Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

The house was not big enough, so there was only one sleeping room with two beds separated by a board. There was only one board separating my adoptive father's room from mine.

For the first time in his life, Guan Jianguo felt that his house was too small and it was inconvenient to do anything.

Since it is inconvenient to do anything, I might as well do nothing. The quilt cover on the outside of the quilt has long been gray and is in a mess, but the quilt inside is made of white and high-quality cotton. Although the quilt has been used for several years, its warmth-keeping effect is still so good that Guan Jianguo is sweating all over.

There were originally two quilts on the bed when I went to bed, but later it gradually became one, and in the end there was no one quilt left.

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep at all. Guan Jianguo, who usually had good sleep quality, finally experienced what insomnia was.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and his mind was full of the image of Tan Yuan suddenly leaning forward to kiss him, her watery eyes looking at him, her soft lips. He didn't know what she was using on her body, it didn't smell like the vanishing cream that everyone used, it was sweet and fragrant, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

The soft touch made my nose feel hot just thinking about it. My whole body was so stiff, as if it was about to explode. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep at all. As soon as I closed my eyes, all I could see was her shadow, and my breathing became heavier.

There was no time to wait until dawn. Guan Jianguo needed to calm down, so he simply went up the mountain and waited at someone's door early in the morning. He had to find an excuse.

I am not afraid of being talked about by others. Anyway, I have been talked about a lot since I was a child, but Tan Yuan is different.

To resist the urge to climb over the wall to see her, Guan Jianguo leaned against the door and waited. He didn't know how long he waited before he heard movement from inside the door.

She's apologizing, she's talking, she's laughing...

Every movement could touch his heart. It seemed like a long time had passed before the door finally opened. He saw the person inside. She was standing in front of him. She was not an imagination, but a living person. She was smiling at him and talking to him. Guan Jianguo's body, which had felt a little cold because of his thin clothes, suddenly became hot again.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, fearing that his excessive enthusiasm would scare her, and even spoke carefully.

It was even more amusing that a tall and strong man would have such a day. Tan Yuan thought it was even more amusing and couldn't help but want to tease him.

"What do you think of what I said yesterday?"

Those who are reborn must have their own cards. It must be the other party who confesses first, but the initiative must be firmly in their own hands, and the rhythm must also be controlled by themselves. Yesterday's embarrassing thing happened, and this is only allowed to happen once in this life!

Tan Yuan swore silently and tried hard to fulfill her oath. The face of the person in front of her turned red again. This made Tan Yuan feel like she was teasing a decent man. This feeling was so wonderful that it made people intoxicated. No wonder men like to indulge in teasing decent women so much. Just for the embarrassment of blushing, it was all worth it.

However, times are different now, and we can only experience this kind of happiness in private. If we molest women we don't know on the street, we will be imprisoned for a few days at best, and even shot at worst.

Tan Yuan thought so and felt secretly happy. She saw the educated youths' site next door coming in and out. Many people looked in their direction. Although they didn't say anything, they just smiled and greeted her. However, Tan Yuan knew very well that gossip was everyone's nature, especially in Shu, where gossip was even more prevalent!

"Come in first, there are so many people watching."

Obviously, these were normal words, but to Guan Jianguo, they sounded a little different, as if she was acting coquettishly to him, so charming and lovely.

My heart, which had finally calmed down, was in turmoil again, and I followed Tan Yuan's words and went in.

Tan Yuan was stunned, her eyes fixed on the large bundle of firewood by the door. What was going on? Were they going to ask a weak woman like her to move it?

Men do need training. Men who have not been trained are not what one wants.

Guan Jianguo realized it later. After entering, he turned around and saw where Tan Yuan was pointing. Coupled with her incredible look, he felt even more embarrassed.

"Oh oh oh, I'll come, I'll come."

He quickly went out to move firewood.

People passing by outside could only feel sympathy: Comrade Guan Jianguo is so pitiful. He has a sick old father at home. He has to spend all his wages on his medical treatment and medicine, and he has to take time to go back to the brigade to help chop wood to earn extra money. It is really pitiful. He is such a grown-up, but he can't even get married.

Everyone shook their heads. They were all educated youth, so they naturally didn't know that Guan Jianguo had no marriage arrangements because of his background. The people in the brigade felt that he might be purged at any time, so they naturally didn't want their daughters to suffer with him. If he was really purged, their in-laws would naturally be implicated.

They only knew that, not to mention in the Huaiyin Brigade, even in the entire Shu area, and if the scope was expanded to the whole country, there was no one in the countryside who was over 20 and still unengaged, except for those who could not afford to eat or those whose boys had problems themselves, let alone Guan Jianguo who was over 20.

Only oneself or one's companions know the sympathy of the crowd. Anyway, the key point is that An and Tan Yuan are both completely clueless.

After closing the door, there were only two of them left, instead of many people passing by. Tan Yuan felt relieved that she didn't have the habit of being stared at by others. She didn't have the habit of being peeped at.

Guan Jianguo was just the opposite. He became even more nervous. When he was moving the firewood, he had something to do with his hands but it didn't show. But as soon as he finished moving the firewood, his nervousness was revealed. He didn't move at all, like a piece of wood standing straight.

Tan Yuan chuckled. "Why? How much is this bundle of firewood? Ten cents?"

She just thought it was interesting and was teasing him on purpose. Guan Jianguo now was completely different from when they first met, but it was this contrast that made Tan Yuan feel that the person in front of her was even more interesting.

"No...no...I don't want money, I...I just..."

"You usually speak fluently, so why are you stuttering today? Let me tell you, I don't like stuttering at all. It makes communication difficult."

Tan Yuan felt that she was now a playboy in the old society, and Guan Jianguo was a pitiful little wretch.

She was laughing so happily that Grandma Wang, who was about to come out to lighten the mood, paused with her hand on the door. These two young people, they seem to be quite interesting...

I haven't felt so much fun in a long time. One is my granddaughter, and the other is a young man I like very much. Watching my descendants grow up, I naturally have nothing to worry about.

He moved back to sit by the window, looking at the two people outside through the small gap in the window, and the smile in his wise eyes could not be wiped away.
