Chapter 157 Do You Love My Brother?
Li Guixiang wiped her tears and said, "You are still so polite to grandma! Come on, let's all go inside! It's cold outside."
As she said that, she turned around and glanced at Zhao Huaian, "Huaian, please stay and have dinner before going home."
Zhao Huaian couldn't ask for more, "Thank you, grandma!"
Zhong Zhiyang was stunned for a moment, "Second sister, what are you two doing?"
"Go away! Stop meddling in other people's business!" Zhong Xuexi acted like an elder. "Hurry up and get all the things in. I'm starving to death!"
Zhong Zhiyang smiled and said, "I cooked and there are two dishes left. Have some soup to fill your stomach first!"
On the way back, Li Guixiang heard Lin Ziqiu and the others talk a lot about Zhong Zhiyang.
Lin Ziqiu also advised her, "Grandma, I know you love your grandson, but he is not young anymore, it's time to let him go and let him be on his own. You can't do everything for him. This is not loving him, but hurting him, and making him develop the bad habit of having everything he wants."
"Like father, like son. He should be a man of integrity. He should take good care of the family. It's time for you to take a rest and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren!"
Not only her, Ruan Qing and Zhong Xuexi also tried to persuade her.
As the only male comrade, Zhao Huaian convinced Li Guixiang with just two simple sentences.
"Why do you think he broke up with that girl outside? If Zhong Zhiyang continues to be incompetent, he really won't be able to find a wife in the future."
This is really a hit to the heart! ! !
Li Guixiang touched Zhong Zhiyang's head with satisfaction, her eyes full of kindness, "Okay! Then let grandma taste our Zhiyang's cooking skills!"
Lin Ziqiu arrived late when the food was served.
Ruan Qing bought a lot of things, but she couldn't carry them by herself, so Lin Ziqiu helped her deliver them to the suburbs. Now she is back riding Ruan Qing's bicycle.
The two children, Zhong Niannian and Zhong Siyu, did not go home with them.
Li Guixiang was originally worried, but Zhong Xueyuan planned to stay in the capital for the New Year this year. If she was alone here, it would be better to leave the two children behind to have some fun.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you!"
Zhong Xuexi pulled her into the house, "Look! This big table was all made by Zhiyang. Now his cooking skills are better than our grandmother's!"
Lin Ziqiu sat down, and before she could say anything, Zhong Zhiyang on the opposite side said, "Second sister, you can't compare my cooking skills with grandma, aren't you hurting grandma's heart?"
"You little brat! Stop trying to sow discord!" Zhong Xuexi quickly tried to make amends, "I meant to say that the disciple is better than the master, do you understand?"
Zhong Zhiyang made a face at her.
Li Guixiang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat for Zhong Zhiyang. "You should reflect on yourself. Zhiyang is more capable than you. Girls can't do anything. When you get married, you will be disliked by your in-laws."
Zhong Xuexi wrinkled her nose and retorted: "I married to choose the lover who I would spend the rest of my life with, not to be a servant in someone's house."
"Before I got married, did they not cook or eat? Why after I got married, it seems like cooking and doing housework are all my responsibility."
Zhong Xuexi is a well-educated person who has received higher education and has been educated. In addition, she has not suffered much hardship at home since childhood, so her thinking is more advanced and independent than many traditional people of this era.
Li Guixiang choked and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just hope you can learn a little bit about everything. That will be good for you."
She has worked hard all her life, just hoping that her children will be well.
Zhao Huaian said, "Xuexi didn't have to do anything before she married me. If I let her live a worse life after she married me, it would only prove that I am incompetent. Don't worry, Xuexi will enjoy happiness when she marries me, not a hard life."
He couldn't help but look at the girl beside him, and found that she was also looking at him. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy, his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
Zhong Xuexi's eyelashes trembled slightly, unable to hide the shock in her heart.
The love that could not be hidden in the man's eyes grew wildly, and Zhong Xuexi felt a hint of sweetness belatedly growing from the bottom of her heart.
She had always known what Zhao Huaian was thinking, but at this moment, his words made the self who once had a crush on Wei Zhihe seem particularly insignificant.
It's even a little ridiculous.
My liking for Wei Zhihe is mixed with childhood admiration and respect.
At that time, Wei Zhihe and his elder brother Zhong Heyang were called the "two heroes" by their group of young people from the compound.
But the eldest brother was serious and rigid, and Zhong Xuexi was always afraid of him.
But Wei Zhihe was different. He was gentle and polite. Whenever her elder brother punished her, he would smile gently and help her out.
From then on, she secretly vowed that she would marry Brother Zhihe in the future.
And she only told this secret to her eldest sister Zhong Xueyuan.
So what exactly does she like about Wei Zhihe?
It was worth it for her to endure this secret love for decades, even at the cost of hurting her relatives.
Zhong Xuexi realized later that it was not Wei Zhihe that she liked, but her obsession with not being able to get him was at work.
It’s like a pen that you really wanted when you were a kid. When you couldn’t have it, you kept thinking about it. But when you grew up and got it, you realized that it was just like that.
It was Wei Zhihe's family background and his disguised appearance that made him a leader in the eyes of everyone.
In fact, beneath that seemingly gentle appearance lies an extremely dirty face.
Zhao Huaian is different. He fell in love at first sight when he was a child, deliberately "bullied" her without knowing how to express it, and made an unwavering choice no matter how good or bad she was.
His love is strong and passionate.
The burning flames burned her silent and closed heart.
Lin Ziqiu sensed the cloying pink bubble-like atmosphere between the two of them and couldn't help but joked, "I haven't even taken a few bites of the meal, and I'm already full of dog food."
Being teased by her, Zhong Xuexi's face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato, and even the tips of her ears were stained with crimson, "Sister-in-law!"
Since I went to the capital, I learned a lot of new words from Ruan Qing that I had never heard before.
Li Guixiang smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"
After the meal, Zhong Xuexi sent Zhao Huaian away and was called into the house by her grandmother to talk.
"Xue Xi, tell grandma the truth, are you serious about being with Huai An? Are you thinking of changing someone out of spite because of Wei Zhihe's incident?"
Zhong Xuexi's eyes were firm, "Grandma, I assure you that I agreed to be with him after serious consideration. It was not an impulse or a fit of anger."
Lin Ziqiu asked a soul-searching question, "Do you love him?"
Zhong Xuexi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her hand to cover her heart, her tone revealing attachment, "I don't know if this counts as love, but as long as I'm with him, I feel safe and happy."
