209 Chapter 208, Was This Jealousy
While they were eating, Li Zhiming sighed, “Now that Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhang are married, Xiao Lei and Xiaoning are also married. I feel like a big stone has been lifted from my heart, and I feel much better. When Xiao Yong gets married next year, I’ll have nothing to worry about.”
Hearing Li Zhiming’s words, Ji Zixuan felt that something was wrong. He reminded him in a low voice, “Grandpa, there’s still Auntie!”
Li Miao glared at Ji Zixuan, hinting at him not to speak nonsense.
She did not want to get married early. Seeing her Second Brother being urged to get married by the family all day, she felt uncomfortable.
Speaking of Li Miao, Li Zhiming smiled. “Your Auntie is different. She’s a university student and will stay in the big city in the future. A girl like her will get married late.”
Li Miao’s face was a little red from the compliment. She lowered her head and ate her food, not daring to say anything.
Fortunately, the topic soon shifted to Li Xu and Zhang Kun.
“You two have been getting your marriage licenses for a while. When do you plan to hold the ceremony?” Li Zhiming asked again.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and said, “It’s simple for the two of us. When we go to a restaurant, we will invite our close relatives and friends for a meal. After the new year comes, we will hold the ceremony on a Saturday weekend with good weather.”
Although Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua didn’t agree, Li Xu was in her thirties after all. She had her own ideas.
The two of them didn’t say anything.
After the party was over, Li Lei sent Li Xu and the others back to the city. Only then did he hold Meng Xiaoning’s hand and slowly walk home.
Meng Xiaoning had took a long marriage leave. With the new year’s leave, she could stay at home until the eighth day of the New Year.
“I still have some money on hand. Why don’t we go out and play for a few days?” Li Lei saw that Meng Xiaoning was still in a bad mood, so he comforted her in a low voice.
However, Meng Xiaoning kept her head down and walked forward with her head lowered.
Seeing this, Li Lei sighed helplessly and quickly followed her.
What happened today was not what he had thought.
Who would have thought that Liang Yufang would linger around and do such a thing?
The two of them were silent all the way. After entering the door, Meng Xiaoning walked quickly into the house. Li Lei locked the door and followed her into the house.
Meng Xiaoning was busy in the kitchen. She poured water into the pot and then sat in front of the stove, silently adding wood.
There was no stove in the house. In winter, it was all heated by the heated brick bed. If one did not warm the heated brick bed before going to bed, one would not be able to sleep at night.
Li Lei saw Meng Xiaoning’s sullen face and quickly went up to her. “Go prepare the bed and spread the bed sheets. I’ll burn the woods!”
The bed was full of peanuts and dates during the day. They couldn’t sleep without cleaning it up.
While they were talking, Li Lei reached out and snatched the firewood stick from Meng Xiaoning’s hand.
Meng Xiaoning stood up in silence and returned to the bedroom. She put all the peanuts and dates on the heated brick bed into a bag and then took out the bedding.
The quilt and bedding were all new and were her dowry. She looked at the brand new bedding and for a moment, her eyes reddened.
She also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Lei, but she just felt wronged.
Marriage was originally a happy event, and it was very likely to be something that she would only experience once in her life.
After Liang Yufang made such a scene, whenever she thought about her own wedding, she would always think of Liang Yufang.
Now that she thought about it, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Not only her but also Li Lei.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her life was miserable. Tears fell down her cheeks.
Li Lei sat in front of the stove and did not hear any sound for a long time. He was a little worried and quickly added some firewood to the stove. It was enough to burn for a period of time before he got up and entered the house.
After entering the house, he saw Meng Xiaoning crying with the quilt in her arms.
The silent tears made people feel sorry for her.
He quickly sat on the heated brick bed and reached out to hug her. “What are you doing? Your plainly want to make my heart ache, aren’t you”
His rough hands carefully wiped Meng Xiaoning’s tears.
Meng Xiaoning’s delicate face turned red after a few strokes.
Li Lei was at a loss as he watched.
“A nice wedding was ruined by her. I think she either hates you, likes you, or sincerely doesn’t want you to marry me!” Meng Xiaoning sobbed.
Hearing Meng Xiaoning’s words, Li Lei couldn’t help but laugh.
Was this jealousy? No matter how stupid he was, he could hear the sourness in Meng Xiaoning’s words.
“You still can laugh?” Meng Xiaoning looked at Li Lei and asked incredulously.
“I don’t care what she thinks. In my Heart, I’ve already moved on from that page with her. From now on, you’re the only one left in my heart and my eyes!”
Li Lei finally said something romantic, and he was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
“What? That night1? The two of you… ” Meng Xiaoning misunderstood. She looked at Li Lei in astonishment.
She thought that although Li Lei and Liang Yufang had engaged for three years, and Li Lei had spent most of those three years in the army. The two of them should not have spent much time together.
But now, Li Lei was actually talking about that night?
When Meng Xiaoning thought of this, she cried even harder.
She was still clean and innocent, but Li Lei was already…
Seeing Meng Xiaoning Cry, Li Lei was stunned.
Did he say something wrong? Didn’t Xiao Yong say that women liked to listen to love words and want him to say a few more of them? Why did she cry more and more?
He hugged Meng Xiaoning helplessly. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was my fault. Don’t cry…”
“Get away, don’t touch me with your dirty hands!” Meng Xiaoning reached out to push his hand away.
“I’m going to wash them now.” Li Lei heard this and quickly got up and walked outside.
He had just finished burning the fire and indeed did not wash his hands.
He fetched cold water from the water tank. He was not afraid of the cold and directly washed them with cold water. Then, with a body full of coldness, he returned to the house.
There was already some heat in the house.
As soon as he entered the house, the cold and heat alternated, and Li Lei could not help but shiver.
Meng Xiaoning felt wronged, but when she saw Li Lei’s expression, her heart ached.
She silently pushed the quilt in her hand in front of Li Lei.
Seeing this, Li Lei pursed his lips and smiled.
He took off his shoes, got on the heated brick bed, and gently laid the quilt on the head of the bed.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go install a burner. The room won’t be so cold anymore,” Li Lei said in a low voice.
After installing the burner, the pipe will be too ugly to walk through the room. Liu Guihua felt that the wedding room wasn’t pretty, so she didn’t ask Li Lei to install it in advance.
Now that the wedding was over, he would go install it tomorrow.
How could looking pretty become more important than being warm!
“You and Liang Yufang, when did you… that…” After holding back for a long time, Meng Xiaoning couldn’t help but ask with a sob.
This sentence completely confused Li Lei.
“What do you mean when? Which one?”
“You’re still pretending? That one!” Meng Xiaoning raised her eyebrows and raised her voice when she saw Li lei pretending not to understand.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t even kissed her on the mouth. When did that happen?” Li Lei reacted quickly when he saw Meng Xiaoning stuttering.
