Lin Rui rode his bicycle directly to Zhang Xiaojuan's house. Zhang Xiaojuan was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Lin Rui coming, she was very happy and surprised. She shook off the water stains on her hands and went to greet him.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to the city today?"
Now there is business to do in the city, and Lin Rui is quite busy. Zhang Xiaojuan knows this, so although she misses Lin Rui very much, she can also understand Lin Rui.
"I wanted to come see you, so I didn't go."
Lin Rui was worried. Under normal circumstances, he would be very happy to see Zhang Xiaojuan, but at this moment, he couldn't be happy, but he was trying his best to hide his worries.
Just now, in front of the police, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he just replied that he had never been there. On the way to find Zhang Xiaojuan, he regretted it more and more.
If the police find out that he has been to that place, then he didn't tell the truth and it is not known whether he has violated the law or not?
Seeing him sweating, Zhang Xiaojuan felt a little distressed. "Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go get you some water."
Lin Rui was indeed thirsty. Zhang Xiaojuan poured out a bowl of water. He put his bicycle next to her, took it, and started drinking it. He finished the bowl in a short while. He looked around and saw that there seemed to be no one else at home except Zhang Xiaojuan, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Are you home alone?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaojuan nodded. "My brother went out to play, my parents were weeding in the fields, and my sister was taken shopping by her boyfriend."
"Has your sister found a partner?"
Lin Rui was a little surprised, as he seemed to have never heard of this before.
"We've just been engaged for two days, and you've been very busy, so I didn't have time to tell you." Zhang Xiaojuan said.
"There have been a lot of things going on in the city recently." Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone so long without visiting Zhang Xiaojuan.
Zhang Xiaojuan smiled, indicating that she understood. She looked at Lin Rui's sweat-soaked clothes and said, "Your clothes are really wet. Why don't you try on my dad's clothes first? I'll wash them for you while you take them off. It's hot now, so they'll dry in no time."
"No need." Lin Rui pulled up the clothes and shook them twice, "It will be dry in a while."
He is not used to wearing other people's clothes.
Seeing that he really didn't seem to want to take it off, Zhang Xiaojuan didn't force him, "Sit for a while, I'll wash the clothes first."
All the family's clothes are here. She has only washed a few pieces, and there is still half a basin left.
Lin Rui took a small stool and sat next to Zhang Xiaojuan. Looking at the large basin of clothes in the water, he felt very uncomfortable.
"You have to wash all the clothes for your family?"
"Um."
Zhang Xiaojuan nodded while washing clothes on the washboard.
"Why doesn't your sister wash her clothes?" Lin Rui complained. "Your sister is not a child anymore, why do you have to wash her clothes too?"
This is too biased.
"My parents love my sister more." Zhang Xiaojuan answered in a muffled voice.
They were both born to the same parents, but since childhood, her parents have loved her sister more, and her sister is also better at coaxing people. Zhang Xiaojuan herself admits that she cannot compare to her in this regard.
Hearing this, Lin Rui felt even more distressed. "I'll go home and discuss with my brother about marrying you off soon, okay?"
Zhang Xiaojuan blushed, "Who would say that in front of their partner?"
Generally speaking, the man's family will find a matchmaker to discuss the wedding date with the girl's parents. It will take two or three times before the girl's parents agree to marry their daughter.
It's too embarrassing to tell her so bluntly.
Lin Rui laughed innocently, "It's just the two of us, no outsiders."
