Brother Xu kept kissing her and said, "My dear little sister, we may be busier next month and may have less time to come back."

Brother Xu nodded, but he immediately said again, "Otherwise, you will live in our house, so that no matter what, every time I come back with a group, we can still be together." Besides, I'm very tired every time I come back from outside, so I don't have to rush to your side anymore. ”

Wen Li held Brother Xu's face, and found that Brother Xu's face was a little darker than last time, and he had also lost a lot of weight, so she said distressedly, "My dear Elder Brother, I listen to you, as long as I can see you and be with you, let me do anything." I'm just afraid that grandma and grandma won't agree. The Guilin tour guide said gratefully, "As long as you agree, I will do the work of my grandmother and grandma." ”

A week or two later, the Guilin tour guide came back in a small car and brought back many fresh gifts from Taiwan, including durian, pineapples and some food. The family is very happy, taste this, taste that.

At this time, the Guilin tour guide said to his grandmother and grandma, "Grandma, grandma, there is something I want to discuss with you." Grandma nodded and said, "You say so." The Guilin tour guide said, "Recently, I have always led groups abroad, I am very busy, and I rarely have time to come back, so I want Wen Li to live in our house for a while, and then let Wen Li come back after this busy time, do you think it's okay?" ”

Grandma was eating pineapples, and when she heard the Guilin tour guide say this, her face immediately became gloomy, and she said, "I don't have any opinions, but our Dong family's customs will not agree." So saying, he threw the half-eaten pineapple on the table, got up and went back to his room.

Seeing that her grandmother was cold, Wen Li turned her eyes to her grandmother for help. But Grandma not only didn't give her a good face, but objected to Brother Xu and said, "We didn't agree that you and our family Wen Li were in love, but seeing that the two of you were inseparable, and Wen Li was so stubborn and stubborn, we agreed, but, what kind of life are you living?" You are so busy all day that you don't touch your house, let Wen Li stay alone in an empty room, when will this day be over? With that, he stood up, walked towards his house, and said angrily to Brother Xu, "Why can't our family Wen Li say that I can't go to live in your house, you see if you can live this day, and if you can't live, you will disperse." ”

Grandma and Grandma left the hall, and Abba was the only one at the table to accompany them. At this time, it was already dark, and everyone had not eaten. In order to ease the atmosphere, Abba brought the prepared meal to the table and asked Brother Xu and Wen Li to eat it. However, Brother Xu shook his hand very sadly and said that he had to rush back to Guilin immediately, because he would have to take a group to Thailand early tomorrow morning.

Out of the gate of Wen Li's house, Brother Xu said apologetically to Abba who saw him off, "I really didn't expect my grandmother and grandma to be so angry." Abba explained, "The Dong family has a custom that daughters are not allowed to go to the door of the man's house, nor can they stay in the man's house. Otherwise, you will be subject to rumors and rumors, and others will look down on you. Brother Xu said in a very aggrieved tone, "But I just asked Wen Li to live in my house for a while, how much does it matter?" Besides, Wen Li is my person herself. Abba Wenli corrected and said, "But you are not married yet, and even if you are married, you cannot live in your house." Hearing this, Brother Xu nodded helplessly and sighed.

When the two walked to the car parked under the pergola together, Wen Li took the hand of the Guilin tour guide and said reluctantly, "You said you were going to stay with me well tonight." Brother Xu sighed and said, "I also want to be with you, but your grandmother and your grandmother are like this, why do you think I can stay at your house?" Seeing that Brother Xu was so discouraged and depressed, Wen Li said distressedly, "Do you regret it, shouldn't you follow me?" ”

Brother Xu shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. Wen Li still held Brother Xu's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "I finally look forward to your return, you shouldn't talk about this kind of thing." Brother Xu smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't talk about this today, I will still say it in the future, and I can't avoid it." As he spoke, he put his arms around Wen Li's waist and neck, kissed her on the lips, and said, "I'm sorry, my dear sister, I can't accompany you tonight." Seeing that Brother Xu was about to leave, Wen Li was already in tears, she sobbed and asked worriedly, "I wonder when Brother will come again?" Brother Xu said, "I'll call you then." As he spoke, he waved his hand at Wen Li, opened the car door, and entered the car door. Watching the black sedan gradually depart in the night, a sense of foreboding rose in Wen Li's heart.

As expected, Brother Xu did not come back for two weeks. Wen Li began to call twice, but Brother Xu said that he was in the field, and later, Wen Li called twice, and the Guilin tour guide was turned off. Wen Li thought that Brother Xu was blocking her breath and refused to answer her call, so she was very sad and angry. However, the more she couldn't get through to his call, the more she wanted to know why. So, she kept fighting, but the phone was still turned off. She was so angry that when she got back to her room, she dropped her phone on the table, then collapsed on the bed and began to cry silently.

She didn't call him again for days, and she didn't receive a call from him. It's something they've never done before. In the past, she called him once or twice a day, and he called her almost every night, even if it was an inconsequential remark or two. However, now he not only did not call her for several days, but even turned off his mobile phone. How does this keep her from being sad and angry?

However, she didn't want her sisters to know about this kind of thing, and felt that it was a very shameful thing. Therefore, whenever a sister asks about this, she always puts on a smiling face and makes the sisters have to believe it.
