Lin Xiufen leaned towards him again and said gently, "When you go back, say something nice to her. She should be able to understand. By the way, I have a bracelet that you gave me last time. I have never worn it. You can give it to her."

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite jewelry box from the drawer and handed it to him.

"how about you?"

Lin Xiufen said with deep affection: "I don't value those material things, I only want you."

Zhao Yang kissed her with mixed feelings, and then coaxed her out.

He returned to the rental house anxiously and was surprised to find Guan Lei cleaning the house.

He quickly snatched the broom from her hand and said gently, "Put it down quickly. Aren't you sick? Why are you cleaning now?"

As he spoke, he touched Guan Lei's forehead and said, "You still have a slight fever. Go to bed and lie down for a while."

Guan Lei nodded and sat obediently on the edge of the bed, her hands folded, looking dazed, like a puppet.

Zhao Yang knew she was angry, so he moved closer to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, wife. I was wrong."

Guan Lei's heart trembled, she bit her lip, and tears came out. She looked at Zhao Yang with tears in her eyes and said, "How could you do this to me? I treat you, I..."

All the grievances came to her mind and she was choked with sobs and unable to speak.

"Don't cry." Zhao Yang wiped her tears distressedly, "I was also used this time. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. I promise."

As he said this, he patted his chest.

"Come on, haven't you always wanted to buy a bracelet? Let's go to the department store and buy it for you now."

Guan Lei's anger was completely gone. She grabbed Zhao Yang's hand and said sympathetically, "I'm very happy that you're thinking of me. You're in a career slump right now, how can you buy such an expensive thing? Buy it later."

Zhao Yang felt relieved.

He was actually gambling just now, betting that Guan Lei would not let him spend money, and he actually won the bet.

He kissed her on the cheek and said, "I knew that my woman is the kindest. How could I care about that little money for such a good woman?"

As he said this, he took out the jewelry box.

When Guan Lei opened it, she was very surprised. Isn’t this the bracelet she saw in the department store last time?

"I've always wanted to buy it for you, but I was short of money a while ago."

Guan Lei heard the hidden meaning, which meant that he had money now? Then he should have found a place to buy a house.

She asked tentatively, and Zhao Yang said gently: "Don't worry, I will definitely buy us a big house. Then we will rent out all the land to others, and our family will enjoy a good life in the county."

Guan Lei frowned. She didn’t want to live with her parents-in-law!

However, the matter of buying a house has not been decided yet, so she is not in a hurry and will talk about it later.

Zhao Yang helped her put on the bracelet and said, "Oh, by the way, Mom called today and said Zhao Lan is getting married and asked you to go back and help prepare the dowry."

Guan Lei: ? ?

Is there anyone who wants such an unruly woman? She was really curious about what kind of person the man was.

"Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard of her going on a blind date before."

"This is fate, I think. I introduced her to someone before, but she didn't want to meet him. This time she wanted to go on her own, and I didn't expect that she would fall in love with him."

"That's really nice. Which village is the man from?"

"He is a math teacher in a middle school. It seems that only his old mother is at home. I forgot which village it is, but she doesn't farm. Anyway, the conditions are pretty good."

Middle school math teacher, old mother.

Guan Lei was suddenly startled and asked quickly: "What's the man's name? Is his last name Zhang?"

Zhao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, his last name is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Qingsheng. So, do you know him?"

"I haven't met him, but I've heard of him. He was on a blind date with my best friend Liu Qinqin, but Liu Qinqin didn't like him at all."

She said the last sentence on purpose, trying to bring down Zhao Lan.

Zhao Yang frowned and asked, "Why?"

"It seems that they said that the man was too short, maybe 1.5 meters tall, and I heard that he wasn't good-looking either. Fortunately, he had a formal job, otherwise he would definitely be single."

"What's the big deal? A man's ability doesn't lie in his appearance. He has a stable job, a government salary, and no worries about food and clothing. How can he not be better than some people who carry hoes?"

"But if the height difference is too big, it always feels weird when we walk together."

Zhao Yang waved his hand and made a stop gesture, "That's because she is too vain. Not all women are like this. Look at my sister, she is not like that."

"But marriage is destined. If you are not destined to be together, no matter what you do, you will never be together."

Guan Lei nodded and said nothing more.

Chenyang Middle School.

At 8:30 in the morning, Guan Youshuang arrived at Class 1, Grade 9 on time to attend Gu Xiaoyun's parent-teacher meeting.

Chenyang Middle School is a comprehensive middle school in the township, including junior high school and high school departments. It is not far from Gujiatai, about three kilometers away.

In the past, this school was pretty good. The principal was strict and the teachers were very motivated.

But since the current inactive principal was appointed three years ago, the school's teaching quality has been getting worse year by year.

Some teachers with good skills and connections directly applied to go to the county’s No. 1 Middle School, while those without connections either had to find ways to do so or just sit back and do nothing.

There are a few teachers who are really serious about teaching, but because of the bad environment, they are unable to change the status quo.

Guan Youshuang felt this atmosphere as soon as she entered the school gate.

The school facilities are simple, with garbage and paper scattered everywhere on the campus. The walls of the toilets in the corners of the playground have collapsed.

During the great study time, students gathered in groups of three or five to chat.

She came to Class 1 of Grade 9.

The walls of the classroom were peeling, and there were still some chalk marks on the blackboard, but they looked a little blurry.

On the podium, there was a middle-aged male teacher with slightly sparse hair and a hint of seriousness under his glasses.

He was wearing a faded blue shirt with the collar slightly open.

This is the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 9, his name is Wang Shan.

The students have already gone to the playground, and those present are all parents who are around 40 years old.

Most of them were dressed in simple farm and worker clothes. Some of them had worried looks on their faces and were rubbing their hands nervously, while others looked indifferent and leaned lazily on the table in the back row.

As soon as Guan Youshuang appeared, everyone looked at this beautiful woman with outstanding temperament, wondering which student she was the parent of.

"The students' names are on the table, please take a seat," said Teacher Wang.

Guan Youshuang searched for a long time and found Gu Xiaoyun's seat in the eighth row, which was the last row.

As soon as she sat down, a short-haired woman in the front seat turned around and said with a smile: "My daughter and Gu Xiaoyun have the best relationship. Are you Sister Xiaoyun?"
