I live in the countryside

Chapter 126 Do you want to restart this project (1 more)
Qiao Churan hurriedly raised her hand and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

She just couldn't control her emotions just now, and for some reason, she suddenly shed tears.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little sad." She explained hastily, "It will pass soon, please ignore me."

After finishing speaking, she wanted to break away from Qin Muzhou's body, not wanting Qin Muzhou to see herself so humiliated and vulnerable.

She is a little bit strong in her heart, and she has always been unwilling to shed tears in front of people, making herself seem very delicate.

Qin Muzhou held her back and didn't let her move. He rubbed his cheek against Qiao Churan's, and kissed her lightly under the corner of the eye: "I knew I would cry if I told you this, so I wouldn't tell you."

Qiao Churan looked at him silently, then bowed her head silently to calm down her emotions.

She didn't want to do this either, probably because her emotions had been buried for too long, and it only happened when she broke out, and she couldn't even control herself.

Qin Muzhou pinched her chin and forced her to look up, "You were crying so sad at that time, but now that it's been so long, when you mention it again, your tears are still there."

After speaking, Qin Muzhou paused, and kissed Qiao Churan's lips, as if to relieve the atmosphere, his tone was slightly sighing, but still very gentle: "I'm going to be jealous of you like this."

The pain and sadness in Qiao Churan's heart were blown away a lot because of Qin Muzhou's untimely words, and he patted Qin Muzhou's hand holding his chin.

"You are not allowed to be jealous."

Her voice was a little cute after crying, which aroused pity.

If it was usual, Qiao Churan must have felt very embarrassed, but now she reacted quickly and looked up at Qin Muzhou: "Back then? You know? Do you remember?"

Qin Muzhou: "..."

Consciously slipping his tongue, his eyes flickered.

"Say it quickly!" Qiao Churan was keenly aware that there seemed to be something she didn't know about it. In other words, Qin Muzhou had already met him at that time, and the meeting in Wuxi Town was not the first time.

Qin Muzhou sighed, how could he not remember?

Back at school that night, her roommate brought her a birthday gift that Zhou Chao had prepared before his death, and when he left, she held the gift and cried unbearably.

At that time, he wanted to go up, even if he hugged her.

But he has no position, no identity and no reason.

I could only look at her from a distance, crying like a tearful person, and entrusted a girl to send her a pack of tissues.

Qin Muzhou realized what he said, took a sip, and explained simply: "I saw them bring things to you, and then they left, so you walked around the school road by yourself, and finally found yourself in a place with few people , found a step, sat down, and cried."

"then you……"

Qiao Churan didn't expect this, and explained in a low voice: "I am from the same hometown as Zhou Chao, so the relationship is naturally different from others. We regard each other as family members. During the days when I was studying in a foreign land, although I was adaptable, but For a big city like Beicheng, I am still at a loss, Zhou Chao took me through those days and helped me grow up, for me, he is a friend, a brother, and a teacher... I can't accept it."

Qin Muzhou paused. It was the first time he heard Qiao Churan confess his friendship with Zhou Chao, and his heart was a little complicated.

Because she knew that in Zhou Chao's heart, it was far more than that, but Zhou Chao was too restrained.

Qin Muzhou lowered his head and kissed Qiao Churan's cheek lightly: "I know, I was a little worried when I saw you alone, so I followed for a while."

As a result, she, who was always sensitive, didn't notice him at all because she was too sad.

Qiao Churan didn't ask anymore when she and Qin Muzhou met. At this moment, she didn't have the heart to find out, and Qin Muzhou didn't say much, and raised her hand to wipe away the wetness from the corner of her eyes.

Qiao Churan figured out the ins and outs, and asked bluntly, "Then you came to Wuxi Town because of the Zhou Dynasty?"

She took out her mobile phone, clicked on Qin Muzhou's Moments, and turned back to the Moments he posted when he first came to Wuxi Town in September last year: "This?"

Qin Muzhou nodded, and said lightly, "That's right."

Qiao Churan fell silent immediately. In Qin Muzhou's mood, he read another apology to the Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou family.

She raised her hand and touched Qin Muzhou's cheek: "So for this matter, you feel ashamed of Zhou's family, you take good care of Uncle Zhou's family, and you even offered to help Zhou Yang make up lessons, come to work in Wuxi Town, and complete unfinished business for Zhou Chao. about?"

Qin Muzhou raised his hand and grabbed Qiao Churan's hand.

His usual calm and confident expression had evasive, guilty, and inferior expressions, which made Qiao Churan feel a pain in his heart.

Most of Qin Muzhou is gentle and refined, even if he is a little ruffian towards him in private, he can't hide the pride and nobility in his bones, he shouldn't have such an inferiority complex.

Qin Muzhou buried his head in Qiao Churan's neck, not letting her see his expression at this time, and said in a difficult voice: "At that time, he and I were mainly in charge of this project. If there was an accident, I was responsible. If I stopped it at that time, If I hadn't given him the first try, perhaps this accident would not have happened."

So for so many years, with such guilt and apology, he almost gave up intelligence and automation, and came to this remote small town to help the poor?
"But..." Qiao Churan was stunned: "The accident was not caused by you. No one can avoid the immature new technology. If you can find out, such a thing will not happen, right?"

"You didn't mean to ask Zhou Chao to try first."

Qin Muzhou paused, but did not speak.

Qiao Churan asked again: "Does Uncle Zhou know?"

Qin Muzhou nodded: "I know."

"Then... what happened to the things that were not completed at the time?"

Recalling the past, Qiao Churan couldn't help but recall that Zhou Chao told her that if intelligentization could be applied on a large scale in a large agricultural country like Huaguo, it would change the fate of many farmers.

How much enthusiasm should he put into this project, and how much regret should he leave.

"It was forced to stop." Qin Muzhou talked about the project that made his blood boil at the beginning, leaving only the last plainness: "Because of this accident, the project was forced to stop, and it has not been started yet."

Because of this incident, Beiying Technology was also forced to delay the listing time. The members who participated in this project at that time went abroad, and others were looking for another job. Only four or five people are currently working as engineers at Beiying Technology.

However, the research on genetically modified crops has not been interrupted, it just lacks the access to intelligence and unmanned.

Time has changed, and now more than four years have passed, and the times are developing too fast. Some companies are already exploring the development of this field, and even approached Beiying Technology, wanting to obtain core technologies.

"It's over..." Qiao Churan muttered a few words, looking at Qin Muzhou's expression, he couldn't even read his expression clearly.

However, she couldn't help but think of the drone detector that Qin Muzhou put in when she was farming, and the small unmanned detector that is still in the greenhouse today.

Qiao Churan knew that perhaps Qin Muzhou had never let go of the project that was cut in half.

We just need to wait for an opportunity to bring together those youthful and enthusiastic people back then in the yard.

She opened her mouth to ask a question that no one has asked Qin Muzhou so directly since Zhou Chao passed away: "Then...do you want to restart this project?"

*
When Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan were talking about the past, the Qiao family had already calmed down.

The place to eat is in the main hall of Qiao's house, and Chen Mei has already cleaned it up.

Grandma Qiao was forcibly taken back to the house by Qiao Zongming.

The old lady was very angry. Chen Mei poured her daughter a pot of vegetable soup in front of her like this. It was no different from treating animals. She was cursing in the room. If Qiao Zongming stopped her, she would definitely quarrel with Chen Mei.

"Mom! Enough is enough!"

It was rare for Qiao Zongming to get angry with Grandma Qiao once. His face was not good-looking, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "Don't meddle in these things, you don't understand! Isn't it messy enough now? Intervene, what exactly do you want, do you think things are as simple as you think?"

The second son, who had always been gentle with him, suddenly spoke loudly to him like this. Grandma Qiao was stunned, and was about to curse: "Don't you think I'm a mother anymore! You're so heartless, you forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law!"

Qiao Zongming shook his head.

Although the older generation in the country favors sons over daughters, among all the sons, they also value the eldest son and love the youngest son. The one in the middle is like a grass, so he and Uncle Qiao are the last among Grandma Qiao's four sons. Not being taken seriously, the elder brother and the younger brother both went to technical secondary schools and colleges, and they were the only two of them. After graduating from elementary school, they went home to do farm work and take care of their younger siblings.

But Qiao Zongming didn't have any complaints. His family was poor and couldn't afford him to go to school, so he admitted it.

But for so many years, his mother was still like this, which gradually made him feel tired.

Looking at Grandma Qiao's fierce face, Qiao Zongming didn't know whether he was numb, or said: "If I am a wolf-hearted dog, I should leave you in the old house right now, just like other unfilial sons in the village. , have gone to the horizon, Chunju is your daughter, you protect her, but don't harm my wife and children."

"You're getting old, rest early, it's not good for your health to be so angry."

After Qiao Zongming finished speaking, she didn't care about Grandma Qiao's reaction, and left her alone in the room. Grandma Qiao waited until Qiao Zongming went out before she realized, and continued to curse at the door.

When Qiao Zongming came out, Chen Mei had already tidied up everything. He walked over and said, "Ranran said that you can't always bend over to work with your waist. I'll just clean it up if you're in a hurry."

Chen Mei seemed to have not heard the quarrel in the room just now, and sighed: "Xiao Qin finally came to the house for a meal, and it happened to such a bad thing, I don't know if he would mind, I see Ran is so rare about him, if the two children get into trouble because of our family's affairs, what... what should we do?"

After Chen Mei finished speaking, she frowned, and said with an unhappy expression: "Chunju's rotten mouth has really grown old in recent years, and she can bite anything. No wonder my son is also imitating bad things everywhere. !"

Qiao Zongming said, "Stop talking about it, too."

Chen Mei just stopped talking, and muttered: "Anyway, they are all good, just don't always find Ranran, what kind of talk is this, and this is not how to give face, isn't this the same as cheating on criminals?"

Not long after the movement at home stopped, the third aunt next door came over and quietly asked what happened, and the sound of quarreling could be heard outside the door.

The two sisters-in-law were always able to talk, and Chen Mei told the story of Aunt Qiao to the third aunt in a low voice, and the third aunt was amazed: "I've never seen such a person..."

The two sat together and whispered for a long time about the strange things that Aunt Qiao did, then heard the sound of cars rolling over the road outside, Chen Mei stood up: "Yo, Ranran is back?"

She hurried out to open the courtyard door for Qiao Churan, and Qiao Churan parked the car neatly. Chen Mei looked at her carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with her expression, so she said, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Qiao Churan smiled: "By the way, I sat down for a while, and my third aunt is also here."

The third aunt let out a hey, and teased Qiao Churan's new car and driving skills before saying that it was getting late and she had to go back to take a shower.

Chen Mei took her daughter back to the room, and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right, you and Xiao Qin have no conflicts?"

Qiao Churan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, you think too much, what can you do?"

Although after getting along for a while, Chen Mei believed in Qin Muzhou's character, but she still cared about Aunt Qiao's words about the murderer, and asked Qiao Churan cryptically what was going on.

Qiao Churan shook his head: "Don't you know what my sister-in-law said? She sent me home before the Zhou Dynasty. Do you still remember that Muzhou and him are in college, or in the same class and roommate, and they have a good relationship? , he has a good relationship with the Zhou family now, and he also helps Zhou Yang with tutoring, what are you worried about?"

Chen Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "I'll say it! Your sister-in-law has a bad mouth, next time he dares to say such a thing, see if I don't tear her mouth apart!"

Qiao Churan was silent, but there was a little coolness in her eyes.

Aunt Qiao, in the past, she didn't take care of such things between the elders in the family. Firstly, it was because she was not at home very much. Aunt Qiao hadn't offended the Qiao family so openly before, but now, since she did this twice and three times, If you are uncomfortable, she will naturally make it right.

There are no more than three things, it is the blood relationship, and it will be useless after that.

Chen Mei naturally didn't know what Qiao Churan was thinking, and asked again: "Then Xiao Qin doesn't mind our family's situation?"

Qiao Chu was amused: "Don't worry, Mom, he always wants to be your son-in-law."

Chen Mei: "...You child, don't be shy at all!"
