Xinghua married the "idiot" at the east end of the village.
Everyone said he was stupid, but Xinghua had seen another side of him - that day she was not allowed to eat as a punishment, and her legs were weak from hunger. She hid in the back mountain to look for wild fruits, but she ran into him reading under the shade of a tree with his head down. Glancing over, I saw that the words on the paper were written one stroke after another. They were so handsome that they didn't look like they were raised in the countryside. He noticed it and wasn't annoyed. He just silently handed over a white-flour steamed bun with thick chunks of meat inside. It was as warm as fresh out of the pot.
Later, his parents said that they would give her to him. Xinghua nodded without hesitation.
The whole village laughed at her for being stupid. Only she knew that that marriage was the most sober choice in her life.

It's very warm and delicate. Although it feels chilling to see the patriarchal family over daughters, they still maintain their dignity. After Xinghua left, the family may have realized that without her, they have to do all the work themselves. Occasionally, they will think of her kindness, but that's it, alas.
Good-looking, good-looking, warm and delicate
