Before entering the house, Li Manjun took out a tissue and asked the unconscious Zhao Yong to wipe off the lipstick marks on his face and corners of his mouth.
Zhao Yong was shocked and quickly wiped it off, turning his face red.
A man's face is his bottom line. Li Manjun was so happy to see it. He laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. His face was flushed, and his eyes were filled with tears. His watery eyes made Zhao Yong even more miserable.
I was so angry that I could only whisper to her:
"Just laugh and see how I deal with you later."
Li Manjun's expression was calm and he was not angry, he said, "Do you want domestic violence?"
Zhao Yong waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, I was just kidding."
Afraid that Li Manjun was really serious, his expression changed, and he hurriedly explained that he never hit women, nor would he hit anyone casually.
After getting along with each other several times before, Li Manjun naturally knew that Zhao Yong was not a violent man, but she just teased him casually. Seeing him explain to her so anxiously, she felt a little regretful.
However, she did feel the sense of security provided by Zhao Yong.
"Okay, I believe you, let's go in." Li Manjun said this, and Zhao Yong squeezed the thin sweat on his palms and let out a long sigh of relief.
He wasn't even married yet, and he felt like he was going to get the reputation of being henpecked.
It's just...why does my heart feel so sweet just thinking about it?
Zhao Yong thought seriously for a second, wondering if he was prone to masochism. He came to the answer that he was not, and walked in with Li Manjun with a smile.
In accordance with local custom, Wang Xiaojuan returned half of the gifts Zhao Yong brought and asked him to take them back.
When the meeting came, he also wrapped a red envelope with eighty-eight yuan in it, which was a meeting gift for Zhao Yong, indicating that the woman was also very satisfied with him as his future son-in-law.
Zhao Yong didn't know much about this, but Grandma Qiao took it into consideration and turned around and said to Zhao Yong:
"Your future father-in-law and mother-in-law are quite good. Unlike those who sell their daughters, they don't even give out any gifts in return, not to mention red envelopes."
"You and Manjun, even if you two have achieved enlightenment, you should be nicer to others in the future."
Mother-in-law Qiao didn't need to say this. Zhao Yong said it to Li Dawei and his wife countless times. Li Dawei and Lao Wang looked at it so funny that they really thought he was drunk even after drinking water.
Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan sent the people to the door, Li Manjun continued to the bus stop, and Zhao Yong borrowed a friend's minivan to drive over today.
In later generations, it might seem ordinary, but in this small heather town, and in an era when only unit chiefs had private cars, it was already considered a very respectable thing.
Many children gathered around the van curiously, but when they saw the owner coming, they dispersed in a swarm.
Grandma Qiao got on the bus first, and Zhao Yong suddenly asked Li Manjun: "Do you like it?"
"What?"
Zhao Yong looked elsewhere: "Necklace."
"Oh." Li Manjun suddenly smiled, "I like it very much. I like everything you bought."
"Really?" Zhao Yong immediately turned back, lowered his eyes and looked at her excitedly, smiled brightly, and said positively:
"Then I'll buy you one next time!"
Li Manjun responded with a smile: "Okay, let's choose together next time." Choose something fashionable and exquisite, and refuse to be ordinary and flowery.
A man has to be coaxed. The more you coax him, the more dizzy he will become, and he will dig deep into you.
Zhao Yong was very helpful and encouraged. He said that he would take Li Manjun to buy a wedding ring after receiving the certificate tomorrow. He heard that it is now popular for people to buy matching rings when they get married, and he wanted to buy a set for Li Manjun.
Li Manjun agreed to everything, but Zhao Yong said he would drive to pick her up in the morning, but she refused.
"Don't go to such trouble. I'll just take the shuttle bus into the city tomorrow morning. I don't worry about you getting up early and driving. It's been hard for you these past few days to meet your parents. Get some more sleep tomorrow and wait for me to come find you."
"
The round trip is almost three hours long, and it is troublesome for Zhao Yong to travel back and forth. It is not as convenient as spending a few dollars to take a ride.
Zhao Yong looked at her reluctantly, "Manjun, you are so kind to me."
Li Manjun smiled slightly and said in his heart, you are also very good to me.
She never expected that Zhao Yong would handle the meeting with her parents so well and save her a lot of trouble.
Li Manjun waved his hand and watched the van drive away. Instead of going home first, he entered the school garbage dump.
Sure enough, Liu Yan was found in the garbage dump.
Liu Cheng must have gone to the countryside. He hasn't been there for a while, and the villagers have saved a lot of recyclable waste.
The toothpaste skin business is difficult to run, and Mr. Liu only comes here every three days now.
Seeing that Li Manjun was wearing lipstick, Liu Yan opened her mouth in surprise and said, "Manjun, you are dressing more and more fashionable now."
Li Manjun smiled and said, "You can do it too."
Now they are no longer unable to get even a hundred yuan together. Liu Yan has received seven thousand yuan, and it is not a problem to use one hundred yuan to buy new clothes.
Of course Liu Yan also bought new clothes, but she had to pick up rags and was reluctant to wear them.
Li Manjun naturally took out the mask from his pocket and put it on, rolled up his sleeves and tied up his hair, picked up the wooden stick by the wall and joined the crowd.
Liu Yan saw that she had something to say, so she spoke first: "Manjun, have you and Zhao Yong settled the matter? When do you plan to hold the wedding?"
"We've reached an agreement. There won't be a wedding. We'll set up three tables at a hotel in the town. You and Liu Cheng will come together."
Li Manjun thought for a while and then said: "Tomorrow Zhao Yong and I will get the certificate. I have to go to the city and ask for leave. Will you be angry?"
"How could that be? This is a good thing." Liu Yan smiled with crooked eyes. She really didn't mind, because there wasn't much work in school, so she just came here every half afternoon.
It's just that Liu Yan can't be his master when it comes to Liu Cheng.
She has a close relationship with Manjun and can help the sisters, so naturally she doesn't think it's a big deal.
In the past, Manjun even helped her take sick leave and worked as a student on duty for her every day.
After thinking about it, Liu Yan decided to mention it to Li Manjun, "Then my brother may have to count his own share of the money collected from him. Do you think that's okay?"
Having said this, Li Manjun stopped what he was doing, threw the three plastic bottles he pulled out into the basket, and told Liu Yan his plan.
"What? You don't want to do it?" Liu Yan panicked for no reason. Without Manjun, she couldn't do it alone.
"You can do it, Yanzi." Li Manjun patted her shoulder, "I haven't been here recently, haven't you done quite well by yourself? You also helped us find a job in an abandoned soy sauce factory, so that we both made money.
Three hundred dollars."
Being praised, Liu Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, "How can I be so good? It's just good luck that I happened to meet him. If you heard the news in town that day, you would definitely go there as soon as possible.
Already."
Li Manjun said: "That's what I think. First of all, after Zhao Yong and I got married, we have lived in Rongcheng for a long time. It is really inconvenient for me to come here often."
"Secondly, you should be able to find new jobs in Rongcheng, so I plan to look for something to do there."
