C190 (2/2)
This afternoon, looking at the expression on her face, there was nothing out of the ordinary, but would she feel better? She was also a cultured, knowledgeable, intelligent, self-respecting woman. Could she withstand this blow, this sadness, this disappointment? Though she did not say anything unpleasant; though she did not show any displeasure on the surface; though she did not... When he thought here, he felt that what he had done today was too unreasonable.
On the 5th of May, the day that Lixia had been waiting for and hoping for, Zipeng had easily failed. What do you think her heart will be like?
Lixia has long had a beautiful vision and desire for May 5. But today, everything had been destroyed by Zi Peng. Do you think she can calm down? May 5th, how important it was to her! She had long hoped to share a meaningful thirty-eighth birthday with him, happy and joyful. Eating a group meal and saying 'Happy Birthday', but none of this worked. Do you think she wouldn't feel lost and sad?
Therefore, Zipeng thought, he should find a suitable opportunity to apologize to Lixia; admit his mistake to her in order to gain her forgiveness …
It was already past 3 in the afternoon by the time he got off the bus. Lisa walked back alone. She walked on the winding mountain road in a depressed mood.
Lia Xia was in a terrible mood today. She had wanted to go to City with her beloved Big Brother Zi Peng for a happy birthday. It had never occurred to her that he was indifferent to his birthday; that he was indifferent to her birthday; that he was indifferent to her birthday. It could not prevent her from feeling sad; it could not prevent her from feeling lost; it could not prevent her from feeling pain. As she thought this, her eyes filled with tears. For this reason, she could not help but resent him in her heart.
But, luckily, at 2: 10, he had already woken up and knew that today was her 38th birthday. He punished himself for his carelessness, for his gross negligence, for his unintentional forgetfulness, and shed tears of remorse. For her, this was something to be pleased about.
She thought: My brother might have forgotten. If he had, I could forgive him. But how to forgive, in my heart is still dull ache. When we got on the carriage, I forced a smile and got on the bus with him. After sitting down, he gave me another letter. This letter played a decisive role in my hands …
As she thought of this, a comforting smile appeared in her eyes that were filled with tears.
When she received Zi Peng's letter, the disappointment, sadness, and pain in Lixia had all disappeared without a trace. She felt, therefore, that it was this letter that had given her so much warmth and comfort. If she had not received this letter, she would not have been able to sleep for the night; she would have suffered for the night; she would have wept for the night. It was this letter that had saved her feelings; it was this letter that had given her the greatest encouragement and comfort; it was this letter that had made her no longer resent him …
Thus, she struggled out of her loss and placed all her hope on this moving love letter …
While walking, while thinking about her own problems, Lixia had unknowingly arrived at the door of her own home. It was only four o'clock, and the sun was still high. She pushed open the door and was stunned. The scene in front of her left her at a loss: the old sows and a bunch of piglets in the pigsty had messed things up in the yard, the radish and pickle sticks she was drying had been knocked over by the old sow and scattered on the ground, a flock of chickens and ducks were being chased around by the old sow. They had made a yard look completely unrecognizable. Luckily, the old sow still hadn't run out the door. If she had run out the door, the situation would have been even worse than it was now …
When she saw this, not only did she feel irritated, but she also felt frustrated. She was already in a bad mood today because her brother didn't give her a birthday. If she added on with all this nonsense, how could she not be agitated?
She went in the gate, closed it behind her, went in and took out half a bucket of pig food, poured it into the trough in the pigsty, and when the old sow saw that she had something to eat, she called for the rest of her children to go into the pigsty.
It took her over an hour to clean up the messy yard. At this time, it was already past 5 AM. Gui Hong still hadn't returned from his work in the fields. She couldn't wait to open his letter:
