Ye Qingshui went to see Xuehuashuang and Pechoin.
She arrived at the skin care products counter, where there were only a few simple skin care products under the glass cover. The packaging was very simple, and there were posters of female stars on the empty space on the counter. At this moment, Ye Qingshui felt a real sense of the times.
The actress with disheveled hair, round face and charming eyes is naturally beautiful. The crude picture quality still cannot hide her innocent beauty.
The rough quality of the film, the simple and childish packaging, and the scarce goods all reminded me of the 1970s. Ye Qingshui took out two yuan and successfully bought what Xie Tingyu wanted, and also paid for two cents of fruit candy.
When fructose is thrown into the mouth, it has a strong taste of saccharin, and the taste of time is even stronger.
The salesperson rarely met such a generous customer. She thought this customer would keep pestering her for a long time! Although these two skin care products were not expensive, their sales in the county were not very good. It was already very good to sell one box a day. What's more, the customer's dress was so out of place compared with other customers in the department store.
The saleswoman raised her eyelids and saw a very handsome man not far away silently looking at the female customer, who was dressed more smartly than the people in the city. She immediately understood and couldn't help frowning.
The salesperson seized the opportunity and said, "Little sister, you should not just love men. You don't take care of yourself, but you make him look like a decent person."
Ye Qingshui laughed.
"It's not what you think."
She wanted to say that they were not a couple, but she thought there was no point in explaining to someone who had nothing to do with them.
When Xie Tingyu heard this, he couldn't help but touch his nose. Holding the cloth and a set of clothes in his hands, he felt a little hot in his heart.
Ye Qingshui came over and took what he was carrying. "Do you want to go sit with Zhang Yuanchao or come with me to see Teacher Zhou?"
Xie Tingyu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'll go with you."
He asked Ye Qingshui, "Why did you look at it for so long just now? Do you want it?"
Xie Tingyu asked this question very naturally. In his eyes, there was no problem in buying them all. He thought of his sister's dressing table full of items, and then looked at the lonely mirror and comb in Ye Qingshui's room. They were both girls of similar ages, but the difference between them was too great.
Ye Qingshui was stunned. He didn't expect Xie Tingyu to ask this.
She explained, "I saw a beautiful actress on her poster and I was dazzled." Ye Qingshui paused and said with emotion, "City people really know how to dress up."
Xie Tingyu hesitated for a while before saying softly, "You look good too."
You look better.
Xie Tingyu was quite reserved and thin-skinned. Words of this magnitude could kill him. He hadn't said it yet, but his face was already hot, his heart was beating a little faster, and his palms were sweating. This time, his waist, legs, and head hurt, but his heart was still happy.
Ye Qingshui was stunned for a moment and felt that Xie Tingyu was quite polite.
She said to him, "Thank you."
Xie Tingyu's fair face turned slightly red. He coughed and said lightly, "Come down soon. I'm sleepy and want to go back to sleep."
Ye Qingshui arrived at Zhou's house, and Zhou Ke had just returned from selling buns.
In his hand, he was holding the glutinous rice chicken made by Ye Qingshui. It was square-shaped, with lotus leaves opened one by one. The glutinous rice was mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves, the chestnuts were sweet and soft, and the chicken was fragrant and oily. It was very layered when you took a bite, with an enticing aroma of sauce. The rice grains were full of hot water vapor, and were fragrant and soft.
Ye Qingshui touched Zhou Ke's head and said, "Teacher Zhou helped me make the water-finding instrument and won a bonus. Teacher Zhou and I will each get half. Ke'er, keep it carefully and wait for Grandpa to come back and give it to him."
Zhou Ke knew that they were looking for a water meter. The water supply in the city was much more abundant during this period, and there was basically no water shortage. Zhou Ke took many comfortable baths. Later, a reporter came to ask him if his grandfather was called Zhou Cunren.
But in the end, they were all driven away by grandpa.
Zhou Ke didn't take Ye Qingshui's money. After he was full, he said contentedly, "Sister, Grandpa will definitely not take it."
"If Ke'er accepts it, he will definitely scold me later."
Ye Qingshui said: "This is different. This is the country's respect for intellectuals. This is something your grandfather created with his wisdom. It has a lot of uses. It solved the water problem and allowed farmers to catch up with the autumn planting. The money belongs to him."
"You take it first, and buy some nutritional supplements for Grandpa. He is so old and still working so hard. You can't bear to see it, right? Grandpa is the only grandpa we have."
Zhou Ke fell silent after hearing this. He said in a hoarse voice, "No, no, you can take it back."
Ye Qingshui stuffed the money into their cabinet, turned around, ran downstairs and disappeared.
Zhou Ke held the thick stack of Great Unity in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he sobbed and wiped away his tears.
…
Ye Qingshui ran downstairs and started riding his bike very hard.
She was still hoping that Xie Tingyu would play some more ditty for her to listen to, but on the way back, Xie Tingyu did not play any more ditty.
She had nothing to say to Xie Tingyu, and Xie Tingyu did not take the initiative to speak.
The journey lasted more than an hour and was incredibly quiet.
When Ye Qingshui was about to ride her bicycle home, she jumped off the bike and saw two young men guarding her door, seemingly waiting for someone.
When I got closer, I found that one was He Fang and the other was a male educated youth whose name Ye Qingshui couldn't even remember.
He Fang finally waited for someone to come, and her eyes lit up, but she saw two people walking together intimately, one in front and one behind.
Her eyes flashed with envy, jealousy, and many other complicated emotions, so thick that they could not be dissolved.
His face was slightly bathed in sunlight, with deep features, handsome brow bones, and a tall body that looked young and energetic.
How much she liked this man! He had outstanding knowledge, modest character, and a noble spirit. He always had a dream of shedding blood for the motherland. For him, she gave up her job in the city and followed him to the countryside. But in the end, he married a country wife who was not good in every way.
He Fang was about to speak, but she saw——
Xie Tingyu got down from the car seat, picked up Ye Qingshui, and said with a cold and apologetic look: "Wait a moment."
Ye Qingshui was held stiffly in his arms, like a weak and helpless chick, unable to break free.
Xie Tingyu's clothes had a very light scent of soapberry, mixed with the sweat on his forehead, exuding the scent of a young man, pure and dry. Ye Qingshui felt the throbbing of his chest, and his warm body temperature passed through the thin shirt and passed to her body.
Ye Qingshui's whole body was tense, her cheeks were dyed red by the heat from his body, and she wondered in her heart what was wrong with this man. Ye Qingshui was held tightly by him and led into the house.
He slammed the old door shut, and the wooden door made a "clacking" sound as it could not bear the weight.
Ye Qingshui was about to open his mouth and scold him: "What are you doing?"
But she was stunned when she looked up. Xie Tingyu was sweating all over his head, his face was a little paler than usual, and his lips had lost their rosy color. He was breathing heavily, and his body was shaking slightly.
Ye Qingshui was poured with a basin of cold water. She suddenly understood why he stopped playing the harmonica in the second half of the journey, why he urged her to come down quickly downstairs of Zhou's house, and even asked her to buy skin care products after buying clothes... She felt cheated. This taste was terrible and made her feel angry.
"Why did you lie to me? Is it okay to ruin your body like this?"
If it was Ye Qingshui in her previous life, the cautious Ye Qingshui would have been able to see through the slightest clue that something was wrong with him. He had endured it all the way for so long, but she didn't notice it at all. Ye Qingshui blamed herself.
Ye Qingshui touched his slightly cold fingertips and said, "Painkillers, wait, I'll find them for you."
Xie Tingyu frowned, his Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at Ye Qingshui with some difficulty, still trying to maintain a calm tone and said: "You...you seem to be bleeding from behind."
Xie Tingyu showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He coughed hard and repeated, "Behind you."
Ye Qingshui touched it with her hand and it was wet. She realized something and quickly ran to the bathroom to take off her pants and take a look. Seeing the reddish-brown patch made her head feel dizzy. Her first period had come!
No wonder I always feel uncomfortable and my feet are sore when riding a bicycle.
At the same time her face turned red like the clouds.
Ye Qingshui put on his pants with a flushed face, ran back to the house to get the menstrual belt and clean pants that had been prepared long ago and changed into them.
She said to He Fang with full apology: "Wait a minute, Xie Tingyu can't talk to you now."
He Fang first watched in amazement as the two people went back to the house hugging each other, and then watched them fooling around in the house in broad daylight.
She waited for a long time before politely going up and knocking on the door: "Are you free?"
In the room, Ye Qingshui couldn't look directly at Xie Tingyu, not even for a second. But seeing how weak and pitiful he looked, she gritted her teeth and poured him some water and fed him medicine.
She groaned and said, "Why do you want to go into the city today? Can't you wait until you recover from your injuries?"
Xie Tingyu took a sip of hot water and said calmly, "I didn't know the mountain road would be so bumpy."
Ye Qingshui touched his soaked back, feeling uncomfortable. This feeling was a bit complicated. On one hand, he was calm and cool, but on the other hand, he was so nervous and uncomfortable.
She was unhappy, "You didn't say anything when it was bumpy?"
Xie Tingyu swallowed the painkillers and said vaguely, "It's useless. Can I stop being dizzy just by saying it? Besides, this is what I want to do."
The window was behind Ye Qingshui's head, facing the light, so Xie Tingyu couldn't see her expression clearly. Her eyes were staring at him, and her clear and moist eyes seemed to be soaked in mist and were watery.
His voice was a little hoarse, and his heart softened when he saw that look.
Xie Tingyu touched her braid that fell to her waist and said in a voice so soft that it seemed like nothing, "Shuiya, can you help me make a set of clothes with the cloth?"
At this time, He Fang's voice came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Are you guys free?"
Ye Qingshui was feeling very anxious. She pursed her lips, frowned, and said nothing.
Xie Tingyu responded, "A little busy, what's up?"
He Fang was standing outside the door. When she heard such a soft and hoarse voice, her heart was broken. She had to tighten her face to keep her voice from changing. She clenched her fists tightly.
"Can I come in?"
Xie Tingyu thought for a moment and said, "It's not very convenient. Just tell me what you want to say."
The male educated youth who came with him and was also left outside the house touched his nose and pulled He Fang. He blushed and said, "This, this...Xie Zhiqing is really...improper."
He looked like he couldn't say anything, and cast a probing and resisting look towards the house. He said, "Don't bother me."
He Fang said loudly: "Dongmei asked you to write home. You haven't written home for a long time. Your uncle and aunt are worried about you."
Xie Tingyu in the room responded indifferently, "I know."
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Qingshui again.
Ye Qingshui wanted to throw the cloth in his face to sober him up. She said, "Not good."
The color of the cloth showed that it was for making clothes for women. Not only did he ask her to buy skin care products for his sister, he also asked her to make a set of clothes by herself. What a wishful thinking!
This is not the way to exploit labor. He is so injured, but he still wants to order her around!
Ye Qingshui was so angry that her face turned red. "I'm not feeling well and I'm not in the mood to do it."
The author has something to say:
Male educated youth: Hey, doing that in broad daylight, that’s not serious!
Pingshengjun: You old rascal! You're still touching my braid!
Brother Yu was speechless: What’s wrong with me?
