Chapter 60: There is no shortage of friends
"Hehe, Meimei, do you know each other?" Zhang Qin asked with a smile.
Pretending not to see the smell of gunpowder between the two, or the smell of gunpowder unilaterally by his daughter.
Xia Yatou didn't want to take care of her daughter at all.
"Mom, she's the one who bullied Minjing." Li Mei said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhang Qin's face also faded.
But she didn't target Xia Youzhi, she didn't like her daughter.
"Oh, that's your two-faced classmate." Zhang Qin said unceremoniously.
If you want to say that Xia Youzhi bullied Song Minjing, she doesn't believe it a hundred times.
As far as she knows Song Minjing, it's good not to go to the yin of others.
and her own daughter believed her words.
"Mom, why do you say that?" Li Mei looked at Zhang Qin in disbelief.
Last time, Song Minjing came to live at home, and her attitude was indeed not very good.
But she had already driven Minjing back for her mother.
Because of this, she still feels a little guilty.
"If you don't say that, how do you say that?" Zhang Qin didn't care about her daughter's mood, "Have you forgotten what your mother told you last time?" Don't just look at people with your eyes, but with your heart. β
How did he raise such a simple girl, it's terrible to think about.
Xia Youzhi stood silently aside.
She didn't plan to participate in this conversation between the mother and daughter, after all, it was someone else's family affair.
But she was also glared at by Li Mei, "Did you tell my mother something?" β
Otherwise, her mother wouldn't have refuted her like that.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right.
"You must have said bad things about Minjing, you bad guy." Li Mei said angrily.
The sound of suona in her ears couldn't cover her high decibels, causing others to look over here.
"Meimei." Zhang Qin scolded sharply, "Mom is very disappointed in you, I didn't expect you to become like this now." β
"Mom." Li Mei looked at Zhang Qin in disbelief.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Qin and Li Bolin were reluctant to speak hard to her.
Today, because of Xia Youzhi, they all treated her like this?
"Meimei, it's me and your dad who are too used to you. makes you so indistinguishable from wrong, and is so rude to people. Zhang Qin lowered his voice coldly.
Today is a big day, and she doesn't want to educate her daughter on this occasion, but she is really outrageous.
"Why am I being rude?" Li Mei died without repentance, and said hardly.
"You!" Zhang Qin is extremely angry.
"Aunt Zhang, don't be angry. Today's big day, there is no need to be angry, and there may be some misunderstanding between me and Li Mei. Xia Youzhi on the side said.
The pick-up team is about to come back, and Xia Youzhi doesn't want the mother and daughter to be stiff because of themselves.
Zhang Qin endured it.
"You don't have to be kind." Li Mei said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhang Qin wanted to open his mouth to teach Li Mei a lesson again, but Xia Youzhi preemptively said, "Li Mei, today is your cousin's big joy, this occasion is not suitable to say this, if you are for the good of your family, we will talk about it later." β
Li Mei thought about it and endured her rebuttal.
Zhang Qin glanced at Li Mei angrily, took Xia Youzhi's hand, and sat next to him.
Li Mei was very aggrieved, but she was still unconvinced.
glanced at Zhang Qin and Xia Youzhi, and sat down in the corner on the other side.
"Youzhi, don't mind, Meimei was spoiled by me and her father, but she didn't have any bad intentions." Zhang Qin sighed.
Xia Youzhi smiled slightly, reached out and shook Zhang Qin's hand, "Aunt Zhang, I don't mind, I understand." β
Li Mei has parents like Zhang Qin and Li Bolin, how bad can it be.
"How old are you?" Zhang Qin didn't plan to continue that bad topic.
"I'm seventeen years old." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
"That's a year younger than Meimei." Zhang Qin was a little surprised, "Are you still studying?" β
The girl who is so capable and generous is one year younger than her daughter.
Thinking of Li Mei's naivety, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Compared to Xia Youzhi, his own daughter is really too far behind.
Xia Youzhi nodded, "After this summer, I will be in my third year of high school." β
"Are you in your third year of high school? This can't be the same as Meimei? Zhang Qin was surprised.
Originally, seeing Xia Youzhi so calm, I thought that the children in the countryside were in charge early, but I didn't expect to be still reading.
But think about it, Xia Youzhi doesn't look like a child from the countryside.
In the light of the calcium carbide, the things in Zhang Qin's mind were connected all of a sudden.
Mei Mei said that it was the girl who bullied Song Minjing who was in tune with her, could it be ......
Young?
Zhang Qin looked at Xia Youzhi, surprised and regretful.
In this way, this girl's behavior makes sense.
The personality is indifferent, and the work is calm, as if from a big family.
Xia Youzhi was a little confused, she didn't understand how Zhang Qin looked at her, and her eyes suddenly changed.
"Young, where did you study?" Zhang Qin continued to ask.
"I used to be in Haizhou No. 1 Middle School." Xia Youzhi's answer.
She never bothered to hide her past.
Hearing Xia Youzhi's answer, Zhang Qin was even more affirmative.
"Hehe, when school starts, Meimei will also transfer to the city No. 1 middle school to study, her grades are average, my father and I hope that the learning atmosphere of the city No. 1 middle school will be better, let her work hard, work hard." Zhang Qin said with a smile.
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, the teachers of the No. 1 Middle School in the city are good, and the students are all very hard-working." Xia Youzhi said.
After all, it can be said that it brings together the best students in Haizhou City.
Although there are some related households, the proportion is still very small.
When Zhang Qin heard Xia Youzhi say this, she became more determined in her decision to choose to go to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School.
I was able to go this time, thanks to her niece and son-in-law on her mother's side.
I have to thank them when I look back.
Zhang Qin was chatting happily when suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers at the door.
"Mom, I'm back." Li Mei shouted loudly.
She was worried that she couldn't find a chance to interrupt Xia Youzhi to talk to her mother, but now it's okay.
Zhang Qin put away the smile on her face and nodded lightly.
This time, she made up her mind to ignore Li Mei first, and she had to let her reflect on it.
Zhang Qin took Xia Youzhi's hand and got up, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the door and have a look." β
Xia Youzhi nodded.
The two of them walked out the door.
At this time, the door was already full of people, and the big guys were crowded at the door to watch the bride.
The sound of suona is even more deafening, and there are boiling human voices.
After a while, Xia Youzhi was squeezed into the corner of the door by the crowd.
Zhang Qin was not far in front, but the crowd was crowded, and he couldn't take care of Xia Youzhi.
I don't know who shouted, "The bride is here." β
The crowd pushed forward.
In the early 90s, everyone liked to join in the fun, and the adults and children in the village came.
There were also two young men on the side handing out candy.
The crowd stretched out their hands to move forward, and now they are still very rare for candy.
Xia Youzhi waited quietly in the corner, and through the gap in the crowd, he saw the bride in a white wedding dress.
In this era, the people who can wear wedding dresses are basically city people.
The Li family has a good background, and marrying a daughter-in-law this time is considered a bloody investment.
It is rare for the countrymen to see a bride dressed like this, and the crowd is even more crowded.
A push, Xia Youzhi felt that someone had bumped into him, and he was a little painful.
Turning his head to look to the side, it was Li Mei.
"I'm sorry."
Li Mei blushed and said words of apology.
Anyway, one yard is one yard, and after hitting someone, Li Mei still decided to apologize.
But the apology was a little small, and it was quickly overshadowed by the suona and the shouts of the crowd.
Xia Youzhi didn't really hear it, so he ignored it.
Li Mei was even more unhappy when she saw it.
What does this person mean, she apologized to herself, and she still looked at herself?
There was a fire in my heart, and I had nowhere to vent, and I wanted to squeeze back into the house.
But there were so many people that I was knocked down as soon as I turned around.
Li Mei was startled, but fortunately, a slender arm on the side grabbed her.
Xia Youzhi held Li Mei steady, "Be careful." β
"Hmm." Li Mei said in a sullen voice.
The bride was sent all the way to the ancestral shrine in the village.
The crowd finally dispersed, and Xia Youzhi's tightly knit brows relaxed slightly.
looked around, but Zhang Qin was nowhere to be seen.
"My mother should have followed her to the ancestral shrine." Li Mei looked at Xia Youzhi and said.
Xia Youzhi nodded.
"Otherwise. Come with me and sit down. Li Mei said uncomfortably by touching her neck.
"Hmm." Xia Youzhi replied lightly.
With that, he turned and went back into the house.
Li Mei was stunned for a moment, how could she feel that she was the guest.
The sound of chopping vegetables, stir-frying, and talking outside the house were mixed, but it did not make Li Mei less embarrassed.
After being silent for a long time, Li Mei finally spoke.
"Xia Youzhi, if you don't harass Min Jing anymore, maybe ...... Maybe the two of us can become friends. β
She found that Xia Youzhi was not so annoying.
Perhaps, they can really become friends, as long as she doesn't target Min Jing anymore.
When Xia Youzhi heard this, he glanced at the naΓ―ve Li Mei in a word.
"What do you look at?" Li Mei saw Xia Youzhi's eyes as if she was looking at a fool, and she suddenly became angry.
"Nothing." Xia Youzhi said lightly.
"Then what you said to me ...... just now"
"I'm not interested."
"What?" Li Mei looked at Xia Youzhi in a daze.
Is she refusal?
"I'm not interested in targeting Song Minjing, and of course, I'm not interested in being friends with you." Xia Youzhi said bluntly.
Although she likes Zhang Qin a lot, she will not become friends with Li Mei against her will because she gives Zhang Qin face.
She has no shortage of friends, let alone friends who are mixed with Song Minjing.
Li Mei didn't expect Xia Youzhi to refuse so simply.
She was very aggrieved in her heart, since she was a child, she had never met a girl like Xia Youzhi.
Confident and radiant, it seems that everywhere it goes, it is a luminous body.
But such a person will not go against his heart because of the world.
It's like now, she didn't even look at her mother's face, and directly rejected her.
Li Mei was a little frustrated and didn't speak again.
The two of them didn't say a word until the end of the banquet.
Xia Youzhi said goodbye to Zhang Qin's family, carried a large bag of meat and vegetables and candy from the master's family, and got into Grandpa Gu's ox cart with Uncle Zhang.
"This kid really has a heart." Li Bolin looked at the ox cart and sighed, "This kid also sealed a red envelope." β
That's what he saw when he first checked.
I thought that the child was afraid that their family would not accept it, so he took advantage of his busy situation and quietly gave the red envelope to the person who registered.
"What? This girl gave a red envelope? Zhang Qin was surprised.
Li Bolin nodded, "It's a lot, ten yuan." β
This amount of money can only be given by relatives in the countryside.
"That's a lot." Zhang Qin sighed.
Li Mei was slightly stunned.
Xia Youzhi is really thorough.
"Then you have to hurry up and ask about it when you go back to the factory." Zhang Qin said.
"yes, I know."
Li Bolin sighed.
It's really a snack.
