I used to think she had a good personality, but later on, as she became more and more arrogant and unreasonable, I didn't want to pay much attention to her.

When his hand touched the edge of his pocket, Jiang Xiaohui remembered the letter sent by his parents inside. He looked at Qi Qingmei walking towards him with his body stiff.

"Brother Xiaohui, you are here in the county too." Qi Qingmei looked at Jiang Xiaohui, her depressed mood gone, and said happily.

Jiang Xiaohui hummed softly, "Do you want to go back?"

"Okay, I won't buy anything." If what I want to buy is not available, I can only come back tomorrow.

The two walked slowly. Qi Qingmei wanted to follow Jiang Xiaohui back to Taoyuan Village so that they could chat about personal matters along the way. But when she thought about how tired Jiang Xiaohui was from work every day, she was reluctant to let him go back alone.

They happened to meet a ox cart returning to the village. They gave the driver two cents and climbed onto the cart.

Jiang Xiaohui sat at the outside of the ox cart, glanced at the entrance of the state-owned hotel, and then looked away with disappointment.

In the past, he only regretted that he discovered that he liked Shen Qinghe too late, and when he knew it, she was already married.

Thinking of the letter his father wrote, even if Shen Qinghe was single now, he would not consider her again.

His life cannot be limited to love affairs. He has great ambitions and will not be confined to one place. He has greater ideals and aspirations. He must leave Taoyuan Village and return to the city so that he can have better development.

"Brother Xiaohui, drink some water. You haven't drunk this yet." Qi Qingmei explained with a smile, fearing that Jiang Xiaohui would dislike her.

Jiang Xiaohui looked at the army green kettle that Qi Qingmei handed over, and felt very conflicted.

He drank it, which meant he was going to accept her.

But I don’t understand where his future lies.

After struggling for a few seconds, Jiang Xiaohui slowly took it and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Qi Qingmei's little face flushed with excitement as she looked at Jiang Xiaohui eagerly.

She thought she would have to use many tricks to make him accept her.

Jiang Xiaohui unscrewed the lid, took two sips of water and didn't drink any more.

Along the way, Qi Qingmei chattered non-stop, and Jiang Xiaohui responded incoherently.

After returning to Taoyuan Village, Qi Qingmei reluctantly said goodbye to Jiang Xiaohui.

Jiang Xiaohui ran towards the educated youth point as if he was escaping. His patience had reached its limit!

Qi Qingmei, "..."

Was he in such a hurry to go to the bathroom that he didn't even have time to say goodbye to her?

"Aunt, is there anything delicious?" Qi Dongming was still thinking about what his aunt had said about buying him some candy. Every time his aunt came back from the county town, he would ask her the same question.

Qi Qingmei said calmly, "Be obedient, auntie didn't buy any delicious food today."

Liang Lu curled the corner of her mouth sarcastically, probably because he had just finished eating.

The father-in-law loves his daughter very much and will give any spare money he has to Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei was greedy and ran to the county town without even waiting for the change to stay overnight.

Even if you want to lie, please be serious and wipe your mouth before coming back.

It was obvious that Xiao couldn't see it, but she didn't believe that other people in the Qi family couldn't see it.

It's just favoring Qi Qingmei.

"Qingmei." Qi Zhongcai came close to his sister and said with a smile, "Jiang Zhiqing's parents sent him money today. He asked our father for leave in the afternoon to go to the county to get the money."

"Since he's dating you, he should show some appreciation. He went to the county town, and you went to the county town too. Did he buy you something delicious?"

Qi Zhongcai realized that his sister was a foodie, so he asked directly if anyone had bought her anything to eat, instead of asking anything else.

Qi Qingmei's expression froze. She then remembered that she met Jiang Xiaohui in front of the state-owned hotel and he did not mention this matter.

"Well, of course. Brother Xiaohui invited me to dinner at a state-owned restaurant." Qi Qingmei lied to save face for Jiang Xiaohui.

Liang Lu looked at Qi Qingmei in surprise when she heard this. She was an experienced person and could see things that some men could not see.

That Jiang Zhiqing doesn't like Qi Qingmei as much as she says. He invites her to a state-owned restaurant for dinner?

Why doesn't she believe it?

"Really? That's great." Qi Zhongcai was happy for his sister, "You like Jiang Zhiqing, as long as he treats you well, that's fine.

Although I think it would be better for you to find a local who knows you well, and with my father and me around, no one in your in-laws would dare to bully you, but if you return to the city with Jiang Zhiqing in the future and encounter difficulties, we, who are so far away, will not be able to help you much. "

Qi Zhongcai is different from Qi Fusheng. He really loves his sister and wants her to marry in front of him so that he can take care of her if anything happens.

Qi Fusheng also loves his daughter, but he is happy to see Qi Qingmei and Jiang Xiaohui together, more for the sake of face.

Jiang Xiaohui's parents are both working in the provincial capital, so it would be very respectable to say this to others.

"Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I just want to marry him." Qi Qingmei looked at Qi Zhongcai and said perfunctorily.

Even if she had to be an old maid all her life, she would never marry a peasant.

If you go to work at dawn, what future will you achieve in your life?

Like her brother and father, digging for food in the fields all their lives?

She doesn't want such a cowardly man.

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Qi Zhongcai reached out to touch his sister's hair lovingly, but Qi Qingmei dodged his hand. He didn't care, thinking that his sister had grown up and knew how to be shy.

In fact, Qi Qingmei was disgusted.

Lying comes at a price. Qi Qingmei lied to the Qi family that Jiang Xiaohui had invited her to dinner at a state-owned restaurant, but there was no room for her at the dinner.

The Qi family sat together to eat, and Qi Qingmei sat in the house, her stomach growling with hunger.

…

Shen Qinghe had a full meal and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy ingredients for snacks. Jiang Chunlin was about to pay, but she paid first.

"This money is enough." Shen Qinghe put all the ingredients into the snakeskin bag.

Jiang Chunlin frowned, feeling inexplicably irritated. "I've given you all my money, so what difference does it make who pays?"

Of course there is a difference!

Shen Qinghe didn't want to argue with Jiang Chunlin outside, so she said nothing and walked out with the snakeskin bag.

Jiang Chunlin snatched it away and tied the snakeskin bag to the side of the bicycle's back seat.

He glanced at the uneven road surface, took off his shirt and put it on the back seat of the car, "Get in the car."

Shen Qinghe shook her head, "You ride first, and then I'll jump on."

Shen Qinghe had limited opportunities to ride a bicycle as a child, and she wanted to relive that joy.

Jiang Chunlin did not force it, and rode the bicycle very slowly. The back seat sank, and he said, "Hold on tight. If you fall and get hurt, I will send you back to your mother's home."

Shen Qinghe, "..."

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. If you get sick from anger, no one can replace you!

Shen Qinghe repeated it several times in her mind before she suppressed her anger.

The tractor road was uneven, and Shen Qinghe almost fell off the vehicle several times. She hurriedly hugged Jiang Chunlin's waist and let go when the vehicle was no longer bumpy.

After repeating this several times, she simply pulled his clothes around his waist.

When they returned home, He Xiuyun and the others had already eaten and there was food left for them on the table.

Shen Qinghe was very full, so naturally she couldn't eat any more.

Jiang Chunlin was not hungry, so he put the food in a bamboo basket and used the well rope to lower it into the well. The low temperature in the well kept the food fresh and he could heat it up and eat it the next day.

Seeing Shen Qinghe busy making snacks, Jiang Chunlin helped her.

It took more than an hour for Shen Qinghe to prepare all the snacks, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Take a rest. I'll heat up some water for you to take a bath."

Shen Qinghe was indeed tired, so she sat at the door fanning herself.

"Qinghe, whose bicycle is this?" He Xiuyun came back from the river and asked in surprise when she saw a brand new bicycle parked at the door.
