"No... Thank. Ling Xin said drunkenly in a long voice, "Do you know why I have always regarded you as a younger brother? ”

I looked at Ling Xin, his eyes still looking ahead:

"Because the old captain and my father... Too... It's too much of a resemblance. No matter the tone of speech, the way of doing things, it's... It's all like. The long one is also a bit like. After Ling Xin finished speaking, he drooped his head, it seemed that he was a little drunk.

"You've drunk too much." I smiled and helped him up to get him into the house. He put his arm around my shoulder with another hippie smile:

"Brother, you will be my brother in the future!" He shouted: "Whoever dares to bully you, I dare not say anything else... I can empty his house. After speaking, Ling Xin hiccuped again. With my support, he staggered into the house.

I helped him to the bed in his bedroom, sat down next to him, and said, "Brother, didn't you promise me not to steal it?" ”

"yes, no, not stealing." He was stunned and waved his hand: "No, no, if you bully you, I'll steal him again." ”

I smiled and helped him take off his shoes and coat, then put him on the kang, covered the quilt, and then prepared to go to the stove to fill some firewood. Ling Xin grabbed my arm and said:

"Xiao Yi, tomorrow... Butterfly's birthday, don't forget to call me... Wake up early. ”

I let go of his arm with an "um" sound, and in a few moments I heard him snoring in the outhouse. I walked out of the house and brought the guitar back, except for the strap that was a little worn, everything else was very well maintained, and it seemed that the original owner also took it very seriously. I covered my guitar with a cloth and put it on the head of the bed, then took off my clothes and went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, it was close to noon, and remembering that it was Die'er's birthday, I hurriedly got up with a grunt, put on my coat and went to find Ling Xin. When he reached the door of his bedroom, he found that the door was open, and when he looked inside, there was no sign of him. I walked out of the room and opened it, and found Ling Xin sitting on the stone steps at the door, dangling a branch in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

I tied my clothes, went over and sat down next to him, looked at him and said, "Why didn't you call me when you got up?" ”

Ling Xin sighed softly and said, "There is one thing, I don't know if I should give it to her." ”

"Is it something you mentioned to her yesterday? What the hell is it? ”

"Nothing." Ling Xin stood up and patted the soil on his body: "Let's go, go and help her clean up, but I can't help the old captain today." ”

"It's all right," I replied, "I told the old captain yesterday when he left, that he would bring some dry rations for himself." ”

Ling Xin said "um", went back to the house to change his clothes, and he deliberately picked out the one he thought was the best-looking. I looked at his appearance in leather shoes, upright spirit, extraordinary temperament, and he was usually like two people at all, I asked him with a smile: "Why are you dressed so formally today, do you want to confess later?" ”

He gritted his teeth again and looked like a hooligan, and I smiled and stuck my tongue out at him, and walked back to my room to change my old clothes.

"You'd better wear mine," Ling Xin said as he leaned against the door and looked at me with a frown.

Then he turned around and walked back to his room, picked out a few clean thick clothes for me: "I can take these few pieces," he smiled and compared the clothes to me: "If you want other clothes, you can go to Yin Meizi and him, the old man has a lot of clothes, it is estimated that he can give you ten sets of eight sets." ”

I scratched my head and smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be his assistant, I will treat people in Camellia Township." As I spoke, I changed into Ling Xin's clothes, and he chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, our villagers are not as hypocritical as those in Camellia Township, and they won't look for you if they die." After speaking, he stood up, looked at the way I changed my clothes and nodded: "Let's go." ”

Ling Xin and I set foot on the path to Miss Yin's house again, and every time we passed by, we could smell the faint fragrance of bellflower flowers. The small lilac flowers bloom in the corners and between the cracks in the stones, and there is a special beauty. The noon path was particularly down-to-earth, and in a short time we walked to Miss Yin's house, where she was sitting in a daze at the doorway with her head bent, and stood up when she saw us coming.

"Happy birthday Sister Yin!" I smiled at her.

"Thank you," she smiled sweetly at me, "Why are you here," she said, looking at Ling Xin.

"Is it late?" Ling Xin said lazily: "Isn't it difficult for you to get up at this time?" ”

Miss Yin pouted at him: "Do you think everyone is like you?" Hurry up and set up the house for me, I've got a lot of friends here tonight. ”

"A lot of friends?" Ling Xin frowned: "Do you have any friends besides us?" ”

"Poor!" Miss Yin said and pinched Ling Xin's arm, screaming in pain, and ran into the house while hiding.

There are not many patients in the past two days, and there are no serious patients, and the remaining two have a cold and fever, knowing that Miss Yin is going to have a party at night, and they also go back early. I heard Ling Xin say that Miss Yin is 22 years old this year, and there is a custom in their village that when a woman reaches 22, a man should come to the door to propose marriage. I smiled and helped Ling Xin with advice, but he didn't seem to think about these things at all, maybe he felt that he was not worthy of Miss Yin, and he didn't want to burden her for the rest of his life.

Ling Xin decorated the house alone, and I made some snacks for the evening with Miss Yin. When it is said to be an arrangement, it is actually to tidy up the home, make it clean and bright, and put on some symbolic small decorations. We were busy together until the evening, and when it was almost dark, the other friends invited by Miss Yin arrived one after another.

Every time Miss Yin came, she pulled me to get to know each other with him, and Ling Xin sat aside and ate snacks made by Miss Yin. Dr. Wan was already preparing a sumptuous dinner, and after everyone sat and chatted for a while, the meal was almost ready. Everyone put the tables together and sat outside, chatting by the flickering candlelight.

Ling Xin sat beside me, drinking alone, as if he didn't know any of these people. Dr. Yin brought the longevity noodles from the kitchen to Miss Yin, picked up a glass of wine and said, "Welcome to the Humble House today, and on the occasion of the 22nd birthday of the little girl, I also toast you, and I hope you can take care of it more in the future." ”

Everyone raised their glasses in response, and Ling Xin also took a symbolic sip. After drinking, Dr. Yin put the wine glass on the table and said:

"I'm going to have an emergency in a while, so I won't play with everyone." After saying that, he left, and patted me on the shoulder as he passed me.

I sighed, and I really had to live up to his heart.
