The next day, Zhao Li ran to Song Jinxiu's counter early in the morning and took out a small box for her.
"Look at me, I missed something yesterday. Here is a matching bracelet." Inside the box was a pink pearl bracelet with a small jade rabbit in the middle.
The overall look is delicate and compact.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. I hope you don't mind this worthless little thing!" After saying that, he handed the box forward and turned away, leaving no chance for anyone to refuse.
"Why do I feel like he is trying to trick me?" Song Jinxiu said while playing with the bracelet in the box!
"Aunt Zhou, why are you here!" When I got home from get off work, I found Aunt Zhou standing at the door.
"Come here and I'm asking you to have dinner together!" Aunt Zhou said with a smile.
"It's great that I can be lazy again today!" Song Jinxiu pushed the car into the yard and said as she walked.
"Look at how lazy you are. If someone didn't know you, they would think you are very busy." Aunt Zhou came in from behind and said.
"Your yard is quite big!" Aunt Zhou said. "I'll grab a couple of watermelons to eat later! You know what, the watermelons in the village are ripening. They're not very big, but they're all very sweet!"
"Where's the watermelon? Why didn't you bring any for me?" Song Jinxiu looked back and made sure that Aunt Zhou came empty-handed.
"You little greedy cat, don't you have one here? The watermelons in the village bear fruit slowly, so I eat the first batch that grows out. I'll pull out the next batch for you." Aunt Zhou said!
"I only have so much, how can I compare with the villagers?" Song Jinxiu said. "I'm just waiting for the watermelons in the village to ripen so I can go back and pick some of them.
I'll go to each farm and pick up two, treating everyone equally! Hahahaha!!"
The two of them chatted and laughed, and after school, Liu Ankang and the other guy went to Aunt Cuihua's house together.
Because going to Aunt Cuihua's house requires passing by Song Jinxiu's house, Jin Heping and Liu Ankang often go home together unless one of them has something to do.
"Stay at our house tonight. Our rooms are all ready." Song Jinxiu said to Aunt Zhou.
"I'm not going. Should I go to your place and help you with the work? You two should go to work or go to school. I'll be so bored at home alone!" said Aunt Zhou.
"That's right, if your Aunt Zhou can live with me, we two old sisters can have a good chat!" Aunt Cuihua also said.
"How can it be the same? When you are at my aunt's place, you have to call me Sister Cuihua, but it's different when you go to my place..." Song Jinxiu was interrupted by Aunt Zhou before she could finish her words.
"When I went to your place, I was promoted directly, from a younger sister to a nanny, specializing in helping you with housework, right?" Aunt Zhou interrupted.
"Listen to what you are saying. If you get promoted to the next level, you will become the Empress Dowager. If you come to my place, I will definitely treat you to delicious food and drinks!" Song Jinxiu said unconvinced.
"You are a commander without any troops, so you have to do everything yourself. If I live here, won't you bring me good food and drink?" Aunt Zhou continued.
"No, I won't. The delicious food must be kept at home and eaten slowly. If you don't come to stay at my place, I won't bring it to you." Several people were chatting and laughing.
After dinner, they sent the two younger children to wash the dishes, and the three women sat in the yard to enjoy the fresh air.
"It's still comfortable to be with you! If you all leave one by one, it will be boring to be alone in the village!" said Aunt Zhou.
"Life is better now, isn't it normal for everyone to develop outside? You didn't listen when I asked you to come here, but it doesn't matter, it's not too late to come now."
In addition to Song Jinxiu's two families who moved to the city, several other families in the village also found jobs and bought houses in the town, and traveled back and forth between the busy and slack seasons.
"Aunt is coming too?" Song Jinxiu asked in surprise.
"Yes, you're welcome!" Aunt Zhou said with a smile.
"You're definitely welcome. You'll have a companion in the future! Where are you going to live? Will you buy a small yard for yourself or live with me?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Hey, kid, why can't you live with me?" Aunt Cuihua pretended to be angry and patted Song Jinxiu!
"That's definitely not possible. The village chief and Brother Dazhu will be here then! It's so convenient for them to stay at my place, don't you think, Aunt Zhou?" Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"It's quite annoying to live with you. I'd better buy a small yard for myself. The two-bedroom apartment you saw before is quite good." Aunt Zhou said.
"How do you know which two-bedroom apartment we are looking at? Have you found all the houses you like?" Song Jinxiu was really surprised. How could it be done so quickly?
"I just went to see it. The place I live is quite big and close to you. But I won't come to live here for the time being. I'll come to the city next year after this season's harvest!" said Aunt Zhou.
"That's perfect. We can use this time to renovate the house." Song Jinxiu said happily.
The next day at work, Song Jinxiu felt much better. She would have a companion again.
Then Zhao Li went to the counter to find Song Jinxiu again!
"Have you eaten yet?" Zhao Li asked, then realized it wasn't too late. He quickly changed the subject, "I mean, do those jewels look good? If you like them, I'll bring them to you next time."
"Thank you, it looks nice, but no, I don't like wearing jewelry." Song Jinxiu said.
Seeing that she was indeed not wearing anything, Zhao Li nodded. "Okay. Next time if you have other gadgets, I'll help you get them!"
"No, actually I have a lot of this stuff, so there's no need to waste money buying it." Song Jinxiu politely refused.
"Yes, we have known each other for so long, but I still don't know what your name is. My name is Zhao Li!" said Zhao Li.
"Hello, Comrade Zhao, my name is Song Jinxiu!" said Song Jinxiu.
"Hello, Comrade Song. Excuse me, but do you have a partner?" Zhao Li asked.
"Ah?" Song Jinxiu looked at him in confusion.
"I think you meet my criteria for a partner, and I want to get along with you with the goal of getting married.
If you are also single, I hope you can give me this opportunity!" Zhao Li said seriously.
"This." Song Jinxiu was confused. Are people nowadays so direct?
"I think we don't understand each other, and your decision is a bit hasty." Song Jinxiu said.
"Yes, so, can you give us a chance to get to know each other?" Zhao Li said to Song Jinxiu.
"My name is Zhao Li, I'm 24 years old, a soldier in the People's Liberation Army, currently serving as the commander of an independent battalion in the capital, and I have no bad habits.
I'll be allocated a house in the capital, so I don't have to live with my parents after marriage. The only downside is that I'll be on missions a lot, so I might not be home all the time.
If you want to join me in the army, that's fine, but the conditions won't be that good!" Zhao Li introduced.
Song Jinxiu felt a moment of excitement. Living alone after marriage, with her partner often not at home, would be almost the same as not being married at all!
But she knew that no matter how similar they were, being married and being single were still different!
