Chapter 26: Is She Prettier or Am I Prettier

Looking at the calendar hanging on the wall, Lu Xiaoya asked, "Su Xinghui, today is Monday, why aren't you at work, but came here?"

Su Xinghui had to explain his purpose for coming to Jiangcheng once again.

As soon as Lu Xiaoya heard this, she said unexpectedly, "You haven't been there for a month, right? And you can already find a way for the village to get rich?"

Su Xinghui still said calmly, "After going to the grassroots, one can't just do nothing, right? You don't know, the life of the common people in the mountains is too bitter. Their annual per capita cash income might only be a few dozen yuan, but their annual per capita contribution to the village's collective funds is more than fifty yuan. Many families can't make ends meet and have to sell their food rations."

"So poor!?" Lu Xiaoya was a bit shocked. Growing up in the provincial capital, she didn't know at all that in the nineties today, there were still such poor people.

Actually, there were poor students at university, but families who could afford to send their children to university couldn't possibly have an annual cash income of only a few dozen yuan for the whole family like Su Xinghui said.

Su Xinghui's tone became somewhat heavy. "Yes, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it, but all of this is a fact, which I have seen with my own eyes."

Lu Xiaoya nodded. "I believe you. By the way, can you show me the bamboo weaving you brought?"

Su Xinghui took his backpack and took out the bamboo weaving one by one, placing them on the ground for Lu Xiaoya to see.

Those exquisite bamboo weavings made Lu Xiaoya unable to put them down. She picked them up one by one to look at them. When she picked up a lifelike bamboo-woven bird, she couldn't help but ask, "Who wove all these? They are simply too beautiful!"

Su Xinghui looked at the bamboo bird and replied, "These most beautiful bamboo weavings were all woven by a girl in the mountains. She is not only clever and skillful, but she is also very beautiful, as pure as a clear spring in the mountains."

Su Xinghui's words made Lu Xiaoya feel a bit more sour for no reason. "What is her name? Is she really that beautiful? Is she prettier or am I prettier?"

Even if Su Xinghui had no emotional experience, he now knew that it was inappropriate for him to say another girl was beautiful in front of Lu Xiaoya. He touched his head embarrassedly. "Her name is Xia Zhu. She is quite beautiful, but you are also very beautiful."

Lu Xiaoya asked relentlessly, "Then who is prettier between the two of us?"

Su Xinghui was somewhat embarrassed. He stammered, "I can't say clearly. Probably, probably you are prettier. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
