Ma Youtie takes Guiying with him wherever he goes.
The two of them went to buy wheat seeds. Cao Guiying peed his pants again, and everyone pointed at the excitement and gossiped.
Ma Youtie turned a deaf ear and picked up Guiying and put her on the donkey cart.
It aroused a burst of envy and jealousy from other women, saying that Youtie really loved his woman.
A man once said: "My own woman feels her own pain."
Yes, his own woman hurts herself. Since marrying Ma Youtie, Guiying has tasted the feeling of being hurt by others.
She also began to feel sorry for this man.
Although life is still poor, at least there is hope.
He had her, and she had him, two people in distress, keeping each other warm.
They watched the chicks hatched from ten eggs at home gradually grow up, and everything seemed to have hope.
The swallows make their home under the eaves, just like them. Only with each other can we truly have a home.
Ma Youtie continued to make bricks. Such a big job made his arms sore. He couldn't help but reach out and beat his arms at night.
Guiying saw it and stretched out her hand to squeeze his arm. She distressedly asked him to take it easy tomorrow.
There was thunder outside and it was going to rain. Ma Youtie turned over on the wheel, because if it rained, all the adobe bricks he had made these days would be in vain.
They quickly went out and covered the bricks with plastic bags, but the wind was so strong that the bags were blown away.
The rain was pouring down, and Guiying couldn't help crying when she saw the adobe bricks being soaked by the rain.
Ma Youtie quickly put it on her, but she was still crying: "Leave me alone, protect the soil embryo."
The ground was slippery in the rain, and Ma Youtie fell. Guiying went to help him, but he also fell.
But the distance between the two seemed to have suddenly become closer, laughing and crying in the rain.
When the rain stopped, Ma Youtie asked with concern: "You don't have a cold, do you?"
Guiying's answer was heartbreaking: "I'm not that weak. I used to sleep in a shack in the backyard of my brother's house. I'm used to windy and rainy weather. It's okay!"
Guiying's trembling hands skillfully knitted a straw donkey.
Ma Youtie sighed: "A donkey made of straw is good. If it doesn't eat grass, it won't be manipulated."
"The first time I came to your third brother's house, I remember that he beat the donkey. My sister-in-law was afraid that I would wet my pants, so she urged me to pee if you didn't want me to. I saw you feeling sorry for the donkey in the backyard and feeding it. Baogu, this donkey, this donkey has a better life than me."
Ma Youtie wiped the tears that couldn't help but overflow from the corners of his eyes.
Guiying looked at him and said, "I think you are a good person and I can follow you!"
Ma Youtie also said: "You stared at me that day, which made me so embarrassed that I couldn't even look at it."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At night, in the hot summer, they slept on the roof. Ma Youtie really took his belt and tied Guiying's trousers, saying to prevent you from rolling off the roof in the middle of the night.
They began to chat about what others had said about their love, and then the two of them fell asleep with a sweet smile.
Together they built their own house out of adobe bricks.
Go burn paper money at night and tell your parents.
On the way home, Ma Youtie said: "There used to be a madman in our village. He muttered a few words every day. What could he say to the sickle and wheat? What could he say to the sparrows that pecked it? What? What can wheat say to a mill? What can wheat say to being treated as a seed?"
Guiying said: "I have heard of this too. There is also a madman in our village who likes to say this!"
Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying both gave buns to that madman and said something, and now they understand the meaning of what he said.
As spring passed and summer came, Ma Youtie was called for a blood draw for the third time. Zhang Yongfu's son gave Cao Guiying a thin piece of clothing and said it was hot in summer.
Seeing this, many people feel that although the Yongfu family in this picture is not a thing, it seems to be a little more humane than Ma Youtie's third brother's family and Guiying's brother's family.
Even if it's not much, at least there's still a little bit, just a little bit.
It’s extremely ironic!
The wheat that the two men planted together has grown into ears, and the harvest is about to be abundant. Their joint work has yielded results.
However, this was also the first time that Ma Youtie got angry, just because Guiying was too weak to hand over a few bundles of wheat.
He pushed Guiying for the first time, but he regretted it the next moment.
But he wasn't the kind of person who could talk well, and he didn't know how to coax her.
He just said: "You go and sit in the car. I'll lighten the front of the car. You go up and press the front of the car. Don't be angry."
He also pulled out a wheat core and handed it to her, but Guiying looked at the wheat core in a daze.
When they got home, they sifted wheat together, sat on the edge of the wheat stalks, and watched a bag of seeds produce more than a dozen bags of wheat. Ma Youtie was extremely happy in his heart.
He took Guiying's arm, arranged a few grains of wheat in the shape of a flower, and pressed it hard on her arm.
At this moment, a plum blossom mark bloomed on Guiying's arm.
"I planted a flower for you and marked it so you won't lose it wherever you go."
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
This romance didn't cost a penny or say a word, but it was so beautiful and touching.
Guiying's back felt itchy while threshing wheat, so Ma Youtie took Guiying to the ditch to take a bath and rubbed her back. This is the rare close contact between the two of them so far in the movie. It's clear that they're getting closer.
They finally finished repairing their new house and it was time to move out.
When he arrived at his new home, he still put the word "happy" on it as soon as possible.
This is their unique and only sense of ritual.
On the first night of moving into the new house, Guiying also printed a flower with wheat on the iron hand.
Youtie knew that Guiying loved to watch TV, and promised to buy Guiying a color TV set to watch at home after harvesting grain in the fall.
He also said that he would take Guiying to the city to see a doctor.
After hearing Youtie's words, Guiying's best smile broke out on her face.
Her heart is warm, love means distress, distress for your experience, distress for your suffering, and wanting to give you everything you have and what you want.
He is not the kind of person who can talk, but he is willing to give Guiying everything he can.
Ma Youtie's third brother came, bringing only some leftovers from his son's wedding banquet, and said he would apply for a house for Ma Youtie, and that he would pay for it.
But Ma Youtie refused.
But, is his brother really that good?
The audience didn't have any hopes for this, and that's true.
Applying for a house is just another way of taking advantage of them.
When he went to get the land rent, the other party paid him back in corn. Ma Youtie took 160 kilograms of corn less as payment for two coats.
The other party agreed without saying a word.
Seeing this, the little bit of human touch from before disappeared without a trace.
Throughout the film, it seems that it is only at this time that the evil of human nature begins to be truly revealed.
The third brother used Ma Youtie's identity to apply for a building in the city for his son.
Sure enough, it didn't go beyond everyone's expectations. He has been a vampire for his entire life and has never received any benefits. How could he change just by asking?
Everything is just to squeeze out the last value of the old donkey Ma Youtie.
When the news interviewed Ma Youtie and Guiying, they seemed very uncomfortable. Ma Youtie wondered where his donkey, chicken, and pig would live. The third brother just said that the kitchen is a bit small.
The policy is a good policy, but for people like Ma Youtie, it is just his blood sucked by people like his third brother.
And what did he get?
Just a little scraps.
