Chapter 79
Seventy-nine
Xie Wumei felt that if her family background was like Xu Xiaojuan, she could take out some savings and support Zhu Yushen to decorate the upstairs and build their love nest together. Or add some things to the new home when you get married, and Zhu Yushen will definitely be very moved by that. Because this is the behavior of a lady, she has seen some such examples.
Thinking about it this way, she ruthlessly decided not to fill the loophole, and she would deduct some money for backup in the future. Sleeping in the same bed with her eldest sister at night, Xie Wumei was very proud of her strong decision. She felt that the eldest sister on the other end of the bed was really too wretched and useless. Like the eldest sister or some girls, blindly counting on the man financially, how can it be done?
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Wumei did not go to work. When Zhu Yushen passed by the street in the afternoon, he saw that Xie Dahua had also left earlier. After school, when Zhu Yushen went to the street to buy vegetables again, he passed by Dahua clothing and saw that the door was locked. Hu Yuqin and her husband Xia Youli on the opposite side also just locked the door. They got on motorcycles one after the other, said hello to Zhu Yushen and rode back to have a holiday dinner. The streets were also noticeably scarcer. Because in Huangzhen, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival are good days after the Spring Festival. People with poor conditions expect to eat and drink a lot during the New Year's holiday. Therefore, these three traditional festivals are very important.
Zhu Yushen glanced at the door of Dahua Clothing with a little regret, and walked away. He didn't see anyone riding a bicycle on the other side. When she was about to hit him, the girl braked the car sharply. The girl's long, straight hair was apparently done not long ago.
Zhu Yushen looked at her face, wasn't that Xu Xiaojuan? She changed her traditional hairstyle with a crooked back of her head, which straightened out her long, dyed yellow hair with a bit of a trendy connotation.
Xu Xiaojuan had already recognized Zhu Yushen. She gave him a smile. said: "The fifth sister is not going to work today. Celebrate the holidays at home. Didn't she tell you? ”
Zhu Yushen explained: "I know. I just passed by here on the street on an errand. ”
Xu Xiaojuan opened the door of the store as she spoke. She shouted at Zhu Yushen, who was standing not far from the door, "Yushen, come in and sit for a while." ”
Zhu Yushen had an instinctive curiosity about her and Wu Bao's affairs. So he didn't squeak on the surface, but his legs involuntarily walked into their shop.
Xu Xiaojuan turned on the light, and the lights in the whole store were bright in an instant. Zhu Yushen knew that they had a particularly large amount of work to make clothes at the end of last year, and sometimes they had to work late at night, and they couldn't do it without bright lights. At this time, the bright lights can also help the two of them avoid suspicion. Zhu Yushen guessed that she should have lived in the store after eating a holiday meal at home.
Zhu Yushen sat on a stool at the door. It was already dark. Only a few shops are open and lit on the curved streets. Xu Xiaojuan nailed her clothes to the motor with great interest, and she was not in a hurry to talk to Zhu Yushen. She kept swinging the fabric and looked distraught.
Zhu Yushen asked, "How are you doing?" ”
Xu Xiaojuan looked up at him in surprise and asked, "We?" Who am I doing with whom? ”
Zhu Yushen said: "I mean the man who came to your house last time. You've already accepted him in your family, haven't you? ”
Xu Xiaojuan said solemnly: "Yushen, please don't let him face him in front of me." There's no way I'm going to marry him, and my parents don't like him. Not long ago, he went to my house again. My parents told him that they had helped me find a good in-law in Suncun Town, and they were about to get married. Tell him not to waste his scheming. ”
Zhu Yushen was taken aback and asked, "Have you really ordered someone else?" ”
Xu Xiaojuan smiled secretly. He said, "There is such a person." His family has a shop on Suncun Street, and he is also a public official. It was a relative who introduced him to my family. But I haven't thought about marrying him yet. ”
Zhu Yu said with deep regret: "Actually, that Wu Bao is good to you. It's just that he's older. The conditions at home are relatively poor. By the way, didn't he say that his sister's family in Jiangbei had made a fortune and would help him? You're going to be sad if he's gone. However......" Zhu Yushen lowered his head, and the two were silent for a while.
Xu Xiaojuan said softly: "Yushen, you see that the fifth sister is worse than me, right?" Not only is she not attractive, but the family wants to squeeze her hard. She can still be worthy of someone like you, so why should I wronged myself to marry Wu Bao? I used to work outside the home, and my family and I were in trouble, but he helped me.
But not so long ago, it cost a lot of money to get sick with his mother. He didn't have much money of his own, and his sister's family wasn't developed at all, so he bragged about it in front of my parents. You know, after you left, I drove him away. Later, I learned that the fifth sister went to you......"
Xu Xiaojuan stopped here and glanced at Zhu Yushen. Then, she lowered her head and continued: "His mother's medical expenses are not enough, so I lend him some money, and I don't expect him to pay it back, on the condition that he will not come to pester me again. You say I've done a good job, right? Why should I trade my lifelong happiness for sympathy for him? ”
Hearing her say this, Zhu Yushen was speechless. But he felt that Wu Bao would never give up, and her life would always be accompanied by Wu Bao's shadow.
Listening to Xu Xiaojuan's words, Zhu Yushen felt more comfortable. Because she speaks at a relatively high level, she is really a person who once loved literature passionately.
Zhu Yushen glanced at the street, some of the open storefronts were closed, and he got up to leave. Xu Xiaojuan should have been aware of his move. But she didn't lift her head, and her face was hidden by her long flowing hair.
She stopped what she was doing and sighed: "It's still the life of the fifth sister!" If you go well, you'll be married soon. And I, maybe I'm going to be so old in this life that I can't marry someone for this. This blames me for my bad reputation at an early age, and good boys don't want me anymore. I'm also self-inflicted, and no one will pity me. ”
Zhu Yushen didn't dare to look at her face, but just stood blankly for a while. When her mood was a little better, she comforted: "I believe that such a beautiful and kind girl like you will definitely have a happy life in the future." ”
After Xu Xiaojuan heard this, she forcibly squeezed out a smiling face and presented it to him as a token of gratitude. Zhu Yushen took the opportunity to say goodbye, and then walked away as if he was running away.
When he got to the distance, he glanced back, Xu Xiaojuan was still sitting there, and the town was already very scarce. He couldn't help but worry about her, and wanted to go back and persuade her to close the door early and rest. But in the end, he didn't go, just strode towards the school.
After a few rains, the weather slowly gets hotter, and it can be described as the next hot one. After entering the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the sun is like fire, and when the sky changes, it rains like a pillar.
Zhu Yu thought deeply that he should go to Xie Wumei's house this month. It's not good for him to run to Dahua Clothing anymore, and it's not good for him to drag Xie Wumei to school all the time. Because this will affect Xie Wumei's work, the proprietress Xie Dahua will definitely be unhappy.
During this time, Xie Wumei did not come to him, and the two of them only occasionally sent messages or made phone calls. In fact, the straight-line distance between the two of them is less than three kilometers, and sometimes they feel like a couple separated by a thousand mountains. Zhu Yushen still plunged into the pile of papers in his spare time.
In the middle of the year, one of his time-consuming and laborious works was completed. He was more excited in his heart, so on a whim, he wanted to go to Dahua Clothing to meet his girlfriend. He didn't notify Xie Wumei in advance, so when he stood at the door of the store, Xie Wumei's happy mood was beyond words. She brought out a chair for Zhu Yushen. Xu Xiaojuan was tidying up her clothes and smiled at him.
At this time, Xie Dahua came in from outside. She also looked in good spirits, she curled her tongue and said, "Teacher Zhu is here, I was looking for you." You are now the boyfriend of the fifth sister, that is, my distant sister-in-law. There's something I need your help with. ”
Zhu Yushen said: "If you have something, just open your mouth." ”
Xie Dahua said that her daughter is in primary school and is about to take an exam. She wants her daughter to get a good grade in the exam. I hope that Zhu Yushen will tutor her daughter in this sprint stage.
Because Xie Dahua is Xie Wumei's boss, he has also provided convenience for him and Xie Wumei to fall in love before. In addition, Xie Wumei once said that her parents still have to rely on Sister Dahua's kind words. So Zhu Yushen readily agreed. (To be continued......)
