Protagonist:

Chai Mi

When Chai Mi had heard people sigh about this matter in the past, she thought it might be because Liu Zhijing's parents had divorced, causing problems with his personality.

After all, in this era, the word divorce was still very, very novel, especially in the countryside, where really not many households divorced.

This era was different from later generations; people generally read little, had little contact with the outside world, and the windows through which they could understand the outside world were limited to things like newspapers and periodicals.

Moreover, the culture and thought of this era were still relatively conservative. There were no televisions or mobile phones, only things like storytelling and opera—either the Yang Family Generals or Mu Guiying.

Most importantly...

In this era, the word "love" had not yet appeared...

At most, words like "liking" occasionally appeared.

Rural people marrying and living their lives, guarding their fields and gardens, did not see many divorces, so Liu Zhijing's parents were the first to divorce within ten li and eight villages.

Chai Mi pondered that this matter should have affected Liu Zhijing's thinking...

For a moment, both of them were a bit awkward...

"Uh... Da Zhi... no one has called me that for many years... uh... uh, why don't I send you a few steps? I see you look tired walking," Liu Zhijing said somewhat awkwardly.

Chai Mi smiled, looking at the somewhat silly Liu Zhijing: "Da Zhi, you're confused, aren't you? I'm leaving the village for the hospital, and you're returning to the village. We're not on the same road..."

"It's fine... I'm on the way..."

Chai Mi later, in a confused manner, just got on the "on the way" tractor returning to the village, passing the county hospital.

Along the way, Chai Mi found that Liu Zhijing's mental state... hmm, indeed seemed very restrained, looking extremely nervous while idle.

Even while driving the tractor, he kept his eyes on all directions and ears listening to all sides, looking back every now and then to see if there were any cars...

Chai Mi smiled and asked: "Da Zhi, you keep looking back to see if there are cars, doesn't your neck hurt?"

Liu Zhijing smiled awkwardly, his old face turning red: "This... safety first."

Chai Mi smiled without speaking.

She had just been unable to refuse Liu Zhijing's insistence on sending her, and secondly, indeed at night there were fewer cars, and she herself was in a hurry to go to the hospital, so she got on the tractor.

There was a quilt on the tractor...

Chai Mi only learned after inquiring that this Liu Zhijing had just sent Chai You De to the hospital and had just returned.

After Chai You De went to the hospital, Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong also followed, with Wang Huirong holding her big grandson Chai Erwei, saying she wanted her big grandson to see how his father was being ruined by Chai Mi...

Chai Zhongxiao also scolded Chai Mi as not being a decent person along the way...

Chai Mi, hearing Liu Zhijing's words, was not angry either, smiling and saying: "Let them say whatever they want. Anyway, they dare not say it to my face; out of sight, out of mind."

Liu Zhijing, hearing Chai Mi say this, did not bring up the matter again.

The two had few common topics, and since Liu Zhijing kept driving the tractor, Chai Mi reminded him to focus on driving.

Don't talk while driving; don't drive while talking.

Liu Zhijing then stopped talking.

Soon they arrived at the hospital, and Chai Mi got off.

Liu Zhijing suddenly asked: "Uh... when are you going back? Shall I pick you up then?"

Chai Mi directly refused.

It was already embarrassing enough; how could she trouble someone else...

"You go about your business... by the way, find time to see your mother; your mother seems to be ill."
