Li Xiulan
"Can you tell me a bit about your basic situation?"
After Liang Xinghua finished talking about his own basic situation, he asked Zhong Liying this question.
Zhong Liying said:
"I'm also from a rural area, have an undergraduate diploma, graduated from Shagang College, have been working for a few years, don't have much savings, also no car no house, family situation... parents are both alive, both live in the rural area, have a younger brother, my brother is more promising than me, just tested into South China University of Technology this year."
Hearing this, Liang Xinghua couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Your family situation is really good, you and your brother are both educated people, unlike me, I wanted to study before but had no money to study, got a junior high school diploma and went out to work."
Zhong Liying said:
"Aren't you pretty good too? University students are everywhere now, Shagang College is a bottom-tier second-tier university, actually it's just so-so, I've been graduated for two years, my monthly salary is only six thousand something."
But Liang Xinghua said:
"A bottom-tier university is still a university, those who have been to university and us who haven't, are ultimately different, at least the quality will be much higher."
At this time he asked:
"Speaking of which, how should I pursue you? I'm a rather stupid person, just afraid the things I give you you won't like, so you must tell me what you like, what you don't like."
Zhong Liying couldn't help but laugh:
"Who pursues a girl like you do? But since you asked, I'll tell you, I don't need you to give me very precious things, even if you give them I won't accept, before confirming the relationship, I don't want to owe favors, you only need to occasionally give me a little romance, the main thing is still to reflect your sense of responsibility, and also, I don't like sweet talk to deceive, I like practical things, don't blow it up sky-high, only to not be able to realize it in the end."
Hearing this, Liang Xinghua grinned, smiling radiantly:
"These requirements of yours, I can all do!"
He indeed could do it, because the requirements Zhong Liying put forward matched his personality all too well.
He is a down-to-earth person, doesn't really know how to say sweet talk, has always been very responsible in doing things, never lightly makes promises for things that cannot be realized.
As for giving precious gifts and such, even if Zhong Liying required him to give, he couldn't give them for a moment either.
After all, he had only been working at Liguo Mountain for a short time, the savings on him were not much.
For the next period of time, Liang Xinghua worked hard during the day, after work in the evening he picked up Zhong Liying, the two went to eat dinner together, then Liang Xinghua sent Zhong Liying back to her rental house, after sending her off he went back to the company, he never rented a house, always slept on a makeshift bed in the company.
He didn't show any impure thoughts to Zhong Liying, didn't even take the initiative to hold hands, only occasionally passing a flower shop or gift shop after work, would conveniently buy a bouquet of flowers, or a small gift, bring it to Zhong Liying.
This kind of relationship between the two lasted for over a month.
This evening, Liang Xinghua as usual picked up Zhong Liying to go eat dinner together, halfway it suddenly rained, the two also didn't bring umbrellas, result could only hide under the bus stop shelter, extremely bedraggled.
Liang Xinghua couldn't help but blame himself:
"All my fault, didn't prepare well before going out."
But Zhong Liying didn't blame him, instead laughed it off:
"It's fine, I didn't bring an umbrella either? Sitting here for a bit, wait for the rain to stop then go eat is fine."
But Liang Xinghua felt uncomfortable in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly intensely longed to own a small sedan, thinking in his heart, if he owned a small sedan, even if it rained, this kind of bedraggled situation wouldn't appear.
So the next day, he made time to go to a used car dealership, spent several ten thousand yuan, took a loan to buy a used Volkswagen.
Before he also wasn't without encountering bedraggled situations, daughter had a fever, he and Lan Menglian took daughter to hospital to see a doctor, were price-gouged by a tricycle driver, to save a few yuan he could only walk there, that time was also bedraggled enough.
Just at that time, couldn't even take out a few thousand yuan, for buying a car this matter, didn't even dare to think, Lan Menglian therefore also scolded him with sharp words.
And now, although his savings are not much, but with job security, loan to buy a car, only pay ten thousand something down payment, the rest paid off in five years, he feels no pressure at all.
After all, his monthly salary now has long exceeded ten thousand, this bit of loan he can still afford.
This evening, Liang Xinghua drove the car to pick up Zhong Liying off work to eat dinner.
This time Zhong Liying brought an umbrella, while Liang Xinghua brought a car.
Zhong Liying saw Liang Xinghua drive over, very surprised:
"Where did you get a car?"
Liang Xinghua laughed and truthfully said:
"Yesterday letting you get rained on with me, was my fault, so today I went to buy a car, used, not expensive, just several ten thousand yuan, my savings weren't enough, so I loaned a part, but the interest is very low, you look at the condition, still okay right?"
Hearing this, Zhong Liying was moved to the point her nose couldn't help but turn sour.
"You silly man, to not let me get rained on, you specially went to buy a car?"
Liang Xinghua saw Zhong Liying in the passenger seat cry, couldn't help but feel a bit flustered, hurriedly pulled out a tissue for her:
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhong Liying wiped her tears:
"Nothing, just a bit moved."
The car started, under the county town's night sky cold rain fell.
On the main street pedestrians holding umbrellas in twos and threes.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll treat."
Liang Xinghua drove while asking.
But Zhong Liying said:
"How about we go back to my rental house to cook and eat, in the future let's eat out less, save the money, save for buying a house later."
Hearing this, Liang Xinghua couldn't help but stare blankly, then also moved to the point his eye sockets turned red.
Because he knew, Zhong Liying saying these words to him, seemingly ordinary, but actually implied a lot.
A woman who can think of your future is absolutely a woman worth cherishing for a lifetime.
"Alright."
Liang Xinghua didn't say much more, just nodded and said this single word.
The two then returned to Zhong Liying's Rental House; at the small Supermarket near the Rental House, they bought some vegetables and some meat, then returned to the Rental House and started cooking.
Zhong Liying washed rice and started the rice cooking; Liang Xinghua wasn't idle either, helping wash the vegetables.
The two coordinated their work; though it was their First Time, they were still quite in sync.
After busy for about an hour, the two finally ate their own cooked, steaming hot Rice and dishes.
Although there was only one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and one Soup, both ate with great relish.
Liang Xinghua couldn't help but sigh in his Inner Heart:
This kind of life, now that is a life with hope!
Thinking of his past life, what was that even called!
Before he was also Stupid; Lan Menglian kept shouting for Divorce, so why didn't she just divorce?
If he had divorced earlier, he would have escaped the Sea of suffering long ago!
At the same time, he secretly made a Decide in his heart:
This hard-won Happiness before him, he must firmly grasp it!
Absolutely cannot miss it!
After finishing the Meal, Liang Xinghua helped wash the Bowl and Chopsticks, then prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Zhong Liying, however, Suddenly grabbed his hand:
"How about... you stay tonight..."
