It was completely dark, and the projectionist shouted through the loudspeaker:
” Members, please be quiet, the movie will start soon.”
The crowd, which was noisy like a vegetable market just now, quieted down. The members stared at the curtain, looking forward to the start of the movie.
Tonight’s screening was “Railway War”. The plot of the movie quickly attracted the attention of everyone present, and even the noisy children started watching it obediently.
Seeing everyone watching the movie seriously, Su Yue patted Li Xiaoqing on the shoulder, whispered in her ear: “Sister Xiaoqing, my stomach suddenly hurts, and I want to go back to the toilet.”
Li Xiaoqing: “Then I’ll accompany you. I’m worried about you going alone.”
Su Yue waved her hands quickly, “No, no, I don’t know when I will come back. If my stomach still feels uncomfortable after going to the toilet, I will rest at home and won’t come back. You watch it here. I’ll be fine by myself. The educated youth house is so close. What can happen?”
Li Xiaoqing thought about it. It’s only about ten minutes away. There is indeed no danger. In addition, she was also very attracted by the plot of the movie. She was entranced and didn’t want to interrupt, so she said, “Then be careful.”
” I know, go watch the movie.” Su Yue bent over, trying not to block the view of the people behind her, and quickly got out through the crowd.
Almost everyone went out to watch a movie tonight, so the village was very quiet and no one could be seen. Su Yue ran to the door of the Han family in a swaggering manner.
The Han family’s house was quiet and there were no lights. Su Yue leaned through the crack in the door and looked in. She only saw one room with lights on, which was Han Aiguo’s room.
Sure enough, he is at home.
Su Yue reached out and knocked on the door.
After a moment, a man’s deep voice sounded from inside: “Who?”
Su Yue bit her lip and refused to answer. She refused to tell him and just continued to knock on the door.
Han Aiguo frowned, got up from the bed, opened the door, walked to the door with a kerosene lamp in hand, and asked again through the door, “Who is it?”
She could hear the vigilance in his tone, and she knew If she didn’t answer, the man would probably think she was a criminal, so she had no choice but to say: “I, Su Yue.”
There was suddenly no sound inside the door.
Su Yue knew that he was behind the door, pursed her lips, and went straight to the point, “Do you avoid me all the time?”
” I…” Han Aiguo was stiff and at a loss, “You… …..Why are you here?” , wasn’t there a movie tonight, why didn’t she go see it?.
Su Yue said aggrievedly: “How can I find you if I don’t come over? You always avoid me and don’t see me, and you also don’t allow me to come to you?”
” I… didn’t…” Han Aiguo, he didn’t know how to answer. He was indeed avoiding her, but he didn’t expect her to notice it.
Su Yue snorted softly, feeling even more aggrieved, “Where are you? You are obviously avoiding me. Look, I have already arrived at your door and you still refuse to open the door for me. You just let me stand there in the middle of the night. Outside the door, aren’t you hiding from me?”
Hearing her speak so aggrievedly, Han Aiguo’s heart twitched, but in the end he couldn’t bear to do this just to avoid suspicion.
Opening the door, he didn’t dare to look into Su Yue’s eyes, “Come in.”
Su Yue crossed the threshold, took the kerosene lamp in her hand, and went directly to his room, “I have something to tell you, don’t stand here. The door is inconvenient, let’s go to your room and talk.”
Without giving him a chance to refuse, Su Yue entered his room in three steps, put the kerosene lamp on the table, and then stared at him.
Han Aiguo stood at the door of the room. With her staring at him like this, he felt his whole body froze and his heart was beating fast. He finally managed to make a sound, “Are you…are you okay?”
“Of course you are.” Su Yue still stared at him, “I came here to ask you specifically, why are you always avoiding me?”
Without giving him a chance to deny it, Su Yue continued: “Don’t say you don’t do it . You know it yourself.”
Han Aiguo moved his mouth, but finally said nothing.
When he didn’t speak, Su Yue asked again, “Why are you avoiding me? Tell me your reasons.”
Of course, Han Aiguo couldn’t tell his reasons and could only remain silent.
Su Yue had been so angry with him these past few days that she wanted to give him a small punch, but now seeing him standing there with his head bowed and speechless, she couldn’t help but feel soft.
Taking a few steps forward and walking up to him, Su Yue mustered up all her courage and said: “Brother Han, do you know why I came today? You didn’t want to pay attention to me. Logically speaking, I should have the sense not to show up, but I still came here shamelessly, because I want to tell you something, Brother Han, actually I like you and I want to be with you.”
Han Aiguo finally raised his head, but his eyes weren’t able to believe it and was caught off guard. His heart turned sweet, happy, sour and surprised.
This was the first time in her two lives that Su Yue had confessed to someone. In fact, she was not as fearless and shameless as she appeared on the surface. Her face was also a little hot, and her heart could not help but beat nervously, but at this critical moment How could she back down? She had to take advantage of this opportunity to win him down in one go.
So she asked directly: “Brother Han, do you also like me? That’s why you are avoiding me?”
She hit the correct spot. Han Aiguo’s pupils shrank, his heart beat loudly, and he was surprised for a moment. Finally regaining his composure, he had to deny what she said, “I… No, you misunderstood.”
Su Yue didn’t believe him, “I didn’t misunderstand. How dare you say that you don’t like me? You don’t like me then why were you so anxious when I felt uncomfortable last time? You even hugged me.”
Han Aiguo still shook his head, “No, last time I was worried that you would lose your seat and fall.”
Su Yue: “Is it so that other women feel uncomfortable in front of you, would you hug them too ?”
Han Aiguo was silent.
Seeing that he still refused to admit that he liked her, Su Yue had no choice but to tell about the prescription by system, “Brother Han, you are afraid that your leg injury will not be cured and it will harm me, so you don’t dare to say that you like me, but your leg will be cured. I have already found out about a prescription that can cure your injury. I asked someone from the provincial capital to find out about it. I heard someone once injured his leg just like you and the hospital couldn’t cure it. Then he used that prescription and his leg got cured. This recipe will definitely cure your legs.”
” Brother Han, believe me, your legs will definitely return to normal. ”
Han Aiguo raised his eyebrows and said, “A prescription for treating legs?”
” Yes, this prescription works very well. ”
Su Yue had no choice but to continue making up prescription’s story on the spot, “I also overheard someone talking about it, saying that there were several people with similar leg injuries as you, and they were all cured in the end. I heard that this prescription was made by the hands of an old Chinese medicine doctor, but I haven’t found out where this doctor lives yet. If I find out, he can cure your leg. Don’t worry, Brother Han, we will definitely find out soon. ”
When Su Yue said this, a little hope suddenly rose in Han Aiguo’s originally desolate heart. If he could really find this recipe, maybe his legs could really heal? If his legs returned to normal, then there is no need to push her away against his will.
If it weren’t for his leg injury, even if she didn’t like him, he would still pursue her. What’s more, she actually said she liked him. If his leg wasn’t injured How great would it be.
But… what if he can’t find the old Chinese medicine doctor? What if he finds that prescription, but it doesn’t work on his leg ? Wouldn’t it be a drag on her to be with her selfishly just because of his own hope?
If his legs don’t heal, he won’t be able to do heavy work in the future, and he may not even be able to support his family. As a man, if he can’t even take care of his wife, then what’s the point? What qualifications do you have to like someone or even marry someone? Such an approach will only harm them.
No, he can’t be so selfish.
Thinking like this, Han Aiguo felt his heart tremble in his chest, and his thoughts became firm.
Trembling undetectably, he used up all his strength to speak: “Su Yue, even if I find a prescription, my legs may not be healed. I will be a cripple from now on. I’m not worthy of your love. Don’t waste your time on me. You are a good girl, you shouldn’t find a cripple to take care of you. ”
Su Yue was angry, “What kind of disability! I said your legs can be cured, why do you still say you are disabled! I just like you. I don’t care about your legs. Even if you are disabled, I like you and want to be with you. You can’t drag me down, as long as you like me too. Tell me, do you like me or not? ”
With his eyes burning, Han Aiguo turned his head and did not dare to look at her. He wanted to openly admit his love, wanted to hold the only girl who made his heart beat into his arms, and wanted to marry her home as his wife and cherish her for the rest of his life.
But, no, he couldn’t selfishly ruin a girl’s life.
”Su Yue, I don’t like you. I just treat you like a sister. You will meet a good man to take care of you in the future. ” In the end, Han Aiguo still said this.
Su Yue’s breathing became rough all of a sudden, and she felt sad and angry. She took the initiative to confess her love to him, and even said that there was a prescription that would definitely cure it. He still didn’t believe it, and pushed her away, this man was simply too cruel!
She never wanted to pay attention to him again!
Su Yue stamped her foot and was too angry to pay attention to him, just walked around him and left.
Everything that needed to be said and thought had been said she had tried all the ways, but he still couldn’t let go of his knot. Su Yue felt very powerless and couldn’t think of anything else to say or do.
After her confession was rejected, Su Yue was not in the mood to go back to the brigade headquarters to watch a movie, so she went directly back to the educated youth point, boiled water to wash up, and lay on the bed, quietly thinking about what to do in the future.
Although she was angry that he didn’t accept her confession, she knew that it wasn’t that he didn’t like her, he just didn’t want to because of his leg injury. He didn’t believe that the prescription could cure his leg, and she wanted him to believe it unless she actually showed him the prescription.
At present, the only way is to work hard to earn points and strive to get the prescription as soon as possible.
It seems like she has to cook more delicious food next, but what else can she do? She had done everything she could, and there was no ingredients at all for her to make new meals. She was a typical example of a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
It would be nice if someone could bring her some ingredients. Su Yue fell asleep with such a beautiful wish, but she didn’t expect that the wish came true the next day, and the ingredients were delivered to her door.
At that time, Su Yue was slicing sweet potatoes. There was a long bench with a simple blade device at one end. She sat astride the bench, holding the sweet potato in her hand and rubbing it on the blade, wiping the sweet potato slices into pieces.
Many women are used to doing this job very neatly. They wipe their hands on the blade and the sweet potato slices fall off quickly. But Su Yue couldn’t do it. She was afraid when she saw the blade and always thought it would cut her hand, so she was careful when wiping the blade, but of course it was very slow. She could only wipe one sweet potato when others wiped three sweet potatoes.
”Mom, I caught a fish in the river!” At this moment, a teenage boy with his upper body naked and a black fish in his hand ran over happily and went straight to rub sweet potatoes with Su Yue. He said to He Caihua, “Mom, I caught it while swimming in the water. Let’s eat fish for lunch!”
The brigade party secretary was relatively loose in managing the brigade and did not treat everything in the river as public property. Unlike some brigades that regard the river as public property and do not allow members to touch it, anyone who fishes in it without permission will be regarded as stealing and will be prosecuted.
But this brigade is different. Fish are not deliberately raised in the river. The fish in it are all wild or exotic. The party secretary allows members to go in and touch fish. If they touch the fish, it is considered their own, so the children sometimes touch the fish and will be very excited.
He Caihua looked at the fish her son had caught and was very happy, “I didn’t expect you to catch a fish. I will make fish soup for you tonight. But this fish is so small you won’t have enough meat to eat. ”
The woman next to her comforted her and said: “It’s meat after all. We can’t eat pork, so it’s good to eat some fish.”
He Caihua thought about it, ” That’s right. Although an adult can’t eat two bites of such a small amount of fish, but we can give the children some fish soup to eat.”
Su Yue saw that He Caihua was not so satisfied with the fish, and her heart suddenly moved, and she asked tentatively: “Sister-in-law He, I heard you think this fish is small, then Can you give me this fish? I’ll pay for it to you!”
”Ah?” He Caihua was stunned.
Su Yue: “Sister-in-law He, I really like fish. I’m greedy when I see this fish. If you are willing to give it to me, do you think I can pay fifty cents?”
“Fifty cents?!” Including Lady He, other women were shocked.
Nowadays, even if a man earns ten centimeters for a day’s work, it is only worth 40 cents. Su Yue suddenly spent 50 cents to buy a small fish. In other words, this fish is worth more than a man’s day’s work. Is this possible? Isn’t it shocking?
Is this Su Yue a little stupid? At this moment, everyone is mentally muttering.
He Caihua, who originally wanted to refuse, was so frightened by the fifty cents that she swallowed it down. She asked uncertainly: “Su Yue, are you kidding?”
Su Yue knew that everyone was probably suspecting that she was a fool, but she is really not stupid. She needs fresh ingredients.
In the end, she also made a lot of money selling food. She is definitely willing to spend some money to buy ingredients and earn points.
Without hesitation, Su Yue took out fifty cents from her pocket and showed it to He Caihua, “Sister-in-law, I’m not joking. I really like fish. If you are willing to give it to me, I will give you fifty cents. If there are more in the future, I want all the fish you bring to me.”
Seeing that Su Yue was really not joking and was really willing to spend 50 cents to buy it, He Caihua handed the fish to Su Yue and said, “Then I’ll give you this fish, Su Zhiqing. If my son catches fish again in the future, I will give it to you.”
Su Yue took the fish and gave the fifty cents to He Caihua, as happy as if she had found a treasure.
Su Yue immediately took a leave of absence and sent the fish back to the educated youth house to raise it with water to prevent it from smelling bad.
Everyone looked at Su Yue happily walking away and thought in their hearts: This Su Yue is really a fool.
It is said that fools are easy to deceive, so when women go home, they tell their children: “When you go to the river to play, if you see any fish, you will catch it. Then send it to Su Yue then I will give you money to Buy candies.”
When the children heard that they could make money to buy candies, they were so happy that they rushed to the river to catch fish. From then on, there was a fish catching craze in Hanjia Village.
Of course, this is something.
At this time, Su Yue didn’t know the craze caused by her fish purchase. After work, she couldn’t wait to run back.
She wants to fish!
There happened to be sauerkraut at home, and Su Yue planned to make a sauerkraut fish.
