I live in the countryside

Chapter 10 Destiny

The news spread quickly in the village. It was only a day ago that all the relatives and neighbors in the surrounding area knew that the college students of Qiao's family wanted to come back to farm instead of their jobs in the city.

Not to mention anything else, just the uncles, aunts and aunts in the clan couldn't help but come to Qiao's house to inquire about news.

Chen Mei was not very happy to hear that: "It's nothing, she came back and took me to the provincial capital to see my waist. When I look after it, she will go back to the provincial capital to work after the Chinese New Year."

"Let me just say, Ranran is not stupid, how could she return home to be a farmer after she went to college."

"However, Ba Niang, you are also blessed. You have sent a daughter to college and work in the city. She sits in an office. If you are not in good health, she still misses you and takes you to see a doctor."

"Ranran is a good boy since he was a child, and his grades are not bad. I don't know if my Caixia will be as good as Qiao Churan when she grows up."

In the Qiao family clan, Qiao Zongming was the eighth eldest, and the sisters-in-law in the big family were used to calling people according to their ranking.

Chen Mei was happy to hear her relatives praise her daughter, but she didn't forget to praise others: "Caixia's grades are not bad, and she can go to a good school in the future."

"It's not half as good as Ranran. She is not a material for study. After graduating from junior high school, she will have to go to Guangdong Province to work, just like her father!"

It was Aunt Sixteen who was talking about the sixteenth in the family. She gave birth to two daughters, one named Caixia and the other named Caiying.

The sisters-in-law in the village talk a lot, and if you compliment me and I say a word, they become warm, and they don't leave until four or five o'clock when they go to water the vegetables in the field.

After Chen Mei returned home, she said to Grandma Qiao: "Mom, don't go around telling people that Ranran is coming back to farm, she is going back to the provincial capital in the future!"

Grandma Qiao lay on the bamboo chair and closed her eyes to meditate. Hearing this, she opened her eyelids and glanced at Chen Mei. , She is so old, it's time to get married, I think, you should ask her aunts and aunts to help her find out if there are any suitable ones in the nearby villages, and let her get married early, so that she won't get married in the future."

Chen Mei got angry when she heard that, "Even if Qiao Churan gets married, she won't be able to marry back to the village. Don't worry about it."

"What's wrong with the village? It's close. In the future, you can go home to help with the busy farming. It's not like Yuzhu. After marrying in the city, it's fine if you can't go home to help with work. The dowry has been taken away. Marry a daughter. Our family didn’t get anything, everyone in the city is smart, you are stupid!”

Grandma Qiao has always had a knot in her heart. She couldn't get a penny of Qiao Yuzhu's dowry, and she was unhappy, thinking that Qiao Churan would always get some dowry if she married a villager.

Chen Mei saw that it didn't make sense, and she didn't want to keep arguing with Grandma Qiao, so she just stopped talking and did things in silence, but she decided in her heart that Qiao Churan must never come back to farm.

Early on Wednesday morning, Qiao Zongming drove Chen Mei and Qiao Churan to the town for a ride on a motorcycle. They had to take a two-hour minibus to the county seat, and bought a bus ticket to the provincial capital. It took five hours to get there. Arrive at the provincial capital.

When Chen Mei was young, she also went to work in Guangzhou Province, but she never went to the provincial capital. After marrying Qiao Zongming, she never left Chaoyang County again. In addition, she was motion sick and rarely went to the county town. She just got on the minibus to the county seat, and she vomited not long after driving.

Qiao Churan knew that Chen Mei was motion sick, but she didn't know that Chen Mei was so severe. She was at a loss for what to do. When she patted Chen Mei's shoulder to relieve it, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

When Qiao Churan turned around, what she saw was the same Zhenhua she saw in the town that day.

The other party had a kind smile on his face, "I have motion sickness medicine here, do you want one?"

After speaking, he immediately said: "I see that auntie is very dizzy, don't worry, this is my own medicine, I also get motion sickness occasionally, so take it with you."

Seeing this, the neighbors in the car enthusiastically persuaded Qiao Churan in local dialect: "Girl, your mother vomits so badly, please take some medicine."

"I know this young man. I met him when I went to the town to do errands. I can't go wrong!"

The people in the village are simple, helping each other is a common thing, this car is full of people from Wuxi Town, if this stranger is really malicious, they must not just sit idly by.

Chen Mei was really motion sick, Qiao Churan naturally wouldn't refuse, took the medicine, took the water from the thermos cup and gave Chen Mei to drink, and the other party thanked: "Thank you so much."

Qin Muzhou smiled politely: "It's okay."

Chen Mei took the motion sickness medicine and lay on Qiao Churan's shoulder to sleep. I don't know if the motion sickness medicine had worked, or if there was nothing in Chen Mei's stomach, she bumped all the way to the county town.

Because she was going to the provincial capital for a few days, she brought a lot of clothes, and there were so many winter clothes that Qiao Churan couldn't carry them by herself.

When getting out of the car, Qin Muzhou took the initiative to say, "I'll help you."

Qiao Churan was extremely grateful.

In the waiting room, Qin Muzhou handed the luggage bag to Qiao Churan: "You really don't know me?"

Qiao Churan thought he was talking about what happened at the bank last time, so she smiled and said, "I know."

It's not an exaggeration to say that Wuxi Town is the town's flower, the most handsome in ten miles and eight towns, it's hard for her to forget.

Qin Muzhou's eyes lit up, and Qiao Churan was stunned by the eyes, as if seeing the light of a star, she said in a daze, "I was at the bank a few days ago, I still remember."

After Qiao Churan finished speaking, she seemed to have an illusion, as if the starlight in the other party's eyes had disappeared. Before she could think about it in time, Qin Muzhou laughed softly: "Yes, I was at the bank a few days ago, but Auntie Motion sickness is severe, rest at the station before leaving."

Before Qiao Churan could react, she subconsciously responded, "Okay."

Qin Muzhou glanced at his watch, he was here for a meeting today, he was in a hurry, seeing that Qiao Churan didn't seem to have time, so he said goodbye and left.

When she turned her head, Qiao Churan was lowering her head to talk to Chen Mei. Qin Muzhou glanced quietly, with a warm smile on his lips.

He lowered his head and looked at the pearl hairpin in his hand. It was Qiao Churan who dropped it on the car just now, and said in a low voice, "We are destined to meet across the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. dye."

Qiao Churan was busy taking care of Chen Mei, and when she turned her head again, Qin Muzhou was nowhere to be seen. It wasn't until now that she remembered that she forgot to ask the other party's name, so she scratched her hair angrily.

It was only then that she realized that the hairpin on her head was gone. She looked down for a while and couldn't find it. Chen Mei was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"No." Qiao Churan felt disappointed. She had carried the card for many years. Although it was a graduation gift for her senior year, she had carried it for a long time and had feelings.
