C732 A Person's Candlelight Dinner
On the other side, Lee Jieming couldn't help but feel hesitant. Should he accept it or not? Should he accept it? It seemed to have violated the principle of buying wheat. If he didn't accept it, it would be inhumane to leave someone to die.
Bai Qiyun and Zhuge Xueyan saw the situation around and rushed over to see what was going on. When they saw this pitiful woman with a face full of vicissitudes of life, the corners of their eyes unconsciously became moist.
"Big Brother Li, what she said is right. What happened to her family. What a tragedy. Do you know? She still had a daughter who only got into a university this year. She was waiting to raise enough school fees to go to school. If she can't sell the wheat that has been drenched by the rain, then her family will be finished. " At this moment, Li Xuekui finally mustered up his courage and kept persuading Lee Jieming.
When Lee Jieming heard this, he could not pay attention to it for a moment, so he looked at Bai Qiyun helplessly and asked her to pay attention to it.
It turned out that Lee Jieming and Bai Qiyun didn't know what Lee Xueqiang's purpose of buying the wheat this time was. They thought that he was doing it out of good intentions and just spent some money to do good things.
Now, Lee Jieming and the others had almost bought all the sprouts in Lee Village. That amount was really not small. If they were to buy the sprouts from other villages... How would they explain it to Lee Xueqiang when he returned?
In fact, Bai Qiyun was the same as Lee Jieming. It was not the meaning of Lee Xueqiang buying the malt, so she did not pay attention to it. She could only stand there blankly. She did not say she would buy it, nor did she say she would not buy it.
Seeing that Lee Jieming and Bai Qiyun did not speak, the middle-aged woman thought that they would not take her malt. So she felt very sad and unconsciously knelt down in front of them in front of everyone. She started to cry.
"Mom..." At this moment, a twenty-one-year-old girl suddenly ran out from the side. Then, she immediately leaned on the back of the middle-aged woman. She also cried "mother" while shedding tears.
The sudden appearance of this pitiful girl immediately attracted Zhuge Xueyan's attention. She unconsciously looked at the girl and saw that she looked extremely delicate and pure. Her crescent moon-like eyebrows and her crystal-like big eyes were full of spiritual energy. There was also that pretty oval face. It really made people's heart beat faster when they saw it. "It's an extra girl."
Bai Qiyun immediately helped that middle-aged woman up from the ground. Where was Zhuge Xueyan? She also took the opportunity to pull the girl up and then softly asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
That girl looked at Zhuge Xueyan with tears on her face and then shyly replied in a low voice, "I am Liu Feifei." "Liu Feifei, you just got into university this year, right? Do you really want to go to school?" Zhuge Xueyan continued to ask.
"Yes." The girl nodded with tears on her face.
On the other side, Xiao Ruzi's heart skipped a beat when she heard Che Jiezhao's sad voice. It was all a joke just now, but in his sad voice, she suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xiao Ruzi stared at Che Jiezhao and was silent for a while. She repeated his words again and again. With a serious expression, she asked sadly, "I just want to eat the breakfast you made. Is this not okay?"
Xiao Ruzi was like a stubborn child. In Che Jiezhao's words, she had been provoked. She did not know where he had offended her.
In any case, she felt very unhappy. Che Jiezhao was silent and did not say a word. He looked deeply at Xiao Ruzi's face.
That look contained too many emotions. It was too complicated, helpless, and sad, but it was all negative emotions.
Xiao Ruzi looked at it and her heart skipped a beat. She watched Che Jiezhao step forward and was about to walk in front of her. The sound of his footsteps was like a sharp sword stabbing into her heart.
The pain rose violently. In the midst of the violent sound, Xiao Ruzi frowned. Panic rose up in her heart all of a sudden.
Xiao Ruzi turned around and held Che Jiezhao tightly in her arms. Her voice was filled with warmth and uneasiness. "Che Jiezhao, don't go. I am cooking for you."
Xiao Ruzi compromised and said gently. In her compromise, Che Jiezhao did not back down at all. He said coldly, "No need. I will go out and eat."
Then Che Jiezhao grabbed Xiao Ruzi's hand and gently took her hand off his waist. He did not look back and walked downstairs with his feet.
His footsteps were very firm and did not stop at all. Xiao Ruzi did not know what happened when she saw Che Jiezhao walking downstairs with his feet. Anyway, she felt that her heart was floating.
Even though she was sad, she did not know what to say to stop him. So Xiao Ruzi did not say anything and just watched him go downstairs with her eyes wide open.
Xiao Ruzi could only stand on the stairs in a daze and sigh heavily. She did not know why she was so stubborn just now. Anyway, in that stubbornness, she suddenly felt regret.
But reaching out her hand to touch Che Jiezhao's body, Xiao Ruzi did not know how to save it. Time passed quietly, and Xiao Ruzi was busy in the kitchen. Halfway through her work, she stopped all the movements in her hands. She ran to the hall as fast as she could.
Xiao Ruzi called Che Jiezhao and said gently, "Che Jiezhao, when are you going home? I have prepared dinner and will wait for you at home."
Xiao Ruzi's tone was gentle, like a proper wife. However, as she was full of expectation, the voice on the other end of the phone said calmly and emotionlessly, "I have to go out to socialize tonight, so I won't come back for dinner."
Then the phone was hung up. Before Xiao Ruzi could say anything, the phone was hung up by Che Jiezhao in a daze. Beside her ear was a busy sound that kept echoing.
In the midst of those crazy voices that could not be stopped, Xiao Ruzi sighed heavily. Her stiff body was stunned on the sofa for a long time. She smiled and said to herself, "It's fine. If he doesn't come, I will eat by myself."1
After saying that, Xiao Ruzi's sad mood disappeared. She once again strode to the kitchen and hurriedly left.
Even though Che Jiezhao did not say that he would not come back to eat, Xiao Ruzi still imagined that he would come back to eat. In her imagination, her words were filled with warmth.
Xiao Ruzi gently said to herself, "Che Jiezhao came back and saw that I made so many dishes. He will definitely be very happy." Xiao Ruzi gave herself confidence and then she was very busy. When all the dishes were placed on the table, it was already dark. She looked outside the door.
Even though Che Jiezhao said that he would not come back, Xiao Ruzi was still looking forward to his return. She looked in the direction of the landline and wanted to call him.
Xiao Ruzi was walking with her legs, but when her fingers touched the receiver and fiddled with the numbers, she immediately regretted it and hung up the phone.
Che Jiezhao was having a social gathering outside, so he probably didn't want to be disturbed. Xiao Ruzi gave herself a reason and then a smile slowly rose on her face.
Xiao Ruzi gently said to herself, "It's alright. I will wait for Che Jiezhao to come back. If he doesn't eat, then let him watch me eat."
With this thought, the corner of Xiao Ruzi's mouth rose into a smile. Her laughter was very loud, but it seemed very empty in the empty hall.
Xiao Ruzi always felt that it was empty, overflowing with sadness. In this kind of sadness, she felt very uncomfortable. She turned off the light and the room sank into the "darkness."
Xiao Ruzi reached out her hand and fumbled to the side of the table in the darkness. She carefully touched the lighter on the table and very quickly, she touched it.
Xiao Ruzi hurriedly pressed the switch of the lighter and the room was illuminated by the bright flame of the lighter.
In the warm light from the candlelight, Xiao Ruzi saw the candlestick that was originally placed on the table. On the candlestick, there were already a few candles.
"Ha, what a romantic. This candlelight dinner..." Xiao Ruzi unconsciously muttered to herself, only the echo from the wall of the room. That echo was very loud, which made Xiao Ruzi feel even more uncomfortable when she heard it.
Thus, Xiao Ruzi forced a smile at the side of herself. On the other side. She lit up the candle in the candlelight. Her lips unconsciously curled up into a smile. That was her fake happiness and happiness. In fact, her heart was even more bitter than Huang Lian.
In fact, Xiao Ruzi's fate was not very good. The person she truly loved was Xiao Yun. However, even though she had given birth to a child with him, she was still so fickle. She actually abandoned him and fell in love with Xiao Zhaozhao. For this, Xiao Ruzi really did not know how many tears flowed down her face.
Xiao Ruzi quickly lit up the candle and the originally cold and dark room. It was immediately illuminated by the candlelight. There was also a trace of warmth. It made people feel warm in their hearts. Xiao Ruzi looked at the dancing flames and her mood unconsciously became a little warmer.
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Ruzi poured red wine into the goblet. The rose-red color was mixed with the flame that kept jumping and rising in front of her.
In the joy of the candle flames, Xiao Ruzi smiled happily. It was as if she saw the beloved Xiao Yun on the chair opposite her. His tall figure and his thick eyebrows. And his handsome face made her forced smile into a happy smile.
