Good luck every time

(The previous chapter has been modified)

Xiaoman's face was twitching, and she wiped it to smooth out her helpless expression.

Sun Xiaohua didn't care about that. She glanced at Li Shiwu and walked quickly towards the door.

When Li Shiwu heard the noise, he quickly made way for the people.

The three of them walked out one after another. Li Shiliu walked at the end and looked at Li Shiwu with strange eyes.

Li Shiwu scratched his head and turned away from looking at him.

After everyone had left, A Cai sighed and stood up.

Li Shiwu was very alert at this moment. He turned around when he heard the noise and looked at A Cai lowering her head. In a trance, it seemed as if his dream overlapped for a moment.

"what do you want to say?"

Ah Cai's voice was faint, not loud, and a little hoarse, as if he had not yet fully recovered.

Li Shiwu's restless movements stopped and he became unconcealable in his restraint.

"Well, I...I...I have a lot to say to you. Why don't you just go ahead and do your work, and I'll talk to you when you're done."

A Cai shook her head.

"Not busy anymore!"

Li Shiwu looked past her and at the fire in the stove behind her. He saw that the wood was burning vigorously and estimated that he would not need to add more firewood for a while, so he scratched his hands nervously.

"Then let's go out and talk!"

Ah Cai nodded slightly.

"it is good!"

The two of them went out one after the other, and A Cai took Li Shiwu to the yard where sugar was being boiled.

Few people come here, and she would come here if she wanted to find a place to stay for a while.

It seemed that Li Shiwu was entering Acai's secret world for the first time.

He saw the chair that Acai had left for him here, with a mat woven from corn leaves on it. He also saw the flowers that Acai had grown here. They were not rare species, but wild flowers that could be found everywhere in the mountains. Because it was warmer in the house, they were blooming sparsely.

Li Shiwu felt his heart soften.

The two of them sat where Acai and Li Ruyi usually sat.

She asked Li Shiwu to sit down and waited in silence for what was to come.

Li Shiwu looked at her a little flustered.

After waiting for a while, A Cai spoke nervously.

"No one usually comes here, so you can say what you want to say!"

Her hands trembled slightly, but she tried to remain calm.

Li Shiwu was eager to go home before he came back, but when he sat here, he didn't know where to start.

He hesitated for a moment, reached into his arms and fumbled around, and finally pulled out a hairpin.

The hairpin looks rustic, but it is made of solid silver.

Li Shiwu had been saving up for a long time to get this silver hairpin.

A Cai raised her head in confusion and looked at Li Shiwu with panic in her eyes.

"You...what do you mean?"

Li Shiwu scratched his head.

"I am... Sister Acai, I want to marry you! Are you willing?"

After hearing this, A Cai was so scared that she stood up.

"What did you say?"

Seeing her big reaction, Li Shiwu also stood up, holding the silver hairpin tightly in his hand.

"I said I want to marry you! I've been thinking a lot these days, and my family wants to find me a date, but I...I, I have you in my heart, and I want to marry you!"

Ah Cai was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly and even knocked over his chair.

Her mind was blank, with no sadness or joy, only a sense of unknown confusion.

Li Shiwu is not Li Shiliu. Before he realized the problem, he chased after him for two steps and tried to pull Acai, but Acai dodged him by raising his hand.

Her reaction was so intense that Li Shiwu couldn't understand it at all.

"Sister Acai, it doesn't matter if you don't like me... I..."

A Cai flashed out of the door. She stood in the familiar environment, but her heart was still restless.

She was proposed to.

But she was not happy at all.

She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, which was very flat and had never bred any life. It seemed that it would never be able to brood a life in this lifetime.

She didn't understand why Li Shiwu said such things when he knew all this.

Are you sympathizing with her?

A Cai took two deep breaths, turned around and looked at Li Shiwu who was chasing after her.

"You don't have to pity me, you should live your life well!"

Li Shiwu couldn't see that behind Ah Cai's forced calmness was panic and anxiety.

He mistakenly thought that Acai didn't like him.

"I'm sorry! I was so abrupt!"

Ah Cai's lips trembled twice, but he couldn't utter a word.

What could she say?

Nothing you say is right!

In the end, she could only turn around and leave resolutely.

Looking at her back, Li Shiwu was flustered for a moment, but the next moment, he chased after her two steps.

The two were almost at the door connecting the two courtyards. Li Shiwu didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing others and affecting A Cai.

He could only lower his voice and speak firmly.

"Sister Acai, I hope you will think about it carefully. I don't want to give up."

Acai walked faster.

In sync with her footsteps, her equally panicked heartbeat was in sync.

She had so many things to ask, but she couldn't say a single word.

Li Shiwu's gift was not given away, and although he was a little frustrated, he had actually prepared himself for Acai's rejection, so he was able to accept it calmly.

After saying all this, Li Shiwu returned home. His mother was still waiting for him anxiously. When she saw him come back, she hurriedly asked him about his affairs.

"How was the journey? Did you feel tired?"

Li Shiwu shook his head and didn't see Li Er.

"What about twenty? I didn't see him just now!"

His mother said perfunctorily.

"What else can I do? I'm going for a ride on my horse!"

After saying that, he quickly asked Li Shiwu.

"Fifteen, what do you think about it?"

Li Shiwu was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized what his mother asked him to consider.

He stopped and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Mother, I..."

His mother stood beside him, watching his expression intently, totally unable to understand why he was hesitating.

Does this child have a hidden disease? Does he not want to marry?

"what happened to you?"

Li Shiwu looked at his mother's eyes which were filled with concern and confusion, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I have someone in my heart. I don't want to marry someone else, nor do I want to delay someone else's girl."

He can't be thinking about one person while keeping another by his side, right? ?

His mother's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this.

She was shocked, it turned out that there was someone in his heart!

It’s okay to have someone in your heart, as long as you’re not mentally ill.

"Who is it? Which girl?"

Li Shiwu shook his head.

"Mom, she hasn't agreed yet!"

When it came to not agreeing, his mother became embarrassed again.

Although the Li family had been living well in recent years, she was not so arrogant as to think that her son could choose any girl in the village.

However, she also has her own plans.

"This... are you being too rash? Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. If you go and talk about it yourself, it will be neither serious nor decent. Look, mother, I have to talk about this matter."

"Your eighth aunt is also a very eloquent person, and she is very kind-hearted. Mother will ask her to be a matchmaker and help you to mediate!"

Li Shiwu thought about it and shook his head.

"Mom, this matter still needs her own consent. I will tell you when we really get married. You can ask a matchmaker to come to your house then."

His mother frowned in disapproval.

"What kind of talk is that? If you discuss this in private, it would be like a private transaction. If it gets out, it will be a lie! I think we still need her parents to agree to this matter. It doesn't matter who she marries. After she marries, we will treat her well. Isn't that better than anything else?"

Li Shiwu now began to doubt his mother's brain.

When his grandmother said this, she probably already knew who he had in his heart.

But his mother is still stupid!

"She has no parents, so she can decide her own marriage."

Li Shiwu's words made his mother confused for a moment.

"Is there a girl without a father or a mother in our village? Or did you meet her in another village?"

"It doesn't matter if you have no parents. When the matchmaker comes, it will be a clear path. Our family is more serious, so it will sound better for you to find her in the future."

Li Shiwu took a deep breath.

"Mom, don't worry about this matter. I'll tell you when I'm sure."

Li Shiwu didn't want to tell his mother A Cai about the matter, but he didn't dare.

He was afraid that his mother would look for Acai.

Right now, there is no sign of anything happening. Even if I say something, it won't get through to Acai.

His mother finally realized that something was wrong. Seeing Li Shiwu was about to go back to his room, she followed him and asked.

"Why don't you care? I'm doing this for your own good. You're already twenty years old, and you don't have a clue. You refuse to go when someone asks you to date someone, and you say you have someone in your heart but you don't say who it is."

"You don't know your temper, how can you coax a little girl..."

"If you had half the ability of your sixteenth brother, mother would be relieved! You don't have it, right?"

Li Shiwu: ...

"Mom! Sixteen has her own way of living, and I have my own way of living. We are no longer the same!"

His mother didn't understand what Li Shiwu meant, and chased him a few more steps until she was locked outside the door.

Li Shiwu squatted in the room and waited for a long time. Only when there was no movement outside did he quietly come out.

He quickly ran to the main house, looked around, and knocked gently on the door.

The old couple who had just laid down sighed together.

Old Mrs. Li said.

"It's certainly not twenty."

Old man Li got up resigned to his fate, putting on his clothes while comforting himself.

"That's great. They'll knock on the door!"

It’s much better than hanging around in front of someone’s window late at night.

Old Mrs. Li turned over, yawned, and got up.

Seeing that the person who came in was Li Shiwu, Mrs. Li sighed again.

Being old and experienced, she could tell at a glance that Li Shiwu had figured it out. She could even see from which direction Li Shiwu had figured it out!

After all, if you agree to meet her, there is no need to come over and talk to her. Just find a place to cry by yourself for a while!

really……

"Grandpa, grandma..."

Li Shiwu felt a little restrained. He didn't know what the consequences of his next words would be.

Old Mrs. Li sat there wrapped in a quilt, swaying like a tumbler.

Old man Li lit the oil lamp, and the newly lit flame flickered slightly, just like Li Shiwu's uneasy mood at the moment.

He thought that the only people in his family who could support him were Li Er and his grandparents.

Li Er didn't need to say anything. As long as Li Ruyi opened his mouth, he would charge into battle.

In Li Shiwu's opinion, his grandparents were the kind of people who never got angry over trivial matters and were very easy to talk to.

Old Mrs. Li didn't keep the topic in suspense and asked directly.
