Chapter 160 Even Sows Are Rare
Li Xu quickly reached out and grabbed Liang Huimei's hand: "Aunt, you also know that my brother has been in the army for eight years. In these eight years, not to mention girls, even sows are rare. He is not cold, he just doesn't know how to get along with girls!"
Hearing what Li Xu said, Liang Huimei couldn't help but laugh.
"We have known each other for such a long time, and I trust you. I think your brother is a good person, but this matter should be decided by the children." Liang Huimei said reservedly.
"Who said it wasn't? Even if we talk about it for a long time, we can't tell whether it's good or bad. We still have to let them get to know each other to know whether it's suitable or not." Li Xu quickly took over the conversation and said, "How about this, I'll ask Xiao Lei to come over later and take Xiao Ning out to play. Don't waste this great weekend."
Liang Huimei smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll let Xiaoning wait for him at the market entrance later."
Li Xu stood up happily, exchanged a few words with Liang Huimei, and then went back to the store.
As soon as she returned to the store, she urged Li Lei, who was collecting money, "Alright, alright, don't stay here. Xiaoning is waiting for you at the entrance of the market. Hurry up and go over!"
Li Lei took the customer's money and told Ji Yuanyuan: "Quick, give this sister the change. One dollar and thirty cents."
Ji Yuanyuan opened the drawer and picked up the money from it while saying, "Uncle, go quickly. Don't let Aunt Xiaoning wait anxiously. I'll help mom with the work."
Li Lei then left hesitantly and with an embarrassed look on his face.
Li Xu was in a particularly good mood and was much more generous when settling the bill with the guests, giving several people a small change.
Li Xu sat down only after all the customers in the store left.
Ji Yuanyuan brought some water over and handed it to Li Xu: "Mom, drink some water!"
Li Xu took the teacup, drank two sips, then put the teacup down and picked up Ji Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at Li Xu, "Mom, isn't it too early for you to think about this?"
You haven't even met Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning yet, but you're already fantasizing about having a nephew or niece?
Li Xu still smiled: "Are you going to Grandpa Qin's house today?"
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it and nodded: "Let's go!"
"Then wait for your Uncle Zhang to come over and take you there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Kun appeared at the door.
Seeing Zhang Kun enter the store, Ji Yuanyuan jumped down from Li Xu's legs and said, "Mom, Uncle Zhang always comes to help you with work, you have to pay Uncle Zhang a salary!"
Zhang Kun heard this and happily picked up Ji Yuanyuan and held her high up: "Yuanyuan, why do you care about me so much? I am a little touched."
Li Xu laughed, "Okay, I'll pay you the salary."
"Uncle Zhang doesn't want a salary. Just ask your mother to buy you more delicious food." Zhang Kun said jokingly to Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan whispered in Zhang Kun's ear: "Uncle Zhang, if you want it, my mother has money."
Zhang Kun often comes to help, and he has a rough idea of the store's daily revenue.
Hearing this, Zhang Kun felt relieved. For a moment, he felt vaguely that they were originally a family.
Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly said, "Send the three of them to Uncle Qin."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhang Kun carried Ji Yuanyuan back home.
On the other side, Li Lei quickly arrived at the market entrance and waited for about five minutes before Meng Xiaoning came over.
Li Lei pushed the cart and walked side by side with Meng Xiaoning towards the market.
"Where are we going?" Meng Xiaoning asked.
Hearing this, Li Lei quickly asked: "Where do you want to go? Go shopping? Or go to the movies?"
Meng Xiaoning lowered her head and looked at her toes: "I know there is a small park nearby. Why don't we go to the park for a while and talk!"
Yesterday, it was so noisy in the department store that the two of them hardly spoke to each other.
Even when eating, Li Lei just focused on eating.
So after dinner, she was a little annoyed and wanted to go back in a huff.
Who knew that Li Lei didn't realize that she was angry at all, and thought she really wanted to go back.
"Okay, then come on up and I'll take you there." As Li Lei spoke, he had already got on the bicycle.
Meng Xiaoning sat on it familiarly and grabbed the corner of Li Lei's clothes.
Li Lei was not very familiar with this area, and it was only under the guidance of Meng Xiaoning that he found the small park.
The park is not big, but the scenery is pretty good. A small river runs through the park. There are several groups of chairs on both sides of the river.
In the morning, this place is the place for old men and women, while in the evening, the people who come here are young couples on dates.
It's past nine o'clock now, and there's no one in the park.
The two of them chose a seat and sat down.
The chairs were long enough to seat three people. Meng Xiaoning and Li Lei sat on the edge of the chair, with enough space in between for one more person.
After sitting down, neither of them spoke for a long time.
Meng Xiaoning looked at her toes, feeling embarrassed and anxious.
"Um...are you busy at work?" Li Lei also noticed the awkward atmosphere, so he took the initiative to ask.
"It's okay. In a garment factory, I work on an assembly line. I start at 8 a.m. every day and get off at 5:30 p.m. I have two days off on weekends. There are also gifts and holidays during the New Year holidays." Meng Xiaoning whispered.
Li Lei rubbed his hands awkwardly, "It's good, the treatment is very good."
After a pause, he continued, "I don't have a job right now. I'm at home helping my parents grow crops in the greenhouse!"
When Meng Xiaoning heard this, his hands unconsciously tangled together.
After a moment, she suddenly asked, "Don't you want to go out on a blind date? Or do you simply not like me?"
After Meng Xiaoning asked, Li Lei looked at her in surprise: "No, I... I am..."
I hesitated for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Meng Xiaoning was nervous, but he still plucked up the courage to talk things out with Li Lei.
Although Li Lei is a good person, his attitude has been so cold for two consecutive days...
If the other person is really not interested in you, it is better to give up as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will fall in love with him/her and he/she will say that he/she doesn't feel anything.
"I don't know if my sister told you that I was engaged before." Li Lei hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.
Meng Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "My mother told me, but I was engaged before, we are the same, no one should look down on each other."
When he said the last sentence, Meng Xiaoning's face turned a little red.
She was a little embarrassed, and realized belatedly that the last sentence was a little too proactive.
"That's different. I just broke off my engagement less than a month ago. I feel..."
Hearing Li Lei's words, Meng Xiaoning's heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, "Are you still thinking about your ex-fiancée?"
