These two days, the villagers of Hetou Village are busy transplanting camphor trees.
Xiaohua was the only one free at home, so the task of planting the tree was given to him.
After breakfast, Xiaohua went to the field with a shovel. He threw his things away, spat twice into his palms, picked up the shovel and started working.
After all, he was an eighteen-year-old young man with a muscular body and dark skin that reflected the sun. He was shoveling soil outside with a clanging sound.
"Brother!" someone shouted from behind.
Xiaohua stopped and it was Xiaowu.
Xiao Wuren is also tall and big, one or two centimeters taller than Xiaohua. He has a good physique and looks straight and tall from behind, but Xiao Niangyu always avoids his gaze when she sees his face.
I was a little afraid of his burned face.
"Why are you here? Are you digging camphor trees too?" Xiaohua supported his arm with a shovel.
"That's not right, your fields are far away from here!"
Xiaowu wiped his nose and said, "My house is all built. My brother, my father and I are working together."
"That's definitely faster. Look at me, I'm alone."
"Well, isn't this me? I was just about to go back when I saw you coming from afar. I've finished my work and wanted to help you!"
Xiaowu always likes to touch his nose when he talks, which makes Xiaohua feel uneasy.
It was all because his nose was wrinkled from the burn, and the skin on his small nose was of several different colors, which scared others and made Xiaohua feel uncomfortable.
"Why should I help you? Just go back and rest when you're done. I'll take my time with these trees. It won't take much effort!" Xiaohua said as he picked up the shovel again.
Xiaowu didn't say anything polite and just picked up the shovel. Xiaohua had no choice but to let him do it.
The two young men worked hard. Although it was not too hot these days, the sweat of the working people doing physical labor was worthless and dripped into the ground.
"Xiaowu, take a break." Xiaohua called out.
The two of them sat on the edge of the field. Xiaohua brought a thermos filled with warm water when he came.
He opened it, took a big sip and handed it to Xiaowu.
Xiaowu was not polite and raised the thermos to drink.
"Everyone in our village should thank Brother Dahua."
Xiaowu's eyes always sparkle when he speaks.
"I want to thank you too, Brother Xiaohua."
Xiaohua looked at his star-like eyes and felt a lump in her heart.
All the members of Xiaowu's family are good-looking, except Xiaowu. He and his brothers inherited their mother's eyes, which are bright and can speak.
If it weren’t for those damn firecrackers, how much better looking Xiaowu would look right now!
"Nonsense," Xiaohua said, his eyes unfocused as he stared into the distance. "You can thank anyone for this village, but not me. I don't deserve it."
Xiaowu lowered his head and remained silent.
After a while, he turned around and said, "Brother, it's been many years since this happened. It's over. Forget it.
Over the years, you played with me, accompanied me to and from school, and fought for me. You have completely redeemed my sins."
Xiao Hua shook his head: "Can this be redeemed completely? Unless I give you my face!"
"...I don't want your face." Xiao Wu glanced at him, "Everyone in the village says you're ugly, the ugliest among your brothers and sisters."
"You kid!" Xiaohua was amused by him and raised his fist to pretend to hit someone.
The two of them joked around for a while, and then Xiao Wu suddenly became serious and said, "Brother, seriously, forget it. I'm fine now. I went to the steel mill last week."
"Steel mill?"
"Yes, they were recruiting, so I went to ask. They didn't care about my face, but later I was notified that I could go to work." There was a hint of joy on Xiaowu's face.
"That's great! That's great!" Xiaohua seemed very excited. "Then I'll take over Dad's job and go to the steel mill too. We can travel together again!"
He looked into the distance excitedly, and seemed to feel much more relaxed as he breathed.
"My family even arranged a blind date for me."
"...Does the little fish take a fancy to you?" Xiaohua asked cautiously.
As far as Xiaohua knows, his family has arranged several relationships for him, but they all shook their heads as soon as they saw his face.
Unexpectedly, Xiaowu nodded this time.
"Well, finally there's a little mermaid with good taste! Haha!" Xiaohua was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"but……"
"But what?" Xiao Hua was a little nervous.
"That little mermaid... is a little different." Xiao Wu paused, as if thinking about how to express her difference.
"Why is it different?"
"She speaks in a rather honest manner, doesn't beat around the bush, and is clumsy in her actions."
Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his brain...
"I don't think we can have children. Her family is honest and didn't hide anything. They said if I'm willing, we can have a relationship. If not, forget it."
Hearing this, Xiaohua's smile disappeared.
"Would you like that?"
Xiaowu nodded again.
"People don't dislike me, I think that's good."
Xiaohua's heart was instantly gripped. He could have found a beautiful, flexible woman who could bear children!
Because of those damn firecrackers!
Xiaohua pounded his fist into the mud and said angrily, "Don't get engaged to her. Wait a little longer, we'll find someone better. Brother will definitely find one for you!"
"No matter how you look for someone, they have to be willing, right?" Xiao Wu smiled bitterly. "Besides, you don't even have a partner yourself!"
The main reason why Xiaohua is single is that he doesn't want to find one. As long as Xiaowu doesn't get engaged, he feels that he can't get engaged either.
A few matchmakers have said that after all, all the children in the Liang family are doing well. The eldest son is the director of a forestry farm, the second son is the boss of a mahogany factory, the third daughter is a master craftsman in a silk embroidery factory, and even the son-in-law is a doctor.
Which girl wouldn't like a family like this?
Although what Xiaowu said was true, Xiaohua was the least good-looking among his brothers and sisters, but he was about to take over his father's job, which was also quite good.
"I don't have anyone to introduce you to right now, but I still want to advise you: don't be anxious. How old are you? My brother-in-law didn't marry my sister until he was in his twenties!"
"Your brother-in-law is different. He is educated."
"Does culture have anything to do with when you get married?"
“I think so…”
"No! Just listen to me and work first. We'll find a better one later, okay?"
Xiaowu lowered his head to think, and Xiaohua became impatient and stood up to work.
As soon as he stood up, Xiaowu followed closely behind him.
While working, Xiao Wu finally spoke: "Brother, I will go back and discuss this with my family."
Xiaohua nodded, "Okay, we should discuss this with our family, but remember one thing: don't compromise."
"good."
After saying that, the two continued to work. By evening, when all the trees were uprooted, they carried their shovels and went home one after the other.
During dinner in the evening, Xiaohua asked his mother seriously.
"Mom, do you know any unengaged young women?"
Mom was stunned and said, "Didn't you reply? What, have you figured it out?"
Xiaohua shook his head and said, "I'll find it for Xiaowu."
Mom frowned slightly: "This... is a bit difficult... Xiaowu..."
"Is there no mermaid who doesn't care about her appearance?" Xiao Hua put down the bowl in annoyance.
"Hey," Mom patted Xiaohua, "This depends on fate. You can't force it."
