After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 167
When we arrived at the county seat, it was not yet six o'clock.

Jiang Jincheng found a place to park the car, but the seats at the tea restaurant hadn't been lined up yet, so the two of them strolled around the pedestrian street slowly.

This pedestrian street has only been developed in recent years, and it is considered the most prosperous commercial street in the county.

There are colorful light strips hanging on the trees on both sides of the road, like stars, very beautiful.

The streets and alleys are filled with a strong festive atmosphere, and there are couples walking hand in hand or embracing each other everywhere.

There are long street stalls on both sides of the street, vendors selling roses and various Valentine's Day gifts, constantly attracting passing couples.

"Rose is a symbol of love, today is Valentine's Day, you must buy a bouquet of roses for the person you like!"

When Jiang Jincheng and Shen Qiuqiu passed by, a flower seller suddenly rushed to Jiang Jincheng with a bouquet of flowers.

"Handsome guy, my girlfriend is so pretty, buy her a bunch of flowers."

Jiang Jincheng did not refuse, but turned to ask Shen Qiuqiu, "Do you like it?"

Shen Qiuqiu blushed suddenly, and stretched out her hand to drag him away.

Jiang Jincheng touched his nose, smiled and waved at the peddler.

At the end of the pedestrian street is a small square.

The small square is even more lively, with those selling flowers and chocolates, Kongming lanterns, and balloons.

The children ran and played wantonly in the center of the square.

Next to it, several couples are putting Kongming lanterns.

The young lovers wrote down their wishes on the Kongming Lantern together, and then lit the candles. As the fire grew bigger and bigger, the Kongming Lantern rose slowly and flew into the sky.

Whenever a Kongming lantern flies up, the children watching will jump up and down, cheering happily.

Shen Qiuqiu stared blankly at the Kongming Lantern floating into the sky.

What I think in my mind is, this is a downtown area, is it really good to put Kongming lanterns?What if it touches the cable or floats somewhere, causing a fire?
Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind.

Shen Qiuqiu and Jiang Jincheng turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a large bunch of hydrogen balloons flying into the sky.

The colorful balloons are flying slowly to the heights, which is very beautiful and the scene is very spectacular.

"Wow! It's so beautiful."

"Husband, husband, hurry up and take a picture."

"Mom, is this a balloon confession? Whose boyfriend is so romantic..."

"Mom, look quickly, there are so many balloons."

People let out a burst of exclamation, and many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures and record videos.

Among the crowd, an old man in ragged clothes jumped and jumped after the scattered balloons, trying to catch the flying balloons, causing bursts of laughter.

The balloon gradually flew into the sky.

The old man sat down on the ground slumped, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of despair.

Through the whispers of others, Shen Qiuqiu knew that those balloons belonged to this old man.

Just now, a young couple wanted to buy balloons. The old man untied the string tied to his wrist and brought them balloons;

There were a lot of people in the square, and I don't know which child accidentally bumped into the old man. As soon as the old man let go, all the balloons flew away.

Seeing the old man sitting on the ground sad and helpless, Shen Qiuqiu's heart felt sad for no reason, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Without thinking about it, she lowered her head to find the wallet in her bag.

Now that electronic payment is gradually becoming popular, it is rare to use cash, and there is not much money in her wallet, which adds up to more than 500 yuan.

Shen Qiuqiu sorted out the banknotes, stepped forward and stuffed them into the old man's hand, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I accidentally pushed you just now, I'll buy all those balloons, don't be sad."

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

A girl who was standing next to Shen Qiuqiu just now suddenly asked a friend beside her, "That young lady has been standing next to us just now, how could it be that she pushed her?"

The girl's friend smiled, "Miss is beautiful and kind-hearted, it's a good deed to be a good person."

"What?" The old man raised his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise, but he didn't react.

He is a bit confused when he is old, he can't even remember whether someone pushed him just now.

Shen Qiuqiu asked with a smile, "I only brought so much cash, is it enough?"

Only then did the old man come back to his senses, and nodded again and again, "Enough is enough."

After seeing the money in his hand, he quickly waved his hand, "Girl, you paid too much. The cost of my balloon is only [-] yuan, which is not worth so much money."

As he said that, he prepared to return part of the money to Shen Qiuqiu.

"Grandpa, I didn't give much. Your balloon is very beautiful and worth so much money."

Shen Qiuqiu waved his hands with a smile, stood up, pulled Jiang Jincheng up and ran away.

As if she was afraid that the old man would catch up, she dragged Jiang Jincheng and kept running.

He ran a long way and didn't stop until he was out of breath.

Shen Qiuqiu leaned against the wall, extremely tired.

Jiang Jincheng stared at her for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Qiuqiu glanced at him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'm a bit stupid..."

Jiang Jincheng shook his head and said seriously, "Not stupid."

Shen Qiuqiu lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, "It probably has something to do with my life experience when I was a child. I have strong empathy... Every time I see such a thing, I get sad easily.

It seems a bit hypocritical to say so, but it's just... Even though I'm not doing very well, I just don't like this kind of suffering in the world. "

Jiang Jincheng sighed, then suddenly reached out and rubbed her head.

"It's not hypocritical at all, you're fine."

He bowed his head slightly, and said again, "A little girl like you is very attractive." His voice was hoarse and gentle.

"..." Shen Qiuqiu's heart skipped a beat.

What do you mean, is this a confession? !
Why so suddenly!

There is no preparation at all!
Suddenly, Jiang Jincheng's cell phone rang.

After it rang for a while, he didn't even intend to answer the phone.

Shen Qiuqiu raised her head and met his eyes.

He chuckled softly, his eyes were ambiguous, but he looked extraordinarily serious.

Shen Qiuqiu blushed and whispered, "You answer the phone."

"Okay." Jiang Jincheng took out the phone from his pocket.

It was a call from the tea restaurant, informing them that they had a seat now.

Shen Qiuqiu seemed to be pardoned, and when Jiang Jincheng was about to speak, he said first: "Let's go, I'm hungry."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Jincheng's reaction, he strode forward.

Jiang Jincheng chased after her with a smile, and grabbed her wrist, "You are going the wrong way, the tea restaurant is not in this direction."

"..." Shen Qiuqiu's face flushed instantly.

Then, she was led by Jiang Jincheng all the way to the tea restaurant where they reserved a table.

While ordering the meal and waiting for the food to be served, Shen Qiuqiu felt that seconds seemed like years.

But Jiang Jincheng was still staring at her.

She couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "What's so interesting?"

But he replied seriously, "It looks good."
