Chapter 2: The Secret of the Creek
After a day's work, the rafters of the roof have been erected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It won't take a few days to spread the mat and tile, and the big cover will be completed.
Han Ruifeng looked at the newly built room frame and felt relieved and satisfied. Every morning, when the sky is just getting dark, he is always the first to come first to see if there is any problem with the new house. Every night, when there was no one around, he would come and see if there would be anything new.
The villages in the north have four distinct seasons, with cold winters and hot summers. Especially on summer nights, a hint of mountain wind blows, which makes it even more sultry.
After inspecting the new house, Han Ruifeng came to the small river in front of the village as usual, found a hidden grass in front of the river, soaked his feet, and cooled it.
In the hot summer, the cool river water, the feet soaked in the flowing water, and from time to time there are fish and shrimp coming to play with the calluses on the soles of the feet, which dilutes Han Ruifeng's fatigue of the day, and I feel that there is nothing more enjoyable in the world than this. Of course, if there is a cigarette, it is almost perfect.
Han Ruifeng did not stop smoking, but memorized his cigarettes! Since his daughter-in-law died, he has pinched his cigarettes! For rural people, smoking is not a matter of physical health, but of money. Even if it's dry tobacco, it costs money!
The three sons all need to build a house and say that the daughter-in-law, where does he not need money! For the sake of the children, even if he can save a dime, he has to do it, and he must do it unconditionally!
Han Rui's plump head is now thinking not about smoking, but about his grandson!
Passing on the family tradition seems to be the vocation of rural people. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. The son is not in a hurry, Lao Tzu is in a hurry first! The continuation of incense is not a misunderstanding of a rural person, but a hereditary problem.
At this time, Han Ruifeng closed his eyes lightly, imagining a sweet dream, and the fat eldest grandson was pulling his arm, shouting Grandpa, Grandpa, I want popsicles.
Suddenly, he was woken up by the voice of a girl.
Han Ruifeng vaguely saw the figures of two people, sitting side by side.
The girl's voice was not very high, but the night was too silent, except for the cheerful flow of the river.
The voice came from the poplar forest in front of the pine mountain on the other side of the river, and the poplar trees grew luxuriantly, and the gap was not large, and it was really a natural place for young men and women to tryst.
Han Ruifeng is from the past, and he really has no interest in the relationship between young men and women. He didn't want to hear it, but he had to listen because he knew who the people in the poplar forest were.
So, he almost held his breath, lest he be discovered by the woods, and slowly closed his eyes, opened his ears with all his might, and eavesdropped on the whispers of the woods.
"My dad introduced me to the object again today, the son of the cashier of the county chain factory. The girl said impatiently.
No one answered.
"You have something to say!" the girl was visibly annoyed.
"What do you say?" replied the young man helplessly.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, I think I'm okay this time!" The girl was not angry this time, but she looked very helpless.
If it weren't for the night, you'd see her big beautiful eyes sliding into crystal tears.
Hearing the girl's words, Han Ruifeng immediately opened his eyes, glared at the young man angrily, and wanted to scold but couldn't speak. To be honest, at the moment, he is more anxious than the lad.
"Don't! When my house is built, I'll ask my dad to ask someone to go to your house to propose, isn't it okay?" The young man's face was flushed, obviously anxious.
"By the time your house is finished, I'll already be someone else!" the girl didn't buy it.
"Then what do you say?" the young man's head drooped lower.
"Why can't you be as clever as your brother? The girl was a little disappointed, but she didn't mean to blame.
"Yes, without his matchmaking, how dare I come out and meet you!" the young man replied.
"Now it's our business, you still count on your brother! He has built a bridge for us, why don't you dare to go!" The girl was unhappy again.
"Okay, tomorrow I'll ask my dad to find someone to come to your house to propose, what do you think?" said the young man.
"I think that's all there is to it!" a glimmer of hope flashed in the corner of the girl's eyes.
"You say, will your father agree to our marriage?" the young man was still energetic.
"What do you say?" asked the girl, cheerfully.
"To tell you the truth, your dad has a high eye, and he probably doesn't look down on me, so what can I do?" the young man looked frustrated.
"And what are you going to do?" the girl deliberately teased.
"What can I do to stay at your house and not leave my leg and cripple my legs!" the young man told the truth.
"That's what you're capable of!" the girl was disappointed.
"Nothing. If he doesn't agree, I won't marry for the rest of my life!" the young man looked at the night, and his eyes were quite determined.
After hearing this, Han Ruifeng almost didn't faint, thinking to himself why this kid is so stubborn!
"It's your business whether you marry or not, what does it have to do with my father!" said the girl, but she was happy in her heart.
"I can't marry you, so what about you?" Actually, the young man is not very stupid.
"How can I disobey my parents' orders, and I will do whatever they say!" said the girl with a grin.
The young man was silent.
"Fun with you, a good person like you, you can't find a lantern on a horseback, I don't marry you, who else can I marry!"
"And your parents, they just don't agree?" The haze on the young man's face washed away, but then he fell back into melancholy.
"Then die to show them!" the girl said categorically!
When Han Ruifeng heard this, he was startled, thinking that this girl is really strong. Suddenly, he felt the branches of grass not too far away from him shake. He thought it was a small animal traveling at night, and he didn't care.
Neither of them spoke, because the two hands were only clasped together, and the four eyes looked at each other silently.
Long!
"Is it worth it for you to do that for me?" the young man sighed softly.
"Am I more stupid than you?" said the girl.
The young man followed suit.
"To be honest, I think it's a blessing for me to be able to marry you. "The girl's eyes are full of tenderness.
The young man blinked, like a peaceful cricket, and listened quietly.
"If you are honest, I will rest assured, if you can do it, I will not starve to death, and if you love me, I will be grateful. If that's the case, what more could you ask for!" the girl said very frankly.
Frankly, there is often a reason. But if it makes sense, how many women can understand it! Even if they do, why are they still chasing after the mirror!
Frankly, it's not profound. This is just the minimum requirement of an ordinary woman, but it is often the minimum requirement, the more extravagant it is!
The young man was moved to tears, and Han Ruifeng was also warm in his heart, and the corners of his eyes were moist.
"I'm so direct, you won't dislike me, will you!" asked the girl, blinking wide-eyed.
The boy's head shook like a rattle.
The only thing a young man can say about a woman who can look up to herself and not dislike the poverty of her family, and who comes to suffer and suffer! The only thing he can do is to rejoice in himself and thank his eight generations of ancestors for their good deeds and virtues!
Somehow, the girl sighed softly.
A sigh frightened the guy and the dreaming Han Ruifeng.
"Now, I'm a little worried about myself. The girl didn't wait for the guy to ask, so she immediately said: "Your new house is almost finished, and the person who proposes to your family to protect the media has not yet stepped through the threshold!"
"What you said is not unreasonable, your father is still talking to me today. "The lad is too honest to speak.
"What the hell? What did you tell him?" the girl was so angry and anxious that she raised her hand to twist the young man's thigh.
"I didn't even listen to who he told me. The young man saw that the girl was in a hurry, and hurriedly said.
"You're not telling the truth, are you?" the girl was even more anxious.
"What I'm saying is the truth, don't be angry, okay, Grandma!" the young man looked begging.
"I'm angry if you don't tell the truth!" the girl suppressed her anger, and tears of sadness were about to flow out.
"As soon as they said that they would introduce me to someone, my mind was full of you, what your father said, how do I know!" The young man felt very aggrieved.
The girl burst into tears and laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll have the final say on the new house!" the young man's expression was resolute.
Generally honest people say that it is a sure thing!
When Han Ruifeng heard this, he didn't tremble with anger, but was happy, he was happy that his son had grown up, that is, he should have some man's courage and responsibility.
The guy is Han Ruifeng's eldest son Han Shao'an, and the girl is Su Youwei's eldest daughter Su Ruoshui.
"Aren't you afraid of your father's opposition?" Su Ruoshui was happy in her heart, but she still wanted to hear it clearly.
"I'm afraid of him, but he's even more afraid of his grandson!" Han Shao'an said happily.
"Shao'an, you have to remember what you said today! My dad may have doubted me in the past two days, it's not too early, I have to hurry home. Su Ruoshui was full of joy.
"Oh, I'll send you!" Han Shaoan was very concerned.
"No, just watch me walk in the door. Su Ruoshui looked happy.
The two quietly walked into the front street, reluctantly parted, and went back to their own doors.
Just when Han Ruifeng was about to take a breath and move his numb muscles and bones, a figure in the grass nest walked out quickly, and Han Ruifeng was stunned for a moment. In the middle of the night, who is this person, who is this person, who has nothing to hide and watch others do it!
Everyone went quietly, only the stream flowed merrily.
