Chapter 44: Farewell
"Brother Shen, what's wrong with you? What did you buy?"
Su Qianqian looked at Shen Xunbao and walked forward enthusiastically. Shen Xunbao sneered and pretended nothing happened. "Your birthday is coming soon. You can open this gift when you get home."
Su Qianqian said with a sweet face: "Thank you, Brother Shen, you are the best to me!" She kept muttering to herself, talking about all her dreams of getting married.
Shen Xunbao listened expressionlessly, occasionally giving a less than enthusiastic response.
Su Qianqian always felt that Shen Xunbao became strange after his trip to the black market.
She thought that their wedding couldn't be a big deal, so Brother Shen wasn't in a good mood, but she didn't think much about it.
Shen Xunbao and Qiao Wang agreed to get married with Su Qianqian in half a month. She was very happy to hear the news and felt that Shen Xunbao still loved her.
But when they rode their bicycles back to the village, Shen Xunbao became indifferent again. She wanted to hug Brother Shen, but was scolded, "We are not married yet, it is not good to be so intimate!"
"But we are engaged. We will be married in half a month."
Shen Xunbao righteously pried his hands away from his waist, "That won't work! We are not husband and wife yet."
"Brother Shen, what's wrong with you today? Although we are not husband and wife in name, we are husband and wife in reality." Su Qianqian said aggrievedly.
Shen Xunbao frowned and stiffened, spitting at Qiao Wang in his heart. "Don't call me Brother Shen in public anymore, and don't be too intimate. Pay attention to your image."
Su Qianqian curled her lips. Maybe today's letter really scared Brother Shen, "Okay then."
After returning to the Youth League Home, Su Qianqian packed up her things and wanted to move directly into the new house, but was stopped by Shen Xunbao on the grounds that they were not married yet.
Su Qianqian wailed, "Wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to do that these days?"
Shen Xunbao was very confused and asked, "Which one?"
Su Qianqian glared at Shen Xunbao, and shyly pulled Shen Xunbao's hand, "Be intimate, Brother Shen, don't you make me feel uncomfortable if you don't kiss me for a day?"
She stuffed Shen Xunbao's hand into her clothes. Shen Xunbao's face turned pale and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He looked around and saw no one around, then he immediately shouted at Su Qianqian, "Su Qianqian! Look at what you look like!!"
After saying that, he shook off Su Qianqian's hand and pushed her out of the boys' dormitory.
Shen Xunbao packed up his things and moved into the newly built house alone that night.
After the educated youth came back from work, Shen Xunbao went back to the Youth League Home. In order to restore his reputation, he said some nice words and took out egg cakes to share with everyone, which made Zhou Xiang and other boys a little at a loss.
As soon as Shen Xunbao returned to the yard and closed the door, he was hugged from behind by a woman.
"Brother Shen, don't you miss me?"
Shen Xunbao got goosebumps all over his body again. He pried Su Qianqian's hand apart coldly and threw it down fiercely, "I just warned you today, why are you here again?!"
Su Qianqian couldn't believe that Shen Xunbao would treat her like this. Tears welled up in her eyes, "Brother Shen, aren't you coming with me tonight?"
Shen Xunbao sighed and lowered his voice, "Qianqian, don't come to see me before you get married. It will have a bad influence."
Su Qianqian stared at him and refused to leave. Shen Xunbao had no choice but to move Shen Chongzhi out. He lowered his voice and said, "My father may have sent someone to monitor me. He knows everything. Qianqian, our hope of returning to the city is slim. If we make another mistake, we may spend our whole lives in the countryside. Are you willing to be a peasant for the rest of your life?"
Su Qianqian wiped her tears and shook her head, "It's all Su Qingyue's fault! It's all this bitch's fault that hurt us! Brother Shen, I'll listen to you, go to sleep."
Seeing Su Qianqian crying, Shen Xunbao sent her to the gate of the Youth League Home, and then went home and bolted the door.
The next morning, Pei Huaiye got up, covered the bicycle he had bought with an old bed sheet, leaned it against the bed, and locked the door before leaving.
When he walked to the station, he just saw Su Qingyue standing gracefully in the crowd. Pei Huaiye's cold eyes showed a hint of tenderness.
Su Qingyue seemed to be able to feel the gazes behind her. She turned her head slightly to reveal a pretty and charming profile, attracting many men behind her to look at her.
Pei Huaiye frowned and took a few steps to the front to block those bad views.
The car came and the two of them sat in front and behind in tacit understanding.
Pei Huaiye leaned against the window, and looked at Su Qingyue's profile countless times with his infatuated eyes, but he still couldn't get enough.
Pei Huaiye didn't turn around and leave until her beautiful figure disappeared in front of the gate of Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative after she got off the car.
"Brother Pei, you are finally here? I have an urgent mission and I have to be away for a few days." Yuan Guang handed the documents in his hand to Pei Huaiye.
"Then pack up and go to the village for free clinic, and help me keep an eye on Qingyue and her family."
Pei Huaiye had told Yuan Guang about Su Qingyue's cancellation of the engagement. In Yuan Guang's heart, he had already regarded Su Qingyue as the colonel's wife.
"No problem, nothing will go wrong with me here!" Yuan Guang patted his chest and said, "Boss, have you given the bicycle to my sister-in-law?"
Pei Huaiye smashed his brain, "You can give it to me after the marriage proposal, what's the point of giving it to me now? You bought the canned food, give it to me."
"No!" Yuan Guang blushed, "I'm giving this away as a gift!"
"Who are you sending for?" Pei Huaiye narrowed his eyes.
Yuan Guang didn't want to say it, but under Pei Huaiye's sharp gaze, he still said Dai Xiaohong's name.
Pei Huaiye smiled, "Then you should seize the opportunity of this free clinic."
Yuan Guang thought, I haven’t eaten pork but I have seen pigs run, so what’s the problem?
After they finished their work, Pei Huaiye went to the black market again, and this time he found a semiconductor radio. He spent 150 yuan on it even though he didn't have a ticket.
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to see Su Qingyue for several days because of the business trip, he went to buy a bunch of things.
Su Qingyue has a meeting today and won't be off work until six o'clock.
As soon as it was 5:40, Pei Huaiye went to the cafeteria to get food, put four hot aluminum lunch boxes into his bag, and went to the station to wait for Su Qingyue with his big and small bags.
After returning to Shuangshui Brigade, Pei Huaiye took Su Qingyue to a secluded riverside, which was blocked by large rocks and tall trees, so people could not find them even if they came.
"There are braised pork and chicken legs, eat quickly."
Su Qingyue smiled sweetly, "Let's eat together, why did you buy so many things?"
Pei Huaiye picked up some food for Su Qingyue. The wind blew her hair up. Pei Huaiye reached out and gently pinned them behind Su Qingyue's small ears. He poked her bulging cheek and said, "Qingyue, I have to go on a business trip for four or five days."
Su Qingyue's face fell, "Alone? Is it dangerous?"
Pei Huaiye found it funny and patted her head. "Eat well. There are other people to cooperate with you on the business trip. It's not dangerous."
Su Qingyue snorted softly and stuffed a chicken leg into Pei Huaiye's mouth, "You must come back safe and sound. If you dare to get hurt, I won't want you anymore."
Pei Huaiye raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yeah."
The food at their base is plentiful and delicious, and the chicken legs fall off the bone with just a slight bite.
Pei Huaiye's eyes were dangerous and deep. He stared at Su Qingyue motionlessly, unwilling to miss any subtle expression on her face.
Then, he finished eating the chicken leg with Su Qingyue's hand and did not forget to suck the soup off her tender white fingers.
The moist and hot touch emanated from between her fingers, and Su Qingyue's heartbeat quickened for no reason.
At dusk, when the sky was about to get dark, the afterglow of the setting sun transformed into an ambiguous warm yellow color and sprinkled on Su Qingyue's tender and fair face. The corners of her eyes were red, and her peach blossom eyes were as sparkling as the river surface under the setting sun. No, they were even more beautiful than that.
Pei Huaiye's naked eyes concealed undisguised affection.
He didn't want to wait any longer.
"Qingyue, I will propose marriage when I return from my business trip."
