryside at all.
During the conversation, sometimes it is very humorous, making people laugh and measured.
"Are you leaving?" Li Xin walked over pretending to be relaxed, and looked at Ye Jiao, "Have you paid the bill yet? We will pay you the money when we go back, and everyone will share it equally."
"No, I told you to join me." Ye Jiao shook her head.
"I just went down to ask about it. People said their boss didn't come today, so don't be brave. It's not easy for you to set up a stall to make money." Li Xin said earnestly, "I just want everyone to get together. Let you secretly pay money."
The rest of the people were stunned and didn't know why.
Seeing that no one answered her, Li Xin sighed again, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have mentioned this, it makes it hard for you to be a human being."
"We're all roommates, there's really no need to be like this."
…
The more they said it, the more outrageous it became. The rest of the people were really shaken, and even looked at Ye Jiao with a guilty expression.
Today's table is certainly not cheap.
"What did you misunderstand?" Ye Jiao's face didn't change, but she said, "Although I really don't like you making random decisions and being a bit self-righteous, we really haven't come out to get together in the dormitory."
"That's a good idea."
One tried his best to read the jokes, and the other was generous, and the gap immediately appeared, making Li Xin very ugly.
At this time, the little girl came over with a bag in her hand, "Brother Yang, pack it."
"Yeah." Ji Yang took it over, "I brought you some pickles pickled by our family, and some tea eggs, just a little treat."
"You can come here often when you have time in the future, so as to increase your popularity."
"This is so embarrassing." Xu Tao and the others became shy. The store is so popular, how can they increase popularity
But the pickles and tea eggs are really delicious.
"We're all a family, so you're welcome." Ji Yang spoke very nicely, and said, "Our Jiaojiao talk a little less, and sometimes it's quieter. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hang out with you, but now I don't worry. Very much."
Got it.
Also praise them.
Not only boasting, but also making people feel envious, how can you be so warm to Ye Jiao
Damn love makes people's hearts flutter.
"Where did your boss go?" Li Xin didn't give up, caught the little girl and raised her voice to ask.
She wants to see how long Ye Jiao can pretend.
"This is our boss." The little girl looked at Ji Yang, looking at her inexplicably.
"You just said that your boss is not here, why do you say that now?" Li Xin was furious, thinking that this group of people were all liars, and he didn't know how much they paid to cooperate with Ye Jiao in acting.
"Aren't you a distinguished guest invited by Sister Jiaojiao? Why doesn't even our boss know him? I still find it strange." The little girl looked at her with doubts on her face.
Li Xin turned pale and looked over, her roommate's eyes were still on her, with a complicated expression on her face.
At that moment, she wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
"It doesn't matter who is the boss, it's just a meal, everyone is happy, it's getting late, I still have a lot of things to do today, but I will send you back home." Ji Yang said casually, letting the two The young man walked back with them.
When he went downstairs, a waiter came to him and said, "Brother Yang, table 03 asked if we could deliver juice, and said he was a regular customer."
"Send it, it's okay." Ji Yang replied casually.
He must be the boss, now it's a stone hammer.
Li Xin's move was even more unreasonable.
Neither of them could understand what she was trying to do, but they didn't answer, because they had a good time chatting with the two boys on the way.
The content made Li Xin even more ashamed.
"Brother Yang is our boss. Although he is young, he is very powerful. Many of the ingredients in our store are made by him."
"Our store is full of exclusive recipes and safe ingredients. You can come and play next time."
"Is it delicious? Let me tell you quietly, we can eat it every day. This is the motivation for me to stay and work in this store."
"Hahaha"
…
After sending them back to school, the two boys returned.
Afterwards, the topic in the dormitory for a long time was about Ji Yang, discussing Ye Jiao's husband secretly, of course the content was more praiseworthy.
The pickles sent by the other party were too appetizing.
But Li Xin's life was not easy. The purpose of that day was obvious, and she was not lovable, so she was isolated in the end.
This is not the worst outcome.
She can still be unrestrained when she has money, so does she need to eat the little snacks and pickles that Ye Jiao brought? She wouldn't even look at it.
It's a pity that the good days didn't last long, and Mr. Li had a cerebral palsy.
Hospitalized directly.
The family's finances suddenly became tense, so Mrs. Li didn't give her any more living expenses, and asked her to spend what Xiao Zhe gave her first.
How could she bear the cost of living cut by half
He could only beat around the bush and ask Xiao Zhe for money, lying and making up reasons in order to ask for more.
Once or twice was okay, but after more, Xiao Zhe was short of money, and Tian Ping also started to quarrel, the family had a small quarrel in two days, and a big quarrel in three days.
Xiao Zhe had some bonuses before, but now the bonuses are less, how can it be enough to rely on salary alone
Mr. Li didn't last long, and passed away after two months in the hospital, which made Mrs. Li also sick.
Li Qian's child was still young, and she was very busy. At first, Li Xin went to the hospital to take care of her, but the successive incidents made her feel bored and very irritable.
I really don't want to care.
Every day I think about how to get more money from Xiao Zhe and maintain my previous life.
It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Xiao Zhe's living expenses for her after the death of Mr. Li turned into ten yuan. The reason is that the salary has been reduced and there is not much money.
What can ten dollars do
Li Xin rushed to Xiao Zhe's house directly, and even grew up with Tian Ping, pulling her hair and slapping her face as hard as she could.
"That's my dad's money, what's the matter with me?"
"You woman, it must be you, it's you!"
Tian Ping seemed weak, and she was not a good person when it came to money and interests, and even used words to stimulate Li Xin.
The other party didn't have any brains, so he slapped the child several times and pushed the child.
This time things got into trouble, Xiao Zhe came back, saw this scene, and slapped Li Xin twice.
Li Xin was stunned.
Crying and jumping off the building.
Tian Ping had blown the pillow wind a long time ago, Xiao Zhe saw it, and feared that he spent so much money to raise a white-eyed wolf.
Only eight yuan a month.
The law only stipulates that it should be given until the age of eighteen, and Li Xin has already exceeded the limit.
If Li Xin doesn't do it, the Li family will cry, how can Li Qian have time to talk to her? She can't protect herself.
"Eight yuan is enough, so save it. Grandma is spending money on medicine now. You are not too young, so be sensible." Li Qian said this, and Li Xin didn't go home for two months. He didn't even go to see Mrs. Li, because she was so angry that she was half dead.
Since then, Li Xin has changed from a person who shows off his wealth in the dormitory to a person who is desperate at the end of the month.
Borrow money from people in the dormitory, and borrow money from people in the class.
The reputation stinks.
In the end, it was unbearable, and they all asked her to pay back the money in front of her, but they ignored her and just refused to pay back.
Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.
Ye Jiao and Ji Yang didn't go back for the Chinese New Year this year. They sent 50 yuan and some New Year's goods back. They wanted to stay here to make money, and they wanted to pay off the remaining debt as soon as possible.
As a result, just after the new year, the last account was paid off.
Ye Jiao was still a little dazed when she kept the accounts. The land of more than 200 square meters and two buildings were the hard work of them who had been in the emperor for less than two years.
"I haven't taken you to meet my dad yet." Ye Jiao said, looking sideways at him, her expression darkened a bit, "Actually, I haven't been there for a long time."
When Father Ye died, Tian Ping only told her after a few months, and she got married not long after.
She is in the country and cannot go back.
"We'll take a look when we go back next year. I also want to see Dad, so he can rest assured that I will take good care of you." Ji Yang held her hand and spoke solemnly.
Ye Jiao's heart warmed up.
"But, is there still no news from Mom?" he asked.
Before the end sound disappeared, her face suddenly changed, she was completely pale, and she didn't even dare to look at him.
"Are you in a bad mood? Then I won't say anything, daughter-in-law don't think too much about it." Ji Yang said quickly and changed the subject.
"No." Ye Jiao tried to force a smile.
She didn't tell Ji Yang that Tian Ping had come to find her many times in private, some to reminisce about the past, or to care about her.
Once, he brought her a scarf, which she wove by herself.
At first she was very happy, and asked about Tian Ping's life, and hoped that she would live better from the bottom of her heart.
But people just complain that they have no money to buy milk powder, no money to buy rice, and soon they will have no money to pay rent.
Life is not easy, and I have to raise a child, Li Xin.
Her hopeful heart just now cooled down, and she didn't even want to tell Ji Yang that she had such a mother.
He is so nice, but she seems to be starting to feel inferior.
"When we save some more money, let's buy this place, okay? If we don't buy high-rise buildings, we'll buy this courtyard house. What do you think?" Ji Yang changed the subject and asked her.
Li Qian's family has moved back to Li's house to take care of Mrs. Li, and they have rented the place here.
"Okay." Ye Jiao also liked it here.
"After we buy it, we can renovate it. A small room can be used as a study for you, filled with medical books. I'll give you a whole desk. When you go in, it will look very cultured. The bathroom can also be remodeled. It's too dark. The field in the east is growing vegetables, and there are a few chairs where you can sit and read a book." Ji Yang described it to her.
"Why do I always want to read, how about you?" She tilted her head.
"I grow vegetables." He said it as a matter of course.
That look brought a picture to her mind. Back then he was so serious about selling bean sprouts for her to go to school.
"You don't grow very well, but I can grow it," she said.
"Then I will distribute spices and make money for you to go to school. You can study for as long as you want, and then you will enter a big hospital." After he finished speaking, he was still a little annoyed, "But daughter-in-law, I don't have the money to build a big hospital for you. That ability."
"What are you talking about?" Ye Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What kind of hospital to build
Don't be afraid of people's jokes!
Ji Yang smiled and leaned over to kiss her.
