CHAPTER XXXII

On the first day of the National Day holiday, the weather was drizzling. I happily took the car to Shashi, and when I arrived in Shashi, I took a car to Mishi.

When I walked up the embankment, I felt that I had seen Zhong Yiping in a certain place. As he walked, he looked around, and his heart was infinitely excited.

In the cotton field in the distance, there seemed to be a small black dot running.

I walked along the embankment, a brand new five-star red flag fluttered in the air, and as I walked, I saw a primary school under the five-star red flag; I was even more excited, so I quickened my pace and walked closer, and saw that under the five-star red flag was Mishi Town Primary School; Sure enough, there is a road that slopes down from the embankment on the opposite side of the elementary school, and when I go down from that road, I see a water tower, and next to the water tower is Zhong Yiping's home. I thought, and I quickened my pace suddenly.

I finally walked to Zhong Yiping's door, my heart beating faster and I couldn't help myself. It was a two-story building, with cotton drying at the door, and an old man sitting under the eaves basking in the sun.

"Grandpa, hello, may I ask you, is this Zhong Yiping's home?" I asked politely, looking into the back room, and there seemed to be no one in the room.

The old man looked at me and asked, "Are you looking for Ping'er?" ”

When I heard the old man call "Ping'er", I was very surprised, and at this time, I couldn't stop nodding.

The old man stood up and walked into the back room, and after a while he heard a loud shout: "Ping'er-Ping'er-"

The old man's voice spread far away, and my heart was beating so panicked.

The old man came out of the house and said, "Come in and sit down for a while, and she will come back at once." The old man finished speaking and left.

As soon as I walked into the back room, I heard a "bang" behind the house, and the door slammed open.

A figure impulses in front of you. I looked at it, it was Zhong Yiping!

Zhong Yiping looked at me close at hand, not daring to approach, she stared at me for a long time, her eyes were full of tears.

I looked at Zhong Yiping, who had been lost for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Yiping! ”

Zhong Yiping panted, and finally spoke: "You're finally here!" After saying that, he jumped up to me and cried.

I put my arms around Zhong Yiping's shoulders and said excitedly, "I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

Zhong Yiping muttered: "It's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's you who came, you really came." ”

I hugged Zhong Yiping tightly and stroked Zhong Yiping's back with my fingers, really feeling Zhong Yiping's existence.

Zhong Yiping pushed me away.

I burst into tears, looking at Zhong Yiping's face darkened, thin, and still panting rapidly, with a big bag of picking cotton tied around her waist, which was full of cotton.

I slowly approached Zhong Yiping, helped her unload the big burden, and threw it aside.

At this time, Zhong Yiping held back tears and said: "I saw a person walking on the embankment in the cotton field, I guessed it was you, so I ran back." ”

"Really?" I said excitedly, "I also saw a little black shadow running, it's really you!" ”

Zhong Yiping nodded vigorously and shouted, "That's me." ”

I looked at Zhong Yiping in front of me, like a dream, and my heart was full of happiness.

I looked at Zhong Yiping, as if I was in a dream several times, and told myself several times in my heart that this is not a dream, this is a fact, not a dream!

I hugged Zhong Yiping again, Zhong Yiping also hugged me, and in an instant, Zhong Yiping pushed away angrily and looked at me seriously again.

"It's me, Zhong Yiping, I'm Qi Xun." I shouted loudly, feeling very sorry for Zhong Yiping, and muttered, "I'm sorry, Zhong Yiping, I'm sorry, Zhong Yiping." As I spoke, tears welling up in my eyes.

Zhong Yiping looked at me in a daze, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

I rushed to Zhong Yiping's side again, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, so excited that they couldn't say a word, and hugged each other for a long time.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Zhong Yiping asked in a low voice.

"I'm not hungry, not hungry at all, just hold you." I muttered to myself, "I just want to hold you all the time, hold you."

"I'll get you something to eat." After Zhong Yiping finished speaking, she took my hand and came to a row of bungalows at the back, and walked over to see that it was a pigsty with several pigs in it, and she saw someone coming and calling for it.

I said, "You feed a lot of pigs in your house." ”

Zhong Yiping said: "Yes, don't you feed pigs at home?" ”

"We have two heads at most." I say.

"We have seven or eight pigs in each family." Zhong Yiping said with a smile.

I followed Zhong Yiping to the kitchen, where there were two large iron pots side by side on the long and large stove, and a thick straw rope hung from the stove, and a kettle was hanging from the straw rope.

I lit a fire with a match, and my hands trembled and I couldn't strike a match.

"I'll do it, hehe." Zhong Yiping looked at me and said, and then laughed.

I looked at Zhong Yiping and asked worriedly, "Are you okay at home?" ”

Zhong Yiping glanced at me, didn't make a sound, lit the firewood, put the firewood in the stove, and then turned to the stove to wash the pot, and asked, "Let's eat a few eggs first?" ”

I nodded, and saw Zhong Yiping skillfully scoop up a scoop of water and put it into the washed pot, then patted three garlic heads, picked up the garlic skin on the surface of the garlic cloves, chopped the garlic cloves with a knife, and then cut the ginger, the ginger was cut very thin and thin, and then there were thin cuts horizontally, like a grain of millet. Zhong Yiping put the chopped garlic cloves and ginger into the water and covered the pot. Zhong Yiping's careful appearance of doing housework makes people feel warm. I silently watched Zhong Yiping do things in detail, imagining that my future life would be such a beautiful picture, how happy.

Zhong Yiping took six eggs, broke the eggshells one by one, broke them with both hands, and let the eggs flow into the bowl, at which time the water boiled.

Zhong Yiping opened the lid of the pot, and a wave of heat came to her face. Zhong Yiping poured a bowl of eggs into the pot and covered the pot again. Take out a clean porcelain bowl, a spoon, brown sugar and lard from the cupboard; First, scoop three spoonfuls of brown sugar into the porcelain bowl, and then scoop two spoonfuls of lard into the porcelain bowl.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of boiled eggs, Zhong Yiping opened the lid of the pot, used a spatula to hold the hard-boiled eggs and put them in a bowl, then put some soup into the bowl, stirred with a spoon, and handed it to me.

I held a bowl full of eggs and thought, how can I finish this? After a while, he whispered, "Let's eat together, I can't finish eating alone." ”

"You've eaten them all." Zhong Yiping said in a commanding tone, still with tears in her eyes.

I ate two eggs, and I couldn't eat them anymore, and then I barely drank some soup and said, "You eat." ”

Zhong Yiping urged me to eat again, so I had to eat another one.

"Finish eating." Zhong Yiping still commanded me.

"I really can't eat it." I really felt like I couldn't eat it, and looked at Zhong Yiping and smiled.

Zhong Yiping also laughed and said that she took my dishes and chopsticks and put them in the cupboard.

"When you get home, is there anything going on at home?" I asked, still worried that Zhong Yili would interfere with it.

Zhong Yiping stopped talking, and her tears still couldn't stop flowing.

The two walked to the gate, Zhong Yiping turned the cotton drying at the door, and I also helped turn the cotton.

A middle-aged woman passed by the door, and Zhong Yiping hurriedly greeted her.

The middle-aged woman asked, "Zhong Yiping, who is this?" ”

"My friend." Zhong Yiping said.

"Oh, why don't you call your mom?" The middle-aged woman said excitedly that she would leave in the future because she was busy with her own business.

Zhong Yiping also realized the importance of the matter, she looked a little flustered and didn't know what to do.

I was also nervous, and I felt like I had become an extremely important person here.

I comforted Zhong Yiping and said, "It's okay, let's just wait for your parents to come back." ”

Zhong Yiping said: "They all come home late. ”

"So what does it matter?" I said, "As long as it's with you." ”

"I'd better go find my parents," Zhong Yiping said a little panicked, but thinking that she was gone, it would not be good to leave me alone at home, showing a dilemma.

"Then why don't you work with your aunt today?" I deliberately changed the subject and said.

"You're coming, waiting for you." Zhong Yiping said with a smile.

As she was talking, a female student came over with a schoolbag on her back, looked at Zhong Yiping, and then looked at me.

Zhong Yiping hurriedly said, "This is my sister Xiaoping." ”

Xiaoping smiled, looked at the strange me, and laughed vigorously.

Zhong Yiping's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said, "Xiaoping, you go and call your mother home." ”

Xiaoping readily agreed.

Zhong Yiping said to cook, and I happily followed me to the kitchen. I think this is the first time I have really gone to my beloved girlfriend's house to play, how happy I am.

In the afternoon, Zhong Yiping's mother came home with a load of vegetables, saw Zhong Yiping and I busy in the kitchen, looked at me again, and silently did not speak.

I felt nervous and hurriedly called, "Auntie." ”

After Zhong Yiping's mother heard this, she responded with a happy look and said, "You guys go play, I'll cook." ”

Zhong Yiping and I came to the living room, Zhong Yiping's father also came back, and Xiaoping also came back.

Zhong Yiping hurriedly shouted, "Dad, you're back." ”

I hurriedly called, "Hello, uncle." ”

Zhong Yiping's father nodded and said, "Sit down." ”

I had to find a chair to sit down, and Zhong Yiping's father sat down too. There was nothing to say between the two of them, and after a while, Zhong Yiping's mother brought out a few dishes from the kitchen and put them on the dining table.

Zhong Yiping's father said to Xiaoping, "Go and call my uncle to dinner." ”

Zhong Yiping's father rarely speaks and smokes vigorously.

After a while, Xiaoping led a middle-aged man of about forty into the house, the middle-aged man was wearing a Mao suit, with a pen in his jacket pocket, greeted me warmly, and held my hand tightly, my hand hurt as if it was caught by a pair of pliers, and I couldn't move.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My name is Wang Jinsheng, Zhong Yiping's uncle." ”

"Hello, uncle." I said, "My name is Qi Xun." ”
