Chapter 21 Don’t let him know
"Huh?" He Jing didn't understand, but told the truth, "I weeded yesterday and hoeed the ground this morning."
“I don’t know what to do this afternoon.”
"You just came back and they asked you to go to work. Can you do it?" Zhou Qian'an frowned, not quite agreeing with the He family's approach.
He Jing felt looked down upon and was not happy about it. "I can do it."
"Your hands are all rubbed raw, and you're still being stubborn." Zhou Qian shook his head repeatedly, "You should do some work at home and take your time."
He Jing wanted to retort, but was caught off guard when she heard him say that his hands were rubbed raw. She looked down subconsciously and saw that the palms of her hands were indeed red and a little painful when touched.
But compared with the injuries he suffered in the previous life, they were nothing to mention.
She didn't take it to heart.
However, He Jing didn’t expect Zhou Qian’an to see it and care about it.
For a moment, He Jing felt mixed emotions.
"It makes no difference whether it's early or late, it's all the same." He Jing lowered her eyelids, "You just have to adapt to it."
Zhou Qianan took the bucket to fill it with water and said as he looked at the water, "If you marry me, I won't let you do this."
He Jing found it very funny, "What are the things that we don't do?"
"You stay at home every day to do laundry and cook? You take good care of the whole family, and no one has any complaints. Is that okay?"
"When I want to buy something, I have to ask for money?"
This kind of life is too depressing.
He Jing will never experience this again.
"Aren't women supposed to do laundry and cooking at home?" Zhou Qi'an didn't understand why her expression suddenly changed. "Men work outside to earn money. It has always been like this."
"If you don't want to, we can do it the other way around."
"You can work outside and earn money, and I can do the laundry and cooking at home," said Zhou Qian.
"But the work is very tiring. You have to support two people and do more than ten work points every day. You can't do it." Zhou Qian'an added.
"..."
After all, it's still the same principle.
He Jing didn't want to continue this topic, and...
"Zhou Qi'an, we are not close enough to discuss this."
"Oh." Zhou Qi'an didn't really care about this and continued, "I really want to marry you."
“So I couldn’t help but want to say it.”
"But I will learn to control it now."
"But there is one thing I want you to know." Zhou Qian's black eyes stared at her closely.
He Jing was not used to being watched, so she turned her head to look at the bucket, which was almost full.
"You said."
"What I said can definitely be done."
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
"Time will prove everything."
The water is full.
Zhou Qianan picked it up with one hand and walked all the way without spilling a drop of water.
He Jing stared at it in a daze.
The roof of the thatched house was a little messy, but the surroundings were clean and free of weeds. It was obvious that it had been specially cleaned.
The house was clean and tidy, and there was even a quilt.
It doesn't look like it was left behind by a hunter, but rather like someone had picked it up specifically.
"Did you see that?" Zhou Qi put the bucket away, glanced over, and then said, "This is also where I usually rest."
"Rest during normal times?" He Jing was very confused. "You also go hunting in the mountains?"
"Yeah, what's so strange about that?" Zhou Qianan smiled and pointed to the single room and said to her, "Wait a minute, you can take a shower here."
"I'll watch for you outside."
After saying that, Zhou Qian went out, leaving He Jing alone.
She looked around and found the ground and corners were very clean. It was obvious that the people living here cleaned regularly.
The bedding on the small bed in the corner is very clean and washed regularly.
He Jing turned and went to the shower room, which was blocked by a curtain, so it was safe and no one outside could see her.
The bucket was full but a little cold.
After He Jing changed her clothes, she patted her chest a little bit to make sure her body could adapt to the water temperature, and then she began to rinse her body slowly.
The thatched house is not soundproof, and Zhou Qian can hear the sound of water inside the house clearly from outside.
He walked a few steps away, and when he felt that he couldn't hear it so clearly, he slowly exhaled, and then thought of the way He Jing clenched her fist before.
Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes and pinched his chin, wondering what she was thinking at that time and why she was like that.
Zhou Qian wanted to ask, but at that time he felt that there would be no answer.
"How strange." Zhou Qian'an glanced sideways. He couldn't see what was going on inside, but he could hear a little bit of water sound. The image of He Jing taking a bath couldn't help but emerge in his mind.
cough cough.
Zhou Qian shook his head and forced himself to look away.
It didn't take He Jing long to take a bath, but to Zhou Qian'an, it felt like half a century.
After she came out, Zhou Qian clenched his fist and coughed, "Wash the clothes here and take them back."
"There's still some time now. You can rest for ten or twenty minutes when you get back."
He Jing didn't have a watch, so she wasn't sure what time it was, but it was a little after one when she left the house, and she had to go to work at 2:30 in the afternoon.
From what he said now, it should be almost two o'clock.
"Yeah." He Jing went to wash clothes.
Zhou Qi had nothing to do, so he ran over to take a look. He originally wanted to squat down and chat, but when he took a quick glance and saw the underwear, he immediately shifted his gaze.
"I'll wait for you over there."
"Call me if you need anything."
"Yeah." He Jing didn't know what he saw, and didn't think too much about it. After watching him walk away, she lowered her head and continued to wash clothes.
It doesn’t take a lot of time to wash clothes. He Jing listened to the sound of the spring water and suddenly found that life was so comfortable.
My whole heart calmed down involuntarily.
"I need to find some time to go to the town and take a look." He Jing wrung out her clothes, washed her face, and thought as she looked at the clear spring water, "I need to start my business quickly."
"It can't be delayed any longer."
He Jing exhaled, hugged her clothes, and turned to find Zhou Qian'an.
The two of them were in tacit understanding and no one said anything else.
It was quiet all the way.
Seeing that they were almost home, Zhou Qianan broke the silence and said, "I won't send you there."
"Someone will get up now. It will be bad if they see us." Zhou Qian stopped and gave up the clothes he was offering. "Just keep walking forward and you will reach the main road after turning a corner."
"Thank you." He Jing wrote it down.
Zhou Qianan hummed, "Tomorrow, at the same time, I will come to see you."
"I can go there by myself." He Jing said.
Zhou Qi'an disagreed, "I'm worried, and I don't have anything else to do."
"Besides, I'm pursuing you." Zhou Qianan said with a smile, "How can I let go of such an opportunity to show my affection to you?"
He Jing: “…”
After listening to it once, twice, and several times, she got used to it.
Moreover, I suddenly realized that speaking directly like Zhou Qian'an was much better than beating around the bush and making people guess and be unsure.
But at this moment, He Jing didn't want Zhou Qian'an to know that she was considering dating him.
Otherwise, if he knew about it, he would be so proud that he would die.
