then.
She saw Brother Lu Zhou's eyebrows jump up and down twice.
Su Erhe didn't care.
The original owner liked Brother Lu Zhou because the Du and Lu families had similar family backgrounds and were on the same level. To put it bluntly, Du Ruoyun and Lu Zhou were childhood sweethearts.
Since she is not Du Ruoyun, the past years were just a dream.
What are you still thinking about after waking up from a dream!
"Sorry to make you laugh."
Su Erhe felt that she had a good attitude and could still laugh at a time like this. She should be called Su Jianqiang.
The corners of Lu Zhou's mouth seemed to move, as if he wanted to say something.
But Du Ruoyun got the upper hand and said, "Su, Erhe, can we talk?"
Su Erhe thought that in this matter, Du Ruoyun should be more unlucky than her. She was originally a rich girl, but she had to farm in the countryside for eighteen years, which was quite unlucky. The fate of the two was miraculously involved together, which was a kind of fate in any way.
Although Du's mother would definitely not like to see her interacting with Du Ruoyun, it shouldn't be a big deal if they just exchanged a few words.
"OK."
Lu Zhou suggested: "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant."
Su Erhe had no objection. There was no other place to stay on the street at that time. There was no teahouse, coffee shop or convenience store. There was nowhere else to go.
So the three of them went to the state-owned restaurant, and Su Erhe followed behind automatically.
Her outfit was quite different from the two people before her, especially since she was only wearing one shoe. When she walked into the restaurant, everyone looked at her. People who could eat in a state-owned restaurant must have some financial resources at home. They had never seen anyone eating with only one shoe, so they all looked at her as a joke.
Although no one was looking at her, Du Ruoyun blushed. She was not an outgoing person and had a soft temper. She felt embarrassed at the moment and still felt uncomfortable even after sitting down. She said to Su Erhe, "Do you want to go buy a pair of shoes first?"
Su Erhe sat down across from her at the square table, placing his bag on his lap. Upon hearing this, he said two words nonchalantly, "No ticket."
Du Ruoyun bit her lip. She knew that the Su family was poor and that they would just patch up broken shoes. They would wear a pair of shoes for several years. She wanted to say something but found herself unable to. Du's mother told her that the Su family was cruel and had deliberately taken away the two wrong children to make her suffer. She felt that she should not sympathize with Su Erhe. The life Su Erhe was living now was exactly the suffering she had experienced before.
Su Erhe just spoke the truth and didn't deliberately cry poor or anything. Instead, she saw Lu Zhou frowning and looking at her.
Just watch it, Su Erhe doesn’t care, it’s already like this anyway.
but……
"Just say whatever you want to say. I still need to go home."
What does it mean to call her to the state-owned restaurant and not say anything?
"You guys talk first, I'll go buy some vegetables."
Lu Zhou stood up and walked to the window. As usual, the dishes served today were written on the small blackboard. Lu Zhou picked three at random and asked for three bowls of rice.
As he was walking back, he heard the two people sitting there start talking.
Du Ruoyun spoke first: "I heard from my mother that the engagement between the Su family and the He family is still in place, and you are going to marry He Zheng."
This was the first time Lu Zhou heard the name He Zheng. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Erhe.
Su Erhe was wearing a blue cloth coat, which was obviously the style of a middle-aged woman. It seemed that it was modified from the coat of an adult in the family. The sleeves were worn white, but her skin was very white, her hair was very black, and her facial features were also superior. Even though she was dressed simply, it could not conceal her beauty.
At this moment, Su Erhe was looking at Du Ruoyun. Thinking that the marriage was originally arranged between her and He Zheng, Su Erhe asked, "Do you care about him a lot? Actually, no one has ever told me why you and He Zheng got engaged in the first place. It seems like there was some agreement between the Su family and the He family?"
Du Ruoyun nodded. "Yes, Mom, I mean, Aunt Su and Aunt Wang Xiu grew up together and came from the same village to Kushui Village. They jokingly said they would marry their children to each other in the future. It just so happened that He Zheng and I were not much different in age, so we got engaged."
Su Erhe understood that it was just like a child marriage. It didn't mean that the two people had to love each other. It was the parents of both sides who had this intention. Besides, in the 1970s, there were not so many people who were in love with each other. They just met twice and the parents made the decision.
"Then, you like..."
"The food is here." Lu Zhou brought the food over.
Su Erhe was forced to interrupt his words. The food was served and everyone started eating. Su Erhe couldn't find a suitable opportunity to continue the previous topic.
She really wanted to ask Du Ruoyun if she liked He Zheng.
But he also felt that this topic was actually meaningless. Du's mother had come to Ku Shui Village and humiliated them and He Zheng severely with her condescending attitude.
In other words, Du's mother would never let her daughter be with He Zheng.
So, what does He Zheng do to her?
Is it because of the marriage contract between the two families that he is relying on her?
Su Erhe frowned in confusion. You see, emotional problems are indeed the most troublesome, especially this kind of messy entanglement.
"Eat chicken hearts."
Su Erhe lowered her head to eat. Lu Zhou's voice was so gentle, as if it was right next to her ear. Her body reacted before her brain. The hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and she pushed the bowl away a little, waiting for the chicken heart to be put into her bowl. This was her and Lu Zhou's eating habit.
However, this time, the chicken heart did not reach her bowl.
Lu Zhou picked up the chicken heart and gave it to Du Ruoyun who was sitting opposite her.
Du Ruoyun whispered thank you, glanced at Lu Zhou, and her cheeks turned red.
Su Erhe suddenly laughed at himself.
What the hell, have you never eaten chicken heart or something?
Have you forgotten who you are?
You are too self-indulgent!
That's right, Lu Zhou is such a gentle person, the original owner fell in love with him easily, but he never said that he liked her.
Now Lu Zhou gives this tenderness to the real Du Ruoyun. Who knows if he treats other girls the same way.
This meal is so boring.
Su Erhe finished the rice in a few bites and put down his chopsticks. "I'm full. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Taking the bag from his legs, Suerhe stood up and took two steps.
"Sulhe?"
A familiar voice came. Before he could see which direction the person came from, a tall figure approached. He Zheng first looked at her, then at the table next to her. He didn't know Lu Zhou, but he did know Du Ruoyun. His eyes paused for a moment, and Du Ruoyun had already stood up, "Brother He Zheng."
"Long time no see."
"Yes," Du Ruoyun clenched her hands nervously and lowered her head. When she looked up, she was disappointed to find that He Zheng had no longer looked at her.
"Is the matter done? When will you go home?" He Zheng looked at Su Erhe.
"I'm leaving now."
Su Erhe walked around He Zheng and took two steps to the side. His arm was pulled again. "What's wrong?"
"Where are your shoes?" He Zheng frowned, his eyes falling on her right foot wearing socks.
Su Erhe also looked down and said nonchalantly, "It's broken."
"You're just going barefoot when it breaks? Don't you mind the dirt? Or the cold?"
He Zheng's tone was not good, it sounded fierce.
Su Erhe almost said, "It's none of your business."
He Zheng quickly took off the two green rubber shoes on his feet and said, "Wear mine."
Su Erhe stared at the two shoes without moving.
Whether she wanted to admit it or not, at this moment, looking at He Zheng's feet wearing only socks stepping on the ground, she was moved.
Others would just laugh at her for not having shoes and for being poor.
Only He Zheng...
"You..." He Zheng thought she was unwilling, and said anxiously, "It's not smelly or dirty. I just brushed and dried it yesterday."
He was so anxious that he squatted down and grabbed Suerhe's feet.
