Chapter 55

Seeing Li Hongmei's innocent dancing, Zhou Xiaohui was amused by her again.

Recently, Li Guodong, who has a screen, has been making Zhou Xiaohui very upset, and now there is a sister like this. Alas, these brother and sister are really equally cute and innocent.

This time Li Guodong was really embarrassed. He originally wanted to stop Li Hongmei from speaking, but seeing Zhou Xiaohui's rare good expression, he didn't want to interrupt. Forget it, isn't Pei Ze the same? You have to be thick-skinned to pursue a girl.

"My dear daughter, the college entrance examination is next month, so it's okay, right?"

Zhong Ming was worried that his daughter would feel stressed, after all, the last college entrance examination was seven or eight years ago.

"No problem, it's fine." It's just that Pei Ze was not very serious when he was explaining the questions to her, and even less serious when he was not explaining the questions. She now looks for the answers by herself, and will ask him for help if she really doesn't know the answer.

"That's good. After you finish the college entrance examination, our family will go out and play, and bring your mother-in-law and An An with you."

"OK."

"Dad, where do you think we should go?" Pei Ze also became interested. He had been too busy recently, and it would be a good thing to take his family out to relax.

This really made Zhong Ming ask the question. Qingzhou City is on the sea, which is a bit far away. However, he and his daughter died at sea in his previous life. Now, he doesn't want to go to the seaside at all.

"Anywhere except the beach, would you like to research it?"

"Okay, I'll think about it."

"I want to sign up for a driver's license test. Is there a driving school nearby?" Zhong Miao has been too idle recently, so he wants to find something to do.

"You still have to take the college entrance examination. Can you handle it?"

Pei Ze wanted her to take the exam again during the summer vacation, he had thought of it a long time ago.

"No need to study, just go and take the exam. You tell me how to take the exam, and I'll just run two laps around the soy sauce factory."

During the summer vacation, she would let Pei Ze ride a bicycle to work, and she would drive around the city a few times to take a good look at this familiar yet unfamiliar city.

"Okay, I'll sign you up. Let's sign up for the latest batch of exams."

Li Hongmei had gotten over the excitement caused by the alcohol and was now a little dazed. Li Guodong sent her into the house and she rested on the sofa.

Zhou Xiaohui listened to the conversation of Zhong Miao's family. Not only did she think Zhong Miao was very capable, but she also realized that she was the darling of the family at home. She felt a little envious.

Having a driver's license and being able to drive is a serious job these days. No matter whether it is a big car or a small car, as long as you can drive it, you are very cool and are very popular wherever you go.

Nowadays, few men can drive, let alone girls.

"Li Guodong, aren't you looking for a job? You should learn how to drive. Being a driver is great. You earn more than factory workers, and it's not tiring. You can drive wherever you go and it's free."

Zhou Xiaohui reminded Li Guodong beside her that she had given up, but she was still touched that Li Guodong came to the city for her. She had been thinking about it these days.

Li Guodong is a tall man with regular facial features. Although he is not very handsome, he just happens to suit Zhou Xiaohui's aesthetic taste. He is not a skinny guy and is very manly. If he were not mentally ill, she would not want to give up on him.

Now, Li Guodong has figured it out. He has friends like Pei Ze and Zhong Miao, and a lively and lovely sister like Li Hongmei. He thinks she is a good person, so he can try to get along with her first. However, he is afraid that his parents may not like her, so he will ask them about it when he returns.

"Okay, Brother Ze, please sign up for me too."

Li Guodong didn't know whether he learned this skill from Pei Ze or developed it on his own. He listened to his wife's advice. Although the other party didn't agree to his job, he could start work early.

"If you want to work, it's best to get a master's license. Unlike Zhong Miao's, most driving schools don't offer master's licenses these days. I'll ask around for you."

Pei Ze originally took the high-level exam. The city where he went to school was also a big province, but there was only one place in the provincial capital where he could take the exam, and there were only two schools in the entire province where he could study.

"Okay, thanks, brother. The soy sauce factory is almost finished. I'll go there after I finish decorating the warehouse."

"Guodong, don't worry. We have enough space at home. You should study when you need to. Come back to work when you're not busy studying. You can live in the soy sauce factory first. I don't know when I'll be able to finish my work."

Zhong Ming couldn't bear to see his children's studies being affected. Anyway, he would have a place to live when he returned. He had three apartments, and the soy sauce factory could accommodate him.

Li Guodong understood that Uncle Zhong was worried that he would not have enough money to learn driving, so he asked him to earn some living expenses and provided him with free accommodation. He accepted the favor.

"Thank you, uncle. When I make some money, I'll buy a house here and learn how to do business from Brother Ze."

"OK."

The hosts and guests enjoyed the dinner very much. After seeing the guests off, Zhong Ming helped clean up and went back to the next room to rest. Suddenly, the couple was left alone.

"This is for you." Zhong Miao took out some furniture drawings.

"Aren't you reading at home? How do you have time to draw this?"

Pei Ze took it and glanced at it. His wife's drawings came at the right time. This time, with the new products and the new store, the effect will definitely be better.

“I drew it when I was bored.”

"You have quite a lot in your little head."

"I also drew a lot of clothing designs for my dad, but I'm not a professional and I don't know how to make patterns and clothes."

"My dear daughter-in-law, don't worry too much. Just keep caring about your man. Dad doesn't want you to suffer."

Pei Ze hugged his wife and coaxed her. Although his wife didn't say it, she was thinking about them in her heart and felt sorry for the hard work of him and his father-in-law.

Recently, she is not only preparing for the college entrance examination, but also making manuscripts for future exhibitions. Oil paintings do not dry well, and they have to be left to dry for several months after they are finished. She also doesn't know what the exhibition will be like, so she must prepare in advance.

Zhong Miao looked relaxed, but she was actually worried. She was worried that they wouldn't be able to make back the money they invested, and she was also worried about the health of her father-in-law and son-in-law.

Pei Ze knew all this and felt sad.

"I'm not worried, and I'm not anxious or angry. What's there to be tired of?"

"Okay, don't worry, our family will get the money back soon."

"Uh-huh."

In early June, a few days before the college entrance examination, Zhong Miao was listening to a tape recorder. The radio was broadcasting an old-fashioned music program. When the commercials came on, she stopped doing the questions.

"Ming An Home Furnishing, factory direct sales, good quality and low price, quality guaranteed. When buying furniture, choose Ming An Home Furnishing. Contact number: XXX-XXXXXXXXX, store address: east side of the furniture mall..."

The announcer repeated the slogan three times in an emotional and passionate voice.

"Pfft, hahahaha, that's so funny."

This passionate style and this old-fashioned advertising slogan made Zhong Miao very happy.

After the advertisement was repeated three times, the radio announcer continued, continuously changing the style of the video, and the tone became gentle and sincere. "Ms. Zhong, the owner of Ming'an Furniture, your lover wishes you good luck in the college entrance examination, a happy life, and all the best. He will always be by your side."

The announcer's tone suddenly changed, which stunned Zhong Miao. The sincere and emotional voice was repeated three times.

"Ah, ahhh, what the hell is this? It's so embarrassing."

"Dog shit, dog shit, dog shit."

Zhong Miao threw down the pen in his hand, covered his face with one hand and scratched the wall with the other, and he was almost about to dig out a factory for Pei Ze with his own hands.

As long as I am not embarrassed, it is Pei Ze who is embarrassed. This is equivalent to a subtle confession of love to her. This confession has been heard by countless people through the broadcast. It is equivalent to confessing in public. Why is he a little bit overwhelmed?

This bastard is so good, I can’t handle it anymore.

How fucking embarrassing.

For a moment, I felt embarrassed, happy, and speechless. I wanted to scold Pei Ze and hit him, but I also wanted to kiss him. My heart was so complicated.

Zhong Miao calmed down and ran to the soy sauce factory to call the furniture factory.

"Hello, this is Ming'an Home Furnishing." It was Erwa's voice.

"It's Erwa, right? I'm Zhong Miao. I heard Pei Ze's commercial on the radio. Has the TV commercial aired yet?"

"Sister-in-law, it's me, sister-in-law. The TV station hasn't aired it yet. It will be broadcast tomorrow on Qingzhou Provincial TV Station and Qingzhou City TV Station. Both will have it in the afternoon and evening."

Erwa quickly told Zhong Miao what he knew.

"Okay, got it. Go back to work."

"Sister-in-law, did you hear the rest of the radio?" Erwa's voice was filled with a teasing smile.

"I heard it, it's so damn embarrassing. Don't tell Pei Ze, just pretend I didn't hear it." She still felt embarrassed.

Pei Ze told her about the store opening a few days ago and agreed to let her cut the ribbon so that she, as the owner, could bring good luck to the store. She agreed.

But he didn't say when the commercial would air. This bastard knew which radio station she usually listened to, and he was deliberately giving her a surprise.

"Hahaha, okay sister-in-law, I definitely won't tell him. I'll pretend I don't know. This will only be broadcast for one day, and tomorrow it will be a normal advertisement." Erwa's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay." Fortunately, it was only broadcast for one day, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.

Pei Ze pretended not to know when he got home at night, and Zhong Miao also pretended nothing happened. The atmosphere was a bit subtle.

"Wife, you have to get up at six tomorrow morning to prepare for the opening."

"knew."

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"without."

"Nothing you want to tell me?"

"without."

"Our advertisement is going to be on TV and you don't even ask?"

"I believe in you, you can do it." Zhong Miao patted his shoulder indifferently, looking like a good brother.

"Hiss, did you listen to the radio today?" Pei Ze was puzzled. This shouldn't be the case.

"Yes."

"Did you hear our commercial?"

"I heard it."

"Okay, you little bastard, you're playing with me, right?" Pei Ze picked up his wife and tickled and bit her.

"Hahahaha, I listened to it. Who told you not to tell me before?"

"I deliberately brought it forward a day just to give you a surprise."

"It was a surprise, but it was so embarrassing. I almost dug out a factory for you." Zhong Miao covered her face.

Pei Ze read and understood, "Wife, then you should be more careful. The future of our family and business depends on you."

"You bastard." Zhong Miao hit him, jumped up in his arms, and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"So do you like this dog thing of mine?"

"A little."

"real?"

"Yeah." Zhong Miao leaned on his shoulder and nodded.

He had already confessed his feelings in public, and she didn't want to disappoint him, so she decided to tell him the truth and give him some response.

"Don't even think about sleeping tonight." Pei Ze was instantly overjoyed, his chest filled with joy. His wife finally liked him.

The next morning, Pei Ze pulled Zhong Miao out of bed and said, "Wife, we're going to be on TV today. The store is opening, and you have to go cut the ribbon."

"I'm so sleepy, can I not go?" Zhong Miao didn't want to move. She was right. If she responded to him a little, he would get excited and make her suffer a lot.

"No, you have to go. Be good and let your husband dress you."

"Put on socks first." Zhong Miao stretched out one leg from the quilt. She really hadn't woken up yet.

"Okay."

Zhong Miao sat in the passenger seat and was still unconscious.

"Just take a nap for a while, I'll call you when we get there."

"Uh-huh."

This was Zhong Miao's first time at the furniture store. Pei Ze's shop was very close to the furniture store. The big sign at the door was covered with red cloth and would not be unveiled until the official opening time.

Push open the glass door and enter.

Zhong Ming, Zhang Weilan, An An, Li Hongmei, Erwa, Li Guodong, and even Zhou Xiaohui were there, as well as some familiar and unfamiliar faces. There were so many people.

Zhong Miao didn't know how her mother-in-law and An An came. She was surprised and excited. She hugged Zhang Weilan and said, "Grandma, I missed you so much."

Zhang Weilan patted her daughter-in-law on the back twice and said, "Mom misses you too."

"Mom, Dad, hahaha." An An was happy when he saw his parents.

It was An An's first time in this kind of environment. The shop was filled with neatly arranged furniture. He sat on one for a while and then climbed up to take a look. When Zhong Miao and Pei Ze arrived, the little guy immediately ran over and hugged his mother's legs, then looked up at his father.
