161 Chapter 160, Mother Pigs Are Rare Seen
Li Xu quickly reached out, she grabbed Liang Huimei’s hand, “Auntie, you know that my brother has been in the army for eight years. In these eight years, not to mention girls, even mother pigs are rarely seen. How is he cold? He just doesn’t know how to get along with girls!”
Hearing Li Xu’s words, Liang Huimei couldn’t help but laugh.
“We’ve known each other for a long time, I can trust your character. I think your younger brother is pretty good. However, it’s still up to the children to decide on this matter,” Said Liang Huimei in a reserved manner.
“Who says otherwise? Even if we talk it out, we can’t decide anything about it. We still have to let the two of them come into contact with each other before we know if it’s appropriate,” Li Xu quickly added, “How about this? I’ll get Xiao Lei to come over later and take Xiaoning out to play. Don’t waste this great weekend.”
Liang Huimei smiled and nodded, “Alright, I’ll get Xiaoning to wait for him at the market entrance later.”
Li Xu stood up happily and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Liang Huimei before returning to the shop.
Once she returned to the shop, she urged Li Lei, who was collecting the money, “Alright, alright, don’t stay here. Xiaoning is waiting for you at the market entrance, hurry up and go over!”
Li Lei took the money from the customer and instructed Ji Yuanyuan, “Quick, give this Sister some change, give her 1.30 Yuan.”
Ji Yuanyuan opened the drawer and said as she took the money, “Uncle, hurry up and go. Don’t make Aunt Xiaoning wait so long. I’ll help Mommy with the work.”
Only then did Li Lei leave hesitantly and awkwardly.
Li Xu was in a particularly good mood. She was much more generous when she was settling the accounts for the customers. She successively rounded up the change for several people.
Only after all the customers in the shop had left did Li Xu sit down.
Ji Yuanyuan brought some water over from the side and handed it to Li Xu, “Mommy, drink some water!”
Li Xu took the glass and took two sips before putting down the glass and carrying Ji Yuanyuan up.
“Yuanyuan, do you want a younger brother or sister?”
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at Li Xu, “Mommy, isn’t it a little too early for you to think about this?”
Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning hadn’t even gotten a chance to match their eight characters, yet she was already fantasizing about hugging her nephews or nieces?
Li Xu still smiled, “Are we still going to Grandpa Qin’s house today?”
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and nodded, “We should go!”
“In that case, when your Uncle Zhang comes over later, ask him to send you over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Kun’s figure appeared at the door.
Seeing Zhang Kun enter the shop, Ji Yuanyuan jumped down from Li Xu’s lap, “Mom, Uncle Zhang always comes to help you with your work, you have to pay Uncle Zhang!”
When Zhang Kun heard this, he happily carried Ji Yuanyuan and raised her high, “Why does Yuanyuan care so much for me? I’m even a little touched.”
Li Xu couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay, I’ll just pay him his salary.”
“Uncle Zhang doesn’t want a salary, just ask your mother to buy you more delicious food,” Zhang Kun teased Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan whispered into Zhang Kun’s ear, “Uncle Zhang, you want it, alright. My Mommy has money.”
Zhang Kun often came to help, so he had a rough idea of how much money the shop would make in a day.
When he heard this, Zhang Kun felt his heart felt warm. For a moment, he felt that they were originally a family.
Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly said, “Send the three of them to Uncle Qin’s place.”
“Okay, I’ll go now!” Zhang Kun carried Ji Yuanyuan home.
On the other side, Li Lei soon arrived at the entrance of the market. After waiting for about five minutes, Meng Xiaoning came over.
Li Lei pushed the bike and walked side by side with Meng Xiaoning, walking all the way out of the market.
“Where are we going?” Meng Xiaoning asked.
Hearing that, Li lei hurriedly said, “Where do you want to go? Do you want to go shopping? Or do you want to watch a movie?”
Meng Xiaoning lowered her head and looked at her toes, “I know there’s a small park nearby. Why don’t we go to the small park for a while so we can talk?”
Yesterday, the two of them hadn’t talked much since there was too noisy in the department store.
It was the same when they were eating. Li Lei only focused on eating.
So after eating, she was a little angry and wanted to go back in a fit of anger.
Who knew that Li Lei didn’t see that she was angry at all and thought that she really wanted to go back.
“Okay, then come on up, I’ll drive you there.”As Li Lei spoke, he had already gotten on the bicycle.
Meng Xiaoning sat on the bicycle with familiarity and grabbed the corner of Li Lei’s shirt.
Li Lei was not very familiar with this area. Under Meng Xiaoning’s command, he finally found the small park.
The park was not big, but the scenery was not bad. A small river ran through the park. On both sides of the river, there were several sets of chairs.
In the morning, this was the place of the grandpas and grandmas. In the evening, the people who came here were replaced by young couples on dates.
It was past nine o’clock, and there was no one in the park.
The two of them chose a seat and sat down.
The chairs were very long, the kind that could seat three people. Meng Xiaoning and Li Lei each sat on the edge. The distance between them could even squeeze one more person.
After sitting down, the two of them did not speak for a long time.
Meng Xiaoning looked at her toes, feeling awkward and anxious.
“Um… Are you busy with work?” Li Lei also sensed the awkward atmosphere, so he took the initiative to ask.
“It’s good, in the clothing factory, I work on the assembly line. I go to work at eight o’clock every day, get off work at five thirty, and have two days off on weekends. There are also gifts and holidays for the New Year’s Eve,” Meng Xiaoning said in a low voice.
Li Lei rubbed his hands awkwardly, “It’s pretty good, the treatment is not bad.”
He paused for a moment and said, “I don’t have a job right now. I’m helping my parents plant a greenhouse at home!”
When Meng Xiaoning heard this, her hands unconsciously intertwined together.
A moment later, she suddenly asked, “Do you not want to go on a blind date? Or are you just not interested in me?”
After Meng Xiaoning asked, Li Lei looked at her in surprise, “No, I… I just…”
I tried for a long time, but he still couldn’t say a complete sentence.
Meng Xiaoning was nervous, but she still mustered up the courage to tell Li Lei clearly.
Although Li Lei was not bad, his attitude had been so cold for two days in a row..
If he was really not interested in her, it would be better to pull out as soon as possible. To prevent her from falling into the trap only for him to say that he had no feelings.
“I don’t know if my sister has told you, I was engaged before.” Li Lei hesitated for a long time before speaking.
Meng Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, then she nodded, “My mother told me, but I was also engaged before, we are the same, no one should despise each other.”
When she said the last sentence, Meng Xiaoning’s face was a little red.
She was a little embarrassed. She realized later that the last sentence was a little too proactive.
“That’s different, I just broke off the engagement less than a month ago. In my heart…”
Hearing Li Lei’s words, Meng Xiaoning’s heart thumped and she blurted out, “You’re still thinking about your ex-fiancée?”
