As he spoke, the thin boy picked up the flat pole by the water tank, picked up two empty buckets and walked out.

The girl hurriedly chased after her with the basket, "Hey, wait for me." ”

The other party naturally ignored her, but the pace under her feet seemed to have really slowed down.

Jiang Yueyuan finally managed to keep up with the person in front of her, she couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, and opened her mouth to ask, "What about Grandma Li and her family?"

The man in front of him paused, but did not answer.

Without receiving a reply, Jiang Yueyuan looked down at the road and muttered in a low voice, "I have no conscience, and I don't know how to come back to see the old man......"

In the next second, she hit a hard wall, causing her nose to ache and her eyes to burst into tears.

However, before she could vent her dissatisfaction, she heard a deep voice come from her, with a strong warning meaning, "You don't know anything, don't talk nonsense." ”

Jiang Yueyuan sniffed, with a reason of his own, "How can I know if you don't say it?"

Xie Chengen turned his head at this time, and just as he was about to say something, he saw her reddened eyes, and he was speechless for a while, and his words changed when he came to his mouth, "It's really squeamish." ”

Jiang Yueyuan was not to be outdone, "Who made you so stubborn." ”

Xie Chengen couldn't refute, so he just tilted his head back and continued to walk forward.

Just when Jiang Yueyuan thought it was over, a muffled voice came from the front, "Uncle Pan is a soldier who joined the army more than twenty years ago, and Grandma Li has been waiting for him to come back." ”

In a few short sentences, there is no need to go into detail, Jiang Yueyuan has already understood, and secretly scolded himself for the unintentional mistake just now.

More than 20 years ago, that was in the fifties and sixties, and if I had been a soldier at that time, and I haven't come back yet, I'm afraid ............

The air condensed for a while, and the two walked forward silently, and after a long time, a deep male voice sounded again, "So, you'd better not trick people." ”

Reacting to what he said, Jiang Yueyuan nodded, and subconsciously said, "Don't worry, I won't cheat Grandma Li even if I pit you." ”

“............”

Only then did she realize what she had said, Jiang Yueyuan wanted to cry first, silently closed her mouth, and decided not to speak again.

It was so soon that we reached the river, where many people were fetching water or washing vegetables.

As soon as they saw Xie Chengen coming, they all stopped talking and playing.

Even if they weren't discussing Xie Chengen, they just kept their mouths shut at this time.

Jiang Yueyuan secretly sighed, the big guy deserves to be the big guy, at a young age, the deterrent power is so great.

Xie Chengen went straight to the place a little upstream to draw water, and Jiang Yueyuan squatted on a big stone next to him to wash vegetables.

The boy quickly finished fetching water, afraid that he would leave like this, Jiang Yueyuan hurriedly said, "Wait for me, I'll be fine soon." ”

Xie Chengen didn't answer her words, but just walked to the side and looked into the distance.

Jiang Yueyuan had a score in his heart, knowing that he would not leave himself, so he hurriedly sped up the speed in his hand, drained the water for the last time, and walked towards him with the washed vegetables, "Let's go." ”

She happened to be carrying the sunset on her back, and when Xie Chengen looked down, what she saw was that her whole person seemed to be glowing.

But he quickly came back to his senses, and he picked up the water and turned to walk in front.

The two of them departed as they had come, leaving the talk behind.

"That girl isn't from our village, is she?"

"Her eyes are very raw, but they are really beautiful, look at her eyes, how beautiful!"

I don't know who snorted coldly, and mocked: "What does it look like? It looks like a vixen, I see, maybe it's something." ”

Few people echoed her words, but the discussion continued.

"She came with Xie Chengen, could she be his object?"

"How is it possible, with Xie Chengen's condition, who can look down on an innocent girl?"

"That's right, but Xie Chengen doesn't look bad, maybe people just fell in love with his face?"

"It's good-looking and can't be eaten, but anyone who has a little brain won't pick a partner because of a face!"

Their voices were not small, and a few words still fell into the ears of the two of them without accident, Jiang Yueyuan secretly slandered these people for not knowing what to do, but his face looked like he didn't hear anything, and he just walked his own way silently.

The young man who was still walking in front was so quiet that there was no sound, only the hand that was tightly clutching the flat pole seemed to betray his emotions.

He will not forget any of these people.

............

When the two of them returned to the thatched house, the old man had already lit a fire and cooked rice porridge, Jiang Yueyuan put the washed vegetables on the stove, "Grandma, I have good cooking skills, let me stir-fry the vegetables for you to taste." ”

couldn't compete with her, Grandma Li could only hand over the stove to her, and when she walked into the yard, she saw Xie Chengen preparing to chop firewood again, and couldn't help muttering: "What a match......

The old man walked up to the boy and looked serious, "Chengen, this girl, she is a good girl, she is beautiful, and she has a good heart, you must cherish it." ”

Xie Chengen was silent, he would not explain the things that had already been explained, and there was no point in dwelling on this matter with the old man.

But seeing that the old man seemed to be relieved to hand over the stove house to someone who came for the first time, he was a little helpless, "You rest first, I'll go and watch her." ”

Jiang Yueyuan was about to show off her skills, and when she turned around, she saw someone coming uninvited, "What are you doing here?"

Xie Chengen glanced at her, and his tone was cold, "Shut your mouth." ”

Then, under her gaze, someone sat down straight in front of the earthen stove and began to refill the firewood.

In any case, it is always a benefit to have someone to help, and Jiang Yueyuan also saved some effort.

The red glow slowly dyed half the sky red, and the fragrance gradually wafted out of the stove room, overflowing the entire courtyard.

Jiang Yueyuan walked out with the dishes and put them on the wooden table in the courtyard, "Eat." ”

Xie Chengen walked into the back room to wake up the little one who was still asleep.

Xie Chengan woke up in a daze and rubbed his eyes, "It's so fragrant, is this a dream?"

Xie Chengen's heart softened, "It's not a dream, I'm up to eat." ”

Xie Cheng'an was more than half awake when he heard this, and when he got out of bed, he ran out of the house, and the old man beckoned him very warmly to sit beside him.

Xie Chengan wanted to stick to his brother, but when he saw his brother's eyes, he sat beside the old man obediently.

Jiang Yueyuan brought out the rice twice, first to the old man and the child, and then to her and Xie Chengen.

The rice soup in the old man's and the doll's bowl was thicker, and Xie Chengen's was just right, but in her own bowl, it was obviously much thinner, and there were not many grains of rice.

Jiang Yueyuan held the edge of the bowl with one hand, preventing the old man from seeing anything different, but Xie Chengen could see it clearly.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, not long ago, Jiang Yueyuan pointed at him and said that he hated the poor sour taste of the countrymen, why did he run to the countryside one after another without saying anything, and even be so well-behaved and sensible?
