Chapter 227 Cool 2
When He Zhigang rode his bike to Lingxia Village, it was a little after two in the afternoon, which was also the hottest time of the day.
Anyway, when Chu Hong saw him, there were obvious sweat stains on his chest and back.
When he saw it was Chu Hong, he smiled shyly and said, "I wanted to ask you if there is anything you want to bring back from An City? We have to go there again in a few days."
He raised the watermelon in his hand and said, "I'm really sorry for being so rude to you. I'm treating you to watermelon. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Of course Chu Hong knew that he said bringing something with him was just an excuse, and it was obvious that he wanted to come and see Chu Dan.
She didn't turn anyone away: "Come in first."
Then he shouted inside: "Chu Dan, someone is looking for you, hurry up."
The whole family was cleaning the pig's offal. After finally cleaning it clean, they put it in a big pot and started to stew it.
Chu Dan rode his bicycle and took Chu Hong back and forth. He has been busy since returning home. He just took a shower and lay there motionless.
When she heard someone looking for her, she stood up and came out. When she saw that it was He Zhigang, she put her hands on her hips and said like a shrew, "You dare to come to my house? Do you believe I will break your legs?"
She had just taken a shower, her half-dry hair was loose, and she was wearing a light blue loose cotton long skirt that she had made this year.
After all, she is young and beautiful, even though she looks so fierce, wild yet charming.
At this moment, He Zhigang thought she was particularly pretty, and quickly apologized in a low voice: "I was wrong before, don't be angry, I will treat you to a movie and ice cream later."
Chu Hong added firewood to the stove, then came out, took out the watermelon soaked in the wooden barrel and cut it open.
The watermelons we have nowadays are of an old variety. When you cut them open, you can see black watermelon seeds densely embedded in the red flesh.
"Eat watermelon first. Sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to say." Chu Hong didn't plan to get involved too much: "I'm going to do the laundry first."
If He Zhigang had arrived a few minutes earlier, his parents would still be at home.
Now that they have gone to work, Chu Hong is not going to call them back for such a small matter.
Anyway, it is unlikely that He Zhigang's parents would agree to their relationship. If his parents were too polite to him, He Zhigang might misunderstand that his parents were trying to get close to the He family.
The sun was too strong outside, so Chu Hong gave up the idea of washing clothes and simply went to the next room to eat watermelon.
This room is where my parents live. It is separated from the kitchen by only a wall. I can hear the voices of Chu Dan and He Zhigang talking in the kitchen.
Chu Hong suspected that Chu Dan might want to make a quick decision. She said to He Zhigang, "I can pretend that I didn't see it, but within ten days, you have to convince your parents to come to your house."
"If it doesn't work, let's forget it."
He Zhigang looked embarrassed: "This amount of time is not enough, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"It's not that there's not enough time, it's that your parents don't like me." Chu Dan is not a fool: "If this is the reason, even if another year or two passes, it won't change my background."
He Zhigang didn't expect her to speak so bluntly. The smile on his face disappeared. He held his head with both hands, looking like he had a headache. "In another two years, my parents will see my determination. They will definitely be moved by me and agree that we can be together."
If Chu Dan hadn't heard his elder sister talk about her life after marriage, he might have thought that what he said made sense.
It's a pity that my eldest sister divorced so easily because of the difficulties caused by her mother-in-law.
Just like my eldest sister said, if your mother-in-law doesn't like you, no matter how well you do, she will find fault with you and look down on you.
Chu Dan immediately shook his head: "If it's really like what you said, I guess your mother was not moved by your determination, but defeated by my thick skin."
Thinking of her second sister saying that she was a little love-brained, she felt that her second sister was wrongly accusing her. She was a very clear-headed person.
"My eldest sister got divorced because she had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. With this experience, I don't have to make the same mistake again."
Although the eldest sister got divorced because she was unable to give birth to a son, if Aunt Su had taken better care of her son, she would have been able to keep him under control.
Anyway, when she was collecting pigs to go into the water, her elder sister talked about her failed marriage, which really made her learn a lesson.
That's why Chu Dan said such words.
If he has the ability, he can ask his parents to come and propose marriage within ten days.
If it doesn't work, then forget it, there's no need to bother.
He Zhigang's face darkened: "Why are you so aggressive? Why don't you understand me?"
When Chu Dan heard this, he felt very disappointed: "I just think we are not suitable. I have a bad temper and I can't coax people."
He Zhigang was in a bad mood, so he blurted out: "When you were a nanny in my house, weren't you very good-tempered?"
After saying this, I felt that what I said was a bit hurtful and wanted to apologize.
But before he could speak, Chu Dan pointed at him and said quickly: "He Zhigang, let's not meet again in the future. You and I are really not suitable."
Then he sneered: "Oh, do you think this is the old society? Do you think you are a young master and I am a maid?"
"I am especially thankful that we live in a new society where men and women are equal."
He Zhigang was born into a good family and was a proud man, as he never went hungry even during the great famine a few years ago.
Hearing her sarcastic words and looking at her angry eyes, he said coldly: "Okay, I will never come to see you again, and we will not contact each other again."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Chu Dan watched him disappear in front of him and couldn't help but pursed his lips. Finally, he sat down on the stool, tilted his head back and his eyes turned red.
Chu Hong, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, was eating a large watermelon before she stood up and took the watermelon rind to the kitchen. Seeing Chu Dan's expression, she was unusually gentle: "Silly boy, if you want to cry, just cry. You don't have a crown on your head, so even if you lower your head, you don't have to worry about the crown falling off, right?"
Chu Dan snorted with red eyes and said stubbornly: "I'm not crying. I will also marry a son-in-law in the future, so that I don't have to worry about being bullied by my mother-in-law."
Chu Hong didn't pay any more attention to her. She yawned and walked out: "I'm going to sleep for a while. You watch over the fire."
Chu Dan was unhappy: "I was the one who rode the bike to take you back and forth, I was more tired, and my partner was gone, so I needed to lie down, how dare you let me watch the fire in the kitchen?"
"No, I think you can't sleep, you just need some quiet time." Chu Hong said lazily, "It's not a big deal if you lose your partner. The next one will be better."
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the hot summer was only a tail away.
By the end of July, it was a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.
Chu Hong has finally fulfilled her duties as the director of the Women's Department these days, and takes turns to do ideological work for the women in the village every day.
Nowadays, it is common for women in the village to fight with each other.
What’s even more depressing is that if the villagers know that there is a fight between two families, they tend to watch the fight more than try to stop it.
Of course, if Chu Hong wasn't the director of the Women's Department, she would have squeezed to the front to watch the fun up close.
