After walking through the mass graves, Ling Xiaowei was still a little scared. There was no one on the road, which made it even more scary! Suddenly she remembered what Shi Mingwei had said to her. He said that those buried in the mass graves were all revolutionary martyrs.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiaowei felt less scared again.
But...she hasn't seen Shi Mingwei for several days! Why has he been there these days?
"Tsk! Why do you want this little bastard!" Ling Xiaowei muttered to herself.
When they arrived at Xiaowei Village, the road was full of people going out to enjoy the cool weather. Ling Xiaowei asked someone and soon found Qi Lei's house.
I knew that Qi Lei's family was poor, but I didn't expect to be so poor. The rickety adobe house with low eaves. Although the house was very dilapidated, the front of the house was very clean, with neat vegetable plots and puddles.
, very orderly.
Qi Lei's mother is so amazing! She is such a good woman, a little expert in life, but why did her husband abandon her?
After sighing, Ling Xiaowei smiled to herself again. She was not such a good woman in her previous life. She was not miserable in the end. Oh! What do you want to do?
"Is there anyone at home?" Ling Xiaowei shouted to the screened door.
An impatient shout came from inside the house: "Who is it?" Following the shout, the gauze curtain opened, and the person who walked out was Qi Lei's brother, Qi Kun.
When Qi Kun saw Ling Xiaowei, he was slightly startled and said in a very unkind tone: "It's you! What's the matter with coming to my house?"
"I came to see Qi Yue. Is she at home?" Ling Xiaowei said.
"You're not here to find my brother! Qi Yue is in the field behind, go find her!" Qi Kun said angrily, then turned around and went back to the house.
Why did Qi Lei fall in love with such a brother? Ling Xiaowei curled her lips and ran to the fields behind. As expected, she saw Qi Lei's mother, Qi Lei and Qi Yue busy in the fields.
"Qi Yue!" Ling Xiaowei shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Sister Xiaowei!" Qi Yue waved and shouted happily.
When Qi Lei saw it was Ling Xiaowei, his heart skipped a beat and he was very happy. He did not wave and shout like Qi Yue did, but suppressed his joy very reservedly and quietly.
When the three of them landed, Ling Xiaowei explained their intention.
Qi Lei's mother was very happy and said thanks: "Xiaowei, thank you so much for making this trip so late."
"Auntie, you're welcome. The quality of the things you make is really good, and you helped me." Ling Xiaowei gave her hairpins, a total of one hundred.
"It's not urgent this time. I have half a month to make it. Qi Yue, Auntie, I will trouble you for this batch of goods." Ling Xiaowei said.
After explaining the matter, the sky became drowsy. She wanted to go back while there was still a little light in the sky.
"I'm going back first. If anything happens to Qi Yue, come to my house and ask me." Ling Xiaowei asked Qi Yue.
After saying that, she turned around and left. Behind her, Qi Lei's mother suddenly shouted: "Xiaowei, wait a moment."
Ling Xiaowei asked questions and turned to look at Qi Lei's mother. She saw Qi Lei's mother saying to Qi Lei: "Go see Xiaowei off. It's so dark and it's not safe for the little girl to walk at night."
Qi Lei nodded and responded cheerfully: "Yes, I understand." After saying that, he said to Ling Xiaowei: "Ling Xiaowei, I'll give it to you."
"Oh! Okay!" Ling Xiaowei agreed with a smile.
She was really relieved that Qi Lei saw her off.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the horizon is a deep blue, the villages seem to be covered with thick ink, and the artistic conception is profound.
Ling Xiaowei and Qi Lei walked one behind the other, keeping a pace apart.
In the river ponds along the road, frogs were croaking non-stop. A night like this was suitable for enjoying such tranquility. Ling Xiaowei didn't say anything, and neither did Qi Lei. They walked quietly through the mass graves and reached the bridge for two days.
Qi Lei wanted to speak to Ling Xiaowei several times, but after opening his mouth several times, he felt uneasy and didn't know what to say.
Sometimes he deliberately stopped and let Ling Xiaowei walk in front of him, and then secretly looked at Ling Xiaowei's back. In the clear night, Ling Xiaowei's back was hazy, far and near, making Qi Lei feel happy again.
Sad.
"Qi Lei, why are you behind the aisle again? Are you scared?" Ling Xiaowei stopped again and waited for Qi Lei.
"No, I'm not afraid!" Qi Lei said happily.
Ling Xiaowei took the initiative to talk to him.
Finally I got home, and I could see the dim light coming from the two windows at the back of the house.
In the night, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Qi Lei's face. Taking advantage of the night, he secretly and boldly glanced at Ling Xiaowei, nodded and said, "Well, then go back quickly!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something!" Ling Xiaowei called to Qi Lei, who was about to turn around and leave.
Qi Lei's heart skipped a beat, she was going to give him something! Qi Lei began to have all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, and a small heart thumped in his chest.
Ling Xiaowei quickly ran into the room, took the flashlight from the table in the hall, then rushed out, handed the flashlight to Qi Lei's hand, and said: "You take this, it's dark, you take it
Light the way."
Although the sky is full of stars, this summer night is really dark and it’s so dark that you can’t even see!
Ling Xiaowei's cool hand gently passed over Qi Lei's hand. Qi Lei was slightly startled, panicked by the sweeping touch just now. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a flashlight!
Qi Lei was so panicked that he forgot to say good night to Ling Xiaowei, took a flashlight, lowered his head and ran away without looking back.
"I ran so fast, and I was so eager to go home!" Ling Xiaowei smiled.
After returning to the hut, she took a shower and put on her pajamas. Ling Xiaowei returned to the main room.
In the main room, there was a mat on the floor. He was clearly nibbling pears. When he saw Ling Xiaowei coming in, he held up the pears in his hand and said, "Sister, pears are sweet!"
"Okay Mingming, can you give me a bite for your sister?" Ling Xiaowei teased Mingming.
Ming Ming nodded and handed the pear to Ling Xiaowei's mouth.
Ling Xiaowei felt happy in her heart, rubbed Mingming's head, and said happily: "Sister, I really don't love you in vain. You can eat the pears by yourself, you can't share the pears!"
Although he didn't quite understand, he hugged the pear and continued to chew it.
"Your Aunt Xiu brought these pears over. She has a pear tree at home. They are very sweet. There are some on the table. Xiaowei, take some and eat them yourself." Zhang Cuifen pointed to the pears on the table and said.
"Well, I'll eat it later!" Ling Xiaowei said.
Zhang Cuifen was sewing flowers on her head, and her father was fanning Zhang Cuifen and Mingming.
Ling Xiaowei took out the iron box from the room and took out all the money.
Zhang Cuifen put down her work and looked at the box full of money in surprise.
"This is the income for the past six months. It should be two thousand. Let me count it and take all the money with me tomorrow." Ling Xiaowei said while counting the money.
Put the one hundred bills together, put the fifty bills together, the twenty bills, the ten yuan bills...
On the mat in front of me, there was a pile in a circle. After counting, there were more than two thousand three hundred in total.
