She spoke in the same dialect as the girl next to her. Although it was not as clear as Mandarin, Jiang Cheng could still understand it.
"Well. Is it okay?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Yes, but where are you from? You don't look like you are from here." The girl looked at Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing behind him, with some surprise in her eyes.
We came from a neighboring city and are totally unfamiliar with this place.
Jiang Cheng said.
Then you can, you can live in my house." The girl said, lowering her head, looking very embarrassed, and her exposed ears were red.
The girl next to him was still smiling, and he whispered something in the girl's ear.
Thank you very much. Where is your home? I can go there by myself. "Jiang Cheng said.
Ah, let me take you there. You probably won't be able to find it.
The girl said with a smile.
Well, let's go. Jiang Cheng said, "Let's go." He also said this to Qiu Qingqing behind him. Qiu Qingqing didn't know when she turned into that cold look again. She didn't say a word the whole time. She just looked at Jiang Cheng, nodded, and followed him.
The two girls also separated, one continued to walk towards the river, and the girl with fair skin took Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing towards her home.
"My name is Xiaoqing. What's yours?" said the girl.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Qiu Qingqing beside him. She also had an embarrassed look on her face at this moment, but still didn't speak. "Qiu Zi." Qiu Qingqing suddenly said.
Jiang Cheng didn't expect Qiu Qingqing to suddenly change her name.
Jiang Cheng?" Xiaoqing called out silently a few times, smiling with her eyes curved, "Sister Qiu Zi, you are so beautiful. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you." Xiaoqing said to Qiu Qingqing next to her.
You are also very cute. "Qiu Qingqing said. Xiaoqing was praised and looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
Jiang Cheng didn't expect Qiu Qing to actually speak. Normally, Qiu Qingqing would ignore such things.
"It's in front!" Xiaoqing pointed to an ordinary house in front and said. Jiang saw that this village looked very ordinary along the way. It seemed to be a self-sufficient village with beautiful scenery. It looked beautiful and innocent. It really looked like a paradise.
"What are you doing?" an old lady came over and asked, looking at Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing next to Xiaoqing.
"Ah, Aunt Li, these are my cousins. They are here to visit us for a few days," Xiaoqing said.
The old lady kept looking at Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing, and had no intention of leaving. "Oh, they look like city people, they are both so good-looking.
I don't even know where they got married." The aunt looked at Jiang Cheng and said.
Qiu Qingji looked impatient. She was still cold but looked completely angry. Jiang Cheng didn't know why this old lady was blocking the way and not letting anyone pass.
"Aunt Li, we're leaving first. We have something else to do. Let's talk about it another day." Xiao Qing said.
The auntie then moved aside and said, "Okay, you guys go and do your work first." Although the auntie walked away, she was still muttering to herself.
"People here are like this. If I don't tell you that you are my relatives, it will be troublesome..." Xiao Qing looked at Jiang Cheng timidly and said a little embarrassedly.
Jiang Cheng nodded, thinking that Xiaoqing was very smart. It seemed that she was not so confused about his and Qiu Qingqing's intentions.
Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Cheng and saw that he didn't blame her. She was also happy and smiled shyly. "It's just in front. I'll go open the door first." Xiaoqing said and started to soak.
"I think there's something wrong with Xiaoqing. You'd better be careful." Jiang Cheng said to Qiu Qingqing.
Qiu Qingqing suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you are not bewitched. Don't forget that my name is Qiu Zi."
Confused? What does that mean?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Is that what it means literally? Can't you see that the girl likes you?" Qiu Qingqing said.
"What does that have to do with anything? Don't you think there's something wrong with her? We met by such a coincidence, and she told others that she kissed us." Jiang Cheng said.
"Oh, I see." Qiu Qingqing shrugged helplessly, indicating that she knew.
Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing also arrived at Xiaoqing's home very quickly. Xiaoqing's home was bigger than they had imagined. It had a small yard with lush green vegetables, and it looked well-maintained.
The yard was also very clean. When Jiang Cheng was looking around, he saw Xiaoqing and a woman who looked like Xiaoqing's mother walking out of the house opposite. She looked a bit like Xiaoqing, except that she had deep wrinkles on her face, but the way she looked at people was as timid as Xiaoqing's.
Mom, this is the person who wants to stay at our house." Xiaoqing said.
Xiaoqing's mother looked at Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing behind him, and paused with her eyes on Qiu Qingqing. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't say anything for a long time. She just looked at Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing.
We just want to stay for one night and leave tomorrow, and we will pay you accordingly. "Jiang Cheng said, looking at Xiaoqing's mother who seemed a little hesitant.
Mom? What's wrong with you? Xiaoqing pushed her mother next to her and whispered something in her mother's ear. Her mother's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. "Oh, okay. You don't need any reward, just come and live here." Xiaoqing's mother suddenly said to Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing, with a big smile on her face.
Jiang Cheng looked at Qiu Qingqing behind him and saw the same look of understanding on her face. Of course Jiang Cheng said nothing, "Thank you for your help.
It’s not a big deal, come in and eat first, dinner is ready.
Xiaoqing’s mother said.
Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing did not show any humility and went into the house. Jiang Cheng saw that the furnishings in front of him were simple, just an ordinary farmhouse. There seemed to be a few dishes on the table, which looked quite sumptuous.
"You guys sit down first. I'll go cook a few more dishes." Xiaoqing's mother greeted Jiang Zai and Qiu Qingqing.
It's okay. No need, it's enough to eat. "Jiang Cheng said quickly.
Xiaoqing's mother still insisted on going to the kitchen to cook. Jiang Cheng felt a little embarrassed. "You guys eat first. Brother Jiang. And Sister Qiu." Xiaoqing said. She also poured two cups of tea for Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing.
Jiang Cheng hadn't heard anyone call him Brother Jiang for a long time. The person who called him that before was probably Yun Duo, and he didn't know what happened to her now. Jiang Cheng was still worried about Ming.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a while, then turned around and found that Qiu Qingqing had already started eating. She looked really hungry, but even so, Qiu Qingqing's eating manners were still very elegant. Jiang Cheng thought as he watched.
"Why don't you eat, Brother Jiang?" Xiaoqing asked, glancing at Qiu Qingqing beside her.
Ah, OK. You eat too. "Jiang Cheng was just looking at Qiu Qingqing thinking about something. Qiu Qingqing took a sip of tea and suddenly smiled. Jiang Cheng heard the laughter and looked up at Qiu Qingqing. Seeing Qiu Qingqing's playful smile, he immediately lowered his head and ate a mouthful of rice.
Xiaoqing looked at the two people's performance, and a bit of viciousness flashed in her lowered eyes. It was completely unlike her usual innocence.
