Chapter 5 Section five

After listening to his father Fan Chenxiang's instruction, Fan Xiaojin felt a little flustered after being surprised.Although she has known Cheng Shaobo and Cheng Shaozhong brothers since she was a child, she has practiced with them in the Yanqi River on many summer evenings and fought water fights. , but after all, the brothers of the Cheng family have been in Beijing for more than ten years, and they haven't seen each other again.Furthermore, I lost my mother when I was young. Although I have lived with my two stepmothers, they are not my own flesh and blood after all. I am used to being independent on weekdays. I suddenly married into a rich family. There will be a lot of talking and not being free, and she has to be a little afraid of difficulties. The most important thing is the absolute privacy of her boudoir-the son and daughter of the long-term worker Niu Yuchun have been having an affair for more than a year. The indulgence in the meadow by the river coincides with the lingering love, how can it be said to stop?Not to mention that brother Niu Yuchun was going to be sad, even she couldn't bear it from the bottom of her heart - she had originally planned to find a chance to explain the matter to her father in two years, and begged him to help them.Looking at it now, there is absolutely no such possibility, because from the words her father told her, she clearly understood his father's scheme to get her into the Cheng family. Based on her usual understanding of her father, her father's plan was well thought out. Yes, and any plan he has thought through is beyond ten bulls.Therefore, she can only obey his will, be a filial daughter, and cannot say "no" halfway, because it is useless to say.In this way, she could only obey her father's order and betray her brother Niu Yuchun, who had pledged to each other.Of course, the harm this would cause to Brother Niu Yuchun is self-evident. She could fully imagine how shocked Brother Niu Yuchun was when he heard the news.Moreover, she also guessed the question that brother Niu Yuchun would ask her—do you agree?So what should I do... Is our eachother worthless... Is our relationship over like this... These question marks will embarrass her and make her speechless, but she must bite the bullet and go face.This is really impossible, who made her befriend him?Who let her have such a helpless father again?Who let fate arrange it like this?These were all things that she could not blame, and things that she could not control. Therefore, her heart was very flustered, and she completely lost her previous assertiveness when encountering big things and small things.

Later, she lay down on the kang and cried, fearing that Sanniang (she referred to her father's third aunt as Sanniang) would see or hear her. Arrived. "Hey, my eldest lady, the happy event is here, and you are not happy, why are you crying instead?" Sanniang Ma Lanhua entered Fan Xiaojin's room at some point, and asked in a tone of voice, "Are you reluctant to part with this home...?"— —She originally wanted to say something about this family, but she didn't say it.Fan Xiaojin knew that her Sanniang also had thoughts for Niu Yuchun, and she was usually jealous of her relationship with Niu Yuchun, but it was not easy to make a fuss because she didn't grasp the clues, and she didn't say anything about the half-sentence that Sanniang had just said. She also fully understands the content, but she doesn't want to fight back head-on, so as not to provoke idleness.

"Forget it! Forget it! Men's colleges should get married, and female colleges should get married. This is human nature. The Cheng family will give the dowry tomorrow. You, you have to prepare as you should. After the dowry is done, it's just a door Just pass through the door." After Ma Lanhua said this, she turned around and wanted to leave, but she said another sentence at the door: "Your mother died early, at this time, Sanniang will have to say a few more words, don't be unhappy Listen! The Cheng family is a respectable family, not a servant of cats and dogs, don't make a mistake!" After speaking, he turned and walked away.

Fan Xiaojin lay on the kang for a while, then got up and walked to the medicine garden. The medicine garden is just outside the wall of his house, and Niu Yuchun, a long-term worker, is pouring water to stimulate the seedlings of the rejuvenated medicine fields in the medicine garden.At this time, he was standing on the well platform, with his cotton-padded jacket open, showing his well-developed chest muscles, and shaking the pulley. The thick well rope was orderly wrapped around the pulley and twisted the willows round and round while he was shaking vigorously. The woven water bucket was steadily lifted up the well, and he gently pulled and pushed the full bucket of water like squeezing an eggshell, and the water poured out of the bucket and poured into the medicine field along the canal.In Fan Xiaojin's eyes, Niu Yuchun's movements are so graceful and masculine, she sees them in her eyes and loves them in her heart.So, I couldn't bear to go up to tell him my troubles, so I stood under an old willow tree not far from him and watched him quietly.

After a while, Niu Yuchun still found Fan Xiaojin and waved her over. Fan Xiaojin knew that avoiding it was not an option, so she walked over bravely. "You seem to have cried?" Niu Yuchun immediately noticed something wrong with Fan Xiaojin's expression. "I have cried." Fan Xiaojin admitted unequivocally, "I asked you to cry together."
