Chapter 37 The Male Classmate
Xu Wanxiu saw that Zhao Guoqiang had been looking in the same direction? From time to time, she lowered her head to eat, then glanced at it again, her brows were wrinkled, she thought that something had happened, and looked back in the direction he was looking at.
The man was facing their direction, he was talking to the woman beside him, he didn't look too old. When he turned his face back and Xu Wanxiu saw it clearly, he suddenly woke up.
This person's face was very impressive in the memory of the original owner. The man sitting in front of the table is clearly the male classmate the original owner liked in high school, so it can also be said to be an ambiguous object.
The youthful emotions were hazy, and before he could break through the ground, he was cut into chaos by Xu's mother with a sharp knife. Later, the original owner and Zhao Guoqiang got married, and it didn't take long to hear that the male classmate he was thinking about was dating him, and he went to get a marriage certificate soon. The original owner was heartbroken because of this, and was sent by Xu's mother to join the army.
After she figured out the context of these things, the way she looked at the man became complicated.
What happened back then? She couldn't judge what the original owner did in the past? But the man in front of him wasn't a good person either. Mother Xu despised him, and forced the original owner to marry, but this man never tried to win. Later, he quickly began dating and marrying other women.
She doesn't look down on such a person. Zhao Guoqiang saw that Xu Wanxiu also noticed the man, and looked in that direction for so long. Because he was facing away, he could only see the back of the small head, he couldn't see the change in her eyes, he didn't even know what she was thinking.
Because after knowing that Ye Mei had arranged a marriage for him, Zhao Guoqiang also checked it on purpose after he came back, so he naturally knew that there was such a male classmate.
He has always had a good memory, remembering all the people and things he's seen. He almost noticed that the man's eyes often glanced over, and after he focused on his face, he knew who he was.
The male classmate Xu Wanxiu once liked when he was studying, no, it should be said that he liked the male classmate.
Facing the people he cared about, Zhao Guoqiang thought a little bit more. He was afraid that she would dislike him when she saw the ambiguous person in the past, recalling the beauty of the past. He is confident, he has more experience than that man, his body is healthier and more beneficial, and he knows a lot of things;
at the same time, he is also inferior, he is much older than the little girl, and he is often unable to answer when chatting with her. Rao is that he realizes that he understands a lot, but sometimes it takes some effort to understand in order to reflect what she is saying, and then respond.
Maybe when she and the man were reading and talking before, they could always communicate with each other, and maybe the other party already understood everything as soon as they opened their mouths.
It has to be said that Zhao Guoqiang was soured by everything he had imagined, and inadvertently wrapped his thoughts into a dead end, and he went to the tip of the bull's horn.
Xu Wanxiu wasn't very interested in that man. After all, everything between him and the original owner was in the past. If she hadn't happened to meet here today, she probably wouldn't have remembered such a person at all. She turned around to continue eating, and saw Zhao Guoqiang staring at her in a daze, her eyes not moving.
She never thought that Zhao Guoqiang would become jealous so quickly. Xu Wanxiu asked aloud, "Guoqiang, what are you thinking about? Let's eat quickly."
"Okay." Zhao Guoqiang recovered from the voice's call, nodded in response, and continued to eat with his head down, only The initial good mood has disappeared, and this meal is not as delicious as before.
After the two finished their meal, Xu Wanxiu stood up and prepared to leave. Who knew that Zhao Guoqiang took the initiative this time. He walked over and held Xu Wanxiu's hand, and intertwined his fingers in front of so many people. Out of the state-run hotel together.
Xu Wanxiu even felt it very keenly, Zhao Guoqiang pulled her around the man's table deliberately, and seemed to walk by without caring, without stopping.
The two walked a long distance along the way they came, and Xu Wanxiu realized later that Zhao Guoqiang's strange behavior was clearly a demonstration, which means that he was jealous when he just ate something wrong!
The noon sun was a little scorching, and when he reached a slightly shaded place, Xu Wanxiu was walking and suddenly said, "Guo Qiang, that person has nothing to do with me now, my husband is you. , whether it's now or in the future, it's you who will live with me."
Zhao Guoqiang paused and looked back at her, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see any emotion.
Xu Wanxiu looked up at him and said, "You might not believe me when I said it. If I hadn't happened to meet him today, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a person."
"I believe it." Zhao Guoqiang suddenly said, "I believe it, as long as it's what you say." He was originally hesitant, but when Xu Wanxiu turned around and continued eating with a calm expression, he knew that he had won after all.
As the little girl said, no matter what happened in the past, at least now and in the future, she is her own daughter-in-law, and the two of them are the ones who can live together. As for the deliberate showing off just now, it can be said that it is a pleasure, but it is also really unpleasant.
Obviously everyone got married and started a family, but the man had to look over from time to time when he had a good meal, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After talking about this, Zhao Guoqiang and Xu Wanxiu talked and laughed all the way, and there was nothing to buy, so they simply walked back to Zhaojiatun and went home to rest.
The following days can be said to be extraordinarily leisurely, and Xu Wanxiu specially bought half a catty of Fuqiang powder to roll out noodles to eat. She made large wide noodles, which were chewy and chewy. Zhao Guoqiang also liked them. One meal can eat two bowls.
Once, after the two of them had breakfast, it was still early outside, so it couldn’t be considered very hot. Zhao Guoqiang took the initiative to ask, “Wanxiu, do you want to go out for a walk in the village?” Go see the place where I grew up.
It's really boring to stay at home, and the county town is all over again. Xu Wanxiu thought that it was a morning walk and went out to the fields to breathe the fresh air, she nodded in response, "Okay, let's clean up. Go out for a walk."
He walked out from the path in front of the house, and was led by Zhao Guoqiang to the fields along the way. He didn't go down to the ground, but walked along the edge of the field road. The soil under his feet was moist, accompanied by fresh air.
It's still early, but along the way, many people have already picked up farm tools for work and walked to the land allocated by them. The people who work in a fixed place every day generally don’t change much. When they walk by, they still talk to each other, glance at Zhao Guoqiang from time to time, as if asking who is this?
Zhao Guoqiang and Xu Wanxiu didn't care, they walked forward, she asked curiously, "Did you ever work in the fields when you were young?"
"During the autumn harvest, you would go to the fields to help, but when I was in elementary school, my mother would only let me I poured vegetables at home, and then I was in the county seat when I was in junior high school, and my family couldn’t call me.” Zhao Guoqiang said in retrospect.
Xu Wanxu realized that when he was in elementary school, Zhao's mother was reluctant to let him do heavy work. When he was in junior high school, Ye Mei wanted him to work in the fields. Zhao Guoqiang refused because he was studying in the county town. Only when the autumn harvest was too busy. Go down and help. This is not his compromise, but the general environment.
The autumn harvest is a first-class event here. As long as the family can still move, they will go to the field to help, not to mention that the primary and secondary schools will also have the autumn harvest holiday, so that the students have enough time to go home and go to the field to help.
Thinking about the previous experience of the original owner, Xu Wanxiu smiled and said, "I didn't go to work in the field. I helped to cook at home at that time." Even if the original owner was lazy, he would not dare to refuse at such a time. Her mother, brother and sister-in-law have all gone to work in the field. In addition to cooking at home, she also has to take care of the newly born baby Xu Yuanhong.
"That's very lucky." Speaking of this, Zhao Guoqiang has always been envious. Even when they first got engaged, knowing that the Yue family loves the little girl so much, he thought at that time that the girl who grew up in such a warm family must also be very warm, and it is not something that cannot be expected to form a family together.
Everything got a little out of control after that, but it's back on track now.
The two walked along the field path, and when they saw a stream across the field in the distance, Zhao Guoqiang couldn't help laughing, "Wanxiu, look at that stream, don't think it's so narrow, but it's very deep. The current has also become turbulent."
"Yeah." Xu Wanxiu nodded to indicate that she was listening. She looked at the stream. The water flowing in it was not clear, and it even rushed forward along with the loose yellow soil. She was looking forward to what Zhao Guoqiang said next, and what he would bring up on purpose must also have a story.
"Didn't you come back with a river crab last time? I said that I had eaten it. I was fishing in this stream back then, but I didn't find a few fish. Instead, I caught a few river crabs. A bucket of things went home." Zhao Guoqiang recalled it now, and his eyes were warm.
It was one of his few happy childhood moments. At that time, the mother was still there, and the father had not changed. Life was hard, but he always felt that he was the happiest child in the village.
"Very good. I used to want to go fishing in the river, but my mother didn't give it to me, so I had to watch my brother go fishing on the river bank, and I was envious at that time. Although my brother didn't catch any fish in the end." Xu Wanxiu tried her best to search for some similar memories of the original owner in her mind, and said it in a more soothing tone.
She could see that these were the things that Zhao Guoqiang had been thinking about in the depths of his heart, and it would be good to be willing to say it now. In order to prevent the atmosphere from being too stagnant and sad, Xu Wanxiu tried her best to adjust the atmosphere with gags.
Every time Zhao Guoqiang goes, there is always a joyous event that can trigger his children's memory, and he shares all of them with Xu Wanxiu. The most important thing is that this little girl is patient. Every time she finishes talking, she can always tell him her own things well to make him laugh.
After saying the last thing, Zhao Guoqiang stretched out his hand to hold Xu Wanxiu's hand and said, "I don't come back often to Zhaojiatun now, and those who make me nostalgic are no longer there. Where are you now, where is my home." True or false, some of them were actually experienced by the original owner when he was a child, and more were made up by Xu Wanxiu based on the background at that time. However, being able to see Zhao Guoqiang relieved, she was considered a success, and her efforts were not in vain.
