Chapter 218 Great Change
Xu Qingqing, who had not been seen for a long time, looked very bad. Compared to when Li Luo first saw her, she looked nearly ten years older.
"Xu Qingqing? I didn't expect that you would come to see me again." Li Luo stood up and put the information on the small stool.
"Are you reading?" Xu Qingqing ignored Li Luo's teasing, but showed great interest in the information Li Luo placed on the bench: "It seems that you still haven't given up the idea of going to college."
"I won't give up. After I pass the college entrance exam, I can continue my studies. I can keep learning until I die."
"Teacher Lu came to see me yesterday and told me that you wrote him a letter of recommendation for me to be a teacher at the school." Xu Qingqing retracted her gaze. This was the real reason why she came to see Li Luo today.
"I did write the recommendation letter, and I also think that you do have the ability. You are an educated youth, and you graduated from a normal secondary school. It would be a pity if you didn't become a teacher." Li Shishi said honestly.
"But I hurt you so much before, why are you helping me?" Xu Qingqing didn't understand the situation. She and Li Luo were at loggerheads in the beginning, largely because she was jealous of Li Luo's good fortune.
Coupled with Li Luo's speech, everything she had done to educate Zhang Ning was crushed into dust. Compared to her, Li Luo was more suitable to be a teacher.
"I'm not trying to help you. I'm thinking about the hope of our motherland in these mountains. Although there are some grievances between us, we can still be considered as friends who have known each other for a long time.
You have the ability to help these flowers of the motherland grow wings, and Teacher Lu happened to ask me to recommend a candidate, so I naturally thought of you." Li Luo's eyes were open, and there was no need to lie.
Xu Qingqing was speechless for a moment. She originally came to Li Luo to question him whether Li Luo had given her the job that originally belonged to him in order to humiliate her. She didn't expect Li Luo to have such an idea.
It seems that I am judging others by my own mean character.
"Some time ago, Zhang Ning's father and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. He even refused to marry Zhang Ning. He said that he would give us some living expenses every month as a gift to us mother and son."
"I never thought that after living together for nearly eight years, they would end up like this." Xu Qingqing sneered, not knowing whether it was because of her own sad fate or her disdain for Zhang Debiao.
"Before Teacher Lu came to see me, I was a little discouraged. I didn't know what to do with Zhang Ning. In this world, divorced women don't have any chance to survive, not to mention that she has a child with her."
"All my efforts over the years have been poured into Zhang Ning. I don't ask Zhang Ning to understand me much, but at least he can't hate me."
"But because of my relationship with Zhang Debiao, Zhang Ning almost failed to go to school. In the final analysis, it was my failure as a human being..."
Li Luo listened to Xu Qingqing talking about her experiences incessantly, and thought that Xu Qingqing must not have mentioned these to anyone else for a long time, and no one would even listen to the confession of a desperate mother.
So Li Luo just listened quietly until the end, when Xu Qingqing raised her head: "After all, I still have to say thank you."
"You don't have to thank me. If you really decide to be a teacher in a school, you should thank your past self. If it weren't for your hard-working and motivated self, you wouldn't have the opportunity to teach in a school now."
"If I remember correctly, you should be 25 this year, and this is your last year to prepare for the college entrance examination." Li Luo looked into Xu Qingqing's eyes and said seriously.
Xu Qingqing suddenly raised her head and met Li Luo's sincere eyes: "Yes, the last year."
In fact, Xu Qingqing was not sure either. She always had excuses before, saying that she had to take care of Zhang Ning. As for the college entrance examination, her main concern was participation.
But ever since Li Luo appeared in front of her and vowed that he would take the college entrance examination, Xu Qingqing suddenly began to have the desire to compete with him. A young man who was so arrogant that he said he could pass the exam? She was not much worse than Li Luo, so she naturally wanted to compete for the college entrance examination.
"Then wish us all the best." Li Luo stretched out his hand and looked at Xu Qingqing intently.
Xu Qingqing was stunned. What was Li Luo doing... But seeing Li Luo's sincere eyes, Xu Qingqing suddenly laughed: "I wish us all the best in entering the venue."
Then Xu Qingqing looked around the clothing store and said, "The style of this clothing store is something I haven't seen anywhere else. The size classification is more clear, and there are even styles designed by themselves."
"The proprietress of this store must be a very spiritual girl."
Li Luo sat on the small stool again, picked up his book, and silently accepted Xu Qingqing's praise.
Xu Qingqing turned around and saw Li Luo's calm look. She thought Li Luo only knew how to study and knew nothing about fashion design, so she didn't say anything more.
"These two pieces of clothing are quite nice, can you let me try them on?"
Li Luo raised his eyes and said, "These two clothes are tight at the waist and shoulders, which are not suitable for your current figure. Here are some slightly slimmer clothes and suit pants, which may meet your requirements."
As he spoke, Li Luo handed Xu Qingqing a beige shirt with a bow tie and a pair of brown suit pants. Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then took the clothes from Li Luo's hand and tried them on herself twice.
Sure enough, the clothes chosen by Li Luo were more suitable for her waist, which had gained more fat after she became pregnant, and her armpits, which were gradually getting thicker.
Now, Xu Qingqing no longer doubted Li Luo's professionalism, and she blushed for having looked down on Li Luo.
When Xu Qingqing changed into her clothes, she looked like a completely different person, more elegant and capable.
It's just that the low ponytail doesn't match her clothes very well.
Li Luo just stood aside and thought for a while, then he let Xu Qingqing's hair loose, and then half-tied her hair into a bun, and then tidied up the hair stuck on her neck and tidied up her bangs.
In an instant, the whole person's appearance was completely changed.
"This...is this still me?" Xu Qingqing couldn't believe that under Li Luo's skillful hands, she could still be so charming. When she walked out of the door, anyone would think she looked like a teacher.
Her hair was already long and she took good care of it on a daily basis, so Li Luo could manage it well using just her fingers as a comb.
"You can dress like this from now on, and you won't go wrong." Li Luo praised sincerely.
"Thank...thank you." After coming to see Li Luo today, Xu Qingqing felt that all her previous cognitions were overturned.
Before, I wondered how Li Luo could be so charismatic that he could win over Ling Zhuoqun, the richest man famous in the surrounding villages.
Now it seems that Ling Zhuoqun is marrying up to the treasure girl Li Luo.
