"Ah, you just eat that?" Mu Xiaoran couldn't believe it, she was born in a famous family, she had no worries about food and clothing, and almost half of every meal was thrown away, and her family never didn't think enough about this. She thought that every family was like this.

"I don't understand why you're throwing out my fish. ”

Mu Xiaoran said: "Those fish are life. ”

"You haven't eaten fish?" the boy asked, and Mu Xiaoran shook his head. She couldn't tell what the food she ate at home was made of, only vegetables and meat. The boy sighed, "If we don't eat fish, we'll die." ”

He's been catching fish for a week, and it's still not as many as the previous days combined. The cold winter of the Snowy Dynasty comes very early, and by October the river will be covered with a thick layer of ice, and tomorrow will be the last day of September.

He hadn't told his father, who had also learned about it at an old age, and that his legs had been crippled at an early age. He didn't catch a few fish, and he caught a cold, and if his father knew about it, he would definitely criticize him for catching a cold again, and then let him go to the neighborhood to borrow food. But he didn't interact with others since he was a child, and he was even more shy to borrow food, preferring to be hungry.

Mu Xiaoran also saw the boy's loss, "Oh... I'm sorry, I..."Born in a famous family, she naturally can't feel the suffering of the world, but she also feels guilty about it.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. The boy smiled reluctantly.

The next day, Mu Xiaoran's family sent someone to send two baskets of grain and fish, and the boy was naturally embarrassed to accept it, but he said that he was repaying the young lady's life. couldn't get rid of it, so the boy had to thank him and accept it.

After that, Mu Xiaoran went to the boy's house to play with him whenever he had time. The boy has been in love with her for a long time, but he has never shown it, he knows what the other party's net worth is. He has never been inferior, but he has nothing at the age of vanity, and it is difficult for a girl to have thoughts about her, even if he has a last. And he didn't know that when Mu Xiaoran woke up at his house on the first day, he had fallen in love with the boy.

And that's it, four years later.

Mu Xiaoran has become a down-and-out and generous girl, and the boy has worked hard to make money in the past four years, built a small thatched hut into a brick house, and his life is getting better day by day.

One day, Mu Xiaoran ran into his father's room.

"Dad, I have a boy I like, and I'm going to marry him. It took four years for her to tell her father, who was shocked and laughed again.

"My daughter is finally sensible, so you said that you plan to marry the young master of the Huangfu family that day?"

"What is the emperor's family? I don't want to marry into his family. Mu Xiaoran was suddenly unhappy, his father obviously said this on purpose.

"Then who do you want to marry?" Mu Fengyun knew that his daughter would refuse, and his face was still ugly.

Mu Xiaoran looked stubborn, "I know that even if you say it, you won't agree, but I don't care!"

"Presumptuous! Mu Fengyun was furious, this was the first time Mu Xiaoran had contradicted him.

"The concepts are very different, why do you think that if I marry the young master of the Huangfu family, I will be happy? I don't like him. ”

"Huangfu Lin, this kid is impeccable in terms of appearance, Wen Tao is martial, and he is also kind-hearted, why is it not suitable for him to admire you for a long time?" Mu Fengyun was so angry that he beat his chest, why was his daughter, who had always been well-behaved, so disobedient this time.

Mu Xiaoran's heart was half cold when he saw his father's attitude. "Dad, are you doing it for your daughter's happiness, or are you doing it for the benefit of the family?"

Mu Fengyun was suddenly asked, and he was stunned for a while and immediately said, "Of course, I want you to be happy." ”

"Then don't interfere with me. ”

Mu Fengyun didn't stop, and asked: "Then let my father listen, who do you like?"

"Chu Changqing. ”

"Who?"

"The one on the banks of the Green River. Mu Xiaoran said confidently, he didn't care at all about Chu Changqing's family background, and he was completely out of his father's eyes.

"Someone lives in that shabby thatched house?" Mu Fengyun laughed angrily, his smile full of mockery.

"Daddy!" Mu Xiaoran was extremely disappointed, and his father said: "Okay, there are people living in that house, but can you live in it with his family background?

"It's not necessarily appropriate to like it, but it's not necessarily appropriate to dislike it. Mu Xiaoran slammed the door after saying this, she didn't want to say more about his father.

"Xiao Ran... You!" Mu Fengyun saw his daughter's attitude, and slammed a teacup hard, furious.

Mu Xiaoran ran out of the house and came to Chu Changqing's house on the bank of the Qinghe River. At this time, Chu Changqing had just finished cooking, "Mu Xiaoran, have you ever eaten?"

Mu Xiaoran shook his head, Chu Changqing's father liked this girl very much, and said with a kind smile: "Then eat here, multiple people have more pairs of chopsticks." ”

After the meal, the two walked to the river, Mu Xiaoran hesitated, and finally spoke.

"I told my dad. ”

"Huh? Ah!" Chu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and asked weakly: "Then what does your father mean?"

Mu Xiaoran showed a bright smile, "My father agreed!"

Chu Changqing was overjoyed and couldn't stop laughing. didn't notice the heaviness in Xiao Ran's eyes. Thinking about it, it's a big deal, Chu Changqing took his father away and walked away with her. But she is not deeply involved in the world, and she is naturally hesitant to be ignorant of everything.

Chu Changqing was happy when he heard the news. After Mu Xiaoran left, he happily told his father, "Dad, I'm going to marry Xiao Ran!"

His father nodded happily, "That girl is not bad, but you also know his family background, right?" Chu Changqing nodded, "So what?"

"Can you promise to give her happiness?"

"We're in love. Chu Changqing thought about it and said firmly. His father nodded, "That's fine." The only thing he was worried about was that he was afraid that the relationship between his son and Xiao Ran would be crushed by the material, and a beautiful love would hurt both parties. But hearing that his son was so determined, he was relieved.

"Changqing, push me to the cupboard next to the bed. ”

Out of Changqing took his father to the cabinet, and his father took out a paper bag at the foot of the cabinet.

"Dad, what are you?"

"This is the little money that my father saved in the early years, plus the ones you earned, let's change our place of residence, don't be wronged Xiao Ran. Chu Changqing's eyes were a little moist, and he didn't speak.

The next day, Mu Fengyun came to Chu Changqing with his daughter behind his back and chatted with him alone for one night.

Mu Fengyun knew his daughter's temperament very well, and Xiao Ran was very likely to run away from home in this matter, and his daughter couldn't persuade him, so he came to advise Chu Changqing.

Two days later, Mu Xiaoran came to Chu Changqing's house again, and found that the house was empty, she was stunned, and she had a bad thought in her heart. I searched around and found that all the things that were light and easy to carry were gone. She sat down in her chair, the person had been gone for a while, and even if she looked for it, she couldn't catch up.

With his head in his knees, he cried bitterly.

Back at home, his father pretended not to know. "Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you, if you feel uncomfortable, let Mei Niang make you some soup. Mu Xiaoran couldn't help but reddened again.

"Dad, are you going to find Changqing?"

Mu Fengyun is not good at hiding people, and confessed directly: "Yes, I gave him some silver and let him go." ”

"Impossible, Changqing won't take your money!" Mu Xiaoran shouted hysterically.

"Won't he leave then?" Mu Fengyun sneered, "Xiao Ran, my father and mother are from here, and their vision is very accurate..."

Did he really see the wrong person? Even so, he would not forgive his father, and on the third day, he still locked himself in the house and did not come out.

"Miss, you can eat something. You're going to starve like that. "Mu Xiaoran's nurse comes several times a day. Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Mu Xiaoran was extremely upset.

"Get out! ”

The nurse came to knock on the door several times a day, and Mu Xiaoran's eyes never did.

"Who are you?" Chu Changqing saw a middle-aged man quietly enter the house. Mu Fengyun didn't answer, so Chu Changqing made a cup of tea first, "Sit down." ”

"I'm Xiao Ran's father. Mu Fengyun said lightly, taking a sip of tea, "It tastes good." ”

"Ah, it's uncle. Chu Changqing said happily, even more polite.

"Don't call me uncle, let's say openly, don't entangle with my daughter anymore. ”

Chu Changqing was stunned for a moment, he thought that her father agreed with them, and was speechless for a while, "But we really love each other." ”

"You turn around and look around you, the dilapidated house is broken, the newly renovated house, right? The mud skin is almost gone, what can you give my daughter with this condition?" Chu Changqing wanted to say and was snatched by Mu Fengyun again, "I know, my daughter is saying that she doesn't care, even if she really doesn't care, it's for you." Besides, do you think she really doesn't care? Xiao Ran has been pampered at home since she was a child, and she has come to reach out for food to open her mouth, how do you let him accept it when she comes to you? She is still young, and she has not experienced it and thinks it is a big deal. But you should be more sensible than a boy as a boy, and you should know the difference between reality and ideals. ”

Mu Fengyun's words directly shattered a little illusion that had finally risen in his original inferiority complex, and he was actually comforting himself, constantly telling himself that it would not be so bad and that it would be fine. Gradually, he used fantasy to cover up reality, but he ignored his own inferiority.

Because of this inferiority, any blow can easily break the beautiful yearning in his heart.

"Think about it, if you really love him for her good, stay away from her. Mu Fengyun saw that Chu Changqing was moved, and he was relieved in his heart. "If you're just for your own personal feelings and don't care about Xiao Ran's feelings, then... It's nothing, will you be at peace with yourself?"

Chu Changqing was silent, he thought of the future, Xiao Ran was wearing the same coarse linen clothes as her, eating the same grains and grains at every meal, and living a tight life together. And this is very different from her original life, if Xiao Ran's family background is the same as his, they may be happy together, but the reality is here.

Chu Changqing was silent for a long time, and seeing that he didn't reply, Mu Fengyun took out a money bag and pushed it over, "This is a hundred black coins, which is worth five hundred taels of silver." ”
