"Will you marry me?" Shufen cried and looked at this Brother Fushun, who was about the same size as her the year before last and was already a lot taller this year.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Faced with Shufen's sister's embrace, Fushun was a little overwhelmed. But he knew that his sister must have been sad, and she just wanted to borrow her brother's chest.

"You answer me!" Shufen looked up, expecting a negative answer.

Fu Shun's hands didn't know how to place them, and he hung down on his legs very uncomfortably. This big girl, if there is no Xiang Yu, he will definitely agree happily, isn't this what he once dreamed of?

"Shufen, what's wrong with you? If there is anything uncomfortable, just say it, who bullied you? ”

"I ask you if you're willing to marry me?" Shufen suddenly pushed Fushun away, hugging a green bamboo and crying. The rain had already gathered on the bamboo tops, and it began to rain lightly in a flash. "Am I that ugly? Nobody cares! Nobody wants to! ”

"No, Shufen......" Fu Shun walked over and put his hand on Shufen's shoulder, he wanted to help his sister share a little pain, "You are very beautiful, the best-looking girl I have ever seen!" Who the hell bullied you? ”

"Shall I marry you, then?"

Fu Shun's hand on his sister's shoulder trembled and quickly removed it from her. "Shufen...... Why do you say this all of a sudden...... We're still so young! ”

"But my mother wants to marry me to you!" Shufen was already crying silently, hysterical sobs coming from her hoarse throat, and she clung to the bamboo pole and slowly squatted on the fallen leaves, which had already been wet.

"Let's go home first, Shufen, it's raining heavily! Don't think about that, my mother is not unreasonable, she didn't ask our opinions, can you go home first? ”

"I don't want to go back, you go and sue sù mother, go, you said you don't want to marry me, you don't want to marry me!" Shufen pulled Fushun's trouser leg and pleaded pitifully with tearful eyes.

Fu Shun helped his sister up, pulled her and walked home.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the spring thunder and lightning roar in the sky, and the grass on the roadside is gathering strength to break through the earth's crust.

The conversation between Fushun and his adoptive mother ended in nothing. Because when the hard-working woman heard the news, she just cried so hard that she couldn't say a superfluous word......

Fu Shun put down the "comic book" and picked up the pen to write a long letter to Xiangyu. Under the influence of Xiang Yu, with the help of reference books and long-term vocabulary accumulation, although Fushun's "love letter" is still young, it has improved a lot.

"Xiangxiang (this is Xiang Yu's request that Fushun must be called this, of course, Fushun is also used to being called like this):

"I have received your letter and drawing book, thank you very much for your kindness to me. Like last time, I cried again. But this time the tears are Xin (lucky) blessings, and I think you will be able to feel them too.

"I'm fine here, and I've finished reading the books that Teacher Zheng and Guangwen brought. Although there are still many things I don't understand, I still did the mid-term exam paper you sent, and you give it to Teacher Zheng, please ask the teacher to correct it. I'm very strict with myself, absolutely stuck on time, and I don't cheat. Speaking of Guangwen, I still want to tell you something, that is, that time you said that Guangwen likes my sister, I don't know what Guangwen wants to do, and I keep writing to my sister. Anyway, my sister caught fire once she saw the letter he wrote, and today she tore it up without even reading it. Actually, I'm not used to bullying girls, you find a time to ask him, and you can tell him that if he pesters my sister again, we'll clean him up.

"Xiangxiang, our family's seedlings have been planted, and I have been planting corn these days. To be honest, I don't like farming, but there is no way, my father and mother are not in good health, especially my father, I told you, he only has one foot, and it is inconvenient to walk. But he is also very fierce (powerful), one foot is still digging the ground, making nests, and picking up dung. In my heart, I can't bear them. I sometimes think, why don't you just come to my house, aren't the cowherd and niece also plowing the land together? But I don't think I can do it, because you don't like things that I don't like myself. It's not because of bitterness and tiredness, but we should have a greater pursuit, even if it is to go to the construction site, I would rather deal with cement, steel, gold (tendons), than with these fields. You must be the same!

"You take the time to go to my godfather's place, it's the big dormitory I used to live in, there is a pile of stones in the corner, you help me see if the tower (collapsed) has fallen, I yarded a fun alien building when I left, my godfather said that it has not collapsed.

"By the way, Xiangxiang, you said in your paintings and letters that you will go to Haixi City for an internship in the second half of the year. It's okay, you go, it's a big place, I won't blame you if you can't come to Yangjiawan during the summer vacation. I believe that as long as the letter can reach the place, our feelings can be reached, we are still young, and now we should pursue our ideals, and only when the ideals are realized will there be marriage. My godfather often said a word called 'struggle', I didn't know what it meant before, but now I know, it is to set a goal for myself and then work hard for that goal. When you move from a health school to a building school, you must have your own goals. If we can become classmates and good friends, it shows that we have a common ideal, and we must strive for this ideal.

"In this world, only you know me best. The people in our production team laughed at me, thinking that I was a fool, but I recognized a godfather outside, and I was able to study, and I ran back. But what they say about 'stupid' is not the same as when you call me 'stupid boy'. Some people think I'm going to plug the door backwards, and I came back to marry my sister, but I won't, and neither will my sister. But only you know what I think, and I will only try to be a person like you, someone who can stand on technology in the city.

"Xiangxiang, you must believe me, when my sister finds a suitable person, or my brother-in-law is released from the prison, I will leave here. But they are still my relatives, you are right, as long as I earn money, I can use it to compensate them and make them suffer less, which is much better than if I worked here.

"You also have to study hard, I have already written a lot, write next time! Don't worry, no matter you go to Sanya or Haixi, I will come to you, I am not worthy of you now, but I will not look down on myself, I will work hard.

"I'm going to sleep, I'll miss you, Xiangxiang, thank you again for your paintings, even if you go to Haixi, you have to remember to paint, I will always really (treasure) it."

"Liu Fushun

"June 12, 1984."

Every time Fushun writes a letter, he is more engrossed than when he reads a book. You must know that the object of his letter is the talented girl of Jiangyun University, and she has won two "essay competitions" of Jiangyun colleges and universities!

The long letter was written for four hours, the "Xinhua Dictionary" at hand was flipped over and over again, and the letter was signed on four and a half pages. After writing it, Fushun also read it repeatedly, for fear that there would be any typos or incomprehensible word order. Occasionally, he found a few typos, and he pasted them with small white paper and rice soup, and then corrected them, and then folded the letter neatly and prepared to send it out when he was in a hurry.

The wedding date of cousin and He Pan has been set. The second uncle finally figured it out, no longer asked He Pan to join the family, and pinned all his hopes on the second daughter Shuyun.

Shufen wants to forget the pain in her work. She pulled Fushun and plucked the seedlings in the field over and over again, irrigated the melons and fruits in front of the house and behind the house and her father's tobacco leaves again and again; He and Gui Ying's family planted sweet potatoes in all the fields, and cowpeas under all the corns......

In the summer, when the sun is not visible, they chop wood and break corn in the mountains, and when the sun comes out, they row wood and cut corn at home; She begged the second uncle to give Sister Gui Ying's share of the silkworm to it, and if there was no silkworm room, she would make the silkworm room into a silkworm room; Pineapples have grown piles of heavy fruits, and every day they are transported to the street to sell, and three or four hundred catties of pineapples are exchanged for more money than a season of silkworm cocoons.

In the autumn, the two children took back thousands of catties of rice and hundreds of catties of pumpkins; The little scalper has completely grown into the appearance of the old cattle, and the three piglets have also become big fat pigs......

However, the hands of the two children were already full of wounds, the young palms were calloused, and the dark skin was like a layer of butter. The old couple watched the child's hard work, in addition to working hard, they could only secretly wipe their tears.

No one can imagine how much energy this anger can be transformed into the power of labor. Two sixteen-year-old children turned this dilapidated home into a big grain grower and a big fruit farmer. And another pear seedling that is about to bear fruit is also beckoning to them.

Shufen finally diluted the pain in her labor, and until the arrival of early winter, she had not had time to harvest the sweet potatoes in the field, but the wedding date of her cousin and He Pan came as promised......

Like the customs of other rural people, after going through household visits, meetings, the next issue, and engagement, Shuhua married into the Xie family in the winter of that year.

In the days they got married, Shufen's heart was cut by a knife again. She watched He Pan take her cousin's hand from Erniang's hand and walk towards their happy life. Shufen's heart began to fluctuate again, this sad child didn't even have a place to hide, she hoped that the "little grandfather" would turn around again and look at this person with tears hanging on it! Everyone thought she was reluctant to be a dear cousin, and no one knew who those tears were for?

Fushun was extremely excited, he wanted to be the happy groom, and in the blessing of everyone, he took his lover's hand and started a new journey in life.

Thinking of this, Fu Shun began to feel uneasy again. Xiang Yu has been to Xihai for three months, and she has not sent a single letter, and Fu Shun does not know where to send his letter......
