After fastening the apron, Ruo Ning began to wash the dishes, but Ren Shaochen did not walk away, standing side by side with her.

From the position of the kitchen, you can see Ren's father and mother pickling cabbage in the yard, they are very united in their work, and they can see the feelings between the actions, especially Ren's father to Ren's mother, she will not be allowed to touch the slightest heavy work.

Ruo Ning glanced at it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and suddenly remembered Qu Tao, and the smile immediately disappeared. Qu's mother is still at her grandfather's place and has not come back, and now Qu's family is empty, and Qu Tao is probably having dinner with the woman and the child now.

Ruo Ning regained her senses, lowered her head to wash the dishes, Ren Shaochen took her to rinse the haode dishes and wiped the water stains dry.

"My mother is closer to you than to my daughter, and I am happier to see you than to see me." Ren Shaochen saw Ren's father and mother smiling busy outside the house, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and smiled lightly at Ruo Ning.

Ruo Ning tilted her head to look at Ren Shaochen, and said with a smile: "You are jealous." ”

"Yes, just remember what you like to eat, she will do whatever she wants, and she forgets her son when she has a daughter-in-law." Ren Shaochen put the dishes on the dry floor.

"Nonsense." Ruo Ning smiled, turned his head and rinsed a saucer and handed it to Ren Shaochen.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Ruo Ning washed her hands, Ren Shaochen took a dry towel from the hook, wrapped her hands, and wanted to dry her hands.

"I'm not a bowl, I'll wipe it myself." Ruo Ning glanced at him with a smile, then took the towel.

Ren Shaochen let go of his hand, walked around behind her, and untied the knot of her apron.

Ruo Ning wiped her hands, and Yu Guang saw Ren's father and Ren Ma looking at them, Ren Ma squinted and smiled happily, she realized that her movements with Ren Shaochen were a little intimate, she took a step, raised her hand and said, "I'll do it myself." ”

Before the words fell, the knot had been untied, and her hand only grabbed Ren Shaochen's hand, her face flushed slightly, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, hung the apron back on the hook, and walked out of the kitchen.

Ren Shaochen followed slowly, and the two of them reached the courtyard with their front and back feet.

"Mom, I'll help you." Ruo Ning went over, looked at the cabbage all over the ground, and said, "What should I do?" ”

Ren's mother hurriedly took off her gloves, grabbed Ruoning's wrist, and said, "Don't get your hands dirty, you and Shaochen go out for a walk, the camellia on the back mountain is blooming beautifully." ”

After that, he pushed the two out of the yard.

Ruo Ning and Ren Shaochen glanced at each other outside the door, and chuckled, every time they came here, Ren's mother always let them be idle and didn't let them do any work.

"Shall we go and see?" Ren Shaochen turned his face to her sideways and asked for her opinion.

Ruo Ning smiled, nodded, took a step first, and Ren Shaochen followed.

In a small section of the field road, Ren Shaochen had long legs and big steps, and before she knew it, she was falling behind again, but she didn't try to keep up as usual, but walked at her own pace without hurrying.

Ren Shaochen didn't hear Ruoning's footsteps, so he turned his head back to look, and found that she was already thirty or forty meters away from him, and he walked back quickly.

"Is it ankle pain?" He stopped beside Ruo Ning, twisted his eyebrows and looked down at Ruo Ning's ankles.

Ruo Ning shook his head, although he had not yet recovered, there was no problem walking like this.

"What's wrong?" Ren Shaochen looked up at Ruo Ning, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he asked again.

"It's okay, maybe you haven't noticed it, I've always walked very slowly, in fact, every time I follow you three or two steps behind, it's a lot of effort for me to keep up, and sometimes it's almost a race." Ruo Ning bent the corners of her mouth lightly, not bitter, a bit like a joking complaint, and said: "Now I can't keep up with my foot injury like before." ”

Just now, she understood one thing, in fact, the distance of two or three steps, and twenty or thirty meters, or even two or three hundred meters, is not the person who walks side by side and in the same row after all.

When Ren Shaochen heard this, his eyebrows frowned, only to realize that she was usually cooperating with his speed.

"Weishenme didn't say it before?" Ren Shaochen asked in a low voice, he didn't want to escape the responsibility of his negligence, but he really had never heard her say it once, and he had been at this pace since they met.

"Maybe I thought I could keep up anyway." Ruo Ning lowered her head, walked forward slowly, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect a foot injury, only to know that we were walking normally, and we could be so far away." ”

"Ah Ning." Ren Shaochen reached out and grabbed Ruo Ning's wrist and called her name.

Ruo Ning turned her head and raised the corners of her mouth: "I haven't said these words to you before, but now I can tell you more comfortably." "It's gone, it's lost, it's fearless, that's her state of mind now.

Ren Shaochen grabbed her hand and tightened it, looking at her with ancient eyes, wanting to say something, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and only three words turned into his lips: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's none of your business, I'm not going to say it myself." Ruo Ning shook her head lightly, diverted the topic, and said, "Let's go, we won't be able to see the camellia when the sun sets." ”

Ren Shaochen lowered his arms, contemplated his eyes, and slowed down his pace to walk beside Ruo Ning.

The afterglow of the setting sun magnified the shadows of the two of them, and stretched them very long, as if they were shoulders together.

Ruoning's ankles are not suitable for climbing the mountain, so she can only look up at the foot of the mountain, such as Ren's mother said that the camellia all over the mountain is very beautiful, red and like fire, she regrets that she can't go up to take a closer look.

"Let's go back." Ren Shaochen was worried that her ankles were tired, so he spoke.

When the two of them walked on the way back, he also deliberately walked slowly next to her.

In the evening, the countryside is exceptionally quiet except for the noise of insects in the fields.

If she understands that Ren Dad and Ren Ma Weishenme insist on living here, there is no hustle and bustle of cars, no crowds, fresh air, slow pace, peaceful and comfortable, if she has a choice, she also wants to stay here.

But the thought only stayed in her mind for a second, and while she was still walking leisurely, a toad suddenly jumped out of the field and jumped directly on the upper of her shoe.

She stared at it in astonishment for a few seconds, making sure what she was seeing, the pimple-covered thing, before she let out a dull scream.

She jumped to her feet in a panic without any image and threw herself into Ren Shaochen's arms.

Ren Shaochen is very accustomed to this sudden change, and when he brought her back before, he had been in this situation twice.

"Well, it's scared away." Ren Shaochen patted her back and said comfortingly. If Qu Ruoning, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is most afraid of anything, it is probably toads and cockroaches. No matter how stubborn a girl is, she has her weaknesses.

Ruo Ning was stunned, gasping for breath, quietly opened her eyes in his arms, looked down, and saw that it was indeed not on her instep, and let out a long breath.

"You're holding my neck so much that I'm out of breath." Ren Shaochen reminded him with appropriate words.

If he came to his senses, he withdrew his hand and took two steps back.

Ren Shaochen smoothly took her hand and said, "So that you won't jump into the field in a panic later." ”

Thinking of the gaffe just now, she wanted to plant herself headlong in the field now.
