After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

Chapter 22 Tanabata
Yu Qing tasted the ancient tree banquet but did not see the solemnity, looked around, and saw him sitting at the table of the elders talking, probably talking to them about the development of the village, so he continued to enjoy the delicious food of Qingshuiwan Village with Linxi trip.

"This ancient tree feast is lively, but it's a bit bigger."

"Sister Qing, when Grandpa Yu came back today, everyone should get together to have fun. Don't look at the scene, it's just that each family moved the dining table under the old tree, and the dishes are all grown and raised by each family. Just make different home cooking."

"That's true."

"Sister Qing, Grandpa Zhuang has always been against waste. He refused to let us handle it for his 90th birthday. I bought a big cake and was criticized by him. He must give me the money for the cake."

"Lin Xi, I can feel the warmth of the villagers as a family, but how can I buy the old man's 90th birthday cake by himself?"

"Sister Qing, you may not be clear about Grandpa Zhuang's character, but he is a man of his own accord."

"Well, although I haven't been in contact for a long time, I have a deep understanding. He is a wise old man. With his guidance when Zhuang Yan returns to the village, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"Sister Qing, the key is that you should care more about Brother Yan."

"Lin Xi, my grandfather regards Qingshui Bay as his home, and Qingshui Bay is also my home. You and Zhuang Yan are my relatives." Yu Qing stood up and walked to the elderly table while talking, and said to Yu Niansu: "Grandpa, It's getting late, let's go back to Shuizhou."

"Xiao Qing, I want to live with your grandma in Qingshui Bay."

"Grandpa, are you and grandma going to live in Clear Water Bay?"

"Yes, this is my home, my roots are here."

"grandfather……"

"Xiaoqing, I have asked Xiaoyan's mother to arrange the accommodation for your grandpa and grandma. Let them live here for a while." Zhuang Su said.

"Brother Su, can you only stay for a while?"

"How long do you want to stay?"

"I'm going to die here forever."

"Okay, Qingshui Bay welcomes Xiao Yan back, and welcomes you back even more. The folks are happy, and the comrades in arms will definitely be even happier!"

Zhuang Su raised his wine glass and drank it down.

Zhuang Yan also invited Yu Qing to stay in Qingshui Bay for a night, so he could explain his development ideas to her in detail.But Yu Qing insisted on going back to Shuizhou, she was very eager from the look, and Zhuang Yan didn't hold back much.

Yu Qing insisted on returning to Shuizhou to meet a man, a man who broke her heart and made her worry.

Today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Qixi Festival, the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Since Yu Qing got acquainted with him, every year on Qixi Festival, no matter where he is, he would try every means to come and watch the stars with her.

In the second year after graduating from university, he went abroad for further studies, while she stayed in school to teach, and they were separated by thousands of miles.Mr. Yu Qing thought that it was impossible for them to watch the stars together on this Qixi Festival, and he didn't contact him, so he worked on lesson plans in the office until late at night.

When Yu Qing dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory, he stood at the door holding flowers, his eyes full of love.She burst into tears instantly, desperately throwing herself into his warm embrace.

His name is Jiang Ziyu, and he lives up to his name. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as having a face like a crown of jade. He is so delicate and quiet that he is more introverted than a girl.

Yu Qing's personality is actually introverted, but since she lost her parents since she was a child, she had to train herself to be stronger than ordinary boys.

When they were young, Jiang Ziyu and Yu Qing lived in the same courtyard. He was born in the same year and the same month as her, but the days differed by more than ten days.

Jiang Ziyu's mother said that if Yu Qing's mother gave birth naturally, Yu Qing and Jiang Ziyu might have been born in the same year, the same month, and the same day.

Jiang Ziyu's father was a subordinate of Grandpa Yu Qing, and also a comrade-in-arms of Yu Qing's father.Jiang Ziyu's mother often came to help Grandma Yu Qing with housework, and always asked Yu Qing and Yu Shui sisters to eat delicious food, and the relationship between the two families was good.

After Yu Niansu retired, Jiang Ziyu's mother no longer came to Yu Qing's house, nor asked Yu Qing and Yu Shui's sisters to come to their house, and sometimes prevented Jiang Ziyu from communicating with Yu Qing and Yu Shui.

But Jiang Ziyu went to and from school with Yu Qing and Yu Shui as usual, and there were delicious snacks at home that he secretly stole for the two sisters.

Yu Qing's grandfather and grandmother lived very frugally, and never spent money on snacks in addition to the normal three meals a day.

Sisters Yu Qing and Yu Shui basically had no snacks, so they were naturally grateful to Jiang Ziyu for giving them delicious snacks.Yu Shui, in particular, liked to eat snacks when he was a child, and hoped that Jiang Ziyu's pockets would be filled with snacks every day. As an older sister, Yu Qing always gave Yu Shui the snacks that Jiang Ziyu brought her.

Later, Jiang Ziyu's father was upgraded and moved out of the small courtyard, and the two adults completely cut off contact.

But Jiang Ziyu and Yu Qing have always been in the same class, even the university is the same school, the same department, the same class, the two of them naturally went from childhood sweethearts to passionate lovers.

Although Jiang Ziyu seldom speaks and belongs to the category of taciturn, she can always bring Yu Qing unexpected surprises.

Put a movie ticket in Yu Qing's book, put a piece of chocolate in Yu Qing's school bag, and quietly give her a can of warm brown sugar water every day during Yu Qing's menstrual period.

In the cold winter morning, Jiang Ziyu would wait at the door of Yu Qing's dormitory on time every day, and put on the hot scarf and gloves for her.

The most unforgettable thing for Yu Qing is that Jiang Ziyu will accompany her to watch the stars in the sky every year on the Qixi Festival, and watch the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meeting on the Milky Way.

"Qing, I can't guard you all the time, but I will definitely learn from the cowherd. No matter how far we are, I will watch the stars with you on this day!"

"Ziyu, I will always be waiting for you, waiting for you to watch the stars with me!"

Yu Qing stepped on the accelerator and accelerated back to where she lived. He should have been waiting at her door, holding her favorite faint lily in his hand.

Afraid that he would be impatient to wait, Yu Qing ran up to the sixth floor in one breath.

There was no one at the door, and after searching every corner, there was no sign of Jiang Ziyu, Yu Qing's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

It has been three years, three full years, she and he have not met.That is to say, there were three Qixi Festivals, and he didn't accompany her to watch the stars.But she was still waiting for him obsessively, waiting for him to watch the stars with her.

The year before last, he said that it would be difficult for him to ask for leave as his research project was entering a critical stage, but he would still find a way to come back to watch the stars with her. She took the initiative to persuade him not to come back, because his career was important.

The Qixi Festival is held every year, and the stars are always there, so you can continue to watch it in the coming year.

This was the first time he didn't accompany her to watch the stars on Qixi Festival, and she sat alone under the stars until dawn.

Last year, he left her a message on WeChat: "Yeah, no reply."

This year, I have not received even simple four words on WeChat.

Yu Qing sat on the balcony and turned on her phone.

Delicate, he raised his head, smiled, and stared at her affectionately with his eyes behind the lenses.

His profile picture is the first among Yu Qing's WeChat friends, and he has not waited for a word from him since the Qixi Festival last year.

Opening his circle of friends, there is only a silent horizontal line, and there are no traces of his vigorous years abroad.

Every day before going to bed, Yu Qing would have an urge and desire to send him a message, but she was worried that after a "ding dong", the screen would display "You are not his friend yet, please send a friend verification request..." .

Yu Qing was even more afraid that after the "ding dong", what was waiting was "the message has been sent, but it was rejected by the other party."

Now, at least he is still staring at her affectionately in this address book.

Tonight and Tanabata, I am waiting for you to watch the stars together.

I'm still alone, how about you?Is there someone to watch the stars with you?

In the night sky, there is a white Milky Way across the north and south between two particularly shining stars. The Cowherd is on the east side of the river, and the Weaver Girl is on the west side of the river. They "look at each other across the river".
