"I'll marry you!"
Li Xiaowai blocked Li's sister-in-law's way home and faced her.
His thick chest rose and fell nervously, and a wave of hot air erupted from his mouth.
His eyes were a little timid but full of determination and hope.
"Sister-in-law!" He spoke again, speaking very slowly, but expressing the sound of every word, "I will marry you!"
Li's sister-in-law's body trembled violently and she lowered her head, not daring to look into those eager eyes.
She was no longer an ignorant woman. She saw it in the other person's eyes and saw something that went straight to her heart.
The two hands were clasped together and the fingers were moving back and forth.
The wind in the field blew slightly, ruffling the ends of Li's sister-in-law's hair and drying the sweat on Li Xiaowai's forehead.
However, the fire in his heart could not be blown away.
In his life, he has never been so bold.
And after saying these words, he seemed to be possessed, wanting to shout loudly and hold the other person's hand.
"sister in law......"
"Don't!" Just as Li Xiaowai continued to take a step forward, Li's sister-in-law took a half step back in fear and suddenly raised her head.
There was a wry smile in her eyes, and her tone slowly flowed, "Don't make trouble!"
"I...didn't..." Li Xiaowai was anxious.
Because from the other person's short words, he saw an unquestionable rejection.
"Marry me? Do you pity my sister-in-law? Or do you have a sister-in-law in your heart?" Sister-in-law of the Li family smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law knows that you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see us two suffer. What you should do
I have done everything, Dawang is watching in the sky, and he will be grateful to have a brother like you."
"My sister-in-law is a widow, and she is also a widow with children. You are a simple and honest young man, and you should marry a beautiful girl!"
Li Xiaowai said anxiously, "I want my sister-in-law!"
"You are stupid!" Sister-in-law of the Li family smiled again, "Don't say such nonsense that makes people laugh. There are many good women, and I am not good enough for you, sister-in-law. Besides, your family has a high family, and even sister-in-law can't get in, haha
!”
As she said this, she wiped away her fever, smiled slightly, and walked sideways past Xiao Wai.
Li Xiaowai stood there, looking at her back, and then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her.
"release!"
"No!"
"Let go!" Li's sister-in-law struggled to break away, her face as red as an autumn fruit.
She did not turn around, but her tone became very cold and firm, "Don't come here anymore. If you really have a brother Dawang and a sister-in-law in your heart, then don't come. If you come, we two will have a hard time," she said.
Then, after a pause, he said, "We are not from the same place."
"Stop coming. If you insist on coming, my sister-in-law will take the child far away so that you will never find her!"
After saying that, Li's sister-in-law left.
Li Xiaowai stood in the wind and suddenly felt aggrieved. He wanted to cry and defend something loudly.
He opened his mouth in vain, but not only could no sound come out, but the cold wind rushed in and rushed into his chest.
She won't marry him.
He can't marry her.
As a result, he wouldn't be able to see her every day.
He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the other person or whether he really cared about the other person in his heart. But he knew that he would think about it before going to bed at night, think about it when he got up in the morning, think about it while working, and think about it while eating.
miss her!
I miss her cracked palms, her old hairpins, and the warm look in her eyes when she looked at me.
~~~~
The wind in the fields blew unbridled. With the help of the wind, those weeds pulled out by Li Xiaowai fled and hid.
Li Xiaowai lowered his head and walked out of the village step by step.
"Stop coming. If you come again, I will take the child far away so that you cannot see or find him!"
These words were like a knife piercing his heart.
It hurt him so much that he didn't dare to look back.
The alleys in the village are long, and Li Xiaowai's fingers traced the blue brick wall of the yard.
In front, an old man squinted and leaned against the wall to bask in the sun. The wrinkles on his face seemed to bloom in the winter sunshine.
Hearing the footsteps, the old man raised his eyelids slightly, then closed them again.
Li Xiaowai continued to walk forward, and finally mustered up the courage to look back at the entrance of the village.
"Where are you going, young man?" Suddenly, the old man basking in the sun asked.
"go home!"
"It's still early, let's go back home!" The old man smiled silently.
Li Xiaowai said nothing, lowered his head and walked forward.
"Hey, young man!" the old man said again.
Li Xiaowai stopped and turned back in surprise.
"Which woman do you like?" the old man opened a cloudy eye and asked.
Li Xiaowai thought about it and nodded.
"How do you like it?" the old man continued to ask.
"Marry..." Li Xiaowai stammered.
"Don't you agree?" the old man asked, opening both eyes.
"Yeah!" Li Xiaowai lowered his head shyly.
"Beat him!" The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Promise!" As he spoke, his dry lips split open, revealing his toothless gums, and he said vaguely, "You're such a big man, he can't even take down a woman, how can you still
What can you do?"
"I........."
"If you like her, you'll do it!" the old man suddenly shouted, "Is it possible to make cooked rice from raw rice?"
"Ah?" Li Xiaowai was stunned.
"Stupid!" The old man's wrinkles were shaking with anger, "Hug her onto the kang!"
"What are you doing on the kang?"
"Gnaw!" the old man shouted, "gnaw it like a pig's trotters. Once you gnaw her, she will be yours!"
Li Xiaowai thought for a long time, then turned around and said, "Stop laughing at me!"
"Oh, this is cowardly!" The old man sighed and closed his eyes.
Li Xiaowai lowered his head and continued walking forward.
"If you idiot just leaves like this, will you regret it for the rest of your life?" The old man suddenly shouted again.
Suddenly, Li Xiaowai's body stopped.
"If a man behaves like a man, he should grab what he likes!"
"Why, mother, she can't do this, but she can't do that, just throw her on the kang, and everything will work!"
"Without these two moments, you can't be considered a man!"
"If you don't do this, you won't be able to live up to what your parents have given you!"
Suddenly, Li Xiaowai rushed into the village again like the wind.
"This is so decent!" The old man snorted and continued to bask in the sun.
~~~~
The fire in the stove was crackling.
This is the dry firewood that Li Xiaowai sent to Li's sister-in-law in the morning. It is particularly strong.
Li's sister-in-law squatted in front of the stove, looking at the flames, tears gradually falling down her cheeks.
But before it even hit the chin, it was dried by the fire.
Then, she sighed slightly, stood up, and walked to the water tank.
Scoop out water, put in a wet hand towel, bend over and wipe your face carefully.
I wiped it very hard, as if I wanted to wipe away all the pain and torture I had suffered over the years.
Rub it very carefully, not letting go of every inch of the skin's texture.
With a bang, the courtyard door was violently pushed open.
Sister-in-law Li's hand shook and the towel fell into the basin, still bent over.
"sister in law!"
Li Xiaowai came in and looked at his sister-in-law with her raised back.
