On the other side.
Wang Xiaochuan had been thinking about how Xu Jinyan had spent a lot of money to buy a jar of mutton. The next morning, he went to the village committee director and asked the village to give Xu Jinyan more quotas.
Coincidentally, Old Guo bumped into him.
When he found out that Xu Jinyan had spent a few yuan to buy ten catties of mutton, Old Guo called him a prodigal.
Halfway there, Old Guo stopped Wang Xiaochuan and asked Xu Jinyan if it was true that he had spent a lot of money to buy meat.
Wang Xiaochuan did not hide anything and told Old Guo the entire process. Old Guo frowned after hearing it.
"Sigh! Xiao Xu was good at everything, but he didn't know how to live! She was still young and didn't know the importance of saving money!”
Then, he said to Wang Xiaochuan," Are you going to look for Xiao Xu? You don't have to go! I'll go on your behalf!"
Wang Xiaochuan didn't have any objections. It was just a notification. It didn't matter who went. He was just puzzled and asked.
"Uncle Guo, why are you looking for Xiao Xu?”
Old Guo was also a warm-hearted person. How could he let Xu Jinyan squander?
"I'll go talk to Xiao Xu. This child is young and his parents aren't by his side. He doesn't know how to plan many things.”
If he did not treat Xu Jinyan as one of his own, Old Guo would not have done this.
After all, he wouldn't be defeated.
Wang Xiaochuan understood that Old Guo was just showing concern for the young man as an elder.
This was his personality.
Other than being a little annoying at times, it was nothing much.
Wang Xiaochuan nodded.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Guo.”
Old Guo waved his hand and strode away.
When she arrived at Xu Jinyan's house, she found him making furniture.
Xu Jinyan had specially paid someone to drag the wood from the nearby mountains. They were all good wood. When he got close to them, he could smell a special fragrance.
This kind of good wood would be expensive in modern times, but in this era, as long as one could afford a carriage, they could have as much as they wanted.
Xu Jinyan only spent a few yuan to get someone to drag a yard full of wood over.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw that it was Old Guo. He wiped the sweat on his face with the white towel on his neck and asked curiously.
"Old Guo? Why are you here?"
Old Guo walked over and looked at the wood in the courtyard and the furniture that was about to be formed. He praised.
"Xiao Xu knows how to make furniture? Aiyo, this style is really not bad!"
Although it was a little rough, it did look like it.
Xu Jinyan smiled and said," I'm just fooling around! Old Guo, sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea!"
As he spoke, he poured some tea.
The style of the furniture was made according to the style he liked in modern times. It was in line with his aesthetic. It was beautiful, convenient, and practical.
No one in this era had ever seen such a fashionable style. No wonder Old Guo was so impressed.
At this moment, Old Guo was sizing up Xu Jinyan in his heart and nodding to himself.
This Xiao Xu was indeed not bad. At such a young age, whether it was receiving people, treating things, or other aspects, he was well-rounded. The key was that he liked to do everything himself.
After Xu Jinyan poured him a cup of tea, he said,"
"Xiao Xu, I heard that you spent a few yuan to buy a can of mutton?”
Xu Jinyan did not understand, but he still nodded and said," Yes, I don't have any meat tickets on me. I wanted to eat meat, so I bought a few pounds of meat. What's wrong?"”
Unexpectedly, Old Guo suddenly became excited.
"It's not that I want to criticize you, Xiao Xu, but you can't spend money like this. You have to save money at your age! Otherwise, how are we going to get a wife in the future!"
Xu Jinyan thought that he was still young. He was only eighteen years old. In modern times, he was still a senior who had just graduated from high school. There was no need for him to think about marrying a wife.
"Why would I want that? I don't need to think about marrying a wife now.”
However, when these words reached Old Guo's ears, the taste immediately changed. He sighed.
"Sigh, Xiao Xu, I know that you don't want to hold up the girl's side because you don't have a good background, but you can't give up on yourself.”
Then, she tried to persuade Xu Jinyan." As long as you save up a little more money, there will still be good girls who will marry you!”
Xu Jinyan knew that Old Guo had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"No, Uncle Guo. I mean, I'm still young. I don't have to get married so early. Let's wait a few years.”
When Old Guo heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself that as long as Xiao Xu did not give up on himself, it would be fine. As long as he did not give up on himself, he could still live his life.
Old Guo thought that it was not a good thing for Xu Jinyan to spend so much money now. Perhaps he would be able to take care of the family after he got married. That way, he could live in peace.
Hence, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"So what if I'm eighteen? There are plenty of sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people on the ranch who have families. You're already considered late.”
People of this generation generally got married very early, but Xu Jinyan did not want to get married without knowing the other party's personality, so he rejected him directly.
Old Guo was still unwilling to give up.
"Then, Xiao Xu, is there anyone you like in the village or among the group of educated youths? If there are, I'll help you set them up."
Then, he added," Don't underestimate your Uncle Guo. I have some reputation in the village. Those young girls will still come to see you on account of me.”
Seeing that Old Guo was getting more and more ridiculous, Xu Jinyan quickly interrupted him.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really too young. I don't want to get married yet. I'll find Uncle Guo to introduce me to someone in a few years.”
There were indeed a few female educated youths who were good-looking, but he did not have much contact with them and did not know their personalities well, so he did not have any thoughts in his heart.
Old Guo heard Xu Jinyan's firm words and could only compromise temporarily.
"Alright then, but you're not young anymore. In a few years, you'll regret it. Those good girls have all been picked by others!”
As he spoke, he stood up, shook his head, and left.
Xu Jinyan shrugged helplessly and continued to make furniture.
When these things were done, the small cottage was finally not empty.
