Chapter 118 Relationship Consultation
Ai Xiaoxia didn't expect Li Wensong to be so old. It seemed that his stepmother had abused him severely, making him look much thinner than his peers. However, being older was also a good thing, as he would be able to get an ID card soon.
Of course, she also felt that what Li Wensong said made sense. It seemed that the child was more mature mentally than he appeared.
So Ai Xiaoxia said, "I think Wensong's idea is fine. He can start his apprenticeship early, but he still has to take the junior high school graduation exam." After saying that, she turned around and asked Li Wensong, "What do you want to learn as an apprentice?"
Li Wensong scratched his head and said, "I want to learn how to repair motorcycles. I see there are a lot of people repairing motorcycles in the village."
Ai Xiaoxia thought car repair was a good option: "How about this, you stay at your aunt's house for a few days and chat with her. Your brother and I will go back to the city to find an apprenticeship for you and come back to pick you up. We'll learn both motorcycles and cars. It's always good to learn more. Whether you work on your own or work for someone else, you'll have some skills."
She didn't want to take Li Wensong directly to her home in the city. After all, it would be inconvenient for this young boy to stay at home, and she also wanted him to accompany her mother-in-law Li Shaofen.
Li Wensong nodded: "Then I will follow my cousin's arrangements."
Soon they returned home. Lu Jingyuan was very happy to see Li Wensong back again: "Wensong, why are you back again?"
Li Wensong said, "My cousin and his wife said they would find a place for me to be an apprentice, so they asked me to come back with them." He was used to calling Lu Jingshen "cousin" and Lu Jingyuan "little cousin" to distinguish them.
Lu Jingyuan happily helped Li Wensong carry his things: "Then you can stay at my house for a few days. I have winter vacation in a week."
Li Wensong nodded. "Well, I can stay here for a few days, but you have exams coming up, and I can't hang out with you every day. It won't affect your studies."
Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu also came out at this time, and Lu Jingshen asked everyone to go into the house to discuss in detail.
After entering the house, Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia told their family about what happened today and the arrangements they had in mind.
Lu Guojiu said to Li Wensong, "Wensong, just stay here for the next few days. You've suffered so much, and things will get better in the future."
Li Wensong said to Lu Guojiu gratefully, "Thank you, uncle."
Li Shaofen smiled and said, "Okay, I feel relieved now. Don't think too much about it. I'm going to take you shopping for clothes and shoes these days. This cotton-padded jacket is so transparent, can it keep you warm?"
Li Wensong rarely received such care and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, auntie. I will definitely be filial to you and your uncle in the future."
Li Shaofen nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, good boy."
While everyone was talking lively in the room, someone knocked on the door.
Ai Xiaoxia happened to be at the door. She walked out and saw that it was Dr. Feng Ying from the hospital. She was a little surprised: "Doctor Feng? Is there something wrong with my cousin?"
Feng Ying quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I have something to talk to you about."
Ai Xiaoxia still couldn't figure out what Feng Ying wanted to talk to her about. At this time, Lu Jingshen also came out: "Doctor Feng is here, please come in."
Feng Ying held a net bag filled with some fruits and canned goods and handed it to Lu Jingshen: "These are for uncle and auntie. I won't go in. I want to talk to Xiaoxia alone. Is that okay?"
Lu Jingshen took the things. Since they had brought them, there was no way he would refuse them. He would just exchange gifts in the future.
He thanked Feng Ying, then looked at Ai Xiaoxia: "Why don't you and Doctor Feng go to our room to talk?"
Ai Xiaoxia thought about it and felt restrained at home. Feng Ying's expression made it seem like she had something she didn't want others to hear, so she said to Lu Jingshen, "I'd better go out for a walk with Doctor Feng. It's a nice day today."
Lu Jingshen knew that Ai Xiaoxia wanted to go out: "Okay, then you go out and talk. Doctor Feng, please come to our house when you are free in the future."
Feng Ying nodded and said, "I will definitely do that next time. I won't bother you today."
Ai Xiaoxia waved to Lu Jingshen and said, "I'll be back soon." Then she went out with Feng Ying.
Lu Jingshen took his things and went into the house. He knew that couples also needed space.
Ai Xiaoxia and Feng Ying left the yard and walked towards the school.
After walking for a while, Feng Ying spoke first: "Xiao Xia, I'm really sorry for asking you out so presumptuously. I really have no other choice. I can think of only you who can help me with this."
Ai Xiaoxia really couldn't think of how she could help Feng Ying, after all, they were not very familiar with each other.
But she had helped Lu Lin before, and Ai Xiaoxia remembered this favor, so no matter what Feng Ying asked her to do, as long as it was within her ability, she was willing to help.
"It's okay. Since you think of me, it means you trust me. Just tell me if you have anything to say." Ai Xiaoxia said.
Feng Ying's face flushed slightly: "I don't know how to start this conversation."
Ai Xiaoxia guessed it might be a relationship issue: "It's just the two of us now, just talk about whatever comes to mind, it's okay."
Feng Ying rubbed her hands, feeling a bit shy. She lowered her head and said, "I like your cousin Jiang Qingru. I hinted to him but he didn't seem to understand. I'm a woman, so I can't be too explicit, right?"
Hearing this, Ai Xiaoxia laughed: "My cousin seems quite smart, why is he so slow about this?"
"I'm actually not sure now. Is he just pretending not to understand to save my face because he doesn't like me, or is he really not understanding what I mean?"
"Then I'll go and sound him out tonight. But Doctor Feng, my cousin only has two years of experience in the countryside. He'll eventually move to the city. Are you prepared to leave the countryside? Or maybe even have a long-distance relationship or marriage. These aren't easy, especially for doctors who are constantly on duty, you know."
"Well, I really didn't expect this. I thought he would stay in the countryside."
"Do you still think you two are suitable for each other? He is a very ambitious man. If you are with him, your future life may not be so comfortable, but you should have a good future." Ai Xiaoxia said everything she could think of. After all, this was not just a simple love affair.
Feng Ying was silent for a moment. "These are things I hadn't thought of before. I'm already 25 years old, so I don't dare to take some risks. But this is the first time I've been moved. My family arranged so many blind dates for me before, but I didn't feel anything. Only your cousin made me fall in love at first sight."
Ai Xiaoxia also knew that Feng Ying was a very rational person. In fact, he and Jiang Qingru were quite compatible in this respect. They were both people with plans, not the type who lived one day at a time.
She said, "Then you should carefully examine your heart. If you have really thought it through, I will help you because you are a good person and a good woman. I also hope that my cousin can find a wife as good as you."
Feng Ying looked at Ai Xiaoxia and smiled. "I didn't expect you to see things so clearly at such a young age. Thank you for telling me all this. I also want to thank you for asking your cousin to bring me the bag that time. I like it very much."
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled: "If you like it, I will do it for you later. Even if we don't talk about our relationship as cousin, I am willing to be your friend."
"I'm also honored to be your friend. Let's visit each other more often in the future."
"Well, when I come back and have free time, I will go to the hospital to see you."
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back soon. Your husband is really good to you, and there's light in his eyes when he looks at you."
"Really? How come I didn't notice?"
"That's because you watch it every day."
Ai Xiaoxia was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Then I'll go back. By the way, my cousin has my city's phone number. If you need anything, call me."
Feng Ying agreed and said, "I understand. Let's get in touch later."
