The next day, Dahua went to Director Zhao's house to return the clothes.
Director Zhao had gone to work, leaving Zhao Xiaojuan and her mother, Sun Qin, alone at home. Sun Qin was still very welcoming when she saw Dahua coming, inviting him to sit at her house, making tea and bringing him oranges.
"Aunt, don't bother. I'm leaving now." Dahua handed over the clothes and prepared to leave.
Sun Qin, however, insisted on keeping him for a cup of tea before leaving, in fact, she also wanted to see this young man again. After Dahua left last time, Sun Qin saw that Xiaojuan and the old man both liked this young man. In fact, she was satisfied with him just by looking at him. However, she guessed that his family conditions were not very good, and she felt a little hesitant. After all, the old man was the director of the county, and he couldn't just find a son-in-law casually.
So she wanted to talk more. After all, Xiaojuan was old. If Dahua's family was not too poor, the young couple could live a good life with the help of the old man.
Dahua was forced to sit down by Sun Qin, but he was still thinking about going to work in the team, and his heart was as anxious as ants crawling. Sun Qin slowly peeled an orange for him, and Dahua quickly took it with both hands.
"Dahua, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-one."
Oh, Sun Qin felt anxious. Xiaojuan is actually 23 years old this year, two years older than him!
As they were talking, Zhao Xiaojuan emerged from the inner room. Dahua noticed something was different about her today. She was wearing a new, thin cotton-padded jacket, and her hair was neatly braided, the scent of sesame oil wafting from her braids.
"Dahua, you're here." Sun Xiaojuan smiled a little embarrassedly and sat down next to her mother with a red face.
Sun Qin was puzzled. We've been together so many times but you haven't shown any interest in me. Now you're dressing up.
I have to say that sometimes when fate comes, it cannot be stopped.
As long as her daughter likes it, Sun Qin is willing to do it. However, she still thinks in her heart: She can't be too poor. If she is too poor, she can't get married!
"Well, Xiaojuan, are you going out?" Dahua meant: Xiaojuan, are you going out after dressing up so beautifully?
Obviously, Zhao Xiaojuan and Sun Qin were both smart people. They immediately realized that Dahua was praising her. Xiaojuan's face turned even redder, and Sun Qin also laughed very interestingly.
Dahua's mind exploded. Even a simple man like him had figured out the situation. He was certain that Zhao Xiaojuan was definitely interested in him.
His heart felt like it had suddenly been struck by a spark, a spot on it burning intensely, as if a hole had been drilled through it. His body felt like it was enveloped by the river water of that day, but the water wasn't ice-cold, but warm, leaving him floating in the air, bewildered.
"Dahua, our Xiaojuan is 23 years old. Do you think she is too old?"
Sun Qin asked bluntly.
Dahua came to his senses and quickly replied, "Not big, not big at all!"
Xiaojuan looked at his silly look and burst out laughing. It seemed that he also meant that, so she felt relieved.
Seeing that the two were interested in each other, Sun Qin left with the excuse of going to feed the pigs, leaving the two of them in the house drinking tea. Of course, the door was wide open.
The two people sat in the room without saying a word. The air was so quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop.
In the end, Xiaojuan spoke first. She took another orange and gave it to Dahua, saying, "Have another orange."
Dahua took the orange shyly, his palms sweating. He was not in a hurry to eat the orange, but passed it from one hand to the other, back and forth non-stop. The orange fell to the ground with a glitch, and both of them bent down to pick it up, and their heads bumped into each other.
"Does it hurt?" Dahua asked, touching his head.
Xiaojuan shook her head. She didn't have a headache, but her heart was pounding. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked, "Are you going to work today?"
She regretted it the moment she asked. Wasn't this driving him away? She didn't want Dahua to leave right away.
"Yes, I have to go. It's getting late. If I go back now, I'll be in time for dinner and can still work all afternoon."
After hesitating for a while, Dahua stood up. Xiaojuan also stood up, stammering that she had something to say.
"that……"
"You talk, I'm listening, I'll leave after you finish speaking."
Xiaojuan clutched the corners of her clothes with both hands and didn't dare to look at him. It took a long time before she uttered a word.
"We're showing a movie the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come and watch it?"
"have a look!"
Xiaojuan covered her mouth and smiled, "Come to my house to see me at 7 o'clock the day after tomorrow."
Dahua nodded happily.
In the afternoon, when he returned to work at the team, Dahua seemed to have endless energy. After harvesting the rice, he had to turn over the land. He worked hard with the rake. Whenever he thought of Sun Xiaojuan's blushing face, he would feel angry.
Dinner was fried pork slices with garlic, vegetables and rice. It happened every night these days, and Dahua ate it especially deliciously.
Remembering that he was going to Xiaojuan's house to watch a movie the day after tomorrow, he must talk to his parents about this first. After thinking for a long time, Dahua finally spoke.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to say."
"What's the matter? Tell me now. Why are you hesitating?" Qiu Zhen also remembered that she had something to tell Dahua, so she continued, "I also have something to tell you. Someone told me about a little mermaid today, and I think it's okay."
"Mom, please listen to me first."
Qiu Zhen still didn't notice anything different about Dahua. She thought there was no rush and decided to listen to what her son had to say first.
"You tell me."
"I'm going out the day after tomorrow night."
"night?"
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but feel strange. Father and Qiu Hua also looked at him. Da Hua was not like Er Hua who was always hanging around outside. He never went out at night.
"Well... I went to Director Zhao's house today to return some clothes. And Xiaojuan, Director Zhao's daughter, asked me to go to their place to watch an outdoor movie the day after tomorrow."
Dahua's voice became softer and softer, but the whole family still heard it clearly.
It seems that Director Zhao's daughter Yu and Dahua are in love with each other. After a brief moment of joy, Qiu Zhen's heart is filled with endless worries.
"You guys are... I'm afraid this won't work, right?"
Dahua looked up at her, a little hurt on his face, and asked, "Why not? I'll be back after I'm done. I'm already a grown-up, how can I not see you?"
"That's not what I'm talking about," Qiu Zhen said weakly. "We can watch a movie, but I'm saying you're probably not going to make it. Our two families aren't a good match. He's an official, and look at us, we're so poor we barely have enough to eat. If someone comes to our house and sees this beam, they'll probably shake their heads."
"Mom, we don't have anything here yet. We're just watching a movie. They didn't say they were going to see the beams!"
Dahua said this, but his mother's words had already entered his heart. He went from being excited just now to a period of calmness. His mother's words were like a basin of cold water, but none of them were wrong.
"Okay, okay, go ahead. It's okay to watch a movie. It's dark at night, so be careful where you walk."
