Before Li Weidong's car had even come to a complete stop, Zhou Xiaoye had already pounced on the car door.
Under the moonlight, her eyes shone brightly, filled with joy.
Li Weidong frowned: "Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"
"I've been waiting for you!"
Zhou Xiaoye opened the car door and rushed over, hugging him and saying, "Lili said you definitely wouldn't be coming back tonight. I bet her, and I won!"
"I knew it! The college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow, and Brother Weidong, you'd definitely come back tonight!"
Li Weidong felt a little guilty.
To be honest, he's been so busy this month that he completely forgot about it.
If Shen Xiaoyan hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have remembered it until tomorrow.
Thank goodness!
Li Weidong put his arm around Zhou Xiaoye and asked, "What did you bet on?"
"If I win, you have to take me out to play before I go to college, and she can't come along."
Zhou Xiaoye smiled slyly: "She's doomed to lose."
Li Weidong chuckled and shook his head: "Where do you want to travel to?"
Then he changed his mind and said, "It's so late, let's go to sleep first! We can talk about the trip after the college entrance exam."
"Get a good rest today and tomorrow, and strive for a good result the day after tomorrow!"
Zhou Xiaoye nodded obediently, but blushed and said coquettishly, "Carry me inside."
Perhaps because Zhao Xiulian and Li Xiaoli were both asleep, she was unusually bold.
Li Weidong was aroused by her charm and tapped her nose: "You!"
He said this, but still picked her up in his arms.
Zhou Xiaoye hugged his neck tightly, tilted her head, and asked, "Am I heavy?"
She lived with the Li family for more than a year. Because she was well-nourished and didn't do farm work, she grew taller and gained weight.
She was starting to worry that Li Weidong would look down on her.
Li Weidong smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not heavy. It's just right now, but I'd like it if it were a little fatter."
Hearing the word "I like you" made Zhou Xiaoye blush and shyly bury herself in Li Weidong's arms.
Under the moonlight, a couple of lovers nestled together, becoming one.
...
the next day.
Li Weidong made a special trip to Shen Xiaoyan and Zhang Bin, telling them that he wouldn't go to the company, but instead would stay home with Zhou Xiaoye.
Zhou Xiaoye and Li Xiaoli were also a little nervous, and started reading as soon as they got up.
"Stop looking, let's go play in the mountains."
Li Weidong snatched the books from both of them.
Zhao Xiulian immediately became anxious: "The college entrance exam is tomorrow! Why go to the mountains? Stay home and study more; you might even get a few more points!"
Although she wasn't highly educated, she understood the importance of the college entrance examination.
If you can get into university, it will be a great honor that will bring pride to your ancestors.
Zhou Xiaoye nodded in agreement: "Brother Weidong, I want to study a little longer. Let's go play after the exam!"
"You've already studied for the entire senior year of high school, one more day won't make a difference."
Li Weidong laughed and said, "You guys have been so distracted since you woke up this morning, your minds are so tense. How can you expect to get good grades tomorrow?"
"Go out and relax. When you're relaxed, you'll be more confident during the exam."
Having said that, he shook the basket in his hand: "The wild raspberries are ripe now, are you really not going?"
The prickly pear is a wild fruit similar to a strawberry. When ripe, it is bright red, fragrant, sweet, and delicious.
Li Xiaoli immediately perked up: "Go! I want to go!"
Then he went to Zhou Xiaoye and said, "Xiaoye, let's go!"
"I haven't even eaten prickly pears this year. Anyway, I'm too stressed to study at home, so I might as well go out and relax."
Zhou Xiaoye was also somewhat tempted, so he agreed.
Zhao Xiulian shook her head helplessly: "You guys can have fun all you want, but you have to take the exam seriously. If anyone doesn't do well, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, he took out a straw hat: "The sun is very strong, put on this hat, or you'll get heatstroke."
Zhou Xiaoye and Li Xiaoli exchanged a glance, then laughed in unison and cheered, "Let's go out and play!"
After all, she's still a teenage girl, and her playful nature hasn't faded. She's been suppressed for a year because of her senior year of high school, so she's naturally very excited to have this rare opportunity to relax.
Li Weidong carried a bamboo basket and led the two up the mountain, where they had a great time.
The mountains in June are lush and green, and it's the season for all kinds of wild fruits.
They have everything from prickly pear mushrooms and berries to wild cherries.
The two young women were having a blast in the mountains, eating all sorts of wild fruits and running all over the place, their laughter and playful shouts echoing throughout the entire mountain.
Li Weidong followed behind the two, a smile never fading from his lips.
The three of them didn't return home until the sun was setting.
A basket full of wild berries, incredibly tempting.
Zhao Xiulian had already prepared chicken soup at home, and the aroma was enticing even before she entered the door.
"It smells so good!"
Li Xiaoli rushed in: "Mom, is there chicken soup tonight?"
"You greedy girl, you finally know how to come home?"
Zhao Xiulian scolded, "You've been out having fun for ages, I don't even know what time it is. If you don't come back soon, I'm going to come looking for you."
"Alright, wash your hands and eat. I killed the biggest old hen in the house and stewed it all afternoon!"
"Eat well tonight, so you can get good grades tomorrow!"
Li Xiaoli cheered and went to wash her hands.
Zhou Xiaoye tiptoed over and stuffed a ripe cherry into Zhao Xiulian's mouth.
"What is that..."
Zhao Xiulian was startled, but after the sweet taste filled her mouth, she immediately beamed with joy: "It's cherry season again, so sweet."
"Auntie, we've picked so many!"
Zhou Xiaoye proudly presented the basket of wild fruits, saying, "Besides cherries, there are also lots of prickly berries!"
Zhao Xiulian smiled kindly: "Alright, alright, go wash your hands!"
That night, perhaps because they were tired from playing on the mountain, Zhou Xiaohong and Li Xiaoli washed up and went to bed early.
Li Weidong, however, couldn't sleep and sat in the courtyard to cool off.
Zhao Xiulian came out and teased, "What's wrong? Your sister and the others aren't nervous about the college entrance exam, but you're the one who's nervous?"
Li Weidong lit a cigarette and sighed, "Xiao Ye works very hard. If she doesn't do well on the exam, she will definitely blame herself."
Over the past year, Zhou Xiaoye seemed to have completely integrated into the Li family, but he knew in his heart that the girl was very proud!
She definitely wouldn't be able to accept the blow if she didn't get into a good university through the college entrance exam.
Zhao Xiulian shook her head: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. There's no use in rushing. Go to sleep!"
"I need you to take them to school first thing tomorrow morning!"
Li Weidong understood this principle, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and nodded, saying, "Yes."
The next morning, Zhao Xiulian got up before dawn and prepared breakfast.
Just before leaving, she changed into a bright red cheongsam.
Li Xiaoli and Zhou Xiaoye were both stunned.
Li Weidong laughed: "I made this especially for my mom, it symbolizes a successful start."
"Hey, you two high school seniors, let's go, it's time to head to the exam hall!"
