The moon was above the willow branches when Liang Genlin finally walked out of the prince's house.
As we walked along, we found that most of the houses were dark and those who did heavy work went to bed early.
He walked along, humming little tunes all the way. After a satisfying meal and giving the younger generation a lot of life advice, he felt very satisfied.
His singing startled the big yellow dog in the next yard. The dog excitedly climbed up the wall, and its barking pierced the darkness.
"Get out! Scream! I'll stew you tomorrow!"
After seeing Liang Genlin off, the family could finally start cleaning up the dishes.
"Don't wash it, it's so late. Put it in the tub and wash it tomorrow morning."
Liang Genfa drank some wine with them, and his mind was a little confused at the moment. He just wanted to go to bed early.
Qiu Zhen rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully, "What kind of weather is this? It's gone bad after being left out overnight. Go to bed, you lazy bastard!"
At this moment, Qiuhua was coaxing Xiaohua and Chunhua, while Dahua was helping his mother to fetch water and wash dishes.
The bucket for drawing water was not big, and Dahua could lift it up in a few seconds. Every time he lifted it to the wellhead, the bottom of the wooden bucket would hit the well ring, and the cold well water would slosh out and rush onto his feet.
He thought that he could skip the step of washing his feet.
"Did you understand what Uncle said just now?"
Mom squatted beside and washed the dishes. After thinking for a long time, she finally asked.
"Yeah." Dahua responded, then added after thinking about it, "I don't want to."
"Well water is cold, don't use it to wash your feet. You'll get arthritis when you get old."
After the first cleaning, Mom lifted one side of the wooden basin and poured out the dirty water from the other side. Dahua poured the prepared well water into the basin again.
"Dahua, you're not a child anymore. Xiaojuan's matter..."
"I know."
When Zhao Xiaojuan was mentioned, Dahua's heart still trembled. He looked up at the night sky and sighed softly, which was still heard by his mother.
"Mom, I know it's impossible for me and Xiaojuan." He took a deep breath, his throat feeling dry and rough. The work in the brick factory was indeed not easy.
“But I don’t want a spicy one.”
Mom nodded. We were all from the same village. Not to mention asking her to be a daughter-in-law, even if she was a fellow villager, she would be disliked.
There's nothing we can do about it, our reputation is just too bad.
"I'm not asking you to consider her, I just want to ask if you are still thinking about Xiaojuan in your heart. You and her are not destined to be together.
It's also because Mom and Dad don't have the ability to get married, so please don't blame us."
“Crash—”
A bucket of water rushed to Dahua's feet. He stepped on his feet under the flow of water and felt that the spaces between his toes were washed clean.
"No matter how hard life was at home, I never complained!"
That's true. You know your own child well. Apart from Qiuhua, Dahua has the best character. But this child has a soft personality. If he marries a virtuous mistress, he will live with a good temper. If he marries a domineering one, he will probably be a coward for the rest of his life.
This is also the main reason why Qiu Zhen looks down on Dalazi.
"The uncle's words today were obviously from Da Lazi. It seems she's in a hurry. Since you don't mean that, you should explain it to her as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings.
Otherwise, it would ruin the reputation of both families and be a sin!"
"Okay, I'll explain it to her tomorrow."
Dahua slept uneasily that night, thinking about how to talk to Dalazi tomorrow.
Similarly, Dalazi couldn't sleep well, and was thinking about how to talk to Dahua tomorrow.
In the morning, Dahua got up early as usual and left without eating. He thought that he must not meet Da Lazi at this time, lest he say something bad and he would not be able to work properly all day.
Let’s talk about it after work!
When Da Lazi entered the brick factory, everyone who saw her turned their backs and laughed at her, but she didn't care.
Today's spicy hotpot is so different. How should I put it? It's so eye-catching!
Originally there was only a rat tail, but today it was split into two and tied into two very thin braids. It seemed that some fashionable stuff was smeared on the face, making it look particularly white, as if it had been brushed with white water.
"Hey, Big Lazi is so cute today!" Only the shorty is the one who gets scolded by Big Lazi every day.
Da Lazi was in a particularly good mood today and glanced at him without paying any attention.
When Dahua saw her appearance, he felt a little uncomfortable. He was only focused on washing the rice while steaming it and didn't even look up.
"I'll wait for you to leave together after work."
Upon hearing this, Da Lazi was so happy that he almost fell to the ground with his lunch box.
"Okay, okay, I'll... wait for you." Her tone became increasingly coy, and she added at the end, "Don't forget!"
Da Lazi was out of shape the whole day. As soon as he got off work, he disappeared like a weasel running through the grass on the mountain.
When Dahua came out of the factory, Dalazi was already waiting at the door. Unlike Dahua who was covered in dust and dirt, Dalazi had washed his face at some point and it looked very clean.
"Let's go."
Dahua called out, and Dalazi immediately responded and followed.
The two of them walked slowly and didn't know how to start. Da Lazi kept clutching the corners of his clothes with both hands, and it looked like he was about to make holes in them.
"that……"
Dahua spoke first, but he actually hadn't thought about what to say next. After two words, the air was quiet again.
"Brother, let me speak first, and you just listen."
Dalazi couldn't hold it in any longer and thought that instead of listening to Dahua saying things he didn't want to hear, it would be better to take the initiative. Maybe Dahua would think what he said made sense and accept it!
I have to say that what Xiao Niangyu thought seemed to make sense, but can matters of the heart be judged based on whether they make sense or not?
What you said makes sense, so I should accept it?
What you said doesn't make sense, so I should refuse?
If all love affairs in the world were so logical, there wouldn't be so many unhappy couples.
"Brother, look, we are from the same village and know each other well. I don't mind your family's thin beams, and you don't mind me splashing water.
I have my reasons for being so kind, but I'm good to my family, and I want to be good to you too...
I’m not some delicate little mermaid. I don’t mind a little hardship. Look, I’m big, strong enough to work, and I can give birth to children…”
"How come your little harem, who hasn't even been married yet, is talking about this?"
Da Lazi really doesn't consider himself an outsider!
"What are you afraid of? It's not something that's hard to say. There's always this trip, right?"
"Don't say anything, just listen to me first, I don't..."
"I haven't finished speaking yet, listen to me first!"
Dalazi has a loud and clear voice, and Dahua really can't beat her. Well, let's wait for her to finish.
"You know what I mean, right? I want a definite answer today. The two of us..."
"Ahem." Dahua coughed twice, then said clearly but quietly, "No, I don't plan to marry you.
I asked you to go with me today just to make things clear with you. I don’t want you to think too much, otherwise it will be bad for both families.
Especially since you're a mermaid, your reputation is very important!"
Dalazi's face turned pale and blue. She thought Dahua might be unwilling, but she didn't expect him to be so direct!
