Chapter 44: Return to the City
Li Xu successfully persuaded Xia Xiaohe, and the last reason for his family to stay in Xieyang Township was gone. After delaying for another day, they set off to return.

There are naturally still many things to do in the future, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Such a transfer is quite troublesome, but it is not difficult for his father. However, some adjustments have been made to the previous plan.

Originally, I had not planned to bring Xia Xiaohe to the city. It was not for any other reason, but simply because I felt that Xia Xiaohe might not be able to keep up with the learning progress in the city, which might be a pain for her.

But then he changed his mind and felt that doing things this way would give him a half-hearted feeling and not be transparent enough. Besides, Xia Xiaomiao might not be able to adapt to being alone in Jinchuan City, and the question of whether Xia Xiaohe could keep up was not that complicated... Jinchuan City doesn't only have good high schools, but also slightly average schools, or ordinary classes in good schools... There is always a level that Xia Xiaohe can keep up with.

My father has already sent someone to handle the formalities, but it will definitely take some time. Also, I heard that the primary school that my father contacted for Xia Xiaomiao is the best middle school in the city, the affiliated primary school of No. 6 Middle School, which is almost the best primary school in the entire Jinchuan City. It is not easy to get into it, and a pre-admission test is required... This arrangement naturally means that my father wants to test whether Xia Xiaomiao is really that smart.

All you have to do next is wait patiently.

But this incident was still a little scary for the two children...When he left, both children ran to say goodbye to him and helped to pack things in the apartment.

There was no longer any reluctance to part… After all, everyone knew that they would be able to reunite in Jinchuan City soon… And after the little girl was truly certain, she calmed down. The words she had used to scare him about getting married no longer had such a strong deterrent effect, and she became anxious and worried… While Li Xu was packing up, she kept nagging him with questions about how to live in the city, how to study, whether the children there were really all smart, whether the teachers would think he was stupid, and so on…

"I...why not go?"

Li Xu was tidying up the books on the shelf at the moment. Annoyed by the questions, he picked up a book and slapped it on Xia Xiaohe's head, saying unhappily, "The kids in the big cities are all little dinosaurs, and the teachers there are all big dinosaurs."

"Hateful..." Xia Xiaohe puffed up his cheeks embarrassedly.

At this moment, something suddenly fell out of the book. Xia Xiaohe's eyes flickered slightly, and her sight followed the falling object to the ground. "This is..."

Li Xu's originally relaxed expression froze when he saw Xia Xiaohe pick up the item on the ground. The next second, his eyes widened and his head began to spin rapidly...

That thing was none other than the iron box of letters that Xia Xiaohe had given him before, the one that was about him.

In order to avoid embarrassing Xia Xiaohe, he secretly hid the letter and pretended that it was not in the iron box. He successfully fooled Xia Xiaohe at the time. Later, he casually put it in a book and forgot about it after a long time. He did not expect it to fall out at this critical moment.

The girl hesitated for a moment before moving awkwardly to the letter. Her hand seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. She hesitated for a long time before reaching out, her fingers pinching the corner of the letter in a slightly stiff posture, as if the letter was burning with heat.

When she picked up the letter, her elbows were uncomfortably clamped against her body, and she leaned forward slightly, trying to cover her already flushed face with her hanging hair. She raised her head slightly, not daring to look at Li Xu at all, her lips trembling, but she didn't know what to say.

"Liar...liar."

After pondering for a long time, the girl made this not-so-lethal accusation in an almost trembling voice. After saying this, she seemed unable to stay here for a moment and slipped out in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Xia Xiaomiao was a little surprised. After watching her sister leave, she thought of the letter on the ground. She looked up at Li Xu curiously, thought carefully, and asked, "Brother Li Xu... did you write a love letter to me?"

Li Xu was silent for a moment, then hit Xia Xiaomiao on the head with the book again.

Then Li Xu sighed, feeling a little troubled, and tapped his head lightly...

What is going on?

……

Li Xu returned to the city, and originally only a few people knew about it. He had no intention of telling his former friends... It may seem a bit excessive to say this, but it is true. Most of his friends are meaningless associations that should be cut off... This is what the bloody reality of his previous life taught him.

But someone called again. Li Xu picked up the phone, took a look, and sighed slightly... He was not a bad person, so it was natural that he would not be completely unable to make real friends. The guy who called now was a real friend.

However, the help he could give me in my previous life was very limited... because this kid was even worse off than me, and his family went bankrupt earlier than me.

The name displayed on the phone was Chen Feiyang, who was also a person who didn't like studying. He had a similar family background to his family. His family was in the hotel business. At that time, they spent a lot of money and took on a lot of debts to renovate the hotel and bought a new hotel. However, a wave of epidemic completely ruined it.

Li Xu picked up the phone: "What?"

"I'm going to go, but you didn't answer the phone. What would you do if you answered the phone? Where are you?"

"I'm in the country."

"Who are you kidding? I saw your car, and you were in it." Li Xu: "..."

"Tell things."

"See you at the usual place, hurry up!"

"Uh……"

Without waiting for Li Xu to refuse, Chen Feiyang hung up the phone.

Old land… …

Li Xu was speechless. Which old place was he talking about?

At this time, Li Xu was still in Lao Liu's car. Lao Liu turned his head and smiled: "Xiao Xu, if you want to go out and play later, go ahead. I think you have been staying in the countryside for several months. It's time to relax."

Li Xu said, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

……

At this time, Li Xu's father was not the only one in his family.

Tang Rui brought a can of tea to Li Yuqian. The two drank tea and chatted casually. Tang Rui intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to their children. Li Yuqian tried to change the subject several times, but was inexplicably pulled back. Feeling a little strange, he casually asked, "You always ask about my son's situation. What's the matter? Do you want your daughter to marry my son?"

Tang Rui laughed heartily: "It's not impossible."

If that was the case, Li Xu and Tang Rui would not have thought in that direction before. Of course, they couldn't say they hated him... He knew Li Yuqian very well, and he had seen Li Xu many times during his growing up years. Let's not talk about whether he was capable or not, after all, he was still young and nothing could be seen, but at least his character was fine.

It's good enough that he has good character and doesn't mess around outside. As for ability and so on, it's not that important... His father is in his prime and has a calm personality. It's unlikely that his legacy will be in trouble. It's not a bad thing for the two children to get together... It's not easy to find a partner in their circle, and of course, they won't discuss this matter seriously... If his daughter finds out, she will definitely scold him.

Li Yuqian didn't comment, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Then your daughter has suffered a great loss."

"How can you talk about your son like that?"

"Ha ha……"

"But seriously, my daughter doesn't have many friends back home, and she hasn't officially started school yet. How about having her join your son's class when the time comes?"

"what ever."

"Your son will be back soon, right? So, let your son take my daughter to familiarize herself with Jinchuan City."

Li Yuqian did not express his opinion, but just said ambiguously: "You are worrying about nothing..."

Tang Rui didn't care. He took out his cell phone and called his daughter. After the call was connected, he talked about the matter directly.

"No need... I know it myself. I'm going to learn about this city... And what's there to learn about? Aren't they all the same..."

"Uh... I was originally saying that I'd tell your Uncle Li to let his son take you there."

"His son... Li Xu? That's fine."

Tang Rui was a little surprised. "Okay, where are you now? Take a taxi to Uncle Li's house..."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Rui suddenly realized something and his expression froze. Something was wrong. He was originally refusing, but why did he agree so readily when he heard it was Li Xu?
Before Tang Rui could wrap his head around it, Li Yuqian was beside him, saying slowly, "You made the decision for your daughter without my permission, but I didn't tell my son about it. If he doesn't agree, I'll see how you end up."

Tang Rui was shocked: "What do you mean? Will Li Xu refuse?"

Li Yuqian crossed his legs and said, "I don't know anything."
