He was so uncertain that he almost cut his hand. The sun soon moved to the west, and when Horie came with her mother's will to inform her that she could go home, Hop was still tirelessly digging for potatoes. He Rui shouted at her several times, and He Di raised his head to look at her blankly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You can go back." Herui frowned and said, "Mom told you to go back and cook." ”

"Oh." He straightened up, stretched out his hand and hammered the hammer, and turned to walk towards the ground. He Rui looked at her dejected look, which was completely different from usual, and her heart was suddenly full of doubts.

"Hmph, I don't know what I'm thinking all day long." She snorted coldly and turned to walk towards her mother.

He sighed again and again, dragging his tired body on the way home. How she hoped that Zhu Hai could suddenly appear behind her like before, so that she could tell him what was on her mind. But she was almost at the door, and he hadn't shown up yet. Hedi's heart was full of loss, and she threw down the dusty cloth bag, and she shuffled towards the field again. The mouth of the small earth hole was neatly stacked with stones and clods, and she crouched down and cut them open with her hands, and took out a piece of paper from it.

"Hedi:

Can we meet tomorrow? I haven't seen you for a day, and it's like I haven't seen you in a century. It's such a bad feeling, I can't wait to see you right now. What are you doing now? Why didn't you come today? Is it because something happened at home? I came to your house to take a look, your yard door is locked, you went out today? You don't know how sad I felt when I sat in your yard and wrote this letter to you. I don't want to communicate with you in this way at all, I want to meet you, I want to look at your face and talk to you. If you see this letter, please give me a reply, okay? If there is no reply, I am still waiting for you in the old place.

Zhu Hai"

He Tu raised his head and looked around, imagining Zhu Hai sitting here writing letters. She pursed her lips, put away the letter, and got up and walked into the courtyard. When the water boiled and the noodles were cut, she flashed into the back room and pulled out a brand new workbook and a half-used pencil from the closet. This was secretly searched by her from Heyi's schoolbag, afraid that one day she would not be able to find a pen or paper to write a letter. After spreading the notebook on the kang table, she listened attentively, and the courtyard was quiet, and there was no sound, so she clumsily grabbed the pencil and began to write.

Zhu Hai:

I read your letter, and I didn't go today because my brother and sister were going to school, so I went to see them off. I may not be able to go out to see you in the future because I can't find an excuse. Also, my mom said she was going to marry me, I don't know what to do? You help me come up with ideas.

Hetu"

After writing, she looked at the letter paper, bit the pen and thought for a long time, before tearing off the paper and folding it, ready to put it in the small soil hole. Unexpectedly, as soon as the toes touched the ground, there was a conversation at the gate of the yard, it was my father and mother who came back! She hurriedly stuffed the notebook and pen into her own clothes in the closet, stuffed the square letter into her underwear, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

"You're back?" She asked, "I'm already boiling water, just waiting for you to come back down there." ”

"Do it, your dad said he was going to starve to death all the way." Emerald Shadow patted the dirt on her body and removed the scarf from her head that blocked the sun.

He replied, scooped up the noodles and threw them into the pot. The water was already boiling, and the noodles were stirring in the pot for a while, and then they were fished into a bowl, and then a layer of noodles that had been made long ago was poured onto the noodles, and they were served one by one.

She waited patiently for the family to finish their meal and clean up everything in the kitchen before heading outside. Father and mother were sitting in the courtyard in the shade, and Herui was holding her fairy tale book and flipping through it under the lamplight. The sky will be dark, and walking in a place where there is no light, you can barely see the surrounding scenery clearly. He picked up the stones, put the letter away, laid the stones again, clapped his hands and prepared to go back. As soon as his left foot stepped into the air, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

He Tu turned around, and Zhu Hai's sad face broke into his eyes. She froze for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Zhu Hai didn't care if anyone would see it, and opened his arms and took her into his arms. Hedi's heart was pounding, she was scared and excited at the same time, but she didn't want to let herself leave this warm embrace. She stretched out her hand and wrapped it tightly around Zhu Hai's waist, greedily breathing in the smell of the other party's body.

"I just wrote to you." He Tu buried his face on Zhu Hai's shoulder and said in a muffled voice.

"I know, I see it." Zhu Hai took a few deep breaths, gently pushed Hetu away, pointed to the haystack on the other side and said, "Let's go over there, I'm afraid that people will see it here." ”

"You weren't scared when you just hugged me, but you're scared at this time?" He Tu was reluctant to leave his embrace, and said mischievously with his head up.

"It's not for you, I don't care." Zhu Hai scratched her nose and took her hand and walked to the other side. As soon as he bypassed the haystack, Hetu let go of his reserve and threw himself into Zhu Hai's arms.

"I remembered a phrase." Zhu Hai sighed, "If you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn." ”

"What do you mean?" He Tu asked absentmindedly, her whole mind was on appreciating Zhu Hai's embrace, and she couldn't distract from what he said.

"That is, if I don't see you for one day, it's like I haven't seen you for three seasons."

"Is it that long?"

"Yes." Zhu Hai nodded, and the arm holding Hetu's waist tightened a little, "The feeling of living like a year." ”

He Tu didn't ask anymore, she lay on Zhu Hai's shoulder, and said softly, "I really want to be with you forever." ”

"I want to, too." Zhu Hai said, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth and said nothing, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised quickly drooped.

He Tu couldn't see Zhu Hai's face, so naturally he couldn't guess what was going on in his heart. She wanted to tell Zhu Hai about the thing she was worried about, but she didn't want it to disturb the good mood of the two of them at the moment, and after a little hesitation, she threw the sad mood aside and concentrated on enjoying the moment. The two of them didn't know how long they hugged each other, and after the last bright color in the sky disappeared and the surroundings fell into darkness, Zhu Hai let go of her slightly.

"Hedi, I, I want to ......," he said hesitantly, his face burning.

"What?" He Tu tilted his head and looked at him in a daze, although he couldn't see Zhu Hai's face clearly at the moment.

"I think-" Zhu Hai took a deep breath and finally said, "I want to kiss you." ”

He Tu lowered her head shyly, she moved her lips and said a few words in a low voice, Zhu Hai didn't hear clearly, so she put her ear next to her lips, wanting to hear more clearly.

"I said—" He Tu smiled shyly, "If you want to kiss me, you can't stop you." ”

Zhu Hai laughed happily, he raised his hand to cover Hetu's eyes, quickly touched Hedi's lips, and then let go of his hand and looked at Hedi's eyes seriously.

"Why are you looking at me...... Hedi became even more shy, she lowered her head, trying to avoid his gaze.

"I want to kiss it again." Zhu Hai said. He lifted Hetu's chin, closed his eyes and pursed his lips up, but Hetu suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and giggled, "I won't let you kiss." ”

Zhu Hai opened his eyes and looked at her in disappointment.

"Alright, I'm going in." He broke free of his arm and took a step outside.

"I don't want you to go."

He tilted his head and looked at him for a few seconds, but did not respond to his words, and said with a smile: "Remember to take the letter." Then he turned and ran. The sound of her footsteps swayed leisurely over the field, as if it were the most beautiful music.

After this meeting, Hetu's courage suddenly increased. After that, as long as she had nothing to do after dinner in the evening, she would find an excuse to go around the field, and no one would doubt it. Zhu Hai waited over there every time, and it almost became an unruly agreement between the two people. It's just that Zhu Hai didn't mention what was written in the letter, as if he had forgotten it. Although He Di wanted to ask for an understanding and wanted to discuss a definite way with him, Zhu Hai disturbed her heart every time, and only after they were separated did she suddenly remember that there was such a thing to discuss, so she made up her mind that she must bring it up the next day. As a result, I forgot about it the next day. After a long time, both of them left this matter behind, as if it would happen a long time later, and it is more important to enjoy the moment for now.

The days passed day by day, and soon it was late autumn. The work in the field is over, and I no longer have to get up early and return late every day. The villagers were all idle, and every day they wandered from house to house, and talked to each other about the latest anecdotes. The relationship between Hetu and Zhu Hai became deeper and deeper, almost to the point that they could not be separated. It's just that the family is no longer busy with the work in the field, but turns their attention to her, and expresses suspicion that she has to go out every night. He Tu became more cautious, and did not go out for two or three nights, and only when the family stopped staring at her did she sneak out to meet Zhu Hai for a few minutes.

That night, he swept the floor absentmindedly, glancing at his busy family members out of the corner of his eye. Cuiying was knitting sweaters in preparation for the coming harsh winter, Jiafu was doing carpentry in the dim light at the other end of the yard, and Herui was lying on a table scribbling on a piece of paper with words written on the back. After sweeping the floor, he put the broom away, straightened up and said, "I'll go outside and pick up some firewood, and I'll cook tomorrow morning." ”

"Won't you pick it up tomorrow morning?" Herui looked up at her, "It's dark now. ”

He looked outside and said, "It's not completely dark, I can see clearly." ”

Herui snorted, lowered her head and stopped talking. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with the basket. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, she could vaguely hear the sound of people chatting at the door of the house at the bottom of the slope, her heart was slightly calmer, and she turned around and walked towards the field.

As she passed by the small dirt cave, she instinctively turned her head to take a look. I saw that the stones and clods at the entrance of the cave were scattered in a mess, which looked extremely messy. She hadn't written a letter for a long time, and the little earth cave that had once performed great feats had lost its value. He turned around and walked towards the haystack.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the lovesickness is burning in the hearts of the two people, and as soon as they look at each other, Zhu Hai hugs He Tu tightly, looking down for her lips. Dry firewood burns at the touch of a button. Neither of them spoke, enjoying this most superficial but intoxicating skin-to-skin kiss. Dozens of seconds later, Hedi pushed Zhu Hai away a little, and said with a gasp: "Okay, okay." ”

"Not good." Zhu Hai muttered and brought his lips up again.

"Is this just what you saw me?" He Tu said with some anger. Zhu Hai was stunned for a moment, stopped his movements, and looked at her blankly.

"I want to talk to you, I don't want to, I don't want to—" He Tu couldn't go on, "I feel like something has changed. ”

"What?" Zhu Hai looked at her suspiciously, "I don't think anything has changed." ”

"That's you." He Tu broke free of his hand and looked at his eyes with resentment, "In the past, you made me think that you simply liked me and were very happy with me before you came to see me, but now I feel that you seem to have come to see me for some purpose." ”

"Purpose?" Zhu Hai frowned, "My purpose, don't you know it yet?" I want to see you, I want to hug you, that's what I'm for. ”

"Shall we—" Hetu paused, thinking about what to say, "we can't talk and talk to each other, I have a lot to tell you, a lot of things to tell you......"

Zhu Haihai stepped forward and hugged her shoulders and whispered, "No need to speak, I just look into your eyes and know what you are thinking." ”

"Then you say, what am I thinking?" Hetu looked up at him.

Zhu Hai closed his mouth and said nothing. His gaze gently stroked her hair, forehead, eyes, nose, and finally rested on her bright pink lips. Zhu Hai felt a stirring in his heart, and couldn't help lowering his head and sucking her lips again.

He sighed deeply, but he couldn't get rid of his "tenderness and sweetness". Maybe that's the only way he can show his affection? Maybe he doesn't care what I'm thinking, he just thinks it's fun to have a skin-to-skin relationship with me, so is that also a sign of liking me? Her heart was in a mess, and an inexplicable and bad feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. Almost at the same time, she heard a clicking sound not far behind her, which made her almost electrocuted Zhu Hai push away and jump back several steps.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Hai looked at her with wide eyes. He waved his hand anxiously and whispered, "Let's go!" Come on! Although Zhu Hai didn't know why, he turned around and quickly ran away. Taking a few deep breaths to calm the tremors in her heart, she slowly turned around the haystack and searched her gaze ahead.

In the hazy night, a figure stood not far away, tilting his head to look at her.
