C28 (1/2)
The meeting ended and the rain continued to fall. It didn't clear until two in the afternoon. It rained for 10 hours and the ground was full. This spring rain was very beneficial to the spring farming. At three in the afternoon, the clouds dispersed and the sun smiled again. The feeling of the clear rain made him feel relaxed and comfortable. At 4 PM, Zi Peng came back from work. When he arrived at Yu Lixia's house, he walked in with large strides. Lixia was at home rubbing corn seeds. She was overjoyed to see Zipeng come. Zi Peng saw that she was the only one in the house, so he asked,
”Is Gui Hong not at home?”
”It rained all day today, and I didn't go anywhere at home. It was a little past three when they left, and followed along.
When Zi Peng saw that she was the only one in the room, he felt very happy. He took her hand, then a hug, then a kiss. After a while he sat down with her separately. He said:
”little sister, I think the weather is getting warmer. The pine trees have even been covered in green leaves, we can choose a day to go out and play around. After that, we can fall in love for more than a year.” Lixia lit a cigarette for Zi Peng and poured another glass of water for him. He said:
”second brother, you decide on the time.
”Okay, today is April 24th. Let's set April 28th. There are still four more days. What do you think?”
”second brother, let's do as you said. Our house is about to plant the land, and if I drive a plough, I won't be able to get away. ”
”little sister, let's meet at the entrance of Erdaojiang's department store on April 28th at 9 am.”
”second brother, don't worry. little sister will keep his promise and make sure to arrive before 9 o'clock. The only thing I'm afraid of is that you might be delayed by then. If that happens, you'll be in for a lot of trouble. ”
”little sister, that's not possible. This is the first time we are going on a date, how can I be late? I'll finish my work ahead of time and make sure I get there on time; I promise I won't leave you waiting. ”
So his first date with her was settled in a few words. He and she were both excited now, and as they looked at each other, they could not help but hug and kiss each other. He sat here for a while before taking his leave and walking back. At this time, she said:
”second brother, you can eat here tonight. Gui Hong will be back in a while, I'll cook a few dishes and after that, we'll play mahjong.”
”little sister, let's not bother about this anymore. If I eat here too many times, Gui Hong will suspect us.”
”Gui Hong doesn't know anything now.”
”little sister, we should pay more attention. I'm going back, don't forget about No.28.”
The spring rain had green fields; the spring rain had green pines; the spring rain had green grass by the side of the road.
On the 28th of April, the sky was clear as a mirror, without a cloud; the sun hung like a big ball of fire in the blue sky, radiating its power; the larch, on the hill, grew tender green leaves that gave life to the bare, barren hills; on the roadside, the grass rose out of the ground with its vigorous and tenacious vitality.
Wang Zipeng pushed his bicycle to the village entrance to work. He told the village chief:
”Chunming, I will report to the Rural Party Committee later on my work plan for 1988 and the plan for the development of the Party members.”
”Secretary Wang, do what you have to do. With the few of us at home, are you still worried?” The Village Head said sincerely.
Hence, Zi Peng pushed his bicycle out of Village committees, lifted his leg and rode on it, heading towards Erdaojiang. He walked from the gate of Sixteenth High School thinking: If I can meet Lixia on the road, I can take her with me. Sure enough, when he arrived at the coal mine, he saw his beloved Lixia walking in front of him. He quickly pedaled a few times and caught up with her. When Lixia saw that it was Zi Peng, she was extremely happy. So, she got on the back of the bicycle, and Zi Peng took her with him to Erdaojiang. When they were near the department store, Zi Peng said,
”little sister, I have something to do. Remember, 9 o'clock, at the entrance of the department store. With that, he walked towards the Rural Party Committee.
The Rural Party Committee's main road was on the Erdaojiang's East Flower Road, in a three-story building. This was the center of Erdaojiang, it was very busy and the traffic was very convenient. Close to the department store and the supply and marketing agency.
Zi Peng came to the Rural Party Committee, and after finishing all the tasks he needed to take care of, he walked out of the Rural Party Committee. He came to the market to buy something to eat for lunch. He thought for a moment. He decided to buy some ready-made items. So I bought beef buns, soda pop, and bananas. Then he looked at his watch. There were still twenty minutes until nine. He thought: I'll go and wait for her. It's better to go early than late. He saw Lixia standing at the entrance of the department store, constantly looking in the direction of the Rural Government. Zi Peng walked up to her from the side, shouting out, ”Young Master Ye!”
”Lixia, I'm coming!” His sudden cry gave her a shock.
When Lixia saw that Zi Peng had arrived, she was naturally happy in her heart. A happy smile hung on her face. He walked with her up the hill from the department store. When he reached the turntable, he pointed at a large pine forest on the other side of Dragon Mountain and said,
”little sister, that place is just a little far away, are we going or not?”
”It's fine as long as we don't meet anyone.”
Therefore, Zi Peng and Lixia walked side by side from the mountain to the pine forest. After going up a slope, they reached another mountain ridge. This was the east ditch of Fengjiagou. He walked from the east ditch to the pine forest. In any case, after more than an hour's walk, about 10: 00 PM, they arrived at their destination — the pine forest at the back of Taoyuan's Five Brigades and beneath the Great Dragon Mountain. This pine forest is very open, about 200 mu. In the pine woods, he and she held hands. They found a flat spot and sat down. The leaves of the pine trees covered the sun like an umbrella. From a distance, he could see that the tree leaves were blocking his view, causing him to be unable to see anything from 20 meters away. ”AHH!” It was a good place. So cool and comfortable. Then he took out the piece of plastic he had prepared, spread it on the floor, and they sat down on the floor. At this moment, both of them were extremely excited. They couldn't help but embrace and kiss each other. After a while, they let go of each other.
