Chapter 105

Su Xinghui said, "Xia Zhu, just listen to me. I appreciate your kindness. Isn't it a waste if you order too many dishes and can't finish them? We can't waste it now."

After hearing Su Xinghui's words, Xia Zhu nodded and said, "All right then."

After Zhang Fatty's wife went down, Su Xinghui asked, "Is your father's health better these days?"

Xia Zhu said, "Well, much better. He insists on exercising every day. Thank you, Brother Xinghui. If it weren't for you, I guess my father would have spent his whole life in bed."

Su Xinghui laughed, "All right, all right, every time I see you, I keep hearing you say thank you, thank you. Why are you so polite? Aren't you afraid of being distant if you are too polite?"

Xia Zhu looked at Su Xinghui emotionally and said, "Brother Xinghui, no matter how many thank yous I say to you, it's not enough. You don't know, the help you gave to our family might be just a small effort for you, but for our family, it saved our whole family. Therefore, I must say thank you to you! I must thank you for the rest of my life!"

Looking at Xia Zhu's fiery eyes, Su Xinghui couldn't handle it. He laughed to cover it up, "Fine, thank me if you want."

Xia Zhu lowered her head and asked, "Brother Xinghui, why did you help me like that?"

Su Xinghui said, "I'm not just helping you. Whoever encounters such a situation, I will help if I can. I am a national cadre, and it is my duty to let the common people live a good life."

Xia Zhu seemed a little disappointed with this answer, but she didn't know what to say. Just at this time, Zhang Fatty's wife brought the dishes.

Zhang Fatty stir-fried a green pepper with meat, a stir-fried Chinese cabbage with pork cracklings, and an egg skin and dried shrimp soup for the two. Su Xinghui came here to eat, so he naturally used all his skills. These two dishes were stir-fried quite deliciously, the soup was fresh, and the portion was sufficient, enough for the two to eat.

Su Xinghui said, "Come, Xia Zhu, eat quickly, Boss Zhang's dishes are quite good."

Xia Zhu tasted each of the two dishes and felt they were good. You know, this was the first time in her life that she had eaten stir-fried dishes in a restaurant. Before, she had at most eaten snacks like wontons and noodles in small restaurants.

However, she still said, "Brother Xinghui, I think the dishes you cooked at my house are better."

Su Xinghui laughed, "You like the dishes I cook? Fine, I'll go to your house and cook a meal when I have time."

Xia Zhu said happily, "Okay, but you don't have to buy the dishes. Whenever you go, I will buy the dishes."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay."

Su Xinghui ate two large bowls of rice in a row, and Xia Zhu also ate a large bowl. After eating, she touched her stomach and said, "So full!"

Su Xinghui looked at Xia Zhu with a smile. The little girl's attitude that Xia Zhu showed at this time was really too cute.

Xia Zhu called Zhang Fatty's wife to pay the bill. Zhang Fatty's wife said that this meal was ten yuan. Xia Zhu didn't know that this was already the price Zhang Fatty's wife gave her. Ten yuan was already a significant number for her, but today she was treating Su Xinghui to dinner, so she took out ten yuan from her body and paid the bill very readily.

Su Xinghui nodded to Zhang Fatty's wife, thanking her for her care, and then said to Xia Zhu, "Xia Zhu, you must keep your money well, don't let thieves steal it."

Xia Zhu nodded, "I will be careful."

Su Xinghui asked, "Have you bought clothes for your family? Why don't I accompany you to buy them?"

Xia Zhu said happily, "Okay!"

Su Xinghui accompanied Xia Zhu to the supply and marketing cooperative. There were clothes for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative, but the styles were a bit outdated in Su Xinghui's view. Xia Zhu was dazzled. She rarely bought clothes from childhood to adulthood, especially winter cotton-padded clothes, which were all made for her by her mother.

Although Su Xinghui disliked the outdated styles of the clothes here, there were only clothes for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative at this time. Therefore, he accompanied Xia Zhu to pick out a set of winter clothes that looked better for each of her family members, and wanted to buy a set of winter clothes for herself.

However, Xia Zhu refused to buy clothes for herself. She felt that the clothes here were too expensive, and she could just wear her original cotton-padded clothes.

However, Su Xinghui insisted that Xia Zhu buy a set of clothes for herself. He said, "Xia Zhu, you are so beautiful, you should dress yourself up, otherwise it's really a waste."

Xia Zhu blushed and said, "Am I really beautiful?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Of course, you are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Don't say anything more, you have to buy a set yourself. You have bamboo weaving skills now, so you don't have to worry about not making money. How can a girl not have one or two sets of beautiful clothes?"

Xia Zhu was persuaded by Su Xinghui. Under Su Xinghui's reference, she bought a pink down jacket for herself. She also tried it on. She wore this down jacket, which made Su Xinghui's eyes light up. He didn't expect that this down jacket, which looked quite ordinary hanging on the hanger, would have such a good effect on Xia Zhu. This can only be said that Xia Zhu is a natural clothes hanger.

The salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative usually didn't have a good attitude towards customers, but today Su Xinghui accompanied Xia Zhu to buy clothes, so her attitude became very enthusiastic. Seeing Xia Zhu wearing a down jacket, she smiled and said, "Director Su, your object is really beautiful in this dress!"

The salesperson's words made Xia Zhu blush, but she didn't deny it, but looked at Su Xinghui affectionately, and then lowered her head.

Su Xinghui originally wanted to explain, but he also knew that explaining in front of Xia Zhu would definitely make her very embarrassed, so he didn't say anything.

Su Xinghui said, "Xia Zhu, this dress is really good on you, quite beautiful, so let's buy this one."

Xia Zhu nodded obediently, and then took out money to pay the bill. Buying so many clothes this time cost her more than 200 yuan in total. These money were naturally astronomical figures for her before, but she had received hundreds of rewards in the bamboo weaving factory in these few months, so these money were nothing.

The salesperson helped her find a large snakeskin bag and put all the clothes in it, making it easy for her to carry. Xia Zhu was about to take off the down jacket and put it in, but Su Xinghui stopped her. He asked the salesperson to put the old cotton-padded clothes that Xia Zhu changed into the snakeskin bag and let Xia Zhu wear this new dress.

Xia Zhu naturally wouldn't refute Su Xinghui's suggestion. In fact, she also liked the feeling of wearing this down jacket, which was both light and warm. More importantly, Su Xinghui said she was beautiful in this dress.

Seeing that Xia Zhu had to take so many things, Su Xinghui asked her to wait a while in the supply and marketing cooperative. He ran back to the township government, told Chen Hongfu that he was going out for a while, and then rode a bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He said to Xia Zhu, "Xia Zhu, it's not convenient for you to take so many things, I'll send you back."

Xia Zhu asked, "Didn't you say you were going to write a work report in the afternoon?"

Su Xinghui said, "It's okay, it won't take much time to send you, if it really doesn't work, just work overtime at night, how can you walk with so many things?"

Xia Zhu nodded and said, "Fine, then thank you, Brother Xinghui."

Su Xinghui was about to let Xia Zhu get on the car, but both of them were stunned all of a sudden. It turned out that the clothes of Xia Zhu's family were too many, and the large snakeskin bag was bulging. Xia Zhu couldn't hold it with both hands. If she held this bag, it was completely impossible to sit on the back seat of the bicycle.
