Chapter 73: Impressed by Her Courage
With a scream, a splash of water appeared on the surface of the river.
"Oh, Chunhua..."
Da Kun's mother saw Ma Chunhua fall into the water, and she stood up in panic to help, but she couldn't reach Ma Chunhua's hand.
Ma Chunhua struggled to get out of the water and saw that her woolen coat had been washed away by the river. She was heartbroken and said, "My coat..."
"Chunhua, stop trying to pull out the clothes. Come up quickly. The water is deep over there..."
When Dakun's mother saw Ma Chunhua swimming deeper for her clothes, she was frightened and tried to stop her. Ma Chunhua also felt that she could not reach the bottom with her feet, so she could only quickly struggle towards the shore.
When Da Kun's mother pulled her ashore, she looked back and found that her most expensive coat had just floated away with the water.
"Oh my coat... a coat worth hundreds of dollars... I was planning to wear it on my daughter's wedding day, and now it's gone... washed away by the water..."
Ma Chunhua felt sorry for her clothes and started crying, beating her chest and stamping her feet.
Dakun's mother advised her, "Chunhua, forget about the clothes, your life is more important!"
"Whatever...what..."
When Ma Chunhua looked up at the shore, she happened to catch a glimpse of Su Luo who was watching coldly. When she met Su Luo's cold eyes, she felt her scalp tingling and her heart a little scared.
Thinking of the evil wind behind her and the sudden fall into the water, Ma Chunhua immediately remembered the reason.
She climbed up from the stone slab, pointed at Su Luo, and cursed, "You damn girl, was it you? Did you push me from behind just now? What the hell, how could I meet such a jinx like you? I'm so unlucky when I meet you."
Su Luo walked down the steps carrying the basket and came to Ma Chunhua's side. "Excuse me, which eye did you see me push you? I was standing on the dam and you were at the riverbank. You fell into the river on your own initiative. No one stopped you. This aunt can testify to that."
Dakun's mother spoke fairly, "Yes, Chunhua, you just slipped in by yourself, no one pushed you!"
"Why didn't anyone push me? I just felt a sudden push from behind. Who else could it be but her? Besides the two of us, she's the only one here, sneaking around like that."
Ma Chunhua said to Da Kun's mother again, "Sister-in-law, don't disbelieve me. This girl is very weird. Since she came to Jiangjiaba, Jiangjiaba has never been peaceful."
Da Kun's mother looked at Su Luo. She felt that Su Luo was a good girl and didn't seem to have any bad intentions.
"Okay, Chunhua, go back and change your clothes!"
After Da Kun's mother's persuasion, Ma Chunhua was dragged ashore, but she refused to go back. She wanted to find her clothes. Ignoring Da Kun's mother's persuasion, she ran downstream along the river.
Su Luo stayed alone by the river to wash clothes, which was quite peaceful.
Not long after, Da Kunzi rode a cow past the river dam and noticed someone washing clothes by the river. He recognized Su Luo at a glance.
He tied the buffalo under a tree on the dam, let the buffalo graze on its own, and ran over to greet Su Luo.
"Su Luo, are you doing laundry?"
Su Luo looked up when she heard the voice and saw that it was Da Kunzi. She smiled and said, "Xiao Likun, it's you!"
"Yes, my mother went back and said she saw you by the river."
It was because of what his mother said that Da Kunzi passed by here specifically to see if he could run into Su Luo.
"Oh, so that aunt is your mother. I didn't know."
Su Luo said with a smile and continued to wash clothes.
"Yes, that's my mom. She comes here to wash things too."
Da Kunzi simply sat on the stone steps next to her and chatted with her.
Su Luo remembered the agreement between herself and Da Kunzi and told him, "By the way, you asked me before which school I would go to and what grade I would be in. It was decided today."
"Really? Which school do you go to?" Da Kunzi asked.
"I will go to Weinan No. 1 Middle School and start from the third year of high school." Su Luo told him.
Da Kunzi was extremely excited after hearing this. "Really? Su Luo! I also go to Weinan No. 1 Middle School. I've finished my second year of high school and will be in my third year soon."
"What a coincidence!"
Su Luo thought Da Kunzi was just a cowherd, but she didn't expect that he was already in high school.
"Yes, it's such a coincidence. We may still be able to continue to be revolutionary comrades and study hard together."
After knowing that Su Luo would go to the same school as him, Da Kunzi's mood became even better, and the corners of his mouth were almost cracked to his ears.
"It's a good thing I know you, otherwise I'm really afraid I won't be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment after school starts." Su Luo said.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you in school from now on."
Da Kunzi patted his chest and promised. After thinking about the future, he asked Su Luo, "Su Luo, what do you plan to do in the future? Do you have any ideals?"
When asked by Da Kunzi, Su Luo began to think seriously about it. After thinking for a while, she told him, "I don't have any big ideals. I just want to get into Tsinghua University first."
“…”
Wow!
Can we still have a pleasant chat?
When Da Kunzi heard her say this, he didn't know how to respond. Su Luo casually said that she would just get into a top-notch university that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.
And you still say this is not a big ideal?
So what is the big ideal?
He was really about to be impressed by Su Luo's courage. After all, he had never thought so far ahead. He didn't even know if he could pass the exam after graduating from high school!
It was already very difficult for his family to support him to go to high school. His parents said that if he failed the exam, he would go back home to farm and herd cattle and continue to live his current life.
In fact, Su Luo had no idea that a casual remark of hers could have such an impact on a young man. It could even be said that it could change a person's destiny.
On this scorching afternoon, a seed of ideal is quietly gestating.
Su Luo finished washing the clothes and put the clean clothes in the basket. She put away the basin, mallet and other things and prepared to go back.
Da Kunzi said enthusiastically, "Su Luo, I'll take you back."
"No, no, I can do it myself."
Su Luo didn't need his help and didn't want to delay him from herding cattle.
Just as the two were fighting for the basket, another figure appeared on the dam.
Qin Zhan walked up from a distance and saw a boy trying to grab Su Luo's basket. Without thinking, he shouted, "Stop! What are you doing?"
He thought it was the same mischievous boy from the last movie night who wanted to bully Su Luo, so he ran over quickly.
When Da Kunzi heard the sound, before he could even turn around, he felt someone kicked in the butt.
With a scream of "Ah", he plunged into the water.
"Xiao Likun!"
Su Luo was stunned and turned to look at Qin Zhan, "Brother Zhan, why did you kick him? He was just trying to help me carry the basket!"
“…”
Qin Zhan realized that he had kicked the wrong person. Looking at the person struggling in the water, he cried out in his heart, "Oh no!"
