This year’s New Year is later than usual. After the beginning of spring, Hua Cui promised Hua Song to accompany her back to Qingshan Village after the beginning of spring. Although Zhao Qiming heard it with his own ears, he still couldn’t believe it in his heart.
The next few days went by as usual, and Hua Cui really seemed to have forgotten the incident. Even though Zhao Qiming had thought that this would be the case, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Fu Ji was lucky. After lunch, Hua Cui started packing her luggage and clothes. Zhao Qiming stood there dumbly and was glared at by her.
"You won't leave?"
Go, of course, but he didn't expect that Hua Cui really planned to return to Qingshan Village. Zhao Qiming's heart was crushed by her and soaked in sugar water.
"Can I..." He thought about his words and said slowly, "Can I hug you?"
Hua Cui looked at him strangely, and Zhao Qiming's ears burned red. He knew that this request came out of nowhere.
Zhao Qiming quickly added, "It's a hug as a friend and neighbor."
Huacui: "Oh."
Hua Cui didn't feel much. She reached out and hugged Zhao Qiming. It was a fleeting but extremely warm hug. She threw her luggage to him and said, "Hurry up and pack away!"
"Okay."
Zhao Qiming moved quickly. Although he thought it might be a joke, people can't be 100% rational. Before going to bed every night, he would fantasize about what he would prepare if the two of them went back, so he packed up extremely quickly.
After all, I have gone through what I should bring and what I need to bring countless times in my mind, and I have covered everything.
Hua Cui still remembers that the first time she took the train from Qingshan Village to the capital, it took a day and a half. A few years later, when she went back, it only took less than a day. She really didn’t know whether to say that time flew by faster or that the train was faster.
It is still the familiar small county town in my memory. It seems that nothing has changed. The road conditions in Qingshan Village have improved. It is wider and smoother. A few people took a small truck back to the village. Among the companions, there was an aunt and uncle who was looking at it curiously. Hua Cui, but no one recognized her even though she was from a different village.
Some people asked her out of curiosity, and Zhao Qiming came forward to answer for her. He said that he was here to visit relatives and wanted to ask more questions carefully. Zhao Qiming smiled and vaguely refused to reveal more. After several times, those people also saw that he did not want to know more. He said that he had no choice but to give up, his eyes still full of inquiry.
As for Hua Cui, perhaps she was timid about being close to home. She covered half of her face with a scarf from the moment she got in the car, revealing only a pair of clear black and white eyes. She regretted in her heart that she should not have agreed to go back to Qingshan Village on impulse.
Will Li Guifang be shocked when she sees her?
"Don't worry." Perhaps seeing Huacui's gloominess along the way, Zhao Qiming comforted him softly, "Mom won't blame you. You did nothing wrong and you shouldn't feel burdened."
She was absent-minded along the way, and even Zhao Qiming felt unspeakable self-blame. The joy of returning home was diluted, and he reflected on whether he was too selfish... So what if he comes back, what if he doesn't come back?
Zhao Qiming cannot forgive anyone or anything that makes her feel embarrassed, especially when that person is herself.
"Cui Cui, if you don't like it, then we won't go back, okay? It's not too late to leave now."
Hua nodded when she sang. Although she was very reluctant to leave Qingshan Village, she still wanted her mother to be happy. Her mother was the most beautiful when she smiled!
She is prettier than other mothers!
Hua Cui held her chin and thought for a while, whether the two of them were deliberately showing weakness or sincerely thinking about her, she knew it in her heart, but they had come
Hua Cui took a deep breath: "Let's go, we have already arrived at the entrance of the village!"
Li Guifang treated her like her own daughter and did not feel sorry for her in any way. Hua Cui did not suffer from emotional deficiencies, so she could not remain indifferent to her feelings.
If she really had no feelings for people, she wouldn't be so entangled and awkward when she came back this time.
When she walked to the door, Hua Cui saw Li Guifang sitting in the yard peeling beans from a distance. She kept moving her hands without raising her head. She excitedly called out "Grandma" when she sang, and then she belatedly looked up and looked out.
This was an incredible sight. She was dumbfounded on the spot. She even wondered if she was confused and hallucinating?
".Little Cuicui?"
Huacui was far away and couldn't hear who she was calling. She was a little embarrassed and followed Zhao Qiming awkwardly, staring at people without blinking.
Li Guifang was also looking at her. She was paler and fatter than when she left. She had a fluffy red scarf around her neck, looking festive and cute like a New Year doll.
Zhao Qiming said: "Mom, we are back."
The corners of Li Guifang's mouth moved, not knowing what to say, "Come in first, why are you just standing there?"
"Okay."
"When did you come back?"
“I arrived at the county seat at noon and took a ride back directly.”
Li Guifang nodded, and Hua Cui sat obediently behind Zhao Qiming. She said nothing, and she and Hua Song glanced back and forth without knowing what they were communicating.
Li Guifang's eyes unconsciously drifted to Hua Cui, and she laughed angrily when she saw her little action.
I haven’t seen him for several years, but he still looks the same and looks different.
Li Guifang said: "You've calculated your time well. It's just before dinner, and I have to cook right away. If you come back a little later, you won't have your share."
Huacui whispered: "What are you eating today?"
"What do you want to eat?"
Hua Cui raised her eyelids and secretly looked at Li Guifang's expression. She seemed quite calm? She felt a little more reassured.
"I want to eat roasted pig's trotters."
Li Guifang: "..."
Li Guifang: "No, where can I get roasted pig's trotters for you now?"
Huacui bit her mouth and said, "That's great."
“Do you want to eat braised pork?”
"Eat!"
Huacui straightened her back immediately, tilted her head slightly and looked at the person with a smile. She seemed to have returned to the days when she acted cute and begged for food in front of Li Guifang.
With this kind of smile that is "appropriate for all ages", she coaxed Li Guifang to secretly do a lot of tricks for her.
While it was still early, Zhao Qiming went to clean up the room he was staying in. The room had not been occupied for a while. Although it was not dusty yet, the mattresses should still be washed and changed.
Zhao Qiming himself didn't care, as he could sleep on a bed, but Huacui was different. Zhao Qiming didn't want to make do with it and wanted to arrange it as well as possible to make her sleep more comfortable.
Li Guifang was busy cooking for the whole family in the kitchen. The rest of the family was still working in the fields and had not returned. Hua Cui walked around the front and back of the house alone and found that nothing much had changed, it was the same as before.
After she finished her walk, she sneaked into the kitchen, where Li Guifang was cooking. She quietly sat down in front of the stove. She didn't know how well-behaved she was, and even took the initiative to add a few pieces of firewood to the stove.
"Is the fire enough?"
Li Guifang looked at her: "That's enough. If it gets bigger, it will be burnt."
"Oh..."
Hua Cui stared at her eagerly. Li Guifang was concentrating on cooking without looking at her. Hua Cui was not discouraged and continued to stare, it didn't hurt her eyes anyway.
In terms of being thick-skinned and not being shy, Li Guifang couldn't compete with her, so she was defeated in the end. She took out a few potatoes from the warehouse and threw them over.
"Here, bake it yourself."
It was like this before. When Li Guifang was cooking, Hua Cui liked to follow her around. Even if there was no "tasting", Li Guifang would give her a few potatoes and let her simmer them in firewood ashes until they were cooked and eat them as snacks.
Hua Cui nodded with a smile and skillfully simmered the potatoes. She was picky, but the potatoes simmered in this way had a unique flavor.
After a while, Li Guifang suddenly asked: "How have you been living outside these years?"
"It's pretty good."
"That's good."
Li Guifang sighed slightly, unable to express her feelings in her heart, "How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time? Do you plan to celebrate the New Year at home?"
"Yeah."
"That's good. They're all back. There are many people and it's lively." Li Guifang didn't say anything else. "By the way, you haven't seen Lili's child yet, have you? I went out to play with Niu Niu today. You can see her when she comes back." , called Qingqing.”
Hua Cui clasped her fingers and thought, her sister-in-law Chen Lili had not yet given birth when she left, but now the child can run and jump.
"When will they come back?"
"It's almost time."
As soon as he finished speaking, children's screams came from outside the house. Several children were not excited to meet, especially when they saw Song Shi came back. Niu Niu was extremely excited. Huacui came out of the kitchen and happened to see Niuniu with her back to her. She was holding a little girl who was a head shorter than her in her left hand. This must be Qingqing.
She shouted: "Niuniu."
Eh? Niu Niu turned her head strangely, and then her eyes widened. Chen Lili, who came in later, saw Hua Cui with the same expression of surprise and disbelief.
The expressions of mother and daughter were unusually synchronized, and only Qingqing didn't know what was going on.
Well, Hua Cui thought helplessly, her sudden return was quite surprising.
The whole Zhao family treats her well, but if she is given another chance, she will still leave. There is no doubt about this. If she didn't have everything now, she would not think of returning to Qingshan Village.
"Sister-in-law, long time no see."
"Cui Cui, you came back with... your third brother?"
"Yes, Xiaocui said she misses you, so I will bring her back to celebrate the New Year if I have time."
Chen Lili nodded to express her understanding. Hua Cui did not come back empty-handed this time. Zhao Qiming was thoughtful and prepared gifts for everyone in the family.
Especially the few children, after distributing the gifts, they instantly became Huacui's little followers. Qingqing was not afraid of strangers and followed Huacui one by one as a "sister".
Zhao Fuguo and the eldest brother of the Zhao family waited until dark before returning. They were equally stunned when they saw Hua Cui sitting obediently at the dinner table. However, Li Guifang didn't say anything, and they didn't know what to say. They exchanged a few words and then gave up.
The meal was extremely harmonious.
At noon the next day, the news that Huacui was back spread throughout the village. Some people who had nothing to do came to visit. As soon as Huacui ate melon seeds, she was honest and answered whatever was asked.
For example, some people are curious and ask, how is life in the capital? Do you make a lot of money?
No matter what the man was thinking, Hua Cui looked at him with a smile and replied: "Yes, I have so much money that I have no place to spend it. I'm almost bored to death."
The man's expression froze and he walked away dejectedly. Li Guifang originally wanted to go up and help her with a few words, but when she saw this scene, she understood: Huacui could conquer the whole village by herself, and there was no need for her at all.
After this new year, it was time for Hua Songshi to put on her schoolbag and go to school. One of the reasons why Lin Yuchun stayed in the capital to develop was to make it easier to take care of her.
Although the Zhao family is good, Hua Cui will not stay in the village. She comes back just to accompany Song Shi, which does not mean anything.
As for where Zhao Qiming will go after the end of this year, she will not interfere.
After pounding a plate of melon seeds, the people who came to Zhao's house to "visit" dispersed. Huacui was about to call it a day when an unexpected person came to her.
"Sister Keran? Why are you here?"
Zhou Keran gathered up her windbreaker and smiled gently: "I heard that you are back, and I thought about stopping by to have a look."
Although Hua Cui and Zhou Keran have not been in frequent contact over the years, they have exchanged letters and said hello on holidays several times. Just like the original work, this large area is now under her control.
Zhou Keran has an excellent reputation among the masses, and everyone is willing to trust her.
After all, she is the heroine, and Hua Cui is in awe of her: "If I had known you were coming, I should have prepared a pot of good tea."
"There is no need for these. I just came to see you." She raised her eyebrows, not forgetting her other purpose of coming this time. "You and the third child of the Zhao family, you..."
Hua Cui did not expect that the heroine would be so concerned about her love life. She shook her head and said, "I just accompanied Xiao Cui back to the village to have a look. I will go back after the new year. It has not reached that point yet."
"That's right." Zhou Keran nodded, and the smile on his face deepened.
It seems that some people still need to work harder.
Zhou Keran was happy to hear this.
It was rare for a guy like Zhou Haiwen, who was proud of his talent, to see him depressed. As his cousin who grew up together, she felt...pleased.
"Cuicui, tomorrow is a nice day. I still owe you a meal last time. How about I treat you tomorrow?"
Huacui was chasing the big goose that suddenly slipped out of the fence. When she heard this, she turned around with a smile and gestured OK. She smiled heartlessly: "Okay!"
Yes, it should be nice weather tomorrow.
