Although he was curious, Yao Hua quickly forgot about it after talking to Jin Bao for a while.
In the evening, he and Jinbao drove the ducks home from the river. On the way, they met several elderly villagers sitting leisurely in the field smoking dry cigarettes.
One of them smiled and said hello to Jin Bao in not very standard Mandarin.
"Jinbao," he said with a smile while smoking, "are you and Jiang Yun driving ducks home again today?"
"What Jiang Yun? You're a lame old man and your eyesight is dazzled before you reach sixty? That's the new educated youth."
The man who everyone called Lai Lao put down his cigarette and looked at Yao Hua carefully for a while, "Oh, I saw it wrong! I saw Jin Bao Lao and Jiang Yun together before, but I didn't pay attention this time. I thought it was with Jiang Yun again.
.
But you don’t blame me, they are about the same height, so it’s easy to mistake them from a distance.”
"They look nothing alike. The educated youths from this city have much whiter skin!"
When Jin Bao and Yao Hua had gone away, they were still chatting.
Yao Hua vaguely heard them saying: "I never thought that Old Su would take Jiang Yun in for so many years. I almost thought they were interested in him and wanted Jiang Yun to be his son-in-law."
"I have five sons, so what kind of son-in-law do I need?"
"That's not necessarily the case. They are not short of money. If they love their daughter, of course they should find a son-in-law."
"That's right. That kid Jiang Yun is sensible and capable. Unfortunately, something went wrong with his father. He has no land and no house. It will definitely be a problem to find a wife in the future. It would be great if he could marry Jinbao from the old Su family.
…”
The sound of their chat gradually disappeared from Yao Hua's ears.
Jin Bao noticed that Yao Hua's eyes were a little deeper and held his hand, "Ignore those boring people. They are too old to do any work. They gather together all day long and chat about other people's gossip. Zuo
Just put it in one ear and out the other."
"Yeah." Yao Hua responded softly, trying hard to hide his discomfort.
If Jin Bao had not left Jinghai City, the person who had been by her side should have been herself...
"Brother Huahua," Jinbao explained, "I only regard Brother Ayun as my elder brother, just like the fourth and fifth brothers. He is very nice. My parents think he is quite pitiful, so they treat him as their own son."
take care of.
What kind of son-in-law comes to your door? It’s nothing at all...
Besides, in two years, maybe one year, Brother Ayun's father will be reinstated, and he will definitely come to him and take him and Aunt Huang back to live in the county, and then their family can be reunited."
Yao Hua's eyes flashed with surprise, "Jin Bao, how can you be so sure that Jiang Yun's father can be reinstated? I feel that the mistakes his father made are quite serious. Even if he can regain his freedom, I'm afraid he will never be able to be a teacher again.
Already."
"I guessed it," Jin Bao said with a smile, "Anyway, I just think Brother Ayun's father can be reinstated as a teacher again."
Guess? It’s really not like what Jin Bao would say! Yao Hua felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden in Jin Bao.
"In short, Brother Huahua doesn't have to be unhappy because of Jiang Yun..."
Jin Bao took Yao Hua's hand, with a brisk smile in his bright eyes, "I like the way brother Hua Hua smiles. When you are with me in the future, you are not allowed to have a straight face anymore."
Her smile was warm and healing, and easily infected Yao Hua.
"Jin Bao," his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit. Yao Hua looked at Jin Bao deeply and couldn't help but ask, "You only regard Jiang Yun as your brother, just like Xiao Si and Xiao Wu. What about me? I want to know.
What do you take me for?"
When their eyes met, Jin Bao's face turned red for a moment, and he felt a little breathless as Yao Hua stared at him like this.
"Jinbao!" A familiar, cold voice came from afar, and Jinbao knew it was her third brother as soon as she heard it.
As if she had seen a savior, she hurriedly ran to her third brother without answering Yao Hua's question.
"Who is that person?" Su Wennian got off the bicycle with a confused tone.
When he looked at Yao Hua, Yao Hua also frowned and looked at him.
"It's Brother Huahua!" Jinbao tried hard to steady his abnormal heartbeat.
Su Wennian was surprised, "Yao Hua? Aunt Yang's son? He actually came to Luohu Village?"
Jinbao nodded and explained, "He came to the countryside to jump in the queue," and then asked with some confusion: "Third brother, why did you suddenly go home today? Tomorrow doesn't seem to be the weekend. Do you have a day off?"
"I was transferred..." Feeling that it was not easy to explain clearly, he patted his sister's head gently, "Let's talk about it inside the house. My parents should be at home, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Su Wennian passed Yao Hua while holding the bicycle, stared at his face for a while, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Did you come to Luohu Village to go to the countryside specifically for Jinbao?"
As if to tell Jin Bao, Yao Hua increased his voice and answered, "Yes!"
"How many years do you plan to stay? Two years? Three years? Will you wait until Jinbao is 18?" After saying that, Su Wennian said deliberately, "But although the legal age for marriage is now 18, with my dad's character, he
I definitely want to keep Jinbao by my side for a few more years."
Yao Hua clenched his fist tightly and said, "I will never leave Jinbao again."
The corners of Su Wenian's lips rose, but he smiled without saying a word.
Obviously, he didn't think Yao Hua would stay in Luohu Village forever.
After parking the bicycle, Su Wennian slowly spoke again, "It's best not to make a promise so quickly for things that can't be 100% certain. If Jinbao really likes you and you suddenly want to leave, Jinbao will be sad.
of."
His voice was very low, and he continued in a voice that only he and Yao Hua could hear: "I don't want Jin Bao to be sad."
"There is absolutely no way I can make Jin Bao sad!" Yao Hua said in an extremely sure tone.
"Really? But when you unilaterally cut off communication, although I knew you had no choice but to do so, Jin Bao was so sad at that time. She didn't want us to see it, and she deliberately pretended to be smiling..."
When Su Wennian said this, the gentle look in his eyes suddenly turned cold, "She finally forgot about you, and you show up like this again. I hope you can use your discretion.
If you have been going to the countryside for a year and a half and are going back to Jinghai City, please keep in touch with Jinbao as an ordinary friend, and don’t let Jinbao become stupidly attracted to you and wait for you again."
Jin Bao didn't understand what Yao Hua and San Ge were whispering behind them.
"Third brother?" She turned around, "What are you and Yao Hua talking about? So mysterious."
"It's nothing, I just feel that I haven't seen Yao Hua for a long time. Seeing that he has grown up so much, I can just chat with him casually." Su Wenian returned to his usual gentle smile and walked towards his sister.
Bai Lu walked out of the kitchen, "Wennian, why are you back so suddenly?"
"There is something I want to tell you." Su Wennian looked towards the stairs for a while, "Dad is upstairs?"
Bai Lu smiled and said, "He has nothing to do in the afternoon. He is probably giving lectures to Jiang Yun and Xiao Wu."
While they were talking, Jin Bao noticed that Yao Hua was always standing outside the door, with his head slightly lowered and looking a little strange, so he waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked doubtfully: "Brother Hua Hua, what's wrong with you? Just now.
