The next morning, Wen Li took a three-day leave to take a tour bus to Guilin. Sisters such as Pen &www.biquge.info Fun & Pavilion Yuhua and Yuxiu also sat under the pergola and waited to see her off, and taught her how to deal with the ungrateful Han brother.

At nine o'clock, a bus came and stopped on the grass in front of the pergola. A young female tour guide holding a small blue flag of "Lijiang International" got off the bus and beckoned the passengers to get off the bus and gather. Yuhua said to Wen Li, "You see that tour guide is from the same company as Brother Xu." As he spoke, without waiting for Wen Li to stop him, he walked over to the female tour guide and asked, "Do you know Brother Xu Yalong Xu?" The female guide said, "Of course we know, we are a company, and we had dinner together the day before yesterday." Yuhua said, "He fell in love with our sister Wen Li here, but now he has changed his mind." The female guide said, "No way, the girlfriend he is looking for is the docent of the Reed Flute Rock, she is young and beautiful, and we sang together last week." ”

Hearing this, Wen Li felt dizzy, but she still walked over and asked the tour guide, "Did you say that the docent named Li Yujie was?" The tour guide looked surprised and said, "How do you know?" Do you know her? Wen Li nodded and said, "She has trained us." The tour guide seemed to recognize Wen Li and said, "You are that Wen Li's sister?" Wen Li nodded silently. The tour guide kindly took Lawenli's hand and said, "Ah, you Dong people also have such a beautiful sister." However, she said to Wen Li in a very serious tone, "I said Ah Mei, you have to face the reality and forget your Brother Xu, I know the customs of your Dong family, you can't marry to live in Guilin, and he can't come to live with you, and besides, he is really in love with that commentator." Wen Li lowered her head, and her heart ached, as if she had been slashed by a knife.

Hearing this, the sisters condemned and scolded Brother Xu one after another as if they had blown up a pot, blaming him for being too irresponsible, and should not have seduced the young and simple Wen Li, so that she could fall into the quagmire of feelings and could not extricate herself. Wen Li suddenly felt that there was darkness in front of her, and her whole life suddenly lost all the meaning of existence. She sat down on the bench for a while, holding back the tears that did not fall from her eyes, and then, to the sisters around her, who persuaded her, said, "I want to go back and rest for a while." Yuhua asked with concern, "You're not going to Guilin anymore?" She looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "No." So saying, he left the pergola pitifully and walked towards his home.

When I got home, Abba was cooking in the kitchen, and when she came back, she was very surprised and said, "Why are you back?" Wen Li burst into tears and said, "He already has a girlfriend, the young and beautiful docent who trained us, working at Reed Flute Rock." When Abba heard this, he was so angry that he immediately knocked a bottle of soy sauce to the ground with a punch, and his teeth rattled for a long time before he said, "Give me your phone, and I'll call him." Wen Li shook her head and said, "His phone has long been down." But she gave her phone to Abba anyway. Abba pulled out the phone, and the prompt to turn off the phone still came. Abba returned the phone to Wen Li, sighed for a long time, and asked, "Do you still love him?" Wen Li just wiped her tears, but refused to answer.

Wen Li didn't eat at noon, didn't go to work, and stayed upstairs almost all day. In the evening, she felt hungry and panicked, so she wanted to go downstairs to eat. At this time, she saw her grandmother cooking, so she asked, "Where's Abba?" "Because usually Abba cooks at home. Grandma said, "He went back to his hometown in Henan." Wen Li was puzzled and said, "Why did he go back to his hometown?" She was under the impression that Abba had never left here. Grandma also shook her head and said, "Who knows, he said that his grandma is no longer good, and I want to meet him." Then, Grandma said to her in a deep voice, "Grandma knows that you love Brother Xu in Guilin, but he is from the city and Han nationality, how can he live with us?" As she spoke, Grandma took her in her arms and said, "My poor Ali, you are Grandma's heart and daughter, and you are also the heirloom of our family." Grandma's biggest wish in this life is to make you happy. Wen Li said emotionally, "I know that Grandma is for my good." ”

Grandma said again, "You are good in all aspects, although you are not as alive and rich as Brother Xu, but it is your duty, it is real, I can stay by your side all day long, and I will not deceive you." When he comes to the door, the two of you can live a good life, and your grandmother and I will be relieved. Wen Li nodded silently and said, "Grandma, I listen to you." Grandma smiled and said, "Grandma likes obedient Ali." ”

Because my grandmother was worried that Wen Li's pregnancy would be known to outsiders, she urged her aunt to let Shunzheng pass over as soon as possible, so the two families were busy sending off and welcoming relatives. Although Wen Li doesn't love Shunzheng, she has already agreed to her grandmother and grandma, and after experiencing the torture of this relationship with Brother Xu, she is already depressed and disheartened, and no longer has too many illusions about love. However, everything is done by my grandmother and grandma, she just goes to work and doesn't care about anything else.

On this day, it rained all day, and in the rainy days of late autumn, it got dark very quickly. Therefore, Wen Li went home from work very early. After eating, he went back to his upstairs room. Few people in Dong village have televisions, so women usually embroider flowers at night and then blow out the lamp and go to bed.

It was raining heavily outside, mixed with lightning and thunder from time to time. Because her heart has been upset, Wen Li is not interested in embroidery, so she blew out the oil lamp early and went to sleep in the bed. In fact, she couldn't sleep at all, and there were too many troubles in her mind and heart that disturbed her. Therefore, she can only use reason to slowly smooth it out.

At some point, she seemed to be delusional and heard someone shouting, "Wen Li, I love you." "And there seemed to be knocking and slamming on the door. The shouting voice was very familiar, like Brother Xu's voice, but she felt that it was too impossible, thinking that she was dreaming, so she continued to fall asleep in a daze.

However, the shouting continued, as did the slamming and knocking. When the thunder and rain were a little quieter, I listened carefully and saw that someone was indeed shouting downstairs. So, she didn't care about getting dressed, so she opened the window and looked out. Seeing that it was pitch black outside, through the light of a bolt of lightning, she clearly saw that the person was Brother Xu. He was standing in the heavy rain, holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, and shouted loudly into the window, "Wen Li, my beloved Ali, I love you." However, his voice was soon drowned out by a series of lightning and thunder.

Wen Li's heart was shaken all of a sudden, thinking that Brother Xu had been drenched in the rain and would freeze and get sick. So, she hurriedly put on her cloak and was about to go out to open the door for him. Although she had a lot of grievances against him, she still didn't want him to get drenched in the rain. However, when she opened the door, she found that the ladder downstairs had been removed.

So she shouted, "Abba, Abba." But my grandmother stuck out of the doorway downstairs and said, "Your grandfather has gone back to his hometown." So she pleaded with her grandmother, "Please, grandmother, give me the ladder." But Grandma said in a strong tone, "I tell you, you are not allowed to see him tonight." He didn't hurt you hard enough, did he? ”

When she saw her grandmother's attitude, she called her grandmother in a loud voice, but she also came out of the house and said to her in a warning tone, "You are not allowed to come down, let him call outside." If he can't shout, he will naturally leave. So saying, he went into the house and put out the light.

It was pitch black downstairs, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Wen Li was so anxious that she cried, but there was nothing she could do. At that moment, however, she saw a dark figure climb into the courtyard from the wall next to the kitchen, and then moved the ladder against the side of the hall. Although Wen Li didn't see the appearance of that person clearly, she could guess that this person was her beloved Abba. It turned out that Abba did not go back to his hometown in Henan, but went to Guilin without telling his grandmother and grandmother.

Wen Li hurriedly descended the ladder to the hall. She was about to call Abba gratefully, but Abba gently shushed her not to alarm Grandma and Grandma, and led her to open the door quietly. As soon as Wen Li went out, she saw Brother Xu drenched in the rain in front of the door. Seeing Wen Li come out, Brother Xu pleaded in a very guilty and distressed tone, "Please forgive me, my dear Ali." ”

Looking at the pitiful and distressing appearance of the elder brother she loved, the grievances and resentments that had been pouring into her heart for many days suddenly poured into her heart, and she said, "How could you abandon me so ruthlessly." As he spoke, he covered his face and cried out loud.

Brother Xu explained apologetically, "Actually, I love you very much, but I can't stand running both sides all the time, so when Li Yujie expressed his affection for me, I wavered." However, I know that the person I truly love is you, my dear Ali. When I heard Abba say that you were pregnant and had suffered a lot, I was ashamed and regretted. Please forgive me, Sister. I will make it up to you with double my love. ”

Wen Li suddenly threw herself into Brother Xu's arms, and said with joy and sadness, "If you haven't come for so long, I don't think you can live anymore." The Guilin tour guide hugged Wen Li tightly and said, "I'm sorry, my dear one. As he spoke, he kept kissing her.

Seeing the two kissing in the rain, Abba said, "Ali, don't let your brother Xu get cold, take him upstairs." Wen Li hurriedly nodded to Abba, and was about to take Brother Xu upstairs, but she said to Abba worriedly, "What about you?" Abba said, "I'm going back to the house." Wen Li said, "I'm afraid that Grandma will make you kneel on the washboard." Abba smiled and said, "As long as my Ali is happy, Abba is happy even if he kneels on the nail." Wen Li waved her hand to Abba and said, "Abba, you are so good." Abba said, "Go upstairs." So, Wen Li took her beloved Brother Xu up to the embroidery building.
