Tong Yiya didn't know where he went to process the pheasant. Anyway, she didn't hear any sound outside the cave for a long time. After about twenty minutes, she saw someone coming back with the processed pheasant.
He also brought back an armful of firewood that was not too wet. He put the firewood aside, skewered the pheasant with the wooden sticks he had sharpened long ago, added some more firewood to the fire, and then put the pheasant on the fire and started roasting.
Neither of them spoke, and for a moment the cave was so quiet that only the slight sound of burning firewood could be heard.
Deng Jinbo turned the wooden stick in his hand, and glanced at the woman opposite from time to time. Seeing her sitting there quietly, he felt that now should be an opportunity, otherwise he would have to return to the army in a few days.
He was afraid that he would miss this opportunity and would never have another one, so he went over what he wanted to say in his mind before he opened his mouth and said, "Tong Zhiqing, I like you. Are you willing to date me? I promise that I will treat you well in the future and will only be loyal to the country and you."
Tong Yiya came along today, also thinking that the two of them should clarify their relationship. Seeing that he had already made it clear, she replied: "Comrade Deng, I am still young and don't have the idea of dating yet, so I can't agree to your request. I'm sorry."
Deng Jinbo felt very disappointed when he heard her rejection, but thinking that her answer was just that she didn't want to date at the moment, he asked, "What if I am willing to wait for you? I wonder if I still have a chance?"
"Comrade Deng is very good and excellent, but I don't have any feelings for you. I still hope Comrade Deng will not wait any longer. I don't want you to miss other good girls because of me." Tong Yiya didn't know what the feeling of being attracted to someone was at all. She was afraid that if she said it vaguely, she would give people the wrong hint, so she just said it directly.
"I understand," Deng Jinbo said after hearing this. The other person had said it so directly, how could he pretend not to understand?
Deng Jinbo felt very uncomfortable. Tong Yiya also saw that he needed to be alone, so she stood up and said, "Then I will go back first. I hope Comrade Deng has a bright future."
Without hearing his answer, she walked out of the cave and went down the mountain along the path. After returning home, she went straight back to the house and lay down for a while.
She knew that she really had no feelings for Deng Jinbo, and it would be better for both families if she made it clear earlier.
But thinking that she had rejected Deng Jinbo, she thought that Aunt Guihua's family would gradually become distant from her in the future, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed about this matter.
Deng Jinbo on the mountain also came out of his loss not long after she left. He thought that since he was rejected, he should go back to the army as soon as possible. When he was busy there, he wouldn't think about these things anymore.
He put out the fire in the cave, wrapped the half-burnt pheasant in a large leaf, took a few pheasants aside, and went down the mountain and back home.
When he returned home, Aunt Guihua could sense that he was in a bad mood, because he didn't say anything when he came back, just put down his things and went back to his room.
Aunt Guihua touched Uncle Deng Wu who was sitting next to her with her arm. When she saw him looking over, she whispered, "Dad, why do I feel like our third child is not very happy? Did something happen? Go ask him."
Uncle Deng looked at his youngest son's closed door, then turned to look at his wife's worried expression, and could only agree, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he got up and went to his son's room. He knocked on the door before pushing it open and walking in.
When he entered the house, he saw his son lying on the kang with his eyes closed. He walked over and sat beside the kang. Knowing that he was not asleep, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen? If you are unhappy, tell your father."
Deng Jinbo didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, Uncle Deng Wu saw that he couldn't get any information out of him, so he prepared to get up and leave. At this time, Deng Jinbo's voice came from behind him, "Dad, I'm going to pack up and go back to the army soon. I may not be able to come back for the New Year in the next few years. You and mom are well. If my military rank is promoted and I can have my family accompany me to the army, I will come to pick you up and live with me in the army for a while."
When Uncle Deng Wu heard this, he almost guessed what was going on. However, seeing that his son was in pain, he did not mention anything else. He just replied, "Okay, I'll go out and ask your mother to prepare some food for you to eat on the way. Your mother and I don't ask anything from you. We just want you to be well."
"Yes, I will, Dad. Thank you and Mom for your help," Deng Jinbo replied.
Uncle Deng Wu had just left his room and had just closed the door and walked away when Aunt Guihua came up and took him to their room. As soon as she entered the room, she asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, he will be back to the army soon, you can prepare some biscuits and boiled eggs for him to eat on the way," said Uncle Deng Wu.
"Why do you have to leave so early? Didn't we agree to leave the day after tomorrow?" Aunt Guihua asked
"Hey, maybe he was rejected by Tong Zhiqing and felt a little sad, so he wanted to go back early. Don't ask us, we can't control this, go and prepare food," said Uncle Deng Wu.
When Aunt Guihua heard that it was about love matters, she stopped asking questions. However, after knowing the result, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Before she knew her son's feelings, she thought Tong Zhiqing was good in every way and that no one in their village was worthy of this girl.
Later, when she found out that her son liked her, she felt that they were a good match, and she was happy that they could be together. Even when she felt Tong Yiya's rejection when she went to deliver something, she didn't feel anything.
Now that she knew her son was rejected, she felt a little bit strange that Tong Yiya was ungrateful. In the end, she gave up and went to prepare food for her son.
Uncle Deng was afraid that his wife would blame Tong Zhiqing, so he didn't tell her that his son had no plans to come back for the next few years.
This was originally a matter between the two children, and it was not appropriate for them to interfere. However, they thought that their relationship with the other side could not be the same as before.
Uncle Deng sighed and went to help. Deng Jinbo also stood up and started packing his things.
He didn't stay at home for long, so there wasn't much to pack. It didn't take long for him to pack everything. He saw that his parents had already prepared the food and packed it for him.
He wanted to go to the town early to take a bus to the county and buy a ticket, so he said goodbye to his parents, packed his bag and set off.
After sending her youngest son away, Aunt Guihua felt a little reluctant, so she said to her husband: "You can make dinner yourself, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going to lie down for a while."
"Okay, go lie down for a while, I'll call you when dinner is ready," said Uncle Deng Wu
Tong Yiya didn't know that Deng Jinbo had left. When she woke up, it was already dark outside. She didn't go out of the house, but went straight into her own space, made dinner in the space, and continued to study acupuncture.
