Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 59 Rejection
Zhou Weimin walked to the librarian's desk and placed the book he had borrowed earlier on the table.

The librarian is a pretty girl with a ponytail and she just started working last year.

When he saw the person coming, he greeted him familiarly: "Comrade Zhou Weimin, did you finish reading the book you borrowed so quickly this time?"

"Well, I've completed all the tasks at the factory recently, so I have a lot more time to read."

Zhou Weimin smiled slightly. He had been going to the library frequently in the past two months and had already become familiar with this girl.

Well...actually, he is not very familiar with her. After all, he still doesn’t know the girl’s name.

The girl looked up at Zhou Weimin and said softly, "Yes, I have registered the books. They are all within the expiration date, so there is no need to pay."

"Well, that's good. I'll go find a book first."

Zhou Weimin nodded, turned around and walked towards the bookshelf.

This time he came not to borrow books to kill time, but to borrow quotations and poetry selections.

The Chinese New Year marks the 1963rd year, and it is time to read these books. Not only should we read them, but we should also memorize them.

It is useful to remember these while waiting for the wind to pick up.

"Um, Comrade Zhou Weimin, wait a moment."

Just as Zhou Weimin turned to leave, the girl sitting behind the table stood up and called him.

Zhou Weimin turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

This is more than one or two times that he has come to this library to borrow books, so there should be no problem with the process.

"Um, my name is Gu Danyun, nice to meet you."

Gu Danyun introduced himself confidently, but the hands that were tugging at the corner of his clothes under the table had already clenched tightly.

"Nice to meet you."

Zhou Weimin nodded and responded politely without understanding the reason.

He probably knew what the girl meant, but this was too sudden.

Although he often comes to borrow books, the two of them only exchange a few sentences and can basically be considered strangers. Is it so direct in this day and age?

"Well, I'm twenty years old, and I want to ask if you have a boyfriend or not."

Gu Danyun mustered up his courage, but Zhou Weimin's voice was so soft that he could hardly hear it.

From the first time Zhou Weimin came to borrow a book, she felt that he was different from the men she had met before.

After that, she often secretly looked at him when he was looking for a book to read. She didn't know when it started, but she found that she seemed to have fallen in love with him.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and expressed his thoughts.

"I haven't thought about that yet, sorry."

Zhou Weimin shook his head and directly rejected the girl's confession.

If he wants to find someone, he naturally wants to find someone who suits his taste. Unfortunately, this girl is not his type at all.

Zhou Weimin did not stay for long. He borrowed the book and left the library.

He was just a stranger who met by chance, and he would not break his plan because of this.

"Brother?" Just as Zhou Weimin unlocked the car and prepared to leave, his brother's voice came from a distance.

Turning around, I saw four familiar figures.

Zhou Weimin looked at the oil-paper bags in the hands of several people and asked in confusion: "Guards, why are you here?"

Guard Zhou put the things in his hand into the back basket, then smiled and asked, "Let's go out and buy some New Year's goods together. Since we've come this far, I wanted to borrow two books to read during the New Year."

"Brother, is there another mission at the factory?"

"I came out to buy some things for someone, and I came to borrow two books on the way. Are you guys buying New Year's goods?"

Zhou Weimin looked at the large and small packages in the basket, the oil paper bags in his sister and He Yushui's hands, and Lou Xiao'e who had nothing in her hands, and could not help but give his brother a questioning look.

"We have nothing to do in the courtyard, so we came out for a walk and bought some things. These were bought by Xiao'e."

Guard Zhou shook his head helplessly. How could he know that Lou Xiao'e brought so much money with her? She bought whatever she liked. He had never seen her buy so many things in one trip.

"It's nice to go out for a walk. I just need to go back to the yard. Give me all the things. You can get them from my room when you go back."

Hearing that they were all bought by Lou Xiaoe, Zhou Weimin was not surprised. He smiled and took the things from He Yushui and Wei Hong, said hello, and left.

Weibing Zhou felt that his elder brother left in a hurry today, but he didn't think much about it. He turned around and walked into the library.

After Guard Zhou left, He Yushui pulled Wei Hong's arm and whispered, "Wei Hong, it would be great if my brother could be like Brother Wei Min."

"Oh, Yu Shui, you don't know, my brother is very strict and doesn't tell us about the affairs of the court. If my second brother hadn't been about to start work, he would have gone to the Central Court yesterday..."

Zhou Weihong realized something was wrong and stopped immediately, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yushui."

"It's okay. I've let it go. Once I have a stable job, I'll find someone to marry. Whatever he does in the future has nothing to do with me."

He Yushui bit her lip and said, it was impossible to say that she wasn't sad, but what happened yesterday really hurt her, and she really didn't want to care about this brother anymore.

But she also remembered how hard it was for her silly brother to raise her to this age, and she didn't want to cause something like a split in the family. After thinking about it all night, she decided that getting married quickly was the best solution she could think of.

Lou Xiao'e agreed, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Hey, what Sha Zhu did yesterday was really too much. I really don't know what he was thinking. Yu Shui, you can't rush into marrying yourself just to be angry with Sha Zhu. You have to live your life on your own in the future."

"Sister Xiao'e, I won't. Marriage is a lifelong thing, I will definitely see it through."

He Yushui smiled slightly, but her heart felt even more bitter.

She doesn't even care about her as much as her neighbor Sister Xiao'e. When she saw her today, she didn't even say a word of apology.

Zhou Weihong didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Yushui, do you have any good classmates? Can you introduce them to me, my brother?"

When my eldest brother first started working at the steel rolling mill, many matchmakers came to propose marriage to him, but at that time he said he wanted to settle down first, so he didn't agree.

Not long after that, her parents died. From that time on, no matchmaker came to their house. As her younger sister, she was very anxious when she saw it.

If her classmates were not yet of age, she would have wanted to introduce her classmates to her elder brother.

He Yushui was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Ah, then I'll take a look. When I finish my work next year, I'll help Brother Wei Min speak."

"Wei Hong, I'll ask around for you too. Wei Min is so good, who knows how many girls would want to marry him."

Lou Xiao'e added happily. She sincerely felt so. After all, Zhou Weimin's conditions were really good.
