Chapter 15

I took Xiaoya to visit this small mountain village that I had not met for many years. Although I am a little unfamiliar now, I can still vaguely see the memories of my childhood. The footprints we have left behind in the fields, the mountains, the streams and rivers.

Xiaoya followed me, as if she was back to the carefree time when she was a child. The little girl in a dirty skirt has grown into a graceful woman now. I looked at Xiaoya and suddenly wanted to live like this for the rest of my life.

Along the way, I met people from the village saying hello to me, and I nodded and smiled at them. When did they see Xiaoya beside me, they would ask, An Zai, when did you come back with such a beautiful wife?

Uncle Deng, I am Xiaoya, don’t remember me anymore?

Xiaoya? Oh, she has grown up so big and has become beautiful!

Xiaoya was a little shy at first, but later she asked too much, so she became generous. Women always liked what others praised, and their praise made her undoubtedly happy.

When we get old, we will come back to live in the village. Look at the beautiful mountains and rivers here, it is a good place for retirement. I said, I don’t even need to build a house, so let your grandmother give us the third floor to live in.

I said

Who wants to live with you? It's so stinking, Xiaoya glared at me and said, "Your wife can't kill me."

Xiaoya asked me how Lin Lan was doing. I sighed and said, "Look at the mountain behind our village. I always thought that climbing a mountain was another world, but I climbed over and found that there was still a mountain behind me. Later, I climbed over that mountain, but it was still a mountain behind me."

I thought that when I met Lin Lan, I would cross the threshold, but I found that it was like this mountain. I climbed over and found that it was still a mountain behind me.

Brother, when I have money, you can fly over when I can get you a plane. Xiaoya giggles

I looked at her smiling and said, "You are single, I am single too, why don't we just make do with each other and make up for it."

Very Ah, Xiaoya smiled even happier. Women nowadays need to have a house and a car. You have to fight these things first, otherwise it would be too shameful to marry you.

I was about to speak, but Xiaoya was already making a fuss with the children in the village. She smiled innocently, as if she had returned to her childhood.

The New Year's night is lively, the adults gather together to play cards and brag, the children are running around and making noise, and the sound of firecrackers is constantly coming, and the fireworks in the night sky are blooming, like various blooming flowers

I played cards with them for a while. This kind of entertainment that bullies novices is obviously not very friendly to me. I lost a lot in half an hour. My sister couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to drive me off the table.

When I passed by the living room, Xiaoya was watching TV alone and was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala live. I asked curiously where everyone else had gone. She said she had gone out to play, and some went to hunting on the mountain with my dad. My dad had a hunting rifle. When he came back when he was a child, he often took me to the mountain to hunt hares when he came back.

I smiled and said to her, "It's New Year, I'll give you a gift, but it's not good for them to see it. Why don't you find a place without anyone?"

Very Ah, she smiles

I thought she would go back to the room, but she ran to the roof

Although there is no wind on the winter night, the rooftop is a bit cold and the sky is full of stars, like gems scattered on the curtain, it is also a beautiful night view.

I signaled her to close her eyes, but Xiaoya smiled and said, "Don't be a hooligan to me, I'm speechless. Looking at her naughty expression, I love and pity both my heart and my heart is so good.

But when she opened her eyes and saw the crystal-clear necklace around her neck, her face was still surprised.

Brother, you bought such expensive things again, no, I can't ask for them, Xiaoya said

I held her hand, fool, this is yours, just pretend that I gave it to Lin Lan

But I didn't help you, Xiaoya said

Why do you always want me to be with her? I asked curiously

Because she is a good woman, and she is very compatible with you. Xiaoya said heeshly

You are also a good woman. Are we not a good match together? I said, "Do you want to consider my suggestions?"

What suggestions? Xiaoya is a little curious

As you said, I have bought a car, if the house is...

Brother, what are you saying? Xiaoya saw that I didn’t seem to be joking, she said in surprise

Come with me, I will show you something I said, and then pulled Xiaoya back to my room. I took out a picture album from my bag and handed it to her.

Brother, aren’t you a business in the advertising industry? Why did you start selling houses? Xiaoya flipped through the picture in her hand and said

These are about to open, how about it, do you like it? I asked

All are good Ah, but what's the use of like? I can't afford Ah Xiaoya said

I didn't ask you to buy it, I can almost afford it now

I took a deep breath, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, I have been thinking about it for a long time recently, instead of stumbled around and searching around, but the person I love is around but cannot be together, then what's the point of making so much money?

Are you going to accept Lin Lan? Xiaoya looks at me

No, I have a siege in my heart, and I can't get out of that hurdle, so it's hard for her and I to have a future. She is living a good life now, and I'm not bad at accompanying her. I know that you may feel that I'm not sincere when I say this, but I have to fight for my relationship once. Can you give me some chance and some time?

Xiaoya looked at me, and the smile on her face disappeared little by little

I have decided that tomorrow I will talk to my sister about this and then ask her to talk to my parents. Even if they don’t agree, they will not sacrifice their son’s happiness. As long as the situation is done, there will always be ways to change them. As for your parents, I think I am quite sure.

Do you know what you are talking about? Xiaoya looked at me in shock

I knew this would be very stressful, so I decided to live in Guangzhou in the future. I took a deep breath, my dear, you once said that you wanted me to support you for the rest of your life, but now I am ready, where are you?

You're crazy! Xiaoya screamed, then turned around and ran away

Xiaoya locked herself in the room and didn't come out all night. No matter how I knocked on the door, she never responded.

I was worried that there would be too much trouble, so I could only walk away in disappointment

After taking a cold shower, I thought I would calm down, but my heart was always restless

When I was a child, I went to someone else's house to steal dates because you said you wanted to eat them. I was afraid that my grandma would hide it in the rice jar when I found it. Later, someone came to the door and I was beaten by my grandma. Later, the dates were all rotten in the rice jar. I was beaten by her again. You were still laughing beside you. I hated you Ah at that time, but a few days later, my mother came back, and I forgot it all and left a lot of food for you. It seems that now I always like to show off the bad habit of being a hero in front of you, and I have developed it since I was a child.

I sent it to Xiaoya, but she didn't reply

When I was a child, the boys in your class always called you sweet potatoes because you liked to eat sweet potatoes at that time. Later, I fought with them and knocked off other people's teeth. My parents came to me. Later, I was beaten by my grandma again and you stole my grandma's money and bought me a lot of chocolates. Later, you were beaten by my grandma. Haha, you were so nice to me at that time.

You said you like Maruko's cards, so I wanted to buy it for you, but I didn't have money. My grandma's money was locked up, so I stole a cigarette from my dad and sold it to the town for money. I still remember that cigarette was only exchanged for fifty yuan. At that time, I was thinking about buying Maruko for you, but I didn't think so much about it now. I'm so stupid. No wonder my mother beat me later and her butt was swollen for a few days. You felt sorry for me that time and even kissed me.

Memories kept talking in my mind like opening the floodgates. I remembered every story with Xiaoya, and wrote them down and sent them to Xiaoya. I didn't care that she didn't reply to me. I just wanted to express all my emotions and say everything in my heart to her.

The time when Xiaowen left me was my darkest time, but with you, it was also the happiest time in her life. Later, you said that I could make more money so that I could support you in the next life. During that period, I worked hard and often worked overtime until late at night, just to get a little more bonus every month. Later, after Lin Lan left, the one that could support me was the somewhat childish and ridiculous goal

Now I think about it, I have to thank you for being tired and hard when the company was first established. Every time I almost gave up, I think of you. If Lin Lan made me constantly entangled, then you are the only motivation to persevere. Even without Xiaowen, without Lin Lan, and without the whole world, I know that I have the final support. That time you gave Lin Lan the necklace, I was happy and sad. What was happy is that you always wanted to make me live a happy life, what was sad is that you always escape the happiness I wanted. What was sad is that you always escape the happiness I wanted.
