It was a chilly winter night. Li Wei sat on the back of the motorcycle that Li Jianping had just bought, put on her helmet, and held on to the corner of her brother's clothes.
Li Jianping was riding his bike, thinking about the words his sister had just said to him, but no one should be the master of his marriage.
When she got home, Liu Chunzhi couldn't wait to ask her daughter: "Have you told him everything?"
Li Wei said: "I told you, but he didn't tell me whether eldest brother was willing or not. That's his business."
When Liu Chunzhi heard this, she thought that there was no difference between this and not saying anything. It seemed that she could not count on her daughter. She pushed Li Wei away and was about to ask her son directly, but Li Wei stopped her mother and said, "Mom, you Let the eldest brother calm down. This matter cannot be forced. What kind of era is this? The idea of parents ordering matchmakers does not work for eldest brother. "
"I am doing this for his own good, am I still wrong?"
"You are right, and so is eldest brother. Let him think for himself, otherwise he will have to say it's all your fault when the two of them fight and quarrel in the future."
Liu Chunzhi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let him go for now." Liu Chunzhi glanced at her daughter again. Her daughter had grown a lot in the past two years, and she was already a full head taller than her.
"Wei, are you too tall? I'm afraid it won't be easy to get married if you are too tall."
Li Wei was drinking water and almost choked. She didn't know what to say. She said, "Mom, are you still worried that I'm too tall? I'm not too tall now, only 1.65 meters." The height is just right.”
Liu Chunzhi didn't say anything more. Li Wei had already gone back to his room. Wang Yulan was folding clothes on the bedside when she saw Li Wei come in and gave her a sweet smile.
"Yu Lan, I have a day off tomorrow, shall we go shopping together?"
"Okay." Wang Yu agreed readily, but immediately realized that there was still a lot of work in the store, and she said a little depressed: "No, I have to go to the store to help."
"It's okay. I'll tell my elder brother and give you a half-day leave." Li Wei saw that Wang Yulan was still wearing old clothes from a few years ago. She had grown taller, and those clothes were obviously not suitable.
"Yulan, you should also buy two suitable clothes. You have been working for so long. I have never seen you buy any new clothes for yourself. How about we go shopping tomorrow to buy clothes?"
Wang Yulan looked embarrassed. Most of the wages she earned were sent to her family for her younger siblings to study. Now that they had room and board at the Li family, it didn't cost much, so she only kept a small amount for herself every time.
Buy new clothes? She thought about her purse, maybe enough to buy a pair of pants. Seeing that Li Wei was so enthusiastic, she couldn't let Li Wei look down on her, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay."
There was no need to go to school, so Li Wei slept until she woke up naturally. When she got up, Wang Yulan had already tidied the house and washed the clothes. Everyone else in the family was out.
"Are you hungry? I made sugar-coated eggs. They're still warm. I'll give you a bowl."
Li Wei nodded.
The two girls of similar age had breakfast together, and Li Wei changed her clothes for going out. The weather was cold, so she wore a thick sweater inside, a sky blue down jacket, and a pair of blue jeans. The pants were a bit tight, covering her long legs, and she wore a pair of cleaned Huili canvas shoes on her feet. She had a high ponytail, full of youth.
"Wei Wei, you have such a good figure." Wang Yulan looked envious.
"Okay? My mother also said that no one will want me when I grow too tall." Li Wei stuck out his tongue and said playfully.
The two met and went out. It was already ten o'clock in the morning, but the thin fog still did not dissipate. It was the weekend and there were quite a few pedestrians on the street. The two girls walked together, stopping and stopping along the way, looking at this house and that house. Always stop for a while when you see someone you like.
Li Wei took a fancy to a windbreaker and inquired about the price of three hundred yuan. This number was undoubtedly too expensive for them.
Wang Yulan also thought the windbreaker looked good-looking, but she had no money in her pocket and could only look at it eagerly.
"It's normal for me to be a student and have no money. You have already gone out to work. I heard my mother said that the monthly salary for you is about two hundred yuan. Do you have no money?"
Wang Yulan said shyly: "I have no money. I sent all my salary home, saying I have no place to use the money."
"You need to support your whole family? Then your burden is too heavy."
Wang Yulan nodded.
Li Wei thought to herself that if the two families really became one, the eldest brother would have to subsidize the Wang family and provide for Yulan's younger siblings to study. If her younger siblings were capable and were admitted to college, they would all have to help support it. Then her elder brother is working too hard. Although their family's life is a little better, the money doesn't come from strong winds. Li Wei could already foresee the future, and suddenly he was not so optimistic about this marriage.
"Yu Lan, you are so sincere. I will give it to you if I ask you to. And you haven't left anything for yourself. I think you can't do anything if you don't have money in this era. It's better to leave some money for yourself to protect yourself."
Wang Yulan said: "The family is in trouble, so naturally I have to sacrifice a little as the eldest sister. It will be fine when my younger siblings come out in a few years."
After hearing this, Li Wei couldn't persuade him anymore. The two looked around and bought nothing. Li Wei invited Wang Yulan to drink tea at a small shop by the river.
One yuan a cup, unlimited water refills, enough to drink all afternoon.
For the former Li Wei, a cup of ordinary jasmine tea was several times stronger than the tea drunk by the palace maid. She doesn't pay attention to these things anymore. I saw a newsstand opposite, so I bought a newspaper and opened it. International news, social news, and entertainment and sports news.
Li Wei was not very interested in other news, so she specifically chose entertainment news to read. She did not miss every detail. There are introductions to recent popular TV series, as well as various gossips about popular film and television stars. She read it word by word, not missing every detail, but she still couldn't find a single word about Zhao Qian.
He was not popular, and he could only play a small role in the TV series, so it was still difficult for her to collect information about this man even if she tried her best.
"Weiwei, what does this character mean?" Wang Yulan asked Li Wei, pointing to a thick black font.
Li Wei glanced at Fang and said, "Pronounce this character 'gua' three times. That's the character for widow."
It's a very common word, but there are a few more strokes, and Wang Yulan can't tell the difference. Her education was limited and her grades were not good when she was studying. At that time, I probably hadn't figured it out yet, and I was the kind of person who couldn't improve my grades no matter how hard I tried.
Li Wei read the entire entertainment section, and only saw a line on the last news item: "The Full Moon Sword, adapted from the famous martial arts novel, will start filming in Zhejiang Province in March for a period of six months. It will star Zhang Zihan and co-star The actor has not yet been determined. We will also provide follow-up relevant reports.”
As far as Li Wei knows, Zhao Qian and Zhang Zihan have collaborated in two dramas. Will Zhao Qian be included in this drama
