Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

With three people helping with the move, it went quite quickly.

Grandma Liu and her family have moved away, taking only their personal belongings, a bed, and a wardrobe they bought a couple of years ago; they left all the old furniture behind.

They moved into a new apartment building and replaced all the furniture in the house with new ones because their grandson was bringing his girlfriend home.

Bai Zhenzhu helped Xia He clean the entire house again.

"Sister Xiahe, you can start cooking as soon as you add a set of pots and pans. You don't need anything. That's great."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xia Jun came in from outside.

He was carrying two basins, each containing a pot, and the pots contained bowls, plates, chopsticks, knives, spatulas, and the like.

"Sis, I bought these for you at the market. Take a look at the patterns on these bowls and see if you like them. If you don't, I'll get you a replacement."

Xia He's expression was strange; she looked angry, but her eyes were red.

"Why did you buy me all this? How are you going to explain spending so much money on this to her?"

Xia Jun smiled awkwardly:

"No, I don't have much money. I'm useless and can't do anything for you."

He lowered his head and put the things into the kitchen.

After coming out, she seemed a little lost and said:

"Luckily, it's not far away. If anything happens, just call me when you get home."

Xia He turned her face to the side, her voice slightly choked:

"Is that still my home?"

Xia Jun panicked:

"Of course it is! As long as Mom and I are still here, that place will always be your home."

"It's all my fault for being incompetent. Don't worry, once I make a lot of money, I'll buy a big house and reserve a room just for you."

"Sister, don't blame your sister-in-law."

Xia He's chest heaved violently as she held back her tears.

Seeing that Xia He wasn't looking at him, Xia Jun walked away, feeling awkward and dejected.

Bai Zhenzhu closed the door and went to get a towel for Xia He.

Xia He took the towel and wiped her face haphazardly, stubbornly saying:

"I am fine."

"I didn't cry, some food debris got into my eyes while I was working, but it's fine now."

Bai Zhenzhu felt both distressed and amused at the same time.

Grandma Liu's house had an old wardrobe, and Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He moved it to the sunny master bedroom.

Xia He had composed herself and urged:

"Go back and mind the shop first. After you close up, invite your older brothers over for a chat. Come to my place for dinner tonight, and I'll treat you."

Bai Zhenzhu quickly said:

"Don't bring too much. My eldest and second eldest brothers probably won't come. I'll bring Shuo Shuo instead."

Xia He was, after all, Bai Zhenzhu's friend, so Bai Chengxiang and Xu Yin felt embarrassed to join in the fun.

Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang were even less likely to come, as they had to open for business in the evening.

Xia He didn't force it:

"Then you should call her Sister Yue Shu."

The white pearl did not refuse; Li Yueshu was more familiar with Xia He.

Back at the market, Bai Zhenzhu first went to buy fabric and made four sets of curtains.

When it was almost time, she closed the door, took Li Yueshu and Shuoshuo to get the curtains first, and then went to Xiahe Store.

Wen Fengqin was just about to close the door when she saw Bai Zhenzhu coming over. She locked the door and went to Xia He's place with Bai Zhenzhu.

Xia He had already prepared dinner, and Bai Zhenzhu and the others smelled the familiar aroma as soon as they entered the door.

In the middle of the square table in the small restaurant, there was a basin filled with delicious Xinjiang-style braised chicken.

"Hahaha, are you surprised or delighted?"

Xia He was extremely pleased:

"I didn't want to cook, and I'm not good at it anyway, so I just went to Sister Liu Fang's place and brought back a big bowl of food. My brother is a very honest man; he made me a huge bowl of food and also packed a bag of steamed buns and rolls. I threw down forty yuan and ran off."

Then they took out a few more bottles of soda.

They said it was a housewarming party, but they ended up calling for Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu gave the curtains to Xia He:

“I noticed your curtains were old, so I had a few sets made. I don’t know if you like the pattern.”

Xia He's face lit up with surprise:

"I was just thinking about changing the curtains, oh Pearl, you really know me inside and out."

The curtains Bai Zhenzhu chose were gray linen plaid, and Xia He liked them at first sight:

I like this style.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "The fabric seller said it's a new pattern, and I think it looks pretty good. I figured you'd like it."

"I love it, I'll hang it up after we finish eating." Xia He pulled up the curtains and invited everyone, "Please sit down, don't be shy, eat up, I'll get you some soda."

Shuo Shuo had been craving soda for a long time:

"Auntie Xia, this orange-flavored soda is delicious."

Xia He gave the first bottle she had opened to Shuo Shuo:

“Our Shuoshuo will be the first to drink.”

Shuo Shuo is very sensible:

"Give Grandma Wen a drink first."

Wen Fengqin gave the soda to Shuo Shuo, and the little guy thanked her before taking a sip.

Bai Zhenzhu patted his head and reminded him:

"Let's eat something first before we drink, otherwise our stomachs will feel uncomfortable."

"I know, Mom."

The little guy held the bowl and started eating; the bowl contained chicken that Wen Fengqin had just put on his plate.

Xia He looked on with envy:

"Your Shuo Shuo is so sensible, I'm so envious. How about I adopt him as my godson?"

Bai Zhenzhu was taken aback:

"That's not a good idea, you're not married yet."

Xia He, however, did not care:

"Why can't I be a godmother if I'm not married? I'm a year older than you."

Bai Zhenzhu was hesitant to agree, but then she heard Wen Fengqin laugh and scold:

"You silly girl, you're not in a hurry to get married yourself, but you want to get someone else's son for free."

It doesn't look like opposition.

Xia He is a woman of action, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt about it.

"I heard from Sister-in-law Xu that the fortune teller said Shuo Shuo was lacking the element of metal in his five elements and needed to find a godmother who was born with the element of metal. And what a coincidence, I am born with the element of metal."

Wen Fengqin nodded: "Xia He is indeed a person with the metal element in her destiny."

She could tell that Bai Zhenzhu was a good person; she was capable, but most importantly, she got along well with Xia He.

Since her daughter wanted to befriend him, she, as her mother, naturally supported her.

Who didn't have a few good girlfriends when they were young?

He then said to Bai Zhenzhu:

“Pearl, I also think that you and your daughter get along very well with Xia He. If you don’t mind, why don’t you let Shuo Shuo recognize Xia He as his godmother?”

Since Wen Fengqin and Xia He were both willing, Bai Zhenzhu naturally had nothing to say.

She poured Shuo Shuo a glass of soda:

"Shuoshuo, come on, let's toast your godmother."

Shuo Shuo was obedient, holding the cup upright with his little hands:

"Godmother, have some soda."

Xia He readily agreed with a "Yes," took the soda, and drank it.

"Good son, just you wait, this godmother title isn't for nothing."

After saying that, he rushed back to his bedroom and came out to hand Shuo Shuo two hundred-yuan bills.

Bai Zhenzhu was startled:

"Why give so much? Just a token amount will suffice."

Xia He said, "This is for my godson. I didn't prepare anything, but this is the most practical gift."

Shuo Shuo clutched the hundred-yuan bill: "Thank you, godmother."

The little guy never expected that he would come to eat a meal obediently and end up recognizing a rich godmother.

The key point is that this godmother later became one of the richest women in Yuan City.
