From the rural love, many children and good fortune

The countryside at night is quiet and charming. The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its light over the fields. The chirping of insects in the grass sounds like a gentle melody. Smoke rises from the chimneys of the farmhouses.

Wang Xiangxiu prepared the meal, brought it to the table, and poured a glass of wine for Wang Changgui.

Wang Xiangxiu looked absent-minded while eating.

Wang Changgui asked, "Girl, what's going on?"

Wang Xiangxiu sighed softly and said, "Dad, college students are different. Li Tian and Xie Yongqiang are different wherever they stand, especially Li Tian, ​​who has ideas and is enterprising."

Wang Changgui frowned, "My daughter, Li Tian is excellent, but too excellent for us to reach. Dad thinks Xie Yongqiang is good, he is down-to-earth and steady, and a good match for our family."

Wang Xiangxiu blushed: "Dad, what are you talking about!"

Wang Changgui put down his wine glass and said seriously, "Xiangxiu, Dad is doing this for your own good. Li Tian is too outstanding, we can't be his match. Xie Yongqiang is so real, Dad is relieved that you are with him."

Wang Xiangxiu said coquettishly: "Dad, please don't talk nonsense, I just think Li Tian is excellent."

Wang Changgui said, "My daughter, listen to your father's advice. Don't think about Li Tian anymore. Think more about Xie Yongqiang."

Wang Xiangxiu waved her hands quickly: "Oh, Dad, it's too early to talk about this now. I haven't even started dating them yet."

At this moment, a few sharp dog barkings suddenly came from outside the window. The sound tore the silence of the night and seemed particularly abrupt in the empty countryside.

Wang Changgui put down his wine glass and said, "My daughter, no matter what, Dad is afraid that you will be wronged. Xie Yongqiang is more suitable for you."

Wang Xiangxiu lowered her head and muttered softly, "Dad, I know."

After dinner, Wang Xiangxiu cleaned up the dishes.

She walked into the yard, looked up at the bright moon, and her thoughts became more and more confused.

After a while, Wang Xiangxiu returned to the room and saw Wang Changgui sitting on the kang smoking. Amid the smoke, his expression looked a little solemn.

Wang Xiangxiu asked softly, "Dad, are you still worried about me?"

Wang Changgui flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "My daughter, Dad just wants you to have a good life and not go down the wrong path."

Wang Xiangxiu walked over to Wang Changgui, took his arm and said, "Dad, don't worry too much. I know what's going on."

Wang Changgui sighed: "Oh, I hope so."

Wang Xiangxiu hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Dad, tell me the truth, do you have any feelings for Aunt Big Foot?"

Wang Changgui was stunned by this sudden question and almost dropped the cigarette in his hand.

He stammered, "Girl, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Wang Xiangxiu looked at him seriously: "Dad, I've seen it all, please don't hide it from me."

Wang Changgui lowered his head helplessly, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "Dad does think that Big Foot is a good person, but...but things are not that simple."

Wang Xiangxiu sat next to Wang Changgui and said, "Dad, if you really like Aunt Big Foot, let's not hide it and be open about it."

Wang Changgui shook his head: "How can it be that easy? She and Li Fu are still getting divorced. Besides, Li Tian is back, so there's no hope."

Wang Xiangxiu asked in confusion: "Dad, what does this have to do with Li Tian? Does Li Tian care about his uncle and aunt's marriage?"

Wang Changgui looked at his daughter and said with a wry smile, "My daughter, have you forgotten what kind of personality Li Tian has? It's okay to provoke him, but you can't provoke Li Fu and Xie Da Jiao, they are his weak points."

Wang Xiangxiu frowned and asked in confusion: "Dad, I still don't quite understand why Li Tian protects them so much?"

Wang Changgui flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Li Tian was raised by Li Fu and Xie Da Jiao. Li Tian will remember who treats him well for the rest of his life."

Wang Changgui went on to say, “You don’t know, Zhang San, the prisoner at the east end of the village, once got drunk and molested Xie Da Jiao. Li Tian, ​​who was only twelve years old at the time, chased Zhang San around the village with a kitchen knife and chopped him. That ferociousness scared Zhang San to death. Since then, no one in the village dared to mess with them anymore.”

Wang Xiangxiu listened attentively and couldn't help but say, "Li Tian, ​​you really value friendship."

Wang Changgui nodded: "Yes, so this matter is difficult for me to handle. If I offend Li Tian, ​​it will be fine. But if I offend Li Fu and Xie Da Jiao, it will be terrible."

Wang Xiangxiu comforted him, "Dad, maybe things are not as bad as you think. Maybe Li Tian won't care."

Wang Changgui sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, just let it go. You should worry more about your own business."

Wang Xiangxiu responded: "Dad, I understand."

The room became quiet, with only the cigarette butt flickering in the darkness.

As the night deepened, Wang Xiangxiu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The next day, Wang Xiangxiu got up with dark circles under her eyes. Wang Changgui looked at her and shook his head.

Wang Changgui and his daughter Wang Xiangxiu had a simple breakfast and went out.

Today, the village organized a voluntary tree planting activity of great significance.

Wang Changgui and Wang Xiangxiu arrived at the meeting place early in the morning.

During the tree planting process, Wang Xiangxiu and Li Tian were coincidentally assigned to the same group.

They arrived at the designated area, and Li Tian picked up a shovel and started digging the hole without saying a word, his movements were skilled and powerful.

Wang Xiangxiu was not to be outdone, and hurried to help straighten the sapling and prepare to put it into the pit.

Li Tian looked up at Wang Xiangxiu and said with a smile: "Xiangxiu, you have to hold it steady. This sapling depends on you."

Wang Xiangxiu was amused by his relaxed tone and responded, "Don't worry, Brother Li Tian."

When their eyes met, Wang Xiangxiu's face instantly flushed and she quickly lowered her head.

After the pit was dug, they carefully placed the sapling into the pit. Li Tian began to fill the soil while Wang Xiangxiu took a bucket to fetch water.

Li Tian filled the soil, and Wang Xiangxiu came back panting, carrying a full bucket of water.

"Brother Li Tian, ​​please give me a hand, the water is too heavy." Wang Xiangxiu shouted.

Li Tian quickly took the bucket and slowly watered the saplings.

After watering, the two of them used their feet to compact the surrounding soil.

Li Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Wang Xiangxiu and said, "Xiangxiu, thanks to your help today, otherwise I can't handle it alone."

Wang Xiangxiu raised her head, met Li Tian's gaze, and said with a smile: "Brother Li Tian, ​​you are too polite. We are all doing this for the village."

The sunlight shines on them, reflecting their youthful and energetic figures.

Wang Changgui watched from afar and couldn't help feeling a little worried. He wanted his daughter to be happy, but he was also afraid that she would get hurt in her relationship.

After the activity, everyone was exhausted, panting and sweating.

Wang Xiangxiu was about to go home when Li Tian stopped her and took out a bottle of soda from the box next to her.

He took a few quick steps to pass it to her and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Xiangxiu."

Wang Xiangxiu was a little surprised and stunned for a moment, then took the soda.

She blushed and said, "Thank you, Brother Tian, ​​you have worked hard too."

Wang Xiangxiu held the bottle of water tightly, feeling her heart beating like a deer, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
