On the phone, Ji Ling said that she brought the person here to stay for one night and then sent him to the car.
"Qiuping said that they are not going there to see a doctor, but to find someone to help them with something. What is it? You are still a student and cannot help. Don't just agree to it casually."
Ji Ling frowned, "I don't know what they are doing. I only know that Xu Qiuping left the person in the guesthouse and did nothing about it."
"He is in a hurry to take the exam. It is almost the end of the year and it is a busy time for studies."
"Yes, I heard that he is a good student. He must not want to be surpassed by others."
Xu Fang felt a lump in her throat. "Okay, it's fine, I'll hang up now."
With a click, the phone was hung up, and Xu Fang's expression still didn't recover.
Ji Yong came back from outside and saw his wife like this. He joked, "Who wants to quarrel with someone over the phone? The other party thinks highly of you and is not afraid to spend money to quarrel with you over the phone."
"It's okay." Xu Fang didn't dare to say it was with her eldest daughter.
She knew that her eldest daughter said that on purpose. Qiuping was an average student, and he was able to get into a technical school with the help of his family.
The eldest daughter said that using the phrase "study hard" was actually a mockery of her.
She also blamed her nephew for being ignorant and not taking care of her mother-in-law when she went to the capital. She didn't know how he would be mocked when he saw her mother-in-law next time.
On the other hand, Ji Ling didn't care about those things. She could choose not to favor the Ji family, but she would not indulge the Xu family either.
She was busy entertaining people for two days over the weekend and had no rest. On Sunday afternoon, she didn't go anywhere. She stayed at home to wash clothes and clean the house.
All the used quilts are folded and put away for the next guests to use.
In fact, she is a germaphobe. Normally, these quilts should be washed after using them, even if they are for others to use. However, she has been too busy these days and really has to wash them, so she won't be able to rest this afternoon.
Just leave it for next week.
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Ji Ling received a call from Zhu Weidong. She was very sleepy and only remembered Zhu Weidong telling her to have a good rest. He talked for a long time without any other topic, just that one sentence.
Ji Ling was originally sleeping soundly. After being woken up, she found that he had nothing important to say but kept repeating these words, so she simply asked him directly, "Don't you want to ask if I feel better?"
There was immediate silence over there.
"It's been a few days. I just felt a little tired when I woke up that morning because I slept too late."
"Then I'll try harder next time." Zhu Weidong said and hung up the phone.
Ji Ling: He cared about her, but she said he felt that she was looking down on him for his incompetence.
It is said that women's minds are hard to guess, but for Ji Ling, men's minds are even harder to guess.
But then the phone rang again, and it was Zhu Weidong again. "I know about the clothes. I asked my friend to help buy another one. It will be in time before you go home. Don't get angry."
Ji Ling smiled and said, "Jiang Zheng also said that someone should buy it, but that would be too heavy. Why don't you ask your friend to buy a black one so that they can alternate between the two colors."
Ji Ling said it without any hesitation or politeness. She could feel Zhu Weidong laughing on the other end of the phone. When he smiled and responded, his voice was like a hook, tugging at your heart, making it itchy.
This was the first time that Ji Ling had such a feeling. In her previous life, she had to rely on herself to work hard, and the care of her friends was mostly hypocritical and linked to interests, not to mention her relatives. After traveling here, Zhu Weidong opened a new window and gave her a different life experience.
The first time she answered the phone, Ji Ling felt that her sleep was disturbed. The second time, they clearly didn’t say anything. In fact, Ji Ling asked more questions in the end. The call lasted for half an hour.
"It's okay, I'll pay it."
"How can that be? You have to hand over your expenses, and I'll decide how to spend them." Ji Ling teased him, wanting to see what he would say.
But she had already guessed it.
It really happened according to her thoughts, "Okay, you are the boss of our family."
Ji Ling smiled and said, "But you said it."
Zhu Weidong nodded, and then told her to get up and eat something before hanging up the phone.
A woman in love is the most beautiful.
The next day at school, Miao Man asked Ji Ling what she applied to make her skin so good. Ji Ling wanted to say it was the nourishment of love, but then she thought that it was too explicit to say such things in this era, so she swallowed her words.
Compared with the north, autumn in the capital comes much later. People in the north are already wearing cotton-padded clothes, but here you can still wear cashmere coats. The original owner didn't have any coats, and the one Zhu Weidong bought was torn. It happened that knitting woolen clothes was a trend in the dormitory, and Ji Ling was good at it, but she gradually became rusty after not using it for many years.
On the weekend, she went to the mall with Miao Man and others to buy wool. She knitted a white turtleneck sweater for herself and also a men's turtleneck sweater, the same style but different colors.
Everyone in the dormitory was teasing Ji Ling, but Ji Ling just smiled and said nothing. Moreover, she knitted quickly, so she could review her textbooks in the dormitory while knitting without any delay.
By mid-December, both sweaters were finished.
The school holiday is in mid-January, and there is still a month before the winter vacation. Ji Ling thought about the exams before the vacation, so she communicated with Zhu Weidong on the phone and decided to wait until mid-January to go back.
After all, it was her first year, and she didn’t want to delay her studies because of the wedding.
Zhu Weidong disagreed, saying that she could just take two days off during the weekend. "My family can discuss this. I'm afraid your parents might have some ideas. I went to see your dad this month, and he said he had already agreed with his relatives to get married by the end of December."
Ji Ling heard that it couldn't be changed, so she thought about it and didn't force it anymore, "Then you stay there and don't come back. I will go back with your parents then."
"good."
Ji Ling yawned, and Zhu Weidong heard it, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
"I have an exam coming up and I feel a little stressed, so I stayed up late to read some books, so I feel a little sleepy during the day."
"Just keep up with your studies. Don't stay up late all the time. It's not good for your health. I'll ask Heping to send you some dates. From today on, don't stay up late." Zhu Weidong spoke seriously about the harm of staying up late to the body.
Ji Ling listened with a smile. Today was Saturday. She had talked to Zhu Weidong on the phone early in the morning, and also called her eldest brother and father. Ji Ling lay on the bed and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Kong Siya came over, it was Wang Sanmei who woke her up.
"It's okay, it's okay. I heard from Zhu Dong that you've been staying up late lately. That's not okay. Girls should never stay up late." Kong Siya added that she had prepared everything and she just needed to boil water to drink every day.
Ji Ling couldn't help but yawn again. Kong Siya's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled and held Ji Ling's hand. "Xiao Ling, when did you start to feel sleepy? Are you about to have your period?"
Wang Sanmei came in with hot water, "Auntie, Xiaoling hasn't had her period this month."
As she spoke, her smiling eyes fell on Ji Ling's belly.
