Chapter 288 Fellow Villager Sister Wu
"What should I write?"
Zheng Yi looked embarrassed and gently tapped on the Kongming lantern with a pen.
Zhu Kai touched the girl's head and said, "Write whatever you want."
Zheng Yi curled her lips and handed the pen to Zhu Kai, "Then you write first."
The boy took the pen and wrote calmly, "I hope Zheng Yi will always be happy!"
The girl stood on tiptoe, read the words clearly, and said with a pout:
"I asked you to write your wish, why did you involve me..."
The girl snatched the pen from her boyfriend's hand, turned her back and quickly wrote a string of small words that only she could understand.
Zhu Kai just smiled when he saw this.
"Have you finished writing yet?" Zheng's father shouted from the side. "Why are you so slow on writing? You and I... Aunt Zhu have already finished writing!"
Father Zhu shook the Kongming lantern in his hand and raised his chin proudly.
Zheng Yi walked over with a red Kongming lantern, also raised her chin and said:
"We've also written it. Since you're so capable, Uncle Zhu, the task of lighting the candles will be left to you!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The middle-aged man coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, straightened his back and agreed:
"Sure! It's no big deal!"
More than ten minutes passed, and the sound of "clicking" from the lighter continued to be heard, but the Kongming lantern still stayed in the same place, with no intention of taking off.
Mother Zheng was already impatient. "Will you let it go? If not, just let Zhu Kai do it!"
"Of course I will let him go!" said Zhu's father stubbornly.
Zheng Yi and Zhu Kai didn't dare to interrupt. At this moment, the vendor who sold the Kongming lanterns to the four of them slowly walked towards them.
"You definitely can't do it this way!" said the hawker and began to give instructions. Seeing that the other party was enthusiastic and professional, Zhu's father did not stop him.
The vendor held the Kongming lantern in one hand, less than half a meter from the ground, and lit the lighter with the other hand and brought it close to the candle.
After a while, the candle emitted a faint light. The vendor continued to hold the Kongming lantern in his hand until it was about to fly away from his palm, and then he used a clever force to send it upwards.
Call ~
The Kongming lantern flew into the sky.
The four of them looked up in fascination, and soon, another Kongming lantern appeared in the sky.
"It's nice to have a Kongming lantern as a companion!"
Father Zhu sighed softly.
The four of them continued to walk forward, feeling the cool breeze from the river.
Of the two Kongming lanterns behind them, one fell into the river and the other landed on a tree.
Early the next morning, Zheng's mother and Zhu's father started arguing.
Zheng Yi, who was still sleeping, was woken up. "Mom, what are you doing?" The girl rubbed her eyes and said, "I want to sleep for a while..."
Mother Zheng threw a smelly sock on the ground and said, "Why are you sleeping? Look at them, father and son. They actually asked me to wash their socks!"
"Ah?" Zheng Yi regained consciousness instantly and stammered, "Uncle Zhu...this...this can't be true, right?"
Zhu's father looked very embarrassed. The middle-aged man glanced at Zheng's mother secretly and said indifferently:
"Isn't it just washing a sock? Didn't you cook a whole table of food by yourself last night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Kai came out of the bathroom with a messy hair.
"Dad... just let me wash them." After saying that, he picked up the socks on the ground and gave Zheng Yi a soothing look.
Zheng Yi's breathing became rapid. She didn't expect that her boyfriend's father would have such thoughts and take her mother's efforts for granted.
We were getting along so well yesterday...how come it turned out like this after just one night?
The girl really couldn't understand.
After the two young men left for work, Zheng's mother said to Zhu's father:
"You said Zhu Kai, don't you think he still wants to be with his daughter...but they..."
Father Zhu shook his head and denied it: "He is not such an ignorant child. I think... he has other plans."
Zheng's mother remained silent after hearing this. No matter what her son planned, she had to take action.
"I have to go out today. You should stay home." Mother Zheng anticipated that Father Zhu would refuse and added, "I have something to do. It's not convenient for me to take you with me."
"Well... okay." Since his ex-wife said so, Zhu Gaoyuan didn't know what to say.
He was not idle at home. After washing the clothes, he started cleaning the house.
Half an hour later, Zheng's mother came to the bathroom of a high-end office building.
There, she found Sister Wu, a fellow villager from the neighboring village with whom she had once worked.
"How do you have time to come to see me?" Sister Wu smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, making her look even more kind.
Mother Zheng pretended to give the other person a cold look and said helplessly:
"Someone said they were going to introduce her son to my daughter, but then nothing happened. I'm really worried about my daughter, aren't I?"
Ugh!
Mother Zheng lowered her head and sighed.
"Ouch! Don't do this to me!"
Mother Zheng raised her head and smiled mischievously, "What?"
Without saying anything, Sister Wu slapped Mother Zheng's arm and said in a feigned anger:
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so sarcastic..."
"Hahahaha...hahaha..." Zheng's mother burst into laughter. After laughing, she said in a normal tone, "Does your son have a girlfriend now?"
Ugh!
Sister Wu's eyes dimmed and she folded her arms.
"That brat keeps saying he's busy all day long, but he doesn't really pay attention to this at all."
"Tell me, can you find a partner this way?"
Hearing this, Mother Zheng was very happy and suggested:
"I'm very dissatisfied with my daughter's current partner. How wonderful it would be if our children could be a couple!"
Sister Wu looked up at the sky and sighed, "Who says it's not..."
"Hey? How about this..." Mother Zheng leaned close to Sister Wu's ear and whispered a lot.
Sister Wu's expression changed again and again, and finally she asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?"
Mother Zheng patted her chest and assured: "Believe me, I can do it!"
"But...my son..."
"Oh! Don't worry! Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I'll be the one to explain it to them."
Sister Wu was still hesitant, but seeing the other party's confidence, she also felt that this could be done, and happily agreed:
"Okay! Then I'll ask my son out tonight."
"okay!"
After coming out of the high-end office building, Zheng's mother took out her cell phone and called her daughter.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Mom? Why are you calling me at this time? Is it Zhu..."
"No, no, don't talk about it yet and listen to me."
"When I was working as a cleaner here, I met a fellow villager, Sister Wu. Do you remember her?"
Zheng Yi had a vague impression of her as a very enthusiastic and cheerful aunt.
"Remember... why would you mention her for no reason?"
