Chapter 427: Everyone Envies
Xia Aidang was moved when he heard that Xia Zhi was going to buy a bicycle for himself, but he still said sensibly, "Sister, no need, although the factory is far away from home, I am still young, and I just run back and forth every day." ”
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay, my sister is not short of this money." ”
Then, without waiting for Xia Aidang to refuse, he said, "Just take it as a coming-of-age ceremony from my sister." ”
said, and looked at Xia Aidang with relief, "My family loves the party and grows up." ”
Xia Aidang scratched his head embarrassedly, but still insisted, "Sister, you really don't need to buy it for me, when I have money in the future, just buy it myself." ”
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, go back quickly." ”
Xia Ai insisted on sending Xia Zhi home, so he left and went home.
Just at the door, I met Xia Jianye who was about to go home, Xia Jianye saw Xia Aidang and wondered, "Where is your bicycle?" ”
Xia Aidang sighed and said, "Dad, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Xia Jianye nodded, entered the door, Xia Ai Dang sensibly poured tea for Xia Jianye, then sat opposite Xia Jianye, and said, "Dad, I gave that bicycle to Li Xiulan." ”
Xia Jianye thought that Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan had rekindled their old relationship, and suddenly said unhappily, "You reconciled with that Li Xiulan again?" This hasn't entered the door yet, and I'm going to walk the bike, and I'll be able to return it when I enter the door? ”
Xia Aidang saw that Xia Jianye was angry, and hurriedly explained, "Don't be angry, it's not like that." ”
Xia Aidang hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, after I tell you about this matter, you must not say it." ”
Seeing that Xia Aidang was so serious, Xia Jianye was even more puzzled in his heart, nodded and said, "Don't worry, your father is not a talkative person." ”
Xia Aidang didn't want to tell Xia Jianye about it, but after all, the bicycle was gone, and it was returned to Li Xiulan, and this matter had to be explained to Xia Jianye, and it couldn't be hidden, so Xia Aidang simply said it.
After listening to Xia Aidang's words, Xia Jianye frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just give the bicycle, it's no big deal, as long as you and that Li Xiulan can break clean in the future, a bicycle, Dad doesn't look at it yet." ”
Seeing that Xia Jianye didn't blame himself, Xia Aidang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I think so too, since the bicycle was given to her, I will have nothing to do with her in the future, and I will be a stranger when I meet in the future." ”
Xia Jianye said approvingly, "It's good that you understand it in your heart." ”
Xia Jianye said, stood up and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'm going to cook. ”
Xia Aidang also stood up, "I'll help you." ”
The father and son cooked, and after eating, they talked for a while, and Xia Jianye asked Xia Ai to go to sleep, and he had to go to work tomorrow.
Without a bicycle, Xia Aidang got up before dawn the next day, after washing, went out to buy breakfast, and brought one to Xia Jianye, and after eating his share, Xia Aidang went out to work.
Jogging along the way, after a while, my forehead was covered with hot sweat.
Xia Ai was running, only to hear the bell of the bicycle behind him, "Tick bell... Tick bell bell..."
Xia Ai Dang looked back and saw that it was Hu Xinyue, so he smiled and said hello to Hu Xinyue, Hu Xinyue slowed down the car, looked at Xia Ai Dang, and asked, "Officer Xia, are you tired?" Do you want me to give you a ride? ”
Xia Aidang hurriedly refused, "No need, thank you, Comrade Hu Xinyue, I'm not tired of running, I'll be there soon." ”
Xia Aidang is a person who knows etiquette and understands etiquette, although he and Hu Xinyue are colleagues, but after all, men and women are different, and people in this era are more conservative, and lonely men and widows ride in a car, which will inevitably cause gossip.
Xia Aidang is a better man, but Hu Xinyue is a young girl, Xia Aidang doesn't want to affect the reputation of other little girls.
Hu Xinyue didn't say anything when she saw this, she just smiled and said, "Officer Xia, I'll go first." ”
Xia Aidang smiled and waved his hand at Hu Xinyue, and Hu Xinyue rode a bicycle and left first.
When Xia Aidang finally ran to the factory, as soon as he entered the office, he saw Sister Meng anxiously asking him, "Love the party, are you reconciled with that Li Xiulan again?" I heard yesterday that Li Xiulan took her mother to find you. ”
Without waiting for Xia Aidang to speak, Sister Meng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Love the party, you must not be confused, I know that Li Xiulan is beautiful, but you can't ignore her character just because she is beautiful." ”
Xia Aidang said strangely, "Sister Meng, when will I reconcile with Li Xiulan?" There is no relationship between us anymore, it is completely broken. ”
Sister Meng was shocked, "You didn't reconcile with her, so why did she ride your bicycle to work?" ”
When Xia Aidang heard Li Xiulan riding her bicycle to work, her face sank, and she pursed her lips and said, "I gave her the bicycle, and there will be no relationship between us in the future." ”
"What?" Sister Meng couldn't believe it, "Is that bicycle from their family?" ”
Xia Aidang nodded, "Li Xiulan's mother asked me for what she said: compensation." ”
Sister Meng said angrily, "Hey, I really haven't seen it, there are really such cheeky people in the world!" ”
"It's true that you talked to Li Xiulan about the object, but you are innocent between you, isn't it normal for men and women to separate and merge?"
"You and her are not engaged, and you are not married, after they disperse, their family will compensate you for it, and there is no such reason in the world!"
Sister Meng's voice was not small, and the comrades in the office heard it, and they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Although Hu Xinyue has just arrived, she has also heard a little about the affairs between Xia Ai Dang and Li Xiulan.
Knowing that the girl named Li Xiulan has poor family conditions and is still a little greedy, Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan broke off their relationship, and Xia Aidang is not to blame for this matter.
Unexpectedly, Xia Aidang broke off the relationship with the girl named Li Xiulan, and Li Xiulan's mother also asked Xia Aidang for compensation, which was unheard of, Hu Xinyue looked at Xia Aidang with a touch of sympathy in her eyes.
It was impossible for Xia Ai to tell everyone about Li Xiulan's insult, which might kill Li Xiulan, so he smiled and said, "Give it to her if they want, and in the future, we will be considered to be clean, even if we meet again, we will be strangers." ”
Hu Xinyue looked at Xia Aidang with some surprise, but she didn't expect him to be so free and easy, not only free and easy, but also kind-hearted, and he was an atmospheric man.
After hearing this, Sister Meng glanced at Xia Aidang, "You stupid boy, it's really cheap, I feel angry when I say it." ”
Xia Aidang hurriedly comforted, "Sister Meng, I know that you are for my good, but this matter will be over like this, and we will not mention it again in the future." ”
Sister Meng nodded and said, "Okay, it's good that you understand it in your own heart." ”
Li Xiulan rode Xia Aidang's bicycle to work, but this incident caused a sensation in the factory, but Li Xiulan did not have the previous arrogance, the whole person became silent, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, a little more arrogant.
As soon as Li Xiulan came to the textile room, Zhao Nana came over and asked in a low voice, "Xiulan, why did you ride Officer Xia's bicycle to work?" Haven't you already broken up with each other? Are you reconciled again? ”
Many people around heard Zhao Nana's words, and they also pricked up their ears.
Zhao Nana looked at Li Xiulan suspiciously, and felt that there should be no reconciliation between Li Xiulan and Xia Ai's party, otherwise Li Xiulan would have shown off a long time ago, but now Li Xiulan is silent and a little confused.
Li Xiulan didn't raise her head and said, "He is willing to give it to me." ”
didn't say reconcile, didn't say no reconciliation, which gave many people a huge amount of imagination.
Just when everyone was wondering whether there was a reconciliation between Xia Ai Dang and Li Xiulan, there was news from someone who Sister Meng knew.
There was no reconciliation between Li Xiulan and Xia Ai Party, and the bicycle was the compensation that Li Xiulan and her mother asked for from Xia Ai Party, and this news made everyone's impression of Li Xiulan even worse.
After getting off work at noon, Xia Ai Dang went to the canteen to eat, but he didn't expect to meet Li Xiulan, Li Xiulan saw Xia Ai Dang, her eyes lit up, and she made a pitiful appearance of wanting to say something, but Xia Ai Dang treated Li Xiulan as if she didn't exist, and treated her as if she were air, and walked past her expressionlessly, not even bothering to give her a look.
Li Xiulan saw that Xia Ai Dang was ignoring herself so much, and couldn't help but glared at Xia Ai Dang angrily.
Xia Aidang bought a dumpling in the canteen at noon, found a place, and ate his own food quietly.
Li Xiulan took her mother to ask Xia Ai Dang for a bicycle as compensation, and even the master of the canteen heard about it.
Li Xiulan's mother was very happy because she asked for a bicycle from Xia Aidang, and gave Li Xiulan ten yuan as living expenses.
Li Xiulan has money in her hands, so she plans to improve her life at noon today and buy two white flour steamed buns and a stew.
When the canteen master saw Li Xiulan, his smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he reluctantly handed Li Xiulan two white-flour steamed buns, and when he scooped the vegetables, the spoon shook and half of the dishes in the spoon were missing.
Li Xiulan looked at the pitiful stew in her lunch box, glanced at the kitchen master, and said, "What do you mean by this?" Everyone else has so much, why give me so little? ”
The kitchen master was not weak at all, and said confidently, "I don't like you, what a beautiful girl, why are you so greedy?" People like you, I don't even bother to say a word to you. ”
Many people next to him heard it and immediately applauded.
Li Xiulan immediately turned red with anger, holding the lunch box, but she didn't dare to say anything, glared at the master, and turned to leave.
Xia Aidang noticed the movement at the dinner window, only glanced at it, he lowered his head again, continued to eat his own food, and saw Li Xiulan leave with red eyes, Xia Aidang was just expressionless.
Li Xiulan took the lunch box and found a secluded corner to sit down, no one wanted to share the table with her, seeing Li Xiulan sitting over, many people left with the lunch box in disgust, far away from her.
When Li Xiulan saw it, she gritted her teeth with grievances, but she could only endure it, and couldn't help complaining about Xia Aidang in her heart, why didn't she come forward to speak for her.
As long as Xia Ai said that he took the initiative to give her the bicycle, then these people would no longer target her.
But Li Xiulan didn't want to think about it, if she didn't ride Xia Aidang's bicycle to work, who would know that Xia Aidang gave her the bicycle?
As soon as Xia Aidang finished eating, he heard the uncle in the communication room shouting at the door of the cafeteria, "Xia Aidang, Secretary Xia, are you here?" ”
Xia Aidang heard the uncle in the communication room shouting his name, so he hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, "I'm here." ”
When the uncle in the communication room saw Xia Aidang, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Officer Xia, your sister is here, and she is at the gate of the factory." ”
When Xia Aidang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'll go over now." ”
The uncle in the communication room nodded, turned around and left, and Xia Ai Dang hurriedly packed up his things and left the cafeteria with him.
There were so many people in the cafeteria, and they all heard the words of the master of the communication room, Xia Ai Dang was still a celebrity in the field, not only was he handsome, but the key was that he had a good family background and was a son of a high-ranking cadre, and many people were very curious about Xia Ai Dang.
Now I heard that Xia Ai's sister is here, and many people are also following Xia Ai's party and leaving the cafeteria, planning to see what Xia Ai's sister looks like?
Xia Ai Dang was unwilling to let Xia Zhi wait for a long time, and trotted to the door of the factory.
At a glance, I saw the summer solstice standing at the door, pushing a brand-new 28-bar bicycle.
Xia Zhi saw Xia Ai Dang and waved his hand hurriedly.
Xia Aidang's expressionless face finally showed a few smiles, and he hurriedly walked out of the door and asked with a smile, "Sister, why are you here?" ”
Xia Zhi looked at the bicycle path in his hand, "Didn't I say, buy you a new one today, I'm here to send you a bicycle." ”
Xia Aidang's eyes widened, looking at the brand-new bicycle pushed by Xia Zhi, shining with a beautiful metallic luster in the sun, his eyes were both happy and a little embarrassed.
In the end, he was grateful, "Sister, thank you, when I have money in the future, I will buy you what you want." ”
Xia Zhi was amused and laughed, then nodded and said, "Okay, that eldest sister is waiting." Then he motioned to Xia Ai Dang to pick up the bicycle.
Xia Ai Dang pushes a brand new bicycle, full of love.
Xia Zhi suggested, "Do you want to try it?" ”
Xia Aidang nodded excitedly and said, "Yes." ”
Immediately afterwards, Xia Ai Dang rode a bicycle and walked back and forth at the gate of the factory twice, with a smile on his face becoming brighter and brighter, as if he had returned to the optimistic and positive Xia Ai Dang before.
Xia Zhi looked at Xia Aidang with a smile on her face, but she didn't know that many people in the field were talking about her.
Zhao Nana stared at Xia Zhi, glanced at it a few times, and sighed, "Xia Ai's sister is really beautiful. ”
"Yes, those beautiful girls in our factory are nothing compared to the sister Xia Aidang."
"yes, look how white her skin is."
"I heard that her sister is almost thirty years old, why does she still look like a teenage girl."
Sister Meng praised, "This sister who loves the party is not only almost thirty years old, but she has also given birth to several children, you see how slippery this skin is." ”
"yes, you can still wear a bragi dress, you see that waist is so thin."
Sister Meng nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, I used to think that Li Xiulan was a beautiful woman, but now compared with the two eldest sisters of Xia Aidang, it is really the difference between a black chicken and a phoenix." ”
Sister Meng's words caused many people to nod frequently, and Li Xiulan was also involved, seeing the summer solstice wearing a white bragi skirt.
Hearing that Sister Meng compared her to a black chicken and Xia Solstice to a phoenix, Li Xiulan's teeth were almost crushed, and her eyes looking at Xia Solstice were like sudden poison, full of malice.
felt that if it weren't for Xia Zhi mixing in it, Xia Ai Dang wouldn't hate her, and they wouldn't have come to this point.
Zhao Nana saw Li Xiulan, leaned over to Li Xiulan and said, "Xiulan, I really didn't expect that Xia Aidang's sister is really beautiful." ”
Li Xiulan sneered, pouted and said, "I just look at it." ”
Zhao Nana listened to Li Xiulan's words, and felt that Li Xiulan was jealous of others who were more beautiful than her.
Xia Aidang was excited like a child, pushed the bicycle, came to Xia Zhi's side, and said happily, "Sister, this bicycle is really good." ”
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It's good if you like it." ”
Xia Aidang then said, "Then how do you go home?" Why don't you ride your bike back. ”
Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "No, your brother-in-law said to pick me up." As soon as the words fell, an army-green jeep slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Gu Beicheng, who was tall and handsome in a straight military uniform, stepped out of the jeep.
Seeing Gu Beicheng coming, Xia Ai Dang hurriedly shouted happily, "Brother-in-law." ”
Gu Beicheng smiled at Xia Aidang and said, "Do you like the new bicycle?" ”
Xia Zhi explained on the side, "Your brother-in-law picked this bicycle for you. ”
Xia Aidang nodded again and again, "I like it, I like it." ”
Gu Beicheng saw that Xia Zhi's little face was flushed, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "I'll just say that it's good to let Xiao Li send the bicycle, you have to come in person, don't get heat stroke for a while." ”
As he spoke, he stood beside Xia Zhi, using his tall body to block the sunlight shining on Xia Zhi's body, and his eyes were full of pampering.
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Isn't it a little annoying for me to stay at home, so I want to come out for a walk." ”
When the workers in the factory saw Xia Zhi, they were shocked enough, but they didn't expect to see Xia Ai's brother-in-law.
Sister Meng sighed, "I heard the love party say that his brother-in-law is a soldier, but I didn't expect that he was still a man who could ride in a car, and at first glance he was an officer, and he was really handsome." ”
"Yes, Secretary General Bixia's Du Jun."
A well-informed male comrade was surprised, "Looking at the epaulettes of Secretary Xia's brother-in-law, it seems to be a colonel." ”
Everyone heard that Xia Ai's brother-in-law was a colonel officer, and he had an incredible face.
"Oh my God, this man is quite young, he is actually a colonel."
"What a young and promising person!"
"It's a good match with Secretary Xia's sister, a talented man and a woman."
Everyone had only heard that Xia Aidang's family background was better, but they didn't expect that Xia Aidang's father was a big official, and his brother-in-law was still so young and promising, so it was no wonder that Li Xiulan held on to Xia Aidang tightly.
Li Xiulan also saw Xia Ai's brother-in-law for the first time, looking at the tall and handsome man, exuding a vigorous and resolute demeanor that belongs to a soldier alone.
That face is more handsome than Xia Aidang, and the man is a little more mature and reliable than Xia Aidang, exuding a unique man's charm all over his body, which makes many young girls in the factory secretly exclaim.
Gu Beicheng noticed that there were many people in the field looking at this side, and the weather was hot, so Gu Beicheng quietly held Xia Zhi's hand and said, "Let's go back." ”
Xia Solstice came out and took a turn, his cheeks were tanned, and the bicycle was sent to Xia Ai Dang anyway.
When Xia Zhi heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Gu Beicheng pulled Xia Zhi and said to Xia Aidang, "You go back to the factory, your sister and I should also go home." ”
Xia Aidang nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother-in-law, sister, you guys slow down on the road." ”
Gu Beicheng nodded, and then escorted Xia Zhizhi to the car, and the car quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
Xia Aidang pushed the brand-new bicycle back to the factory, and as soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by everyone.
Sister Meng is the most familiar with Xia Aidang, walked to Xia Aidang's side, watched Xia Aidang pushing a brand-new bicycle, and asked with a smile, "Aidang, your sister is so beautiful, your sister came to you at this time, is there something wrong?" ”
Xia Aidang said with a smile, "My sister knew that I gave away my bicycle, so she bought me a new one." ”
Sister Meng gasped when she heard this, and said enviously, "Ouch, your sister really loves you, such an expensive bicycle, I bought it for you when she said she would buy it." ”
When the onlookers listened, they couldn't help but be full of envy.
Xia Aidang smiled, happy and moved, and secretly swore that he would be good to his sister in the future.
Sister Meng asked again, "Love the party, that man in military uniform is your brother-in-law, right?" ”
Xia Aidang nodded, "Yes." ”
Many people around asked nonsense.
"Love the party, how old is your brother-in-law this year?"
Xia Aidang said casually, "37 years old." ”
"It doesn't look like it, it looks so young."
"Love the party, looking at the military uniform your brother-in-law is wearing, it seems to be a colonel."
Xia Aidang nodded and said, "Yes, my brother-in-law is a capable person and very powerful." ”
Sister Meng said enviously, "Your sister is really blessed." ”
When Xia Aidang heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes, my brother-in-law is very good to my sister, but my sister is also worthy of my brother-in-law being so good to her." ”
Everyone didn't care when they heard it, thinking that Xia Aidang was saying good things for her sister, but they didn't take it seriously.
But I don't know that Xia Aidang really admires her sister, although he was still young, he remembers it clearly, when the Gu family fell, everyone was afraid to avoid it, only his sister followed the Gu family without hesitation, went to the Great Northern Wilderness, and suffered for a year.
His sister never abandoned the Gu family, in exchange for the respect of the Gu family for her sister and the single-minded love of his brother-in-law.
The crowd asked some more questions, and then they dispersed.
But from now on, Xia Ai Party has been in a good mood.
Li Xiulan stared at Xia Aidang twice with complicated eyes, her eyes were full of unwillingness, and seeing that the time for work was approaching, she followed everyone back to the textile room.
Zhao Nana stood beside Li Xiulan and sighed, "Xiulan, it's a pity, if you can really marry Secretary Xia, then you will really have a blessing that you can't enjoy in the future." ”
"Yes, the sister of Xia Aidang is not only good-looking, but also good for Xia Gong, so the expensive bicycle will be given away."
"Yes, his sister can give the bicycle to Xia in front of his brother-in-law, which means that her sister-in-law's family agrees, and her mother-in-law has no opinion on sending out such an expensive bicycle, which shows that the brother-in-law's family must be rich."
"Haven't you heard? Xia Ai's brother-in-law is a colonel officer, and he is a big official. ”
"And his brother-in-law is still so handsome, he really envy the dead."
"Yes, if I can marry such a good man, it will be worth dying."
Everyone laughed and played for a while, and then dispersed, Li Xiulan listened to the words of these people, as if a knife was piercing her heart, and regretted that it was like a poisonous snake that had been wrapping around her.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Li Xiulan rode her bicycle home, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Wu Caifeng sending a middle-aged woman away.
Li Xiulan saw it and asked casually, "Mom, who is that?" ”
Wu Caifeng glanced at Li Xiulan and said, "That's your Aunt Shen, I came to her to tell you about a family matter." ”
Li Xiulan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mom, why don't you tell me?" ”
Li Xiulan complained, "Who else do you think I can marry like this?" Who wants me? ”
Wu Caifeng listened, and said in a salty tone, "Just because you have become like this, I have to marry you off quickly, otherwise it will be even more difficult to marry when you are older in the future." ”
Li Xiulan had tears rolling in her eyes, biting her lip and saying, "I don't want to get married." ”
Wu Caifeng glared at Li Xiulan and said, "Don't marry?" If you don't marry, you stay at home and eat and drink for nothing, and your mother can't afford to support you. ”
Li Xiaolan choked up and said, "I have a job, I can support myself." ”
Wu Caifeng said lightly, "I have discussed with your father and your eldest brother, and decided to let the second girl take over your work first." ”
Li Xiulan was stunned when she heard this, looked at Wu Caifeng in disbelief, and asked, "Why?" Why do you want Erya to take over my job, I'm doing a good job, why should I let Erya take over my job? ”
Wu Caifeng said with a cold face, "Why did I let the second girl take over your work, don't you know?" ”
"You don't want to see what you have become, if you let others know that you are not a yellow flower girl, where will our family's face go? Besides, the second girl is also old and good-looking, with this good job, maybe she can marry a good family. ”
"I was counting on you, who made you not angry?"
"Losing your body early, shame our whole family, you still have the face to say!"
After Wu Caifeng finished speaking, he said hatefully, "Don't occupy the pit and don't, this good job is given to you, it's also for nothing, anyway, you can't marry any good people, it's better to give it to the second girl." ”
When Li Xiulan heard this, she trembled with anger, her hands were clenched into fists, and the hatred in her heart grew like vines.
She knew that she was able to persuade her parents to take over her eldest brother's job because she once told Wu Caifeng that if she could have a good job, she would definitely be able to marry a good family with her looks, and she would be able to help the family at that time.
Now that she has lost her body, who will marry her from a good family, even if others don't know that she has lost her body, but after getting married, this matter makes people know, it is not marriage, it is revenge!
So Wu Caifeng discarded her without hesitation, wanting her second daughter to take over the job, and then find a good family to marry, so that she could help the family in the future, and after getting married, this job could be passed on to his younger brother, killing two birds with one stone.
