Although she had already guessed that this would be the answer, when she actually heard Ivan say it herself, Maria still felt very lost, and her heart sank suddenly.

"Ivan, if I wanted to marry you, would you say yes?"

Ivan was stunned, paused, turned his head to look at Maria, and said, "Maria, are you serious?" ”

"Yes, will you say yes?" Maria looked serious, she already knew that Ivan didn't love her, but she also felt that it didn't matter, and slowly Ivan would fall in love with her.

Ivan looked at Maria fixedly and said seriously, "No, I don't plan to get married." "Yes, Ivan has always felt that marriage is a burden, he has seen too many people who are unhappy in marriage, and he does not want to be one of them.

Mary's heart sank again, and she was very disappointed.

"I don't believe you'll ever think that."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I've always thought so. ”

At this time, Ivan suddenly saw that there seemed to be a gray animal under the tree not far away, like a fox, he instantly raised his gun and fired a shot with lightning speed, and the fox fell to the ground in an instant.

The sudden shooting really startled Maria, and she screamed 'ah', her hands over her ears, and her face was terrified.

Ivan paid no heede to Maria, and without a word of comfort, he walked straight to his prey.

Looking at Ivan's indifferent back, Maria's heart became colder and colder.

On the other side, Yao Jingjing thought that it was time to wash the sheets and quilts that she had changed yesterday, so she washed them in a large basin in the yard. There is no washing machine at home, in fact, I also thought about buying a washing machine, but considering that it costs money, Yao Jingjing gave up, she is now dedicated to saving money, and when she has saved enough money, she will go to the town to open a dumpling restaurant.

After washing for about half an hour, Yao Jingjing poured out the first basin of dirty water, who knows, at the moment when she got up to take the basin, there was a sudden rattle in her lower back, uh, Yao Jingjing suddenly couldn't move. If you move it slightly, your lower back will be in sharp pain.

Oops, oops, waist flash! Yao Jingjing frowned painfully, and slowly sat back on the bench, the whole person froze there, and did not dare to move, and it hurt badly when she moved. What to do? Yao Jingjing tried to stand up again, but as soon as she moved her waist, the pain was incomparable, and she frowned in pain, so she simply gave up and sat down again, at this moment she could only hope that Ivan would come back soon.

It was about ten o'clock that Ivan and Maria returned from the mountain, carrying a fox and a hare, and Maria's face was gloomy and devoid of her previous smile.

"Jingjing, we're back, today we beat a fox and a hare on the mountain, let's stew rabbit meat at noon." As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Yao Jingjing sitting there, seemingly washing clothes, and Ivan picked up the prey in his hand to show off.

Maria rolled her eyes at Ivan angrily, and cursed in her heart: Why don't you talk to me so much! 、

"Ivan, you're back." Yao Jingjing had been sitting on the bench for almost two hours, and she was ecstatic to see Ivan finally return.

Ivan approached and caught a glimpse of Yao Jingjing sitting here strangely, with her back straight and looking stiff.

"Jingjing, what's wrong with you?"

"Ivan, I just washed my clothes and flashed my waist."

"Flashing in the waist? What, does it hurt? ”

"I can't move, and when I move my waist, it hurts badly."
