Back to the Countryside

"Dong dong dong" three times, the door was knocked again.

Qi Yue looked up, thinking that He Zhen came back to say something, he slowly put the purse into his sleeve, and then opened the door, saying: "Brother He, I'm very busy today, you still……"

He Ling stood outside the door, holding a basket in his hand. Hearing what he said, he took a step back uneasy, "I... did I disturb you?"

The expression on Qi Yue's face became a little gentler, and his voice became softer, "Of course not, but do you need my help?"

He Ling shook his head, hesitated for a while, and then handed him the basket, "I'm here to change the basket, and... thank you for treating me!"

He also got a better understanding of the specific situation that day in He Zhen's chat with them. He had already been to Lin Sheng's house just now, and when he came out, he saw He Zhen was at the door of Qi Yue's house, so he didn't dare to come over. When he saw him leave When it was far away, I came to knock on the door.

"It's all in the village, and those things should be done!" Qi Yue reached out to take the basket, saw that it was covered with a piece of cloth, and then opened it. Inside was a layer of oil paper, and there were some beautifully squeezed small buns. The white flour is still used, and it is very finely made. "This is?"

He Ling's cheeks were flushed, making his whole face extraordinarily gorgeous, very attractive!He didn't have much money, the only private house he had was the New Year's money given by his grandmother when he was young, and he secretly hid some money so that He Zhen and the others didn't snatch it away, and kept it until now.

Yesterday he asked an aunt who knew his mother well to bring him some flour and pork when he went to the city, and today he avoided the family to make some meat buns.He had already sent it to Lin Sheng's house just now, because they are all from the village, and they pay attention to the real thing. They made a big, white and fat bun with a lot of fat meat, and it tasted delicious after one bite!

The ones for Qi Yue should be more particular. He doesn't lack any oil and water, but he mostly uses lean meat. Each bun is small and delicate, and one can be eaten in two bites.

"I'm sorry, this is all I can give you!" He Ling's two hands were tightly squeezed together. The other party must have eaten more exquisite and expensive food, but these are the only thank you gifts he can give.

Seeing the other party's blushing face in embarrassment, Qi Yue smiled gently. He reached out and took out a bun from the basket, and ate it in two bites, "It's delicious!"

Seeing him eating one in front of his face, he definitely didn't dislike it. He Ling relaxed a little, and his expression softened a lot. The slightly raised eyes that looked at him seemed to contain special affection.

"He Ling!" I don't know if he was bewitched, but Qi Yue said unbelievable words to him, "How about I marry you?"

He Ling's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, "Eh?"

Qi Yue was also a little surprised by what he said, but he didn't regret it. At this moment, such thoughts really filled his mind!He put down the basket in his hand, took two steps forward, grabbed the slender hand of the man in front of him and held it in his own, "I'll marry you as Frank, okay?"

If you marry him back, he will not be randomly thrown in a dark room when he is sick, and you don't have to let go of his helpless hand to avoid suspicion, and let him cry in your sleep.

He wants to wear the best-fitting clothes for him, eat the finest food, and sleep on the softest bed. He wants to give him enough confidence, instead of being cautious about giving things to others as he is now.

He would also wonder, how could he be obsessed with someone he hadn't seen or talked to a lot?

Suddenly, I had the idea of ​​retiring, fell in love with this village, saw this person, and moved my heart that I had never moved before, but he was not married, and he was not married...

He thinks it's fate, it's destiny!

He Ling was held by him in a daze, not knowing how to react, the first time he could have misheard, but what about the second time?But, how could it be me?He is so good, even a rich lady can marry him!

Seeing his blank look, Qi Yue raised his other hand and stroked his cheek...

He Ling seemed to be awakened suddenly, he took a step back to avoid his hand, and wanted to pull out the hand that was held by him, but Qi Yue clasped his hand tightly and would not let him go, He Ling was a little anxious, and increased his strength to struggle "Let go...let me go, people will see me!"

"What's the matter if you see it?" Qi Yue didn't care, and the other party's little strength naturally couldn't break him away.

Hearing what he said, He Ling was even more anxious. There are some good people in the village who can spread all kinds of bad words, which will definitely ruin Qi Yue's reputation!And he...he was a little at a loss, and didn't know how to face him!

Because of struggling to break free, He Ling's hands were a little red, and his eyes were clouded with mist.

Qi Yue looked a little distressed, so he slowly withdrew his strength, watched him pull out his hand and backed away, and finally looked at him helplessly, then ran away in panic!

"I'll give you a time to escape temporarily, but you can't let me wait too long!" Qi Yue stared at his back as he left in a hurry, his eyes gradually deepened, like a beast staring at its prey.

He Ling returned home in a panic. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Qian Shi and He Zhen sitting in the yard. He was startled and stopped walking, "Auntie, cousin."

Qian's originally smiling face pulled down as soon as she saw him, "What are you doing in such a hurry?! It's almost noon and I'm coming back. Don't cook anymore?!"

"Yes... I'm sorry!" He Ling didn't dare to lift his head, for fear that the other party would see something from his flushed face.

"Okay, okay, hurry up!!" Seeing him impatiently, Qian waved him away.

He Ling didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he turned around and walked to the kitchen, doing something now would be a distraction.

"Zhen'er, since this boy Qi has accepted your purse, he must have thoughts about you in his heart. If you get close to him later, it will be done!"

"Well, I know, I'll look for him tomorrow!"

The conversation between the two people in the yard was heard in the ears, He Ling stopped walking, and then hurried into the kitchen.

He picked up some firewood from the corner, squatted in front of the stove, and stuffed the firewood into the stove one by one, but his heart was in a mess.

Qi Yue didn't know the meaning of sending the purse, so he accepted it?Or know it but accept it?If he didn't know, but he accepted it, even if he didn't know clearly, if he knew...

He Ling's action of putting firewood slowed down. If he knew, what did the words he said to himself mean?Perhaps, he was thinking too much, and he just said those words, without much intention?But Qi Yue doesn't seem like that kind of frivolous person... Then, do I think he has intentions or no intentions?

The firewood in his hand fell to the ground, he held his hot cheeks, and his heart became more and more flustered. At that moment, he actually hoped that what Qi Yue said was true? !He wants to marry him? !

He Ling hugged his knees and buried his face in it. He felt that he was going to burn. How could he have such a shameful thought? !

Qi Yue was driving the carriage, and he saw Lin Sheng walking up and down at the door of his house from a long distance away, as if he had been waiting for him for a while, he shook the rein and let Mu Yan trot up to him, "Brother Lin? "

When Lin Sheng saw him, he came up to meet him, saw his dusty appearance, and said, "Have you gone to town?"

"Well, the food at home is almost gone!" Qi Yue jumped out of the car, stepped forward and unlocked the door, "What do you want me to do?"

"Let's go in and talk about it!" Lin Sheng's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't say anything, first helping him pull the carriage in.

"There are guests here, Qi Yue is not in a hurry to unload things, he simply washed his hands, then boiled water to make a pot of tea, and invited him to sit down in the main room.

Lin Sheng poured a cup of tea in, stared at him seriously and said, "You really like He Zhen that much?"

Qi Yue gave him a hand to refill the tea, then filled it up for him calmly, and put down the teapot, "Why does Brother Lin make such remarks again? I think I have already said that I am not interested in this little brother He. "

"Don't like him?" Lin Sheng was full of disbelief, "You still accept his purse if you don't like him? That's a thing for a girl to express her love to a man!"

Qi Yue took a sip of his tea, "How did Brother Lin know that?"

When he asked this question, Lin Sheng was sure that the matter was true, and immediately he had a look of resentment, "With He Zhen's character, of course the whole village knows about it!"

Compared with his excitement, Qi Yue was more calm and composed, "Give someone a purse, but do you want to embroider it yourself?"

"Of course, otherwise, what's the point!" Seeing his godlike presence, Lin Sheng felt even more angry. Don't be a short-sighted brother, right?I told him that He Zhen is unreliable, and the He family is even more unreliable, why don't you listen, who is not good to like?

Seeing what he was thinking at a glance, Qi Yue smiled, and reached out to touch the purse hanging on his waist, "Then this, he gave me for someone else!"

"Other people? What other people?" Lin Sheng couldn't understand what he was talking about. With He Zhen's thoughts on him, how could he send things for others?

"Brother Lin!" Qi Yue raised his head and looked at him with serious eyes, "At the beginning you said that if I had someone I liked, you would ask Aunt Lin to kiss me, does that still count?"

"Of course it counts! But..." Lin Sheng thought it was a bad move, and he wanted to propose to He Zhen!

"Then trouble Auntie to pick a date and go to He's house!" Qi Yue paused for a while, seeing Lin Sheng's expression getting more and more entangled, he said with a smile: "Go for me, Xiang He Ling Please!"

"What?! He Ling? Did you just say He Ling?!" Lin Sheng's eyes almost fell out. Is there something wrong with his ears or something? !

"Yes, He Ling, I am happy with him." Qi Yue lowered his eyes, his expression softened a bit.

"You to him... oh~ I said how did you agree so readily when He Zhen asked you to go to see a doctor, and you didn't charge for the medicine! You also gave him a handkerchief to wipe his face. By the way, he was at that time When you grabbed your hand, you didn't break away! It turns out that you, you have thought about it a long time ago!" Lin Sheng was really surprised and delighted, and he never thought that this kid liked He Ling, "Then The other person you mentioned just now is He Ling?"

"Yeah." Qi Yue nodded, "I saw a half-embroidered purse in his room during the consultation."

That's why he accepted it because it was embroidered by He Ling. Lin Sheng finally understood, so He Zhen...wasn't she lying, it wasn't what he embroidered at all!

"I'm relieved that you like He Ling, but... those people in his family may be a little difficult!"

Qi Yue raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "Didn't Mrs. Qian say that as long as you give 30 taels of engagement silver, you can marry He Ling? Of course I can!"

"It's true!" Lin Sheng nodded, she said such a thing, He Ling is not too young now, he can't go back on his word and throw his face on the ground!

Qi Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip, a dark light flashed in his lowered eyes, if the other party didn't believe what he said, he wouldn't mind using some tricks.
