As soon as the bed was changed, the bell for the afternoon work rang. Everyone except Cheng Qiao hurried to the fields. They couldn't be late, otherwise they would be deducted centimeters.
Cheng Qiao went to the yard and collected the clothes he had washed in the morning. Then he took a white steamed bun from the space and gnawed it. He also took out a bottle of milk and drank it.
There should be enough food in her belly. She must strengthen her nutrition for this child. The second-rate child in the previous life suffered a lot for this child, but she will not do it again in this life.
She also needs to be filial to her future mother-in-law. If she hadn't taken out the coffin book and escorted him out in his previous life, he would have died in the hands of Xu Laidi.
It's just that the second-rate guy hasn't come to find him yet. Could it be that he went hunting in the mountains? Cheng Qiao's idea was not wrong at all. The second-rate guy was killing hares in the mountains with a woodcutter in his hand.
Cheng Qiao has grown too thin, so she has to catch some game to replenish her body. She came to the mountains early this morning, and her performance was good. She caught a nest of wild rabbits.
I picked up some more firewood, made a simple stove pit, skewered the cleaned rabbits with branches, and roasted them on the fire. After a while, a fragrance spread out.
The second-rate man swallowed a sip of saliva, but still restrained his desire. He wrapped the roasted rabbits with clean big tree leaves, and put the remaining seven or eight dead wild rabbits into his backpack.
Then I dug some wild vegetables to cover it and walked down the mountain.
"Cheng Qiao, are you in there?"
The second-rate boy stood at the door of the educated youth center, calling softly. Even though he knew that everyone was going to work at this time, he still carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Cheng Qiao felt tired after eating and drinking. He wanted to take a good nap. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice outside. He couldn't help but smile, put on his shoes, and limped out.
"Does your foot still hurt? How about I take you to the county hospital for a checkup?"
The second-rate son felt very distressed when he saw Cheng Qiao limping out.
"I've already seen it. Uncle Ye gave me medicine and two days of sick leave. I can still have a day off tomorrow."
"I know, I went to the fields just now, and seeing that you were not here, I knew that you must have asked for leave, but you can just take one day of sick leave. Everyone will have a rest tomorrow, because the autumn harvest will be the day after tomorrow."
"Really? It's a pity that my ankle is sprained. Otherwise, I really want to go to the county town and buy some things."
Erluzi looked at the sparkling water in Cheng Qiao's eyes and couldn't help but think of the scene that night. His face instantly turned red. Cheng Qiao was so soft, and it melted into his heart.
"There will be an oxcart going to the county town tomorrow. You can go there by oxcart. And if you don't worry about your reputation, I can borrow a bicycle to take you there."
"No worries, just can you borrow a bicycle?"
Cheng Qiao wasn't worried at all. They were about to marry a second-rate man. It didn't matter if they were seen together. But if this happened, something might have happened to Xu Laidi last night.
Erluzi looked at Cheng Qiao with a smile and felt soft in his heart. He knew what Cheng Qiao was thinking. He was there for everything and would not let Cheng Qiao be bullied.
"Young man, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the second-rate boy looking at him blankly, Cheng Qiao's face turned red. Although the two of them were already in a relationship, the little girl's shyness was innate.
"Oh, I roasted a hare for you. It's still hot. Eat it quickly."
The second-rate man took out the hare wrapped in big leaves and handed it to Cheng Qiao.
Only then did Cheng Qiao realize that it was not her nose that had a problem, but that there was really a scent of hare, so she quickly took it. Although she was not hungry, the scent of hare brought out her greedy self.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Cheng Qiao tore off a rabbit leg and was about to stuff it into his mouth when he saw the second-rate man's Adam's apple moving and asked quickly.
"Eat, eat, eat quickly, don't let anyone see you."
"Idiot, how can I eat so much? Here you go, half for each of us."
Cheng Qiao took a rabbit leg, and handed most of the remaining rabbit to the second-rate man. The second-rate man was stunned again. Didn't he say half for each person, why so many.
"Cheng Qiao..."
"Fast food."
Cheng Qiao pretended to glare at the second-rate man, who quickly tore off another rabbit leg and stuffed it into Cheng Qiao's hand. Then he lowered his head and stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth.
"Slow down, no one will compete with you."
Cheng Qiao took out a handkerchief with a small floral pattern and handed it to the second-rate boy. The second-rate boy's eyes lit up. He took the handkerchief, but was reluctant to wipe his mouth. He wiped it casually with his tattered sleeve, but carefully put the handkerchief into his body.
pocket.
"Hey, why did you take my handkerchief?"
"Cheng Qiao, I want to marry you back home, but I don't have enough money right now. If you give me three months, I will definitely marry you into the family with great grace."
The second-rate man's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. He actually had some money, because he always went hunting in the mountains and then secretly sent them to the black market. In order not to be discovered by the villagers, he deliberately turned into a second-rate man.
"I still have some money and tickets here. Xu Laidi returned them to me yesterday. Why don't you take them for emergencies first?"
Of course Cheng Qiao knew the economic situation of the second-rate man, so he quickly took out the money and tickets from his pocket, actually from the space.
"Cheng Qiao, no wonder the old ladies in the village say you are stupid. You are really stupid. How can you cheat a man's gift money? Put it away quickly. I can't take it."
When Cheng Qiao heard this, he felt sad. Yes, he was like this in his previous life. He was deceived and foolishly helped others to speak up. In the end, he not only lost his second-rate son, but also lost their child.
"Young man, I'm not stupid, and I'm not cheating. I'm just worried that if I have a child in my belly, if I don't get married, I'll be ruined."
The second-rate man's eyes flashed, and he became anxious. He thought for a moment, then took the money and tickets from Cheng Qiao's hand, and said solemnly:
"Cheng Qiao, I, Li Huan, swear that I will succeed in the future and earn a lot of money so that Cheng Qiao can enjoy a happy life. I borrowed these money and tickets. When I make money, all the money will be given to you."
Erliuzi's original name was Li Huan, but he was used to being called Erliuzi, so most people in the village had forgotten his real name.
Cheng Qiao smiled. She believed in the man in front of her. She waved her hand and said: "Li Huan, I will call you Li Huan from now on. I believe in you. Go ahead. I'll wait for you to marry me."
Li Huan nodded, glanced at Cheng Qiao's belly, and was filled with joy. He seemed to see a beautiful life waving to him, and he was about to have a wife and children.
Cheng Qiao watched Li Huan turn around step by step, and finally his back slowly faded away. She felt warm in her heart. She was going to the county town tomorrow and she had to find a way to get something out.
