Susie suddenly realized that her relationship with Qiao Mu was different now, he was now her boyfriend, and she had been out for so long, so she should have told him.

Thinking of this, Susie coughed lightly and looked away.

Qiao Mu walked towards Susie and stood in front of her, "Back?" ”

Susie nodded weakly.

Qiao Mu stopped talking, just stood in front of her, looking down at her slightly.

Susie was uncomfortable with him, there were many people in this stove house!

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Qiao Mu's face, "Go wash it, it's a lot of ash." ”

Qiao Mu lowered his eyes and went to fetch water to wash his face.

Susie hurried to help Zhao Tingting light the fire.

During the meal, Qiao Mu sat opposite Susie, and his eyes barely left Susie.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange, and even Yuan Gang, who had always been honest and honest, felt that something was wrong.

He looked at Qiao Mu and looked at Susie, and then saw Tian Xiaohui on the other side smiling, and suddenly understood something.

After eating, Susie and Zhao Tingting cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, Susie rolled up her sleeves and was about to wash the dishes, Zhao Tingting suddenly pushed her, "Someone is looking for you, go quickly." ”

Susie followed her gaze and looked out, and saw Qiao Mu not knowing when he had changed into a military coat and walked back and forth outside the stove house.

Susie looked at the bowls in the pot, and Zhao Tingting said, "Go ahead, I'll wash these bowls." ”

She smiled at Zhao Tingting and went out.

When Qiao Mu saw her, he turned around and walked in the direction of the back mountain, and Susie followed silently.

She couldn't help but look at the back of the arbor in front of her.

He wore a military coat, which was arguably the most fashionable garment of the era. Susie sees many people wearing them in the provincial capital, and she feels that they are all dressed in a bag, but the arbor is completely different.

The arbor is tall and thin, with broad shoulders and a straight person, and the military coat is worn on him like a male model catwalk.

After the two of them turned to the house, Qiao Mu slowed down, and when Susie came up to be next to him, he grabbed Susie's hand.

He didn't look at her, took her hand and walked silently up the mountain.

After walking for a while, he came to a flat ground, and Qiao Mu suddenly stopped and pulled Susie, who was defenseless and crashed into his arms.

Qiao Mu closed his eyes and hugged her tightly.

In the twenty or so days she has been out, he has spent almost every day in torment.

As soon as he was free, he would think, where is she now, who is she with, what is she doing?

He knew it was not normal for him to do this, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

No matter what he was doing, he would always think of her.

It wasn't until the moment he saw her today that all his worries and uneasiness were put aside for the time being.

Holding her in his arms, he felt that she was real and that she belonged to him.

Susie was about to push Qiao Mu away, but after thinking about it, she ignored him this time, it was normal for him to have uneasiness and grievances, and his emotions needed to be vented.

She felt a little guilty in her heart, slowly stretched out her hand and patted it lightly on Qiao Mu's back.

Just such a simple action made Qiao Mu's heart beat faster, and he hugged Susie tighter.

The two hugged quietly for a while, and Susie felt that Qiao Mu's emotions had been soothed enough, so she struggled slightly.

Qiao Mu let go of her, gently wrapped his hands around her waist, and looked down into her eyes, "Where have you been for so long?" ”

Susie looked up at him slightly and smiled, "Go out and make money." ”

Qiao Mu stared at her, and his voice was low, "Next time you go out, let me go with you?" ”

He couldn't stand not seeing Susie.

Susie shook her head, it was not appropriate for the arbor to follow.

In addition to spending an extra person's travel expenses and increasing costs, it can be said that there is no benefit at all.

Qiao Mu didn't ask why, and Susie obviously didn't want to talk to her about making money outside.

He was afraid that asking too many questions would make her unhappy.

Susie looked up at him and whispered, "I forgot to tell you when I went out this time, it was me who was wrong, and I won't be next time." ”

A wave of moving joy rose from the bottom of Qiao Mu's heart, and he nodded lightly, "Okay." ”

In the mountains in December, it is particularly wet and cold.

The two stood still, Susie felt her feet freeze, she stomped her feet, and pulled Qiaomu's clothes, "Let's go back, it's cold." ”

Although Qiao Mu still wanted to stay with Susie for a while, he didn't want Susie to be cold, so he grabbed Susie's hand and put their hands into the pocket of his military coat.

The two walked forward side by side.

Susie only felt that the hand she was holding by the arbor was very warm.

The two came down from the mountain, and Susie hurried back to the house, the weather was too cold to stay outside.

Not long after returning to the house, there was a knock on the door outside, Susie went to open the door, and when she opened the door, she saw Qiao Mu standing outside with a charcoal basin.

Inside the charcoal basin was a charcoal fire that had just been lit, and Qiao Mu entered the house and placed the charcoal basin beside Susie's bed.

In the back, Tian Xiaohui was eating and laughing.

The arbor turned red and hurried out.

When Qiao Mu left, Tian Xiaohui quickly ran over, "Tut-tut, this boyfriend is too thoughtful, Sister Qian, I envy you so much." ”

Zhao Tingting also pursed her lips and smiled on the other side, then moved a chair over, put it by the brazier, and said with a smile: "Let's also follow Sister Qian to rub some heat." ”

Tian Xiaohui also hurried to move the chair.

Even the cat ran out of its nest and lay down next to the charcoal basin.

Then there was another knock on the door.

Susie opened the door, still an arbor.

He carried a sack on his shoulder, went into the house and put the sack in the corner, and said, "It's all charcoal, don't save it, just burn it." ”

Tian Xiaohui held back a smile and deliberately asked, "Qiao Mu, how much do we have to give so much charcoal?" ”

Susie glared at her quietly.

Qiao Mu's face was slightly red, "I don't want money." So saying, he walked out.

Susie followed, walked to the door, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Qiao Mu turned his head to look at her, "Don't say thank you to me. ”

Susie stood in the doorway, looking at his back.

She regretted it a little now, regretting that she had agreed to Qiao Mu to fall in love with him.

Qiao Mu is too good, his feelings are too pure, she is really afraid that one day she will hurt him.

Qiao Mu seemed to sense something, took a few steps, and then stopped and turned back.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and there was a lot of tenderness in their eyes.

······

The next morning, when everyone had breakfast together, Susie whispered to Zhu Zhicheng, "How much charcoal did you get?" ”

Zhu Zhicheng said: "I don't know, I don't weigh it, but it is packed with dozens of sacks, and one bag is estimated to be more than 100 catties." ”

Susie said, "Isn't that a few thousand catties?" ”

"Then don't go up the mountain today, let's go to the county seat and sell the charcoal together."

Zhu Zhicheng nodded, "It's okay." ”

It's been almost a month, and it's almost the New Year, so he also wants to get the money as soon as possible so that he can send it to his family.
