Wang Jingxia didn't recognize Lao Huatou, but she recognized Hua Qingping.
In such an unfamiliar village, Wang Jingxia's eyes lit up when a familiar face suddenly appeared and she greeted him.
"It's you, Comrade Hua Qingping!"
Hua Qingping blushed slightly and smiled embarrassedly:
"We can be considered to know each other now, so you can call me Qingping."
Hua Tiansheng glanced at his son and left without saying a word. He never liked to pay attention to this naughty little son.
As Hua Tiansheng left, Hua Erniu and the others glanced at the two of them and said:
"Auntie, let's go catch loaches!"
Wang Jingxia responded:
"Hey, watch out for snakes!"
After the younger ones left, only Hua Qingping and Wang Jingxia were left on the field, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
In this era, there was still a certain degree of separation between men and women. Being too close was considered hooliganism. But being too distant was also something Wang Jingxia felt unwilling to accept. After all, Hua Qingping was one of the few people Wang Jingxia knew here.
Hua Qingping was a little shy and didn't want to be too far away from Wang Jingxia, but now he had no topic to talk about. He was a little panicked, afraid that the other party would ask him to leave.
Then an idea suddenly struck him, and he suddenly remembered the few tricks he had wanted to learn from her before, and he immediately spoke to break the awkward atmosphere:
"Jingxia... Can I call you Jingxia? The way you caught the thief before was so cool! Do you know any martial arts? Can you teach me?"
Wang Jingxia also seemed to be relieved and nodded immediately:
"Of course I can! I wasn't in good health when I was little, so my dad found a master to teach me martial arts and train me. Even though I'm not very good at it, I can still do some fancy moves!"
After thinking for a while, Wang Jingxia smiled and said:
"How about this, I'm not familiar with the village either. Look for a place with fewer people and a larger area. We'll meet here tomorrow at five o'clock. You take me there and I'll teach you how to practice!"
"well!"
Hua Qingping was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised.
After another pause, Hua Qingping scratched his head and said:
"Then Jingxia, I'm going home to eat. See you tomorrow morning!"
Wang Jingxia smiled and nodded: "See you tomorrow morning."
On the way home, although it was only a few steps, Hua Qingping's mind seemed to flash with many messy thoughts. Sometimes it was the scene of catching the thief that day, sometimes it was Wang Jingxia's smiling face, and sometimes it was the appointment for tomorrow.
In short, he was happy and felt very happy, just like he was holding in his urine and finally released it.
This joy made him forget that there was an uninvited guest at home. As soon as he opened the door, the face smiling at him at the dining table suddenly woke Hua Qingping up.
Yes, Zhou Baozhen is still pestering me.
Hua Qingping immediately realized that he had to stay away from Zhou Baozhen in the future. He didn't care much about the other person's reputation, but he still cared about his own reputation.
Thinking of this, Hua Qingping said to Zhou Baozhen:
"Baozhen, you are a good girl, but I will never marry you. Don't be so self-indulgent in the future."
These words made Zhou Baozhen feel embarrassed.
Her face gradually turned red, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
In order to ease the embarrassment, she lowered her head to eat, and didn't even dare to pick up any food. As she ate, tears welled up in her eyes.
Although it wasn't exposed, everyone at the dinner table saw it, so no one said anything.
Hua Qingping knew that this would embarrass the little girl, but what should he say?
If he had shown more mercy, this little girl would have thought she had hope and would have kept pestering him.
It would be better to say it directly. Although it would be embarrassing for a while, there are only family members present, no one will tell anyone, and it can also put an end to the little girl's fantasy.
After saying this, Hua Qingping served the rice calmly as usual, sat down at the table and started eating.
The atmosphere at the table was silent for a while, and then Zhou Yujiao spoke:
"Baozhen, tomorrow ask your mom and dad to find Hongniang to introduce you to a good guy. Qingping is a weird guy and not suitable for you."
Although this statement was meant to disparage the brother-in-law, it was also meant to save face for the girl.
Wan Qingliu also comforted:
"Yujiao is right. This kid was even chased and beaten by his father with a dung shovel this year. This childish man doesn't care about others and is not worthy of a good girl like you!"
To be honest, although the Zhou family is not very good, the little girl Zhou Baozhen does not have any major problems. At least she has not shown any bad behavior so far.
Although the pursuit was a bit aggressive, Wan Qingliu didn't know what others thought, as he had no prejudice at all.
Then isn’t it popular in later generations to take the initiative to seize opportunities?
If you don’t take the initiative, how do you know if you have a chance?
If neither of them takes the initiative, a good marriage may be missed.
I guess it was a rare moment of courage for the little girl, and she must have felt traumatized by this rejection. After all, this behavior was somewhat inconsistent with the concepts of this era.
But if the two of them are not destined to be together, you can't force it, so this is the only way to comfort her.
In the end, Zhou Baozhen left with tears in her eyes. It was getting late, so Hua Xuguo and Zhou Yujiao escorted her home.
After sending Zhou Baozhen to her doorstep, the couple turned around and left. They didn't want to have anything to do with Old Man Zhou's family.
Although the sky had darkened at this time, it was not completely dark yet, and the outlines of some scenery could still be vaguely seen in the twilight.
The couple returned to the village with flashlights. When they passed by the public toilet in the village, they heard a faint rustling sound coming from the bamboo forest next to the toilet.
Zhou Yujiao rubbed her arms and whispered, "Don't you think there's anyone in there?"
