At night, there is a cool breeze.
Half a month later, Zhou Lanhua felt much better. After dinner, she liked to ask her family to help her sit in the yard.
On early summer nights in the countryside, the wind quietly blows away the heat from the mud. Occasionally, one or two frogs appear in the grass, croaking a few times. But if you part the grass to look for them, they will most likely have already left.
Zhou Lanhua, the most amazing flying monkey in Tahe Town, was unusually quiet at the moment.
"Lanhua, are you cold? I'll get you some clothes to wear." Qiuhua asked.
Zhou Lanhua came back to her senses: "Sister, I'm not cold. Come and sit with me for a while."
Qiuhua sat with her in the yard. She was sometimes in a daze, and sometimes looked up at the sky. It was impossible to guess what she was thinking. Qiuhua just felt like a knife was cutting into her heart. She felt pain but pretended not to feel pain.
That arrogant Zhou Lanhua!
Faintly, Qiuhua seemed to hear footsteps outside, coming from far away and getting closer. Zhou Lanhua had always had good hearing and was as alert as a leopard.
If it were in the past, she would have jumped up from her chair and rushed out to check.
At this moment, she was so dull that she didn't hear anything.
The footsteps stopped in front of the yard gate. They must be heading home. Qiuhua got up and opened the door.
“Squeak—”
It turned out the door was not locked.
In the moonlight, Qiuhua could only see that there was a man at the door.
The man stood at the door and didn't come in. His tall body almost blocked the door. Qiuhua walked closer and looked carefully. He felt that he was very familiar.
"Why are you back?" Zhou Lanhua suddenly spoke, her tone a little excited, "Sister, help me in!"
Qiuhua didn't understand what was going on, but she still walked back to help her. Unexpectedly, the man behind her suddenly walked quickly into the yard and almost knocked Qiuhua to the ground as he passed by her.
"Boss!" he shouted.
"Sister! Help me in quickly!" Zhou Lanhua was very excited.
Before Qiuhua could get close, she heard a "bang" and the man knelt down in front of Zhou Lanhua like a mountain.
Jiang Xiang and Zhou Shengnan came out upon hearing the noise and recognized Thirteen.
"Kid, what are you doing?" Jiang Xiang went to help him.
Thirteen refused to get up, salty liquid flowing from his eyes, and shouted: "Aunt, I want to marry the eldest brother, please agree!"
Everyone was shocked by him and was speechless. After not seeing him for several years, he suddenly said this. Who wouldn't be confused?
Zhou Lanhua stood up trembling, with shock, shame and fear in her eyes.
Suddenly, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Bullshit! I don't need your pity. Get out! Go back to the army!"
Zhou Lanhua lost her balance and fell down. Everyone rushed to catch her. Thirteen suddenly jumped up and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Pa!" A loud slap hit Thirteen's face.
He just endured it without any reaction.
"I'm not going back. I've already completed the retirement procedures."
"You! You are useless! Get out of here! I don't know you! Let me go!" Zhou Lanhua shouted.
Thirteen held her tightly and refused to let go. Jiang Xiang advised him, "Child, let go first. Lanhua can't get excited. If you have something to say, speak slowly."
After hearing what Jiang Xiang said, Shisan carefully put Zhou Lanhua back on the chair.
"What? Has my affairs reached you?" Zhou Lanhua asked.
Thirteen sat on the ground next to her chair, holding on to it with one hand, fearing that Zhou Lanhua would disappear.
"Well, announce to the entire army, that person is a negative example, and you are a hero."
Zhou Lanhua smiled softly, a little proudly: "How about it? Are you convinced?"
He didn't say anything, his chest heaving, as if his emotions were brewing intensely.
"Alright, I'm fine. I, Zhou Lanhua, will still be your boss from now on. Do you accept that?"
Her tone was arrogant, but Qiuhua noticed that she didn't look at Shisan when she spoke, and even turned her face away intentionally, as if she didn't want him to see her face.
"You'll always be my boss, but I still want to marry you!"
"Shut up! Who wants your pity? When did I ever say I wanted to get married? Am I someone who can't live without a man?
What? You immediately retired from the army when you heard I was injured, and then I burst into tears of gratitude?"
Zhou Lanhua spoke stiffly, and Jiang Xiang felt a little uncomfortable listening to her.
"Lanhua, don't say that. You grew up together. Don't you understand what kind of person Thirteen is? He means well.
My child, although Lanhua was injured, she has received all the treatment she deserves. Her life will not be a problem in the future, and her aunt and uncle will always be with her. You don't have to worry. It's not worth sacrificing your whole life.
I know you grew up together and have a good relationship, but that's not the same as getting married."
Thirteen was silent for a moment. Compared to his naive appearance before joining the army, he was now mature, with clear and resolute eyes.
Over the years, he has grown taller and stronger, with dark skin that reflects a little in the moonlight.
"Aunt, I understand. I like the boss!"
Zhou Lanhua trembled slightly in shock and cursed, "Nonsense, you have a blockhead, what do you know about love?"
"I understand. How could I not understand? I've liked you for more than ten years, ever since I was a kid!"
Jiang Xiang, Zhou Shengnan and Qiuhua were all silent, and looked at Zhou Lanhua at the same time.
I'm afraid there are other people who really don't understand what love is.
"Fuck you! I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to... want to..." Zhou Lanhua actually blushed.
"Boss, I've followed you since I was a child. I swore in my heart long ago that I would be your follower for the rest of my life!"
Qiuhua looked at him in shock. Was he still the same stupid Thirteen who couldn't even fart for a long time?
For so many years, he has not been in the army, but in the song and dance troupe to practice his eloquence!
“…”
Zhou Lanhua's upper and lower lips were trembling.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Thirteen turned to Jiang Xiang: "Aunt, please help me. I'm not feeling sorry for the eldest sister, I like her. I love her and I want to take care of her for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Xiang looked at her daughter in surprise and joy. Zhou Lanhua didn't seem to buy it. Her expression was calm, but her hands were tightly gripping the armrests of the chair.
"Mom, I'm tired. I want to go back to my room."
"old……"
Shisan wanted to say something, but Jiang Xiang stopped him and signaled him to stop.
Looking at Zhou Lanhua's disappearing back, the man, who was almost as tall as the door frame, started crying again, as sad as a child, crying bitterly.
Qiuhua couldn't bear it and sent him out. Before leaving, Shisan leaned in to look inside.
"Sister, I really like the boss, you have to believe me!"
"Yes, I believe you." Qiuhua nodded. "Life is still long. If you are sincere, why would you be afraid of the test of fire?"
