Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

"Brother Chen, if you are not in a hurry, can you go back with my parents and Jingru so that we can take care of them."

Perhaps the arrival of her parents made her feel less worried. Qin Huairu looked much better in the past few days, with some color on her face, which was very different from the pale and haggard appearance she had shown in the past two days, as if she had died for several days.

Chen Xu nodded in agreement.

It's actually very boring to travel alone, it's also nice to have a few people as companions.

Qin Jingru next to her had a delighted look on her face, which made Qin Huairu wonder if her cousin had any strange ideas. She shook her head and threw this unrealistic idea out of her mind.

After all, her cousin knew how terrifying Lin Chan was better than she did, and she probably didn't have the guts to go after Chen Xu.

We were supposed to go back alone, but now there are four of us, but the speed is not much slower.

Qin Jingru and Qin's father and mother are obviously much better than Lou Xiao'e, who is a naive person. After all, the winter in the city has been almost like this for so many years, and they have long been familiar with walking in the snow.

Moreover, people who work all year round must have much stronger endurance.

Looking at Qin Jingru who was walking in front and chattering around Chen Xu.

Mother Qin felt something was wrong.

"Boss, could it be that your niece has taken a fancy to Chen Caigou?"

Father Qin frowned and looked at the two people in front of him. It seemed that this trend was really happening. Qin Jingru was also a beauty in the village. Although she was still young, there were people who came to propose marriage to her. It was just that this girl was arrogant and wanted to learn from Qin Huairu and marry in the city.

This is nothing. Not only Qin Jingru, but many others also want to marry into the city. After all, the conditions in the countryside are really hard to describe.

But Chen Xu cannot be provoked. If you look at the conditions, he is indeed a good match. If he really falls in love with Jing Ru, it would be considered that his niece is marrying above her station. But the problem is that Chen Xu is already married.

And judging from the way Chen Xu ignored Qin Jingru, he obviously didn't have such an idea.

"Go back and talk to this girl. It's better to stop having those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible."

After saying this, Qin's father sighed. Others envied him for having a daughter who married into the city, but he knew the truth very well. Given Qin Huairu's current situation, in his opinion, it would be better for her to find someone to marry into in the countryside and live a stable life.

Chen Xu was a little helpless. Having a little fan girl was not a bad thing, but this girl was obviously greedy for his body, and it was obvious that she would not change despite repeated warnings, which gave him a headache.

He has always been soft-hearted and has never been able to respond to harsh words, so he couldn't say anything harsh to Qin Jingru.

But it doesn't matter. After this time, I will have basically no contact with this girl. After all, Qin Jingru can't stay in the courtyard forever. She will have to stay in the countryside for at least a long time.

As time went by and they met less and less often, the girl naturally gave up the idea.

In his memory, Qin Jingru first appeared in the courtyard at the age of eighteen. That was four or five years later. How old is she now? Thirteen or fourteen. In his eyes, Qin Jingru is still a child.

In his previous life, Qin Jingru was still in junior high school at this age.

It's just that girls mature earlier. Generally speaking, girls of twelve or thirteen know everything they should know, while boys of twelve or thirteen are still at the stage of playing in the mud...

Chen Xu matures more precociously than most people. After all, he had never seen his parents since he was born in his previous life, so the environment had a great influence on him. In addition, he was much younger when he came to this world, which resulted in a difference of at least ten years between his current mental age and his actual age.

Speaking of which, Lin Chan is one year older than him, which means she has one-third of a gold brick.

When they arrived at the commune, the four of them separated. Qin Jingru was reluctant to leave, as this was the longest time she had stayed with Chen Xu.

Chen Xu ignored the pitiful look in the little fan girl's eyes, waved goodbye in a very single manner, and went home alone.

Qin's mother speechlessly pulled Qin Jingru, who kept looking back every few steps, towards home, feeling that this girl was hopeless.

"Sixth girl, you are not interested in purchasing Chen, are you?"

Qin Jingru is the sixth child in the family, with five older brothers and sisters, which is actually very normal at that time.

Nowadays, people value having many children and being blessed. Having more children means you are blessed, and strength in numbers is the core idea of ​​this era. Not to mention five or six, having eight, nine, or even ten is normal.

"No, Brother Chen is married."

Qin Jingru's expression instantly fell. She knew that Chen Xu was married, but she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

Mother Qin was speechless. You even knew that Chen Xu was married. Looking at you, I guess he would just nudge you in the face and you, stupid girl, would just give him away for free.

"I have to talk to your mother when I get back..."

"No, auntie, my mother will beat me to death."

Qin Jingru panicked instantly and grabbed her mother's arm and acted like a spoiled child. If her mother knew that she had fallen in love with a married man, she would probably beat her to death.

"Forget it, let's end this matter here. Sixth girl should get married in a few years. If you go back and say something wrong now, you might even ruin your reputation."

Qin's father thought more. Qin Jingru was staying in the countryside now, and she probably wouldn't have the chance to meet Chen Xu in the future. She would be getting married in a few years. If she went back and told about this now, it might get out and people would easily gossip about her.

Qin's mother thought the same and reached out to poke Qin Jingru on the forehead.

"It's not that I want to meddle in your affairs. You are the only one in your family who is valued. If you go to the city twice and get harassed, you will blame me to death. You should think it through. You can't be a young girl and become a mistress..."

Mother Qin said a lot of things, and Qin Jingru looked like she was willing to learn, but she didn't agree with it in her heart.

Even being someone's mistress is better than working in the fields all year round.

Look at my cousin. Although her family conditions are not good, she still looks pretty after at least ten years.

Compared with the women in the countryside, who are in their thirties but look like they are in their forties or fifties, Qin Jingru doesn't want to be like that.

the other side.

Chen Xu has already rushed back home.

He opened his arms the moment he saw Lin Chan. Lin Chan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why was he still like this after getting married?

But the girl still came up obediently for a hug. It was Lin Chan's insistence not to reject her man's intimacy, and she also liked it.

"Where's mom?"

"I went back with the village chief and the others."

The little girl in his arms raised her head, and her beautiful eyes made Chen Xu feel very rare.

"Okay then, we'll go back tomorrow and spend the year at your house."

"Ah."

Lin Chan nodded. She would just listen to whatever Chen Xu said. Besides, she also wanted to go back and stay for a few more days. After the New Year, she would go to Sijiu City with Chen Xu.

I'm somewhat reluctant.

There was the village where she grew up, the forest that was as familiar as her own vegetable garden, and the small animals that were no different from those she raised at home.

As if he could see what Lin Chan was thinking, Chen Xu stroked her soft long hair to comfort her.

"It's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities to come back in the future."

Once he turns Lin Chan into a buyer, he can come back whenever he wants and won’t have to worry about this at all.

Yanshan is Chen Xu's blessed land, where he has a wife, wild game, and pets. He can't just abandon it like this.
