Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Idiot, I'll wait for you
Qin Xiong just stared at him, as if he would not give up until he got an answer.
Out of the corner of her eye, Tian Ge saw Zhuangzhuang and Qin Bao coming out of the backyard.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, are you ready to go home?" Zhuangzhuang asked, coming to his side.
Tian Ge nodded, subconsciously reached out and touched her hot cheek.
Then he realized something was wrong and quickly put his hand down.
"Brother Xiaotian, you have come to my house with great difficulty, so please stay for a while longer. Is it because my brother did not treat you well enough?" Qin Bao is much bigger than Zhuang, so he naturally noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Tian Ge smiled at Qin Bao.
Looking at Qin Bao, Tian Ge caught a glimpse of Qin Xiong who was still the same as before.
Standing there like a log.
Qin Xiong still held the dirty handkerchief tightly in his palm.
Tian Ge walked forward.
One step, two steps.
Standing in front of Qin Xiong.
Tian Ge really didn't dare to look Qin Xiong in the eye. She just pulled the handkerchief out of Qin Xiong's hand and then stepped back.
He was just as tall as Qin Xiong's shoulders, and with his eyes slightly lowered, he could only see the area below Qin Xiong's chest.
I originally thought Qin Xiong would hold it tightly.
But it didn't.
He pulled it gently, and the handkerchief slipped out of Qin Xiong's palm.
The handkerchief still had the residual warmth of Qin Xiong on it.
Tian Ge felt that she was now as light as the handkerchief.
He went to the main room and came out with a bamboo basket hanging on his wrist.
Qin Xiong didn't even turn his body.
It's strange, Qin Xiong's posture hasn't changed at all.
However, Tian Ge saw a sense of decadence in the back of the figure.
-----I'm leaving, bye.
Tian Ge waved goodbye to Qin Bao and left holding Zhuangzhuang's hand.
When he reached the gate of the yard, Tian Ge couldn't help but look back.
Qin Xiong was still standing in the yard, standing there.
She didn't stare at him anymore, but just looked at the ground with her eyes down.
Tian Ge had never seen such clear emotions on Qin Xiong's face before.
There's even a hint of redness at the corners of her eyes.
Tian Ge was stunned.
He stopped.
He waved vigorously at Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong didn't even look up at him.
Qin Bao didn't come forward until Tian Ge and the other man disappeared in front of the door. He was puzzled and said, "Brother, why are you like this? I think Brother Xiaotian is quite happy."
"Xiao Bao, am I really that bad?" Qin Xiong then looked up at the open gate and answered a question irrelevantly.
"Of course not!" Qin Bao opened his eyes wide.
Qin Xiong said nothing and turned to go into the house.
On the table in the main room were the paper, pen and ink that Tian Ge had just written on.
There was still most of the sugar water left in the bowl.
Qin Xiong subconsciously reached into his collar, but found nothing.
By the way, the handkerchief has been returned to its original owner.
"Brother, did you buy new pens, ink, and paper? Why don't you just come to my room and get them?"
Qin Bao saw what was on the table and tried to change the subject, but his brother ignored him.
"Brother, what did you say to Brother Xiaotian? Why did Brother Xiaotian call you an idiot?" Qin Bao took the paper and looked at it.
Such delicate handwriting is obviously not his brother's, it can only be Brother Oda's.
Qin Xiong snatched the paper and read it from top to bottom, and saw a line of words at the bottom that he had never seen before.
------Fool
------I'm waiting for you
"Brother, don't scare me. Why are you suddenly laughing so creepily?" Qin Bao really couldn't understand.
Qin Xiong folded the paper and put it in his chest.
Sit down on the stool.
Worried, I took out another piece of paper to check.
Confirm several times.
Look at the bowl on the table again.
Suddenly, Qin Xiong saw a spot of red on the edge of the white porcelain bowl.
A blurry lip print.
It's almost invisible if you don't look carefully.
With a touch of the fingertips, the red spot quickly disappeared.
Is this rouge?
Qin Xiong picked up the bowl, moved it to the side, put his lips right next to the red mark, and drank most of the bowl of water.
.....
Tian Ge came out of Qin's house and was walking on the edge of the field when he met Chen and his group.
The Chen family is the only one in the village that has an ox cart.
When everyone went to the county town to attend the market, they had to greet the Chen family and ask for a ride.
Therefore, every family has a good relationship with the Chen family.
"Brother Tian? Why are you here? I saw you coming out of the Qin family. Are you visiting the Qin family?" Chen asked.
Tian Ge smiled and nodded.
Chen was stunned. She didn't expect Tian Ge to admit it so naturally.
"Zhuangzhuang, what are you doing at the Qin family?" Chen asked again.
"Go visit." Zhuangzhuang was shrewd and knew that others were trying to trick him.
-----We'll be leaving first, take care, aunties.
Tian Ge smiled and gestured, neither warm nor cold, and left with Zhuangzhuang.
Seeing Tian Ge walk away, Chen shook her head and spat on the edge of the field beside her, "How shameless!"
"That's right. A young man went into that man's house and was shameless when he was caught. This time we saw it with our own eyes. We can't say that we deliberately framed his Tian family." Another person from the same village took over.
"It's broad daylight, and Tian Ge saw it openly, and he didn't go alone. Young man's life is very important, so don't talk nonsense."
"Mrs. Zheng, everyone in the village says that your daughter Qing'er is no match for a mute, but you have a good heart and always say something nice for everyone." Chen said sarcastically.
Chen was used to being flattered. People always wanted to ride in her ox cart, and she was not afraid of offending anyone.
The woman called Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she spat on the ground and turned away.
"You are so tough. Don't come to beg me next time, and don't ride in my ox cart." Chen spoke in a loud voice, specifically for Mrs. Zheng to hear.
The people around him quickly said a few compliments and changed the subject.
The news that Tian Ge went to the Qin family soon spread throughout the village.
The more it's passed on, the more outrageous it becomes.
It was spread out again within half a day.
Even Tian Ge and Qin Jia were caught having an affair in bed, so Tian Ge hurried back home to hide.
As a man from the Tian family, Jin Guihua doesn't like to hang out with the crowd.
Naturally, I am not that well-informed about the gossip in the village.
In the evening, after dinner, the family sat by the fire pit, waiting for the water to heat up.
All everyone knows is that Tian Ge is very happy today.
Tian Da was talking to Tian Er when he suddenly saw Tian Er trying to hold back his laughter and nodding in Tian Ge's direction.
Tian Ge was sitting alone on a stool, twisting a green handkerchief unconsciously with his fingers, staring blankly at the fire, smiling happily.
I don't know what he's laughing at.
Soon, everyone in the family focused their attention on Tian Ge.
The room was quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood.
She had been staring at him for quite a while, but Tian Ge didn't notice it. She just twisted the handkerchief between her fingers, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
"Hehe, Tian Ge'er, this handkerchief is very beautiful. It doesn't look like it's made of cotton. I don't think I've ever seen you use it before." Jin Guihua also said while holding back her laughter.
Tian Ge came to his senses.
Suddenly, I saw my father, brother, sister-in-law, and even Zhuangzhuang, all looking at me.
"I heard from Dad that Ge'er and Zhuangzhuang went to Qin's house today?" Tian Er said again.
"Yes, Dad said Xiaoge went out with a smile on her face. She looked so happy." Tian Da added.
Tian Youcai saw that the youngest child's face and ears were red, so he tried to smooth things over, "Okay, don't catch your brother asking questions. As long as Tian Ge'er is happy, that's all."
The family is close and everyone knows what Tian Ge is thinking.
Tian Er pretended to be stubborn and said, "How can that be? As the elder brother, we naturally have to care more about our younger brother, isn't it, Xiao Ge'er? How about visiting us today? If you are so happy, tell us about it."
Tian Ge stood up and ran back to her room.
"Slow down, don't fall." Tian Er said with a smile behind him.
"If I get too anxious and fall down, I'll see how you end up." Tian Dadao said.
Tian Er just smiled, and as he smiled, he let out a long sigh.
The eldest brother and Tian Ge are of different generations in age, so after getting married, they have to take care of their own families.
After my mother left, my father and eldest brother worked hard to provide for the family.
The one who brings Tian Ge the most is Tian Er.
How could I bear to do that?
.....
The second day, the third day.
It's the fourth day.
Tian Ge was so impatient that he kept looking out the door, eagerly waiting.
The initial expectation has slowly turned into anxiety.
His words were written so clearly, and Qin Xiong was so smart, how could he not understand it?
Could it be that Qin Xiong didn’t see it at all?
Tian Ge suddenly thought of this.
That’s right.
When leaving that day, Qin Xiong's face looked so grim. Maybe he thought that he had refused and was too lazy to read the words on the paper.
Tian Ge paced back and forth in her room, almost crying out of anxiety.
Just as I was wiping my tears, I heard someone outside the house say that a matchmaker had come to the house.
Tian Ge hurriedly pushed the door open to look, not caring about the tear marks on her cheeks.
It was a stranger, not a matchmaker from this village.
The Tian family had been at home these days, so they weren't surprised to hear the matchmaker was coming.
In fact, as early as the evening of the second day, Tian Er went directly to Qin's house.
He wanted to catch Qin Xiong and ask him what he meant by ignoring their youngest brother.
Unexpectedly, I came back empty-handed, and Qin Bao was the only one at home.
Qin Xiong went to Lin County to buy some cattle. Even if he hurried, he would probably take two or three days to come back.
When asked, Qin Bao didn't know why his brother suddenly wanted to buy a cow, and it seemed that he didn't know much about other things. Tian Er had no choice but to go home and wait.
"Good morning, Brother Tian, have you had breakfast?" The matchmaker was wearing a bright red top, black cloth pants, and her hair was neatly tied up. She looked neat and tidy.
"Yes, have you eaten? If not, just have a bowl of porridge." Tian Youcai said with a smile.
As usual, Tian Da and Tian Er moved tables and chairs to the yard and set out melon seeds and tea.
"Brother Tian, you are a sincere man. Thank you. I ate it too." The matchmaker sat down. "I came here today, and I won't beat around the bush. There is a man from your village who is attracted to your young man, and I came to ask your opinion."
The matchmaker glanced at Tian Ge and smiled even more deeply. "This is the child, right? I think it's a really good baby. How old is it this year?"
Tian Ge was anxious, but the matchmaker refused to tell her who was proposing the marriage.
"He just turned seventeen, so he's an adult now." Tian Youcai pulled Tian Ge to his side. "He's my youngest son, named Tian Ge, the song of the oriole."
"Tian Ge, what a nice name."
Tian Ge smiled and bowed slightly to the matchmaker.
The matchmaker gently took Tian Ge's hand and smiled lovingly, "Good child, I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of Qin Xiong from your village. Are you interested in him?"
