Chapter 31 Romantic Allergy

While she was changing clothes, Li Zichen said to the boss, "Wash two sets."

The boss replied, "It's 60 cents a piece. I just took the photos together so it's cheaper."

Li Zichen took out three yuan and sixty cents.

Su Le changed his clothes in a good mood and walked out with a smile on his face.

Li Zichen was also infected by the good mood, "I'm going to buy some meat later, will you come with me?"

Su Le shook his head like a rattle, "No! I have something else to do!"

Li Zichen asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Haven't you only been here for a few days?"

Su Le racked his brains to think of how to get away with it.

Li Zichen looked at her with amusement as her eyes kept rolling around. "Wait for me at the post office. We'll go back together."

Su Le nodded quickly, fearing that Li Zichen would change his mind if he was late! He rode away on his bicycle.

Li Zichen touched the fabric, which was comfortable, soft and breathable. His wife seemed to have many secrets.

Su Le found a deserted place to change his clothes, rushed to the temple, and put all the meat into a bag.

Li Zichen and Xu Hu came over.

"Mom! You haven't told me how much a pound is!" Xu Hu said sweetly.

"Our boss said, since you bought a lot of goods, we'll give you a discount on the meat. Next time, we'll raise the price! 50 cents a pound."

Xu Hu exclaimed, "Mom, you're so kind! I can't repay you enough! Do you have a daughter? I'd even marry into your family! Just to honor you!"

Su Le smiled and said, "I have a daughter!"

Li Zichen interrupted, "Hu Zi, stop messing around with that useless stuff, and pay the bill quickly!"

Xu Hu said dissatisfiedly, "I still have to get married, Brother Chen, wait a minute."

Li Zichen took out 250 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Su Le, "Hu Zi is leaving!" Li Zichen carried three bags.

Xu Hu waited anxiously for Su Le to come forward, but had no choice but to follow Li Zichen with two bags in his hands.

Su Le thanks the God of Wealth!

Su Le walked into the post office with a smile, "Sister, please see if there is a package for me. My name is Su Le."

The postman recognized her immediately. "Girl, you're here again. I've got a lot of stamps these past two days. I saved them for you. Do you want some?"

Su Le carefully touched his pocket and asked, "Sister, is it too expensive?"

The postman smiled and took out all the stamps. "It's not expensive. Since you call me sister, I will definitely give you a discount. Normally it would be 50 yuan, but I will charge you 45. Don't tell anyone."

Su Le nodded immediately, carefully took out four reunion notes from his pocket, and took out some small change of one cent, one dime, and two cents. Finally, he looked at the remaining one dime and two cents with a painful look.

The postman completely believed that it was just for the old lady, and that she was a filial girl. He started looking for a package for her.

"There are four express deliveries, all sent to you by different people. Come and sign for them." The postman said in surprise.

Su Le took a few glances and said, "My parents and my three brothers sent it."

The postman enviously said, "For women like us, our families only ask us to support our brothers and suck their blood. They won't give us anything. Your family is really good to you."

Su Le understood that even though leaders in this era say women can hold up half the sky, such bad habits still exist in rural areas. He took out a few White Rabbit candies and handed them to her, "Sister, please have some. Women can hold up half the sky. Everyone should have their own independent consciousness and the right to make their own choices, not be bound by traditional concepts. Sister, you should pursue your own dreams and happiness, not be confined by the shackles of family ties. Those who truly love you will respect you, not constantly exploit you. Even parents will."

The postman looked at her in shock, then shook his head. Su Le didn't try to persuade her much, as everyone has their own choice.

Su Le loaded the packages onto his bicycle one by one, placing one on the back seat, two on the crossbar, and one in his backpack. He looked around but couldn't see Li Zichen or Xu Hu. He quickly rode into an alley and put the three packages away, leaving only one.

Li Zichen and Xu Hu were carrying five bags when they saw a young girl leaning on a bicycle from a distance, holding a meat bun in her hand.

Xu Hu's heart was moved at first sight. "Brother Chen! Is this your sister? Can you introduce her to me?"

Li Zichen looked at him coldly, "This is my wife!"

Xu Hu sensed it. "Brother Chen, when did you get married? I didn't even get to drink at the wedding!"

Li Zichen looked at the girl with tenderness in his eyes. "We'll get the marriage certificate today, but we won't have a wedding yet. It depends on what she thinks."

Xu Hu stopped thinking about it. How could he have the courage to compete with Brother Chen for a woman!

Li Zichen asked gently, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Su Le nodded and raised his meat bun, "Didn't you see? I'm getting hungry waiting!"

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Xu Hu called out. Su Le tilted his head and looked behind him. Wasn't this his eldest son? "Why are you carrying so much meat on a bicycle?" Su Le saw the bags in their hands.

Li Zichen was also thinking, "I can't bear to let my wife sit in the back and carry such a heavy piece of meat." Xu Hu quickly said, "Brother Chen, I'll find an ox cart to follow you. You go ahead."

Li Zichen was not polite at all. He placed the meat in his hand at his feet, straddled his long legs, and sat in the car. Su Le was about to sit in the back when Li Zichen reached out his hand to her. Su Le was puzzled, "Why? I can get in by myself!"

Is this woman allergic to romance?

Li Zichen directly took off the backpack on his shoulders and put it on his back. "Let's go. Huzi, hurry up."

Xu Hu nodded. He watched helplessly as the girl he'd fallen in love with for the first time sat in the back seat of another car.
