This little girl is really...
He shook his head helplessly in his heart. The romantic thoughts that had just been aroused by Xiaoxiao were suppressed a lot by these two words.
Seeing that she couldn't get any accurate information out of Song Xingzhi, Zhong Xiaoxiao felt that her small mission was half-failed, and a look of dejection appeared on her face.
Teacher Song is indeed difficult to deal with! According to the villagers, he once rejected six matchmakers in one day.
But she also knew that she couldn't pester Teacher Song anymore, after all, she had finished asking the homework.
She said goodbye to Song Xingzhi obediently, picked up her small cloth bag that was a little pale from washing, and walked out of Song Xingzhi's yard, looking back every few steps.
But she had just reached the entrance of the alley and had not yet turned onto the main road to the village when she ran head-on into the gossipmongers who loved to stir up trouble the most in the village.
They were gathered together, talking about something. When they looked up and saw Zhong Xiaoxiao coming out of the alley where Song Xingzhi's house was, their eyes suddenly lit up like searchlights.
One of them, the plump Liu sister-in-law who usually loved to take advantage of others, was the first to speak, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear: "Hey, isn't this Xiaoxiao from Chunxue's family?"
Her eyes darted around, flicking back and forth between Xiaoxiao and finally landing on the alleyway leading to Song Xingzhi's house. Her tone was filled with tacit speculation: "This... just came out of Clerk Song's house?"
Another tall and thin woman with prominent cheekbones, Aunt Li, immediately joined in the conversation. She squinted at Xiaoxiao, curled the corners of her mouth, and made a meaningful "tsk".
"At such a young age, he's quite active in thinking."
After these people knew that Zhong Xiaoxiao was commended by the leaders, their jealousy grew wildly. After all, they did not have such a well-educated daughter.
"That's right!" Sister Liu slapped her thigh, her voice suddenly rising a few notches, as if afraid others couldn't hear her. "I heard that Secretary Song's family is very well-off! His family is a high-ranking official!"
She paused deliberately, her eyes piercing Xiaoxiao like a needle: "Isn't this... a misbehavior at such a young age, and you've set your sights on Secretary Song?"
"Looking at this direction, it's probably true! Who made Secretary Song stay unmarried at his age? Everyone is eyeing him!"
