It was all because she didn't care enough about the Gu family and Gu Juncheng in her previous life, so she didn't pay any attention to Chen Xia at all.
The villagers stepped forward and helped Gu Juncheng and Chen Xia up from the net.
Chen Xia finally stopped hanging on Gu Juncheng's neck and held Gu Juncheng's hand. "Hey, Brother Chengzi, your hand is bleeding, what should I do? It's all my fault."
Lin Qingping stood at the back of the crowd, staring at the two men through the crowd.
Gu Juncheng was a very perceptive person, so he had already noticed her presence. He withdrew his hand and said casually, "It's okay, just a minor injury."
When the villagers saw that the man had been rescued, they all went about their own business, busy with farming.
In the back mountain, only Gu Juncheng, Lin Qingping and Chen Xia were left.
Chen Xia only saw Lin Qingping at this moment. She was standing next to Gu Juncheng and called her "sister-in-law". She looked very surprised and asked, "You are here too?"
Lin Qingping didn't know whether Chen Xia's surprise was real or fake. She smiled and looked at Gu Juncheng, "Didn't mom tell me that there is a younger sister at home? Why don't I know her?"
Gu Juncheng was about to say something, but Chen Xia immediately took over and said with a smile, "Brother Chengzi and I have known each other since we were wearing open-crotch pants. It's all my fault today. I shouldn't have made an appointment with Brother Chengzi to reminisce about the past. As a result, we encountered a landslide and Brother Chengzi was injured. I'm sorry, sister-in-law!"
Tsk tsk tsk. Lin Qingping said several times in his heart, this level is really high!
Lin Qingping smiled slightly and took Gu Juncheng's arm, "Chengzi, the meal is ready at home. Mom asked me to come and call you to eat. Does your friend want to go?"
Chen Xia's eyes fell on Gu Juncheng's arm, which she was holding.
In rural areas these days, it is rare for couples to hold hands like this in public.
Chen Xia's eyes dimmed and he smiled awkwardly, "No, no, I have something else to do..."
"Oh, then we'll go first. Goodbye." Lin Qingping took Gu Juncheng's arm and walked down the mountain. She looked up at him from time to time and found a dead grass on his temple. She smiled and reached out to pick it off for him.
Chen Xia was behind them, looking at Lin Qingping's beautiful smile, his eyes became increasingly dim.
————
Lin Qingping knew that Gu Juncheng was looking at her.
From the moment she put her arm around Gu Juncheng on the mountain, Gu Juncheng had been looking at her.
But Lin Qingping pretended not to know.
When she got home, she found the medicine that Gu Juncheng had applied on her arm the night before, sat in front of him, and ordered him to stretch out his hand.
The reason why the command was used was because Gu Juncheng was such a tough guy that he wouldn't take a slight scratch on the back of his hand seriously.
"This is different from what we usually do..." He completely ignored her.
Lin Qingping had no choice but to put on a threatening face, "I don't care how you train normally! In the army, your soldiers listen to you, but at home, you have to listen to me!"
Gu Juncheng later stretched out his hand to her helplessly, but she didn't care and just carefully applied the medicine on the back of his hand, blowing on it as she applied it. Gu Juncheng looked at her serious expression with her head down and was speechless.
Lin Qingping didn't care what he thought. She let him go to eat only when she was satisfied with the coating. Zhiyuan stayed at the table after he finished eating and was reluctant to leave.
When they left, mother-in-law Liu Fen was still talking to Zhiyuan, "If you like it, eat more! Why did you run away?"
Lin Qingping knew that Zhiyuan liked to eat the pumpkin pie today, but as a child living under someone else's roof and having always been disliked by her, he was inevitably sensitive and it would be difficult for him to change in a short time.
She left two pumpkin pie for Zhiyuan and gave them to him later.
Speaking of which, Zhiyuan liked to eat sweets in his previous life. How could a stubborn and tough person like him like to eat sweets...
Gu Juncheng was stunned for a moment when looking at the food on the table.
If it were her, she would also be stunned. After all, since she married into the Gu family, no one in the entire Gujia village has seen her do any work.
Gu Juncheng always ate quickly. She sat opposite him, and before she finished a pumpkin pie, he had already finished a whole bowl...
"Is it delicious?" she asked him with a smile, her voice sweet and a little coquettish.
Gu Juncheng was about to eat his second bowl of rice. When he heard this, he paused with his chopsticks. After taking a bite, he said, "She asked me to help with the orchard. Her brother's foot was injured."
Lin Qingping bit the pumpkin pie, nodded, and smiled with eyes curved, "Yeah!"
Was he answering her that the lunch was delicious or explaining what happened on the mountain?
This "she" naturally refers to Chen Xia...
Anyway, that's just his personality, sullen and he won't say directly what's on his mind. It was like this in his previous life. No one knows what he's thinking. She just sends her money on time every month and good things that can't be bought in the countryside.
He still has a very high prestige in the village. The village party secretary thinks that since he was in the army, he knows a lot, so he asks for his opinion on everything when he comes back. He invited him again right after dinner.
This busy work lasted the entire afternoon. In the evening, Gu Juncheng was invited to have dinner at home, and Lin Qingping was invited to join them.
Lin Qingping is happy!
She went there happily, but as soon as she entered the door, Chen Xia came.
Chen Xia smiled, picked up a piece of meat, and said, "Secretary, my brother's foot was injured during this period, and we have been fortunate to have your family help with farm work. Otherwise, I don't know what to do. My brother asked me to come and thank you."
Then, he looked surprised and said, "Oh, Brother Chengzi and sister-in-law are here too!"
The secretary smiled and said, "Yes, I am staying with Chengzi and his wife for dinner. Would you like to join us?"
"This..." Chen Xia glanced at Gu Juncheng and Lin Qingping, "That's great, I haven't seen Brother Chengzi for a long time, sister-in-law, do you mind?"
Lin Qingping had a smile on his face and was laughing inside.
The village party secretary invited her to dinner, and she minded? She wouldn't be so rude, right?
Besides, even if she said she minded, didn’t Chen Xia sit down?
After the dishes were served, the village party secretary brought out a jar of homemade wine.
In those days, alcohol was a luxury. How could the villagers buy alcohol? They brewed their own alcohol. Even if they did, they couldn’t make rice wine. Grain was so precious. They could only make wine from wild fruits on the mountain, such as wild plums, wild grapes, and wild plums. Gujia Village was backed by mountains, and almost every household did the same.
The branch secretary enthusiastically filled Gu Juncheng's glass with wine, but Gu Juncheng said he didn't want to drink and had to return to the army the next day.
A hand reached out and picked up the cup in front of Gu Juncheng, "Brother Chengzi has rules and cannot drink. Let me drink this cup for Brother Chengzi!"
Chen Xia.
Hmm? Lin Qingping thought this guy was really interesting.
Chen Xia looked innocent and simple as he looked at Lin Qingping, "Sister-in-law, Brother Chengzi and I are like brothers. I drank it for him!"
