C48 A Gentle Smile

Sister Li raised her eyebrows, her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she asked me, "Is big sister not young anymore?"

"No," I denied, squinting.

Sister Li said, "Liar."

I really don't.

Sister Li was after all, a woman in her thirties who had given birth to children. It was impossible for her to be like a teenage girl. But to me, she was not old at all. Doing that kind of thing was entirely due to the level of commitment and feelings they had at the time. It was not just a matter of appearance.

April in Xi'an willow shade, white catkins in the sky, Fanfei everywhere.

My life with the Sister Li was as warm as the slovenly season. Living together in my memory left behind irreplaceable and indelible traces. Even though I occasionally heard people talking about our relationship with each other with a look of contempt, I had never cared about it. Whether others were secretly saying that I was taken care of by a rich woman or that I was favored by the Sister Li's family, I would laugh them off.

All of these things are things that I have learned from Sister Li.

One night at the end of April, I was in the living room watching TV when Sister Li took a bath. The phone at home rang. Usually the phone at home didn't ring unless it was from her house. That's why I didn't dare to pick it up and ran over to Sister Li to tell her that it should be her parents calling, telling me not to pick it up.

When she came out, she called her mother back. After finishing the conversation, she said to me, "Pighead, didn't you want to see Xiao Bao? My parents will be flying here tomorrow afternoon. They brought Xiao Bao to Xi'an for a vacation. "

I tensed up and asked, "Then will uncle and aunt come directly here tomorrow?"

The Sister Li said, "That's right, don't tell me that my home is not allowed to stay here, but in a hotel?"

I said, "Then do I have to move out?"

Sister Li sat down and thought for a while, then said: "I guess that's the only way. My parents only know that I'm divorced, and they don't know that you're with me. "Let's just stay at the hotel for now. They'll be back in Hangzhou in at most a week."

I said, "I'll just go to Da Yong's place to squeeze."

Sister Li said, "That's fine, I'm really sorry. I can only make you feel wronged."

I said, "Even if you let me live here, I wouldn't dare. Your parents have never seen me before, nor do they know that I'm with you. What if they catch me as a hooligan?"

I made the Sister Li giggle: "You're a hooligan, hooligan Pighead."

I said, "I am only Sister Li's rogue Pighead."

She stared at me and giggled like a child. "I said it, you'll be my Pighead in this life."

I nodded happily. And I don't know how long it will be for us, but I don't know if it will mean following the wrong path all the way to the end of our lives.

Many years later, the life that Sister Li and I have been talking about seems to be too short.

Because my parents in Sister Li would bring Xiao Bao to Xi'an on the afternoon of the second day, after chatting with my parents in Xi'an for a while, I packed all of my things and went out the door.

Sister Li was unwilling to see me to the door and said, "Pighead, why don't you leave tomorrow?

I said, "I still have to go to work tomorrow morning, so I don't have time to pack my stuff. I can call or send messages if I want to at night, no matter where I live, I'll accompany you."

The Sister Li smiled in relief and sent me to the roadside outside the Qujiang Residence. After seeing me get on the car, she waved me over to tell me where I was.

I said, "Alright, Sister Li, you can go back now." After waving to her, I got on the car and left the Qujiang Residence, ending my short life together with her. The night wind blew, cold, like a man on a long journey, I stood in front of the door and waved goodbye to his woman, but on the journey a lot of feelings of reluctance emerged.

When we got in the car, I called Da Yong. He scolded me: "Bro, you haven't called me for a long time, why are you so bored today?"

I didn't say anything and went straight to the point. "Are you in the house? If you want to borrow a room, can you? "

Da Yong asked: "What's going on? If you don't live in a big villa, why don't you come to my thatched cottage and stay there for the night? Did you quarrel with the Sister Li? "

I said, "Can you cut the crap? I'll tell you about it when I get here. "

He straightforwardly promised, "Alright, then come over. I'm here."

Just like me previously, Da Yong also rented a house in a small district, which was half an hour away from Qujiang Residence. He opened the door and waited for me as I approached.

Seeing me come over, Da Yong went over to catch my bag and curiously asked: "What's going on?"

I climbed up to the sixth floor in one breath, and without eating the lid, I said breathlessly, "Let me take a break and drink some water."

Da Yong poured a cup of water for me and sat down: "Tell me, what's going on? It even made us homeless. "

I drank some water and looked around at his house. The items were in order, the air was fragrant, and I knew what was going on when I saw some feminine items. I asked him, "When did you learn to clean up?"

He said: "How could I? I'm still not done arranging everything by Xin Ru."

I teased him, "Not bad, you're already living the life of a husband and wife."

Da Yong said: "We are brothers after all. You and Sister Li live in the big villa while Xin Ru and I live in the small cottage. We don't dare to compete."

I asked Da Yong: "Where is Xin Ru?"

Da Yong said: "I heard that you don't have anywhere else to go. In a humanitarian spirit, I left you your bed and went home to sleep."

I asked Da Yong: "Do Xin Ru's parents know about you two?"

Da Yong said: "Last week, I brought me to her house to eat. I got it."

I asked him, "How is it? "Do you agree?"

Da Yong sighed: "I'm fine with objecting, just say that I want to buy a house as soon as possible, don't just say that I'm asking you a question, what's going on? Had he quarreled with the Sister Li? She wouldn't kick you out, would she? "

"Her parents are coming to Xi'an from Hangzhou for a trip, so they'll be here tomorrow. That's why I came here to hide."

Da Yong was confused, and said: "Then why did you come here to hide even though you haven't seen your parents? What kind of attitude is this? "

I said, "'s parents have never seen me before. Furthermore, Sister Li has just gotten divorced not long ago, so her parents do not know that I am here. They only know that it's not good for her to live in his house."

Da Yong handed me a cigarette, and said: "That's true. Xin Ru and I are both living here secretly, telling her parents that the place is far away, and that we rented a house near the company. "

I lit my cigarette and took a drag, "The problem is that the situation between Sister Li and me is a little complicated, she's older than me and has children. If her parents knew that I'm so much older than her, they would definitely disagree."

Da Yong blew out a smoke ring, and said: "Since you plan to stay with Sister Li, then regarding her parents, you must pass the test, you can't just hide forever, right?"

I said, "It depends on what Sister Li thinks. If she wants me to see her, I will. For the time being, she doesn't think it's appropriate. "

Da Yong said: "I will see it sooner or later. Not only you want to see Sister Li's parents, Sister Li also wants to see your family. Have you ever thought of bringing the Sister Li home? "

I shook my head. "I haven't thought about it for now, but it's fine to call her back, but if my mother finds out that Sister Li is so much older than me and has children, she would definitely not agree. It would probably anger her to death."

Da Yong said: "Whoever's parents will be like that. The gap is too big to begin with. "However, since you all insist on being together, then just persevere. Persistence is victory."

At night, while lying on Da Yong's bed, I couldn't fall asleep. I called Sister Li and asked her why I still wasn't sleeping. She remembered what she had said to Da Yong. I asked Sister Li, "Sister Li, after your parents came, do you plan to let them see me?"

The Sister Li asked gently, "Pighead, do you want to see them?"

"I don't know," I said, confused. "I want to see them, but I'm afraid they'll look down on me."

Sister Li laughed and said, "Why would they look down on you? My parents are fine. Actually, I want you to meet them, but you can't just hide. We have to test their attitude. "

I asked the Sister Li: "How do I test it?"

Sister Li said, "Tomorrow, when I pick up my parents at the airport, I will call you. Maybe when they go to Xi'an, I will call you to help us with our tour guide.

I said, "That's fine. We'll take a week off every May Day. I'll act as a professional tour guide for you and your family. Hur Hur."

After calling Sister Li for over ten minutes, they discussed how they should deal with her parents. She told me to take something to her house for dinner tomorrow night, just to pretend to visit her.

On the last day of April, when I arrived at the company, I felt uneasy all day. I thought about how I would have to go to Sister Li's house in the evening to meet her parents, and how I would be so anxious to sit in the office.

The sun had set and the day had ended. Sister Li called me, saying: "Xiao Wang, come to my house for dinner tonight."

Her voice was clear, and I heard the voice of an elderly woman beside me. I guessed it was the Sister Li's mother.

I said, "It'll be over in a moment."

I didn't know what to take with me, so I bought a bottle of Shaanxi's famous wine, Xifeng, and a lucky cat cigarette. I spent a few hundred yuan. However, in order to meet the parents of Sister Li, who came all the way from Hangzhou, I endured the pain of losing money. Actually, this sort of thing is nothing to Sister Li's father, because when I arrived at the Sister Li's house, her father casually gave me Su Yan to send over.

After getting on the taxi to Sister Li's house, I rang the doorbell. I heard a young girl speaking to Sister Li in a tender and cute voice, "Mom, someone is ringing the doorbell."

Very quickly, the door opened. It was Sister Li who opened the door, her long hair was tied up with a lump behind her head, and she was still wearing her apron.
