"Oh...Xiaoxiao," Li Qiqi's face turned even redder, and she covered her face with her hands and walked towards the clothing counter.
Pointing to the yellow dress hanging there, she said to the salesperson, "Sister, can you please take that dress down so I can have a look?"
The saleswoman who was called sister smiled and took the clothes down swiftly. "Girl, these clothes are shipped from a big city. They are of very good quality."
Li Qiqi rubbed her hands on herself and carefully reached out to touch her clothes.
His eyes were full of admiration, but he seemed a little undecided and turned his gaze to Fu Xiao beside him.
She took a look at the skirt, which was yellow with a white edge, and it was quite suitable for Li Qiqi who had fair skin.
So he nodded in agreement, "It's pretty good, let's buy it."
It was obvious that Li Qiqi was waiting for her nod, and she turned to the salesperson and said, "Sister, please help me get the ticket, I want this one."
"Okay..."
When checking out, Li Qiqi was missing a cloth coupon, so Fu Xiao took out a cloth coupon from his pocket and handed it to her.
Li Qiqi hugged her suddenly, "Xiaoxiao, you are so kind."
"Okay, hurry up and grab your clothes. Let's go eat. We're hungry."
"Then I'll treat you to braised pork. I have enough food coupons."
The two of them went to a state-owned restaurant together and ordered two bowls of noodles and a serving of braised pork.
In the end, Li Qiqi paid for the food coupons, and the money was split equally between the two of them.
When walking back after dinner, Fu Xiao looked at Li Qiqi who was holding the new clothes and smiling non-stop.
Helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "When are you planning to go back to your grandfather's house?"
Li Qiqi smiled and replied: "When my mother has a day off, she will take me there."
She thought about it and said, "Now that you have your diploma, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Ah?" Li Qiqi looked at her blankly, obviously having never thought about this question.
"What kind of job are you going to find?"
Li Qiqi blushed and said, "I might get married soon."
"Your neighbor brother?"
Li Qiqi's head was almost buried in her neck, "Hmm..."
"I remember you said that your neighbor's brother is still working as an educated youth in the countryside."
Li Qiqi nodded blankly.
Alas, she really doesn't know how to comfort people.
But after sitting at the same table for so many years, I still don’t want this girl to be so confused.
He said directly: "I don't know when the educated youth will return to the village. Besides, did he say he wanted to marry you?"
Li Qiqi blinked in confusion and whispered, "But his mother agreed."
Fu Xiao couldn't help rolling his eyes and said helplessly: "What about him? Did he say it himself?"
"Also, didn't I tell you that we don't know when the educated youth will return to the city, how are you going to be together?"
"He's been in the country for so long, what if something unexpected happens..."
Although the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, what if he fails?
What if she passes the exam and dislikes Li Qiqi’s high school diploma?
What if he is a scumbag and already has a lover in the countryside?
Li Qiqi looked at her innocently and whispered, "Brother Hong didn't say he wanted to marry me, but he didn't object when his mother said so. He also wrote to me often and gave me flowers."
My goodness, she never said she wanted to marry you, but you kept saying you were willing.
Looking at the silly look in the girl's eyes, Fu Xiao sighed and said, "Qi Qi, you are only sixteen years old, so let your mother find you a job."
"As for marriage, it's not too late to wait until you're eighteen."
"And..." Fu Xiao whispered meaningfully, "What if the college entrance examination is resumed two years later?"
"Restore the college entrance examination?" Li Qiqi's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. "Is it possible? And my grades are not good, so I won't be able to pass it when the time comes."
"Then you should start preparing from now on."
Fu Xiao smiled and said encouragingly, "Don't you want to be a teacher?"
"Ask your family to find you a job as an elementary school teacher, so you can teach students and review your own lessons..."
"When the college entrance examination is really resumed, it will be easy to apply to a normal school."
Li Qiqi seemed to be a little moved, and said hesitantly: "Then I'll go ask Brother Hong."
Brother Hong?
It's a sissy name, and you can tell from the name that he doesn't sound like a good person.
Now I still think about her neighbor brother...
Love-brained, there's no hope.
Fu Xiao said with a cold face: "Li Qiqi, can't you just listen to me..."
"You are only sixteen years old now. Are you old enough to get married?"
"If your brother Hong really has you in his heart, what's wrong with being two years late?"
Fu Xiao's cold face was indeed quite intimidating.
Li Qiqi shrank her neck and whispered, "That's fine, I'll go back and discuss it with my mom."
"Okay, let's go now," Fu Xiao pulled her and walked towards Li's house.
Mother Li saw the two of them coming back and greeted them with a smile.
"I'm back. Have you bought any clothes?"
"I bought it...Mom, I have something to say." Li Qiqi glanced at Fu Xiao, tugged at the corner of her clothes with both hands, and stammered, unable to speak.
Fu Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart again, stepped out from the side, and said to Mother Li with a smile: "Aunt, it's about Qiqi's work."
Mother Li smiled and pulled the two of them into the room, pouring a glass of sugar water for Fu Xiao.
Smiling, she asked, "Xiaoxiao, tell me what you two talked about."
Fu Xiao smiled politely, "Qi Qi wants to be a teacher, right? I was wondering if you and uncle can help her teach in elementary school first, so that she can review her lessons while teaching. If the college entrance examination is resumed two years later, she can then apply to a normal university..."
