Chapter 28: Tearing

Chapter 29: Tearing

"Brother Changqing, what are you doing? Let go quickly. It will be bad if others see you."

Liu Xiuxiu's arrival successfully saved Fang Qing's arm. After pulling back her arm, she quickly hid behind Daya, as if Sun Changqing was some kind of monster.

Sun Changqing's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, rose again. "Why are you hiding? How can I eat you? Fang Qing, you must explain yourself to me today. What did you mean by that? What do you mean by too good to be true? Are you not sad at all about breaking off the engagement?"

Fang Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, Brother, you take yourself too seriously. I remained calm in front of Wen Ning, so why should I cry my heart out in front of you?

Thinking of this, Fang Qing felt a little annoyed. She had never realized that Sun Changqing was such a person before. It seemed that she had to explain it clearly.

"Okay, since you want to say it, let's just talk it out today. This is inconvenient, let's go to another place." Fang Qing brought a few people to the river. The scenery here was pretty good, very suitable for arguing with people while enjoying the scenery.

Fang Qing glanced at her cousin and Liu Xiuxiu who were following behind her. "This is a matter between the two of us. Some of the things I'm talking about are inconvenient for you to hear. Wait here for a moment."

Then he walked to a big rock and sat down. "Sorry, I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry to ask you to stand for a while."

Sun Changqing didn't care about these, just staring at Fang Qing and waiting for her to explain. Fang Qing thought about it, briefly explained the meaning of that sentence that day, and analyzed the benefits of breaking up the engagement for both parties. Fang Qing thought she had made it very clear, but Sun Changqing was still not satisfied.

"You're not telling the truth. This is not the answer I want."

Fang Qingteng stood up and said, "Are you done yet? You can't let this go, right? You won't be satisfied until I say something so unpleasant, right? Fine, then I'll satisfy you!"

Fang Qing was a little angry. He pulled at his scarf to allow himself to breathe more freely, took two steps on the spot, then turned around and started cursing.

"Did you dream too much when you were a kid? You thought you were the prince charming. Any woman who appeared around you would be impressed by your outstanding temperament, and then be obsessed with you and follow you closely. If they don't have this reaction, it's abnormal. They are playing hard to get with you and trying to get your attention, right?"

Fang Qing became even angrier when he saw that although Sun Changqing had a hint of embarrassment on his face, he looked as if it was a matter of course.

"I beg you, ask yourself seriously, are you really as good as you think you are? In terms of looks, are you more handsome than me or those guys on the school sports team? In terms of grades, you are not the best in the school; in terms of character, you are a man, but you keep quarreling with a girl like me over this matter every day. Do you really think you are very generous?"

Seeing that Sun Changqing wanted to refute, Fang Qing did not give him a chance at all, "Also, your family immediately cancelled the engagement after hearing some rumors. It was your family that did not keep the promise and broke the promise, not me, Fang Qing, who let you down! Moreover, I have not done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth, and I am innocent, but I still have to endure your pointing fingers at me. Is this what the Liyi family should do? You don't know the truth, so why do you use those dirty words to slander me?"

"Finally, I have one more thing to say. I don't have any romantic feelings for you. At most, it's just a little childhood friendship. So, classmate Sun, not everyone has to like you. I, Fang Qing, have never liked you! Do you understand this time?"

Fang Qing panted and put her hands on her waist, looking at Sun Changqing calmly. Seeing that he looked down at the stones under his feet for a long time without answering, she suddenly felt a little worried, wondering if she had just said too much. Just as she was considering whether to say a few words of comfort, Sun Changqing suddenly looked up and looked into Fang Qing's eyes calmly.

"Who do you like then? Wen Ning?"

Fang Qing was stunned by what he said, and didn't understand why he asked that. "What? What does this have to do with him?"

Sun Changqing observed Fang Qing coldly for a while, then suddenly sneered, turned his head to look at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and let out a long sigh, "I understand, this matter ends here. I'm leaving first."

Seeing that the two of them had finally finished their talk, Liu Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to them. Seeing that Sun Changqing looked calm and not as reluctant as before, she finally felt relieved and chased after them without looking back.

Watching Sun Changqing stride away, Fang Qing always felt that what he said just now was a bit too much, but thinking of his endless attitude at the beginning, only a sharp knife could cut through the tangled mess.

"Qingqing, are you okay?" The cousin walked to Fang Qing and wrapped the scarf around her tightly.

Fang Qing shook his head and looked at the two figures going away thoughtfully, "Cousin, did I say something a bit too much just now?"

Daya smiled nonchalantly, "In my opinion, that's exactly what he said. You don't have to feel bad. He's strong. Let's go. If you don't go back, my mother will be worried."

After this meeting by the river, Sun Changqing really stopped bothering Fang Qing, and even didn't even look at him when they met again. But Sun's parents were always on guard every time they saw Fang Qing, so Fang Qing simply stood farther away and ignored those looks.

Outside the clan ancestral hall, with the whole village, young and old, bowing and burning incense, the Liujiagou ancestor worship activities were finally completed at the end of the twelfth lunar month.

After the ancestor worship ceremony was over, the village chief also took the opportunity to announce something.

According to the instructions in the above documents, the new land contract system began to be implemented in Liujiagou, and villagers who are interested in land contracting can go to the brigade to discuss it.

The news immediately excited the villagers. Other villages had already implemented the land contract system, but Liujiagou had not announced it for some reason, and the villagers could only watch others make money. Every household in the neighboring village had renovated their tiled houses, but Liujiagou was still poor.

Now that they have finally received this good news, every household is overjoyed and rushes to the brigade, hoping to be the first to grab the land they want.

Uncle Fang Qing also wanted to contract a piece of mountain land to plant fruit trees, but when he arrived at the brigade, he found out that the mountain land had already been contracted out to several households. There was only a piece of agricultural land along the river that no one was willing to use and had remained idle. However, considering the heavy rains every summer, the uncle backed off.

That night, the neighboring village showed a movie again. It was said that this time it was about the Tunnel War, so the boys and girls in Liujiagou made an appointment in advance and prepared to go together in the evening. Daya pestered her aunt for a long time, and finally agreed after agreeing to a series of conditions.

After dinner, Daya followed her mother's instructions. She first found several more friends, wrapped Fang Qing tightly, put a bag of melon seeds in her pocket, and walked along the road to the screening point in the neighboring village.
