Chapter 445: Coaxing the Object

Xia Zhuoyue said as she put the coat on herself and adjusted her collar: "How come it fits so well? It's as if it was made to match my body. You're so nice, little sister!"

Xia Zhuoyue walked behind her holding Tao Tao's coat and put the sleeves on her hands while saying, "Come on, try it on."

Tao Tao felt a little embarrassed, but couldn't stand his enthusiasm, so she had to reach out and put on her clothes.

Xia Zhuoyue walked around her and praised, "It looks good and fits me well. I can tell at a glance that it matches the one I'm wearing!"

Tao Tao touched the hem of her clothes, her face turned red, and she said awkwardly, "I am so embarrassed. How can I let my little sister buy clothes for me? How much money will it cost my little sister?"

Normally, it is the sister-in-law who buys clothes for the sister-in-law.

Seeing the little girl embarrassed, Pan Wenjun came to her rescue: "The style and size of the clothes were all chosen by Zhizhi, but it was paid for by grandma. Our whole family, including Zhili and you, have them."

Pan Wenjun helped Tao Tao adjust her collar and felt that her taste was amazing. She had never seen Tao Tao before, but she chose the perfect dress, no matter the style or size. She couldn't help but marvel: "In my opinion, there is no girl who is more suitable for this dress than Xiao Tao. It's true that birds of a feather flock together."

Xia Zhuoyue immediately ran to the back and changed into a complete set, then came out and started to show off: "I will wear this tomorrow and go to a gathering with my classmates. They will look at my clothes and then look at my partner. Won't they be jealous to death?"

Xia Zhizhi: ...

It looks good, but for some reason I feel a little embarrassed.

Zeng Zelan began to dislike him: "Alright, alright, Xiao Tao is tired after sitting in the car for so many days. Go get some water, and you two should wash up and go to bed early."

The two rooms arranged for them were in the west wing, two adjacent rooms.

Zeng Zelan's original idea was to arrange for Tao Tao to live in the room next to Xia Zhizhi's, saying that since they were all young girls, Tao Tao would feel more comfortable there.

Xia Zhizhi didn't believe this. For the little girl Tao Tao, she didn't know anyone except her partner. She didn't feel comfortable sitting next to anyone else, so she was led to the west room by the two of them.

Tao Tao returned to the house, feeling a little confused.

The conditions offered by the Xia family were a little beyond her expectations.

Tao Tao is just a little naive, not stupid. In fact, she is a very smart girl.

She tossed and turned in bed, then remembered that she had not yet given away the meeting gift she had prepared, and felt even more upset for a moment.

There was only a single wall between the two beds, and the soundproofing effect was very average. Hearing her movements, Xia Zhuoyue knocked on the wall.

Tao Tao felt a little angry towards his partner. If he had told himself the truth earlier, he would have been able to prepare in advance and would not have made such a big joke.

Tao Tao turned his back and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Xia Zhuoyue knew that she could hear it. After all, how could he not know what was going on at home?

He knocked on the wall and shouted, "Beep, beep, beep, calling Comrade Tao Tao, please reply if you get it, please reply if you get it!"

Tao Tao knocked on the wall and said through gritted teeth: "Keep your voice down, or you'll disturb others!"

You little brat, you still want to be angry with him and ignore him.

Although Xia Zhuoyue thought so, he didn't say it. He was very sincere and lowered his voice to cooperate: "I got it. I will follow the leader's instructions."

"Shut up!" Tao Tao was still very angry, but didn't know how to tell him.

Xia Zhuoyue knew what she was angry about. Xia Zhuoyue was not a fool, he just had a more courageous character. He had a brain, but he was usually too lazy to use it. When he really needed it, this thing would come in handy.

The reason why he didn't tell Tao Tao about the family situation in advance was that he didn't want to put any psychological burden on her.

As long as the partner he is looking for has a clean family background and good character, his family will not object. Besides, as long as it is not a bottom line issue, he will still like the girl he likes even if her family objects.

Telling her earlier about the Xia family's situation would have been useless except for making her feel entangled for a few more months.

Maybe because of this, the girl would feel that the family conditions of the two men are too different and thus think about backing out.

In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, it is safer to coax the person back home first.

He went home and kept acting silly, just to divert the girl's attention so that she wouldn't be nervous when facing her family.

But there is no need to explain these to the little girl in detail.

Xia Zhuoyue knocked on the wall again: "Comrade Tao Tao, what is your attitude? You are not going to change your mind suddenly and give up on me, are you? I tell you, you can't do this. We made a promise under the Seven Stars of Beidou. You said at that time that you would be with me for the rest of your life. I remember it clearly..."

Tao Tao covered his head with the quilt: "Stop talking, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!"

Xia Zhuoyue continued, "So you really have to fall asleep when you say you want to. I want to take you to meet my friends tomorrow. They are all single, and I am the only one with a partner. They must be jealous of me. If you don't get enough rest, you will go out with dark circles under your eyes tomorrow and it will be embarrassing. But you, you better think about it..."

Tao Tao buried himself in the quilt and covered his ears.

Xia Zhuoyue kept chattering away, and Tao Tao actually fell asleep because of him chattering.

There was no movement over there for a long time, and Xia Zhuoyue also fell asleep quietly.

The next morning, after breakfast, Xia Zhuoyue took Tao Tao out, saying that they wanted to go out and play.

This was Tao Tao's first time in Beijing, and Xia Zhuoyue not only took him to show off in front of his friends, but also took him around.

For two or three days in a row, the two young lovers went out early and returned late every day.

The adults all went to work and would not be back until the evening. As a younger sister, Xia Zhizhi didn't care what the two little lovers did outside.

As for the marriage of the two, the adults will discuss it. After the date is set, Xia Zhizhi will pay for the wedding gift.

But Xia Zhizhi estimated that this would take some time.

Xinjiang is a very hard place to live in. Given the Xia family's conditions, Xia Zhuoyue chose to go there to serve as a soldier purely out of interest.

In the past, when he was alone, Xia's parents naturally let him do whatever he wanted, but if he wanted to get married and settle down, that place was certainly not a very ideal place.

It is estimated that there is a high possibility that the two will be transferred back.

Xia Sihua has already started making arrangements for his son.

Let’s talk about marriage.

Tao Tao's family conditions are average, and her parents are not top-notch, but she has several brothers and sisters. The conditions are there, and it is impossible to take care of them even if they want to. If the girl had not worked hard and seized the opportunity to support Xinjiang's construction, she would probably have gone to the countryside to become an educated youth.

Tao Tao also wrote a letter to tell her family about this. Her original plan was to go back to Beijing to meet Xia Zhuoyue's family first, and then go back to her own home with Xia Zhuoyue to meet her parents.

Then the two returned to the army for a group wedding.
