Chapter 66 Parting
"Set up a phone?"
Xu Xiao Jiao was surprised.
Song Wei Ping nodded, "I have contacted the county this time. Someone will come to install it tomorrow and set up the phone. If I need to contact you in the future, it will be convenient to call home."
Xu Xiao Jiao was overjoyed and patted her head, "Yes, it's Song Wei Ping's. Why didn't I think of setting up the phone?"
Xu Xiao Jiao felt that for some reason, she seemed to have become stupid. She missed Song Wei Ping every day and always used the cooperative's phone. She had forgotten that they could install a phone at home.
Could it be that falling in love makes people stupid?
But Song Wei Ping thought of it, "Song Wei Ping, it’s still you who is smart."
Even Grandmother Song and Wu Chun Hua approved the decision to set up a phone.
They didn't count how much money they needed to spend. The main reason was that Song Wei Ping often travels far away. With a phone, it was convenient for him to contact home. If there was anything, his family could know in time. This was not an area where they should save money. .
After Wu Chun Hua found out, she nodded repeatedly, "That's good now. With the phone set up, it will be easier to contact us if anything happens in the future."
Grandmother Song also chipped in, "En en, Ping Wa had thought through. It's time to install one."
Xu Xiao Gang was purely overjoyed, "Elder Brother-in-law, you are really capable. I heard that installing a phone is very troublesome and requires someone to pull a special kind of wire. Haha, when the phone is installed at our house, I will take my classmates to see it. "
Xu Xiao Jiao pinched his ear and said, "You brat, you still have a habit of showing off. Haven't you corrected it yet?"
The phone hadn't been installed yet and he wanted to show it off.
Xu Xiao Gang rubbed his ears and said, "Elder Sister, Elder Sister, let go. It's not like that. I won't bring. I won't bring anymore, okay?"
Xu Xiao Jiao harrumphed and turned to Wu Chun Hua, "Mom, reprimand him a bit. What bad habit? Why don't you learn from Song Wei Ping and be more stable?"
Xu Xiao Gang hurriedly hid behind Song Wei Ping, "Elder Sister, I find that you like Elder Brother-in-law more and more now. You want me to learn everything from him."
He complained, "The day before yesterday, you told me to learn from Elder Brother-in-law to be a diligent person. Yesterday, you told me to learn from Elder Brother-in-law to be open-minded. That day, you told me to learn from Elder Brother-in-law on improving study efficiency. Today, you tell me to learn to be a stable person. Anyway, in your eyes, Elder Brother-in-law is perfect everywhere now?!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Xu Xiao Jiao laughed. Even Song Wei Ping had a smile on his lips.
"You stinky brat!" Xu Xiao Jiao watched Xu Xiao Gang's running figure, "If you dare to come back, I'll spank you until the bottom blooms."
She turned around and saw Wu Chun Hua still laughing. She stamped her feet, "Mom, you're still smiling."
Wu Chun Hua hurriedly suppressed her laughter. She knew that her daughter was thin-skinned and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Wei Ping is a good child. Mom thinks he is perfect everywhere."
Xu Xiao Jiao rolled her eyes, "You’re still talking about it. Look at Xiao Gang, he’s talking back to me."
Wu Chun Hua comforted her daughter, "He’s not. Xiao Gang is teasing you. During the time when you weren't at home, Xiao Gang was very obedient. I was sometimes busy after school and this boy was the one who cooked the food. Didn't you say his skills are very good. He not only helps with cooking, but also cleans the house. This child is also smart. He even learned to sell roujiamo in the morning. His classmates gave him the money the first day and the next day he had them ready to bring to school. He brought twenty to thirty of them.”
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "He is obedient."
She turned to look at Song Wei Ping again, "I think you're the one who spoiled him. He's afraid that I'll hit him and he hides behind you. When he comes back, you have to chastise him."
Actually, Song Wei Ping was very satisfied with Xu Xiao Gang. But since Xu Xiao Jiao opened her mouth, he naturally obeyed, "En, don't be angry, I'll lecture him."
After hearing this, Wu Chun Hua and Grandmother Song looked at each other with a knowing look. The young couple became more and more sticky.
After the phone was installed, Song Wei Ping first called his partner in to test the effect of the call. Xu Xiao Jiao was also eager to try.
She pondered for a while and then called Shen Hua Hua.
When Shen Hua Hua received the call, she was extremely excited.
"Wow, Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, I didn't expect you to call me. I'm so happy."
Xu Xiao Jiao was infected by her enthusiastic voice, "We have a telephone installed at home. Wanting to see how it works, I gave you a call to try. Can you hear my voice clearly?"
Shen Hua Hua nodded while holding the phone, "Yeah, yeah, very clear. It's not as nice as your own voice, but it's still pretty good."
As Shen Hua Hua responded, Qian Zhen Zhu, who was next to her, leaned over and asked her in a low voice, "It's Xu Xiao Jiao."
Although her voice was low, the phone was close, so Xu Xiao Jiao still heard her, "Qian Zhen Zhu is at your place."
Shen Hua Hua hummed in acknowledgement, "Yes, yes, she came over to play. Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, let me tell you some good news. Zhen Zhu called that Talent Scout Mo. He happened to be around and met Zhen Zhu a few days ago. I accompanied her. Talent Scout Mo said that Zhen Zhu’s external conditions are very good and had already signed a contract with her.”
She said in an excited tone, "At first, Talent Scout Mo thought you agreed to become a star. When he heard your name on the phone, he came over. He kept asking if we saw you or not. From what I saw he felt very regretful. However, since you recommended Zhen Zhu to him, he felt a lot less sad, haha."
Shen Hua Hua wanted to keep on going when Qian Zhen Zhu pushed her next to her, "Hua Hua, get out of the way. I'll say a few words to her too."
Shen Hua Hua paused, "Okay, let you talk for a while."
She turned to Xu Xiao Jiao on the phone and said, "Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, Zhen Zhu wants to say a few words."
She gave the phone to Qian Zhen Zhu and said to her silently, "Speak properly."
Qian Zhen Zhu pushed her aside, she knew.
Holding the phone, she stuttered out her first sentence, "Elder ,Elder Sister Xiao Jiao."
Xu Xiao Jiao was about to say that she and Qian Zhen Zhu didn't need to talk when she heard Qian Zhen Zhu's voice. which was quite good.
"En, say what you want to say."
Now that she had spoken, Xu Xiao Jiao was too embarrassed to refuse.
Qian Zhen Zhu held the phone tightly, "Um, um, thank you for introducing Talent Scout Mo to me. This time I can really be a star. I will repay you in the future."
She pondered for a while and continued, "Aren’t you going to do some clothing design with Hua Hua. If I become famous in the future, I can help you promote your clothes for free."
"Also, I heard from my dad that Mister Song is going to set up a factory. If you don't mind, I can advertise to you for free in the future."
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't expect that she was quite sincere. She stopped calling Song Wei Ping ‘Elder Brother Wei Ping’ and used such a formal "Mister Song". She was very conscious.
She chuckled, "Then I'll remember this."
Hearing this, Qian Zhen Zhu smiled, "En, en, en."
At the side, Shen Hua Hua heard it and was a little happy. She hurriedly grabbed the phone and started chattering a lot.
Until she hung up the phone, Qian Zhen Zhu never had a chance to speak again.
She was very dissatisfied, "Hey, Hua Hua, you are so annoying. I haven't finished talking to her."
Shen Hua Hua took a pen and carefully wrote down Xu Xiao Jiao's number. In response to this, she looked at her, "What are you talking about? You made Elder Sister Xiao Jiao angry before. She helped you with kindness in return. Just saying a few words of thanks is enough. You still want to be friends with her."
Qian Zhen Zhu pondered for a while, "It's good to be friends. I think she is great now."
Shen Hua Hua disagreed, "People may not forgive you yet and you still want to be friends. You should do well as a star first."
Qian Zhen Zhu copied the phone number she had written down and said, "Anyway, I'm going to call her in the future."
Shen Hua Hua snorted, "Alright, alright, if she doesn’t ignore you, call her."
"Why would she ignore me? She had even chuckled on the phone. She introduced Talent Scout Mo to me. So, she isn’t angry anymore. And I have said that I will repay her when I become a star in the future. She will definitely like me more and more.”
The two of them kept squabbling back and forth. Mentally, they both agreed that Elder Sister Xu Xiao Jiao was really nice.
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't care about the back and forth between the two girls. The phone call was fine. She felt a lot more at ease.
From now on, Song Wei Ping won’t have to worry about communication problems when he travels far away.
However, since the phone was installed, time flashes like pressing the shutter button. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. Song Wei Ping had already reduced the goods in his hand to a few. The rest were transferred to Li San Tie, who ordered. After booking the ticket, he continued going on business trips.
The day before leaving, Song Wei Ping had noticed Xu Xiao Jiao's depression.
He also had his own arrangements, "How about I take you to the county to watch a movie today?"
Of course Xu Xiao Jiao wouldn't refuse if she could go on one more date before he left. She dressed up carefully and set off with Song Wei Ping.
The county cinema was renovated. There were seats for couples in the back row. Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping sat on them, but they didn't actually have the mind to the movie.
Xu Xiao Jiao leaned against him and said, "Song Wei Ping, why did things go by so fast? It feels like you just got home and are leaving again."
Before he left, she already started to miss him.
Song Wei Ping's feelings could only be deeper than hers.
Xu Xiao Jiao's love had only emerged not long ago. In the past, when he traveled far away, he could feel that she didn't care. For him, it wasn’t the same.
Don’t know where love budded, but it was always deep. Don’t when it started, he missed her deeply every time he went out.
He stretched out his hand to hug her onto his lap and asked the question he often asked, "Will you miss me?"
This time Xu Xiao Jiao was very obedient, "I will, Song Wei Ping. I will miss you."
She admitted in person that she missed him. This made him feel ecstatic as well as a little melancholy at the same time.
"Really not coming with me?" Song Wei Ping wanted to take her with him.
Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head in his arms, "You are so busy. You are running around everywhere. And you have to go to other places to buy machines. I can't help you if I go. If something happens, I will hold you back. And it's so hot over there. I’ll be uncomfortable."
She mulled over this matter several times, "It's better to be at home with grandmother and mom and not to cause any trouble for you."
Song Wei Ping knew that what she said was true. But he was also afraid that he couldn’t take good care of her. "I really want to make you smaller and carry you with me all the time."
Xu Xiao Jiao laughed out loud, "I also want to be able to grow bigger and smaller at the same time. But there is no such magical thing."
Song Wei Ping paused.
Well...actually there are.
What did he mean by that last comment?!? 😆😂😉
