Ancient Village (Love Line)
As luck would have it, they returned to the small western-style building at eight o'clock and heard the security guard say that there was an event going on in the community. Someone had brought a movie projector and a screen, and adults and children were watching a movie in the open space in the community.
As soon as Chen Jin stopped the car, Daju was eager to get out and go home. But Chen Jin said he also wanted to go to the movies, and asked Shen Baichuan if he wanted to go?
So, Daju, who insisted on breaking the door, entered the house as he wished, but found that Chen Jin turned around and walked out. After a while, he still didn't come in, so Daju followed him out again.
Shen Baichuan looked back and saw, “Daju is following.”
Chen Jin hummed proudly, "It's been so stubborn lately. It won't listen even when I talk to it nicely. It knows to follow me whenever I run outside."
The place where the movies were shown was on the road in the community. I heard that an old professor in the community had a sudden idea, thinking about the scenes of watching movies with his fellow members in the countryside. The young people in his family went out to borrow some things and started an open-air movie screening activity on the open space in the community, inviting everyone in the community to come and watch.
Quite a lot of people came, the children crowded together and sat in the front, while the older people watched with great interest, fanning themselves. There are also many young and middle-aged people standing in the corners.
"I seem to have seen this movie, but I don't remember what it was called." Chen Jin recalled: "Before the commune was abolished, the commune would notify the village when it showed a movie, and almost everyone in our village would go out to watch the movie. Some people even went there in advance to help reserve seats."
At that time, the main roads were not paved and people in the village had just started to have enough food to eat. Those who are watching with great interest may not be watching a movie.
"Xiao Chen, Teacher Shen, why don't you go to the front?"
"Hello, Professor Kong. We can just take a look here."
Professor Kong nodded and asked her to visit him when she was free, and said that he hadn't seen her in the community for several days. Chen Jin agreed.
Professor Kong was just about to walk forward with a small stool in his hand when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw the two young people were quite close to each other, but it was nothing, they were not holding hands or putting their arms around each other's shoulders. He thought he was overthinking it. He smiled, shook his head and walked forward.
Daju was reluctant to go out just now, but now he is having a lot of fun. He jumped up to find Xiaobai at Professor Shen's house, and they started playing together again...
Chen Jin pulled Shen Baichuan to the side and whispered, “Let Daju take the blame for the trouble he caused. I need to stay away from him. Professor Shen will come to complain to me later.”
Shen Baichuan's mind was focused on the action of her pulling his hand just now. The residual warmth on his arm was still there. Chen Jin acted as if nothing had happened and quickly let go of his hand. He put his hands on his hips, stood on tiptoe, and looked up at the movie on the screen in front of him.
They arrived late and only watched the movie for about twenty minutes before it ended. Many people in front of us were still not satisfied and said they would come again to watch it tomorrow night, so they came early.
Chen Jin laughed and said, "Then I'll come early tomorrow night as well."
Shen Baichuan sighed in his heart, he also wanted to come, but it was too inconvenient to live in the small western-style building, and he sometimes had to go back to the villa in Jingshan Park.
Following the main group back, everyone was excitedly discussing tonight's movie and the stories of some people who had gone to the countryside to work in the fields. There were too many voices, making Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan less noticeable. Even if someone sees them walking side by side, they would only think that young people have topics to talk about.
The next day, Shen Baichuan still followed Chen Jin's car out.
The security guard looked at the two of them carefully, and his previous speculation came to his mind again. But it’s not easy to confirm it with others in person. Oh, it’s so heartbreaking. What is going on?
Shen Baichuan resumed his busy life, and he had to go to Beijing for a few days for some urgent matters. He was on his way to the airport when he remembered to call Chen Jin to tell him about this.
Chen Jin told him to concentrate on his work and joked, "Don't worry, everyone at home is busy recently and doesn't have time to get together for dinner."
She is also busy. The storefront has been renovated and it will be time to start hanging the clothes after a few days of drying. She also asked Uncle Wang to help keep an eye on the transactions of nearby factories and see who went to the factory opposite.
Even Big Orange was not idle. When cats and dogs from the nearby housing estate came over, it and Big Yellow were busy fighting. Uncle Wang has complained to her several times, saying that Daju likes to fight and needs to be controlled. Chen Jin spread her hands and said: How can she control her family's living ancestor!
It was not until the 24th that Zhou Ding called her and reminded her not to forget to go back to school to work.
How could she forget about going to work? ! Knowing that the three of them had gone back to work, Chen Jin asked, "Nothing weird happened in the academy, right?"
"What do you mean? That guy Wu Kai? He came to our office again to ask if you've been to work. He must be sick. He came to ask before the holiday and before the school starts. Teacher He told him to go flush the toilet in the college when he's free and not to come to our office anymore."
Chen Jin laughed out loud. Ever since Teacher He decided to take the accounting exam, he has become more confident and his words have become more direct.
Patting the desk calendar on the table, Chen Jin sighed and decided to forget about traveling this summer because he couldn't go. In fact, it would be possible to take two or three days off to go out, but no one would go with her. Even Chen Yongan is busy. He used to be struggling to do odd jobs at the beginning, but now he is doing very well and says he will stick with it until the day before school starts.
She guessed he could earn a lot of money doing odd jobs.
Geng Xin in the office next door finally had some free time and was waiting for the store to open.
When Chen Jin heard his uncle say that he was going to stay in an ancient village for two days to relax, he immediately packed his luggage, took Daju with him, and went to the ancient village to laze around. I sleep until I wake up naturally every day. When I’m hungry, I go to the noodle shop or small restaurant in the ancient village to eat. I also sit under the big banyan tree to enjoy the cool and daydream for half a day.
It’s a pity that I didn’t catch the lotus pond when it was at its most beautiful, otherwise I could have taken a boat to enjoy the lotus flowers. At night, you can see the stars when you look up, and fall asleep to the sound of gurgling water.
"I have to go back tomorrow morning. I'm a little reluctant."
Chen Jin glanced at his uncle and aunt who were also lying in the rocking chair. "Uncle, when are you going to retire and go to the village to buy land, build a house, and grow vegetables and trees? When the time comes, call me, and I will also build a building. If I don't want to go to work, I will stay in the village. Oh, I can go back during the summer vacation..."
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
"You're daydreaming here, let's go check out the vegetable patch in the back."
What’s so good about the vegetable garden at the back? Chen Jin raised his head and looked upward. The big banyan tree blocked most of the sunlight. The light that shone through the gaps between the leaves made him drowsy.
After a while, I felt like there was something blocking me from above. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Baichuan, who had said on the phone last night that his return date was uncertain.
"You're back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Chen Jin's eyes flashed with surprise. He patted the rocking chair next to him and asked him to sit down and enjoy the cool air. "It's much cooler here than in the city. You're not in a hurry to go back later, are you? The restaurant next door has a...just staring at me without saying anything?"
Shen Baichuan rested his hands on the armrest beside the rocking chair, leaned over to look at her, a smile on his face, “We haven’t seen each other for a few days, I missed you a little, so I came here.”
"Only a little thought?" Chen Jin also looked back. His eyesight was so good that he could see himself in his eyes. It was just that the glasses on Shen Baichuan's nose were a bit annoying.
Shen Baichuan chuckled, reached out and grabbed her hand on the armrest, and squatted next to the rocking chair. From where she was, across a country road, there was a large lotus pond.
After their fingers were intertwined, he looked away to look at her fingers. He touched her fingertips with his other hand and said, "Your nails are beautifully manicured."
Chen Jin saw his ears turning red little by little, and he held back his laughter, thinking: Could it be that he really couldn't find anything to talk about, so he could only compliment her on her manicure? !
"When you go to the beauty salon, they will help you trim your nails. Don't your nails look nice? They're painted with a layer of light pink..." Chen Jin really couldn't say anything more. He held her left hand and she smiled and leaned on his shoulder. "We really have nothing to talk about."
After she said this, Shen Baichuan felt much more at ease. I remembered that her uncle and aunt were also coming, so I just remembered to look back. Fortunately, no one was there.
"Aren't you tired of squatting? If you don't want to sit in the rocking chair, go get a stool and sit on it." Chen Jin tightened her fingers and suddenly felt that Shen Baichuan's hands were like iron claws, making her hands look light and weak.
"I'm not tired yet." Shen Baichuan squatted for a while, and when he felt tired, his calves stiffened for a while, and his feet were numb...
Chen Jin laughed at him and said, "I knew your feet would be numb. I told you to find a stool but you didn't listen."
Shen Baichuan was helpless, but she was reluctant to let go, but she just wanted to laugh. He went to the side and moved a small stool over to sit down, resting his right elbow on the armrest of the rocking chair, and asked, "Where's Daju?"
Suddenly, he found Chen Jin's hand touching him, and his palm was against his, saying, "Let's do this. It's hot. Holding hands like this won't make you sweat."
Then, Chen Jin added: "This time, there is no big orange to give you an excuse. It ran to the village to play with its friends."
Shen Baichuan lowered his head and chuckled. She was talking about the day when they just confirmed their relationship. He said that his palms were sweating because Daju's paws were on them and it was too hot.
"Move over a little, so I can take a nap. It's so comfortable here, I don't want to go back to the city." Chen Jin leaned his head over and closed his eyes, still chattering: "My uncle said he wanted to buy a piece of land here to build a house, I don't know if it will work. If my uncle wants to buy it, then I want to buy it too. There are mountains, water and ponds, next summer vacation, I will definitely come here to row a boat..."
Chen Jin also put his other hand over, unable to resist his curiosity, and pinched Shen Baichuan's arm, muttering to himself: "It is still useful to get up every morning to run and exercise."
In the past, I never thought about looking for a partner based on body shape. It was just because I talked too much with Yang Qian and Lin Xinran... Well, I'm embarrassed to say what we talked about. I thought to myself: Hey, this time we’re not talking about boiled chicken, that’s okay.
"Chen Jin..." Shen Baichuan's body tensed for a while, then slowly relaxed. Chen Jin is now becoming less and less distant with him, which shows that the previous strategy was correct. Chasing Chen Jin is like boiling a frog in warm water.
Shen Baichuan also leaned over and rubbed his chin against her head. "If you buy land and build a house here, give me a share. I can build it myself, or live in yours. But..." But it would be a waste to build a house by myself.
Chen Jin was quick to speak, and immediately said, "Okay, then you can build one yourself."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, she chuckled. She could cure every stubborn person.
My uncle and aunt came back from the vegetable field at the back, talking and laughing. Just when they were about to call Chen Jin, they found that Chen Jin's head was resting on the shoulder of the man next to him. When they looked carefully, oh, it was not someone else, but Shen Baichuan.
I feel relieved.
My aunt stopped him and whispered, "Young people are dating, why are you joining in the fun? Come with me to the end of the village to take a look. Let's go!"
My uncle scratched his head, thinking that he shouldn't disturb them, but he wanted to tell them to be careful about the impact when they were outside. However, he was dragged away and not allowed to speak, which made him feel very frustrated.
Halfway through the journey, they saw Daju, who was following the cats and dogs in the village, and the uncle encouraged Daju to go back to find the third sister.
Then the village road was filled with the voice of my aunt: "You are really bored! You ask questions about your child before he has a date, and you go to sabotage him after he has one..."
After dinner in the evening, Chen Jin said he wanted to go out for a walk with Shen Baichuan. It was not yet dark, and the creek in the village was bustling with children playing in the water.
After everyone left, the uncle snorted and said, "Is she here to relax or to date? I should have known not to call her. She's an eyesore."
After saying this, my aunt rolled her eyes and said that he was just worrying about other people's business.
As soon as Shen Baichuan got off the plane, he took a taxi here, brought his luggage with him, and asked for a room next to Chen Jin.
After taking a shower, Chen Jin came out to the corridor to look at the stars for a while. The store will officially open the day after tomorrow, so I have to go back tomorrow morning. As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw my uncle leaning on the railing in the corridor as if he was thinking about something, so I asked, "Uncle, why aren't you sleeping?"
The uncle didn't turn around and said, "It's okay, I'll just stay here and watch."
After a while, Shen Baichuan also came out after washing up. Chen Jin told him to go out and look at the stars at night. When he saw his uncle, he paused.
"Baichuan is out too, which is great. The stars are so beautiful today. Come on, let's sit down and chat. I heard from my third sister that you went to Beijing recently? Tell your uncle about Beijing now."
"good."
So the three of them sat in the corridor, chatting and admiring the stars, and my aunt went to bed early. We chatted until eleven o'clock. My uncle couldn't stand it anymore and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. Let's go. I'll watch you go into the house. Third sister, please close the door tightly when you go to bed. Baichuan, you should go to bed early too."
Chen Jin didn't think much about it at first, but now after hearing this, she finally understood why her uncle had to drag Shen Baichuan here to talk about Beijing, Shenzhen, and their Qiaodong Village. It turned out that he was afraid that she and Shen Baichuan would sleep in the same room.
The uncle doesn’t trust Shen Baichuan, so can he not trust her?
Chen Jin felt both angry and amused, and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I'm going to bed, and I won't open the door at night. Let's go, Daju, and go back to sleep."
The next morning, after having breakfast at a breakfast stall in the village, Chen Jin stuffed everything into his bag and went downstairs with a thump of his foot.
As they drove out of the ancient village, Chen Jin kept muttering, "Uncle, if you really want to come here to buy land, you must take me with you."
"Let's talk about it after we buy it. It's hard to buy now. Baichuan, do you want to buy it?"
Without waiting for Shen Baichuan to reply, Chen Jin said, “He won’t buy it. It would be a waste if he bought too much.”
My uncle snorted heavily and stopped talking to them. He turned to look out the window, at the mountains and the water, but he didn't want to look at the two people in front of him.
Seeing Shen Baichuan and Chen Jin coming back again, the gossipy look in the doorman’s eyes could no longer be concealed.
Chen Jin didn't let him guess for any longer.
After returning, Shen Baichuan said that he would move back to the small western-style building from today, and would go out later to buy some food for the house.
Chen Jin called Geng Xin to confirm that everything was ready for the opening tomorrow. He just needed to take some time to go over and take a look, and he didn't want to go back to the company. I rarely have any free time, so I spent the whole afternoon cleaning the house. It was not until the evening that I changed my clothes and went out to ring the doorbell of the house next door.
“Shen Baichuan, go out to buy food.”
Shen Baichuan carried the vegetable basket, and Chen Jin strutted through the community holding his arm.
Professor Kong saw them from a distance and waved a large palm leaf fan to greet them: "Xiao Chen, go out and buy some groceries... Hey, you two?!"
