Chapter 15 Chapter 15 (Edited) Tian Ge'er, I want to ask you...
Tian Youcai looked at the gate for a long time, and then sighed softly.
Because of the incident when the Wu family came to their house and caused a commotion, Tian Ge has been feeling depressed these past two days.
I suddenly feel particularly happy today.
Forget it, Tian Youcai comforted himself, his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
.....
Tian Ge was a little nervous all the way.
Qin Xiong probably didn't know where he was going.
He showed up so abruptly, and he didn't know if Qin Xiong was still angry with him.
Zhuangzhuang and Qin Bao were both talkative, chattering about something, but Tian Ge didn't pay any attention.
They walked along the edge of the field and could see the Qin family's house in the distance.
Step by step, I walked to the earthen dam outside the yard.
-----Go and tell your brother first, we'll be waiting for you at the door.
Tian Ge gestured.
Qin Bao said okay and was about to push the door open.
Unexpectedly, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened from the inside.
Qin Xiong was wearing only trousers and was shirtless when he met them.
Tian Ge immediately saw Qin Xiong's muscular chest, which was so full that it seemed bigger than that of a young man like him.
He dropped his eyes suddenly, but the scene seemed to be imprinted in his eyes.
The incongruous pink nipples, the distinct muscle lines on the firm belly, and the fuzzy black abdominal line below Qin Xiong's belly button...
Tian Ge blushed.
He had seen his brothers shirtless before, but never like this.
"Brother, Brother Xiaotian is here..." Qin Bao stuttered before he could finish his words, and the courtyard door was quickly closed again.
Tian Ge heard the door close and then dared to raise his head.
"Well, Brother Xiaotian, don't take it to heart. If I'm sorry, my brother must have gone to change his clothes." Qin Bao saw a layer of mist in Tian Ge's eyes and became a little anxious. He didn't expect that he would end up making things worse.
Tian Ge nodded.
"Uncle, why does Uncle Qin have hair here? Dad doesn't have any." Zhuangzhuang pointed at his chest and asked curiously.
Tian Ge quickly reached out and gently covered Zhuangzhuang's mouth.
Qin Bao was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground, pretending not to see Zhuangzhuang's eager eyes.
Qin Baogang saw it right away, and his elder brother was still holding his underpants in his hand.
My eldest brother probably just finished washing clothes and was about to hang them out to dry in the yard.
My eldest brother has strong hands and can squeeze the water out of wet clothes, but he always makes the clothes wrinkled like a ball of pickles.
How could it be so small? Brother Xiaotian happened to see it.
Qin Bao thought about making amends for his elder brother, "Brother Xiaotian, my brother is not like this usually. He usually wears clothes..."
Qin Bao thought that he had lied to Brother Xiaotian again against his conscience.
His brother usually doesn't pay attention to this and sometimes it's common for him to wear only shorts at home.
Qin Bao could only be thankful that his brother was wearing pants today.
-----Or we can go home first.
Tian Ge stood there restlessly, talking to Qin Bao, and then took Zhuangzhuang's hand and started to go back.
The door reopened at this time.
"Come in and sit down." Qin Xiong's voice was steady, as if nothing had happened just now.
Tian Ge looked and saw that Qin Xiong had changed into a gray and black long coat and trousers, and his shoes were also clean.
But the hair on his temples was wet, with water dripping from the tips. I guess he had just washed his face.
Tian Ge held Zhuangzhuang's hand tightly.
The sun was still high in the sky, and it was broad daylight. He came to deliver food to repay a favor, and Zhuangzhuang was with him.
Even though something so embarrassing happened just now.
But Qin Xiong didn't mean it.
"Come on, Brother Xiaotian, come inside and sit for a while. I'll make you some tea." Qin Bao said cheerfully, picking up the bamboo basket. "Brother, Brother Xiaotian has made us another fish stew. It's delicious. You're in for a treat."
"Thank you. Come in and have some water." Qin Xiong continued.
Tian Ge then walked in. When she walked next to Qin Xiong, she smelled a refreshing scent of soapberry.
Tian Ge was welcomed and sat on a stool in the main room, placing his hands politely on the edge of the table.
The tables and chairs are spotless and wiped clean.
Qin Bao said he would make him some tea, but as soon as he entered the door, he disappeared and took Zhuangzhuang to the backyard to see the dog.
"I'm sorry for being rude just now." Qin Xiong came over with a bowl of water and sat opposite Tian Ge.
The water in the bowl was still steaming.
It would have been fine if I hadn't mentioned it, but once I did, that scene flashed through Tian Ge's mind again.
Tian Ge felt uncomfortable all over.
-----It's fine.
Tian Ge shook her head and took a sip of the bowl of water to ease the embarrassment.
The water temperature is just right.
It's sweet.
Added sugar.
Tian Ge took another sip in surprise and felt that the candy was sweet to the heart.
Finally daring to look up at Qin Xiong, Tian Ge noticed with her sharp eyes that Qin Xiong's ears were very red.
The last bit of discomfort in my heart also dissipated.
I hope he's not the only one feeling embarrassed.
Qin Xiong took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the cabinet beside him.
Facing Tian Ge's puzzled look, Qin Xiong explained: "These are Qin Bao's stationery. I brought some to make it easier for you to talk."
The fine brush is brand new and has not yet been sharpened.
The inkstone has never been opened.
The paper was light yellow and had a smooth surface. Tian Ge had seen others use it at the teacher's place and knew only that it was expensive, high-quality paper.
They are all new.
Tian Ge held the bowl in both hands and watched Qin Xiong pick up his pen and inkstone without blinking.
Then the fine and smooth brush was handed to him.
Tian Ge likes the smell of pen, ink and paper.
He played with the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote two words on the paper first - thank you.
Qin Xiong nodded, then took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms, "Qin Bao told me that you want me to hand this to you personally."
Tian Ge's relaxed mood suddenly tensed up again.
He was right in saying that.
But why did these words sound so wrong coming from Qin Xiong's mouth?
"Open it and see if you like it." Qin Xiong said, handing over the wooden box.
Tian Ge thought that he already knew what was inside.
But I still opened it obediently.
There was only a green handkerchief folded in the wooden box, and the purple one was gone.
Tian Ge looked up in surprise.
Qin Xiong saw the fondness in Tian Ge's eyes and knew that he had guessed right, "That day, I saw you staring at this green handkerchief without blinking, and then I thought of the handkerchief you embroidered yourself, which was also light in color, so I thought you liked this handkerchief."
Tian Ge couldn't describe her feelings at the moment. It was as if Qin Xiong saw through her at a glance. She felt worried, but also strangely happy.
----I like it very much, thank you.
"But that day you were angry and picked another purple one." Qin Xiong said again.
After hearing this, Tian Ge felt guilty again.
Qin Xiong is so nice, but he got angry with Qin Xiong for no reason that day.
"I'm sorry" came out of Qin Xiong's mouth before he even picked up the pen to write on the paper.
"That day in the county town, you put on makeup and I saw someone with bad intentions staring at you. I didn't explain the reason to you, but insisted on walking with you. I made you angry. I'm sorry." Qin Xiong said.
----I'm sorry for you. I lost my temper with you. It's all my fault. Please forgive me.
Tian Ge didn't expect that Qin Xiong was not angry with him, but was worried that he would be angry.
"I remember that you were angry with me when we were still in the cosmetics shop, but is there any other reason? Can you tell me directly today?" Qin Xiong asked.
Tian Ge froze for a moment.
At that time, he misunderstood. Listening to the conversation between Qin Xiong and Qian Duo, he thought that Qin Xiong was going to buy cosmetics for his wife, and he got angry for no reason.
But how could he tell Qin Xiong the reason?
Tian Ge stood up, took out the shoes wrapped in cloth from the bamboo basket, and handed them to Qin Xiong.
-----You saved me from the river that day, and I thought of making you a pair of shoes as a thank you. Please try them on and see if they fit.
Anyone could see that this was such an abrupt way of changing the subject.
Tian Ge looked at Qin Xiong nervously.
The shoes were taken.
Qin Xiong measured it on his own feet and it seemed just right.
"I washed my feet before putting them on at night. Thanks for taking the trouble."
----It's okay, as long as you like it.
Tian Ge was so happy that his handwriting seemed to float a little.
He raised his eyes and saw Qin Xiong looking at him with burning eyes.
Tian Ge stopped laughing and felt a little uneasy.
----What's wrong?
"Tian Ge'er." Qin Xiong's voice was deep, but also seemed softer than usual, and his speech speed was a bit faster. "Do you know how close it is for a young man to make shoes for a man?"
----You are my savior.
Tian Ge hurriedly explained and tried to make amends for himself.
Of course he knew that every bride in the village would make a pair of shoes for the man she was destined to marry when she was about to get married.
It not only shows the embroidery skills, but also expresses the feelings.
He would make a close-fitting jacket for Qin Xiong, which would be more suitable than a pair of shoes.
Qin Xiong's pupils are darker than those of ordinary people, his facial features are sharp, and there is a long scar on his cheek. When he has no expression, he looks stiff and fierce.
But Tian Ge felt the tenderness in Qin Xiong's eyes.
Qin Xiong didn't say anything either, leaving him alone in this anxious atmosphere.
Tian Ge lowered his eyes and raised them again. He could hardly bear such a gaze.
He stood up suddenly.
----I'm going home.
Tian Ge wanted to run away. If he continued sitting here, he felt like he could hardly breathe.
"Tian Ge'er, your handkerchief is still with me. I didn't lose it." Qin Xiong took out the gray cotton handkerchief from his arms and held it in his palm. "I could have returned it to you directly, but I don't want to do that. Do you know why?"
Tian Ge walked to the door and turned sideways to see the dirty handkerchief she had used to wipe her sweat, held in Qin Xiong's palm.
He was anxious and ashamed and wanted to get it back, but he didn't dare to get close to Qin Xiong.
----Why?
Tian Ge's gesture hit Qin Xiong's mark.
"Because I want to interact with you, I want to buy things for you, I want to hear you talk to me, I want to see you smile at me. Tian Ge'er, you are so smart, you can understand what I am saying, right?"
Tian Ge felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head, his chest was pounding, and he couldn't understand anything at all.
Tian Ge turned around and ran, even forgetting Zhuangzhuang.
"Tian Ge'er, I want to find a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage. Will you agree?" Qin Xiong's voice came from behind.
Tian Ge had never heard Qin Xiong speak in such an inappropriate tone.
Quickly, with clear emotions.
This doesn't fit with the man's usual calm and composed image, even when faced with a mountain collapse.
But how can I ask him such a question so directly?
Even if it's more tactful.
Tian Ge was so embarrassed and angry that her ears were buzzing. She wanted to run home immediately and hide herself in the quilt.
He stopped in front of the door and wanted to run out, but his feet seemed to have taken root and would not let him leave.
His face was hot and he must have blushed.
Tian Ge had no choice but to turn around and glare at Qin Xiong, her eyes filled with tears and her face flushed.
The author has something to say:
