Loli Yang Xin's worries

  "Old Yang, do you think Little Hua is reliable?"

  "He was quite mischievous originally, but this time after coming back from being a soldier, he seems more steady."

  "I'm always worried he'll turn back into his old self in a few days, you know how mischievous he used to be."

  "Boys, when they were young, were all like this. Old Lin and his wife are no longer around, so no one is in charge of him, he will naturally be a bit mischievous. But since he came back these few days, I've heard several masters say that he has become more sensible and polite."

  "Even if his personality has improved, he's not very educated and directly became a porter, what will happen to him in the future?"

  "This little Hua, this is one thing that hasn't changed, still has a bad temper. I told him to go give Liang Guangping some gifts and try to get a good job assignment, but he refused to do it. Now that he's become a porter, it won't be easy to change jobs again."

  "Yes, if he's just a porter, I wouldn't want to give Xiaoxin to him."

  "Xiao Xin is still young, isn't it too early to be looking for a partner now?"

  "She went to Xiao Hua's house for dinner today and came back saying that Xiao Hua's fish was delicious, in every three sentences she says two of them are about Xiao Hua, I wonder if Xiao Hua is pursuing her?"

  "No way, I think Xiaohua shouldn't have this idea yet."

  "Alas, when Xiaoxin was young, I really thought of giving Xiaoxin to Xiaohua. Old Lin and his wife are both very good people, and Xiaoxin wouldn't be at a disadvantage if she went there. But later, seeing Xiaohua's attitude, I became unwilling. Now, if Xiaohua wasn't just a porter, relying on his veteran identity, he would still match with Xiaoxin, but since he became a porter..."

  "Sleep, sleep, it's too early to think about this now..."

  It was late at night, and the conversation between Yang's couple had ended with a boiled fish dinner at Lin's house. When the couple fell asleep, Yang Xin, who lived in the next room, couldn't sleep no matter what.

  Yang Chunshan's family also lived in two bungalows, one for the couple and one for their daughter and son. Although Yang Xin was already 16 years old and Yang Tao was 14 years old, it was a bit inconvenient for the siblings to share a room, but at that time, this was the living condition across the country, and Hanhua Factory's conditions were considered good compared to other units. Yang Xin's room was only separated from her parents' room by a thin wall, and there was also a door between the two rooms that was only partitioned off with a curtain. Although the couple spoke in hushed tones, Yang Xin, who was pretending to sleep next door, still heard their conversation clearly.

  What? My parents suspect that I'm dating Xiaohua? How is this possible? If word gets out, it'll be humiliating. But did I really mention Xiaohua in two out of every three sentences? Xiaohua, Xiaohua...

  ……

  "Little Hua, there's a snake!"

  "Yang Xin don't be afraid, look at me, the snake-fighting hero has arrived!"

  "Little Hua, you're so brave...... how did your foot get bloody......"

  Xiao Hua's heroic act of saving a beauty by sucking out the snake venom ended up with his own foot swelling, fortunately it wasn't a highly toxic snake, but still Xiao Hua had to lie in bed for several days.

  "Little Hua, Big Fatty is pulling my braids!"

  "Yang Xin don't be afraid, watch me go beat up Big Fatty!"

  "Little Hua, your pants are torn, I'll go tell Auntie..."

  Little Hua fought bravely against the little rascal, and as a result, both Little Hua and the little rascal got beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces, and when they went home, their parents scolded them severely.

  Green plums and bamboo horses, two young people without suspicion, Yang Xin, who has no older brother since childhood, shares the same big brother with her good friend Lin Fanghua. As they grew up, children also knew that boys and girls were different, Yang Xin would not call Xiao Hua Ge to help out whenever something happened, but in her heart, she always knew one thing, that is, if there was really any trouble, Xiao Hua Ge would come to help herself.

  Xiao Hua's parents had an accident, Yang Xin's parents thought of Lin's younger siblings and often invited them to dinner. Yang Xin saw that Lin Zhenhua had grown up a lot overnight and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. She wanted to comfort this poor boy, but was restrained by her shyness as a young girl and never dared to take action.

  Xiao Hua became more and more mischievous, often skipping school to play with friends or sneaking into the fields to steal sugarcane from farmers. The masters in the factory also started frowning at Xiao Hua, teaching their own children not to be like him, who didn't strive for progress. But in Yang Xin's heart, Xiao Hua was still the same old Xiao Hua, the one who would run over to help her chase away snakes or drive away annoying little boys.

  Xiao Hua Ge joined the army and left, Yang Xin felt empty and deserted in her heart. Xiao Hua Ge would only send a letter to Xiaofang every few months, and Yang Xin always tried to find ways to get Xiaofang to show it to her. However, Xiao Hua Ge's letters were written so simply, with sloppy handwriting, and he never once asked about her, as if she had never existed in his heart.

  One day, Little Hua's letter said that his unit was going to the southwest to carry out a mission, and the mission was confidential. A month later, war broke out in the southwestern border, and Yang Xin suddenly realized that her Little Hua was there, in the blood, in the fire, in the hail of bullets... She didn't dare show concern in front of people, but she had dreamed more than once of Little Hua wearing a green military uniform, covered in blood, holding his chest and slowly falling to the ground, just like a hero in the movies. In her dreams, she cried until she was almost dead, and when she woke up, she felt that her pillow was all wet.

  Xiao Hua's brother sent another letter, saying that he had safely returned from the battlefield and was about to be discharged and return to work at the factory. Yang Xin was so happy that she hummed songs for several days, leaving her parents feeling baffled.

  Finally, Xiaohua has returned, and surprisingly gave herself a piece of flowered cloth, saying it could be made into a shirt. She knew that this kind of fabric was the most popular and expensive at the moment. Moreover, she heard Xiaohua say to her parents: "Yang Xin is also my sister." At that moment, Yang Xin felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest, her face burning hot as if she had drunk too much wine.

  Xiao Hua Ge arrived at the metalwork workshop, saying he came because Yang Xin was there. Yang Xin didn't know if he was telling the truth or not, sometimes thinking he was just joking, and other times genuinely hoping what he said was true. The old Xiao Hua Ge would never speak to her like this before, but now he had really changed, could make her laugh, say things that made her blush, cook boiled fish for her, and even gently pat her back when she coughed... Why didn't she cough a bit more at the time?

  Is this what adults mean by "finding a partner"? But if I want to find a partner, shouldn't I look for an office worker or at least a skilled worker? Xiaohua is just a porter, how can I be with someone like that?

  Alas, Xiao Hua, can't you just learn some skills properly? I know you've been very clever since you were a kid, and apart from your schoolwork, you pick up everything else quickly. If only you could spare some of that cleverness to learn some skills and become a skilled worker, wouldn't that be great?

  Yang Xinsi thought for a long time, hesitating and worrying, but finally made up her mind. No matter what others said, no matter how Lin Zhenhua refused, she was determined to teach Lin Zhenhua the skills and cultivate him into a skilled worker. In order to teach Lin Zhenhua well, Yang Xinsi must learn from her own master, Jiang Tiemei. The more she learned, the more she could teach Lin Zhenhua.

  Yang Xin finally fell asleep, just like in the song, with a sweet smile on her face in her dreams.
