Chen Xiaohong knew that she was moved.
On the way back to Dong, the two walked very slowly.
Chen Xiaohong followed not far behind Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang knew that she was deliberately distancing herself from him.
But it doesn't matter.
He can wait.
Anyway, he is happy when others gossip about him.
Anyway, the ultimate goal is to marry her. When the villagers know about it, they will help him spread the word to see if there is anyone who is so blind as to propose marriage to Chen Jia in the future.
Zhang Qiang turned around and said, "If you were any slower, the snow on the road would have melted under your feet."
Chen Xiaohong's face turned red, and she choked on the small sweet potato.
Zhang Qiang saw her lowering her head and walking back with the basket on her back.
He said with a serious expression: "Chen Xiaohong, keep your head up and your chest out.
You haven’t done anything wrong.”
These words made Chen Xiaohong's head buzz.
Yes, she didn't do anything wrong, why should she be so scared?
What exactly is she afraid of?
Zhang Qiang stood beside her and said, "Let's go together."
The feeling of the two walking together made Chen Xiaohong feel a little strange.
I never had this feeling when I was with Yang Wei before.
Before, her life in the Yang family was numb.
Every day when she opened her eyes and worked like a mule or a horse, she had only one thought in her mind: whether she could avoid being beaten that day.
She lives in fear every day, so how can she have time to think about anything else?
Chen Xiaohong glanced secretly at Zhang Qiang, and the two walked forward side by side.
Not far away, some villagers were walking towards us. They were Dazhuangma Zhao Hong and another woman from the village.
I don't know what these two people are doing, but they seem to be walking together.
Seeing the two people, Chen Xiaohong paused, her calves becoming uncontrollable and she didn't want to move forward.
She had just lowered her head when she heard Zhang Qiang's soft reminder in her ears.
"Keep your head up, what are you afraid of?"
The sound was like an alarm, and Chen Xiaohong had to look up again.
Zhao Hong's eyes lit up when she saw the two of them together.
Zhao Hong said with a smile: "Hey, Qiangzi and Xiaohong, are you two having a fight?"
Zhang Qiang said generously, "Yes, auntie, Xiaohong is here, I will help her carry her back home."
When Zhao Hong saw that the two of them were going to have a chance, she smiled and said, "That's great. The weather is too cold. Let's go back to Dong as soon as possible. You are such a thoughtful child."
Chen Xiaohong's cheeks were burning hot.
Another woman nearby stared at the two men, greeted them, and they walked away.
After the two men walked away, the woman beside them nudged Zhao Hong with her elbow, shrinking her neck, looking mysterious and excited.
"Da Zhuang's mother, I want to ask you something."
Zhao Hong knew without much thought that she was definitely going to ask about Qiangzi and Xiaohong.
"What is it?"
"Your Dazhuang and Qiangzi have a good relationship. I see that Qiangzi and Xiaohong are like this. It seems that the two of them are against each other. Are they against each other?"
Zhao Hong really didn't dare to say this, she said: "How would I know this? Our Dazhuang has never mentioned it to me."
The woman pursed her lips, put her hands in her sleeves, and said sarcastically: "I think these two are secretly having an affair.
Look at Qiangzi, he is even willing to help others collect wheat straw.
I saw it clearly just now, Xiaohong's face was as red as a monkey's butt.
Tsk tsk, this Qiangzi is really blind, how can such a good young man fall in love with a chicken that doesn't lay eggs."
The woman had no tact at all, and the more Zhao Hong listened, the more wrong her expression became.
Zhao Hong paused and stared at the woman as if she was looking at a joke.
The woman paused after realizing what was happening: "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Zhao Hong looked at her with disdain and said unceremoniously, "Auntie, stop it.
Don’t say this to me again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and start a fight with you.
Why do you care about other people’s two kids?
If you have this ability, you might as well go home and take care of your good son who has all his limbs intact but is bedridden despite being healthy.
I think the two children are a perfect match.
Besides, what era is this now? How can you still look at people like this?
It's not that I speak harshly, it's that what you said today really deserves a beating.
You've said such harsh things about two kids just walking together. If there really is something wrong, wouldn't it cost them their lives?
Xiaohong is divorced, and it’s not a case of murder or arson.
I'm not trying to discourage you, but if your son wants to marry her, she may not be willing to marry your son."
This is Zhao Hong's personality. If she offends someone, she will offend him in front of them and will never talk about them behind their back.
Over the years, everyone in the village has known her character.
The woman realized that she had been humiliated by Zhao Hong, and her face suddenly turned as black as coal.
"How can you talk like that?
That's too harsh to hear."
"You think it sounds bad, but what about their two children?
Really, you are already in your forties, I think you are dead.
This is a new society, and it's time to move forward with your backward thinking.
I have something else to do, so I'll leave now. You can think about it slowly by yourself."
Zhao Hong left first, leaving the woman feeling unhappy.
The woman was still thinking, she just said one word, why was she angry?
Zhang Qiang and Chen Xiaohong are not her children.
The woman was unhappy, and when she realized that Zhao Hong had scolded her severely, she became even angrier.
It’s a pity that Zhao Hong had already walked away, otherwise she would have to go up and have a good talk with her.
I really suffered a loss today.
Zhang Qiang sent Chen Xiaohong to the door, then he went in through the back door and put the backpack in the utility room.
As soon as she came out, Chen Xiaohong said, "Thank you for today."
Zhang Qiang dusted himself off and said, "Don't be polite to me. I have a meeting next Monday, so come with me into the city.
I will buy you some books sometime, which will benefit you greatly and you can read them for the rest of your life."
Chen Xiaohong said: "I won't do it anymore."
Zhang Qiang said, "You haven't been to the city for a year, right? I'm not the only one who's been there, the couple in Dazhuang are also there."
Chen Xiaohong thought about it and decided that the New Year was almost coming, so why not go with him to buy some things for the family and also some fine grains.
After a long while, she nodded and said, "Okay then."
Zhang Qiang smiled and looked at Chen Xiaohong's face. He found that she no longer had the childish look she had before, and her peach blossom eyes were full of charm.
Especially when she smiled, he was really attracted by her beauty and wanted to hug her tightly and kiss her hard.
Zhang Qiang knew that his mentality was wrong.
But he encountered both unrequited love and unrequited love.
He didn't have much education, but he had read enough books to know what disease he had.
He liked her and loved her. Every night when he thought of her, he would roll up the quilt beside him and hug her tightly, imagining that he was hugging her.
Zhang Qiang also knows that when you fall in love with someone, you really want to give your heart to her.
Give her all the good things.
These were all Zhang Qiang was thinking about; he himself did not realize how much love was in his eyes at this moment.
