Li Weidong knew Zhou Xiaoye well; he knew that the girl was easily frightened and that she definitely wouldn't dare to come over on her own.
But it doesn't seem right for me to go and pick them up myself.
After all, she's still so young. Even if she's engaged, she's still a young woman. If she just swaggers over to find him like this, she'll inevitably be gossiped about by those long-tongued women.
The most appropriate way is to have Li Xiaoli, a classmate, invite you.
Li Xiaoli shook her head: "I don't want to! If you want to call, call it yourself. Why are you asking me?"
My best friend suddenly became my sister-in-law, and she's even being teased about it at school. She's really annoyed about it!
Li Weidong narrowed his eyes: "You don't want that set of the Four Great Classical Novels anymore, do you?"
I don't know when this girl became obsessed with extracurricular books, and she keeps pestering Li Weidong to buy them for her.
Novels were definitely out of the question, so Li Weidong settled for second best and agreed to buy her a set of the Four Great Classical Novels.
Li Xiaoli immediately became anxious: "You promised to buy me the Four Great Classical Novels, you can't go back on your word!"
"But we haven't bought it yet, have we?"
Li Weidong laughed: "If you help me with this, I'll buy the book for you tomorrow. If you don't, then you'll have to wait until after the college entrance exam to buy it!"
Li Xiaoli stomped her feet in anger: "How can this be? He wants his wife but won't go pick her up himself, and he even threatens me! What a jerk!"
"There's nothing I can do, what can I do? I'm your brother."
Li Weidong pulled a five-yuan note from his wallet and waved it: "Will you help or not?"
Li Xiaoli looked at the money, nodded reluctantly, and quickly said, "Then it's a deal, you help me buy the book tomorrow!"
She had wanted to read those four classic novels for a long time, but no one in her class had them yet!
If I watch it myself and then bring it to school, won't all my classmates be so envious?
Li Weidong laughed: "Yes, yes, you'll see it when you come back tomorrow."
the next day.
Zhou Xiaoye arrived early as expected.
I came by bicycle.
"Oh, Ono's here!"
When Zhao Xiulian saw her, she was overjoyed: "Come in quickly, come in quickly."
Then he looked at the bicycle again: "How's it going with this bike? Did you fall? You'd better be careful!"
Zhou Xiaoye nodded, pushing the cart, a blush rising on her pretty face.
She had come before as Li Xiaoli's classmate. Although she was a little reserved when visiting a classmate's home, it wasn't a big problem.
Now, however, she has come as the future daughter-in-law, and upon seeing Zhao Xiulian, she naturally cannot help but feel shy.
Zhao Xiulian noticed her discomfort and quickly said, "Just leave the car over there and come inside! Lili is doing her homework inside. You can come over and supervise her so she doesn't slack off."
Hearing this from inside the house, Li Xiaoli immediately exploded: "Mom, when did I ever slack off!"
"You have the nerve to say that? I told you to finish your homework last night, but you had to drag it out until now. How many words have you written all morning?"
"But I was writing, wasn't I? How was I slacking off?"
The mother and daughter started arguing.
Zhou Xiaoye felt a bit more at ease. He carefully pushed the car aside and was about to go inside when he bumped into Li Weidong.
This was the first time the two had met since their engagement.
Li Weidong remained the same as before, but Zhou Xiaoye had undergone a significant change.
First of all, the patched clothes were replaced with new ones, and not the kind of clothes that were bought a size or even two sizes too big so that they could be worn the following year, but new clothes that fit perfectly.
Secondly, she has grown taller, and her originally sallow and somewhat sunken cheeks have become fuller, and even her dry, yellow hair has become shiny.
The most obvious thing is Zhou Xiaoye's eyes.
In the past, Zhou Xiaoye's eyes were always dull and lifeless, even exuding a heavy, deathly aura.
But now her eyes are much brighter, full of youthful vigor, as well as longing and anticipation for the future.
Li Weidong looked her over, feeling as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
very nice!
In this lifetime, he finally changed Zhou Xiaoye's fate!
To be precise, it wasn't just her fate that changed, but also her entire being.
Today, Zhou Xiaoye exudes a vibrant life force that is pleasing to the eye.
That's wonderful!
Zhou Xiaoye was so embarrassed by Li Weidong's scrutiny that her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
Even her neck was lightly dusted with pink.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, he interrupted Li Weidong's scrutiny, saying, "Brother Weidong..."
Li Weidong suddenly came to his senses and was about to speak when Li Xiaoli suddenly appeared from the side.
"Why are you calling me Brother Weidong?!"
She deliberately drew out her words: "You should call me husband!"
Zhou Xiaoye's face immediately turned even redder.
Li Weidong got impatient and glared at her fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
That brat, she has no sense at all! Can't she see that Zhou Xiaoye is so ashamed she can't lift her head?
But Li Xiaoli only got more and more excited.
"Who said I'm talking nonsense?"
She argued vehemently, "That's how it's portrayed on TV and in books. You're engaged, so you should call him 'husband'!"
"You still dare to talk!"
Li Weidong glanced at Zhou Xiaoye and saw her fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, her head buried in her chest. He decided to use his trump card: "Do you still want the book?"
Li Xiaoli was dumbfounded, and stomped her foot, saying, "Mom, my brother is bullying me again, are you going to do anything about it?!"
Zhao Xiulian picked up her vegetable basket and went out without turning her head: "It's none of my business what you siblings do."
Afraid that she would bring up the topic of 'husband' again, Zhou Xiaoye quickly changed the subject: "What book?"
