The two walked forward silently, neither of them spoke, nor did they intend to stop.

Zhang Fangyuan gritted his teeth, regretting secretly, why did he look drunk today even though he hadn't had any alcohol. They were talking nonsense, but they were so happy to see people coming that they lost their minds.

Serious people, who would go to hold someone else's hand without getting married?

Xu He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what to do in his heart. Xu He didn't feel that Meng Lang was the kind of person who came here randomly, he coughed dryly: "I'm actually not..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, and the little finger and ring finger of his right hand were warm and were gently clenched.

Zhang Fangyuan blushed slightly, and his breathing was short for a moment. After he realized it, he quickly backhanded and grabbed Xu He's tentative hand into his own.

Xu He is a tall little brother, but he is still very small in front of him, as if his fingers are clearly long and slender, but Zhang Fangyuan's big palm can still completely cover him.

Both of them fell into silence again, closely feeling the warmth from the touching hands, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and their eyes were softer than the moonlight.

Xu He suddenly asked, "Is it hard to hold my hand?"

"Ah?" Zhang Fangyuan didn't understand, so he said, "Why?"

"I have a lot of calluses on my hands and they are not soft at all."

Hearing this, Zhang Fangyuan touched Xu He's palm lightly with his finger, and the pulp of his finger did scratch a few hard calluses, but the caress made him careless.

"I won't let you do so much work in the future, and you will be fine."

Xu He paused for a moment, then murmured with a smile: "The work is always in our house, can you still take care of our family's affairs?"

Zhang Fangyuan stopped suddenly. Although he didn't want to let go of Xu He's hand, he did so first. He took out a handkerchief from his chest and slowly opened it. The bracelet glowed silver under the moonlight. .

"I came out to you today just to give you this."

He pulled Xu He's right hand and put the bracelet on his wrist.

Xu He felt a warm and cool touch. The cold silver bracelet had been placed on Zhang Fangyuan's chest for an unknown amount of time, and it had already taken on his body temperature. This thing is expensive, it's so big, at least three or four taels, and it's heavy to hang on the wrist, Xu He panicked: "This is too expensive, I can't..."

"This is left by my mother."

Xu He was completely confused: "What do you mean!?"

"I want to go to your house to propose marriage!"

Zhang Fangyuan eagerly said what was in his heart. He held down Xu He's movement to pull out the bracelet, which also interrupted Xu He's refusal.

"..."

"You, you want to marry me?"

Zhang Fangyuan quickly said: "Of course!"

Xu He had mixed feelings for a moment, and suddenly lowered his eyes: "I really want to get married, so choose mine..."

Zhang Fangyuan was a little anxious when he heard the words: "I really want to get married, but I didn't find you because I wanted to get married. It was you who made me want to get married very much."

Xu He didn't speak. Zhang Fangyuan was uneasy: "I, did I explain clearly? Can you understand what I mean?"

"why…"

"I've already held your hand, so naturally I want to marry you!"

What Zhang Fangyuan said was a matter of course.

"Why me." Xu He looked at Zhang Fangyuan: "Is it because I can't marry my second sister?"

"I want to marry you because I like you! I have nothing to do with your second sister." Zhang Fangyuan was angry when he heard such words. Everyone can only see that Xu Shaochun made Xu He become like this, and he had to explain patiently Said: "At first I really wanted to get married as soon as possible, so I asked the matchmaker to talk about marriage, and then I begged to go to Guang's family. Later, I knew that I liked you, so I wanted to find something serious to do, so that I could marry you." home to ask for a kiss."

Xu Hexu was startled, and seemed to be thinking about the authenticity of Zhang Fangyuan's words, so he kept silent.

Zhang Fangyuan's heart was in a mess, silence was more difficult than a blunt refusal: "Am I too anxious to scare you! It's my fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle said that if he likes others, he must let others know his mind. I am too anxious I'm in a hurry..."

Xu He's complexion did not change, but his heart felt warm, and his eyes were full of emotions: "You...why do you like me?" He knew that such a question was too vulgar, but...he was different from others, and he wanted too much Know why.

"I've thought about this too, but I can't figure out why. Maybe I didn't think about it when I first saw you when I arrived at your house."

"It may also be that you told me that the thief wants to take my things, or... when everyone doesn't believe that the Guang family is a thief, you don't need to say anything, but you still defend me..."

Too much, he wiped his own blood, tied his hands... They were like two people in the crowd that no one cared about, and then cared about each other and saw each other.

Zhang Fangyuan answered all Xu He's questions, but his own questions have not been answered for a long time. He was anxious and shook Xu He's hand: "You haven't told me, is it okay? If not, I will You can wait a little longer."

"it is good."

"What did you say?"

"I say yes!"

Xu He was very upset, but he still couldn't help agreeing, so straightforward that even he was astonished.

Zhang Fangyuan laughed, and then began to scratch his ears and complain: "Then I will tell my aunt when I go back, and let her come with me to your house to propose a marriage. Now I know what to buy for a marriage proposal, and soon."

Listening to his ramblings, Xu He felt as if he was looking forward to coming to the door tomorrow. He regained his sanity and hurriedly stopped him: "We need to wait for my second sister's marriage to be settled before we talk about it. Don't worry now."

Zhang Fangyuan knew the situation of the Xu family, and he didn't want to make things difficult for Xu He at home, but he didn't want to wait too long: "Then if your second sister doesn't like her for a long time, won't it also hinder us from getting married."

The word "marriage" fell into Xu He's ears, which made him a little ashamed, but he still forced himself to be calm and said: "The family is optimistic about the Fei family. After the court test, the Fei family will come to make an engagement, and it will take less than two months."

"Your second sister and Fei Lian?"

"Um."

Zhang Fangyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and one sentence solved the two worries in his heart: "Then this is great! I will go back and prepare well. You don't have to worry about anything, just wait at home for me to come and marry you." You'll be fine."

Xu He pursed his lips, as if his whole body was hot, he nodded. Afterwards, he took off the bracelet on his wrist: "I can't take this back with me. Wearing this headband today caused my second sister to complain. If I take it back, it won't fall into my mother's hands."

Zhang Fangyuan held the bracelet: "But it was left to my daughter-in-law by my mother, you have to accept it after all."

"I have already accepted the right today, you keep it first, and give it to me later."

Zhang Fangyuan was satisfied after hearing what he said. He carefully wrapped the bracelet in a handkerchief and took it back. Fortunately, the bracelet was not redeemed in vain: "Then I will give it to you when we get married."

The two returned to silence again, walking slowly and aimlessly, the scent of wild flowers in the evening wind seemed to be more intense.

After a while, Xu He said in a low voice, "I can't come out for too long."

Both of them are reluctant to separate, but this small gathering is not a long-term solution, so they have to be patient, and there will be plenty of time to get together again.

"Okay, I'll take you outside your house."

Xu He refused, because there are many people outside today.

"Then come to me if you have anything to do in the future. When you go to the city, wait for me to take my car by the side of the road. Tell me what you want to buy. I will buy it for you. If anyone bullies you, come and tell me..." Zhang Fang Yuan babbled a lot, then suddenly grabbed Xu He's hand: "Did you hear that?"

Xu He had gotten used to his sometimes silly and domineering appearance, and agreed, "I heard it."

According to Xu He's wishes, Zhang Fangyuan didn't send him too far. When he got out of Haitang Bay, he watched him head towards his home, while he stood there for a long time, like a stone looking at his wife.

Everyone was gone, he was still excited and couldn't help himself, suddenly jumped up high, presumably he was going to toss and turn in bed tonight and couldn't sleep all night.

He circled around in place for a long time before he remembered that it was time to go back. Just as he was about to leave, intermittent voices came into his ears.

"I'll kiss you again, just once."

"Didn't I already kiss you just now?"

"But I still want to kiss..."

Zhang Fangyuan stood in the dark and looked at the two people, one tall and one short, who were hugging and twisting together not far away, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"..."

Can it still be like this?

The smirk on Zhang Fangyuan's face faded away, feeling rather unlucky, he coughed in embarrassment, and made a walking noise with strides, scaring a pair of little mandarin ducks who were entangled together in the distance to leave immediately.

...

Before Xu He went home, he searched for ducks and hurried back. His thoughts were wandering, and he was clearly in a mess. It seemed that the chaos had reached the extreme, causing him to think nothing, and his eyes were dull.

After a long time, when he saw the very bright lights in his house, he felt nervous in his heart. He was afraid that his mother had just returned home, and the second sister would complain about what happened today.

Xu He walked out of his courtyard absent-mindedly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong at home, as if he was too restless, he hurriedly opened the courtyard door and went in, and then locked the latch behind his back, lest the ducks would run out again.

A voice was heard in the room, and he shouted: "Brother He, boil the water quickly! Your father hurt his leg!"

Hearing the bad news suddenly, Xu He hastily dropped the bamboo pole used to chase the ducks, and rushed in with one stride.

Xu Changren, who had been out for more than half a month, had messy hair. He was lying on the wooden plank in the middle hall, his bare foot was swollen, and there was a lot of blood on the floor of the room. Perhaps it was due to excessive blood loss. Xu Changren's face was ashen, and his lips They all turned white.

Liu Xianglan kept teardrops on Xu Changren's wound with a clean cotton cloth.

"How is this going!?"

Xu He hurried forward to help, only then did he know that his father was a helper in another village to build a house for the landlord and fell from a height. The landlord doctor didn't invite him either, he paid his wages hastily, and only asked two men to bring his father back, and blamed him for his bad work.

Now Xu Shaochun has gone to ask for a doctor. There is only one herbal doctor in his village, and his medical skills are very average. He can only cure a little wind and cold on weekdays, but he may not be able to cure it.

Xu He tried his best not to lose his footing, and went to the stove to boil hot water.

Not long after, there was movement in the yard again, Xu Shaochun shouted outside: The herbal doctor is here!

Looking at Xu Changren in the middle hall, the herbal doctor shook his head, seeing the severity of the injury, he was afraid that if he didn't treat properly, he would cause trouble to his upper body.

"I hurt my muscles and bones, and I have to go to the city to ask for a doctor."

"But it's so late, how can I go to the city to ask for it, even if I go by bullock cart!" Liu Xianglan cried while covering her face.

The herbal doctor said: "There is always someone in the village, go borrow it. This old man really can't do anything, his leg will be crippled if he doesn't handle it well, the old man can't do it rashly, he can only stop the bleeding a little."

Liu Xianglan and Xu Shaochun cried together in confusion, wanting to beg the herbal doctor, but they had already made their words very clear.

"Zhang Fangyuan has horses, which are faster than ox carts."

Hearing this, Liu Xianglan stopped crying, and looked back at Xu He with a cold face: "How could he borrow a horse?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xianglan subconsciously turned her eyes to Xu Shaochun, thinking that the boy had been worried about his daughter before, and if he asked her to come forward and say something nice, there might still be some hope: "Shaochun, your father is like this, or…"

Xu Shaochun thought of Zhang Fangyuan's fierce and unscrupulous appearance, subconsciously shrank his head back, bit his lower lip and did not answer.

Although Xu He knew that Zhang Fangyuan would not necessarily agree even if Xu Shaochun came to visit, but seeing his second sister still coy at this time, he felt annoyed: "I'll go."

Liu Xianglan didn't stop him, but Xu Shaochun looked at the person striding away and chased him out: "Brother He, don't promise me anything."

Xu He raised his eyelids: You really think well.
