Chapter 100 Chu Song is forced to study
Chu Song noticed his reaction. She held her chin with her left hand and tapped her face with her fingertips, while her right hand stretched out restlessly on the table, pointed at He Qian's arm, bent her thumb and index finger, and flicked it.
No response.
Push again with force.
He Qian finally turned his head, his face stern. "Are you childish? Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Chu Song curled her lips slightly, thinking that even though he said such nice things, he would still fall for it. She knew superficial men best.
"He Qian, Brother He Qian." She said innocently, "I just suddenly remembered something."
"What's up?"
"Do you remember our previous bet?"
How could He Qian forget? Back then, her arrogance had stirred his competitive spirit, and in a fit of rage, he had actually agreed to her ridiculous bet.
In the first week, Chu Song did not take any action. He Qian was eager to try and see what she would do, ready to counter her moves.
In the second week, Chu Song did not make any move. He Qian was puzzled. What big move was she going to make?
During the last week, Chu Song hadn't made any moves, and He Qian was getting a little angry: "Didn't you want to get him? Are you still going to get him or not?!"
Chu Song seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter and continued to do what he was supposed to do, unaffected at all.
He Qian was annoyed and angry, but he realized later that something was wrong. Look, just a few casual words from someone else had made him worried and concerned for so long.
How did he win? He had obviously lost completely and miserably!
He Qian was filled with grief and anger, but he stubbornly said, "What bet? I don't remember."
"Don't remember? It doesn't matter." Chu Song smiled, "I still remember. Let me repeat it to you. It's our bet..."
"No need! I suddenly remembered it again!"
"Oh~"
He Qian's face flushed. He always felt that Chu Song actually saw through everything. Even the word "oh" was full of deep meaning and extremely playful.
Chu Song sighed: "I lost. It's been several months, and you don't seem to have fallen in love with me."
He Qian gritted his teeth and said nothing. He was too embarrassed to say that he had won, let alone that he had actually lost.
Do you love me? Do you not love me?
He Qian felt that this word was too heavy. He changed the subject abruptly and deliberately asked, "When will you and Liang Jiayao decide?"
"Well." Chu Song really thought about it seriously. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
When He Qian heard this answer, he felt indescribably complicated.
Chu Song: "I lost. I said before that if I lose, you can make any conditions you want as long as Liang Jiayao and I can settle down sooner."
He Qian was angry: "You know it!"
"Know what?"
No matter how dumb He Qian was, he knew she did it on purpose. He turned his head away in frustration, "I'm not your toy. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me. The bet is void!"
If He Qian was more fashionable, or was born a few decades later, he would know the saying "Don't treat me as just a part of your play."
Chu Song: "No, why do you say it's invalid? I'm willing to accept the loss. I'm a man of my word."
He Qian really couldn't do anything with her.
No, there is a way. Since he is willing to accept defeat, why not just put forward the condition that Chu Song stay away from him and stop provoking him all the time?
He Qian just couldn't think of this.
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door, and the door creaked open, and someone came in.
It goes without saying who it is.
Chu Song quickly stood up, fluttered his wings like a butterfly, and went forward to greet her, his voice sweet, "Godmother."
Seeing that everyone was carrying things in both hands, she was very considerate and offered to help. He Qian, as her own son, fell behind and could only watch.
So it’s no wonder that Zhou Juhua is so caring. As long as Chu Song is willing, he will do his best to be her little cotton-padded jacket and truly “warm her up all day long”.
Zhou Juhua looked at the person in surprise, with a genuine smile on his face, "Songsong, oh, you're coming, why didn't you tell me in advance? Look, I don't have anything to treat you."
"I came here just to see my godmother. I don't care about anything else. Seeing my godmother is safe and sound is better than anything else!"
"You are becoming more and more adept at coaxing people with your mouth."
"No, I'm speaking the truth."
In short, Zhou Juhua was coaxed into staying with Chu Song for one night no matter what. It was only when Chu Song moved Ye Xiuzhi out that she gave up the idea. If you put yourself in her shoes, as a mother, she must be worried when she sees her daughter not coming back.
Chu Song stayed with Zhou Juhua, and it was a scene of loving mother and filial piety. It was not until it got dark that Zhou Juhua reluctantly let her go. He also asked her to remember to inform Ye Xiuzhi in advance next time she came, saying that she was going to stay at her godmother's house for one night and would not be coming back!
Chu Song smiled and agreed.
Zhou Juhua slapped his son on the back with his backhand, "What are you standing there for? Send him back home safely. It's late at night. Got it?"
Even though Zhou Juhua didn't mention it, He Qian was still worried and decided to send her back home. He pretended to be jealous and said helplessly, "Then why don't you worry about my safety?"
Zhou Juhua glared at him: "What do you have to worry about? You have thick skin and flesh."
He Qian: “…”
Chu Song sighed faintly: "Let's not do it. I won't bother Brother He Qian anymore."
Having said that, Chu Song's expression was not like that. It was rather sarcastic, but when she did it, it didn't make people dislike it. Instead, it looked cute.
Zhou Juhua couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong, did he provoke you?"
"Ah." Chu Song sighed again, imitating He Qian's tone just now, "No, it's just that men and women shouldn't touch each other."
He Qian: “…”
Zhou Juhua's eyes wandered between the two men. Although he didn't know what happened between them, he was happy to see He Qian suffer a setback.
"It's okay, we don't need to treat him as a human being!"
He Qian smiled. He knew that Zhou Juhua was biased and tacitly acknowledged that he was not a human being.
In the end, of course, it was He Qian who sent the man home. The first half of the road was flat, and Chu Song sat comfortably on the back seat. The second half of the road was bumpy, and Chu Song steered the bicycle himself and pedaled hard, not caring about He Qian's life or death at all.
It’s time to buy a cushion, He Qian thought.
——
Grain in Ear, the ninth solar term among the 24 solar terms, actually means "busy planting" in the countryside, marking the arrival of a new round of busy farming season. People in the south are busy planting rice, while people in the north are busy harvesting wheat.
Luhua Brigade's location, neither too far north nor too far south, provided a suitable climate, so everyone was busy and planted everything. However, with the canal now complete, drought was no longer a concern, and everyone worked even harder.
This "big family" does not include Chu Song, who is usually full of energy, but as weak as Lin Daiyu when he comes down from the earth.
Ye Xiuzhi was too lazy to criticize her and simply let her take care of the baby. Not only did she pity her "weak body", but also because asking her to go to the fields to plant rice seedlings would simply ruin the seedlings. It would be better for her to stay at home to take care of little Jinyu and cultivate the relationship between aunt and nephew.
Chu Song was happy to see this happen.
In mid-June, the wheat harvest was completed, and weeding, land preparation, irrigation and fertilization, insect catching and rice planting were all proceeding at a leisurely pace.
If there is any difference, it is that Chu Song got a piece of inside information: the college entrance examination will be resumed by the end of the year at the latest.
The notice of resuming the college entrance examination had not been officially issued, but there were some well-informed and quick-witted people who had vaguely guessed something. Lu Minglin then received an urgent letter from his parents, which vaguely revealed the future situation and told him to seize the opportunity.
After reading the letter, Lu Minglin burned it without saying a word.
If it were in the past, he would definitely be delighted. For educated youth, the college entrance examination was not only a way to study, but also an opportunity to return to the city and hometown.
And now, he subconsciously thought of Chu Song. Will she take the college entrance examination?
Lu Minglin realized that this was a good opportunity. If he could get into the same city as Chu Song, or even the same university...
So, the day after Lu Minglin received the letter, he went to find Xiang Baoshu. They were both educated youth, and because of Chu Song in between, they had more or less contact, so their relationship was pretty good, at least on the surface.
Lu Minglin even shamelessly asked Xiang Baoshu for the recipes of several private dishes.
Lu Minglin did not hide anything. He found Xiang Baoshu and directly revealed that the higher-ups were planning to resume the college entrance examination.
"Resumption of the college entrance examination..." Xiang Baoshu was stunned. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she was still a little dazed when it finally came.
"What's your purpose in telling me this?" Xiang Baoshu came back to her senses and believed what Lu Minglin said. However, she didn't believe he would be so kind as to tell her this news, unless...
Lu Minglin: "I want you to help someone."
Sure enough, Xiang Baoshu could guess who it was with her toes. She snorted and laughed: "Even if you weren't there, I would do the same."
"Very good, it seems that our goals are the same."
"I know what to do."
With Chu Song's intelligence, as long as she wanted to, getting into university was a sure thing. If Ye Xiuzhi knew, she would definitely support it with both hands and feet. Not to mention stopping her, she would have closely watched Chu Song study hard.
Therefore, Xiang Baoshu's first ally was Ye Xiuzhi, and she secretly told the news to others.
"Really?!" Ye Xiuzhi was surprised. "Then can our Xianxian take the exam? Can she pass?"
Xiang Baoshu smiled and said, "Aunt Ye, don't worry, I will tutor her. As long as Xianxian studies hard, she will definitely pass the exam."
"Xianxian is so smart and can learn anything quickly. There will definitely be no problem!"
Xiang Baoshu was speaking the truth.
Ye Xiuzhi felt quite proud of having a daughter.
Xiang Baoshu deliberately said: "It's just..."
Ye Xiuzhi became nervous again, "Just what?"
Xiang Baoshu: "It's just the college entrance examination after all, and the competition is fierce. I'm worried that Xianxian can't bear the hardship of studying, and if she gives up halfway..."
Ye Xiuzhi said with a fierce face: "Don't worry, I have eyes on her back, I will keep a close eye on her, you just need to discipline her!"
