The two of them came back suddenly, and their luggage had not been packed yet. Chu Ye asked them to go to the dormitory to pack their things first, and then go out to sell fish balls for a while.
In the evening, Mu Jiajun cooked, and Chu Ye helped, and plates of delicious, delicious and delicious dishes were served to the dinner table, which immediately aroused admiration.
"Wow! I didn't expect that my brother-in-law is so good at cooking!" Pan'er clapped her hands and exclaimed, while Xiaoya's eyes widened.
Mu Jiajun smiled softly, his eyes moved to Chu Ye, very affectionate, "Sometimes it is very happy to make delicious food for the people you like."
Chu Ye looked back, with a warm current flowing through his heart. Mu Jiajun took her hand and invited everyone to sit down for dinner. Pan'er and Xiaoya were smiling, and ambiguous eyes were flowing between them. Chu Ye was ashamed and annoyed. , one of them had a brain breakdown and asked them both to concentrate on eating.
After the food on the table was cleared away, Mu Jiajun took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and took over the job of washing the dishes. The three people were left with nothing to do. Finally, Chu Ye thought about it and ran to the storage room to move out the chairs and fish. poles and placed them in a row by the fish pond.
There was a bright lamp under the eaves of the house, and the light fell on the four people one after another, casting a shadow.
Pan'er twittered and shared interesting things that happened at home during the Chinese New Year, such as the old uncle Wang next door quarreling with his wife again, or the childhood playmate he hadn't seen for a long time has changed drastically, and his little niece bought a new red dress this year, and she looked like A red firecracker and so on.
She kept talking, and the three of them listened with great interest, sometimes laughing to tears, sometimes sighing, and Xiaoya actively shared various things she encountered back home. On Mu Jiajun.
"It's your turn, brother-in-law, please tell me how you met Sister Chu?" Pan'er asked curiously, while Xiaoya nodded repeatedly.
The light hit the side of Mu Jiajun's face. He turned his head slightly, and his whole face fell into the darkness. Chu Ye felt the eyes of the people next to him, which were full of tenderness even in the dark. She nodded lightly, over there Mu Jiajun seemed to have opened a chat box.
"Speaking of which, my life was saved from the flood by Xiaoye. If it weren't for her, I might have died at that time." Mu Jiajun spoke like Wang Zha, which scared Pan'er and Xiaoya.
"What! Isn't it so thrilling for you two to know each other?" Pan'er screamed immediately.
"What on earth is going on?" Xiaoya also wanted to know eagerly.
"It all started with the leak in the house I lived in..." Mu Jiajun put his hands behind his head, his tone full of nostalgia.
As he narrated, Chu Ye's eyes were leisurely, and her thoughts were brought back to the time when she had just been reborn and woke up and wanted to urgently change her life.
The four of us sat together and talked a lot this evening. Looking back on the past, we felt that no hardship was insurmountable. Although the journey was bumpy, we were indeed moving towards a better direction step by step.
It was unclear who ended the chat. I only knew that when they woke up the next day, all four of them had black eyes.
After Mu Jiajun washed up, he rubbed Chu Ye's cheek with some distress. He suggested that Chu Ye rest and ride his bike to sell fish balls, but Chu Ye refused.
Here Pan'er and Xiaoya also clamored to accompany them to sell things, but unfortunately they only had a tricycle. The two people rolled their eyes and had an idea in an instant. While Chu Ye and Mu Jiajun were going out, , the two people ran to a nearby village and rented a tricycle after talking to each other. In the afternoon, the two cars carrying fish balls drove in different directions.
After several days, the year is finally coming to an end, and more than half of the fish balls have been sold. Although the money earned from selling fish balls is not as much as selling fish, due to the cold wave, others sold large quantities of fish at low prices due to dead fish. Chu Ye did the opposite. Instead, he became a winner.
Chu Ye used the money he earned to buy a large number of bass fry and put them back into the fish pond. At that time, the cold wave hit. Although the fish pond suffered heavy casualties, it was not wiped out. The remaining big fish and crabs could still support the stalls. Stay open.
So on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the last tail of the year, the stall that had been closed for half a month welcomed customers again, but this time in addition to fish, there were also fish balls.
During the Chinese New Year, Chu Ye and others went around the streets shouting and selling fish balls, which attracted many customers. Because of this, when their stall was set up, people's enthusiasm was no different from before. Pan'er and Xiaoya also quickly got into the busy business.
Chu Ye, on the other hand, was accompanying Mu Jiajun at the airport. The announcement was already urging passengers to hurry up and board the plane. Mu Jiajun hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he wanted to hug the person into his bones and blood.
"Wait for me, pick me up here in half a month, do you hear me?" Mu Jiajun's tone was rare and domineering. Chu Ye was suffocated in his arms, nodding in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.
"If I run away secretly like before, I will..." He thought for a long time, but had no idea. Chu Ye raised half of his face from his arms, curious about what threatening words he was going to say.
But Mu Jiajun thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of anything vicious to say, and finally pinched her cheek angrily, "Anyway, you can't just leave without leaving any news, do you hear me?"
He was really scared. The last time Chu Ye came here alone, he had been looking for two years before he could meet again. If possible, he really wanted to tie Chu Ye to his belt and take them abroad together.
But no, he also came back after asking for leave this time, and now it's time to leave.
Chu Ye buried her head in his chest again and placed her palms on his back. She knew what Mu Jiajun was worried about. It was because she was too cowardly at the time and did not have the courage to face everything, so she left without saying goodbye. And these... But it became Mu Jiajun's shadow, so she gently comforted him, "I won't leave. I will wait for you here. I will come back here to pick you up in half a month."
"You can't lie." Mu Jiajun hugged her, and his voice fell on her ear, tickling gently.
"No, I will definitely come to pick you up." Chu Ye said firmly.
The radio voice urged again, and it was time to leave. Mu Jiajun withdrew his arms, hugged the cheeks of the person in front of him with his hands, and finally placed a gentle kiss on the lips, like a feather, and then took a long stride. Enter the security checkpoint.
This was the first time that Chu Ye had completely watched someone leave. Although the last time he saw someone off was at the airport, Mu Jiajun had a smile on his face and frequently turned around to say hello to her and his family.
But this time, Mu Jiajun never looked back.
Chu Ye stood there for a long time, until she couldn't see anything, and then she turned and left.
The days quickly moved forward like water. Three days later, the fish balls were completely sold out. Chu Ye counted the money earned during this period and found that it was only slightly lower than the total turnover in the first half of the year. In a cold wave like this, To be able to achieve this kind of results during a natural disaster can be considered a profit. In addition, there are customers who come to the stall to buy fish balls every day, but they leave after learning that the fish balls are sold out. Some are unwilling to give up and come here for several days in a row. They say that their children I like the fish balls here and have been planning to eat them for several days.
Chu Ye took their thoughts into consideration and remembered that Mu Jiajun had told her before that the fish ball business could be continued for a long time, and in the long run, it was more profitable than selling fish. Buy and sell.
So Chu Ye recruited six more workers from the next village, and they continued to make fish balls in pairs at the fish pond.
Two days later, an unexpected person came over. It was noon. Chu Ye and Pan'er Xiaoya had eaten and were about to take a rest. A beautiful figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the fish pond. Chu Ye happened to be there at that time. At the door of the house, when she looked up and saw the person coming, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. However, the person rushed towards her with a grin on his face and pinched her ears.
"Damn girl, you left me without saying goodbye, which made me scared for two years. It would be better for you to run here and be happy, right?" Qiao Mingzhu was so angry when she talked about this.
"Oh, it hurts," Chu Ye felt the pain and had to beg for mercy, "It's true that I did something wrong. I shouldn't have written to you so late."
"You still dare to mention this? If you hadn't written to me, I wouldn't have known you were here!" Qiao Mingzhu stopped her hands with anger, and Chu Ye had to laugh at her apology.
Pan'er and Xiaoya heard the noise and ran out of the dormitory. Seeing this scene, they didn't dare to step forward for a while.
Chu Ye stayed down and coaxed Mingzhu into the house first, and then asked Pan'er and Xiaoya to go back and rest first.
"Okay, you, not only did you only write me a letter for two years, but you also have other good friends behind my back?" Mingzhu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was so frightened when she thought of Chu Ye in the past two years. , this guy is pretty good, I’m afraid he’s almost forgotten about himself!
Of course, Chu Ye had to stroke Miss Qiao's hair. After she calmed down Mingzhu's anger with some kind words, she began to talk about her mental journey in the past two years, "...but this is really something I did wrong. , I should have contacted you earlier.”
"It's good that you know, hum!" Mingzhu accepted her apology arrogantly, and after a while, she said coldly, "...Then I'm not your good friend anymore?"
"Of course! We will always be good friends." Chu Ye said firmly.
"Hmph!" Mingzhu snorted in reply.
Mingzhu came here during the annual vacation. She was teaching at school and could not leave. It was not until now during the winter vacation that she had taken care of everything and could she seize the time to visit Chu Ye.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Ye also learned about what happened to Mingzhu in the past two years. She got engaged to Zhao Huaiyuan on October 1 last year and is expected to get married on May Day this year. Did you hear that?" Qiao Mingzhu said in a vicious tone before getting into the car.
She came and left as quickly as she came. She only stayed here for two days and had to go back quickly. She said that she became the head teacher last year and suddenly had many things to do and she had to go back to take care of the students.
At this moment, Chu Ye took her to the station and filled her with two bags full of fish balls. She originally wanted to continue filling them, but Mingzhu thought it would not look good when she held them, so she refused to accept them.
Mingzhu was reluctant to leave when parting, and Chu Ye's eyes were red. Hearing her words, he nodded quickly.
"Also, you have to write to me often, do you hear me?"
Chu Ye nodded again.
The final parting was wrapped in a deep hug, and Mingzhu embarked on the train home.
Another week passed, and Chu Ye arrived at the airport early as promised. The airport was crowded with people, and countless people separated and reunited here.
People around Chu Ye came and went. I don’t know how long I waited. Finally, a tall and thin figure walked out from the exit. The person was carrying two large suitcases on the left and right. As soon as he came out, he looked around and saw Chu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he strode over, and as soon as the suitcase was put down, he hugged Chu Ye into his arms.
The two hearts finally beat together without any hindrance. Mu Jiajun put his head in her ear, his voice full of joy, "This time I have returned to China after completing my studies, and you have no reason to drive me away."< br>
"I didn't drive you away, don't tell lies." Chu Ye told lies with his eyes open, and he could never admit it anyway.
Mu Jiajun's chuckle sounded in her ears, which made her heart itch. Then she heard, "The tutor said that he wanted to recommend me to the school for a position in the school, but I refused."
He paused for a moment and continued, "I said, my lover has been waiting for a long time, and I can't keep her waiting any longer."
Chu Ye's brain seemed to be hit by something for a moment. Before she could react, the warmth in her arms had withdrawn. She watched as Mu Jiajun took something out of his breast pocket, then knelt on one knee and looked at her with burning eyes. .
Chu Ye glanced over almost subconsciously. Inside a blue velvet box was a small and exquisite silver-white ring. The shape was simple and simple, and there was a metallic luster flashing under the light.
The moment Mu Jiajun knelt down, someone exclaimed, and then more and more people gathered around. They were smiling and looking forward to the next moment.
Mu Jiajun was obviously very nervous. Chu Ye saw his Adam's apple rolling rapidly, but his gray-blue eyes were full of tenderness. When he spoke, his voice was firmer than ever.
He said, "Ms. Chuye, will you marry me?"
I don't know who was taking the lead in applauding, and the sound got louder and louder. Chu Ye was in the crowd, but she couldn't hear so much in her ears. She could only see the person in front of her. She opened her mouth and it was obviously a definite answer. But she was still very nervous at this moment. She covered her chest for fear that her heart would jump out.
She said, "I do."
