I live in the countryside

Chapter 176 Marry Me? (Double more in one)

Qiao Churan successfully got the number of the person in charge of the bank's agricultural assistance business, thinking that someone would contact the bank next Monday, but she always felt that Yan Xiaoyu's attitude was a little strange.

Yan Xiaoyu repeatedly emphasized: "It's really nothing, you think too much, hey, who doesn't want to work 29 days a month?"

Fang Shanshan said: "Could it be because your parents arranged a blind date for you?"

Yan Xiaoyu was actually about the same age as Qiao Churan, but after the two graduated from high school, Qiao Churan was admitted to Beicheng University, while Yan Xiaoyu and Fang Shanshan went to the health school and the other to the business school in Longcheng.

At that time, Yan Xiaoyu's grades were not very bad. If she could go to a secondary school in the province, it would be fine, but her family was poor. Her parents heard that it was difficult to find a job after the secondary school, so they let her go to a junior college. After graduating from business school, he was directly admitted to the bank in the town and worked in the bank.

Parents also feel decent.

So, when Qiao Churan was a junior, Fang Shanshan both graduated and went to work.

In the countryside, at the age of 23 or [-], in the eyes of her parents, she is already very old, but Yan Xiaoyu has never even talked about a relationship in these years.

Her parents arranged many blind dates, but Yan Xiaoyu couldn't make it through any of them.

Recently, because of this matter, Yan Xiaoyu had a lot of arguments with her parents, and in the small group of three, she complained many times.

In the countryside, there are very few parents like Chen Mei who are more open-minded about their daughters' lives. Most of the parents hope that their daughters will marry after graduation. She is already a mother of one or two children. In the eyes of Yan's parents, Yan Xiaoyu is really old.

Unless Yan Xiaoyu falls in love immediately, there is no solution to this matter.

"If only my parents were like your parents." Yan Xiaoyu's tone was full of envy: "I really can't understand them, saying that girls always marry, and those who don't get married at my age are old girls. not worth."

When Yan Xiaoyu said it, he always felt wronged in his heart.

Her parents are different from Ranran's parents, they are very patriarchal, they didn't let her go to college back then, and they didn't want to spend money on her, they focused on her brother.

Qiao Churan patted her on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort her for a moment.

Yan Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Okay, don't be so discouraged, I am just annoyed by being forced, and I listen to my mother talking about it every day, but she can't really force me to marry immediately."

Qiao Churan raised her eyebrows, and joked, "I'll be a matchmaker, and I'll introduce you to each other."

Yan Xiaoyu laughed: "Okay, you should introduce me."

Qiao Churan blinked: "What do you think you like?"

"Of course he's handsome and tall, mainly because it suits my eyes." Yan Xiaoyu said with eyebrows flying. I have to say that Wuxi Town has beautiful mountains and rivers. Yan Xiaoyu is 1.6 meters [-] meters tall and has an oval face. He has a handsome appearance, especially when he smiles.

The appearance in this Qingxi Village is also very good. She just graduated two years ago, and the threshold of the Yan family was about to be broken, but she had never dated anyone. Over time, the matchmaker was unwilling to come to the door, and her mother scolded her several times. Now, at the age of 24 and five, there are very few country men at her age who are not married.

Fang Shanshan cut her head: "Close your eyes, let me tell you, your demands are high demands."

As she said that, Fang Shanshan said with a smirk: "Let Ranran introduce you to those handsome guys from Yingbo's family?"

Yan Xiaoyu rolled his eyes: "Forget it, it's obviously not suitable, the three views are different, and we can't get together. Although I'm jealous of his appearance, I can't help but know myself."

Qiao Churan sneered: "It's not that serious."

Yan Xiaoyu shook her head: "Forget it, it's okay to know each other, but it's not good to be a boyfriend and girlfriend."

Qiao Churan said again: "The Agricultural Economic Society also has people of similar age, oh, and young people from various villages."

Yan Xiaoyu glanced at her: "She just graduated from university, I don't want a puppy."

Qiao Churan blinked and said, "You like deep and steady ones? It's not uncommon. I talked to Xu Fang from Tongmu Village two days ago, oh, the Xu Fang I just mentioned, I think he's still thinking about it." Looking for a girlfriend in our Wuxi Town."

Yan Xiaoyu's reaction was a bit big: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just joking with you."

"No." Qiao Churan looked at Yan Xiaoyu up and down and said, "You used to talk so much, but now you reject him without even looking at the pictures of handsome guys. Yan Xiaoyu, there is something wrong with you."

Yan Xiaoyu shifted the flames of battle to Fang Shanshan: "Don't you think Shanshan is suspicious? She doesn't even talk about it, and keeps paying attention to me?"

Qiao Churan looked at the two suspiciously.

Fang Shanshan seems to have realized something: "I, am I more concerned about Xiaoyu's affairs? Ranran, you are not kind, we are obviously in the same trench."

Qiao Churan: "..."

She didn't know what Fang Shanshan was guilty of, but she and Yan Xiaoyu finally found a reason to run away.

Qiao Churan watched the two leave and knew that things were not that tense.

But before she could think about it, Qin Muzhou called.

Qiao Churan laughed, and answered the phone, "Is it you about Weibo?"

Afterwards, I couldn't even search for related topics, and when I searched, it was prompted that the topic violated the rules and could not be displayed. Apart from Qin Muzhou hacking the system, Qiao Churan couldn't think of any other reasons. After all, this was not the first time.

Qin Muzhou snorted lightly, as he agreed to the matter.

Qiao Churan joked, "Boss Qin, your public relations method really doesn't work."

Qin Muzhou didn't think: "This is called dredging. A group of people who are full and have nothing to do, should Ranran still speak for them?"

Of course, it is impossible for Qiao Churan to speak for black fans, she just joked a few words, but she really didn't care much, "I don't think it's a big deal, this kind of thing is like a double-edged sword, it can bring Wuxi Town I don’t care if it comes to actual benefits, at most it’s just some boring people’s swearing and scolding.”

If a few verbal curses can bring unexpected attention to Wuxi Town, she doesn't mind this kind of verbal argument and self-aggrandizement.

"I care." Qin Muzhou said, "Ranran, no matter how Wuxi Town will go in the future, I don't want to sacrifice anything of yours."

Qiao Churan was silent for a while, and her voice softened a few times: "Got it."

The two of them didn't continue this topic, and talked about other things.

Early the next morning, Qin Muzhou drove over to pick up Qiao Churan and Qiao Yiyao.

Zhou Yang was already sitting in the car. Today, the two of them were going to the provincial capital and flew to Beicheng to attend a summer camp.

Qiao Yiyao walked briskly, like a bird out of the cage, not at all reluctant to part with his parents.

The plane was at three o'clock in the afternoon. After the car arrived in the provincial capital, it drove directly to the airport.

As Qiao Yiyao grew up with Zhou Yang, the farthest place he went to was the county seat of Chaoyang County. It was the first time he came to Beicheng, and Qiao Yiyao's excitement could be imagined.

Qiao Churan bought a lot of things for the two of them, like a parent who was worried about the child going out, and gave a lot of advice on the way, until she saw Qiao Yiyao dragging the suitcase into the boarding gate heartlessly. He let out a sigh of relief.

For some reason, she suddenly had a strange thought: "If the child grows up in the future and leaves without any regrets, I don't know how we feel."

Qin Muzhou paused, and put his arm around Qiao Churan's shoulder: "But I will always be with you."

Qiao Churan looked up at Qin Muzhou, and couldn't help but smile. Instead, Qin Muzhou showed a smirk: "Now I'm thinking about what will happen so long ago. As expected, Ranran is more anxious to get married than I am."

The little emotion in Qiao Churan's heart was swept away, and she elbowed Qin Muzhou.

The two really came to see the house. The house was on the bank of the river some distance from the city center.

Because it is the real estate owned by the Shen family, when Qin Muzhou planned to buy these two villas, he had already done some sorting, and now he came to see the results.

According to what Qin Muzhou told Qiao Churan, the main purpose was to ask her to come and have a look and decide on the decoration style.

So, Qiao Churan came here.

When Qiao Churan used to work in the provincial capital, he rarely came to this area, but he knew that this is the place with the best river view in the provincial capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich area in the provincial capital.

Qin Muzhou drove her into a community, and stopped in front of a villa.

Qiao Churan came here for the first time, and she couldn't help sighing: "This place has a good environment and beautiful scenery. In the future, uncles and aunts will live here, and it will be quiet, which will help you recuperate."

"Our house is also here. When our parents come, we can come here often."

Qiao Churan laughed: "I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

In fact, Qiao Churan still feels a little unclear about the future plan, but now it seems that the provincial capital will definitely not be a place where he often lives in the future.

While speaking, the car had already turned several intersections, and finally stopped in front of a small brick-red villa.

It's a bit of a tropical garden style, and Qiao Churan's heart is poked at just a glance, it's her favorite type.

"Just looking at the outside, why do I feel that the decoration is complete, as if I can move in at any time." Qiao Churan couldn't help asking.

Qin Muzhou smiled without saying a word, got out of the car first, came over to open the door for Qiao Churan, and took her hand out.

Qiao Churan looked at it in private, and felt that Qin Muzhou took her hand and put a bunch of keys in her palm.

"Mistress." Qin Muzhou smiled lowly, raised his chin, and signaled the direction of the door: "Open the door."

A strange feeling rose in Qiao Churan's heart. He looked at Qin Muzhou and then at the key in his hand. Without thinking too much, he took the key and went to open the door.

The key was given to Qin Muzhou after the people here packed up the house.

After entering the gate, there is a small garden. After walking for a short distance, we reach the main entrance. Although the provincial capital is not expensive, there is only one place in the whole city that can have a villa of this size.

For some reason, the closer Qiao Churan got to the door, the more her heartbeat became uncontrollable. She suddenly had a strong intuition, as if something was about to happen.

Seeing her standing at the door, holding out the key but not inserting it into the keyhole.

Qin Muzhou smiled: "Open the door."

Qiao Churan turned her head and looked at Qin Muzhou, but saw that the smile on his face was still gentle as before.

However, after all, they are lovers who get along day and night, and some subtle changes can still be seen.

He is nervous.

Qiao Churan blamed herself for being too smart.

This house must have been renovated. Qin Muzhou deliberately said that it was not renovated, so he tricked her to come over and give a surprise?
Otherwise, why are the curtains on all the windows drawn, so you can’t see anything inside, and even the garden has been tidied up, it’s not like a house that hasn’t been renovated.

Thinking of this, Qiao Churan decided not to expose Mr. Qin's little trick.

With this in mind, she inserted the key into the keyhole, twisted it slightly, and the door opened.

Inside the opened door, there was a burst of floral fragrance.

But the first thing that catches Qiao Churan's eyes is not the well-decorated house, but the room full of roses, twinkling star lights, and colorful balloons hanging above his head.

The surprise she thought was not limited to this.

Even though she said many words like "marriage" verbally, Qiao Churan thought that when that day came, her heart would be very peaceful, but those who saw this scene still jumped violently a bit.

The soothing music sounded immediately, it was her favorite love song in a foreign language. The white curtains that had been drawn before were slowly opened, revealing the floor-to-ceiling windows, the garden of the villa, the perennial flowers and trees in the provincial capital, and the window outside the window. Bloom bright red roses.

In the afternoon, the sun in June slanted in from the window, everything seemed so unreal.

The real Qin Muzhou was standing behind him at this moment.

Qiao Churan turned around, "You..."

She was suddenly speechless.

Then I saw Qin Muzhou kneeling on one knee, holding a ring in his hand.

The man's voice was slightly low, with a hint of nervousness, "Ranran, I have been saying that I want to marry you, but there is no decent proposal. Perhaps in your opinion, our dating time is less than half a year. time, but from the day I saw you in Wuxi Town, I was ready to spend my whole life with you."

The eye circles suddenly turned red.

Qiao Churan didn't know what was going on with her, she listened to every word Qin Muzhou said, but suddenly felt as if she had lost the ability to think.

All emotions and moods are affected by his every word and every look.

He was still kneeling, looking at her devoutly like a believer: "I have wanted to propose marriage for a long time. In my nearly 28 years of life, from the time I began to yearn for love and marriage, I imagined my wife. Your appearance, Ranran, marry me, let me be lucky to be the one who will accompany you all your life, okay?"

At the end, Qin Muzhou's voice even trembled a little. The hand holding the ring had bulging veins, obviously restraining himself.

But even so, his nervousness was revealed, and sweat was already dripping from his forehead.

Qiao Churan's gaze slowly shifted from Qin Muzhou's nervous face to the velvet box in his hand, where a small pink and purple diamond ring stood quietly.

"Ranran, marry me."

Qin Muzhou's voice was already slightly hoarse, and he could no longer hide his nervousness.

But he didn't want to wait any longer. The idea of ​​getting married has been completely settled since the first day he and Qiao Churan were together. Like a small tree, it grows with such intense desire every day, and now it has become a towering tree. The big tree can't be stopped.

What the future will be like, Qiao Churan has never really thought about it since she was with Qin Muzhou, because this man has brought her a full sense of security, and she dares to believe that no matter what the future is, they will always stand side by side Row.

And she is capable enough to undertake any changes in the future.

No need to think about it at all.

All Qiao Churan could do was stretch out her right hand and nod in agreement.

"Ah."

Her eyes were red, but there was a smile on her face.

"Mr. Qin, from today onwards, you are allowed a chance to watch Qiao Churan gradually become an old woman. You are the only one in this world."

With trembling hands, Qin Muzhou pushed the ruler into Qiao Churan's finger. Because of his nervousness, he even tried a few times before pushing it in.

Qiao Churan wanted to laugh, but felt that such an occasion would make Mr. Qin lose face, so the ninja didn't laugh.

Qin Muzhou took her hand that put on the proposal ring, and kissed it lightly: "My honor."

The two looked at each other for a long time, with tears in their eyes, but they couldn't help laughing.

"You're not up yet." Qiao Churan pulled him.

Qin Muzhou's face was a little weird, and he staggered when Qiao Churan pulled him up.

"Legs are numb..."

Qiao Churan chuckled, and hugged him: "Are you so nervous?"

She would always say yes to the proposal.

Kneeling on one knee for a while, naturally, the legs won't go numb. The only reason is that Qin Muzhou is too nervous, and his body is tense.

Qin Muzhou was a little embarrassed and helpless: "It's the first and only time in my life that I don't know what to do."

"No bottom?"

Qin Muzhou didn't speak. Facing the girl he loves, facing such a good Ranran, he always felt that what he had now was too little, and he was afraid that he would not be able to give her more.

How could Qiao Churan not know what he was thinking, her heart was both sweet and a little helpless: "You are the best, there is no one else in the world who is better than you."

Qin Muzhou hummed softly, bowed his head and kissed Qiao Churan's temples.

"When did you get ready?" Qiao Churan hugged Qin Muzhou's waist, and the smile in her eyes was like twinkling stars. She should be glad that when she went out today, she wore a dress she liked, which was worthy of commemorating this special occasion. day.

Only then did I remember that what Qin Muzhou was wearing today was somewhat formal.

The white shirt is meticulous, as if going to take a wedding photo.

Qin Muzhou said: "I've been preparing for a long time, and when I plan to bring you here, let people start preparing."

Qiao Churan was sweet in his heart, "Mr. Qin, you have ulterior motives, and you said to take me to see the house, but it turned out to be of no use."

Qin Muzhou bowed his head and kissed her, the smile in his eyes was obvious: "Well, not only do you have ulterior motives, but you have also planned it for a long time."

Qiao Churan looked at him, and when he thought about it, he heard Qin Muzhou's happy smile, and his forehead was pressed against Qiao Churan's: "Ranran, I'm very happy."

The smile in his eyes couldn't be more obvious: "This is our first house in the true sense. It will be a home in the future. Maybe our children will grow up here, and you promise me here that I will be your companion." people for life."

Qiao Churan's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, as if he had seen the life of the two of them together in the future, for Qin Muzhou, for his expectation, every day in the future.

Needless to say, Qiao Churan kissed her, thinking about her toes.

A kiss that doesn't have much lust, but can't bear enough love.

She wanted to, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Qin Muzhou.

The two stood in this living room covered with flowers, their feet intertwined, as if they didn't know the passage of time.

The setting sun that came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows slowly moved out from under their feet, and finally disappeared in the yard outside the villa. The sun turned into a salted egg yolk, hanging on the bank of the river at sunset.

The intertwined figures have not yet been separated.

Qiao Churan's lips and tongue were going numb, but she just couldn't bear to part, just hugging and kissing like this seemed to be able to last forever.

But he was really tired, so Qin Muzhou hugged her and sat down on the sofa, still unfinished, kissing her face like the sunset outside the window little by little.

Of course, he wasn't much better off.

The problem of blushing when kissed, can't be changed after so long.

Qiao Churan couldn't take it anymore, hugged Qin Muzhou's neck and shouted to stop, then asked him, "Can you tell me now, when exactly did you like me?"

Qin Muzhou smiled lowly: "Can't guess yet?"

In fact, there is no need to guess at all, Qiao Churan has already thought of it in his heart, the only intersection they have in common is at Beicheng University.

She didn't think of it, after all, at that time, she didn't know this person at all.

"Mr. Qin, it's so well hidden."

Even, maybe, she felt shamelessly that the love and protagonist in Qin Muzhou's circle of friends was herself.

The more we are together, the more we can perceive the long-lasting love in such small details.

"Yeah." Qin Muzhou didn't hide anything, "So, Ranran, let's celebrate tonight?"

Qiao Churan: "?"

Understanding the implication, Qiao Churan blinked and asked, "It's agreed to come and see the house."

Qin Muzhou picked her up and said, "Well, let's try the big bed in the master bedroom first to see if it fits?"
