Hua Cui was not afraid of anything, except when faced with Li Guifang's nagging, she felt frightened. It was like the omnipotent Monkey Monkey who escaped from heaven and earth but encountered the Tang Monk's Tightening Curse, which was the fateful star.
Zhao Qiming didn't want her to be caught talking about it again, so he nodded and said softly: "I understand, I will be careful."
Hua Cui was very satisfied with his vision and waved with a smile: "Then go back quickly, I'll wait for you."
He tilted his head and waved like a lucky cat, with a warm smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Qiming took a breath and nodded again. His heart suddenly felt like he had poured ten pounds of sugar water into his mouth. It was so sweet that it made him feel tired. His waist was no longer sore and his legs were no longer painful. He was full of energy all over his body.
Not to mention just getting a foot wash, even if Huacui wants the stars in the sky and the moon now, he still has to work hard.
When Zhao Qiming came back from fetching water, Hua Cui put her feet into the water basin with just the right temperature, and then let out a long sigh of relief. Her life has become more and more healthy recently, and all she needs is a thermos cup filled with wolfberry.
She tilted her head, and Zhao Qiming had no time to retract his eyes. He was forced to face her directly. Hua Cui asked funnyly: "What are you looking at me for? Is there anything written on my face?"
Zhao Qiming blushed, shook his head and said "no".
He was a little shy in his heart. He had just been fascinated by it for a moment. It must be ugly to look at him in a daze.
As the saying goes, if you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. This is not unreasonable. Hua Cui took a bite of the pen in her hand, suddenly dropped the textbook and stared directly at Zhao Qiming.
I didn't think that before, but now looking at Brother Xiao Ming's appearance, he can definitely debut where he is. The more he looks at him, the more handsome he becomes. Although he is a completely different type from Zhou Haiwen, he is not inferior to him.
Hua Cui whistled frivolously. Compared with the dense questions, Zhao Qiming was obviously more attractive.
She asked: "Am I cute?"
Zhao Qiming nodded.
"Since I'm cute, do you love me?"
Still nodding.
She can be very clumsy and can't come up with a sweet word even though she turns over and over again, but Hua Cui is not angry or disappointed either. This type of character has a unique flavor.
She had an ex who was a host by profession, and he was more glib than she was. The sweet talk they shared in one day after dating was equivalent to a year in other couples' relationships. Unfortunately, they broke up quickly.
Hua Cui dumped him. When she liked him, she thought he was humorous and funny, but when she didn't like him, she thought he was glib and made jokes, which made her more and more annoying.
"Brother Xiao Ming, how is your wound recovering? Does it still hurt?"
She jumped the topic so quickly that Zhao Qiming was stunned for a while before saying: "It doesn't hurt anymore and I'm recovering well."
"Oh, that's because I took good care of him." Hua Cui boasted, taking all the credit on herself, and at the same time, her claws were ready to move, rubbing against the hem of Zhao Qiming's clothes.
The force is not heavy, just like a kitten's claws scratching the heart.
"Let me touch the wound, otherwise I won't worry."
Zhao Qiming felt that she didn't just want to see the wound. He blushed so much that he was almost bleeding, and grabbed the corner of his clothes to prevent her from causing trouble.
"Why are you shy? We are husband and wife, and it is natural to do these things."
Hua Cui was very interested. The more Zhao Qiming resisted, the more interested she became.
I don't know which words hit Zhao Qiming. He looked at Huacui with a red face, and his resistance gradually weakened.
"Hmm." His voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Zhao Qiming was the gentlest person Huacui had ever met, and he was also the most service-minded. When she frowned a little, he stopped nervously and hurriedly asked if he had made her uncomfortable in any way.
"It's not uncomfortable." Hua Cui licked her lips subconsciously.
"Are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."
Hua Cui was stunned.
Zhao Qiming also later realized that the current situation was not suitable for picking up water on the way. He lowered his head in embarrassment and shame, hating himself for being so brainless.
Just as she was about to forget it, Hua Cui suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter, her voice was filled with tenderness and a hint of nostalgia.
"Well, I want something cold."
Miss you? Who do you miss?
The color on Zhao Qiming's face slowly faded. A man in love is the most sensitive creature and the smartest Sherlock Holmes. No detail can escape his eyes.
As for Hua Cui, she allowed herself to empty her mind and looked at Zhao Qiming, but her heart had already drifted away. She had not thought of her "last life" for a long time.
When Zhao Qiming just asked her if she wanted to drink water, Hua Cui suddenly thought of her bastard ex-boyfriend in her previous life. There was obviously no similarity between the two, but at that moment, Hua Cui saw the shadow of her bastard ex-boyfriend.
As childhood playmates who had fooled around together, childhood sweethearts who fell in love with each other, they later reunited in college and became a couple again.
Hua Cui's relationship with him was not the longest, nor was it the shortest. She was neither the most vigorous and beloved, nor the most dramatic breakup scene.
But for Huacui, it was the most unforgettable.
After the breakup, the two remained friends. Her bastard ex-boyfriend held the identity tag of her best friend and watched the people around Huacui change.
He has thousands of lovers, but he is the only good friend.
Hua Cui looked away melancholy, and then sighed inaudibly.
Unfortunately, she is gone.
Because of the damn car accident.
Hua Cui's family is thin, and Hua Cui, the grandma's second half of her life, is more dependent on her bastard ex-boyfriend than her relatives who are beyond her reach.
Although she is a bad guy, although she often bullies him, and although she loves to hurt him, she still truly regards him as her own relative.
After all, boyfriends are temporary, only family members are eternal. Hua Cui came back to her senses and came out of the sadness that she had been dead for a while. Seeing that Zhao Qiming still looked dazed, she pinched his face and said, "Baby, why are you so dazed?"
The tone was sweet, and the previous nostalgia had long since disappeared.
Zhao Qiming looked at him and finally swallowed back the words that were about to pop out of his throat.
".Nothing."
In fact, he wanted to ask, who was she thinking about through him just now? Who is she missing through him?
In his heart, Hua Cui was always optimistic and smiling heartlessly. It was the first time Zhao Qiming saw her show such a melancholy and lost expression. He didn't even know who made her sad.
Zhou Haiwen?
But Zhao Qiming felt that all this was meaningless.
It makes no sense.

Returning to the village, Huacui resumed her days of cutting pig grass and feeding the pigs every day. She lay lazily in the thin quilt and refused to get up. Zhao Qiming was no longer in the house. He always got up earlier than the chickens.
"Ah, what happened?" Li Guifang's loud voice sounded in the yard.
Huacui pricked up her ears, what's wrong?
Li Guifang: "Why are you bleeding again? Is it serious?"
"Mom, I'm fine, I just accidentally did it." Zhao Qiming's voice came next, and his tone was a little unnatural.
Hua Cui understood, she couldn't understand any more. Zhao Qiming got up early to change the dressing, and then he was unlucky enough to be seen by Li Guifang.
Her face felt hot, and her skin became thinner.
Not only Huacui, but also Zhao Qiming did not expect that the trouble last night would cause the wound on his lower abdomen that had finally begun to scab to burst open again.
Hua Cui asked him how his wound was last night, but she just blushed and said it was fine and said it didn't hurt.
In the yard, Li Guifang was still scolding: "How could you be careless and end up like this? How many times have I told you to take good care of yourself, take good care of yourself, you are so..."
The rest of the words were suddenly silenced.
Li Guifang probably suddenly realized what happened last night. She coughed strategically and said tactfully: "No matter what, you still need to exercise moderation."
Zhao Qiming was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to bury himself, and muttered "Yeah" vaguely.
"It's your sister's birthday in a few days." Li Guifang quickly changed the topic and mentioned Zhao Qilan. She had a lot of complaints to express, "I think she just doesn't have me as a mother in her heart, and she doesn't have this family. The mother wants to meet her. I have to ask again and again.”
"The second sister is also busy with work and has no time"
"Humph, it's a hard and tiring job, what can't she give up!"
Regarding the conflict between his second sister and his own mother, Zhao Qiming knew very well that both of them were hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and no amount of persuasion from others would be of any use.
"Second sister is celebrating her birthday. It's hard to come back. Please don't say such disappointing things."
Li Guifang looked worried, but fortunately she didn't say anything more and just gave up with a snort.
As time goes by, the death flag of the original person who died suddenly during the busy farming season was unknowingly shattered. After the busy farming season was over, the labor pressure in the fields was much lessened. To celebrate, the village invited an opera troupe to perform every year.
Last year I sang in the fourth team, and this year it’s the fifth team’s turn.
"If you want to join in the fun, just tell me early so that I can fry some pumpkin seeds for you to use as snacks during the show." After saying "you", Li Guifang stared at Huacui.
Huacui was dissatisfied: "I don't want pumpkin seeds. It's not easy to crush them. I want to crush melon seeds."
Preferably creamed sunflower seeds, she added mentally.
"Not at home."
"Then go buy it."
"Are you going? I'm not going anyway."
Huacui waved her hand dejectedly: "Forget it, sunflower seeds are not worth it."
"Pumpkin seeds taste delicious only if you don't know how to eat them yourself."
Hua Cui pursed her lips and made no reply. She rolled her eyes and started to find fault again: "How come the troupe is singing in the fifth team? It's so far away. It's obvious that our team has the most talents. It's not fair at all."
"Forget it, you're too lazy. Why don't you find someone to carry you over?"
Hua Cui stared at Li Guifang longingly, her face as thick as a city wall: "Hey, is it really okay? I have no objection."
Li Guifang: "."
