Chapter 81: I think I will cherish her
After getting up and washing up, before I had time to have dinner, I sent my electronic resume to the email address that Li Xiaoyun left to me.
Of course, I did not place all my hopes on Li Xiaoyun's recommendation. I still traveled between various companies all day long and started the same application process.
After applying for the job for a day, I finally sat on the bench in Pengcheng Square under the sunset, secretly lit a cigarette, and looked at the surging fountains and the playful crowds in a habitual loss of consciousness.
A square administrator with a red armband walked past me. I hurriedly put the cigarette behind my back until she walked away, took a few more sips before she slapped it out and threw it into the trash can.
After calming down, I was a little bored, so my thinking became dissipated. I didn’t expect that after returning to Xuzhou, I would work so hard to find a job for myself to support my family. This made me realize that maybe I really wanted to stay in this city, then get married and have children, and enjoy the family happiness of being together.
After sitting for a while, I received a WeChat message from Li Xiaoyun, who told me that the resume had been handed over to the planning director of their company, and that I could go over and have an interview tomorrow if I had time.
I immediately replied to Li Xiaoyun and told her that there was no problem.
...
When I got home, my father and mother were dressed neatly. Before I could change my shoes, my mother said to me: "Zhaoyang, stop changing shoes, go out for dinner with us right away."
I asked in confusion: "Who are you having dinner with?"
"Xiao Yun, her parents, and Aunt Zhang who introduced you to you."
"What...what does this mean?"
"The two families have a deeper understanding. Hurry up and change into a serious set of clothes. Your dad and I will wait for you downstairs." My mother said in a urgency.
"Whose idea is this?"
"Why are you talking so much, hurry up and change your clothes." My mother slapped me and said with dissatisfaction.
I nodded and asked no more questions. I was actually looking forward to this dinner for the two families. Even if my mother didn't explain it clearly, I knew the meaning of this dinner.
After changing into a formal outfit, I went downstairs. My father drove his Santana 2000 that was about to be scrapped and drove my mother and I to the restaurant we had made in advance.
After we arrived, Li Xiaoyun and her parents had not arrived yet, but Aunt Zhang arrived before us.
We chatted at the entrance of the restaurant while waiting for Li Xiaoyun and her family.
Aunt Zhang smiled and asked me, "Zhaoyang, is the person you introduced to you reliable?"
"Reliable." I nodded solemnly.
"What do you mean by yourself?"
"I think it's pretty good." I said, but I didn't say I like this.
Aunt Zhang pulled my sign language and said to me earnestly: "You think it's good, and you'll take the initiative later. You're a boy, do you know?"
I nodded. At this time, a red Focus hatchback stopped in the parking lot not far from us, and then I saw Li Xiaoyun and her parents getting out of the car.
Aunt Zhang, mom and daddy Ban met them, and I was stunned for a moment before following them.
The two families greeted each other politely, and I asked Li Xiaoyun next to me softly: "Do you know that our two families are going to have dinner together tonight?"
Li Xiaoyun shook her head and said, "I want to know that I told you on the phone just now. They only told me after I got home."
I smiled and said, "Then do you know what they mean?"
"Let's get us together." Li Xiaoyun responded straightforwardly and said with a smile.
"Then do you think we can do it?"
"It's too early to say whether it's successful or not. I think we need to get along in depth."
I nodded and said, "Then we will deal with each other later."
Li Xiaoyun smiled slightly and said, "Well, let's fight with each other..."
While talking, a group of people walked into the restaurant. After sitting down, they ordered the order. The two families started chatting again, while Li Xiaoyun and I sat on one side and looked at each other.
After the food was served, I helped Ban Dad and Li Xiaoyun's father pour white wine, Li Xiaoyun helped her mother and her mother, and Aunt Zhang poured juice.
The two of us had a very tacit understanding and made the parents of both sides smile knowingly.
...
During the meal, the parents of both sides had a very speculative conversation and soon talked about the topic of wedding room if I got married with Li Xiaoyun.
Li Xiaoyun's parents were very open-minded and expressed their willingness to contribute as much as possible to our wedding room. This made my mother and Mr. Ban very happy. The house is really not cheap now. If Li Xiaoyun's family is willing to contribute, the burden on our family will be much smaller. After all, Mr. Ban earns a decent salary, which is not considered a rich family.
Aunt Zhang struck me and Li Xiaoyun while the iron was hot, and said, "Look, your parents have expressed their opinions, and you have expressed their opinions too."
Li Xiaoyun and I looked at each other, but neither spoke. Aunt Zhang winked at me, and I remembered what she told me to take the initiative before dinner.
I said, "Actually, I have a good impression of Xiao Yun, but I still need to understand each other deeply so that my future marriage will be reliable. But now I can express my opinion: I will definitely work hard, be a good husband, and take good care of both families."
As soon as I finished speaking, Aunt Zhang sighed: "This child speaks so well!"
Li Xiaoyun's parents nodded in agreement, but Li Xiaoyun pursed her lips and refused to let herself laugh. In fact, she still knows some of my virtues.
Aunt Zhang asked Li Xiaoyun again and said, "Xiaoyun, what do you say?"
Li Xiaoyun thought for a while and said, "I have the same idea as Zhaoyang, and we still need to understand each other further."
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "It's right to think so, but you are not young at this age. You should consider getting married when you get along well."
Li Xiaoyun and I nodded at the same time, and our families would also smile. Next, we will see the process of getting along with Li Xiaoyun.
Blind dates seem so easy in a harmonious atmosphere. Of course, I also know why Li Xiaoyun's parents agreed to date us. First, Daddy Ban has a pretty decent job, and secondly, I also graduated from a key university. Although I don't have a job for the time being, there will definitely be ones. As long as I work hard, at least in this city, I can support the family that Li Xiaoyun and I may form. Li Xiaoyun also has a high-paying job, which makes the future that may occur look very beautiful, and I am also looking forward to this beauty.
This strong sense of expectation made me realize that I have been wandering enough and decadent enough over the years. I want to change my life and work hard for my future family. I believe that after such motivation is created, Li Xiaoyun and I will not necessarily have a worse life in the future than Fang Yuan and Yan Yan who are far away in Suzhou.
I thought: If Li Xiaoyun was willing to give me a chance, I would cherish her and gradually fall in love with her.
...
After the dinner, the family of both parties told Aunt Zhang that it was still early and suggested that Li Xiaoyun and I go to see a movie. Of course, I have no problem, and Li Xiaoyun also agreed.
And this movie may be the prelude to the beginning of my relationship with Li Xiaoyun.

After the week of the explosion, the top nine book friends will be selected on the fan list of the computer station to give a physical book, and the number one on the fan list of the mobile station will also give a copy. The reason is that the 9-to-1 ratio is because the voting volume of the mobile station is too small, and it is not fair to the book friends who vote on the computer station. I hope that the mobile station will not have any objections, and everyone can feel comfortable reading a book.
In addition, the physical version of this book will not be publicly subscribed, but will only be sent through activities... Of course, there will be many activities in the future, mainly activities that do not require everyone to spend money, such as writing book reviews, uploading pictures of characters, and spending activities will be small, so that book friends who are not yet financially capable can also get physical books as free as possible.
This update event will first send out the first batch of 10 physical books. At that time, the top nine fans on the computer site and the first on the mobile site will be in contact with Anxin, leave an address, and send the book to you. After the event, announce Anxin’s contact information.
