Zhao Qiming had an even bigger headache. He didn't know how to explain to Hua Cui how inappropriate it was for her to visit with gifts like this.
In the eyes of the neighbors, there is no difference between him carrying a bride price and going to an educated youth spot to propose marriage. It is equally worth chatting for days and nights after dinner.
"When I fainted, it was Uncle Zhao who specially sent a tractor to take me to the hospital. Even a drop of kindness needs to be repaid by a spring, let alone this kind of life-saving kindness!" Hua Cui didn't know what he was worried about, and her face was full of seriousness. Asked, "You stopped me because you wanted to trap me into injustice?"
Zhao Qiming was so blocked that he couldn't speak. He lowered his head to avoid her "So you are such a person, I really misjudged you" look.
"Besides, I'm going to thank Uncle Zhao, why are you stopping me?"
Zhao Qiming: "..."
He said he couldn't, he gave up.
He could only nod and agree: "If mother asks, just say I agreed."
"Okay."
In the evening, the sun gradually sets in the west, and the evening breeze brings a layer of coolness.
"Let's go." Zhao Qiming nodded to her.
After all, this was their first meeting, so perception was very important. Hua Cui was very concerned about her image. After being exposed to the sun for a day, she sniffed her clothes to make sure there was no suspicious sweat odor before she felt relieved.
"Does it look good? This braid looks good. Does it make you feel excited?"
She has observed that most girls in the village tie their hair into two braids, but the braiding technique is single and the resulting braids are lifeless.
Hua Cui carefully made her hair fluffy on both sides. People of this era still don’t know what “fairy style” and “messy beauty” are. They only feel in their hearts that she is a beautiful educated youth. Even if her hair is messy, she still looks good. .
Her ability to coax her elders is top-notch, and she will definitely win over Zhao Qiming’s mother! Huacui is full of confidence.
"Okay, good-looking." When she asked, Zhao Qiming lowered his head and did not dare to look further, and only answered the previous question.
Hua Cui acquiesces that he is passionate about her.
The educated youth dormitory is in a remote corner of the village, while the Zhao family courtyard is in the center of the village, almost passing through half of the village.
Zhao Qiming led the way, and she followed behind. She received a lot of looks along the way. Most people just said hello and swallowed their curiosity.
Except this guy.
"Hey, Zhao San, it turns out you can also take girls home. Let me see which one...oh, Huacui?"
Zhao Qiming looked impatient. He rarely showed this emotion. He frowned and said, "Gu Jiaxue, get out of the way."
Hua Cui raised her eyelids behind him and stared at the young man in front of her who was dressed in a fashionable manner.
Gu Jiaxue has a good name, but unfortunately he is a well-known second-rate boy in the village. Relying on his parents' doting and good family conditions, he spends his days attracting cats and dogs in the village and causing trouble everywhere.
Moreover, he had some small grudges with the original owner.
The original owner usually hated this kind of frivolous and careless man. One day when we met in a narrow street at work, Gu Jiaxue stopped him and looked at him for a long time, and raised his eyebrows: "You look really good, but I don't like his personality. He's too naughty."
There is no difference between this and being a hooligan.
Besides, who would like him? She didn't care what he liked, but the original owner's face turned green with anger, and she mocked him with a cold face for being shameless and a loser.
The words "Sangmenxing" made Gu Jiaxue's face instantly look ugly. Hua Cui also heard about it when others were chatting. It is said that Gu Jiaxue originally had a sibling brother, but Gu Jiaxue was born with evil spirits and showed strong and domineering behavior when he was still in his mother's womb. On the other hand, one of the brothers was too strong and the other was too thin.
When the younger brother was born, his body was covered in bruises and scars, and his breathing was weak, while Gu Jiaxue had good hands and feet and was full of breath. Wen Po had delivered so many newborns, and this was the first time she had seen twins like this.
In the following years, his younger brother was always weak and small, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind, while Gu Jiaxue was just the opposite, not only strong but strong as an ox.
Everyone said that he was his younger brother's nemesis. Over time, the Gu family's parents also began to wonder if the two children were destined to be in conflict, and they secretly discussed sending Gu Jiaxue to a relative's home for foster care for a few years. On the contrary, the younger brother could not take a breath and died that night.
As soon as this incident came out, the name of the Gu family's school was completely confirmed.
Gu Jiaxue hated people calling him "Sangmenxing" the most. He would beat anyone who asked. After so many years, under the power of his fists, no one dared to call him "Sangmenxing" in front of him.
Of course, what's more is the fear of getting into bad luck. Although it's a new era, some bad ideas are still deeply rooted in people's hearts, such as superstition.
The original owner Hua Cui looked at Gu Jiaxue's sullen and ugly expression, and regretted her quick words. When she thought she would definitely be beaten by the furious Gu Jiaxue, Gu Jiaxue just gave her a gloomy look and turned around to leave.
The two of them had a good relationship, but fortunately they didn't have many opportunities to meet each other, and the original owner deliberately avoided him.
Hua Cui went through all the memories related to the original owner and him. Although the experience of traveling through the book had a great impact on her world view, she still insisted on believing in science.
It's just a small probability event that Gu Jiaxue happened to meet him.
"Care, family, and study."
She smiled.
Hearing her soft voice, Gu Jiaxue looked over subconsciously and asked in a rough voice: "What are you doing?"
"Don't block the road, get out of the way."
The roads in the countryside were already crowded, but he was standing in the middle of the road, how could he let others pass?
Gu Jiaxue was speechless.
I haven't seen her for a while, and she has a bad temper, as if she is a different person.
Can you not be irritable? Huacui was anxious. At this time, every household was busy preparing dinner. If they didn't go back quickly, what if Zhao Qiming's family had prepared dinner?
Huacui plans to have another wasted dinner at Zhao's house. In short, her hair can be messy, but her meal cannot be skipped. "Get out of the way."
Thinking about the Zhao family's dinner, the eldest lady's temper got the better of her. Hua Cui stretched out her hand and pushed Gu Jiaxue away rudely, not caring that the other person was almost a head taller than her and was notorious for hitting women.
Gu Jiaxue was stunned again, staggering a few steps to stand firm on the field ridge. By the time he came back to his senses, Huacui had already led Zhao Qiming away, walking in a hurry.
Gujiaxue: "."
He's not a scourge, is he? You can’t rush to eat! ?
Huacui hurriedly hurriedly arrived at the Zhao family compound before the sun set. The stone courtyard was neatly tidied, and a little girl about six or seven years old was sitting in the courtyard peeling beans.
Seeing Zhao Qiming, the little girl happily threw down the beans in her hand. She wanted to step forward, but looked at Huacui timidly.
Zhao Qiming asked: "Where is your mother?"
"In the kitchen."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Guifang walked out of the kitchen with a water ladle. As she walked, she said: "Niuniu, let me peel a bean for you."
The remaining words will be automatically silenced when seeing Huacui.
Hua Cui put on a smile and stepped forward: "Aunt, long time no see."
Li Guifang was caught off guard and froze in place with a somewhat uncertain tone: "Educated youth?"
"It's me." She responded with a smile on her face, "Thanks to Uncle Zhao and your care during this period, so I will shamelessly come to see you today."
Hua Cui put the bag of pastries she was carrying into someone's hand, "It's a worthless specialty product. Auntie, please don't be polite."
"No matter what, this is what the child's father should do, not to mention taking care of him." Li Guifang waved her hands quickly.
Hua Cui was not as strong as she was, so she went back and forth, but the bag of pastries was forced back.
"." Misstep.
Huacui thought for a while, then changed her focus and stuffed the cake into Zhao Qiming's hand: "Comrade Zhao, keep it then."
"Don't refuse." She said in a breathy voice secretly behind Li Guifang's back.
Zhao Qiming took it bravely, and then his mother secretly glared at him.
"Educated Youth"
"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Cuicui. When I'm at home, my mother also calls me that."
Li Guifang wiped the water on her hands with her apron. Although she was a little surprised, since they were here, she couldn't say she was not welcome, so she enthusiastically pulled Hua Cui to sit down: "Cui Cui, have you eaten yet?"< br>
It's coming, it's coming, Hua Cui shook her head honestly: "No."
"Since you haven't eaten, just stay and finish eating before leaving. Auntie will do it right away, very soon."
The way to show enthusiasm in this day and age is to invite people to stay for a meal.
Li Guifang cleared her throat and was waiting for Hua Cui to shyly refuse before trying to persuade her again. She had already prepared a plan and would never let anyone leave on an empty stomach after giving him a gift.
"Okay, okay!"
".?"
Hua Cui's eyes were full of yearning: "I have long heard that my aunt's cooking is delicious. I finally got this opportunity, so I must try it!"
As a person who is several decades older, what kind of things have you never experienced? But Li Guifang was still a little embarrassed by Hua Cui's frank love. She had been cooking for so many years, and her family had been eating for so many years, but no one had ever praised her.
All of them are saw-mouthed gourds.
Unexpectedly, today I was praised by a city girl. The food in the city is better than that in the countryside. Is there anything delicious? But this also shows that her cooking is delicious and Huacui is more sincere.
Li Guifang felt extremely comfortable.
"But I didn't mean to eat the food cooked by my aunt. I'm really grateful to Uncle Zhao for taking care of me during this time." Hua Cui was a little embarrassed, and the corner of her mouth raised a slight smile.
Li Guifang felt even more compassion in her heart. Just opening her mouth more often, how much of her family's food could she eat? Even if he really tries his best to get her a meal, it doesn't matter!
"Auntie, I understand, I understand! Then we agreed that we must stay and finish the meal before leaving! Niuniu, bring me a glass of water for my sister."
"Okay."
Niuniu obediently went into the kitchen to pour water, and soon came out with a water glass. Huacui took the water glass: "Thank you, Niuniu~"
Niu Niu blushed and hid behind Li Guifang.
"Cui Cui, please sit down for a while. Auntie will cook soon. We can eat when the others come back." Li Guifang waved to Zhao Qiming, "You come over and help too."
"Aunt..."
"No, no, you are a guest. How can I let you into the kitchen? Niuniu, you go and play with your sister for a while, you know?"
Niuniu nodded obediently: "I know."
Hua Cui lowered her head and strategically took a sip of warm water. In fact, she just wanted to remind her that the water ladle had been left on the stool, and she had no intention of helping.
In her last life plus this life, Hua Cui had entered the kitchen no more than five times, and every time she entered the kitchen, it would cause a big disaster.
Oops, the water given to her was mixed with sugar. Sure enough, our family has a big business, it’s really a luxury...
On the other side, in the kitchen.
Li Guifang added half a bowl of rice more than usual into the pot. Zhao Qiming sat at the stove, broke off branches and started a fire.
"Tell me honestly, do you like..."
"Don't make blind guesses about things that don't exist."
"That's it. He is an educated youth in the city, not the same kind of people as us. He will have to go back sooner or later. Don't move forward stupidly, do you understand?"
"...Hmm."
The firelight jumped on Zhao Qiming's face, and it was half-dark, making it impossible to see his emotions.
