Scholars in the courtyard

The two of them hit the road and walked side by side.

Along the way, there was some silence.

Yang Xiaotao would also say hello to people from other villages, but when no one was around, neither of them spoke.

At this time, if I didn't have some thoughts in my heart, I wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Along the way, he passed by Qinjia Village. Yang Xiaotao subconsciously walked north outside the village.

He didn't want to enter this village.

Especially now, I don’t want to.

I couldn't help it when I was in the car. If I were to leave, I would definitely avoid it.

Yang Xiaotao walked north, and Ran Qiuye naturally wanted to follow.

At this time, in Qinjia Village, a girl wearing a half-sleeved plaid shirt was sitting at the street corner, looking towards the west road.

The girl has mastered Yang Xiaotao's routine and returns to the village every weekend.

This is her chance.

She felt sour in her heart when she thought that after her cousin got married in the city, she no longer had to work with the brigade and could only take care of her children and mother-in-law at home.

In terms of figure, she has grown and matured over the years. She is as convex as she should be and as curvy as she should be. She is even more attractive than her cousin.

In terms of appearance, the two of them are evenly matched. When she was young, her cousin was not as good as she is now.

In terms of age, her cousin was far behind her.

Thinking of this, she became more confident about going to the city.

As for getting older, everyone of the same age in the village is married, so what?

Doesn’t my cousin just keep putting it off?

In the end, he got a golden turtle son-in-law and became a city man.

She, Qin Jingru, is still young and still has the capital to wait for another two years.

But at this moment, Qin Jingru couldn't wait any longer.

I can't wait any longer.

Because she found the person she wanted to find most.

That person is Yang Xiaotao from the next village.

After I sent someone to inquire, the days I lived were called days.

Every time I come back, I have either meat or eggs on hand, I am well-dressed, and I have a watch on my hand. This is the life of a city dweller.

And I heard that they even spent 500 yuan for the primary school in the village.

How old is this? It only costs five hundred yuan. If this is the case in the future, how can it not be more?

Thinking of this, Qin Jingru knew that there was no better partner than now. As long as he was taken down, even her cousin would have to look at her face from now on.

What's more, this Yang Xiaotao is the man that my cousin gave up. As long as she marries him, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

Thinking of the days when she was a child, living in the shadow of her cousin and hearing other people's children, Qin Jingru felt happy.

"When the time comes, let's see who slaps whom in the face."

Qin Jingru was sitting on a stone bench by the roadside, thinking in trance. Many young men in the village came to strike up a conversation, but she sent them away and continued to wait.

snap

I don’t know how long it took, but there were fewer and fewer people on the road, but the sky was getting heavier and heavier.

A drop of rain hit her forehead, Qin Jingru felt the coolness in the air, and her heart instantly dropped.

Today was another day of unsuccessful hunting.

Get up and walk home.

This kind of clothes is something you can't wear on a daily basis. It would be distressing if it gets dirty.

Just when Qin Jingru returned home disappointed, Yang Xiaotao and the others had already left the Qu family's household and hurried to the city.

The sky is extremely gloomy, and if we slow down, we will get wet.

However, the more you fear something, the faster it will come.

snap

The rain fell on the ground and then hit him again.

Immediately, more and more raindrops fell.

"It's raining, let's go there to take shelter."

Yang Xiaotao looked around. He didn't dare to go into the woods, so he could only find a place to take shelter from the rain.

The rain in summer comes quickly, urgently and hard.

But it goes quickly, as long as you can hide for a while.

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the hillside where there were many big stones the year before last. It is said that there were people who used to sell stones, but now they have lost their business, leaving only a big stone pit.

"good."

Ran Qiuye didn't pay attention, but Yang Xiaotao had already taken the basket, took her hand and ran forward.

The raindrops in the sky were accelerating, and the two of them ran quickly to the pile of rocks. Many parts of their bodies were already wet by the rain.

Then Yang Xiaotao looked around and immediately took out a poncho from his backpack, which Yang Xiaotao redeemed from the system.

But considering the issue of provenance, I thought too much at the time, so I only exchanged one.

It's still the kind of super big one that rides an electric bike.

Yang Xiaotao opened the packaging bag, took out the poncho, and tied the hat with a rope to prevent rainwater from leaking.

Just put it on with a splash.

Then he called Ran Qiuye over.

Under the rain, Ran Qiuye had no idea. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had something to hide from the rain, he walked over and stood aside without thinking.

But without saying a word, Yang Xiaotao picked her up across the waist and held her tightly in his arms under her surprised gaze.

Ran Qiuye was a little scared by the sudden change, and his body instinctively wanted to move.

"do not move!"

Yang Xiaotao said something and put the poncho on top, and the surrounding area was enveloped.

The next moment, the raindrops from the sky flowed down like splashing water, and there was a popping sound from the poncho, covering everything around him.

Yang Xiaotao found a stone and sat down, then held Ran Qiuye in his arms and let the rain fall.

Ran Qiuye felt out of breath. She didn't know whether it was because of the stuffy poncho or because she was embarrassed by being held in Yang Xiaotao's arms.

Now, she only felt that Yang Xiaotao's arms were so strong and his chest was so broad, and she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.

Involuntarily, Ran Qiuye lay on Yang Xiaotao's chest, slowing down the rapid heartbeat due to excitement.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao's heart was also not calm, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.

The girl in my arms is not heavy, but full of temptation.

Especially the dream from last night still lingers in my mind. In this situation, the impression in my mind is getting more and more profound.

The rain whipped the earth, the surrounding sounds were stripped away, and the breathing of the two became clearer and clearer.

Plop

Plop

I don’t know how long passed, the two of them were silent

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, lowered his head, and looked at Ran Qiuye.

The two of them were very close and looked at each other.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Yang Xiaotao's heart, kissing her.

And, it’s getting stronger!

Ran Qiuye felt this enthusiasm. Originally, this was what he thought and longed for, but at this point, it turned out to be somewhat correct.

The palms of his hands were clenched unconsciously, with too much force, making them tremble a little.

The next moment, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but lowered his head slowly and came closer.

The next second, Ran Qiuye unclenched his fist and closed his eyes.

Lips touched.

Dry, then moist.

Yang Xiaotao hugged Ran Qiuye tightly.

Ran Qiuye's arms also quietly hooked around his neck.

The earthy smell after the soil has been washed by the rain is surrounded from all sides, but under the poncho, it is full of sweet smell.

After a long time, the two separated, their faces flushed.

After a kiss, even if there is no further action, the relationship has been established.

At this moment, the layer of paper between the two hearts was pierced.

"I like you, Comrade Ran Qiuye, are you willing to be my life partner?"

Yang Xiaotao used the characteristics of this era to speak in a serious manner, which is comparable to the disgusting love words of later generations.

Ran Qiuye nodded after a long time, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I, I like you too."

"I am willing to join you on the road of revolution, learn together, and make progress together."

After the words fell, Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye with a smile.

Ran Qiuye became even more shy, and then felt the firmness under her body, and her ears turned red.

Yang Xiaotao also noticed it, but said happily, "I'm not Liu Xiahui."

Ran Qiuye naturally knew who Liu Xiahui was, and also knew the famous allusion, so he could sit back and relax.

What Yang Xiaotao said couldn't be more clear.

It is precisely because of knowing this allusion that Ran Qiuye, who is sitting in Yang Xiaotao's arms, is even more shy.

"So, I'm not a saint. I also have needs and extravagant wishes."

"Besides, Qiuye, you are so beautiful!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke slowly. After hearing this, Ran Qiuye put her head close to her chest, feeling even more shy.

Yang Xiaotao tightened the girl in his arms and continued talking.

"You know? The first time I saw you in the library, I felt that I had seen this girl before, just like Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions met Sister Lin. That's the feeling..."

"...What I need is the same as most people. I just want to find a wife and live a peaceful life."

"After work, I go home and have food to eat, and usually read a book..."

The sound of rain continued, but no longer torrential, gentle breeze and drizzle.

Ran Qiuye in her arms listened quietly, and at this moment, her body actually calmed down.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Ran Qiuye lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, and then talked about the past.

"My family's situation is different from yours."

"My father went to Germany to study in his early years. After he came back, he had a mother under the arrangement of my grandma, and then we had three siblings..."

Ran Qiuye told her family affairs calmly, and her hands involuntarily clenched Yang Xiaotao's arm.

Yang Xiaotao listened quietly and knew what Ran Qiuye was worried about.

As a matter of Ran’s father, Ran Qiuye’s existence problem

Besides, Ran's father is still a student studying abroad, so it is conceivable that his status is not much better.

"What about your dad?"

After Yang Xiaotao heard the last word, he didn't hear the whereabouts of Ran's father from Ran Qiuye, so he asked.

Hearing this question, Ran Qiuye's eyes were slightly red, and tears had already gathered.

"Seven years ago, my mother, my little sister, and I carried my brother back to our parents' home. When we came back, there was a letter at home, and my father never showed up again. There has been no news in these years, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead. "

At this point, tears flowed down, and Ran Qiuye burst into tears.

Yang Xiaotao hugged the girl tightly and stroked her back with his arms, letting her vent her frustration and the hardships of life.

After a long time, Ran Qiuye raised his head, his eyes were red, and his cheeks were blurred with tears, which was particularly endearing.

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "It's okay. I believe he will come back sooner or later."

Yang Xiaotao comforted Ran Qiuye. This kind of thing also happened in the courtyard.

That's stupid.

In Yang Xiaotao's view, the reason why Shazhu's father He Daqing ran away with the White Widow was not as simple as the ruthless girl. There should be identity considerations involved, as he was afraid of dragging them down.

Unfortunately, He Daqing entrusted an inhumane person to throw Sha Zhu to a bunch of beasts in the courtyard, which indirectly harmed Sha Zhu and left him to die alone and helpless.

Of course, this is just Yang Xiaotao's own idea. The specifics may be wishful thinking.

But it might as well be used as a reference. Ran's father's behavior was probably to protect Ran Qiuye and his daughter.

It's hard to say that Ran's father is always paying attention to them now, but they don't know it.

Yang Xiaotao only guessed at these things and did not tell Ran Qiuye because he was afraid that she would think too much.

Ran Qiuye calmed down, rested her head on her shoulders, and hugged him tightly.

At this moment, she was afraid that Yang Xiaotao would suddenly leave her like her father.

Yang Xiaotao changed his position and hugged Ran Qiuye, "Don't be afraid. I'm here!"

Speaking softly, Ran Qiuye nodded.

"Am I heavy?"

Ran Qiuye whispered.

"No way, when I get married, I will make up for you."

"I don't want it. It's too fat. It's not good."

"Yeah, but you can't starve the child."

"Ah? You, you are so evil!"

"Ha ha"

The two chatted quietly, and the joyful atmosphere quickly dispelled the sadness, and their relationship became closer.

"The rain has stopped!"

Yang Xiaotao lifted up his raincoat and looked outside.

At this time, Ran Qiuye suddenly raised his head and pointed to the horizon in the distance.

"Look, it's a rainbow!"

Yang Xiaotao also raised his head.

In mid-air, a rainbow appeared without knowing when, it was gorgeous and colorful, hanging there to point out the way forward.
