Chapter 160 Very, very warm

Susie suddenly realized that her relationship with Qiao Mu was different now. He was now her boyfriend. She had been out for so long, so she should have told him anyway.

Thinking of this, Susie coughed slightly and looked away.

Qiao Mu walked towards Susie and stood in front of her, "Back?"

Susie nodded guiltily.

Qiao Mu stopped talking and just stood in front of her, looking down at her slightly.

Susie felt uncomfortable looking at him. There were many people in the kitchen!

She pointed at Qiao Mu's face and said, "Go wash it, there's a lot of dust."

Qiao Mu lowered his eyes and went to get water to wash his face.

Su Qian quickly went to help Zhao Tingting light the fire.

During the meal, Qiao Mu sat opposite Susie, his eyes almost never leaving Susie.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little strange, and even Yuan Gang, who had always been honest and honest, felt something was wrong.

He looked at Qiao Mu, at Su Qian, and then at Tian Xiaohui's winking smile across from him, and suddenly understood something.

After eating, Su Qian and Zhao Tingting cleared away the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks. Su Qian rolled up her sleeves and was about to wash the dishes when Zhao Tingting suddenly nudged her, "If someone is looking for you, go quickly."

Susie followed her gaze and looked outside, and saw Qiao Mu changing into a military coat at some point and wandering back and forth outside the kitchen house.

Su Qian looked at the bowls in the pot, and Zhao Tingting said: "Go ahead, I'll wash these bowls."

She smiled at Zhao Tingting and went out.

When Qiao Mu saw her, he turned around and walked toward the back mountain. Susie followed him quietly.

She couldn't help but look at the back of the tree in front of her.

He was wearing a military coat, which can be said to be the most fashionable clothing of this era. Susie saw many people wearing it in the provincial capital and felt that they all looked cowardly, but Qiao Mu was wearing something completely different.

Qiao Mu is tall and thin, with broad shoulders and an upright figure. The military coat worn on him looks like a male model's catwalk style.

When the two of them went to the back of the house, Qiao Mu slowed down. When Susie came up and stood side by side with him, he grabbed Susie's hand.

He didn't look at her, took her hand and walked up the mountain silently.

After walking for a while and reaching a piece of flat land, Qiao Mu suddenly stopped and pulled Susie. Susie was unprepared and ran into his arms.

Qiao Mu closed his eyes and hugged her tightly.

During the twenty days she was away, he spent almost every day in suffering.

Whenever he has free time, he will think about where she is now, who is she with, and what is she doing?

He knew that what he was doing was abnormal, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

No matter what he was doing, he would always think of her.

It wasn't until the moment he saw her today that all his worries and uneasiness temporarily let go.

Holding her in his arms, he felt that she was real and that she belonged to him.

Susie was about to push Qiao Mu away, but then she thought that she had ignored him this time. It was normal for him to feel uneasy and aggrieved, and his emotions needed to be vented.

Feeling a little guilty, she slowly stretched out her hand and patted Qiao Mu's back gently.

Just such a simple movement made Qiao Mu's heart beat fast, and he hugged Susie tighter.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while. Susie felt that Qiao Mu's emotions had been sufficiently comforted, so she struggled slightly.

Qiao Mu let go of her, gently held her waist with both hands, and looked down into her eyes, "Where have you been for so long?"

Susie raised her head slightly and looked at him, smiling sweetly, "I'm going out to make money."

Qiao Mu looked at her and said in a low voice, "Next time you go out, can you let me go with you?"

He couldn't stand not seeing Susie.

Susie shook her head. It would be inappropriate for Qiao Mu to follow her.

In addition to spending one more person's travel expenses and increasing costs, it can be said that there is no benefit at all.

Qiao Mu didn't ask why. Susie obviously didn't want to tell her in detail about making money outside.

He was afraid that asking too many questions would make her unhappy.

Susie looked up at him and whispered: "I forgot to tell you this time when we went out. It was my fault. I won't do it next time."

A feeling of touching joy rose from the bottom of Qiao Mu's heart, and he nodded gently, "Okay."

It's extremely wet and cold in the mountains in December.

The two of them stood still. Susie felt that her feet were freezing. She stamped her feet and pulled Qiao Mu's clothes, "Let's go back. It's very cold."

Although Qiao Mu still wanted to stay with Susie for a while, he didn't want Susie to get cold. He grabbed Susie's hand and put both of their hands into the pockets of his military coat.

The two walked forward side by side.

Susie only felt that her hand held by Qiao Mu was particularly warm.

After the two came down from the mountain, Susie hurried back to the house. The weather was too cold and she really couldn't stay outside.

Not long after returning to the house, there was a knock on the door outside. Susie went to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Qiao Mu standing outside holding a charcoal basin.

Inside the charcoal basin was a newly lit charcoal fire. Qiao Mu entered the room and placed the charcoal basin next to Susie's bed.

Tian Xiaohui was laughing there in the back.

Qiao Mu'er's roots turned red and she quickly went out.

After Qiao Mu left, Tian Xiaohui ran over quickly and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, this boyfriend is so considerate. Sister Qian, I envy you so much."

Zhao Tingting, who was opposite, also pursed her lips and smiled. Then she moved a chair over and placed it next to the brazier. She smiled and said, "Let's follow Sister Qian to get some heat."

Tian Xiaohui also hurriedly moved the chair.

Even the cat ran out of its nest and lay down next to the charcoal basin.

At this time, there was another knock on the door.

When Susie opened the door, it was still an arbor.

He carried a sack on his shoulder. He entered the house and placed the sack in the corner, and then said: "It's full of charcoal. Don't save it, just burn it."

Tian Xiaohui suppressed her laughter and asked deliberately: "Qiao Mu, how much do we have to pay for so much charcoal?"

Susie glared at her quietly.

Qiao Mu's face turned red, "No money required." He said and walked out.

Susie followed, walked to the door, and whispered: "Thank you."

Qiao Mu turned to look at her, "No need to tell me thank you."

Susie stood at the door and looked at his back.

She regretted a little now, regretting agreeing to Qiao Mu to fall in love with him.

Qiao Mu was so kind and his feelings were so pure that she was really afraid that one day she would hurt him.

Qiao Mu seemed to notice something, took a few steps, stopped and looked back.

The two people's eyes met in mid-air, with tenderness in their eyes.

······

The next morning, everyone had breakfast together. Su Qian asked Zhu Zhicheng in a low voice, "How much charcoal have you made?"

Zhu Zhicheng said: "I don't know, I haven't weighed it, but it's packed in dozens of sacks. One bag is estimated to weigh more than a hundred kilograms."

Susie said: "Isn't that several thousand kilograms?"

"Then don't go up the mountain today. Let's go to the county town together to sell the charcoal."

Zhu Zhicheng nodded, "That's fine."

He had been working for almost a month, and it was almost the Chinese New Year. He also wanted to get money as soon as possible so that he could send it to his family.
