Chapter 26 Take her to play

Xu Xiao Jiao felt that Song Wei Ping’s timing couldn’t be any more perfect.

It made her originally restless mood become extremely clear.

"Song Wei Ping, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise I'd be so angry." Xu Xiao Jiao flew toward Song Wei Ping. As soon as she stood in front of him, she subconsciously wanted to tattle.

Song Wei Ping watched her run over. Because she ran so fast, her face was flushed. Her whole person looked very lively.

"What's wrong? Someone bullied you?" Song Wei Ping frowned.

Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, "The students in the school are easy to get along with. The little girls are also very cute. But there was one person who was talking nonsense next to me just now. It's so annoying. Help me beat him up!"

Song Wei Ping's face darkened. He immediately motioned for her to sit on the bicycle, "Where is he?"

Just as Xu Xiao Jiao was about to turn around and point him in the direction of the cafeteria, she saw Zheng De Sheng turned his head and ran toward the school gate in a panic.

"It's him, Zhang De Sheng. He ran away."

Song Wei Ping hopped onto the bicycle, "Wait."

"Waittttt", Seeing that he was going to chase someone with so many bundles, Xu Xiao Jiao grabbed his sleeve to prevent him from leaving. She thought for a while, "You finally made a trip here, leave him alone. You’re taller and stronger than him. It’s enough that he's afraid of you and won't dare to look for me. What delicious food did you bring? I didn't even get a few bites for lunch. I'm hungry."

Anyway, after this time, Zhang De Sheng probably wouldn't dare to come over. What’s more, she was leaving in two or three days. She didn't want Song Wei Ping to go through the trouble. Wasn’t sitting down and having a good talk better?

Song Wei Ping kept staring at Zhang De Sheng until his figure disappeared at the door of the small gate before looking at Xu Xiao Jiao, "I brought you your favorite pork ribs in sauce and shredded fish-flavored pork. They are still warm. Do you want to eat?"

When Xu Xiao Jiao heard this, her saliva almost flowed down, "Eat! Have you eaten? Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to eat together. How are Grandmother, Mother and Xiao Gang? I have a lot to say to you. "

She had been away for three days and began to miss home.

Song Wei Ping supported the bicycle and walked side by side with her, "Everything is fine at home. Everyone is worried about you. Worried that you won't be able to eat or sleep well. I'm also worried. So I came to see you."

In addition to worrying about whether she could eat or sleep well, he was also worried about her, a lone female, being bullied. He knew better than anyone how good-looking she was. Sure enough, someone who had no eyes came up to make her angry.

Though Song Wei Ping felt a sinister feeling in his heart, his face was gentle, "I bought some snacks for you. You can keep them for later."

While talking, he arranged the warm meal, took Xu Xiao Jiao's meal card, went to the window to get a few mantou, broke half of it and handed it to her.

Smelling the food made by Song Wei Ping, Xu Xiao Jiao was hungry. She picked up the ribs and put them in her mouth. Blissed, she took a bite. Wow, that's the taste.

"Song Wei Ping, your cooking is the best. The cafeteria here also has ribs. They’re far worse than yours."

Seeing that she was eating happily, Song Wei Ping moved the lunch box toward her, "I'll make it for you once you’re home."

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded. talked about the past few days while eating.

"Elder Sister You Ying is very warm-hearted. Everyone likes to be friends with her."

"The kids here are interesting. I've become friends with those little girls. They also asked for my address and said they would write to me in the future."

"Only Zhang De Sheng is too annoying. I thought he was okay at first. Having eyes, he seemed decent. It turns out he has bubbles in his head and is seriously ill. It's annoying. This kind of person deserves to be beaten. Like Han Guang Hui, he needs to be beaten until he submits. Only then he won’t act up."

She talked while eating. Stomach full of words gushed out to Song Wei Ping. She felt her emotions relaxed and accidentally overstuffed herself.

"I'm so full." She rubbed her stomach, "I've eaten too much."

Song Wei Ping finished her leftovers in a few mouthfuls and started to clear the table, "Since you’re free today, I'll take you for a walk in the county? Last time with Grandmother, I didn’t properly stroll around with you."

Xu Xiao Jiao's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay. But Song Wei Ping, why did you buy a bicycle? Where did you get the coupon?"

She knew the family's financial state. They could be regarded as people with a few hundred yuan in savings. Although it was not much, they could buy bicycles a long time ago. It was just that coupons weren’t easy to get.

Song Wei Ping handed her the water, "I told Third Elder Brother Li a long time ago and got him to keep an eye out. If there is a coupon, get me one. I went to the town to help unload the goods yesterday and he happened to say there was a source. So I got the coupon today and came to the county to buy it. On the way, I can see you."

The two walked out of the cafeteria side by side. He hung the things on the handlebars, "Let’s go. First, put the things back in the dormitory. Then take you out to play."

He had already inquired. There was a big park in the county. He heard that there were many maple trees in it. It was the time for the leaves to fall and the scenery was very beautiful.

He briefly told Xu Xiao Jiao. Xu Xiao Jiao was looking forward to it, "It sounds beautiful."

The park was indeed very big and the scenery was very beautiful. Xu Xiao Jiao felt a little regretful.

"Song Wei Ping, it would be great if we had a camera. Look at this angle, it's so beautiful. It must be very beautiful to take a landscape photo."

"There's also the maple tree by the lake. Look, the maple leaves are floating on the lake. It's so pretty."

The two walked side by side in the park. The autumn wind was blowing. The maple leaves curled around their feet from time to time. The autumn atmosphere was at its peak.

Hearing what she said, Song Wei Ping's first reaction was that it would be great if there was a camera that could take pictures of her walking in the maple forest.

She had her hair down. Her jet-black hair was draped over her shoulders. It was less charming than usual and more of a soft vibe. Walking in the maple forest, she was like a painting.

A painting that people want to preserve forever.

"I'll buy one later." He wanted to take many photos of her.

Xu Xiao Jiao contemplated. It hadn't been long since radios became popular. Cameras probably won't be available until the economy revives after the opening up.

"That one is more difficult to buy. Let's talk about it later. I think our family should go to a photo studio to take pictures."

How could she not think of it? In this era, there was no mobile phone that could keep photos of herself anytime, anywhere. If one wants photos, one have to go to a photo studio.

She was in her most beautiful years and didn't leave any photos. How could she do that?

Song Wei Ping nodded, "Let's go to the photo studio when we get back."

"En, let's take a group photo of our family. I also want to take a few single photos with different clothes." It's a pity that outdoor scenes weren’t popular now, otherwise it would be better to have a few sets.

Song Wei Ping was naturally agreed to everything

In the afternoon, Song Wei Ping had a full schedule. First they went to the state-run restaurant for dinner. Then he took Xu Xiao Jiao to the movies.

Xu Xiao Jiao had seen open-air movies before, but she had never been to a movie theater. "It's already five o'clock. It will be very late after watching the movie. How will you go back?"

Song Wei Ping originally planned to spend a whole day with her and stay here for one night. After Zhang De Sheng's incident at noon, he wouldn’t leave. "It's okay. I'll find a guest house to stay for one night. I'll go back tomorrow."

Xu Xiao Jiao thought about it for a while, but didn't have any objection, "That's work. You can go to the big shopping mall tomorrow to buy some nutritional products for Grandmother and Mother and bring it home."

"Alright."

All Xu Xiao Jiao knew about the movies of this era were those with revolutionary themes. She didn't expect that there would be romance movies.

At first, Xu Xiao Jiao found it interesting. This love movie had strong characteristics of the times. It also told the story of revolutionary couples getting to know each other and love each other. It was plain but warm.

But watching it, she began to blush.

Why did the two people in the movie also drill into haystacks! She had clearly forgotten all about it, but after watching this movie, she remembered the scenes of that night again. Waa!

She even remembered the resilient texture on Song Wei Ping's neck.

Xu Xiao Jiao, something was wrong with you!

She patted her face. Somewhat angry from embarrassment, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, you didn't do it on purpose, did you? It's all agreed that the matter is over."

Song Wei Ping wanted to laugh, "What matter? Why can't I remember."

Nonsense! That familiar haystack! That embarrassing scene! It had only been a few days, he certainly couldn't forget it.

Still, it was impossible for her to describe it to him again, "You better not do it on purpose."

Song Wei Ping smoothed her messy hair, "It isn't intentional. I've never gone to the movies with anyone else to watch a movie. You're the first one. How could I know what's going on in the movie in advance?"

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded and wrinkled her nose, "It's best that it’s like this."

Her angry expression looked so delicate that people couldn't help but want to tease her. Song Wei Ping approached her, "What's more, it's different. At least the female comrade didn't take the initiative to wrap her arms around the neck of male comrade."

"Song Wei Ping!" Xu Xiao Jiao pinched his arm, "You're seeking death!"

He even dared to mention the matter he promised to forget!

Song Wei Ping chuckled softly this time, "Okay, okay, I'm teasing you. Won’t talk anymore."

Seeing Xu Xiao puffed up like a frog, he couldn't help poking her cheek again, "Okay, I was wrong. Don't be angry. You said that we’re good roommates. I'm kidding. I won’t mention it again."

There was mirth in his voice all this time. No teasing elements in it. Surprisingly, it wasn’t offensive. On the contrary, Xu Xiao Jiao felt a little relieved when he said that.

"Then you are not allowed to talk about it anymore. I said it wasn’t intentional. You didn't know. I was about to fall asleep at that time. My hand didn't listen to me and moved itself from your ear to your neck."

She said it so aggrievedly, like a little doll who suffered a disadvantage and complained to the adults. So coquettish and pitiful.

Song Wei Ping patted her head, "Okay, let's not talk about it."

After such a stir, Xu Xiao Jiao’s interaction with Song Wei Ping was more comfortable. Because of focusing on watching the second half of the movie, she even had some empathy with the protagonist in it.

The mutual support in that difficult time was touching.

"Why are you crying? It's a movie. It's fake."

Song Wei Ping wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Xu Xiao Jiao looked up at him, "It's very touching. The female lead is doing well and she accompanied the male lead in such a difficult time."

Song Wei Ping looked down at her, "You are better than her."

She married him during his most difficult time and let him and Grandmother experience unprecedented happiness.

"It’s not like that. We are cooperating and benefiting from each other. It’s different from the female lead in the movie. Although it is very touching, I can't be like her."

Her dream was to be a salted fish.

Song Wei Ping stared at her, "The way you are now is good."

The evening breeze was a little cold. So he stood in the direction of the wind to shield her from the wind, "I'll send you back."

Along the way, Song Wei Ping talked to her about the details of the plan, "I'll go back tomorrow and leave the bicycle to you. When going out, ride the bicycle. Don't walk."

He specially bought this bicycle for her to use.

Xu Xiao Jiao felt that it was much more convenient to have a bicycle. Although she missed the convenience of a car, she couldn't buy one now. The bicycle was cheaper. As she was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly remembered an important question.

"Song Wei Ping, I don't know how to ride a bicycle."

She had never touched a bicycle as she had a specialized driver in her previous life and walked wherever she needed in this life.

Song Wei Ping was also stunned.

Why didn't she learn to ride a bicycle before? Even until Song Wei Ping sent her to the door of the dormitory, she was depressed.

Song Wei Ping comforted her, "It's okay. I'll teach you when you get home. You’ll be able to ride it in the future."

Xu Xiao Jiao stood at the entrance of the dormitory, "It could only be like this. I won't be able to learn it anytime soon."

"Then I'll come to find you tomorrow morning. If you want to eat something, I'll bring it to you from outside."

The two talked to each other for a long time before Xu Xiao Jiao entered the room.

Song Wei Ping turned around and walked out of the school. At this moment, his face no longer had the gentleness toward Xu Xiao Jiao. His whole aura was very gloomy. He still remembered Zhang De Sheng. Even if Xu Xiao Jiao goes home with him in three days, he has no intention of letting that person go.
