Seeing that the couple were satisfied with the house, Qu Lianjie felt very happy and smiled at the two of them:
"Brother Shunzi, sister-in-law, you guys need to rest at home for a few days and have fun in the city, and then go to work!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Hong directly rejected Qu Lianjie's proposal without waiting for her husband to express his position:
"That won't work. When I came to the store just now, I saw that everyone had already gone to work and was quite busy. Your brother and I didn't rest any more. We simply cleaned up and we'll be there soon!"
How could Qu Lianjie go to work as soon as he arrived? He shook his head and said:
"How can that be done? My dad also said he wanted to treat you to dinner. He has already gone to find a restaurant. Besides, it's our first time here, so you guys have to buy some daily necessities~"
Qu Lianshun, who had been silent at this time, interrupted:
"Don't bother Uncle Big Head. He's quite busy too. I think there's gas and everything here. Just ask your sister-in-law to cook some food and eat something at home~"
Qi Hong also echoed:
"Yes Lianjie, your brother Shunzi is right~"
Just as Qu Lianjie was about to say something more, he heard the phone ringing. He picked up the phone and saw that it was his father, and pressed the connect button:
"Hey, dad~"
Qu Datou was currently in a private room of a relatively high-end hotel, sitting on a chair and talking to the phone:
"Take Shunzi and the others to XX Hotel. We'll have lunch here today. Do you know the address?"
"I know, I'll take them there right away~" After that, he hung up the phone.
Putting away his mobile phone, Qu Lianjie looked at the two of them and said:
"Brother Shunzi, sister-in-law, my dad's phone number, he has arrived at the restaurant, let's go have something to eat~"
"Then it's troublesome for Uncle Bighead~" Qu Lianshun and his wife looked at each other and felt that it would be a bit bad if they didn't go.
After eating, Qu Datou went home first. Before getting in the car, he specifically told Qu Lianjie to make sure to go home later.
"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely go back later~"
After Qu Lianjie waited for his father to leave, he drove Qu Lianshun and his wife to a large supermarket near where they lived to buy various things.
From sheets and quilts to needles and thread, I bought almost everything I could use in daily life!
After the purchase, when the cashier finished the calculation, Qu Lianjie took out his wallet and was about to pay. Qu Lian quickly stopped Qu Lianjie and refused with a serious expression:
"Lian Jie, we have already caused you a lot of trouble by coming here this time. We must spend this money ourselves, otherwise your sister-in-law and I won't be able to sleep well!"
Qi Hong also reacted, quickly stepped forward to hold Qu Lianjie, and echoed:
"Your brother is right, we must spend this money ourselves~"
Seeing how insistent the two of them were, Qu Lianjie looked down at the items in the shopping cart and said with a headache:
"How about changing some?"
Because Qu Lianjie originally planned to pay the bill himself, so he chose the best things. Now the total cost of all the things is two thousand, which can be regarded as a good intention but a bad thing.
Qi Hong also noticed the embarrassment on Qu Lianjie's face when he heard this. Although he felt sorry for the money, he still pretended to be free and easy and said:
"It's okay Lianjie, just buy it and what else can you exchange for~"
Then he turned to his husband and said:
"Husband, go and settle the bill!"
"Okay~" Qu Lianshun said and took out his wallet to check out.
After walking out of the supermarket, Qu Lianjie drove the couple back to their rental community, then declined their invitation to sit there and drove directly to the Qu family villa.
After Qu Lianshun waited for the car to completely disappear, he said to his wife beside him:
"Let's go up too~"
"Yeah~" Qi Hong nodded, and then the couple took the elevator upstairs.
In the elevator, because there were no outsiders, Qi Hong looked down at the things in the two hands and said with a distressed expression:
"We should have stopped Lian Jie when he took it from the beginning. Who would have thought that a small sheet and quilt could be so expensive? Everything together cost me almost a month's salary!"
Although Qu Lianshun was also distressed, he still comforted his wife beside him:
"It's okay. Lian Jie also means well. He probably wants to pay for it, so the ones he chooses are all of good quality and must be more expensive~"
"We owe a lot of favors this time. Lianjie found us a job and a house. We have to work hard in the future~" Qi Hong said with emotion after hearing what her husband said.
After listening to his wife's words, Qu Lianshun said with a grateful face:
"Yes, Uncle Big Head spent a lot of money treating us to dinner. When we were leaving the restaurant, I asked quietly, how much do you think it cost?"
"How much?" Qi Hong was curious.
At this time, the elevator arrived. Qu Lianshun walked down with his things and said:
"Two months' salary for you~"
…
Not to mention how Qi Hong felt distressed knowing that the meal cost so much money, Qu Lianjie also drove back to Qu's house.
After parking the car, he walked directly in. Passing by the kitchen, he greeted Xu Li who was busy inside and said New Year's greetings politely:
"Happy New Year, Aunt Xu~"
"Happy Chinese New Year, have Shunzi and the others made arrangements? Your dad, too, should bring them home for a meal!" Xu Li turned around and said politely with a smile.
Of course Qu Lianjie knew that she was just being polite, so he didn't answer the question and simply responded:
"Everything has been settled~"
Then he walked to the living room and said hello to his father sitting on the sofa: "Dad~"
Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting beside me, also paid New Year greetings:
"Happy New Year, Xiaoxiao~"
Qu Xiaoxiao had been feeling angry during this new year and ignored her brother's New Year greetings.
"Well, have Shunzi and the others settled down?" Qu Datou first glared at his rude daughter, and then asked his son.
Qu Lianjie ignored Qu Xiaoxiao's attitude, walked over and sat on the sofa, picked up an apple from the coffee table, and answered vaguely while eating:
"They are all settled. I originally planned to let them rest for a few days before going to work, but Sister-in-law Qi Hong has to go there tomorrow~"
Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting aside and heard them talking about things in their hometown, became even more angry. So when she looked up, she also forgot about what happened in the hotel last time and couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"Oh, my brother is really rare. He actually knows how to help people in his hometown. This is so unlike you!"
Qu Lianjie frowned when he heard this and put down the half-eaten apple. He was about to have an attack, but when he thought that today was the fifth day of the lunar month and it was the new year before the first lunar month, he didn't care.
When Qu Datou heard his daughter's words, his face changed slightly, but thinking that his daughter had indeed been wronged these days, he didn't say much.
Qu Xiaoxiao talked endlessly. Seeing that her brother remained silent, she continued to sarcastically say:
"I heard before that you didn't even get out of the car when you came home a few years ago. This time, the changes have been too big. It's true that a prodigal can't exchange for gold!"
Seeing that she was going too far, Qu Lianjie couldn't bear it anymore and turned to scold her:
"If you can't speak, just don't speak. No one will treat you as a mute. The scar will heal and you will forget the pain, right? Did I give you a face? Did you think I was afraid of you when I didn't speak just now?"
"You..." Qu Xiaoxiao didn't expect him to speak so rudely, and she was speechless for a moment.
Qu Lianjie didn't spoil her either:
"I've told you before, I'll think twice before speaking again. No one in society will tolerate you, Miss Qu~"
Qu Datou frowned and said:
"Lianjie, it's too much. Your sister is still young after all~"
