Chapter 72 Chapter 72

Jia Guoye was horrified after hearing her words. Thinking of Xiaorui being alone at home after he went out, he was frightened for a while. It was almost creepy to describe it. He was just very glad that Xiaorui was fine.

He had never heard of such a thing before.

The village atmosphere in Dongjia Village was still good. The people living in the village were all acquaintances from generation to generation. Although some villagers had their own little schemes in their hearts, and occasionally heard that someone had a little friction with someone else's family, they were all trivial matters. At most, they pretended not to see it and didn't say hello when they met.

But there had never been such a thing as burglary before. Such a rare thing happened in his house for the first time.

…

Although Jia Guoye was also in a state of turmoil in his heart, he remained calm in front of Xiaorui, giving her peace of mind.

He said to Jia Yourui in a gentle voice: "Xiaorui, I will take you back to Xijia Village now. You will stay at your parents' house tonight, and I will pick you up tomorrow."

"I will check the house tonight and clean it up at the same time." He said.

Jia Yourui was a little worried. She was hugged in his arms, and she tilted her face slightly, still frightened, with tears in her eyes.

She said worriedly:

"Will you be in danger? What if, what if he is still hiding at home?" "

Or, why don't we go home together tonight, or call some people to search the house now to see if the thief has left."

"It's okay."

Jia Guoye touched her messy hair and said softly: "He doesn't dare to come out when you are alone at home, which means he is either very timid or has left. I don't have to worry about it."

"Really..."

Jia Yourui bit her lip, still looking uneasy.

...

Jia Guoye coaxed her for a while, and the poor little beauty nodded and was willing to go home to sleep tonight.

"Do you want to take the clothes back?" Jia Guoye asked.

Jia Yourui shook her head, her voice was very low and trembling: "There is one at home."

She and her sister always had a room at home.

"Let's go, I'll take you home now." Jia Guoye smiled and said, "Maybe we can catch your dinner."

...

After closing the door and making sure it was locked, Jia Guoye clapped his hands, turned around and said to Jia Yourui: "Let's go."

Jia Yourui stretched out her hand naturally. Jia Guoye took a look. She looked small and white. Holding her in his palm, she felt soft and smooth.

...

The smoke from the cooking stove was curling, and the sunset was lingering. If you recall this scene many years later, the memory will be beautiful.

The two crossed the river and walked towards Xijia Village.

...

Xijia Village, Jia Kaiqian's home.

Liu Xiuli was cooking in the kitchen. Liangliang, who had just returned home from school, kept shouting that she was very hungry. She stuck to her college student "teacher" at home and asked, "Teacher Chen, are you hungry?"

Chen Bingwen smiled and said, "It's okay. Dinner will be ready soon. There's no rush."

​​Jia Kaiqian and his son Jia Youkai were sitting on the doorstep smoking. Both of them were barefoot. They had just finished work and came home, discussing how much grain to leave for the family this year.

"I never thought that we could have a college student." Liu Xiuli came over, patted her husband and father-in-law on the back, pointed at Jia Mingliang clinging to Chen Bingwen and looking happy and well-behaved, and whispered happily:

"Look, Liangliang listens to Teacher Chen more."

Jia Kaiqian took Chen Bingwen's test paper to the village teacher for grading, and the result was exactly as he promised - one question was good.

Although he still might not be a college student, since he could solve the problem in such a short time, he must have something extraordinary. Liu Xiuli and Lin Fei thought that it was just a matter of taking him in for a few days and adding a pair of chopsticks, which was not a big problem.

The young man had a good face and could solve problems, which could just save Liangliang's math grades that had failed for many years.

There is a little teacher living at home. When Liangliang comes home, he can tutor him when he has time. That's good.

After Chen Bingwen entered the house, he shyly said that he wanted to take a bath and asked if he could get a set of clean clothes to change. He was really uncomfortable with the dirt on his body.

Lin Fei agreed, and gave him a large bucket of warm water, and also gave Chen Bingwen a set of good clothes for his son.

Chen Bingwen thanked her.

...

After taking a bath, Chen Bingwen felt refreshed and his temperament became cleaner. Lin Fei wanted to wash his clothes, but he refused.

Chen Bingwen took the soap, learned to draw water from the well, and slowly washed his dirty clothes on the side, and then hung them on the clothesline to dry.

…

After school, Jia Mingliang followed Chen Bingwen to listen to the explanation of the test paper once, and the little girl was completely impressed by the gentle and polite teacher Chen

. After learning that Chen Bingwen was a college student, the junior high school student Jia Mingliang was even more impressed. She couldn't even study well in the first grade of junior high school, but Teacher Chen could study and get into college. It was amazing.

She thought, no wonder Teacher Chen explained the questions clearly and simply, and patiently explained theorems to her from the beginning. The teaching level might be higher than that of the teachers in school.

Jia Mingliang was too proud to let a college student tutor her at home. If she told others, I'm afraid her classmates wouldn't believe it.

Teacher Chen explained the questions in a way that she could understand. His voice was also pleasant and gentle. He did not even get angry when he repeatedly explained theorems to her for questions she did not understand...

Jia Mingliang felt that she was simply in love with studying, and said that she would continue to do the questions after dinner.

...

Liu Xiuli was naturally happy to see her daughter so happy and motivated. She told her husband Jia Youkai about Chen Bingwen's origins. Although Jia Youkai also thought it was a bit fantastic, he had no objection when he saw his daughter happy and his parents agreed.

The main reason was that Chen Bingwen looked weak and frail, and it was really hard to believe that he was a person with ulterior motives and could do anything bad.

...

The only trouble was that there might be no place for him to live at home.

There are four rooms in the house, one for Jia Kaiqian and Lin Fei, one for Jia Youkai and Liu Xiuli, and one for Jia Mingliang and Jia Mingyu. This room is the largest and has the best lighting. It was originally the master bedroom for Jia Kaiqian and Lin Fei, but the old couple gave it up and now has two beds, one for each of the siblings.

As for the other room, it is reserved for the sisters Jia Youqian and Jia Yourui.

Even though the eldest and youngest daughters have married and don't come back often, Lin Fei never forgets to clean the room belonging to the two daughters every day when she cleans the house, and she also insists on changing the quilts regularly, so Qianqian and Ruirui can move in immediately whenever they want to come back.

Jia Youkai asked his wife: "Where will the college student stay tonight? Have you arranged it?"

Liu Xiuli said: "It has been arranged. After he took a shower, we put his suitcase in the room."

"Which room will he stay in?" Jia Youkai asked.

Liu Xiuli said naturally: "Where else can he stay? He can stay in an empty room." She looked like "Is there any need to ask this?"

"No." Jia Youkai refused immediately after hearing her words.

That was the room of my sister and my younger sister. How could we let a foreign man stay there for a few nights?

"Why not?" Liu Xiuli asked, "There is no other room at home. Do you want you, me, or my parents to vacate an empty room?"

Jia Youkai thought for a moment and said, "Empty Liangliang and Mingyu's room, let him sleep in Mingyu's bed, Mingyu sleeps with us, and Liangliang sleeps in the empty room."

Liu Xiuli got angry, "There is an empty room at home, but you don't let him sleep there. You have to move him around like this and bother him, right? Liangliang still has to get up early to study."

"How am I bothering him? Where do you get so angry? You think I'm not tired enough today, and you want to make things difficult for me when you get home."

"Jia Youkai, you..."

The couple was about to quarrel, and Jia Kaiqian, caught in the middle, wondered whether he should say something, but he was good at work, but his mouth was just average.

Moreover, as an elder, what could he say when the young couple quarreled? Jia Kaiqian considered his words carefully, fearing that his daughter-in-law would think he was biased.

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Fei, who was busy in the kitchen, said loudly: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat, those who set the table, set the table, those who set the chopsticks, set the chopsticks, bring the bowls, bring the dishes, come on..."

"Humph."

The couple held their breath and went to work separately.

…

At the dinner table, Jia Youkai and Liu Xiuli still ignored each other, but Jia Mingliang and Jia Mingyu were quarreling. The laughter and liveliness brought by the siblings masked the cold war between the couple.

Jia Mingliang put down his bowl and said first: "I'm done."

Liu Xiuli asked in confusion: "Do you want another bowl of porridge? Didn't you say you were hungry just now?"

Jia Mingliang shook his head: "No, I'm full."

Jia Mingyu said mischievously: "Hehe, sister is not full, she lied, sister said last night that she wanted to be as slim and beautiful as her aunt."

"Jia Mingyu! You,"

Jia Mingliang blushed, why is her brother so rude, he would spill whatever she said to him.

Everyone at the table laughed. Liu Xiuli said with a smile, "Want to lose weight? I'll make you thinner. You're growing taller now. If you don't eat more, you'll become a dwarf in the future. Don't come to me to cry later."

She picked up her daughter's dinner and went to the kitchen to add more porridge without saying a word.

"Mom." Jia Mingliang was a little angry and very shy: "I'm really full."

Really, there were strangers at the table. She lost all her face.

She had a good impression of Chen Bingwen. She thought he was very handsome and admired his knowledge. Now Jia Mingliang almost didn't dare to look at the handsome big brother.

...

"Liangliang."

Chen Bingwen spoke in a pleasant voice: "You are also very beautiful."

Jia Mingliang was so shy that she could only look at him with her peripheral vision. She whispered: "Really? I don't believe it."

Everyone said that my aunt was beautiful, but no one had ever said that she was beautiful.

"Really." Chen Bingwen said gently: "There are many kinds of beauty. You are young and energetic now. You smile very sunny and look very beautiful."

He said: "Your aunt is beautiful in one way, and you are beautiful in another way."

Jia Mingliang's face was hot, and she didn't know what to say.

No one has ever praised her like this. Isn't it not just the face that can be described as beautiful?

After listening to what Chen Bingwen said, Jia Youkai said with emotion:

"College students are more educated, and what they say is really sophisticated."

"Indeed, Liangliang, you see, Teacher Chen has said that you are beautiful, but you can't mess with your body. People are made of iron, and food is made of steel..."

Lin Fei's words were interrupted, and there was a knock on the courtyard door. Everyone looked up.

Jia Kai said humbly: "Eh? Guoye, Ruirui, why did you suddenly come at this time?"

He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the door.

...

Ruirui?

In the yard, Chen Bingwen's original smile froze on his face, and he lowered his head hesitantly. He was a little tormented in his heart and had a hard time looking at the door.
