Normally, Sugar would definitely make a couple of faces at Bean Sprouts and then run home to complain.
But today, Sugar Cube unusually squatted next to Bean Sprout, holding a small stick, and poked at the clothes in Bean Sprout's laundry basin.
Bean Sprout wanted to tell the candy block not to poke it, because if it made a hole, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Tang Zhiqing.
But thinking of Sugar's domineering personality, Bean Sprout swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She tried to coax Sugar:
"Candy, why didn't you play with the other kids today? Did they bully you?"
"Tell me who they are, and I'll use my dirt card to beat them up!"
Don't let Bean Sprout's timid appearance fool you; she'll fight tooth and nail if anyone bullies Sugar Cube.
The candy shook its head:
"No one bullied me. I just heard a story today and wanted to tell you, sister."
Bean Sprout was quite happy that Sugar Cube had something to tell her, and she nodded cheerfully:
"You go on," I said, listening as I washed the clothes.
Sugar Cube recounted its own version of the story, "A Down-on-His-Luck Male Educated Youth Falls in Love with a Country Girl," to Bean Sprout.
After finishing the explanation, the candy still wouldn't let it go and asked:
"Sister, do you think it would be good if I found a female educated youth like her when I grow up? That way I could go to the city and live a life of luxury!"
Douya's eyes sparkled. She felt that she was the heroine in the story, the hardworking village girl who broke through worldly conventions and bravely chose the urban educated youth.
Tang Zhiqing was the male educated youth who fell into hardship in the countryside.
The only difference is that although she and Tang Zhiqing both had feelings for each other, they kept their feelings within the bounds of propriety due to societal norms.
Douya always felt that Tang Zhiqing had feelings for her, otherwise why would he only let her wash his clothes instead of letting others do it?
It's because I'm close to her that I entrusted such an important matter to her!
This was purely wishful thinking on Douya's part. Tang Zixuan wanted someone else to wash it for him, but he would have to find someone to do so.
He was too lazy to wash himself, so he had to ask Bean Sprout, who was interested in him, to help him.
Originally, Douya was ready to accept her fate and keep Tang Zhiqing in her heart. Since they liked each other, she was willing to marry Xiaobaiyang!
When the time comes, with Xiaobaiyang's salary, she can not only take care of her family, but also help Tang Zhiqing out of his poverty, so her sacrifice won't have been in vain.
After hearing the story told by Sugar Cube, Bean Sprout's hope was rekindled. She clenched her fist and decided to fight for her own happiness.
Tang Kuai stared at Douya for a long time without getting a response, then angrily poked Tang Zixuan's clothes hard. With a "rip," a large hole appeared in Tang Zixuan's clothes.
Bean sprouts were out of breath:
"Sugar cube, how could you be so careless and ruin Tang Zhiqing's clothes? How am I going to explain this to Tang Zhiqing!"
The candy cube stood with its hands on its hips and argued back:
"Who told you to be so stupid as to wash it? It wasn't me who told you to. If you curse me again, I'll tell Mom!"
After saying that, the candy made two funny faces and ran away in a flash.
After Sugar Cube left, Bean Sprout was in a dilemma. How could she tell Tang Zhiqing?
Just as Douya was thinking, she heard Tang Zixuan carrying buckets of water walking over from a distance.
The bean sprouts beamed with joy:
"Tang Zhiqing, why are you helping me carry water again? I can manage on my own!"
Tang Zixuan's lips twitched. "You really have wild ideas. I even helped you carry water."
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to take a bath tonight and that the Wang family's water tanks were all dry, he wouldn't have come out to fetch water!
However, Tang Zixuan wouldn't say that. He just smiled and said:
"You and the young girl are not suited for such dirty and tiring work. Washing clothes and cooking are more suitable for you!"
"From now on, I'll take care of all the water carrying. I'm a man, so I have to do the heavy housework!"
