I don’t know if it was because I felt guilty or because I was frightened by his eyes.
The thing Mu Ruanruan was holding in her arms fell to the ground.
Seeing her like this, Jiang He turned around and turned on the light.
Mu Ruanruan felt relieved that he didn't kick her out immediately. This was the first time they met in private since that night.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. Although his words were not polite, his tone was still gentle.
Mu Ruanruan followed Jiang He into the room and closed the door behind her.
Jiang He looked at the closed door, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he lowered his eyes to hide it, and didn't say anything in the end.
"I've come to bring you something."
"Are you here to deliver something to me?" Jiang He suddenly looked up with a look of surprise, emphasizing the word "I".
Mu Ruanruan was also a little nervous at this time. It was the first time for her to give gifts to a man to please him. She learned it from those bad friends.
They often say that if you want to please a woman, you should give her gifts as much as you can and win her heart with material things.
Although the purposes and genders are different, Mu Ruanruan thinks that since they are all human beings, the effects may be different, but the difference should not be too big.
She lowered her head to pick up something, not noticing Jiang He's expression or the details of his words, her mind completely focused on the things in her bag.
"It's just a little bit. Take it for now. I'll get you some more in a few days."
She first stuffed all the sweet potatoes into his hands, then opened the canvas bag, took out a pound of meat and put it on the table. The oil soaked the paper.
There are also three apples and four oranges.
She thought that was all, but she saw something else in the bag, so she dug in again and pulled out another bag.
"brown sugar?"
Jiang He kept watching her take out things and put them out one by one.
He was already very surprised when he took out the meat and fruit, but he didn't expect that there was also brown sugar.
She was sneaky and inexplicably gave things to a grown man, and she gave him brown sugar?
Jiang He's mind was in a mess at this point. He knew that she wanted to cut off ties with him, and he had no intention of pestering her.
But today she actually came to deliver something to her after dark, and she looked very sneaky.
He didn't know why she thought of sending him something, especially meat. What he couldn't understand even more was that she also sent him brown sugar, just like she was in confinement after childbirth.
Confinement period?
Could she be...
He thought again of that night when she had mentioned compensation countless times.
turn out to be......
"I don't want it, you can take it back." Jiang He pressed his forehead, saying with seven parts anger and three parts helplessness.
This little girl's train of thought was so unusual that Jiang He felt he couldn't understand it.
She took the compensation seriously.
In this kind of situation, he shouldn't be the one who suffers.
Mu Ruanruan was also a little dumbfounded when she looked at the bag of brown sugar. When was it put in there? How come she didn't know?
But since I had already taken it out, it was difficult to put it back, so I just put it on the table.
Before coming here, she had thought that he might refuse, and even imagined his many more intense reactions. His calmness at this moment was beyond her expectations.
She never takes advantage of others and always does what she says. Once she does something like that and says she will compensate, she will not allow the other party to refuse.
Although doing so is a bit unsightly, Mu Ruanruan has never taken face too seriously.
She pretended not to notice Jiang He's disdain, and continued to do her own thing and speak her own words:
"It's not much. I'll get you some next time. Meat spoils easily, and I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it all in one meal. You eat it first."
This amount of meat is over one pound. I'm afraid that everyone in this village can't eat so much meat in half a year, and the little girl still says it's not much.
Not to mention the fruits and brown sugar. If it weren't for the confinement period, who would spend money on these luxury goods?
"Take it back." Jiang He repeated it again, keeping his voice low so as not to scare her.
"There's no point in taking back something you've given away. Well, I'm leaving now."
Mu Ruanruan turned to leave, but Jiang He grabbed her arm.
Only then did she look up at Jiang He suspiciously.
His hair was a mess, as if he hadn't washed it for half a month, and it was messy like a chicken coop.
Noticing her gaze on him, Jiang He let go of Mu Ruanruan's hand and fiddled with his hair awkwardly.
"I don't want the things. You can take them back. You've already said that. Don't worry about it. You don't need to compensate me."
After a moment of silence, he whispered, "If you're talking about compensation, it should be me who should make the compensation, but you also saw the situation of my family..."
Very poor.
Jiang He looked at the girl in front of him who was half a head shorter than him, with a flushed face and shining eyes, and suddenly he felt ashamed.
Jiang He never thought there was anything wrong with being poor, but now, in front of the little girl in front of him, he was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
Jiang Lan couldn't work, and she had a child to pay for tuition, which wasn't expensive, but still cost three or four yuan a semester. Jiang He managed all of this with his own two hands, and he was doing his best.
In the past, no matter what others said or thought, he didn't care. He didn't know what was wrong with him that he actually cared about what this little girl thought.
He stubbornly refused to accept it, but she insisted on giving it to him.
"I'm leaving now. Remember to eat the food before it goes bad."
When Jiang He came to his senses, Mu Ruanruan had already run far away.
Jiang He wanted to chase her out, but she was no longer in sight. She had come here secretly. If he insisted on sending the things back and was seen by someone with ulterior motives, who knows what would be spread.
The little girl's reputation still needs to be protected.
