028 I came here because you didn't want me anymore
"Isn't that the guy in front?" Gao Qingmiao asked suspiciously.
On the day Gao Qinghe was discharged from the hospital, Mrs. Tian was not there. Upon hearing this, she was confused and asked, "Do you know him?"
Huang Ying and Gao Qinghe, the stepmother and daughter, said in unison: "I don't know him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in pink in front suddenly turned around and looked at him.
When her eyes fell on Gao Qinghe, she couldn't help but wave in surprise.
"Comrade Gao Qinghe!"
Gao Qinghe: “…”
Ouyang Yan ran over excitedly. It was her first time in Xiahe Village. She didn't expect that there were so many rural residents in this countryside.
As soon as she got off the car, she looked up at the foot of the bridge across from her and saw houses of varying heights.
I groped my way to the village intersection with trepidation, but got stuck at the fork in the road.
She only knew that Brother Zhou's home was in Xiahe Village, but she didn't know which detachment it was from.
She originally wanted to find someone to ask, but the people passing by were all old men and women speaking in a dialect, making it impossible to communicate.
Seeing Gao Qinghe at this moment is like seeing a relative.
She reached out and wanted to hold Gao Qinghe's hand.
Gao Qinghe turned aside calmly.
Ouyang Yan felt a little embarrassed because she didn't get to shake her hand, but she soon smiled again.
"Comrade Gao Qinghe, it's great to meet you. You must know where his home is, right?"
Old Mrs. Tian and Huang Ying exchanged glances. This girl from the city has come all the way to the countryside to chase someone?
However, both mother and daughter were not gossipy people, so they left first.
Ouyang Yan seemed to have just noticed the existence of Huang Ying and Old Lady Tian, and gave them a brief smile.
Gao Qinghe didn't want to be bothered by her, so he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhou's house.
"Secretary Zhou's home is in the Second Detachment. Just follow this road until you reach the end. There's a yew tree in front of the door."
After saying that, he called Gao Qingmiao, who was full of curiosity, and followed the pace of the elders in front.
Ouyang Yan thanked him and followed.
In order to keep up with Gao Qinghe, she even took a few short jogs to keep pace with her.
"Comrade Qing He, is your family also this way?"
"Um."
Ouyang Yan slapped her forehead and said, "Yeah, that's right, you are neighbors, so your houses must be together."
She glanced at the siblings and asked, "Did you just come back from the fields after working?"
I thought the clothes I wore when I went out to work were quite clean.
Gao Qingmiao's mouth twitched fiercely, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
But in the end, seeing the elder sister's expression, he shut up.
No one spoke to her. Ouyang Yan finally felt Gao Qinghe's coldness and followed her angrily.
In fact, she was still a little scared when she went to the countryside alone.
Even if Gao Qinghe was impatient, she didn't want to go alone.
Seeing that she was tactful and didn't bother him anymore, Gao Qinghe let her go.
The brother and sister walked in front, and Ouyang Yan followed behind.
As for Huang Ying and Old Lady Tian who had passed away earlier, only their distant figures remained.
Since he couldn't catch up, Gao Qinghe simply slowed down and walked slowly on the country road.
Most of the young and strong people in the village go to the market, and the children are all in school. It is rare for Shanghe Village to be so quiet.
A group of birds returning south flew out of the distant mountains and forests, chirping loudly.
Green grass has grown in the uncultivated fields, and a few unattended old oxen are grazing on the delicious young grass.
The water in the ditch is gurgling and clear, and you can see the bottom, which is filled with colorful stones.
On the small hill by the roadside, new buds sprouted from an old locust tree that required four or five people to hug.
In the previous life, the villagers cut down the tree to build an activity square here.
It had been a long time since I last saw it, so Gao Qinghe stopped unconsciously and wanted to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the locust tree.
"Yanqiu...you should go back quickly. It's not good to be seen by others..."
"Brother Zhenghua, no one will see us. If you're worried about Gao Qinghe seeing you, don't worry. She went to the market in town early this morning!"
The female voice at the back was particularly loud.
The man was startled and quickly motioned for her to lower her voice, his voice a little impatient.
"Please leave now. I will pretend I didn't hear what you said just now. I have things to do. I'm leaving..."
It seemed as if someone was grabbing it, and its feet were stepping on the branches on the ground, making a "crackling" sound.
The woman said excitedly, "I don't like that man from the Zheng family. My family forced me to marry him, and I only agreed because I had no other choice!"
"Brother Zhenghua, I've liked you since we were little. I didn't tell you before because Gao Qinghe liked you, but now you've broken up with her, I hope I can give myself a chance... She doesn't want you, but I don't mind. I want you!"
"If you like me even a little bit, tell me and I will cancel the engagement immediately!"
As she spoke, the woman's voice became tearful, she was crying with joy.
"I'm so grateful to Gao Qinghe. If she had broken up with you a few days later, I would have really gotten married and wouldn't have had the chance to fight for myself... Brother Zhenghua, as long as you give me a little hope, I'll run away! Take me away from here, we'll go to a big city together, I'll wash your clothes and cook for you, and I can also work to earn money to support the family..."
"Huang Yanqiu, stop talking. I've never liked you!"
Seeing that she was becoming more and more outrageous, Zhou Zhenghua shook her off and walked out from behind the locust tree with a dark face.
"Brother Zhenghua..."
Huang Yanqiu came out with tears on her face, and her voice suddenly stopped.
Zhou Zhenghua was also startled by the scene in front of the locust tree.
"Qing He...Teacher Ouyang, why are you here too?"
Ouyang Yan bit her lip angrily, raised her finger and pointed at Huang Yanqiu who came out from behind the locust tree and asked:
"Brother Zhou, who is she? How could there be such a shameless woman? She keeps pestering you even after you've rejected her. How shameless!"
The latter part of the words was directed at Huang Yanqiu. He wished he had a bayonet in his hand and could stab her to death immediately.
Huang Yanqiu was also stunned when she saw Gao Qinghe.
"Didn't you go to town?"
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face, revealing a wheat-colored face with prominent cheekbones.
As for Ouyang Yan's questioning and insults, it seemed as if she couldn't hear them.
Huang Yanqiu is tall, but thin.
Her facial features are deep in the style of southwestern ethnic minorities, but because her face is fleshless, her sunken eye sockets give her a sinister look at first glance.
According to Gao Qinghe's experience in her two lives combined, the last time she saw this face was forty years ago.
What surprised her was that she looked at this face that was so sharp that it chilled her heart.
She suddenly understood many things from her subtle expression that she had never understood in her previous life.
At least, in her previous life, she had no idea that Huang Yanqiu liked Zhou Zhenghua.
Moreover, those deep eye sockets were always filled with anger that could burn the whole world.
"It was too difficult to wait for the bus, so I walked back." Gao Qinghe explained.
Hearing this answer, Huang Yanqiu curled her thin lips and sneered.
Gao Qinghe knew that she was laughing at him, a pampered boy who finally walked an hour from the town to return to the village for the first time.
Of course, she didn't say it.
But it’s just... a wonderful tacit understanding.
Huang Yanqiu said in a very aggressive tone: "I didn't steal your man, I came here because you didn't want him anymore!"
"Well, if that's what you're looking for, then I hope you get what you want."
Gao Qinghe waved his hand and said, "I'm going home first. I'll come see you later."
Huang Yanqiu smiled: "Yeah!"
She looks really beautiful when she smiles, and her teeth are very white, like pearls.
