Chapter 31: The Countryside

The dog barks in the deep alley, and the rooster cries in the mulberry tree.

How laid-back the life of the ancients was!

Ling Che, who opened his eyes in the sound of chickens, couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Breakfast is simple, but it has a unique farmhouse style, with eggs from home-raised chickens, oil from home-grown peanuts, and fried cakes with a mouthful of fragrant flavor.

After eating breakfast, Lingche took the initiative to say goodbye to the old man, and the old lady reluctantly took her hand and chattered all the way to send her to the entrance of the village, and also stuffed a huge ring into Lingche's hand, "Girl, there is nothing valuable at home, this was bought for me by Longzi working outside in the early years, what ring does the old woman wear, give it to you, you two live a good life." Lingche dared to accept it, so he hurriedly shirked and refused to ask for it, but he couldn't resist the old man, so he had to accept it secretly, thinking that he would send it back quietly to the old man when he went back.

Continuing to walk outside, I came across the children who had helped Lingche lead the way the day before, chattering and laughing. When they saw Ling Che, they dispersed in a hurry, and a bold boy stepped forward and greeted Ling Che shyly: "Excuse me, are you Sister Ling Che?" ”

Lingche nodded.

The boy rubbed his head and smiled shyly, "We have an uncle waiting for you at home, please come to my house as a guest." ”

"Uncle?" Ling Che's face was inexplicable, "I don't know anyone here!" ”

"Sister, the car to the town today will only depart in the afternoon, and you will have to wait a long time if you go now, so go to my house to have a while." The boy pulled at Lingche's clothes and smiled.

Seeing the boy's flushed face, Lingche couldn't bear to live up to his sincere expectations, thinking that it was still early, and he really agreed to him.

The boy's home was nearby, and the yard that looked old was exceptionally clean, and a man in white was sitting under a wisteria trellis and leisurely feeding the pigeons. The sunlight left a little starlight on his body, and the change of light and shadow made his eyebrows more distinct. Just for a moment, Ling Che was stunned there, only feeling that this scene was too beautiful and worthy of her to cherish for the rest of her life.

Xiang Ke seemed to feel Lingqing's burning gaze, turned his head leisurely, and winked at the boy with a smile: "Thank you." ”

The boy smiled mischievously and walked out in amusement.

"I guess I didn't disturb your work." Xiang Ke smiled at Lingche, stretched out his arms and said, "Miss Su, do you mind coming to the farm with me for a day trip?" ”

Ling Che walked towards him with a smile, the faint shadow in his heart was suddenly swept away, Ren Xiangke gently rubbed himself into his arms, and said, "How did you find here?" ”

"You won't tell me anything, so I'll follow me myself." Xiang Ke said: "I'm afraid that it will affect your work, so I didn't dare to show up until you decided to leave this village, can you give me a little bit of the time now?" ”

It turns out that he has always been there! Lingche's heart suddenly became warm, and he nodded: "Then I'll reward you!" ”

"Gotcha!" Xiang Ke smiled and picked up Lingche and kissed her lightly on the lips, "Su Lingche, I really want to do bad things to you." ”

It was only at this time that Ling Che understood what it meant to be confused, and the ghost sent the god to say, "Then come." ”

Xiang Ke buried his lips in her neck, sucking greedily, and after a long time, he muttered, "Not yet, Lingling, marry me." ”

Ling Che lowered his head and buried himself in Xiang Ke's arms, stunned for a moment: "Are you proposing to me?" ”

"Hmm." Xiang Ke nodded and said softly: "You know, my mother, I have been hurt so much, I really hope that I can marry you in a fair and bright way, and before that, I will not cross that line." After a long time, he said cautiously: "I wanted to make it more grand, but today I couldn't help but say it." Lingling, what should I do, do you agree? ”

Ling Che suddenly became a little twisted, and said softly, "Okay." ”

"Next Saturday, come home with me and meet my grandparents." Xiang Kedao.

Lingche suddenly became nervous, the unhappiness of the last meeting is still fresh in his memory, will this meeting be pleasant?

Xiang Ke obviously saw through her worries, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Lingche nodded, as a granddaughter-in-law, she always has to meet, there is Xiang Ke, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The way back was no longer so far away because of Xiang Ke's company, and the two of them talked and laughed all the way, and time passed quickly. Xiang Ke sent Lingche downstairs, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.

"If you don't leave Tengfei, you can see you again tomorrow." Lingche complained, "This way I will be more motivated to go to work." ”

"Why don't you come to the prosperous world?" Xiang Ke Xiao asked, "I wish that Jinwu Zangjiao would hide you, but I'm afraid that I will suffocate you." ”

"Forget it." Ling Che shook his head and said with concern: "I'm not by your side, you also have to pay attention to your body, don't work too hard." ”

"Got it! My wife. Xiang Ke smiled and kissed Lingche's cheek, watched her go upstairs, and drove away after a long time.

After a few days of running around, Ling Che's energy was seriously overdrawn, and when he went to work, he was a little confused, and he didn't find anything for a few days, Ding Dafa's face was not so good-looking. Ling Che was dealing with it carefully all morning, Ding Dafa didn't say anything to her, Li Man and Yang Nan were not so lucky, and at the end of the day, they were called in and scolded several times because of a small problem. Lingche felt deeply sorry for the two revolutionary comrades-in-arms.

Yang Nan looked indifferent, and was completely unimpressed by Lingche's apology: "The old man is often like this, it's good if you get used to it."

Ling Che smiled awkwardly, how often is this? It seems that it is really not easy to be the boss's secretary!

Sorting out the information, and sorting out the information without a clue, but in my heart I hope that time will pass quickly.

In order to make up for Lingche's regret that he couldn't see him for a day, he asked Ke to ask Lingche to go after work to choose a ring and a dress for the dinner. When I was bored, I simply quietly asked Dahua to come downstairs for a cup of coffee together.

"Wow! You can be regarded as marrying into a wealthy family! Dahua sighed as soon as they met.

"I'm just going to marry Xiang Ke." Ling Che hurriedly corrected.

"Does it make a difference?" Dahua looked resentful, "But Su Lingche, do you know how to dance?" ”

"Dancing?" Ling Che smiled disdainfully, "Why should I be able to dance? "I've heard that they all have balls at the banquets of the rich." Dahua said seriously: "If you can't dance, who will be Xiang Ke's dance partner when you turn around?" You wouldn't want him to jump with someone else, would you? ”

Ling Che jumped up from the sofa all of a sudden, this is indeed a big problem, there is no way, I have to bribe Dahua, accompany her to practice dancing at night, there is only less than a week, it is really busy!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly sped up her coffee and hurriedly said, "I won't tell you, go back to work, finish it early, and you will accompany me to practice dancing tomorrow night." ”

"Why tomorrow night?" Daika asked.

"Because I'm going on a date tonight, that's it!" Lingche left in a hurry, leaving a big flower with a hurried back.

Dahua only had a look of resentment left, and scolded with a smile: "You guy who is heavy on color and light on friends! ”

At the end of work, Xiang Ke appeared downstairs on time, greeting his former colleagues with a smile and elegance, but his eyes glanced in the direction of the elevator in the lobby from time to time. Ling Che saw Xiang Ke from a distance, and the sweet feelings quietly fermented in his heart, and he walked towards the familiar figure with a smile.

Xiang Ke politely ended the conversation with his former colleague and waved to Ling Che with a smile. The two left the company building under the envious gaze of everyone.

After dinner, Xiang Ke took Lingche to the famous gem villa on the outskirts of the city, the villa mainly deals in all kinds of banquet dresses and jewelry, etc., it is said that the owner of the village has collected a lot of precious jewelry, which is rare for ordinary people to see, and it is reasonable for Xiang Ke to bring Lingche here.

"It was here that my father proposed to my mother more than thirty years ago." There was a hint of tragedy in Xiang Ke's voice: "But he failed to fulfill his promise." ”

Ling Che looked at the magnificent manor and said softly, "It's all in the past. ”

"For me, it's a permanent scar." Xiang Ke said: "I brought you here to prove that I will not follow the path he once walked, no matter how forced I am, there will always be a better choice." ”

"I believe in you." Lingqing's eyes twinkled with starlight.

The lights in the manor went out suddenly, and the fireworks were lit, one after another, blooming in the sky in the shape of a heart, and the dazzling firelight lit up the night sky in an instant, and gradually fell. Until the last ceremonial flower was extinguished, and the villa returned to its former glorious appearance, Xiang Ke suddenly knelt down on one knee, carefully held a ring, and said softly: "Lingling, will you marry me?" ”

Ling Che nodded excitedly, and Ren Xiangke gently put the ring on her hand.

"I know you don't like things that are too luxurious, this ring looks ordinary, and the gemstone is a small one, but it is heart-shaped, do you like it?" Xiang Ke said softly.

Lingche nodded, she was pleasantly surprised to find that a small mark "KL" was hollowed out on the ring, although the ring was simple, Xiang Ke's thought could be seen.

Ling Che followed Xiang Ke through the long corridor, the corridor was full of pictures of all kinds of jewelry, and a photo of a gemstone ring in the corner attracted Ling Che's attention, she hesitantly walked over, carefully examined the ring, and a sense of foreboding arose.

This ring is so familiar!

She was still lying at her home at the moment, and she was so busy on the first day she came back that she forgot to mail it back. It must be worth a lot of money if its picture is displayed here, and it seems that the decision to send it back is not very safe, but should we make another trip to send it back?

Xiang Ke walked over, looked at Lingche's gaze, and said, "This ring is the engagement gift that my father gave to my mother back then. ”
