struggle in a small town

Chapter 27 Let me tell you a story
Zhang Yuqiao's words reminded Lin Zhiyuan.

That's right, I had too little contact with Xiaoxue.

If you're lucky, you'll see up to four times a month.

Bad luck, see you only once.

It is not known if she has other suitors.

Lin Zhiyuan subconsciously looked towards the maintenance area, isn't there one over there?
Careless.

Zhang Yuqiao wandered back to the kitchen.

Zhang Xuejiao was pouring warm water into the bowl, preparing to release the sesame paste.

Zhang Yuqiao poked her head out: "Are you the chef today?"

"Mom got most of the things done, but the fish and beef tripe were left for me to deal with."

Putting down the thermos, Zhang Xuejiao picked up the chopsticks and stirred clockwise.

Zhang Yuqiao waited for a while, seeing that Zhang Xuejiao had no intention of speaking, she couldn't help herself: "Why don't you ask me?"

"What is there to ask?"

"You don't want to know Brother Lin's reaction?"

Zhang Xuejiao snorted softly: "You can guess it with your toes, but he doesn't remember it at all."

"how do you know?"

Zhang Xuejiao stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her: "I'm really worried about your students."

"Don't say pull down."

Zhang Yuqiao turned around and went out.

Zhang Xuejiao started stirring the sesame paste again, thinking that Lin Zhiyuan would come in soon, and he would probably apologize for that incident, and then say some kind words on the scene.

As expected, only two minutes later, Lin Zhiyuan came in.

He gently closed the kitchen door and walked to Zhang Xuejiao: "Let me tell you a story."

Zhang Xuejiao was noncommittal.

"Once upon a time, there was a little boy who got No.1 in the exam, and his father rewarded him with a game console. But his mother was afraid that his eyes would be short-sighted, so he could only play for two hours on Saturdays and Sundays."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuejiao could already think of Lin Zhiyuan's mental activities at that time.

It was her, who could only play game consoles for a while on weekends, but was taken up by a novice, so she must be in a bad mood.

"He looks forward to it every day. He wants to play games when he goes to school. Finally, on the weekend, guests come to the house and occupy the game console."

A little boy appeared in Zhang Xuejiao's mind, watching the little girl play games eagerly. As a result, the villain she controlled was killed by a stray bullet within a few steps, and kept restarting.

This situation is really unbearable.

"I'm sorry, the little boy only wanted to play games at the time, and he had no interest in little girls."

Zhang Xuejiao put the leaked sesame paste beside her: "It's been so many years, it won't happen."

Lin Zhiyuan said "It's my fault, I shouldn't scold you", but he was thinking in his heart, yes, after so many years, you still hold grudges.

But does this mean that Xiaoxue has never forgotten herself in these years?

Lin Zhiyuan realized that this is an opportunity given by God!

It's better to hold a grudge than to have no memory at all.

"Xiaoxue, we can get to know each other again."

Zhang Xuejiao was about to speak when Zhang Yuqiao's voice came from outside: "Sister, Zhao Yang is here!"

Lin Zhiyuan knew the priorities: "Let's go out."

"it is good."

Zhao Yang came to see his future father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time, and his whole body stiffened from nervousness.

After careful calculation, he had talked with Zhang Yuqiao for more than three years. In fact, he should have come to the door a long time ago, but he was in college before, and everything had not been settled, how could he dare to come?

Later, I entered a funeral parlor. The salary was low and there were many things to do. It was a bit difficult to support myself, let alone take care of the family.

Although Zhang Yuqiao is not short of money, and her parents don't need to subsidize it themselves, but as a man, there are always promises and responsibilities on his shoulders.

I wanted to wait until I became famous before coming back, but yesterday Zhang Yuqiao's parents gave an ultimatum, if Zhao Yang didn't come to the door, then the two of them should stop talking.

Zhao Yang is in a hurry.

Leaving aside the years of relationship, Zhang Yuqiao is such a good girl, she can find a new one within minutes of leaving him.

In case her parents really want to beat each other, he doesn't even have the right to elope with her.

The story sounds nice, you can give up everything for love.

That's all deceit.

If he really ran away with Zhang Yuqiao, maybe decades of hard work would bring him a better life, but what about the relationship between Zhang Yuqiao and his parents during this period?
Why did Zhang Yuqiao sacrifice her family and work for him?
One cannot be so selfish.

Zhang Yuqiao comforted him, saying that his parents are easy to get along with, and with the help of his sister, this meeting will definitely go smoothly.

Zhao Yang came with trepidation.

Zhang Xuejiao came out with Lin Zhiyuan, saw Zhao Yang sitting on the sofa awkwardly, almost overflowing with nervousness.

Thinking about it, there is a group of people sitting next to him, all of whom are here to inspect him, so it's no wonder that he is not nervous.

Zhang Xuejiao greeted with a smile: "Zhao Yang is here."

"Sister, Brother Lin Ling?"

Zhao Yang's eyeballs were about to fall off.

Zhang Yuqiao had mentioned to him before that Brother Lin and sister were quite suitable, but this was too soon, right?

Brother Ling is mighty.

Lin Zhiyuan knew that Zhao Yang had misunderstood, so he didn't explain.

Why explain?
He wished that others would think he was Zhang Xuejiao's boyfriend.

Lin Zhiyuan replied with a smile: "Hello."

In another occasion, Zhao Yang would definitely ask Zhang Yuqiao, but now he dared not look around, so he continued to say politely, "Hello, Brother Lin."

Zhang Jianguo's already dark face turned even darker the moment Zhao Yang called out "Brother Lin".

He couldn't help looking at Lin Aimin, he didn't expect, he didn't expect, this old fox even lied to me, obviously Xiaoyuan knew my Xiaoxue a long time ago, and he pretended not to know.

Routine!
It's all tricks!
Wang Xiangmei, who was sitting at the top, looked over with a smile: "Is this Xiaoyuan?"

Song Xiuni quickly answered: "This is our Xiaoyuan, mom, look at him, is he different from when he was a child?"

"Grandma." Lin Zhiyuan approached a little closer: "I often hear my mother mentioning you. I should have come to see you a long time ago, but something has been delayed."

Wang Xiangmei waved at him: "Young people are busy. Come, sit here with grandma."

Lin Zhiyuan sat down obediently.

Just kidding, this is Xiaoxue's grandma, if she can make her happy, the matter is equivalent to half the success.

Zhao Yang couldn't hold back anymore, turned his head to look at Zhang Yuqiao, there was a sentence written in his eyes, why does Brother Lin call your grandma grandma?
Zhang Yuqiao whispered to him: "Brother Lin is my grandma's goddaughter."

Only then did Zhao Yang understand.

Zhang Yuqiao groaned and acted coquettishly with Wang Xiangmei: "Grandma, you are biased, why did you only let Brother Lin sit next to you? Zhao Yang wants to sit too."

Zhao Yang shook his head again and again: "It's fine for me to sit here."

Zhang Jianguo coughed, "Hui Fang."

Liu Huifang stood up: "I'm going to work in the kitchen, you guys talk first."

"I'm going to help too."

Song Xiuni followed.

Zhang Xuejiao simply sat where Liu Huifang was just now, and rested her chin on her hand to watch Wang Xiangmei chatting with Lin Zhiyuan.

I have to admit that Lin Zhiyuan is quite good at coaxing the old lady, just talking about his life these years makes the old lady smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Zhiyuan brought the topic to Zhang Xuejiao: "Grandma, I have a good relationship with Xiaoxue. On the day I came back, I met her at the train station."

Zhang Xuejiao sat up straight: "What?"

"In August, I came back by train from out of town and met you on the platform."

"real or fake?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and reminded: "Your hair got caught in the zipper of a passerby's schoolbag, do you remember?"

Zhang Xuejiao thought about it, but she didn't remember: "Forgot."
