Chapter 236 Village Life (10)
Hearing her say that, Li Weisheng smiled happily, his confidence increased greatly, and he secretly encouraged himself to work hard.
Han Zhibai and Chen Youmao were also happy for him and said words of encouragement.
While they were still chatting, Xia Qingyue went into the kitchen alone.
Li Weikang stood beside the counter, holding a knife in his hand. On the chopping board were some cut cabbages. He stared blankly into the air.
Behind her, Xia Qingyue's eyes turned slightly, and she tentatively said a person's name: "Yu Rou."
The next second, there was a clang, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground. Li Weikang turned around abruptly. He didn't see the scene in front of him clearly, and quickly said three words, "Miss Qian!"
Li Weisheng and others at the door heard the noise and were about to look back, but Han Zhibai drew their attention back and continued chatting.
in the kitchen.
Seeing Li Weikang's reaction, Xia Qingyue's mind was as clear as a mirror and she was sure of everything.
"Sister, sister." There was a flash of disappointment in Li Weikang's eyes, and his suddenly red face showed a bit of embarrassment and nervousness.
She walked forward and glanced back at the few people who were still chatting and laughing at the door. Seeing that they did not come in, she walked towards Li Weikan with a serious expression.
"Brother, what do you think of Yu Rou?"
Li Weikang opened his mouth slightly. He was stunned for a moment, then frankly admitted: "Yes, I like Yurou. I don't know when it started, but I think of her all the time. I miss her when I can't see her, and I feel very happy when I see her."
He raised his finger and pointed at his heart, smiling and saying, "It's beating really fast here."
"Last time you were talking in the kitchen about organizing people to go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs, I became interested in getting involved.
Even if it means just being able to stay by her side, no matter what the outcome, I am willing and feel that everything is enough!"
She could see the determination he showed when he said this.
She said: "Yu Rou has a tragic fate, but she is a very good girl. She has great ambitions, cares about the world, and has no sentimental feelings."
His eyes showed heartache. "I know everything. After I confirmed my feelings, I was very sure that I must not cause trouble to her because of my feelings. I want to hide it well and stay not far from her. I just want to see her back."
Xia Qingyue pursed her lips and was silent for a while. Then she opened her mouth faintly:
"Yu Rou has been through so many things. Her heart is not as bright and intact as it appears on the surface. In fact, her heart is full of holes and she has long been dead. If she hadn't had a belief to support her, she might have committed suicide long ago.
You go to her and hide your feelings for her, just giving without asking for anything in return. If this continues for a long time, how long do you think you can last?
One day, when she is upset or overwhelmed, and she may have gotten used to having you around her, you can gently withdraw from her, but have you ever thought that your action is like another solid blow to her body?
This blow was like the straw that broke the camel's back, and it was hard to predict whether he would live or die."
"No, no, I won't!" Li Weikan retorted, his expression even more determined than before.
Xia Qingyue saw it all, but did not slow down her tone. She suddenly remembered the story Han Zhibai told her when he confessed to her: Loving someone is like growing flowers.
She told this story to Li Weikan.
That’s all she had to say. As for what Li Weikang would think or do, she was powerless to change or stop it.
Everyone has their own choices and ways of living, and it is not wise to interfere too much.
Li Weikang opened his mouth to say something, but Li Weisheng and the others came in, so he closed his mouth and held it in.
Xia Qingyue bent down to pick up the kitchen knife that had fallen on the ground, put it on the counter, and looked at Li Weikan deeply.
Seeing that the vegetables on the chopping board were barely touched, Li Weisheng said, "Hey, brother, what's wrong with you? You haven't finished chopping two heads of cabbage yet."
He pushed Li Weikang with his body and said, "Are you tired? Go sit down and take a rest. I'll do the cutting."
"I'm a little tired, Sheng'er, you guys make lunch and I'll wash the dishes after you're done." Li Weisheng strode out of the kitchen.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You look a little strange. Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Youmao walked slowly with a limp and wanted to catch up to him to see what was going on.
Xia Qingyue said: "Third brother, eldest brother is fine."
Chen Youmao didn't chase him anymore.
Several people worked together in the kitchen to prepare lunch and put the food on the table. Chen Yuzhen, Li Benfu and Chen Dawei, who were working in the fields, came back, washed their hands and came to eat.
The family ate happily.
The sun came out outside. Xia Qingyue, Chen Yuzhen and Fang Xiaoyu picked up some dishes, took their bowls and went to sit in the yard to eat, while basking in the sun.
After the meal, Li Weikang collected the dishes and asked Han Zhibai, Li Weisheng and Chen Youmao to take a rest while he cleaned up the mess.
After walking around in the yard for a while to digest the food, Chen Yuzhen led Xia Qingyue and Han Zhibai to a locked room, took out a key from her clothes, and opened the door.
The three of them walked in one after the other.
"Hey, aren't these the betrothal gifts?" Xia Qingyue took a look and found that except for a few cages of chickens, ducks and rabbits, everything else was there.
Han Zhibai also found it strange.
Chen Yuzhen said with a smile: "When you go up the mountain later, put them all on Xiao Hei. If there is not enough space, you can load them next time."
"By the way, the chickens, ducks and rabbits are kept in the pen in the backyard. I'll go catch them now."
She moved to leave but was stopped by Xia Qingyue, "Aunt, these are the betrothal gifts from Zhibai, what's wrong?"
"It's enough to receive the kindness, good children, you can take the betrothal gifts back. Your little family has just started, and it's not easy everywhere."
Xia Qingyue was a little anxious.
Han Zhibai said, "Aunt, there are fields on the mountain where we grow vegetables and grains, and we raise all kinds of poultry. We don't lack anything else. Most of these things are dead. If you can use them, that's their greatest value. If we take them back, they will just take up space and we won't be able to use them."
"Yes, Zhibai is right!"
Those words made Chen Yuzhen feel warm in her heart and her eyes moist.
"Aunt, didn't we agree last time in our new house that we shouldn't be so clearly divided among our family members?"
Xia Qingyue was talking about the conversation the two of them had in the room last night about the dowry.
"The dowry you prepared for me is not just the things in the wooden box, but also the house and furniture, and your love for me, which is immeasurable." She spoke with a tearful tone.
"I have accepted the dowry and your love for me. Will you accept it too?"
"Qingyue!" Chen Yuzhen burst into tears and hugged Xia Qingyue emotionally.
In the end, Chen Yuzhen compromised and also insisted on some things.
The compromise was to take in all the chickens, ducks, and rabbits, and half of the other food and daily necessities.
He insisted on taking the silver and the remaining half of the food and daily necessities, refusing to accept them no matter what. He called Li Benfu and others to put the things into the iron basket next to Xiao Hei.
Xia Qingyue and Han Zhibai had no choice but to do this.
After everything was done, they said goodbye to the Li and Fang families.
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. Xia Qingyue held Chen Yuzhen's hand and said, "We will go down the mountain to sell honey in a few days. We should stay at the foot of the mountain for a few days."
"Good good."
