struggle in a small town

Chapter 20

Knowing about the school, Lin Zhiyuan started to say something else: "You go back to your hometown, is your boyfriend willing to let you go?"

Zhang Xuejiao smiled helplessly: "Do you think I look like someone who has a boyfriend?"

"You are so beautiful, haven't you talked about it before?"

"It's superficial." Zhang Xuejiao directed him: "Bring the beef over there first, and then two corns."

Lin Zhiyuan helped to dismantle them and put them one by one on the grill, and then asked, "Are you asking too much?"

Zhang Xuejiao thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Zhang Xuejiao skillfully grilled the skewers: "He's a man who lives, can chat, and has common hobbies."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at her side face: "To be honest, you are really demanding."

"Is it tall?"

"Quite high." Lin Zhiyuan gave her an analysis: "If you want a car or a house, many men can satisfy them. But if you want to have common hobbies, it's hard to meet a suitable one if you can chat."

Zhang Xuejiao thought about it, and it really happened.

No wonder I'm 28 and haven't dated yet, so I'm too demanding?
Lin Zhiyuan continued the routine: "Tell me about your hobbies, and let me hear if it's too small."

"How is it possible. I usually play games, play board games, and read novels. They are all very ordinary."

"It's even harder to find you."

Zhang Xuejiao was very surprised: "Why?"

"Your hobbies are very common and normal when viewed separately. But together, it is difficult for anyone to match them all."

"I didn't ask the other party to comply with everything." Zhang Xuejiao was quite aggrieved: "If you don't like it, don't do it. I won't force others."

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhiyuan smiled and comforted her: "Perhaps there is such a person who is especially suitable for you."

"Forget it, let's go."

Lin Zhiyuan cleverly changed the subject, so as not to inquire too much and make Zhang Xuejiao disgusted.

Anyway, today's harvest is already very rich.

The beggar chicken was wrapped in mud and buried in the soil, and a fire was lit on it, just waiting for it to be cooked.

Several people put beer drinks into the river water. Although it did not achieve the effect of a refrigerator, it was cooler than normal temperature.

Except for Zhang Xuejiao who was grilling meat, and Lin Zhiyuan who was striking up a conversation, the others were temporarily idle, sitting around and playing board games.

Lin Zhiyuan glanced back: "Is your sister usually busy?"

"Okay."

"I didn't see her coming with you on Friday either."

Zhang Xuejiao casually sprinkled a handful of cumin, and flipped through the skewers: "I'm five years younger than her. She has her own social circle, so it's impossible for her to be tied to me all the time."

Lin Zhiyuan moved his nose: "The smell comes out, I'm hungry."

"I'll give you the first skewer when it's cooked."

"Thank you Miss Jiao~"

Zhang Xuejiao smiled and shook her head: "I'm younger than you."

Eating barbecue, drinking drinks, and playing board games, Lin Zhiyuan was in a good mood throughout the afternoon.

Even in his memory, he has never had such an experience as an adult, being able to relax and play a game without thinking about anything.

Especially when there is a girl I like by my side, the beauty is like a dream.

It's getting dark, it's time to go home.

Everyone cleaned up the venue, put all the garbage into plastic bags and took it away, and put out the open fire with river water. After confirming that there was no problem, they drove away one after another.

The return journey took a different route, and Gao Peng got into Xin Bo's car.

Zhang Xuejiao dragged Zhang Yuqiao and Lin Zhiyuan to the city.

When he was approaching the urban area, Lin Zhiyuan's cell phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was from Chen Lei.

He hesitated a little, but still answered: "Hello?"

A sharp female voice came out of the microphone: "Lin Zhiyuan, did you take money from the shop?"

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Liu Li.

Lin Zhiyuan took the phone away, wondering, "What money do I get?"

"The account in the store can't be matched." Liu Li was full of anger: "Who else is there besides you?"

Lin Zhiyuan laughed angrily: "You let Chen Lei answer the phone, I won't tell you."

"I'm telling you Lin Zhiyuan, the money will be used to buy you a coffin, don't come to my family Chen Lei in the future!"

The phone hangs up.

Liu Li's voice was too loud, even if the hands-free was not turned on, the two people in front could hear clearly.

Zhang Yuqiao turned her head: "Who is it? You speak so badly."

Lin Zhiyuan reluctantly installed his mobile phone, and briefly talked about the car wash shop.

Zhang Yuqiao was filled with righteous indignation: "Who would do such a thing? Obviously you spent time, energy, and money, and you will be scolded in the end!"

Zhang Xuejiao's mood was also affected: "Forget it, just spend money to buy a lesson, don't worry about this kind of thing in the future, and don't associate with this kind of person."

"Chen Lei has known me for many years, I." Lin Zhiyuan sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect this to happen."

The phone rang again, and he saw that it was a call from a car wash worker, so he quickly connected it.

"Brother Lin, a woman came here today, she said it was the proprietress, she made a fuss in the store and smashed the counter."

"Are you all right?"

"We are all suffering, what can we do? I am just worried about you, and I heard that she is going to trouble you."

Lin Zhiyuan was quite moved, but also felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I brought you here, but I left first."

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll leave."

After saying a few more words, I hung up the phone.

Lin Zhiyuan leaned against the back of the chair, only feeling a headache, raised his right hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Although I knew that Liu Li was stingy and difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect that she would curse herself to death?

There is also the matter of money. Since my sister-in-law came, I have never touched money again, and the account cannot be reconciled. Instead of looking for my sister-in-law, I came to myself?
Fortunately, all the previous accounts were printed out, no matter who came, it was impossible to frame him.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at him several times worriedly, seeing that he had been pinching the bridge of his nose, she couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lin Zhiyuan raised his head, his eyes met her in the rearview mirror: "I'm sorry, it affected your mood."

Zhang Xuejiao withdrew her gaze: "It's good that it's okay. Brother Lin, are you short of money? I have a lot of money."

"I have no shortage."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the back of her head, thinking that this girl is quite simple, she has only known her for a long time, and she dared to lend him money.

"I have something to talk about." Zhang Xuejiao said sincerely, "We are all friends. If you need help, just speak up. There is nothing embarrassing."

"It's all right."

This time Zhang Xuejiao put Lin Zhiyuan at the gate of his community, and advised him to open up more, and not to ruin his health due to unworthy popularity.

After the car started, Zhang Yuqiao asked her with a smirk, "You two chatted all afternoon, have you taken a fancy to him?"

"Nonsense. I can't ignore people who come to chat with me, right?"

"He must have taken a fancy to you." Zhang Yuqiao vowed: "From my experience, if a man has nothing to do to come to your side, he must be interested in you."

Zhang Xuejiao didn't think so: "I sent him off twice, maybe he thinks I'm easy to get along with."

"I'm serious, don't you believe me!" Zhang Yuqiao smiled: "I think Brother Lin is not bad, do you want to think about it?"

Zhang Xuejiao glared at her: "Are you idle? Take a lump of coal and rush it under the faucet."
