Chapter 120 Hiking with Aunt
Listening to the conversation between Li Qiutong and Xia Miao, Zhou Xiaoduo laughed and said, "Aren't you two too serious?"
"It's too far to talk about this now. Even if I agree to date Xiao Yanjing , it doesn't mean we will get married in the future."
"Haven't you seen how many people, even if they dated for four years in college, still went their separate ways after graduation?"
Zhou Xiaoduo shook her head: "So, I just don't want to date anymore, it's a waste of time."
Sun Yuanyuan suddenly said, "No, just go fishing first. At least you can still have some big potato chips to eat."
Zhou Xiaoduo and Li Qiutong laughed together and ran over to play with Sun Yuanyuan.
Xia Miao frowned, turned around and started doing her homework.
University is the first society you enter in life, and the classmates here are completely different from those in high school.
Everyone has a set of values that they feel are mature, but these ideas are just their perception of maturity, not their actual experience.
Many times, Xia Miao felt that she didn't fit in with other students, a feeling she had never had before coming to college.
Maybe it's true that everyone has grown up, gradually becoming realistic and sophisticated, but she is still the same Xia Miao as before.
She opened the drawer again, looked at the exquisitely packaged small box inside, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Forget about other people. Her goal is firm and she won't be shaken by any words.
…
The next morning, He Shu and his aunt went out.
Today, my aunt got up earlier than him, borrowed my uncle's car, and said she wanted to take him hiking.
The two drove a long way before they arrived at a scenic spot called Luanshan.
My aunt said that this was the second highest mountain in Dadu, and today they were going to climb to the highest peak and then camp here.
Luanshan is also known as "Dahe Mountain".
According to legend, Dahe Mountain and Xiaorong Mountain to its south were formed from two feathers that fell from the bird when Wang Ci Zhong, the inventor of official script in the Qin Dynasty, flew away.
The reason we came here is because my aunt said this is the best place to watch the sunrise.
After parking the car, my aunt took out a large backpack containing a folding tent and food from the trunk, put one on each of our backs, and started our journey up the mountain.
There are long sections of ascending routes along the way, with steep slopes, which require a certain amount of physical strength .
Climbing mountains is also a very good way to exercise.
He Shu saw some flat areas on both sides and some tourists.
Some of them had just climbed the mountain like them and found a beautiful place to rest, while others came the day before and were ready to go down the mountain after watching the sunrise.
It seemed that my aunt had been here many times and was familiar with the route.
As they walked, he introduced various scenic spots to He Shu and told him many wonders about the mountain.
However, the wonders she mentioned can only be seen under certain conditions.
Today and tomorrow will both be sunny, but it is not the right season. I am afraid He Shu is not lucky enough to see it.
Halfway up the climb, my aunt found a flat place to sit down and rest.
He Shu took out his cell phone, took a few pictures of the autumn mountain scenery and sent them directly to Xia Miao.
He felt that Xia Miao would like such a place, and if he had the chance in the future, he would bring Xia Miao to have a look.
Qi Xue saw He Shu stopped and fiddled with his phone, so she went over and took a quick look.
"Hey, isn't it boring to climb the mountain with your aunt? It would be better if you came with your girlfriend."
After hearing this, He Shu put away his phone embarrassedly.
"Haha, I'm just teasing you, silly boy."
Qi Xue laughed a lot, put one hand on her leg, supported her chin, and tilted her head to look at He Shu.
"It's great to be young and full of longing for love. He Shu, these will all be your precious memories from now on."
He Shu looked at his aunt, who even though she was already forty years old, still had a perfect figure like a girl.
I couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, have you never been in love?"
Qi Xue patted He Shu's head and said, "You little bastard, are you looking down on me?"
He Shu rubbed his head: "No, I'm just curious why you don't get married, auntie?"
Qi Xue looked at the green and yellow valley in the distance and said softly.
"Because I haven't met a man who wants me to marry."
I’m forty, why get married?
When she just turned 30, her father-in-law urged her to get married and arranged a blind date for her.
But without exception, they were all KO'd by Qi Xue.
It’s not that she’s not outstanding, the worst person who can go on a blind date with her is the son of a cadre.
It's just that we just don't get along. After just a few words, it felt like we were from different worlds.
Moreover, Qi Xue was very busy. From the age of 30 to 40, the total time she spent at home was no more than one year.
You are surrounded by comrades-in-arms. Do you want to fall in love with them?
For someone in her line of work, if that really happened, she could go back to Dadu and enjoy her life after retirement in advance.
The days she leads are extremely testing of her willpower. Every day is like walking on a tightrope. If she is not careful, not only will she be in danger, but other comrades will also be implicated.
And for so many people, years of hard work may be wasted.
Therefore, internal digestion is not possible, as very few of their people are married.
Because once you are married you will have concerns, and when you encounter desperate situations, you will lose your courage.
After she turned forty, the old man had figured everything out, and no one had asked her this question for a long time.
After hearing this, He Shu understood his aunt's thoughts and did not ask any more questions.
Qi Xue suddenly smiled and asked He Shu: "Do you like your girlfriend?"
He Shu was slightly stunned. He felt a little embarrassed to be asked this question by his elders.
But he still nodded. His idea was actually the same as his aunt's. If they didn't like each other, they wouldn't be together.
"How much do you like it?" Looking at the tips of He Shu's ears turning red, Qi Xue wanted to tease him even more.
He Shu didn't know how to answer this question.
At least he felt moved when he was with Xia Miao.
And he didn't fall in love with Xia Miao all at once. It was Xia Miao's kindness to him all the time that made him fall in love with her slowly.
"Why don't you answer Auntie? Don't you know it yourself?"
He Shu thought about it carefully and said, "I like her so much that I want to be with her forever."
"Then you will marry her in the future?"
"Of course." He Shu answered straightforwardly. If he didn't marry Xia Miao, who would he marry? There were no options for this question, only a fixed answer.
Qi Xue's eyes curved when she smiled. When she smiled, she looked especially like He Shu's mother Qi Yue.
This also made He Shu feel much closer to this aunt.
It also made him more willing to tell his aunt some of his inner thoughts.
"Remember what I said today. If your bride in the future is not that girl, I will not give you any gifts."
He Shu lowered his head and smiled, without saying anything like a promise.
Time will witness everything, and the future is uncertain.
He Shu felt that as long as he followed the planned path , he would not deviate too far.
Just at this moment, He Shu's cell phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a reply from Xia Miao.
"What a beautiful view. I want to go see it with you."
