The rice in the fields had not yet been harvested. While Zhao Yu was working, a graceful figure approached from a distance.
He straightened up and looked over subconsciously. After seeing who was coming, the smile in his eyes disappeared and he bent down to work again.
The visitor did not notice his emotions.
At this time, Ji Tian was still called Du Tian. She came over and said softly, "Brother Zhao Yu, I made vegetable cakes. My mother asked me to share some with the neighbors. Do you want to try some?"
Zhao Yu's eyes were cold: "No need."
Du Tian was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "Then drink some water."
Zhao Yu naturally didn't take her water.
He was focused and pretended that this person didn't exist. However, Du Tian on the shore became anxious and tried to talk to him shamelessly.
If he didn't understand before, what was there for Zhao Yu to not understand now? Du Tian was probably attracted by his "luck". He felt it was absurd and disgusted, and didn't even bother to look at her.
On the path, a young girl came running towards them, her skirt was like a blooming violet, and her hair was decorated with a ribbon of the same color.
Zhao Yu raised his head and thought, this person also took a liking to his luck.
However, facing the fair and tender young lady with ill intentions, he felt only amusement and helplessness.
"What are you doing here?"
It's so hot outside, she'll make trouble again soon.
"I came to see the harvest." She thought he didn't welcome her, and pointed at Du Tian, "If she can come, why can't I come?"
Zhao Yu sighed: "Then stand further away and bask in the sun here."
She was used to looking at him with the mind of a bad guy, so when he said that, Dai Ning thought Zhao Yu wanted to get close to Du Tian and send her away.
The eldest lady kicked his bamboo pole on the shore and contradicted him: "I want to stay here."
Zhao Yu: “…” A nitpicker.
He heard the little argumentative person provoking Du Tian.
"Hey, how old are you?"
Du Tian: "Seventeen."
"Hey, you're so young, I can't tell, I thought you were twenty-five."
Du Tian's face turned dark and he looked at Zhao Yu aggrievedly.
Zhao Yu looked up and glanced at the young lady, who was looking at the young dragonflies on the ridge of the field. Zhao Yu ignored Du Tian's gaze, which made Du Tian feel even more uncomfortable.
The sun was shining brightly, and the young lady held on for a while, but couldn't hold on any longer. Zhao Yu had cut several rows of rice and was already some distance from the shore.
Dai Ning stood on the ridge of the field and said to Zhao Yu, "Hey, come here."
Zhao Yu turned around.
"Come here quickly!"
He sighed inwardly and walked over: "What's wrong?"
Du Tian also looked over warily.
"It's so hot, I want to bask in the sun." She grabbed the boy's clean collar and shook him, "You better think of a solution."
Zhao Yu saw her fair face turn red: "Can we go back?"
The man explained in a kind voice, "I have to finish cutting this piece, and I'm dirty, so I can't give it to you."
Dai Ning grabbed his collar tightly and said unreasonably: "If you don't find a solution for me, I won't let you continue!"
He lowered his head and looked at her tender little hands, and his heart suddenly softened.
He walked ashore, went to the woods to pick a few banana leaves, built a shed under a small tree, used two leaves to pad the ground, and said to Dai Ning, "Come here."
The eldest lady ran over happily and sat down.
Under the tree, the girl with porcelain-white skin and watery eyes looked up at him.
His heart softened, and he broke off a smaller banana leaf and fanned her gently. The girl squinted her eyes in satisfaction, her cheeks flushed with heat.
He raised his hand, caught a small dragonfly and placed it in her palm.
"It will be over soon, just be good and don't make trouble, okay?"
The eldest lady held the red dragonfly in her hands, and nodded at him with great joy.
Du Tian, on the other side, shouted in a panic, "Brother Zhao Yu, it's almost noon, you still have so much left, let me help you."
Zhao Yu glanced at her calmly and said, "Okay."
He handed her a sickle.
Du Tian choked up. She had only wanted to help him close the wound, and had not intended to cut it herself.
However, since it was something I proposed, I had to do it no matter what.
Zhao Yu ignored her and occasionally looked at the young lady under the banana leaves. After a while, Du Tian was sweating profusely, and her hair, which had been combed in the morning, became messy, and she looked miserable.
The more she looked at Ji Daining under the shade of the tree, the angrier she felt. Comparing the two, Du Tian was afraid that Zhao Yu would see her like this, and she was so nervous that her toes curled up.
Fortunately, the cutting is done.
Du Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached out his hand to Zhao Yu, asking him to lend a hand and pull him up.
Zhao Yu lowered his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Sorry, I don't have the strength anymore."
Du Tian had no choice but to climb up reluctantly.
Her feet were full of the stench of mud, and Zhao Yu was just about to call the eldest lady under the tree and ask her to go back with him.
The eldest lady's eyes widened and she deliberately angered Du Tian: "Zhao Yu, come and pull me."
Fearing that he would not come, Dai Ning threatened him: "Don't you dare ignore me!"
Zhao Yu walked over and reasoned with her: "My hands are dirty."
She looked at him hesitantly and with disdain.
In the past, Zhao Yu would have been extremely annoyed by this spoiled little troublemaker. However, after going through so many things, he became tolerant and forgiving. He would just endure whatever she wanted to do.
"Pull the clothes, my clothes are clean."
She was happy then and stood up, pulling Zhao Yu's clothes.
The eldest lady turned her head and saw Du Tian staring at her. She didn't mind that Zhao Yu was dirty, so she simply hooked her arms around Zhao Yu's neck and hung half of her body on him.
The girl whispered in his ear, "Take her away!"
Du Tian’s eyes almost popped out!
Zhao Yu was also stunned. In the past, she never wanted to touch her.
Although he almost lost his balance because of the young lady's move, he couldn't help but smile after easing the impact.
Without saying anything, he freed his hand and gently lifted her up.
They passed by Du Tian, who was sweating all over and biting his lips in anger.
Zhao Yu said he didn’t have the strength? He was carrying someone without the strength
Dai Ning was also bad. She hung on Zhao Yu and made a face at her. Du Tian almost fainted on the spot.
Partly it was because the weather was too hot and he was about to have a heat stroke, and partly he was irritated by her smug look.
The eldest lady remained quiet for less than two minutes. She whispered in his ear, "Zhao Yu, do you like her?"
The girl's breath was as fragrant as orchid. Zhao Yu supported her falling body and looked at her: "Don't talk nonsense."
I wish it were true.
There is no need to be heartbroken over such a heartless person.
"You two are not a good match." The eldest lady thought he was lying and explained, "Look at your family, the house is so shabby, and you have four burdens. It's hard for you to support yourself, how can you support your wife?"
Zhao Yu had a headache: "..."
The more she talked, the funnier it became, as if she was thinking of Zhao Yu's pitiful situation of not being able to find a wife.
Zhao Yu carried her across the field ridge and when they reached the main road, the young lady rested her chin on his shoulder and said, "Why is your home so far away? I'm so hot."
She was well taken care of, she smelled good and her voice was sweet.
Zhao Yu knew that she was delicate and wanted to put her down.
The girl thought he didn't want to hug her anymore, so she wrapped her legs around his waist.
“No, no.”
She was like a dodder. Seeing Zhao Yu pause, she felt a strong sense of crisis. She pinched his cheek in a bad temper and said, "Don't you want to hug me anymore?"
Zhao Yu just looked at her.
"You have to take me back, otherwise I will sell Zhao Ping to pay off the debt!"
Zhao Yu: "Well, I'll reluctantly carry you back."
She thought her threats were effective and felt very proud of herself.
In the past, if Ji Tian helped, with Zhao Yu's personality, he would at least invite the neighbors for dinner. But this time he was deliberately making trouble for her, so how could he possibly invite her
Instead, after he finished harvesting the grain, he bought a little quail and made some soup for the young lady.
When it comes to delicious food, the young lady never refuses anything.
Zhao Yu was a good cook, so she simply asked the chef to prepare some ingredients and put them at Zhao's house. When she saw that Zhao Yu was free, she asked him to cook something delicious.
Zhao Yu indulged her in her behavior most of the time.
He didn't eat her food either, letting her eat alone.
Zhao Yu thought that the eldest lady would not stay in Xinghua Village for long due to a whim, and he was prepared for her to leave at any time. Unexpectedly, she was so patient this time.
After staying for several days, there was no sign of leaving.
After threshing the grain, Zhao Yu had to go to the threshing ground to guard it at night. The next day, Du Tian followed him, reportedly to help a fellow villager guard the threshing ground.
Zhao Yu glanced at her, thought of something, and curled his lips.
Sure enough, two days later at dusk, a graceful figure ran over.
She drove Ji Tian away and stayed eight feet away from him.
Zhao Yu didn't care at all, pretending that he didn't know she was coming. He gave her his cushion and sat down anywhere.
At night, the little troublemaker still didn't want to leave.
Zhao Yu said helplessly: "If you don't go back by yourself, I won't be able to take you there later."
Dai Ning shook her head: "I won't go back. I also want to stay here to guard the grain."
Zhao Yu was in a delicate mood.
The sun went down, and few people in the village were willing to light lamps at night, so the field was pitch black. Fortunately, there was moonlight and a sky full of stars.
There were some faint chirping sounds of insects and frogs in the distance.
Mosquitoes were circling around Dai Ning, so she had no choice but to complain to Zhao Yu.
"Zhao Yu, a mosquito bit me." She looked pitiful, aggrieved and angry.
Zhao Yu said, "Come to me."
The girl moved over to him.
He picked up a fan and gently fanned her, blowing away the mosquitoes around her.
Gradually, the little trouble maker's head moved.
She rubbed her eyes: "I want to sleep."
The eldest lady's voice was soft, and Zhao Yu said, "If you don't mind, let's sleep in the tent, okay?"
Dai Ning said, “Oh.”
She turned back cautiously and said, "Don't come closer."
Zhao Yu laughed: "Well, I'll keep you company."
Daning went into his tent.
After a while, she came out angrily.
"The ground is too hard, I can't sleep, my body hurts! Zhao Yu, I don't care, just find a way for them."
Zhao Yu looked down at her.
The girl pouted, feeling very aggrieved.
He stretched out his arms and was stunned for a second. She understood what he meant and fell asleep in his arms.
He held her in his arms, the smile in his eyes melting into the darkness.
The eldest lady fell asleep quickly, and he continued to fan her to prevent mosquitoes from biting her.
She rested her head on his lap, within his reach.
The eldest lady hugged his waist in a daze, looking very cute and naive.
He reached out and stroked her cheek, his movements light and gentle.
Not long after, Xiaoyan and Shuanzi were going to get married.
Because of this incident, Zhao's mother was upset and called Zhao Yu, urging him to go and see the girl as soon as possible.
Zhao Yu was cooking fish for Dai Ning. Hearing this, he said, "Don't worry about me."
"Brother Yu, tell me what you think."
Zhao Yu didn’t know what he was thinking. He thought that in this life, Dai Ning’s attitude was probably the same as his attitude.
His mentality is no longer that of a teenager, and he is tolerant enough of everything about her.
Her bad temper and her complicated mind.
But if she still doesn't like him, it doesn't matter to Zhao Yu.
After all, he had experienced the cruelest thing in the world, and she was alive and smiling every day, which was the best thing Zhao Yu could think of.
Even if you don't like him, it doesn't matter.
He has come an extremely long way, and for him, making her happy now is more important than anything else.
Unexpectedly, Shuanzi also invited the eldest lady.
He understood the little peacock and coaxed her to dress more simply.
During this period, he treated her well and Dai Ning listened to him. When he coaxed her, she was so happy that she lost her mind.
Zhao Yu just thought it was funny and cute.
Passing by a field of blooming daisies, he picked a bouquet of flowers for her.
The little composer Zhizi asked him to pin it in his braid. Zhao Yu looked at the remaining flowers and simply made a beautiful wreath for her.
"Be good, take this off when you get to the scene, okay?"
She nodded.
Even though he probably didn't hear what he was saying at all.
Everything went smoothly, except for the bad idea she came up with during the bridal chamber. Zhao Yu was both angry and amused.
He apologized to Shuanzi and his wife.
Then he took the little troublemaker away.
"Why do you care about me?" She was like a kitten with its fur standing on end. "If you don't know, you would think Xiaoyan is your wife."
He glanced at her and said lightly, "You've already said it before, I'm poor and not qualified to marry a wife."
The eldest lady couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, so she asked cautiously, "Are you going to hit me?"
Zhao Yu looked at her unconvinced face and said, "Yes."
He stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch the little rascal's face.
Why don’t you be more careful? All the other children are more obedient than you.
The eldest lady took this sentence seriously and ran away from him like a little rabbit.
Zhao Yu was afraid that she might sprain her ankle, so he quickly chased after her.
The little bastard was so panicked that he rushed into someone else's vegetable garden!
The water spinach had just been planted and looked weak and pitiful. When the young lady ran in, a large area of it was immediately damaged.
The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth twitched: "Come out quickly."
Seeing that he didn't chase her, Daning turned around, a little puzzled: "You're not going to hit me anymore?"
Zhao Yu said, "I won't hit you." It would be good if he really had the heart to do that.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Her feet felt uncomfortable because she was running in high heels.
"come out."
The little bastard shook his head seriously: "I don't believe you. What if I go over there and you attack me?"
"… "
The stalemate lasted for a while, and no matter how Zhao Yu tried to coax her, it was useless.
He wanted to just carry the person out, but the young lady suddenly froze.
"Zhao Yu! There's something on my leg, it's moving!"
"I'm scared, please save me!"
Zhao Yu was frightened by her sobbing and crying. He took a few steps forward and the little trouble maker almost jumped into his arms.
"What is it?"
Zhao Yu saw a cricket.
He wanted to laugh, so he hugged the little troublemaker, walked out of the dirt, and then scared her.
"Hmm... Cabbage worm, looks pretty stupid."
She looked so sad as if the sky was falling, and immediately buried her head in his neck.
"Woo, woo, woo, I hate you so much!"
He hugged her and couldn't help laughing.
"Will you be naughty again?"
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have encountered such disgusting bugs."
He gently stroked her hair: "Sorry, it's my fault, so can I carry you back home as punishment?"
She whimpered, and when she was particularly upset, she bit his neck.
He sighed and patted the girl's slender back: "Stop it."
He can still control himself now and let her be happy in this life, but if she is so willful and one day she falls in love with someone else, will there really be someone like him who will tolerate everything she does
In the eldest lady's opinion, Zhao Yu has a good temper and is not mean to her, so she is not afraid of him at all.
The little drama queen hummed and said, "I want to hear you sing."
Zhao Yu was rarely silent.
She was unreasonable and punched him with her little pink fist: "Sing now!"
Zhao Yu sighed and said resignedly, "I'm not very good at it. I don't sing well."
He paused, then added: "Tone-deaf."
"Then I want to listen too."
She hugged his neck with a smile, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars from the sky, and she was happy for him.
He had no way to deal with her: "Then just forget it after you hear it."
She blinked: "Yeah."
The man had a deep, mellow voice and was singing an old song from Xinghua Village.
"In the mountain village at dusk,
The boy hasn't come home yet.
His beloved girl,
Standing in the sunset waiting for him.
They are young,
Most of them like fancy clothes and horses.
The world is full of dust,
Wealth and splendor,
In his heart and eyes,
But only she... "
She lay on his shoulder, the night was as cool as water.
After Zhao Yu sang this song once, he was unwilling to speak again.
Daning asked him curiously, "What are you singing?" She had never heard such a song before. It was mixed with some local dialect, but the tune was very gentle.
Zhao Yu casually said, "I forgot. I've heard someone sing it before. It's an unimportant folk song."
It wasn't particularly pleasant to hear, but his attitude was very gentle, and she could hear a hint of tenderness and affection in it.
Not long after, the eldest lady went to the lake for a barbecue.
Zhao Anan looked at her with envy with a pair of bright eyes. After thinking for a while, she took Zhao Anan with her.
The weather was fine and she was humming the song Zhao Yu sang that night.
Although I don't remember the lyrics, I roughly remember the tune.
Zhao Anan was very surprised and a little confused: "Miss, you can sing this song too?"
"No, what song is this?"
She just asked casually, but Zhao Anan blushed.
"Well... this is not sung by girls. In our area, the groom sings it to the bride on the wedding night." This topic made the little girl very embarrassed. She scratched her ears. "Every boy in Xinghua Village must be able to sing it. Even my eldest brother and second brother can sing it. When Dad was still in good health, he taught them to sing it to their future sisters-in-law."
“…” Dai Ning almost fell down.
Suddenly I remembered, what did Zhao Yu say that day
—You hear it and forget it.
Not long after, Uncle Qian urged Dai Ning to leave.
She had stayed in this small village for too long, and the old man was very worried about her.
Dai Ning had been having a very comfortable time during this period. When she heard that they were leaving, she asked Zhao Yu to take her to the mountains for fun.
Zhao Yu said, "The mountain road is bumpy and hot. Are you sure you want to go?"
Dai Ning nodded: "I'm leaving soon, I must go and take a look. I heard from Zhao Anan that it's very fun up there."
The man suddenly fell silent.
Daning pulled his sleeve: "Okay?"
Zhao Yu agreed.
He looked calm and went to make dinner for his family.
After a few days, the weather became cooler and Zhao Yu took her up the mountain.
The little girl Zhao Anan watched them leave. Her pitiful look made the young lady turn her head back.
Dai Ning kicked a stone on the roadside and said, "Just follow me!"
Zhao Anan asked happily: "Brother, can I go too?"
Zhao Yu said, "It's up to you."
Zhao Anan followed them.
Zhao Yu broke off a branch and cleared the way ahead.
The two girls at the back were chatting loudly. They were talking, and Zhao Yu was listening quietly.
Zhao Anan: "Miss, when are you leaving?"
"I don't know, maybe tomorrow."
"Will you come to Xinghua Village again in the future?"
Dai Ning glanced at the broad back of the man in front of her and smiled mischievously: "Of course not."
Zhao Anan was so disappointed that she was about to cry.
"When An An grows up, can he come to see you?"
"If it's you, I'll reluctantly agree."
Zhao Anan felt a little comforted.
"Can I bring my eldest and second brothers with me?"
Dai Ning shook her head: "No."
She made up a story: "By then, I might be married and have children. You are a girl, so you can come to see me. Your brother is a boy, so what if there is a misunderstanding?"
"So, brother, I won't be able to see you in this life?"
The eldest lady nodded: "Yes!"
Zhao Anan glanced at her elder brother and felt that he was walking a little slower.
She thought to herself, my brother is so pitiful.
Are all boys in the world so pitiful
Before Zhao Anan could be distracted for long, she turned around and the eldest lady disappeared.
Zhao Anan turned around and was startled.
"Brother, the eldest lady is there..."
When the brother and sister looked, they saw Daning squatting in the grass, staring at a little wild rabbit.
The young lady was about to extend her hand to test him, but Zhao Yu grabbed her and sighed, "No."
She puffed up her cheeks, clearly unhappy.
Zhao Anan quickly explained the reason to her.
The eldest lady reluctantly accepted the idea.
"Miss, let me tell you, there is a wild fruit forest and a mountain spring on the mountain. I'll take you there to eat some later." Zhao Anan said enthusiastically.
Considering Dai Ning's delicate nature, Zhao Yu did not take her up the mountain, but brought her to Zhao Anan's fruit forest.
Unexpectedly, Daning saw a fiery red little fox.
Her eyes lit up and she was about to run over when a hand appeared on her waist.
"no."
She was a little angry and stepped on the person behind her: "This is not okay, that is not okay, why don't you change your name to Zhao Bu Xing!"
The veins on Zhao Yu's forehead jumped. "Little bastard!" Is this a name a man can tolerate
"We are all leaving, can't you let me be in peace?"
He turned her around and gently smoothed the strands of hair around her cheek.
Zhao Anan had already cheered and ran to a tree in the distance.
Daning was still unhappy, and her watery eyes showed her dissatisfaction with him.
"They're leaving soon, and you can't even take something of commemorative value with you. You're so stingy!"
Zhao Yu laughed: "Let me buy you some local specialties."
"Who wants that!" she said in a muffled voice, "I just want the little fox."
Zhao Yu was silent for a while, and finally said: "I'll catch a rabbit for you to touch, and then let it go after you touch it, okay?"
After the two of them bargained to the end, Daning finally touched the little rabbit.
She is a bad girl. She said she would just touch me, but she ended up grabbing my long ears.
Zhao Yu: “…”
"No, no, no, I want to touch it more."
"Touch them a few more times."
"Zhao Yu, let me touch the rabbit a few more times. I will miss you in the future." She blinked, "I will miss you all my life."
The little rabbit was about to cry.
The sun was shining brightly, the mountain stream was gurgling. She said she would miss him forever.
But, he has walked such a lonely road alone. If you lie to him again, he will get old and will no longer be able to love you.
He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
The eldest lady was stunned, staring at him blankly, and inadvertently let go of her hand, and the little rabbit quickly escaped from the witch's hand.
Her hands remained in their original position, held in the man's palms.
He held her face in his hands and pressed his forehead against hers.
"Ningning, let me come and see you in a few years."
"At that time, I would not be so poor. I would not bother you. I just came to see if you were doing well."
“… Has anyone bullied you?”
She touched her lips and whispered, "You said it as if you would be able to deal with someone bullying me."
He touched her cheek gently.
How could there be no solution? Even if I had to make a deal with the devil and sacrifice my soul, I could still give her a good ending.
He once had too much in his mind and was dealt a bad hand.
This time, while he is still young, while his soul has not yet aged, he can still love you.
On the day Dai Ning left, she heard that Du Tian fell into the water. Zhao Yu did not go to rescue him, but she heard that Wang Ermaizi jumped in and fished him out.
Then Wang Ermaizi depended on her and insisted on marrying Ji Tian.
Zhao Anan was in the yard, reading a first-grade textbook.
The yard was quiet, with only the swing where Daning had sat swaying in the wind.
Zhao Yu rested his head on his arms, hoping to have a long sleep.
In this story, there is always someone who is sad.
Zhao Anan ran in breathlessly and woke him up.
"Brother! Brother!"
"The young lady is back!"
He opened his eyes and ran out of the yard.
At a glance, you can see a group of furry chicks surrounding the girl's feet in the sunset.
She raised her chin modestly and held out her hand to him.
Zhao Yu hugged her in his arms.
She laughed.
"Hey, sing me the song you sang to me that night again!"
