Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Engagement
In the courtyard, the voices of people gradually became louder.
People kept coming in and out, and Lin Xiaolan and Chen Siya were helping to serve tea and water and entertain guests.
From time to time, there was loud laughter in the hall, and there were children who didn't know whose family was screaming, running from the hall to the kitchen, and were stopped by their parents and screaming and making trouble.
"Second sister."
Wang Fang ran into the kitchen with a red face.
Wang Li looked at her in surprise, then looked at Wang Xia and Wang Aiguo who came in and said, "It's not time for school yet, right?" Why are you all back? ”
Wang Xia said quickly: "The third brother said that today is a good day for the second sister, and the family is not manpowered, so I asked the teacher for leave." ”
Wang Li looked at Wang Aiguo with sparkling eyes.
Wang Aiguo said embarrassedly: "There are many people who came today, and the second sister is the only one busy at home, so I thought I could help when I came back early." He was embarrassed to show Wang Li, and hurriedly said, "I'll take a look outside, and let Ah Fang and Ah Xia help you wash the vegetables and make the fire." ”
After saying that, he hurried out.
Wang Li was so happy in her heart.
Not for anything else, just for the three younger siblings to take the initiative to care about their families.
In her last life, when she was engaged, from beginning to end, except for her two younger sisters, who used to give her a hand at home, she didn't say anything about helping her when she was an apprentice.
This time, everything has really changed, and her efforts have not been in vain!
When a person's mood is good, time flies.
Soon, the Zhong family came, and the hall was lively, and Wang Xia stuck her head out to the hall from time to time to take a look. Then tell Wang Li what you see.
When the meal was almost cooked, Lin Xiaolan went into the kitchen, took the spatula in Wang Li's hand and said, "Ali." I'll do the rest, you wash your face first, go back to your room to change your clothes and comb your hair, and then sit down at the table. ”
Chen Siya, who came in closely, also spoke: "It's almost time, Ali, you hurry up and pack up, and I and your cousin will watch the rest." ”
Wang Li nodded. I put down the spatula and prepared to fetch water to wash my face.
Wang Fang had already scooped up the water smartly, and Wang Xia took a towel and waited for her.
Wang Li touched the heads of her two younger sisters. My heart is warm.
So Wang Li recombed her hair, put on new clothes and went to the hall, and at this moment, two tables had been set up in the hall. Everyone is almost seated.
Even if you have seen it yesterday. When they met again today, the mother and daughter of the Zhong family still flashed Wang Li's appearance, and they were all thinking in their hearts, such a beauty, I heard that she is still so beautiful in the past six months, and when she becomes an adult, she still doesn't know how beautiful she is? My son/little brother really has good eyesight!
Zhong Zijing stood up even more excitedly, and watched Wang Li sit next to him before sitting down.
The people at the table looked at the two with a playful smile. Wang Li, who was ashamed, couldn't even lift her head.
The most excessive thing was that Zhong Zijing actually reached out and grabbed her hand from under the table.
She pumped and pumped. couldn't pull it out, so he squinted his eyes and glared at him angrily, but as a result, he actually pushed harder, and rubbed his fingers on the back of her hand, and scratched the palm of her hand with his index finger! God knows, she is most afraid of people scratching the palm of her hand, and the itch can make her scalp numb and her back sour!
The body was uncomfortable, her face was red, she was embarrassed, and she saw it, the aunt in the upper seat, the little brother in the lower seat, their eyes were looking under the table, how embarrassed was this!
But Zhong Zijing, this shameless one, is still rubbing and scratching! She's numb and about to tremble, okay!
If she continues, she will lose her face! Finally couldn't help it, stretched out his foot and kicked Zhong Zijing, warning him to pay attention.
Who knows, this is even worse, he actually has crooked legs, his whole thigh is attached to her leg, the hot temperature, hot her heart is about to jump out!
But the people at the whole table still didn't see it, toasting what should be toasted, and talking what should be spoken.
During the whole meal, Wang Li didn't know what she ate or what she said, her face was red from beginning to end, she only knew that Zhong Zijing stood up and toasted, let go of her hand for a while, sat down, and grabbed her hand again, that is, she deliberately stretched her hand to the other side, and after a while, he didn't know what method he used to catch it in his hand again, and the thighs also changed from sticking at the beginning to sticking and rubbing twice from time to time! It was useless for her to stomp on his feet!
Wang Li really wanted to cry!
But what made her even more devastated was that after eating, everyone actually made excuses to go out, leaving the two of them in the hall! Aren't Dad and Mom worried that Zhong Zijing will do something to her? Didn't Mom say, good girl, can't mess around with men before you talk about it? Now what's going on?
Zhong Zijing has been waiting for a long time, yesterday I asked my little daughter-in-law, she hasn't answered yet, today she is dressed so good-looking, it really makes him itch, I can't wait to hold people in my arms.
When everyone went out, Wang Li just wanted to shake off Zhong Zijing, but she saw him bow his head, look at her with tenderness in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Ali, we are engaged today, I'm very happy, you, are you happy?" ”
Wang Li looked up at Zhong Zijing.
It was the first time she had scrutinized him.
His face was full of seriousness, and he looked at her fixedly, his lips pursed, but there was a trace of uncertainty in his eyes.
Wang Li suddenly wanted to cry.
She realized at this moment that the man was seriously asking for her opinion.
No one in the previous life asked her opinion so seriously, they would only say, here are three candidates, which one do you choose?
Those three choices are not so much choices as orders, no matter which one is chosen, the result is the same, she marries, and the family receives a bride price of 1,000 yuan.
No one asked her if she was happy.
She wasn't happy at all, she didn't want to at all.
Not to mention the widower of the half-old man, nor the second-rate son who doesn't do personnel every day, it is Chen Laosan who she chose in the end, no matter how good his family conditions are, but such a man who is not as tall as her, and so ugly, how can she be happy, how can she be willing?
In this life, except for him, no one asked her if she was happy.
They will only say, "Do you want to, but in fact you have already made up your mind for her."
Her tears flowed down so suddenly, faster and faster, sliding across the corners of her mouth, sliding down the tip of her chin, dripping to the ground, splashing tears one after another.
Zhongzi Jingxin was also hurt by these tears.
wanted to wipe the tears on Wang Li's face, but her hand was raised again and again, but she didn't dare.
He said in a trembling voice, "Ali, what's wrong with you?" You, if you don't want to, just tell me, don't cry like this, my heart is broken when I cry. ”
Wang Li cried even more, she looked at the undisguised worry and discomfort in Zhong Zijing's eyes, and saw that he wanted to wipe her tears but didn't dare, so she suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist, and cried happily, burying all the cries into his chest, and leaving those tears in his heart.
Zhong Zijing froze when Wang Li threw herself into his arms, and after a while, he stiffened his hands, hugged Wang Li, and after a while, put one hand around her waist and patted her back with the other.
His mind was in turmoil.
I thought for a while, Ali cried so much, did she not like him and didn't want this family business?
Immediately kicked the thought away.
If Ali didn't like him, how could she take the initiative to throw herself into his arms? also took the initiative to hug his waist.
But the dampness in his chest gradually expanded and reminded him that Ali was crying very much, if she wasn't sad, if she wasn't wronged, why would she cry like this?
Or when he asked her if she was upset.
Yesterday he also asked her if Gao was happy, and she did not answer.
Asked her today, she cried.
Zhong Zijing felt that his heart was gradually cold, and his mind was full of thoughts: Ali was unhappy.
She was unhappy, unhappy that they were engaged.
Do you want to let her go?
His hand tightened, impossible, after so many years, he met such a person who made his heart move, he would never let go, now Ali is unwilling, maybe, it's just that they have only met three times, and they are not familiar with it yet, and when they are familiar with it in the future, Ali is naturally happy.
Yes, it must be like this, they just haven't seen too much and are not familiar with it, and Ali will be like this.
He kept telling himself in his heart, if there is more in the future, it will be fine, at this time, Ali is willing to hold him, doesn't that mean, she is still willing to engage him? She's just not familiar with it yet.
Wang Li cried happily, and finally vented the depression and sadness in her previous life.
Then I found out that she not only threw herself into Zhong Zijing's arms and cried, but also wet his coat from crying.
She was too ashamed to look up, it was so embarrassing!
At this time, she felt the powerful palm on her waist and the light tap on her back, as if she was being comforted like a child.
She wanted to cry again......
She raised her head slightly, and saw Zhong Zijing looking at her with sadness and worry.
After a while, she realized that her current posture was wrong, and quickly turned her head, withdrew her hands, and gently pushed him away.
But I was thinking in my heart, crying like this, my eyes must be swollen, but what should I do?
Zhong Zijing looked at Wang Li and turned his head away from him, and pushed him away in such a hurry, his heart was really like falling into an ice cave.
He said with difficulty: "Ali, if, if, you really don't want to, I, I"
Wang Li wanted to get some water and compress her eyes, otherwise she would be seen by others, and she didn't know what to think, but when she suddenly heard what Zhong Zijing said, she turned her head to look at him in surprise and said, "I don't want to!" ”
Zhong Zijing was stunned for a moment, and immediately reached out to grab her shoulder in ecstasy and said, "You really don't want to?" ”
Seeing that Wang Li nodded again and again without hesitation, she immediately hugged her into her arms again, rubbed her chin on the top of her head, and tried to calm the frantic heartbeat.
After a long time, he whispered: "You cry so much, I thought you didn't want to." ”
Wang Li was embarrassed and whispered: "I'm happy." Feeling the arms holding her tighten again, she chuckled and said, "Today we are engaged, I, very happy." (To be continued......)
