struggle in a small town

Chapter 58 Should I Ask?
Today is the Lantern Festival, and the mall is only open for half a day.

Zuo Ting called at eight o'clock and said that she had gone to the back to check, and there was a notice of closure of the shop posted on the door.

Zhang Xuejiao originally wanted to go to the store, but changed her mind after hearing this: "Thank you for your hard work today, I have something to take care of."

Lin Zhiyuan sipped his porridge with his head down, wondering if she would deal with me?
In order to delay the time, he took the initiative to clean up the kitchen after breakfast.

Zhang Xuejiao didn't think much about it at all, went to the balcony to get a ladder and a tool bag, and climbed up to continue the unfinished work.

When Lin Zhiyuan came out after finishing his work, he saw her twisting the screws on the clothes rail.

"Didn't I say I'm coming?"

Zhang Xuejiao didn't even turn her head: "I'll take care of the little things myself."

Lin Zhiyuan could only go over and hold the ladder.

Zhang Xuejiao lowered her head: "No need to support, the triangle is the most stable."

"This job should be left to me."

Zhang Xuejiao thought that he felt that he couldn't do it, so she almost patted her chest to assure: "I made all the ones in the store. I have enough experience. Don't worry."

"What are you doing this for?"

"Hanging clothes! Isn't it obvious?"

Lin Zhiyuan was really defeated.

He could only change the question: "Didn't you want to make a background wall?"

"Yes." Zhang Xuejiao tightened the last screw and put on the decorative cap: "I'm sure you won't be able to take photos at high places, so the space can't be wasted. It can be used to hang the changed clothes then."

Putting the screwdriver aside, she walked down the ladder.

Lin Zhiyuan quickly stretched out his hand.

Zhang Xuejiao was stunned for a moment, then slowly put her hand on his in doubt, seeing that he was grasping it tightly, she couldn't help laughing: "It's just such a small height, I jumped off, I don't need support."

At this moment, Lin Zhiyuan really felt that he was just a decoration.

After everything was cleaned up, Zhang Xuejiao sat on the sofa and drank water.

Lin Zhiyuan silently waited for her to lose her temper.

After drinking the water, Zhang Xuejiao stretched her waist, looked at the sky outside the window, and strolled to the balcony.

Soon there was the sound of the washing machine running.

Lin Zhiyuan was really, really confused by her.

Could it be that the ex-girlfriend photo incident just passed away?
It's too easy, isn't it?
Are you holding back your big move?
When Zhang Xuejiao turned around from the balcony, she seemed to remember something: "I have something to tell you."

Lin Zhiyuan raised his heart suddenly.

What should come will always come and cannot be avoided.

Zhang Xuejiao sat next to him: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and tomorrow is the end of the new year. The store must carry spring clothes. Those clothing companies I contacted will not deliver until the middle of the month, so I have to go to Xi'an."

"I go with you."

"Go to my house for dinner at night, drive the van away, and take the cart by the way."

Lin Zhiyuan returned to the imperial capital on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and had long forgotten the feeling of spending the Lantern Festival at home: "Good."

After talking about the purchase, Zhang Xuejiao ran to the kitchen again, and quickly brought out two bottles of yogurt: "It's a bit hot, can you drink a bottle too?"

When Lin Zhiyuan received it, he always felt that her reaction was abnormal.

After drinking the yogurt, Zhang Xuejiao collapsed on the sofa, ready to show her presence in the QQ group.

Lin Zhiyuan was stretched to the limit, and patted her arm: "You really have nothing to ask?"

Zhang Xuejiao was absent-minded: "What?"

"That is, you don't want to ask about my ex-girlfriend?"

God knows how entangled Lin Zhiyuan was.

I was afraid that she would know, but she already knew.

Waiting for her to ask, but she refused to speak.

The feeling of waiting to die is too painful.

Zhang Xuejiao's expression changed from being surprised at the beginning to becoming more and more puzzled, and finally froze in embarrassment: "Should I ask?"

Lin Zhiyuan was in a bad mood.

It turned out that she really didn't intend to ask, but instead forced her to ask?

Live like a fool.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Xuejiao said with a sad face: "Okay then, let me ask. What do you two have in common?"

Lin Zhiyuan began to pinch the bridge of his nose.

If it was another woman, they would either ask how many years they had been dating, or why they broke up. Xiaoxue was different, and asked her boyfriend and ex-girlfriend what interests they had in common.

Zhang Xuejiao smiled awkwardly: "Have you brought up your sadness? It's okay if you don't want to answer."

"Didn't sleep well, headache."

After hearing that there was no need to worry about her ex-girlfriend anymore, Zhang Xuejiao showed a relieved expression, and urged him attentively: "Then go to sleep for a while."

Before Lin Zhiyuan fell asleep in a daze, there was only one thought in his mind, and he must not look at Xiaoxue with the brain circuit of a normal person in the future.

Zhang Xuejiao was left alone in the living room, and she suddenly felt much more at ease.

I casually picked up a book and flipped through it, and when the washing machine beeped, I ran to dry the clothes again.

After finishing the housework, she checked the time and turned on the computer.

Lin Zhiyuan opened the door of the master bedroom, just in time to hear Zhang Xuejiao complaining with a big laugh: "Ueno linkage, one death, one death."

What do you mean?
Lin Zhiyuan looked over curiously, it turned out that she was playing a game.

But the picture was something he had never seen before.

"What are you playing?"

Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly took off the earphones: "Is it noisy to you?"

"No." Lin Zhiyuan walked to her side: "What game?"

"LOL."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at it for a while and figured it out: "MOBA?"

"Ah."

Zhang Xuejiao controlled the hero and began to push the tower, and soon three ways were broken, and the five turned to fight the dragon.

There is no suspense anymore.

As for the passerby matchmaking bureau, any resistance is futile in the face of a huge economic gap.

Zhang Xuejiao happily quit the game: "I don't want to cook, why don't I go out to eat?"

"I'll call my parents."

"Your parents are going to my house in the afternoon." Zhang Xuejiao turned off the computer and turned around: "My father's apprentices will also come. Today is the busiest day in my house every year."

Lin Zhiyuan bent down and got closer: "It seems that I haven't kissed me today."

Zhang Xuejiao giggled and put her arms around his neck, offering a sweet kiss.

The two got bored for a while, and Zhang Xuejiao's stomach made a rumbling sound, obviously hungry.

Lin Zhiyuan hugged her funny: "Go~ take my big baby to dinner~"

After lunch, the two went to the supermarket to buy some glutinous rice balls and the like, and then went to the garage.

The living room was full of people, men and women, big and small, but apart from Sun Qiang, Lin Zhiyuan didn't know the rest of the guests.

Presumably they should be the apprentices of the father-in-law.

But the father-in-law was not there.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, fourth brother"

Zhang Xuejiao greeted everyone with a smile, and would reach out to rub the children's heads and give them a sweet toffee.

Lin Zhiyuan stood aside in embarrassment.

It was Sun Qiang who helped him out: "Sister Xiaoxue, why don't you introduce it to everyone?"

Only then did Zhang Xuejiao think of Lin Zhiyuan, and hurried to him and took his arm: "Brothers and sisters-in-law, this is my boyfriend Lin Zhiyuan, Auntie Song's son."

Lin Zhiyuan greeted politely: "Hi everyone."

Among them was a man who looked to be in his forties and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue is quite enlightened."

Everyone chattered: "I didn't expect to be able to drink Xiaoxue's wedding wine."

"Grandma will be happy if you kiss more and more."

Lin Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that these apprentices called Wang Xiangmei grandma.

Well, my mother is right, it feels closer to be called "grandma".

Thank you mom, thank you Aunt Huifang!
