Zhou Xiang said to Luo Xiaoqing: "Luo Xiaoqing, you go first, I have something to say to her."
Luo Xiaoqing nodded and left.
Li Li was a little uneasy, "What's wrong?"
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, weren't you in the market town?"
“Yes!”
"Did you see the Lantern Festival?"
"I saw it."
Zhou Xiang said seriously and solemnly, "Li Li, you are not suitable for Zuo Heng. Don't say you like him so easily."
"Why? Is there someone he likes?"
Zhou Xiang stopped and looked deep into her eyes, which showed sadness and sorrow. However, time is the best medicine to heal pain.
"You are very selfish. You only care about yourself. You don't care about others. You don't see or understand your parents, your grandparents, and even your cousin.
Let’s not talk about all these for now. Liking someone is not something you can just say, and it doesn’t mean that you have to like others as well.
Just because you like Zuo Heng doesn't mean he has to like you. He's been through a lot, and what he needs is care and concern. Someone like you, who's so delicate, jealous, and superficial, will only bring him trouble and sorrow, not happiness or joy.
Li Li's eyes were filled with tears. "Zhou Xiang, are we still good friends?"
"You should ask yourself this. Being a good friend doesn't mean you have to go along with you and make you happy. Honest advice is hard to hear, and you only listen to what you want to hear and what you like to hear. I can't do that. My advice to you is sincere, and I don't know whether you will listen to it or not.
The last sentence is, if you insist on liking her, you must change yourself. The considerate Jieyuhua is the one who is right for him."
After Zhou Xiang finished speaking, he raised his leg and left.
Li Li cried all the way home. Zhang Ning happened to be there. Seeing the delicate girl crying, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Who offended you?"
Thinking of what Zhou Xiang had said before, and her belief that Zuo Heng liked someone else, she felt so hurt that she had no place to vent, so she told her cousin what Zhou Xiang had said to her.
Zhang Ning thought about it again and asked, "Do you like a boy?"
Li Li nodded.
"Zhou wants to meet?"
"Um!"
"What's the boy's family background?"
Li Li hesitated for a moment, "Orphan."
Zhang Ning nodded, "Zhou Xiang is right. You are not suitable for that person. You are an orphan with a fragile and sensitive heart. You are a spoiled child who likes to throw tantrums and don't care about other people's feelings. You will hurt his heart when you are not careful. So Zhou Xiang is right to say that there will be no happiness.
Let me not talk about anything else, just one thing, you asked Zhou Xiang if you were good friends. This question has hurt Zhou Xiang, who was thinking about you and that boy.
You are really selfish. You only speak for yourself and don't consider others. Others are not your family, so there is no need for them to agree with you in everything.
You should reflect on yourself! I can’t stand you anymore. If I stay with you, I will beat you up.”
After Zhang Ning finished speaking, she quickly left her room. Her cousin had been spoiled by her aunt and her family.
Li Li was dumbfounded. Zhou Xiang and her cousin both said this to her. Was she really a very selfish person?
Zhou Xiang returned to his new home and smiled when he saw a group of people in the yard.
"Are you here to congratulate someone on their new home? Did you bring any gifts?"
Zhong Xiong shook his sleeves and said, "I have a clean conscience."
"I can see that you are just here to eat for free."
"Yes, that's absolutely right."
Zhou Xiang walked into the house and saw his second sister and brother-in-law. "You are here too? Is my dad here?"
Zhou Yu nodded, "Yes! Dad said he had to come and see me to make sure I was at ease. I'm in the kitchen, stewing fish for you!"
"It smells sour."
Zhou Yu shook his head, "I didn't smell it."
"Did you smell it, brother-in-law?"
Zhu Hang shook his head.
"Brother-in-law, you have no principles."
Zhou Xiang went back to the room, put down his schoolbag, sat next to his second sister, and looked at her belly. "How do you feel recently?"
“No feeling.”
"Only three months." Zhu Hang replied.
Zhou wanted to sigh, but he didn't dare to say it directly, as the answer from the pair of idiot parents was completely irrelevant.
"Forget it, I'm going to go to the pot room to see dad."
Seeing his father waving the spatula, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Chef Dad, I'm in for a treat today."
As Zhou's mother added firewood, she replied, "Your father brought some pickled fish from the market town."
"Thank you, Dad!"
Father Zhou shook his head. "You do so much for our family, and this is not worth your thanks."
"It's worth it. Dad remembers what I like to eat. My second sister is jealous."
Father Zhou immediately smiled.
Mother Zhou felt relieved when she saw this. Since she had beaten the woman from the Shi family that day, her little girl had become much more cheerful.
Move here, it’s the right place.
Zhou Xiang went into the inner room of the kitchen, which was a storage room. He found a teacup and a small knife, and a fruit appeared in his hand. He peeled the fruit and scraped the flesh with the knife. The juice flowed along the knife edge into the teacup.
With a flip of his hand, everything in his hand disappeared. He took the teacup and went out, filling it half with boiling water.
"Second sister, come here and have some hot drink. It's a little hot, so drink it slowly."
If you don't explain it, and someone does it all at once, it will be a big disaster.
When Zhou Xiang heard the word hot drink, he immediately knew it was something good, and he also understood what his sister had asked just now.
"Thank you, sister."
For lunch, everyone crowded into the main room. Twelve people sat at the octagonal table. Zhou Xiang stood behind his eldest brother, waiting for him to serve him some food.
Father Zhou looked at the big table and sighed, "This table is obviously made big on purpose. It can squeeze a whole family."
Zhong Xiong disagreed, "Uncle Zhou, we are still single. When we have wives and children, we can get two more this big."
Zhou Xiang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Don't worry, the dining room and table in the new building will definitely be able to accommodate your wife and children."
"Aunt Jiang, you have to pay attention to me. I'm almost 28."
"Don't worry, I've got it in mind! My primary goal this year is to get you four out of singlehood."
"Getting out of singlehood? Yeah! That's a pretty fitting term. I've been waiting for this. Chen Ou and the boss are showing off in front of us every day, and I can't beat them up."
Wu Haotian patted him and said, "You are so brave, boss, do you want to beat me too?"
"I said, I don't dare!"
"No, you mean you want to hit me, but you don't dare."
Zhong Xiong didn't dare to look at the boss's dark face, and could only yell at Wu Haotian, "Haozi, you tricked me!"
Zhou's father and mother watched them playing and laughed.
After dinner, Zhou wanted to ask Wu Haotian to come aside and talk. "How's Uncle Xiao doing?"
"Uncle Xiao is almost done running. He plans to start after the Spring Festival."
"How much money do you have?"
"More than fifty thousand."
"Don't you have all his expenses in account? I'll get an advance from you for his shop, so I can use the cash I have on hand to build the house."
"good!"
"Where's my second cousin?"
"Very good, now I can stand on my own."
"Then let him do it. When Zuo Heng's father recovers, you will have to take care of him."
"OK."
