If you ask where he was wrong, Fan Yanxing certainly didn't want to admit it, so he blocked Liang Qingqing's next words with his lips, and told her what he was wrong with his body.
It wasn't until the water cooled that the two of them finally stopped this absurdity.
Liang Qingqing pinched her sore hands, her eyes were full of red, she bit her lower lip and sat on the chair. She raised her foot and kicked Fan Yanxing's butt in annoyance. The satisfied man chuckled and even had the mood to pat her calf.
"I'll get some hot water."
The hoarse and low voice rose slightly at the end, which reminded her of the time when this man deliberately whispered her name in her ear. She swallowed her saliva and looked up at him. She saw that he was slowly putting on his pants. His broad shoulders, narrow waist and hips were not completely calm. He held his head high and declared his presence. Seeing this,
the blush on Liang Qingqing's cheeks deepened a little. She felt her palms begin to heat up again. She suddenly retracted her feet and curled up into a ball, asking him to go and come back quickly.
Fan Yanxing rubbed her hair twice before opening the door and walking out. He moved quickly, and the hot water quickly filled the wooden bucket again. What happened next was a scene that Liang Qingqing didn't want to mention again in the short term.
It was not until a long time later, after she had gradually gotten used to it, that she could praise him expressionlessly for his good service skills. Even bathing someone could be quickly transformed from unfamiliar to proficient, which made her willing to accept this kind of...
in Fan Yanxing's words, it was a "little interest" between husband and wife.
The night was long, the aroma of wine was rampant, the wind blew through the leaves, making a faint rustling sound, and everything slowly fell into a deep sleep.
For several days in a row, the main hall of the Liang family was never empty. Everyone wanted to join in the fun. At first, Ma Xiuzhi was full of energy and enthusiastic to entertain them, but later on, she became more and more powerless. These people blocked her here, so she couldn't do anything else. Repeating the same words every day was simply a waste of time.
So later, Ma Xiuzhi took Liang Qingqing and hid together, leaving Liang Xueyong to deal with it alone. He was a bad talker, and you could sit with him for a long time without hearing a single word. What was the point of performing a one-man show in someone else's house? Gradually, everyone stopped asking for trouble.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Liang Qingqing went to the county to report. The whole family was like facing a formidable enemy, but she, the person involved, was unusually calm, as if she was not nervous at all about the upcoming half-month long training.
But in fact, Liang Qingqing was particularly irritable at this time, because she had to fulfill her promise to Fan Yanxing that night.
"Pack a few more sets of clothes so you don't have to change them."
"Also prepare some food. Last time, your aunt brought a piece of bacon. Cut it into pieces and stir-fry it with chili peppers. It's delicious and goes well with rice. Put it in a jar and it can be kept for a few more days."
Ma Xiuzhi and Wang Xiaomei were discussing heatedly. Everyone sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. As they were talking, Ma Xiuzhi was about to go to the kitchen to wash the bacon.
Fan Yanxing gave Liang Qingqing a look without leaving a trace, which seemed to be an invisible urging. The latter's heart suddenly jumped and he opened his mouth to call Ma Xiuzhi, "Mom!"
"What's wrong?" Ma Xiuzhi stopped and looked at Liang Qingqing with a puzzled look on her face.
Liang Qingqing cleared his throat, scanned everyone present, mustered up the courage to walk to Fan Yanxing, took out the draft he had prepared long ago, closed his eyes and said, "I have something to tell you. Fan Yanxing and I are talking about someone."
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.
Except for Liang Junqiang and Wang Xiaomei, who had already guessed the inside story and were only slightly surprised, everyone else widened their eyes, stood up from their chairs, and looked at the two of them in disbelief.
"What!"
"When did it happen? How come we don't know about it?"
Ma Xiuzhi's eyes went dark, and it took a long time for her to recover. Sure enough, the last guess was not an illusion at all. There was really something going on between the two of them, and they even talked about someone!
"Yesterday Fan Yanxing confessed to me and I agreed. I just took this opportunity to tell everyone today." Liang Qingqing smiled slightly and lied calmly. This was the statement they had agreed on.
Without saying anything else, at least it could reduce some of the anger of Ma Xiuzhi and the others who were kept in the dark.
"Uncle and aunt, I made the decision to be with Qingqing after careful consideration. I like her, not just verbally, but I want to grow old with her."
Fan Yanxing had already stood up and stood side by side with Liang Qingqing. They were really a perfect match. When he said this, he tilted his head and looked at her affectionately, the light in his eyes was unprecedentedly gentle.
Liang Qingqing smiled shyly at the right time. Her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. Her fingertips grasped the corner of her clothes. She was inexplicably excited and nervous. She took a deep breath and didn't understand what was wrong with her. Why did her emotions fluctuate so much because of Fan Yanxing's sweet words?
Rarely, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Without waiting for her to think it through, he continued, "I know that I am just an educated youth now, and my family is thousands of miles away. There are many unstable factors. You don't know much about my family situation, and you must have various concerns. I understand all of this, so I want to take this opportunity to make it clear to you and express my determination to marry Qingqing."
Fan Yanxing's face was full of seriousness and humility. Liang Qingqing, who was standing next to him, could clearly feel the stiffness in him. It was at this time that she realized that he was far from being as confident as he usually showed.
It turned out that he was also afraid that her parents would not agree and would stop him.
Moreover, when they first went public with their relationship, he wanted to solve all the problems at once, and put all his family and future plans on the table without reservation, which indirectly dispelled the Liang family's concerns.
With such frankness and the daughter's own willingness, which parent would be so cruel as to shake their heads?
Fan Yanxing is smart and sincere, no wonder such a person will rise to such a high position in the future, and can fight for a splendid future that others can only encounter but not seek on different paths.
Hearing this, Liang Xueyong had not recovered from the shock yet. He looked at Fan Yanxing, then at Liang Qingqing, and finally cast his eyes to Ma Xiuzhi for help. His wife has always been the one who makes the decisions in this family, and now such a big thing, naturally, she can only express her opinion.
Ma Xiuzhi noticed it almost the moment Liang Xueyong looked over. She cursed him in her heart for being useless. Then she took a deep breath and glared at her precious daughter for the first time. She was really mad that this girl had just started a relationship with someone without even consulting her.
Although Fan Yanxing had a good attitude and was a boy she liked, he had quietly kidnapped her daughter, and he was a foreigner. Whether he would return to the city in the future or take Qingqing with him was unknown. She really didn't want to give him a good look.
But at the same time...
Ma Xiuzhi rolled her eyes and looked at the tall and straight Fan Yanxing. She was very curious about what kind of family could raise such a polite and capable young man, and what kind of determination he was talking about.
So, after a moment of silence, she cleared her throat, put her hands on her waist to make herself look more imposing, and said, "Then tell me."
This was to give him a chance.
Fan Yanxing breathed a sigh of relief, "My family is relatively simple. My parents are still alive, and I have an older sister who is three years older than me. We have a pretty good relationship."
"My father works in the Finance Bureau, my mother works in the Education Bureau, my sister is a surgeon in the military hospital, and my brother-in-law is a soldier. They have a pair of twins, a daughter who is four years old this year. There are too many other relatives, and I can't talk about them all right now. I'll get to know them slowly later."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the yard. Such a family is called "simple"? It's obviously not simple!
The whole family is capable people who eat the government's food, and they are in a capital city like Beijing. Ma Xiuzhi just felt like she couldn't breathe smoothly.
Even Liang Qingqing, who had known about it for a long time, couldn't help but gasp, because she knew that Fan Yanxing hadn't told her the specific job title yet. If he did, Ma Xiuzhi and the others would probably be scared to death. After all, they had lived cautiously in the mountains for most of their lives, and never thought that one day they would meet a big man who would be recorded in history and appear in newspapers.
"Then why did you come here as an educated youth?" Ma Xiuzhi pursed her dry lips, her face full of confusion.
According to Fan Yanxing's family background, let alone going to the countryside, it would be easy for him to get a job in any department. Even if he wanted to go to the countryside, he wouldn't have come to their poor mountain valley with his connections.
What Ma Xiuzhi could think of, others could naturally think of as well. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Fan Yanxing. Did he lie to his family? Or was there something else going on?
"Because I want to be an official in the future and really make achievements for the country and the people, it would be more practical to work my way up from the grassroots level." Fan Yanxing told the truth, and this was very straightforward. Everyone was silent, and details that had been overlooked in the past emerged in their minds.
Indeed, everyone could see the relationship between Fan Yanxing and the village party secretary. Even the leaders in the commune praised him highly. He was often praised in public at the village meetings.
The village did not have electricity before, and it was Fan Yanxing and the village party secretary who ran around to make it happen.
When cracks appeared in the reservoir dam, Fan Yanxing took it seriously and asked the relevant departments in the county to come and repair it.
...
He seemed to be present in every matter, big or small, in the village.
"So after staying here for a while, I will return to Beijing."
His goal has never been to stay in the countryside for a long time. He wants to stay in a more important position and have real power to do better.
"Then you go back to Beijing, what about Qingqing?" Ma Xiuzhi came back to her senses and immediately grasped the most important point, which was also the point she cared about and feared the most.
In the future, Fan Yanxing will return to the city, leaving Qingqing alone in the village. They won't see each other for a long time. What's the difference between her and a widow!
Ma Xiuzhi will never allow such a thing to happen.
"Qingqing will go back with me then. I will not let us be separated. I can still do this." Fan Yanxing raised his voice, and every word was loud. "Qingqing and I love each other, and I will not let her suffer any grievances."
"I want to talk for a while first, and then get married after I have settled the house issue."
Ma Xiuzhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this promise, but her brows were still furrowed, because she knew very well that a man's verbal promise was no different from a piece of white paper, and it was even less valuable than a piece of white paper. There
are so many men who regret their words and betray girls, and they are really not credible, even if that person is Fan Yanxing.
At this time, Liang Qingqing walked to her side, took her arm, covered her ears with her hands, and whispered quietly: "Mom, when Fan Yanxing was pursuing me, he gave me all his belongings."
"During this period, the food at home was not bought by Fan Yanxing, but by me."
Ma Xiuzhi's pupils dilated, and she quickly glanced at Liang Qingqing. Seeing her nod, she relaxed her frown, but soon frowned again.
This girl is really shameless. Although the other party said that the money was given to her, she took it and spent it as she said, and gave it to their whole family. She spent money like water and didn't know how to save money.
Not only did she not feel embarrassed at all, but she looked very righteous.
