Song Yangmin and Qian Yu'an were watching a romance film.
Qian Yu'an stared intently throughout the entire movie, so Song Anmin, unable to look at her any longer, forced himself to watch the film.
Qian Yu'an was certainly aware of this as well.
Seeing that Song Yangmin no longer glanced at her, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the tips of her ears turned red.
By the time the movie ended, it was almost dark outside.
Song Yangmin took Qian Yu'an to the same noodle shop as last time to eat noodles.
The distance between the two of them inadvertently shortened again.
By the time we finished eating the noodles, it was almost dark.
Song Yangmin escorted Qian Yu'an back to her apartment building.
"I...I'll go up first."
Song Yangmin's lips twitched slightly, "I... Comrade Qian, I... I..."
Qian Yu'an blinked. "What's wrong with you?"
"Can I pursue you? I spend a lot of time in the military, have a good lifestyle, no bad habits, don't smoke or drink, and you've already met my mom. My parents are both easy to get along with."
Song Yangmin continued, pressing on with his words:
“I am the second oldest in my family. I have an older brother and sister-in-law, but they don’t live with us now. I have four younger brothers and sisters. My third brother usually lives at the factory, my fourth sister is still in college, my fifth brother works at the factory, and my sixth sister is the youngest in the family. She is my aunt’s daughter and she is still in high school.”
"I have feelings for you. I don't have much time off during the week, and we don't have many opportunities to meet, so I wanted to ask what you think. You don't have to answer me right away. I... I just wanted to ask if I can pursue you?"
Qian Yu'an was stunned when she heard this, and her face turned as red as a tomato.
"...I...I don't know." Qian Yu'an was caught off guard, and she turned to run away.
Song Yangmin gritted his teeth. Since he had already said it, he was going to get an answer today.
So he went up and pulled the person back.
"Just tell me, can I pursue you? We only met for the first time today—"
Qian Yu'an didn't dare to look Song Yangmin in the eye. Her voice was low and fast, "I don't know!"
After saying that, she wanted to go upstairs.
Song Yangmin wouldn't let her leave, his voice clearly tense, "Can I come see you next time? Don't feel pressured."
Qian Yu'an glanced quickly at Song Yangmin.
Their faces were both redder than the other.
Qian Yu'an suddenly laughed. She tapped her toes on the ground and whispered, "Whatever you want. I'm in the shop except when I'm resting."
Does this mean he's allowed to pursue her?
This time, Song Yangmin was stunned. Qian Yu'an took the opportunity to pull Song Yangmin's hand away, lifted her skirt, and ran upstairs.
A smile spread across Song Yangmin's face.
He grinned, feeling happy, and clenched his fists and then relaxed them.
He looked up at the rooftop and saw that the lights on the third floor had suddenly turned on.
Song Anmin stood there for a while and then went back.
Upstairs, Qian Yu'an stood behind the curtains. She saw Song Yangmin leave, her heart was still pounding, and the heat on her face had not yet subsided. Then she saw the eggs and apples on the table.
That was bought by Song Yangmin.
Oh dear! I didn't give it to him!
Qian Yu'an went to the balcony again, but Song Yangmin had already disappeared.
-
Song Yangmin returned to Heping Lane and found that his parents were not there.
"Second brother, you're back."
"Where are Mom and Dad?!"
Song Jianmin frowned. "The community just called. It was from my third aunt's village. They said my third aunt's husband injured her, and my parents have already gone there."
The call came back around 5 o'clock.
Song Xinfu and his wife rode away on their bicycles.
The fifth brother also wanted to go, but he had to go to work the next day, so he asked the fifth brother to stop the second brother and stay at home as well.
Song Yangmin's face darkened. "How could this happen?! Is Auntie's condition serious?"
Song Jianmin shook his head, saying he didn't know.
The Song Rongrong sisters also came out of the room.
The group looked at each other, bewildered. One thing after another had happened at home, and there had never been a moment of peace.
-
It takes about forty minutes to ride a bike to Zhaoyuan Village.
The Song couple rushed as fast as they could and arrived around six o'clock.
The man Song Yun married was named Zhuang Pinghua. About ten years ago, he was helping someone repair a house when he fell from the roof beam and injured his spine. He couldn't do heavy work normally, so he just sold eggs and fruits in town.
Song Yun was responsible for all the heavy farm work at home.
Zhaoyuan Village is located north of the city. Song Yun's fourteen-year-old daughter attends a high school in the north and lives on campus. She only comes home once a week and is more than two years younger than Song Yingying.
Song Zhiping and Grandpa Song are already at the farm.
Song Yun had just returned from getting her hand bandaged at the town's health center when Old Master Song was pointing at Zhuang Pinghua and cursing.
"Zhuang Pinghua, do you have any conscience? For the past ten years or so, Song Yun has been taking care of the family. A grown man like you just collects a few eggs to sell every day. How can you still have the nerve to support a woman?!"
"Damn it, if murder weren't illegal, I'd chop you up right now!"
"You dare bring him home in broad daylight, you motherfucker! If your parents weren't dead, I would have cursed them so badly they wouldn't be able to hold their heads up in the village anymore! You beast! It's a miracle you're dead!"
Old Master Song was really into his rant, “You’re tall and strong, but you pretend to be weak. Do you think you’re Lin Daiyu? You’re out of breath after just a few steps. What man is as spineless as you, you bastard! You’re supported by women, and you still have the nerve to flirt with other women outside. People like you should be struck by lightning!”
Song Xinfu and Xu Guiying arrived at this time.
"Dad, second brother!"
"What on earth happened?!" Seeing the blood on the ground, Song Xinfu acted impulsively and punched Zhuang Pinghua.
Zhuang Pinghua had already been dealt with by Old Master Song and Song Zhiping, and his face was covered in bruises.
Xu Guiying frowned and went into the room to check on Song Yun first.
