Chapter 159 He Misunderstood Before
Jiang Rou invited Song Qingqian after their conversation in the afternoon.
At that time, Song Qingqian was deeply shocked by what Jiang Rou said. Her mind was in a mess and she was not focusing on the things at hand.
Jiang Rou stopped talking at that point.
What choice to make is ultimately Song Qingqian's personal decision.
Jiang Rou simply packed up the clothes that were almost finished and put them all into a bamboo basket, and also took away the needles and thread that she needed.
"I'll take the remaining handicrafts from the clothes home and do them. I won't bother you today, but I'll definitely come back next time."
When you get up and leave.
Jiang Rou turned around slightly and invited Song Qingqian.
"Two days later, I have made an appointment with the other sisters-in-law to go to the mountain behind the military camp to pick wild vegetables. Qingqian, do you want to go with me? And with the other sisters-in-law."
Jiang Rou specifically reminded all the "other sisters-in-law".
Song Qingqian's focus is not here, but rather...
"Digging wild vegetables?"
For a young lady from a wealthy family in Shanghai, Song Qingqian probably found it difficult to understand the meaning of these three words.
"Yes, we dig wild vegetables! I remember you said before that you wanted to eat noodles with scallion oil. I said at the time that scallion oil made with wild scallions has a special fragrance and tastes better. There are also wild scallions in the back mountain."
At this moment, Jiang Rou subtly dropped a hook.
Still on the hook, I changed it to a fish bait.
She was not in a hurry to pull up the fishing hook immediately, but instead let out the long line to hook the big fish.
"Qingqian, you don't have to answer me now, you can take your time to think about it. But I hope to see you at my doorstep two days later in the morning."
After Jiang Rou finished speaking, she nodded slightly to Song Qingqian and said goodbye.
Then she went out into the yard.
"Xiaochuan, Xiaohua, we are going home."
Following Jiang Rou's shout, Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua immediately jumped over to Jiang Rou's side.
The mother and her two children, hand in hand, gradually left Song Qingqian's sight.
Ever since Jiang Rou left, Song Qingqian has been thinking about this invitation. Should he accept it or not?
It is undeniable that Song Qingqian was moved.
She has been living in this house for more than half a year, and the farthest place she has been to is the supply and marketing cooperative at the dock.
She also wanted to see the blue sky outside.
This is still a very good opportunity.
but……
Her going out would definitely cause rumors in the compound, which might also cause more trouble for He Donglai.
Think about this.
Song Qingqian's excited mood slowly calmed down.
But just when she was about to give up.
Jiang Rou's words echoed in Song Qingqian's mind once again.
[Perhaps Captain He hopes that you can rely on him, and he even hopes that you can rely on him a little more...]
Does He Donglai really not think that she is a big trouble?
…
In this way.
That’s why this scene happened late at night.
Song Qingqian took the initiative to ask He Donglai for his opinion.
This was also the first time that the couple exchanged their ideas on the same thing.
He Donglai was somewhat surprised after hearing this.
After all, he had seen Song Qingqian wearing an expensive evening gown covered in gorgeous jewels.
But I have never seen Song Qingqian and the three words "digging wild vegetables" closely linked together.
He even felt that someone like Song Qingqian should be living a life of luxury, eating the most expensive ingredients, and not even eating wild vegetables.
However……
He Donglai saw a faint light in Song Qingqian's pale pupils.
Just like when she was drawing the clothes.
Song Qingqian is happy.
He Donglai understood in his heart and spoke out.
"Qingqian, you can do whatever you like without my permission."
Song Qingqian retorted, "But once I leave the house, those people will definitely make some bad comments about me, and they will also bring you into the conversation."
He Donglai's eyes moved, and he heard another layer of deeper meaning in Song Qingqian's words.
"So, that's why you didn't go out before?"
Song Qingqian didn't expect that her subconscious words would actually sell herself out, and were captured by He Donglai.
She bit her lip in annoyance.
It's really not a good idea to admit it, nor is it a good idea to deny it.
The whole person froze there.
He Donglai could see Song Qingqian's embarrassment, but he hadn't seen Song Qingqian's expression so rich in a long time.
Therefore, he did not speak out to ease the atmosphere at the first opportunity.
He thought...it turned out that he had misunderstood before.
He Donglai thought that Song Qingqian didn't like this poor little island and was still yearning for a prosperous metropolis, so she was unwilling to go out.
It turned out to be because of those rumors, which were about him.
gradually.
Song Qingqian gradually couldn't help it, and pursed her lips. Seeing that He Donglai hadn't said anything, she became anxious and spoke directly.
She was still proud, "So what?"
At the same time.
He Donglai also said, "Qingqian, those are not important."
The two people's voices overlapped and they looked into each other's eyes.
"They have their own mouths. They can say whatever they want, and we can't shut them up. Besides, I'm in the barracks for almost ten hours a day. The barracks are closed, so I have no chance to hear those discussions. But you... you don't care, that's the most important thing."
At this moment.
Song Qingqian stared at He Donglai, and seemed to really understand what Jiang Rou meant by "a couple who support each other."
…
Nightfall.
There was a ding-dong sound in the Zhou family's little house.
There was a row of small bowls in front of Zhou Xiaohua, and she was knocking on them with a ding-dong sound. Her tune had changed from "soldiers return to the camp after shooting" to "Listen~ the horn of a new journey is blowing~".
Not only did she knock on the door herself, she also forced Zhou Xiaochuan to knock on the door as well.
In this respect, Zhou Xiaochuan is a complete music idiot.
Even though Zhou Xiaohua only gave him a small bowl, he still couldn't grasp the rhythm and always got the beat wrong.
But this made Zhou Xiaohua anxious.
[Brother, you are wrong! You are wrong! Brother, you are wrong! ]
Zhou Xiaohua is such a soft and chubby girl that she is willing to share even food with Zhou Xiaochuan.
The only thing she was particularly serious about was singing, forcing Zhou Xiaochuan to do it again and again.
[Brother, do it again! Don’t make it wrong this time! ]
On that round and cute face, there is a sincere and sincere look.
After a while.
The ding-dong-dong music sounded again.
Aside.
Jiang Rou listened to the music and continued with her handwork.
The needle and thread are passed through the fabric, stretching the sewing thread, then turned around and tied into a knot.
She lowered her head and bit the stitches with her teeth.
Finally——
"Alright! I'm done! I'm done!"
Jiang Rou put down her needle and thread, shook the small clothes in her hands, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
After working so hard for so long, I finally completed the last stitch tonight.
Jiang Rou said excitedly, "Xiaohua, come here quickly, we are wearing new clothes!"
