“What if I ranked fifth in the written exam? I got in by sheer luck. From a staff member in the government office to a leader’s secretary—on the day my ex-girlfriend begged me to get back together,...
Li Xiuyuan had a general understanding of his sister Li Qingqing's family situation. Last year, they had just bought a house and were not financially well-off. They could probably come up with 20,000 yuan, but it was definitely not a small amount.
Zhang Yucai definitely knew about this, and it's even very likely that he was behind it.
Why did Zhang Yucai ask for 20,000 yuan? It's possible he wanted to thank them for what happened at their agricultural supply store, but 20,000 yuan is too much, and his sister would definitely have to stop him.
After all, my sister still has to live with her husband's family. It's definitely not appropriate for her to cause them to suffer a huge financial loss just because she helped them with this little bit of help.
And we won't accept it ourselves.
If that wasn't the reason, why would Zhang Yucai send over 20,000 yuan? And with his sister's consent, Li Xiuyuan was also a little puzzled. But it was obvious that the incident of the agricultural supply store being shut down last time was definitely a trigger that led to the 20,000 yuan.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. He'd ask his sister and brother-in-law when they came over tomorrow.
It was already late when Li Xiuyuan went to sleep. The next morning, Li Xiuyuan got up at the same time as usual and went to exercise by the lakeside track. Unknowingly, he had been exercising for almost a year.
Li Xiuyuan gradually incorporated this habit into his life.
After a slow jog, I felt full of energy. It's great to be young. Even though I went to bed late last night, it didn't affect my condition today. But I still need to rest when I need to.
Li Xiuyuan doesn't plan to go to work today; he wants to have a good rest.
Li Xiuyuan took out his phone, took a picture of the lakeside running track, and sent it to Su Ziying via MMS. Then he put his phone in his pocket and strolled home.
Su Ziying, who was far away in the provincial capital, also woke up at this time, but she stayed in bed and didn't get up. She had slept very comfortably at home and didn't want to get up. Lying in bed, Su Ziying couldn't help but think of Li Xiuyuan.
At this time, the two of them should have already met and been running on the playground. Now that he's back, he wonders if Li Xiuyuan has gotten up yet. Is he still in bed like him during the holidays, or has he gotten up and gone for a run?
Is it in the central town? Or in the county? What work does Li Xiuyuan have today? Or is he resting at home like me?
Just as Su Ziying was thinking about this, her phone rang. At this time, the MMS message quality was just so-so, but Su Ziying's eyes lit up immediately.
It's not that the scenery around the lake is particularly beautiful; the point is that this scenery was sent to me by Li Xiuyuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan actually got up and exercised today, which is much better than me. I tend to stay in bed as soon as I get home.
"A running track around the lake?"
"Teacher Su has a good memory; she remembered it after only visiting once," Li Xiuyuan replied quickly.
"Huangyuan County only has a few places for sports. If it's not the playground of the town's middle school, you can only exercise on the lakeside track."
Did Teacher Su go for a run this morning?
Buried under the covers, Su Ziying blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. Then she typed rapidly: "Of course, I just finished running too. The sun is shining brightly today."
"Really? I checked the weather forecast, and it says it will be cloudy in the provincial capital today."
