C60 (2/2)
At this moment, I remembered little sister's order: We shall meet at the same place on the 25th.
How can I forget this beautiful moment, you and I together, more precious than anything.
When I was at the generalization Station, I prepared to return.
At 7: 14 AM on the 25th, he took the train to generalization and returned.
When he reached generalization at 9: 10 PM, he would be able to meet with him on time.
Who would have thought that the train would meet the four trains heading east at Bajiang.
The car was a little more than two hours late. I was so anxious that my heart was burning, and I was scratching my lungs.
When the train arrived at ten-fifty in generalization, I caught a bus and chased after it.
I rushed to the New Station, but did not see the little sister that was waiting for me.
It was six minutes past eleven. I went into the store, to the market, to get you back.
River Bridge, bus stop, drugstore, movie theater... I'm sorry I didn't find you.
Maybe I'm late? The anxious little sister had already returned home?
Could it be that little sister didn't come today and I was looking for trouble here?
What do I feel when I look for you in the sea of people?
I searched the long streets, low and broken;
Now I was crying, Where are you? The little sister that I miss day and night;
I can only feel happy and intoxicated when you are with me.
Only when I see you smile can I feel the consolation in my heart.
”AHH!” Where are you right now? The little sister that I will always miss in my heart.
”AHH!” Now that we're not together, do you know how depressed I am?
I hope that little sister can understand brother and reunite with him on time the next time we meet …
My dearest little sister, I can see that you are sitting at the 9: 55 mark, so it is around 10: 30 PM when you arrive at New Station. It was 6: 00 when I arrived at New Station. At this time, I was looking for you everywhere. Who would have expected you to go to the Erdaojiang on a big guest at 11: 40? It was also at this time that I looked around from the New Station bridge. After that, I went to the cinema to look for you. I estimate that you will be able to return to Taoyuan at 1 pm and I will then be at New Station Line 8 at 12: 30 PM. I waited until the train to Taoyuan arrived, but there was still no sign of you. Then, disappointed, I got into the car alone, listless and dejected.
My dear little sister, this misunderstanding has caused us to suffer. In order to come back to see you, I didn't even take the test for the title of farmer held in the duck garden in the district. That day, the examination hall was set up in the Duck Garden Town, so I gave up. I just want to come back and see you for a few hours. However, things did not turn out as you wished, and it was snowing heavily in the afternoon as well. This feeling, I sympathize with and understand very well. Therefore, I once again express my deep regret to little sister.
I missed the little sister. Now, I'm giving him a poem. I wrote this on December 15th. I hope you like it:
Having not seen little sister for nine days, I deeply missed him in my heart.
Thinking about you all day is like getting drunk, it's hard to fall asleep at night.
The deeper the love, the more missing, accompanied by bitter sweet and hot acid;
The bitter time is more bitter than the yellow time, sweet time is more sweet than honey.
The hot time is better than the capsicum, the sour time is worse than the vinegar;
Wishful thinking is hard to endure and often adds to your worries and sorrows.
Remembering the moment of the date, a clear picture is in front of your eyes;
”You and I are intoxicated with happiness, and all our worries are dispelled …”
Dear little sister, I did not see you on the 25th. I specially visited you on the 27th afternoon. When you asked me about it, was it for me? I say, how can you be so merciful? Think about it, your husband was home at the time. Can I say that I sent you a newspaper on purpose? Actually, I came to see you on purpose. With the excuse of delivering the newspaper, I met with you to relieve my yearning. You had a cold and a fever that day, you were sick, and you even helped me cook melon seed. I'm so touched. Since you sent the melon seed out, I won't be polite. Eating melon seed, drinking tea and playing mahjong at your house until the sun set in the afternoon before returning.
On the way back, I hastily opened the letter you gave me and tasted it from beginning to end. When I saw little sister crying for me, I couldn't control my emotions either. Involuntarily, he shed tears of emotion, sympathy, and yearning. You really are my good little sister, brother has you for life, your life in the human world is not in vain. It was you who inspired my work; it was you who fed me the food of my spirit, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
Let's stop here and talk about it next time.
I wish the little sister a happy and happy life!
This to
Salute
Your sweetheart
Evening of 23 January 1990
After reading Zi Peng's letter, Lixia could not calm down for a long time. She was filled with apology and love for him when she learned in her letter of the failure of her date. She thought: I shouldn't have guessed at him like that in the letter, misunderstood him like that, suspected him like that.
She felt a dull ache in her heart. It was she who had hurt him again in the letter. Even so, his letter had never meant to blame her; it had never meant to misunderstand her. In order to get back to meet her, he had given up taking the farmers' exam held in the district. Such deep affection, such true love, such a good brother, how could she not love him? How could she not like it? Therefore, she was moved to tears by his true feelings. She had always had a lot of tears, so how could she bear the heartfelt words he had said to her? How could he withstand his affection for her? So she wept for him.
She thought: If I had waited half an hour at the rendezvous on the 25th, it wouldn't have hurt both of us so badly. So blame yourself, not him. It was because he had waited too short; it was because he had broken his' promise of never seeing '; it was because he was full of complaints and hurt him again …
Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind. From now on, she would love him much more, care for him much more, be considerate of him much more, and compensate him much more than before. Such a good older brother was truly rare in this world. She wanted to love him forever and ever …
