Lu Wei listened to Ye Zhi's urging and pinched her waist in dissatisfaction: "You have no conscience. Your man will go back early tomorrow morning, and you are just thinking about your third brother."
Although they are both in the same city, Ye Zhi is now a junior student and her schoolwork is even more demanding than before. Although the small clothing factory does not need to be monitored all the time, Ye Zhi still has to make decisions on many matters. She usually goes to the factory when she has time after school or on weekends.
Lu Wei doesn't come out very often, so the two of them don't meet very often.
Ye Zhi was pinched by Lu Wei, looked at him aggrievedly, and said, "Then eat slowly. The children may not want to go back so early anyway."
Because there was a children's playground in the hotel where Gong Yuqiong was staying, several children liked to play there and probably didn't want to go home so early.
Lu Wei glanced at her and chuckled, "Then let's go have Western food tonight."
Since having a child, the two of them didn't know how long it had been since they had a meal together alone. Especially after coming to Guangzhou, I have been basically taking care of my children. There are so many elders at home, and except for a little time at night, there is nothing much to talk about after wasting time.
And Lu Wei thought about it and realized that the last time the two of them went on a date alone was probably last summer vacation.
Lu Wei remembered that when Ye Zhi came to his place, she also mentioned that she had eaten Western food with Gong Yuqiong and said that the steak was delicious.
Ye Zhi met Lu Wei's eyes and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then let's go have a western meal and make an appointment with my captain Lu. After dinner, we'll go for a walk by the river."
The two agreed to have Western food tonight. After Ye Zhi finished her work at the factory, she called home and said she would go back later.
When she called back, Nian Nian Sui Sui and An An had already returned to the family compound. They jumped on the phone to talk about where they had been that day. Without waiting for Ye Zhi to say anything, it was not clear whether it was Sui Sui or An An, but they hung up the phone directly.
Ye Zhi hung up the phone, then glanced at Lu Wei who was standing beside her and said, "The children are all home, now it's our time."
Because it was already rush hour, Lu Wei rode Ye Zhi's bicycle. Ye Zhi sat on the back of the bicycle and suddenly remembered that when they were in the staff housing compound on Qiongzhou Island, Lu Wei often rode his bicycle to take her to work in the textile factory.
Now Ye Zhi was sitting on the back of the bicycle again, looking at the street scenes of Guangzhou, and she seemed to be in a completely different mood.
Ye Zhi grabbed Lu Wei's clothes and asked him, "Lu Wei, what did Xiao Ding tell you?"
Ye Zhi knew that Lu Wei had a few private words with Ye Xiaoding in the pavilion yesterday, but when she wanted to ask about it in the evening, he had forgotten about it.
She also wanted to know what Xiao Ding thought about her third brother's remarriage.
Lu Wei bent his waist slightly, and kept stomping his feet, but the tone of his voice did not change at all: "What can I say? Do you think he is still that seven or eight-year-old child?"
"Wife, Xiao Ding is more sensible than we thought."
Lu Wei feels that the most fulfilling thing is that he brought Xiao Ding with him and accompanied him in his growth.
Ye Zhi smiled with relief: "That's right, I didn't expect that he would be taking the college entrance examination in the blink of an eye."
Recalling when he had just married Lu Wei, Xiao Ding was just a few years old. When he was on the island, he always loved to run outside and got tanned black, like a little monkey.
However, after staying in Yangcheng for three years, the seventeen-year-old Ye Xiaoding has become more handsome and looks more and more like her third brother.
After being in Yangcheng for a few years, Xiao Ding has given them no cause for worry. He has excellent grades and gets along well with his classmates.
Chen Zhian, Ye Xiaoding's former friend on the island, joined the army at the beginning of last year. After Ye Xiaoding sent Chen Zhian on the train, he felt lost for a long time.
However, after entering the third year of high school, Ye Xiaoding adjusted his mood and devoted himself to studying.
Lu Wei listened to Ye Zhi's words and smiled: "In the blink of an eye, we have been married for almost ten years."
Next July, when Ye Zhi graduates from university, it will be their tenth wedding anniversary.
Ye Zhi sat on the back seat. The bicycle was moving slowly along the Yuejiang River. The wind blew up her skirt, raising it into a beautiful arc. She looked at the rows of fishing boats in the river and suddenly laughed: "Yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, it's our tenth wedding anniversary. Does Captain Lu have any special gift for me?"
Lu Wei turned his head to look at the people in the back seat, but he only saw Ye Zhi's flying skirt. He smiled and said, "There is still a year, let me think about it slowly."
Ye Zhi smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'll think about what I should prepare for my Captain Lu."
The bicycle followed the flow of traffic and soon arrived at a famous western restaurant in the city. This restaurant is located on the bank of the Yue River. It was a former concession and now it is the location of many Overseas Chinese Affairs Offices and customs.
Moreover, this place is close to the entrance and exit of the □□ Trade Fair, so there are many foreign guests.
Lu Wei followed the example of others and walked arm in arm with Ye Zhi into the restaurant. Ye Zhi was good-looking and fashionably dressed, and she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she walked into the western restaurant.
Lu Wei held Ye Zhi's hand even tighter, as if declaring his sovereignty.
When the waiter took them to their seats, Lu Wei pulled out a chair for Ye Zhi and asked her to sit down.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you."
After the two sat down, they talked about the children's academic performance. In September last year, Nian Nian and Sui Sui had already started elementary school. Fortunately, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu were there. Although their academic qualifications were not particularly high, they were still intellectuals in this era.
So they helped a lot with the children's studies.
Although Ye Zhi is busy with her studies, she tries to go home whenever she can because her child is already in elementary school. If she really can't go home, she will call home to ask about her child's situation at school.
Pingan and Ping'an are now in the middle class. One is quiet, while the other is noisy.
However, because the two children have been learning dance together, they have always had a good relationship. There is no homework in kindergarten, and the two children play house when they go home every day.
The biggest wish of parents is that their children grow up healthy and happy.
When the steak was served, Lu Wei cut it for Ye Zhi in a very professional manner and handed it to her: "You have this."
Ye Zhi picked up the fork and looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, my Captain Lu is so thoughtful."
Lu Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course."
After thinking for a while, Lu Wei said, "If other people are nice to you, you can't be so easily moved."
Ye Zhi looked up at him, picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it into her mouth, and said "Oh".
Lu Wei paused, then added: "Especially in school."
There were a few times when Lu Wei went to Z University to pick up Ye Zhi and saw a male classmate deliberately chatting with her and handing her a letter. He knew with his toes that it must be a love confession letter.
However, Ye Zhi did not answer the letters given by others, but it was enough to make him feel itchy.
Ye Zhi will finally graduate next year, and Lu Wei feels that he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Zhi didn't respond this time. She just smiled and looked at him. Lu Wei just kept looking at her and ate slowly.
After they finished their Western meal, they took a walk along the river near the restaurant. There were street lights on this side of the river, which was obviously more upscale than other places.
There were also many young men and women dating on the street, walking side by side shyly and talking in low voices.
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei strolled around for a while and found that the riverside beach was not as distinctive as the beach on the island. After walking for a while, they prepared to ride their bikes back home.
When I got home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Normally the children would have gone to bed at this time, but they were still watching TV in the living room on the first floor.
Also watching TV were Ana Shen and Zhang Xiaomei, while the other elders had already gone to bed.
As soon as the children saw Ye Zhi and Lu Wei walk into the room, they immediately surrounded them.
Pingping hugged Ye Zhi's waist and asked, "Mom, did you go out to eat delicious food with Dad without telling us?"
An An hugged Lu Wei's thigh and looked up at him: "Dad, did you and Mom deliberately not take us with you?"
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei looked at each other, and Lu Wei said, "What do you mean by hiding it from you? Do I need to hide it from you when I go out to eat with your mother?"
Ye Zhi: “…”
"If you can't speak, then don't speak!"
An An let go of Lu Wei and hugged her arms: "Sure enough, you went to eat delicious food without telling us!"
Pingping: "Yes, Dad is bad!"
Lu Wei picked up An An and put her on his shoulders. "You're angry at such a young age. Be careful not to be pretty in the future. Come on, let's ride a horse."
An An loves beauty the most. She always says that she is the most beautiful person in the family, but Ping Ping is not beautiful. She says Ping Ping is cute.
Pingping has a good personality and doesn't argue with Anan. She just says that she is the cutest.
But every time An An said that she was the prettiest, An An would say, "No, mom is the prettiest."
An An heard Lu Wei say that being angry would make her ugly, so she immediately smiled, hugged Lu Wei's face, and said, "Dad, hurry up, run faster."
Pingping saw that An An could ride a horse, so he pestered Ye Zhi and said, "Mom, I want to ride a horse like An An."
Ye Zhi watched Lu Wei and An An running around the living room and frowned: "What if mom doesn't have enough strength?"
"Why don't you wait until An An calms down before you go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wei ran to their side and said to Pingping, "Come on, it's our little cutie Pingping's turn."
Pingping immediately jumped up with joy, "Dad, I want to run faster too."
An An pouted and said, "Dad, you have to take me riding a horse later!"
Lu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, then you sit aside and Dad will take you for a ride later."
Seeing that Pingping and Anan were accompanied by Lu Wei, Ye Zhi sat on the sofa next to the coffee table. Nian Nian and Sui Sui also pulled her aside and told her that they went to the zoo to see tigers and lions today.
Ye Zhi glanced at the two children and asked, "Did Aunt Yuqiong and Third Uncle take you there?"
Nian Nian and Sui Sui chatted at the same time and responded, "Yes, Third Uncle also bought us balloons, popsicles and soda. Aunt Gong bought us animal toys. Look, this giraffe and the big elephant were bought for us by Aunt Gong."
Ye Zhi looked at the toy in the child's hand and said, "Wow, it's really beautiful."
Ye Zhi asked the child some more questions about Ye Zhenhua and Gong Yuqiong, but she didn't get anything out of him.
The next day, Ye Zhi and Lu Weiyi had already gone out, one back to school for class, and the other back to the military camp.
The two hugged each other reluctantly, and finally, when Ye Zhi was about to go to class, Lu Wei was willing to get in the car.
When school was over at noon, Ye Zhi was doing homework in the classroom when she heard a classmate say, "Xiao Zhi, someone is looking for you outside."
Ye Zhi subconsciously thought it was Lu Wei, but they went out together this morning, so Lu Wei should have returned to the military academy by now, right?
Why are you looking for me again?
When Ye Zhi walked out of the teaching building, she saw Gong Yuqiong waiting for her in the pavilion.
The first thing Gong Yuqiong said to her was: "Xiaozhi, your third brother and I are together, I want to treat you to a meal."
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Although Ye Zhenhua is his elder brother, from the perspective of others, he is indeed a good man.
Gong Yuqiong smiled shyly and said, "Desheng also likes him very much. He asked me last night if I was in a relationship with him, and I didn't hide it from him."
"Then Desheng said that Uncle Ye was a good man and he liked him very much."
Ye Zhi looked at the blush on Gong Yuqiong's fair face and asked, "What about you? Do you like it?"
Although Ye Zhi also wanted Ye Zhenhua to be happy, she hoped that the two of them were truly in love with each other. If Gong Yuqiong just found a random man, Ye Zhi didn't want her to hurt her third brother.
Gong Yuqiong smiled at her: "Girl, do I look like a fool? We are not young anymore. Although we didn't have a passionate relationship, we started this relationship sincerely."
"Of course, Zhenhua and I have the same idea. Let's get along for a while first. If we don't get along, we won't force it."
Ye Zhi nodded: "That's fine too. I wish you all the best."
The wheel of history is moving forward, and "love without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism" is slowly becoming inappropriate.
As a person from later generations, Ye Zhi also agrees with their approach.
After all, marriage is a lifelong thing, and you can only know whether it is suitable or not after living together.
Gong Yuqiong said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat. I want to try your school's cafeteria and take a look around later."
Ye Zhi asked, "Take a look here? Are you planning to open a factory here?"
Gong Yuqiong shook her head, took Ye Zhi's arm, and said, "No, your third brother wants to buy a house here so that Desheng and I can have a place to live in the future."
Ye Zhi glanced at her and found that Gong Yuqiong's face was full of a happy smile, so she said, "I'm jealous. Third Brother is so good to you."
Who would have thought that Ye Zhenhua, who was only concerned about the welfare of farmers, would actually buy a house at the first opportunity.
Although a house in Yangcheng is nothing to Gong Yuqiong, Ye Zhi has been helping to sort out the accounts of the breeding farm in recent years. She roughly estimated that Ye Zhenhua's current savings are just enough to buy a house.
But all the money was spent directly on the house, so Ye Zhenhua showed his sincerity towards Gong Yuqiong.
Gong Yuqiong smiled and said, "Don't laugh at me. Come with me and have a look. A house is a necessity. If you want to buy one, buy one as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Ye Zhi remembered that Gong Yuqiong also opened a real estate company in Hong Kong, so she smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."
Although Ye Zhenhua and Gong Yuqiong were a couple, they lived in different cities and were rarely together. They often had to rely on Ye Zhi to pass on messages.
At the beginning of June, Ye Xiaoding took the college entrance examination.
One month after the college entrance examination, Ye Xiaoding received an admission letter from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
