Chapter 24 Getting Along

The closer the exam time got, the more nervous the Xia family became. When she got home from school today, Li Dongmei looked at her and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Mom, just say what you want to say. I can't eat if you look at me like that." As Xia Zhizhi said this, she picked up the three largest pieces of meat in the bowl with her chopsticks.

"It's like this. You're graduating soon. Your father and I are worried that you'll feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable if you get married right after graduation. Director Lu also values ​​your idea very much. He said he wants to take you out to play, buy you some things, and cultivate your relationship at the same time."

After Li Dongmei finished speaking, she moved her butt towards the end of the bench, fearing that she would be slapped if she disagreed with her.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Xia Zhizhi frowned, "Then this Saturday, take me to the state-owned hotel for breakfast in the morning, and then go shopping in the department store. After shopping, take me to eat something delicious at noon. Tell him to bring more tickets, in case I see something nice and can't afford it."

Then he turned to Xia Lanlan and said, "Come with me."

Li Dongmei said, "You two are an unmarried couple cultivating your relationship. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for her to go along?"

Xia Zhizhi slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "If she doesn't go, who will get me things? Besides, she's a grown-up girl now, so she should buy some nice clothes. If Lu Weiguang wants to marry me, shouldn't she show some respect in front of my family?"

"Besides, I'm so good-looking. If I walk alone with Lu Weiguang, what if people think he's kidnapping a female student?"

"Also, I have to warn you, before I graduate, no one is allowed to tell anyone about this. If someone gets the upper hand and delays my becoming an official family member, then none of us in the family will survive!"

"Okay, okay, it's up to you."

There was no big fight today, so Xia Ruhai and his wife were quite satisfied and didn't say much.

On Saturday, Xia Zhizhi slept until noon. Li Dongmei urged her to wake up. After seeing that she had washed and packed up, she gave her an extra 5 yuan and said, "Go ahead. Director Lu is waiting for you at the state-owned hotel in the supply and marketing cooperative."

By the time she strolled over, the breakfast stalls in the state-owned hotel were almost closed. She scanned the entire hall and saw Lu Weiguang sitting at a table in the corner with a lot of food on it.

Xia Zhizhi took Xia Lanlan over and said affectionately, "Brother Lu, I'm so sorry. I didn't get enough rest last night and got up late today. I kept you waiting for a long time."

She pushed Xia Lanlan to sit on the right side of Lu Weiguang and sat opposite him herself.

In this position, even if someone familiar saw her, they would not connect her with Lu Weiguang.

She is a clean and innocent lady. It would be so uncomfortable if people discussed her and Lu Weiguang together. She also couldn't let such an old man take advantage of her reputation.

The original owner would starve to death, the main reason is this, he is ugly and still wants to covet fairies, go eat your ass!

Lu Weiguang had waited for at least two hours. Now he didn't have a phone, so it was impossible for him to send a text message to ask when she would arrive. He could only wait. He must have been unhappy in his heart, but when he saw her smiling face and didn't look like she was being forced, his anger was mostly relieved.

I heard him call "Brother Lu" softly again, and the remaining half also went down.

After all, she is good-looking. Even though she used to wear tattered clothes and looked pale and thin, he still fell in love with her at first sight. What's more, she has been well-fed and well-nourished during this period. She wears a beautiful skirt and new sandals. She is dressed neatly and looks so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.

He immediately found an excuse in his mind. The girl would definitely dress up before going out, and dressing up takes time. This showed that she valued him.

Lu Weiguang smiled gently and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just arrived and I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered a few things. Let's just have a simple breakfast. I'll take you to eat something delicious at noon."

"That's great, Brother Lu, you must take me to eat something I haven't eaten before. I don't like the ordinary things!" Xia Zhizhi was so shameless. She held chopsticks in her left hand and spoon in her right hand, and stuffed whatever she liked into her mouth.

Xia Lanlan was not as open-minded as she was. Although Lu Weiguang looked gentle to her, he was also stern, giving her an indescribable feeling.

Seeing that she was being reserved, Lu Weiguang picked up two buns for her, pushed a bowl of soy milk in front of her, and handed her a spoon: "This is Lanlan, right? Come, help yourself and eat something. Don't be reserved. We are all family. Tell me what you want to eat and I will get it for you."

He is already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, and a seasoned hand in the workplace. If he didn't have some skills, he wouldn't have been in his position. When he really shows his talent, he can easily make people feel warm and at ease.

Xia Lanlan drank the soy milk and ate the buns. She was not full yet, but she was embarrassed and lowered her head to say that she was full.

Lu Weiguang didn't try to persuade her, but laughed twice: "Haha, she's a shy and lovely girl."

Xia Lanlan felt even more embarrassed.

Xia Zhizhi didn't care about them. She just kept stuffing food into her mouth that didn't seem like something her small body could eat.

Although Lu Weiguang was a little surprised, his expression remained unchanged. How much does it cost to eat and drink? He can afford it. He smiled and said, "Eat more. Being able to eat is a blessing."

Xia Lanlan wanted to say, "I can eat it too," but she was embarrassed.

After dinner, we went to the department store. It was hard for three of us to ride a bicycle, so we had to take the bus.

There were quite a few people on the bus. As soon as Xia Zhizhi got on, she quickly grabbed a seat and sat down next to an aunt.

Lu Weiguang and Xia Lanlan failed to get a seat and could only stand next to him.

Xia Zhizhi took out a handkerchief and covered her nose pretentiously: "Hey, I really don't like the smell on the bus, it's too bad!"

Lu Weiguang advised her: "I'm sorry to bother you this time. Let's ride bicycles next time."

After entering the department store, Lu Weiguang took them to the candy counter first. Xia Zhizhi pouted and started to say, "I don't like eating candy. Eating candy will make you fat!"

"Nonsense, how can you be fat? It's better to be a little fatter. Buy some and put them there. If you want to eat, you can eat them. If you don't want to eat, give them to your sisters." Lu Weiguang persuaded her in a soft voice.

"Okay, you're thoughtful." Xia Zhizhi pointed, "I want to eat soft candy, biscuits, and White Rabbit milk candy."

Lu Weiguang said to the salesperson, "One pound of candy, and two cans of biscuits." Then he turned around and asked her, "Would you like some fruit candy, too?"

Xia Zhizhi nodded indifferently.

She bought two boxes of soft candy, plus some biscuits, White Rabbit and soft fruit candies, spending more than ten yuan. Xia Lanlan's eyes widened.

Xia Zhizhi peeled off the paper of a piece of soft candy and ate one, then stuffed another piece into Xia Lanlan's pocket. She let Xia Lanlan hold the candy, and the three of them continued shopping along the counter.

Whenever Lu Weiguang saw something a girl used, he would ask her if she wanted to buy any, but Xia Zhizhi always said she didn't like them.

If someone sees this thing and buys something for her, her reputation as a beautiful girl will be ruined.

Lu Weiguang observed her and found that she was not just saying that she didn't like it, but she really had no interest in it.

It shouldn't be like this.

He then asked Xia Lanlan in a gentle voice: "Lanlan, take a look to see if there is anything you want. If you like it, Brother Lu will buy it for you."

"Brother Lu, you don't have to spend money." Xia Lanlan looked at the things in the counter, then looked at him, and finally, persuaded by his gentle voice, she bought quite a few headscarves, vanishing cream, hair ties, hairpins, and other miscellaneous items.
