Chapter 367: Xiao Jin Is Cute
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the Dan River Cow Farm, a skinny young man and the blind Grandma watched as the calves were moved down from the truck.
Shi Xiaojin supported his grandma and said excitedly, “Grandma, Grandma, there are so many calves. There are so many calves. They’re only half a year old.”
Shi Xiajin’s grandma patted the back of his hand and said with a smile, “Xiaojin, since the calves are here, you have to work hard in the future and take good care of these cows. We can’t forget the Shi family’s kindness!”
Shi Xiaojin nodded and replied, “Yes, Grandma, I’ve always remembered!”
Shi Xiajin’s grandma sighed softly and said, “Sigh, it’s Grandma’s fault for implicating you!”
Shi Xiaojin shook his head and said, “Grandma, you can’t think that way. You’re my only family. As long as you’re around, I’m happy.”
Shi Xiaojin had been obedient and sensible since he was young. He knew very well that his family’s situation was different from those of other families.
…..
Shi Xiaojin’s grandma smiled and said, “Our family finally has something to look forward to. Work hard for a few years, save some money, and marry a wife.”Shi Xiao Jin’s Grandma
Shi Xiaojin touched his head and said shyly, “Grandma, I’m still young. We ll talk about getting married in a few years.”
He knew very well that with his family’s situation, very few families would be willing to marry their daughter to him.
Besides, he was only 18 years old. There were still a few years before he reached the legal age of marriage.
“How are you young? In two years, you’ll be 20 years old. Back then, when Grandma was 20 years old, your father was already running around.” Shi Xiajin’s grandma smiled and said, “Although our family is a little poor, our Xiao Jin is a diligent and filial child. Your life will definitely get better in the future. There will definitely be girls with good taste who will marry you.”
Shi Xiajin’s grandma looked at the small house in front of her with dull eyes.
This small house was for the two of them to live in.
There were two rooms and a living room. After the renovation was done and the furniture was complete, they moved in with their bags.
A new house to live in!
Shi Xiajin’s grandma knew very well that Lai Jiaoying’s family had specially taken care of them.
Shi Lichun asked Shi Xiaojin to look after the cows. In the beginning, his monthly salary was 1,500 dollars. In the future, his salary would gradually increase.
However, Shi Xiaojin’s grandma had to be taken care of, so it was better for the two of them to live together in the cattle farm.
Although Shi Xiaojin’s grandma was blind, she could manage with a simple daily life.
The two of them relied on each other and could care for each other.
When Shi Hangyu came knocking on their door and asked Shi Xiaojin to herd cows, theShi Xiaojin and his grandma felt that fortune had landed on their laps.
Many people in Stoneback Village had their eyes on this task, but they did not expect it to fall on Shi Xiaojin.
Shi Xiaojin and his grandma knew very well that their family had specially taken care of them, but they could not refuse.
This was because they needed to live. They needed to rely on their own hands to earn money, marry a wife for Shi Xiaojin, and have another child. Only then would this family be like a real home.
The calves were transported over in a large truck, and many villagers followed to watch the commotion.
When they saw Shi Xiaojin and his grandma, their eyes were filled with envy.
After all, they were just looking at cows. Their monthly salary was 1,500 dollars, and they even had food and accommodation.
Of course, although the villagers were envious, no one really wanted to snatch this matter.
When Grandma Shi saw Shi Xiaojin’s grandma, she smiled and asked, “Chunjiao, can you and Xiaojin get used to living in this house?”
Shi Xiao Jin’s grandma nodded and said, “Yes, very good! Jiaoying, it’s been hard on your family to think of me and Xiaojin!”
Grandma Shi said, “We watched Xiaojin grow up. He’s sensible and diligent. That’s why we thought of hiring him to work.”
However, Shi Xiaojin’s grandma still said gratefully, “Jiaoying, if this child does anything wrong in the future, I hope you can bear with it!”
Grandma Shi laughed and said, “Haha, look at what you’re saying. It’s just watching the calves. What can this child do? Don’t think too much about it. This place isn’t far from the village. If you’re not used to living here, go back to the village and have a chat.”
Dan River was only a few minutes away from the village.
However, Shi Xiaojin’s grandma was weak. It was not easy to for her walk around.
Of course, if Shi Xiajin’s grandma wanted to return to the village, she could get Shi Xiaojin to send her over.
Shi Xiaojin’s grandma smiled and said, “It’s quite good for me to live here. Although I can’t see, Xiaojin bought me a tape recorder. I listen to operas every day, and time passes quickly.”
Since Xiaojin had accepted the task of looking after the cows, he had to do his best. He could not leave without permission, even if it was just for a few minutes.
What if those thieves took advantage of these few minutes to cause trouble and the cows were lost? His family could not afford to compensate.
With the two of them on the farm, as long as one of them was busy, the other could watch.
Although Shi Xiaojin’s grandma was blind, her ears were especially sensitive. She could hear anything.
Grandma Shi looked at Shi Xiaojin and said very seriously, “Xiaojin, you have to take good care of your Grandma.”
Shi Xiaojin nodded and said, “Yes, yes, Second Grandma, I will.”
Gu Qingming had heard about Shi Xiaojin’s family a long time ago.
Shi Xiaojin’s age was not much different from hers. When she came to the village, her brothers would bring her to play with Shi Xiaojin.
However, Shi Xiaojin was very busy every time. He was busy picking up bottles and jars and going to the fields to pick herbs. He rarely played with them.
As time passed, she still remembered Shi Xiaojin.
After coming to Stoneback Village for nearly a year, she had been thinking about how to help them.
If she were to give money directly, it would definitely not work.
Not only would this make people jealous, but it would also make people develop a bad habit of reaping without working.
Now that they had cows at home, they could finally help them a little.
When Shi Xiaojin met Gu Qingming’s gaze, he immediately became nervous.
He stuttered, “Sister… Sister Gu!”
He was shy when he faced Gu Qingming; it was mainly because Gu Qingming had given him the impression that she was like a little princess on television, being cute and beautiful. And he was tanned and small, so he could not help but feel inferior.
In addition, Gu Qingming’s aura was a little fierce and domineering to Shi Xiaojin.
Gu Qingming said in amusement, “Xiaojin, every time you see me, you become a coward. Could it be that I’ll eat you up?”
Shi Xiaojin touched his head and said shyly, “No… No. It’s just that Sister Gu is too beautiful. 1… I don’t dare to talk to you!”
The onlookers and Gu Qingming herself were speechless.
This child was really honest and adorable.
Shi Xiaojin’s grandma patted her grandson’s head and said with a smile, “Even if your Sister Gu is beautiful, she doesn’t eat humans. What are you afraid of?”
She turned around and said to Gu Qingming with a smile, “Little Gu, don’t hold it against Xiaojin. He’s been timid when he sees girls since he was young.”
Gu Qingming couldn’t help but laugh.. “Hehe, Grandma Shi, Xiao Jin’s personality is very cute!”
