"Hee hee!" Qiaohui clung to her arm, cajoling, "Don't be mad anymore! I wanted to come back and tell you, but I just couldn't bring myself to say it."
"It's your own mother, what's there to be embarrassed about!" Wu Shufang shot her a look. "When did you and Zhigang get together?"
Qiaohui pulled her down to sit on the edge of the bed, blushing as she looked at her mother and said, "Brother Zhigang often comes to the store to help out and chat. I think he's a really nice person, and he's hardworking too."
"One time, he tore his clothes and asked me to help mend them. After I fixed them, he asked me to make him two pairs of shoe insoles. He bought me some silk thread and a handkerchief as a gift, and... well, one thing led to another, and we got together."
