“Brother, how long ago was that?
How old is Chuxia now?” Zhao Qihui gave Zhao Qiliang a glare and pulled Chuxia to her side, “Chuxia, let’s ignore him.
This guy, he’s never comfortable unless he’s pointing out other people’s flaws.”
“Qiliang, drink some water…” Zhao Yulan came in holding an enamel mug, smilingly handing it to her nephew, “Your little aunt added three spoons of sugar, it’s sweet.”
Zhao Qiliang had a black line on his forehead: “Little aunt, I’m already so grown up and still drinking this…” while saying this, he pushed Zhao Yulan’s hand towards Chuxia, “For the greedy girl.”
Chuxia didn’t accept: “I don’t like drinking it.”
Zhao Qiliang said with amusement, “In the past, you would have grabbed it and drunk it without me letting you, and now you’re being polite to your elder brother, heh…, go ahead and drink it.
Are you drooling with longing for it?
Stop pretending, elder brother won’t laugh at you.”
Chuxia was truly speechless.
What image did she have in Zhao Qiliang’s mind?
She couldn’t be bothered to push back and forth with him anymore, so she simply turned around and walked outside: “I’m going to Fat Auntie’s house to see how the preparations are going, I’ll come back and call you guys later.”
The reason Zhao Qiliang came today was to have Luo Gangshun’s family take another look at each other.
Although the date for the engagement had been set, for caution’s sake, it was better for both sides to communicate and understand each other more.
Watching his little cousin’s figure disappear outside the door, Zhao Qiliang turned to Zhao Yulan in confusion: “Little aunt, why do I feel like Chuxia has become a different person?
What happened to her while I was away?”
“Nothing much…” Zhao Yulan then told Zhao Qiliang about the name change incident, and concluded, “But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, your little aunt and uncle, we never dreamed that Chuxia could become so sensible.”
“Little aunt and uncle are good-hearted, of course, they deserve good fortune.”
Zhao Yulan gave her nephew a glare: “You kid, all you do is say nice things to flatter your little aunt.”
“I’m telling the truth.”
“Alright, bro, where are you trying to put me?” Zhao Qihui protested, “Since coming to little aunt’s house, you haven’t stopped praising her, making it impossible for me to get a word in, it’s too much.”
“Alright, alright, you talk, you have the floor.”
Glancing at Zhao Qiliang’s constantly clenched fist, Zhao Qihui laughed: “Brother, only when you’re nervous do you become especially sweet-tongued, really good at coaxing people.”
“Nonsense, what I’m saying is true, where am I coaxing anyone?” Zhao Qiliang glared at his sister, then changed the subject, “Little aunt, I’ve heard about Xiaoqiong’s family’s situation, what’s your plan going forward?
Are you going to let Chuxia take college entrance exams or join the army?”
“We’ll take it one step at a time.
They say that the college entrance examination is going to be restored, but the commune has to issue a certificate, and how could Xue Ligang easily meet our wishes?
Besides, even if he issued the certification, when the time comes to send out the admission notice, if he quietly withholds it, we still wouldn’t have any solution.
Joining the army is another path, but even for this medical corps opportunity, where the physical requirements weren’t so strict, she wasn’t selected, so next time…, sigh!” Sighing, Zhao Yulan didn’t continue.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Qiliang said: “Little aunt, didn’t Regimental Commander Zhou come by our place?
When I go back, I’ll talk to him about this matter and see if he might pay special attention to it in the future.
Anyway, we’re not asking for any special treatment, just to follow the normal process.
Although Commander Zhou is not the easiest to deal with, he’s quite upright and doesn’t put on airs.
If I speak to him about it, it might actually work out.”
“It’s always such a hassle to ask others… how embarrassing.” Zhao Yulan said.
“This is something that is beyond our power, no matter how hard we try, but for Commander Zhou, it’s a matter of one word.
Little aunt, it’s settled then, when I return, I’ll report this matter to Commander Zhou.”
“Qiliang, ever since you were little, you’ve been the one who doted on Chuxia the most.”
Zhao Qihui protested dissatisfiedly: “Little aunt, are you implying I don’t care for Chuxia?”
“When have you ever cared for me?
Always complaining I don’t work in the fields…” Chuxia stepped in and made her complaint against Zhao Qihui, then looked at Zhao Qiliang, “Big brother, tell me the truth, do you like Xiaoqiong?”
“What a thing to say, little girl!” Zhao Qiliang looked at her amusedly, “If I didn’t like her, would I have agreed so readily?
Do you think your elder brother is a fool?”
“Why does elder brother like her?” Chuxia continued to probe deeply.
It wasn’t that she was meddling, but when she had gone to the Luo family a moment ago, Luo Xiaoqiong was so flustered she hardly looked herself.
As her only friend, she had to consider Xiaoqiong’s happiness.
A marriage without love, she couldn’t even imagine it.
