Seeing that no one was at home, Zhou Xiuying dropped the work in her hands and quickly ran back to the old couple's room.
Her son bought so many treasures that she was worried about burying them no matter where they were. She would only feel at ease if they were buried under her nose.
She got down to work right away. She moved the wooden cabinet full of grain away and went outside to get a hoe.
There was no safer place than their room, so she spat on her hands and started digging.
The space was too small and she couldn't move freely.
Straightening up, he sighed, "Oh my god, this mud is so hard."
It took her a while to dig out a small hole.
The soil in the house was very dry and her arms were sore from digging.
Took a break and drank some water.
When Chen Jiaojiao didn't see her sister come home, she ran home to look for her.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Mom, mom, why are you leaving the door open? Where's my eldest brother? Isn't he home?"
Zhou Xiuying wiped her sweat and replied, "I don't know, maybe he went out to play!"
Chen Jiaojiao asked again: "What about my sister? Did they go out together?"
Zhou Xiuying was a little impatient, "What are you yelling about! Can't they just go out and play together?"
"When you leave the house, don't tell anyone else about this. If you're not going to cut grass for the pigs today, go dig some wild vegetables."
She rambled on, "Other families are now drying wild vegetables. If you have nothing to do, go dig some up and bring them back. I'll start pickling them when I'm free."
Chen Jiaojiao was still holding Siyan in her arms. When talking about picking wild vegetables, she wanted to hold Siyan and show it to her friends.
I happily agreed: "Hey, I'll go right away."
Zhou Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her daughter run out, and continued digging the ground.
At this time, Chen Defu also came back and called his wife loudly in the yard.
"Xiuying, Xiuying!"
Hearing her man coming back, Zhou Xiuying opened the door a crack.
"Dad, I'm here, come here."
Seeing his daughter-in-law being so mysterious, Chen Defu saw through her little thoughts and quickly closed the door and went back to the house.
He hadn't looked at those things carefully, and now that the children were not at home, he had to take a closer look.
Chen Jianguo brought Jiang Baige to his secret base. There was a small cave halfway up the mountain behind.
He discovered this by accident, it was very secret and only he knew about it.
To get into this cave, you have to go through a small path covered with weeds at the bottom of the cliff.
Chen Jianguo was afraid that Jiang Baige would fall, so he held her hand tightly with one hand and felt the way forward with the other.
Jiang Baige was not as fragile as he imagined. She followed him closely all the way. Only when they got into the cave did Jiang Baige see the situation clearly.
This cave is several square meters in size and is very clean inside. The sunlight shines through clearly.
There are a lot of weeds on the ground, and it's obvious that no one has been here for a long time.
Chen Jianguo said, "Wait here and check if there are any snakes or anything else here."
He hadn't been here for a long time and didn't know if any reptiles had come in.
There was a big rock at the entrance of the cave where people could sit. Jiang Baige was a little tired after walking all the way, so she wanted to sit for a while.
Seeing Chen Jianguo looking around, Jiang Baige asked jokingly.
When you dated girls in the past, did you bring them here?
When Chen Jianguo heard this, he said angrily: "What are you thinking! I'm not that kind of person."
"Aside from you, I've never even held a little girl's hand."
Seeing how serious he was, Jiang Baige chuckled and stopped teasing him.
Men are like this, you can't joke with them like this.
If she arouses other people's sexual desire, she will be the one who suffers.
He turned around and looked at the village at the foot of the mountain. Chenjia Village at the foot of the mountain was in sight, and the figures walking in the village could be seen clearly from here.
After checking everything clearly, Chen Jianguo sat next to Jiang Baige and stared in the direction she was looking.
Chen Jianguo said to her, "It's beautiful here, isn't it? I feel inexplicably relaxed here."
"When I had nothing to do before, I would come here and sit for a while."
Jiang Baige thinks this place is pretty good. If she had a camera to take pictures, the scenery would definitely be beautiful.
I saw several children at the foot of the mountain, and the one in front was obviously Chen Jiaojiao.
Jiang Baige wanted to say hello happily, but unexpectedly her mouth was covered by Chen Jianguo.
She complained, "Don't call them, I just want to be alone with you for a while."
He covered Jiang Baige's mouth and his ears turned red.
He blushed when he felt such soft lips. He had kissed them just two days ago and they felt so soft.
Jiang Baige's mouth was covered by his big hand. Seeing that he didn't take it away, Jiang Baige gently bit his hand.
Feeling tingling on his hand, Chen Jianguo withdrew his hand in panic.
He quickly explained, "I didn't mean to do that. I just didn't want them to disturb my peace and quiet."
Jiang Baige pulled up the hand she had just bitten, wiped the saliva off it, and rubbed it gently.
"I'm not angry, I'm just joking with you!"
Chen Jianguo's heart felt like it was filled with cotton, soft and happy.
Her ears were red, and she would occasionally steal a glance at Jiang Baige who was sitting quietly.
He didn't dare look at the girl in front of him for too long, for fear that he would lose control of himself and bully the girl.
After talking for a while in the cave, it started to drizzle.
Jiang Baige said, "Let's go home! If the rain gets heavy, it will be inconvenient to go down the mountain."
Although Chen Jianguo was reluctant, he had no choice but to go home.
Three days later, it was the wedding of Chen Erlaizi and Zhang Yan, and two people from every family in the village went to help.
In that era, each family did not have much food, and not many people would bring their families to a banquet.
Two representatives from the educated youth compound also went, Zhang Hongyang and Li Yan, to present gifts on behalf of the educated youth.
Everyone pooled their money together and came up with five dollars.
Others gave gifts at banquets, ranging from fifty cents to one dollar, but the educated youth gave five dollars, which was already the only one they had.
No one from Zhang Yan's family came to see her off on her wedding day, so the educated youth gave her gifts, which they considered to be from her family.
Jiang Baige and her friends did not go. It was only when Wu Juan and her sister came to talk to Jiang Baige that they told her that no one from Zhang Yan's family came. She looked very unhappy at the wedding and her eyes were swollen from crying.
When they talked about Zhang Yan, Wu Juan also looked worried the whole time.
Jiang Baige glanced at Wu Juan calmly. She thought, she must be thinking about her and Chen Wang.
Wu Lili was still talking excitedly, "Comrade Jiang, what do you think of that Zhang Yan? Does Chen Erlaizi have any money? He doesn't have any looks either, and he's so old. If he walked past me one day, the smell on his body would be terrible."
Jiang Baige shook her head, "She really doesn't understand this."
I thought, maybe the two of them are quite harmonious in that aspect and can satisfy each other.
