Thinking of her daughter's current predicament and comparing it to Zhao Huanhuan's shrewdness, Aunt Li silently wiped away a tear of bitterness.
She ran into her neighbors on the way and they asked her what was wrong. She was upset, but she couldn't talk about her daughter. She only said that Zhao's daughter had brought her boyfriend home to meet her parents. She had just met him and thought it was a good match. She even praised him and said how wonderful it would be if her own daughter, Mao Tao, was so sensible.
After listening, people understood what she meant. Aunt Li was saying that her daughter was immature and might be unhappy in her marriage, while Zhao's daughter was sensible, had a boyfriend, and brought him home to meet her parents. He was probably a good young man, otherwise Aunt Li wouldn't be so envious.
Thanks to Aunt Li's word-of-mouth, soon everyone in the 522 neighborhood, whether they knew the Zhao family or Zhao Huanhuan, knew that Zhao's daughter had brought home a boyfriend to meet her parents. It was said that the young man was a good person, which made the Li family very envious.
Those who are at home during the day are the family members of the geological team workers. They are either unemployed or working in other units and are off work at home during this time.
Aunt Li was like that; she worked at a carpet factory, and her day off was during her workday.
There aren't many families like the Zhao couple, both working for the geological team. Plus, the Zhao couple are both good-looking, and their daughter is even more beautiful. Their family is quite well-known in this 522 residential area.
Therefore, when Zhao Huanhuan and Lin Yuan finished their breakfast and walked on the street outside the community, they noticed that people would always smile at them and give Lin Yuan a few knowing glances.
Seeing so many people looking at them, Lin Yuan wondered if these people knew Huanhuan or her parents.
Why else would you pay so much attention to the two of them?
However, Zhao Huanhuan didn't greet anyone else, so he didn't say anything more and just accompanied her forward.
Once they were finally away from the neighborhood and no one was watching them anymore, Zhao Huanhuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my god, she didn't know which of those people she knew. She could only walk with her head down, pretending to be thinking, and avoid eye contact. What if she ran into an old acquaintance and didn't recognize her? How embarrassing!
Turning her head to meet Lin Yuan's concerned gaze, Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said, "Let's go shopping. The department store in Yuancheng was built when I was in junior high school. It's a big, three-story mall. People go there to buy New Year's goods."
She knew these things were mentioned in the books, and she spoke of them without any pressure.
Lin Yuan paused. Wasn't the department store on the next street? It seemed closer to go through the alley over there. Could it be that Huanhuan wanted to show him more of the old streets of Yuancheng?
Guessing Zhao Huanhuan's thoughts, Lin Yuan's lips curved into a smile. This girl was truly kind-hearted, so he didn't point it out and accompanied her as they strolled slowly along the cobblestone streets.
He felt that it had a unique romantic feel to it, like being in a relationship.
