The five children felt heartbroken when they saw their mother getting on the bus without looking back.
I was stunned.
Zhou's mother originally wanted to coax the children, worried that the children would not be able to bear crying after their daughter-in-law left. But when she saw their dazed looks, she thought she was overthinking.
I coaxed them into the house and prepared to take them to the park to play later. When they heard that we were going out to play later, I instantly forgot all the sadness.
Maybe Su Qingxue was abandoned by them. The little child only wanted to play and nothing else.
Su Qingxue took a train for three days and two nights and finally returned to the county town. Since she did not tell him when she would return in advance, no one came to pick her up.
Su Qingxue didn't need anyone else to pick her up. She quietly came to the corner of the house, threw all her luggage into the space, took out a bicycle from the space, and rode the bicycle directly to the commune.
I could have waited for the bus, but there were still two long hours before the bus departed, and I didn't want to wait that long. Plus, the bus was driving on a dirt road, so it was too bumpy, and the smell in the car was too bad, so it was better to just ride a bike.
Although your butt may be torn into pieces when riding a bicycle, at least the air is better and you can avoid the pain of motion sickness and vomiting.
Su Qingxue rode her bicycle all the way. The road was indeed a bit difficult to walk on, but fortunately, as long as she paid a little attention, it was not a big problem.
Occasionally, I would encounter pedestrians driving ox carts and I would just ride past them. Compared to the bus, my speed was not slow.
As it was getting dark, Su Qingxue wanted to get back home quickly. On the way, she met an old man from the village driving a ox cart back home. On the cart were the educated youth from the educated youth point and the aunts and sisters-in-law from the village.
When I met someone I knew, I definitely couldn't just leave. I said hello and chatted with the old men and women for a few minutes, then rode away on my bike.
"Su Zhiqing's life is so good. Not only did she marry a good husband, but her parents-in-law are also very kind to her. Now she can stop working if she wants to, and she doesn't have to worry about having no food to eat. She is so lucky."
"Indeed, if she hadn't married a good man, her life would definitely not be as good as it is now. I have never met her family. I heard that she is an orphan. I also heard that her family favors boys over girls, so she didn't even come to get married. Do you know what happened?"
"I don't know about that, but she's already married. Even if her family favors boys over girls, it doesn't matter. She and Zhou Zhiqing can just live their lives well from now on."
The old man driving the cart listened to the conversation behind him. As someone who got along well with Su Zhiqing, he couldn't stand it at all. "You old ladies just like to gossip about others behind their backs. What does Su Zhiqing's life have to do with you? Instead of worrying about that, you might as well worry more about your own family."
The old man would never admit that Su Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing gave him too much in normal times, so he always had to protect them whenever he encountered them.
Su Qingxue did not hear the subsequent gossip, and even if she did, she would not take it to heart.
After all, who wouldn't talk about others behind their backs? Even she herself would sometimes chat with Bai Jie and Feng Xue about the educated youth center or the gossip about the people in the village.
There are only a few gossips about the educated youths, but the gossips in the village are more shocking. Sometimes you think they are very conservative, but what they do will make you deafening and speechless.
It was already 6:30 in the afternoon when Su Qingxue returned home. However, the setting sun was still hanging in the sky and had not yet set, but Zhou Huaian had already gotten off work.
When he saw Su Qingxue riding a bicycle in, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was very surprised. After Su Qingxue put away her bicycle, he couldn't wait to pick her up, and spun her around in the yard a few times, laughing a few times.
"Haha, my dear, you are finally back. You don't know how much I missed you during this period. It's good that you are back. Have you missed me during this period?"
Su Qingxue's face turned red instantly. The gate of the yard was not closed. She quickly looked outside. Fortunately, no one passed by the door at this time. If someone saw her, it would be so embarrassing!
"Let me go quickly and close the door first. It would be bad if someone saw us."
Zhou Huaian was a little too happy, so his behavior became unbridled unconsciously. Hearing this, he quickly put his wife down and closed the yard door.
As soon as he locked the door, he couldn't wait to pick up his wife and walked into the house.
By the time he was lying on the bed, Su Qingxue hadn't reacted yet. It was really because his movements were too fast.
It wasn't until her mouth was blocked and she felt the sting of being bitten on her lips that she came back to her senses and gently punched his chest, "Well... why are you in such a hurry?"
Touching her lips, Su Qingxue felt that she was definitely bitten by him. She hissed and wanted to take a look in the mirror.
"I'm exhausted after the journey back here. I should at least be able to wash up!"
Zhou Huaian was breathing heavily, reluctant to let his wife go, but thinking that his wife must be very tired after sitting on the train for so long, he quickly restrained his desire. Although he let go, his hands were still on her waist, reluctant to let go.
"I missed you so much after not seeing you for a month. I don't know how I spent my days during this period. I just hoped that you would come back soon. Fortunately, you are finally back now. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."
After listening to his words, Su Qingxue looked at his face carefully and felt that he looked very haggard.
"How did you get yourself into this state? You have a scruffy beard. How long has it been since you last shaved?"
He looked extremely haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and he hadn't shaved for probably half a month. Most importantly, he was extremely thin, as if he hadn't eaten for ten days or half a month.
Su Qingxue felt extremely distressed instantly.
"I miss you. Apart from the time I spend at work every day, I spend the rest of my time thinking about you. I really don't have the energy to take care of myself. I eat whatever I want. Sometimes I don't even remember if I have eaten."
Zhou Huaian sounded aggrieved, which made Su Qingxue feel heartbroken.
Su Qingxue didn't expect that he would treat herself like this after just one month of not seeing him.
She was embarrassed to say that she hadn't thought about him much this month. She took the children out to play every day and lived a very carefree life. Suddenly, she felt that she was somewhat conscienceless.
But she would never admit it, "I miss you too. I won't go back. It's too worrying. I'm afraid that if I go back, you'll be gone."
