Zhao Yong chose Saturday, when Li Manjun’s family was at home.
Wang Xiaojuan counted the time and pulled Li Lijun out of bed early in the morning.
Li Lijun finally waited until she could sleep in on the weekend, but when she refused to get up, Wang Xiaojuan immediately started to pull her ears.
"Ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts, mom, please let go, why can't I get up?"
Li Manjun turned over in the bed next door and continued to sleep.
Li Lijun snorted at her sister's back, "Lazy pig~" and was forced to go out with her mother to buy groceries, pretending to be a free shelf.
Before leaving, Wang Xiaojuan also called Li Dawei up and asked him to clean up the house.
"This is a serious meeting. We don't want people to think that our home is sloppy. Manjun's face as a parent must be supported by her."
After Wang Xiaojuan gave some instructions, she called Li Lijun, who was lazily sitting on the chair again, and went to Ma Street with the vegetable basket.
She wants to buy a duck and a pig leg. The duck will be made into a stir-fried griddle, the pork leg will be stewed in soup, and white radish will be added.
Everyone in the family was up, and the courtyard was very lively. Li Manjun slept until half past eight, when he was woken up by the beeping sound of the machine.
She was catching up on her sleep, and everyone in her family knew it, and they tacitly agreed not to wake her up.
Zhao Yong sent a string of digital codes: [I’m leaving]
Li Manjun rubbed his eyes, put down the beeping machine, yawned, stretched, and got up to get dressed.
Li Lijun heard the movement in the house and looked in through the window of the sink, "Sister, do you want to dress up today?"
The sisters shared a wardrobe, and she saw all the new clothes Li Manjun bought. She was so greedy that she wanted to borrow them to wear, but her sister was not stingy.
However, that black suit looked like a restaurant waiter on her. Li Lijun looked in the mirror and turned around, then took it off with a grimace, folded it and put it back in the closet.
As for the pair of high heels, they didn't fit her feet even after she tried them, so she had to give up in the end.
But now that she finally had the opportunity to wear them, Li Lijun immediately encouraged her sister to take them out and wear them.
Li Manjun opened the curtains and opened the window. Knowing what Li Lijun was thinking, she shook her head in disgust, "That's a formal dress, it's not appropriate to wear today."
"Then when is the appropriate time to wear it?" Li Lijun asked.
Li Manjun thought for a while, but she really didn't think of the opportunity to wear them recently, and she didn't know how she thought so far back and bought such a formal suit.
However, don’t be afraid to give it a try, there will always be opportunities in the future.
"Later." Li Manjun opened the wardrobe and chose a pair of jeans and a shirt. Her hair was combed smoothly and draped over her shoulders without being tied up.
I stood in front of the mirror and took a look, then took out the cosmetics I bought before, moisturized my face, opened the powder and applied a layer of powder to even out my skin tone, then lightly traced my eyebrows and applied the maple leaf red lipstick.
Li Lijun ran into the room after washing the dishes, her eyes widened instantly.
"Sister, your lipstick looks so elegant!" Li Lijun exclaimed.
Li Manjun put on her lipstick, looked back and smiled at her, "When your high school entrance exam results come out, if you pass, I will take you to the mall and buy one as a reward."
Li Lijun was happy at first, and then asked uneasily: "I'm still a student, can I also apply it?"
Li Manjun really didn't expect this. When she was in high school, the girls in her class seemed to be very simple.
"How about I buy you a set of clothes and lipstick after you go to college?" Li Manjun asked with a smile.
Li Lijun smiled and lowered her eyes, "Well, I'm going to see how mom's pig's feet are being stewed."
Li Manjun raised her eyebrows in confusion. Why did she feel that Li Lijun was a little strange recently?
Every time she mentions studying and passing the high school entrance examination, she has obvious avoidance emotions. Is it because she is too stressed to repeat the studies and take the exam again?
I happened to hear Wang Xiaojuan telling Li Lijun from the kitchen, "The high school entrance examination is coming soon. If you don't work harder this time, our family will no longer be able to afford you to repeat your studies. You have to think about what you can do in the future."
"Mom!" Li Manjun shouted deeply, walked into the kitchen and pushed out the emotional Li Lijun, "Don't think too much, just let nature take its course."
She turned to the puzzled Wang Xiaojuan and said, "Don't keep saying these things and putting more pressure on Lijun. The same goes for me. From now on, everyone should stop mentioning the high school entrance examination, okay?"
"Why is there pressure? Isn't it enough to just say a few words of encouragement to her? Your children are too fragile now." Wang Xiaojuan couldn't understand it at all.
Li Dawei, who was sweeping the dust everywhere with a feather duster, turned around and said, "Listen to Manjun, no one is allowed to mention it."
He also noticed that his second child had been acting a bit strange recently. He was particularly irritable and sensitive. If she knew that her family members had said something to her behind her back, she would definitely explode.
Wang Xiaojuan grunted and continued to stomp on her pieces of duck meat, which she would put into the pot and stir-fry later.
Li Lijun entered the bedroom, opened a book, and pretended to read seriously, but she was stunned, her eyes were confused, and she didn't know where her thoughts were wandering.
At ten o'clock, Wang Xiaojuan's dishes were all ready, Aunt Wu also arrived, and Li Manjun's beeping machine rang again.
Zhao Yong wrote another digital code: [I’m almost there]
Li Manjun smiled helplessly, "What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to come in and want her to pick him up?"
"Mom, Zhao Yong and the others are almost here. I'll pick them up." Li Manjun's words made both Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan nervous.
The two of them stood up in a hurry, wanting to get busy, but everything was already ready, so they turned around and went back to where they were, waiting.
Li Manjun opened the door and took two steps outside when she met Zhao Yong and Granny Qiao.
Zhao Yong once again wore the blue and white shirt he wore when they first met on a blind date. His hair was also done and his beard was shaved, making him a tall, handsome young man who looked fresh and fresh.
He was holding cigarettes, wine, candies, and a fruit basket in his hands. When he saw Li Manjun coming out to pick it up, he couldn't help but smile brightly.
As I got closer, I found that Li Manjun had put on makeup today. Her temperament was very different from her usual casual and lazy look. Her elegant and bright appearance also revealed the delicateness of a little daughter, and her heart trembled.
"Grandma Qiao." Li Manjun called someone politely, led her forward, and shouted into the courtyard: "Mom, Dad, Aunt Wu, Grandma Qiao, and Zhao Yong are here!"
Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan were already waiting at the door. After hearing this, they went out. Aunt Wu introduced the two parties first. Zhao Yong stepped forward, called his uncle and aunt, and shook hands with Li Dawei.
Wang Xiaojuan's eyes shone when she saw Zhao Yong, a tall and handsome young man. She was so satisfied that she hurriedly called for people to come in and sit down.
Zhao Yong put the fruits, cigarettes and wine on the table in the main room, "Uncle and aunt, this is a little gift for you. I hope you don't dislike it."
As he said that, he took out a small box wrapped in pink wrapping paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Manjun, who was standing behind the crowd, "This is for you."
He quickly handed the box to her and turned his eyes away, as if if he looked at it one more time, she would burn him.
