7DLW 18




Chapter 18 Sound out


Outsiders saw Zhao Yan Yan as a sparrow turned into a phoenix. From a farmer baby to a city baby and married an educated young man with a bright future. Before marrying, she bragged every day, saying how great the banquets would be. When she first got married, she also looked at people with her nostrils every day, as if no one was as good as her.

But she hasn't moved out yet to live alone with Han Guang Hui. Wang Gui Yue and Zhou Ping Xiang who were in the same dormitory could always catch some things.

"You don't know about the wedding, do you? Everyone praises the pot stewed meat. Everyone says it's delicious and better than state-run restaurants. Zhao Yan Yan also said that Han Guang Hui would give two jins to her mother to bring back and left the best. Guess what actually happened. Not a single bit was given. Two jins of the most inferior pork were given. Don’t know who Han Guang Hui gave the meat to. This shows that he didn’t place Zhao Yan Yan in his heart at all. Hmph, serve her right.”

"Also, Zhao Yan Yan said a long time ago that the two will live together when they get married. What happened? I saw her mention it so many times in the open and in the dark. Han Guang Hui pretended not to understand like a fool. The day before yesterday I also saw that lad talking and laughing with a female commune member in the village. The intimacy between the two of them, tsk tsk. Ping Xiang, you also saw it too! It was that kind of indecency, right?"

Zhou Ping Xiang nodded, "Xiao Jiao, you are right to break up with him at that time."

Wang Gui Yue yelled, "She stuck over as if it doesn't cost money. Everyone said she was shameless. Now Han Guang Hui doesn't take her seriously. The two of them aren't a good thing!"

Xu Xiao Jiao let out a ‘mm’ in response. Of course she was right. A scum man should be matched with a scum female. She hoped that they would stay together forever.

The few chatted for a while. Wang Gui Yue looked at the time and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, "I have something to do. I'm leaving first. Ping Xiang, you chat with Xiao Jiao."

She left in a hurry. Xu Xiao Jiao was curious, "Is she in a hurry?"

Zhou Ping Xiang hesitated to speak. Thinking how Wang Gui Yue didn't deliberately hide it, she told Xu Xiao Jiao, "She and Wang Er Bao, the second son of the branch secretary's family, are dating."

"Dating?" Xu Xiao Jiao was surprised. Wang Gui Yue always had high-sight and said that she wanted to find a capable partner in the city.

Zhou Ping Xiang hung out with Wang Gui Yue every day. Although she didn't like to talk, she could see things clearly. Xu Xiao Jiao married Song Wei Ping and Song Wei Ping held her in the palm of her hands. When injured, he served her with great care.

The same goes for Zhao Yan Yan in the same dormitory. Although Han Guang Hui wasn’t a decent human being, he had found a light job for her at that time. During that time, what Zhao Yan Yan talked about the most in the dormitory everyday was how she was free.

The scale in Wang Gui Yue was unbalanced.

She vaguely conveyed a bit, "Gui Yue has also been assigned some light work these days. She isn’t that strong, so light work suits her."

She didn't say that Wang Gui Yue was doing Zhao Yan Yan’s work. So the two between the two in the dormitory was basically the same as fire and water.

Xu Xiao Jiao immediately understood that Wang Er Bao's father was the branch secretary. So as long as Wang Er Bao was in control, it wouldn’t be a problem to arrange any work as long as it wasn't overboard.

She can’t really comment on other people's decisions. So she asked Zhou Ping Xiang, "How about you? Are you tired? If you are tired, do ask for a day off."

Zhou Ping Xiang smiled, "I'm used to working at home, so I'm not tired. But it’s busy, I don't have so much time to study. There’s a lot of knowledge I can’t grasp."

"Just ask me. Why didn't you bring your books here today?" Zhou Ping Xiang often came to her with books by herself. She was also willing to explain those knowledge points to Zhou Ping Xiang and always felt that she was doing a great deed.

Zhou Ping Xiang was a little shy. Still, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket, "I came with Gui Yue today. I didn't bring it because I was afraid she would comment. I wanted to give you the paper first and ask you later when I'm free." .”

Xu Xiao Jiao smiled, "Anyway, I'm bored. Come, let's have a look now."

Zhou Ping Xiang was studying the high school’s second year’s mathematics. Her foundation was very solid. The areas she didn't know were usually extremely difficult. Xu Xiao Jiao felt that she would definitely have no problem taking the college entrance examination next year.

"Ping Xiang, you have studied very well. I'm truly happy for you." Xu Xiao Jiao can't say that she will be rewarded next year for her current efforts. Still she told Zhou Ping Xiang, "Studying will never be useless, Ping Xiang. Study hard! Knowledge changes destiny.”

When it comes to studying, Zhou Ping Xiang could relax and be her most comfortable self. She held the tip of the pencil. Her eyes were full of enthusiasm for learning, "En, Xiao Jiao, I will keep learning."

In the evening, Song Wei Ping thought of what he heard from Xu Xiao Jiao and Zhou Ping Xiang at the door during the day and recalled the admiring expression on Xu Xiao Jiao's face when he pushed the door into the yard. He told Xu Xiao Jiao, who was sitting at the table, his plan, "Can you teach me how to study?"

Xu Xiao Jiao was puzzled, "Aren't I teaching you all the time?"

Thinking of this, she really admired Song Wei Ping a little bit. His learning ability wasn’t ordinary. It had only been a few days. He had grasped the textbooks of elementary school. Initially, he didn’t know some words before and sought her to teach him. Now he could read her junior high school textbooks.

"When I went out, I heard that English is very useful. I saw that you also have English textbooks. I want to master it."

Xu Xiao Jiao thought about it. In the book, Song Wei Ping spoke perfect English. It was unknown where he learned it from. She didn't mind moving her mouth if it could help his business in the future, "Sure, how do you want to learn."

Song Wei Ping had already made up his mind, "Now that the day is long and it's not too dark after I get off work and have a meal, let’s take advantage of this time and teach me a little bit every day. I'll look over it when I have time during the day."

"Then won’t you be very tired." It was possible. She knew that in recent times, Song Wei Ping was very tired. She could hear it from the soft snoring that could be heard at night. That’s to be expected as he gets up at three or four in the morning and goes to town. After selling the pot stewed pork, he has to go back to work. Although Wu Chun Hua helped with breakfast and lunch, he still cooked the dinner she wanted every day when he came back.

Song Wei Ping shook his head, took her English book, put it on the table and sat side by side with her, "I'm not tired."

"Start today?" His motivation was really strong.

"En, teach me some simple ones first."

Xu Xiao Jiao thought for a while, "Let's teach you the alphabet first."

Song Wei Ping followed Xu Xiao Jiao to read letter by letter. After a few times, he could read it by himself.

Xu Jiao Jiao listened to his deep and mellow voice. The letters read out were very charmingly. She couldn't help but look sideways at him, "Song Wei Ping, your voice is very nice."

The sun had completely sunk into the ground. The rosy glow was dim. The kerosene lamp gave off a sense of warmth. At the smile on her face, Song Wei Ping curled up his fingers at one side and responded softly, "En."

Xu Xiao Jiao unconsciously relaxed under his voice. She looked at him with her chin on her hands, "Your voice is suitable for telling bedtime stories. En, if I have a novel I like in the future and I'm too lazy to read it, could you read it to me?"

Afraid that Song Wei Ping would disagree, she winked at him, "Just take as paying Teacher Xiao Jiao."

She called herself 'Teacher Xiao Jiao', but she acted like a spoiled child who wanted sweets.

"Okay." Song Wei Ping's eyebrows were gentle.

Xu Xiao Jiao's eyes lit up. She immediately aimed for a foot after getting an inch, "Then you could also sing for me?"

"Yes." The voice was so low that it was damn bewitching.

Xu Xiao Jiao covered her face and wanted to groan. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong with her. Was Song Wei Ping trying to charm her? How could that do? Could it be that this dog man was always pretending before? He had some other aim?

She immediately became vigilant. Her eyes spun. Her voice remained unchanged and leaned towards Song Wei Ping, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, I don't want to walk at all today, could you carry me to bed to sleep?"
