Wang Jianguo thought for a moment, realizing he too was becoming somewhat anxious.
They had just made their relationship official, and here he was talking about meeting the parents; no wonder Comrade Zhao had refused him.
"Alright, once our relationship is more stable, you can bring me to meet them."
Zhao Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief, worried he might insist on meeting the parents or something.
They had just made their relationship official.
Now that they were dating, if they were willing to take the next step, they could move on to meeting each other’s parents.
Wang Jianguo looked at his newfound significant other, a broad smile on his face, "Comrade Zhao, shall I pick you up tomorrow morning?"
Zhao Xinxin quickly refused, "No need, I’ll go to work with Xiao Yun Er and the others."
He didn’t even know where her house was.
It would be too much trouble to specifically come and pick her up for work.
To take her home was already the best.
"Do you have any leave?"
Wang Jianguo was thinking about his vacation time, planning to possibly swap shifts with other colleagues.
"I have leave, four days off each month. We rotate, with the factory having a day off when we don’t, but we can swap rest days any other time. Many of my colleagues take their leave together."
Zhao Tianlei also granted them four days off a month.
Wang Jianguo heard how their leave was scheduled.
"When do you take your days off?"
The Public Security, although they had leave, sometimes got so busy that they didn’t really get any time off.
"We have one day off every weekend."
Wang Jianguo then brought up the subject of dates, "Then I’ll take you to the movies."
Zhao Xinxin had been to the movies before.
She had gone with her sister-in-law.
But she had never gone with a male comrade.
In the past, before marrying her ex-husband, they had never gone to the county town to watch a movie.
It sounded like dating involved watching movies, shopping, eating out, and even going boating.
Things her sister-in-law and Third Brother did on dates.
"Just drop me off here!"
Wang Jianguo hesitated for a moment, "Comrade Zhao, I’d like to walk you to your doorstep, and also get to know the way."
This request left Zhao Xinxin at a loss for how to refuse.
After all, they were dating now, and such a small request was reasonable.
This time, Wang Jianguo walked Zhao Xinxin to the Courtyard House’s entrance, allowing him to know where she lived.
"Okay, then I’ll take my leave first."
The knock on the door was answered by Zhao Tianhe.
Hearing a man’s voice, Wang Jianguo guessed it might be her eldest maternal uncle.
Their relationship was now official.
"Why are you back so late? Otherwise, I’ll pick you up tomorrow." Seeing his sister returning close to dusk, Zhao Tianhe planned to collect her the next day. After all, they had a bicycle at home, and picking someone up was quick.
Zhao Tianhe, completely confused, closed the door and headed to the main room.
"Xiaoxiao is acting a bit strange today. When I offered to collect her, she said there was no need?"
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the TV while munching on a piece of watermelon, spat out the seeds before answering, "Because Xiaomei has someone to pick her up. You’re single, so it’s normal for you not to know."
This statement hit Zhao Tianhe like an arrow,
He was single, but he wasn’t the only one.
The others looked at Yun Xiaoxiao in surprise.
"Laosan’s Wife, what’s going on?" Mrs. Zhao was quite shocked. Did her niece have some good news?
Did she have a suitor?
She hadn’t heard anything about it. Was it a local from Capital City or someone from elsewhere?
"Wait till Xiaomei comes over. Mother will ask and find out. I don’t know whether Xiaomei has accepted the person either?"
