"No," Su Wennian decisively refused, "Those are the new clothes my mother made for Jin Bao. She couldn't bear to wear them herself. She only wore them for a while at noon and took them off in the afternoon."
The women's director looked a little embarrassed, "Just three hours, no... just two hours. Xiao Su, can you help me? If the blind date is successful, I will give you and Jin Bao wedding candies, okay?"
Su Wenian subconsciously clenched his fists and said, "Sorry, Director Zhang, I really can't help with this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Jinbao walked out of the room and asked with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, is Sister Shiqing going on a blind date tomorrow?"
The women's director is Li Shiqing's mother. As far as Jinbao knows, Li Shiqing likes her third brother.
She accidentally bumped into Li Shiqing and her third brother confessing their love...
"Yes," Director Zhang looked at Jinbao with a smile on his face, "My Shiqing is quite old. Her father and I both want her to get married as soon as possible. This child was still refusing to do anything before. Today, suddenly
agreed."
At this point, she said to Su Wenian again: "Xiao Su, when Shi Qing went to the Propaganda Department as an intern, you taught her step by step. You are also considered a master and apprentice. Can you help her?"
Before the third brother could speak, Jinbao said first: "The new clothes are mine, and I agree to borrow them from Sister Shiqing."
"Ah! That's great. Jinbao, you are so good and sensible. Auntie, thank you so much." Director Zhang said happily.
Jin Bao took out the new clothes from the room and handed them to Director Zhang, "Take them here. My mother probably wanted me to wear them for two more years, so she made them a little bigger. My clothes are a bit loose, but Sister Shiqing should fit them just right."
"The color of this dress is so beautiful. The bright red color matches the skin tone so well." Director Zhang held the dress and looked at it, unable to put it down. After praising the color of the fabric for a while, she thanked Jinbao again and again, "Thank you, Jinbao."
After she left, Su Wennian asked in confusion: "Jinbao, why do you want to lend new clothes to others?"
"Anyway, I don't plan to wear it anymore," Jin Bao said casually, "Why don't you lend it to someone in need."
In fact, although the fabric is bright and beautiful, it is not close-fitting and breathable. Jinbao feels that it is not very comfortable to wear, and it is hot and stuffy. Legend has it that it is hot in summer and cool in winter, so it is indeed good, right? No wonder it was eliminated later.
In contrast, although cotton clothes are dull in color and can easily become wrinkled, they are close-fitting and absorb sweat.
Compared with appearance, Jinbao cares more about comfort when wearing clothes. In a few years, foreign investment will enter, and foreign fashion brands have begun to seize the mainland market. Do you want to wear beautiful clothes? Why should you suffer this kind of sin now?
Jinbao didn't express these thoughts. She saw that her third brother seemed to be in a daze, and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Because I heard that Sister Shiqing is going on a blind date?"
Su Wennian was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Third brother, do you actually have a good impression of Li Shiqing in your heart?"
When Jin Bao said this, Su Wennian was surprised at first, and then immediately denied it: "Of course not!"
"Really not? In fact, on the day Sister Shiqing confessed to you, I went to your office to find you after cooking dinner, and happened to overhear your conversation. Third brother, when you rejected her at that time, you didn't mean that you didn't like her, but that you had no plans.
Is it right to fall in love and start a family so quickly?"
Su Wennian nodded, "Yes, that's what I said. Is there any problem?"
"Third brother, do you think that college entrance examination and going to college are more important than falling in love, so you have been deliberately not liking anyone? Even if you obviously think Li Shiqing is good, you may even like her in your heart, but you force yourself not to like her..."
Before the third brother could deny it, Jinbao continued: "There was a girl named Xie Shuting in our village before, do you still remember? She also liked you very much, and she even came to confess to you on New Year's Eve, but you never escaped after that.
she.
You don't like her, so it doesn't matter if you see her or not.
But Li Shiqing is different. After she confessed her love to you, you deliberately avoided her...
Third brother, maybe I guessed wrong, but after observing her for a while, I feel that you like her.
When facing Li Shiqing, you always deliberately avoid her eyes. Sometimes in order to reject her, you deliberately make yourself appear particularly cold and ruthless. This deliberateness just shows that she is different to you and that you care about her in your heart.
Yes, right?"
"Jin Bao," Su Wennian couldn't help but patted his sister's head, "Actually, to tell you the truth, I don't know what I'm thinking. Maybe it's like you said, I might like her a little bit.
But none of this matters anymore, we can't be together."
"Why?" Jinbao asked, "There is no conflict between falling in love, getting married, and studying in college. This college entrance examination does not limit whether you are married or not. If you think the college entrance examination is more important now, you can wait until you finish the exam before getting married."
"Marry? And then ask her to wait for me for four years or even longer?" Su Wennian's eyebrows were warm, he smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "I don't want to be so selfish, she can find a better person, and I don't want to let anyone
wait for me."
Having said this, he strolled to the balcony and looked at the starry sky in the distance, "In my heart, nothing is as important as taking the college entrance examination. I have been waiting for so many years. Learning oil painting has always been my dream. No one can stop me.
Keep going towards your dreams.”
Jinbao walked up to him, turned to look at him and asked: "Third brother, what should you do if you suddenly feel lonely and alone after you are admitted to college, and then think of Li Shiqing and start to regret missing this relationship?"
"I won't regret it." Su Wennian said firmly.
Looking at the third brother's firm gaze, Jin Bao said nothing more.
The next day, Director Zhang returned the clothes he borrowed from Jinbao and said that the blind date did not go well.
"Hey, my Shiqing is too introverted. She won't say a word even if someone says ten words to her. Although it's better to be quiet, she's not usually this quiet." Director Zhang chatted with Jinbao for a while.
As for Jinbao’s new and excellent clothes, the final outcome was that they were worn out.
When people in the building heard that Director Zhang had successfully borrowed clothes from Jinbao, they all came to borrow clothes from her. Some said they were going to take photos, some said it was a blind date, and some even gave up excuses.
Just say that I want to wear beautiful clothes and go out for a walk.
In less than a week, this dress was borrowed here and there. An aunt with a relatively plump figure wore out Jinbao's clothes immediately after putting them on. She lost Jinbao's ten-foot cloth ticket, and a person from the canteen.
Meal tickets for the week.
Jinbao lamented that it was a good thing that the clothes were gone. She could finally study well without being disturbed.
Soon, the college entrance examination began. It started on November 28 and ended on December 25. All provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country took the exams.
The night before the exam, Su Wennian stared at the admission ticket in his hand for a long time. His fingers could not help but tremble because he was so excited.
Except for the third-generation educated youth, it is estimated that no one can truly understand his mood at this moment.
