Chapter 10



As the girl came closer, Chen Xi discovered that her facial features were even more delicate and beautiful. Her peach blossom eyes had particularly long and thick eyelashes, and her eyes were clear, but she was probably not very old.

Chen Xi glanced at him quickly and then immediately looked away, waiting for the other party to speak.

However, seeing that the other party didn't say anything for a long time and just stared at him, he frowned slightly. He didn't intend to waste time, so he put his long legs on the pedals and prepared to leave.

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Yang Shu had no choice but to speak hastily: "Wait, big brother, can you lend me some water?"

This era was still very conservative, and Yang Shuying was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, so he simply said that he and his two nephews went to the mountains to pick mushrooms. His second nephew was a little tired, thirsty, and unable to walk, and there was no clean water source nearby, so he wanted to borrow some water.

Yang Shuying was a little worried that the other party would not be willing to lend it.

She carefully looked at the water bottle on the other person's waist. It was a military water bottle, which was still very rare and precious in that era.

However, after hearing what she said, the other party took off the kettle without hesitation and asked her where her nephew was.

Yang Shuying's eyes lit up, and he took the kettle and thanked him quickly.

really!

Soldiers are all good people!

Last time she was injured, I took the initiative to take her to the clinic, and this time I helped her again.

Yang Shuying was very impressed by the tall and stern soldier in front of her, and told him the location of her little nephew.

The location is not far, just nearby.

Yang Shuying led the soldier back the same way.

Soon returned to the two nephews.

At this moment, both nephews looked a little listless, their lips were chapped, their cheeks were slightly red from the sun, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, which made Yang Shuying feel very distressed.

I regret that I worked too late to get some points.

As the tree shadow approached, the two nephews said in unison: "Aunt, I'm so thirsty!"

Yang Shuying sat on a big rock with a distressed look on his face. He opened the lid of the military water bottle and fed water to his two nephews one after another.

While feeding them water, he reached out to wipe the sweat off their foreheads one by one and asked them, "Are you tired?"

In the evening, the sun was about to set and the sky was filled with red clouds.

The woman sat on the big rock, her cheeks seemed to be even redder, her gentle, careful and charming look made Chen Xi's eyes a little dazed, and even he himself did not notice that his eyes had been focused on the woman without him noticing when, as if he was stuck with glue and could not move his eyes away.

"Car, car, car..." Erhu, who had finished drinking the water first, regained his spirit. He smacked his lips and noticed a strange man next to him.

Soon, Erhu's attention was attracted by the bicycle. He jumped up excitedly and wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare. He could only pull the corner of Shuying's clothes and said excitedly: "Auntie, bicycle!"

Yang Shuying had already fed Dahu water. From the sound of Erhu smacking his lips, she knew that the boy must have just eaten candy again. No wonder her face was a little pale from thirst when she came back.

The two nephews drank the water and she also felt a little thirsty, but she didn't plan to drink it. After all, that was a very conservative era.

It would be so embarrassing if the other person didn't mind sharing a water bottle with the child but minded her.

She was going to return the military water bottle immediately so as not to waste his time, but she saw Da Hu running to the soldier's side without her noticing.

The soldier carried Dahu to the front seat of the car, which made Dahu's little black face turn red with excitement.

Erhu was too eager to show his shyness and ran over to ask for a seat. The soldier followed closely and carried Erhu into the car.

The two brothers were so excited that they immediately touched here and there, moving their little butts around. Fortunately, the soldier was very strong and the bicycle pattern did not move.

"Aunt, I'm riding a bicycle!"

"I'm sitting too!"

The two naughty kids were twisting the handle excitedly. Yang Shuying couldn't stand it anymore, so he let the two nephews down one by one. Then he returned the military water bottle to them with an embarrassed look on his face and thanked them.

Seeing the little girl's red face and chapped lips from exhaustion, Chen Xi did not take the water bottle immediately but asked simply, "Aren't you thirsty?"

Yang Shuying was stunned for a moment before he realized what the other party meant, and his favorable impression of this soldier rose to a higher level.

The soldier is really a good person!

But she still refused: "No, thank you!"

Chen Xi nodded, took the water bottle, and went to the front of the trailer.

"Da Hu and Er Hu have got off the bus, it's time for us to go home!" said Yang Shuying.

Bicycles are very rare in the countryside. In the entire Hongyang Society, only the team leader's family has one. The two kids were sitting on such a rare bike and there was no way they were willing to get off.

Yang Shuying saw that the sun had already set and it was getting late. If he didn't go back home, he would be worried.

Just as I was about to force the two children down one by one, a deep voice suddenly rang out beside me: "I'll take you back!"

"No!"

As soon as Yang Shuying refused, the two kids in the car got angry: "Aunt, I want to ride!"

"Aunt, I want to ride in a car too! I have never ridden in a car before!" said Dahu.

Yang Shuying: “…”

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Yang Shuying covered his face when he heard Dahu and Erhu in front of him screaming excitedly.

This time I really caused trouble for them.

She was really embarrassed. She must find a chance to repay him later.

Answer: The soldier.

Riding in a car was much more comfortable than walking, and their backpacks were hung in front of the bicycles. However, as soon as they entered the village, many people called out her name and asked if the other person was her partner.

Yang Shuying was stunned and regretted that he was so soft-hearted and did not force his two nephews to come down.

She has a bad reputation in the village now, so let others talk about it for now, but what if she affects the reputation of the helpful soldier?

Fortunately, the distance from the village entrance to Yang's house was not long. It took less than ten minutes for the bicycle to stop at her door.

After finishing her work, Yang's mother went out of the small courtyard to see if her daughter had returned.

Then I saw a very energetic young man bringing back his daughter and two grandsons.

Mother Yang was startled.

"mother!"

After Yang Shuying got off the car, she wanted to carry her two nephews out of the car. Before she could do anything, the soldier moved very quickly and carried the two children out of the car first, and then handed the backpack to her.

Da Hu and Er Hu were reluctant to go home after getting off the bike. They wanted to touch the bikes more, but Yang's mother chased them in: "Go, go, go! Go to the yard and play!" She then asked: "Girl, who is this boy?"

Yang Shuying noticed that Yang's mother's eyes were shining as she looked at the soldier on the bicycle. Her enthusiastic eyes seemed as if she was looking at her future son-in-law. She wanted to help her.

really!

Not long after, I heard Yang's mother chatting with the soldier. The first few sentences were normal, but in the next few sentences, she started to ask about his personal affairs, such as whether he had a partner, how old he was, and where he worked.

Yang Shuying looked embarrassed and was about to interrupt Yang's mother when he heard the stern-looking soldier patiently responding to her words one by one.

When Yang's mother heard that the man was single, young, and a military officer, she became even more excited and wanted to introduce her daughter to him immediately.

Yang Shuying couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted her mother: "Mom, it's almost time. It's almost dark now and I still have things to do!"

As expected, after hearing this, Yang's mother hurriedly stopped talking. Yang Shuying had not forgotten that her two nephews had almost drunk up the water in the soldier's kettle.

Before leaving, she helped the other person fill up the kettle, and then found an excuse that her sister-in-law was looking for her to quickly get Yang's mother away.

After Yang's mother left, Yang Shuying sincerely thanked the soldier again and again.

Chen Xi replied with a stiff face: "No need!"

Yang Shuying felt that it was most likely Yang's mother who was asking the question, and he felt even more sorry in his heart: "I'm sorry, my mother is more enthusiastic, and I'm the only daughter, and country girls get married earlier, so my mother is more anxious!"

"Um!"

"Thank you so much today. You also took me to the clinic last time when I was injured!"

Tian Shangshan had been busy all day, and her hair was a little loose, with a few strands hanging down to her cheeks. As Shuying spoke, he hooked the loose strands of hair behind her ears, revealing her fair cheeks.

Chen Xi's heart was slightly moved, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the face of the little girl beside him, but he quickly looked away: "Which time?"

Yang Shuying roughly mentioned the time, and Chen Xi quickly remembered it, and was surprised: "It's you?"

"Yeah, it's me! Thank you so much!"

The two didn't talk for long, but before the other person rode away, he asked her something that caught her off guard: "At what age do people get married in your village? Do you have a partner?"

After the other party rode away on his bike, Yang Shuying woke up from her daze. However, she remembered that the other party was most likely asking casually, so she didn't think much about it and turned into the yard.

In the yard, Dahu and Erhu were excitedly bragging to Xiaohu and their two little nieces.

The conversation couldn't get away from the bicycle ride.

Yang's mother was just coming out of the house in a hurry. She asked her with a look of regret, "Is that young man who looked so energetic gone?"

Yang Shuying nodded.

"Did you say anything?" asked Yang's mother.

Yang Shuying was afraid that Yang's mother would make a random choice, so she quickly replied, "No!"

"How come there isn't one?" Yang's mother looked disappointed.

How outstanding was that guy just now?

He has a straight posture, is very tall and good-looking, and is a military officer!

If it was in the village or a nearby village, she would definitely find someone to help her find a matchmaker for her daughter.

Unfortunately, he was not from the village, so she couldn't find anyone to act as a matchmaker.

"Why isn't this guy from the village?"

Yang Shuying: “…”

Yang's eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and third sister-in-law Wang Rong had heard from Dahu and Erhu that there were bicycles to take them and their sister-in-law back.

After they finished their work, the two of them secretly looked around in the yard.

They actually saw the man who brought his sister-in-law back.

Needless to say, in the eyes of Hong Xiaojuan and Wang Rong, the young military officer in olive green not only looked outstanding, but also had an unusual aura. He was probably a city dweller. How could the sister-in-law be worthy of him?

Not to mention that the person my sister-in-law is currently obsessed with is a male educated youth named Jiang in the educated youth center.

Don't offend anyone then.

Actually, the two of them also wanted their sister-in-law to find a partner as soon as possible, and not embarrass herself by stealing from her best friend.

They were even more worried that their sister-in-law would fall in love with the officer because he was good-looking, and would get entangled with him. What would they do if the village's reputation became even worse and the Yang family was implicated?

So Yang's eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan hurriedly said: "I think he is from the city, and I think he is looking for someone from the city too!"

These words completely put Yang's mother's mind at a standstill, and Yang Shuying breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, two little nieces and Xiaohu came over to the yard. The two nieces were too shy to look at her from a close distance. Xiaohu coquettishly hugged Yang Shuying's calf and said, "Aunt, I want uncle to take a ride!"

Yang Shuying: “…”
