Siheyuan: The Final Winner

Country road.

Qin Jingru was carrying a bamboo basket, bouncing and walking ahead.

From time to time, she looked down at the puppy in the bamboo basket, feeling happy.

"This puppy is fluffy all over, so cute." Qin Jingru laughed.

"It has black hair and is called Xiao Hei. How does Ping An feel?"

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's black now, but it won't be so when it grows up."

"But it doesn't matter what the name is, Xiao Hei can be Xiao Hei!"

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and said happily, "When I get home, I will build a doghouse for Xiao Hei."

"It's hot now, so it's easy to settle down, let's go...Xiao Hei, I'll build a nest for you!"

As she said that, she smiled and placed the bamboo basket, and trotted home.

"Slow down, don't fall!" Jiang Pingan reminded loudly.

Qin Jingru responded from a distance: "I'm not so delicate, you go faster!"

"It's so hot, go home early and rest early!"

When the two returned home after playing around, Qin Jingru immediately got busy.

She moved a flat stone slab, put it under the eaves of the kitchen door, and spread a layer of hay on top.

Then Yiliu ran to her mother's house, and when she came back, she was holding two stone bowls in her hand.

"One for water and one for rice, just right." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

She put the two stone bowls on one side of the stone slab, lifted the puppy out of the bamboo basket, and put it on the grass nest on the slate.

Jiang Pingan was sitting on the side smoking a cigarette, watching her busy and smiling slightly.

"Xiao Hei, this will be your home from now on, you know?"

Qin Jingru poked the puppy's head with his finger, and said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan laughed loudly and said, "If you tell it like that, can it understand?"

"First fill the stone bowl with water, and pour some porridge for it to eat."

"When it gets used to it, it will know that this place is its kennel."

Qin Jingru giggled, and hurried into the room to get the porridge left over from the morning, and poured some into a stone bowl.

Don't dare pour too much, the puppy is too small to eat much, and the weather is hot, so it is easy to attract mosquitoes.

This puppy was specially picked by Jiang Ping'an. He is in good spirits and very clever.

It was carried to the stone bowl by Qin Jingru, smelled the porridge for a few times, and then began to take small bites, wagging its tail.

"It's hungry, look how delicious it is!" Qin Jingru said happily, his eyes narrowed into crescents.

Then she got up again, fetched a ladle of water, and filled the other stone bowl.

After finishing her work, Qin Jingru came and sat beside Jiang Ping'an, and sighed:

"The days with you are happy and sweet, and time passes quickly!"

She looked at Jiang Ping'an, rubbed into his arms, scratched her hands, and giggled.

Jiang Pingan whispered in her ear, "Aren't you shy now?"

"What's there to be shy about? People have given you so long, I'm used to it." Qin Jingru said with winking eyes.

Jiang Pingan pointed with his finger and whispered something to her.

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and said, "I'll get some water, you can wash it, or you'll be disgusting!"

After a while, when Jiang Pingan came back to clean up and sat down, Qin Jingru lowered her head and got busy.

The weather is cloudy for a while and sunny for a while.

Time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ping'an frowned and let out a long breath.

Qin Jingru puffed her face, pursed her small cherry mouth, and looked up at him with a blushing face.

Then, she wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand, swallowed her throat, and frowned slightly.

"I'm going to rinse my mouth..." Qin Jingru trotted into the kitchen.

Jiang Pingan smiled, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly.

Before she finished smoking a cigarette, Qin Jingru trotted out after rinsing her mouth, threw herself into his arms, and said softly:

"I helped you, you have to help me, don't cheat!"

Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, threw away the cigarette butt, picked her up by the waist, and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

...

Rumble!

Thunder roared, the sky was gloomy, and the wind picked up!

In the room, Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru were sweating profusely, enjoying it tirelessly!

After a while, big raindrops fell from the sky.

At first it was like a broken string of beads, and then it grew bigger and bigger, like sifting beans, like pouring, like pouring.

The wind howled, thunder and lightning intertwined.

The rain hit the ground, splashing white sprays.

The earth was shrouded in a white rain curtain, and all the scenery became hazy in the rain.

In the air, there is a strong earthy smell, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees mixed with herbs.

The tiles on the roof were crackling by the raindrops.

Under the eaves, there seemed to be a series of water curtains hanging, and the water splashed in all directions. After a moment, there was water on the ground.

Lightning danced in the sky like a sharp sword shining with cold light.

One after another, they shone brightly, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.

In the room, the two figures froze at the same time, from movement to stillness, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

After a while, Jiang Pingan let out a long breath, and rolled over from Qin Jingru's body.

"Yesterday we were still talking about the rain, but today it's really raining."

Qin Jingru tied up her messy hair, the lingering charm on her face was still there.

He got up and took the cigarette, lit the match again, and lit it for him.

Jiang Pingan smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "This rain is timely, and this year's crops will be more or less harvested."

Qin Jingru nodded, took the towel and cleaned Jiang Ping'an, and said with a smile:

"Peasants watch the sky and eat, even if God takes a nap, he still wants to give us a chance, right?"

As she said that, she looked at the violent wind and rain outside, frowned and said:

"It's good that it's not raining, but the air is still stuffy with this rain."

"Do you want to take a bath? I'll go to hot water, let's wash up!"

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, we both sweated a lot just now, we really need to wash off."

Qin Jingru winked and smiled, with all kinds of flair, she got up and nodded and said:

"Then you rest for a while, and I will call you when the water is hot."

After saying that, she put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Jiang Pingan finished his cigarette and didn't lie on the bed anymore. He got up and stretched, got dressed and went out.

Looking up, it was raining cats and dogs, and the world was hazy.

In that field, there are many villagers wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats, looking after ditches and crops.

One porridge and one meal are really hard-won.

Farmers get up early and work late, and face the loess and back to the sky in the wind and sun.

Only by diligently farming throughout the year can we obtain a small amount of food.

That's it, it depends on whether God rewards the meal or not.

Jiang Pingan looked at the busy figures in the field through the rain curtain, dazed.

After boiling the water in the kitchen, Qin Jingru came out and walked to Jiang Ping'an's side, holding his arm, and looking at the fields.

"If I hadn't followed you, I would definitely be busy in the fields right now." Qin Jingru said softly.

Girls in the countryside are not so squeamish, and they do all kinds of farm and housework.

Hoeing, planting crops, weeding, feeding pigs, cooking, washing clothes, everything is not left behind.

"It's okay to work hard. I'm not afraid of hard work. No matter how hard and tiring I am, I can't see the end..."
