In Zhang Laosan's heart, Jiujiu was as holy as a fairy in the sky, and he was as unbearable as the mud being trampled on. How could he be worthy of a fairy like Jiujiu?
Even if he could feel that Jiujiu was a little interested in him, Zhang Laosan didn't dare to say anything. He was afraid that if Jiujiu said it, he wouldn't be able to look at Jiujiu in the future.
Jiujiu had finished what she wanted to say, but Zhang Laosan didn't say a word. Jiujiu sighed softly and said, "Since Brother Zhang has decided, then you don't have to come in the future. I will prepare a gift for sister-in-law."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she handed the puff in her hand to Zhang Laosan and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, keep this. This is the last time I will give you something."
Suddenly hearing Jiujiu say the last time, Zhang Laosan was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "You don't want to see me in the future?"
Even if he knew that he wasn't worthy of Jiujiu, when he thought that he couldn't see Jiujiu in the future, Zhang Laosan's heart was sour and uncomfortable.
Hearing Zhang Laosan's disappointed voice, Jiujiu chuckled and looked at Zhang Laosan, saying, "No, I have something to do and I have to leave."
Jiujiu looked at Zhang Laosan and said softly, "I thought Brother Zhang would be willing to go with me. Since you don't want to, then forget it. I won't force you. After all, a melon picked by force is not sweet."
Hearing Jiujiu say that she was going to leave, Zhang Laosan felt as heavy as a stone in his heart. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he asked, "Is it because of me?"
Jiujiu shook her head. "It's not because of you, Brother Zhang. It's because I have something to deal with."
Jiujiu looked at Zhang Laosan and said slowly, "I didn't tell Brother Zhang, did I? My leg was injured in that car accident. I had to recuperate in the hospital for more than half a year before I could barely walk. However, my parents passed away. I went back this time because the police informed me that there were some clues about the accident and asked me to go back and cooperate with the investigation."
Zhang Laosan had heard from others that Jiujiu had broken her leg in a car accident. As for Jiujiu's parents' death, it was the first time for him to hear about it. He couldn't connect the girl who was smiling at him with the girl who lost her parents that Jiujiu mentioned.
Zhang Laosan wanted to comfort Jiujiu, but he found that he was clumsy and couldn't say a complete sentence of comfort. In the end, he just asked in a low voice, "Will you come back?"
Jiujiu looked at Zhang Laosan and said with a smile, "I might be back in a few days, or half a year, or I might never come back. I've been staying here all this time because of you, Big Brother Zhang. Since you've already …"
Jiujiu paused and showed a bitter smile on her face. She said gloomily, "I have no reason to stay."
Jiujiu's words were very straightforward. As long as one wasn't stupid, one could understand that the reason why Jiujiu continued to stay was entirely because of Zhang Laosan.
Zhang Laosan's heart, which was already thumping, started to race like a wild horse. Looking at the petite Jiujiu, who was standing in front of him, Zhang Laosan felt that his mouth and tongue were extremely dry. His tongue was so stiff that he couldn't utter a single word. After a long while, he said dryly, "What if I say that I want you to stay?"
After Zhang Laosan finished speaking, he looked at Jiujiu and said bitterly, "Jiujiu, I'm a farmer who only knows how to dig for food in the soil. I don't deserve you."
"How do you know that you don't deserve me if you haven't tried?" Jiujiu looked into Zhang Laosan's eyes and said softly, "The reason why you think that you don't deserve me is that you have no money and no ability, right?"
Zhang Laosan pursed his dry lips and didn't say anything.
Because he had no money and no ability, and he wasn't good-looking. He didn't deserve Jiujiu, a beautiful girl who had studied abroad and was rich. Even if this girl said that she was willing to be with him, he didn't dare to agree, because he was afraid that he couldn't give this girl a good life because he didn't have the ability.
He was used to suffering, but he couldn't bear to let such a good girl like Jiujiu suffer. She was so beautiful and so kind. She should live a carefree life.
As for what kind of life that kind of life was, Zhang Laosan didn't know, but he knew that it was definitely not the life he was living now.
Every morning, he went to the field and dug for food in the soil. It was a cycle. He kept repeating the previous day's life, monotonous and without a future.
He knew how hard his life was, so he didn't want the girl he liked to live such a life with him.
When Jiujiu saw that Zhang Laosan didn't speak, she knew what he was thinking. It was nothing more than his lack of ability.
In fact, after this period of observation, Jiujiu found that although Zhang Laosan was taciturn, he was not stupid. What he lacked was an opportunity to study. Jiujiu believed that Zhang Laosan was a person with perseverance and perseverance. Given time, he would become a very powerful person.
What he lacked was just such an opportunity.
Jiujiu reached out and held Zhang Laosan's hand.
Zhang Laosan's hands were very big, but also very rough. His palms were covered with dense calluses because he had been holding them for years. There were even some fine and dense small wounds. Even if he held them gently, they were as rough as sandpaper.
Jiujiu held Zhang Laosan's hand, and Zhang Laosan quietly let Jiujiu hold it. He didn't hold Jiujiu's hand tightly, nor did he shake off Jiujiu's hand. Because Jiujiu's hand was so delicate, like a baby's hand. No matter if he held it tightly or shook it off, he was afraid that he would hurt Jiujiu.
Feeling Zhang Laosan's obedience, Jiujiu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I know you're not like this. I'm willing to believe you. Please give you a chance and give me a chance, okay?"
Zhang Laosan heard Jiujiu say to him in a pleasant voice, "I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible. During this time, please wait for me. Also, I'll bring some books back. If you want, you can come to me every day to study. I'm willing to pay for your college education."
Jiujiu looked up at Zhang Laosan's face, which was sunburned because of working all year round. She said softly, "Believe me, everything will be different after you go to college."
Zhang Laosan looked at Jiujiu's beautiful face. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word. After a long time, he nodded stiffly.
Seeing Zhang Laosan agree, Jiujiu tiptoed and kissed Zhang Laosan's cheek. Then she took Zhang Laosan's hand and went into the kitchen.
There were not only various novel objects in the kitchen, but also a refrigerator.
