Xue Ling looked up at her and whispered: "You have to lose weight! How many times have I told you! Women are ruined by being fat. You used to be plump and beautiful. As long as you lose weight, you will still be beautiful.
.”
"But I... really can't lose weight." Xiao Jiaxue smiled bitterly: "Every time I exercise, I get tired... I really can't move."
Xue Ling said with a smile: "It's because your determination is not strong enough. Don't sit in the office. Come to my factory to work for half a month, or go to the construction site for a few days. I will keep you thin every day."
"Is it possible?" Xiao Jiaxue muttered: "I get hungry when I exercise, and I eat a lot when I'm hungry. If I exercise a lot, the more I eat, I will become fat instead of losing weight."
Xue Ling thought of the swarthy appearance of the workers at the construction site who were working hard and sweating profusely, and then looked at the white and chubby girl in front of her, and felt funny for a while.
"How do you know it doesn't work if you haven't tried it? Go to the construction site and see which worker is as chubby as you? There is no one who has really worked at the construction site for a long time."
Xiao Jiaxue was a little moved when she heard that, and couldn't help but ask: "Is it true?"
Xue Ling nodded and said coolly: "But you definitely can't bear it."
"As long as I can lose weight, I can bear it." Xiao Jiaxue nodded heavily.
Xue Ling glanced at her and said: "When the food is served later, you can only eat a few bites of vegetables, and you can't eat anything else. Can you do it? Except for soup, vegetables and fruits, you can't eat anything else for two weeks. Can you?
Can it be done?”
Xiao Jiaxue swallowed her saliva and muttered: "You have ordered so much, what a waste if you don't eat it! Besides, if I don't help you eat, how can you finish it by yourself!"
"You don't need to worry about this." Xue Ling touched her belly and raised her chin, "I have two little kids here to help me eat!"
Xiao Jiaxue felt funny in her heart. Although she was very reluctant to let go, she felt cruel when she saw her friend's slightly mocking eyes.
"I don't believe I can't do it! Just wait and see."
Xue Ling did not have any confidence and whispered: "I said, starting from this meal, I can only eat vegetables and soup for the next half month. It's not just this meal, understand? Only with long-term persistence, you can
Lose weight."
"I... try." Xiao Jiaxue sighed, "My mother said, it's summer again in the blink of an eye. It's been half a year now, and it will be another year soon. Year after year, I still can't get married.
. She said that if I can’t find a partner by the end of the year, my brother may have to get married first. He already has a partner and is waiting for me, my sister, to get married. The house needs to be renovated to give him a wife. My brother will be 27 next year.
My partner didn’t want to wait too long, so he wanted to get married as soon as possible. My dad sighed and said that if I, the eldest, don’t get married, my younger brother will have no choice but to get over me.”
Xue Ling knew the situation of her family. It was a typical scholarly family in the imperial capital, with a simple family style, respecting the elderly and loving the young.
In the imperial capital, marriages are usually arranged starting from the eldest son, and arranged in descending order according to age and order. This is called a reasonable order.
In the eyes of parents, offside situations like this are helpless and sad, especially for older leftover girls like Xiao Jiaxue.
Xue Ling struck while the iron was hot: "Then you should lose weight quickly. You sweat more in summer, which makes it easier to lose weight. If you lose 40 pounds in half a year, you will be plump and beautiful again. It will be easier to find a partner then."
Xiao Jiaxue nodded, "I think so too. I asked you out today because I want to take the opportunity to give you a big meal, and then go back and lose weight."
"Ha ha!"
We must be firm in our determination not to eat a bite of meat.”
When Xiao Jiaxue said this, she simply said: "Okay, let's start with this meal!"
I am very determined, but unfortunately it becomes difficult when it comes to delicious food.
After the plates of dishes were served, she kept swallowing her saliva with great difficulty, which made Xue Ling feel embarrassed to eat.
However, Xue Ling did not relent at all, "Remember! You can only eat vegetables and soup."
Xiao Jiaxue swallowed her saliva, ate a few mouthfuls of green vegetables, and said encouragingly: "I've eaten already, I'm a little full."
After finishing the meal, Xue Ling was very satisfied, but Xiao Jiaxue was reluctant to leave. She kept looking at the plate of plain-cut chicken and roasted pigeon and swallowed her saliva.
Xue Ling whispered: "Fat man, let's go."
Xiao Jiaxue was so angry when she said "fatty" that she said, she took a deep breath, glared at her, and stood up with difficulty.
Xue Ling looked at the oversized dress she was wearing and asked funnyly: "Where did you find such a large dress?"
Xiao Jiaxue had a dark face and whispered: "I can't buy it, my mother made it for me."
"Pfft!" Xue Ling did not forget to ridicule her fiercely, "You are so fat that you are wasting your clothes."
Xiao Jiaxue glared at her again and gritted her teeth: "With your big belly and fat waist, you are not far away from me."
"It's okay." Xue Ling chuckled, "No matter how fat I am, I can't be as fat as you."
Xiao Jiaxue took a deep breath again and said loudly: "We will gather here at the same time in half a month. I hope I can lose five pounds!"
“Do you want to make a bet?”
"Cool!" Xiao Jiaxue hummed, "I'll bet you! How much? Come on! Who's afraid of whom?"
Xue Ling squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Of course, the more you do, the more challenging it will be. It depends on whether you dare or not?"
"Of course I dare!" Xiao Jiaxue couldn't help but get excited, loudly: "You are so rich, if I don't take the opportunity to blackmail you and make a fortune, I will feel unbalanced!"
"Haha!" Xue Ling nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, let's give it three thousand yuan."
Three thousand?!
Xiao Jiaxue was startled by the solidity, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She is now the editor-in-chief, with many years of work experience, and her current salary is just over 300 yuan. Her family does not need her salary, so in addition to daily expenses and food and drink, she can save about 2,000 yuan a year.
Three thousand represents her income for nearly a year—that’s a lot of money!
Xue Ling is now a person with a daily income of over 10,000 yuan, and he doesn't even pay attention to such a small amount.
"How about it? Don't you dare? If you can lose ten pounds in a month, I will give you three thousand yuan. If you can't, then give me three thousand yuan. Let's make a written agreement immediately and never regret it."
Xiao Jiaxue was so aroused by her that she had already made arrogant remarks just now. If she wanted to take it back now, she would not be able to save her face.
"Okay! Create a document immediately!"
"Okay! After setting up the receipt, go to the rice store next door to claim it!" Xue Ling stared and smiled.
…
After returning home, Xue Ling found that Cheng Tianyuan was at home, while his two sons were sleeping on the floor in the room. The window was open, and the breeze blew in slowly. It was not too hot.
He sat aside with a fan in his hand and gently fanned his sons.
Xue Ling asked in a low voice: "Why are you at home? Have you finished your work?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "The weather is hot and the goods are unloaded quickly. Why did you come back? Did you have lunch until after two o'clock?"
