Huo family.
Huo Minggui was sitting at the desk writing a book when Granny Liu pushed the door open and came in.
"Grandma, I've told you a thousand times to knock on the door before coming in next time. What if I'm naked in there and you see me?" Huo Minggui said dissatisfiedly.
Granny Liu didn't take it seriously, "Have the bruises on your butt gone?"
"not yet."
Huo Minggui answered without hesitation, but he immediately felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, Granny Liu said, "There's a scholar outside, he said he's looking for you, go meet him."
"What's your name?" Huo Minggui put down his brush and stood up to ask.
"What's called Bai Shu?"
Huo Minggui invited Bai Shu to sit down in the dining hall, which also served as the guest room and kitchen, and asked, "Want to read a storybook so late at night?"
Bai Shu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Huo Minggui, don't go to the compound from now on. If someone sees you, you'll cause gossip."
"I'm not the only man in the compound." Huo Minggui said.
Bai Shu said, "The three of us will move out of the compound tomorrow."
"What else?"
Bai Shu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Youfu, he has nothing to do with it."
It makes sense, but I don't think it's right.
Huo Minggui said, "Whether it's a large compound or somewhere else in Dongshan, they are all long-term workers, and the work is divided into men and women. They are not from wealthy families, so who has time to gossip?"
"Isn't this just an excuse because you can't stand me?"
Bai Shu's face was stern. "My elder sister and Miss Xiaoyi Yunying are still unmarried. Even if they are not from wealthy families, what's wrong with paying attention to their reputation?"
"How about asking your sister to marry me?" Huo Minggui said after taking a sip of water.
Bai Shu was a little angry, "Can you just talk about marriage casually? You really don't take me seriously!"
"Hey, young man from the Bai family, don't be angry!" Grandma Liu came in from outside with a smile.
After eavesdropping for a long time, Granny Liu finally found a chance to come out.
After entering the room, he took out a bag of pastries from the cupboard, opened it and placed it on the table, and said gently.
"This kid has been like this since he was young. Although he looks unruly, he is definitely a serious person."
Bai Shu was angry and didn't want to give a good look.
Grandma Liu dragged a stool over, sat down and talked to Bai Shu.
"Our two families are face to face, so let's not talk about those roundabout ways. I promise that as long as Miss Liu marries, she will be the head of the family, and everything for me will be arranged by her."
"It's such a small place, what's the point of being the head of the family?" Huo Minggui said nonchalantly, "Besides, I haven't finished my mourning period yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Minggui cried out in pain, quickly stood up and said, "Why did you step on my foot!"
"Stop talking nonsense and shut up!" Grandma Liu scolded.
When she looked at Bai Shu, her expression turned into a smile again.
"Miss Liu is able to work as a manager in Dongshan because of her ability. She can work if she wants to in the future. Even if she doesn't work, this boy can still be supported."
"You are Xiaoxue's younger brother. When we become a family, we can live together and have fun all day long. That will be great."
Bai Shu was somewhat helpless. "Grandma, I'm not here to say these things. I can't make the decision on my sister's marriage. I just hope that Mr. Huo will respect himself in the future and not cause gossip about my sister again."
"Xiaobai, don't worry. With grandma here, this kid will definitely behave himself," Grandma Liu said in a kind tone.
"Please pass on what I said to Miss Liu. If she has any requests, please let her know. If we can satisfy them, we will definitely find a way to satisfy them."
Bai Shu thanked him, bowed and left.
After everyone left, Granny Liu was still standing at the door, watching, and said with emotion, "This is what a scholar looks like."
After saying that, he turned around to look at Huo Minggui who was rubbing his feet and sighed heavily.
The next morning, just after daybreak, Liu Xue got up alone and prepared to chop pig food.
"Other managers don't work, why do you do more than others?" Huo Minggui said, and climbed over the wall.
Liu Xue looked at the open door, speechless.
"You got up so early just to climb over the wall?" Liu Xue asked.
Huo Minggui took out a stack of papers from his arms with a smile, "I haven't slept yet, so I just finished the manuscript and brought it to you to see."
Liu Xue took it and looked at it. There were eight big words clearly written on it. Unfortunately, she knew them all.
"The love story of the pig farmer?"
Huo Minggui looked proud, "This is the story I wrote with you as the protagonist."
"I don't really want to see it." Liu Xue resisted a little.
"Why?"
Liu Xue raised her head and looked at him, "Did Bai Shu come to find you?"
"I came yesterday."
"You forgot about it today?"
Huo Minggui stretched out his body and said, "I'm sending you a storybook."
Just at this time, Liu Youfu also came over.
"Manager Liu, what are you doing?"
Huo Minggui pulled the person over, gestured and said, "How about this? Now it's not private anymore."
Liu Xue put the manuscript away and said, "I'll have Xiaoshu send it to you after I finish reading it."
"Can't we watch it now?" Huo Minggui asked.
"I still have to work."
Huo Minggui thought about it, said "oh", and stretched out his hand, "You work, and I'll read to you, how about that?"
"Okay, then you have to speak louder." Liu Youfu said happily.
Huo Minggui patted Liu Youfu on the back and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Da Sheng."
It was not yet dawn, so Huo Minggui found a stool, sat inside the pig farm, and began to read.
Liu Xue was chopping pig food and Liu Youfu was fetching water, and the two of them became fascinated as they listened.
The story of the pig-farming girl is not long and can be read in just a few moments.
