"Really? Who is that guy? Do I recognize him?"

"Look at you, Sister Hongmian, you're so interested in a man I'm not interested in. Be careful or I'll tell Brother Duan!"

"Hahaha, it's okay to tell him. My Donglin and I are not something that ordinary people can separate! Our bond is stronger than gold. Sister Hongmian, you are still confident about this!"

"Oh, Sister Hongmian, you came here on purpose to torture the dog today, didn't you?"

"You're calling yourself a bitch again, Xiaobei! I'm really impressed by you! You're still an unmarried young woman, so can you please pay attention to your reputation?"

"I don't want a good reputation. I'm just a sad dog that wants to cry because of the love between you and Brother Duan, which is stronger than gold. Woof woof~~"

"Hahaha……"

Shen Xiaobei didn't care about his image at all and joked with Gao Hongmian wantonly. The two of them played around for a long time until someone came to buy vegetables and they stopped.

In fact, this morning, Shen Xiaobei was really feeling depressed.

It was just a cover-up by joking with Gao Hongmian.

She didn't expect that Duan Xichuan really did nothing and just went back to the army. She felt as if a part of her heart had been taken away by him, and that corner seemed empty.

Inside, only her lonely echo remained.

Three days later in the evening, Shen Xiaobei still went to the river to wash clothes as usual. She didn't expect that she would see Duan Beihai today.

Because since the last time he brought his second brother to the river to find her, until yesterday, he had not come here once, and she thought that the child no longer liked to come here to play with her.

“Sister Shen!”

"Beihai, why did you think of looking for Sister Shen today? Do you want to play with the Rubik's Cube again?"

"Yes! But I also want to give Sister Shen a gift today!"

"Hey, you have a gift for me? What is it? Take it out and show it to me!"

Hearing that Duan Beihai was also going to give her a gift, Shen Xiaobei suddenly became curious.

She really couldn't think of what gift this little brat could give her?

“Sister Shen, close your eyes first. I’ll count to one, two, three, then you open them and look!”

"Alright! Now you're also learning from Sister Shen to keep things a secret. It's true that bad company breeds bad people. Hahaha! Okay, I'm closing my eyes!"

“Okay, one, two, three, Sister Shen, look!”

"Wow, a little wooden man! He's wearing a military cap and uniform, and saluting. He's so cute! Hey, Beihai, why does this little wooden man look a bit like you?"

When Shen Xiaobei opened his eyes, he found that Duan Beihai was holding a little figure carved out of wood, about the same length as his palm.

This little wooden figure is dressed as a soldier and his face looks a bit like Duan Beihai.

No, the little wooden man is wearing a military uniform. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that he looks a bit like Duan Xichuan, but Shen Xiaobei is embarrassed to say to Duan Beihai that he looks like your second brother.

"Of course, because my second brother carved it!"

"Your second brother carved it, so how did you give it to me?"

"Because my second brother said that you gave me so many pencils and notebooks, and I often came to you to ask for toys, so he said that I should reciprocate and give you a gift!"

"But I don't have anything good to give you, Sister Shen. I've worn out all the toys at home! So, my second brother specially carved a little wooden figure for me and told me to give it to you!"

"Ah? You mean, your second brother carved this little wooden figure originally to give to me?"

"Yes! My second brother gave it to me on the day he passed away!"

"I wanted to give it to you the other day, but I've been doing a lot of writing homework these days. I've also been memorizing a lot, and it's been overwhelming. So I couldn't think of anything to say, so I put it off until today."

"Really? Your second brother gave this to you on the day he passed away, and then asked you to give it to me?"

"yes!"

Duan Beihai blinked his big black eyes, a little confused as to why Shen Xiaobei looked so excited?

It’s just a little wooden figure. How can it be as fun as a toy like the Rubik’s Cube?

It seems that the things girls like to play are different from boys. Girls prefer to play simple things that don’t require much brainpower.
