The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

Chapter 50: One Thank You Is Not Enough

Lele held his breath and dared not breathe.

"I'm old, and I can't maintain my previous relationships. It wouldn't be a bad thing if there were younger people who could continue."

"I know, Dad. Thank you for your help. There's no need to say so much. It makes me think I'm the bad guy." Lin Xianglan frowned and sat upright on the side.

Wei Wuya remained calm, and Lele breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, Lele, can you give mom a reason why you must go to school?" Grandpa suddenly changed the subject and looked at Lele.

Lele thought for a moment and bit her lip. She brewed a new pot of tea, gathered the teacups together, washed them clean and heated them, poured the tea into them one by one, and then respectfully presented them to the elders and also served a cup to Wei Wuya.

Then a gentle voice rang out like the sound of nature: "I am so lucky to have met you. Everyone who loves me is the light of my life.

But my living environment is different from yours. I have seen suffering and experienced despair. There are thousands and thousands of people like me who are stuck in the quagmire.

They need fairness and justice, as well as spiritual salvation.

Fairness and justice should be bestowed by public authority, but in today's society, money and power have become tools of bullying. Once you enter the mighty river of society, you're forced to follow the current. I can't guarantee that I'll still be myself after wielding public power, so I've never considered taking the civil service exam.

I want to study psychology. Even if I can't save others in the future, at least I can achieve self-growth.

Maybe after I finish school, I can accept the path arranged by my mother, I can accept it happily and work hard.

As for more, I haven’t thought about it yet, because I don’t know where this road will lead to.”

The living room was completely silent. Wei Qifeng and Lin Xianglan looked at the weak girl in surprise, their hearts surging with emotion.

Grandpa nodded, smiled, and shook his head. "Well, good boy. Grandpa supports you."

The extended family meeting ended in a cheerful atmosphere of unanimous support for Lele to go to school.

In the evening, my aunt prepared a sumptuous dinner and the family had a drink. After dinner, Wei Wuya and Lele went to see their grandparents off.

Grandpa and grandma arrived at the apartment. Before leaving, grandpa called Lele and said, "Lele, although I support you going, I still want to say something to you: my life is limited, but my knowledge is limitless! You are a smart child!"

Lele looked at his grandfather with eyes full of admiration!

She kept repeating in her mind the famous saying that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar: My life is limited, but my knowledge is unlimited!

On the way home, Wei Wuya still looked calm, with no emotion fluctuating. He didn't speak, didn't ask for a kiss, and just drove silently.

"Brother, thank you!" Lele saw that Wei Wuya had been silent, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Hey, a simple thank you is not enough!" Wei Wuya's car suddenly made a sharp turn and deviated from the route home.

"Aren't we going home?" Lele asked in surprise.

"Take my canary out for a ride!" Wei Wuya had a sly smile on his face.

"Ah, what canary?" Lele's face flushed.

Wei Wuya only took a glance and his heart started pounding. "No, the wind can't hold it anymore. Let's change places."

"Ah?" Lele had a bad feeling and pleaded softly, "Let's go for a ride!"

"Haha, good!" Wei Wuya drove the car seriously, speeding on a wide road with a sparse population and almost no vehicles.

Wei Wuya opened the car windows and the sunroof. The Gobi Desert was silent without any street lights, and the only sound was the whistling wind in his ears.

The sky is filled with starlight pouring down like an endless galaxy.

Countless stars were densely packed across the sky, as if an artist had sprinkled countless sparkling diamond dust on the black curtain of the universe. Without the interference of moonlight, the stars' light seemed particularly bright, gleaming with a cold brilliance.

"It's so beautiful!" Lele was shocked. When he was a child, on summer nights, when the house was too hot, his parents would take a mat and spread it under the tree in front of the door. Lele would sleep with his head resting on the ground, listening to the chirping of insects and gazing at the stars.

Wei Wuya slowly stopped the car.

"Go down and take a walk!"

The two got out of the car, holding hands, and stood under the stars.

The outlines of the constellations in the sky are remarkably clear, as if every mythological story in the sky has come to life before your eyes. Whether it's the spoon-shaped arrangement of the Big Dipper or the elegant posture of Cygnus, you can recognize them one by one.

The extreme silence makes people feel as if they can hear the echo of their own heartbeats and the sound of blood flowing in their ears.

"Do you still remember what you did during the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination?" Wei Wuya's low and magnetic voice broke the silence.

"Selling watermelons!" Lele blurted out.

She remembered very clearly that the high school entrance examination ended early and her mother had planted more than two acres of watermelons and had no time to take care of them.

She got up early in the morning to artificially pollinate the watermelons and pinch off the side shoots so that the only main branch would grow stronger. Only one watermelon could be left on each vine so that the watermelons could grow big and round.

In July, watermelons are ripe. My father uses a tractor to pull the watermelons to the city to sell them. Sometimes he sets up a stall at the exit of the highway, right on this road.

Lele is fast and accurate in arithmetic, and her father likes to take her with him. Sometimes when he comes home late at night, he can keep her company.

"But later on, it became very strange. We often couldn't sell out all during the day, but at around 8 or 9 in the evening, when it was about to get dark, there were always people who bought them all," Lele recalled.

"Haha! That summer, Xiao Yang, Wu Feng and the others almost vomited from eating so much watermelon!" Wei Wuya couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah? You bought it?" Lele was incredulous.

"You and your dad came to our house to deliver watermelons. I secretly watched you in my room. Your little face was sunburned red. I went to the place where you were selling watermelons when I had nothing to do in the evening. You looked so pitiful!" Wei Wuya said as he hugged Lele.

"Don't my parents know?" Lele asked.

"Well, I bought it with my pocket money. The watermelons were 2 cents per pound, and 500 pounds only cost 100 yuan. I bought them over so many days, but it didn't even cost me a month's pocket money." Wei Wuya said with a smile.

"If you're afraid my dad won't take your money, then ask someone else to buy it!"

"Well, it just so happened that they were playing with cars at that time and loved to go racing on that road, so I bought it on the way. That's when I discovered how beautiful the galaxy here is, especially with you under the starry sky, it's even more beautiful!"

Lele looked up at Wei Wuya and said, "Hey, it seems we're not using the same monetary system! We have over two mu of watermelon, but we can actually sell less than 2 kilograms. 8000 yuan is a huge income for our family!"

Lele smiled, Wei Wuya's eyes were like stars. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Wei Wuya.

"Are you so precocious?" Lele laughed.

"No, I liked you even earlier than that!" Wei Wuya hugged Lele.

Lele's heart was pounding, and she felt a little moved.

"Can you thank me now?" He was serious for only three seconds, and Wei Wuya looked at Lele with a wicked smile.

The car sped along the road and stopped at a hotel in the suburbs. Lele got out slowly and stood hesitantly at the door.

Wei Wuya grabbed Lele's hand and said, "Let's go! If you don't leave, I'll carry you upstairs."

After checking in, he took Lele upstairs. Lele blushed and her heart beat fast, her mind full of what Lin Xianglan said, "Married couples should be moderate!"

How can I be restrained?

The big bed in the hotel was soft and comfortable, and Lele felt like she was sinking into cotton.

Lele's body was soft and smooth, and Wei Wuya also fell into her gentle embrace.

The thick blackout curtains in the hotel prevented any sunlight from coming in. For the first time, Lele's biological clock failed and she did not wake up in the morning.
