Chapter 52 What they said makes sense
Lu Dongping licked his slightly dry lips. "Why is she unreliable? That's why she made it so clear to me. I absolutely must have her. I'm the one who's looking for a partner, and I want to spend my whole life with her. Why are you so anxious?"
"Why are we in such a hurry? Can we be with you forever? Whether it's a man or a woman, the best years of life are only a few years long. If you don't seize the opportunity, it will be hard to miss it. We also want you to find someone better and more suitable for your taste. You said you wanted to pursue Wen Wan and wanted to date her, did we say a word of no? The problem is that she told you very clearly that her family is not here and she will have to go back sooner or later. It's obvious that this relationship won't work out, but you are still determined to date her. What the hell is in your head? Fuck?"
"Oh, that's easy for you to say. You can go find her when she goes back. Do you think it's that easy to get into the city now? Even going to a county town requires all sorts of certificates and paperwork, let alone a place as big as the capital. How can you go to a big city with a rural household registration to find her? How many days can you stay there? You'll just starve there. If the city was that easy to get into, everyone would have gone. No one wants to suffer a lifetime here, facing the earth and back to the sky!"
"You are my child, and every mother thinks her son is the best. Dongping, you have been a stubborn donkey since you were a child, and you are a bandit to the extreme. Everyone in the team said things about you, but your father and I pretended not to hear. You are grown up now, and we are unable to do anything for you. If you can make it as an official in the commune on your own, you are already promising. Really, your expectations are not high, so it's good enough. But to be honest, compared with those educated youth in the big cities, you are still inferior! Your family conditions are poor, and your cultural knowledge is poor. Wenwan's family is rich, and our ancestors have been farmers for generations. Wenwan graduated from high school, and you are only in the third grade of elementary school..."
"Are you annoying? Can you please stop talking?" Lu Dongping choked out in anger. "I should be asking you, but now you're saying this and that. Am I the one looking for a partner, or are you? I'm willing to delay, I'm willing to fight for it. I don't want others, but I want Wen Wan. So what? I'm very poor and uneducated now, but I don't plan to be poor all my life. Wen Wan, no matter what you think, she is a gold nugget to me, a treasure. I don't want a gold nugget, but I want a dirt nugget. I'm crazy!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
Zhang Hongying called him: "Dinner is ready, where are you going?"
"I don't want to eat anymore!"
After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Wen Wan standing in the yard. The little girl looked at him eagerly, her face and nose red from the cold, and she instinctively took two steps back when she saw him.
Lu Dongping closed his eyes and sighed. What the hell is going on so early in the morning?
He walked over to her and grabbed her sleeve. "When did you get here? Why don't you come in? You're freezing outside like an idiot."
"Lu Dongping!" Wen Wan squatted down and broke free from his hand: "I, I won't go in yet!"
There had just been a quarrel inside, and it was because of her. It would be too embarrassing for her to go in now.
Lu Dongping's face darkened slightly. He knelt down and touched her braid with the root of his tongue. Suddenly he stretched out his hand, grabbed her waist and lifted her up.
Wen Wan screamed in fear: "Ah! Lu Dongping, what are you doing? Let me go, put me down!"
Lu Dongping snorted twice, carried the person on his shoulders and walked towards the main hall. Put him down? That was totally impossible.
Lu Donglin, who was in the kitchen, stood up and ran out when he heard the sound. Zhang Hongying quickly grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? Behave yourself!"
"Let go, let go, I heard Sister Wen Wan's voice, is my brother bullying her? I want to go and see!"
"Behave yourself, you little bastard! Why are you so concerned about adults' affairs? Can your brother bully Wen Wan? Wen Wan is his ancestor now, how can he bear to bully her? Just stay here and don't go anywhere!"
"Chun'e, watch him!"
Outside, Lu Dongping carried Wen Wan on his shoulders and did not let go even though she punched and kicked him. He carried her all the way into the house where he and Lu Donglin lived.
Throw the person on the bed.
Lu Donglin got up without folding the quilt, but rolled it up into a heap, like a doghouse.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Dongping would never let Wen Wan see this, but he did it this time.
"How long have you been here? Did you hear me talking to my mother in the kitchen?"
Wen Wan nodded: "I heard it all!"
Lu Dongping was almost angry to death.
This wasn't enough. Wen Wan sat on the bed, calming her pounding heart a little. She clasped her hands together and said, "Lu Dongping, I think, I think what your mother said makes sense. I..."
Lu Dongping reached out and covered her mouth with his hand: "Shut up, swallow what you want to say, okay? If you dare to say it, I will kiss you right here, right now, believe it or not?"
Wen Wan blinked her eyes, raised her hand and slapped his hand. After two whimpers, she kicked him when he loosened his hand: "Lu Dongping, have you washed your hands? Do you have any respect for hygiene?"
Lu Dongping reached out and grabbed her feet, pulled her towards him, and pressed down on her by holding her waist.
Not only did he want to kiss, he also wanted to do something else. This posture was too seductive and too familiar. He had just dreamed about it last night, and his dream came true as soon as the sun rose.
Wen Wan was really scared now.
I was pinned down and couldn't move. The room was a little dark, but the man's gaze was so strange and scary, as if he wanted to eat me.
She struggled, but couldn't push him away. Her eyes suddenly turned red: "Lu Dongping, what are you doing? Get up! I didn't mean to hit you. Who asked someone to cover me with his hands..."
Lu Dongping hissed and said in a deep voice: "Be quiet and don't move!"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment. In all the time they knew each other, Lu Dongping always spoke with a smile, and his tone had never been so harsh.
The contents of the already red eyes could no longer be contained and flowed down from the corners of the eyes.
Lu Dongping reached out and touched the wet spot on her temple. He frowned and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck!" Why did he make me cry?
He reached out to wipe it, but slowed down for fear of hurting her: "Why are you crying? Why are you crying? I was just scaring you, I didn't mean to do anything to you." Lu Dongping stood up, helped her up, and let her sit on his lap.
Wen Wan sniffed, reached out to push him, tears welling up in her eyes: "You not only scare me, you're also mean to me!"
"No, I didn't mean to you."
"You are. You are mean to me and you refuse to admit it." Wen Wan sniffed and slid off him. She sat on the simple bed in the dim room and looked at him: "Lu Dongping, I heard everything you said in the kitchen. I think what your family said makes sense. We are indeed not suitable. They raised you for so many years, and we have only known each other for a few days. You don't understand me, and I don't understand you. There is no need for you to put your whole life on me."
At this moment, Lu Dongping felt as if a hand was strangling his neck. He couldn't break free and was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
"Wanwan, they said what they said, but we are the ones who want to date and spend our lives with. If you insist on this, then I want to make things clear right now."
"Do you also think what they say makes sense? I'm poor, I'm uneducated, I'm not worthy of you? Have you never been interested in me? Do you think my pursuit of you is a joke, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, a fool who doesn't know his own weight?"
Wen Wan sniffed: "I don't think that way, don't talk nonsense."
"So what do you think?" Why don't you tell me?
Lu Dongping felt that all his patience in this life had been used on this little girl.
The little crybaby is made of water. If you poke it lightly, water will flow out. It hurts him like a knife is cutting his heart.
"I've told you everything I thought."
Lu Dongping slowly moved closer to her: "That was before. You said you didn't understand me. Do you understand me a little bit now?"
Wen Wan nodded as if possessed by some unknown force under his expectant gaze, then quickly shook her head.
What do you mean by understanding? Some people have been together for more than ten years and still don’t understand each other. How can she understand it now?
Lu Dongping laughed and said angrily: "What's the meaning of nodding and shaking your head? Speak nicely." He didn't dare to speak louder, otherwise he would be accused of being fierce and he would cry again.
Wen Wan looked at him seriously: "I think you are a good person."
That’s it?
Lu Dongping gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to be a good person." Then he leaned forward and said, "I just want to be your man!"
Wen Wan put her hands over her burning ears and said, "Lu Dongping, stop talking nonsense."
Lu Dongping stood up straight and raised his eyebrows: "How can you say that's nonsense? I'm just telling the truth."
"I told you, I'm poor now, but I'll do my best to treat you well and won't let you live a life worse than before. I still have a long life ahead of me, and I don't believe I can be poor forever."
"As for saying I'm not as educated as you, I admit it. I only went to the third grade, can do some accounting, and can recognize a few words, but nothing else. But no one says that high school students have to date high school students, right? What's wrong with being uneducated? I can still eat and earn money without being educated. I'll learn whatever I need. It's not like I can't learn. Wasn't it because the conditions back then were too difficult to go to school? If I had the conditions I have now, I would definitely be able to graduate from high school and be no worse off than any of you educated youth."
Wen Wan sniffled and hiccuped, glancing at him furtively. He caught her red-handed and reached out to poke her face gently. "Little crybaby, I haven't done anything yet, and you think I'm mean. Are you made of water? You get shaken off at the slightest noise."
Wen Wan rudely slapped him on the hand again and said, "Just speak nicely, don't touch me." As she spoke, she took a long breath with a trembling voice, and you could imagine how sad she had been crying just now.
