After the college entrance examination, Xiaohuzi was taken to a fishing village by his fifth uncle, and played crazy with a group of cousins and cousins every day.

Gu Xuan slept in the dark at home for two or three days, and then began to learn to do housework.

Li Ying saw that she swept the floor several times a day and mopped the floor several times, but she couldn't stand it.

"Otherwise, you can go to the construction site below to give your second sister-in-law a hand."

Zhao Xiaoxing's belly is getting bigger and bigger, but she still insists on working to make money.

As before, Chen Xingling and Ma Dali first built several brick houses, one for a large kitchen, one for an office, and two toilets by the river.

Zhao Xiaoxing is still cooking in the big kitchen, only responsible for one meal at noon, plus some hot water.

Because there are twice as many workers as before, Zhao Xiaoxing's workload is a bit large. Fortunately, Ma Dali is not working now, but is responsible for supervising and managing the work. When he was free, he came to the big kitchen to help Xiao Xing.

Chen Xingling is responsible for buying all kinds of building materials, going out early and returning late, and occasionally returning home at night.

However, as long as she is on the construction site, she will go to the big kitchen to help Zhao Xiaoxing.

Although Li Ying was reluctant to let her daughter work, she couldn't bear to let her have problems.

"You can help your second sister-in-law wash the vegetables and dishes. I've been there and seen that it's not a heavy job, but mainly because there are many workers who eat, so you have to cook and cook in large portions. You go and help her for an hour or two before it opens, and you can help her somewhat. She now has a big belly...... It's not easy. ”

Gu Xuan didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.

After a while, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

Ma Dali saw her coming over and hurriedly led her to find Chen Xingling.

"It's not." Gu Xuan blushed and shook his head: "I...... I want to find my second sister-in-law and give her a hand. ”

Ma Dali laughed: "Take advantage of the summer vacation to help, I will remind your sister-in-law to calculate your salary!" ”

"No, you don't." Gu Xuan whispered: "I'...... Anyway, there is nothing to do, and idleness is idle. ”

Ma Dali led her to the big kitchen and carefully told her to be careful not to step on nails.

Gu Xuan glanced at him quietly, and his pretty face turned red again.

Ma Dali didn't notice it, and Wen Sheng: "I heard Ling Ling say that you applied for the normal major and library management major of Chongqing University. In the future, we can still become alumni! By the way, I'm one year older than you, and I'm your senior brother. ”

"I don't know if I can get in." Gu Xuan whispered.

Ma Dali replied: "I have already taken the exam, just wait for the results with peace of mind." That's what I told my brother. His liberal arts have always been good, and I still have a lot of confidence in him. However, I wanted him to go far, so he applied to Northern University. ”

"I ...... I was going to the north too. Gu Xuan whispered: "I wanted to stay away from home when I was a child...... I didn't think much about it later. ”

In the past, the atmosphere at home always gave her a very strong sense of suffocation, especially the various irritating operations from the old mother made her uncomfortable.

But since my sister-in-law came here, the atmosphere at home has gradually changed.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law are very affectionate, happy and sweet, and the second brother and sister-in-law are also very harmonious and affectionate. They worked together, struggled together, and organized a happy family together.

She suddenly yearned.

Not only that, but the old mother has also begun to change, and she no longer puts on a mother-in-law shelf with her sisters-in-law all day long like before, and there are fewer words of death and demons.

Since moving to Yucheng, this family has begun to change and become harmonious and harmonious.

Maybe it's for this reason that she, like Xiaohuzi, chose to stay in Yucheng.

When she also knew more about the reason came from the man in front of her.

Ma Dali asked casually: "Why?" Suddenly like us in the south? The north is where you were born, but your home and family are here now. I can't bear my family, so I just stay here to study and work, right? ”

"Hmm." Gu Xuan nodded.

Ma Dali smiled heartily and said, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law and I are good friends and good partners. I used to be very shy, but since I followed Ling Ling in this business, I have gradually changed, and many thoughts and thoughts have also changed. You, as long as you get along with your eldest brother and sister-in-law more, you will most likely change. ”

Gu Xuan let out a low "um", looked at him shyly, and buried his head instead.

"I ...... May I write to you? ”

Forehead?

Ma Dali was slightly stunned, and some couldn't react.

"Yes! But—we're so close that we can't even write letters. No! Is there anything you can't say face-to-face? Or—"

Suddenly, he found that Gu Xuan behind him was flushed, and he was stunned.

Next, he unknowingly made a big red face.

“…… Write...... What letter? I...... I can do it all. ”

Gu Xuan blushed when he saw him, knowing that he should have guessed it.

She's going to run away—

"Wait! Be careful! Ma Dali was startled and shouted nervously: "There are stones everywhere here, don't stumble!" ”

Gu Xuan stopped, didn't know what he thought, and suddenly raised his eyes bravely to look at Ma Dali.

"I-I didn't expect to be admitted to Chongqing University. But I thought you were there, so I studied hard and worked hard. I want to be with you...... So, no matter what the major, I'm willing to accept it. If it's a teacher major, I can be closer to you. If it's librarianship, I'll probably like it better. But it must be Yuda, otherwise I don't want it all. If...... If I can't get into Chongqing University this time, I will choose to repeat it again because I want to be closer to you. ”

With that, she buried her head and walked to the big kitchen.

Ma Dali blushed and flew, and did not move for most of the day.

In the next few days, Ma Dali wandered from time to time, and occasionally blushed.

After Chen Xingling saw him two or three times, the fox asked if he was sick.

"Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red? ”

"Nope!" Ma Dali dodged: "I just-I just went to the kitchen to wring the hot water." ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help muttering: "Is the kitchen that hot?" ”

Ma Dali was so embarrassed that he said, "That-I'm really fine!" ”

Chen Xingling heard him say that it was okay, so he didn't take it to heart.

Until the next evening, when she was about to call it a day and go home, Gu Xuan shyly handed her a brand-new envelope.

"Sister-in-law, please give it to you...... Ma Dali. ”

Chen Xingling took it casually and asked slightly, "Give a big gift?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Xuan blushed and whispered: "Sister-in-law, you said that you took the initiative to show favor to my brother at the beginning." I thought you were brave. My eldest brother is very shy, and maybe he will never dare to take the initiative. It turns out that you are doing well and happily now. So, I'm going to learn from you...... Take the initiative to pursue your own happiness. ”

After that, she hurriedly ran away.

Chen Xingling pinched the letter, and then remembered his friend's "strange" reaction in the past few days, and couldn't help laughing.

She was not a cowardly person, so she turned around and went directly to Ma Dali and handed over the letter.

"Okay, it's still not good, just say something accurate!"
