C36 (2/2)
When Zi Peng went to work today, he said that he wanted to go to ginseng field to take a look. In fact, his real goal was to see Lixia. He first went to the ginseng field to check on the preparations for the ginseng curtain, then came down from the ginseng field. It was not yet ten o'clock when he arrived at her house. When she saw Zipeng, she was so happy that she quickly let him into the house. When he saw that there was no one in the room, he asked Lixia,
”little sister, where did Gui Hong go?”
”Seven teams of hawkers.” ”No,” she said.
When Zi Peng heard this, he was overjoyed. He went up and held Lixia's hand before pulling her into his embrace. He tightly embraced her and passionately kissed her. After a kiss, he and she let each other go and looked at each other. She said:
”second brother, I have been tormented by you. Didn't I agree in the letter I wrote you last time that we would meet at City on March 24th? I waited there bitterly for you all morning. It was still raining, and it was freezing cold to the point that my body was trembling. It was eleven-thirty when I drove back. When I was walking home by myself, crying as I walked, I was crying all the way home. ”
Zi Peng could see that she was very emotional, but he couldn't bear it anymore. Thus, he comforted her and said:
”little sister, I am so sorry. You said it was such a coincidence. Early illness, late illness, just in time for us to date before the illness. little sister, it's my fault for making you suffer. I've come here to pay my respects to you. ” After listening to Zi Peng's words, Lixia rolled her eyes at him and said:
”second brother, if you had sent me a letter in advance, I wouldn't have suffered so much; I wouldn't have been so depressed.” Zi Peng held onto Lixia's hand and caressed it, emotionally saying,
”little sister, time is tight, so I didn't have the time to inform you. Didn't you already go to the hospital to see me? ” Lixia rolled her eyes at him again and said:
”second brother, before I went to see you, I had a lot of thoughts about you. Firstly, you thought that I was pestering you so you did not come to date; secondly, you did not love me anymore, so you did not come to date; thirdly, you might not want to go to work, so you did not come to date; and fourthly, you wanted to punish me by making me want to wait here so I did not come to date. As a result of these and other ideas, I went to the village the next morning, March 25, as soon as I got to work. I want to ask him in person, why is that so?
”I came to the village but you were not there. I asked about the Director of Women and she said that you had been staying in the 206 hospital since March 21. It was only then that I realized that I was wrong about the second brother; it was then that I realized that my thoughts were wrong. That's why I rushed to the hospital to see you. In the hospital, you took me to the cafeteria to eat with you … Alright, second brother, no matter what, the pain, the misunderstanding, has finally passed. At noon today, you must eat here. Gui Hong will also be bringing Xiao Wei back at noon. ”
Zi Peng could only agree. He sat on the edge of the brick bed and drank water while looking at his' family '. At this moment, Lisa went to her pocket and took out a letter that she had just written, folded neatly, and handed it to him. He said:
”second brother, you are not allowed to look at it now. You can look at it after you return home.”
”I'll listen to little sister. I won't watch it now, I'll watch it when I get home.” He said with infinite affection. She and she embraced and kissed again. After that, Lixia went to the kitchen to cook while Zi Peng stayed in the house to read.
This year, Lisa took out the money to book her own 'family'. Last year, Zi Peng bought her a whole year's worth of 'family' at a bookstall. So, in November of last year, Lisa took the money and asked Zi Peng to order the 1989 'Family' magazine for her. Zi Peng didn't want money, so she wouldn't accept no matter what. In the end, Zi Peng agreed to her request.
Around 11 AM, Gui Hong and Xiao Wei returned to eat. He was very happy to see Zi Peng reading in his room, so he hurried in to greet him. Gui Hong said:
”The second brother is here, you have moved away, if you come again, you will be a guest.”
”I came to take a look at the ginseng, to look at the state of farming, and also to visit your house. When I arrived, Lixia insisted that I eat here. ”Well, I won't go.” Zi Peng explained.
”second brother, since you moved away, you started to see outsiders. After that, we'll go to the sixth team and eat at our place. Don't go anywhere else. ” Gui Hong sincerely said.
”How embarrassing is that?” I feel bad for always giving you trouble. ” Zi Peng said.
While they were talking, Lixia put down the table and served the dishes. She had bought fish, meat, and vegetables from Peach Blossom yesterday. She guessed he would be coming in a few days. Thus, he didn't eat even after buying it and just waited for Zi Peng to come eat. As expected, he really did come today. This afternoon, there were scrambled eggs, pork meat fried garlic, stir-fried tofu bubbles, stir-fried fungus, spicy tofu, and stewed fish. There were a total of six dishes. Lixia and Zipeng drank champagne and Guihong drank white wine. Lixia raised her glass and said,
”second brother is here today as a guest, so I don't have anything good to treat you with. It's just ordinary food, please do not mind. Come, let me toast second brother. ” After he finished speaking, she drank a glass of champagne. Zi Peng also drank a glass, and Gui Hong drank half a cup of white wine.
After they finished their meal, Zi Peng said goodbye to Gui Hong and Lixia and walked back. Because it was spring and the farm was busy, he didn't want to waste too much of their time. Lixia and Liuzi Peng played mahjong, and Zi Peng said:
”Come back on a rainy and cloudy day. Now is not the time to play mahjong. I will affect your work here.”
So he went back to work in the afternoon. Arriving at his office, he took out the letter that Lixia had given him, spread it out on the table, and started reading it carefully.
My second brother, hello:
Do you still love me? Do you know how much I miss you? I have written to you several times because I failed to succeed in my appointment on March 24th. Every time I write to you, I can't help but tear up at the thought of everything you've done to me. Brother, do you remember? April 28th? This time, I took the initiative to go on a date with my brother. April 28th, at 9 AM, I will be waiting for you at the Tonggang Club. If you don't have time, will you let me know in advance?
Dear brother, these days, I think you seem to have lost your soul, I love you to the depths, unable to extricate myself. All day long I miss my brother; all day long I wish my brother would come to my house. I guessed that my brother would be able to come to my house for the next few days, so I went to buy some food from Tao Yuan and waited for my brother to come before eating. My good brother, it has been two years since we met. For the past two years, I have been deeply concerned with my brother; especially with my brother's sincere feelings; and especially with my brother's true love and concern for me, the little sister has never forgotten this. I think about my brother all the time...
Well, let's talk about it when we meet on April 28.
I wish second brother a smooth and happy life!
little sister
Grass of 10 April 1989
After Zi Peng finished reading the letter, waves of emotions surged in his heart. He could not find such a reasonable and loving person, such a good little sister who thought about him every second of the day, even if he were to light the lanterns, he would not be able to find such a person.
Her obsession with him, her true love for him, her deeper love for him than the Yangtze, were all firmly etched in his mind. He made up his mind: I don't care what resistance I encounter; I don't care what difficulties I encounter; I don't care what arguments and pressures I encounter. I have to love her, to care for her, to take care of her; to give her courage, to give her strength, to give her encouragement. Only by doing so would he be able to live up to her sincerity …
