After dinner, it was already dark.
Chen Nongmo returned to his room to pack his luggage.
After three years, she finally gets to meet her parents. Even though the train ticket time can only be confirmed tomorrow, she is still a little impatient.
People are such strange beings. It was obvious that she didn't spend much time with her parents.
But in the past three years, she has been loved by everyone, and even the coldest heart has been melted.
"Sixth Brother, are you done packing?" The bedroom door was not closed, and Chen Jun walked straight in with a package on his shoulder.
Chen Nongmo stared at the huge bag and was silent for a while before asking, "Why do you have so many things?"
When it came, there was clearly only a small package.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jun stopped working. He dragged a stool over and sat down. He quickly untied the drawstrings and took things out one by one: "These are the shoes you bought, these are the tweed fabric you bought for dad, these are the bag you bought for mom, these are the small leather shoes you bought for mom, and these..."
"Alright, alright, stop it!" Chen Nongmo, who realized belatedly that he had wronged someone, quickly made a pause gesture.
The young man looked aggrieved and said, "You remembered? You only remembered to buy it, but I helped you. Ahem, Brother Shao Zheng and I helped you carry it? You forgot about it when you got home, right? You're already 18 years old, but you're still so careless. What would you do without me?"
Look how angry these words made Chen Nongmo almost roll his eyes.
But she was in the wrong after all, so she listened to his mumbling honestly and even said a few sweet words to coax him: "I was so careless because I knew that Fourth Brother was here, and I knew you would protect me."
Chen Jun was easy to coax. He chuckled twice and started to put back the things he had picked up.
Seeing this, Chen Nongmo stopped him: "Don't pretend to go back."
"What's wrong?"
"We only take the necessary items and send the rest separately."
Chen Jun's eyes wandered: "No, it's fine to carry it on your back."
Chen Nongmo narrowed his eyes.
The guilty boy looked away and tried to find an excuse: "Besides, we might leave tomorrow morning, so how can we have time to send it?"
Chen Nongmo crossed his arms and said, "Brother Shao Zheng is here, you don't have to worry about this. Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Chen Jun: "Where is it?"
Seeing that he was stiff-necked and refused to admit it, Chen Nongmo simply took things out of the package.
"Hey hey hey" the breathless boy tried to stop her, but his sister slapped his hand away.
Seeing that he was taking out more and more things that belonged to him, Chen Jun became completely depressed.
Chen Nongmo, on the other hand, was so angry that he laughed. He questioned the boy, "Didn't you say that I bought all these things? I saw that you bought a lot too. How dare you put all the blame on me?"
Chen Jun clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "I'm just afraid that my parents will beat me. If I hadn't just cleaned up, my brother wouldn't have noticed that I bought so many things. If my parents knew that I was so extravagant, they would definitely skin me alive."
Chen Nongmo was speechless: "You are such a good brother, you can get away with it by blaming me?"
"Of course, your parents won't bear to beat you." These words were truly expressed with envy and sincerity.
Chen Nongmo, who was choked by the young man, pinched his brows and said, "Who told you to buy so much? What about my things? I remember I bought more than just these, right?"
"On my side." Shao Zheng, who had been standing at the door and watching the brother and sister bickering for a while, spoke at the right time.
The brother and sister turned around at the same time and saw a huge package at the man's feet. It was much bigger than Chen Jun's.
Chen Nongmo suddenly felt a little afraid to look at his fourth brother's face. He had just been scolding others for buying more.
Just... embarrassing.
Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Shao Zheng tactfully came to her rescue: "Most of these were bought by me."
As soon as these words came out, before Chen Nongmo could react, Chen Jun immediately jumped up, and he enthusiastically dragged the big package into the house: "Brother, what did you buy? Is there anything for me?"
Shao Zheng Seeing the frozen smile on the man's face, the young Chen Jun was incredulous and pointed at the big package: "Is there nothing for me?"
Shao Zheng glanced at Yu Yu subconsciously.
Although his name was not mentioned, Chen Nongmo's face started to get hot, as he felt that Fourth Brother would be able to guess something this time.
Would he be angry? The boy was indeed angry: "Brother, you are too biased. No wonder my elder brother always says that you want to steal my sister. I want to be a girl, so you should treat me as your sister too."
Chen Nongmo. Shao Zheng, who couldn't stand the word "sister", closed his eyes and promised helplessly: "I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
Chen Jun: "I don't want it. I'm not sincere at all." Chen Nongmo, who was a little angry, said to him: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and start packing and sorting."
Chen Jun muttered: "You little bitch, you only know how to bully me."
Shao Zheng patted the boy on the shoulder: "It's mine, isn't it? Don't you like my shell models? Go pick the best one."
"Really? Why are you so nice, brother?"
Chen Nongmo glanced at the man and knew that he wanted to stay with him for a while longer, so he didn't stop him from tricking Fourth Brother away.
But in order to appear reserved, she pretended that she hadn't noticed anything and just kept cleaning up.
Chen Jun, who didn't think much about it, couldn't wait when he heard that he could pick a shell model.
But he still couldn't believe it: "Really? Either one will do?"
Shao Zheng affirmed: "Any one is fine, take it if you like."
Chen Jun felt a little embarrassed by the generosity of others. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Didn't you say before that each one of them is your favorite? If you really want to give it to me, please give it to me!"
"Really? It doesn't matter if you take them all." The model can be reassembled. What could be more important than pursuing your future wife?
So, Chen Jun was very excited when he was sure that he could really choose a bullet shell mold.
He even felt that as the owner of the shell mold, he was already the most respectable person in Shanshun Village.
When my friends find out about this, they will surely be envious to death.
Watching his fourth brother's happy departure, Chen Nongmo was worried: "Fourth brother has such a childish temper, he will suffer in the future."
Shao Zheng disagreed: "As long as he can distinguish right from wrong, there is nothing wrong with being young. He is only 18 years old. Besides, it's okay for a boy to suffer a little. Just take it as experience."
As he spoke, he had already bent over to take things out of the package, and in a blink of an eye, the table was full.
Chen Nongmo helped to sort them: "When did you buy them? Why didn't I notice them?"
“It was the day I borrowed the car.”
Chen Nongmo thought about it and then realized that the man had indeed been out for half a day that day.
"This... I see you like it very much." After laying out all the things, Shao Zheng took out a separate bag and handed it to the little girl.
Chen Nongmo reached out and took it: "What is it?"
Although she asked this, her hands were moving quickly. When she opened the cloth bag and saw that it was a pair of familiar Martin boots, she was completely stunned.
A complicated expression appeared on the face of the usually happy little girl again. Shao Zheng was suddenly a little unsure. He squatted beside her, looked sideways, and asked worriedly, "Don't you like it?"
Chen Nongmo blinked. She couldn't tell him about the past, so she just curved her eyes and said, "No, I just feel that I don't look as good as Sister Shao Qiong in these shoes."
Noticing that she wasn't in a bad mood, but just didn't want to talk about it, Shao Zheng didn't ask her any more questions. He just said, "It won't be bad-looking. Besides, it's just for fun. What's most important is that you like it."
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Nongmo held the shoes and said, "Thank you, brother. I like them very much, but you bought too many."
There are really a lot of things. Among this pile of things, there are four or five pairs of shoes alone.
Adding the ones she already owned, Chen Nongmo was sure that in this era of material scarcity, she had enough pairs of shoes to wear a different one for half a month.
Much richer than my previous life.
"Not much." Shao Zheng wanted to say that he earned money to spend on her, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was inappropriate.
Yu Yu is leaving, and I don’t know when we will meet next time.
Even though he told himself to let things take their course, he still found himself anxious when they were about to part.
During the past few days of getting along, Shao Zheng felt several times that Yu Yu should like him as well.
But after calming down, he started to worry again, maybe he was over-analyzing some of her behaviors because he liked Yu Yu.
If the little girl only thinks of herself as a brother, those dependent actions or words seem normal.
And if you think carefully, apart from the time they linked arms in front of Aunt Wenjuan when they were walking home in the evening, the two of them seemed to have no actual intimate actions.
So, I was overthinking it? Would his confession scare the girl? Would he lose his brother status in the end because of his thoughts? "Brother?"
Shao Zheng came back to his senses and realized that, at some point, Yu Yu had moved to within half a meter of him and was staring at him intently.
He always knew she was beautiful, especially when she smiled.
But at this moment, looking at Furong's face so close to him, Shao Zheng's breathing was still choked by the shock.
"What's wrong?" After he finished speaking, he realized that he almost spoke in a whisper, as if he was afraid of startling people.
The man's voice was different from his usual gentle tone. It gave people a tingling sensation. Chen Nongmo stepped back without leaving a trace. "I called you just now, but you didn't answer me."
"Oh, I was distracted. What's wrong?"
"Hey, I've written down the addresses that need to be mailed. If my fourth brother and I are leaving tomorrow, could you please help me mail it? We'll pay for it together."
Chen Nongmo put the paper into the man's hand and said, "Let's be honest. You give me a gift, or I give you a gift. We don't talk about money, but we have to account for other things. Even siblings have to settle accounts."
Shao Zheng didn't understand her persistence. In his opinion, even if the girl didn't like him and only treated him as a brother, he was willing to spend money on her.
But he couldn't say this. His thoughts had already become impure since he was moved by that smile.
There is no way to treat her as a sister anymore, so how can I have the nerve to ask her to treat me as a brother.
So, should I express my feelings before Yu Yu leaves? But...is it too soon?
But if he didn't confess his feelings, if he didn't occupy a place in her heart in advance, would such an excellent Yu Yu be taken away by someone else in a place where he couldn't see? No, he couldn't even think about it. Just thinking about it made him angry.
After walking around and turning into a dead end again, the man shook his head and was so angry that he folded his clothes more vigorously.
Chen Nongmo, who was standing by, was stunned.
"Second brother, come and help me with my things." Just as the two of them were packing their things in silence and no one knew how to start the conversation, Gao Qing appeared at the bedroom door.
Chen Nongmo called out, "Auntie."
"Hey! Wait a moment, Auntie will be busy with you."
"No, no, I have my brother to help me, it will be done soon."
Gao Qing laughed and said, "Not fast, not fast."
Before Chen Nongmo could figure out what it meant, about half a minute later, he saw the tall man who had just left, with a sullen face, walking in with a large package.
Following behind him was Gao Qing, holding a pile of empty cloth bags.
".This is?"
Gao Qing: "I saved this for you."
Chen Nongmo opened his eyes wide: "For me?" This is too much.
Gao Qing had a bad back and couldn't squat. After she took the stool her son handed over and sat down, she smiled and said, "Not all of them are for you. There are also some for your parents on both sides, your brother and your sister-in-law."
"That's too much." Chen Nongmo was willing to accept all the gifts given by Brother Shao Zheng, knowing each other's intentions.
Moreover, in the past two years, she has also given many gifts to others. This is called give and take.
But Aunt Qing was different. She lived in someone else's house, ate someone else's food, and finally packed up so many things to take away. What kind of thing was that? Chen Nongmo had his own principles and really didn't want it.
Gao Qing was a person who could tell the little girl's dilemma at a glance. She smiled and said, "I've already bought it. You can't ask me to return it, right? That would be so embarrassing for me as the commander's wife."
This successfully made Chen Nongmo laugh.
Gao Qing held the little girl's hand and said lovingly, "Auntie likes you. Besides, these things are not a big deal for me. Don't feel embarrassed. If you really feel bad, make two sets of clothes for Auntie. I don't have the skills, so I can only count on you."
Chen Nongmo didn't believe this. With Aunt Qing's status, she could find any kind of experienced tailor she wanted. Her skills were nothing in front of the old masters.
But I have to say that my aunt really understands the power of language and can calm people down in just a few words.
"But."
"No buts. Let's just forget about this matter. Let me tell you a joke." Gao Qing glanced at her son who was busy sorting out his clothes. She couldn't help but say something good for him.
Of course, that’s just one sentence, nothing more. When it comes to relationships, it still depends on the two people being happy about it.
As a mother, it is enough for her to say a few words to show her motherly love.
Chen Nongmo was a man of insight. Seeing that although Aunt Qing looked like she was whispering, her voice was not much lowered, he understood what she was going to say.
Sure enough, she didn't need to reply, and she heard her aunt say, "The second child got angry when he was helping me get something just now."
"Mom!" Shao Zheng, who had always been good-tempered, became anxious and raised his voice. He didn't expect his mother to bring up this matter.
Gao Qing covered her chest and said, "Oh mom, you scared me. I'm going to say it even though you told me not to."
He didn't care about his son's dark and embarrassed face, and said to himself: "He was angry that the things I prepared for you were more than what he secretly saved, and I stole his limelight."
"Mom, didn't you just say your waist hurts? Please go back to the house first."
"I still have to help Yuyu sort it out."
"I can do it without you."
"Then I want to share another secret with Yu Yu."
These words were obviously meant to be a tease, and Chen Nongmo could tell it.
But Shao Zheng, overwhelmed by shame, didn't hear anything. He was worried that his mother would reveal the embarrassing incident of him secretly ironing clothes yesterday, so he half-embraced and half-pushed her away.
"puff"
= There are so many things.
Fortunately, Chen Jun, who had picked out the good model, came back to help.
By the time we had almost finished cleaning up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
It was Chen Nongmo’s usual sleeping time.
Seeing the little girl yawn twice in a row, Shao Zheng consciously quickened his movements.
A few minutes later, all the things were carried outside.
He stood at the door and stretched out his hand to pull the door, but before closing it, he lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was walking over and said softly, "No need to see me off, get ready to wash up and go to bed."
Chen Nongmo was indeed sleepy, so he stopped and nodded: "Okay."
Shao Zheng closed the door gently, then looked at the boy beside him: "Wait until Yu Yu finishes her bath, you line up behind her."
"Okay, I'll go back to the house first."
"Well, go ahead."
After the others left, Shao Zheng lowered his eyes, stood quietly for a while, then turned around and went back to his bedroom.
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.
Yu Yu's heart is now filled with joy of reuniting with his parents after a long separation.
If I really misunderstood something, and I rashly revealed my feelings to her, I'm afraid it would affect her good mood.
He couldn't bear to do that.
= Since he had slept longer than usual and didn’t sweat much today, Chen Nongmo was lazy and didn’t wash his hair.
It only took a dozen minutes for the person to come out of the bathroom.
Hearing the noise, Chen Jun grabbed his sweatshirt and shorts and ran to the bathroom, while Shao Zheng went downstairs to the kitchen.
Then about two minutes later, someone knocked on Chen Nongmo's door.
She opened the door and, not surprisingly, saw Brother Shao Zheng holding milk.
The girl's hair, which had been braided for a day, was now let down. Her hair was thick, black, and dense, with curvy shapes, making the already beautiful girl even more charming.
Shao Zheng's eyes darkened, not daring to look any further, and directly handed over the teacup in his hand: "Drink the milk before going to sleep."
Chen Nongmo took it, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked up at the person.
The light in the corridor was warm yellow, and the man was facing away from the light, but Chen Nongmo still clearly caught the loneliness in his eyes. Shao Zheng lowered his head slightly so that she could see more clearly, and his voice was as gentle as usual: "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"Brother, are you in a bad mood?" This was indeed a question asked knowingly.
Of course she knew why the man was in a bad mood. She had thought he would confess his feelings today.
I didn't expect that after hesitating for a whole night, I don't know what was going on in my mind, but I ended up getting depressed.
Chen Nongmo was really angry and amused at the same time.
She also knew what he was worried about, so she planned to make it clear to him when she accompanied Qiuhua's mother to take care of her sister-in-law.
Who told him to be so procrastinating?
But at this moment, seeing the lack of confidence in Shao Zheng's eyes, Chen Nongmo finally softened his heart.
Although she was embarrassed, she turned around, put the teacup on the table, and waved to the man: "Brother, you are too tall, lower your head a little, I have something to tell you."
Shao Zheng didn't think much about it, but he didn't go into the house politely. He just stood at the door and bent over to cooperate. He showed his handsome face and said with a hint of smile: "What do you want to tell me?"
Chen Nongmo stood on tiptoe, leaned close to the man's ear, and whispered, "Brother, I want to see you wearing a white shirt and glasses tomorrow."
The warm breath blew against my ears, carrying the unique fragrance of a little girl.
Shao Zheng finally calmed himself down. After digesting the meaning of Yu Yu's words, he slowly opened his eyes, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
Just as I was about to turn my head to ask, I felt a soft touch on my left cheek again.
Very fragrant and soft.
Yu Yu kissed him? ! ! (End of this chapter)
