Chapter X

Wang Xiaomao's letter came as promised, and this time his name was unmistakably written on the envelope. The moment Li Ping got the letter, her hands trembled a little. She tore open the letter, and tears rained down after just the first glance, Wang Xiaomao's first words were: Sister, I miss you......

Wang Xiaomao is just as Li Ping expects, he is also missing her, without her, his life will lose its motivation and meaning. Wang Xiaomao's work has been assigned, and it is at the tractor manufacturing factory in Luoyang. But without Li Ping in his life, he couldn't lift his spirits for anything, and always wanted to go back to the army to see her again.

Li Ping no longer hesitated, she put away the letter, simply packed her clothes, and rushed to the station, the family thought she was returning to the army, scrambling to send her, she didn't let anyone send it, and bought a direct train ticket to Luoyang. When she boarded the train, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she took the train to find Wu Tianliang a year ago, and the mood of the two times was so similar and so far away. This time, she ran to Luoyang with a new mood, and ran to Wang Xiaomao, who she had been thinking about for a long time.

Li Ping rushed to the Luoyang Tractor Manufacturing Factory, she didn't know how to find Wang Xiaomao, she could only wait for him at the door, from noon to night, she stood there motionless, not letting go of every man who entered the door and went out. Finally in the flow of people who got off work at night, she saw Wang Xiaomao, Wang Xiaomao was alone, listlessly riding a bicycle and rushing out.

At that moment, Li Ping's throat choked, she shouted a few times Wang Xiaomao didn't shout, seeing that Wang Xiaomao was about to disappear from her eyes, she shouted: Xiaomao-

Wang Xiaomao heard it, he got off the bicycle, and soon saw Li Ping standing outside the flow of people, he threw the bicycle there, shuttled through the bicycle flow, and was almost hit by the bicycle several times. He finally ran to her, his face still red, and tears glistening in his fluttering eyes. He shouted: Sister, it's really you!

I don't know who opened their arms to each other, and the two of them hugged each other so tightly. There were only two of them left in the world.

He said, "Sister, I miss you."

She said: Xiaomao, I miss you too.

Tears welled up in both men's eyes, as if they had been separated for a century. When the two of them came to their senses, the traffic and people at the gate of the factory had disappeared, and only three or two idle people were left to look here. Wang Xiaomao turned around and pushed the bicycle and said, "Sister, let's go."

Li Ping finally met Wang Xiaomao, she didn't ask him where he went, she had already made up her mind: she won't leave this time, she wants to be with Wang Xiaomao for life and death.

In the end, Wang Xiaomao led Li Ping to the door of a guest house, and Wang Xiaomao saw Li Ping looking at him puzzled, so he said: Live here today, and I will rent a house early tomorrow morning.

Wang Xiaomao saw that Li Ping was still puzzled, and said: I told my parents about us, but they didn't agree, we can't go home, we have to be self-reliant.

That night, Wang Xiaomao has been accompanying Li Ping in the guest house, the two have endless words, from the novel to the army, and from the army to Luoyang, the two are full of emotions and excited, they hold each other's hands, it seems that if they are not careful, the other party will disappear from their side.

Wang Xiaomao said: Sister, are you really never going back to the army again?

Li Ping said: If I don't go back, even if Wu Tianliang uses eight sedan chairs to carry me, I won't go back.

Wang Xiaomao said: I'm just a worker, you won't dislike me in the future.

Li Ping hugged Wang Xiaomao, and tears welled up again: Sister is still afraid that you will dislike it, I am two years older than you, and I have been married.

The two of them talked all night about such stupid and stupid things. Early the next morning, Wang Xiaomao easily rented a room for ten yuan a month. Then the two began to decorate their own small home, Li Ping went to the store to buy a floral cloth curtain, and bought a futon and so on, a small room of more than ten square meters after a day of arrangement, it looked very warm, Li Ping leaned on the bed, happily looked at Wang Xiaomao and said: We also have our own home.

Wang Xiaomao also looked at her happily. Li Ping hooked Wang Xiaomao's neck with her arm and muttered: Xiaomao, I want to marry you.

Wang Xiaomao seemed to be a little sober and said: You and Wu Tianliang haven't divorced yet, how can you marry me.

This sentence also made Li Ping sober up, and she said to Wang Xiaomao: I want to write a letter to Wu Tianliang and ask him to divorce me immediately.

Wu Tianliang received the letter sent to him by Li Ping from Luoyang, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He read Li Ping's letter three times in a row, and finally realized that Li Ping and Wang Xiaomao were together at this time, and they were going to get married.

When Wu Tianliang came to Luoyang and found Li Ping again, Li Ping was cleaning his new home, which was simple but tidy, and the small alley outside was very dilapidated, but inside the hut was a different world. She was humming a song in her mouth, and was thinking about where to put a handful of plastic flowers in the right place, when Wu Tianliang appeared. Wu Tianliang looked at everything in front of him and understood everything, there was a photo of Li Ping and Wang Xiaomao on the wall, and the room was full of things for two people.

Wu Tianliang squatted on the ground all of a sudden, hugged his head, and tears fell down one after another. Wu Tianliang said in a trembling voice: Li Ping, go back with me.

Li Ping shook her head, and it was only then that Li Ping realized that from the beginning to the present, she had never loved Wu Tianliang. She looked at Wu Tianliang in front of her, and she didn't feel anything in her heart.

Wu Tianliang raised his head and said: Why? You said to go back to Changchun, I'm still waiting for you to go home.

Li Ping said: Tianliang, you are a good person, but I don't love you, I'm not happy with you, and I don't want you to leave you. But I love Xiaomao and miss Xiaomao, so I'm here, and I won't go back to the army with you.

Wu Tianliang said again: Do you think the army is remote, I will change jobs, let's go back to the city, okay?

Li Ping shook her head.

Wu Tianliang stood up, he wiped a handful of tears, looked at the hut again, and then said: Li Ping, the day I married you was like a dream, today I also have all this as a dream, I agree to divorce you. I'll send you the divorce formalities when I get back to the army.

After Wu Tianliang finished speaking, he turned around and left, never looking back. Wu Tianliang did what he said, and within a few days, the divorce procedures were sent. A few days later, Wang Xiaomao and Li Ping went to the street to register their marriage.

Wang Xiaomao has become more diligent, and he goes to work early and returns late. In order to alleviate Wang Xiaomao's pressure, Li Ping set up a vegetable stall at the mouth of the alley, and early in the morning she went to the vegetable market to wholesale some vegetables and came back, and sold vegetables at the mouth of the alley during the day. When Wang Xiaomao came back from work at night, Li Ping's dishes were almost sold out, and then the two hugged each other and walked back, Li Ping was cooking in the yard, Wang Xiaomao was fighting, and the two kept talking and laughing. They had a sweet dinner, and he fed her, she fed him, and they both giggled.

When the two were hugging each other and lying on the bed, Wang Xiaomao whispered to Li Ping: You don't think I'm a poor bastard, right?

Li Ping said: I'm afraid that you will think I'm a vegetable seller.

The two laughed again, and finally Li Ping said seriously: Xiaomao, I want to give you a child, a child for the two of us.

Okay, then I'll give you birth. Wang Xiaomao put Li Ping down hard, and the sound of joy filled the hut.

A year later, their child was finally born, a daughter, and Li Ping named the child Mao Mao. When Wang Xiaomao was not at home, Li Ping shouted her daughter's name over and over again: Mao Mao. As soon as she called her daughter, she thought of Wang Xiaomao, and her heart was filled with unprecedented happiness.

After the child was born, Li Ping couldn't sell vegetables, and the family had a lot of expenses, relying on Wang Xiaomao to go to work alone, and he had to pay rent and the family's expenses, and life became tight. One night, Wang Xiaomao hugged his daughter and Li Ping and told him about one of his decisions, he was going to quit his job in a tractor factory and go to a transportation company to run a car, and the monthly salary was incomparable to that of the tractor factory.

After Wang Xiaomao finished saying this decision, Li Ping's heart trembled, she leaned up and said: You want to quit your job and go to be an individual?

Wang Xiaomao said: I want you two to live a good life, we can't always rent other people's houses in the future, I want to give you a happy home, what kind of man is a man who can't make his wife and children happy?

Wang Xiaomao has made up his mind, and Li Ping can't say anything. At that time, she looked forward to Maomao growing up early, and she wanted to build their beautiful and happy home with Wang Xiaomao.
