Chapter 46 Pillow Blow

However, reality gave Song Wei Ping a gentle slap. Although it wasn't heavy, it still stunned him.

By the time he got home, Xu Xiao Jiao and Zhou Ping Xiang had already washed up and were about to affectionately get under the covers and start talking privately.

Song Wei Ping:......

He remembered that year he took Xu Xiao Jiao to watch a movie at the threshing yards, he had put a lot of thought into sitting alone with Xu Xiao Jiao. It was this Zhou Ping Xiang, who was by at the side all night.

Now, it was still her.

Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't feel Song Wei Ping's resentment, but she was still pleasantly surprised.

"Song Wei Ping, why are you back so late? You are all wet. You came back even after seeing the snow. You should stay at Third Brother Li's place for one night and come back tomorrow."

She hurriedly got Song Wei Ping some thick clothes, then brought him tea and water, and finally drove him away.

"You go and sleep with Ma Qun. I want to sleep with Ping Xiang during these few days."

Song Wei Ping hugged his pillow and quilt and went to find Ma Qun with infinite resentment.

Zhou Ping Xiang was waiting for Xu Xiao Jiao in the bedroom. When she saw her coming in, she asked, "Song Wei Ping is gone?"

Xu Xiao Jiao had worn a thick cotton-padded jacket. She took it off and climbed onto the bed, "Gone, just let him sleep with Ma Qun for the next few days."

She waved her hand nonchalantly.

Zhou Ping Xiang was lying on the bed next to Xu Xiao Jiao. She looked at the big bed and then at the spliced plank bed. She asked Xu Xiao Jiao hesitantly, "You two usually sleep separately."

Xu Xiao Jiao understood what she meant. She hadn't told anyone about this yet, but she didn't want to hide it from Zhou Ping Xiang, "I'm going to tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone."

Zhou Ping Xiang nodded immediately.

Feeling a little tangled, Xu Xiao Jiao said, "Song Wei Ping and I have never been together."

Zhou Ping Xiang was surprised, "Really?"

Her brain circuit was miraculously synchronized with Wu Chun Hua's, "Is it Song Wei Ping..."

Xu Xiao Jiao miraculously understood immediately, "No, no."

If she had firmly believed that Song Wei Ping was incapable before, now she was no longer sure. It seemed that Song Wei Ping should be fine.

At this moment, the two of them were lying on the same bed, surrounded by darkness. The normally embarrassing words could be voiced out. Xu Xiao Jiao told her the agreement she had made with Song Wei Ping.

Zhou Ping Xiang was surprised and didn't know what to say, "He just agreed like that?"

"Ah, agreed."

Zhou Ping Xiang thought for a while, "That, that shouldn't be the case. If he regarded you as a partner, he wouldn't be so good to you. Xiao Jiao, you admit that Song Wei Ping is good to you."

Xu Xiao Jiao pondered for a while, "He’s indeed good."

Good without limit.

Zhou Ping Xiang understood Song Wei Ping's thoughts. At first, she also felt that Song Wei Ping wasn't worthy of Xu Xiao Jiao. But after watching over with an unbiased mind over the years, she felt that another person would not be able to dote on Xu Xiao Jiao so much.

"Then what do you think? Are you going to keep doing this?" Zhou Ping Xiang pinched Xu Xiao Jiao's cheek.

Xu Xiao Jiao patted her hand down, "Hey, I'm sharing the secret with you, not asking you to say good things to Song Wei Ping. Anyway, just pretend you don't know."

Zhou Ping Xiang snorted softly, "You are allowed to talk about me and Ma Qun, but I’m not allowed to talk about you and Song Wei Ping?"

Xu Xiao Jiao snorted out a giggle and said, "Then I’ll talk. Ma Qun is interested in you. Look, tonight he was helping you carry tea, pour water, and scoop rice. Just a step away from feeding you."

This time Zhou Ping Xiang didn't shy away from this topic, "I think he is okay."

Xu Xiao Jiao was a little surprised that Zhou Ping Xiang wasn't shy about relationships, "Are you set on him now?"

Zhou Ping Xiang shook her head, "No way. Let's try it first. In college, it is popular for everyone to date. First, date for a period of time. If it suits us, we will be together. If it doesn't, we will break up. I won't delay him."

Xu Xiao Jiao was surprised, "Ping Xiang, you are quite fashionable."

Zhou Ping Xiang patted her waist and said, "I can't compare to you in fashion. What are you talking about? Marriage by agreement? It's so trendy. I've never heard of it before."

She thought for a while and then said, " That’s because Song Wei Ping dotes on you and is willing to play along with you. Think about it, if Song Wei Ping is a single man now, how many people would want to marry him."

Xu Xiao Jiao chuckled and said, "That can't be helped. Who told me to be so charming?"

Zhou Ping Xiang was naturally happy that her friend's life was better than expected. She just advised her, "Just take it easy. From your greetings to Song Wei Ping just now, it's impossible that you don't have thoughts about him. If you have thoughts, act as soon as possible. Don’t know why you’re being coy."

Xu Xiao Jiao pouted, "It depends on my mood."

Zhou Ping Xiang laughed in response, "Your name is really right. You are a delicate girl. I think Song Wei Ping has spoiled you badly."

While the two of them were talking about their respective partners, Song Wei Ping and Ma Qun were also talking about their partners.

Mainly it was Ma Qun.

He first repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Song Wei Ping for his guidance and then got to the main topic.

"Hehe, Wei Ping, I won't call you Teacher Song anymore. Say, can you blow your wife’s pillow and get her to put in a good word for me at Ping Xiang's side."

He was pulling his ears and scratching his head, "Look at you two. You two are living such sweet days, while I’m still single. You can't bear to let me sleep alone every day, right?"

Song Wei Ping glanced at him, "By my pillow side is you."

He was already kicked out. What pillow talk could he blow? Besides, he hadn't had the sweet days yet.

Ma Qun chuckled, "Oh, Elder Brother Song, I get it. Small separation is better than a wedding. You have been away for ten and a half days and must be missing Teacher Xu. Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Thinking how Xu Xiao Jiao will be living with Zhou Ping Xiang for more than a week, he was worried for Song Wei Ping, "I, Ma Qun, can't be thoughtful. I will talk to Ping Xiang in two days and take her to study. We won't be here acting as light bulbs for you two?"

Song Wei Ping was a little moved, but he still shook his head, "Look at the two of them. Xiao Jiao doesn't have many friends here. Zhou Ping Xiang came to see her this time and she is overjoyed."

Xu Xiao Jiao was happy, so he didn't want to end her happiness early. After all, he was on a long march of thousands of miles. There was still a long way to go.

Hearing this, Ma Qun truly felt that Song Wei Ping loved his wife.

Without any intervention, Zhou Ping Xiang settled in Meilin Village as originally planned.

After playing for ten days, Xu Xiao Jiao reluctantly sent Zhou Ping Xiang to the station, "Come and play with me when you are free."

Zhou Ping Xiang was also reluctant to leave. She always felt that with Xu Xiao Jiao, she was her true self.

"I know. I'll come back when I'm free during the summer vacation. I'm leaving now."

Before hopping on, she pulled Xu Xiao Jiao aside and whispered to her, "Don't forget what I said."

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "En, en, en."

Zhou Ping Xiang grinned and said, "I think you are being perfunctory. I have been seriously observing these days. Song Wei Ping can't be wrong. If you keep doing this, you will regret it in the future."

She was here these past few days and was a clear-minded bystander. She understood more and more how much Song Wei Ping liked Xu Xiao Jiao. She was happy for her friend, but also worried about her friend. She hoped that the two of them would get together soon.

Xu Xiao Jiao held her arm, "I know. I'll remember what you said. Let's go or it’ll be too late to catch the bus."

Zhou Ping Xiang reluctantly left.

After sending Zhou Ping Xiang away, Xu Xiao Jiao sighed, "I don't know when we will see each other again next time."

Song Wei Ping looked at her, "If you want, I'll go on a trip with you when the weather gets warmer and see her while we are at it, "

Xu Xiao Jiao's mood became a little brighter, "That works. We can go to that side for a trip. Ping Xiang said it has many tourist attractions there. We'll just have some fun together then."

Since he came back, Song Wei Ping only had time to talk to her now.

"This time, the trip was okay. Let's rest a day and go to the town to look at houses tomorrow?"

This sentence diverted all Xu Xiao Jiao's attention. The two walked back. Xu Xiao Jiao asked him, "How much does it cost?"

She knew that the policy had just been opened up. No one realized the value of houses in good locations yet. A few houses in the village can be sold for less than a few hundred yuan. It should be more expensive in the town, but it shouldn't be outrageous.

Song Wei Ping had inquired about it a long time ago, "The one I told you costs about 1,500 yuan. The other one, which is slightly smaller, costs about 1,200 to 1,300 yuan. It depends on which one you like."

Although this house price was simply a bargain compared to later generations, in this era, one thousand yuan was what most people earn in a lifetime.

"When you left, you took almost all of the family's money with you. It was about a thousand. How much did you earn this time?"

Song Wei Ping responded very modestly, "We resold a batch of tape recorders. Now that the policy has been relaxed, business has become easier. It has doubled."

This time he went out alone. He was originally more courageous and careful than Li San Tie. This time he saw the right time, resold it in one go, and doubled the money in his hand.

Xu Xiao Jiao stared at him, "Really?"

Seeing Song Wei Ping nod, Xu Xiao Jiao truly felt that making money for some people was as simple as eating and drinking. Song Wei Ping was really born to do business.

"Song Wei Ping, you’re truly astounding!"

If this momentum continues, they will become the first 10,000-yuan household in the village.

Xu Xiao Jiao put her hands behind her back and walked backwards in front of Song Wei Ping. She looked at Song Wei Ping as she walked, "My eyesight is really good."

She knew he would be successful in the future, but watching him succeed step by step with her own eyes was really different.

Seeing that she was proud and proud, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It's all thanks to Wife’s teaching."

Xu Xiao Jiao admitted this time, "Concur, concur."

Song Wei Ping was slightly surprised that she didn't refute this time.

Seeing his stunned look, Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't help laughing, "Song Wei Ping, look at how silly you are, hahaha."

Song Wei Ping came back to his senses and asked her, "Then can I blow some pillow talk?"

Xu Xiao Jiao didn't understand, "What's pillow talk?"

Song Wei Ping told her what Ma Qun said.

Xu Xiao Jiao laughed loudly, "Oh, you and Ma Qun even talked about this. If I had known earlier, I should have told Ma Qun, you don't blow pillow talk. I have already helped him. Ping Xiang seems to be interested in Ma Qun too. Maybe the next time we see them, they are already together."

She wanted to laugh when she thought of Ma Qun lowering himself to Song Wei Ping, hoping that Song Wei Ping would help him. Distracted, she accidentally backed up on a rock and almost fell down.

"Be careful."

Song Wei Ping grabbed her arm.

"Thank you." Xu Xiao Jiao patted her chest. She almost fell down.

Song Wei Ping looked down at her, "If you really want to thank me, can we discuss it?"

Xu Xiao Jiao blinked, "What?"

Song Wei Ping, "When we move to a new home, we will change the bed in our bedroom to a smaller one."

"Also, there is no need for the kang this time. I will just warm your bed from now on."
