the next morning. 〖Central〗 Central Party School, in the dormitory.
"Xue Bin, Xue Bin." Roommate Han Xinghua called him, "It's time to get up."
"Brother Han?" Dong Xuebin opened his eyes drowsily and looked at his watch, "Hey, it's already past eight o'clock?"
Han Xinghua smiled and said: "I have to go to the library in the morning. There are no classes today, so there is no need to worry."
"Thank you, Brother Han. If you hadn't called me, I would have had to sleep until noon." Dong Xuebin immediately got out of bed, got dressed, brushed his teeth and washed. In the past two days, he has been busy with marriage proposals. In addition, he sneaked out every night and never had a good sleep. He came back from Sister Xie's house very late yesterday, and all his dreams at night were about marriage. , I was so happy that Dong Xuebin fell asleep in the early morning, so sleepy.
After finishing these, it's almost nine o'clock.
Dong Xuebin was about to go to the library with everyone when he suddenly received a call from Xie Huilan.
"Where are you in the dormitory?" Xie Huilan asked.
"Well, I just came downstairs, what happened?"
"There's no class today. I've asked for leave for you. Can you go out with Sister Xie?"
"Hey, why are you asking for leave? If it affects my evaluation, I won't be able to graduate."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I know their vice-principal, and the principal also has a good relationship with my parents. It doesn't matter if I take two days off."
"where to?"
"Let's talk about it after we meet, at the door."
"Okay, then just wait for me."
The entrance to the party school compound.
Xie Huilan was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man next to the guard room. The middle-aged man was about fifty years old. Dong Xuebin recognized it at a glance. This was the Central Committee who had spoken on stage in the auditorium during their opening ceremony. Vice President of the Party School. It seems that his surname is Wen. Because the principal of the Party School has other duties and the focus is not here, the actual work of the Central Party School is handled by Vice President Wen.
As soon as Dong Xuebin came over, both of them looked at him.
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "Uncle Wen, let me introduce to you. This is my fiancé Dong Xuebin."
Dong Xuebin quickly held his hands and said, "Hello, Principal Wen."
"How about you, young man." Principal Wen chuckled. "I've heard about you, Xiao Dong from Fenzhou City. You are indeed young and promising, great!"
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and said, "We will get married in a few days. Don't come if you don't come then."
Principal Wen joked: "I was afraid you wouldn't give me an invitation." I can't give you an invitation if I don't give it to anyone. It's our honor to have you here. Haha, Xiaobin and I will go do some errands so I won't disturb your work. "
"Go ahead, there will definitely be a lot of things to do before you get married. I'll say hello to your class teachers then, and just let them know when you ask for leave next time."
"Thank you, Uncle Wen, then?"
"Okay, okay, I have watched you grow up. Why should I be polite to you, Uncle Wen?" After saying that, Vice Principal Wen turned to look at Dong Xuebin, smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Lan is better, if you dare to bully her, I won’t spare you, kid.”
Dong Xuebin smiled dryly and said: "No."
After saying a few words, Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin left the party school compound and walked onto the street.
There was no one around. Dong Xuebin asked: "Then Vice Principal Wen has a good relationship with your family?"
"Absolutely." Xie Huilan smiled and said, "It's not particularly close."
Dong Xuebin said speechlessly: "Then how do you say I watched you grow up?"
"Haha, Uncle Wen came to our house several times when he was a child and dealt with my father several times. It is true that he watched me grow up." Xie Huilan explained: "It has been two years since your kid entered the system, right? That's the point. Don't you understand? But there are almost no people who are well-known in the officialdom in Beijing who don't know each other. Some are relatives and some are friends of friends. The relationship is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. , it’s not something that can be easily distinguished by the words of a faction. It’s just me and you, forget it. I guess you won’t understand it, but when you get to this level, you will understand.”
Dong Xuebin curled his lips and said: "Look at you, you are putting on your eldest lady airs again, why can't I understand? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"Haha, not smart anyway."
"Hey, try saying it again!"
"What's wrong? Do you still want to fight with your sister Xie?"
"Don't think that I don't dare to make my brother angry. I'll really beat you up." Dong Xuebin just showed off. He really didn't dare to bully Huilan.
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "Okay, you, Sister Xie, are so happy today. If I don't have the same experience as you, why don't I surrender? Haha..."
Dong Xuebin was so talented. "As for the wedding, do you want to say hello to Fenzhou City? Our colleagues and friends are still over there. Although my aunt said not to invite them, if you don't even say anything, it's Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”
Xie Huilan said calmly: "I can't invite you even if I say it, so it's better not to say it."
"But… "
"Besides, Fenzhou has just had an earthquake and is still being rebuilt, but here we are getting married with great fanfare and joy? What do you want others to think?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"So I won't say anything anymore."
"Then why are you so anxious to call me out today?"
Xie Huilan looked at her watch and said: "My parents said that they are busy with the specific matters of the wedding, but we still have to make the decision on some matters ourselves, such as the wedding dress and wedding photos. My mother and they were afraid that time would be too tight, so they asked us to choose and buy the wedding dress first. , and then we took the wedding photos.”
Hearing this, Dong Xuebin had a bitter look on his face, "Wedding dress, that's too anxious."
"The wedding will be in a few days. Do you still want to buy a wedding dress on the same day?"
"I didn't mean that, I meant it doesn't have to be so... otherwise, how about two days later?"
"Just for today." After saying that, Xie Huilan reached out and hailed a taxi on the roadside. She couldn't help but Dong Xuebin made the decision and sat directly with him. Xie Huilan took advantage of the situation and naturally took Dong Xuebin's arm. "Master, Sorry, go to Wangfujing.”
The driver responded.
"It's too late." Dong Xuebin said depressedly, "I'm not ready yet."
Xie Huilan smiled gracefully, "Are you not ready to take wedding photos or are you not ready to get married? If you are taking photos, you don't need to prepare. I have already contacted you. There are professional makeup artists and stylists there. Just wait until you get there to prepare." If you are not ready to get married, well..." Xie Huilan looked at him with a smile, "Then we won't get married yet? It's still too late to regret it since the invitations haven't been sent out yet."
Dong Xuebin hurriedly said: "Look what you said, what do I regret? I didn't mean that."
"Haha, what do you mean?"
"Me, me..."
Dong Xuebin hesitated for a long time and didn't open it. .
When the taxi stopped outside Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, Xie Huilan saw that Dong Xuebin did not move, so she took the initiative to pay the bill and got off the bus with him.
Xie Huilan walked on the pedestrian street with Dong Xuebin on her arm, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Many people frequently look at Xie Huilan's charming and dignified face, and her return rate is extremely high.
Dong Xuebin rarely went shopping alone with Huilan arm in arm, and his vanity was greatly satisfied for a while, but when he thought of worrying about things, Dong Xuebin's face turned bitter again.
"Here we are, this is it." Xie Huilan stopped.
In front of it is a three-story Parisian bridal shop. There are several styles of wedding dresses displayed behind the glass. You can tell at a glance that they are expensive, at least tens of thousands.
"Let's go?" Xie Huilan tugged on his arm.
Dong Xuebin stood still, and finally pulled Huilan aside. He honestly took out his wallet and handed it to her sadly, "You can see for yourself."
Xie Huilan asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"
"You'll know just by looking at it." Dong Xuebin was very embarrassed.
Xie Huilan touched his wallet and opened it, looking for it in the two compartments. She was stunned for a moment and found that there were only two dollars in the wallet, one was a paper note, and the other was a steel coin. Seeing this ”
Dong Xuebin said bitterly: "Didn't you buy rings for us two? Xiao Sanyi, I guess I won hundreds of millions of yuan in lottery, but the money was a bit insufficient. Later, I borrowed two million from my mother. I borrowed 500,000 from my old boss and emptied all my bank cards to barely get enough. Now I don’t even have the money to buy cigarettes. Why didn’t I buy anything for my uncle and aunt when I went to your house yesterday? ? It’s not that I don’t want to buy it. I only have two dollars in my pocket. What can I buy? It’s not enough to buy several kilograms of apples.”
Xie Huilan tapped his chest slightly with her fingers, "You kid, you just love to show off. If you don't have enough money, don't buy it. Why did you borrow money?"
"I don't think you like that pink diamond. Since you like it, I have to buy it even if I lose all my money."
Xie Huilan's eyes softened and she smiled and gave him a strand of hair. "You are so worried about your sister Xie? Huh?"
"Of course. If I don't stick to you, who should I stick to?"
"Little guy, your mouth is so sweet."
Dong Xuebin hesitated before speaking: "That's the situation anyway, so what, Huilan, can you lend me some money first?"
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "Marriage is not your business alone. Now we are just a couple, how can we borrow it or not?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "It's not appropriate to use your money."
"I said it's appropriate." Xie Huilan took out her wallet, took out a bank card and handed it to him. "There must be hundreds of thousands in it. I forgot the exact amount. This is now our common property, well, probably." I have all my funds and property. I will buy a wedding dress and you will pay for it. The password is my birthday.”
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed." Having said that, Dong Xuebin still took the card and put it in his wallet, coughed and said: "Then I'll hold it for you first. We will probably have to spend a lot of money to get married. You two have to save some money these days and wait until I have the opportunity to make more money.”
Xie Huilan stepped on his hand and said, "Let's go, haha."
