Yu Shu and Yu's mother sent He Qing's family out. The two families didn't know what they had just said, and they got very close.
The two women held hands and said they wanted to go to the commune together. Father Yu also smiled and praised his father for his good drinking. They really looked like a family.
Yu Shu and He Qing fell behind them. He Qing approached her, turned sideways to block some of her sight, reached out to take Yu Shu's hand, and rubbed her fingers twice on the red and swollen area where she was bitten by mosquitoes.
"There are a lot of mosquitoes these days, so wear clothes with long sleeves at night."
"Where can my friend buy mosquito coils from the summer market? How about I bring it to you tomorrow and treat you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner?"
Mosquito-repellent incense is hard to buy now, at least in their small place, they don’t have it. Yu Shu heard that He Qing’s friend had it. Yu Shu’s eyes lit up after she had been bitten by mosquitoes in the past few days, and she nodded after thinking about it.
"How much did your friend buy it for? How many tickets do you need to bring with you?"
Seeing that she did not reject his closeness, He Qing squeezed the soft and boneless little hand in her hand, and his eyes became gentler.
"You don't need to bring it with you. My friend has borrowed a lot of money from me before. I'm afraid he won't accept it if I give him money now."
After the two said a few words, Yu Mu and the others in front seemed to have said enough and stopped to wait for them.
Before leaving, He Qing put several large unity cards in Yu Shu's hand. When she looked over in confusion, he lowered his head and spoke into her ear with a smile.
"Meeting gift, Shushu, see you tomorrow."
After seeing off the He family, Yu's mother asked Yu Shu on the way back.
"What do you think of that boy from the He family?"
The fact that Yu's mother could ask such a question was because she had changed her opinion of He Qing. Before today, she would have wanted to curse He Qing when she mentioned it, but how could she have spoken so calmly.
"It's okay." Yu Shu gave an intermediate answer.
Before meeting He Qing, Yu Shu had a very bad impression of him because of those dreams.
But after meeting the person and realizing that they were not the same person, and that she still had the feeling of wanting to be close to He Qing, Yu Shu's emotions towards him became complicated, similar to her initial emotions towards Shen Mu.
Moreover, Yu Shu discovered that He Qing and Shen Mu were obviously completely different people, but Yu Shu inexplicably felt that their auras were the same, as if they were the same person.
Yu Shu put aside this strange thought and heard Yu Mu say.
"He Qing's conditions are good, but our Shushu is not bad either. If you don't like her, don't force her. This is a lifelong matter, so you have to think about it first."
Mother Yu stroked her daughter's soft hair. She had absolute confidence in the little girl in the family. If she missed He Qing, there would be more gay men waiting for her daughter in the future. Why hang herself on a tree?
"Hey, I thought you were coaxed by Sister-in-law He to have two children." Father Yu touched the cigarette He Qing bought for him and said with a smile.
Yu's mother gave him a sideways look, "I've already said that it's my daughter who makes the decision. How can I be coaxed so easily into marrying my daughter to her family?"
Father Yu quickly begged for mercy, and praised Mother Yu again, skipping the matter.
The two of them were talking back and forth, Yu Shu was stuffed with dog food, and when she got home, she quickly slipped into the room.
When Yu Shu returned to the house, she closed the door to prevent mosquitoes from entering. She didn't see that just after she closed the door, the door next door opened a crack, and Shen Mu's figure was hidden in the darkness, and the aura around him was shockingly low.
Because she had to go to the commune, Yu Shu got up very early the next day. After going to the warehouse to register farm tools for everyone, she went home and rode her bicycle to the commune.
Her hurried look was interpreted differently in the eyes of the team members and educated youth.
"Didn't He Qing come to the captain's house yesterday? I heard that he is doing business in the commune these days. Is the girl from the Yu family going to the commune so early to see He Qing?"
The team members and educated youths who were still leaning on their feet to look at Yu Shu's back heard this, and their hearts trembled. Xiao Jiaojiao was about to go to another house, and the good mood she felt after talking to someone this morning suddenly disappeared.
