In the end, Yi Xiaoqiu's decoration team never showed up again.
Xie Xingzhi and his family finally found someone to renovate their house themselves.
Guo Xiaochuan often went to help whenever he had a holiday.
Although Xiaocao has been living in the small courtyard in front of Yi Xiaoqiu's street since she came to Beijing, she has always helped Yi's mother with her work and also made some pocket money by making matchboxes. Guo Xiaochuan also received a living allowance when he came to Beijing to study, and he also earned money by doing odd jobs on weekends. So he and his sister can be said to be self-reliant.
That day, Su Mianmian came back from school and was about to ride her bike home when she was stopped on the road by a middle-aged woman wearing a hat and with a pale face.
"Who are you?" Su Mianmian felt that the woman's face was a little familiar, but she couldn't figure out where she had seen her before.
"I'm Chi Shunian's mother." Sun Mei said with a hint of arrogance.
During this period, her son left his sick mother and did not go back to see her early after school as he did before. Sun Mei guessed that her son must have gone to find this woman.
Sure enough, when she came to school before her son got out of school, she saw her son hiding far away and watching the woman.
For this reason, after her son left, she followed him without thinking.
Su Mianmian frowned, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Sun Mei looked Su Mianmian up and down and said, "I just came to see what kind of woman can be so obsessed with my son.
It seems that you are indeed quite pretty, but unfortunately, you are not welcome in our family. If you are smart, you should break up with my son. He will never marry you. I advise you not to waste your time on my son."
Su Mianmian gripped the handlebars of her bicycle tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Since Auntie despises me so much, please ask your son to come and explain things to me. Don't hide like a coward. If he breaks up with me, I won't bother him."
Sun Mei was stunned. She thought this country girl was clinging to her son because he was from the city, but she didn't expect...
Sun Mei felt that her son was being looked down upon, and her head felt dizzy when she thought of this.
"Hmph! That's nice of you to say. Since you're so stubborn, just wait for my son to break up with you!" Sun Mei said the harsh words and stormed out angrily.
If Su Mianmian tried to please her and pestered her son, she would definitely look down on her and despise her. However, Su Mianmian was dismissive of her son and did not try to please her with soft words, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Su Mianmian watched Sun Mei leave, was silent for a while, and prepared to ride away.
"Comrade Su Mianmian." A familiar voice came from behind her.
Su Mianmian turned around and saw that it was Lu Huaian.
"Comrade Lu, what can I do for you?"
Lu Huaian looked a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation just now. I came to ask you for a favor."
"What help?" Su Mianmian was stunned. She didn't think she could help him.
Lu Huaian stepped forward and said, "It's like this. Isn't my house being renovated? I want to decorate it like yours, so I thought of asking the workers to go to your house to take a look. I wonder if it's okay? You know, my yard is closer to yours, so it's convenient for the workers to run back and forth."
Su Mianmian nodded. "What kind of help is this? When will the workers from your side arrive?"
"Is it convenient now?"
It was also a coincidence that Lu Huaian's courtyard was only a few dozen meters away from Su Mianmian's courtyard, and they were both in the same alley.
Su Mianmian did not refuse.
Lu Huaian reached out and took the bicycle. "I'll give you a ride. Go faster."
Su Mianmian naturally gave the bicycle to Lu Huaian.
After the two of them got on the bicycle, Lu Huaian hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.
"What are you and Chi Shunian... going to do? I think this is not the first time you've been like this, and, what he meant was..." The more Lu Huaian spoke, the smaller his voice became.
He felt a little regretful when he said this.
He felt like he was out of his mind for asking Su Mianmian this question.
Su Mianmian hesitated for a moment and said, "He hasn't shown up yet."
Lu Huaian pushed his foot and the bicycle stopped. He turned around and looked at Su Mianmian in disbelief. "It's been more than a month since school started, and he hasn't come to see you?"
Su Mianmian nodded, "Yeah."
Chi Shunian has not shown up since she came to Beijing. Su Mianmian was also holding her breath. Since you don’t come to find me, I won’t look for you either.
"This brat!" Lu Huaian spat, "I didn't expect him to be such a jerk!"
Lu Huaian glanced at Su Mianmian again, who had a calm face. For some reason, he felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
"Let me go to school next week and talk to him. We all came from the Great Northern Wilderness together, and it wasn't easy coming all the way here. It's better to talk things through."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Su Mianmian to say anything. He rode his bike and took Su Mianmian back to the gate of Su Mianmian's house.
Lu Huaian put the person down, rode his bike back to his yard, and brought the workers who had not returned home yet into Su Mianmian's yard.
When the worker took one look at the house, he immediately realized that there were many techniques he couldn't do.
Lu Huaian could only settle for the second best and ask the workers to do it as best they could.
After the weekend, Lu Huaian came to Peking University on Wednesday morning when he had no classes and found Chi Shunian outside the classroom.
Chi Shunian has outstanding looks, is a local, and has good academic performance. As soon as Lu Huaian asked about his major, he knew which classroom he was in.
"Why are you here?" Chi Shunian looked at Lu Huaian with a complicated feeling in his heart.
"What? Now that you've passed the exam, you don't recognize your old friends anymore?" Lu Huaian put his arm around his shoulders.
Chi Shunian smiled slightly, "A great talent, instead of hanging out in the school library, still has time to come and see me. What a rare guest!"
The two of them were about to go to the cafeteria to eat, but just as they entered the cafeteria, a tall and thin girl stood up from her chair and waved over, "Classmate Chi, this way, I saved a seat for you."
Lu Huaian looked at Chi Shunian deeply, but said nothing.
"Brother Chi, is this your friend?"
Chi Shunian nodded.
The girl smiled brightly at Lu Huaian, "Hello, I'm Qian Yan, a neighbor who grew up with Brother Chi." At this point, Qian Yan's face showed a hint of shyness, "But, we will soon not be neighbors..."
As for what it was, the shy expression on her face explained it all.
Lu Huaian looked at Chi Shunian with an indescribable expression, "Have you decided to break up with Su Mianmian?"
Chi Shunian was silent for a while.
Lu Huaian didn't know what he was thinking and thought he agreed.
"No, since you decided to break up with Su Mianmian, why didn't you tell her clearly? You're having dinner with other lesbians while dragging other girls along.
If you are a man, go and explain it to Su Mianmian, don't let me look down on you!"
