Chapter Ninety-Nine: Take the initiative
Qin Ziheng's contemplation ended at the end of the month.
At the end of this month, it was Qin Ziheng's turn to return to his hometown.
I don't know what I experienced at home, but after Qin Ziheng returned to the county seat, there was a little strange change.
This change is subtle, and you can't really feel it if you don't pay attention. But Chen Youyi has been quietly paying attention to Qin Ziheng, and remembers some of his changes very clearly.
First of all, Chen Youyi felt that the other party was looking at him with something deep. She didn't see what it was, but even so, it was enough to burr her all over her body, like a grass seed with an evening primrose that she couldn't pick off.
Secondly, she felt that Qin Ziheng seemed to have more physical contact.
In the past, the two of them had been together for so long, and in retrospect, there was almost no physical contact. One is that Chen Youyi deliberately avoided it, but Qin Ziheng really didn't say anything and let this situation go.
Chen Youyi has always believed that this is because Qin Ziheng has no feelings for the original owner. This thought made her feel better, but it also made her bear the shell of the original owner and didn't dare to think about anything.
After getting along for more than half a year, she asked herself that the relationship between the two had become harmonious. Originally, she wanted to wait to make more money and try to make up for the original owner's debt to this family.
It is impossible to pay off the original form, Chen Youyi doesn't think that he can help make a general, so he can only do his best, at least so that the Qin family can have no worries about food and clothing.
When the Qin family's life stabilizes, she will not think about her own affairs.
In the past few days, the Qin family had not mentioned the matter of the retirement since the New Year, and both sides tacitly maintained this balance. But now, the balance is a little shaky.
Qin Ziheng used to be very good at taking care of people, but now this kind of meticulousness makes Chen Youyi a little frightened, and he always feels like a bomb that will explode at any time.
And in the eyes of outsiders, there is no change between the two of them.
"The relationship between the boss and the hostess is getting better and better." I don't know if it's the Lin family, even regular customers often say this. Qin Ziheng listened, his eyes looked at Chen Youyi deeply, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, but Chen Youyi looked like a frightened rabbit all day long, and his ears were about to be pricked up nervously.
This night, I got ready to go to bed.
"I'm out the lights." Qin Ziheng stood at the table and looked at Chen Youyi. Chen Youyi responded, she finished a set of yoga and relaxed.
The oil lamp is dim, it is not convenient to do something, it is too eye-consuming, Chen Youyi does not want to be myopic in this place where there is not even an optical store, so she is extra protective of her eyes, and will not read in this kind of poorly lit place, she can only do something that does not require her eyes, such as exercising.
Usually after Qin Ziheng extinguished the oil lamp, he would leave, but in the past few days, before he left, he would stare at it, this glance was very short, but the light inside was clearly extinguished, but Chen Youyi didn't dare to look up, just pretended not to see it.
She was distracted, not sleepy, and sat on the head of the bed, her eyes staring involuntarily at the other side of the room in a daze.
The center of the room is separated by a piece of floral cloth, and a cheap screen with no carvings is added to divide the room in two.
Chen Youyi had already earned the money to rent another house, but out of selfishness, she did not propose to rent a larger yard so that each person could be assigned a room, nor did she spend another money to rent a house for Lin's mother and son to let them move over.
No matter what the reason is used in front of people, Chen Youyi knows in her heart that she just wants to get closer to Qin Ziheng.
However, the sweet and careful thinking in the past has now become a cocoon.
These days, Qin Ziheng's character has been in her eyes, if she wants to have a lover, a person who depends on each other, this person, she hopes to be Qin Ziheng.
But before that, she had to pay off the original owner's debt. And, use your own identity to strive for this happiness.
It's not the eldest princess of Da Chen, but her Chen Youyi's happiness.
But thinking about it, she didn't know exactly when this time limit was, so she was subconsciously evading, and it was a while to be able to drag it out.
But now it seems that not everything is according to her expectations, Mu Xiulian has eliminated most of Chen Youyi's mustard, and treats her as her own daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law urged her daughter-in-law to give birth to a child, which sounds like she can't refute it.
In the environment of Da Chen Guo, Annette Mu's approach will not only not be opposed, but will be unanimously approved.
Chen Youyi sighed silently, lay down and pulled up the quilt to cover herself, feeling a little sweet for a while, but more of a heavy hesitation.
Thinking that Qin Ziheng's kindness to her was all out of responsibility to his 'wife', she couldn't help but feel down. She doesn't want to live a life with a sense of responsibility, and she is not Qin Ziheng's real wife.
When Chen Youyi's breathing became long, and finally fell asleep, there was a knock outside the alley. She didn't see it, Qin Ziheng slowly opened his eyes and looked in her direction for a long time.
The stumbling feelings lingered in the busy work, and Chen Youyi gradually got used to Qin Ziheng's initiative from time to time, and he could also give appropriate counterattacks and stick to his position.
It is also strange to say that Qin Ziheng received an explicit hint from Mu Xiulian, but his positivity seemed to be superficial. Chen Youyi took a step back, he took a step back, Chen Youyi took a step back, but he didn't move, and sometimes even took a step back.
Soon, the days passed like flowing water, in a blink of an eye, the leaves fell and the grass fell, the hoarfrost condensed, and the haha breath could be condensed into white gas, and the wax moon arrived.
"According to the convention, this month is one of the best months of the year for business, everyone works a little harder, and at the end of the year, everyone will send a big red envelope!"
Early in the morning, Chen Youyi saw that everyone had arrived and gathered them all together to boost morale. Because she was afraid that it would be too late, she also hired a guy and planned to stick to it this month.
Her prediction was correct, in the wax moon, the flavor of the New Year gradually became stronger, everyone relaxed, and the number of people shopping on the street gradually increased. Some families rest early, and they have time to wander around, and the streets are full of people all the time.
The shop was very busy early, if it weren't for the fact that the temporarily hired guy was really good at business, a good hand inside and outside the store, and one person was used for two, Chen Youyi would need to hire another guy.
Chen Youyi herself is also very busy, in addition to taking care of the business in the store, she finally rested, and she hid in the kitchen alone to tinker.
"Why don't you go to rest, you're tired all day." Qin Ziheng didn't see anyone when he returned to the room, and when he came out, he smelled a choking spicy smell, and followed the smell into the kitchen.
Chen Youyi is stir-frying the collected red peppers in a large iron pot, trying to make them into dried peppers.
