At this time, Li Xiulan completely let go of her pride and became pitiful in front of Xia Ai.

Li Xiulan was already good-looking, but at this time her eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she had a white face, looking quite cute.

Xia Aidang clenched his fists and tried to pretend to be calm, "Comrade Li Xiulan, I think I have made it clear enough, we have no relationship, please don't come to me again in the future." ”

"Love the party, don't treat me like this, I know it's wrong, I was wrong before." Li Xiulan's tone was pitiful, "I won't be like that again in the future, will you give me another chance?" ”

Many people around looked at Li Xiulan with a touch of disgust, this era is still relatively conservative, a woman is stubbornly entangled with a man, in the eyes of many people, she is a little dead-skinned, and she is willing to be cheap.

But Li Xiulan can't take care of a lot anymore, she just wants to save Xia Ai's heart now, as long as Xia Ai's party can continue to be with her, she doesn't care about what others say.

Xia Aidang stood up a little irritably, picked up his lunch box, and looked at Li Xiulan who was crying calmly, "This is impossible, Comrade Li Xiulan, don't come to me again in the future." ”

After Xia Aidang finished speaking, he took his lunch box and turned around and left the cafeteria.

The people who were eating in the cafeteria, seeing this scene, the man was fine, although his evaluation of Li Xiulan had been lowered a lot in his heart, but he was embarrassed to laugh at a girl, and some women laughed in a low voice without any scruples.

Li Xiulan couldn't hold back any longer, and ran out of the cafeteria crying, she didn't understand, she was already so low, why did Xia Aidang still refuse to forgive her?

After Li Xiulan got off work in the afternoon, she went to the office of Xia Ai Dang, but she didn't expect Xia Ai Dang to leave first.

Sister Meng looked at Li Xiulan, who came to find Xia Ai's party, and sneered, "Now that you know that you regret it?" It's late, a good young man like the love party, there are more girls who want to marry him. ”

"I didn't know how to cherish it before, but now it's too late for you to regret it." After Sister Meng finished speaking, she snorted lightly, turned her head and left.

Li Xiulan glared at Sister Meng's back hatefully, and then walked out of the factory, but she didn't expect to meet Guo Huai, who was waiting for him at the gate of the factory, Guo Huai greeted Li Xiulan with a smile, "Xiulan, let's go home together, I'll send you." ”

Li Xiulan said impatiently, "If you go away, I won't need you to send it." ”

After speaking, thinking of the insult he received today, he glared at Guo Huai with hatred, "It's all because of you that I love the party and ignore me, you really hate it to death." ”

After Li Xiulan finished speaking, she left in stride, leaving Guo Huai with a gloomy face, staring closely at the back of Li Xiulan leaving, not knowing what she was thinking about?

After Li Xiulan returned home, Wu Caifeng, Li Xiulan's mother, who was sweeping the yard, saw Li Xiulan coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiulan, are you back, is the money coming?" ”

Li Xiulan was depressed, listened to Wu Caifeng's words, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Mom, what money do you want?" ”

Wu Caifeng glared at Li Xiulan and said angrily, "Of course it's that Xia officer's money." ”

"Didn't you say that most of the monthly salary paid by that Xia Officer will be given to you in the future, isn't it equivalent to giving it to your mother, bring it quickly, in two days, I will ask the matchmaker to tell your eldest brother a daughter-in-law."

Listening to Wu Caifeng's words, Li Xiulan was a little dumbfounded for a while, Wu Caifeng saw that Li Xiulan didn't speak, and immediately frowned unhappily, "What's the matter, reluctant?" ”

Li Xiulan hurriedly shook her head and said, "No." ”

Wu Caifeng sighed and said, "Xiulan, don't you forget, how did you get this job?" ”

"Your job was given to you by your eldest brother, without your eldest brother giving you this job, you are now a rural girl, you are nothing, you must not forget your eldest brother's kindness."

Wu Caifeng patted his thigh as he said, "You have climbed the high branch now, and after marrying that Xia Officer in the future, you will definitely have a good life, but you can't forget your eldest brother." ”

"Your eldest brother is the pillar of the family, your father and I are counting on your eldest brother to provide for us, now your eldest brother is so old, he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, and he has children of the same age, you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry to be a mother."

Li Xiulan's face was red when she was said, and she hurriedly said, "Mom, I haven't forgotten." ”

Wu Caifeng was satisfied, and spread his hands, "Since you haven't forgotten, then hurry up and give me the money." ”

Li Xiulan's own salary is only a dozen yuan in total, and on the day she first paid her salary, she gave Wu Caifeng ten yuan, and the remaining few yuan was her food expenses for that month.

So Li Xiulan is so poor that she can only eat multigrain steamed buns with pickles, and she can't afford to eat anything else, otherwise she will starve to death before the end of the month, but Li Xiulan only has those few dollars on her now, where does she have the money to give Wu Caifeng.

Wu Caifeng saw that Li Xiulan was still stunned, so she was a little angry and said, "Big girl, do you still recognize me as a mother?" ”

Li Xiulan saw that Wu Caifeng was angry, and said hurriedly, "Mom, what are you talking about, how can I disown you?" ”

"Since you think I'm your mother, give me the money quickly."

Li Xiulan was forced to have no choice, so she could only say helplessly, "Mom, I don't have any money for you." ”

"No money?" Wu Caifeng didn't believe it, "Big girl, you said that as long as Officer Xia paid his salary, he would give you half of the salary, so did Officer Xia lie to you?" ”

After Wu Caifeng finished speaking, he frowned again and said, "No, didn't that Xia officer give you money last month?" Why didn't you give it this month? ”

Wu Caifeng must get to the bottom of it, Li Xiulan had no choice but to say, "I broke up with him, of course he won't give me the money." ”

"What?" Wu Caifeng exclaimed, looking at Li Xiulan with a fool-like gaze, "What did you just say?" You broke up with that Xia officer? ”

Li Xiulan nodded.

Wu Caifeng just wanted to scold, but he couldn't help it, and asked first, "Is that Xia Gan going to break up with you in advance?" Does he dislike you for having a bad background and thinks that you are a country girl and unworthy of him? ”

Li Xiulan shook her head and said, "No, I snubbed him first, and then he broke up with me." ”

"What?" When Wu Caifeng heard this, she almost fainted.

Stretched out his finger and poked Li Xiulan's head hard, hating iron and steel, "You're crazy, you can't even look down on a man with such good conditions, what do you want to do this girl?" Do you want to find a mud leg in the village? ”

Wu Caifeng's chest rose and fell violently, covering his chest with one hand, and pointing at Li Xiulan with the other and scolding, "Big girl, you have only been to school for a few years, you can recognize a few words, people are recruiting workers in factories but high school students, if it weren't for your eldest brother, do you think you can get that good job?" ”

"Director Xia's family is a high-ranking cadre who sits in the office, and he can take a fancy to you, that's your blessing, and you still have to pick and choose?"

Li Xiulan couldn't help crying when she saw that her mother was about to hit her with her hand, "Mom, I already regret it, but it's too late." ”

"You stupid girl." Wu Caifeng grabbed Li Xiulan's shoulders tightly, met Li Xiulan's gaze, and said in a ruthless tone, "That Xia Officer was so good to you before, he must still like you in his heart, I don't care what method you use, you must get back together with him, otherwise I won't recognize you." ”

Li Xiulan also looked distressed, "Mom, I've already looked for him, and I begged him in a low way, but he said that it was impossible between us, so I don't want to go to him again in the future, Mom, what do you think I should do?" ”

?“ Ouch, I'm really going to be by you. ”

"What a good marriage, you have lost it yourself, why are you so unlucky?"

Wu Caifeng slapped Li Xiulan's back twice to get angry, and said, "Man, you love face, you snubbed him, he is angry in his heart, you go and beg him more, don't you just do it." ”

Li Xiulan bit her lip, nodded and said, "I know." ”

Wu Caifeng glared at Li Xiulan again and said, "You, you are the character of the young lady and the life of the maid." ”

After Wu Caifeng finished speaking, he turned his head and went back to the house in a huff.

In the evening, Li Xiulan's father, Li Guoqiang, was also unhappy when he learned that Li Xiulan and Xia Ai's party had dispersed.

You must know that last month, Li Xiulan asked for more than 20 yuan from Xia Aidang and gave it to Wu Caifeng, if he could ask for more than 20 yuan from Xia Aidang every month, why would his eldest son not be able to find a daughter-in-law?

Even if Li Xiulan and Xia Aidang get married in the future, Xia Aidang is the son of a high-ranking cadre, and he has a father who is a big official, so he will definitely be able to take more money back to his parents' house in the future, what a good thing, it was ruined by Li Xiulan.

Li Xiulan couldn't hold her head up in the face of the accusations of everyone in the family.

The next day, as soon as Xia Aidang walked to the door of the office, he saw Li Xiulan waiting at the door.

Xia Aidang frowned and wanted to turn around and leave, but the time for work was approaching, so he could only move forward.

Li Xiulan's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Aidang, and she was immediately surprised, "Ai Dang, you are here." ”

After Li Xiulan finished speaking, she ran to Xia Aidang's side, looked at Xia Aidang with affection in her eyes, and then took out two eggs from her pocket, and said to Xia Aidang with a shy face, "Aidang, I know that you must work hard every day, I brought you two eggs to eat, you taste it, it's delicious." ”

Li Xiulan said that she was going to pull Xia Ai's hand and stuff two eggs into Xia Ai's hand.

Xia Aidang hurriedly took a step back, and said with a serious face, "Comrade Li Xiulan, I have made it very clear, there is no relationship between us, please don't come to me again in the future, okay?" ”

"Let others see that it's not good for you and me, do you want others to talk about you behind your back every day?"

"Love the party," Li Xiulan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said aggrievedly, "I used to be coquettish and willful, which hurt your heart, I will change it in the future, you can forgive me." ”

"Since I separated from you, I don't know how many people talk about me behind my back, I'm sad to death, you used to like me so much, now can you bear to see me sad?"

If Li Xiulan showed this beautiful and moving color before, Xia Ai Dang would be very distressed, and he couldn't wait to hold Li Xiulan in his arms and comfort her.

But now, Xia Aidang only feels a little annoyed, he and Li Xiulan have made it clear enough, but Li Xiulan is still entangled.

Suddenly, Xia Aidang saw Sister Meng who was coming this way, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Sister Meng." ”

When Sister Meng saw Xia Aidang, she also smiled at Xia Aidang, her eyes fell on Li Xiulan, who was standing next to Xia Aidang, frowned, and then strode to Xia Aidang's side.

When Xia Aidang saw Sister Meng, it was like seeing a savior, and said to Sister Meng, "Sister Meng, you can help me persuade Comrade Li Xiulan, I have already told her, I have nothing to do with her anymore, I hope she will not come to pester me in the future." ”

When Sister Meng heard this, she straightened her chest and assured Xia Aidang, "Ai Dang, leave this matter to me, don't worry." ”

Then Sister Meng asked Xia Ai Dang to leave and go to the office.

Li Xiulan saw that Xia Ai's party was leaving, and wanted to chase after her, but Sister Meng suddenly blocked in front of Li Xiulan, raised her eyebrows and said, "Comrade Li Xiulan, do you know that you have been very famous in the field recently?" ”

Xia Ai Dang is gone, Li Xiulan has no need to continue pretending, she also knows that this eldest sister Meng has not said bad things about herself in front of Xia Ai Dang.

Facing Sister Meng Li Xiulan, she was not polite, and said directly, "It's not you long-tongued women who are talking about me behind my back." ”

When Sister Meng heard this, she sneered, "It's true that we are talking about you behind our backs, but isn't this what you asked for?" ”

"How good it was to love the party in the past, but you always wanted to take advantage of others."

"You are not engaged or married to other people's love parties, so you let the family give you half of your salary, which is not enough, and you want the family to take money from the family to fill the big hole in your family, why are you so thick-skinned?"

Li Xiulan was poked by Sister Meng, she was annoyed in her heart, and said stubbornly, "What's the matter with you?" What do you care? ”

Sister Meng said confidently, "Everyone is a worker in a factory, you bully honest people like this, it's really inauthentic, fortunately, the love party broke up with you early, and we people all applauded." ”

"Since everyone has broken up with you, why are you still pestering people? You are a girl's family pestering people all day long, is it a shame? ”

Li Xiulan said stiffly, "The love party used to like me so much, the reason why he broke up with me was just to be angry with me, he still likes me, this is a matter between me and the love party, you don't need to care!" ”

Sister Meng is an old man in the factory, and when she heard this, she shouted, "Comrade Li Xiulan, I warn you, if you come to pester Officer Xia again in the future, then I can only go to the factory director, and when the time comes..."

Sister Meng's words were full of threats, Li Xiulan's face turned white all of a sudden, Sister Meng looked at Li Xiulan's appearance, and added, "Don't forget, you're just a temporary worker now." ”

Li Xiulan clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, unwilling to say, "The factory director will not take care of emotional matters, and now they all advocate freedom of love." ”

"It's true to advocate the freedom of love now." Sister Meng sneered, "But Officer Xia doesn't want to talk to you, you're just pestering and harassing people, understand?" ”

Li Xiulan's tears fell all of a sudden, her eyes were red, she glared at Sister Meng fiercely, turned around and ran away.

When Sister Meng saw Li Xiulan running away, she suddenly looked like a general who had won a battle, and entered the office with her head held high.

Xia Aidang saw Sister Meng coming in, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister Meng, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

Sister Meng waved her hand and said, "Little thing, little thing, I told that Li Xiulan, she shouldn't pester you anymore in the future." ”

Xia Aidang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Meng, thank you so much. ”

Maybe it was Sister Meng's words that had an effect, and in the next two days, Li Xiulan really didn't come to pester Xia Ai's party again, and Xia Ai's party was also relieved.

At noon that day, Li Xiulan came to the canteen to eat, and bought a multigrain steamed bun and a plate of pickles, which tasted the same as jue wax.

Guo Huai happened to come to the cafeteria to eat, and when he saw Li Xiulan at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he sat next to Li Xiulan, and saw that Li Xiulan was eating multigrain steamed buns and pickles, and his face immediately showed distress.

"Xiulan, how can you eat this?"

Li Xiulan looked at Guo Huai, glanced at Guo Huai angrily, didn't speak, and didn't want to deal with him.

Guo Huai immediately stood up and said, "I'll buy you pork dumplings, you wait." ”

Li Xiulan listened to it, and did not refute the action of eating pickles.

Guo Huai immediately went to buy a bowl of pork stuffed dumplings for Li Xiulan and brought them to Li Xiulan.

Li Xiulan looked at the white and tender, ingot-like pork stuffed dumplings in front of her, and she was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, and devoured them.

Guo Huai almost drooled when he watched from the sidelines, but he could only endure it, took the remaining half of the multigrain steamed buns that Li Xiulan had eaten, and did not dislike it, he stuffed it into his mouth and ate it in a big gulp, and ate it with that little pickle.

After eating a big bowl of pork-stuffed dumplings, Li Xiulan felt that she had come back to life, and when she looked at Guo Huai, her eyes softened a lot, and she said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

Guo Huai saw it and said excitedly, "Xiulan, do you think I'm the only one who is the best for you?" As long as you promise to talk to me and marry me, I will give you pork dumplings every day in the future. ”

Li Xiulan glanced at Guo Huai, stood up, and left the cafeteria with her lunch box.

A few days later, Guo Huai began to ask Li Xiulan to go to the cafeteria to eat together, and Li Xiulan did not refuse, so it began to circulate in the field again, and Li Xiulan and Guo Huai began to talk about each other.

After Xia Aidang learned the news, he didn't say anything, and he seemed to be relieved, but Li Xiulan's parents were not happy.

When Li Xiulan's mother Wu Caifeng went to visit relatives in a neighboring village, she heard that her daughter was having an affair with a stinky boy named Guo Huai in a neighboring village, and her face turned black with anger.

When Li Xiulan got home, Wu Caifeng split her head and covered her face, and scolded, "You unconscious stinky girl, I asked you to reconcile with Secretary Xia, but I didn't expect you to have a relationship with Guo Huai, that poor boy, you want to be angry with me?" ”

Li Xiulan immediately retorted, "Mom, when did I get involved with Guo Huai?" ”

Wu Caifeng also looked surprised when she saw Li Xiulan, not like she was lying, so she said, "That's what the neighboring villagers say." ”

As soon as Li Xiulan heard it, she knew that it should be Guo Huai who said it, and immediately said angrily, "Mom, don't worry, I don't look down on Guo Huai's stinky boy, it's Guo Huai who invited me to eat a few meals in the past few days, and then someone chewed the root of his tongue behind his back, don't take it seriously, I don't look down on him." ”

Wu Caifeng listened, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Xiulan, Mom knows that Guo Huai's poor boy likes you, and it doesn't matter how many meals he invites you, but you must remember that Guo Huai's poor boy can't marry." ”

Li Xiulan hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Mom, don't worry, I understand in my heart." ”

Wu Caifeng nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Caifeng began to repeat the old words, "Xiulan, don't blame your mother for talking too much, you better reconcile with that Xia officer as soon as possible." ”

When Li Xiulan heard this, she smiled bitterly, "Mom, you don't want to be me, it's Xia Ai who doesn't want to reconcile with me, what can I do?" ”

Wu Caifeng glared at this unenlightened daughter, and said, "You stupid girl, women chase men, as long as you take the initiative and be enthusiastic, Xia Aidang is just a hairy boy, can he escape from the palm of your hand?" ”

The next day, Xia Aidang met Li Xiulan again when he went to work.

It happened that Sister Meng was also beside her, and Sister Meng was about to step forward immediately, but she didn't expect Li Xiulan to bypass Sister Meng and walk to Xia Aidang's side, tilting her head up, with red circles under her eyes, she stubbornly glanced at Xia Aidang, her tone was slightly low, and she looked sad, and said, "After work this afternoon, see you in the grove, if you don't go, I will always wait for you." ”

After Li Xiulan finished speaking, she ran away without waiting for Xia Ai's party to respond.

When Sister Meng heard this, she said to Xia Aidang, "Silly boy, you must not go, this girl has a lot of eyes." ”

Xia Aidang sighed, although he was a little bored in his heart, he still said to Sister Meng, "Sister, don't worry, I won't go, you get off work, let someone say something to her, just say that I won't go." ”

Sister Meng nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xiulan came to find Xia Ai's party, many people saw it, and many people also heard what Li Xiulan said, and the field was not big, and it didn't take much effort to spread.

After getting off work in the afternoon, many people stared at Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan intentionally or unintentionally.

Xia Aidang was so uncomfortable that he got on his bicycle and went home, not even the dormitory.

Sister Meng found someone to give Li Xiulan a message and told her: Xia Ai Dang will not go, but after Li Xiulan got off work, she still went to the grove.

Li Xiulan came to the grove, leaning on a tree, a heart, always hanging...

The grove was very quiet, Li Xiulan was anxious, walking around the grove until it was dark, there was no shadow of Xia Ai's party, Li Xiulan's heart gradually cooled, knowing that she and Xia Ai's party were no longer possible, but she was still unwilling, gritted her teeth and insisted on waiting in the grove for another half an hour.

It was completely dark, and I could only vaguely see the gate of the factory, and the headlights were still faintly on.

Just when Li Xiulan decided to give up, she didn't expect that footsteps suddenly came from behind her, Li Xiulan's eyes lit up suddenly, and she turned around in surprise, and saw a figure rushing towards her.

Before Li Xiulan could react, she felt something hit her head, and Li Xiulan's eyes went black and she fainted......
