After settling Li Xiuzhi, Xu Lingjun wanted to ask him something more, but unfortunately, Qin Nan didn't give him a chance at all and just blasted him away.
After Xu Lingjun left, Qin Nan led Li Xiuzhi to her room with a smile on her face.
"Xiuzhi, can you sleep with me tonight?"
Li Xiuzhi lowered her head and said softly.
"I can do it."
"Well."
Qin Nan pointed to the kang beside him: "You sit down for a while, and I'll get you two quilts."
"No... no need."
Seeing Qin Nan's bulging belly, Li Xiuzhi had the nerve to let Qin Nan work. She quickly put down her baggage and took the initiative to support Qin Nan.
"Well, sister, sit down first."
"I actually brought quilts and stuff."
As she said that, Li Xiuzhi glanced at the quilt placed on the kang. Although the quilt was very thin, it accompanied her all the way and traveled many places.
Moreover, it was the last thing her parents gave her.
"Xiuzhi, it's cold here at night. The quilt you brought is a little thin and it will freeze."
Qin Nan asked narrowly: "If you get frozen, Lao Xu can't fight for my man?"
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhi lowered his head again.
She is still very shy in front of strangers.
What she and Xu Lingjun said just now were not in her normal form.
In her view, Xu Lingjun was not an 'outsider'.
"Ha ha."
"I won't tease you anymore."
Qin Nan chuckled, and then pointed to the chest of drawers beside him.
"Xiuzhi, please excuse me. The quilt is in the cabinet over there. You can get it yourself."
Li Xiuzhi nodded silently, then walked to the cabinet.
"It's in the second compartment of the cabinet on the left."
Li Xiuzhi opened the cabinet door as instructed, and then she saw the quilt inside.
This quilt is so thick and new.
In fact, Li Xiuzhi vaguely discovered one thing from the moment she entered the house. Sister Qin's family seemed to have better conditions.
Although the exteriors of the houses are similar, the furnishings inside are completely different.
The furniture in Sister Qin's house is not only new, but also very complete.
In addition, even if there is no one in the room, the lights in the room are still on.
This kind of behavior is definitely not what ordinary people do.
Li Xiuzhi's hometown also has electricity, and their home also has electric lights, but her family uses electricity very sparingly. Her parents will never turn on the lights until it is completely dark.
Even if it is turned on, it will only be turned on for a while, more than half an hour at most, and then the family will have to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
After being stunned for a while, Li Xiuzhi picked up the quilt, slowly came to the kang, and then stood there, waiting for Qin Nan to speak.
Qin Nan saw all her restraint.
Qin Nan stood up slowly and came to Li Xiuzhi in a friendly manner.
"Actually, I'm very afraid of the dark."
"Xiuzhi, can you sleep closer to me at night?"
"Um."
Li Xiuzhi nodded without thinking.
"Okay then, let's sleep together."
Then, Qin Nan helped Li Xiuzhi make the bed with a smile on her face.
"By the way, Xiuzhi, where are you from?"
"Your accent sounds a bit like someone from Sichuan Province?"
Li Xiuzhi nodded and said, "I'm from Sichuan Province."
"oh?"
Qin Nan looked curious: "Are the people in Sichuan Province particularly good at eating spicy food?"
"Not really."
Li Xiuzhi replied in an uncertain tone: "I can't eat spicy food very well."
Because her family was poor, Li Xiuzhi didn't go to school much. After finishing the second grade of elementary school, she stopped studying.
After that, she helped the family with farm work.
In her mind, their village is her whole world.
This time when she came to Chilechuan, it was the farthest and farthest place she had ever visited.
If it weren't for the fellow villagers who took her, she wouldn't have been able to find her way.
"Oh, I see."
Qin Nan said: "I thought you people from Sichuan Province are particularly good at spicy food."
"correct."
"You just came to our village today, right?"
"Um."
Li Xiuzhi's answer was still brief.
Qin Nan continued to take the initiative to stir up the topic: "So this is also your first time meeting Lao Xu?"
"Um."
"Old Xu."
As she said that, Qin Nan glanced at Li Xiuzhi without leaving any trace. She found that Li Xiuzhi's expression seemed to change when Lao Xu was mentioned.
That look was familiar to her.
Just that kind of very interested look.
Seeing this expression, Qin Nan's lips curved into a smile.
Lao Xu's marriage will probably come true.
After all, the man is affectionate and the concubine is interested. If this fails, how can there be any justice?
Thinking of this, Qin Nan smiled and did not continue to talk about it.
"Speaking of which, Lao Xu is the most knowledgeable person in our village. He used to go to university in Shanghai and was a university teacher."
"Later, because of his life experience, he was sent down here."
"I've been here for nearly ten years."
Not long after, Qin Nan and Li Xiuzhi were lying on the kang.
Qin Nan was still telling Lao Xu's story, and Li Xiuzhi, who was lying on one side, listened to Lao Xu's past with seriousness on her face.
When she heard that Lao Xu was sent down, Li Xiuzhi's face showed a bit of anger and a bit of worry.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel the same way.
Gradually, the night got deeper and deeper. Although the lights in the room were turned off, Qin Nan's story continued.
Beside, at some point, Li Xiuzhi's face was covered with tears.
Xu Lingjun is such a good person.
If you follow her, you will definitely not suffer in the future.
What's more, Li Xiuzhi is not afraid of hardship. She has been through hard times since she was a child. No matter how hard it is, can she still be as hard as she was when she was a child?
At this moment, she also made up her mind.
As long as Xu Lingjun doesn't dislike her, she will never leave here voluntarily.
Her mother told her that there are very few good men in this world, and if you find one, you have to catch him.
Otherwise, you may regret it later.
a long time.
Xu Lingjun's story was finally finished. Although Qin Nan couldn't see it in the darkness, she could hear the sobbing coming from around her.
However, she didn't mean to point it out, but asked as if nothing happened.
"Xiuzhi, if my sister asks you something, you must answer me honestly."
"Um."
Li Xiuzhi hummed softly. Although she and Qin Nan had just met, feelings were very mysterious.
Some people just feel like old friends at first sight.
Just like Li Xiuzhi and Qin Nan, Li Xiuzhi thinks this sister is so kind, gentle, generous, and beautiful.
"What do you think of Lao Xu?"
Hearing this question, Li Xiuzhi was silent for a while.
This question was too straightforward. Even if she identified Xu Lingjun, she was still a little shy.
On the other side, seeing that Li Xiuzhi didn't answer, Qin Nan was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
A long while.
Li Xiuzhi finally made a good psychological preparation and mustered up the courage.
"I actually like... like him."
"He is a good man."
