The man called Lao Wang said angrily: "Nonsense, you are helpless in a foreign country, and you are not afraid of such a big virus, aren't you?"
The man thought of himself at that time and nodded rather embarrassedly.
Everyone present laughed.
"Yeah, I heard that a lot of people died because they didn't get timely treatment. The village and town where we are is considered to have a relatively small spread of the disease. The number of people who got sick is really small compared to other places. Too many." One girl sighed.
After hearing this, everyone suddenly fell into a low pressure.
"Hey, have you heard? There are also volunteers coming to the village and town where we are. I heard from people they met that one of them is very handsome." A girl said intentionally to liven up the atmosphere.
"I've seen them, I've seen them!" a girl said excitedly: "I bumped into them as soon as they got off the car today. I happened to go to the canteen and saw them entering the hotel next door. Those men were all quite handsome. , the average person is 1.85 meters."
"You're handsome and kind, so you'll get a lot of points, okay?"
"There aren't many handsome men like this nowadays."
The girls got more and more excited as they chatted, and even discussed meeting each other tomorrow.
Jiang Nan listened at the side, a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. When she raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of the helpless expressions of the boys, she suddenly wanted to laugh even more.
...
Early the next morning, Jiang Nan went to fetch water with a kettle, and happened to run into the girls. They greeted each other.
Jiang Nan didn't think too much and asked casually: "Where are you going?"
During these days in West Asia, they had already become familiar with each other, not to mention that their friendship was now "life-long".
Jiang Nan feels that she is very lucky now that she can get to know so many people one day. Among them, she is natural and casual.
"Would you like to meet a handsome guy by chance?" one of the girls asked mysteriously.
Jiang Nan was a little surprised. She thought they were joking last night, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She raised the kettle in her hand and joked: "I won't go, there is still life to be continued."
The girls smiled at each other, said goodbye and left.
Jiang Nan was walking along carrying the kettle and met many people dressed as doctors and nurses. Those people passed by her in a hurry. Jiang Nan lowered her head slightly and looked at the road under her feet.
After walking a long way, Jiang Nan arrived at the place where she fetched water. It was the only well in the town. It took a lot of effort for her to pick up the water and put it into the kettle.
On the way back, Jiang Nan seemed to be struggling a little while carrying the kettle filled with water. After a while, she had to stop and take a rest. She walked slowly, and for the first time she had some free time, and she carefully observed herself. A place where I stayed for several months.
This village is beautiful, with a quaint feel, and the kind of scenery that only appears in Western romance movies.
Jiang Nan passed by a house and saw an old lady with white hair in the yard of the house moving a flower pot that was almost half a meter high, as if she was moving it to another place.
She seemed to be struggling.
The old lady saw her and said with difficulty: "Hey, can you help me move this flower pot?"
Of course Jiang Nan would not refuse. She walked in quickly, put her kettle aside, and then picked up her sleeves to move the flowerpot.
"I want to move this flower pot to the backyard." The old lady said.
Although the people living here are not wealthy, they live in large houses, and each family has a beautifully maintained yard.
They take great care of their house.
"Okay." Jiang Nan responded.
Then he helped her lift the flower pot, but she felt very strenuous as soon as she lifted it up. The strength she had not exercised for a long time seemed not as strong as the old lady's strength.
Jiang Nan was a little embarrassed. She took a few steps and was out of breath. As she was getting tired, Jiang Nan noticed a pair of hands stretched out from under her hand, holding the flower pot firmly.
Their weight suddenly dropped a lot.
Those are a pair of beautiful men's hands.
Before Jiang Nan could recover, she heard the old lady's voice in her ear: "Oh, thank you."
"My pleasure." said a smooth male voice.
Jiang Nan's eyes widened for a moment and he looked up at the speaker.
She saw someone familiar.
With a faint smile on Zhou Zhengan's face, he nodded slightly to the old lady, then turned his eyes to meet Jiang Nan's unbelievable gaze.
Zhou Zhengan seemed completely unaware, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You want to be lazy?"
He spoke in Chinese this time, and the old lady couldn't understand it. She just thought that the two young men probably knew each other, and she smiled.
Jiang Nan was afraid that if she delayed the three of them, it would only become more and more difficult to carry this thing. She hurriedly put on more strength to lift the thing in her hand.
Jiang Nan didn't look at Zhou Zhengan again.
Despite what Zhou Zhengan said just now, Jiang Nan still felt that most of the weight actually belonged to him. As soon as he came, she felt that the things in her hands were much lighter.
They carried the things and put them down where the old lady said.
The old lady seemed a little happy after solving a big trouble. She kindly and sincerely thanked the two of them, and then said: "To express my gratitude, can I invite you to stay here for dinner today?"
Jiang Nan waved his hand, and just when he was about to say that there was no need to do this, Zhou Zhengan next to him replied first: "Of course, thank you."
"Great." The old lady clapped her hands, then hunched over and walked into the house in small steps, probably to prepare meals.
Zhou Zheng'an explained to Jiang Nan warmly: "If you had rejected her just now, she might not think you were being humble, but she would easily think you were unhappy."
Jiang Nan looked at him blankly, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock just now. She couldn't believe that Zhou Zhengan really appeared in front of her like this, like a dream.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Nan's voice sounded hollow.
Zhou Zhengan raised his lips: "Didn't I say that I would take you back?"
"Because of me?" Jiang Nan couldn't control his voice trembling slightly.
Zhou Zhengan: "Otherwise, for whom?"
Jiang Nan didn't speak for a while, her voice was a little hoarse, so much so that she couldn't even open her mouth. She looked at Zhou Zhengan, her eye circles gradually turning red.
Zhou Zhengan noticed that she was not in a good mood and his smile faded. He pretended to be relaxed and said: "You..."
Zhou Zhengan froze in place before he could say anything.
Jiang Nan hugged him tightly, relying on this long-lost embrace, and she said: "Zhou Zhengan, actually these days, I am also quite scared, I also miss home, I also look forward to being remembered, I also feel lonely......
Sometimes, I really want to find a shoulder to lean on. "
Then, you came along and my heart was filled.
Luckily there's you.
Zhou Zheng'an felt her sobbing gently. He stretched out his hand and gently patted the girl's back again and again.
Zhou Zhengan said nothing and waited quietly for the girl to calm down.
His warmth gave the girl the best comfort.
...
After the old lady prepared the meal, she invited them both to the dinner table. She cooked some ordinary meals, which could be seen as food commonly eaten by people in West Asia.
The table was steaming hot. Even though Jiang Nan was tired of eating the food, he still felt a little greedy at this moment, probably because he had not been a guest in a local's home yet.
Zhou Zheng'an couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw how greedy she was. She still looked like a little cat when she cried just now.
Under the warm hospitality of the old lady of the house owner, the three of them started to use their chopsticks. Although there were not many people, it seemed quite lively.
Zhou Zheng'an scooped up a piece of soft and glutinous mashed potatoes and put it into Jiang Nan's bowl.
Jiang Nan curled her lips at him, then lowered her head to eat.
The old lady happened to see all this. She smiled and said, "Do you know each other?"
"She is my wife." Zhou Zheng'an said.
The words that came out of his mouth were so beautiful, better than any love words in the world.
Rarely, Jiang Nan did not deny it this time.
"You are very loving." The old lady said sincerely.
"Thank you." Zhou Zhengan replied.
The old lady looked at them and suddenly felt a little emotional. From them, she seemed to see what she looked like when she was young. She slowly said: "My husband and I were as loving as you when we were young."
"Then your husband is now..." Jiang Nan asked curiously.
"He has passed away." The old lady was still smiling.
Jiang Nan opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, life and death are a normal thing." The old lady looked very open-minded. She seemed to recall the story of herself and her husband, and said to the two young people in front of her: "When my husband and I were very young, We just met. We were neighbors. He was very naughty and would smash my windows with rocks, but he would also teach the bad boys on the street a lesson for me. Everything about our marriage seemed logical. We even gave birth to a lovely daughter. , called Lu Xi.
When I was twenty-three years old, my husband died of cancer. Because of this, Ruthie chose to become a doctor. She is now an excellent doctor. I believe that if my husband knew about this, If nothing happens, I will definitely be happy for her. The old lady lowered her eyebrows and smiled kindly, "In a few years, I will be able to accompany my husband. I will tell him that I have taken good care of our daughter." "
She finished talking about the end of her life in the most cheerful and calm tone.
Jiang Nan became a little dull and depressed.
"I believe he will be proud of you." Zhou Zheng'an said.
Jiang Nan looked at him, then listened to him and said, "Your life is amazing."
The old lady smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face came together. She said: "Since Lu Xi got married and left here, I have been living alone. Now I am very happy to chat with you."
Jiang Nan also curled her lips, but not as cheerfully as Zhou Zhengan, but rather sad.
