In fact, Funiu is not the only one who is troubled by love affairs.
Just before Funiu sought help from her sister-in-law, Xu Jianguo took a few people out to eat luzhu.
Under the influence of alcohol, Shitou had already expressed the pain of missing someone in his heart.
As for the fact that he liked Fu Niu, among the men in the Xu family, except Lin Hongtao and Li Xiangdong, Xu Zhengyang and Xu Pingan had already known the whole thing.
Especially Xu Zhengyang, he is Xu Jianguo’s eldest son, and he went back to Sandaliang Village with his family when he was a child.
He only remembered that Uncle Shitou was particularly kind to him at that time.
Although they are uncle and nephew in terms of seniority, their ages are not that different. They usually exchange letters and phone calls, and get along more like brothers and friends.
Therefore, he is particularly supportive of the relationship between himself, Uncle Shitou, and his aunt.
Therefore, on the day when several people went out to eat braised pork and drink wine, when Xu Zhengyang listened to Uncle Shitou complaining to his father, he felt helpless and moved.
Unfortunately, due to her aunt's quirky personality, she didn't know whether she really didn't know that Uncle Shitou liked her or was just pretending to be stupid.
What touched me was Uncle Shitou’s persistence in caring for my aunt.
While at the dinner table, Xu Jianguo listened to Shitou's confession of his lovesickness, but did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he really became a listener and listened carefully to what Shitou said.
After he finished speaking, and sat there dejectedly, Xu Jianguo raised his hand, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Shi Tou, I understand the pain in your heart. I don't need to explain the big principles to you. I believe you know as much as I do. What I want to tell you is that now that you have made up your mind, you must stick to it, so as not to regret it later!"
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, Shitou's eyes seemed to light up.
He looked up at Xu Jianguo and asked, "Brother, do you think I still have a chance?"
"Of course! You are the one who is confused by the situation. Haven't you noticed that Funiu's attitude towards you is a little different recently?" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Shi Tou was slightly stunned, and his mind began to recall every detail of his recent interactions with Fu Niu.
Gradually, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and the light became brighter and brighter.
…
As for Funiu, after hearing the ambiguous words said by her sister-in-law, she fell into deep thought.
She recalled every detail of her recent interactions with Li Lei, and the happy times they had spent playing together as children. Every detail began to become extremely clear in her mind.
Gradually, she realized that her feelings for Li Lei were no longer just childhood friendship and current friendship.
But it's love, a love that goes beyond friendship.
Wen Sitian, who was sitting next to Funiu, couldn't help but smile at the expression on her face. She reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and said, "Shitou is a good guy. I think you two should try dating. Even if you don't end up being a couple, at least you've tried hard, so you won't regret it when you're old."
Funiu listened to what Wen Sitian said, thought for a moment, and nodded vigorously.
During a weekend date, Funiu and Li Lei came to an ancient Taoist temple on Xiangshan Mountain in Jingzhou.
The Taoist temple is filled with curling smoke and is quiet and peaceful.
The two of them strolled along the path through the woods, and the tranquility of their surroundings made their communication more profound.
Finally, when the two of them arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain and were about to rest, Shitou looked at the girl, or rather the woman, whom he had loved for many years, and felt that she was a little different today. He mustered up the courage to speak, "Funiu, I have something to tell you!"
Fu Niu was slightly stunned, then she smiled beautifully, nodded, and said, "Brother Shi Tou, go ahead!"
Shitou turned around, looked Funiu straight in the eye, and spoke, "Funiu, I've loved you since I first saw you when I was four! But back then, I naively thought my affection for you was the affection of a brother for his sister. It wasn't until we separated and grew older that I realized how wrong I was. But when I wanted to confess my feelings to you, I suddenly realized that our relationship seemed a little awkward, as if we had gone from good friends to close buddies. And you were completely blind and deaf to the feelings I expressed in my letters, which distressed me greatly. But after coming to Jingzhou this time, I've noticed that you seem different now, and I never seem to have expressed my feelings to you face to face. So, today, I want to tell you my truest thoughts. Even if the answer I get isn't what I want, at least I tried my best for you and for myself, and I won't regret it when I think about it later!"
Funiu listened very carefully to what Shi Tou said, as if she wanted to imprint every word in her heart.
But when she heard that the two of them had become buddies from good friends, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and reveal a smile.
Shitou looked into Funiu's eyes, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Funiu, I like you. No, I should say I'm in love with you, deeply in love with you! Are you willing to accept my love and let me be the one who will stand by you through thick and thin in the future?"
Shi Tou seemed to have used up all his strength to say this, and when he asked the question that was buried deep in his heart, his tone became a little trembling.
Just as Shitou finished speaking, Funiu's eyes instantly turned red.
The two of them stood in the pavilion and looked at each other affectionately. A breeze blew by from time to time, making the whole picture look beautiful.
After a moment, Funiu sniffed, showed a bright smile to Shitou, raised her right hand, extended her little finger and said, "Brother Shitou, you have to keep your word!"
Shitou was slightly stunned, then he was suddenly ecstatic. He quickly stretched out his little finger and made a pinky promise with Funiu, and finally stamped it solemnly.
"We'll make a pinky promise and never change it for a hundred years!" As the two recited this "oath", a bell suddenly rang out in the ancient Taoist temple.
Then the two smiled at each other, clasped their hands together, and walked briskly down the mountain.
In this way, two people who were tied together but lost in their respective emotional worlds gradually found a new direction and began to run towards their respective goals. After going through thousands of mountains and rivers, they finally met, and finally came together and continued to move towards their new life.
