After this surprise inspection, Li Wei became more cautious. He only dares to bring a box of postcards with him every time, and he even dares not take the posters to the school. Usually, after someone comes to ask about it, Li Wei will bring the posters the next day, and then give money to trade them after he sees them.
Li Wei's aunt Bai Li came forward to act as a matchmaker for Li Xia, and Li Xia met with He Chao several times in private. He Chao is tall, and although he is not handsome, he is handsome and generous. Li Xia, who had tried several times but failed to do so, finally nodded and agreed to the marriage this time.
Zhang Weihong was extremely happy when she saw that her daughter had finally settled down. After all, she thought He Chao was reliable. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that Li Xia can live peacefully and no longer waver after she has her own little family.
On November 20, the two got engaged.
On the day of the engagement, Li Minghua came back and brought back seventy yuan. Thirty yuan was a gift and twenty yuan was Li Wei's living expenses.
Li Mingguo saw that Li Minghua was quite generous, so he couldn't help but tease him: "Your business is doing well, right?"
Li Minghua said: "I can barely get by, just to make ends meet."
"It's okay for you. You will become famous gradually. After the New Year, I will come to your place to help. Farming here is boring."
Li Minghua coughed twice and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, our shop is not big now. If you go there, I'm afraid you won't even have a place to sleep. We won't be famous for our small troubles. Let's talk about it later. Bar."
Li Minghua told the truth, but Li Mingguo didn't think so. He would think that Li Minghua was stingy and didn't want to participate. Therefore, there was a faint look on his face, but he couldn't say anything clearly.
When school was over, Li Wei came back.
Li Wei saw a heartfelt smile on her father's face: "Dad is back!"
"Yes, come back and have a look. Isn't your sister engaged? As an uncle, you should show your face."
That's true. Li Wei saw Li Xia in new clothes and makeup. He Chao has gone back, and although Li Xia's face is a little tired, she can't hold back the happiness.
This time, Li Xia must have met her rightful husband.
After having dinner here, Li Minghua went home, and Li Wei followed him.
After returning home, Li Minghua sat in the main room and smoked one cigarette after another. Li Wei couldn't stand it anymore and went over to persuade her: "Dad, don't smoke so much. My second brother said that smoking too much is bad for your health."
"Go, go. Do your homework and don't mind my business." Li Minghua frowned, looking worried. Li Wei is used to watching people's words and secretly wondering if something is going on.
She went back to her room and started immersed in her homework. In the third year of junior high school, she had a heavy workload. It was almost 11 o'clock before she finished writing the last question. It's still early, and sometimes I can't finish my homework until 12 o'clock.
Early the next morning, Li Minghua returned to the city.
The next night, Li Wei and Li Xia still shared the same bed. Li Xia looked at the tent ceiling in a daze. When Li Wei finished her homework and went to bed, Li Xia wanted to talk to her.
"I'm going to get married on May Day next year. Doesn't that mean you have no freedom now that you're married?"
"It's useless for you to ask me, I'm not married." What Li Wei wants to do most now is sleep.
Li Xia smiled: "That's right, I asked the wrong person. But I don't want to get married so early. His mother feels a little difficult to get along with. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely be tense in the future."
Speaking of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Li Wei has been a concubine and a queen mother. She has been a daughter-in-law, but she died before she could become a mother-in-law.
After her cousin the Queen left, there were other concubines around the late Emperor, and there were several who were higher in status than her. She always keeps a low profile, doesn't compete for favor, and doesn't push herself to stand out. Her mother-in-law rarely notices her, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is pretty good. But she had a deep understanding of the fact that her biological mother was not favored by her grandmother when she was in Shangshu Mansion.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a problem in the world no matter where it is.
"It's useless for you to worry about this now. It's always smelly and smells far away. Just keep a good distance."
It is easy for Li Wei to say this, but it is difficult to do it.
Li Xia turned around and lay face to face with Li Wei.
"Is there a boy you like?"
Facing Li Xia's sudden question, Li Wei was a little stunned for a moment.
"I'm still a student, and learning is the most important thing. Let's not talk about this."
Li Xia laughed when she heard Li Wei's words: "You're coaxing me. You made such a big fuss and you forgot about it in less than a year. Tell me secretly, what does the boy you like look like? Is he handsome?" Is he tall? What do you like about him?"
Facing Li Xia's series of questions, she couldn't answer any of them. Not to mention she likes him, she feels a little disgusted when she sees Zhou Bin now.
"Sister, please stop teasing me. It's okay not to mention what happened a long time ago. I'm focused on studying now."
Li Xia saw Li Wei's serious look, and it didn't look like he was hiding something.
"After you finish junior high school, do you want to continue studying?"
Li Wei agreed: "Yes. As long as I can keep moving forward."
"Haha, is there another female college student in our village? Do you want to be an official in the future?"
"Who said you will become an official after college. I have never thought about it that way. It's still far away. Let's not talk about it for now. I want to sleep." Li Wei lay face down and took the initiative to end the topic.
Li Xia was very excited and couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning. Not long after, Li Wei fell into a deep sleep. Li Xia fell into fantasy about her future marriage again, worrying about gains and losses.
The results of the midterm exam are out, and Li Wei is still in the mid-20s, making little progress. She asked the teacher about her grades.
"Can I successfully pass into high school with my current grades?"
Teacher Song thought for a while before telling Li Wei: "If you want to get into high school well, you have to work hard. Your current score is obviously not good enough."
Li Wei lowered her head. She had worked hard recently, but it seemed she still couldn't do it. She misses Li Jianbo's tutoring very much. The second brother is indeed somewhat capable of simplifying complex and difficult exercises.
"Don't be sad. You still have one semester to work hard, and maybe you can make a splash."
Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay."
"As long as you focus all your attention on your studies, don't think about other tricks." Teacher Song received a report that Li Wei was selling small items privately. Isn't this disruptive to order? Unfortunately, he never caught the evidence.
"By the way, the sports meet is coming soon. Why didn't you sign up for the event?"
"I signed up for a shot put. Didn't the teacher see it?"
Teacher Song then patted his head and said, "Okay, you go down."
Li Wei bowed and then withdrew.
After Li Wei left, the teacher in the same office started joking with Teacher Song.
"Li Wei in your class is really awesome."
"What does she do?"
"When I was in art class, I drew a picture of chrysanthemums that was better than mine. No wonder I won a prize. If you cultivate it well, it might become a seedling in the future."
However, for Teacher Song, Li Wei is now causing him a headache.
