When the persimmons in Ma Xiaohui ripened, Qiao Miao and others went to the fields to help, and Sean also took the opportunity to appear in the sight of Ma Xiaohui's parents.
There are two people under a tree, a man and a woman. Ma Xiaohui is naturally with Sean. Qiao Miao wants to find Sun, but she wants to get there first. So I had to keep a straight face, reluctantly follow Gao Junhui, turn the picture frame upside down and buckle it on my head. Through the gap between vines, she followed his footsteps to stop, always keeping a certain distance.
Gao Junhui noticed that Qiao Miao's attitude towards him was wrong from the beginning, but because there were many people, it was not good to directly pull her aside to find out, so he had to wait patiently for their chance to be alone.
"Watch your step!" He stopped suddenly and turned to remind her.
But I heard Qiao Miao's voice saying "Ah" and the photo frame in his hand was thrown out. Fortunately, before falling to the ground, Gao Junhui quickly reached out and caught her in time.
"Don't worry? Did you hurt anywhere? " After helping her stand firm, Gao Junhui quickly squatted down to check her feet. Seeing that she was not injured, she stood up with confidence. But when he looked up at her eyes, he was surprised to find that her eyes were full of tears.
"Does it hurt? Did you hurt a bone? Tell me about you, can you walk with a frame on your head without wrestling? " Gao Junhui looked at her in distress situation. "Can you go? I'd better go behind your back to see Li Laotou! " He said, turning and squatting in front of her.
"Let you go, liar!" Qiao Miao bypassed him and limped to pick up her photo frame.
"Little thing, you stop!" Gao Junhui dragged her back, looked at her without any drift, and continued: "Even prisoners have the right to know their crimes! Tell me, how did I become a liar overnight? "
"You are a liar!" Joe tried not to cry. "I know what I did that night might make you think I was frivolous and casual ..." She glared at him with tears in her eyes. "Now that you have decided to marry her, why bother me again?" After that, she shook off his hand, picked up the photo frame on the ground, sat under the persimmon tree in grievance and buried her head in her arms.
"Who told you I was going to marry her?" Gao Junhui walked over and sat next to her.
"MISS ZHOU said it himself, at my wife's house. Say you're getting married next year, then tell her brother! " Qiao Miao cried and said that she didn't want to look up at him.
"So this is why you love to ignore me today?" Gao Junhui said, got up and left.
"Where are you going?" Qiao Miao looked up and grabbed his hand.
"Call Shao Bin and Sean because I think their explanation will be more convincing in this matter."
"Don't!" Qiao Miao jumped up and stopped in front of him with open arms. "I want to hear you say. If I can't believe what you say, then there is no future between us. "
"You can do something. Although there is no guarantee that I will be so lucky every time, at least I have a witness this time. " Gao Junhui looked at her with a serious face.
"Uh-huh, I think it over. Although I am not sure whether it will be necessary in the future, at least not this time. " Qiao Miao raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"all right! After seeing you off and going home that night, Sean and I called Sun together and planned to go to a restaurant for a drink. As soon as I entered, I met Zhou Xiaojie's brother, who staggered out and clamoured to join us. Later, in the middle of drinking, her brother suddenly said that the family hoped that Zhou Xiaojie and I could get married before the end of next year.
After I made it clear that I wanted to break off the engagement as soon as possible, his brother immediately stood up, grabbed the bottle at hand and prepared to throw it at me. If it weren't for Shao Bin and Sean, they would have stopped halfway. It is estimated that the ending of that night will not be as simple as breaking up in discord. "Gao Junhui eyes looking at the distance. Although he knew Qiao Miao had every reason to be angry, he was deeply hurt because she easily trusted others and questioned her feelings.
"I'm sorry ~, I know clearly in my heart that Zhou Xiaojie is lying, but I still can't help it ..." Qiao Miao gently pulled his sleeve! Shamefully, I can't wait to find a hole to get into. Now she can basically determine that Zhou Xiaojie's words were deliberately said to herself. She was really taken in.
"Xin Wei, do you know?" He withdrew his eyes and turned to her. "I have the courage to stand on the opposite side of everyone, because you are on my side."
Qiao Miao nodded, tears pattering down. Gao Junhui wants to hold her in his arms and let her feel the burning fire in his chest.
He is very clear about Zhou Xiaojie's character of never letting go easily, and he also knows that as long as this engagement is not lifted one day, Qiao Miao's trust in himself will inevitably waver back and forth like today. But the time is not yet ripe, because he needs time to prepare for the worst result.
Sunlight fell from the sky, penetrated the branches and leaves at the top and sprinkled on Sean's face. He squinted and raised his head, trying to find a complete persimmon among a pile of persimmons left by birds. He leaned against a relatively heavy branch, reached for it and handed it to Ma Xiaohui, who was busy putting the persimmon in her hand into the box. Some branches were forced to bow before her because they could not bear the weight of many fruits.
"Wow, look at this red, it's really nice! Look for it again and choose one for Miao! " Ma Xiaohui happily took the persimmon, took out a handkerchief prepared in his pocket and wiped it. It seems that he can't bear to put it in his mouth.
"Hui that boy in, return afraid Qiao Miao didn't eat persimmon? Seeing that he is fascinated by that girl, let alone persimmons, even if he wants his heart and liver, I guess he can give it to her at once. " Sean smiled, picked the edges in his hands and put them in a cloth bag to hang around his neck.
They grew up naked together and went to school together. In his impression, Gao Junhui has always been the kind of character who is more ambitious and less affectionate about his career. This is the first time he has seen him so nervous and determined to find a girl.
"How nice! I want you to give it to me, too. " Ma Xiaohui looked up at him and blocked the dazzling light with one hand.
"What?"
"heart! What else can you do? "
"Knife, pay you now! Save trouble every day. "
"You are so annoying that you will never be serious." Ma Xiaohui snorted and gave him an angry white look.
Sean got down from the tree, crouched down and poured the persimmon in the bag into the photo frame on the ground. Then I stood up and walked up to Ma Xiaohui, kissed her pouting mouth, and jokingly asked, "Where are you going to put my heart?"
"Our bookworm's lunch!" She pushed him away and ate the persimmon in her hand.
"It's really' the most poisonous' but a woman's heart!" Sean sighed, shook his head helplessly and climbed up the tree again. "However, on the other hand, did you just notice Sun's eyes when you were there? Does she like Sun Shaobin? " Sean said, looking up ahead. And Sun could see clearly from where he stood, because they were sandwiched between several people.
"no! She came back from the carton factory less than a month ago! " Ma Xiaohui leaned back and looked in the direction of her sister.
"Well done, why did you suddenly come back?"
"That is to say! But it may have something to do with my sister. Nine times out of ten, my aunt is not at ease. After all, no one can say for sure about feelings. "
"Your parents still don't agree? I mean your sister. " Sean stopped his action, waiting to hear Ma Xiaohui's answer.
"Well, my dad seems a little loose, but my mom said that if she insisted on marrying each other, she would never expect to set foot in this house again." Ma Xiaohui sighed, worried about her sister, but also worried about her and Sean's hopeless future.
"That is to say, the act of proposing to your family at this time is obviously a bump?" Sean actually knows the answer in his heart. As far as their family is concerned, it is almost impossible to persuade Ma Xiaohui's parents to agree to their marriage, unless he can build the house before marriage. However, it is not easy for him to support the whole family by himself, let alone build a house. He even thought that even if the Ma family let him jump in, he could consider accepting it. Unfortunately, there is a brother in Ma Xiaohui, so it is more likely that this road will not work.
Ma Xiaohui didn't speak because he didn't know how to answer. She sometimes thinks that if she could love Sean less, maybe their situation would not be as difficult as it is now. She just wants to encourage him to look on the positive side, at least her love for him is firm. Even if one day he wants her to abandon everything and go with him, she Ma Xiaohui is also the kind of strong-willed woman who never drags her feet and is willing to throw caution to the wind for love.
While they were chatting, Sean saw smoke coming from the orchard not far away. At first, he didn't care too much, thinking that the gardener was cleaning up some dead branches and leaves inside. It was not until the black smoke column accompanied by obvious flames formed a rolling cloud in the sky that he realized that there might be a fire. So I quickly asked Sun and them to come down from the tree, and they went to see if it was an accident or someone deliberately set the fire.
This is a slender orchard surrounded by earth walls. There are lush red apples hanging from the branches on the wall. There is a heavy black lock on the front door where the boards are spliced. Inside the fence, a group of frightened hens fluttered and cackled under the tree.
Sean and others went around to the back of the garden, because the fire started there and only spread to about one third of the place. Ma Xiaohui and her mother ran to call the owner of the orchard. Qiao Miao and Ma Xiaoyan followed Gao Junhui. They panicked and didn't know what to do.
The cries of several children crackled the fire. They found a gap made of bricks, shorter than the fence. "The children didn't climb in here, did they?" Sun Shaobin muttered. But the problem is that the fire is so big that even the bricks are hot that they can't climb over the wall from there.
"Don't be afraid, we'll go in and get you out!" Qiao Miao shouted at the top of her lungs, and Ma Xiaoyan followed her, trying to make the people inside less afraid. But a response that quickly reached her ears almost froze her blood instantly.
Qiao Miao turned pale, frantically rushed back to the front door, picked up a stone, and worked hard to smash the big black lock on the door. Once or twice, whether the stone will cut her hand or roll down and hit her foot. Startled, he ran to call Sun and them.
The door bolt was smashed, but the lock remained unmoved. Sun Shaobin rushed in front to stop her, because her hand was obviously cut by a sharp stone. Qiao Miao hysterically shouted "Don't bother me", then grabbed the stone from his hand and continued to smash it. It was not until Gao Junhui and Sean arrived that she was forcibly pulled away.
"Let me smash, Joe ~ Jun, Nei!" She almost knelt in front of them, her blood on Gao Junhui's sleeve.
"Xin Wei, you listen, the three of us are now trying to climb over the wall, and you and Xiaoyan are waiting for Ma Xiaohui to come here, huh? Don't knock on the door and hurt yourself again, okay? " Gao Junhui didn't give her a chance to answer, so Ma Xiaoyan was responsible for watching her, and then they were ready to climb the ladder.
Sean squatted down, and Gao Junhui was the first to turn over on his shoulder, followed by Sun. Qiao Miao sent Zou Xiaoyan, and they followed closely and wanted to follow. Sean couldn't help her, so he stepped on it first, then got up slowly and pushed her against the wall with his height. Qiao Miao turned to lie prone on the wall, first reached the henhouse with his toes (the chickens were crowded in), and then jumped to the ground from above.
Hui and others walked along the passage in the middle of the fruit trees until they were blocked by another wall, which explained why the fire did not spread here. Before going in, he took off his coat and soaked it in the water tank beside the henhouse, then took it out and put it on his head. Sun Shaobin simply scooped a few spoonfuls of water and poured himself completely from top to bottom.
Qiao Miao didn't do any protective measures, anxiously directly through the door, rushed to the inside. Black smoke, neat fruit and wood firewood piled up against the wall, was wantonly swallowed by the orange-red flame. She found that she couldn't open her mouth and shout Qiao Jun's name, so she had to cover her nose and mouth with sleeves and hobble inside.
Ma Xiaohui, they came with the owner of the orchard and several neighbors. Because the water pipe is not long enough, everyone can only wait outside the small door, holding buckets and pots to receive water and pour it inside. Qiao Jun and four other children were carried out one after another. Most people were frightened except that one arm was burned.
Sun Shaobin picked up the hose, took a long drink into his mouth, and then squatted down panting. Gao Junhui put down Qiao Jun and looked for Qiao Miao in the crowd. I couldn't find her, so I asked Ma Xiaoyan to come back. I didn't know that Qiao Miao followed them closely and ran over the wall.
Gao Junhui can't help but take a step back and feel my head suddenly "hum" and go blank. He had no time to think, so he turned and ran in. Ma Xiaoyan saw his hands, or rather, his whole person, trembling involuntarily because of fear.
Although the fire has obviously weakened a lot, it is difficult for people who are still stimulated by smoke to open their eyes. Qiao Miao felt as if she were trapped in a maze. She has been spinning in the same place, her eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and it is more and more difficult to breathe. Just when she felt dizzy, a powerful arm grabbed her firmly from behind.
Gao Junhui tried her best to carry her out, and Ma Xiaohui gave her a spoonful of water to drink. She lay on the ground and looked at Gao Junhui. She asked eagerly, "Where is Qiao Jun?"
"Well, I'm not hurt!" He said, drag Qiao Jun behind her.
"I thought I would never see you again," she said, losing consciousness, and tears rolled from the corner of her eye into Gao Junhui's hand.
Yao Cuifen, who heard the news, called Qiao Yusheng of the kiln factory before the ambulance arrived, then put all the cash at home in his pocket and packed some clothes in a hurry. Gao Junhui carried Qiao Miao to the car and insisted on going with him in case there was no one around Qiao Miao when going through the formalities. Yao Cuifen thought what he said was reasonable, so he didn't stop it again.
Qiao Jun followed. He looked like his sister who was dug out of the carbon pile, and looked at Gao Junhui who risked his life to carry himself out of the fire pit, and couldn't help crying.
Originally, they should have classes in the classroom at the moment. It was because he encouraged other students to skip class and steal chickens that he got into such a big trouble.
"We agreed that after lunch, we would hide outside the orchard. After Hao stole his grandfather's key, we went in to steal chickens together. Hao Xiangjie said that his grandfather only went there in the morning and evening when he was feeding chickens, so we didn't think anyone would find out.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got in touch with Hao, but he said he didn't get the key. So we had to climb over the wall from the back of the garden, catch a chicken through the small door inside, and then hide behind to prepare for roasting. Unexpectedly, at this moment, his grandfather suddenly brought people to see apples. The point is that when he left, he locked the small door from the outside.
But everyone didn't care too much, thinking that climbing over the wall again was also a big deal. Later, when the chicken was cooked on the fire, we started playing cards under the tree because we were bored. At first no one knew how the fire started.
When we found the fire, all the firewood piled in front of the brick wall had been burned out, and it was burning more and more brightly. We shouted desperately, but no one answered. I was so scared in my heart, because I thought I would be burned alive until I heard the voice of my second sister ... "Qiao Jun wiped her tears and admitted her' crime'.
Yao Cuifen was so angry that he beat and cursed in the car. At the same time, she is extremely grateful to Gao Junhui for letting her see her two children again.
"Jun hui, aunts son all don't know how to thank you! Did you hurt anything? I'll go to the hospital for a check-up before I feel at ease. Listen to your aunt, huh? " She dug out a towel quilt from her bag and handed it to Gao Junhui to cover it in order to avoid catching cold.
"Aunt, I'm fine, as long as Miao ..." He stopped himself in time, took a deep breath and continued: "As long as Qiao Miao is fine." He wants to hold Qiao Miao's hand, hold her tightly in his arms, stick it to her ear, and wake her up with his love ... but now all he can do is look at the scars on her hands and feet until he has to rub his eyes to wipe away the overflowing tears.
After a series of careful examinations, the doctor's diagnosis was that excessive shock and tension, coupled with lack of oxygen and fatigue, had caused a temporary coma. So as long as oxygen is given in time, you will soon regain consciousness, but you need to stay in hospital for observation for one night.
After listening to the doctor, Yao Cuifen's hanging heart was finally put down. Gao Junhui called a pot of hot water, mixed it in the pot, asked her to scrub Qiao Miao's body, and then put on clean clothes for her. Yao Cuifen really likes his thoughtfulness. She would really like to have such a good son-in-law if he hadn't already met someone.
After settled Qiao Miao, it was getting dark. Gao Junhui hurried back to the dormitory, took a bath, and then went to the street to buy something to eat and took it to the hospital.
Qiao Yusheng was here. After making sure Qiao Miao is all right, he went back with Qiao Jun. Before leaving, Yao Cuifen repeatedly told him not to hit the child, because he knew Qiao Yusheng's honest and frank temper. I was afraid that he would pay a great price this time, so I was afraid that he would break the child in a fit of pique.
Qiao Miao woke up once on the road, maybe she was too tired. Before Gao Junhui came back, he fell asleep again. Yao Cuifen told him to hurry back to rest and said that he could take care of Qiao Miao himself. Gao Junhui said that he was not at ease and wanted to wait for Qiao Miao to wake up and say a few words to her before leaving. So two people across the bed, you sentence by sentence I talked about Qiao Miao's childhood.
"This girl protect the younger brother at an early age. I remember when Qiao Jun was less than one year old, your uncle drove a tricycle up and down in the county seat to pick up people. It was winter, and Qiao Yu lived with her grandmother, so I took them to sleep at night. In the middle of the night, Qiao Jun cried for milk. I got up and warmed him up on the stove. Unexpectedly, the glass bottle suddenly burst from the bottom, all the milk flowed out and the stove was doused. Qiao Jun kept crying. I was so angry that I spanked him twice. When Miao saw the child, she buried her head in the quilt and cried for a long time ... "Yao Cuifen's eyes were red and her voice choked in her throat.
Gao Junhui's eyes fell back to that one, making him want to cherish his little face. He likes to watch her in front of him and sleep soundly like a child. Although she didn't know it, how grateful he was to her, he just hurt his hands and feet.
In the middle of Yao Cuifen's fetching water, Gao Junhui stroked her hand wrapped in gauze, bent down and got up, turned all love into a kiss, and then gently printed it on her forehead.
