"Uncle Zhao!" Jiang Chun took Shen Qinghe into the house, helped her sit down, and looked at Zhao Heping anxiously.
Zhao Heping laughed heartily, "That's what you thought."
Jiang Chunlin's eyes lit up, "Uncle Zhao, can you help my wife feel her pulse and see how the baby is doing?"
Zhao Heping nodded and looked at Shen Qinghe.
I just took a quick glance at the door just now, and now I see that Zhao Heping's face looks a little heavy.
Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe looked at his expression and felt nervous.
"Uncle Zhao..."
"Don't talk, let me take your wife's pulse first." Zhao Heping interrupted Jiang Chunlin.
Shen Qinghe hurriedly extended her arm.
Zhao Heping glanced at her and gently placed his hand on her wrist.
"The pulse is very stable." Zhao Heping said, withdrawing his hand.
Jiang Chunlin frowned. His expression just now didn't seem very calm.
"Uncle Zhao, there's one herb you just put out to dry at the door that I don't recognize. Can you tell me about it?"
Zhao Heping glanced at Jiang Chunlin, immediately understood what he was thinking, and walked out with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Zhao."
Jiang Chunlin followed and said quickly, "Is Qinghe okay?"
"Didn't I just say that her pregnancy is very stable?" Zhao Heping looked at Jiang Chunlin and smiled.
"But the way you looked at her just now didn't seem to be in a good mood." Jiang Chunlin's eyebrows were so tight that they could kill a fly. He said carefully, "Uncle Zhao, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't be shy."
"Xiao Jiang, I know you love your wife very much." Zhao Heping patted Jiang Chunlin on the shoulder, "Don't worry, she's fine."
Jiang Chunlin looked at Zhao Heping carefully, and was relieved when he saw that he did not seem to be lying.
"Please help spread out the herbs that I haven't dried yet. I want to talk to your wife." After saying this, Zhao Heping walked into the house.
"Uncle Zhao." Jiang Chunlin called out to Zhao Heping.
Zhao Heping turned around and looked at Jiang Chunlin meaningfully, "Don't worry, I said she's fine, so she's fine. Why, you're not willing to help me do something?"
"I'll bask in the sun now."
Jiang Chunlin frowned. This was the first time Uncle Zhao and Shen Qinghe met.
What is it? He needs to talk to Shen Qinghe alone, and he can't hear it.
Jiang Chunlin respected Zhao Heping very much, so he did not follow him.
"Uncle Zhao!" Shen Qinghe stood up quickly when she saw Zhao Heping coming in.
"Sit down!" Zhao Heping smiled and raised his hand, motioning Shen Qinghe to sit down, and he sat down opposite her.
Shen Qinghe sat down slowly and looked at Zhao Heping nervously.
"Uncle Zhao, is there something wrong with my child?"
"Your child is fine, there's no problem." Zhao Heping picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked up at Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe looked at Zhao Heping in confusion. Since the child was very good, why did he look at her like that?
Zhao Heping did not look at Shen Qinghe, and said calmly, "Xiao Jiang and I are close friends regardless of age difference. I like this child very much. I will never have children in this life, so I treat him as my own son.
I don't care where you come from, I just hope you can treat him sincerely and not hurt him.
He looks careless, and even the villagers are afraid of him and call him the village bully, but he is a very sentimental person. "
Shen Qinghe's heart skipped a beat and her body froze.
What did Zhao Heping mean by this? Did he see something?
"Don't be nervous, I know you are a good comrade, it's just..." Zhao Heping didn't continue.
Because he couldn't see through Shen Qinghe's fate, which was somewhat different from that of ordinary people.
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I won't hurt Jiang Chunlin.
He treats me well, and I will treat him well too!"
Zhao Heping looked at Shen Qinghe in surprise. This girl spoke in an interesting way.
He treats me well, and I will treat him well too!
What she meant was that the prerequisite for her to be nice to Jiang Chunlin was that he had to be nice to her first.
If it's not good, I will leave immediately.
She is a rare and insightful girl.
"Okay, uncle believes in you, and I believe in Jiang Chunlin even more." Zhao Heping got up and went to the inner room.
After a while, he came out with a jade pendant and handed it to Shen Qinghe.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, this is my gift to you."
The jade pendant is crystal clear and is obviously made of top-quality Hetian jade.
Shen Qinghe waved her hands and said, "Uncle Zhao, I can't accept such an expensive gift."
"I just said that I treat Xiao Jiang as my own son, and since you are his wife, I will naturally not treat you badly.
This jade pendant was given to me by an old master in a temple in Mount Wutai many years ago. It has been blessed to bring peace and safety. Please accept it."
Zhao Heping handed the jade pendant forward again.
Shen Qinghe accepted it solemnly, "Uncle Zhao, Jiang Chunlin and I will be filial to you together in the future."
Zhao Heping grinned and said, "Okay!"
Seeing Jiang Chunlin peeking at the door, Zhao Heping said disdainfully, "Come in, I'm not a tiger, do you think I can eat people?"
Jiang Chunlin rakes his hair with his hand, walks in awkwardly, his eyes fixed on Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe smiled and shook her head slightly at him, raising the jade pendant in her hand.
Jiang Chunlin was surprised, he had seen this jade pendant before.
Uncle Zhao said it was a treasure, so why did he give his treasure to Shen Qinghe?
Zhao Heping saw through Jiang Chunlin's thoughts and said calmly, "No matter how precious it is, it is just a thing. People should not be controlled by things."
Shen Qinghe glanced at Zhao Heping, what a master.
…
After leaving Zhao Heping's house, Jiang Chunlin continued to walk with Shen Qinghe.
After walking for a while, Shen Qinghe could no longer bear it, "Jiang Chunlin, can you go slower?"
You can even see the ants under your feet.
"You can't go fast. You're carrying my baby in your belly." Jiang Chunlin held Shen Qinghe's hand and continued to walk slowly towards home.
Shen Qinghe rolled her eyes rudely.
"You have two bodies now, you will get tired if you walk too fast," Jiang Chunlin added.
Shen Qinghe felt warm in her heart. She thought he only cared about the baby.
"Shen Qinghe, are you pregnant?" Jiang Xiaohui had just walked over from the nearby intersection. He heard their conversation and looked at Shen Qinghe in astonishment.
"Isn't it normal for my wife to be pregnant?" Without waiting for Shen Qinghe to speak, Jiang Chunlin put his arm around Shen Qinghe's shoulders and looked at Jiang Xiaohui provocatively, "Are you trying to say that I'm incapable, or that my wife doesn't want to give birth to a baby for me?"
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Xiaohui said in a low voice, "Congratulations!"
After saying this, he didn't care about Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe's reactions and walked past them.
After taking two steps, he was kicked hard on the buttocks.
Jiang Xiaohui was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground, hitting his chin on a small stone, causing him to tremble all over in pain.
"Jiang Xiaohui, are you still a man? You are going to marry Qi Qingmei soon, but you are still thinking about my wife. Is it because I haven't beaten you during this period of time that you are too soft-skinned? I have to tighten it up for you."
Jiang Chunlin stepped on Jiang Xiaohui's back, preventing him from getting up.
Jiang Xiaohui simply gave up and lay on the ground, smiling bitterly.
"It was all my wishful thinking from the beginning to the end."
What's more, at this point, what qualifications does he have to like Shen Qinghe?
He only regretted that he missed her on the road of life when he didn't understand love.
When he understood why, he had to marry a woman he didn't love.
*******************************************************************************
Jiang Chunlin was startled and took his foot away from Jiang Xiaohui's back.
He cursed, "That's good to know. If you try to hook up with my wife again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Jiang Xiaohui got up from the ground. His white shirt was covered in dirt. His chin was scratched by a small stone and blood was oozing out.
But he still had a refined temperament, and he didn't look embarrassed even in this state.
Jiang Xiaohui looked at Jiang Chunlin, "I don't have any feelings for Shen Qinghe now, because I'm not worthy of her, but is it not okay to be friends with her?"
"no!"
Before Jiang Chunlin could get angry, Shen Qinghe spoke first.
She looked at Jiang Xiaohui indifferently, "Stay away from me from now on."
Whether in reality or in the book, Qi Qingmei regards Jiang Xiaohui as a thorn in her side just because of his one-sided love for her.
She doesn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Xiaohui at all now.
Qi Qingmei led the villagers to catch Zhu Yinling's adultery with great fanfare. She always felt that this matter was related to her.
But she couldn't tell what the relationship was.
Zhu Yinling's mouth is a big sieve. Qi Qingmei couldn't even use her to discredit her, so why did she want to kill her?!
Shen Qinghe didn't figure it out, nor did she want to think about it. No matter how big the problem was, it was not as important as the baby in her belly.
Shen Qinghe looked at Jiang Chunlin and said softly, "I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when I get back." Jiang Chunlin glared at Jiang Xiaohui, took Shen Qinghe's hand and walked back.
"Oil-splashed noodles!" Shen Qinghe said with a smile, "The noodles you rolled are very chewy."
"No problem, I'll make it for you when I get back. Do you want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs?" Jiang Chunlin still walked very slowly, so Shen Qinghe just followed him.
Jiang Xiaohui watched the two people slowly walking away, then lowered his eyes to glance at the scraped palm of his hand. The piercing pain was not as great as the pain of his disappointment in life.
Thinking of something, he turned and walked towards Zhu Yinling's house.
"Yinling, how come you are so capable? I see the village chief has been very nice to you lately, and the tasks he assigned to you are all easy."
"Don't talk nonsense. The village chief treats everyone equally. He assigned me an easy job because he saw the pity of me, an orphan and a widow."
"Tell me the truth, what on earth did you do that night?"
"Pulling pig grass. Didn't you go there that day? I came out carrying a basket of pig grass."
Zhu Yinling was sitting on the stone at the door and chatting with a few village women.
There is always trouble around a widow.
Normally even flies wouldn't come to her house, but now they were running to her house, just to find out who the man was who she was fooling around with that night.
Zhu Yinling likes to hang out with people and gossip, but she also has to consider what the gossip is.
She would never say anything that cannot be said.
"Hey, why is Teacher Jiang here?" A woman wearing a maroon headscarf was the first to see Jiang Xiaohui and asked in surprise.
Jiang Xiaohui smiled gently, greeted everyone, and then looked at Zhu Yinling.
"Aunt Zhu, Qingmei wanted to borrow your shoe sample again after borrowing it last time. She asked me to come and get it."
What the hell are these shoes? Qi Qingmei is the shoe maker.
Zhu Yinling was secretly complaining in her heart, but she smiled kindly on the surface.
"Okay, come with me into the house and get it."
Zhu Yinling knew that Jiang Xiaohui must have something to ask her, so she walked into the house first after she finished speaking.
Jiang Xiaohui followed in.
Zhu Yinling took out a small bamboo basket from the inner room, which contained all the tools she needed to make shoes.
The door was open. She placed the bamboo basket on the square table in the main room and said to Jiang Xiaohui, "Teacher Jiang, please sit down and talk."
Jiang Xiaohui sat on the other side.
Zhu Yinling glanced at the gossipy women outside the house who were looking in, and asked with a smile, "Teacher Jiang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes, something happened." Jiang Xiaohui asked directly, "Who was the man you were fooling around with that day?"
Zhu Yinling's face changed. She didn't expect Jiang Xiaohui to come and ask her about this, and he asked so directly that she was not prepared at all.
She smiled uncomfortably, looked outside the house, and smiled at the people outside.
Then he turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaohui and whispered, "Many people in the village saw me that day. I was picking pig grass, not fooling around with men."
"Who is it?" Jiang Xiaohui rummaged through the bamboo basket and put a big piece of unity in the basket using the same action as taking a shoe.
Zhu Yinling's eyelids twitched, but she still said, "There is no man."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, and no one else will know about it." Jiang Xiaohui put another big unity into the bamboo basket.
Looking at the two new big unity pictures, Zhu Yinling's heartbeat quickened. She put her hands together, stared at the big unity, gritted her teeth and said, "Without a man, I would just be pulling pig grass."
"Aunt Zhu, I am a teacher now, and a teacher should act like a role model. If I say I won't tell others, I won't tell them."
Jiang Xiaohui put another big unity into the bamboo basket.
Without waiting for Zhu Yinling to speak, he continued, "That's all. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I will know it sooner or later."
After waiting for five seconds, Jiang Xiaohui saw that Zhu Yinling didn't say anything, so he reached out to take the three Great Unity tickets.
"I say!"
Zhu Yinling sandwiched the three big unity bills between her shoes and held them tightly in her hand.
Then he pushed another shoe sample in front of Jiang Xiaohui, "Qi Futian!"
Jiang Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and walked away with the shoe sample.
"Teacher Jiang, go back and tell Qingmei that she can come back anytime to get any more shoe samples she wants."
Zhu Yinling chased to the door and shouted to Jiang Xiaohui's back with a smile.
"It seems that Teacher Jiang has a good relationship with Qing Meiwa and even runs errands for her."
"This is before marriage. Men are two-faced. When they don't get what they want, they do whatever they want. But after marriage, they become a different person. They may look good before marriage, but who knows what they will be like in the future."
"That's right, my damned son was so nice to me before we got married, but now, huh... I wish I could strangle him to death in the middle of the night while he's asleep."
Several women laughed together.
Zhu Yinling also smiled and went into the house to put the money away.
…
Qi Futian had been drinking to drown his sorrows these past few days. He fell asleep with a hangover every night, and when he woke up the next day, he would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some wine and peanuts. After returning, he would continue to live a life of drunkenness.
It was already afternoon when he woke up. He washed his face and staggered to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wine and peanuts.
It was almost dark when he came back. When he was almost at the door of his house, he tripped over a stone and almost fell.
A pair of strong arms pulled him back in time.
He turned his head to look at the person who came, and was stunned, "Teacher Jiang?"
"Uncle Qi, what's wrong with you? You reek of alcohol?" Jiang Xiaohui supported Qi Futian, let go of him and asked.
Qi Futian looked dejected and said dejectedly, "A person like me who has no wife and no children should have died long ago, but the King of Hell won't take me away!"
"Uncle Qi, please stop talking like that. You have to live well no matter what."
Qi Futian looked at Jiang Xiaohui and smiled, "You are right. No matter what, I must live well, because..."
For some reason, Qi Futian didn't say anything else.
He walked to the door of his house in a disorderly manner, took out his key and opened it.
Jiang Xiaohui followed behind him, "Uncle Qi, drinking alone is boring, let me drink with you."
"Okay!" Qi Futian said with a smile.
When the two men entered the room and saw the people sitting in the room, they were stunned.
