Chapter 032.

Zhen Zhen didn’t stop, looking at Squire Huai Ming before withdrawing her gaze and continuing on her way.

The first time I saw him, I was so happy to see him, but I was so happy to see him, I was so happy to see him. After recovering and glancing at Zhen Zhen’s back, he raised his hand and touched his brow.

A few moments later he gently exhaled, pulling the car stride to catch up with Zhen Zhen.

In short, what should be said should not be said all said, face is completely out, there is no need to have these faces.

Walked to the side of Zhen Zhen, he brewed a moment to look at Zhen Zhen said: “I drank too much last night.”

He was helped back by Zhen Zhen, of course Zhen Zhen knew that he had drunk too much, Zhen Zhen simply answered: “Uh-huh.”

Serving Huai Ming brewed for a while and said, “But what was said was all serious.” Just some of the words said more blunt and revealing.

Zhen Zhen: “……”

She didn’t want to talk to him in broad daylight about whether those shameful words were serious or not.

She didn’t answer Shui Huai Ming’s words again, and her footsteps unconsciously quickened a bit.

But before she could take a few steps, she was again held by Shui Huaiming’s wrist.

Influenced by yesterday’s events, Jenny subconsciously tensed up and whispered in a panicked tone, “What are you doing again?”

Although there were fewer people on this road at the moment, there were still other people passing by from time to time.

Servant Huai Ming didn’t answer, but suddenly held her at the waist and picked her up.

Zhen Zhen was so frightened that she was about to ask him what he was doing, but he placed her on the cart and made her sit on the cushion.

He said, “It’s a long walk to the house, I’ll pull you.”

Zhen Zhen: “……”

She looked at Shi Huai Ming and blinked, and before she looked back, Shi Huai Ming had already gone to pull the crate.

The cart swayed slightly as it walked, and Zhen Zhen sat on the cart for a while, only after a few moments did she loose her breath and nerves.

Shui Huaiming pulled up the cart and walked not slowly, but the cart was pulled very steadily.

Zhen Zhen sat on the cart and did not move, nor did she speak, quietly looking at the scenery on both sides of the country road.

The field next to the road was planted with rice.

This is the time of the year when the rice is pulling out its ears, and the newly-drawn rice ears between the green leaves are gently swaying in the wind.

Zhen Zhen had been looking at the fields on both sides of the road in a trance, and she only came back to her senses when the boarder was about to enter the village.

When she saw that she was about to enter the village, she asked Shui Huaiming to stop and then got up to get off the cart.

Shi Huai Ming asked her, “What’s wrong?”

She looked at him and said, “I’ll walk by myself.”

She didn’t want to be seen by the village people and was embarrassed.

Already at home, Shui Huaiming didn’t say anything else and pulled the cart into the village with Zhen Zhen.

The two walked side by side towards home, if they met people in the village, they greeted and exchanged pleasantries with a smile.

The other people and Zhen Zhen Shui Huai Ming greetings, that eyes are envious.

The parents envied the Shih family for raising such a son, and the wives envied Zhen Zhen for marrying such a man.

When Zhen Zhen and Shihuaiming arrived home, Zhong Minfen had already prepared lunch.

When she saw Zhen Zhen and Shui Huaoming enter the yard, Zhong Minfen said, “Quickly, wash up and get ready to eat.”

After Zhen Zhen and Shui Huaoming finished washing their hands and faces, Shui Huaizhong Chen Qingmei and Shui Danling Shui Xingguo returned.

All the family members have returned, naturally, they will serve food and take chopsticks to sit down at the table to eat.

Shui Xingguo ate a mouthful of food and said contentedly, “It’s great that you’re back, Third Uncle.”

Now he is already considered to have a good reputation among the dolls of about the same age in the same village. Even those half-grown children who were several years older than him were respectful of him.

Servant Huai Ming hadn’t even opened his mouth to answer.

Servant Danling turned her head to look at him and said, “But you’ve been given the honor to show off.”

Shi Xingguo: “Aren’t you the same?”

Serving Danling is indeed the same.

Not only Shui Danling, Shui Huaizhong Chen Qingmei now in the village, talk also has weight.

Before the village people’s respect for them more or less a bit false, after all, did not see the service Huai Ming, now that are real.

Zhong Minfen has the most respect, but she doesn’t float.

She said to Shui Danling and Shui Xingguo: “Don’t go out and cause trouble in your third uncle’s name.”

Shui Danling quickly defended herself, “I haven’t caused any trouble.”

Servant Xingguo echoed, “Neither have I.”

Servant Huai Zhong and Chen Qingmei smiled together.

The two children in her family, they were still relatively at ease.

They were a bit mischievous, but they wouldn’t really go out and cause any trouble.

As the two children talked and fooled around, the atmosphere at the dinner table was also relaxed.

Chen Qingmei wanted to talk to Zhen Zhen and Shui Huaoming a few times, but she held back and didn’t pick a topic.

But she didn’t hold back all the time and asked Zhong Minfen privately after dinner, “Mother, what’s the situation with Zhen Zhen and Huai Ming now?”

Zhong Minfen didn’t know, and only said, “Zhen Zhen didn’t tell me, but I think Huai Ming’s behavior is okay. Since he already knows how good Zhen Zhen is, I won’t worry about it.”

Chen Qingmei whispered, “Then have you ever felt that there is something strange between the two of them?”

Before, the two were just simply having a disagreement together, Zhen Zhen didn’t talk and didn’t want to care about Zhi Huai Ming, but now there was inexplicably an indescribable sense of oddness, and both of them were a little bit weird.

Zhong Minfen didn’t pay too much attention, “Then I didn’t notice, did they quarrel again?”

Chen Qingmei also said not too clear: “Should we call Zhen Zhen over and ask her face to face?”

Zhong Minfen thought for a while and said, “Forget it, let’s stay out of it for now, and let them toss and turn on their own.”

See Zhong Minfen said so, Chen Qingmei also did not worry.

***

Being disturbed by Shi Huai Ming, Zhen Zhen didn’t sleep much last night.

This morning, she got up early to go to the market to sell bean sprouts, and now she was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting and she went to bed after lunch.

No one disturbed her, and she slept for a long time.

When she woke up slowly fluttering her eyelashes, the sun had already fallen to the western half of the sky.

Opening her eyes slightly, she saw Shui Huaiming leaning against the head of her bed.

He was holding a book in his hand that he was reading carefully, and the book was none other than the Bitter Vegetable Flower that she had borrowed from Xue Fan.

Upon seeing Shi Huai Ming, Zhen Zhen immediately closed her eyes again.

Pretending that she hadn’t woken up, she gently rolled over and continued to sleep with her back to Shui Huaiming.

Servant Huai Ming also pretended that he didn’t see that she was awake and sat down next to her to continue reading.

Hearing the sound of him rolling over next to her, Zhen Zhen couldn’t lie there any longer and opened her eyes to sit up.

Seeing Zhen Zhen sitting up, Shi Huai Ming closed the book in his hand.

He looked at Zhen Zhen and asked in a voice, “Awake?”

Zhen Zhen glanced at him and didn’t answer, directly reaching out to take the book from his hand, bypassing him and getting out of bed.

There was no way she could calmly stay in a room alone with him right now, especially in bed.

She got up, washed up a handful of times, brought her book with her, and went out with her basket and scythe to hunt hogweed.

Squire Huai Ming came out and followed her, taking the basket and sickle from her.

When Zhen Zhen was robbed of her basket and sickle, she turned her head to look at Shui Huai Ming and whispered, “Why are you always clinging to me now?”

Servant Huai Ming replied frankly, “Of course I’m afraid you’ll run away with someone else.”

Zhen Zhen: “……”

She took two steps forward and muttered again, “Making it seem like you really care about me.”

He clearly didn’t like her, and he didn’t even react at all when she tried so hard to get closer to him before.

Servant Huai Ming heard this and responded, “There’s no as if, it’s just true.”

Zhen Zhen’s heartbeat missed half a beat without any luck, then she raised her hands to cover her ears, “I don’t believe it.”

He was like that to her before, and now that he ran back to offer her some courtesy she believes him?

She didn’t want to believe it. The aggravation she suffered before wasn’t fake either.

Servant Huai Ming followed beside Zhen Zhen and continued, “Spitting out the truth after drinking.”

Zhen Zhen covered her ears and also heard it, and whispered back, “It could also be that he is speaking nonsense after drinking.”

Seeing that Zhen Zhen was determined not to believe it, Shui Huai Ming did not continue to defend himself.

He followed Zhen Zhen to the field outside the village, he held the scythe and said, “You rest, I’ll make pigweed.”

Zhen Zhen knew she couldn’t wring him out, so she took the book and found a place to sit down.

She sat quietly and carefully reading the book, Shui Huai Ming hit a basket of pigweed, also came to sit next to her.

He looked at Zhen Zhen for a while and said, “If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”

Zhen Zhen looked at the book without lifting her head and refused, “Don’t ask.”

Servant Huai Ming turned the sickle in his hand, “If Xue Fan dares to tell you again, I’ll break his legs.”

Zhen Zhen: “……”

She turned her head and met Squire Huai Ming’s gaze.

A moment later, she said, “I don’t believe it.”

Squire Huai Ming: “……”

The hogweed had already been beaten, so Zhen Zhen didn’t sit around anymore, she closed the book and got up, going to carry the basket home.

She didn’t walk more than a few steps with the basket, but Shui Huaiming came over and took the basket.

Zhen Zhen didn’t grab it from him, holding the book and going home with him side by side.

In the evening, the sun slightly hides the light, the breeze is very comfortable on the body.

The face is covered with the warm light of the setting sun, the service Huai Ming touched the scene of deep emotion, suddenly emotional up and said: “In the border of those five years, every time about to be unable to stay up, will think of the hometown of this grass and trees, thinking that must win, must come back ……”.

Zhen Zhen quietly listened to him, turning her head to look at him from time to time.

When he finished talking about those homesick moments on the battlefield, those difficult pasts, Zhen Zhen suddenly also had the desire to speak.

She looked at Servant Huai Ming and brewed for a while, then asked: ”After you came back, did you regret marrying me before you left? At that time, but where to drag on a few days, we …… will not be married, and there will not be now these painful entangled things.

“No.” Servant Huai Ming interrupted her, “Married you that is you.”

Zhen Zhen was silent for a while longer, her heart tumbling with all sorts of emotions, and after a moment of hesitation she added, “Then when you met Jiang Lin, did you also have no regrets? If it wasn’t for me, you would have been with a girl like Jiang Lin and would have taken a girl like her as your wife.”

Servant Huai Ming looked at her and said seriously, “No.”

Zhen Zhen pursed her lips, took a breath and lowered her head as she continued, “I’m not talking in anger, and you don’t have to lie to me. I did want to be a real couple with you before, and I’ve been pleasing you, wanting to become what you like. But now I’ve figured it out and don’t want to force it. If you’re not happy and I feel aggrieved when we’re forced to live together, it’s better to be miserable than to torture each other. Instead of torturing each other like this, it’s better to be happy ……”

Before she could read and write, she might have been able to endure it for the rest of her life, but now she couldn’t.

Servant Huai Ming grabbed Zhen Zhen’s arm and pulled her to look at himself.

He looked at Zhen Zhen and said, “I didn’t lie, everything I said came from my heart. I know I did a bad job, because of me, you suffered a lot of grievances and endured a lot of pressure. But you believe me, it will never happen again. Jen-Jen, give me a chance, let’s try again, okay?”

Jen tilted her head and looked into his eyes, unable to stop her heart from racing.

A moment later she suppressed her heartbeat and hurriedly dropped her gaze, lowering her head without speaking again.

Servant Huai Ming still looked at her and fought again, “Let’s try again, okay?”

There were little people fighting in Zhen Zhen’s head, she was silent for a good few moments, then lowered her head and voiced out, “I need to think about it ……”

A few stars of broken awns flashed open in the bottom of Servant Huai Ming’s eyes as he said, “We have plenty of time, take your time to think about it.”

Zhen Zhen suddenly raised her head to look at him again, pursed her lips and said, “Do you have a long family vacation?”

Squire Huai Ming: “……”

“You can come back to the city and continue to think about it.”

Zhen Zhen turned around and walked forward, “The matter of returning to the city is something I need to consider as well.”

The corner of Servant Huai Ming’s mouth flashed with a very shallow smile as he stood still for a moment looking at Zhen Zhen.

Then under his gaze, Zhen Zhen, who had been walking well, suddenly had her feet slammed down and sank into the pit with one foot.

Zhen Zhen screamed in shock and looked down to find that she had stepped into a dark pit covered in grass.

This kind of pit seems to be a trap dug by someone on purpose, and when you are unlucky you will step on one unexpectedly.

But today, Zhen Zhen’s luck seemed to be very bad.

Although there were no spikes in the dark pit, she seemed to have broken her foot.

Servant Huai Ming’s face instantly sank, taking a few steps to the side of her and helping her to take her foot out of the pit.

He looked to see that the soles of Zhen Zhen’s feet weren’t injured, and asked her again, “Did you break it?”

Zhen Zhen hissed in pain, “It seems to be broken.”

Without saying a word, Servant Huai Ming picked her up across his arms and found a felled tree stump nearby for her to sit on.

Then he squatted down in front of her and carefully inspected the place where she was twisted.

When he had finished his examination he said, “No bones are hurt; I’ll take you home and put a compress on it.”

After saying that he got up and went to carry the hogweed basket over, then he bent his knees and squatted down again, letting Zhen Zhen get on his back.

Zhen Zhen did not plop down on his back and stood up herself and said, “I should be able to barely walk back.”

Servant Huai Ming didn’t say anything else, directly back to his hand pulled her, easily dragged her onto his back and carried her.

Zhen Zhen was so frightened that she threw her arms around his neck.

When he carried her on his back, she hastily let go of his neck again.

Embarrassed, Zhen Zhen told Shi Huai Ming again, “I can really walk back by myself.”

Servant Huai Ming voiced out a sentence back to her, “Be obedient and be honest, or you’ll swell up a lot.”

Zhen Zhen bit her lip.

The place where her ankle was twisted did hurt.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t twisted her foot before, and it did swell.

So she didn’t say anything else, and peacefully lay down on Servant Huai Ming’s back, letting him carry her on his back.

Servant Huai Ming’s back is very wide, lying on it is very secure.

The light from the setting sun hit over, tracing a golden outline on his face.

Zhen Zhen silently watched him, her gaze locked on the side of his face, unconsciously swaying for a moment.

Servant Huai Ming turned back to talk to her and happened to meet her gaze.

With the embarrassment of being caught, Zhen Zhen instantly averted her gaze and turned her head to look elsewhere.

Servant Huai Ming had forgotten what he was going to say.

So he turned his face back and continued to walk forward in silence with Zhen Zhen on his back.

The warm light of the evening sun quietly sprinkled on the two people, slowly coloring the tips of the two people’s ears red.

The wind blowing over his face was very light, and the hair on his temples brushed against the man’s ears, teasing into his heart.

When Shui Huai Ming carried Zhen Zhen to the head of the village, Zhen Zhen suddenly came back to her senses.

She busily asked Shui Huai Ming to put her down again and whispered to him, “It’s not good to be seen like this, it’s not that far from home, I can jump back by myself.”

But Squire Huai Ming calmly said, “I’m carrying my own wife, what’s so bad that people can’t see?”

Zhen Zhen was embarrassed, “People will definitely chew on her behind her back.”

Servant Huai Ming: “Then let them chew on it.”

Servant Huai Ming’s hand strength did not loosen, Zhen Zhen could not get down at all.

There was no way out, so after Shui Huaiming entered the village, Zhen Zhen directly buried her face on his back.

She hid her face, only revealing her two small, reddish ears.

Servant Huai Ming didn’t care a bit and greeted people normally when he met them.

After greeting him with a big smile on his face, he asked, “What’s wrong with Zhen Zhen?”

Shui Huai Ming replied normally, “Auntie, Zhen Zhen has broken her foot.”

Seeing that Zhen Zhen had her face buried to the ground, she smiled and didn’t ask any more questions, nor did she intentionally make fun of Zhen Zhen.

When Shui Huaiming arrived home with Zhen Zhen on his back, Zhong Minfen happened to be in the courtyard.

When Zhong Minfen saw them, she quickly asked, “Aigoo, what’s wrong?”

Only when she heard Zhong Minfen’s voice did Zhen Zhen lift her face up.

Serving Huai Ming carried Zhen Zhen to the house and explained to Zhong Minfen, “I stepped on a dark pit and broke my foot.”

Zhong Minfen let out another ouch, “Quickly put it on the bed and sit down, is it swollen?”

Zhen Zhen sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhong Minfen with a red face and said, “Mother, I’m fine.”

Zhong Minfen came over to take a closer look at her feet and frowned, “They’re all swollen, but they’re still fine?”

Servant Huai Ming said to Zhong Min Fen, “It didn’t hurt the bones, I’ll go fetch some deep well water and hurry to put a compress on it.”

With that, he went out and returned with well water a short while later, soaking a rag and compressing it on Zhen Zhen’s ankle.

The deep well water was very cold.

When the wet cloth was applied to her ankle, Zhen Zhen shivered lightly from the cold.

Servant Huai Ming raised his head to look at her, “Rest honestly, don’t do anything until the swelling goes down.”

Zhen Zhen looked at him and said, “It’s not that serious, is it?”

Servant Huai Ming looked at her and replied, “It’s not serious until it swells up into a pig’s foot, right?”

Zhong Minfen looked at the two of them talking like this, pursed her lips and smiled, silently turning around and going out.

Servant Huai Ming was so considerate, so of course there was no need for her to worry about anything here.

After Zhong Minfen went out, Zhen Zhen asked in a low voice again, “What about if I need to go to the restroom?”

Servant Huai Ming still looked at her and said dryly, “Call me.”

Zhen Zhen: “Oh.”
