Chapter 311 How about we pretend to be a couple?
Xu Yu and his family live upstairs, and Xu Jianping lives downstairs.
After sending Xiao Tang and the others away and everyone washed up, Xu Jianping lay on the bed still thinking about what Tang Xueyan had just said.
He had just found an opportunity to talk to his sister about this, but he felt a little annoyed.
I was so irritable that I couldn't sleep at all.
He really couldn't understand why Xiao Tang's second brother's girlfriend would make such an unreasonable request.
In particular, Xiao Tang’s parents and younger brother’s attitudes were incomprehensible to him.
If he found a partner before his sister, and the partner dared to say such things, he would definitely break up with her without saying a word.
What kind of person is this? The Tang family is obviously Xiao Tang's home. What qualifications does a lesbian who has not yet married into the family have to make such a request!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Xu Jianping was so eager to help Xiao Tang beat up her second brother.
Is a man who doesn't even care about his own sister still a man?
The next day, Xu Jianping got up when he heard the noise.
Before dawn, Jiang Yi got up for morning exercises.
He boxed with him for a while, and then they went outside for a run together.
As he was running, he said to Jiang Yi, "I'm running over there to see if there's any buns for sale. If there are any, I'll buy some and we won't have to make breakfast."
Jiang Yi only ran to remote places and would definitely not run to the busy streets with him. He nodded and ran away.
The direction Xu Jianping was running happened to pass by the street where Xiao Tang lived. He went to see if there were any other busy streets selling breakfast. He calculated when Xiao Tang would go to see his sister, and ran back after carrying a big bag of steamed buns he had bought.
Sure enough, at this time Xiao Tang just came out of the street where their home was.
"Xiao Tang."
When Xiao Tang heard the familiar voice, he immediately stopped and turned to look. Seeing Xu Jianping running over with a large bag of steamed buns, he immediately asked with a smile, "Xu Jianping, why are you here so early?"
"Jiang Yi and I went out for a run together. After the run, I went to the place you told me about and bought some steamed buns."
While Xu Jianping was talking, he and her slowly walked towards Xu Yu's house.
Xiao Tang smiled and nodded.
Xu Jianping asked her, "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"Why are you eating so early?"
"I want to go see Tang Tang Guo early, otherwise I have to go to work soon."
It was actually still early, but there were already a lot of people on the street.
In the morning, people from the countryside come to sell vegetables and set them up directly on the side of the street. People living here will stop and buy some.
Xu Jianping didn't know how to bring up her story, so she looked at the middle-aged women and elderly people wearing headscarves selling vegetables and said, "I didn't expect there would be so many people selling and buying vegetables in the county town this morning."
"Well, the county has been less strict since the beginning of the year. Farmers near the county just happen to grow some vegetables and sell them in the morning, which can help supplement their family income."
"That's good."
"Ah."
Having said this, they both fell silent.
After a while, Xu Jianping saw that there were fewer people on the road. He looked at Xiao Tang again and called her, "Xiao Tang."
Xiao Tang tilted his head and looked back at her, his eyebrows were gentle and his eyes were filled with doubt.
Xu Jianping suddenly felt his heartbeat was a little out of control.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to ask.
When Xiao Tang saw his expression, he didn't know what was going on and wanted to laugh.
So she just laughed.
When she smiled, Xu Jianping couldn't help but laugh along with her.
Xiao Tang asked, "Do you have anything to say to me? Do you want me to go out and help you bring something?"
"No."
Xu Jianping was a little annoyed.
When had he given her the impression that he wanted her to bring something?
Suddenly I remembered that I did ask her to help bring some things last year, but they were also bought for my nephew and niece!
As they were about to reach the street where his sister lived, Xu Jianping felt a little anxious and asked directly, "Are your family urging you to go on blind dates again?"
Xiao Tang looked at him in surprise, with an unknown emotion flashing in his eyes, and he stopped talking.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Jianping asked again, "Is it that the lesbian your second brother is seeing wants you to get married first before she's willing to marry your brother?"
Xiao Tang was confused for a moment, then guessed that it must have been his sister who told him this, but she still looked at him without saying anything.
Xu Jianping didn't know what was going on, and suddenly he became anxious: "Aren't you going to work with your uncle to make the furniture factory bigger and stronger? If you find someone to marry now, what if that person doesn't let you go on a business trip later?"
Xiao Tang suddenly lowered his eyes, and after several seconds he said slowly, "But if I don't find someone to marry, my brother's partner won't marry him."
"Then talk to Director Wu. Director Wu will definitely speak up for you."
"Even if I'm your uncle, I can't interfere too much in this matter. My brother has a crush on that lesbian and really wants to marry her."
Xu Jianping unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.
He wanted to beat up Xiao Tang's younger brother even more.
How could there be someone who would disregard his own sister like this!
He controlled his anger and asked again, "Do you want to get married?"
Xiao Tang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him.
This glance made Xu Jianping feel as if his heart was being tugged at by someone.
Xiao Tang turned her eyes away and answered him: "I am the elder sister. I can't ignore my brother's happiness."
"And your happiness?"
Xiao Tang lowered his eyelids again and spoke softly, so softly that if Xu Jianping hadn't listened carefully, he might not have heard it: "It's not important."
Xu Jianping felt like something exploded in his brain.
How is it not important?!
He stared at Xiao Tang, throwing away his rationality and quickly telling her the idea he had been thinking about all night last night: "Xiao Tang, if you don't mind that I'm a pig farmer in the countryside, and you don't worry that the other person will mind when you find someone you really like in the future, how about we pretend to be a couple?"
When he said these words, he himself didn't even realize how tightly he was holding the oil paper bag containing the buns.
It was so tight that the fingers turned white and were still trembling slightly.
Xiao Tang looked at him suddenly.
There was astonishment, disbelief and shock in his eyes.
It took him a long while to find his voice and he said, "You..."
She suddenly forgot what she was going to say next.
Her mind was in a mess and her heart was beating wildly.
Xu Jianping looked at her reaction, thinking that she was unwilling, and ignoring the disappointment in his heart, he looked away and said, "I'm just kidding, don't..." take it seriously.
Xiao Tang interrupted his last two words: "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to raise pigs with? If you and I were to... pretend, would anyone believe it?"
Xu Jianping didn't expect that Xiao Tang cared about this, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, grinning and said:
"You know I said these things to discourage those lesbians who want to date me. If I really wanted to find a partner, I wouldn't let her follow me to raise and sell pigs."
Then he added, "I know you don't want to get married right now, and I don't want to get married either. If we pretend to be a couple, we can not only deal with the elders at home, but also deal with people who like us. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
As if afraid that Xiao Tang would not agree, he continued to talk about the advantages of pretending to be a couple: "If we pretend to be a couple, no one will tell us what to do, and we won't have to worry about the other person getting angry and arguing because they can't accompany us."
Xiao Tang looked at him with such a calm gaze that Xu Jianping felt uneasy.
He didn't know why he was so unsure.
Obviously, if she didn't agree to this, they could just pretend nothing had happened.
But the thought of her really not agreeing made him feel upset.
Xiao Tang looked at Xu Jianping for a long moment before asking, "What if our family urges us to get married soon? My brother is getting discharged from the army this September, and they want to get married this year. We can pretend to be a couple, but we can't just fake a marriage."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes again.
Only her fluttering eyelashes betrayed her current mood.
Xu Jianping opened his mouth and suddenly got stuck.
