From farming to business

When Su Yongyue found Su Cao's house, the door was closed. He stretched out his hand and pushed it lightly, and the dilapidated wooden door slid open with a "squeak".

He paused for a moment, pushed the door half open, stepped in, and closed the door with his backhand, because this room was originally a warehouse for storing things, and the location was at an angle, so the light was not very good. It is not very comfortable to walk in, the eyes are a little dim, and it is difficult to see the situation in the house for a while.

"...cousin?"

When he closed his eyes and wanted to adapt himself to the light quickly, he heard some hoarse voices, opened his eyes and looked over, and the person he was looking for was sitting on the edge of the bed.

He came in from outside the house with his back to the light, he couldn't see his face, he could only judge Su Cao from his body shape, he was a little unsure, until the other party took two steps forward, he didn't see his face clearly, stood up and greeted him, "How do you do that?" coming?"

As soon as he approached Su Yongyue, he directly raised his hand and pinched his chin to the side, his bluish-purple cheeks were still a little swollen, and the corner of his mouth was also cracked, obviously he was beaten again, his brows were furrowed fiercely together.

Su Cao, who was a little dazed by his sudden movement, regained her senses, raised her hand to press his hand away from her chin, and gently held it in her hand, "My cousin, it doesn't hurt at all..."

He looked at his eyes that were still red and swollen, he must have been crying for a long time, maybe his face didn't hurt, but what about his heart?Su Yongyue pursed her lips slightly, reached out her hand to the back of his neck, and pressed him into her arms.

Su Cao, who was slightly shorter, was pressed by him, with half of his face resting on his shoulder, and one hand was also placed on his back, patting gently, the warm body temperature of the other party was passed to him, and there was still a breath between his breaths. Can smell light pear fragrance.

Su Cao frowned and endured, unwilling to let the tears fall from her eyes, but in the end she collapsed under his silent comforting, lowered her head and buried her whole face into his shoulder and neck, choked up and cried out, as if she was hurt outside. Wronged, finally found the child to rely on.

There was a pair of hands around his waist, hugging him tightly, the strength even made Su Yongyue a little ache, but he knew that the crying person must be in more pain, so he couldn't comfort him with a sound, he could only give him a sigh of relief. embrace.

When they were still living together when they were young, the two of them, who were also twins, became closer. Su Cao was soft-tempered, but unexpectedly seldom cried, and she remained silent even after being bullied by those few. Tell yourself it's okay with a silly smile.

Sometimes he bumps into him directly, and when his temper comes up, he will beat someone up. Every time at this time, he will be reprimanded by an adult, and both of them will be punished and not allowed to eat. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. defend them.

Su Cao, who doesn't shed tears when being bullied, will look at him with red eyes like a rabbit, pull his clothes pitifully, and say sorry in a low voice...

The time he saw the other party cry the most was the day they were separated and left. Xiao Shuang'er hugged his arms and cried loudly, her face was flushed with snot and tears streaming down her face, and she was taken away by him who seemed disgusted. Sleeves wipe off.

After that... it was today... Su Yongyue moved the hand on his neck to the back of his head, and stroked it lightly a few times. This guy's hair was as soft as his temper.

He actually doesn't like this man's soft temper, he can scold anyone who doesn't go his way, he often gets angry with him because of this, the day he met Yu Feng, he was thrown a stone by a few passers-by He didn't know how to talk back, and told him with a smile that they were just children.

He often wondered how there could be such a stupid person in the world who had no temper and did not know how to resist. He was so angry that he wanted to scold him, but he couldn't speak.

Su Cao leaned on his not broad shoulders and seemed to cry for a long time, maybe it didn't take long, the suppressed emotions flowed out along with the tears, and her suffocated heart was more or less relieved.

He slowly raised his head from the opponent's shoulders and neck, his eyes were more red and swollen than before, tears flowed all over his face, and he looked really miserable.

Su Yongyue let go of his hand, and wiped his face with his sleeve a few times gently, wiping away all the traces of embarrassment.

The rough cloth rubbed against her face causing some pain, but Su Cao quietly watched the person in front of her and let him move until he stopped, pinching her cheek unceremoniously, "Cousin, you must be very angry ..."

He knew that this person hated his weak appearance the most, and this time he would only hide and cry secretly, not even daring to step out the door.

Su Yongyue turned her head slightly and looked at him, with the words "You know it too" written on the bottom of her eyes. When he heard it just now, he was almost pissed off.

They have been in contact with each other a lot since they were young, so even if the other party can't speak, Su Cao can read most of his emotions from his expression, she lowered her eyes sadly, her eyelashes wet with tears trembled slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm always so useless..."

It's really useless, Su Yongyue thought in his heart, stretched out his hand and pinched his chin to lift his face, and looked directly at the pain in his eyes.

Su Cao, who thought she would not cry anymore, couldn't hold back after meeting his gaze, a teardrop rolled down from the corner of his eye, with a hot temperature, his nose was a bit blocked, and the words he spoke had a strong flavor Nasal voice, "Cousin, I'm with him... let's call it a day..."

The words squeezed out of his throat with sobs seemed to be his own death sentence. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and buried his face in his hands, his thin shoulders trembling slightly with the cry.

Su Yongyue wrapped his arms around his shoulders again, raised his chin slightly and pressed his drooping head against his collarbone, and rubbed his face against the top of his hair. He knew that the other party seemed to be asking him, but It is a fact that has long been understood in the heart.

Su Cao put down her hands and turned her face slightly, her cheeks lightly pressed against his neck, even though she was covered with sticky sweat because of the hot weather, she still wanted to lean against him like this for a while, those words seemed to have used up all he had. strength.

Raising her hand to brush away the hair stuck to the side of his face, whether it was sweat or tears, Su Yongyue lowered her eyes and let out a silent sigh, maintaining her movements to give him a moment of rest.

I don't know how long they stood like this until the sound of someone walking in the yard startled them. They were covered in sticky sweat early in the summer.

Su Cao straightened her body, and her expression was better than before. He forced the corners of his mouth up, and took the other's hand to sit down on the edge of the bed, "I always cause trouble for my cousin."

When he was young, because of his softness, the other party helped him to get ahead, and he was often punished by his family for this, but he gave himself a look of disgust indifferently, silently indicating that his was useless, and he would still stand up next time.

Later, his cousin moved away, and he became truly alone in this house. Although these were his blood and flesh relatives, they seemed far away from his neighbors in the village.

Because the relationship between mother and uncle and aunt is not so good, even he can't go to them often, not to mention he is not favored in this family.

Su Youcai is the eldest son of the family. He has been doted on since he was a child. No one can make him feel wronged. Although Su Mei is a girl, she is beautiful. Her parents have always placed high hopes on her and planned to marry her to a rich man. The husband's family, so that the family is also rich.

I have only one mother and compatriots, not only a twin, but also ordinary-looking and introverted, destined not to be favored since birth, even Su Zhiyuan, the son of my uncle's family who is a few months younger than him, can order him to do this and that. , He didn't take his brother seriously.

The only one who is willing to get close to him is his cousin Su Yongyue, who is also a twin. Although he is always fierce and can't speak, he knows that the other party is better than those people.

He would secretly stuff steamed buns for him when he was occasionally punished for being hungry, and he would stand in front of him when he was being bullied by those little ones, and he would call "brother" and "brother" every time he followed behind him. Shi Zhan stared at him with disgust, but never drove him away once.

The person who was not much taller than him was his only support at home at that time, so when he was about to leave, he cried like never before.

Even now that we seldom meet each other, the other party is still willing to rush over from the other side of the village, step into this home that he probably never wants to come in again in his life, and give him a hug and cry.

Su Cao felt that he was very lucky, there was at least one person who was on her side, no matter how many people outside talked about him, she was still willing to give him trust.

Seeing that the person sitting in front of him was a little dazed after saying that sentence, Su Yongyue took out the hand he was holding and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

Su Cao recovered from her own thoughts, smiled lightly at his questioning gaze, then lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Cousin, would you like to hear about my relationship with Brother Hong Wu?"

Su Yongyue kept quiet, neither nodded nor shook his head, he knew that even if he didn't respond to the other party, he would say something, just waiting for him to speak.

Because the two families are close to each other, Hong's parents and Su Yongyue's parents have a good relationship, so they often communicate with each other, and the children of the two families naturally meet a lot.

Hong Wu has been honest and honest since he was a child, and he laughed foolishly. He played crazy with the whole village behind Su Yongyue's ass, and they did a lot of things that those mischievous children did.

Su Cao would follow him occasionally, but he was not as powerful as the two of them. When they went up to the tree to dig out the eggs, he could only stand nervously by the hem of his clothes and stand under the tree to watch.

Sometimes when he saw this little boy who couldn't run fast, Hong Wu would stretch out his hand to pull him, or carry him to another rock when crossing the river.

Every time Su Yongyue saw it, he would give him a blank stare, and the word "useless" was clearly written on his face, but he didn't care about it, and he was happy to have someone to take care of him.

But this kind of care was still maintained after he moved to the other side of the village. At that time, Su Cao's life in the Su family was not easy, and when he was a little older, he was ordered to work by the family.

At the beginning, he was not adept at doing these things, made many mistakes, suffered a lot of beatings, no one would protect him when his cousin was away, and he had to bear all the pain alone.

When Su Yongyue left, he told Hong Wu to help him take care of Su Cao. He himself liked this soft little guy and often helped him when he went out to collect firewood.

Sometimes when I saw the injuries on his body, I would frown and feel distressed, and then I would secretly take the wound medicine from home the next day and give him some delicious food by the way.

This kind of care has lasted for many years, and Su Cao herself is not quite sure when the relationship between them changed. Consciously red-faced.

There was even one time when Hong Wu couldn't help kissing his cheek, it was as light as a leaf brushing by, but they were so ashamed that they couldn't lift their heads.

At first, he naively thought that they would always get along like this, and then one day the other party would marry him home, and they would be together forever.

But in recent times, Hong Wu has become more and more strange. Every time he meets him, he looks hesitant to speak, as if he is in trouble for something.

At first he was puzzled, but later he overheard the aunts in the village chatting, and then he realized that the Hong family's parents were planning to marry him, after all, he was already eighteen this year.

Su Cao couldn't remember what kind of mood she was at that time, maybe it was sad or maybe it was understanding, but he knew it was not Hong Wu's fault.

The other party was worried about this matter, so he didn't mention it much, just pretended that he didn't know what to do, at least let the other party relax when he was here.

At that time, he would never have thought that things would develop to such a point. At that time, Hong Wu's embarrassment was reflected in his eyes, and he didn't know where he got the courage to say such words.

He didn't want to look at the expressions of those people at that time. He dragged his mother who wanted to have an attack on the spot and went home. Even though he was slapped severely afterwards, he didn't regret it at all.

It's just that his heart was empty, as if a piece had been dug away, tears rolled down from his eyes, completely out of his control, he sat in this room for a day and a night, until the door was pushed open by Su Yongyue.
