A single azalea caused all the trouble: the young man got a tree stump and married a pretty wife
It was all "caused" by this one azalea: the young man got a tree stump and married a pretty wife.
As the saying goes: "If fate binds them, they will meet even a thousand miles apart; if fate does not, they will not meet even face to face." Indeed, around me there is just such a living example. A romantic tale that made all the neighbors envious! People just sigh and say, perhaps this is fate!
What exactly happened? It turns out that Xiao Song is from the third she of our village, 22 years old this year. Because his family was relatively poor, he came home after finishing junior high school to help his hardworking parents with farm work. Xiao Song is very sensible, able to endure hardship, and is a good person too. Usually at home he would go up the mountain with his father to grow Gastrodia elata, cultivate medicinal herbs, dig bamboo shoots, and so on. Through his own and his family's efforts, life has changed a great deal in the past two years. With the government's help, in 2015 they finished building their own two-story flat-roofed house, and life is going well.
Besides doing farm work, in his spare time Xiao Song also likes to dig up flowers, grasses, and wild stumps for bonsai and the like to plant. So after finishing work, he would ride his motorcycle around. Sure enough, one day he rode to another village, and when passing a mountain stream, he saw azaleas blooming brilliantly all over the mountains and fields. For someone who loves flowers and plants as much as he does, of course he could not miss such beautiful scenery. He simply went into the woods, found a rather nice-looking azalea stump, and started digging it up.
After digging it up, he wrapped it simply and carried it out of the woods. Unexpectedly, someone called out to stop him. This person hurriedly ran down from the mountain, meaning that he had dug up a tree stump from her family's forest land without permission. At that moment he realized that not only could he not take the stump away, but he would also have to pay compensation. When the person who shouted came up to him, Xiao Song was stunned, and the girl blushed too. They called out each other's names. It turned out that the two had been classmates in the same junior high school class. The girl was named Xiao Rui, from the neighboring village. After exchanging pleasantries, they left each other their phone numbers.
And so, because he unintentionally dug up this one azalea stump, this azalea pulled the red thread of fate. Through phone calls and meetings, the two confirmed they were together, and on May 1st this year, Labor Day, they officially registered their marriage. This is the marriage fate brought about by one azalea stump.
