Chapter 205: A Flower Planted In Cow Dung!
It was just at this moment that Chen Feng walked over, smiling as he said to Qin Hengzhi, “The rabbits and wild chickens are very fat at this time. We can eat our fill today, right?”
Qin Hengzhi nodded: “Should be able to.” But he pushed the hunting rifle to the inner side of the trunk and said, “Use the slingshot. Using that isn’t safe.”
Chen Feng didn’t ask more. Since Qin Hengzhi said not to use it, they wouldn’t.
Qin Hengzhi pointed in Lu Qiaoge’s direction: “I’ll go over there and take a look.”
At this time, Zhou Shanshan was holding the camera in her hands, coquettishly saying to Liu Dahui, “Brother Hui, look how pretty those mountain flowers are blooming. Take some photos for me!”
Liu Dahui was busy setting up the tent and replied upon hearing this, “Wait a bit before taking photos. We have all day, what’s the rush?”
Zhou Shanshan unhappily furrowed her brows.
She had put on makeup, and even applied lipstick, because the camera was a color camera borrowed from her aunt, an imported one from abroad. It was said that the photos came out very pretty.
If they waited a bit longer and the lipstick wore off, it wouldn’t look good.
She went forward to tug at Liu Dahui, pleading softly, “Take photos for me first. There’s still a while until lunch. Look how good the light is now; the photos will definitely come out nice.”
Liu Dahui didn’t move and bent down to clear the ground at the camp.
The spot they chose had relatively high ground, with fine soft sand and small pebbles.
But there were quite a few fallen leaves and wild grass. Liu Dahui quickly cleared them away, but Shanshan was so obedient that his tone softened, and he said gently, “Wait a bit then, I’ll be done soon.” He paused and added, “Don’t stand here. Go help them organize things.”
To spare Zhou Shanshan’s face, Liu Dahui said this in a lowered voice.
But Zhou Shanshan’s face immediately darkened.
Liu Dahui, squatting down to tidy the ground, looked short and small.
Zhou Shanshan’s gaze uncontrollably turned toward Qin Hengzhi.
Well, it couldn’t be said that Zhou Shanshan was anything special; even Dong Xiangqin and Li Xiuying couldn’t help but feel their faces heat up and hearts race at the first sight of Qin Hengzhi.
Actually, it was just a momentary thing that quickly returned to normal. Mainly, Qin Hengzhi’s good looks were the type that hit like a critical strike visually.
And at this time, Qin Hengzhi had already walked to Lu Qiaoge’s side. He was talking with Lu Qiaoge.
They were far away, so it was unclear what the two were saying, but from their expressions, it seemed they were saying private words that others couldn’t hear.
At this moment, Zhou Shanshan’s heart suddenly couldn’t suppress itself.
A thought suddenly surged up from the bottom of her heart.
After Qin Hengzhi came to Jiangcheng, he naturally got in touch with his comrades-in-arms. Though they hadn’t gathered for a meal, they had met.
At her first sight of Qin Hengzhi, Zhou Shanshan believed what Liu Dahui had said—that the young Qin Hengzhi, who had become regiment leader at such a tender age with a deep background, was a handsome man.
In this era, men weren’t described as tall, rich, and handsome; good-looking ones were called handsome men.
At that time, Qin Hengzhi didn’t have a partner.
She had even secretly thought about what kind of girl could match Qin Hengzhi.
In her imagination, first of all, family background should be equal—both Beidu people living in Compound No. Then work: Qin Hengzhi was a regimental cadre, having become the military representative at the factory in his early twenties, proving he wasn’t just a soldier but also scientific research personnel, with an unimaginable future. So no matter what his partner’s job was, it shouldn’t be a neighborhood committee mediator, let alone someone from an ordinary family with no background. If there was one thing that fit, it was looks.
But were there no pretty young women now?
There were plenty!
So, was she, Zhou Shanshan, not pretty?
No, she was!
So how did Lu Qiaoge become Qin Hengzhi’s partner?
Since Qin Hengzhi’s partner wasn’t one in a million, didn’t that prove that others who were about the same could also do?
Zhou Shanshan felt as if a clump of cotton was stuffed in her chest, making her feel particularly uncomfortable.
It was that feeling of a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.
Qin Hengzhi was the fresh flower, Lu Qiaoge was the cow dung!
At this moment, in Zhou Shanshan’s eyes, Qin Hengzhi was no longer an unattainable moon in the sky that Lu Qiaoge could pick. Why couldn’t she?
But…
She was about to marry Liu Dahui!
At this thought, it was like a basin of cold water poured over Zhou Shanshan’s head.
She pushed Liu Dahui again, her tone no longer gentle: “Stop being busy first and take photos for me. In a bit, the light will shift to the other side and it won’t look good.”
Liu Dahui felt that Zhou Shanshan was being a bit unreasonable today, but he wasn’t impatient. After all, this was the girl he had longed for and finally won.
“I already told you to go help those two first, and once I’m done here, I’ll take photos for you. Where do I have time right now?”
Zhou Shanshan pointed to the distance: “Look, Qin Hengzhi has nothing to do right now. Let him take photos for me.”
As she said this, Zhou Shanshan’s voice had a tremor that even she herself didn’t notice.
Without waiting for Liu Dahui to speak, Zhou Shanshan shouted as if they were close, “Hengzhi, if you’re free now, help me take a few photos, okay?”
Liu Dahui didn’t think too much of it, though he still furrowed his brows.
He also stood up to look at the two people not far away who were gathering branches.
Zhou Shanshan walked toward Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge as she spoke.
Liu Dahui opened his mouth, then closed it again.
He needed to quickly level the ground so he could set up the stove.
Once that was done, he could go into the forest to hunt game. Thinking this way dispersed the slight displeasure from earlier.
Li Xiuying and Dong Xiangqin, however, put down the things in their hands and couldn’t help but exchange a glance.
This glance was very complex.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuying suddenly said, “This is all something Liu Dahui brought on himself. Qiao Zhi was so good, but he insisted on canceling the engagement. If the family hadn’t watched closely, Qiao Zhi’s little life might have been gone long ago.”
Dong Xiangqin: “Keep your voice down. Don’t let Liu Dahui hear.”
Li Xiuying pursed her lips but didn’t continue.
Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge was very busy.
The extremely fast Xiao Cangcang and grey pigeon flew back one after the other. Xiao Cangcang obediently stayed back, waiting for the grey pigeon to report first.
The grey pigeon thought Xiao Cangcang was pretty good. It said to Lu Qiaoge: 【That big tiger dragged the Siberian roe deer away from the large rock toward the cave, but the cave is even closer to us now.】
Xiao Cangcang said: 【Nearby, besides the big tiger, there are five wild boars drinking water upstream. In the forest, there are wild chickens and wild rabbits. On the hillside on the other side, there’s a group of people climbing the mountain, seems like the exploration team. One of them climbs a bit then draws a bit, feels very suspicious. Little fairy, should we keep an eye on them?】
However, at this moment, Qin Hengzhi was leaning down to talk to Lu Qiaoge.
“…My grandfather really wants to see you and has called me a few times about it, but I made excuses to politely decline. Qiaoge, I’ll go by your opinion. If you want to go, we go; if not, we’ll talk about it later. Okay like that?”
At the same time, Zhou Shanshan, who was walking over, held the camera with a full face of smiles: “Not interrupting, right? Hengzhi, take a few photos for me.”
Then, in a familiar tone, she asked Lu Qiaoge, “Brother Hui is busy and has no time. Qiaoge, you don’t mind, right?”
Lu Qiaoge: “…”
Who should she answer first!
Treasures, the update is a bit late. Love you all~
