C33 Don't Let Your Thoughts Run Wild
Sister Li smiled at me gently and said, "Idiot, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but your body is not fully recovered yet.
I nodded and looked at the woman sitting in my arms. Her eyes were like water, looking at me tenderly. Those eyes were so penetrating that they seemed to pierce through my heart. I don't know why, but I was always like a child in front of her, occasionally acting coquettishly and not ashamed. And she took care of me like an adult.
Sister Li asked me if I was hungry, I said I was a bit hungry.
So she got up, put on her coat, and said she was going out to buy some food, and came back to cook for me. I've lived here for more than a year, but I've never cooked anything.
As I was about to leave, I remembered that I had a scarf in my closet. Looking at her exposed neck, the wind would definitely be extremely cold. He got up and took out the black scarf to stop Sister Li, and said: "Sister Li, I have a scarf here, why don't you wrap it around yourself. It's too cold outside."
The Sister Li smiled and caught it, wrapping it around her fair neck. Although it was a man's scarf, it was wrapped around the Sister Li's neck. After sending Sister Li out of the door, I just sat down when Xin Ru called. He asked me how I am going to eat lunch? She said, If it's convenient, I'll bring you some food. What would you like to eat? There was nothing I could do in return for her concern, so I could only warmly thank her for her kindness. She guessed that I was definitely with the Sister Li, and I didn't deny it.
As Sister Li was buying vegetables, my mother called me and told me that it was almost New Year, and that I should come back earlier this year. The matchmaker in the village told me about a person, "It's right next door in the village, Zhang Fugui's daughter was a grade lower than you in school, and she is currently working in Guangdong province. She came back earlier this year, so you should come back early to meet up with her."
Ever since I graduated from university, my mother had been talking about wanting a daughter-in-law, but things were not as others wished. Especially since I was born in the countryside and I was a single parent, I also tried to talk to my girlfriend in the city, but to no avail.
My mother, on the other hand, was anxious at home and often asked the matchmaker to tell me who she was. I told her that I might not be able to go back this year, that the company was working overtime and was very busy.
Mother said angrily that I would not know about the Gu family once I went to the city. I didn't even have a mother like her in my heart.
I go back every new year, but this year I don't want to drag my wounded body home and worry her about the old man. Mother later angrily hung up the phone, I was also very unhappy in my heart, sitting there sullenly.
When Sister Li returned and saw that I was unhappy, he put down the vegetables he bought and squatted in front of me. He raised his head and asked, "Piggy, what's wrong? "Why does it look unhappy?"
I told her truthfully, "My mom just called me and asked me to come back early for the new year. She told me to introduce someone to her and asked me to go back for a blind date. I said I couldn't go back for the new year, so she got angry and hung up."
Sister Li held my hand and joked, "Such a good thing, you must definitely go back and believe it. I don't mind, if you promise to go back before the new year, then I will go back to Zhejiang for the new year."
I frowned and said, "My mother is the only one at home. My sister will only be taking a break for a while, so I don't want her to spend the new year with my sister at home. The main reason is that I'm injured right now, so when my mother finds out about it when I go back, she'll worry about it. I don't want her to worry about it."
Sister Li blinked her long eyelashes and said: "I didn't expect you to be so filial, thinking about the elders. However, that's true. Seeing how you are now, even I feel my heart ache, not to mention Auntie. I will definitely be very worried. But can I not go home and celebrate the new year? "
I said, "I can. Although my mother is angry, but I told her that I have to work overtime, so she will understand me. Hur Hur."
Only then did Sister Li relax his eyebrows and say, "That's good." I'll go cook. "
She let go of my hand, smiled at me, and went into the narrow kitchen.
I leaned against the bed and listened to the faint clatter of pots and pans in the kitchen. I felt warm and happy. The cooking utensils had not been used since I had bought them, but occasionally I cooked a bowl of instant noodles in an electric stove. Today is the first time that they have made a real difference.
The Sister Li was quick. Very soon, strands of fragrance wafted out from the kitchen.
Not long after, when she brought out a few of the prepared dishes, the entire room was filled with fragrance. The smell of oil smoke rose up from my small, cold quarters, and I felt alive. When she was done, she came out of the kitchen and sat across from me at the small table.
Looking at the steaming dishes on the table and Sister Li's greasy face, it was like a married couple who had been married for many years. Sitting at the table and eating at the same time, chatting about mundane matters, the whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere which made my heart warm and harmonious. All of a sudden, I longed to have the present atmosphere for all eternity. I wanted to freeze time at that moment.
After dinner, the Sister Li went to wash the dishes. I sat on the bed and waited for her. When she came out of the kitchen, the phone rang. She picked it up, her face calm.
From her conversation I learned that her lawyer had called and asked her to come over. After hanging up, Sister Li said: "Pig, I'm going back to the company. The lawyer is looking for me for some matters.
I said, "It's fine, Sister Li, go back and busy yourself. I'll sleep a while later. "Don't worry about me."
Sister Li still looked at me with concern and warned me, "If I'm not able to come here at night, I'll ask Li Na to bring you a meal. You should just obediently rest at home.
I nodded like a child, the Sister Li smiled, took his windbreaker and put it on, saying that she had left. I gave her the scarf and said, "Put it on, don't get cold."
She smiled gently, took the scarf and wrapped it around her white neck. She walked up to me, wrapped her arms around me, and hugged me tightly for a moment before letting go. He said, "Take care of yourself, I'm leaving."
I walked her to the door, waved to her, and watched her disappear around the corner.
When he returned home, he felt that the fragrance of her body was still lingering in the room. There was also the smell of food and smoke in the air, as if she was in her own home.
After Sister Li left, I stayed in my room alone. Since Da Yong and Xin Ru both have to work, I opened my notebook and went online to chat with them.
Da Yong asked me if I really have feelings for the Sister Li. When I was with Da Yong, he asked me if I denied it repeatedly, but on the internet, I still told him how I felt in my heart. I said I didn't know either, but I felt very happy and happy to be with her.
Da Yong said that he did not know what I was thinking. Although Sister Li is a very good woman, and also very rich, and also beautiful, but after all, they are not people of the same age as us. It doesn't matter if she is older by one or two years, but she has grown ten years older. He said that even if Sister Li and I could both accept and interact with each other, both families would definitely oppose it if they knew.
My mother is a traditional Chinese rural woman who advocates marriage for all her children, even if my Sister Li were to agree to be with me, my mother would definitely not agree. I told Da Yong, I think that we were thinking too far ahead of ourselves. Right now, I am only feeling happy being together with the Sister Li, but I don't think that we will have to be together in the future. Maybe it's just a sense of freshness, but after this novelty passes, maybe it will slowly become unfamiliar in the future. Furthermore, it might not be that Sister Li was the first to get tired of me.
Da Yong said that if you think this way, it will be fine. Now that the two of them are happy together, as long as you do not think about the need to form a family with the Sister Li, that is acceptable.
I chatted with Da Yong and the other two on the internet for the entire afternoon. At around 6 o'clock, Sister Li called me, saying that she might not be able to come over tonight. I said that Da Yong would be coming over soon, and I told her not to worry. Only then did Sister Li feel relieved, and said that she would do her best to find time to accompany me whenever she had time.
After hanging up the phone with Sister Li, Xin Ru sent me a QQ message, asking me if Sister Li was still with me. I said no, I was at home. She said she'd bring me something to eat after work. I wanted to refuse, but when a person can't stand the loneliness, he says, Well, then.
Xin Ru's profile picture turned grey. At six thirty, she called me and told me that I was already downstairs and that she wanted me to open the door. I opened the door and waited for her to come up.
She wore a cream-colored woolen hat, a down jacket, a mask, and a scarf. I walked up and said, "You're dressed like a dumpling. Come in quickly."
She came in, put her food on the table, and said, "Eat while it's hot."
I opened it and saw that it was a pickled vegetable. It was exactly what I wanted, so as I ate, I asked her: "Where's Da Yong?"
She took off her scarf and hat and said, "I didn't call her. I drove here myself."
I asked her if she had eaten, and she said she had. He looked around my room and said, "What the hell?"
I curiously asked, "What's the matter?"
She said, "This isn't like your house. Why are you cleaning it up so cleanly?"
I then said, "Oh, Sister Li came in the morning to help me pack."
Xin Ru glanced at me, and said: "I was wondering, I thought it was you who did it. Sister Li stayed here for a long time? "
I knew that when it came to Sister Li, Xin Ru would feel uncomfortable, so he said: "No, sending me back to see my house is too messy. I just packed up a bit and then left."
Xin Ru opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he hesitated. I ate all the pickled vegetables she brought me, and finally drank all the soup. After eating to my heart's content, I said, "It's so delicious."
Xin Ru happily laughed, and seemingly casually walked to my side, sat down beside me, and asked how my arm is. I said I'd be able to do it in a while.
