Not to mention Li Zijuan being surprised, Xu Zhiyi didn't expect Xu Cheng to be so happy.
Xu Cheng didn't mean to explain, and waved his hand at her, "Go to bed quickly, we have to catch a flight tomorrow. When you get to Hangzhou, study hard and don't make any mistakes."
"oh……"
Xu Zhiyi stood up hesitantly, returned to his bedroom half surprised and half confused, and lay on the bed absentmindedly, his thoughts in a mess.
For a while, I couldn't sleep.
On the other side, Li Zijuan wanted to ask something else. Xu Cheng frowned, rested his head weakly on her shoulder, and said feebly: "Zijuan, rub it for me, my head hurts."
Li Zijuan swallowed her words, knelt on one knee on the sofa, held Xu Cheng's head, and massaged him familiarly from light to heavy.
After a long time, Li Zijuan said softly: "A-Cheng, we are all over fifty. Don't be as strong as you were when you were young. For some things, just try your best. Don't embarrass yourself."
Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and swallowed hard. He suddenly grabbed Li Zijuan's wrist, pushed it away with a fierce force, hugged Li Zijuan around the waist, buried his head deeply in her arms, and his voice was choked with sobs:
"Zijuan, I understand. I just don't want to give in, I don't want to..."
Li Zijuan gently stroked his hair, feeling her nose sore, and tried her best to control her unbalanced voice: "Is the result determined?"
Xu Cheng paused for a long time, shook his head first, and after a second or two, nodded again.
Li Zijuan dug Xu Cheng out of her arms and gently held his head with an encouraging smile, "That means it hasn't been announced yet. The news you heard may have been released by others." Smoke bombs, don’t be discouraged.”
"A Cheng, just do your own thing well. You often say that the education industry is a conscientious job. Just have a clear conscience. No matter what the result is, you have a clear conscience. If the result is really unsatisfactory, you have to believe that it is not you. The problem is that the world has failed you."
Xu Cheng looked at Li Zijuan and nodded slowly, the corners of his eyes moist.
After washing Xu Cheng's feet, Li Zijuan helped him back to the bedroom.
The lights in the living room went out, and later, the lights in the couple's bedroom also went out. There was no light in the whole house, only shadows and scattered lights from outside sneaked in.
Xu Zhian opened his eyes and stared at the kitchen ceiling through the scattered light.
The family's house has a layout of two bedrooms and two living rooms, and is more than 70 square meters.
When he was a child, he and his sister Xu Zhiyi lived in a room with bunk beds, which was okay. When Xu Zhiyi entered junior high school, his parents bought him a single bed in the corner of the kitchen. He has been living in this room since he was 7 years old. Sleep on the bed.
After Xu Zhiyi went to college, he would sleep in her bedroom as long as she was not at home. When she came back from vacation, he would sleep in this bed again.
Other teachers' families have been upgraded to larger and newer houses over the years, but his family is the only one who still lives in an old family building.
His family didn't have any extra money to change their house, and all the money was used to send their siblings to school.
It was only from August this year that the family began to save the remaining money.
He works and can make money. Even if he doesn't make much, his parents don't have to pay expensive tuition fees for him.
Go ahead, a funeral home is a funeral home, if others can do it, he can do it too.
Make good money, save a down payment with your family, and buy a big house with three bedrooms and two living rooms.
No matter how cruel or unreasonable Xu's "tyrant" is, he will grow old and get tired. Sometimes he needs to rely on others, and he must be allowed to live in a big house.
Xu Zhian turned over and closed his eyes tightly.
sleep!
He has to get up early tomorrow to take his sister to the high-speed rail station with his mother.
There is a small airport in Acropolis, but there is no direct flight to Hangzhou. You can only take an hour's high-speed train to Yincheng International Airport to catch a flight.
The flight was at 10:45 in the morning. I took the high-speed train at 7:50 and arrived at Yincheng Airport at 9 o'clock. The time was just right.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Xu Zhian carried Xu Zhiyi's suitcase out of the unit building. When he looked up, he saw Wen Xuezhi guarding the downstairs with a black Mercedes parked next to him.
Seeing Xu Zhian, Wen Xuezhi stepped forward warmly and reached out to take the suitcase in his hand, "Give me the suitcase and put it in the trunk."
Xu Zhian dodged his outstretched hand and looked at Wen Xuezhi.
Wen Xuezhi's face darkened.
Later, Xu Zhiyi and Li Zijuan also walked out of the building. When they saw Wen Xuezhi, they were stunned for a second.
Soon, Li Zijuan pulled Xu Zhiyi behind her and greeted her with a smile, "Xiao Wen, you're here so early. Thank you for coming to see Zhiyi off. You have to go to work later, so you don't need to send her to the high-speed rail station." , Xiao An and I are idlers, we can just send her off, you can go back quickly."
A smile immediately appeared on Wen Xuezhi's face, and he grabbed the handle of the suitcase in Xu Zhian's hand, "Auntie, we don't go to work until 8:30, so we have enough time. I will drive and take you with me."
Li Zijuan waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no need to bother, Xiao Wen, we appreciate your kindness, please go back quickly."
Wen Xuezhi felt that Li Zijuan's attitude had changed, but he couldn't care less. He secretly tried hard to grab the suitcase from Xu Zhian's hand.
Today, he gave Xu Zhiyi a gift.
Xu Zhian felt his strength and began to exert force himself.
The two secretly competed with each other, and after a stalemate for a while, Xu Zhian yanked hard and took back the suitcase.
For a moment, the two glared at each other.
Xu Zhian was more than half a head taller than Wen Xuezhi, and he was also taller than him. He showed no timidity when facing him.
From top to bottom, he suppressed Wen Xuezhi with his gaze, preventing him from making any rash moves.
Later, Xu Zhian gritted his teeth and said: "My mother said, you don't need to send it, please take it back."
Xu Zhian ignored him, turned around and grabbed the anxious Xu Zhiyi, and said forcefully: "Sister, let's go. The car I ordered is at the gate of the community."
Xu Zhiyi held his hand tightly and followed closely.
Wen Xuezhi made a gesture to follow, and Li Zijuan hurriedly stepped in front, "Xiao Wen, there's really no need to send it off. Obediently, just go back first. When auntie sends Zhiyi back, I'll tell you some things in detail. That's it, I I'm leaving."
After saying that, she jogged to keep up with the two people in front of her.
When Xu Zhiyi got into the taxi, he instinctively looked behind him and saw that Wen Xuezhi hadn't followed, so he felt relieved.
Seeing this, Xu Zhian said: "Sister, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, I will never let him pester you."
When the car started, Xu Zhiyi leaned forward and ruffled his hair with a happy smile on his face, "You have really grown into a man. My sister is so protective. Just now, I felt so safe."
"Oops, my hair is messed up!"
Xu Zhian knocked off the clutches of her love and immediately turned his head away proudly.
"Just do it." Xu Zhiyi bared his teeth and claws.
The two siblings started fighting back and forth.
Li Zijuan ignored the fight between them, as if she was still frightened. The car drove out for a long time, and then she seemed to come back to her senses. She looked at the sister and brother who finally stopped, and held Xu Zhiyi's hand tightly, as if she had found a treasure again.
"Girl, when I think about what your dad said this morning, I break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, you and he didn't talk much. Fortunately, you don't have feelings for him. If only from the beginning, you and him would have met each other's eyes and they would have been able to talk. After a long time, then..."
Li Zijuan couldn't speak any more, and her hands started to tremble slightly.
