Su Xiaqiu had two fertilizer bags hanging on the rear of his bike and two net bags hanging on the handlebars, one filled with eggs and the other with snacks.
She wore a hat and a scarf, leaving only her eyes visible.
The snow was not heavy, but the ground was covered with a white layer.
When they were almost at the village, Su Xieqiu saw a tall man walking towards them not far away.
She felt that the figure seemed familiar, and when she got closer, she found that it was Han Zhenyu.
Su Xieqiu hurriedly got out of the car, but because the ground was slippery and she got down in a hurry, she almost fell.
Han Zhenyu walked forward quickly, holding the handlebars with one hand and hugging her with the other.
Su Xieqiu patted his chest in fear, looked at him with surprise and said, "You're back."
Han Zhenyu helped her stand up first, looked at the large and small bags of things in the car, and then said helplessly: "It's so cold and snowing, why are you running to the city alone? Can't you wait for me to come back and buy it?"
"I was afraid of the heavy snow and it would be hard to go out, so I thought of going to the city to buy some things." Su Xieqiu looked at him and asked, "When did you come back?"
"I went to the factory this morning and did some work. I just came back." Han Zhenyu patted the snowflakes off her body, and helped her adjust her scarf and hat. He then pushed the bicycle and said, "Let's go home quickly. The snow is getting heavier."
There were two big bags hanging on the back seat, which made it uncomfortable to sit on.
Han Zhenyu said: "Why don't you sit in the front."
Su Xieqiu quickly shook his head after hearing this, "No need. It would be so embarrassing if someone saw us. Let's walk back. How about you ride and I walk."
"It's okay. There was no one on the road when I came. No one will see me."
In fact, what Han Zhenyu was thinking was that they were an open and legitimate couple, so what if they were seen by others?
The two of them were just riding a bicycle and they were not doing anything immoral.
But he also knew that his wife was shy and afraid of being laughed at by others.
Su Xieqiu glanced towards the village and saw that there were indeed not many people there.
She was still hesitating whether to sit or not. Han Zhenyu smiled and carried her up.
"Wife, sit down, let's go home."
The two were so close that Su Xieqiu felt his breath was brushing against her ears.
She subconsciously touched her hot cheek, then looked straight ahead, trying to ignore the man behind her.
When Su Xieqiu looked just now, there were indeed not many people on the road.
But as soon as they turned into the village, they saw two loud women standing at the door talking, and not far away there were a few children wearing hats running around in the street.
Su Xieqiu lowered his head and whispered, "Ride faster and go quickly."
Han Zhenyu held back his laughter and obediently quickened his pace.
Just as they were about to pass by, a woman saw them and greeted them in a loud voice, "Zhenyu is back from his business trip? Who were you bringing along?"
"Auntie, this is my wife." Han Zhenyu didn't stop, responded with a smile, and hurried forward.
"Oh, I was wondering why they looked familiar." The woman suddenly realized and whispered to another woman, "This couple has such a good relationship. They even ride their bikes close to each other."
"A short separation is better than a new marriage. Zhenyu has been away for many days. Isn't it rare to see him now?"
They were both some distance away, but Su Xieqiu could still hear their conversation.
She dared to guarantee that within a day, this matter would spread to every corner of the Sanhua Brigade.
She nudged the person behind her with her arm and said angrily, "It's all your fault. Why did you let me sit in the front? It's annoying."
Han Zhenyu chuckled and was about to say a few nice words to coax her when he saw Xiang Guoqiang and Luo Jie coming out of the Youth League Home carrying things, apparently they were moving.
"Comrade Han is back?" Xiang Guoqiang asked with a smile.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because many dating men and women in Hai City rode bicycles like this.
Su Xieqiu groaned in his heart. He shouldn't have listened to Han Zhengyu just now. It was so embarrassing.
She pinched Han Zhenyu's arm and whispered, "Put me down quickly."
Han Zhenyu held back his laughter, stopped the car immediately, waited for Su Xieqiu to get out, then smiled and nodded to the two of them.
"Xiang Zhiqing, Luo Zhiqing, have you cleaned up your house?"
"I've packed it up and will move in today."
Xiang Guoqiang said gratefully: "Comrade Han, your grandfather has given us a lot of help and advice during this period. When we are done, we will treat your whole family to a meal. I hope you will do us the honor then."
Han Zhenyu didn't know about this yet. He smiled and said, "You are too polite. We are all from the same village. Don't take this little thing to heart."
Several people walked towards the foot of the mountain while talking.
When they got home, Su Xieqiu saw that the door was locked and looked at Han Zhenyu in surprise, "Why is there no one at home? It's snowing, where are grandma and grandpa?"
Han Zhenyu parked his bicycle at the door, took out the key from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Grandma and Grandpa said that they missed home after living in our house for so long, so they asked my second brother to take them back. Chenchen and Anan also wanted to live with relatives, so the two elders took them away as well."
"It's only been about ten days. My uncle and aunt came over yesterday and said everything is fine at home. What is there for grandma and grandpa to worry about?"
Su Xieqiu was a little confused and looked at Han Zhenyu suspiciously, "You just came back and grandma and grandpa left. Did you say something to make them unhappy?"
Han Zhenyu: “…”
He pushed the bicycle into the yard, locked the gate from the inside, and then said with a smile: "Wife, I didn't say anything, and grandma and grandpa are not unhappy. They must be missing home. Let them go back and stay for a few days, and then bring them over later."
Su Xieqiu was half-believing and half-doubting, and followed him into the main room.
Han Zhenyu parked the car in the corner and took down the bags on it.
He opened a woven bag and saw a bundle of vermicelli, various dry goods, chicken, pork, beef, ribs, lamb chops, a big black fish, snacks, candies...
The other pocket contained cloth, cotton, pears, apples, and various sundries.
He gritted his teeth and nodded at her, "Su Xieqiu, you are great."
After saying that, he ignored her and took those things directly to the small room inside, hiding all the conspicuous things in the cupboard.
Because there is heating in the house, the meat must not be placed here.
Han Zhenyu took the meat to the kitchen, and when he put it in the basin, he looked at the killed big black fish and fell into deep thought.
How could he not know which fish seller could help kill the fish?
I remember that they also ate a big black fish like this some time ago.
At that time, the woman Su Xieqiu said that she bought it from the city.
It had already been processed when he came back, so I don't know if someone else helped kill it, but it's about the same size as this one and looks a bit similar.
He thought about it carefully and it seemed that the things Su Xieqiu took out every time were very similar, and they were all these things.
Han Zhenyu stared at the pot of meat for a while, sighed heavily in his heart, and rubbed his forehead with his hand.
