Chapter 762: There is a Beloved Husband at Home (21)
"Got it!"
There were still people in the wheat field, but the road home was completely dark, with no light at all. I could only walk back by feeling in the sparse moonlight.
Jiang Tang has good eyesight and can walk without any problems in the dark.
When I got home, the yard was dark. Not to mention the rice, even the pot was cold.
Jiang Tang walked to the side room and took a look. He looked inside from the window and saw it was pitch black.
No one was inside.
After spending so many days together, Jiang Tang knew that as long as it was night, the candle in this side room would not go out and would stay burning until dawn.
Candles are very expensive this year, so most people just light them for a while while eating to avoid sticking chopsticks into their noses.
But Gu Chao obviously didn't like the dark, so he bought a dozen candles from the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's almost half past eight now.
Educated youths don't have much work to do. Although they are tired from the work, they can finish it before seven o'clock as long as they are not lazy.
Gu Chao went to the educated youth housing in the afternoon, and she knew about it.
But according to Ding Xiaoxia’s big mouth, they returned to the wheat field at two o’clock.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tang put down his sickle and hat, found a candle from the cupboard, lit it, placed it on the candlestick, and walked out of the yard with it.
It's only one mile from Jiang Tang's home to the wheat field. It can be reached by walking in ten minutes.
There are dense wild grasses on both sides of the path, which are much taller than people. As the evening wind blows, there is a rustling sound and the black swaying.
There was no peace in my ears either. The frogs in the river and the insects in the grass mixed together, making it even noisier than during the day.
On the way, I met the neighbor's aunt and asked Jiang Tang what he was doing. Jiang Tang casually said that he was going to Qiancun to do something.
When we arrived at the wheat field, there were no people in the field except for a few young adults carrying the wheat onto the tractor.
Not finding anyone, Jiang Tang was a little confused.
Did he go to the educated youth room again? The tractor drove away, leaving only Jiang Tang standing alone in the empty and dark wheat field, holding a candlestick.
The Educated Youth House is three or four miles away from here, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth. If Gu Chao went to the Educated Youth House, he probably wouldn't be back tonight.
Forget it and go back.
Let's eat some steamed buns at night, just for dinner.
She also wanted to boil a large pot of water and take a bath, but after being tired all day, this was the only thought she had left.
On the way back, Jiang Tang wanted to hurry up, so he took a shortcut back.
The candlelight was dim, illuminating a small area. Jiang Tang could only see the area illuminated by the candlelight. He lowered his head and walked quickly. There was a small river next to him. A large reed in the river was swaying, and it was gray. It was as if the river had opened its mouth and looked strange.
Jiang Tang found that he had become a lot more courageous. He didn't dare to walk at night before, but now he was taking a small road alone, bumping under his feet. Not only was he not afraid, he even wanted to stop and enjoy the night breeze.
The path was uneven, and there were many hard stones, some of which always rolled to his feet. Jiang Tang kicked them as he walked, and then only heard a thud.
It feels wrong underfoot.
Jiang Tang frowned slightly, why did he kick something soft?
Holding the candlestick and looking down, he saw a person sitting in a grass nest on the roadside.
Me, day? !
Where the hell is this person sitting here?
Motionless!
Jiang Tang had more than a dozen thoughts in his mind and called out softly in a low voice.
"What are you doing sitting here?"
Suddenly, the figure moved, and the lowered head slowly raised up.
Under the dim candlelight, Jiang Tang saw a fair and beautiful face, and a pair of eyes that were always moist and clean. The ends of the eyes were raised, slightly red, and the long eyelashes were slightly trembling.
