It wasn't even five o'clock yet, and the countryside was extremely dark. It was no exaggeration to say that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

It was all thanks to the flashlight He Zheng brought that they were able to light the way. The dirt road was bumpy, and Su Erhe, sitting on the shelf at the back, was also bumpy. Her buttocks were never firmly seated, and she held on to the shelf tightly with both hands, for fear that she would be lifted up high if she passed a pothole. If she lost her grip, she would fall to the ground.

One pit after another, Su Erhe's internal organs were about to be shaken out.

Unable to bear it any longer, "Can you ride a bike?"

Are you picking only those who have been cheated?

"The road is like this, what can I do? Just hold on to me if you're afraid of falling." He Zheng has seen people riding bikes with girls, and they specifically choose places with potholes. The bike was shaken like this, and the girl was so scared that she hugged the boy riding the bike in front of her.

At the time, he just thought that this boy had a bad heart, but now...

How could Su Erhe not know this routine? She refused to do it. However, she had no choice but to hold on to the iron frame with both hands until it hurt. Then she remembered that there was a section of the road that was not so bumpy, so she let go and rode slowly. Unexpectedly, the bicycle suddenly passed a big pothole and she was directly shaken up high.

In a hurry, he didn't care whether to catch He Zheng or not. He quickly reached out his hand, but his fingertips slid through He Zheng's slippery shirt. He Zheng pedaled hard, and the bicycle rushed forward.

Su Erhe jumped up and then fell back down...

It was smashed to the ground.

This blow caused Su Erhe to feel a dull pain, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

He Zheng didn't know it yet. He walked forward for a while while whistling, wondering why the weight behind him became lighter.

"Sulhe,"

She shouted twice but no one answered. She was already sweating from riding her bike, and now she was even more frightened. She quickly turned around and went back to look for him. When she shone the flashlight, she saw Sulhe still sitting on the ground. She had fallen so hard that her butt felt like it was going to split.

He Zheng quickly parked his bike and reached out to pull her.

"Can you get up? Do you want me to hold you?"

Su Erhe had miscalculated this time, and He Zheng was not to blame. He endured the severe pain and stood up. He glanced at He Zheng. His eyes were watery, pitiful and cute. He Zheng looked at him, and his throat tightened. He muttered uncomfortably: "I let you catch me earlier."

"Seriously, if you can't comfort anyone, just shut up. I know I asked for this, and I don't blame you."

He didn't care about He Zheng anymore and limped forward. When he reached the bicycle, he looked at the 28-inch bicycle and thought that he had already fallen down several times and it couldn't be in vain. He held the handlebars and copied the 28-inch bicycle into the space with a thought. He definitely couldn't use it for the time being, but it didn't matter, it would definitely be useful in the future.

Looking at the bicycle in the space, Su Erhe finally felt a lot more balanced and the fall was not in vain.

The two continued to head to the slaughterhouse. This time, Suerhe didn't dare to take any more risks. He held on to the iron rack and didn't dare to let go.

He Zheng rode all the way and felt very uncomfortable. This guy was so heartless that he would rather fall than catch him. What would happen if he caught his waist?

The two of them are engaged, and it's not something they do secretly and shamefully.

I was in a bad mood all the way, and even at the slaughterhouse I still felt depressed.

His uncle worked in the slaughterhouse. Although it was still dark, most of the work was already done. All the slaughtered pigs had been taken out, leaving only one that had just been slaughtered, half of which had also been taken away.

Since it's a slaughterhouse, the smell is definitely not pleasant. The air is full of blood, and the ground is covered with blood, pig hair, broken bones, minced meat, etc. The lights are not bright enough, and everything looks gray and greasy, filled with a strong sense of the times.

"He Zheng, why did you think of coming here?" The person who spoke was He Qianjin, who was also He Zheng's uncle. He was a big and strong man, wearing brown clothes and a large apron with bloodstains on it. He was holding a big knife in his hand.

He Zheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and glanced at Su Erhe in a bad mood.

Su Erhe took two steps forward and said, "This is what I am doing, Uncle He. I have a problem with fainting when it comes to blood. My mother said it was a problem caused by being spoiled in the city for too long. So I thought that coming to the slaughterhouse to see what it is like might help me get rid of this problem."

In order to eat some meat, Su Erhe really risked everything. You can't say that she came here to copy pork, right?

If she didn't scare people to death, she would probably be taken away and sliced into pieces for research.

"Really? You still have this problem?" He Qianjin didn't think much about it. The girl in front of him looked very delicate. "The smell of blood is quite strong here. How about I pack two more pieces of pig blood for you to take back?"

"No, Uncle He, I feel like I've gotten used to it. I just want to know if I can touch the pig."

Su Erhe tried his best to restrain his excitement. Next to him was a freshly slaughtered pig, half a pig. Although it didn't look very big, it must have weighed at least 60 or 70 kilograms.

"You can touch it."

It's not a big deal to touch it, and can it possibly make the pork disappear? Anyway, as long as the pork is not missing, everything else is fine.

Besides, it was He Zheng's nephew who brought people here, so He Qianjin, as his uncle, had to give his eldest nephew some face.

Su Erhe was extremely excited, but she didn't want anyone to see it. She slowly stretched out her white and tender right hand and moved closer to her second brother's fat pig's trotter.

A beating heart, trembling hands.

Finally got it!

What a great joy!

Finally, Suerhe has meat to eat!

Su Erhe withdrew his hand and said, "I feel much better now, Uncle He. I won't delay your work and will leave first."

To be honest, the environment and smell of the slaughterhouse were not very good, and she really didn't like to stay in there for too long. She quickly went outside to breathe some fresh air. Seeing that He Zheng didn't come out, she quickly looked at the space again and confirmed that there was half a pig inside.

As expected, a living pig cannot be cloned, but it can be cloned after being slaughtered.

After waiting for a while, He Zheng came out of the slaughterhouse, holding a piece of meat in his hand, strung together with a straw rope. It looked to be about one pound, with fat and lean parts. He glanced at Suerhe.

Holding the rope, he handed the meat over and said, "Here."

"I don't want it." Su Erhe refused. "It's getting late. Do you still have to go to work? Let's go back."

He Zheng stood there without moving.

Su Erhe had already walked towards the bicycle, but when she saw that he hadn't caught up, she turned back and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"

He Zheng held the meat in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his right shoe in the mud, digging out a shallow indentation. He looked to be in a bad mood.

"Su Erhe, do you look down on me?"

Su Erhe sighed softly, thinking it would be a good opportunity to speak out. "Could it be that you are attracted to me? The one you are engaged to is the previous Su Erhe. I have only been back for a few days. To be honest, I am still confused and have not fully accepted the change of status. If you say that you are attracted to the previous Su Erhe, she is now the daughter of the Du family, you should try hard to pursue her. If you say that you are attracted to me, don't say that I don't believe it, do you believe it yourself? We have only known each other for a few days."

She thought what she said was reasonable and well-founded.

He Zheng remained silent, his right foot still digging a hole in the ground. After a while, he finally spoke, "You're such a talker! In the countryside, we don't really care about dating freely. Marriage is all decided by parents. When I was engaged to my ex, Su Erhe, wasn't it also decided by our parents? If you don't like me, then I don't like you either. There's no need to come up with these nonsense excuses."

Su Erhe always felt that what she said was different from what He Zheng understood, and she did not mean to belittle He Zheng. It was just that she did not have such thoughts. It was not that she disliked He Zheng, but He Zheng did not give her a chance to speak. He kicked away the bicycle kickstand and stepped on it.

"Let's go back to the village."

The journey back to the village was silent. He Zheng rode the bicycle steadily without saying anything. The bicycle stopped in front of the old Su's house and Su Erhe got off the bicycle.

"Thanks,"

Just as they started, He Zheng stuffed the piece of meat hanging on the handlebar into her hands and left without saying a word.
