Chapter 93 Stealing Books is Not Stealing

My uncle is finally getting married, and my grandparents have been invited to the United States. This is what the aunt repeatedly asked for. She said that I am getting old, and I will see you once less. Let my grandparents take this opportunity to go to the United States to get together again. I'm afraid that after meeting this time, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again. We've already talked about this, so naturally we have to go.

In fact, apart from my aunt, Grandma Xingye also wants to go, she is not at ease, counting the days, Catherine is five months pregnant, wearing a wedding dress with her stomach on her back, so no matter how busy she is, nothing will happen to her. It's about her golden grandson!
He sent his grandparents to the plane, and even gave Aunt Mei a holiday. Xingye and Jia Kai and Jialuo usually go to school, so why let Aunt Mei stay in an empty room!

On the weekend, Jia Luo went to reunite with his classmates, and Jia Kai and Xing Ye were the only two left. Xing Ye suggested that they should go to the old house to have a look and settle down for lunch. Naturally, Jia Kai had no objection.

"You still know to come, if you say you don't care, you won't even come, you are so relieved!" Zhu Xiaojia complained when she saw Xingye, she hadn't come since the opening.

Xingye laughed and said: "I came here to eat because there is no one at home. If there is something delicious, I will serve it. If there is anything else, you should take care of it. I don't care."

"Hmph, do you want the dividend? You have to look at this account!" Zhu Xiaojia said.

"I'll give you the bank account number, and deposit the dividends in it. The account will be waived. I don't understand." Xingye said lazily.

"You're a petty capitalist, you know how to exploit me, and I'll swallow your dividends, look at you..." Zhu Xiaojia gritted her teeth.

"Damn girl, what are you talking about!" Aunt Mei came in and patted Zhu Xiaojia on the head, and Father Zhu also came in with a smile.

"Xingye, Uncle Zhu will cook for you whatever you want to eat." Father Zhu said with a smile. Now he cooks some big dishes every day, and he has some soup ingredients. He has a lot of money, which was something he never even dared to think about before, and all of this is naturally thanks to Xingye.

"Hello, Uncle Zhu. Sister Xiaojia grits her teeth every time she sees me. It's scary." Xingye acted like a baby on purpose, telling Zhu Xiaojia.

"Okay, Uncle Zhu asked Aunt Mei to take care of her so that she wouldn't dare to bully you again." Father Zhu said with a smile. He also knew that Xingye was joking, so he said it as a joke.

Xingye looked at Zhu Xiaojia with a smile, Zhu Xiaojia glared at her, and said, "There is a row of supporters standing behind her, and I still work for her. Do I dare to bully her?"

"Okay, Lao Zhu is going to prepare meals for Xingye Jiakai, and Xiaojia is going to arrange a room for him." Aunt Mei made the arrangements, she is also the absolute leader in their family!

"Uncle Zhu, I want to eat the crispy rolls with meat stuffing that you made," Xingye did not forget to say to Father Zhu.

"Okay, no problem. There are vegetarian stuffing and fruit stuffing. I've made them for you to try." Father Zhu smiled.

"Okay," Xingye laughed when he heard this.

"After leaving, I will find something to eat, and I have something to tell you!" Zhu Xiaojia took Xingye's arm and walked to the room.

"No, we have to wait until after dinner." Xingye struggled, but Zhu Xiaojia didn't let go.

Aunt Mei and Jia Kai smiled and followed into the room.

"I thought there would be no room, and I'm ready to go to your office for dinner." Xingye said with a smile.

Zhu Xiaojia looked at Xingye's flattering smile, and smiled too, "I haven't seen the design of this room, and I usually don't greet others."

Xingye nodded, this is also her idea, this room is more homely than other rooms, especially the photos hanging on the wall are stills of grandma when she was young, this is what Xingye wants to make up for the regret in her heart , Let this old house retain some memories of grandparents.

Xingye stood up to admire the photo of grandma, and Jiakai also stood up, "I went to the theater to see this play, but when I was young, I couldn't watch it at all, I just wanted to run out."

Xingye sighed softly, "I don't have a chance to listen to it now, maybe grandma won't be able to act in the full version anymore."

Jia Kai knew that she was actually worried about the old lady's health. After experiencing the starry night when her mother fell ill and died, she was very sensitive to this aspect. "There are video tapes at home, and grandpa keeps them! If you want to watch them, you can go back and look for them."

Xingye nodded, looking at these old photos can best evoke people's memories.

"Come on, it's rare for you to come here once to see the business situation of the past few months." Although Xingye said that he didn't need to read the account book, Zhu Xiaojia still took it out and insisted on letting Xingye take a look.

Xingye flipped through it a little, only looked at the final settlement situation, and said with some surprise: "There are so many? It's much more than I thought!"

Zhu Xiaojia smiled, "This business is high-profit, and we don't have rent, so this saves a lot of expenses. If you look at our attendance rate, there are almost no empty seats. It's noon now, and there are fewer people. If There are still people waiting to turn tables at night!"

Xingye was naturally also happy for such a result, but he still said: "Turn the table? No way, Uncle Zhu and the others will be very busy, aren't they all scheduled? If there are too many, we won't do it."

"I know, those who turn over the tables are regular customers. When they came to see if there were no tables, they went out and walked around for two hours and then came back, just to wait for someone to leave, and they said what kind of dishes to eat, depending on the convenience of the chef. How can you do this? I'm ashamed to push him further." Zhu Xiaojia said helplessly.

Hearing what she said, Xingye couldn't hold on to anything anymore, he just said: "Just look at the arrangement, just don't let Uncle Zhu get tired."

Zhu Xiaojia cast an angry look at Xingye, "What's more, we can't receive guests just because there are guests coming. My father has been angry with me several times. He feels distressed when he sees guests leave!"

Xingye understood Zhu's father's mentality, it was all business, and there was no door-to-door business to push it out, and said with a smile: "Then I need sister Jia to enlighten me, this thing is rare and expensive, this time I can't get it , people will think to come earlier next time.”

"That's what I said too," Zhu Xiaojia said, "I think it's getting warmer today, and the flowers and plants in the yard are also in bloom. Can we add some small tables in the yard, so that three or two people can have a drink facing the moon in the yard? It's pretty good too."

It is true that the delicate design of this courtyard is now fully revealed due to the warm weather, which is pleasing to the eye.

"I think it's better to fill in two bamboo tables and rattan chairs in the inner courtyard. There are only two or three people in the evening. If there are many people, it's better to arrange them in the house, otherwise the noisy ones will be on the side of the road." The stall is almost done, let’s forget about people coming and going from the outer court.” Xing Ye said

Zhu Xiaojia smiled, "It's time to think about it with me."

After a while, Father Zhu's dishes came to the table. When Xingye saw that there were some he liked and some he hadn't seen before, he tasted them all, and they were really delicious. He praised: "Uncle Zhu, you are really amazing."

The three members of Zhu's family were happy to see her eating, and they were also happy.

After dinner, they drank tea and chatted. Father Zhu was naturally busy, and Xiao Jia was also called away after a while, so he really couldn't rest at all.

"The thief was caught again." Zhu Xiaojia came in and said.

"Ah..." Xingye and Jiakai were taken aback for a moment. There were thieves stealing things in broad daylight, but luckily they were caught. They quickly asked, "Did you lose something? Have you called the police?"

Seeing their nervousness, Zhu Xiaojia laughed out loud. Her smile made Xingye and Jiakai even more confused about what was going on.

"A thief came into the house, and you are still laughing." Jia Kai asked puzzled.

Zhu Xiaojia stopped laughing, cast a blank look at Xingye and said, "Isn't it all because of you!"

"Oh, I didn't do anything!" Xingye's eyes widened, "Miss Jia, don't be fooled, you don't look angry, what's going on?"

"Isn't it your books? Uncle Yu's friend is addicted. He often brings people to eat. He doesn't drink alcohol. Every time he comes, he just reads the book and wants to take it away several times. I He didn't agree, so he hid it secretly. You said that he is still a professor at such an old age. What can we say, we can only ask the waiter in charge of that room to pay more attention. out." Zhu Xiaojia said with a smile.

Jia Kai also laughed, "Kong Yiji said, did this scholar steal books? That can't be called 'stealing'."

Xingye was afraid that he would embarrass that person, after all, he was my uncle's friend, "Then let him choose what books he likes, and order a batch of them, anyway, they are not genuine, but some are rare in the world, and the content is not the same Yes, this is a person who really loves books, don't make things difficult for him."

Zhu Xiaojia nodded, "This is a good way, I'll tell him later, so that he won't worry about it every day, but there are more enjoyable things than this!"

"What?" Xingye was also aroused curiosity.

"There was a customer who had to go to the painting pavilion several times in a row. Later, he came to me and wanted to buy the Bada Shanren's "Lotus and Fish Joy" hanging on our wall." Zhu Xiaojia said.

Xingye smiled, "That's fake, he won't take it seriously."

"I said it could be imitated, but he still didn't believe it. He insisted that he would buy it regardless of whether it was true or not. Later, I heard from his friend that this person was born with a real painting when he picked up the leak, so he paid special attention to it. Well, in the end I had no choice but to introduce him to the antique shop of the Lin family. You said it was funny. People don’t believe you when you tell the truth these days. If you ask him for 20. It's gone." Zhu Xiaojia laughed.

"You have to pay attention to this. He bought fakes in an antique shop. It's because of his poor eyesight. The antique shop can also be said to have collected them as genuine ones. We can't do this. We know that they are all fake, and then sell them to him. It's a scam, you can't be greedy for this money!" Xing Ye frowned and warned.

"I know, that's why I introduced him directly to the Lin family's store? We can't stop him from being taken advantage of!" Zhu Xiaojia said, thinking about it and then laughing, "I'm afraid that if he becomes the Lin family, he will even give me a commission." Well, Bai helped them introduce customers, it’s still such a fool.”

Xingye knew that she was joking, so she thought about it and said, "I have to tell all the staff here."

"I told them that none of this is true. They all know it. Don't worry, they won't take it as a real theft." Zhu Xiaojia said.

Xingye shook his head and said earnestly: "It's not because they are afraid that they will steal it as the real thing, but because they see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, knowing that it is a fake, and going out to deceive people, if anything happens, even if it is not our responsibility , we will suffer more or less."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiaojia also felt that it made sense, and said, "Okay, I'll beat them up later, and don't cause trouble for us."

"Also" Xingye warned again, "Things are not worth anything, don't get too rigid with people over these things, let me just say that they are all imitations, just push out what you want just like last time, It explained that we are a restaurant that doesn’t do business, if it doesn’t work, just give it to him, remember it’s a gift, you can’t ask for a penny.”

Seeing Xingye's seriousness, Zhu Xiaojia quickly agreed, Xingye sighed, she only wanted the effect at first, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen!

After coming out of the old house, Xingye dragged Jiakai along without taking a car, and strolling on the street was considered a walk.

After walking two streets in a row, Xingye stopped at the door of a real estate agency to look at the listing advertisements they posted.

Jia Kai found that Xingye was very concerned about the advertisements posted on the roadside for the transfer or sale of houses, and asked in puzzlement, "What are you looking at? You don't want to buy a house, do you?"

"Oh, isn't Huiye coming out soon? I want him to come to Tianyun City." Xingye replied, she has been thinking about this these days!
Jia Kai nodded, there was no one in Hui Ye's house anymore, Xing Ye was here, he would definitely come here, "That's natural, there is still someone to take care of here, do you want to help him find a house?"

Xingye nodded, but sighed again, and slowly said: "I understand Huiye's temper, and he is also stubborn. I am afraid that he will not come or accept my help. I am also very contradictory, just like this If I bought the house, he might not come to live in it at all, and maybe hide away far away."

Jia Kai understands that Xingye's concerns are very reasonable, and after two short contacts with Huiye, he can still feel that he is a man who is self-reliant and self-disciplined, with a strong sense of self-esteem. If his sister repays him, he will find it difficult to accept.

In fact, even if it was me and asked my sister to give me money, I would not be happy, and I would feel very embarrassed.

"How about this, we can find him a job first, and then you can ask his place of work to come forward to solve the problem of accommodation, and he will be more accepting." Jia Kai suggested.

Xingye's eyes lit up, this is a good way, he can not let Huiye know that he is helping him, and he can accept it, first build him self-confidence, and then slowly develop.

"That's a good idea, but what kind of job are we looking for? We need someone we can rely on, who is willing to help us." Xingye thought hard, as if he was only focused on going to school, and didn't make any useful friends at all.

"You don't have to worry about it, I can still do this." Jia Kai promised.

Xingye nodded, this matter is really not difficult for Jiakai, if it doesn't work, she can ask her aunt for help, she must have a way, but there is no need to alarm uncle and grandpa.

"Now that the problem is solved, can we go by car? My feet are sore from walking," Jia Kai said with a bitter face.

Xingye smiled, "Walking more will make you healthier. Now you are following Junjie Lin's example and using a car to travel all day. It's not good. It's good to have the opportunity to walk more."

Jia Kai sighed, but seeing Xingye was already walking towards the bus platform, he realized that he was teasing her and him.
