Chapter 128 - Town Life

The rent wasn't too expensive, and it was pretty close to Xiao Qiu's home. These few days, she gradually familiarized herself with the life here. The pace of life in the small town was very slow, unlike the An City where everyone was always rushing to get there.

The people here were also very friendly. Su Jinyi would wake up very early in the morning to take a stroll on the streets, buy some fresh food at the market, and go back to cook. Her culinary skills were not considered good.

Su Jinyi really liked living here, and really liked this town. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no wonder Xiao Qiu was a good person, it was normal for her to be being nurtured in this kind of environment.

Although the consumption here was not high, Xiao Qiu did not have much savings either. After paying the rent for a whole quarter, she already had a lot of money on her hands, so finding a job became a big problem. In a small town like this, there was no one who could find a job that specialized in supporting her.

She carefully searched around the town before finally targeting a small jewelry store with rich local features. She looked at the recruitment notice on the window and walked in.

The jewelry shop's owner was a woman who looked to be around 40 years of age. When Su Jinyi walked in, the boss immediately welcomed him with a smile.

"Do you need anything?" the boss asked with a smile.

"Eh, I only entered when I saw the recruitment notice at the entrance, is this where you recruit people?" Su Jinyi pointed to the recruitment notice in the window and said to her.

"Is, is that you?" The boss heard the reason for her visit and brought her in.

"Mm, it's me." Su Jinyi was led in.

The owner brought a chair for her and indicated for her to sit. Su Jinyi thanked her and sat down.

"I'm the only one in this shop. My daughter is going to take her high school exams, so I want to hire someone to help me look after the shop. That way, I'll have more time to take care of her." The boss explained.

"So it's like that." Su Jinyi nodded in understanding, then asked, "Then, if you want to work here, what do you need to do?"

"Actually, there isn't anything too complicated to do. If someone is coming, then just buy something."

"Did you make all these yourself?" Su Jinyi looked at the surroundings of the shop and asked curiously.

"Some of them. Others are wholesale." The boss replied.

Actually, this store wasn't that big, but it had a pretty good variety of items.

"Oh yeah, I still haven't asked you what your name is." When Su Jinyi was looking, the owner asked again.

"My name is Su Jinyi." Su Jinyi retracted her gaze and replied to the boss.

"You don't look like someone from here. Why would you want to find a job here?" The boss was also sizing her up.

"I just arrived a few days ago. I wanted to stay there for a long time, so I got a job." Su Jinyi replied.

The boss nodded his head in understanding, then talked about the work hours and the issue of salary, "I don't give you a high salary either. The salary I give you is not high, it's 26 days a month, and there's no rest day. If you have any business, you can tell me and I can give you a break.

Su Jinyi thought about it, work hours were definitely not a problem, as for the salary, it was indeed a little low, but in this place, it was already considered alright. Other than the monthly rent, there was also the daily living expenses.

"Then when can I come to work?" Su Jinyi thought about it and agreed.

"Why don't you come and get familiar with it tomorrow? If you can, you can stay. Starting from the day after tomorrow, you can officially be considered to be at work. Is that alright?"

"Alright, then I'll come over tomorrow." Su Jinyi nodded, then asked, "Oh yeah, then how do I address you? It's not like we can keep on calling him boss, right? "

"Ya, look at my memory. I forgot to introduce myself." The boss slapped his head and said, "My surname is Chen, you can just call me Sis Chen."

"Mn, okay, Sis Chen."

"Alright, then it's a deal."

After they finished chatting with Sis Chen, Su Jinyi left, but she did not go home. Instead, she bought some things and went to Xiao Qiu's house, and after moving out, she frequently went to her house to visit. Xiao Qiu's parents were usually rather busy, so normally only her grandparents were home, and Su Jinyi would visit them when she had nothing to do, to chat with the two elders.

Su Jinyi carried a bag of fruits and walked over.

"Ya, little Yi is here." When Xiao Qiu's grandmother saw that Su Jinyi had arrived, she smiled. They all liked this child.

"Grandmother, I've come to visit you."

"Kid, you always bring something with you every time you come. If you bring another thing, I won't welcome you anymore." Xiao Qiu's grandmother pretended to be angry when she saw the large bag of fruits in Su Jinyi's hand.

"Got it, Grandma." Su Jinyi replied with a smile, then asked, "Are you alone at home? Where's grandpa? "

"He has gone to play chess with his friend. He probably won't be able to come back for a while. I don't care about him. " Xiao Qiu's grandmother said, "Stay for dinner today."

"No, I have to go back earlier today." Su Jinyi said happily, "I'm going to look for a job today, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Really? Where do you work? " Xiao Qiu's grandmother also became happy.

"It's in a jewelry store on the east side of town, not far from here."

"That's great!" Xiao Qiu's grandmother was happy for her.

Su Jinyi chatted with Xiao Qiu's grandmother for a long time. She looked at the time and felt that it was about time, before she left.

That night, Su Jinyi had already gone to bed early in the morning. This early in the morning, she was still unable to sleep, so she subconsciously touched her neck, where there was the necklace that He Ruiting gave her, the one she bought at the auction.

On the day she left the He family, she forgot to leave her necklace. When she went to the small town to take a bath, she discovered that there was a necklace around her neck. It had already been half a month since she left the He family. In this half month, it was not as if Su Hen had not thought of He Ruiting at all. She really wanted to forget about him and live her life once more in peace.

It was easy to fall in love with someone, it might only take a second, but it was hard to completely forget someone. It was also hard to forget someone, even if you spent your entire life thinking about it. Everything that had happened during the days she had spent with him was deeply engraved in her heart and would be difficult to erase.
