The walls of this alley are a little damp and covered with moss. Since the moss cannot take root, it cannot grow seedlings, not even grass. As he walked, Ma Wencai guessed the old woman's intention, most likely to propose marriage for Hong Tu. But he didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing. He felt like he was a wall, and Hong Tu's emotions that clung to him were clearly moss that couldn't take root. He felt pitiful and pathetic for Hong Tu's wishful thinking.
At this moment, he stood with his back to the wall, looked at Liu Liuying and said: If you have anything to say, please tell me!
Liu Liuying whispered: I don’t know what kind of magic you have, but it actually made my daughter Hongtu suffer from lovesickness. She is so obsessed with you that she doesn’t even think about food or tea.
No more talk, no more talk. Ma Wencai waved his hand and said it had nothing to do with me. And asked aggressively: Old man, is this why you came to me?
right. Liu Liuying asked: Can you come to my house and see the red tea that is sick for you?
Let me think about it, old man, you go back first and talk about it tomorrow. Ma Wencai turned his face sideways and answered, showing a passive look.
Liu Liuying came on crutches, and Ma Wencai helped her before she started on her way. When she walked out of Xiaguan Village, a short and fat boy came out to help her. She looked at him with some gratitude and asked: Who are you?
Boss lady, don’t you even recognize me? I am Mei Bin who often goes to your donkey meat restaurant to have wine! Mei Bin spoke, still smiling.
Liu Liuying understood as soon as he heard it. He was attentive to her because he had a crush on Hong Tu, but Hong Tu didn't like him. Thinking of this, she pushed him away and said: Xiaomei, I don't need your help, I can walk by myself.
Old man, at your age, the road is uneven. If you don't have a steady foot, it won't be worth the fall! Mei Bin emphasizes a stakes relationship.
Liu Liuying looked at him again and felt that although he was short and unattractive, he had a good heart.
Mei Bin had already discovered that the relationship between Ma Wencai and Hong Tu was not good. He felt that it was a good opportunity for him to win over Hong Tu, so he said to Liu Liuying: Your Hong Tu family is pretty good. Are you worried about being unable to marry such a beautiful girl?
Liu Liuying was silent, staring blankly at the gray and white winding road stretching into the distance under her feet.
Mei Bin continued to tease: Ma Wencai is a scholar, so arrogant, what's so great about him? For him, Hong Tu is not worth the trouble.
Liu Liuying didn't expect that he knew so much about Hong Tu. She hung her crutch like her heart instead of leaning on it on a solid road. She occasionally felt that Mei Bin would become a crutch for his behavior.
In a side room inside the donkey meat restaurant, Hong Tu was lying on the bed, but did not close her eyes and sleep for a while. Her eyes were melancholy, her eyes were filled with tears, and there was a dark circle around her eyelids. It doesn't matter whether she lost weight or she was sick, it was all for Ma Wencai. But Ma Wencai was not interested in her at all, but her unrequited love was exaggerated. She always said that the matchmaker she sent was not doing her job well.
Hearing this, Bao Laizi said to her angrily: Hong Tu, stop thinking nonsense, you and Ma Wencai have no fate, don't force others to make things difficult for you!
There is fate, there is fate. I believe there is fate. Hong Tu, who retorted, covered her face and cried.
This happened a few days ago. Now Hong Tu knows that her mother Liu Liuying has gone to school, and she doesn't know how she proposed the marriage to Ma Wencai. Hong Tu has been waiting for the good news. This wing room had a wall with a window above it. She would open the window from time to time and look towards the road leading to the school, but she could not see her mother returning. Only the breeze blew, which gave her not refreshment, but coolness. Mood. She lay down for a while, then got up and looked out the window.
Suddenly she was pleasantly surprised when she found a young man supporting his mother with a cane on her way home. Isn't that young man Ma Wencai? In order to see it more clearly, she left the bed, gathered her messy hair in front of the mirror, arranged it for a while, then walked out to take a look, and her heart felt cold again. It was not Ma Wencai who was supporting her mother, but some of her Disgusting Mei Bin. She was so angry that she returned to the wing, covered her face and cried.
At this time, Liu Liuying came in with a stick, and Mei Bin was standing by the door. Liu Liuying grabbed the crutch with one hand and stroked Hong Tu's head with the other, saying, "My child, I have been to the school and I also talked about you. Na Ma Wencai was uneasy and said that he should let him think about it."
Hong Tu stopped crying and thought about what her mother said, thinking that Ma Wencai had given her a glimmer of hope. Then he raised his head and looked at Liu Liuying and asked: How long will Ma Wencai have to think about it?
At this moment, Hong Tu discovered Mei Bin eavesdropping outside the door, so he walked over and closed the door heavily.
Liu Liuying said: How do I know how long Ma Wencai has been considering?
Hong Tu whispered: Let dad come to school tomorrow to bring up this matter again and see if Ma Wencai has thought about it.
Liu Liuying said in embarrassment: Hong Tu, my daughter, your figure and appearance are not bad, why do you want to find a lukewarm husband? She thought of Mei Bin who helped her return all the way, and then said: As long as the young man has a good heart and is good to you and our family, that's enough.
Mom - don't talk nonsense. Dad must go to school tomorrow. By the way, he will also bring some fresh donkey meat to comfort Mr. Ma. Hong Tu said stubbornly, as if the Bao family's material love was sure to move Ma Wencai's heart.
The next morning, Bao Laizi rushed to the school with a load of fresh donkey meat, only to see an old man wearing glasses giving a lecture in a sullen voice. After class was over, I asked the old gentleman and he said that Ma Wencai had gone elsewhere and I was teaching the students in his place.
Bao Laizi handed him a load of fresh donkey meat and said, "Do you know where Ma Wencai went to teach?" The old gentleman shook his head and refused to accept the fresh donkey meat, saying that he would not be rewarded for his efforts.
Bao Laizi had no choice but to return, feeling depressed. As soon as he walked out of the school, he met Mei Bin. When Mei Bin saw that he was still carrying the fresh donkey meat in his hand, he understood that he was scolding the poor horse for not showing appreciation for his literary talent. He also said, Uncle Bob, I feel sorry for you! I wish I could go in and beat him up.
Bao Laizi walked up to him and frowned and said: Xiaomei, what's the use of being impulsive? That guy Ma Wencai has left, and now an old gentleman is teaching in the school.
After hearing this, Mei Bin secretly rejoiced because his love rival finally gave up and his pursuit of Hong Tu was finally over. This got him excited, saying that there were so many men in the world, why did Hong Tu fall in love with a poor and ungrateful teacher?
This also touched on Bao Laizi’s pain point, he said yes! But I was very confused and didn't know how to convince my daughter when I went back.
He and Mei Bin were talking as they walked, gradually embarking on the secluded paths with lush grass in the fields. Although the sky was covered with thick clouds, it was still very hot after walking for a while, and sweat was quietly making noise on his forehead. The fresh donkey meat in his hand was no longer fresh. It seemed to have a smell. He smelled it and saw a fly buzzing around it.
He suddenly turned around and said to Mei Bin: I'll give you the donkey meat! Anyway, you have worried a lot about Hong Tu, so thank you. Mei Bin didn't want it at all. It was given to Ma Wencai. If Ma Wencai hadn't left, would I still have this share? Although he felt bad, he still took the donkey meat and put on a smile and said: Thank you, Uncle Bob.
You need to give Uncle Bob an idea on how to persuade Hong Tu. Bao Laizi said with difficulty.
Mei Bin moved his eyes a few times and said that he had an idea, but he couldn't talk about it at this time.
Why can't you talk about it? This confused Bao Laizi. He kept asking, but Mei Bin didn't say anything. The question was urgent and he only answered: Can this be done? If you say it, it won't work. Bao Laizi couldn't help asking again: What should I tell Hong Tu if I go back at this time?
Just say that Ma Wencai is too busy and will come to see you tonight, so just wait in the boudoir! It makes me feel much happier to keep the red tea in this way. Mei Bin cupped his hands and said: "I'll see you tonight, uncle, I will find a solution."
