According to Bai Ziren's original plan, she would not stay in Jishan County for more than a week, but as time passed, she stayed one day after another. Liu Xinyu asked her when she would come back on the phone, and she replied that she wanted to stay longer For two days, Liu Xin spoke angrily, saying how can you, an unmarried girl, live with her boyfriend all the time, what kind of words are seen by others? .
The strange thing is Cheng Jingbo's attitude. In the first two days, he also asked her when she would go back. She replied that it would be a week. It's over.
The mountains are quiet and the days are long, and she began to like this place. The scenery here is simple, but the starry sky is beautiful. In the evening, I enjoy the coolness in the yard with him. There are refreshments and watermelons on the small table. She listens to him telling stories while eating. How comfortable, not to mention that he has prepared everything for her, including food and clothing, which is enough for her, she herself is not a person who likes to join in the fun.
Since he didn't drive her back, she would just stay on for a few more days. Mom had to take care of the summer life of the two children, and she wouldn't keep staring at her. She excused herself in her heart, and there was no rush to go back anyway.
So, I stayed for another five days with the cheek.
On this day, Bai Ziren came back with a basketball in his arms, and Cheng Jingbo was still in class. She went upstairs to get the key to open the door, and suddenly there was another person beside her, and asked politely, "Does Xu Luoshan live here?"
Bai Ziren saw that the woman in front of her was wearing a water-red dress, long hair shawl, a delicate bag, sunglasses, and a straw hat on her head. She also had a sweet scent of perfume floating in the hot wind.
"May I ask who you are?" Bai Ziren asked back.
"I'm his fiancee." The woman took off her glasses, her eyes revealing a little anxiety and fragility.
Intuitively, Bai Ziren thought she was not lying, and told her that Xu Luoshan lived in 204 and was now at school.
"That's right." The woman lowered her head, as if thinking about something, and then said, "Thank you, then I'll go find him."
She left quickly.
After entering the room, Bai Ziren washed her face with cold water, changed her clothes, and ate the fruit that Cheng Jing had cut in the morning. Soon, she fell asleep. Her head was lowered, her arms were pillowed, and she finally lay down on the table Fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, there were quarrels in his ears. Bai Ziren opened his eyes and walked slowly to the door.
There was only one door, and she could clearly hear the conversation at the door of the next room.
"What you said doesn't count. You said you would come back during the summer vacation, but then you found various reasons to delay it." The woman's voice was crying, "How can you do this?"
"It's better to change the plan, and there's nothing I can do about it." Xu Luoshan's voice was as calm as ever.
"If that's the case, let's call off the engagement. I'll marry someone else according to my father's wishes."
After the woman finished her willful words, Xu Luoshan didn't speak for a long time.
Bai Ziren never cared about other people's family affairs, but at this moment her steps froze and she didn't turn around in time. She wondered what Xu Luoshan would say.
There was a long silence, Bai Ziren waited and waited, forgot to blink.
Xu Luoshan finally sighed and said, "Maybe your father is right."
Bai Ziren was taken aback for a moment, and then heard a loud slap across the face.
"What do you think of me? An item that can be refunded?" The woman changed her tone and said coldly.
Bai Ziren was also surprised that Xu Luoshan would say such a thing, and immediately looked down on him a bit, thinking that he was so irresponsible.
The woman didn't make any more noise, she stepped on her high heels and started to run in gusts of wind, as if she was going back, but Xu Luoshan also chased after a few seconds of pause.
Bai Ziren returned to the table, poured a glass of water to drink, then went to the kitchen to wash the vegetables, cut them up and put them in the basket, and waited for Cheng Jingbo to come back and cook. It wasn't that she was lazy. A plate of dark eggplants came out, and a mouthful was full of greasy, unable to swallow. She was very frustrated and wanted to try again, but he didn't allow it, fearing that her room would catch fire.
After Cheng Jingbo came back, Bai Ziren mentioned Xu Luoshan to him, and asked him why Teacher Xu didn't go back on time.
"He is a person with ideals. He has been committed to creating the best education since he was 20 years old. Fifteen years have passed, and this goal has not changed. He is too focused on investing and delaying others."
"No matter how busy you are, you can't treat the person you like like this. I think he's wrong."
Cheng Jingbo smiled, took a piece of taro with chopsticks, and handed it to Bai Ziren's mouth.
"Not everyone puts love first."
"That can't be the last one."
He looked at her thoughtfully, then his smile grew stronger, and he said, "It makes sense, no matter what, you can't neglect your fiancée."
Bai Ziren nodded, ended the topic, and concentrated on eating the delicacies he cooked.
Unexpectedly, for the next four days, Xu Luoshan asked for leave to return to his hometown, and when he reappeared in the yard on the fifth day, he was no longer alone. Standing beside him was his newlywed wife. They were wearing brand new clothes and brought a big suitcase. After opening it on the spot, I took out a bag inside and started distributing wedding candies door by door.
Bai Ziren was dumbfounded when he received their wedding candies. He first looked at Xu Luoshan, and then at the woman who was still fighting a few days ago and is now Mrs. Xu. After thinking for a long time, he said congratulations.
"My name is Mo Wei, just call me Wei Wei." The woman said softly.
She had already changed out of the extremely eye-catching long dress a few days ago, and changed into a plain plaid dress, which was elegant and graceful.
It just so happened that Cheng Jingbo had just returned, and seeing them distributing wedding candies was not a big surprise, he had already had a premonition.
Xu Luoshan introduced Cheng Jingbo to his wife, and Cheng Jingbo said hello politely.
"I didn't expect that I would get married earlier than Teacher Cheng." Xu Luoshan was filled with emotion.
Cheng Jingbo had a good demeanor, he just smiled and said a word of love for a hundred years.
After returning to the house, Bai Ziren stared at the box of wedding candy, still unable to realize for a long time, are they really married
Cheng Jingbo was afraid that she would become stupid if she watched it any longer, so she took the wedding candy and put it aside, and said, "They have known each other for six years, and getting married today is not too fast."
This was beyond Bai Ziren's expectation. He never thought that someone could fall in love for so long without getting married.
"In terms of efficiency, they are far behind us."
"..."
He is concerned about what Teacher Xu said just now...
Because Xu Luoshan and Mo Wei are newlyweds, they will naturally not be separated. Mo Wei brought most of the things at home, and some small things will be sent over one after another. The house has a new look, and she is busy almost every day. Bai Ziren occasionally walks past their door. The door is open. She sees Mo Wei jumping onto the sofa, holding a hammer to a picture frame nailed to the wall, and taking another look. , Seeing that the greasy curtain cloth before was gone, replaced by light green, double-layer tulle with small flowers hooked on it, the sunlight came in all of a sudden, and the room was bright, she felt a little envious.
Not only that, but Mo Wei also brought an oven. She personally made small red bean-flavored biscuits, packed them in small transparent bags, and distributed them to other teachers.
Bai Ziren ate a piece, it was really delicious, thinking how could she know everything, in comparison, he seemed like a household waste.
In this regard, she specifically asked Cheng Jingbo's opinion, and got a weird answer: "I don't like a fiancee who can do housework."
…
At the end of the month, Xu Luoshan and Mo Wei formally hosted a banquet for other teachers. They set up a big table in the yard. Many people came, including some children from the school. Mo Wei thoughtfully poured juice for them and cut small cakes. , and gave them small gifts.
Wang Yiqi ate the blueberries on the cake, thought about it, and said, "Although Teacher Cheng's fiancée is more beautiful, Teacher Xu's wife is more virtuous. I like the latter now."
Bo Ziren, who had just passed by, slipped on the soles of his feet when he heard the words, and looked down, who was so happy that he threw a piece of watermelon rind with a smiling face on it on the ground.
Song Feng covered Wang Yiqi's mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Although it's true, you should keep your words in your heart."
Bai Ziren picked up the watermelon, just stood still and inadvertently heard Song Feng's innermost thoughts, and was even more shocked.
After pondering for a while, she threw away the watermelon rind, and went back upstairs decisively. After a while, she came down, holding a bunch of snacks in her hand, and distributed them to the children one by one.
Wang Yiqi got a piece of chocolate in a shiny package, and immediately changed her words obediently, and said to Bai Ziren: "Sister, you are beautiful and generous. No wonder Teacher Cheng likes you so much. If I were a man, I would marry you as my wife."
Song Feng cast her a contemptuous look upon hearing this, and then thanked Bai Ziren.
Bai Ziren found a little psychological balance, but soon a loud voice came from his ear: "What? Mrs. Xu made all the dishes on this table by herself? This is so virtuous and impeccable. Teacher Xu, you are so lucky , this cup is toast to you!"
"No, no, no." Xu Luoshan said modestly, "The ones on the left were done by Mr. Cheng."
"It turns out that Teacher Cheng's virtuousness is known to everyone. The whole school knows that he goes to the vegetable market to buy ingredients every day, and makes soup for his girlfriend when he comes back. By the way, I think he has lost a lot of weight. It really makes people feel distressed."
Bai Ziren really wanted to dig a hole in the ground, so he quickly jumped in and never came out again.
She turned around and was about to hide somewhere, but she ran into the man who said he loved Teacher Cheng just now. He stared at her, and smiled heartily after a while, and his voice became louder: "I didn't recognize it for a moment just now, so it turns out It's Teacher Cheng's girlfriend, you've grown a lot!"
…
After the banquet, the music ended, and Cheng Jingbo and Bai Ziren helped clean up the garbage in the yard.
Mo Wei was very tired. Just as she was cleaning up the dishes, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down. Fortunately, Xu Luoshan quickly caught her and took her upstairs to rest.
"Let's take a break too." Cheng Jingbo said.
They sat on the bench, looking at the summer moon leisurely.
"I've gained a lot of weight." Bai Ziren said, shaking his legs, "I stood on the school scale yesterday, and I gained six catties."
"Looks like I'm doing well."
"If you get fatter, you won't be able to carry me anymore, and I won't be able to sit on your shoulders anymore."
"Why don't you try it now."
She thought he was joking, she just smiled and shook her head, but he bent down and hugged her.
The anti-shoulder was replaced by a princess hug.
He seemed to weigh the person in his arms seriously, and then said in a low voice, "It's a little heavier."
Just as she was about to say let me down, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"I like you the way you are now, more likeable."
One sentence made her give up resistance, dispelling the idea of losing weight just now.
He held her for a long time, and after putting it down, he still looked relaxed, without any effort at all.
There were only half of the firework sticks dropped by the child in the corner. He walked over and picked them up one by one, piled them up not far from her heels, and took the matches on the table, and stroked them smoothly, creating a cluster of small flames. It fell into his palm, as if being held by him.
She saw him bent down and lit those fireworks, the rustling lights suddenly appeared, forming a flower shape, blooming at her feet, slowly closing, leaving behind gray smoke.
"This one is too small, I'll take you to watch the fireworks in autumn."
She nodded and didn't speak, but she decided in her heart that no matter how brilliant the fireworks were, they were not as good as the one in his hand just now.
In this quiet corner of the world, the human fireworks he set off for her was the only romance she had ever seen in her life.
After returning to the room, after they washed, one went to bed, and the other lay on the floor as usual.
"I want to listen to you reading, or I won't be able to fall asleep."
As she spoke, she handed him a book next to the pillow. After he took it, his eyes were calm, he smiled, and opened the first page.
Small bridges and flowing water, deserts and solitary smoke, He Mo has traveled to so many places, and what he sees is always a moon.
If you don't go out for a walk yourself, you won't know how big the world is, and how vast the sky is. It turns out that in the universe, we are all a drop in the ocean.
I mourn my life for only a moment, and envy the endlessness of the Yangtze River.
However, looking at the starry sky in the desert, eating shredded mutton, and listening to your lover play the guitar and sing love songs, this is the happiness that belongs to mortals.
Knowing that life is limited, we still pursue these glimmers. Isn't this the meaning of life
He read it for a long time, until she stopped when he described how He Yan treated the love letter.
"Do you know why I like this book?"
"why?"
She lowered her head, let her long black hair fall to the bed, looked at him without blinking, and explained: "I like this character, I think he is upright and open, knowledgeable, kind to my sister, and people can rely on."
There was a slight change in the depths of his eyes.
"Later I found out that he was real."
He heard her finish.
"Coincidentally, I met him in a cafe. He said exactly the same sentence as in the book. He also likes to hold people's hands to cross the road, and he can use his watch to locate the north, south, east, and west."
He put down the book and went to shake her hand.
"Look, I'm at a disadvantage. I liked you so long ago, and you only like me now."
After a long time, he said: "It's a bit of a disadvantage, how about this, as compensation, I will like you more in the future."
