Chapter 41: The two are on the right track
After a while, Qi Yunqing put down her feet and raised her head slightly, "Step on it a few times to see if the shoes are rubbing your feet." ”
Su Jin stepped on his words a few times, it was not too big or too small, and the soles were not as hard as before, and they were much more comfortable than the previous shoes.
Her eyes were a little redder again, but she lowered her head and didn't let him see it, "It fits perfectly, Yunqing." ”
……
A few people finished eating, and the sky outside was already pitch black.
Xu hadn't taken a bath for two days, and her body was so sweaty that she couldn't do it, Su Jin hesitated, but still bothered Li He to take a warm bath for her.
Li He didn't worry about her taking a bath alone, so he asked Qi Yunqing to come into the house and rub her back for her.
Su Jin was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly and resolutely rejected her kindness, and Li He didn't say anything more when she was shy.
However, after warming the water, she went into the house with Su Jin and rubbed her back.
When Su Jin lay on the bed, it was already half an hour later
Glancing at Qi Yunqing under the oil lamp at the table, he sat up straight, his eyes were slightly rural, and he was writing with a brush in his hand.
She hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Yunqing, rest early, it's easy to hurt your eyes at night." ”
"It's okay, you sleep first, I'll write for a while." Qi Yunqing stopped the pen in his hand, got up and walked over, covered her with a thin quilt, and then put down the bed curtain.
Then he returned to the table and continued to copy.
……
The sounds around him had fallen silent, except for the occasional chirping of insects, and it was midnight.
The room was still dimly lit, and after a long time, the room suddenly became dark, and the last drop of oil from the oil lamp burned out.
Qi Yunqing put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his somewhat sour wrist, and after a while, he got up gently and walked to the bed.
Listening to the sound of subtle and even breathing from the curtain, the tiredness on his body was swept away, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
Then he took off his coat, lifted the curtain, and lay down on the bed gently.
"Yunqing?" Su Jin felt the bed sink a little, and glanced at him vaguely with her half-open eyes, but she couldn't see anything clearly.
"Hmm." Qi Yunqing turned over and faced her.
Receiving a response, she moved inside, and a deep drowsiness hit her, and her eyes closed again.
It didn't take long for there to be an even breathing sound again, and after a while, Qi Yunqing stretched out his big hand and gently took her in his arms, smelled the familiar fragrance, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
……
The next day, the first white light came to the room, followed by the second and third......
At this time, a small sound sounded in the quiet air, and it didn't take long for the woman to carefully lift the bed curtain and get out of bed quickly.
She glanced at the man who was still sleeping, and the black marks under his eyes were clearly visible, and her eyes were stained with some distress, and then she lowered the bed curtain.
Seeing the unfinished pen and ink on the table, and the exhausted oil lamp, she turned her head to look in the direction of the bed, and pursed her lips into a straight line.
When she had put her things away, she went out of the room, closed it softly, and strode to the kitchen.
At this moment, it was about midnight, and Li He hadn't gotten up yet, so he probably stayed up late to make a wedding dress.
The wedding dress should have been made by herself, but her embroidery work was not good, it was purely a waste of fabric, so she had to work hard.
kitchen
The fish I bought the day before yesterday has dried up a lot after yesterday's exposure, so I got close and smelled it, and the fishy smell was acceptable.
She chopped two fish heads down to make soup, then stuffed most of the bowl of rice, and finally fried another bowl of green vegetables.
When the meal was ready, the hour had passed, and the two people in the house still hadn't gotten up, and she didn't urge them, so she warmed the food in the pot.
Then she put her dirty clothes in a wooden basin, took the soap horn, and went out of the yard.
Not long after she left, Qi Yunqing woke up, but he didn't see the figure on his side, and his originally hazy eyes were still a little clear.
He got out of bed, and found that the things on the table were already packed, and he opened the door and went out, and when he saw that there was no one in the courtyard, he went to the kitchen, which was also empty.
He turned around and came out again, and glanced at the corner, where the tub was gone.
He was relieved and strode out of the courtyard.
Sure enough, under the moss-covered stone bridge, she saw that familiar figure, and the shadow cast by the stone bridge just shrouded her in it, blocking the hot sunlight at the moment.
Listening to the sound of steady footsteps coming from the stone bridge, Su Jin subconsciously glanced up and saw that it was Qi Yunqing, and her tone carried a joy that she herself was not easy to detect, "Yunqing, why don't you sleep more." ”
Qi Yunqing walked up to her before replying, "Sleep well." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?" Doesn't your neck hurt? ”
"It's still early, and there's nothing going on at home, so I didn't call you."
"Grandpa Wang's herbs work well, and his neck doesn't hurt anymore,"
Su Jin's words are half true, half false, his neck still hurts, but it doesn't hurt yesterday, as long as he doesn't move vigorously.
She had been lying down for a day yesterday, Qi Yunqing and Li He took turns to take care of her, and she had delayed a lot of things, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.
"I'll come."
Qi Yunqing looked at her for a few seconds and then lifted the tail of his clothes, squatted next to her, and took his clothes and gently scrubbed them.
Probably knowing that it was useless for her to refuse, Su Jin only glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to wash her clothes.
There were two women on the opposite shore washing their clothes, frequently going in the direction of the two of them, and after half a ring, the woman on the left sighed in a low voice: "Don't say it, these two people look quite right." ”
The woman on the right glanced at it and muttered vinegarily, "Guangdeng is not poor yet." It was Wang Wei, the eldest daughter-in-law of Wang Langzhong's family, who spoke.
She actually regretted that she had rejected the marriage of the Qi family at the beginning, and her father-in-law said that Qi Yunqing was down-to-earth and capable, knowledgeable, and gentle, and it was better to be Jinyu's husband.
What about being poor, they help some, and sooner or later there will be silver.
It's a pity that she listened to the words of her third brother and sister at the time, and also felt that the Qi family was too poor, so she refused the marriage of the Qi family.
Thinking of this, she was a little annoyed with her third brother and sister Wang Qin.
Hearing this, Lin Liu, who was next to her, glanced at her, then pursed his lips and didn't say anything to her.
After half an hour, the clothes were washed, Qi Yunqing took the wooden basin and returned to Qi's house with Su Jin, the two were silent on the way, the atmosphere was not solemn, but very comfortable.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the two met Shi Linyi, who was facing each other, and he was carrying two large bundles of rice.
Shi Linyi also saw them, his feet paused, and his eyes stayed on Su Jin's body for a few seconds before retracting his gaze.
He slightly swallowed, "Qi Shusheng, Su ...... The younger sister of the Su family. ”
"Hmm."
"Big brother of the Shi family."
Su Jin and Qi Yunqing responded at the same time.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Su Jin looked at the heavy grains and tried to ease the atmosphere and said, "Brother Shi, your family's rice harvest this year is really good. ”
"This year, there is plenty of rain, and the rice harvest in the village is good." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Shi Linyi's face.
A good harvest is the most joyful thing for the croppers.
Su Jin smiled, and when she caught a glimpse of Qi Yunqing next to her with a tight lower forehead, she put away the smile on her face and said, "Brother Shi, my mother is still waiting at home, let's go first, and we'll talk another day when we're free." ”
