I didn't even bother to change my clothes, so I got on the bicycle, going at a speed of sixty miles.
He Yuzhu could clearly hear the creaking sound of the bicycle chain. If he continued riding like this, the chain might be completely scrapped.
Chain: Brother, slow down!
But now he couldn't care less about the feeling of the chain. He was firing on all cylinders and wanted to get in front of the girl before the last ray of afterglow fell from the sky.
Click! Click!
The chain could not withstand his firepower and finally cracked, and He Yuzhu got his wish and saw the first peach tree.
The girl under the peach tree looked into the distance. It was already dark, and the field of vision became shorter and shorter. After a while, she would not even be able to find her way home.
She was waiting here anxiously, flustered, and heartbroken.
From the beginning of waiting at home, to now the persistence by the peach tree.
From the initial compliments and congratulations from the village, now no one is with her.
From the beginning the family was full of joy, to now they are filled with regret and anger.
She waited and waited, even from dawn to sunset, and from night to sunrise, she still didn't want to believe that that man wouldn't come to marry her.
The last trace of afterglow fell, and the road home began to become blurry. I don't know whether it was the darkness blocking my eyes or the tears blocking my eyes.
In the lonely night, there was the sound of bicycles and the man's voice.
"walk home."
Tears were like the Yellow River bursting its banks. She could no longer bear the fear and timidity in her heart, threw herself into the man's arms and cried loudly.
At this moment, although she was crying, her heart was filled with joy.
Ten miles of peach groves, ten miles of peach blossoms, and the burning fragrance all over the mountains and plains could not compare to the joy in her heart at this moment.
He Yuzhu hugged her distressedly and said nothing, waiting for her to vent her grievances, worries and fears.
After a long time, the clothes wet with the woman's blood were once again wet with the woman's tears.
The night wind blows, drying a woman's tears and blowing away her worries.
After Qin Jingru cried a lot, she felt much better. She rubbed her sore nose from crying and said with a thick nasal voice:
"Why did you come just now? I'm almost dying of anxiety."
He Yuzhu could barely see the person in front of him now.
Wearing a white floral-dot shirt, a brown round-neck jacket, a pair of eight-quarter-length tight pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.
It's exactly the same set of clothes he sent when he came here last time.
He Yuzhu replied: "I'm here right now."
"It's too late, it's too late, I won't marry."
"That won't work. You will be my wife of Yazhai tonight."
"Bah! Who is your wife? I am the wife you are marrying."
"Then Madam, if you don't come back with me yet, don't miss tonight's good night."
"Why are you so anxious? I have to go back and tell my father to save them from worrying."
Nearby, a candlelight illuminated the ground.
"Sister, please go back to your brother-in-law. I will tell you at home."
The visitor was none other than Qin Xiaohu. The family was worried about letting Qin Jingru stay here alone, so they asked Qin Xiaohu to come over and accompany her. Unexpectedly, he heard the conversation between her sister and brother-in-law as soon as he arrived.
He Yuzhu gave Qin Xiaohu a thumbs up. If he went to Qin Jingru's house today, would he be able to please her?
His father-in-law could let him go without a few shovels, not to mention that he had nothing on him now and would be scolded if he went there.
It's better to wait until tomorrow when the betrothal gifts and gifts come to your door to make amends.
She said to Qin Jingru, "Don't worry now."
Put her in the back seat.
"Oh, wait a minute."
She came down again and called out to Qin Xiaohu.
"Xiaohu, come here."
"Sister, what else can you do?"
"Silly, give me the lamp, the kerosene lamp. How are your brother-in-law and I going back this late at night?"
"Sister, what about me?"
"It's only a few steps away from home. Go back by yourself."
The kerosene lamp was taken away, leaving the younger brother in a state of stagflation.
Qin Jingru sat in the back seat with a kerosene lamp, while He Yuzhu pushed the car in front.
In the pitch-black night, only a kerosene lamp illuminated the road ahead.
The two of them returned to the courtyard in this way. When they returned, everyone around them was already asleep. Only He Daqing and He Yuyu were still waiting anxiously at home.
"Dad, why haven't you come back yet?"
He Daqing was also confused, but he felt that his son's safety was no problem, and something might have delayed it.
"It's okay, I probably drank too much over there."
"Then why don't we wait?"
"Wait a little longer, maybe I'll be back soon."
"How long do you have to wait? The food has been heated several times."
There were footsteps in the courtyard, and He Yuzhu walked in holding a bicycle with one hand and holding Qin Jingru's hand.
"Dad, Yuyu, I'm back."
He Daqing put down the cigarette in his hand and said with some joy: "I'm back now. You go out to greet me and I'll heat up the food."
He Yuzhu hurriedly ran out, just thinking about complaining to He Yuzhu about why it took so long.
But as soon as she saw the person, she lost this thought and exclaimed: "Brother, are you okay? Why are you covered in blood?"
He Daqing also quickly came out of the kitchen to see the situation.
He Yuzhu was afraid that the two would be worried and quickly recounted the experience he had told Qin Jingru on the road.
"So, you went to save someone on the big day?"
He Yuyu couldn't believe his ears.
"Brother, as expected, I only gave you the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. You are really stupid. You are not afraid that your sister-in-law will not come back with you, right, sister-in-law."
Qin Jingru was a little shy when He Yuyu's sister-in-law called her, but she still said: "It's okay, life is at stake, not to mention Zhuzi arrived in the end."
Seeing such a virtuous daughter-in-law, He Daqing's hatred for the first uncle deepened even more.
In my heart: "Lao Yi, if such a good daughter-in-law is lost, I will never be done with you."
He smiled with satisfaction: "It's okay. You two haven't eaten for a day. Dad will cook for you."
He Yuzhu felt happy to see the whole family enjoying themselves, but he still had to do less.
"Jingru, this is my dad."
Qin Jingru naturally knew what it meant. He Yuzhu also told her when she came.
He opened his mouth and whispered: "Dad."
Although his voice was low, He Daqing was still very happy. He took out the prepared change fee and handed it to Qin Jingru.
"This is my sister, Yu Yu, you have seen her too."
Before Qin Jingru could say anything, Yuyu spoke first: "Sister-in-law, I don't have a red envelope, so you don't need to be so polite to me."
On the first day she got married, Qin Jingru felt a little reluctant to let go. She was not used to Yu Yu's generosity, so she could only nod her head in the end.
He Yuzhu asked Yuyu to accompany Qin Jingru while he went to take a shower and change clothes. He Daqing also started to heat up the cold dishes and process the ingredients prepared in advance.
When He Yuzhu finished his work, three people at the table were waiting for him.
"Brother, it's too slow. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
He Yuzhu sat down next to Qin Jingru.
"Then just wait! I've been waiting for a whole day. Is there still half a day left?"
"Brother, don't marry a wife and forget your sister."
He Yuyu said angrily, and the people at the table were amused by Yu Yu's expression.
