Chapter 27 I Won't Get Up to Send You Off



It's just washing dishes, there's nothing to argue about.

If he wants to wash, let him wash.

Jiang Qingyue readily gave it to him, then took out the newspaper that she had not finished reading during the day, and went back to the kang to continue reading.

After reading every corner of the two newspapers, Jiang Qingyue still didn't feel sleepy.

He took out his high school textbook and started reading it again.

After Zhou Zhengting finished washing the dishes, he also cleaned the ashes under the stove.

In the afternoon, he had just filled the water tank and chopped some firewood and piled it under the eaves.

Looking around, it seems that there is nothing left to do at home.

Then he turned and went into the house.

Seeing Jiang Qingyue reading a book under the dim kerosene lamp for most of the day, he wanted to remind her several times but kept his mouth shut.

After a long while, she finally packed up her books. After packing them up for a while, she lay down on the kang alone.

There was no intention of talking to me at all.

Zhou Zhengting then quietly returned to his own bed, took off his clothes and lay down.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but recall her attitude towards me today.

At first at Jiang's house, when she saw me coming back, she couldn't help but show surprise on her face.

When I learned that I was going to join the army, I was shocked for only a moment.

From then on, the woman became extremely calm, as if her own affairs had nothing to do with her anymore.

When he thought of this, Zhou Zhengting couldn't hide his disappointment.

However, all of this is my own choice, and there is no turning back once the arrow has been shot.

Zhou Zhengting didn't close his eyes that night.

But I was afraid of waking her up, so I lay there with my eyes open until morning.

Jiang Qingyue didn't sleep well last night. Plus, she had gotten used to sleeping in recently and had no plans to get up.

Hearing Zhou Zhengting getting up to wash, she silently huddled her head back into the quilt.

Just as he finished washing up, he heard the rustling sound of someone packing their luggage.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingyue thought he had left.

As soon as I emerged from the quilt, I saw him standing in the middle of the room with his luggage, staring at my bed, as if waiting for me to wake up.

Seeing that he had moved, he said, "Jiang Qingyue, I'm leaving."

Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to pretend that she had just woken up, "Well, okay, have a safe trip, I won't get up to see you off."

Zhou Zhengting smiled, "No, you can continue to sleep. I will write to you when I come back before the Spring Festival."

"Oh, okay."

After saying that, Jiang Qingyue lay back in the warm bed without any hesitation.

Zhou Zhengting smiled helplessly, then took out the cash and tickets from his pocket and placed them gently on the table.

I turned around and left this 'home' where I had lived for less than two months.

......

Zhou Zhengting wanted to leave quietly.

Unexpectedly, when the educated youth at the educated youth center learned that he was going to join the army, they all waited at the village entrance early in the morning to see him off.

On the one hand, after all, we have been together for so long, it is only natural for us to come and see each other off.

On the other hand, many male educated youth were surprised to hear that Zhou Zhengting had passed the selection, and they couldn't help but start to have ideas about him.

After all, for now, this may be the only way to leave this place.

After a few pleasantries, one of the educated youths said with emotion, "Zhengting, you are the one who thinks long-term. You have seized such a good opportunity. Don't forget us when you become successful in the future."

Someone else joked, "But what will happen to Comrade Jiang after you leave? Aren't you two newlyweds? If you separate now, won't she cry to death?"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengting, who had been calm and composed, showed a hint of worry in his eyes, but he suppressed it for a long time.

He casually exchanged a few words with everyone and prepared to leave.

But just as he turned around, Fang Ruyun ran out from somewhere and quickly chased after him.

"Brother Zhou, wait a minute, didn't you just come back yesterday? Why did you leave so soon? Haven't you divorced Jiang Qingyue yet?"

When Zhou Zhengting saw that the person coming was Fang Ruyun, he immediately put on a cold look as if to keep strangers away.

His eyes were also full of hostility.

"Fang Ruyun, I warn you once again, stay out of other people's business! And don't provoke her!"

"If I find out what you've done, or if you gossip about my family again, I'll make sure you don't get away with it!"

Fang Ruyun looked aggrieved, "Brother Zhou, I have already explained that I really only told my mother about your marriage. I really didn't expect her to tell your mother——"

"That's enough, Fang Ruyun, stop treating everyone like a fool."

"Instead of spending this time thinking about the mess at your home, if I report your father's affairs, do you think you will still have a home next time you go back?"

Fang Ruyun was so frightened when Zhou Zhengting mentioned her father that her face turned pale. "What do you mean?"

"That's what you think. I specially investigated and collected evidence before coming back, so don't mess with the people around me, otherwise -"

Having said that, Zhou Zhengting gave her a warning look and then strode away.

Fang Ruyun was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell down.

Fortunately, the educated youth who came behind helped him up, "Fang Zhiqing, what did you say to Zhou Zhiqing just now? Why is he so angry? It seems like he wants to eat you alive."

Fang Ruyun quickly waved her hands to deny, "No, no, he was not happy that I came to see him off."

"That's right. Zhou Zhiqing is married and has moved to another place. You should stop thinking about him."

Fang Ruyun clenched her fingers and bit her lips tightly.

How come things turned out like this?

She had planned to persuade him when she and Zhou Zhengting returned to Beijing together, but it was snowing heavily that day, and Zhou Zhengting saw Jiang Qingyue getting wet in the snow, so he ran away without hesitation and did not return to Beijing.

She was so angry that she exaggerated the matter of Jiang Qingyue's forced marriage to her mother after returning home.

My mother lived up to my expectations and went to the Jiang family again to tell the story of Zhou Zhengting with exaggeration.

But who would have thought that Zhou's mother had such a poor mental quality. When she learned that her son had been drugged and forced to marry in the countryside, she was so angry that she went straight to the hospital.

The Zhou family called Zhou Zhengting back directly.

At that time, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that this time Zhou Zhengting would definitely make a complete break with Jiang Qingyue for the sake of his mother's illness.

Who knew that he didn't divorce Jiang Qingyue, but joined the army? !

......

On the other side, Jiang Qingyue had no idea what was happening at the entrance of the village.

After Zhou Zhengting left, she got up, washed and made breakfast.

Although Zhou Zhengting is gone, she and the baby in her belly still have to continue living.

She had figured it out last night that being alone wasn't a big deal.

The earth will continue to rotate regardless of who is around.

The key is to be able to stand up on your own.
