Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 259: World of Ages 11: New Year

Zuo Zhizhi and Gu Jiqing decided on the place where they would work. After the other party started working, Zuo Zhizhi would have to go and ask the other party out.

Although it is impossible to go there every day, it is okay to go there occasionally to see each other.

Zuo Zhizhi noted the location of the machinery factory and decided to go there and take a look later.

If the distance is not too far, the difficulty of meeting is greatly reduced.

But if it is really not possible, then the number of times we meet will have to be greatly reduced.

The two of them could only change their date to the weekend.

The next period of time was uneventful, and everyone had their own things to do.

Zuo Zhizhi looked around the house and found that everyone had basically calmed down. Apart from occasionally asking about the situation at her boyfriend's home, there were basically no major problems.

As for my classmates, they are now focused on finding a job as soon as possible and have not thought about anything else.

Time flies and it's Chinese New Year, but the Zuo family has a boring New Year.

Not to mention that the family's original conditions were not very good. The betrothal gift that Zuo Aiguo's girlfriend asked for was enough to severely damage the family's vitality.

Originally, Zuo Zhizhi could ask for a dowry when she got married, but unfortunately she hasn't graduated yet, so she can only postpone the time indefinitely.

The most important thing is that although we have salary for our family of three, there are more things to do at home, so we have no time to spend here.

There were no dishes on the table during the Chinese New Year, and it was no different from usual. Except for the only meat dish that had a little more meat slices, everything else was no different from usual.

Zuo Zhizhi said nothing, picked up her bowl, and pretended not to see it.

Even if she didn't know how much money the family had, it was definitely not to this extent. Regardless of anything else, she could definitely have a good New Year.

But the way they are now clearly trying to put pressure on themselves.

Zuo Aiguo, in particular, began to sigh at the dinner table: "Alas!"

Apart from this sentence, there was nothing else to say. Everyone looked at each other, especially Xie Hehua, who was just waiting for Zuo Zhizhi to speak.

But Zuo Zhizhi didn't buy it at all. She pretended that the incident didn't exist and just ate her meal.

Finally, she couldn't help but speak: "Aiguo, what's wrong with you? It's New Year's Day, don't sigh here!"

"I have no choice," Zuo Aiguo said hurriedly when someone picked up the conversation. "Duoduo has had a hard life at home. Now there's no place for her in the family. If she doesn't get married soon, who knows what kind of torture she'll have to endure!"

These words were obviously meant for Zuo Zhizhi. After all, everyone knew that only after Zuo Zhizhi got married would there be a vacant position for her to get married.

But Zuo Zhizhi didn't say a word, as if this matter didn't exist.

Although Zuo Aiguo said it several times, as long as no one was named, he had no other choice.

As for the other people in the family, they also understood some things after such a long time, but they kept silent.

As the head of the family, Zuo An is accustomed to silence. Although he makes decisions on major issues, he does not get involved in such small matters.

On the surface, he is a parent who treats his children equally, but in reality, all major issues depend on his decision.

It's just a small matter like this, so naturally he doesn't need to get involved.

As for Zuo Aijun and Zuo Hongxia, even though they didn't know what their eldest brother meant at first, they finally understood after such a long time.

But neither of them had any intention of participating.

Although they are both only 12 years old now, they naturally know that if there is one more person in the family, the rest of the people will have to squeeze together.

Especially after Zuo Zhizhi got married, there was only a little girl named Zuo Hongxia left in the family. It was good enough to give her a bed, and it was naturally impossible for her to have her own room like she does now.

You have to know that she and Zuo Zhizhi are now squeezed into one room. Although the room is not big, both of them have their own independent space.

But after Zuo Aiguo got married, their room would definitely have to be vacated. Even if he could get some of it for himself, it would definitely not be as spacious as before.

This is even more true for Zuo Aijun. He originally lived with his eldest brother. Although it was not convenient, at least he had his own place. But if it becomes crowded again in the future, it will be hard to say what will happen next.

The most important thing is that there will be a new sister-in-law in the family, and there may be more nephews and nieces, and then there will be no place for them in the family.

Therefore, they both applauded their eldest brother's decision to get married later.

Zuo Aiguo emphasized it several times, but Zuo Zhizhi didn't respond. Most importantly, she hadn't graduated yet, so the matter had to be put on hold.

After finishing the tasteless New Year's Eve dinner, Zuo Zhizhi hurried back to her room.

The previous homework has been completed long ago, and now I close my eyes and take the time to rest.

There is nothing fun to do at home, so it’s a good opportunity to take advantage of the New Year holiday and go out.

Anyway, it's definitely better than being at home.

After visiting all the relatives, Zuo Zhizhi went ice skating at Houhai with the friends she had made an appointment with.

This is one of the few times of rest and entertainment in a year.

This time, it was not only Gu Jiqing who came out, but also their good friends.

After all, we are all in the same class, so it is natural that we will go out together.

Ice skates are not cheap, so everyone has to pay to rent a pair.

Although Zuo Zhizhi had it, she couldn't show it openly at this time, so she could only put on several layers of socks and wear them inside her shoes.

This is their most common form of entertainment in winter, and almost everyone knows how to do it.

Zuo Zhizhi knew nothing about ice skating before, but after experiencing the extremely cold apocalypse, she realized that skating was the fastest way to travel, so she naturally learned it.

What's more, there are so many people here that the speed is not fast. Find a few people to lead you around twice. Even if you can't slide, you can walk slowly on it.

You have to know that winter in the north is very cold. Once it snows, if a few people step on the snow and compact it, you will slip if you are not careful.

After Zuo Zhizhi got familiar with it for a while, she was able to skate on the ice smoothly. However, there were too many people around her, so she didn't have the courage to skate fast.

Instead, Liu Lili next to her saw Zuo Zhizhi running slowly forward and pushed her aside in frustration.

He lost control of his feet and slid forward quickly. Although he tried his best to steady himself, he accidentally fell on Gu Jiqing.

After finally calming herself down, Zuo Zhizhi turned her head and glared at Liu Lili fiercely. She made a face and left quickly.

Zuo Zhizhi could only catch up with him as fast as she could. The two of them were on the ice, taking turns to retreat, until they rolled into a ball and finally stopped.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, it's all my fault!"
