Her roommates advised her that girls should be reserved, especially in front of their suitors. If they agreed too quickly, they would become worthless. They all asked her to keep Jiang He hanging for a while.
After considering it for two days, Mu Ruanruan couldn't wait to agree.
Zheng Meili kept scolding her for being useless.
School had already started for a week, and if Jiang He didn't go, he was afraid he would be expelled. The night he left, he pushed her into a corner, bit her lip, and whispered, "Wait for me, Ruan Ruan. You are not allowed to look at other men, and you are not allowed to talk to other men on the phone."
She laughed at him: "Can't my brother do that too?"
Jiang He felt unhappy seeing her being too close to her brothers.
Jiang He really wanted to say yes, but in the end he said nothing and bit her for a long time as a punishment.
"I'll come see you when I have time." He said breathlessly.
He bit her earlobe again, hugged her tight, and whispered, "You can come to me too."
Mu Ruanruan felt like she was flying with happiness. The two of them spent every chance they had together. Although they tried their best to hide it, they were still discovered by Ruan Erning who was also in Kyoto.
She asked her second brother to help keep it a secret. Her second brother was very angry and wanted to fight but couldn't win. He was so angry that he kept making trouble for Jiang He for several months.
Another person who knew the situation was Qi Hui. He just smiled slightly and said a blessing.
The two of them had not been in contact for some time. Mu Ruanruan only had Jiang He in her heart, and she could also feel that he only had her in his heart.
Uncle Peng wrote several times, saying that he missed Mu Ruanruan.
During the National Day holiday, Mu Ruanruan lied and said she was going on a study tour. She did not go home and followed Jiang He back to Shangshui Village.
There have been great changes there. The school has been expanded, there is a cafeteria, and an orphanage has been built. There are about twenty children in it, the oldest is eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is less than one year old.
Mu Ruanruan brought them a lot of food and daily necessities for study and also left some money.
Liao Xiaohong left and followed Damao back to her hometown. She left her a letter, saying that she was living a good life and also gave her address for her to write back.
The village has also changed. Every household has a household contract responsibility system and no longer has to work in a collective. Every household has surplus grain in their rice jar.
Jiang Lan raised a few piglets and married Zhu Ying.
Jiang He went to talk to Jiang Lan, and Mu Ruanruan went to Uncle Peng's house.
Grandpa is living a much better life now, but grandma is not in good health and her eyesight is starting to blur with age.
Mu Ruanruan gave them a lot of health-care products for strengthening the body, which she bought from the space medicine warehouse. They can slow down the aging of organs, hoping that the elderly can live a better life in their later years.
Aunt Peng held her hand and talked about the happy days over the years, her eyes full of smiles. She was even happier when she talked about her daughter Yuemei and son-in-law.
"Your grandfather and I are old. Thanks to the care of the villagers over the past few years, I didn't expect to see you before I leave. Ruan Ruan, how are you and Jiang He doing?"
Mu Ruan nodded with a blushing face, "Auntie, we are fine."
"That's good. This child may appear cold on the outside, but he's actually warm-hearted. He has you in his heart, and I can see it. You two should live well. Your uncle and I don't have anything to leave you, so we'll leave this piece of land to you."
The old lady remembered that when Mu Ruanruan was still an educated youth here, she said that she wanted to build her own house, but the educated youth had no place.
Now that they are going to live with their daughter, they are going to pass this house on to Mu Ruanruan.
Mu Ruanruan refused, but the old couple insisted on taking her to the village to handle the paperwork.
"Take it. We won't be coming back, and this isn't a great place, but at least we have a piece of land. Ruan Ruan, you can build the house you want here. Jiang He is nice, but a girl should have a place of her own."
It is so rare for a rural woman who has never left the country in her life to have such insights.
Now that the bus service is available and runs once a day, it is much more convenient to go into the city.
Mu Ruanruan sent the two elders and Yuemei and her husband onto the bus, and secretly stuffed 10,000 yuan into the old lady's bag, as compensation for not having the land.
"Don't be sad, they will live a better life with Yuemei." Jiang He put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, but his eyes were actually red too.
During those years, it was more accurate to say that Jiang He and Uncle Peng were redeeming each other rather than helping him. Uncle Peng never looked down on him because of his family background.
"Let's go."
The educated youth dormitory has now been converted to other uses. Mu Ruanruan has been living in Grandpa Peng's house these days. Now that the grandpa and grandma are gone, Mu Ruanruan cleaned up the house and still wants to live here.
Jiang He disagreed, saying it was unsafe for a girl.
In the end, she went to Jiang Lan's house and stayed for one night.
Jiang Lan's legs are still the same, but Zhu Ying took good care of them and they haven't recurred. All her previous illnesses have also been cured by Zhu Ying.
But Jiang Lan still refused to treat his leg.
"If you change your mind, you can write to me anytime." Mu Ruanruan still said the same thing. This was something she had promised, and she would not go back on her word.
After arriving in Luozhou, Jiang He stayed at Mu Ruanruan's school for another day.
"You keep skipping classes like this, aren't you afraid of failing?" The two of them snuggled by the lake watching the sunset. Mu Ruanruan leaned on his chest and looked up at him.
Jiang He has become much whiter, but his facial features are still delicate and profound. When he is not smiling, he has a cold and aloof feeling. Under the golden light of the setting sun, he is coated with a layer of gentleness, a gentleness that belongs only to Mu Ruanruan.
"I skipped a grade."
"You're someone who skips classes every other day, and you're still expected to skip a grade."
"Well, it's because your boyfriend has such an IQ."
Mu Ruanruan sat up a little, pinched his cheek, and then stretched out her index finger to touch his Adam's apple. She liked to play with his Adam's apple, and the up and down movement was very interesting.
"Ruan Ruan."
He held her hand, his thick eyelashes fluttering, casting a shadow on his face.
He always knew that Mu Ruanruan was good-looking, with fair skin without a single blemish, just like the milk she let him drink every day, which felt smooth and delicate. Her grape-like eyes were clear and clean when looking at him, but seemed to be covered with mist when he kissed them, wet and full of indescribable temptation.
Her waist was so thin that it could not be grasped with one hand, and so soft that he was reluctant to use force, but he could not control himself. He wanted to hold her tightly in his arms and bully her severely.
But no, there is still a year and a half left.
Jiang He studied very hard. He went to college two years later than Mu Ruanruan. He was afraid of making her wait too long.
He completed two years' worth of courses in one year, and found someone to transfer him to a higher grade. If he worked harder, he would be able to graduate with her.
At that time...
"I want to marry you." He bit her earlobe and breathed softly in her ear.
She was intoxicated by his scent and leaned lazily against his chest, hugged his neck, looked at the setting sun and the sky full of rosy clouds, her heart filled with happiness.
"Jiang He, I'm waiting for you to marry me."
