"How can we let you come back after working hard for four or five days and help make adobe bricks? Isn't that heartless of you!"
As soon as Hu Wenhua arrived and put down his tools for making adobe bricks, he heard a coquettish voice, and goosebumps rose uncontrollably all over his body.
Who is this?
Should I talk to him?
Did he stumble upon some secret rendezvous?
He immediately shook his head. Impossible. In broad daylight, in a work field, who would choose such a place for a secret rendezvous!
"Brother Wenhua, are you tired? If you are, sit down and rest for a while."
Hu Wenhua almost choked on his saliva!
This person was actually talking to him.
He straightened up and slowly turned to look at the man.
A woman I didn't know was working under the scorching sun without even wearing a sun hat. Sweat soaked her dry, yellow hair, which was sticky and matted to her forehead and face.
He's quite thin, but that's normal. Few people in Shanshui Village are fat. Most of them have just eaten and haven't had much oil in their bodies for a long time. They also do physical labor, so it's hard for them to gain weight.
Some of them were even darker-skinned than many of the men in the village.
But none of that is the key point. The key point is that he doesn't even know her!
Why did she speak to him in a tone that sounded like she knew him very well and cared about him?
"Didn't the Ding family hire someone? Are they trying to save money by forcing you to make adobe bricks despite your health? How could they do this?!"
Hu Wenhua stared in astonishment as the other person stomped their foot after speaking, "Who are you?"
When asked, Zhang Chunhua lowered her head shyly, twirled her hair that hung down her neck, and said, "My name is Zhang Chunhua."
Hu Wenhua's gaze fell on her muddy fingers and then turned her hair, thinking that this girl not only didn't care about hygiene, but also had poor comprehension skills.
Was he asking for her name? He was just making it clear that he and she weren't even acquainted!
He explained, somewhat annoyed, along with the previous question: "The Ding family didn't ask me to come; I came here to do some work because I had nothing else to do."
I'm not stupid; I know to sit down and rest when I'm tired. You don't need to tell me.
Remembering her mother's teachings that men love to be praised, Zhang Chunhua quickly complimented, "Brother Wenhua has amazing stamina!"
Hu Wenhua felt that these words sounded strange.
Is it appropriate for an unmarried young woman to praise a strange man like that?
I don't even know whose daughter Zhang Chunhua is; did her parents not teach her anything?
The Li family over there shook their heads as they listened.
“Chunhua, you can’t say these things. Go home and ask your mother, and you’ll know,” Aunt Li couldn’t help but advise.
Those two, Zhang the Bald and his wife, are really something. Their daughter is all grown up and they don't even teach her properly. Luckily, they're from the same village. If they were to say these things outside or if bad people heard them, would Chunhua's reputation be ruined?
Zhang Chunhua twisted her neck and felt that it was really inconvenient to have outsiders around!
She asked her mother what her mother had told her, and that's exactly what her mother had said.
My mother also said that this was how she praised my father back then, and he was so pleased that he insisted on marrying her.
“Aunt Li, I know my own situation perfectly well, so please don’t worry about it. By the way, isn’t Sister Tiantian older than me? Are you helping her with the road?”
Aunt Li's chest heaved violently with anger!
