Chapter 187

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 may be just a small effort for you, but for our family, it saved our whole family, so I must say thank you to you! I must thank you for the rest of my life!"

Looking at Xia Zhu's hot eyes, Su Xinghui couldn't stand it. He covered up and smiled, "Alright, 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 state 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 then, Zhang Pangzi's wife served the dishes.

Zhang Pangzi stir-fried a green pepper with meat, a stir-fried Chinese cabbage with lard residue, and an egg skin and dried shrimp soup for the two. Su Xinghui came here to eat, so he naturally tried his best. 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 it was good. You know, this was the first time in her life that she had eaten stir-fried dishes in a restaurant. Before, she had eaten snacks like wontons and noodles in small restaurants at most.

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

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

Xia Zhu said happily, "Alright, but you don't need to buy vegetables, I will buy the vegetables when you go."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "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 shown by Xia Zhu at this time was really too cute.

Xia Zhu called Zhang Pangzi's wife to check out. Zhang Pangzi's wife said that this meal was ten yuan. Xia Zhu didn't know that this was already the price Zhang Pangzi's wife took care of her. Ten yuan was already a considerable 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 happily.

Su Xinghui nodded to Zhang Pangzi's wife to thank her for her care, and then said to Xia Zhu, "Xia Zhu, you must keep your money well, don't be stolen by thieves."

Xia Zhu nodded and said, "I will be careful."

Su Xinghui asked, "Have you bought clothes for your family? Or should I accompany you to buy them?"

Xia Zhu said happily, "Alright!"

Su Xinghui accompanied Xia Zhu to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative had clothes for sale, 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 by her mother for her.

Although Su Xinghui disliked the outdated styles of the clothes here, only the supply and marketing cooperative had clothes for sale at this time.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

But 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 also dress yourself up, otherwise it is really too wasteful."

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

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Of course, you are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Don't say 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 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 shine. 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 of the supply and marketing cooperative usually didn't have a good attitude towards customers, but today Su Xinghui accompanied Xia Zhu to buy clothes, and her attitude became very enthusiastic. Seeing Xia Zhu wearing the down jacket, she smiled and said, "Director Su, your partner 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 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 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. These money were of course astronomical figures for her before, but she had received several hundred yuan in the bamboo weaving factory in the past few months, so these money were nothing.

The salesperson helped her find a large snake skin bag and put those 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 Xia Zhu's old cotton-padded clothes into the snake skin bag and let Xia Zhu wear this new dress.

Xia Zhu naturally would not refute Su Xinghui's suggestion. In fact, she also liked the feeling of wearing this down jacket, light and warm, and 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 at 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 will send you back."

Xia Zhu asked, "Didn't you say you want 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, "Alright, then thank you, Brother Xinghui."

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