I live in the countryside

Chapter 22
Gao Tingting replied quickly: "Who, I don't know, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing. People from the town came to visit the village today. The staff are from the same school as us. They are three years older than us. They said they are from Beicheng University. I'll ask you."

Upon hearing this, Gao Tingting lost interest in an instant: "Hey! I thought it was something. There are so many older than us, so I definitely don't know each other. When we enrolled, they were all juniors, and I haven't heard of them. , but is he handsome?"

Qiao Churan was speechless: "That's all you care about?"

She forgot for a moment, Gao Tingting met in the town the day before yesterday.

"Otherwise?" Gao Tingting replied with a smirk, but she is not very interested in this. She graduated from Beicheng University and went to work in Wuxi Town. She is not a famous person. Maybe her hometown is around Chaoyang County. .

On the other side, Qin Muzhou looked at Qiao Churan's reply on the phone, and couldn't put it down for a long time.

In the end, there was only a chuckle.

In any case, it's best to get in touch, and the future will be long.

After Qiao Churan quit the chat page with Gao Tingting, she saw Qin Muzhou's reply: "Okay, continue to visit Qingxi Village tomorrow."

Qiao Churan didn't reply, thought for a while, and clicked on Qin Muzhou's WeChat.

The number of times he posted to Moments was pitifully small, only four, and he doubled it to the end.

I saw the first one, which was posted in the winter of 2012, a photo of the back that is not very clear.

Qiao Churan could recognize that this was in the square in front of the reading library of Beicheng University, but she just didn't know who the person in the photo was.

Beicheng is cold in winter, and people wear thick down jackets outside, not to mention that it is a dark night, and it can only be seen from the back that it is a girl. It snowed, and the girl is holding the snowflakes and blowing them up.

Probably... rejoicing at the snow scene?
Qin Muzhou's circle of friends added a sentence: broken chapters.

Qiao Churan understood it immediately. The poet Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter": You stand on the bridge to see the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you upstairs.The bright moon adorns your windows, and you adorn other people's dreams.

Qiao Churan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, which he couldn't explain.

Scrolling up, there is a group photo. On the basketball court, four boys are wearing ball uniforms, and one of them stretched out a hand. It should be the person who took the photo. Using the visual illusion of intersecting distance and near, he made funny moves on Qin Muzhou's head. , These people's smiles were flying wantonly, with the youth and high spirits of campus college students, Qiao Churan recognized that this was the basketball court of Beicheng University, and there was an iconic building in the gymnasium behind it.

Scrolling up, it is a photo taken in the middle of the night. The distant mountains are blurry, and the starry sky is very beautiful.

The time is July 2013, 6.

It happened to be the night of Qiao Churan's graduation. She couldn't help but think of the night of graduation. It was raining in Beicheng and there were no stars in the sky.

Scrolling up, there is the latest circle of friends, which was posted in September this year. It is the old green gate of Wuxi Town Agricultural Economics and Economics Society. There is only one sentence: "I'm here."

Qiao Churan stared blankly for a while. Two of Qin Muzhou's four circles of friends may be related to girls.
She felt that this senior was a male student with a story.

After deciding to stay in the countryside to grow cantaloupe and getting Chen Mei's approval, Qiao Churan started to prepare.

The first is to build a greenhouse, and to look at the varieties and choose melon seedlings.

But she didn't know that at the same time, Qingxi Village was spreading a lot of rumors about her.

"What happened to the eldest daughter of the Qiao family? Suddenly came back to farm?"

"I heard from her mother that she worked in the provincial capital after graduation. Why did she come back suddenly? Did something happen in the provincial capital?"

"It's been said that studying is useless, so what about college students, and I don't know how to come back to be a farmer in the end."

"Poor thing, her parents have worked hard for more than ten years, and they have raised a college student. They want to go back to their hometown to farm, and they are not as capable as those who graduated from junior high school and went to work. Hey, girl, no matter how good you are at school, that's okay. Not as good as others."

"It's a pity. If my daughter is like this, I will break her leg. There is no way out for her to go back to the village."

"The eldest daughter of the Qiao family was born with a healthy body. Among other things, it's better to catch a rich man in the city than to go home. This, isn't this hurting my parents!"

"..."

Naturally, these words would not be said in front of Chen Mei or Qiao Churan, but they still reached the mouths of Qiao's family.

Qingxi Village is only that big, with hundreds of households. By the time Chen Mei and Qiao Churan heard the news, it had already spread.

Chen Mei heard some rumors and was so angry that she couldn't eat.

"My daughter still uses them!"

"If you can't eat grapes, say the grapes are sour! Jealousy, they are jealous!"

"Even if my daughter returns to her hometown to farm, she will be more promising than them!"

It was different from Chen Mei's reaction. Qiao Churan heard these words as well.

Seeing that Chen Mei was so angry at this moment, she turned to comfort her: "Mom, don't be angry, we don't care about other people's mouths. Now I just said that because I didn't do anything. Wait until I really plant something. If I come out, others will naturally stop talking about me."

Chen Mei said angrily, "Are they making fun of you for planting melons? They are making fun of you for over ten years of reading for nothing, and you want to go back to your hometown to be a farmer relying on the sky!"

Although she defended her daughter in front of outsiders and promised to let Qiao Churan try growing melons at home, she still disagreed in her heart.

Qiao Churan blinked: "Then I don't rely on the sky, I grow scientifically, that's all right, don't pay attention to those words, you also know that people are jealous, the more jealous they are, the better your daughter is." , you should be happy."

Chen Mei looked at Qiao Churan who was not angry at all, "Look at you, you are so pretty!"

After comforting Chen Mei, Qiao Churan said: "According to the weather here, it should be planted by the end of February, and some preliminary preparations are about to start. Mom, I'm going to the town to look at the materials these two days. Buy some plastic film and build a greenhouse."

Chen Mei simply didn't understand these things, so she let Qiao Churan to toss about.

On the other hand, Yan Xiaoyu and Fang Shanshan, two best friends, came to the door and locked Qiao Churan in her room with serious faces: "Do you really want to grow cantaloupe at home?"

"Could it be fake?" Qiao Churan laughed and said, "Isn't this something I've said before? How come your reaction is bigger than the first time I heard about it?"

Yan Xiaoyu and Fang Shanshan looked at each other, and Fang Shanshan immediately took out the stethoscope from her pocket: "Let me see if you are sick, you little girl, why come back to farm after two years of wild life!"

Yan Xiaoyu held Qiao Churan down.

Qiao Churan was ticklish and couldn't stop laughing, "Don't, don't, Shanshan, stop making trouble!"

Yan Xiaoyu and Fang Shanshan didn't really want to quarrel with Qiao Churan, they sat down and said angrily, "You man! I really can't say anything about you!"

"What are you talking about? When the time comes, I'll plant them and treat you to eat melons every day, okay?"

Although the two of them couldn't understand the decision of the good sisters, they had to support it. Just thinking about the rumors outside, they felt very unwilling: "Qiao Ranran, you just plant it! Let those people see, Qiao Churan This woman is not only a school bully, but also a farm bully among peasants! Now everyone is not optimistic about you, but in the future, let's watch you get rich!"

Qiao Churan: "...Sister, I have a good word from you!"
