"Finally back! Thank you for your hard work, uncle~~~"
Jiang Henian looked out at the familiar big dead tree not far away, put his arm around He Jinshan's waist and shook him childishly, saying sweetly, "You are amazing!"
He Jinshan turned around and looked at her with a smile: "Go straight back?"
The man who rode back and forth on the mountain road for 20 kilometers carrying people did not show any signs of fatigue on his face. He was still refreshed and even smiled more.
Jiang Henian nodded happily, "Yeah, yeah!"
He Jinshan continued riding towards Huagou Village, while she sat behind him and was busy taking out the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative from the space.
The newly bought cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles are already on my feet.
The thermos, enamel pot, cut cloth, and some household items and daily necessities were placed in an enamel basin on his legs, held sideways.
In his other hand, he held two oil-paper bags tied with hemp ropes and a net bag containing a tungsten filament bulb and a kerosene lamp.
She arranged herself into the pose of "a newlywed couple going to the city for shopping" and even found time to peel two old-fashioned White Rabbit candies she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, and put one into her mouth.
The other one stretched out his hand and handed it to the front, saying crisply, "He Jinshan, have a White Rabbit!"
The man tilted his head and put the candy into his mouth. His thin lips happened to hold the girl's slender fingertips. He bit them lightly teasingly before letting go.
The bicycle turned the last corner, and the big dead tree at the village entrance was right in front of me. I asked with a smile:
"Are you ready?"
Jiang Henian's face was rosy. She pinched her slightly moist fingertips, held the basin bag with both hands, and said confidently, "It's all right!"
The two men had already discussed that when they returned, they would definitely be seen by many people from one end of the village to the other.
From jumping into the river last night to the Jiang family chasing people all over the village today, the matter has become a big uproar. It would be better for them to just appear together as a legal couple so that they don't have to bring it up on every household's dinner table.
Although people will still talk about it, there is a world of difference between taking the initiative to declare and being passively suspected.
"Er Man Ye!"
A skinny old man with a white beard was dozing off on a small wooden stick under a big dead tree when he was awakened by Jiang Henian's crisp call.
The small erhu glasses slid down the thin, bony bridge of his nose, revealing a pair of gray, old eyes.
"Eh...who is it?"
Wang Erman opened his cloudy eyes, looked at the shadow in front of him, and spoke very slowly.
"I, He Nian!"
"Please extend your hand. Here are some White Rabbit candies."
The old man took a long time to react before nodding, "Oh oh... Crybaby."
Jiang Henian was embarrassed, and quickly glanced at He Jinshan, then leaned over and put the candy in the old man's hand, which was like a dry branch.
"Here's some candy. Take it and eat it. It's windy now, so we should go home early."
After saying that, she tugged at He Jinshan's clothes and urged him to drive.
He Jinshan glanced back at her with a subtle smile and stepped into the village.
"Crying baby?"
There was a clear hint of sarcasm in the man's voice.
Jiang Henian rubbed his forehead against his back sheepishly and said, "Don't call me that!"
That time, Jiang Henian's medical book was torn up, and she ran to the village entrance crying, wanting to go to town to buy tape. It was the old man who told her that a donkey cart would be available soon. She later strolled to the village entrance and spoke to the old man twice.
Wang Erman is the oldest person in Huagou Village and is 87 years old.
He used to be a teacher in a private school. As he got older, his eyesight became worse, so he loved to slowly walk from his home to sit under the big dead tree and listen to the noises of the villagers coming and going.
He would sit there all day long, like the village's old door god mascot. The villagers called him "Er Man Ye".
Jiang Henian just gave the first piece of wedding candy to the old man for good luck.
But she didn't expect the old man to call her a crybaby again, which was quite embarrassing in front of He Jinshan.
After entering the village, they passed many farmlands along the way. The two of them once again maximized their exposure, and even an old man from the He family asked directly.
"Going into the mountains! Getting married?"
"Yes, I married her."
The man responded straightforwardly and confidently, which surprised everyone. Their eyes fell on the girl behind him in surprise.
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they all smiled and said a few words of congratulations.
Jiang Henian sat sideways in the back seat with his arms full of household items. His posture seemed natural, but his back was actually straight, and he didn't relax until he had passed that section of the road.
Later on, I got completely used to it, and my big eyes rolled around, looking left and right.
Along the way, she whispered gossip to He Jinshan, about who was slacking off at work, and which little kid got spanked for making trouble in the fields, which made the man laugh.
Wang Yuenniu followed behind her mother, grunting as she pushed the cart full of sweet potatoes.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and she looked up and was stunned.
"He Nian!"
“What are you doing???”
Jiang Henian turned around and saw Wang Yuenniu. He waved and smiled, grabbed two large White Rabbits from the basin and threw them out. "Next, wedding candy~~"
Wedding candy? !!!
Wang Yuenniu was completely shocked. She grabbed the candy and ran after the car.
"Wait! Who?! Who are you married to?!"
"How come you're faster than my brother!!!"

After Jiang Yanqiu came out of Jiang's house, she caught up with Sun Zuo at the corner of the road, despite the villagers' inquiring gazes.
"Sun Zuo! I'll go with you!"
Sun Zuo paused, looked back at the woman with a forced smile, said nothing, turned around and continued walking.
Jiang Yanqiu suppressed the shame and bitterness in her heart and followed closely.
"Are they really a couple?"
