I live in the countryside

Chapter 49 I'm busy dating (first order 4)

After lunch at grandma's house, the whole family sat down to chat again. During the conversation, Qiao Churan heard grandpa and uncle talk about the planting of camellia oleifera trees on the back mountain.

Grandpa sighed: "It is estimated that after two years of planting, no one will take care of it. Now young people go out to work, and the old people like us take care of them at home. After another two years, they will not be able to do it anymore, so let's just leave it there. .”

Behind Liu Village is a large area of ​​earthen hills. When the fields were divided back then, almost every household allocated at least ten acres of hills, but most of them were abandoned. Only every household planted some oil tea trees, but this thing is not To make money, I only use it for myself, so now I just keep planting it there, and I don’t bother to take care of it. When the time comes, I will harvest the seeds and squeeze the oil.

My uncle and the others are now working and settling in Longcheng, so naturally they don't waste time dealing with these things, so they can only say: "If you don't do it, just leave it there, don't worry about it, you two are at home, so don't do these hard things anymore. Things, how many of us are siblings, can't we afford to support your two parents?"

Grandpa smiled and said, "I know you can do it, but if we sit at home all day and do nothing, we will feel uncomfortable."

Originally, my uncle wanted to bring my grandpa and grandma to live together in Longcheng, but the two old people were used to the countryside, so they refused to go anyway. Fortunately, they can still take care of themselves now, and Chen Mei didn't marry far away, so they let the two old people stay at home. living.

This kind of thing is said every year, and my uncle really has no way to persuade him.

Grandpa sighed: "I heard some people say that if you cut down the camellia tree and plant eucalyptus, the eucalyptus will be sold after three to five years, which is better than the camellia tree."

Qiao Churan frowned when she heard this, but her uncle had already talked about other topics, and grandpa only sighed a few words and stopped talking about it.

It was after evening that Qiao Churan's family returned from their grandmother's house.

It was still uncle who drove people off.

Passing by the town on the way back, Qiao Churan seemed to see a familiar figure in the hazy night.

She identified it carefully, and found that it was Qin Muzhou's figure. He seemed to be holding a box of fireworks in his hands.

People riding electric vehicles and motorcycles come and go around, and the three-horse carriage on the road is full of lively guests visiting relatives.

Because of the New Year, people who went out came back one after another, beaming, and there were many more cars in the town, and everyone was very happy. He was alone, as if he was alone.

Qiao Yida dazzled: "Isn't that Brother Qin?"

"Who is it?" asked the uncle who was driving.

In an instant, the car drove away quickly, passing Qin Muzhou, and my uncle only had time to see a young man.

Chen Mei glanced back and explained: "Oh, it's a young man from the town who works in the Agricultural Economics Society. Ranran and Ranran are from the same university, but he's a graduate student. He's amazing."

Uncle was surprised, "Not from our Chaoyang County?"

"No, he is from the north. I guess he was assigned to work here." Speaking of Qin Muzhou, Chen Mei couldn't finish talking. She told her uncle how Qin Muzhou helped Qiao Churan, helped her with loans, built a greenhouse, After the Chinese New Year, I also helped to buy seeds.

After speaking, he still did not forget to sigh, "This child, with a solid heart, even if he stays in the town alone after the Chinese New Year, it will be desolate."

The uncle raised his eyebrows: "Ranran, you, a classmate, are kind enough to help you."

Qiao Churan: "...uncle, that's my job."

Uncle was noncommittal, "Since you are a classmate, you should get in touch more. These days, if you have more friends, you will have more ways to go."

Qiao Churan was silent.

Uncle, I want more than friends, I also want you to have more nieces and sons-in-law.

In the evening, Qiao Churan sent Qin Muzhou a wechat message, saying that she came back from her grandmother's house at night and saw him in the town.

Qin Muzhou explained that he went to buy some fireworks, and then dyed Qiao Chu a few photos of the explosion in the sky, and two videos that he recorded himself.

Qiao Churan opened it to take a look: "It's beautiful!"

Qin Muzhou replied: "It's boring to celebrate the New Year alone. I have nothing to do. When I saw the children next door setting off fireworks, I bought a few and came back to play."

Qiao Churan felt a strong sense of loneliness from this sentence, and instantly imagined Qin Muzhou's lonely back.

She thought, if Qin Muzhou was her boyfriend, she would definitely bring him back for the New Year.

But not now, he is just her senior brother.

Qiao Churan's nose was slightly sore, and he replied: "Brother, if you are fine tomorrow, I will take you to Wuxi Town, or Dongshui Town next door? The scenery here is still okay."

Worried that her words were too abrupt, Qiao Churan hurriedly added: "I'm going to take some photos."

Qin Muzhou replied: "I can't wish for it. I've been here for a while, but I haven't actually been to many places. I just picked up the car a year ago, and I haven't been out yet. Shall I pick you up?"

Qiao Churan readily agreed.

And she didn't know, on the other side.

In Qin Muzhou's WeChat group of four, his friend Shen Yi posted a picture of playing mahjong: "Old Qin, is it boring and lonely to celebrate the New Year in the south alone?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that there is no one to drink with." Zheng Dongliu then sent a message.

"Since you're not free, I'll send you something to do for me as a pastime. Let's see how kind my brother treats you?"

Qin Muzhou sneered: "I'm not free, I'm not bored, I'm busy with my girlfriend."

Five seconds later, Qin Muzhou received a message: You have been removed from the group chat.

He laughed, apparently unconcerned.

Looking at the message from Qiao Churan, he curled his lips together: "You decide where to go tomorrow. I'll pick you up at Qingxi Village at ten o'clock?"

Almost at the same time, Zhou Lei sent him a message: "It's boring, it's already the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the shift has passed, why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year, the scenery here is not bad."

"Hey, we eat a lot of fish and meat during the Chinese New Year. It's all the delicacies of our Chaoyang County. You haven't eaten enough yet, have you?"

Qin Muzhou: "No time, busy with dating."

Lei Zhou:"……"

Looking at the well-dressed clothes, she is not as good as a beast. Xiao Qiao is your girlfriend, so you just pretend to be passionate and go on a date?

On the other side, Qiao Churan had just typed the word "okay" in the reply box, when the page suddenly flashed a call to remind her, she was startled.

But seeing an unfamiliar call, after hesitating for a while, he still answered: "Hi, I'm Qiao Churan."

"It's me, I'm Lin Wen." A smiling voice came from the phone.

Qiao Churan was stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly, why does Lin Wen have her phone number, did the third aunt give it to her?
"Hello, what's the matter?" Qiao Churan asked, her tone was businesslike and very polite.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wen was a little dissatisfied, and he lost the politeness he had in front of his elders: "Why are you so out of touch? I know, it turns out that my dad still knows your uncle. When they were young, they were in the same middle school. I’m in my hometown these days, so I’ll ask you if I have time. I’ll drive you to play tomorrow.”

The uncle gave it to me. Why did the uncle get involved in this matter? What she said to the uncle's mother today was all for nothing.

Qiao Churan felt a little blocked, frowned, and said in a rather cold tone, "No, I don't have time tomorrow."

"What about the day after tomorrow?" Lin Wen continued to ask: "I have a few friends, we all go out to play together, otherwise it would be boring to stay at home during the Chinese New Year, and there is nothing interesting in this place."

Perhaps because of boycotting blind dates, even Qiao Churan didn't like contact with Lin Wen, so he explicitly rejected Lin Wen again.

But Lin Wen was not very happy: "My aunt introduced us to each other, and your relatives are also very optimistic. You must know what it means. You can't call me out to play. How can we develop?"

Qiao Churan said: "The elders mean the elders. To be honest, I don't have such thoughts at the moment."

Her attitude that day was displayed like that, as long as Lin Wen is not a fool, he can see what it means, and now he is calling?

Lin Wen was dissatisfied: "You have reached this age."

At this age, what age is she at this age.

Qiao Churan found it funny and absurd, but she was just an irrelevant person, and she had no intention of arguing, and said again: "I'm sorry, I think I'm a good age, if you have any misunderstanding, I'm sorry, maybe It's because I didn't make it clear, I really didn't mean that, and I don't have time, my third aunt may just be more anxious about my affairs, but I don't think we need to continue to develop."

Speaking of this, there was a sudden click in the room, and it was completely dark.

Over there, Lin Wen was still saying what he didn't know if he didn't look around, Qiao Churan frowned, his eyes hadn't adapted to the darkness yet: "I have something to do here, hang up first."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and walked out the door in the dark: "Mom and Dad, what's going on?"

Just talking, the phone call just hung up came again, Qiao Churan held back his temper, and picked it up again.

Lin Wen, who was rejected, did not have a very good tone: "I have such a condition, why do you look down on me? The rejection is so fast. In Chaoyang County, I don't know how many people want to marry into our family."

Qiao Churan listened to the arrogant words on the phone, and said indifferently: "Really, then I wish you an early wedding."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Qiao Yiyao went out with a flashlight, just when she heard Qiao Churan's words, she gave her a strange look.

Qiao Churan showed no obvious emotion on his face, and glanced at his younger brother: "What's going on?"

Qiao Zongming lit a candle and came from the east room: "The voltage in the village is down. It's like this during the Chinese New Year. Everyone is back, and the electricity consumption is too much. The voltage in our village can't come up. It's okay. I'll call it later."

On New Year's Eve, it was the same. The power was cut off for half an hour before it came back again.

Qingxi Village is like this every year or when there is a lot of electricity consumption. Qiao Churan thought that there was something wrong with the wiring at home. Hearing what Qiao Zongming said, he felt relieved.

When she lit a candle and looked at her phone again, she saw a message from Qin Muzhou: "As long as you like it."

Later, he sent another sentence: "Where is the person, why is it missing?"

Another one: "Ranran?"

Qiao Churan: "?"

Looking up, she patted her forehead. She originally wanted to send the word "Okay", but maybe because of the phone call that came in suddenly at that time, she made a mistake and changed it to "Good love", so she just sent it like this Give it to Qin Muzhou.

A little embarrassing...

Qiao Churan replied weakly: "I sent the wrong message..."

Qin Muzhou: "?"

Qiao Churan was powerless: "I wanted to send it...I made a mistake...I went to answer the phone just now."

Over there, Qin Muzhou laughed softly. To be honest, when he saw these two words, his heart jumped violently, but he recovered quickly. He knew that the girl sent it by mistake, but he still couldn't help it. Tease her.

Sure enough.

Qin Muzhou replied: "Then see you tomorrow."

Qiao Churan sent back a "hmm" emoji, which was very cute.

However, this night, Qingxi Village did not call again.

　Today is still Qin Muzhou who is handsome on the surface but actually sullen and doggy
