Chapter 126 Li Meili talks about Zhao Xiaojun's partner
"After all, they have been together for a long time. When she was studying, her grades were terrible and I asked her if she was in a relationship. She kept saying no. How can she not be in a relationship now?" Li Meili sneered and said bitterly, "Anyway, I can't control her. Her father doesn't care. She can do whatever she wants. The future is hers, not mine. When we wanted to study, how could we have the conditions? But she is so good. I gritted my teeth to send her to school, but she learns all that mess."
Zhang's mother nodded from time to time and occasionally glanced at Zhang Wanwan. For some reason, Zhang Wanwan always felt her hair stand on end, as if the secret in her heart had been discovered.
Li Meili finally advised earnestly: "Little sister! You must take good care of the children! Don't let them fall in love too early. I regret it so much now!"
Zhao Xiaojun on the side was unhappy and retorted, "Mom, stop instilling some messed up ideas into my aunt. My cousins are very self-conscious! One went to a key high school and the other went to a key university. I think my cousin can find a partner in college now, otherwise he will be busy with work and life events when he goes out into the society, and how can he take care of it? Besides, my cousin looks like a good girl. She will take the college entrance examination next year. She must be a college student. You are not destined to be a college student. Don't talk nonsense."
"You little bitch, are you itching for trouble?" Li Meili raised her hand and was about to slap Zhao Xiaojun, but Zhao Xiaojun slipped away, leaving her empty-handed.
At this time, Zhang's mother turned around and stared at Zhang Baiyan with a warning, "Don't mess around in college. You can date, but you have to find someone reliable. You are my only son, and it's not easy to raise you to this age. What should I do if you get kidnapped?"
Zhang Baiyan, who was drinking tea with Zhang's father and others, looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
Zhang Wanwan gave him a sympathetic look and quietly left. She couldn't withstand Zhang's mother's bombardment.
The county town had not changed much in the spring of 2008. There were not many tall buildings, and the tallest building was no higher than seven floors. The country roads outside were full of the smell of the fields. Zhang Wanwan did not tell anyone else and just wandered around Li Yongfu's house, greedily feeling this last bit of tranquility.
Because starting from this year, housing prices in Pu City have skyrocketed, followed by a series of chain reactions. Almost half of the land in Pu City is busy building high-rise buildings. There are suddenly more apartments with elevators over 20 floors. Old streets and alleys can be demolished or renovated. The county town has also been targeted by developers. In order to achieve political achievements, the government has given those developers many preferential policies. As a result, the county town has undergone earth-shaking changes in less than two or three years.
She remembered that the last time she came to the county town before her rebirth, the village had already been developed. Her uncles moved into the resettlement houses and lived a life like the citizens in Pu City.
At that time, my aunt was still telling Zhang's mother that they should not have gone to the city. They worked hard all their lives but got nothing in the end and the house they lived in was not as good as theirs.
Zhang's mother was already ill at that time. She just smiled palely and did not refute. Zhang Wanwan felt upset, but she couldn't say anything because that family was so heavy that she didn't even have the courage to speak. After living a new life, her mentality changed, but everything is also a thing of the past.
While she was daydreaming, Zhao Xiaojun suddenly stopped beside her on his bicycle.
Zhang Wanwan stopped in surprise, "Cousin? Where are you going?"
Zhao Xiaojun pointed to the back seat and said, "Come on up, I'll take you for a walk. My mom is in menopause and loves to talk nonsense. If she says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart. Just let it go in one ear and out the other."
Zhang Wanwan laughed in her heart, "Sister, I didn't think about anything, I just came out for a walk. After all, I only come here once a year. I can't see such scenery in Pu City anymore. I'm afraid it will be even harder in the future."
"What's the big deal? The county town is full of this kind of scenery. We are in the countryside, there is nothing else here, you can step on the fields as you like! My family has leased those lands, if you want to play in the fields just go to my house, you probably have never been there, we used to roast sweet potatoes and roast chicken and duck eggs there, some chickens and ducks in the village laid eggs outside and we picked them up and they belonged to us. At that time we were like wild children with no one to take care of us, running wild in the fields, now that we have grown up, we have restrained ourselves a little bit."
Zhang Wanwan listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time. She didn't know where Zhao Xiaojun had taken her. When she came to her senses, she found that they had entered an unfamiliar village.
Zhao Xiaojun rode on the village road and whispered, "This is the village where my boyfriend lives. It's close to the sea. We had agreed to bring him to my house on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but my parents said they were going to come to my uncle's place and were not available, so the plan fell through. Humph! I think they just want to embarrass my boyfriend!"
As he spoke, Zhao Xiaojun stopped in front of the gate of a three-story self-built house, looked inside twice, then took out his cell phone to make a call.
Zhang Wanwan was also observing this house. She had to say that Zhao Xiaojun's girlfriend's family was pretty good. At that time, all the capable families in the village had built three-story buildings. This building was obviously newly built. The exterior walls were covered with tiles and the yard was paved with bricks. It looked clean and tidy. Such conditions were indeed much better than those of the Zhao family. She didn't know why Li Meili and her husband were not optimistic.
After Zhao Xiaojun hung up the phone, a thin and dark young man ran out shortly afterwards.
Zhang Wanwan was really scared when she saw him for the first time. If Zhao Xiaojun hadn't said that the man in front of her was her boyfriend, Zhang Wanwan would have thought that he was from the United Arab Emirates. She didn't know how he got his skin that was one degree darker than bronze by the tan. Maybe it was because his skin was too dark, his teeth looked so white when he smiled!
This was what Zhang Wanwan was thinking at the time.
Zhao Xiaojun introduced shyly: "Chen Jie, this is the cousin I told you about before, the former top scorer in the high school entrance examination."
"Wan Wan, this is my boyfriend Chen Jie."
Zhang Wanwan hurriedly called out to him politely. Chen Jie had indeed entered society early and was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Even though Zhang Wanwan was young, she had never been neglected.
He led the two of them into the hall, and Zhao Xiaojun began to call people in a sweet voice. It seemed that this was not her first time here.
Chen's parents liked her very much at first sight, and immediately went to the kitchen to bring over a lot of snacks, and kept letting them eat.
Zhang Wanwan sat obediently, thanking others for giving her things. She looked at the Chen family's house from time to time. Perhaps because they were self-built houses in the countryside, they occupied a relatively large area. The Chen family's living room looked to be nearly 100 square meters, much taller than the suite in Pu City, giving people a feeling of spaciousness. In this way, the TV seemed very small. But apart from these, there was nothing wrong with it. It had everything it should have and was fully decorated. Such a house must be comfortable to live in, but it was too large and not easy to clean.
