Reading and reading is a big project for Bai Xian.
No matter how tired he was, he would practice a hundred words every night and memorize them all.
He went to school with a vengeance and was able to read newspapers soon.
But these are too superficial for Gu Chen, who studied since childhood.
He had been inferior to his straw bag and inferior work, and now he was even more afraid to show off his shallowness.
After breakfast, he cut the firewood silently, cleaned the house again, cleaned the kitchen clean, and then took two buckets to carry water.
In the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River, there are almost no wells. The villagers draw water near the river, wash clothes, vegetables and toilets, and even pick them home. They are all from the same river.
Bai Xian was poor and cheap for most of his life. Naturally, he wouldn't think it was wrong.
The river is just behind Gu's house. It's not far away, and it doesn't need to pass through the village.
He has great strength. He carries two buckets of water as if he were carrying two handfuls of vegetables.
At the gate, I saw Gu Chen from a distance.
Gu Chen carried a big fish in his hand, which looked like more than ten kilograms.
She hung her head.
Bai Xian wanted to call her, but when she was at the gate, she raised her hand to wipe her tears and blinked hard.
His blood rushed into his head.
He wished he could hold her in the palm of his hand and put her on his head. How could he bear to be bullied by others?
"What's the matter?" He strode forward and interrupted Gu's plan to cover up the past.
Gu was stunned and turned around quickly.
Bai Xian wanted to pull her body over, but he didn't have the courage to start.
He carried the bucket in and let Gu in again.
Gu put the fish down and sighed.
"I'm fine. I just got something dirty in my eyes and it hurts all the time." Gu Chen whispered.
"You tell me." Bai Xian's face was not good. "It doesn't matter. Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of anyone."
Gu Zhen smiled bitterly: "it's really all right."
"If you don't say, I'll ask myself." Bai Xian turned to go.
He was really angry.
As soon as he saw her wipe her tears, his heart hurt like an ice pick.
"No!" Gu Chen stopped it.
Seeing that he didn't listen, she had to catch up and pull his sleeve.
I can't hold it.
Gu had no choice but to hug his waist in a hurry.
Bai Xian couldn't move at once.
He suddenly turned back, picked her up, wrapped her in his arms, his lips fell on the side of her neck and kissed her cool hair.
Gu Chen exclaimed.
When he picked her up, her feet were off the ground and she screamed with fear.
This call made Bai Xian sober up.
He slowly bent down and put her down. Like a child who had done something wrong, he didn't dare to look into her eyes. The whole person was frightened and frightened.
His desire for her was a burning fire, which always got out of control.
However, most of the time, he was very rational and felt that his mud was not worthy of the lake on the snow-white wall of her house.
He finally did what he had imagined for a long time today.
He was afraid that Gu Zhen would drive him away.
Gu's face was red, and she couldn't speak. What happened just now was in a flash, and she was a little confused.
"... you... You go and clean up the fish." She held it for a long time before she said such a sentence, and then she hurried back to her room.
Bai Xian hesitated.
He was thinking, do you want to follow him?
Is she shy or angry?
He paced nervously in place. It took him a long time to pick up the half dead fish on the ground, take it to the kitchen, open it and clean it up.
Gu Kun didn't stay much in the room. He changed a coarse cloth coat and came out.
Her face was a little red, but she didn't hide and looked at Bai Xian: "it's time to make lunch. Go back to your room first. You don't need two people."
Bai Xian answered.
Taking advantage of Gu's carelessness, he went out.
Gu Qian didn't make a fire yet. Seeing that he was gone, she wanted to shout at him, but she thought of the scene just now, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
"Let him go. Anyway, he doesn't know where to go." Gu Chen thought.
When she went to make a fire, she found that she had run out of matches.
She remembers there's more in the drawer in the guest room.
It happened that Bai Xian was away, so Gu Zhen went to the guest room to get it.
When she bent down to look in the drawer, she saw Bai Xian's box under the bed.
There will be mice or insects in the countryside. It's best to put the box on the table or in the cabinet.
When he came back from Shanghai that day, the trunk of the car brought a lot of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Bai Xian's box was put in the innermost part. Gu Kun didn't see it at that time.
Later I learned that he was ordered to stay for a few more days.
Gu Zhen hesitated and decided to take it out for him and put it in the cabinet.
She held it first, then lifted it, and found that the box was not locked.
She wanted to help lock it and noticed that his clothes were thrown about.
I can't stand the mess. I want to clean it up for her.
She opened the box, and sure enough, she saw him leave his clothes at random.
Take it up.
This time, she took a big jump.
Bai Xian deliberately let go of his clothes to cover the things in his box.
He took a box of money with him. In addition to cash, he also had gold bars. It was very heavy. Under the gold bar, there is a snow-white scarf, one corner of which is stained with something dark black.
Frightened, she hurriedly put back her clothes and stuffed the box under the bed.
She found the match and came out of the guest room, feeling particularly flustered.
She thought, "why did he bring so much money?"
Is it true that he was ordered to accompany Gu Chen, or did Zhang Xinmei let him hide in the countryside?
No wonder Gu Chen didn't urge him, so he didn't go.
From his performance these days, Gu is about to make it clear that he is interested in her and wants to be with her.
But now
At the beginning of the year, didn't he follow her impatiently every day? He seems to have deliberately avoided her those days. Then the mission ended, didn't he disappear completely?
If a man likes a woman, how can he disappear so completely?
Her face was a little pale.
The taste of being amorous, embarrassing and embarrassing.
Gu Lei buried himself in cooking.
Bai Xian went out for a walk. The people on the other side of the fish pond scattered and everyone went home to cook.
He knocked on the door of a family and scared them half to death. The male owner took out the rake and tried to beat him.
He wanted to explain, but the other party didn't understand Mandarin or his Shanghainese. And he couldn't understand the other party's dialect.
If he goes on like this, he will provoke gossip for Gu Qian.
Although Bai Xian felt unworthy, he still wanted to live in this village.
He went home.
Gu is still busy in the kitchen.
He walked in and stood behind her. He wanted to say something. Watching her busy in the fog, he felt very good at the moment.
He didn't say anything.
Gu Zhen was startled when he didn't watch out for him.
"What are you doing?" She asked, "get out, not here."
This sentence is very blunt.
He has known Gu Kun for some time. In his memory, she is always a soft girl. From character to speech, she rarely speaks seriously.
Now, it is indeed a very impatient remark. Bai Xian felt that her stench had smoked her. She was finally impatient and retreated silently.
