Qin Mu still remembered that Shao Qingyu told him to call him at the door yesterday, presumably it was for this meeting gift. He glanced at him with a little amusement, "Is it necessary to be so serious?"
Shao Qingyu's tone was light: "The etiquette that should be there is still there."
When the old man came back from shopping and saw the eight boxes of things, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He said it was too polite and asked Shao Qingyu to take the things back. Shao Qingyu didn't buy too many big things, they were all more practical things like nutrition for the elderly, tea, massage chair and foot bath.
He bought more miscellaneous things, including the necessities of life throughout the year. The old man was too embarrassed to accept them, so he blocked everything the old man wanted to say by saying that the things could not be refunded.
Qin Mu flipped through the items in the box. Compared with Shao Qingyu's meticulous and appropriate, as Grandma Qin's grandson, he was not so thoughtful. Seeing that the old man wanted to refuse, he gently took the old man's shoulders, "Grandma, you can keep everything you bought, it's not too expensive, and you can always use it when the time comes, besides..." He looked at it Shao Qingyu, "Qingyu is not an outsider, he is my very good friend."
Shao Qingyu continued: "Grandma Qin, don't meet me like this. My grandma passed away when she was very young. She is very kind when she sees you, and the food you cook is very delicious. From now on, I will talk to Qin Mu often comes to your place for dinner."
The ability to follow the vines to find relatives can only be done by Shao Qingyu, Qin Mu curled his lips and thought, why didn't he find that Shao Qingyu was so thick-skinned.
Grandma Qin was very happy to be coaxed, her eyes narrowed into slits, "Okay, then you will come to play often in the future." Then, she turned her head and said to Qin Mu: "When you come with Guoguo in the future, Take Xiao Shao with you, there are many rooms in the house, so we can live there."
Hearing Qi Heng's name, Shao Qingyu's face froze almost imperceptibly. He looked at Qin Mu with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. In Qin Mu's eyes, there was a hint of threat in the smile: "This will hurt you." Will it disturb the two-person world between you and Qi Heng?"
"How could it be?" Qin Mu also laughed, and said something that only the two of them could understand: "Qi Heng will be very happy knowing that you are here."
As a result, these words became a prophecy, and Qi Heng really ran over.
Qin Mu thought that he didn't accompany the old man well in the past, so he planned to stay here for two days and talk with the old man. Shao Qingyu stayed behind. He wanted to perform well in front of Grandma Qin. In the future, the matter between him and Qin Mu would be spread out. At least the old man could have a process of acceptance. For this reason, he even took charge of the kitchen himself and made a decent table. The dishes come out.
Not to mention, Shao Qingyu's cooking skills are really good, no worse than what Qin Mu ate in a five-star hotel.
Qi Heng came to Anping Village on the third day, alone.
Grandma Qin and the Su family are neighbors. Qi Heng first visited his adoptive parents, and then came to Grandma Qin's place. At that time, Shao Qingyu was cooking in the kitchen, because it was the last day of cooking here, and he had cooked a lot of dishes, and Qin Mu laid down for him on the sidelines.
hand.
When Qi Heng appeared, Grandma Qin's voice of surprise could be heard from a long distance: "Guoguo, you are back, oops, Gouwa told me that you have been too busy recently, let me take a look, one month No, you seem to have lost weight..."
The knife in his hand shook, and a gash appeared on the index finger of Shao Qingyu's left hand, and blood gushed out instantly, dripping onto the chopping board. Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly put down the vegetables in his hands, supported Shao Qingyu's shoulders and went to the living room.
Grandma Qin was happily chatting with Qi Heng about the family affairs, when she saw that Shao Qingyu's finger was bleeding, she rushed over to check the situation. Taking out the spare medicine box, Qin Mu quickly helped Shao Qingyu treat the wound. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, only a little blood.
"Xiao Shao, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Grandma Qin asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a small injury, and I blame myself for not being careful." Shao Qingyu comforted him softly.
Grandma Qin still blamed herself a little: "Sister-in-law Liu and I will do the cooking in the future, just let me know what you want to eat." After finishing speaking, she said to Qi Heng who was silent at the side: "From now on, you and Gouwa will come here Tell Xiao Shao sometime, Xiao Shao likes to eat the dishes I cook."
Qi Heng lowered his eyes and gave a low hum.
After the false alarm passed, Grandma Qin and Sister-in-law Liu went to the kitchen to finish the work, and the three of them were left in the huge living room. Shao Qingyu was sitting, Qin Mu was leaning on his shoulders, and Qi Heng was standing opposite, the distance between the two sides was as clear as the border between Chu and Han.
There is no other sound in the air except the sound of cooking in full swing from the kitchen.
Qin Mu moved a stool and sat next to Shao Qingyu, scooped up a handful of melon seeds and ate slowly, "Why are you here?" He didn't mention Qi Heng's fiancée, after all, it's not convenient to talk about it here.
"I'll come and see my adoptive parents." Qi Heng glanced at Shao Qingyu on the opposite side, and said slowly, "You brought him back." He didn't know about Shao Qing until he saw the photo sent by Qin Mu. Yu also came to Anping Village.
It is reasonable to say that the Qi Group has just started to improve, and it was the busiest time for him, but he still rushed over by accident. Before coming, he specially greeted Feng Jiajia and asked her to come with him. He knew that Feng Jiajia, a spoiled young lady, had an instinctive rejection of rural life.
Throwing the pile of melon seed shells in his hand into the trash can beside the dining table, Qin Mu fed the peeled melon seeds to Shao Qingyu in front of Qi Heng, and said in a calm voice, "Well, let grandma take a look at it first. It’s time for her to be mentally prepared.”
With a trace of sadness in his eyes, Qi Heng said slowly: "The matter between us..."
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Qin Mu interrupted lightly: "Well, I haven't told her yet." After a pause, he continued: "I will tell her when I find a suitable opportunity."
Qin Mu thought about showing the old man the newspaper that published the news of Qi Heng's engagement, but he was worried that the old man would feel sorry for him, but he felt unwilling to let him tell the old man that he fell in love with someone else and help Qi Heng clean up. After thinking about it, he felt that a peaceful breakup was the most acceptable way. At that time, the old man would at most sigh for a while, and Shao Qingyu had performed so well in the past two days, so he expected her to accept this fact more easily.
After Qin Mu finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet again.
Shao Qingyu spread out his uninjured right hand, and said in a calm and calm tone, "I still want melon seeds." As he said, he did not forget to add: "Peeled."
Qin Mu: "..." He had deliberately acted for Qi Heng to watch, but this Shao Qingyu even pushed his nose in the face.
With a soft snort in his heart, Qin Mu made an affectionate expression on his face, and said softly, "Okay, I'll peel it for you."
That tender and sweet scene fell into Qi Heng's eyes, and he felt like he was in an ice cellar. The temperature in early spring was not that cold, but in his heart he felt that the severe winter had never passed. In just one month, the relationship between him and Qin Mu has directly changed from a honeymoon period to a stranger. Those beautiful scenes in the past seem to be just yesterday. It caught his heart, and the dull pain in his heart made him turn pale.
"Eat and eat."
At this moment, Grandma Qin's joyful voice came from the kitchen.
Qi Heng came back to his senses, subconsciously went to the kitchen to help serve dishes, Qin Mu and Shao Qingyu followed behind, Grandma Qin asked Shao Qingyu to stay aside, Shao Qingyu smiled and said it was okay, and used the other Use your uninjured hand to help hold the chopsticks.
After the food was served, Grandma Qin sat in the main seat, and Aunt Liu sat on the left. If the seats were arranged according to the previous ones, the seat on the right should be occupied by Qin Mu, and then Qi Heng sat next to Qin Mu. However, Qin Mu After sitting beside the old man, he took Shao Qingyu's hand and sat beside him, so that Qi Heng could only sit between Shao Qingyu and Mrs. Liu.
Qi Heng didn't say anything, just sat down quietly, but Mrs. Liu noticed something and jokingly asked: "What's the matter, why don't you sit together, the young couple are having a fight?"
Qin Mu's face remained the same, and he replied with a smile: "Qingyu's hand is injured, it's not convenient to pick up vegetables, I can help if you sit next to me."
As he said that, he turned his head naturally, and turned the conversation to Qi Heng: "Guoguo, don't you mind?"
Qi Heng's hand holding the chopsticks froze, lowered his eyes, and said, "I don't mind."
…
After the meal, when clearing the table, Grandma Qin asked casually: "Guoguo, where are you going to sleep tonight?" Old-fashioned people have long allowed them to sleep in the same room.
As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them were all taken aback.
Qin Mu observed Shao Qingyu's face in secret, and saw that his expression was stiff and cold, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the fingertips holding the bowls and chopsticks turned white from exertion. He was worried that the old man and Mrs. Liu would see something, so he blocked it calmly. In front of Shao Qingyu, she smiled faintly: "Grandma, Guoguo just came back, let him and Uncle and Aunt Su..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Heng interrupted softly: "Okay, I also want to have a good talk with grandma for a while." Sensitively aware of a sharp and harsh gaze falling on himself, the corner of his mouth continued to smile, and turned to He smiled and said to Qin Mu: "You will not welcome me, right?"
Qin Mu originally wanted to wait for a while before telling Grandma Qin about his breakup with Qi Heng, who would have thought that Qi Heng would leave his fiancée behind and rush over here, so he would be passive, and then explain to the old man about their relationship is obviously inappropriate.
"how could be."
Not knowing what kind of trick Qi Heng was trying to play, Qin Mu also responded with a smile.
