Chapter 1303: Sister Xu’s gift
Afternoon.
Vi.
Han Jing took a nap, and Xie Hao returned to school. Dong Xuebing said goodbye to his mother-inw and was about to leave. He knew Han Jing had something to ask him because she did not send Xiao Hao to school and did not return to work. He did not leave immediately. He waited for Han Jing to return to her room before leaving the vi with Xie Jing.
Backyard.
The sun was above them, and they stayed in the shade.
Dong Xuebing sat opposite Xie Jing at the table. What is it, Xiao Jing?
Xie Jing smiled. Nothing My boyfriend came to Beijing.
Oh, Sun Kai is here. Dong Xuebing said. But its not school holidays yet. How did he find time toe?
Xie Jing quickly exined. He did not lose his job. The school you rmended is good. Most of the students moved to the next grade, and the school organized a trip to Beijing for the staff and students to reward them. However, he was too busy to meet me as the teachers needed to care for the students. We only spoke over the phone yesterday.
Dong Xuebing asked. Can he adapt to life there?
Xie Jing replied. He was promoted to a small leader at that school and worked hard. He asked me to thank you and wanted to treat you to dinner.
Sure. You all can decide a time.
Where are you going back?
My workce gave me two months off, and I can ask for one more month.
Ok. We will call you again.
Ah, dont be so formal. We are a family.
No. We must thank you for helping him. He might not even continue to work as a teacher in Beijing, with my parents suppressing him. You saw what happened. I begged many people, and no Beijing schools dared to ept him. Only you helped us.
Dong Xuebing smiled. No problem.
Xie Jing looked at Dong Xuebing. Did my father find trouble with you after that?
No. Dong Xuebingughed. Your parents are not as heartless as you think. Oh, I will not say any more. Just tell Xiao Sun to work hard.
Xie Jing paused for a second. Are you saying my parents agree to our rtionship?
Dong Xuebing quickly waved his hand. I did not say anything.
Xie Guoliang had spoken to Dong Xuebing when thetter went to the Finance Ministry. Dong Xuebing knows Xie Jings parents were not trying to separate her and Sun Kai. This was a test for Sun Kai. Thats why Dong Xuebing did not interfere anymore. After all, this is their familys problem. He helped Sun Kai find a job because of Xie Jing. Xie Jing cried and begged him to help. He gave in and did not care anymore.
All right. You should return to work. Dong Xuebing stood up. Go. I am going home for a nap. I am tired.
Xie Jing nodded and looked at Dong Xuebing. I always wanted to thank you, Brother-inw. I lost my Eldest Aunts Buddha statue, my boyfriend, the car
Dont mention it.
Ok. I want to thank you.
Haha hurry and go back to work.
You are not driving. Let me send you.
No need. We are not going in the same direction. I will take a cab.
It was 1 pm, and Dong Xuebing did not want to disrupt Xie Jings work. He went out and got into a cab.
After 2 pm.
Dong Xuebings old apartment.
Dong Xuebing went straight to bed after entering the apartment. He could smell Xu Yans scent in his bed.
Dong Xuebing fell asleep.
Half an hour
One hour
Dong Xuebing heard knocking sounds when he was sleeping.
Knock knock knock Dong Xuebing woke up and went to open the door. Who is it?
Its me.
Huh? Sister Xu?
Dong Xuebing opened the door and saw Xu Yan.
Sister Xu had returned home to change because she was wearing different clothes.
Dong Xuebing stepped aside to let her enter. He looked at the time. Didnt you say you areing over at night?
Xu Yan entered the apartment and said. I wanted to fetch my son first. But I dont know how to tell Chaochao about his father. So I decided not to see him.
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and asked. What if your son knows
Its fine. Xu Yan sat on the sofa. She ced her bag beside her and waved Dong Xuebing over.
Dong Xuebing sat beside her.
Xu Yan looked at him and patted the back of his hand. Are you still angry with me for scolding you earlier?
Dong Xuebing shook his head. No. I know you scolded me for my good.
Dong Xuebing will never be angry with Xu Yan.
Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing lovingly. I should be thanking you. You are right. I worry and overthink. I dont know what negative impact it has on my son if he knows his father beat me. He is still young, and I dont want this incident to affect him. Thats why I kept it from him. I was keeping all my anger in myself.
Dong Xuebing replied. That guy must be taught a lesson.
Xu Yan squeezed Dong Xuebings hand lightly. I am grateful and touched when you barged into the City Bureau and beat up that guy. Haha but you were too rash. That is the State Security Bureau. I will not forgive myself if anything happens to you. I still must reprimand you. Dont even do such things again.
Dong Xuebing agreed. Ok. I will listen to you.
You are only saying, and you will forget everything when something happens. Xu Yan knows Dong Xuebing too well. She smiled. You brat
Dong Xuebing replied nicely. This was because of you. How can I let others bully me? He deserves it. Dont worry. I will not do anything rash if you are fine. Barging into the State Security Bureau is wrong, but I cannot control my anger after seeing your injuries. I did not tell anyone why I beat him at the Bureau, and Wang Shen will not dare to tell anyone. No one will know, and you can tell Chaochao that I just wanted to find fault with him.
Thank you.
You dont need to be so polite with me.
Xu Yan nced at him and tidied his hair. I did not expect you to do this for me. It was too risky. What if you killed him identally or hit Jiang Song? Your Mother-inw cannot save you if that happened. Have you ever thought that you might lose your job?
Dong Xuebingughed. Its fine. I dont mind losing my job because of taking revenge for you. I can start from scratch again.
Xu Yan was quiet for a while and held Dong Xuebings hand. She kissed the back of his hand.
Dong Xuebing touched his nose and felt awkward. Lets talk about something else. What is in that bag? Is it groceries?
Xu Yanughed. Its a gift for you.
For me? Dong Xuebing blinked. What is it?
Xu Yan opened her bag. It was a few pieces of clothing.
Dong Xuebing smiled. I got lots of clothes. Why are you buying more clothes for me?
You got lots of clothes, but they are not fitting. Xu Yan said. You are too skinny. The clothes you buy are slightly bigger. I want to make a few clothes for you.
Dong Xuebing was surprised. You made these yourself?
Xu Yanughed. What do you think?
Dong Xuebing said. How did you do it? I didnt know you could make clothes yourself. I only know sweaters can be knitted.
What nonsense are you talking about? Where did your clothese from if you cannot make clothes? Xu Yan took out the clothes. I sewed it with a sewing machine and bought the cloth to make it.
You know how to operate a sewing machine?
Most women at my age will know these skills. Our living standards are not as good as now, and we sew most of our clothes. We can barely afford our meals. How can we get money to buy new clothes?
Dong Xuebing said. This is so troublesome. Your work is so busy.
I got some time after work. I saw a colleague has an old sewing machine which she is not using. I took it from her. Xu Yan flicked the shirt and positioned it against Dong Xuebings body. I had not sewed for a few years, but my skills are still good. It looks fitting. Come, try this on and show me. I can alter it if it is not fitting.
Dong Xuebing was touched. This shirt is pricelesspared to those designer brands. Sister Xu made this. She picked the material, cut it, and sew it. These five pieces of clothing should take at least a few months to make.
Sister Xu. Thank you.
Haha try it and see if it fits. However, I cannot change the colors if you dont like it.
I love it.
