C19 (1/2)
The wind and snow mixed with the cold of heaven and earth;
a magazine tied the thread,
Become close friends with fate,
It was only natural for a natural situation to occur.
The weather in December was freezing cold and freezing. On the 25th, Wang Zipeng returned from work. Today, he was going to deliver the December magazine for ”Family” to Yu Lixia. This is the last issue of 87 years she's booked. In the afternoon, the north wind blew and the snow fell heavily. Zi Peng was pushing the bicycle as if he was pushing something over 200 pounds. Due to the heavy snowfall, it was getting harder and harder to leave. By the time he reached the door of the house, it was well past five in the evening. Zi Peng pushed his bicycle into her yard and entered the house.
When Lixia saw that Zi Peng had arrived, she was extremely happy. He looked like a snowman, with a thick layer of snow from top to bottom; his face and hands were red from the cold. She hurried over with a broom to help him clean up the thick layer of snow. In any case, the layer of ice on his clothes couldn't be swept away. So she said,
”second brother, sit down. I'll pour you a cup of hot water to warm you up.”
Lixia put down the broom and poured another cup of hot water for Zi Peng. He took the cup of water that she passed to him and held it warm in his hands.
”little sister, how come you're the only one home? Where did Gui Hong and his child go?”
”He went to his bro's house to drink. Xiao Wei will also be going. ”
Zi Peng took a sip of hot water, put down the cup, and took out December's' Family 'from his document bag before handing it to Lisha. She felt very touched to have 'family' in her hands. She said gratefully:
”second brother, take a look, send such a heavy snowfall back to me. It's not too late to send it off after the day is over.”
”I just arrived today, don't waste my time. It's along the way anyway.” I've missed you so much these few days, so I came to visit you just in time. ”
As he spoke, Zi Peng held onto Lixia's hand. He instantly felt an electric current flowing into his heart and spreading throughout his body. It was the first time he had shook hands with her since they had met. It has been 10 months since 24 February this year. During these ten months, he had been in contact with her countless times, but they had never been close to each other. On the car Guang Hua invited the ginseng technician, the two of them stuck close to each other, but in the end, they were still wearing pants. Even though it was only a single layer, it couldn't be said to be a physical act, it could only be said to be a mutual reaction. He had tried to shake her hand several times in the car that day, but there were still several people in the car. In order not to let them find out about his intimacy with her, he resisted his impulse...
Zi Peng had gone to her house to send off his' family 'several times, but he never did so. Even when she confided in him, he didn't shake her hand. Today, on a windy and snowy night, in a room with only him and her, he saw her face burning with excitement, and the hand that had been pouring water for him was trembling slightly. It was only when he handed her the 'family' that he took her hand. And tightly, tightly.
Although these were the hands that rural women used for their work, they were also, in his view, very delicate, soft, smooth and elastic. At this moment, his heart was beating rapidly; his blood was flowing rapidly all over his body... He didn't say anything, she didn't say anything. She just looked at him with her eyes full of love. She didn't say anything. This went on for a long time. Finally, the deathly silence was broken by the first thing. She said affectionately:
”second brother, you still took the initiative. I've been waiting ten months for you to shake my hands. If, on the 24th of February, we went to the Erdaojiang to buy a thermometer, and you took me on your bicycle, and on the way back you and I were in love with each other, and you wanted to shake my hand, and I was willing, but you didn't; if I asked you to order a 'family' for me that day, and you wanted to hold my hand, I wouldn't complain; if we went to Guang Hua to ask the ginseng technician to sit in the car, and you and I sat close together, and if you wanted to shake my hand, I wouldn't say a word. If you were to go to Shandong to study and come back to my house to see me, and explain to me that you wanted to shake my hand, I would be willing. But second brother, you gave up so many opportunities that you didn't even try to grasp. And I'm surprised that you didn't shake my hand until today, ten months after we met, got along, and knew each other. I'm surprised; I'm surprised; I'm really glad. I think that second brother may not be able to touch me again in this lifetime, including my hands. ”
When Lixia spoke of her feelings, her face turned red and her happy smile became like an open rose. Two beautiful dimples appeared on the round face, making the originally dignified and beautiful handsome face look even more charming and charming. When Zi Peng saw this, he became even more excited, causing his beating heart to speed up. Thus, he clasped his hands even tighter. After about five minutes, Zi Peng and Lixia finally loosened their grip. Zi Peng looked at Lixia with his eyes and said with deep emotion:
”little sister, do you know why I didn't shake your hand in the past?”
”second brother, why is that?”
”little sister, other than working etiquette, men and women cannot easily shake hands. As a man, who doesn't want to be friends with the opposite sex? Who doesn't want to shake hands and hug a woman? Who wouldn't? I want to, too, and I'm no exception. But then again, was it that easy to hold a woman's hand? If he couldn't even hold the spear properly, he wouldn't even have the time to regret it. Right now, my identity is different. I am the Secretary of Branch of the village, if such a scandal were to occur, would I, as the secretary, still be able to? Can the people still trust me? No. Therefore, I, a smaller official than sesame seeds, in dealing with problems, in life, in making friends, especially the opposite sex friends, should be careful and careful, can not blindly do it. Otherwise, the one who would suffer would be himself. little sister, tell me, do I not want to shake your hand? I remember one time, I tentatively touched your hand, you did not have any expression, and took the initiative to take my hand away. This shows that you don't want to do it. Therefore, I must be careful. To be honest, I really want to shake your hand. However, thinking was just thinking. It wasn't true. Every time I want to shake your hand, I use my reason to restrain the impulse. That time, when you asked me to book you a 'family,' I was in your house, and you and I were alone in the room, and I wanted to shake your hand. But I don't know what you think. Once he held it and the pot was blown up, the consequences would be unimaginable. Of course, you're not that kind of person. What do you think I should do in such a situation? He held the hedgehog in his hands, but he couldn't hold it and couldn't throw it away. At that time, it would be as tragic as it could get. However, I then thought, we are both people who have families and children, so it is better not to have feelings. Once they had fallen in love, they would be responsible. Therefore, after so much contact, I wanted to shake your hand, but I didn't.
