half moon appointment

At the beginning of August, Xu Yue and Xia Banyue received a phone call, and Nie Yu asked them to come as soon as possible.Anyway, the two of them went by car in the afternoon. They were preparing to put steamed buns in the doorway. When Nie Yu opened the door, the two of them unexpectedly found that all the carpets in the house had been removed, and the white tiles and wooden floors were completely gone. exposed.

The air conditioner was not turned on, but Xia Banyue subconsciously felt a little cold, rubbing her arms was not used to it, and wondered if Master Ye wasn't afraid of the cold anymore?

Nie Yu asked them to sit on the sofa, brought two cans of iced Coke and put them in front of them, sat down and said, "Ban Yue, your illness, Master Ye, is completely cured."

"Really? That's great!" Xia Banyue's brows and eyes curled up with a smile, "Is she here now?"

Nie Yu shook her head: "She went home. I came to you this time to tell you one thing. Ye Yu and I have decided to move out and not live in Anning City in the future."

Xia Banyue asked anxiously, "Where do you want to move?"

"We plan to visit around first to make up for the regrets of these years, and then choose a quiet place with mountains and rivers to live in." Nie Yu said with a smile.Unconsciously, they have known each other for many years, and the years have drawn a few wrinkles at the end of her eyes, and there is nowhere to hide when she smiles.

Xu Yue asked, "Aunt Nie, why is it so sudden?"

"Actually, she has always disliked crowded places, and she doesn't like fame and power. She dislikes these vulgarities, but I like vulgarities, so she has been enduring my 'smell of copper'—that's what she said Mine. During the Chinese New Year, she was seriously ill and frightened me. Only then did I realize that fame, wealth, and power are not as important as a real person? I thought I hired people to manage the company these years, and I shrank myself The small stationery store and the handicraft shops I opened for her are my concessions and sacrifices, but what are they worth? I never gave her what she really wanted.”

Nie Yu smiled wryly, and then said: "Understanding this, I began to re-examine the past ten years, and the more I thought about it, the colder I became. I feel sorry for her. I don't want to waste any more time, so when she was sick , I have dealt with the company and the store one by one, and now I feel relaxed and have nothing but money."

Xu Yue and Xia Banyue were not unaware of the relationship between Nie Yu and Ye Yu. They were not surprised when they heard Nie Yu's confession.

After a moment of silence, Xia Banyue asked softly, "Then before you leave, will Master Ye come back?"

"No, she's staying at home for a while, and I'll go directly to her in a few days." Nie Yu tapped the coffee table with his index finger, "Here, she left you a notebook, which she wrote by herself."

Xia Banyue saw the exaggeratedly thick leather-bound notebook on the coffee table, leaned over to take it, and found that there were actually two notebooks.

"I wrote the other book for Xu Yue." Nie Yu said to Xu Yue, "I thought of you when I was dealing with the shop. I haven't given you anything for so many years. Before I leave, I will give you two handicraft shops. One The room is near Anning University, and the other is in the city center. I have cleared the relationship in advance, and you will follow me to go through the formalities in the past few days."

Xia Banyue hurriedly declined: "No, no, this is too expensive." How can you give it to two stores once it is given away?Money is not such a way to spend it.

Nie Yu: "Of course, I won't force you to accept it."

Xu Yue squeezed Xia Banyue's hand, and said to Nie Yu, "Thank you, Auntie Nie, you can contact me anytime you want to go through the formalities."

Nie Yu smiled: "Okay. I'm still busy, so I won't keep you, take the Coke away."

Without wasting her time, the two got up to say goodbye.

After going out and getting on the bus, Xia Banyue asked, "Ayo?"

"Look at the book that Auntie Nie wrote to me." Xu Yue flipped a page casually, the paper was written in correct font, and it was written in detail how to organize recruitment, what kind of person is suitable for which position, Xu Yue said, "Auntie Nie really wanted to give it to us. If we refused, it would not only disappoint her feelings, but also waste her efforts in writing this book. For Auntie Nie, these two stores are just simple gifts, and there is no distinction between gifts. Noble and humble, right?"

Xia Banyue nodded: "You are right."

"Actually, I also have selfish intentions," Xu Yue said, "Do you still remember that I asked you if you want to open a store in the future?"

"Hmm... I seem to remember that it was when I went to Anning University to participate in the self-enrollment?"

"Yes, you said at the time that there was a gap between you and Master Ye. What I thought at the time was that to open a store, you need to understand the industry, rent a store, purchase goods, and have working capital. It is a bit difficult to start from scratch, so later I I didn’t mention it again. But now we have all these ready-made. You like to do handicrafts. You usually take some leisurely and take them to the store without getting tired. Do you think it’s good to be the proprietress in the shop?”

"You think a lot." Xia Banyue smiled and touched Xu Yue with her shoulder.

Xu Yue smiled and said, "You also have a look at what Master Ye wrote for you."

Xia Banyue opened the book, and saw the title page read: For the lover Xia Banyue.Signed and dated underneath.Xia Banyue said to Xu Yue, "It feels like I'm flipping through a cheat book."

Turning over the title page, Xia Banyue couldn't hide her surprise. This is really a cheat book—handmade cheat book.

There are words on the top of the picture, and the picture is actually very well drawn, simple, clear and intuitive.The first half is about weaving techniques, and the second half is about other manual techniques, such as knitting, embroidery and so on.

Xia Banyue looked briefly at it, closed the book and hugged it to her chest, sighed and said, "I won't see Master Ye again."

Xu Yue put his arm on Xia Banyue's shoulder and patted her.

When they returned home, the two agreed to hide the relationship between Nie Yu and Ye Yu and explain the situation to their parents.These two stores came out of nowhere and seemed reasonable, but after all these years, they never knew that Nie Yu was a wealthy businessman.

In the next few days, Xu Yue followed Nie Yu through the formalities, heard a lot of business stories from Nie Yu, and gained a basic understanding of the two stores.In the past few months, Nie Yu has been busy taking care of Ye Yu, and has no time to spare. The management of the store is neglected, the business is not good, and she can barely maintain the balance of income and expenditure.

Nie Yu also said that if the business does not improve, the store can be rented out directly.At the beginning, Nie Yu bought it directly when he was choosing a store.

After completing the formalities, Nie Yu took a plane ticket and left Anning quietly.

When Xia Banyue and Xu Yue received the text message, Nie Yu was already on the plane, and they didn't even have the chance to see him off.After being sad for a long time, Xia Banyue cheered up and continued to read the notebook Ye Yu left for her.

The store managers and clerks in handmade shops are all ready-made, and the only thing left is for the boss to manage them.Xu Yue went to find Liang Zhenni, Liang Zhenni was too busy to touch the ground, Xu Yue went to find Gu Lanxin, Gu Lanxin only knew six senses of business.Xu Yue thought about it for half an hour, and felt that it was not particularly difficult, so he finally decided, let's do it in person, and make progress in practice!

The two stores were closed for three days at the same time, and then reopened. The name of the store has not been changed, and it is still called "Yuyu Handmade Workshop".A counter has been added to each of the two stores, where Xia Banyue's works are exclusively displayed. From this day on, Xia Banyue officially "debuted".

To reopen, it is natural to do some publicity.When he accompanied Xia Banyue to Anning University to participate in the self-enrollment, Xu Yue had a good chat with a few aunts in the parents' lounge, exchanged numbers and became friends, and they have not lost contact in the past few years.After receiving Xu Yue's request, the aunts agreed without hesitation, full of enthusiasm.It has to be said that the propaganda power of middle-aged women is very powerful.

When receiving the happy news of her baby addition, the busiest few days had just passed, and Xu Yue was able to catch her breath.Xia Banyue felt distressed watching it, and couldn't help much. She wandered around every night. When she heard that Aunt Lu Xibeng had given birth, she dragged Xu Yue to the hospital to visit.

On the way, Xia Banyue persuaded: "You can't earn enough money, just earn a little. Don't work so hard in the future, okay?"

Xu Yue patted her head and said with a smile, "It's just a few days, not in the future."

"Don't perfunctory me, you think I don't understand anything? You can't let go when you become a boss. You still have to go to class and work in the future. You are not Monkey King who conjured up many promises with a single hair. How can you be busy? Come here." Xia Banyue tugged at Xu Yue's arm, "I'm serious, it's not bad to sell the store and collect rent."

Xu Yue asked, "Are you willing?"

Xia Banyue pursed her lips.

"Master Ye and Auntie Nie only keep these two shops. Maybe we will never see them again. It is not impossible to close the shop and rent it out, but the last contact between you and Master Ye will be broken. Don't you I am willing, how can I be willing?"

Xia Banyue was discouraged: "But I don't want you to be so tired."

Xu Yue smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I'm working hard for us, and I don't feel tired at all. Do you think I'm a brave and aggressive person? I can do as much as I have ability, I know. Don't worry, Fatty. "

"Well," Xia Banyue compromised, "Okay, but you have to promise me, rest when you're tired, and let's live our lives well, it doesn't matter if we're poor."

Xu Yue couldn't help it, and pulled Xia Banyue's hand to his lips for a kiss, with a smile in his eyes: "Even if I don't have the skills, with Xia's mother here, will we be poor? I won't be the second Auntie Nie, because I always know that you are more important than anything else even though I have experienced ups and downs."

Xia Banyue waved her hands, feeling a little embarrassed, pouted and said, "You're so disgusting..."

When we arrived at the hospital, we were all well-equipped.Zhang Biao held a copy of "Postpartum Scientific Nursing Handbook" and gestured to them, indicating that the baby was asleep. The two walked quietly to the hospital bed.Zhang Sui moistened Lu Beiming's lips with a cotton swab soaked in water, concentrating on it. The two of them didn't disturb him, and looked at the baby first.Lu Nanye didn't know how long he had been staring at the baby's bed, the mother's love in his eyes was overflowing, his biological daughter Lu Xibeng was sitting far away, afraid that the "rustling" sound would disturb the baby, and was drawing the first sketch for the baby.

It was peaceful.

After leaving the hospital, Xu Yue asked, "Do you like children?"

Xia Banyue nodded: "So small, so soft, so cute."

Xu Yue said, "We can adopt one in the future, if you want."

Xia Banyue jumped two steps: "Then I don't have to have my stomach cut!"

Xu Yue laughed, she could tell that Xia Banyue's answer was to not make her feel uncomfortable.Xu Yue didn't like children other than Xia Banyue when he was a child, and he still doesn't like children when he grows up. According to rational analysis, Xu Yue thinks that he is too rational, so when he sees a small soft and cute child , and will not produce feelings such as "love, pity, love, love" and so on.But Xia Banyue is different, even Auntie Pan's son, Xia Banyue will still give candy when she sees him now.

Some things are destined to be helpless, but Xu Yue will not be afraid, nor will she shrink back.The very rational Xu Yue believes in one sentence in his heart: true love conquers everything.Of course, the premise is that she is very capable.
