Just as Liu Zhi was about to turn around and leave, the educated youth behind him added, "I heard that he will stay in the city for two weeks when he returns to visit relatives. He should be able to come back next week."
What? ?
Liu Zhi's head was filled with questions. She just wondered if the person in front of her was playing tricks on her.
Brother, what can you do after saying this?
Liu Zhi was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him, but the basic courtesy allowed her to smile and thank him.
The educated youth was full of gossip, thinking that Widow Liu was chatting and laughing with Zhong Zhiqing, and she had a close relationship with He Zhiqing after she left. Tsk, although she was really pretty, but with this method... he could It's really unacceptable.
"What do you want from He Zhiqing?" the male educated youth asked deliberately.
"Oh, it's like this. I was sick a while ago. He Zhiqing thought that I was the parent of his student, so he often came to help water my vegetable field. I thought, I can't be ungrateful, so I have to come to thank him no matter what. No. ”
Liu Zhi's explanation was too official and healthy, leaving the educated youth with no idea what to do, so she had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then you can come back in two days."
Liu Zhi smiled at him and said, "Comrade educated youth, thank you."
The educated youth's face turned red instantly and he stood aside blankly. He didn't come back to his senses until Liu Zhi left.
"Widow Liu has such a beautiful smile!" He thought blankly, and gave himself a hard slap. You are an intellectual, you are not allowed to have such unhealthy thoughts in your mind!
Speaking of Zhong Qi, Liu Zhi actually received a letter from him. The letter contained some unremarkable content, saying that he had joined a publishing house in a certain city. The boss was very satisfied with his paintings and was very grateful to Liu Zhi for the confidence and affirmation he had given him.
At the end of the letter, Zhong Qi drew a few distinctive strokes to show Liu Zhi the style of his current office. He also left Liu Zhi a mailing address, saying that he hoped to keep in touch with Liu Zhi.
How does it feel to have a big shot in the art world proactively ask to keep in touch? Liu Zhi carefully preserved the letter and wrapped it in layers of newspapers. From now on, these will all be cultural relics!
A few days later, He Xiuyuan came back from the city. His hair was cut shorter and he was wearing new clothes. His appearance profoundly interpreted the meaning of standing out from the crowd. Liu Zhi saw him from a distance while working in the fields.
Gee, this guy is really dazzling.
Where is he going? Liu Zhi was doing the most disgusting job today. She had to put grass stained with pig manure next to the rice seedlings as fertilizer. She had to prepare pig manure for the fields she was responsible for.
Liu Zhi didn't raise pigs, so she just begged other people to save the pig manure bit by bit. God knows how much she wanted to cry when she was carrying a big bucket of pig manure! Fertilizer. Show up quickly!
Liu Zhi no longer paid attention to He Xiuyuan's whereabouts and quickly devoted herself to the work of fertilizing. Today was her most efficient day. After all, the smell of farmyard manure could stun her. She had tied several straps to her nostrils and could still smell it. When I saw the pungent smell, in order to prevent myself from being smoked to death, I could only speed up.
Looking up again, Liu Zhi found He Xiuyuan standing next to his field. He was wearing brand new clothes and his shiny leather shoes were already stained with some mud. In short, he looked like an intellectual in the city and had nothing to do with the field. No.
He didn't mind the smell either, so he just stood aside and looked at Liu Zhi with a smile.
Liu Zhi was startled and almost fell down on her butt in the fertilizer she had just put down.
"What are you doing?"
He Xiuyuan's eyes were bright, "I heard that you came to see me? Is there something wrong?"
Liu Zhixin said that the educated youth conveyed the message quickly, but brother, can you find a better time to ask about the situation?
Now, there was pig manure all around her, her body also smelled bad, she was so hot that she was sticky with sweat, and she felt as embarrassed as she wanted. As for He Xiuyuan, he is clean, fresh and tidy, just like the educated youth actor in the TV series, high-spirited and real and handsome. This comparison simply made Liu Zhi furious.
If Liu Zhi takes out the cream from his pocket now, He Xiuyuan, will you take it or not?
"It's okay, it's okay, what can happen?" Liu Zhi replied angrily.
He Xiuyuan was not angry, but rather looked forward to it, "Are you angry because I left without explaining to you?"
ah? What is this guy thinking about again? Liu Zhi was a little amused, but when she thought of her own purpose, she refrained from laughing out loud.
"What do you think?" She looked at him with a half-smile.
He Xiuyuan, a young man with no love experience at all, didn't know what Liu Zhi meant. He just thought that Liu Zhi was really angry. When he came to this conclusion, he was very happy in his heart.
"Well, an elder in the family was sick. I left in a hurry, so I didn't tell you." He Xiuyuan patiently explained that this was a reason he didn't tell anyone.
"Oh——" Liu Zhi responded coldly.
He Xiuyuan was not discouraged. He rolled up his trouser legs and was about to get down into the ground. "Are you done today? Do you want me to help you?" Liu Zhi saw that his feet were about to come into close contact with the fertilizer and shouted to stop him. "These are new clothes after all. Can you respect them? Don't come down. I can do it myself. I can't afford to pay for damaging your clothes."
After Liu Zhi walked around the department store many times in the past few months, it can be concluded that the price of He Xiuyuan's clothes must be quite high. So he is still an educated youth with small assets!
He Xiuyuan came down anyway. He didn't care about his new and expensive clothes at all. He took the manure scoop from Liu Zhi's hand and sprinkled the fertilizer on the edge of the crops accurately and quickly. In a short time, the whole bucket of fertilizer was filled. Spread cleanly.
Liu Zhi was funny and irritating, "I can do it on my own, I don't need your help. Look, you're smelly now too. Go up and wash yourself off."
"Stinks all stink together, it's not a problem." When He Xiuyuan said this, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Liu Zhi felt strange. It seemed that He Xiuyuan had changed a lot from the last time he saw him. He had become more outgoing?
After helping Liu Zhi pack up the farm tools, He Xiuyuan was not in a hurry and followed Liu Zhi step by step. He briefly washed the mud from her shoes by the pond with her. Let others' appraising eyes keep wandering between the two of them.
Finally reaching a place where there was no one around, He Xiuyuan walked beside Liu Zhi, "Now you can talk, what do you want from me?"
Liu Zhi had a headache from the noise and motioned for him to follow her. When she came home, Liu Zhi took out the jar of cream and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to give this to you as a thank you for watering the vegetables for me a while ago." .”
He Xiuyuan only glanced at the jar, and his expression became unnatural.
Liu Zhi noticed it and said with a smile, "What, don't you like my thank you gift? I tell you, gay men also need to take care of themselves, otherwise in a few years, your face will definitely be unreadable, don't Tell me, men don’t rely on their appearance, but if your significant other is a very good-looking person, you will be very happy just looking at him every day. You should think more about your future partner.”
He Xiuyuan still looked a little embarrassed and said, "No. Me. Me too"
He silently stretched out his hand from his trouser pocket, and there was an identical jar in his hand, "This is the cream I bought for you in the city. My cousin said it is the most popular one now."< br>
"Pfft -" Liu Zhi couldn't help laughing and took the jar from He Xiuyuan's hand, "It seems that we are heroes and have the same idea! Thank you for your gift, I accepted it!"
"Well, thank you for your gift. I will definitely wipe it. Try to make my future partner happy for a few more years."
Liu Zhi frowned, when did He Xiuyuan become so glib, and she always felt that there was some hidden meaning in his words.
In the evening, Yuan Shanmei, who was also sweating after picking rice ears outside all day, came back. Liu Zhi boiled a pot of water in advance and soaked her in the bathtub for a good bath.
The little girl lay in the basin and played with water while touching her belly happily, "It's so comfortable to take a bath. It would be great if I don't feel cold in winter!"
Liu Zhi touched her head and said, "It will happen again in the future. Just bear with it a little longer."
After taking a bath, Liu Zhi put a soft short-sleeved shirt on Yuan Shanmei as pajamas and asked her to sit on the bed to dry her feet. Yuan Shanmei suddenly remembered something and pointed to the cream on the cabinet beside her, "Aunt Liu Zhi, I want Apply the cream, please give it to me!”
Liu Zhi handed it over and saw the little girl carefully opening the lid and sniffing it first, with a look of intoxication on her face, "Wow - it smells so good! It smells so good!"
Yuan Shanmei, a little stingy person, took a little bit of it with her index finger and put it on her hand. Liu Zhi laughed and said, "Pick more of it, and we can buy it when you're done with it."
There is one more small soybean grain.
Liu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a big piece with her index finger and rubbed it with her palm, then gently covered Yuan Shanmei's face, "Well - now Shanmei is a sweet-smelling baby!"
Yuan Shanmei happily raised her feet and hummed the newly learned song, "Let's swing the oars~~The boat pushes away the waves~~" Her little feet swayed along with the song, feeling happy.
After singing for a while, Yuan Shanmei got tired and quickly fell into sleep.
Seeing that the child was asleep, Liu Zhi cleaned herself up, ran around, and applied cucumber on her face. Although the hydrating effect of cucumber was minimal, it was better than nothing. Liu Zhi couldn't stand that her skin was getting dry and yellow day by day.
After washing her face, Liu Zhi took out the jar of ice cream that He Xiuyuan gave to her and gently applied it on her face. The moment the ice cream touched her skin, Liu Zhi's face turned a little red, as if she had done something intimate. Something like that.
Bah, Liu Zhi, you are really worthless! Liu Zhi scolded herself in her heart. She had never experienced anything before. How come she has become innocent in this age of innocence? Can just a can of ice cream impress you?
Sorry, I'm really touched. Liu Zhi's heart is beating faster and faster now. Holding the jar is like holding He Xiuyuan's hand, and it only feels hotter and hotter.
I don’t know if He Xiuyuan applied the cream she gave him. Would he be as embarrassed as she was?
