The incident in which Li Dazhui bowed his head and apologized to Wang Yue'e while holding a chicken was the biggest event in Shangshui Village in the past six months.
At noon that day, everyone was finishing work and preparing to go home. Li Dazhu was carrying a three-pound old hen and collided head-on with people who were going home after work.
Everyone stared at him strangely, then at the flapping hen in his hand, and asked him where he was going.
"Go and apologize to Comrade Wang Yue'e."
"Apologize? To Wang Yue'e?"
Li Dazhu nodded, and everyone found it incredible.
The feud between Li Dazhu and Wang Yue'e has a long history. He has never given in every time. Although he has restrained himself a lot recently, he still quarrels with her from time to time.
This apology is simply like the sun rising from the west.
But the sun still rose from the east, and Li Dazhu went to apologize to Wang Yue'e.
He was still smiling, without any resentment on his face.
No one went home and followed Li Dazhu to see how he would apologize to Wang Yue'e.
Wang Yue'e was not seriously injured, but she lost face and rolled into a puddle with a plop. When she was pulled up, her hair was covered in mud.
Wang Yue'e, looking embarrassed, was so angry that she wanted to fight with Li Dazhu on the spot, but she was still being held back.
Wang Yue'e cursed with all the harsh and dirty words she could think of, and she cursed all the way.
That morning, Wang Yue'e did not go to work. I heard that she cursed in the yard all morning. When she went to work in the afternoon, she talked about this and that for a long time.
He was also scolding Li Dazhu, but Li Dazhu did not go to work that day.
Wang Yue'e had no choice but to scold Li Sanqiang again and again, but Li Sanqiang remained silent.
Now, the image of the Li family father and son has been completely reversed.
Wang Yue'e's image as a shrew became more and more popular. People began to say behind her back: "Wang Yue'e went a bit too far this time. Li Dazhu didn't do it on purpose.
Why can't she be more forgiving? Look at how she scolded him. Li Sanqiang almost buried his head in the ground."
"That's right, you said Li Dazhu is different from before."
"Yeah, what kind of temper was that before? He would start cursing if he didn't agree with anything. It's amazing that Li Sanqiang managed to change him."
"I've said it before, Li Sanqiang was a three-gun man who couldn't even make a fart, so how come his son was like a firecracker? Now he's fine, grown up, and calm."
So many people were standing at the door, watching Li Dazhu apologize to Wang Yue'e in his heart. Wang Yue'e originally wanted to curse a few more times, but the villagers pleaded for him.
"Forget it, Yue'e. Dazhu didn't mean it. He's come to apologize and even brought his old mother with him. Just forgive this young man."
"Yeah, even without looking at the three guns, you have to give this old hen some respect."
Wang Yue'e's eyes were shining at the old hen. After hearing this, she took over the old mother and said with a smile:
"Well, since the villagers are pleading for you, I won't make a fuss about it. We have had many unpleasant experiences in the past. For example, I paid for the treatment of my leg injury myself.
Today I will take your chicken, and the past will be written off."
Wang Yue'e was injured by a wild boar trap and always said that it was Li Dazhu who did it, but in the end there was no evidence and nothing happened after the fuss.
Now, if it weren't for the villagers' persuasion, this chicken really wouldn't be enough to calm Wang Yue'e down.
She was a person who cared a lot about face. She felt that everyone was watching today, and Li Dazhu had given in to her in public, which was considered a great honor for her.
She said a few words to him indifferently, but Li Dazhu kept his head down and smiled as he admitted his mistakes. His attitude was very nice.
She really couldn't pursue the matter any further, so she just let it go.
The crowd dispersed and Li Dazhu also left.
Li Dazhu kept smiling until he walked to a corner where no one was around. Then the smile gradually faded away, and one corner of his mouth twitched into a sarcastic smile.
When I went to work in the afternoon, Mu Ruanruan happened to go out to school.
She had no classes in the morning, so she slept in at home and didn't get up until noon. After having lunch, she took her books and other teaching aids to school.
It was her second class in the afternoon and she was not in a hurry. She lingered at home for a while and it was almost two o'clock when she left.
The villagers also start their afternoon work at this time.
The fields in the village are widely distributed, some are in the village, some are at the entrance of the village, and some are opposite the school.
The way Mu Ruanruan went to school was exactly the opposite of a group of people, and Li Dazhu was among them.
"Sister Ruan Ruan."
She heard Li Dazhu calling her from a distance.
In the past, when she lived in his house, he called her Sister Ruan Ruan, but later, when she expressed her unhappiness several times, he followed everyone else in calling her Teacher Mu.
Not only Mu Ruanruan was not used to being called "Sister Ruanruan", but even the villagers who worked with him were not used to it. They all turned their heads and stared at him.
Although I was not used to it, I was not very surprised because it was not my first time.
Everyone's eyes were more of scrutiny.
Everyone's face showed more anticipation for gossip.
After all, Li Dazhu and Mu Ruanruan were not close, and now that he suddenly called her, there must be something going on.
Li Dazhu seemed not to see their gazes, and ran to Mu Ruanruan and called out again: "Sister Ruanruan, go to class."
Mu Ruanruan could only nod awkwardly without stopping.
"Wait a minute, Sister Ruan Ruan, I have something to tell you."
Now, Mu Ruanruan had no choice but to stop.
Everyone surrounded the two of them and looked at them with smiles.
She really wanted to yell at Li Dazhu's face, telling him not to call her that, as she felt disgusted.
But her character didn't allow her to do so, so she could only wait quietly to see what he wanted to act out.
"Sister Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry."
"ah?"
Mu Ruanruan was a little confused by his sudden apology.
This Li Dazhu must be crazy, suddenly apologizing to her.
But Mu Ruanruan immediately realized that he was clearing himself.
"What happened last time was my fault, and you deserve to scold me, but I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. Sister Ruan Ruan, can you forgive me?"
Sure enough, Li Dazhu did not explain clearly what happened, but just apologized vaguely.
In everyone's opinion, Li Dazhu's sincerity was enough. Even Wang Yue'e could forgive him. If Mu Ruanruan continued to act in a pretentious manner, she would be in trouble.
But if Mu Ruanruan said forgiveness this time, he would take the opportunity to say that they could be friends or something.
That means she has to agree that he can appear in front of her openly in the future. If she shows impatience again, then it will be her problem.
Mu Ruanruan didn't want to, she couldn't possibly forgive him.
Seeing that Mu Ruanruan didn't say anything, Li Dazhu showed some guilt on his face.
He then said, "Sister Ruan Ruan, you still won't forgive me?"
Mu Ruanruan had lowered her head, but now she looked up at him and said, "Brother Dazhu, are you referring to the photo?"
Li Dazhu was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect Mu Ruanruan to mention this matter in public.
"If you want me to forgive you, you should return the photo to me."
