Zhao Sange's sweet voice, coupled with Hua Cui's sweet and amiable smile, successfully made Zhao Qiming's heart tremble, his hands shaking, and he almost knocked over his lunch box.
The little boy who came to deliver the meal blinked. He stood behind Zhao Qiming a little shyly, and from time to time he raised his head and secretly stared at Huacui.
Huacui's expression remained unchanged: "Thanks to Uncle Zhao for taking care of me during this period. I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart. In my heart, I have long regarded Uncle Zhao and you as my family in Qingshan Village."
"However, if you think I'm annoying, just pretend I didn't mention it." She became depressed and looked so pitiful that no one could bear to refuse.
Zhao Qiming remained silent.
Huacui: "..."
"Do you really hate me?!" After her tried and tested move hit a wall, Hua Cui's eyes widened in disbelief.
Those eyes that were always shining showed a hint of hurt.
"No, no." Zhao Qiming hurriedly denied, pursed his lips and repeated, "I don't hate you."
It's just that he is unmarried and she is unmarried, and she calls her so intimately that it is inevitable that someone will gossip.
She was an educated youth from the city, and being associated with a guy like him would have a bad influence on her.
Zhao Qiming didn't even say these words.
"Really? Then can I still call you Brother Zhao?" Hua Cui didn't think this title was very intimate. There were many people who went to Bao Lai Bao when they first met.
Zhao Qiming said politely: "Daniu is my uncle's child. I am the third eldest child in the family, so he calls me that. If Comrade Huacui calls me that, others may misunderstand."
He was thinking about her.
Dan Niu suddenly raised his head when he heard his name, as if he felt that the rustic nickname could not be used in front of Hua Cui. He coyly whispered: "My name is Zhao Weihua, Wei means great Wei, Hua means China's Hua."
"I know, Comrade Zhao Weihua." Hua Cui bent down. It was not convenient for children to observe the affairs of adults. She touched his head, "Thank you for coming here to deliver the food. Go back and do your homework."
"I don't have to do my homework. I'll go to the mountain to carry firewood later!" Daniel puffed up his chest.
Huacui: "Huh?"
So awesome?
"I can carry firewood and cut pig grass. My mother said I can do it better than Xiaohu Fubao and the others!"
Hua Cui was ashamed for half a second, thinking that today was only Tuesday and it was supposed to be a school day: "Then you won't go to school?"
Daniel smiled: "My father said that going to school is useless. When I grow up, I can help the family earn work points. I am strong, so I will definitely earn many, many work points, and then eat meat every day!"
Hua Cui's current goal is to eat meat every day just like him. She disagrees with the theory that "study is useless", but she also knows that many people in this era think the same as Big Niu Daddy.
It's not worth persuading people who are not relatives, so she just smiled without retorting: "That big cow is very powerful. It's hot outside, go home quickly."
"Yeah."
Watching Daniel leave happily, Hua Cui turned her head: "Brother Xiao Ming~"
Zhao Qiming's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't tell whether it was surprise or joy.
Huacuiren's smart mind moved quickly, and she knew what he was worried about. She quickly lowered her voice and assured: "Don't worry, I understand. From now on, I will only call you that in private. We will keep our distance in front of outsiders. This way Others will stop gossiping.”
She gave him a look that said, "How about I be smart?"
Zhao Qiming was almost led astray by her, and he was at a loss. But, but, but, what was the difference between them and those men and women who secretly had secret affairs? !
If someone discovers it, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he won’t be able to escape!
Huacui rubbed her hands, and after all the preparation, she finally got to the point and urged: "Brother Xiao Ming, let's sit down and have a rest and eat quickly, otherwise the meal will be cold."
It doesn't taste good when it's cold.
Zhao Qiming has not yet recovered from the impact of "Brother Xiao Ming". He is so angry that his face is red. He doesn't understand why Huacui suddenly clings to him. They were strangers before...
When did it start?
When his father asked him to come over and secretly help her share the work? No, she wasn't that enthusiastic about him at that time. It seemed like... the first time he took out the cake his mother baked for him?
Zhao Qiming suddenly realized that it was the same this time. After Daniel brought him lunch, she changed her name for him from Comrade Zhao to Brother Xiao Ming.
His mood was a little complicated.
"What's wrong, what are you looking at me for? Is there something dirty on my face?" Hua Cui waited for a long time before he opened the lunch box, and suddenly the alarm bell rang in her heart, it was over! He started to guard against her!
Flowery green and bitter gourd face.
"No, nothing."
Zhao Qiming slowly opened the lunch box. Today, his mother made dumplings for him. They were all thin-skinned and filled with big fillings. They looked particularly pleasant when they were round and round in the lunch box.
Huacui could see clearly that steam was coming out.
Hua Cui stared at it helplessly, drooling involuntarily, and feeling a little sad. She never knew that one day she would become so greedy. Her greatest pleasure every day was eating candy and a piece of meat.
In my previous life, I ate and waited to die. I didn't want the best or the most expensive ones. In this life, I am facing the earth with my back to the sky. I have worked so hard for so long just to get a few dumplings in other people's lunch boxes.
Huacui felt that this might be God's punishment for her.
But she has never done anything harmful to the world. Her grandma is in charge of her, and she does not engage in pornography, gambling or drugs. She only cheats innocent little dogs when they are in love.
Damn it, why would you treat her like this?
Hua Cui stared at the dumplings with resentful and hot eyes, so hot that Zhao Qiming felt as if he was about to turn into a dumpling in the lunch box. Hua Cui, who was staring at him eagerly, was thinking about how to swallow him in one bite.
His face grew hot and his brain began to leave home.
"Comrade Hua Huacui, do you want to try the dumplings?" Zhao Qiming knew that once he took the initiative to open his mouth, this greedy girl would definitely stick to him in the future. The best thing to do would be not to Reject her calmly and let her back out.
But her mouth was faster than her brain. Looking at those dark eyes, her desire for dumplings quickly turned into a substantial net, tightly wrapping him in it. By the time Zhao Qiming reacted, he had already taken the initiative to extend his lunch box and extended an invitation. .
"Okay!" Hua Cui was waiting for his words.
She quickly picked half of the dumplings and put them into her bowl. She was worried that he would not be able to work well in the afternoon if he had enough to eat, so she thoughtfully gave him the pancakes in her bowl.
Her pancakes were incomparable to the pancakes Zhao Qiming brought over yesterday. They were dry, hard to chew, oilless, meatless, tasteless, and had no effect except filling the stomach.
After all, the sesame cakes she bought at a roadside stall in her previous life were mixed with sugar.
"Brother Xiao Ming, you are such a good person~"
There it is again.
Zhao Qiming sat stiffly on the stone one meter away from her, his face burning.
In fact, he already regretted it after handing over the lunch box, but when he saw her face full of happiness while holding the lunch box, and smiling with eyes like crescent moons, he felt a hidden happiness in his heart.
Forget it, he comforted himself. After finishing the work in the paddy field, there would be less opportunities for the two of them to meet. During this time, he should take care of her.
She was thin and weak, with not much flesh on her face. She looked like she would collapse when the wind blew. She didn't know how she would survive the busy farming season after a while. When the farming was busy, he would have no time to help her secretly.
Huacui held her lunch box and ate happily alone, unaware that there would be a busy farm life waiting for her in the future.
After eating, she rested in the shade for another hour. After dawdling no longer, Hua Cui picked up her sickle and went to catch fish. On the way, she ran to the stream to fetch water. The pair of wild mandarin ducks had long since disappeared. Missing, she came back from fetching water and continued fishing.
The days were not particularly difficult, and Hua Cui gained some confidence in her future life.
"Huacui, it's time to go back!"
It was getting late, and Huacui couldn't tell the time without a watch. Every day, she waited for Guan Yingying to stand on the ridge of the field and call her. During this time, she came to find her, and then they went back to the educated youth dormitory together.
"Come on, come on!" Hua Cui waved her hand in response to Guan Yingying, then lowered her voice and said in a volume that only each other could hear, "Brother Xiao Ming, let's see you tomorrow~"
Zhao Qiming said "hmm" nervously, feeling quite excited that the two of them were doing something shameful.
Hua Cui curled her lips and walked away from get off work proudly.
Guan Yingying was not surprised that she was still so happy after finishing her work every day. She beat her arms and thought of one thing: "By the way, are you going to the county tomorrow?"
"What are you doing in the county?"
"Have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the day we agreed to go shopping in the county."
Huacui looked through the memories left by the original owner and immediately agreed: "Go!"
Every once in a while, the village organizes trips to the county to buy daily necessities. Everyone can take care of each other along the way, but the original owner rarely participates.
"Okay, then I'll call you early tomorrow, don't stay in bed, do you hear me?"
"Yeah!" Hua Cui agreed.
Early the next morning.
Hua Cui was lifted up by Guan Yingying and lifted up from the bed. She looked out the window sleepily, with shock on her face: "It's so early! You can still see the moon!"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Don't blame me for waiting for you if you can't keep up with the big army."
"I'm not going, I want to sleep."
Guan Yingying had long seen through her tricks and was not used to her. She quickly started to pack her things: "That's up to you. I'm going to go anyway."
Huacui: "..."
In the end, she got up with a groan, and hurriedly and slowly rushed to the entrance of the village to gather in the moonlight.
There were a dozen people in total, mostly women, and occasionally some were holding their own children.
"Is everyone here? Then we're leaving!"
"It's all here, it's all here, let's go!"
"Let's go, it will be too late if you don't leave."
Someone responded from the darkness.
Huacui followed Guan Yingying and walked at the end of the queue. She looked up at the dark sky and didn't understand where "wan" was.
She had a bad premonition: "How long will it take us to go?"
"It depends on the situation. If it's quick, it might only take more than two hours."
Huacui: "...!!!"
if only?
