Chapter 4545 Cloud Pond

I had a tiring night and didn't sleep well.

The next day, Xia Tang slept until ten in the morning, but still couldn't get rid of the dark circles under his eyes.

She looked at the bright sky outside and cursed the person in her heart for the ten thousandth time.

She sat on the bed for a long time, rubbed her waist, and just when she was about to get up slowly, the door was pushed open from outside.

Qin Yue walked in dressed in a clean outfit, holding two lunch boxes in a net bag, with several paper bags filled with unknown contents.

Seeing Xia Tang sitting at the head of the bed, he first put the things in his hands on the table, and then hurried to her side:

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Xia Tang's lower back, rubbing it gently.

Xia Tang's original anger had mostly disappeared, but his fingers were still weakly grasping Qin Yue's arm, while pulling, he said:

"Now you finally let me sleep for a while, why didn't you let me sleep last night..."

She blushed so much that she could hardly continue.

Qin Yue chuckled, and Wocan couldn't help but float up:

"I was too happy yesterday. It's all my fault."

Xia Tang couldn't help but blush again.

Qin Yue rubbed her for a while, then told Xia Tang to get up and eat. Then the two of them got up from bed stickyly.

Before Xia Tang left yesterday, he had already talked with Ma Dafeng and Minyun.

She will take a break after getting the marriage certificate, and during this time, the two of them will be in charge of all matters in the store.

The other two newcomers serve as assistants.

After explaining everything, she went back with Qin Yue.

But I didn't expect that doing that kind of thing would be more tiring than running a store.

Is it really because of youth and hot-bloodedness?

Xia Tang secretly criticized Qin Yue again.

After breakfast, they rested for a while before going out.

During this time, they have been living in a guest house.

Everything inside and outside is cooked.

However, when the waiter at the door, whom she already knew, greeted her, Xia Tang felt guilty.

She lowered her head and heard Qin Yue cough unconsciously.

Well, it seems she is not the only one who feels guilty.

During this period, Xia Tang spent all his time in snack bars whenever he had time and rarely even went out for a stroll.

Therefore, when Qin Yue asked her where she wanted to go, she subconsciously said she wanted to go shopping.

Not only do you go shopping, you also have to go to parks and tourist attractions to make up for what you missed before.

Qin Yue first rode his big 28 bike and took her to the department store.

In fact, Xia Tang hasn't been to a department store for a long time.

After coming here again, I actually felt the long-lost freshness.

They walked around the different floors, bought a tie and an exquisite tie clip for Qin Yue, an exquisite felt hat for Xia Tang himself, two sweaters for Wu Chunmei and Qin Lian, and even bought a lot of toys for Shuigen and Niuzi.

Their hands were filled with all kinds of things, and it was difficult to carry them when they left, so they had to leave them at the counter and come back to get them after they finished shopping.

After coming out of the department store, Xia Tang said he wanted to go see Yunchi.

Yunchi was a bit far, so they parked the car in front of a department store and took the bus there.

After his rebirth, Xia Tang had never taken a bus in Yuncheng.

It feels very fresh right away.

During this period, manual ticket sales had not yet been replaced by automatic coin-operated card machines. The slender salespersons wearing blue uniforms and small hats sitting at the door looked quite representative of that era.

They found a seat at the back and sat quietly watching all kinds of people get on and off the bus.

An old man in a vest leading his granddaughter, an old craftsman selling dough figurines, carrying a straw basket full of dough figurines, and fashionable girls gathered together and chattered...

All kinds of people and all kinds of actions make this small corner of society extremely vivid.

We have arrived at Yunchi.

They followed the crowd off the bus, paid two cents at the ticket office, and received two paper tickets.

Paper park tickets are probably one of the few things that have not changed much since then.

Xia Tang held two thin pieces of paper in his hands, and couldn't help but think of the rare scene in his previous life when he and Qin Yue met again.

By then she was already thinking of getting a divorce.

But no one in the Xia family agreed.

She went to consult her eldest aunt, whom she thought was the most supportive of her, but she didn't expect that Xia Dafang, who was always mild-tempered to her, would scold her.

The reason sounded reasonable, but the actual reason was that Yu Lele went to Yunnan University and wanted to stay in school, so she needed Xie Minghui's relationship.

At that time, she was isolated and helpless, and was really discouraged.

Before I knew it, I had reached the edge of the Cloud Pond.

The Yunchi was still very clean at that time.

She looked at Yunchi quietly, perhaps thinking about death, perhaps thinking about life, or perhaps thinking about nothing.

At that time, she met Qin Yue.

She didn't know when Qin Yue saw her. After he saw her, she realized it belatedly and wiped her face with her hands.

Qin Yue didn't say anything, just handed her a handkerchief.

He said:

"If he wants to bully you, I will beat him up."

At that time, Xia Tang was afraid that Xie Minghui would see her and Qin Yue getting close, so she rejected Qin Yue's kindness in a panic.

But that scene stayed in her mind for so long.

The past slides by like flowing water.

By the time Xia Tang reacted, the two of them were already standing at the place where they had once met Qin Yue.

The young man who once had frowned eyebrows and a look of pity in his eyes, now smiled broadly, pointed at the pigeons flying not far away, and said in a rather childish way:

"Xia Tang, do you want to feed him?"

After saying that, he actually ran towards the place where the bait was sold. His head looked round from behind, like a little bear cub.

Xia Tang couldn't help but laugh as he watched the young man running away.

Sometimes, she came too late and he was precocious, and those entangled years made her even forget that he was just a young man in his early twenties.

Fortunately, everything is just right now.

Meeting him at an age when she had nothing was a rare blessing for her.

Qin Yue bought the bait, and when the two of them were feeding the pigeons, a group of pigeons immediately surrounded them.

Qin Yue scattered flowers quickly, with each hand throwing them like a celestial being.

Xia Tang fed it slowly, watching the gray-white pigeon nodding in front of her. She lowered her head to feel the moist wind blowing from the Cloud Pond. When she raised her head, she could see Qin Yue's figure not far away.

This feeling seems to be the full picture of happiness!

Xia Tang and Qin Yue wandered around Yuncheng for two days.

On the morning of the third day, I boarded the bus back to Hui County, carrying a bunch of gifts for the Qin family.

Hui County is a subordinate county of Yuncheng.

Unlike Yuncheng, which is mostly flat, Hui County is mostly mountainous.

After driving on a flat asphalt road for an hour, the mountain became gradually steeper. The bus shuttled through the mountains. The scenery looked very good, but the actual feeling was not that good.

It was almost noon when we arrived in Hui County.

The two had lunch at Huixian Bus Station and then took the local bus back to Xiayazi Village.

This type of local bus goes to every village and hamlet. In that era, it was the main means of transportation connecting the villages and hamlets with Hui County.

Therefore, there are a lot of people sitting there.

There were peddlers carrying baskets, old ladies carrying chickens and ducks on their backs, women and children wearing various ethnic costumes. There was no telling how many people could be crammed into the narrow carriage, and safe driving was impossible.

Qin Yue helped Xia Tang get on the bus first, found a seat by the window and sat down, then gave his seat to an old man who was carrying a child.

The old man spoke in his local accent and asked Qin Yue to squeeze in to sit, but Qin Yue just smiled.

The old man praised Qin Yue in a heavy accent, saying that the young man was kind and capable, and that Xia Tang was lucky. Xia Tang couldn't stop laughing when he heard this.

The car kept shaking along the uneven mountain road, and Xia Tang's body also shook with the movement of the car.

She swayed her body, leaned back in her seat, and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, I saw only greenery below the steep cliff, with dozens of houses scattered around.

We have arrived at the long-lost Xiayazi Village.

The Qin family at this moment.

Mrs. Qin, Wu Chunmei, was standing at the gate waiting, wearing a newly made ochre-red jacket with dark patterns.

When she was young, she was just an honest and dutiful daughter-in-law. Her husband passed away early, and she raised two children alone, which caused her a lot of suffering in her middle age.

But who would have thought that when he got old, he would become stronger again thanks to the blessing of his son, and he looked much younger than when he was suffering.

Wu Chunliu, who was standing by, got angry when he saw Wu Chunmei looking so worthless. When he saw her wearing brand new clothes, he felt even more jealous.

Seeing that she was getting so tired of waiting, he couldn't help but say:

"Chunmei, don't I say that if you wait at the door like this, aren't you giving face to Xia Tang?"

"If you ask me, after they come in, you should lie down in the room and wait for Qin Yue and the others to call you before you answer."

Wu Chunmei still didn't quite understand what her sister meant:

"Why am I lying in bed?"

Wu Chunliu's face was filled with disappointment:

"Isn't that eye drops for your new daughter-in-law?"

Speaking of Xia Tang, she felt even more disdainful:

"I have never seen a daughter-in-law like that. She doesn't hold a wedding banquet herself, and she also prevents Qin Yue from doing it! People say that wedding banquets are getting more and more glamorous. Look at your family. You got married so quietly! How can you live a prosperous life in the future!"

Qin Lian came in with some peanuts and melon seeds. When she heard Wu Chunliu say this, she couldn't help but say:

"Second Aunt, that's true, but I don't see that Dachao is having a good life!"

Hu Daqian is Wu Chunliu's eldest son. He emptied his family's savings to marry a wife in a grand ceremony a few years ago, but every two years they would start arguing about divorce.

Although they have not left each other, they have long since gone their separate ways, and everyone in the village knows it.

"Go away! What do you know as a little girl? Go away!"

Wu Chunliu was most afraid of others mentioning her eldest son's affairs, so she immediately put on a stern face.

Qin Lian also knew that her mother didn't want her to disobey Wu Chunliu.

She didn't say much, just walked into the house with her braid on, and took out the big red fruit plates used during the New Year, and two large plates piled high with peanuts, melon seeds, and candies.

Although the situation these days is not as bad as before when people were starving, the farmers are still not well off.

Snacks like peanuts and melon seeds are usually only available during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as Qin Lian took out the two large plates, the children waiting in the yard immediately cheered.

Qin Lian gave one of them to Shui Gen'er to hold, and carried the other one herself, placing them on the long table at the entrance.

Shui Gener immediately stood there, his face stiffened like a child king:

"Come one by one, each person has a certain amount. Don't give me more than you can give me!"
