However, the next day, he waited at home for a whole day, but Bai Yalan did not show up.
It was Aunt Wang from next door who came to visit and asked his mother, "Hey, Sister-in-law Qin, did you kill and eat those two live fish I asked your relatives to bring yesterday? I just caught them and brought them to you. They are so fresh."
Qin Li opened his mouth wide and looked at her in surprise, "What? Did you give me that fish?"
"Of course not!" Aunt Wang was anxious when she saw her expression. "Why? Didn't your relatives tell you that this girl is really unreliable? I clearly saw her coming to your house and asked her to give her a ride."
But Qin Li got angry when he heard this and said angrily, "I said Wang Mazi's family, you are so unruly. What kind of fish did you send?"
The whole family thought that Bai Yalan had come to curry favor with them again with things in hand, but ended up losing face.
Aunt Wang got anxious when she saw her being so rude. "Hey, Qin Baldy, how can you not know what's good for you? You lent me flour before, and I gave you two live fish in return. Isn't that enough to make up for it? Why are you picking on me?"
Qin Qi was angry and started to argue unreasonably. "You think you can exchange two rotten fish for flour? You are Wang Mazi's family, you are dreaming."
Aunt Wang stood at the gate with her hands on her hips and cursed, "Hey, you bastard Qin Baldy, are you crazy or something?"
…
Inside the house, listening to the quarrel outside, Qin Kaishen's face became completely gloomy.
He felt a little nervous for the first time, but after thinking about it, he still felt that the other party was probably angry. No wonder he was so patient this time and didn't come to find him.
So he didn't want to think about it anymore. Since he came back, his father had been showing off in the village every day.
At first he felt proud, but after hearing it so many times he got tired of it.
Especially when I heard my relatives quarreling with neighbors over trivial matters, I was really annoyed, so I made an excuse to go to the county town in the evening.
It was said that Lu Qing'er was frightened after falling into the water. She stayed in the hospital for two days and was then sent home to recuperate.
Her home was in a residential area in the county town. When I entered the residential area to look for her, even though I was in casual clothes, my upright posture, which I had trained in the army, and my every move attracted the attention of the girls passing by in the community.
Some of them looked at him, some admired him, and some looked at him with blushing faces and whispered to their companions.
Qin Kaishen was holding a box of pastries in his left hand and walking briskly.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when he thought of Bai Yalan, he regained his confidence.
The way she dressed when she came to visit him yesterday couldn't help but come to his mind. To be honest, he was indeed a little moved.
As he was thinking, he walked to Lu Qing'er's house. A man just came out of Lu Qing'er's house and met him head-on.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Qin Kaishen immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Deputy Battalion Commander!"
Gu Fujun also returned the salute and asked in surprise, "Captain Qin, aren't you on leave due to your injury? Why are you here instead of recuperating at home?"
Qin Kai felt deeply aggrieved, but he quickly replied, "Deputy Battalion Commander, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious. I'm here... to visit Comrade Lu Qing'er." Perhaps fearing Gu Fujun might misunderstand, he subconsciously explained, "We were classmates in elementary and junior high school. She came to the army to see me because she had a talent and accidentally fell into the water."
Therefore, it is reasonable for him to come and visit.
Qin Kai thought deeply and felt that his answer was well-reasoned and without any loopholes.
Gu Fujun was twenty-something, three years older than Qin Kaishen, and they were in the same camp. Although he didn't have much interaction with Qin Kaishen at the time, apart from the relationship between superiors and subordinates, they were brothers from the army, and he was not the kind of person who would be petty and think too much.
So the man believed him without giving it much thought and patted him on the shoulder. "No need to be so polite outside. There's no hierarchy here. Since you're Qing'er's classmate, you two can chat more. I have work to do, so I'll be leaving first."
The words were full of intimacy towards Lu Qing'er, which was self-evident.
Qin Kai pursed his lips deeply, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched involuntarily. The hand holding the box of pastries felt even heavier than a thousand pounds.
"Yes, deputy battalion commander!"
"Look at you, you're doing this again." Gu Fujun smiled, hit him lightly on the shoulder, and left.
Qin Kaishen stood there stiffly. After a long time, he relaxed his body and suppressed the complex and unspeakable emotions that were rising and falling in his heart.
It took him a long time to adjust his mood, and he went forward and knocked on the door.
