Chapter 7: Looking

Start from the beginning
                                    

He Xiaoyun followed his gaze. Not far away, there was a young girl that seems twenty-four with two big braids. The young men and women all look the same as her.

He Xiaoyun remembered that were the educated youths from the city. The teacher Zhang in Wei Jianhua's mouth is a private teacher from the commune's elementary school. The current private teacher here has the same meaning as a 'substitute teacher' in the future.

Coincidentally, this Zhang Yurong was once Wei Jianwei's blind date.

Speaking of this, Wei Jianwei was 28 this year. Four years ago, his age was already old for men in the countryside so Wang Chunhua arbitrarily gave him a match, and that was Zhang Yurong, an educated youth.

Although the educated youths are from the city, there's no way and no hope that they can return to the city sooner. So many educated youths choose to marry locally.

Although Wei Jianwei was born in the countryside, he was already promoted in the army and his conditions are fairly good.

The thing here is, there exists the original owner, He Xiaoyun. She is about the same age as Zhang Yurong and even looked better than her. She has always been the target of the team's young men to pursue.

But after Zhang Yurong came, people compared the two of them and said that Yurong was way nicer and literate than her. He Xiaoyun took this as a provocation and opposed Zhang Yurong whenever they met.

When others introduced Zhang Yurong to Wei Jianwei, The He family was also preparing to introduce him to the original. When the original saw this, she became uneasy, that's why later, she pretended to fall into the water and relied on Wei Jianwei to rescue her.

After Wei Jianhua said that, not only did the atmosphere improve, it became stranger. He then added, "Ms. Zhang taught me for a year. She plays the violin very well and is patient..."

Seeing no one speaking, he became silent. After bowing his head and taking a bite on the meat, he remembered the entanglement between his second brother, his second sister-in-law, and teacher Zhang.

Wei Jianhua closed his eyes and wished to slap himself on the cheeks several times. How could he forget about this!

Indeed, you shouldn't open your mouth carelessly!

If his second sister-in-law quarreled with his second brother because of this, he won't be able to forgive himself.

He Xiaoyun didn't feel anything regarding Wei Jianhua's words, she wasn't the original owner anyway, why would she care about that?

Moreover, as far as she knew, Wei Jianwei and Zhang Yurong has nothing to do with each other.

Seeing that Wei Jianhua was still upset, she simply stood up, "I'm going to the river to wash my hands. You two eat slowly."

As soon as she walked away, Wei Jianhua put the meat on his bowl to his second brother. "Brother, eat more."

Wei Jianwei didn't say a word, he still ate his share of food.

Seeing him not saying a word, Wei Jianhua became frustrated and had no choice but to continue giving Wei Jianwei meat pieces that his second sister-in-law gave him. One, two, three pieces. Looking at the fragrant meat leaving his bowl, Wei Jianhua wanted to weep.

"Second brother, please say something." Wei Jianwei finally condescendingly glanced at him. "Speak less. Eat more."

"Okay." Wei Jianhua sniffed and nodded. Thinking of the pieces of meat that he had given away, his heart trembled in hurt.

When they finished eating, He Xiaoyun sat down on the river, washed her hands, and brought the dishes home. Wei Jianhua watched He Xiaoyun walked away, he looked at his brother and wanted to inquire if his sister-in-law was angry, but didn't dare ask.

After returning home and preparing to wash the dishes, He Xiaoyun found out that there was no water in the water tank.

Feng Qiuyue said, "I'll go to the field and ask your elder brother to fetch water."

"No need for you to go, sister-in-law. I'll go do it."

"Our bucket is big, you can't pick it up." Feng Qiuyue said worriedly.

"If the bucket is big, I'll just make sure it wasn't full." He Xiaoyun responded with a smile.

The Qingshuihe brigade has no shortage of water. In addition on the river at the foot of the mountain, there are three wells on the team. The people on the team usually washed clothes in the river and washed vegetables with the groundwater in the well.

The water at home was refilled by Wei Jianwei a few days ago. He probably forgot about it because of the planting of rice seedlings on the field.

He Xiaoyun picked up the pole and two buckets and walked to the closest well to the house. Wei Yuanhang followed her like a little tail.

The well is close to the river, and the people planting the seedling just finished eating and were resting. The child's eyes are good and he quickly found his family.

"Dad! Uncle!"

Wei Jianhua saw his little nephew and his second sister-in-law carrying buckets, so he wanted to help and stand up, "Is there no water at home? Let me help sister-in-law." But there are people around him that are one step faster.

Wei Jianwei picked his hat on the branch, wore it in his head, and strode over.

The bucket at home is deep and made of iron. A bucket of water is thirty or forty catties in weight. He Xiaoyun shook the bucket twice in the well. After filling the bucket, she lifted it up and found it difficult. When she was preparing to pour out some water, a hand stretch out to stop her.

"Eh?"

She turned her head to take a look and found that it was Wei Jianwei. The two were a little close and she could see his profile under the hat, cold and silent.

He Xiaoyun wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

"Dad is amazing!" Wei Yuanhang leaped beside them and clapped his hand vigorously.

At this point, Wei Jianwei had already filled the other bucket, picked up the pole, hooked the two buckets, and easily lifted it up and walked forward.

He Xioayun had no choice but to lead Wei Yuanhang to keep up. Passing by the fields, a few people resting and saw their family of three walking by, someone even joked, "I saw Jianwei in a hurry. It turned out he was carrying water home, you really loved your wife, Jianwei?"

He Xiaoyun walked behind and couldn't see what Wei Jianwei's expression was. But the man turned his head and nodded at the person talking and walked away quickly.

She also glanced over there, Zhang Yurong, whom Wei Jianhua was talking about was also looking at them. She seemed to notice He Xiaoyun's gaze and looked over, but then turned away and continued talking to the person beside her.

The water well was about three to four hundred away from home. There were paddy fields on both sides of the road. He Xaioyun was blocking the sunlight with her hands when her eyes fall on the back of a certain someone.

The Wei family members are generally born taller. Wei Jianwei seems a little bit stronger too. His clothes are soaked in sweat and stuck to his back.

The broad and thick back muscles rise and fall with his steps. If he didn't turn his head, she wouldn't be caught looking, right? He Xiaoyun thought so and deliberately glanced at his back repeatedly.

She then said in her heart, 'If you have the ability, have eyes behind your back!'
