Think childish

Qiushui is relatively empty this time, and originally planned to stay at Gu Jia's place for a few more days to relax, but she never expected that she and Qiao Zhi would make rapid progress and be together this time.Qiao Zhi is a busy person, and this trip was in a hurry. There were many things in the company that had not been explained to her and were waiting for her to go back to deal with them. Qiu Shui was reluctant to part with her, and finally decided to go back to Beijing with her ahead of schedule.

They stayed with Gu Jia for a total of five days. On the fifth day, when the weather was fine, Gu Jia dug out two fishing rods from the storeroom, and Fei took Qiushui to go fishing with her in the Yantang.

The weir pond was contracted by Gu Jia and his neighbor Uncle Chen. They raised some fish and often sold them in the county. Sometimes fishmongers would come to collect the fish directly, which was an important source of income for the family.

The two of them were leaving early tomorrow morning. Qiu Shui originally wanted to take this opportunity to take Qiao Zhi to the nearby mountains to have a look, but he couldn't resist Gu Jia, so he had to put on a straw hat and a fishing rod to accompany her to go fishing.

Qiao Zhi was afraid that she would get sunburnt, so she took out a thin coat from the suitcase before leaving and asked her to put it on. Qiu Shui put it on obediently, and whispered in her ear, "If I get sunburned, why don't you wear it?" like me?"

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Since the two officially got together, Qiu Shui has been like a child for the past few days, always asking her some childish and ridiculous questions. At first, Qiao Zhi thought she was cute, but now she is used to it. He put the straw hat on her head and said, "I like you even when you are sunburnt."

It was obviously a perfunctory sentence, but Qiu Shui was happy as if he had received some guarantee, and immediately took off his coat: "Then don't wear this thing—"

"No way!" Qiao Zhi stared wide-eyed, and pulled her clothes tighter angrily, "I'll throw you into the fireplace when you're about to burn into charcoal, so that you can shine and make the best use of everything."

Qiu Shui pouted, and winked at her reluctantly: "It's so hot outside..."

Qiao Zhi was arranging her collar, and when she heard this, she became angry, turned to Gu Jia and glared, "So why do you have to go fishing in such a hot day?"

Gu Jia: "..."

???

"Hmph! Daughter-in-law, let's go!" Gu Jia quickly picked up the small bucket, pulled Guoguo and ran away angrily.

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Qiu Shui let out a "puchi" laugh, and when she had had enough, she coaxed her, "Hey, it's hot and you have to control your emotions, let's go, let's play with Uncle Gu for a while, and we should pay her back."

"Oh." Qiao Zhi sullenly and obediently was dragged away by Qiu Shui.

Simply put, there was a row of poplar trees planted beside the weir pond, which barely covered the sun. Qiao Zhi waited and found a place with wider shade and pulled her to sit down. Five or six steps away was Gu Jia. He Guoguo.

Gu Jia and the others arrived first, and had already set up the fishing rod rack, proudly said: "Daughter-in-law, take out our secret weapon, Xiuxiu."

Guoguo couldn't help but patted her, took out a small box from the tool box, opened it, and it was full of freshly dug earthworms.

Gu Jia hung up the bait, threw the line out, and said to Guoguo, "Look, I'll catch some big fish for you and bring them up for dinner!"

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Qiu Shui set up the fishing rod holder, sat down leisurely, and planned to take a nap as soon as the straw hat was buckled.Qiao Zhi asked her, "Where's your bait?"

Qiu Shui put his finger on the brim of his hat, squinted at the side and said, "Uncle Gu choked on you, and you still expect her to share the bait with us?"

Qiao's childish eyes widened even further: "The co-author is now we rush to accompany her to go fishing?"

Qiu Shui seemed to think that her puffing her beard and staring at her eyes was amusing, and then teased her: "It's okay, Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait, anyway, we are not interested, so let's sit here with her for a while. "

Qiao Zhi didn't answer, and stared angrily at the Yantang for a while, then glared at Gu Jia again, not knowing what to think, and suddenly said: "I'll get you bait!"

"Ah, ah?" Qiu Shui didn't realize the direction of the matter, and grabbed her who hurriedly got up, "Where are you going?"

"Shall I go dig you bait?" Qiao Zhi looked at her strangely, "You don't really expect the fish in the weir pond to sacrifice their lives, do you?" After finishing speaking, he beckoned Guoguo over, and the two The man whispered a few words, and then went to the paddy field next to him with the toolbox.

When Qiu Shui met Qiao Zhi when he was young, the latter had already been raised overnight by sudden family changes and matured into a little adult.She was forced to learn to take care of herself, and even those around her; forced to make decisions and take responsibility for every decision she made.

She knew Qiao Zhi who was smart, rational, kind, and even tricked out in the business field, but she had never seen Qiao Zhi who was as innocent as she was in front of her.She felt moved and curious for a moment, and there was almost a strange feeling of numbness in her heart - as if time had flowed backwards, and she suddenly glimpsed what the young Qiao Zhi was like with the appearance and psychology of an adult.

"Hello!" Gu Jia called her, "Why did your wife abduct my wife?"

Qiu Shui looked at the people not far away who were seriously buried in the paddy field, and suddenly felt competitive, and said happily, "Why don't we compare today and see who catches more fish in the end, how about it?"

Gu Jia narrowed her eyes, and a smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Okay! What do you say if you lose?"

Qiu Shui shrugged indifferently: "Whatever!"

"Yes!" Gu Jia excitedly uttered a phrase from his hometown.

……

Qiao Zhi's movements of digging up earthworms looked very skillful and natural. Guoguo looked at her from the side, and couldn't help feeling a little curious in his heart.Sensing her scrutiny, Qiao Zhi explained with a smile: "I used to do this kind of thing when I was a child, but at that time our family lived in the city and there was no such a good natural environment. We usually went to the garbage station to dig. It’s good to dig out a small box.”

Guoguo listened with gusto, and hurriedly asked, "And then?"

"Then?" Qiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed after thinking about it, "Then it's about digging out birds' eggs from a tree, and I've caught these things. I have a child named Xie Xiaoqing, who was greedy when I was a child, but at that time Money is expensive, my family’s conditions are a little better, and I can get seventy or eighty cents a week, but it’s not enough. When we’re hungry, we catch cicadas and roast them, and then we skewer them with Xie Xiaoqing’s mother’s knitting sticks, seven or eight, and roast them. Cook them and share them to satisfy your hunger. But it was summer, and in winter we went to steal sweet potatoes from farmers’ fields outside the city. Once, I accidentally sprained my foot while escaping, and was chased by a big black dog. After walking five miles, I didn't want to take out the two sweet potatoes in my pocket to beat the dog..."

……

Qiao Zhi's memories of her childhood were blurred now, as if it was the memory of another person - the memory of that little girl who was also named Qiao Zhi but was only five or six years old.

Her life was peaceful until she was 13 years old, when she was brutally cut off by fate. She remembered every scene clearly after the age of 13. Only the days before that, when she thinks about it again, she still feels vague and unreal. It seems that it doesn't belong to her, but just grafted from others.

When Qiao Zhi and Guoguo came back after digging for earthworms, there were already three or four medium-sized crucian carp in Gu Jia's bucket, while Qiushui's bucket only had one one-foot-long crucian carp.

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Qiu Shui sat on the stool and hugged her waist and complained: "Those fish seem to have heard what I would say, and they don't run towards me."

Qiao Zhi glanced at the small box with a few earthworms on the ground next to it—the earthworms were all broken, so small that they couldn't even be hooked.

"It's all borrowed from me by Gu Jia." Qiu Shui said.

Qiao Zhi patted her head, and said with color on her face, "We have our own bait, so we don't care about her." Then he said, "Get up, I'll catch."

Qiu Shui quickly gave up his seat to her.

After Qiao Zhi sat down again, she made eye contact with Gu Jia who was next to her, and made a very naive gesture of wiping her neck. Gu Jia said "Hey", and immediately gave her a thumbs up, not to be outdone.

Qiushui and Guoguo looked at me and I looked at you, and they almost died laughing at each other.

Qiu Shui took off his coat and put it on his head, squatting beside him to watch Qiao Zhi fish.It's strange, she's actually a very calm person, but when she's fishing, she can't sit still and gets anxious.On the other hand, Qiao Zhi looked like a master fisherman, as calm as an old monk in meditation.

Not long after Qiao Zhi went into battle, suddenly, tiny ripples appeared where the fishing line entered the water.She picked up the pole with quick eyes and hands, and a grass carp weighing at least one and a half catties was caught by her.

Qiu Shui was dumbfounded.

Qiao Zhi really wanted to keep calm, but she was really happy in her heart, so she was too embarrassed to shout, so she turned her head and kissed Qiu Shui loudly on the mouth.

Gu Jia angrily looked at her daughter-in-law for comfort, Guoguo was about to die of laughter, and also held her face and kissed her.

In the following time, Comrade Qiao Zhi fully demonstrated to everyone how talented she is in fishing—the fish in the bucket are all plump, and the small bucket is almost full .Qiu Shui squatted beside her like a cat waiting to be fed, waiting for Qiao Zhi to kiss her and touch her ears.

The two were originally reluctant to come, but in the end they played happily together.

It was getting late, the bait was used up, and everyone returned with a full load.

The four walked home one after the other, Qiu Shui and Qiao Zhi were a few steps behind Gu Jia and his wife.It was almost dusk, and the distant sky began to be filled with colorful sunsets. The mountain wind hit, and the fields on both sides of the path rolled up golden waves of wheat. The pink and purple light sprinkled on everyone. .

Like a long movie scene, Qiao Zhi stopped suddenly, and Qiu Shui followed her to look over - Gu Jia and Guoguo suddenly stopped and started kissing.

"That's great." Qiao Zhi said, turning her head to look at her.

Qiushui held the bucket in his left hand and led her in his right. His heart had never felt so full of happiness and sweetness.

"I love you baby, no one loves you more than me, I love you..." Qiu Shui lowered his head slightly and kissed her.

Qiao Zhi responded to her kiss and her love with a smile.

The breeze between heaven and earth seemed to be responding to them.

For dinner, Chef Qiao personally made a table of fish, including cold crucian carp, braised crucian carp, steamed crucian carp, crucian carp tofu soup and tomato crucian carp soup.

When the wine was half drunk, Qiao Zhi's old problem occurred, and he began to pull Gu Jia to talk about business: "...you can develop and utilize so many resources here, and the scenery is not bad. The development of tourism is perfect. As long as the government Support, the road to come in is repaired, and the gimmick is played out, so no one will come. Or it can be developed into a holiday villa. My company has a development plan in this regard in the past two years. When you come to Beijing, we can discuss it in detail. !"

Gu Jia was also a little tempted to hear her rambling, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, pouring down a glass of wine, Qiushui and Guoguo couldn't stop them.

When he finally left the table, Qiao Zhi was a little drunk, and was helped back to the room by Qiu Shui and fell on the bed, still thinking about the resort in his mind.

Qiu Shui was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he wanted to wipe her face with a hot towel, but Qiao Zhi refused to let her go, and simply dragged her onto the bed together.

The two lay side by side, and the mountain wind outside the window blew in to dissipate the heat from the room.

Qiao Zhi suddenly pulled Qiu Shui's hand and placed it on her left chest: "Listen, my heart is beating so fast."

Qiu Shui turned his head to look at her, smiled, and suddenly turned over and supported himself on top of her with one hand.

"Listen like this." She said, leaning her ears, resting on her soft chest, she really heard the rapid heartbeat.

"Qiu." Qiao Zhi called her, "Can you let me listen to you too?"

Qiu Shui lay back down again, Qiao Zhi leaned on her chest and listened, then pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Why isn't your heart beating as fast as mine?"

Qiu Shui turned sideways and kissed her on the mouth again and again, and said with sad eyes, "Because I'm about to die."

"Dead?" Qiao Zhi's eyes widened, "Then I'll go with you."

The two looked at each other for a moment and laughed together.

"Childish! It's not funny at all!" Qiao Zhi gnawed at the tip of her nose angrily.

Qiu Shui's heart beat suddenly quickened, and he kissed her in a seductive voice and said, "Hey, you smell like alcohol, shall we take a bath? Take a fragrant bath before going to bed."

Qiao Zhi blushed and didn't dare to look at her, and avoided her kiss with a charming smile.

Qiu Shui asked again and again, Qiao Zhi was exhausted, and nestled into her arms: "Do you want to be with me?"

"I think." Qiu Shui touched her, leaned into her ear and asked in a very soft voice, "Is it okay?"

Qiao Zhi didn't speak, but quietly pulled her little finger, and made a hook with her in the dark.
