The waves stretched forward, seemingly separating the sea from the land. The high waves shrouded a shadow, swaying, and the shadow flickered, dazzling, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The endless sea, which is rough and unfathomable, makes it impossible to see how big it really is. Fang Wei wanted to use a color to describe the undulating sea, but he couldn't find the right color. However, a yellow road that stretched out to him was distinctive.

Fang Wei turned around and looked along this road, and when he saw the sun hanging in the sky and shimmering with golden light, he hurriedly lowered his eyes again.

Fang Wei turned around and walked to the beach, his feet soaked in the seawater, the rows of waves, over the surface of his feet, washed back and forth on the beach, as if they were washing his soul, washing away the bitterness and troubles of the past few days.

A cool breeze with a fishy smell blew from the sea, and Fang Wei didn't smell any peculiar smell, but felt extremely refreshing and comfortable. Fang Wei exhaled a long breath, and stretched out his arms to the sky with his back and up, as if to embrace the scorching sun, melt himself into the blue sky, and let his soul fly freely.

On the way back, as the taxi passed through the fields and woods, Fang Wei could occasionally hear birds singing happily.

………………

Xiaoli got home from work, hurriedly ate dinner, said hello to her parents, went upstairs and returned to her bedroom, did not turn on the light, and lay on the bed in the dark.

Xiaoli recalled that the past few days had not been very smooth, and she couldn't get any news from Fang Wei, she had been anxious, and she searched several hospitals back and forth, but she didn't find which hospital Fang Wei lived in, and she didn't know what his condition was, whether he was seriously ill. Where does Fang Wei live? Why can't you tell her in time?

Xiaoli thought about it over and over again, but she didn't come up with a result, because she was too worried about Fang Wei's condition, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she almost hated him to death.

After Fang Wei was hospitalized, Xiaoli spent every day in worry and anxiety, and there were subtle changes in her heart, and I don't know why, once Fang Wei appeared in front of her, her face was red and hot, her heart was pounding, and there was an irrepressible excitement flowing in her blood.

Xiaoli remembered that when she was a child, two innocent people played together, without so many worries and entanglements, but now it is different, both of them have grown up, and when they reach the age of talking about marriage, the burst of youth, there are naturally more ideas.

Xiaoli doesn't know when it started, her concern for Fang Wei has crossed her childhood friendship, and is developing unconsciously in the direction she can't control but hopes.

When the two of them are together, Fang Wei is sometimes still like a child, with a happy smile on his face, telling gonzos, and making some outrageous jokes from time to time to make Xiaoli laugh; In the blink of an eye, he became another stranger, showing an old age that did not match his actual age, as if life had brought him too much pressure and pain, and the Buddha had a stomach full of resentment, which could be erupted in an instant.

Fang Wei's firm and handsome face, wide range of knowledge, and his hearty personality are almost overwhelmed by reality, all of which are deeply imprinted on Xiaoli's heart, and they can't get rid of it.

From that moment on, she no longer thought that Fang Wei was a childhood friend, but a big man, standing in front of her, as if God had his own arrangements in the dark, and this man had an irresistible charm for her.

Every time Xiaoli thinks of this, she has a kind of happy and sweet excitement, how she wishes to snuggle in Fang Wei's arms every day, melt into his body, and hug Fang Wei tightly, forever, forever, until the sea is dry and rotten.

Xiaoli was thinking about the future, suddenly, the room was lit up, bright lights, she couldn't open her eyes, she blinked, saw her mother come to her side, leaned over and asked with concern; "What's wrong today? Lying in bed in the dark light, are you tired? I was still criticized by the leader, and when I came back, I looked unhappy, and I had any grievances and unhappiness in my heart, so I told my mother. ”

The mother sat on the edge of Xiaoli's bed, took her hand, stroked her daughter's soft hair, Xiaoli snuggled in her mother's arms, pillowed her head on her mother's lap, and muttered a little thoughtfully; "It's nothing, I'm a little tired today and want to rest early."

In recent days, Xiaoli has been preoccupied, losing her old laughter, her emotional changes, her mother sees it in her eyes, hurts in her heart, is very worried, looks at her daughter lying in her arms, and says in a soothing tone; "No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must think about it, otherwise, you will be worried about your body."

Xiaoli looked at her mother quietly and didn't speak. The mother felt that her daughter had something to say but couldn't say it, and she was a little embarrassed, so it was not good to ask again, the mother knew her daughter too well, and knew that it was useless to ask again, and there would be no result.

The extremely cultivated mother understands; It's normal for a daughter to have her own secrets, and everyone in the world will pass through this age, so there's nothing strange about it.

The daughter's heart, it is better to be an elder and ask less, thinking of this, the mother got up and said; "Since you're tired, let's go to sleep quickly, I won't delay your rest."

Mother went downstairs, sat down on the couch, and sighed. The husband looked at his wife anxiously, as if asking her, but the wife didn't pay attention to the old man immediately, drank a few sips of water, sighed again, and said; "Xiaoli is a little bit wrong these days, she has a bad appetite, she can't eat, she talks less, she is preoccupied, she must have something on her mind, she doesn't say anything when she asks her, I don't know what's wrong."

The old man said anxiously; "Even you can't ask, it seems that the matter is not small, so what can she do?"

The wife pondered for a moment and began to analyze; "The leaders of her unit are all acquaintances, and they won't hide anything from us, if there is really something, they will tell us a long time ago. Xiaoli's partnership is also very smooth, I haven't heard of conflicts between the two of them, what else can they do? I really can't figure out what the problem is. ”

The old man pondered for a long time, afraid that his judgment would not be accurate, so he could only ask his wife vaguely; "Is there a conflict with Xiao Wang? You see if that's possible. ”

My wife was a little suspicious, thought about it, and said in disbelief; "Wouldn't it? I was often with Xiao Wang's mother, and I didn't hear anything from her. ”

The old man then asked; "Recently, have Xiaoli and Xiaowang exchanged many letters? Do you understand? ”

My wife said; "The correspondence is between the two of them, and it's not easy for parents to ask, right?"

The old man said; "That's, that's, think about it again, what else is there to make my daughter have so much pressure?"

My wife said; "Let's stop thinking about it, it's useless to think about it too much. When Xiaoli is in a better mood, I will ask her on the side. ”

The old man said helplessly; "That's all there is to it, so let's wait and talk."

The old couple didn't speak again, both of them were sighing, and the figures on the TV in front of them were swaying back and forth, what kind of program was playing, and no one in the old couple watched it.

The dreary air flowed in the dreary living room, covering the living room, the two old men, and the two small western-style buildings.

Speaking of Xiaoli and Xiaowang, I have to say a few more words; Xiao Wang and Xiao Li are of the same age, and the two of them are very familiar with each other, because the two families are world friends, Xiao Li's mother often goes to Xiao Wang's house with Xiao Li, and after a long time, Xiao Li has become the ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of Xiao Wang's mother.

Xiao Wang's mother often mentioned Xiao Li in front of Xiao Li's parents, and gradually the more she spoke, the more she understood, hoping to be their daughter-in-law, Xiao Li's parents watched Xiao Wang grow up, and felt that this child was good in all aspects, hindering the relationship with the two families, and the heart should be down, but he didn't say it, to put it bluntly, that is, he acquiesced.

On a holiday, when Xiao Wang's parents and Xiao Li's parents were chatting together, they solemnly stated their thoughts and spoke directly; "Xiao Wang and Xiao Li are not young, and it's time to find a partner. The two of us have an idea, now I want to ask your opinions, can we form a family of children? ”

Xiaoli's parents were directly proposed, although they had already been mentally prepared, but they were still caught off guard, the two families often mentioned the marriage of their children in the past, just as a gossip and a smile, Xiaoli's parents did not take it seriously. As everyone knows, once Xiao Wang's mother officially proposed it, she was still a little surprised, Xiaoli's mother said; "Our two families have a good relationship, we know each other's children, as elders, we don't have any opinions, if the two families can get married, it will be a great thing. However, we should go back separately and explain it to our children first, and finally let them decide, do you think so? ”

Xiao Wang's mother said; "You're right, the marriage of the children, we don't necessarily count, we have to listen to the children's opinions, if they agree, let them get along for a while, according to the results of the two of them, and then, we will make a decision more securely."

Xiaoli's mother said; "So be it, it's a word. However, there are some things that have to be explained clearly to the children in advance, and they can't be left to their temperament, and you have to put some pressure on them if necessary. ”

Xiao Wang's mother said; "It's easy for me to say here, I understand my child, what I say to his father, my son still respects it very much, I don't dare to say that I am 100% sure, more than 90% of the way is still there."

Xiaoli's mother said; "Since there is no big problem on your side, it seems that we have to talk to Xiaoli when we go back, my daughter has a strong personality and can't be hard. If she readily agrees, it will save trouble, in case she does not agree, you have to do the work slowly, convince her that it will take a certain amount of time, you don't rush too much. ”

Xiao Wang's mother continued; "It's also said that it's useless for us to be in a hurry, as the saying goes; Good food is not afraid of being late. ”

Xiaoli's mother said solemnly; "Just in case, there are some things that have to be said in advance, and it is best for both of our children to agree, if one of the children does not agree, this family affair will not be concluded, I am worried that it will affect the relationship between our two families?"

Xiao Wang's mother said; "You don't have to worry about this, the two of us promise you that if you really want to do what you said, the children don't agree to the marriage, and we can't force them, our two families have been friends for decades, and we won't affect the relationship between our two families because the children can't get along."

Xiaoli's mother said; "The two children are already older, they have their own ideas, it's not that we have to make decisions for the children, this is not all, the main thing is that our two families have a good relationship, and we want to kiss each other, what a good thing, so I want to try my best to promote this marriage, you two say it's right, right?"

Xiao Wang's mother said; "Our intentions are good, but how are they actually working? I don't know the bottom of my heart. Let's hope it doesn't backfire. ”

Xiaoli's father and Xiao Wang's father, each listened to his wife talk about his children's marriage, and it was those few words that were repeated over and over again, and he was a little impatient to listen, Xiao Wang's father said; "You two keep talking, the two of us can't say a word, between the two children, don't worry too much about the elders, you can only thread the needle, whether it is successful or not, it is up to the children to decide, you two have already made this matter clear, I see this, say something else, okay?"

Xiaoli's father chimed in; "Lao Wang is completely right, I raise my hands in approval. The woman's family is her mother-in-law's, and it's still those two sentences, don't say it anymore, the two of us are a little annoyed to listen to it. ”

When Xiaoli got home from work, her mother roughly told her daughter what she meant with Xiao Wang's parents, saying that she was asking for Xiaoli's opinion, but in fact, there was an element of pressure in her words. The father helped her mother play the round from the side, and Xiaoli was upset when she heard it, and in order to get rid of her parents' chatter as soon as possible, she reluctantly agreed to her parents' request.

Although Xiaoli promised to associate with Xiao Wang, there were a hundred unhappy in her heart, but she had no choice but to reluctantly get along with Xiao Wang.

Xiaoli is a strong-willed person, in order not to embarrass her parents, she copes with Xiao Wang lukewarmly, and makes him retreat. Xiaoli still obeys her own wishes in her heart, and always looks for happiness and joy.

…………。

After Fang Wei was discharged from the hospital, he went to work the next day. Colleagues complained to him that Fang Wei was unreasonable in the matter of hospitalization, and the address of the hospital was not told to everyone, everyone had the heart to see him, and they didn't know which hospital to go to.

In the complaint of his colleagues, Fang Wei was embarrassed, his slightly pale face was flushed, and his colleagues saw that Fang Wei was silent, looking embarrassed, so it was difficult to say anything.

Fang Wei understands that his colleagues care about him, and everyone should say a few words of complaint, so he will not make any excuses.

After the colleague complained, he told Fang Wei; "In the few days he was hospitalized, a woman called several times and asked him when he would come back, and if he came back, give her a call, and she could hear from her voice that she was anxious."

Fang Wei guessed that no one would call him except Xiaoli. I wanted to use the unit phone to go back immediately, but I was afraid that my colleagues would hear it, and it would be time to make a joke about him.

It was almost noon, Fang Wei greeted his colleagues, said to go out to do something, walked to the street alone, found the public phone, and called Xiaoli.

Fang Wei came to the gate of the park according to the agreement with Xiaoli, at this time, it was completely dark, Fang Wei looked at his watch, and he arrived half an hour early.

So, he walked under the street lamp, took out the book from his bag and looked at it a few times, the street lamp was too dim to read the words clearly, so he had to close the book and put it back in his satchel.

Fang Wei walked back and forth boringly, looked up into the distance from time to time, his hands were idle, he was fumbling in his pocket, he inadvertently took out a cigarette from his pocket, sniffed it close to his nose, the strong smell of tobacco went straight to his head, Fang Wei felt a little disgusted, and put the cigarette in his trouser pocket.

This time, Fang Wei was sick and hospitalized, and the doctor did not allow him to smoke, and smoking was not allowed in the ward, and the smoking was almost cut off. Fang Wei thought; It's a blessing in disguise, and you can save a lot of money.

The half pack of cigarettes in Fang Wei's pocket was the leftover he smoked before he got sick, and he smelled it just now and almost vomited. Thinking of this, Fang Wei rubbed the cigarette with his hands, walked to the side of the trash can, and threw it in.

Fang Wei recovered from his illness, his cigarette was broken, and his mood was relaxed, compared with before his illness, he was like two people.

Fang Wei sat on the steps on the side of the road, looking up at the sky, at this time, the moon didn't know where to hide, the deep and dark sky, the stars shrouded in clouds and mist appeared and disappeared from time to time, like blinking little eyes, shining brightly.

Fang Wei looked at the scattered stars, thinking, at this moment, a bright light shot directly at him, a familiar car stopped in front of him, with a few horns, Xiaoli got out of the car, Fang Wei quickly got up and went forward.
