Ma Dali was stunned for a moment, holding the envelope and asked, "What is it?"
Chen Xingling raised an eyebrow and reminded: "Ah Xuan gave it to you."
The next moment, Ma Dali blushed again.
Chen Xingling knew there was something interesting going on as soon as he saw it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It's human nature for men and women to love each other. My sister-in-law is a very introverted and quiet girl. She dares to take the initiative to show her affection to you, which shows that she likes you very much. She is tall and good-looking. Except that she is too quiet and doesn't like to talk much, other conditions are quite good."
"Um..." Ma Dali hesitated shyly: "I...I..."
Chen Xingling scolded with a smile: "What are you doing? Is it okay or not? Just give me a definite answer!"
"What do you mean?" Ma Dali said in an embarrassed voice: "I-I am still in school. Besides, didn't she just finish the college entrance examination?"
Chen Xingling understood and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not asking you to marry her right away, I'm asking you to give her an accurate response. You're a man, so you should take the initiative. Let's fall in love while you're still young."
"How do you take the initiative?" Ma Dali nervously pinched the letter in his hand and asked shyly, "I... I don't know how to please girls. I only know how to write letters."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "If she didn't respond, you would need to write a letter to impress her. Since my sister-in-law is interested in you and you also have feelings for her, you can just skip this step. Take some practical action and ask her out to see a movie directly."
Ma Dali blushed again and asked in a low voice: "So soon...will she not agree?"
"Brother, be brave." Chen Xingling waved his hand: "Find time to buy movie tickets tomorrow! Give them to Xuan yourself! Only Xiaohuzi would be willing to be a messenger, but I don't!"
Ma Dali pursed his lips and replied with a smile: "Okay!"
…
That night, Chen Xingling quietly told Gu Qi about this.
"I think there's an 80% chance of it happening. As the saying goes, a man chasing a woman is like a mountain between two mountains, and a woman chasing a man is like a layer of gauze between two women. Since Xuan doesn't like him, and he dares to take the initiative to express his feelings - it's definitely a sure thing!"
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Really?"
"Really." Chen Xingling replied: "And it was Xuan who took the initiative."
Gu Qi smiled dumbly: "It can make the usually reserved Ah Xuan take the initiative... It seems that he really likes big gifts."
Chen Xingling asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you support it?"
"Then we should support him!" Gu Qi replied: "Da Li is so close to us, and we all know his character and ability. If we can become a family, Xuan can marry someone nearby, and it will be easier to move in the future - it can't be better!"
Chen Xingling laughed and said, "Okay! Then let's wait patiently."
More than a week later, the college entrance examination results were announced.
Xiao Huzi was admitted to Chongqing University with the first place in science, becoming the youngest college student in Chongqing University, which caused a sensation in the whole city!
The moment he knew the result, Chen Xingling was filled with joy and disbelief, and even secretly shed a few tears.
Li Ying was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He bowed to the sky and kept muttering something like "ancestors may have spirits".
Gu Qi had already been surrounded by colleagues who came to thank him. Even Lao Guo hurried over to Sanyuan to congratulate him, saying that he wanted to share in the little tiger's talent and good cheer.
Principal Li and Xiao Huzi's class teacher also came and said that this was the most exciting news since Chongwen Middle School was founded. They also brought a hundred yuan, saying it was a reward for Xiao Huzi from the school.
The real protagonist, Little Tiger, is still having a great time playing with his grandparents, unaware that his fame has already spread to the streets and lanes of Chongqing, both inside and outside the city.
Ma Erli's grades were not at the top, but his score was very impressive, several dozen points above the admission line. His class teacher consulted the admissions office of the university he applied for, and was told that his grades were quite good and he had been admitted, and that he just needed to wait patiently for the notification letter.
Gu Xuan's grades were average, on the lower middle level, but fortunately the library management major she applied for admitted more than a dozen students, and she was eventually admitted to Chongqing University.
Everyone is happy!
A few days later, Ma Dali found Chen Xingling and whispered that he and Ah Xuan got along well and planned to date them for a while. He asked her not to leak the secret to anyone to avoid damaging Gu Xuan's reputation.
"Don't worry." Chen Xingling agreed, "Only Aqi knows. He is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, you can rest assured about this."
Ma Dali explained in a low voice: "My family has finally found happiness after all the hardships. Erli was admitted to university and will be in his third year of high school next March. The widowed sister-in-law came to me a while ago and said that she had fallen in love with a fellow villager. The fellow villager planned to take her and her daughter to live in his hometown. She hoped to sell the two houses and save some money for her. I told her that the house had been given to her and she could do whatever she wanted with it. The house was successfully sold the day before yesterday, and the signature and thumbprint were pressed. The widowed sister-in-law packed her luggage and left with the man yesterday."
"Oh?" Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "Is that man...ok?"
Ma Dali whispered, "He is an honest man, his family runs a grocery store. He said that there is a house in his hometown, which is not new, but big enough to live in. The widowed sister-in-law is also a smart person. She made a lot of money by hooking up with other men, but she didn't take it too seriously. When she wanted to find a man to live with, she knew to find an honest man. The man was very good to her children and was very considerate to her. Before they left, I asked Erli to secretly give 200 yuan to the widowed sister-in-law. That is her hometown, no matter whether her family can be relied on, it is always a good thing to have more money around. She was very grateful to Erli, saying that she was too greedy before and would not dare to do it again in the future. Erli told her that if she encountered difficulties in the future, she could come to Yucheng to ask us for help, and we would do our best to help her."
"She is quite lucky to have met you." Chen Xingling said, "Two houses are a lot of money, plus two hundred yuan, it is enough for her to buy a house in her hometown and settle down, or even do a little business."
Ma Dali let out a long sigh and said, "Her husband saved Erli, and our family will always be in debt to them. We never drove them away. I told her in person that if she needs Erli in the future, Erli must do his best to help her. She was grateful, but she also knew that finding a man she could rely on was more important than anything else, so she finally chose a reliable man to remarry. This matter was finally resolved perfectly."
"Yes." Chen Xingling nodded: "Erli will go to college next month. The past is completely over, and a brand new future is waiting for him."
Ma Dali said happily: "Yes! Everything is fine now!"
Chen Xingling lowered his voice and said, "When you and Xuan are together, don't forget to give me, the matchmaker, a red envelope! Without me, how would you have the chance to get together? Right?"
"Then... then of course!" Ma Dali laughed softly, "Of course, of course."
