And she's an only child! Both her parents work – one in the propaganda department, the other in a research institute – both good jobs. Their monthly income is enough to support more than ten people; how could they not live a comfortable life?
She had never seen Xiao Xue wear patched clothes.
Who wouldn't be envious of such conditions?
Moreover, judging by Xiao Xue's face alone, even if Xiao Xue's family were struggling financially and couldn't afford to eat, there would still be plenty of men who would want to marry her and take her home to serve.
If her son were to turn eighteen now, she would do anything to get Xiao Xue as her daughter-in-law.
Xue Fu was stunned, then sighed helplessly.
Xue Fu knew Zhou Huiling, the eldest sister. She liked to play matchmaker for young people.
She was the matchmaker for two young couples at their newspaper alone.
Moreover, it wasn't just their newspaper office; Sister Zhou also organized social events for other organizations on the same street as their newspaper office.
After all, in terms of the gender ratio at their newspaper, it's 3:7, with more women than men. Other organizations, however, have more men than women.
Xue Fu just didn't expect that Sister Zhou would bring it up with her.
Taking a quiet breath, Xue Fu calmly said, "Sister Zhou, I have a boyfriend."
Sister Zhou was still picking at her food and chewing her rice. She subconsciously assumed that Xue Fu, the young woman, was single.
If she has a boyfriend, then why hasn't her boyfriend picked her up from get off work in the two months Xue Fu has been working at the newspaper? That's incredibly irresponsible.
Such a beautiful partner, how can you not cherish him?
Are you so carefree that you don't check up on me? Aren't you afraid someone else will steal your partner?
Sister Zhou never imagined that Xue Fu had a boyfriend.
Zhou Huiling was so surprised that she almost dropped the chopsticks she was holding onto the table.
Sister Zhou stared blankly at Xue Fu, her mouth opening and closing as she spoke: "!"
"What!"
Sister Zhou suddenly raised her voice: "Xiao Xue, you have a boyfriend!"
The people sitting around them in the cafeteria all looked over, glancing left and right between Xue Fu and Sister Zhou, and finally all their eyes fell on Xue Fu's face.
Xue Fu: "..."
Smile.
Sister Zhou realized her lapse in composure, chuckled at Xue Fu, and told her not to mind.
Then she impatiently waved her hand at the others next door, telling them to turn back and stop watching.
"I was just asking, I didn't mean anything by it, Xiao Xue, don't mind me. You know your sister Zhou likes to gossip and such."
"Don't be angry with me."
Xue Fu pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, "Mm." People can't shut their mouths; they can't stop them from talking.
Besides, Sister Zhou had already said all that, so it wouldn't be right for her not to give her a way out, since they were colleagues who saw each other every day.
It wasn't that other people had asked Xue Fu if she had a boyfriend before, but those were all casual conversations that came up unintentionally.
Xue Fu didn't hide the fact that she had a boyfriend.
Xue Fu assumed that, given how quickly everyone was gossiping, everyone else already knew about it.
Unexpectedly, there were still some who slipped through the net.
After finishing lunch, Xue Fu returned to her office.
Sister Zhou felt sorry for him.
I wonder what kind of person Xue Fu has taken a liking to, and how outstanding he must be for her to agree to be her boyfriend.
The young men at the newspaper office are going to be heartbroken.
Sister Zhou sighed inwardly, shook her head, washed the lunchbox, and went downstairs.
During her lunch break, she wanted to talk to her sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Zhao, because she had to work overtime at the newspaper office that night and needed her sister-in-law to cook dinner.
Her sister-in-law works at the Transportation Bureau, which is just two alleys away; they're very close.
As she went downstairs, Sister Zhou caught sight of a few young women chatting at the front desk. She immediately spotted Wang Qing, who was covering her mouth and shyly teasing her, and her mind started racing again.
Wang Qing isn't bad either.
Although the little girl wasn't as outstanding or beautiful as Xue Fu upstairs, she was still pretty and charming, with delicate features. She was quite lively and a good girl.
I don't know if I have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
With her thoughts in mind, Sister Zhou walked towards the front desk with a smile.
"Little Wang."
"Hey, I'm here. What's up, Sister Zhou?"
Wang Qing turned around, feeling a little lost, wondering why Sister Zhou wanted to see her. She didn't recall having any work to discuss with Sister Zhou.
"It's like this..." Sister Zhou's smile made Wang Qing's eyelids twitch. Sure enough, the next sentence was, "Does Xiao Wang have a boyfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? I know a few good young men here. They graduated from high school and have good jobs. I guarantee they can support a family well."
Wang Qing: "?!"
Sure enough... Sister Zhou is still Sister Zhou, she's still got that matchmaking ambition.
"Sister Zhou, I have a boyfriend." Wang Qing blushed slightly and spoke softly, feeling a little shy.
She'd only been dating her boyfriend for a few days, and she was still very shy.
Sister Zhou's words were cut off again: ":
"How come you young people all have partners?"
Wang Qing blushed even more and smiled shyly.
Sister Zhou shook her head, sighed, and walked out.
Xue Fu returned to her office.
The newspaper office has a two-hour lunch break, from noon to 2 p.m.
Xue Fu usually uses her lunch break to study.
She's making great progress in her studies; she's just finished all her subjects and completed one round of review.
She'll be starting her second round of review next week. She'll be focusing on politics and history again, filling in any gaps in her knowledge.
Xue Fu took out her study materials for the day from her bag, but instead of starting to work on the problems, she flipped through the pages and took out a letter from between the pages.
This was a letter Gu Chong sent on Monday. She only received it today when she passed by the post office on her way to work. She spent the whole morning proofreading and typesetting it, and Xue Fu hasn't had a chance to read the contents of the letter yet.
However, Xue Fu could guess what Gu Chong had written.
The first letter Gu Chong sent after returning in April laid the foundation for the content of his subsequent letters.
Gu Chong was originally a quiet and reserved person who wasn't good at sweet talk, so his way of expressing his longing in letters was even more subtle and implicit.
The first letter Gu Chong sent contained two sheets of paper.
When Xue Fu opened the letter, her heart skipped a beat. She wondered if Gu Chong had finally figured things out and had learned to be cheesy.
When she unfolded the first letter, Xue Fu even wondered if Gu Chong had picked up the wrong letter when he sent it.
Why did he send his own account books over?
Expenses for the second week of April:
1. On April 11th, I bought rice and flour, which cost 1.8 yuan, and 5 jin of grain coupons.
2. On April 13th, Xiao Fei bought stationery and gave two cents.
