After playing outside for a day, Zhou Xinying returned to Suningning's house and used her pager to leave a message to her father's office. Zhou Xinying was a little curious about what this was, so he called according to the number left by the paging station.
Zhou Xinying picked up the phone and smiled: "Dad! Did you guess? The message I just left you is a pager, the first in the country, produced by the company under Ningning's lover's name. I got one and can contact each other anytime and anywhere. It's really super convenient!"
Zhou Dad on the other side was full of praise: "There is such a good thing? Then you should buy one for your dad first!"
Zhou Xinying chuckled. She didn't tell her father that her boyfriend was also involved in the research and development, and she didn't even tell Zhou Xinying that she was in a relationship. But she still felt a little proud in her heart: "Okay, I'll see if I can get it done later. When I get it done, I'll go over and bring it to you."
She hadn't been there for a while. Although she had a bad relationship with her father in the past, he was her biological father and was pretty good to her most of the time.
Who knew Zhou Yu nodded on the phone and said with a smile: "Okay, then come over. It just so happens that your stepmother wants to introduce you to another partner. But you can't act silly this time. The last one was so nice to you and waited for you downstairs of your dormitory every day. You made him so embarrassed! Yingying, you are not young anymore. You are at the age to get married. Don't be so picky. The older you get, the harder it will be to choose a good one."
When Zhou Xinying mentioned the man before, she instantly got angry: "Dad, do you know what kind of person that is? I told him that I didn't like him, but he insisted on going to my school to harass me, insulted me, and almost hit me! For a person like this, I would rather not get married for the rest of my life than look down on him!"
Zhou Yu was anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by never getting married? Who will take care of you if you don't get married? Let's not talk about that person. This time your stepmother introduced you to a really good guy. You will know when you meet him!"
The phone call was joyful at first, but Zhou Xinying ended up hanging up the phone in annoyance. She really had no desire to go home at all!
Su Ningning vaguely overheard what was going on nearby and knew that the reason Zhou Xinying was unhappy was not just because her family insisted on introducing her to a date, but also because Zhou Lei was unwilling to go with her and had no intention of getting married. This made it difficult for Zhou Xinying to tell her family about Zhou Lei's existence.
She was just about to open her mouth to comfort Zhou Xinying when Zhou Lei and He Qingshan came in.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, probably because things were going well outside.
He Qingshan handed Su Ningning a few strings of candied haws: "I saw them on the road, I brought them to you."
Su Ningning really likes eating candied haws, which are sour and sweet and delicious! She happily took it, and Zisongzibaiziyang also swarmed over, each of them stretched out their tongues like greedy cats and stood on tiptoe to lick the candied haws. Su Ningning put the candied haws lower so that they could all eat more.
Zhou Xinying subconsciously looked at Zhou Lei, and Zhou Lei's hands were not empty either. He had a big bag of hot sugar-roasted chestnuts, a paper bag containing four roasted sweet potatoes, and even a sugar man!
His heart melted instantly, Zhou Lei handed the food to her: "Eat less, you still need to eat later, try a little bit, I will buy it for you next time."
He was very considerate and understood all her preferences and habits, but Zhou Xinying wanted to cry. She couldn't help but think, does he not like her? Why didn't he mention marriage...
Thinking about this, Zhou Xinying deliberately put on a cold face: "I don't want to eat. I just ate outside with Ningning."
Zhou Lei was not angry: "Okay, then we'll eat together."
He took out a baked sweet potato and peeled it. The golden, sweet and soft flesh looked tempting. Zhou Xinying couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Just when she was wondering who Zhou Lei was peeling it for, he handed the sweet potato to her lips: "Take a bite, just one bite, you won't eat it?"
Zhou Xinying couldn't help herself and took a bite of the sweet potato. It was so soft and sweet!
