After dinner, they asked about some family matters, which were the same over and over again. Xu Shiqing's parents didn't come home very often, and his uncle's family seldom went to the capital. Firstly, the journey was too long, and secondly, they would lose their land in their hometown if they left.
While Xu Shiqing was eating and packing, Xie Chongyue's mother told him everything about the family. She was a very capable woman, and her eyes were visibly filled with joy. She moved his luggage to the side room, which had already been packed.
In the afternoon, Xie Chongyue was going to work in the fields. Xu Shiqing was a guest, so no one else called him. Xu Shiqing walked out from the end of the village. He had no memory of this village. Xu Hanqiu and his wife had Xu Shiqing after he came to the capital to work hard. He was a late-born child, so he doted on him, which led to his lawless and spoiled personality.
This time Xu Shiqing ran away from home because he wanted his father to find him a matchmaker, but the daughter of a wealthy family and his family members looked down on him. Of course Xu Shiqing made a fuss. He had no idea that he was unlovable, so he argued with his parents and no one could persuade him.
So Xu Hanqiu really wanted to teach him a lesson this time. What kind of place is the capital? Throwing a stone down would make him look like the descendant of a seventh-rank official. Their family is an ordinary family that just wants to live a good life. His son's troublemaking temper must be changed.
So when Xu Shiqing ran away from home, he sent a telegram directly to his hometown. Xu Hanqiu knew his son's temperament well and he didn't dare to go to a place where he was not familiar with. He cherished his life.
Everyone in Xujia Village looked at the child of the promising second son of the Xu family at the end of the village with curiosity.
This made Xu Shiqing mutter, feeling like he was some rare animal.
He was somewhat torn between the three tasks, and his worries were revealed in his eyes. His cultured face had a hint of sadness, which made the girl stare at him. After all, his face was really outstanding, with a white and noble complexion that could not be found in the village.
Even if we can't get married, being able to hold hands and kiss each other is a big win.
Xie Chongyue raised his head from the ground and saw everything. He thought that this relative from the city was quite powerful. Before the day was over, all the young ladies who had been chasing after him had been seduced away.
"Is the younger brother of the Xu family coming back today?" A brave girl approached. She had just harvested vegetables from the field and was sweating a little, her tanned skin glistening. "I'm the daughter of the village chief. My father sent Uncle Xu's telegram."
There are few people in the village who can read, and the village chief is one of them.
Xu Shiqing suddenly understood and said, "Hello, comrade."
As he spoke, he bowed as he usually did in school.
It's very polite, but it also makes farmers feel uncomfortable.
"Hey... hello, comrade." Xu Huachun's relaxed demeanor faded. She reached out and brushed back her hair. "I'm Xu Huachun. What's your name?"
"Xu Shiqing, you can call me whatever you want." Xu Shiqing said stiffly. After a pause, he turned stiffly and asked, "Comrade, has anything happened in the village recently?"
He added the usual explanation: "I came back to collect materials and wanted to write some local stories."
That was an excuse. Writing, it sounded high-brow. Xu Huachun had attended night school and knew a few words. He could understand the paintings and newspapers that young girls looked at. His face flushed slightly, and he said with a smile, "What could possibly go on in a village with only a few dozen households? It's all just trivial matters. You're from the capital, so you've seen much more than us. What can you possibly learn here?"
"Oh." Xu Shiqing nodded, a little unwillingly: "When something happens, can you tell me?"
Xu Huachun laughed and said, "What's going on? I'll tell my sisters, and they'll all come to see you tomorrow."
This would inevitably give others the impression that he was frivolous and frivolous. Xu Shiqing hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no need to rush into it, and said, "Forget it. There are differences between men and women. I don't want to trouble the female comrades."
Things like this were mostly just jokes, and Xu Huachun didn't care. She just refused, so she waved her hand, picked up the basket and went back to her sisters. She was just about to meet up with them, but it was afternoon now, so they took a break under the tree and then went home.
Xu Shiqing stood on the edge of the field, wanting to go down and help. However, as soon as he stood there, he realized he couldn't do the work. He still had his coat on, and his shoes made it difficult to get out of the field. Xie Chongyue wiped his sweat off his face and saw him standing there in a daze. He said jokingly, "It's not reasonable to ask guests to work. Go back and rest. I was just curious, so I just watched from the side. Come back with us later!"
He turned back to his work on the ground. His skin was tanned and shiny under the sun, and his muscles were clearly defined, full of male hormones.
"..." Xu Shiqing stood there for a while and walked back. He didn't know anyone here and it would be awkward to say anything, so he decided not to stay and get in the way.
On the way back, I heard someone say, "Xie Chongyue is a child that the Xu family has raised well. He is very efficient and has a strong body. Boss Xu will have a good life in his old age!"
He paused. His last name was Xie, not Xu. This sounded like his uncle was cheating on him. At the dinner table, he heard the man being introduced by his uncle in a few words, so he didn't want to ask about his last name.
Again, he is not familiar with it, so it is not easy to ask.
Now it seems that there is no complicated emotional entanglement here. It is simply that the other party is not my uncle's biological son, because my aunt's surname is not Xie, but Lin.
But there was a story behind this name. Xu Shiqing wasn't sure if it was due to a memory lapse or because his father hadn't mentioned it.
