"You can keep it to drink..."
Qin Huai wanted to refuse, but Qiao Qiqi held his hand down. "I saw they sell popsicles. I'll just buy one to eat later."
Hearing her say that, Qin Huai finally let go of her hand. "Okay, then be careful in the car. I'll be going now."
"Yes, you be careful too."
After watching Qin Huai ride away, Qiao Qiqi got into her car.
There are still 30 minutes before departure, but I need to sit down early in order to get a seat.
It was past three o'clock when we got back to town.
Qiao Qiqi was about to ask the people who were riding with her to help her unload the sewing machine when she saw Qin Huai standing by the roadside waiting as soon as the car stopped.
Seeing that he had ridden the bike back so quickly, Qiao Qiqi was surprised and couldn't help but open the car door. After he got on, she said to him, "You're so fast!"
Qin Huai glanced at her, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
At first, Qiao Qiqi didn't understand, but when she saw him pick up the sewing machine, turn around, and get off the car, she realized that her words also had another meaning...
Seeing that this man seemed quite proper on the surface, yet his thoughts were so impure, a smile quickly flashed across her eyes.
Qin Huai carried the sewing machine directly onto the bus back to the village. After settling Qiao Qiqi in, he said goodbye to her again and rode his bicycle back first.
"Ride slowly." Qiao Qiqi opened the car window and called out. The man turned around and glanced at her before quickly riding away.
This time, Qiao Qiqi waited in the car for about half an hour before the bus departed.
Qin Huai arrived home early, and before Qiao Qiqi returned, he had already sent the bicycle home and borrowed a donkey cart from Zhang Qing's house. He was waiting at the village entrance early in the morning.
When the bus arrived at the station, Qin Huai still got on the bus first, unloaded the sewing machine, put it on the side of the road, and immediately turned back to help Qiao Qiqi carry her things.
Seeing this, a villager from the same village immediately laughed and said, "Newlyweds are really different. Look how much Qin Huai dotes on his wife! Qiao family girl, you'll be living a life of endless happiness after you marry Qin Huai!"
Qiao Qiqi smiled slightly and was about to reply when Qin Huai suddenly turned around and said first, "It is my blessing to marry her."
!
Qiao Qiqi was stunned and looked over in surprise.
The man's expression became slightly unnatural, and he immediately went to pack his things.
The villagers laughed uncontrollably at the sight. "Oh my, Qiao girl, did you hear that? Qin Huai said marrying you is his good fortune."
These words carried a slightly sarcastic tone.
Everyone in the village knows that Qiao Qiqi never works in the fields and is spoiled rotten by the Qiao team leader and his wife. If you marry such a lazy wife, you'll have to treat her like royalty.
These days, ever since the news of Qiao Qiqi and Qin Huai getting their marriage certificate came out, the villagers have been talking about it a lot.
Everyone says the Qin family must have had terrible luck for eight generations to marry Qiao Qiqi, such a lazy wife.
Qin Baojun and Wang Guihua had worked hard their whole lives, raising this child they brought back from the battlefield. They had finally enjoyed two years of happiness, but now things were really going to turn around. They'd married such a lazy and demanding wife; they were in for a lot of trouble.
!
But now that the two have been married for half a month, the Qin family has not only remained silent, but they have also been criticized by Wang Guihua and Qin Huai when the villagers deliberately tease them. The villagers all feel that this family has masochistic tendencies.
Now, hearing Qin Huai say such absurd things, they not only didn't think it was good, but also assumed that it was because they hadn't been married long enough, and that he would definitely say something different in the long run.
The two villagers snorted and were about to leave.
Just then, another villager suddenly noticed the sewing machine by the roadside. "Qin Huai, did you buy this sewing machine? Is it for your mother? I remember your mother doesn't know how to use this thing. She asked me to sew a shirt for her a couple of years ago."
Qin Huai looked up, about to speak, but Qiao Qiqi interrupted, "I bought this for my mother."
Upon hearing this, the villagers frowned immediately. Their gaze swept over Qin Huai, and seeing that he remained silent, they realized that the sewing machine really was bought for Lin Chunying. Their expressions instantly became meaningful.
"So it was bought for Lin Chunying..."
Just a moment ago I thought the Qin family was just honest, but now I really think they might have something wrong with their brains.
It's bad enough that he married a wife who can't do anything and brought her home to be treated like royalty, but instead of spending the money he worked so hard to earn in the fields on his own parents, he bought a sewing machine for his mother-in-law!
That's a sewing machine!
It will cost at least 150 yuan!
A man has to work hard in the fields for half a year to earn work points, and this spendthrift wife bought him a sewing machine!
Oh my god!
Qin Huai glanced at Qiao Qiqi, moved his lips, and seemed about to say something.
But Qiao Qiqi suddenly looked at him, "Qin Huai, let's take the sewing machine back to my mother first! Let's go!"
Their eyes met.
Qin Huai understood what she meant, got into the car, and drove off on the way.
Even from a distance, you could still hear the villagers behind you saying, "That Qiao Qiqi, Qin Huai is incredibly unlucky to have married her! I heard she's been going to town almost every day since the wedding, how much money must that have cost?"
"That's right. Qin Baojun broke his leg on the battlefield and couldn't work to earn work points anymore. The Qin family relied entirely on Wang Guihua, a single woman, to work hard. I'm afraid that all the wealth they've accumulated over the years has been squandered by that spendthrift woman, Qiao Qiqi."
The two became increasingly angry as they talked.
One of them suddenly said, "No, I have to go to the Qin family and tell Wang Guihua about this. We can't let her stay in the dark and be treated like a slave by the Qiao family."
Because of the distance, Qiao Qiqi and Qin Huai did not hear the last sentence.
Throughout the journey, Qin Huai glanced in Qiao Qiqi's direction more than once, repeatedly seeming to want to say something but then stopping himself.
Qiao Qiqi initially intended to pretend she hadn't seen it, but then another villager suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing a sewing machine in the car, he exclaimed in surprise, "Qin Huai, is this the sewing machine you bought? Does your wife know how to use it?"
Before Qin Huai could speak, Qiao Qiqi quickly said, "I don't know how to use it, but my mother does. The sewing machine was bought for my mother."
The villagers were taken aback.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Lin Chunying?"
Qiao Qiqi nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
The villagers were stunned again, and subconsciously looked at Qin Huai. Seeing that Qin Huai did not say a word, their eyes instantly became very complicated.
After the donkey cart passed by.
The villager looked back at the two people sitting in the car and shook his head helplessly, "It's true what they say, everyone has their own fate..."
Qin Huai heard it.
As if she had finally made up her mind, she turned to Qiao Qiqi and said, "How about we don't go to Mom and Dad's house? Let's take the sewing machine home first, and then I'll secretly deliver it to them when it gets dark tonight."
