The state-owned restaurant has mutton dumplings today, and there are a lot of people queuing up. Luo Aixiang pushes Luo Ailan into the queue.
"Sister, you wait in line for the dumplings while I buy some other dishes."
Luo Ailan grabbed Luo Aixiang who was about to leave and stared at her with wide eyes, "It's enough for the two of us to just eat dumplings, why did you buy vegetables?"
"Sister, don't worry about it." Luo Aixiang looked at Luo Ailan mysteriously, brushed her hand away, and went to the window to buy vegetables.
Luo Ailan looked at Luo Aixiang's back in confusion.
"Comrade, please move forward." Seeing that two guests had already left and Luo Ailan was still in a daze, the lady behind her reached out and poked her in the lower back.
Luo Ailan came back to her senses, smiled apologetically at the old lady, and took a few steps forward.
Luo Aixiang bought sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork, spicy and sour potato shreds, and a serving of cold cucumber salad. When she saw Luo Ailan was queuing at the window, she squeezed over to pay first.
"I'll do it." Luo Ailan said hurriedly.
Luo Aixiang smiled at Luo Ailan, "Sister, I'll treat you to a meal today. I have something to tell you later."
Looking at Luo Aixiang's smiling face, Luo Ailan thought she had received a big order today.
Only when she makes money will Luo Aixiang smile like a child.
The two of them sat by the window.
Luo Ailan didn't move her chopsticks. She looked at Luo Aixiang opposite her and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what's the good news?"
Luo Aixiang blushed and handed the chopsticks to Luo Ailan, "Eat first, I'll tell you later."
Luo Ailan looked at Luo Aixiang suspiciously, "Why are you blushing?" It's just that you got a big order, and you're still embarrassed.
After she finished speaking, Luo Aixiang's face turned even redder.
She reached out and touched her face, looking around and saying, "It's a little hot."
Luo Ailan raised her eyebrows. It’s still hot in October.
Without exposing her, she picked up chopsticks to eat. Luo Aixiang couldn't hold back her words and would speak up even without her being asked.
Luo Aixiang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her sister stopped asking questions. She picked up her chopsticks and ate slowly, but her face was still very hot.
The girl who usually loves to eat now seemed to be worried. She looked up at her from time to time and ate her meal absent-mindedly.
Luo Ailan put down her chopsticks and couldn't help asking, "Aixiang, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Aixiang put down her chopsticks, took a deep breath, and looked up at her sister.
Before he could say anything, his face was getting redder and redder.
Luo Ailan understood a little bit, and asked tentatively, "Are you dating someone?"
"How do you know?" Luo Aixiang looked at Luo Ailan with wide eyes, as if she was frightened.
Luo Ailan laughed, "Although I've never been in a relationship, I've seen pigs run even if I haven't eaten pork. You look like a girl who's in love."
"Tell me, what's his name, what does he do, where does he live..." Luo Ailan hesitated, asked the last question, and lowered her voice, "How are his parents?"
She and Luo Aixiang have a miserable life, without a good pair of parents, so in the future marriage, they must choose their parents-in-law carefully.
I cannot bear the same pain a second time.
They are different from before. Now they are financially independent and have more choices. If they have a weird father-in-law, they will kick him out no matter how good the partner is.
Luo Aixiang knew what her sister wanted to say, and she smiled brightly and held her hand across the table.
"Sister, I understand. He..." Luo Aixiang took back her hand and lowered her head with a red face. "In fact, you know him too. He is Zhu Zhigang."
"No!" Luo Ailan frowned, "Have you forgotten so quickly what his top-notch mother and top-notch sister did?"
"I haven't forgotten!" The blush on Luo Aixiang's face faded, and she looked at her sister and said seriously, "His mother and sister have returned to their hometown, and his father and mother have divorced. They will never come back and will not disturb our lives."
"Even if his mother and father are divorced, Wang Guimei is still his mother and Zhu Qiaolan is still his sister. If they come back one day, you can imagine how your life will be." Luo Ailan looked at Luo Aixiang anxiously, hoping that she would stop the loss in time.
Luo Aixiang bit her lip and remained silent for a while.
When she looked at Luo Ailan again, her face was firm, "Sister, if there really comes a day when Zhu Zhigang still wants to be a good son and a good brother, then I will divorce him."
"I really like him, but my love won't go mad."
"No one knows what will happen in the future, so why not enjoy life while you can?"
"Besides, sister, I have the ability to cover myself!"
Luo Ailan felt a pain in her heart, "He treats you very well, doesn't he?"
Luo Aixiang nodded without hesitation, "Yes, very good, no one has ever been as good to me as he is."
Luo Ailan felt even more heartbroken.
Although Ai Xiang has a carefree personality, she is very lacking in emotions. She grew up in a wild way, and as long as someone is a little bit nice to her, she would be eager to open her heart to them.
Pretending to be angry, he said, "Am I not good to you?"
"Sister, of course you are good to me." Luo Aixiang smiled shyly, "You treat me like family, Qinghe treats me like friendship, and Zhu Zhigang treats me like love."
"Have you figured it out?" Luo Ailan looked at her grown-up cousin. There was no more helplessness and fear from her childhood in her eyes. Now there was only confidence and determination.
"Yes!" Luo Aixiang nodded heavily, "I think very clearly. I have never thought about being with Zhu Zhigang forever. I will treat him well when he treats me well. If he treats me badly one day, I will kick him out without hesitation."
Luo Ailan was amused.
Luo Aixiang is braver than her.
"So, do you want to take him home to meet your parents?"
Luo Aixiang shook her head. She lowered her head and used chopsticks to stir the rice in the bowl. "Sister, the county town is not far from the village. My scumbag father and stepmother have never come to see me. I guess they have forgotten about me, so..."
Luo Aixiang raised her head and looked at him seriously. "You are my sister and my parent. I will tell you about this first, and then I will tell Qinghe later. I will find a chance to bring Zhu Zhigang here and meet everyone as my partner."
"Okay." Luo Ailan looked at Luo Aixiang lovingly, "You're right, it's good to enjoy life while you can. No one knows what the future will hold. As long as we have the confidence, we won't be afraid even if there are storms in the future."
"Sister, I feel safe with you and Qinghe." Luo Aixiang had tears in her eyes.
Luo Ailan nodded and said, "I understand everything." She was the same. With Aixiang and Qinghe, she was not afraid of anything.
…
"Are you dating Zhu Zhigang?" Shen Qinghe hugged Doudou and looked at Luo Aixiang in surprise.
Luo Aixiang nodded, and looking at Shen Qinghe's reaction, she felt very guilty.
"Qinghe, I know Zhigang's mother and his sister have done many things to you that hurt you. I shouldn't be dating him, but..."
"What are you talking about?" Shen Qinghe laughed, "I'm just surprised, not against it."
"Really?" Luo Aixiang looked at Shen Qinghe nervously.
Shen Qinghe nodded, "Zhu Zhigang is different from his mother and his sister, otherwise we would have cut off contact with him long ago." After so many things that happened, they didn't contact Zhu Zhigang as frequently as before.
Everyone knows what happened, but some things just happened and we can only watch helplessly.
