summary of the story

In the village, Hussein was a poor boy who worked as a mason. One day when he was working in a family, he saw Taheri, the daughter of the neighbor, doing her homework on the stairs, "She is so gentle and dignified, and he took her as his wife. The idea came out spontaneously.” So that evening, Hussein went to the river and waited for Taheri's mother to fetch water and propose to her daughter. But her mother rejected him contemptuously. He also lost his job because of this. Hussein vowed to stop doing the lowly job of a mason. The earthquake came unexpectedly. Taheri's parents and a neighbor's family died in the collapsed house. Taheri lives with his elderly grandmother.
Hussein did not give up his pursuit, and went to the cemetery on the second, seventh, and fortieth days of the funeral. He didn't get a chance to talk to Taheri, only to question her grandmother. The grandmother rejected him flatly, saying "without a house, there is no wife". Seeing this, not only laughed.
The crew came to the village to shoot a short film, and the hero and heroine happened to be Taheri and Hussein. Initially, Taheri refused to work with Hussein on filming, only to start working together after the crew threatened to replace her with an actress. In the interval between filming, Hussein finally had the opportunity to express his heart to Taheri. Taheri was reviewing his homework and kept looking down at the book. Hussein stood at the other end of the hallway of the house. He said, "I didn't marry you so that you could cook and do my laundry for me, but just because I was happy to live with you." He painted her a beautiful blueprint for married life: I went to rent this house, we brought good luck to the house, and after we came, the flowers opened and it welcomed us. Many people lost their houses after the earthquake. I swore I'd never be a mason again, but I'm willing to go back to my old business for you. Masons are cheap, but they make a lot of money. I make money every month to support my family. You can continue to study. We eat at the market. "If you are too embarrassed to say yes, please turn a page of the book to express your consent!" Taheri's book never turned over. The camera is almost still there, and when she is about to turn the page, the director calls them to start shooting.
The short film was soon over. The crew clamored for the car to go back to the village. Taheri couldn't wait, and picked up her pot of flowers alone and walked to the village. Under the guidance of the director, this silly boy Hussein chased after him. On the way, Taheri kept running forward without looking back. Hussein chased after her and said a lot to her. He wants an answer now. He said that there are many more beautiful girls than you. Hussain will not lack women, but I will not marry them. I am willing to marry you, a fatherless orphan daughter, because I want to give your life a destination. If you don't promise me, also explain to me what happened to the look you looked at me in the cemetery, because of that look, I have been following you. If you say "no", I will never pester you from now on. But Taheri said nothing and just walked on. She quickly climbed the hillside and disappeared. Hussein was almost desperate. He stood for a moment, put down the items in his hand, and chased after him. Over the hillside was a verdant olive grove through which Taheri was passing. Hussein quickly followed. At this time, the film's soundtrack is a melancholy classical music. The backs of the two people are getting smaller and smaller on the green grass, and they are getting closer and closer. When they finally converged, one of them ran back again. At this time, the soundtrack of the film was replaced by Vivaldi's "Four Seasons". " in a happy movement. So we guessed that the girl agreed to his proposal. He was running back to pick up what he had left on the road.
Taheri is a quiet and taciturn girl, but her character is very stubborn, and she never easily succumbs to the will of others. Hussain is illiterate and illiterate, but his eloquence is very good, and his understanding of marriage and life is very touching. However, the director had an interesting conversation with him. Once they met another very beautiful girl. The director told Hussein that he could marry her. Hussein said, no, she is also illiterate. If my wife and I are both illiterate, and we have children in the future, who will help the children review their homework? The director was speechless. Hussein made another high point. He believed that it is better for the illiterate to marry the illiterate, the poor to marry the poor, and the rich to marry the rich. It is better for the educated to marry the illiterate, and the poor to marry the rich. help. If two people who own a house get married, can they sleep in one for the head and one for the feet? The director couldn't help laughing, and said, they can live in one of their own, and then rent out one! Hussein did not expect such a method, and was speechless.
Hussain's bold pursuit of this beautiful lady with a much better family background and culture is actually very similar to some old Chinese stories. He fell in love with this young lady because he was literate, and did not give up his pursuit because she became an orphan with nothing after the earthquake. He said that your parents didn't have a house when they got married, but then they did. In our context, this young man has the courage and determination to fight for the family, has a deep understanding of love and tolerance for his lover, so he finally moved the girl's heart.
