The millennium is a special year, full of opportunities and challenges, but it is no different for those who live in the countryside.
Li Sheng is an ordinary peasant living in the countryside, and although his family is difficult, he is capable and upright. After losing his parents when he was a child, he was raised by the people in the village one by one.
But because of this reason, there was no one around him since he was a child, only his old cow has always accompanied him, which is his treasure and an important labor and economic source for the family. However, this year, life in the village was not easy, and everyone was working hard for life.
It is not easy for Li Sheng to survive alone, plus the cow is old, and a lot of work can no longer be done, so he is ready to sell the cow and buy another calf. Although he was reluctant, he really couldn't help it. One day, Li Sheng was packing up his chores at home when he suddenly heard an urgent shout.
He looked up and saw the neighbor's girl, Zhang Yue, running towards him with an anxious face. She is a well-known beautiful girl in the village, kind and gentle, because our two families are neighbors, so there is some contact on weekdays.
"Li Sheng, it's not good! My mom suddenly fell ill and was in a very serious condition and had to be rushed to the hospital. But I don't have any money at home, what can I do? Zhang Yue's eyes were full of tears, and her voice trembled.
When Li Sheng heard this, he was also anxious. He knew that the situation of Zhang Yue's family had not been good, and this sudden change must have caught her off guard. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I just sold the cow, I have a little money, you take it to your aunt first." ”
Zhang Yue's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she heard: "This ...... How does this work? That's your hard-earned money. ”
Li Sheng waved his hand and said, "Human life is at stake, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and take the money to the hospital." ”
Zhang Yue was grateful, took the money and ran to the hospital. In the hospital, after the doctor's all-out rescue, Zhang Yue's mother was finally out of danger. Zhang Yue was full of gratitude to Li Sheng in her heart, and she secretly made up her mind that she must return the money as soon as possible.
As the days passed, Li Sheng, who had lost his old cow, had no money to buy calves, and Li Sheng suddenly didn't know how to turn over tomorrow's land. After all, all these years of ploughing the ground were done with the help of cows.
Looking at the farmland in front of him, Li Sheng took a deep breath. However, when he bent down, grasped the hoe and began to work, the feeling of exhaustion instantly welled up in his heart. Some of the ground was too hard, causing Li Sheng's hands to be shaken and painful, and blood blisters quickly grinded out from the tiger's mouth. But he couldn't stop, after all, this land was his only source of livelihood.
The sun gradually rose, sweat soaked his clothes, clinging to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable, at noon, Li Sheng finally stopped what he was doing, he sat tiredly under a big tree at the edge of the field, took out the dry food that had been prepared, and swallowed it with difficulty. The dry food was rough and hard to swallow, but he ate it very seriously.
After eating, he didn't care about resting, and threw himself into intense labor. In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Li Sheng finally straightened up his sore waist, looking at the fruits of his day's labor, but there was no trace of joy in his heart. The little ploughed land was far from what he had hoped for.
He dragged his heavy steps and walked slowly home, and when he got home, Li Sheng was so tired that he could barely stand. He slumped in his chair to relieve his exhaustion. However, his heart was full of anxiety and helplessness, because he knew that there was more farm work waiting for him tomorrow, and he did not know how long he could last.
Zhang Yue is also working hard to take care of her mother, and at the same time trying her best to make money to pay off her debts. Her mother was not in good health, so all the work in the fields fell on her head, and when she came home in the evening, she would do some manual work and sell it at the market the next day. Despite the hardships of life, there was always hope in her heart.
One day, a sudden rainstorm hit the village. Li Sheng's field was flooded by rain, and he looked at the destroyed field in front of him, and his heart was filled with despair.
When Zhang Yue learned about it, she immediately rushed to comfort him: "Li Sheng, don't be discouraged, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty." Zhang Yue said firmly.
Together, they pulled up their trousers and walked into the muddy fields to salvage the crops that had not been completely destroyed. Ignoring the rain, they carefully picked up the fallen seedlings with both hands, and some of them were so bad that they replanted and nurtured them. After a full day of hard work, they were able to save most of the crops.
Zhang Yue herself also knew that Li Sheng's life was not so difficult, so she has been doing her best to help Li Sheng. One day, on her way to the hospital, she saw someone carrying a basket full of mountain goods, and she really didn't know that there were still people willing to buy these things.
Zhang Yue, who has lived at the foot of the mountain since she was a child, has always eaten these mountain goods, and she didn't think it was rare, but now she can sell them for money, which she didn't expect. So after she went home, she immediately found Li Sheng and said about selling mountain goods, and it was indeed a good way for the two of them to sum up.
So every day before dawn, they set out to go up the mountain, over the mountains and mountains in search of all kinds of precious mountain goods. Some of the more exotic things are still very popular in the market, and each of them can be sold for a lot of money.
In this process, the relationship between the two of them is also heating up, and they will trust and rely on each other more. Zhang Yue would hand Li Sheng a glass of water when he was tired, and Li Sheng would not hesitate to lend a helping hand when Zhang Yue was in trouble.
A few months later, Zhang Yue finally saved enough money, and she came to Li Sheng's house and returned the money to him. Li Sheng looked at Zhang Yue's haggard but firm face, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.
"Thank you, Li Sheng, I really don't know what to do without your help." Zhang Yue said sincerely.
Li Sheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "They are all neighbors, they should be." ”
Since then, the relationship between the two has become closer. They will work in the fields together, and they will also chat together and share some trivial things in life. In the process, Zhang Yue found that she had some other thoughts about Li Sheng.
One night, Zhang Yue plucked up the courage to find Li Sheng and said to him: "Li Sheng, I have thought a lot about it these days. You are a good person, kind, brave and responsible. If you don't dislike my family, I think ...... Let's make do with it. ”
Li Sheng was stunned, he looked at Zhang Yue's shy and expectant eyes, and his heart throbbed. He never thought that such a thing would happen, but at this moment, he really felt that Zhang Yue liked him.
"Okay, let's make do with it." Li Sheng replied with a smile.
Since then, Li Sheng and Zhang Yue have started their new lives. They work together and run a small family together. Although their lives were not rich, they were full of hope and happiness. They know that this relationship is not easy to come by, and they will cherish it and walk through every day in the future together.
