However, Old Mistress Cao was worried about the family's decision to go to such a faraway place.

However, there were a lot of things that could not be said in front of these two strangers. Mother Cao stood up and said to her daughter, "Xiao Lian, come with me."

As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door and turned to her daughter.

"Xiao Lian, what do you think?"

This daughter of his always had an idea. Since he couldn't make a decision, he might as well see what she's up to.

"Mom, I feel that I'm not particularly needed in this factory. Plus, I want to learn more. "

With such a clear explanation, what else could Mother Cao not understand?

Well, if her daughter didn't want to go, of course she would reconsider. However, it was obvious that her daughter wanted to go to school, and she also had deep feelings for this Li Yigeng.

"Xiao Lian, tell mom honestly, do you like this Little Li very much?"

"Mom."

Cao Xiaolian thought she would ask, but what was she supposed to say?

Perhaps she had a good impression of Li YuGeng, or perhaps she had a little liking for him, but no one knew how long that feeling would last.

However, this thought would definitely not be understood in this era. If she were to say it out loud, Mother Cao would probably beat her up first.

"Mom, most of the reason I want to go to the capital is because of me. It's just that Li Yugeng is there too. He said he would help me contact the school. But he is definitely not the only factor. "

Mother Cao saw the firmness in her eyes and knew that her daughter always had an idea. She heaved a sigh of relief.

"Actually, what I meant was that it would be better for you to leave for a period of time. After all, in a small place like ours, you should know that if you cause any trouble, you would be dragged out and talked for a long time after the meal. "Moreover, if you go to the capital and study for a few years in peace, this matter will definitely be washed away when you graduate."

Mother Cao still felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't bear to let her child suffer any grievances.

"Mom." Cao Xiaolan saw the sadness on her mother's face and tried to comfort her, "Actually, this might not be a bad thing for me. It just so happens that we can move our entire family to the capital, which is an international metropolis, and there will be more opportunities in the future. "

Her daughter had potential and ambition. She was very pleased, but it was just that.

"Xiao Lian, the reason Mom called you in was to tell you about this."

"Mom is old and can't be bothered anymore. I'm used to living in this place now and it's not bad staying with neighbors. Your Aunt Tian's family has also moved to town. If there's nothing else, we can still chat."

"But Mom." Cao Xiaolian was worried. She had been working hard for the sake of being with her family. She wanted to live a good life. But now, her mother wanted to stay. How could she not be worried?

"Mom knows." Mother Cao kindly patted her daughter's hand. "My daughter wants mother to marry and enjoy life with you, but Xiao Lian, after you go, you need to study. After reading for many years, mother will spend a little more, so mother doesn't want you to be distracted by earning money every day."

"Besides, when a person gets old, he just wants to have a companion. If anyone can talk, he can go for a walk. I'm not familiar with the other side, and I'm used to living here, so I can't be bothered to change. "

Mother Cao might look weak and weak, but her heart was firm and she had her own ideas. Seeing that she had made up her mind, Cao Xiaolian felt both sad and remorseful. She could not help but cry as she hugged her.

Mother Cao patted her back and comforted her, "I am Zhen Qi boy, trying to get us to separate by showing up like this. However, firstly, he did not do it on purpose. Secondly, this brat was extremely arrogant before, yet he was willing to kneel for you today.

The kneeling of Li Ygeng was still a huge blow to Mother Cao's heart. This was also why she was able to loosen her tone.

If she still acted as if nothing had happened, Mother Cao would have already chased her out with a mop.

Li YuGeng was waiting outside to scratch his ears and face, but Grandpa Li was still looking at him with a questioning look. He could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and keep a cool face as he spoke to Mister Li.

"This kid, Tsinghua University is a good place." Grandpa Li smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellowing teeth. "Your school definitely has a lot of outstanding talents. How did you fall for our Xiao Lian?"

These words sounded a bit like a test.

Li YuGeng said humbly, "In my heart, Xiao Lian is the best."

Master Li laughed loudly, his voice was loud like a bell. "As expected of the top student, ah, you have eyes. Let me tell you, our Xiao Lian really has nothing to say." "Look at how young you are, how beautiful and filial you are, and how well you've managed the factory."

As he said this, he didn't forget to raise his big thumb.

Looking at his smiling face, it was as if he was really his own child and was proud of it.

Li YuGeng answered honestly, "Xiao Lian is indeed outstanding. Even a lot of people older than her might not have the courage and vision to do so."

"En, no matter how your aunt looks at you later, I just think highly of you." Grandpa Li lowered his voice and said with a smile, "It means you have to treat us well. If anything goes wrong, I don't care whether you are a top student at Tsinghua University or not. This fist is also inhumane."

Grandpa Li clenched his right hand and shook his fist as if he was showing off.

Li YuGeng smiled and promised, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Just as he finished talking, he saw Cao Xiaolian and Old Lady Cao coming out of the room one after another.

The rims of Cao Xiaolian's eyes were very clear. Li Yugeng's heart ached all of a sudden.

"The two of you are whispering to each other?"

Recently, Grandpa Li had been coming over frequently. He was a young widower, yet he was dragging his two daughters along by himself. He was a widower in his late years and had no children. Thus, he was rather chatty and talked like he was his own family.

"What whisper? Just a few words of advice. I'm afraid that if she goes to the capital and doesn't show her eyes, she'll definitely suffer a huge loss."

Hearing his mother's words, Li Yugeng was ecstatic. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I will take good care of Xiao Lian."

Grandpa Li was also knocking on the drum beside her. "That's right. I can see that this kid isn't bad. Don't worry, mother Xiao Lian."

Mother Cao stared at him in curiosity, "You know that again. I'm just afraid that nothing else will happen and that enemy of mine has come again. My daughter can't help it."

Li YuGeng had a serious look on his face as he said seriously, "Auntie, I promise you this is the first time. This is definitely the last. No one will ever bully Xiao Lian again."

With this assurance, Mother Cao's heart was at ease. She said to the two of them, "You two take a seat. I will go downstairs to buy some food."

"Xiao Lian, come with me."

After all, there was a difference between males and females, and there was no marriage. It was truly unjustifiable for a man and woman to be together alone.

Li Yugeng was stunned. He thought of sitting with this old man who liked to beat the crap out of him, so he decided to buy some food with Cao Xiaoling. He stood up immediately and said, "Auntie, let me go with you. I'm strong enough to carry vegetables."

Mother Cao saw that he was diligent, so she felt a little awkward. She did not say anything, which was equivalent to tacit approval.

The market for buying vegetables was about five minutes away from home. It was already very close. At first, Mother Cao and Cao Xiaolan were walking in front while Li Yugeng was carrying a basket at the back. Later, when Mother Cao started shopping, it became Cao Xiaolan and Li Yugeng standing together at the back.

"What did Auntie say to you in the house?"

Li Yugeng's voice was not loud, and with the noise from the surroundings, he was very close. The breath that came from his mouth was in her ear, tickling her.

Cao Xiaolian turned her head awkwardly, "I'm not telling you."

When Li Yugeng saw the redness at the base of his ears, he resisted the urge to kiss it and forced his eyes to move to the spring onion in front of him.

"Let's buy some spring onion." After Li Yugeng finished speaking, the other Gods who were selling the dishes laughed, "This is leek. This young man, the leek and the leek can't even recognize him."

This time, it was his turn to blush.

After buying some vegetables, he returned home. Grandpa Li had already tidied up the house. Mother Cao didn't say anything further and went to boil some artemisia selengensis water.

"Take this to your body."

This was the custom of his hometown, Artemisia selengensis was to remove the evil aura.

Cao Xiaolian carried it to the bathroom, and when she came out again, the aroma of food was already wafting in the air.

She took the towel into the kitchen. Cao Ma was still cooking, but when she saw her enter, she quickly chased her away. "Smoke is big, quickly go out. After a while, you'll be smeared with the smell of smoke."

Cao Xiaolian wanted to help, but her mother refused. She had no choice but to come out and wait for Li Yugeng.

She intentionally sat further away from Li Yugeng, but the faint smell of artemisia could still be smelled from her body.

His gaze unconsciously drifted over.

Artemisia selengensis already had the effect of promoting blood flow. Right now, Cao Xiaolian's face was white and rosy, and her exposed arms were pink and tender. She looked like a big peach.

Li YuGeng's throat rolled as he forced himself to look away.

He felt like a person who had walked in the desert for many days. Now that he saw water and couldn't drink it, he felt like he was suffering.

Recalling those red lips, the meaty taste made him even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mrs Cao quickly carried the dishes to the table. As soon as the meal started, she started to talk, leaving him in no mood to think about these things.

After dinner, Cao Xiaolan said she needed to find Chen Lifen and the night school.

Li Ygeng and Old Cao were also a lot more at ease. They thought that if their daughter really wanted to go to school, they could only do a few days' work and could freely arrange things for her.

When the two of them walked out of the door, Li Yugeng's hand caught hers without knowing why.

"What? Let go!" Cao Xiaolian looked around anxiously. Fortunately, it was noon and the weather was hot. There was no one around.

Her hand was thin and soft, but it was not easy to hold her hand. How could she possibly let go?

"It's still noon, it's too hot. Don't get sunstroke. Take your hand and walk with ease, lest you get dizzy and fall down."

A certain someone was speaking nonsense with a serious expression. Even though he had taken advantage of the situation, he was still speaking with a righteous tone. He was truly a scoundrel.

Cao Xiaolian shook him twice, but he was holding him tighter and tighter. In the end, he bared his teeth at Cao Xiaolian, revealing his snow-white teeth. "Give up. No one could beat me before."

Seeing that Cao Xiao had stopped struggling, he gradually loosened his grip and became very gentle.

Both of them held hands. Who would have thought that they would meet again almost half a year ago?

Cao Xiaoling suddenly teased him, "Hey, I still remember the last time you were like a bandit. You rushed up to me and held my hand. Then you ran away and took my foot. It was swollen like a pig's hoof."

It was also because of that time that the distance between the two of them gradually became closer.

Li Yugeng nodded, admitting his mistake. "I shouldn't have pulled you along to run that time. I should have done this to you."

After saying that, she suddenly went up to him. Cao Xiaolan only felt the sky spinning and the earth spinning. Her whole body was lifted into the air.

"Put me down quickly. Someone will see it later." She struggled with all her might, but how could she overdo the muscular man who was taller than her by two heads?

"I'm not letting go!" Li YuGeng looked at her in his arms, both his eyes shining with love and sweetness. "From the very beginning, I wanted to do this."
