Under a unique street lamp hung with bamboo chips, my figure is particularly clear. When a gust of wind blew, those bamboo pieces hit each other "ding ding dong", just like my heartbeat at this time.

I have already half-knelt in front of Xiao Ai in the most determined state of my life, and if she refuses because of the concerns in her heart, I don't know when I will have the courage to do so next time.

Maybe it's because this kind of marriage proposal ceremony on the street is too eye-catching, and soon all kinds of people gathered around me and Xiao Ai, and they figured out what was going on, and they used their mobile phones to record this picture, and Xiao Ai and I were so passive that we became the only couple of heroes and heroines on this night and on this street.

Xiao Ai's breathing was a little short, and she was no longer the one who looked down on the world. I know that in her heart, for so many years, the most important thing she wants to do is to be my wife, but in the past two years, everything that has happened between us has made her have a lot of concerns, so she has always hoped to wait until everything has settled down before considering the big thing of marriage...... Come to think of it, this is the biggest contradiction she is facing at the moment.

But I can't care about that, what I want is her whole person. It's really hard for us, and only being a husband and wife can make me forgive all this I have gone through all these years. So, I handed the ring to her again.

In all kinds of shaking lights, the whole city became virtual, and the only real thing was Xiao Ai's hands. Even the footage that records us is fake.

Finally, Xiao Ai stretched out his right hand to me, and there was a burst of cheers around me, and everyone seemed to be contaminated with the joy of us, and some of them were enthusiastic, and took the initiative to talk to us about blessings.

Then, I brought the extremely heavy ring to Xiao Ai's hand, and Xiao Ai pulled me up.

I clenched my fists and said to the melon-eating crowd around me: "I am especially grateful to everyone for watching, but now I am going to go to the supermarket with my daughter-in-law to buy groceries, uncles and aunts, can you make a way for us to get out?" ”

Someone shouted: "Brother, pretend to force me to obey you, you are really buying vegetables, and you asked for marriage by the way, and in the end you really begged for it!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and then they took the initiative to make way for us, and just as Xiao Ai and I were about to leave, there were still many people talking about Xiao Ai's beauty, and then cast envious glances at me. But I can swear that what I love is not her face, but the feeling of being dependent on each other when we are in trouble together...... I still remember the way she walked into the old alley, intentionally or unintentionally, for me, every time was a kind of new life, and from that time on, I was waiting for her to go in my life.

……

Leaving the street, the waves stirred up by the proposal gradually receded, and we enjoyed the security of every street lamp like a pair of ordinary lovers.

Xiao Ai seemed a little tired, she pulled me to a bench on the side of the street, and then kindly took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag to quench my thirst. After I finished drinking, she naturally drank the remaining half of the bottle of water, which is normal for other couples, but for us, it has great significance, because the ice that trapped us is slowly melting with our joint efforts, and our dawn is coming.

On the wooden bench, Xiao Ai and I sat shoulder to shoulder, I kissed her forehead and cheek, she gently hugged my waist, and then whispered in my ear: "When I sang to my aunt today, I don't know why, a lot of pictures and words popped out of my head...... I think if you don't bother me tonight, I'll be able to fill in the lyrics of that song in one night! ”

I looked at her and remembered the song she used to play to me. She said that the song was written to commemorate Yuan Zhen, who will always live in her heart; She also said that if one day she could fill in the lyrics for the song, she would come out of that dark life. And for me, her inspiration came just right, and it was time for us to welcome a new life, because she had just agreed to my marriage proposal.

I asked her, "Why do you suddenly feel inspired when you sing to my mother?" ”

Xiao Ai thought for a while and replied: "Maybe it has something to do with the thoughts expressed in the song that I sang to her, my thinking was very negative before, so it seems to be stuck in the quagmire, no matter how I write it, I can't find hope in this lyrics...... You say, I can't write songs out of despair, but today I suddenly felt enlightened...... I think I can write about a sunny day! …… Ha ha. ”

Xiao Ai said as he gestured with his hand to make a radiant appearance, and then lay on my shoulder and laughed...... And I was infected by her emotions, but more distressed, I know that it has rained in her heart for too long, and now it is finally clear, how can she be unhappy? …… At this moment, she is really like a sunflower, quietly exuding the hottest temperature in her heart.

I hugged her a little tighter and whispered in her ear, "When do you want us to register our marriage, and the wedding...... Although it is a formality, I think it is more important. ”

Xiao Ai looked at me, and I looked at her, especially wanting her to know the urgency in my heart.

After a while, she finally spoke to me and said, "Jiang Qiao, I don't want to wait too long for that day, but I can't just end the marriage right away...... We'll have to wait at least until my aunt is discharged from the hospital in good health...... What do you think? ”

I nodded, agreeing with Xiao Ai's statement, because I also hope that we can complete the most sacred thing of marriage in an environment where we can all be happy.

……

After buying all the ingredients for tomorrow's cooking at the supermarket, Xiao Ai and I walked in the direction of the hospital. When I passed the street where I had proposed to her a moment earlier, those faces were gone, replaced by a crowd of idlers wandering around looking for something to see.

Yes, on such a hot summer night, beer and pastime are the most important thing.

At first, I didn't notice it, but Xiao Ai stopped, and I realized that in the place where I just proposed, there were several more stalls, one of which was selling handicrafts, looking at his very dark appearance, most of them came from Yunnan, and the handicrafts he sold were also very characteristic of Yunnan.

Xiao Ai squatted down next to his stall, then picked up a car perfume and chatted with him. After inquiry, this vendor really came from Lijiang, Yunnan.

I handed him a cigarette, and my feelings couldn't help but be complicated, because that place in Lijiang made me sad and desperate, but also gave me a new life. I will never forget that it was there that Chen Yi and I completely ended our relationship, and the relationship with Xiao Ai seems to have sprouted from that place.

Xiao Ai bought a bottle of car perfume from the hand of the young man from Yunnan, then shook it in front of me and asked me, "Jiangqiao, do you remember?" We once met an uncle who made handicrafts in Lijiang. ”

I nodded, and then replied with a fluttering eyebrow: "Of course I remember, he said that when we have children, we must go to Lijiang again, and he will give us a more valuable handicraft!" ”

Xiao Ai looked at me and smiled, and then asked, "There will be a day, right?" ”

My mood suddenly sank, because Xiao Ai and I had really had a child, if it hadn't been for that accident. Such a picture should have been realized more than a year ago, but now it is ......

The next moment, Xiao Ai seemed to think of it, her mood also sank, and then stared at a child who was still in the trolley not far away for a long time, her eyes were moist, and it was her heart that wanted to be a mother!

I gently took her hand, then clenched it again, and when she came to her senses, I wiped away her tears, smiled and said, "There will be a day, we will hold one in our hands, one on our backs, and another in our pockets...... I have to make the uncle cry, he doesn't want to send us away, we are not so easy to fool! ”

"How did that one in your pocket get in?"

"You wear a Harem suspenders, those pants are ......"

"It's not serious...... Our children are made of straw bales, and they can be stuffed into their trouser pockets! Xiao Ai said and slammed my back, almost missing my lungs, and I just laughed while coughing, but I really longed for this picture in my heart...... When I say put it in my trouser pocket, I'm talking nonsense, but I can really push it in the trolley at once, effortlessly!

Before I could stop laughing, my phone rang in my handbag, and I took it out and looked at it, and my smile froze instantly. Because, this call was made by Zhao Mu, and in my memory, he hadn't called me for such an idle thing as eating and drinking for a long time. Every time he looks for me, or I look for him, there is a very heavy feeling between the two of us, so we who are aware of each other's this, we hardly have much contact.

I answered the phone after a moment of shaking and waited for him to speak first.

Zhao Mu said to me in a low voice: "Brother Qiao, I heard that Aunt Yang is hospitalized in the tumor hospital, I want to go and see her, can you tell me her ward number?" I have time now, and I'm already going from the group to the hospital. ”

Of course, I couldn't refuse such a thing, so I told him the ward number. He hung up the phone after a few comforting words to me, while I stood there for a long time, and my feelings were a little complicated, especially after I successfully proposed to Xiao Ai...... I know how deep his obsession with Xiao Ai is in his heart, and he vaguely feels that he got rid of Yu Xin, who has been with him for several years, just to prepare for the pursuit of Xiao Ai......

In a daze, Xiao Ai patted my arm, and then asked me, "Who called you?" ”

Zhao Mu ...... He said he was going to see my mom and was on his way to the hospital now. ”

Xiao Ai looked at me, but did not choose to respond to this matter...... I know that compared to me, her relationship with Zhao Mu is more delicate. Because, to some extent, she is Zhao Mu's boss at the moment. In the days when she returned to "Jinding Real Estate", she should have had a lot of contact with Zhao Mu, but I believe that she is a woman who can separate work and life. But what about later? On this special occasion in the hospital, what kind of attitude will she choose to use to face Zhao Mu?
