With Xia Hai leading the way, the two of them rushed toward the factory. On the way, they saw the occasional bicycle and tricycle passing by.
Xia Wan noticed that Xia Hails face was also filled with envy.
“Dad, why don’t I buy you a tricycle and a bicycle for my brother? That way, it’ll be more convenient for you to go out,” Xia Wan suddenly said.
Xia Hai, who was enjoying the scenery around him, was stunned. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, how can I do that? It’s not easy for you to earn. It’s one thing that I didn’t help you, but how can I spend your money like that?”
As he said that, he moved his wrist. “My wrist is almost healed now. I’m going to go out to find work.”
Xia Wan did not agree with Xia Hail s decision to go to work. Even though I was working hard, earning 300 yuan a month was considered a lot.
Instead of working hard and earning so little, he might as well help his family sell clothes.
She had talked to Xia Hai about this before, but he never thought that he had the talent to sell clothes. He felt that joining them wouldn’t increase the sales of the clothes, and he might as well find another job.
Now, their clothes sales were much slower than before. Sometimes, only a dozen pieces could be sold in a day, and sometimes, the stall was very idle.
Yan Han must have mentioned this to Xia Hai, which was why he wanted to find other work.
In the minds of the older generation, starting their own business could make them more money, but they had to bear the risks themselves, and their income was unstable.
Compared to these, they preferred to work for others and get a fixed salary every month. At least it was stable.
Xia Wan didn’t try to persuade him. She continued to follow Xia Hai to the factory. The two of them walked for another five minutes before they ran into Liu Guang, who was riding a tricycle. Liu Hua was riding beside him.
Seeing Xia Wan, Liu Hua greeted her excitedly. “Sister Xiawan, Mr. Xia.” Xia Wan and Xia Hai stopped in their tracks.
Liu Guang smiled and said to Xia Wan, “It’s all thanks to you for helping my family draw last time. She’s been taking the medicine you prescribed, and she looks much better now.”
Xia Wan could also see that Liu Hua looked more energetic than before. Her face was also way rosier.
She smiled and replied, “Mr. Xia, what are you saying? I got pushed into the river before. If it weren’t for you, I would have been really sick, even if I was still alive. Compared to your kindness, what I’ve done is not worth mentioning.”
Liu Guang laughed. “Haha, alright, let’s not talk about this. We’re all neighbors, so it’s only right that we help each other. Where are you going? I’ll bring you there.”
“No,” Xia Hai said hurriedly. “You must have something to do in the county. We shouldn’t be holding you back.”
Liu Hua took out the notebook from his bag and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that school is about to start, so I asked Dad to bring me to the county to buy some stationery.”
With Liu Hua’s reminder, Xia Wan remembered that school was about to start.
Xia Hai reacted quickly as well. He looked at Xia Wan and asked, “Wanwan, have you bought all your stationery?”
Xia Wan shook her head. “Not yet.”
Liu Guang immediately said, “Let’s go. I will bring you to buy it.”
“There’s no need. I’m in no hurry to buy stationery. I’ll bring my brother, Xia Feng, with me later and buy ours together. We’re just about to head into the factory to take a look. Since you mentioned it, perhaps you could bring us there.”
Xia Wan and Xia Hai got into Liu Guang’s tricycle.
In this era, there was a lot of space in a tricycle. It could easily fit three adults, not to mention that Xia Wan and Liu Hua were thin, and they did not take up much space.
On the way, Xia Hai chatted with Liu Guang, while Liu Hua began a lively conversation with Xia Wan.
“Wanwan, didn’t you hear? Your house was very lively yesterday.” Liu Hua was so excited that her eyebrows were flying.
Xia Wan reacted. Liu Hua was probably talking about Li Jin and the others.
Last night, Song Yan didn’t find her when she came over. She guessed that Song Yan would definitely make a scene again when she got home. She was still a little curious, so she asked, “Why are they so lively? Did you find Xia Ru?”
“Xia Ru couldn’t be found. Early this morning, no one in your family cooked. Song Yan said that it was Chen Lian’s turn to cook today, and Chen Lian said that it was her turn to cook. Neither of them allowed it, but even when Xia Jiang and Xia He were about to go to work, neither of them cooked..”
