Chapter III

Li Ping knew that Wu Tianliang stayed in Changchun for three days, and he lived in the army guest house on Kuanjie. After Wu Tianliang left that day, Li Ping made up her mind to agree to this family business, and when she got off work, she involuntarily went to the army's guest house, but she didn't go up, but hid behind a tree and secretly looked at room 201, which was lit with fluorescent lamps and looked very bright. There is no doubt that Wu Tianliang lives inside, Wu Tianliang she just met. Originally, she had nothing to do with Wu Tianliang, but the box of "Spring Festival" cigarettes with her note made her have a relationship with Wu Tianliang. It's like a dream when I think about it, and the beginning of the story itself is quite wonderful.

On the way home, she kept thinking about Wu Tianliang and things related to Wu Tianliang, somewhere in Hebei, there was a unit, and she would have inextricable contact with that unit in the future. Thinking of this, her face turned red in the dark, hot, like a cold.

When I returned home, I saw that the second brother had returned from the countryside again, and my parents carefully sat at the table to accompany the second brother, and there was an extra bowl of stew on the table. As soon as Li Ping walked into her cramped space, her heart cooled down, and she returned to reality. The lamp at home is fluorescent, I don't know if it's because the wattage is too small, or it's covered with dirt, in short, the light is very dim, like Li Ping's mood at this time.

The second brother treated her like an enemy as usual. Before she sat down at the table, the second brother began to eat, and said while eating: Why did you come back, I couldn't stand it from hunger. When she sat down, the second brother had almost eaten.

The second brother said: Xiaoping's salary has been paid this month, and I don't have the money for the ticket back to the countryside.

She silently handed over half of this month's salary to her second brother. Ever since she took over her father's class, her second brother and sister have treated her as an enemy, as if she had been sorry for them overnight. A large part of her monthly salary was almost taken away by her second brother and sister. At the beginning, she couldn't get angry, and even if she gave it, she was not willing.

Later, my mother said: Xiaoping, you can give them some, you are in the city, they are in the countryside, they are more miserable than you.

Mother thinks so too.

That night, Li Ping was willing to give money to her second brother, and she thought while counting the money: Give it to you again, you may not get my money next time.

Qian Liping thought of Wu Tianliang's salary, Wu Tianliang paid more than 80 yuan a month, which was the salary of senior cadres in her eyes. After she entered the factory, she had heard that the salary of their factory director and secretary was only a little more than 50 per month. As soon as she thought of Wu Tianliang, her mood improved, and she even wanted to tell her mother about Wu Tianliang, but for some reason, her parents had a quarrel that night, and the two fought so hard that they blushed and had thick necks, and finally Li Ping gave up telling Wu Tianliang. The circumstances at home made her determined to leave here. That night, she slept very unsteadily, as soon as she woke up, she would think of Wu Tianliang.

The next day, she suffered another day, she was not hesitant to see Wu Tianliang's question, but hesitant to see Wu Tianliang's temperament. She didn't want Wu Tianliang to see that she was too anxious and too rushed, for fear that Wu Tianliang would look down on her. She wanted to pretend that she was not in a hurry and made Wu Tianliang anxious. The next day, she came in a state of calm on the outside and turbulent on the inside.

On the morning of the third day, she also went to work as usual, eating her own boxed lunch at noon, and still smiled and did not answer in the face of repeated inquiries from her co-workers. In the afternoon, she asked the workshop director for leave, went to the bathroom to wash her face, combed her hair, and changed her clothes before leaving the cigarette factory. She came to the army guest house on Broad Street very smoothly, but she was not in a hurry to go up, but wandered downstairs, slipped and slipped again, and said in her heart: Hurry up; And he said, "Don't be in a hurry, wait a minute." Li Ping was fighting with herself, fighting back and forth, the sun was setting in the west, she mustered up the last courage to walk into the guest house, it was easy to find room 201, she sank in front of the door for a moment before reaching out and knocking.

The door opened quickly, and it was naturally Wu Tianliang who opened the door, and he stood at the door and looked at her in surprise. Li Ping didn't panic at all, as if she had been to this guest house a hundred times, she could easily see the bag on the ground, the zipper of the bag was opened, and Wu Tianliang's toiletries were placed on it, obviously, Wu Tianliang was packing up his things, and he was ready to leave at any time. This effect is very good, and Li Ping is very satisfied.

Li Ping smiled at Wu Tianliang, who was stunned at the door, as if they were already old acquaintances.

Wu Tianliang said incoherently: You ...... You...... Here, sit inside.

Wu Tianliang obviously didn't have enough preparation for Li Ping's final appearance, he was ready to go, and he didn't know what to say about Li Ping's sudden appearance. Li Ping walked in and sat on a chair, Wu Tianliang returned to normal, lit a cigarette, and smoked very much. He sat down, crossed his legs, and rubbed the cigarette butt against the soles of his leather shoes, so that there was no soot on the cigarette.

He said: Comrade Li Ping, have you thought about it?

Li Ping didn't speak, but still smiled at him again.

He said, "Look, why didn't you tell me earlier, so that I could go to your house and see your parents."

The reason why Li Ping chose to come at this time was because she was afraid that Wu Tianliang would propose to go to her own home, she was reluctant to do that, she didn't like it, let alone others.

Wu Tianliang said again: Look, I have bought all my tickets, and the train is half past five in the evening.

After speaking, he took out the ticket and let Li Ping look at it.

Li Ping said: You go yours.

Wu Tianliang looked very regretful, rubbed his hands and said: The two old men haven't seen it, so you have to listen to their opinions no matter what you say.

Li Ping said: They don't care about my own business.

Wu Tianliang said "oh", as if he had unloaded the last burden, he stood up, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, he looked like a chief again.

Wu Tianliang walked away, and then said to Li Ping: Xiao Li, I am satisfied with you, if you are also satisfied, in this way, when I go back, I will make a marriage report, I am 40 years old, I am not young, and I can't afford to delay.

Li Ping lowered her head and blushed instinctively.

Wu Tianliang was very satisfied when he saw Li Ping's appearance, he took a long breath and said: I didn't come in vain this time, Xiao Li, let's be fated.

At this time, Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms came, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Ping, and exclaimed: This is Li Ping from the cigarette factory, I didn't expect you to come, Tianliang has been waiting so hard for the past two days.

Obviously, Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms know the ins and outs of the matter well.

Li Ping blushed again and lowered her head again when she heard this. Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms were also very satisfied with Li Ping, and said over and over again: Tianliang, you kid is blessed.

Wu Tianliang didn't say anything, just laughed.

Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms came to see Wu Tianliang off, and the car was waiting downstairs. A few people came down from upstairs, Wu Tianliang walked to the jeep, put the bag in the car, and didn't know what to say to Li Ping, Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms said to Li Ping: Get in the car, let's send Tianliang together.

As a result, Li Ping got into the car, she and Wu Tianliang sat in the back row, and neither of them spoke along the way, only Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms were talking in front of them. Li Ping didn't hear a word clearly, she was so big, it was the first time she was riding in a jeep, and Wu Tianliang was still sitting next to her, so she was in a fog.

When they arrived at the station, Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms winked at Wu Tianliang and said: Tianliang, I won't go in, let Li Ping send you. After speaking, he stuffed Wu Tianliang's bag into Li Ping's hand without saying anything, and Li Ping had no choice but to follow Wu Tianliang into the ticket hall. They took the military passage and conveniently came to the platform, where the train had stopped.

At this time, Wu Tianliang took the bag from Li Ping's hand, looked at Li Ping with great satisfaction and said: I will make a marriage report as soon as I go back, and you will come to the army to get married.

Li Ping's face turned red, and she lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the platform with her feet.

Wu Tianliang said again: Very good, then I'll get in the car.

Li Ping raised her head at this time, she looked at Wu Tianliang, Wu Tianliang's eyes were shining. Wu Tianliang stretched out his hand to say goodbye to her, she subconsciously stretched out her hand, Wu Tianliang held her hand hard, and did not mean to let go immediately. He used his strength, and he used his strength again, Li Ping felt the strength and temperature he conveyed, and at that moment, Li Ping wanted to cry for some reason.

It wasn't until the station bell had rang that Wu Tianliang let go of her hand and walked towards the door.

The train started quickly, and Wu Tianliang kept waving to her in the window.

When she walked out of the station, she saw Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms still waiting for her there, and insisted on sending her home. She sat in the jeep and was in a fog again. Wu Tianliang's comrades-in-arms have been saying that Tianliang is really blessed and something like that.

She sat in the jeep and looked at the night view of Changchun, feeling very good.
