Online dating is subject to the real thing

Chapter 64

It was evening when we returned to the village.

From afar, I saw Xiaobao squatting in the open space in front of the house, scratching something on the ground with a branch in his hand.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiaobao put down the branch and ran over, "Sister, sister!"

"What are you doing?" Qi Ning glanced at the muddy ground, the "3" on it was painted like a snake.

"I'm writing!" Xiaobao replied that the notebooks my sister gave him were all used. One side was used up, and he used the reverse side. Now that the reverse side has been written, grandma asked him to write on the ground when he couldn't write.

Qi Ning thought that the notebook he saw last night had already been used, but luckily he took a few exercise books when he came back today.

"Come and sister teach you how to write." Qi Ning took Xiao Bao by the hand and led him into the room.

When he reached the door, Xiaobao stopped, subconsciously trying to rub his clothes with muddy hands, but stopped again, "Sister, I want to wash my hands, it's dirty."

In the past, he was used to having fun outside and being disheveled. Since my sister went out to school, she would pay extra attention to hygiene when she came back, and forcibly changed this bad habit.

It is said that if you pick up things with dirty hands, you will have diarrhea and worms if you eat them in your stomach. If your face is dirty and you don’t wash your face, those big sisters will hate him when they see him.

It was only then that Qi Ning noticed that his hands were also covered with mud.

There is a well in the yard. In the past, water was brought up from the well with a bucket filled with water. With the pressurized well entering every household, the water can be discharged with just one pressure, which is much more convenient to fetch water.

Qi Ning has seen pressurized water wells in the countryside. Even in the current countryside, it can be said that every household has a water tap, and few people use pressurized water wells.

Qi Ning grabbed the pole and pressed it up and down a few times, but no water came out, she wondered, "Is this broken?"

"You didn't add water." Chu Yunjing scooped up a ladle of water from the kitchen, and deftly poured the water into the pressurized well.

Chu Yunjing helped to press the water, one big and one small squatted beside them holding water to wash their hands.

Qi Ning just rushed into the water casually, the well water was too cold, and his hands turned red after a while.

"It's so cold." She shivered.

Xiaobao has long been used to the climate here, and he washed his hands carefully like a normal person, and said: "It's cold when the snow melts!"

Chu Yunjing laughed at her, "Children are more resistant to cold than you."

Qi Ning pursed his lips, looking unhappy, after a while, he got up and attacked suddenly.

She put her hand into Chu Yunjing's clothes to keep warm, and the down jacket was covered with a baby warmer, which was very warm.

"...Why don't you stretch it in your own clothes?" Chu Yunjing was half opened by the zipper of the down jacket she pulled, but this person still looked comfortable.

"I'm afraid of the cold!" She said confidently.

"..."

Qi Ning took out the new notebook from the bag, and Xiao Bao's eyes lit up when he saw it.

He has never used a new notebook, and his sister used the rest of him to write, and now he can't read a few words, and the numbers are still taught by sister intermittently every time he comes back.

Sitting on the ponytail, Qi Ning took a pen and said to Xiao Bao: "You can write any words, write for me."

Xiao Bao started to write while lying on the table, and just wrote a "1", Qi Ning corrected him.

"Sit up straight when writing, you will be short-sighted if you get so close, and the gesture of holding the pen is wrong."

Xiaobao looked at her with doubts in his big eyes: "What is myopia?"

"Myopia is the inability to see things clearly." Qi Ning frightened him, "It's like being half blind."

Sure enough, it scared people, Xiao Bao immediately sat up straight, "Oh, then I'm not so close..."

Qi Ning taught Xiaobao how to hold the pen, Chu Yunjing was busy going in and out, not knowing what she was doing, and she didn't care.

After a while, she came out of the kitchen with an old-fashioned thermos. The big red flowers printed on it were all peeled off, and it still had a sense of age.

With her hands exposed to the air, Qi Ning only felt that her hands were getting colder, and she didn't know if they were resistant to cold, but she actually felt that Xiaobao's hands were warmer than her own.

"Hold it." A fluffy mini hot water bottle suddenly appeared in front of her.

Qi Ning took it, felt the temperature above, and was overjoyed, "Hey, it's so warm!"

Chu Yunjing looked at her, shook her head and said with a smile, "Laughing like an idiot."

Glancing at Xiaobao who was seriously learning to write his own name, Qi Ning waved to Chu Yunjing and said mysteriously, "Come on, lower your head."

"Why?" Chu Yunjing bent down half-believingly, and as soon as she approached, Qi Ning wrapped her arms around her neck with one hand to prevent her from running away, and pinched her cheek with the other hand.

"Hiss—" It hurts a bit.

Qi Ning snorted coldly, "If you talk nonsense again, it will be more than pinching your face." After she finished speaking, she took a small bench from under the low table for her to sit on.

The two watched Xiaobao write down the crooked name stroke by stroke, and Chu Yunjing suddenly said, "Does Xiaobao want to go to school?"

People in the mountains can be self-sufficient as long as they are willing to plant vegetables in the field, but other daily expenses are essential.For example, to go to school, even if there is a national subsidy, you have to pay several hundred yuan a year.

It is even more expensive to go to the county for middle school.Therefore, many people in the mountains do not want their daughters to go to school. They think that girls will marry off in the future, and studying is useless.It's better to wait until the right age to find someone to marry, and the bride price can also supplement the family.

For young people with a labor force, hundreds of dollars can be earned even if they move bricks on the construction site for a few days.But in the mountains, some families can't afford 100 yuan, and there are quite a few of them.

Grandma Yu didn't have much money left after her son's funeral. At that time, Ah Ling almost dropped out of school and went to work. Now he is in school, but the family has never had any income.

Xiao Bao nodded, opened his mouth, seemed to have scruples about speaking, but hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Xiao Bao drooped the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Let sister learn..."

"why?"

"There is no money at home..."

The children of poor people have long been in charge of the family. Although Xiaobao is still young, he knows that the elder sister in front of him is here to help elder sister go to school.Grandma has no money to let her go to school. When he and Erhu grow up, they will go out to earn money, and he will support his elder sister and grandma.

Chu Yunjing smiled slightly, touched the child's head, and said softly: "When school starts next spring, Xiaobao will go to school, and the school will not charge money. Later, I will be admitted to university to earn money and bring grandma to live in the city."

"really?"

"real."

Qi Ning looked at the big and the young from the side, she felt that she knew enough about this best friend who grew up together, but now she found that what she knew seemed to be only part of it.

Gentle, kind, caring, good-looking and rich, almost gathering all the advantages in the world.

Why didn't she discover so many advantages before?

Qi Ning was still feeling emotional in his heart, looking at her side face, he felt more and more that she was a treasure, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile.

It's just that the smile didn't last long. When Xiaobao threw herself into Chu Yunjing's arms, the corner of her mouth froze, and then slowly withdrew it.

"..." She coughed dryly, stretched out her hand to pull Xiaobao out of Chu Yunjing's arms, and said to Xiaobao with a straight face, "Come to write."

How could Xiaobao know what she was thinking, so he started writing happily.

Grandma Yu came back with a basket in her hand, Chu Yunjing heard the voice and went to help her.

"Grandma, where have you been?"

"I went to get some pork back." Grandma Yu was cheerful and in a good mood.

Today, when she heard someone bought a piece of pork back, she took half a basket of eggs and some home-grown vegetables, and went over to ask if they could bring back some meat.

Grandma usually doesn't eat meat, and today she has customers, so she has the cheek to ask people to exchange things.

In the end, I got a piece of meat the size of a palm, and I was so happy.

When it was time for dinner, Grandma Yu wanted to cook a few dishes for the guests. Chu Yunjing really couldn't bear the old man's troubles, so she immediately recommended herself.After persuasion for a long time, he succeeded in taking over the dinner.

There were a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field. Chu Yunjing picked them and prepared them right away. She bent down and planed two potatoes, one white radish, one carrot, and a few green vegetables.

Qi Ning taught Xiaobao how to write in the living room, while Chu Yunjing was busy in the kitchen.Granny Yu had nothing to do, so she moved a chair and sat at the door watching the gradually darkening sky, listening to the voice full of life in her ears, her eyes were secretly red.

The left-behind elderly and children are used to loneliness, as long as someone can give them a little warmth, it is enough to never forget.

Chu Yunjing cooked three dishes and one soup, and she made good use of the palm-sized piece of meat, frying the fatty meat with oil to stir-fry vegetables.Cut the lean meat into slices and make potato fried meat, carrot fried meat, and white radish lean meat soup.

Every dish was stained with some meat, and Qi Ning didn't like carrots, so she specially made the portion of potato fried meat a little bigger, and then put the dish in front of her.

This meal is the most satisfying meal Qi Ning has eaten since he came here. The dishes are all familiar flavors. The three meals and one snack are full, and there is nothing left.

After eating, Xiao Bao took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Qi Ning touched his belly and hiccupped.

It was already dark outside, and they were bored in the living room, so the two simply moved two chairs and sat at the door to watch the moon.

But they were in a bad position, they could only see the edge of the moon, and the rest were blocked by clouds.

Qi Ning took out his mobile phone again, but there was still no signal, he sighed heavily, the days of being disconnected from the Internet were very difficult.

"Want to go online?" Chu Yunjing knew what she was thinking when she heard this man's sigh.

The person involved had a bitter face: "I'm thinking about it in my dreams."

Chu Yunjing got up from the chair, turned to look at her, "Go, take it to the Internet."

When Qi Ning heard this, he immediately became excited, Ma Liu moved the chair back, greeted Granny Yu and set off.

They started to walk up the mountain. After walking for about 10 minutes, Qi Ning was a little tired, panting slightly and said, "How long is it? Where is that?"

"It's on a slope, and we'll be there in another 10 minutes."

After walking for 5 minutes, Qi Ning couldn't move anymore, and it was Chu Yunjing who took her half-pushed and led her forward.The main reason is that there are dense trees next to the uphill road, which is strenuous in itself, and it is still pitch black, only the mobile phone can illuminate it.

Chu Yunjing didn't break her promise, she walked for another 5 minutes and saw a small hillside.She didn't go any further. There was a tree on the hillside, and there was a short grass field under the tree.

The two sat on the ground. The hillside they were on was already very high. Looking over from the hillside, Qi Ning was surprised to find that far away, there were dots of light and even lines.

It is the lights of thousands of houses.

Looking up, you can see the full and glowing moon in the deep blue sky, and a large number of stars.

"It's so beautiful." She had only seen this kind of beautiful night scene on the computer.This is different from the city night scene I have seen before. The city is mixed with various neon lights and buildings of different heights.

She took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the night scene, intending to send it to Moments. After the picture was taken, she turned her head and saw Chu Yunjing staring at the moon. She didn't know what she was looking at.As if she was distracted, she looked at the other party for a while but didn't notice.

Chu Yunjing has a beautiful jaw line, a high nose bridge, and a very beautiful profile.

Qi Ning's heart moved, and he secretly took a silhouette photo of her profile.

Chu Yunjing gradually recovered, turned to look at her, "What are you doing?"

"No." Qi Ning quickly put away the phone.

There is indeed a signal on the hillside, but it jumps repeatedly between one block and two blocks.After swiping a video card for a long time, Qi Ning felt bored, so he put the phone back in his pocket.

Quietly a little bored, so I said, "What should we talk about?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

The two picked up some topics, and started chatting with each other.

The work and rest time in the mountains is very early. After running around all day today, Qi Ning is already tired, and his head is getting lower and lower as he chats, and finally leans his body on Chu Yunjing.

In a daze, she had a dream, dreaming that they went back to Chonghai City, and Chu Yunjing's former online dating partner frequently asked her out.After going back and forth, the two of them seemed to want to rekindle their old relationship, and thinking of her vague first kiss partner, Qi Ning was so angry that he woke up.

When he woke up again, Qi Ning felt like he was being carried on his back.

The cold air and the smell of green grass all reminded them that they were still in the mountains and had not returned to Chonghai. This was just a short and irritating dream.

There is no "ex-ex" of her online dating here, only the two of them, and this person is going back to Grandma Yu's house behind her back.

There was a very familiar and reassuring smell in his nose, Qi Ning opened his eyes and saw Chu Yunjing's side face.

"Jingjing..." Qi Ning clenched her hands tightly, circled her neck even harder, and whispered the other person's name.

"Well, go to sleep, it's almost here." In the dark night, her voice was low, as if it had an irresistible magic power, which made her feel at ease.

Just had a dream that made her a little clingy, so she buried her head and rubbed against her neck, sucked a big mouthful and nestled in her neck and shoulders, and fell asleep peacefully.

In the half-dream and half-awake state, in the fluctuating consciousness, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind.

I don't seem to want Chu Yunjing to be with others.

Just imagining the possibility in the dream woke her up again...

"You know what? I just had a dream."
