Chapter 44: A Kiss
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't catch on, "What?"
The moonlight was very bright. There seemed to be stars in her eyes. Song Wei Ping reached out and stroked her eyebrows, "Say good Elder Brother."
The way he said 'good Elder Brother' carried some inexplicable feel.
Xu Xiao Jiao was a little thankful that it was dark and he couldn't see her blushing, "Song Wei Ping, you can't be like this."
Song Wei Ping seemed to sense her embarrassment, "En."
Xu Xiao Jiao wanted to ask about Zhang De Sheng, but the moonlight was so beautiful that she felt that talking about outsiders was a waste of time.
At that moment, Xu Xiao Jiao suddenly understood why Song Wei Ping didn't tell her about Zhang De Sheng back then. It should be the same as she was now. Back then, Song Wei Ping must have thought that there was no need to distract her with future irrelevant people.
She suddenly didn't want to ask.
The two walked slowly side by side on the road. Under the moonlight, only the sound of rustling footsteps remained.
A tacit understanding seemed to connect the two of them together.
Xu Xiao Jiao felt that there was something different between her and Song Wei Ping.
But, what was the difference?
She couldn't tell.
Before she knew it, the new year had already quietly arrived.
This time, Song Wei Ping added another home appliance that caused a sensation in the village, a television.
The first television in Meilin Village.
This news quickly became a hot topic in Meilin Village. Everyone talked about the television. Even people from nearby villages came to see what the legendary television looked like.
"That day when Wei Ping's family bought the television back, were you there? Aiya, that big box!"
"How could I not be there? I watched him install it at his house. After it was installed, I even touched the antenna."
"Tsk tsk, say, why wasn’t I at home. If only I didn't go to the field that day. Tell me quickly, what does television look like? They say it has everything in it, is it true?"
"Let me tell you, it's amazing! You know how much the television set is? More than three hundred yuan. Our family can't save this money in three to five years."
He gave a thumbs up, "Song Wei Ping, this one!"
The rest nodded their heads.
"That's right, say, I haven’t seen Wei Ping and his wife go to the field every day. How come it's so easy to make money."
"What is so promising about farming? The other party uses their brains."
"Hey, we’re talking about the television. Don't stray too far. Tell us quickly, haven't you seen it? What's on the television?"
"What's there? Something national news, something television series made by the stars, it's called, something martial arts movie. That is truly called wonderful!"
Xu Xiao Gang became the king of children in the village because of the television after the game console. People who had never seen television chased after him to ask.
"Xiao Gang, what does your television look like?"
"That's right! It's said it’s so interesting to watch. Is it true?"
"Your Elder Brother-in-law is capable."
Xu Xiao Gang stood under the boulder, looking like a storyteller. His head was held high.
"You don't know, the television is square. What's the name of the one in the middle, oh, my elder sister said it's a screen. There’s a row of buttons on the side. Let me tell you, plug it in and press that button and the screen lit up with a snap!"
"There are a lot of good things in it. Yesterday, I watched cartoons. In the martial arts show tonight, the people on it were flying around. Whoosh~"
He imitated the people on television and jumped off the big rock.
"Come, I'll take you to my house to watch television."
Except for Song Wei Ping and Xu Xiao Jiao, this television set was a treasure for the whole family.
Grandmother Song specially made a piece of blue cloth that she had saved for many years into a television cover. It was put on when it wasn't watched.
Wu Chun Hua held a feather duster and as long as she was at home, she would clean it countless times a day.
Xu Xiao Gang took his little friends to watch television. After watching it for a while, he had to go up and touch it, for fear that it would be ruined.
Xu Xiao Jiao laughed at them, "Grandmother, Mom, Xiao Gang, you are too careful. This thing was of good quality."
Song Wei Ping nodded, "The person who sold the television set said that it's no problem to use it for more than ten years."
Wu Chun Hua had a lot to say, "Whether it’s ten years or fifteen years, it depends on how people use it. Better to be careful."
Grandmother Song nodded repeatedly after she said this.
Xu Xiao Jiao let them be. When going to bed at night, she joked with Song Wei Ping, "Look at Grandmother and Mom, they think that television is more delicate than a milk baby."
Song Wei Ping thought for a while, "It's just the beginning. It will be fine after a while."
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded and came up with a new idea, "Aren't the villagers curious? Wait a few days before the New Year and let everyone watch television. Anyway, the villagers have nothing much to do."
Song Wei Ping looked at her, "Aren’t you afraid of noise?"
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't think so, "Xiao Gang invites his friends to watch cartoons every day. I think it's fine."
"When everyone comes to watch, they will definitely like television dramas. So you won't be able to watch your favorite news." Song Wei Ping bought a television, mainly for her to watch.
Xu Xiao Jiao laughed, "I watch the news to see if there are any new national policies. I have already waited for what I want to hear. I can watch it occasionally in the future. Doesn't the big speaker in the village broadcast the daily news? I can listen to that."
Speaking of this, Song Wei Ping remembered that Xu Xiao Jiao danced happily after the news about the reform and opening up. The economy had opened up and self-employment was allowed.
"You were waiting for the opening up news?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded. The time when the news came out was about the same as she remembered, the winter of this year. "Yes. Seeing you and Third Elder Brother Li going out to buy and sell those things and basically no one cares say that it is very active outside now. The last time I was in the county, Jiang Mei Li had said basically no one paid heed to the self employment. So I knew that there would be such a day sooner or later."
In fact, Song Wei Ping was very excited after hearing the news that day. Xu Xiao Jiao felt that his eyes were very bright that day, "Are you happy?"
Song Wei Ping was happy. These days, he had been thinking about one thing in his heart.
"After this year, do you want to move?" He asked.
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't understand, "Move? To where? We're in Meilin Village. There are only two nests. My mom's house and this side. Are you going to move to my mom's house and redecorate the house?"
This wasn’t necessary. Although the house was a bit dilapidated, Song Wei Ping had tidied it up this year. Although it didn't look much different on the outside, it was already much more convenient to live in. So there was no need to spend money on it.
Although Xu Xiao Jiao hadn't told Song Wei Ping yet, she already had the idea of buying a house in the town. Now that the policy had been completely liberalized, there were more opportunities to make money in the town.
Song Wei Ping shook his head, closed the book he had been reading, and said seriously to Xu Xiao Jiao, "I want to buy a house in the town. Let's move there."
He had thought about this matter many times and felt it was feasible.
"Recently, when I went to the town, I asked Third Elder Brother Li to help me find out who is going to sell a house. Last time I went there, he said that there are a few who have that interest. I went to see them first and there are two that I think are pretty good.”
He recalled, "One of them isn't far from the place where we hold remedial classes. The main street is outside the gate and the yard is quite big. I think you should go and have a look. If you think it's good, we’ll set it."
The reason why he wanted to buy such a big one was that he had already planned it out, "After the new year, I want to go to the south to see if there are any business opportunities. The last time I went there, the situation was already very relaxed. This time there is no limit at all. Business will definitely be better. Once I go out, I can’t do the stewed meat business at home. I’m thinking of letting Mom do it. I will open a stewed meat shop in the town. Roujiamo can also be sold. In the future, she doesn't have to farm anymore. Grandmother can also join her. She has a strong body. She can't sit either and can help out."
Xu Xiao Jiao was really surprised. She didn't expect that Song Wei Ping would want to go with her.
"Song Wei Ping, is what you say true?"
Song Wei Ping nodded, "It is."
Wow, this feeling of connection, even Song Wei Ping thought more comprehensively than she did.
Waaa, sure enough, choosing Song Wei Ping was the right choice.
Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't resist reaching out and rubbed Song Wei Ping's head. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't put her hand down. She couldn't help but stretched out her head and kissed him on the forehead.
"Song Wei Ping, you are so smart!"
If you don’t succeed, it is simply unreasonable!
When people heard about the policy opening, they didn't realize what changes would happen in the future. Song Wei Ping was thinking about doing business. His reaction was too fast.
Xu Xiao Jiao was still excited, while Song Wei Ping's eyes darkened.
He leaned toward Xu Xiao Jiao and motioned to her, "Kiss me again."
Xu Xiao Jiao was stunned for a moment, but later realized that she seemed to have overreacted, "What, what are you doing, Song Wei Ping? What I just said was encouragement to a good roommate and good friend. Do you understand encouragement?"
Song Wei Ping nodded to express his understanding and then responded, "Please encourage me again."
Xu Xiao Jiao pushed his head away, "You think so beautifully. If you want me to kiss you, then I'll kiss you? Then I'll be too easy to talk to."
Song Wei Ping grabbed her hand, "If you have any conditions, tell me."
Xu Xiao Jiao looked at his smiling eyes, unable to speak those duplicitous words. She shook her head, "None, none, not kissing. Go to sleep. I'm sleepy."
She didn't hit him with a pillow this time. So Song Wei Ping started to aim for foot after getting an inch, "Then you'll take me in tonight?"
"What take in?" Xu Xiao Jiao looked up at him.
"It's snowing outside and very cold. I want to sleep next to you tonight, okay?" Song Wei Ping's voice was coaxing.
Their original bed was a kang bed. In winter, it was covered with thick mattresses and a handful of firewood was added to keep it warm. He slept on a spliced bed with no fire kang. So it was naturally much cooler than Xu Xiao Jiao's place.
Xu Xiao Jiao was suspicious, "You can be cold? Song Wei Ping, I told you to wear thicker clothes when you went out that day, but you said it’s hot?"
Song Wei Ping choked up, "I went out for some activities that day. It's different. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold and won't be able to spend time with you during the New Year."
Xu Xiao Jiao wanted to say no. It was great to occupy such a big bed by herself, but Song Wei Ping's pitiful look made her feel a little unbearable.
She was dubious, "Really?"
Song Wei Ping stated seriously, "Yeah."
Xu Xiao Jiao was about to nod when she looked at the hands of the two people holding each other and suddenly said, "Song Wei Ping, you big liar!"
How could this guy be cold? The hand holding her hand was as hot as a stove. So he wouldn't be cold!
She broke away from Song Wei Ping, crawled into her bed, rolled herself up into a silkworm state, and expressed her unwillingness to talk to Song Wei Ping anymore.
Song Wei Ping could no longer hold back the smile on his lips. He went over to hug Xu Xiao Jiao, who was squirming like a silkworm baby, and pulled the quilt down to look at her crimson cheeks, "Why are you so cute, en?"
Xu Xiao Jiao headed toward the bed’s inside with a grunt, moving away from Song Wei Ping, "Move away. don't touch me."
Ahhh, Song Wei Ping, you are so annoying.
Once they move out, she will request to sleep in separate beds!
They are so cute with each other lol
