Getting Married on Chronology (Quick Wear) ~ Chapter 3

 Arc 1. Little widow in 1970s ~ chapter 3

Qiu Xiaochan concentrated on picking up hogweed. At this time, the sun hadn't risen. It was the best time of the day to work. There were a lot of water and grass on the riverside, and the bamboo baskets were filled in a short while.

She was about to leave when a young man came over to talk.

"Xiaochan, is this basket sinking? I'll help you carry it."

Qiu Xiaochan looked back and found that the person who was talking was Shi Dalin, who was long and honest, and smiled with big white teeth. He was as vigorous as a willow tree by the river. He is one of the young people who had a good impression of the original owner.

Qiu Xiaochan replied, "No, I can do it myself, thank you Brother Dalin."

Shi Dalin touched the back of his head and smiled, "You remember me, I thought you forgot me."

"How could I forget the same villager”

In the memory of the original owner, Shi Dalin really liked her, but his family did look down on Qiu Xiaochan, saying that she was delicate and weak and couldn't work, and the family couldn't support such a charming lady.

Qiu Xiaochan has never liked to be emotionally muddled. Now that she has a strategy goal, she won't waste time on other people. Besides, Shi Dalin is not the type she likes.

She picked up the bamboo basket and said, "Brother Dalin, then I'll leave first."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Xiaochan left with a twisted braid. Her skin was extremely white, her eyes were peach blossoms, the ends of her eyes were slightly raised, and her pink lips were smiling it looks very beautiful when it curved. The hand holding the back rope is delicate and smooth, and the back of the hand is filled with light blue meridians. This kind of hands can't bear to let it do a little work. Shi Dalin can't wait to do it for her.

He stared at Qiu Xiaochan's back in a daze, until his mother slapped him on the back of the head.

"Look at what you can see, what you can eat as a meal, don't move those thoughts that shouldn't be, and go to work quickly."

Shi Dalin struck the back of his neck, "Mom, Xiaochan is pretty good, you see her every day she can earn work points by picking pig grass."

Aunt Shi sneered, "I can't make a living with three work points. Whose daughter is such a big girl who doesn't earn six or seven work points, do you think she is so thin that she looks good for life? You want our family to be the last."

She gave birth to four daughters to get the son, that is Shi Dalin. Everything good is close to him. This gave birth to her son's unrealistic ideas. Aunt Shi decided not to be picky anymore, and she had to quickly choose her daughter-in-law. Only if you have a daughter-in-law and son can take care of himself.

Qiu Xiaochan ran into her sister-in-law Chen Guilian on the way to the pig farm. She rarely saw her sister-in-law go out. Chen Guilian still remembered the day before yesterday that she could not get married. She squinted and said sarcastically, "Yeah, isn't this the landlord's daughter-in-law? Why do you want to come out to fight pig grass by yourself?"

Qiu Xiaochan is not the kind of soft temper like the original owner. She smiled and said something and went back. "Sister-in-law, our country has long been poor. You always treat the landlord or something, talking to others like you miss the days before."

Chen Guilian might as well dare to answer her mouth and buckle her hat [1] she can make her more frustrated.

"You spit less bloody, if you are clever, you can do it, and you will feel better in the future."

After talking, Chen Guilian spit on the ground and left. Qiu Xiaochan looked at her back and smiled. In this life, it's okay not to provoke her, but if she provoke her a little bit, she will never give up, and take revenge for the original owner in previous life.

As the saying goes, evil is rewarded, and good is rewarded for good. It is that the time has not come.

After five days in this way, Qiu Xiaochan gradually became familiar with Gu Wenqian's life rules.

After herding the cows at around 7 o'clock in the morning, he will clean the cowshed and transport the cow dung to the designated place for fermentation. After that, he will do some carpentry, prepare a simple lunch, and drive the cows back to the cowshed to escape the heat at around 11 o'clock. Feed water, take a one-hour lunch break after eating, and let the cows return at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The days are simple and fulfilling, and occasionally he will go out or someone will come to him to find something, but not many times.

After understanding his life pattern, Qiu Xiaochan was ready to act, choosing the time between 3:30 and 4:00 in the afternoon. During this time, the heat outside the house has not subsided, and most of the villagers gather under the old locust tree at the east end of the village to enjoy the coolness, or work in the fields, not wandering around the village.

Before setting off, she made full preparations and changed to a tender yellow short-sleeved shirt. The reason for picking this one is also for a reason. Although this dress will stick tightly after being wet, it will not run out. The other two white shirts, after being soaked, wearing it on the body has the same effect as the see-through costume. People in the village come and go, and it is her who will suffer if she is seen by others.

When going out with a bamboo basket on her back, Qiu Xiaochan suddenly gave birth to a brave and fearless spirit. After living for decades and doing so many tasks, this was the first time she took the initiative to seduce a man.

Perhaps because she was thinking about things in her heart, Qiu Xiaochan walked very anxiously along the way. She lost her interest in admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains. She walked to the river and saw Gu Wenqian herding cows on the ground. She took a deep breath and squatted down by the river bank. Fetching aquatic plants, while fetching, pay attention to Gu Wenqian's situation there.

Soon Gu Wenqian walked from the ground to the cowshed, Qiu Xiaochan also carried a bamboo basket to mow grass in the direction of the cowshed. In order to strive for authenticity, she tried to reach a plant far away from the shore and pretended to have lost her footing.

At this moment, she took out one hundred and twenty points of acting, constantly making psychological hints that she was a person who couldn't swim, and out of her survival instinct, she flopped in the lake and shouted for help. She choked of water as soon as she said something.

What’s more unfortunate is that her ankle was entangled by the water weeds for some reason. Qiu Xiaochan was really anxious now, for a while she is thinking that Gu Wenqian didn't hear anything or the group of people was unwilling to come out to save people. Isn’t she really going to be finished?

Qiu Xiaochan was about to ask about the situation outside of the system. Hearing a loud noise in the water, someone jumped down. She opened her eyes laboriously and looked in water splash, and saw Gu Wenqian's sharp eyes and sturdy arms on the water, he was swimming towards herself, immediately relieved, letting her body sink along with the power of the water, she quickly exchanged her points for a skill of "frail and weak", making her dizzy more realistic.

Before fainting, Qiu Xiaochan felt her body hit a warm and strong arm.

Gu Wenqian had guessed that the person who fell into the water was Qiu Xiaochan, who appeared every day recently. He was a little talker. He occasionally heard people in the village talk about her. He knew that she was also a victim of the times. His impression of her was not very good, but it was not good or not bad. At this time, she closed her eyes and fainted in her arms. Although she could feel her soft touch through the clothes, he endured the urge to withdraw his arms and pressed his lips to bring her to the shore.

When he was about to reach the shore, he encountered resistance, only to find that her feet was hooked by the water plants. Gu Wenqian pulled the water plants away before pulling the person onto the shore smoothly.

At this time, many people in the village were close to hear the movement rushing over. There were old and young, men and women. From a distance, they saw Gu Wenqian wet all over, holding a similarly wet girl in her arms, and someone with sharp eyes spotted the girl. It is Qiu Xiaochan.

"Yeah, isn't that Xiaochan? Why did you fall into the water for no reason?"

Everyone stared at the two of them together. In normal times, it is very unconventional for a man and a woman to hold each other in broad daylight, but today is to save people. Naturally, they can't talk about that, but Qiu Xiaochan is not married. At this time, she is lying in the arms of a man with her body soaking and curvy. The elders still have to say, not to mention her reputation is not very good.

Gu Wenqian placed Qiu Xiaochan on the ground and saw her face pale, her eyes closed, as if losing consciousness, he first probed the tip of her nose, her breath was weak, and there was a certain degree of danger.

He learned first aid and knew that drowning would need to be dealt with quickly. He only hesitated for a moment and immediately reached out and raised Qiu Xiaochan’s chin. After opening the airway, he pinched the tip of her nose to perform artificial respiration. The fingers stick to her lips during the whole process. But the onlookers had already dropped their jaws in shock.

"Is this a kiss?"

"It should be, I think it's mouth-to-mouth."

"Is there such a way to save people? Isn't this comrade Gu taking advantage?"

"No, comrade Gu is an educated comrade, has a college degree."

"What's so good about Qiu Xiaochan? She can take advantage of comrade Gu."

"Then Xiaochan is a girl, and she hasn't married yet."

"If she can marry, wouldn’t she get married early?"

 "That's true, but to be honest, one of them is the descendant of the capitalist and the other is the former daughter-in-law of the landlord's family. They are quite right in terms of composition.”

On the ground, Gu Wenqian looked at Qiu Xiaochan nervously after artificial respiration. She woke up with a cough, curled up and spit out the water that choked into her stomach. Gu Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up and stood on the open space one meter away from her.

He has heard the whispers of everyone and knows that gossip is indispensable for a period of time. But he was trying to save people, and besides, he didn't really meet her. He had a clear conscience about this, but he had already understood a truth, and some things could not be explained clearly.

People are terrible, and since people are fine, they naturally have to keep their distance

Qiu Xiaochan lay on the ground and coughed for a while. She really admired those who jumped to find death. She was so courageous but she would never try again. Fortunately, she could cheat by using system to pretend be dizzy.

Not all of the onlookers were cold-eyed people. After the initial shock, there is some elders who came up to express their concern for Qiu Xiaochan. Among them, two young mans wanted to come over, but they gave up after being screwed twice by their parents.

A kind-faced aunt squatted down and asked with concern, "Xiaochan, are you okay? Did you accidentally fall into the river? Fortunately, Comrade Gu saved you. If something happen to you, your mother will have to die in a hurry."

This Auntie He and Zhang Daying are in the same village, and the relationship has always been very close like relatives.

The river does not look big but it is very deep. Some children in the village had trouble playing in the water before, so the elders ordered the children in the family to come here to play in the water.

Qiu Xiaochan responded weakly, and then raised her head to look at Gu Wenqian who was not far away. Her eyes were gleaming and her nose was red, and she looked innocent and pitiful. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Comrade Gu, if it weren't for you. I would have die in the river."

Gu Wenqian avoided her gaze after only one glance, and nodded, "Just pay attention to it in the future. If it's okay, go back quickly."

A girl house with drenched appearance lying on the ground, it is unsightly. It is summer again, and everyone wears less clothes. If he takes off his clothes and gives to other, he will have to be shirtless.

After Gu Wenqian finished speaking, he got up and went to the direction of the cowshed, leaving Qiu Xiaochan and a group of villagers watching the excitement.

Qiu Xiaochan is not in a hurry to see that he is gone. For her, she has achieved a strategic victory if he can come forward to save himself. The rest is naturally dependent on the strength of the people. The villagers of Shangyao Village must not let her down.
