Chapter 67 Small Matters



After the banquet, many people got drunk, they were all friends of the groom.

The smell at the scene was not very pleasant.

But my uncle was still left behind to work.

There were a lot of leftovers on the table that could be packed up, so my uncle asked my younger uncle to pack up a few chickens and said he would take them back to my grandmother.

There was a dish at the banquet which was a stewed whole chicken. The whole chicken was stewed in soup and it was served at the end. Many people were too tired to eat it. Some people picked out the chicken legs and wings and ate them, leaving only the chicken belly floating in the soup.

There are quite a lot left, but they are basically incomplete and rotten.

As he handed it to my uncle, my great-uncle said, "Your mother has bad teeth, this is the best thing for her to eat."

In fact, there are some complete pig trotters, hairy crabs, and lobsters. They look good and are convenient to take.

But my uncle picked out the good-looking ones and prepared them to give to other people.

Xiaoqi could imagine that scene. Even though my uncle brought back a bunch of rotten vegetables, my grandmother still proudly showed off to the neighbors, saying, "This is the food my eldest brother's son gave me for his wedding. It's from a big hotel. She specially asked the third brother to bring it to me, blah blah..."

My uncle packed the bags and helped to clean up inside. Xiaoqi was waiting at the hotel entrance. Cars were passing by and the sun was shining brightly, making it a bit dazzling.

A gust of wind blew, and the small trees on the roadside swayed slightly, and the loose hair around Xiaoqi's ears was also blown up.

She took a deep breath. She felt that she was not doing this. She just attended a relative's wedding, but her horizons had inexplicably narrowed. She was only focusing on those small things, such as being ordered to do work, and the leftovers she got were not good. These were just small things that made her unhappy.

If you keep focusing on these little things and getting angry about them, you won't change anything and will just waste your time.

I am angry because of unfair treatment, but if my family conditions have always been like this, this treatment will not change, and there is no point in getting angry.

She looked up at the tree, and scattered sunlight shone through the leaves onto her fair face.

I feel a little annoyed, but also a little confused.

She didn't know that she looked extremely beautiful like this.

White skirt, sneakers, and slender and well-proportioned calves.

Long eyelashes and slightly messy hair.

Liu Shaowei didn't expect that the scene he met Su Xiaoqi again would be like this.

His family lives nearby.

I made an appointment with some friends to play tennis in the afternoon.

The tennis court was close to his home, so he walked down.

I didn't expect to meet Su Xiaoqi on the roadside.

At first glance, he thought it was a beautiful woman, quite pretty, so he took a second look.

Looking again, I found that it was Su Xiaoqi.

He had never seen her wearing a skirt before, always pants and T-shirts. His current girlfriend Xie Ruan really liked wearing skirts, and every time they met she was almost always wearing a skirt with long flowing hair, looking very sweet.

Although he was amazed by Su Xiaoqi's singing at Huoba last time, and he had some other thoughts in his heart, but in comparison, he felt that Xie Ruan was more suitable for him. The two of them came from similar backgrounds, and Xie Ruan's family background was better. They could play together and have topics to talk about. Xie Ruan was also the kind of girl with long flowing hair that he liked. He couldn't remember why he fell in love with Su Xiaoqi before the college entrance examination. Thinking of Su Xiaoqi's white shoes and school pants that she never changed, he felt that there was something wrong with his aesthetic taste at that time.

But today, on the roadside.

He was stunned.

The person in front of me is Su Xiaoqi. They have been sitting at the same table and studying together for a long time. There is no reason for them not to know each other.

But she is not Su Xiaoqi, she has changed a lot.

After taking off her heavy glasses and changing out of her school uniform, she stood there gracefully. At that moment, she seemed even prettier than Xie Ruan.

He liked the way Xie Ruan dressed up beautifully. After spending some time together, he also discovered that Xie Ruan would put on makeup and touch up her makeup and apply lipstick after meals.

Straight men are always slowly educated to explore the other side of the world starting from the girls around them.

But the Su Xiaoqi in front of him seemed to have changed, yet not changed.

Her hair was still simply tied with a rubber band, her face was still fair, her eyebrows were still the same, not drawn too thin, and she looked a bit heroic. Her lips were also a natural color, without lipstick, and she was not wearing any makeup.

This is the difference that can be distinguished after the straight man Liu Shaowei gets a girlfriend.

She stood there, still plain and simple, without any jewelry on her body, no earrings, necklace or bracelet.

But at this moment, she is really beautiful.

Liu Shaowei was stunned for a long time and wanted to go up and say hello.

At this moment, someone suddenly came out of the hotel.

Several people.

One of them looked like a country boy, wearing a dirty shirt and trousers, with the shirt tucked inside the trousers and a belt.

The confusion on Su Xiaoqi's face disappeared and she smiled widely.

"Uncle, I'm here."

She walked over with a smile on her face and took a large bag of things.

Liu Shaowei took several steps back and moved aside feeling guilty.

Finally, he walked out after watching everyone leave.

In the end, he didn't go to say hello. He felt a little regretful, but not too regretful. He thought that he and she were not from the same world after all. He was about to go to Beijing Normal University, and Su Xiaoqi was going to Enhua College. The gap between them would be even greater in the future.

So there is no need.

Although he thought so, Liu Shaowei was still a little absent-minded when he went to play basketball next time, even though Xie Ruan was cheering him on in a cheerleading skirt.

This boy, who is only eighteen years old, is already more mature than others. He can already weigh the pros and cons, but deep down, he still feels a little regretful and unwilling, probably because he thinks Su Xiaoqi is actually very pretty.

Xiaoqi and his uncle left the hotel and did not go to his great-uncle's house, nor did his great-uncle invite them to go.

When Xiao Qi stood at the door of the hotel, he thought for a while and felt that there was no need for him to care about these things. It was a waste of time, narrowing his horizons and making him petty, which was not good at all.

It is more important to change yourself and work hard on your own. Don’t waste your energy on people who are not worthy.

My uncle's family is just a not-so-good relative. There's no need to get angry. Just stay away from them.

After the banquet, we missed the bus back home, and my uncle planned to walk back.

He drank some wine, but my uncle's alcohol tolerance is better than my father's, and he has no problem drinking half a pound of white wine, so his dark face from years of work only looked a little dark and red, but he was still able to walk well and was sober.

"Uncle, let me accompany you to the bus station."

To walk home, you need to take a bus from Lushan City to Huanghe Town. To get to the town, you need to go to the bus station.

My uncle nodded. After drinking, he was more lively than usual and no longer looked silly.

He seemed very happy.

After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Qi, my cousin said today that his dry cleaning shop needs a driver to deliver clothes. He asked me to take a driver's license test, saying that I can go to work after I pass the test."

Xiao Qi immediately felt that it was unreliable because of how drunk his cousin was today.

Moreover, my uncle's family has not been of much help over the years. They just ask people to do work and treat them as free labor.

People in the business world speak very casually.

But looking at my uncle's excited face, it seems that he wants to go.

"Sure, uncle can go and learn to drive first. Once you pass the test, if your cousin doesn't need anyone, other places will be fine."

"Do you think it's okay too? I actually wanted to learn how to drive a long time ago, but your grandma disagreed, saying it was too dangerous to drive. But this time it was your cousin from your uncle's family who suggested it, so your grandma will definitely agree. Xiaoqi, just wait, when I learn how to drive, I will drive you to the station when you go to college." The uncle said with a happy expression.

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "It's settled then. The driver's license test should take quite a while. When I come back from university, you can drive to the station to pick me up."

The two walked to the bus station together, and Xiaoqi bought a ticket for his uncle.

My uncle was quite embarrassed.

"It's okay. I'm a tutor and I have an income."

"My sister-in-law said that you are very capable and more successful than our family."

It was rare for her uncle to praise her so seriously, and Xiaoqi felt a little embarrassed.

After sending my uncle on the bus, the minibus started to sway away and my uncle also stuck his head out.

Then he shouted, "I'll tell your grandma I'm going to learn how to drive when I get home. I'll pick you up when I learn."

Xiao Qi nodded, and waved again for fear that he couldn't see clearly.
