Chapter 12: Encounter Love
There is a vacant lot outside the yard of the substation.
How good it would be to grow some vegetables here, growing vegetables, my forte, I just did what I said, dug the ground, spread film, planted eggplant, spicy seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
They were amazed to find that I, a small and weak girl, had so much strength to grow such a good dish
One night, when the weather was hot, I was chilling in the courtyard, the sky was clear, the insects were chirping, the trees were standing guard, and everything on the earth was bathed in the bright moonlight.
Director Zhang walked out, he rested tonight, they worked in pairs, one person moved, 24-hour shifts, every once in a while to go to the back yard to inspect a trip, and they couldn't sleep on night shift.
"We can't finish the vegetables you planted, let Xiao Zhao and Lao Xu bring some home today, what skills do you still have to use?" Director Zhang asked.
"I've been working in the fields since I was a child, and I'm used to it."
"You've been here for four months? I've never seen you have family members coming, do you have relatives at home? ”
"At home, at home......" I don't know how to answer.
"Embarrassed?" He looked at me gently, his face full of anticipation.
"There are fathers, stepmothers, and sisters-in-law at home."
"And how did you get to town?"
"I, I'm divorced, and there's nowhere to go."
"Divorced, divorced at such a young age?"
"In order to marry a daughter-in-law for the eldest brother."
"Then why get divorced?"
"They don't treat me well!"
His face flashed a hint of surprise and a hint of pity: "It's also a bitter child, but it's going to get better and better, are you used to being here?" ”
I hastened to reply: "Habit, very habitual." ”
Since then, he has always given me strange looks, often helped me carry water, took care of the vegetable patch, and sometimes helped to light the fire when I cooked.
The warmth enveloped me, and I was happy and nervous, and for a moment I wondered, could he like me? After a while, I thought, how can I be an abandoned and divorced woman? How could I have such thoughts?
But I can clearly feel his warmth and kindness! Is it my delusion? Except for Qian Jiangjiang, I have relatively little contact with boys, and I don't understand boys at all, let alone how to get along with them.
One day after breakfast, Director Zhang: "I'm resting today and planning to go to town, which of you goes?" "Lao Xu and Xiao Zhao have to be on duty and can't leave, and Lao Li and Xiao Yao are close to home and want to go home.
Face me: "Are you going?" ”
I was very eager to go out for a walk, but I was very nervous to go alone with him, and I didn't know how to answer.
"Go ahead, girls, they all like to go to the market." Lao Li and Xiao Yao said.
I followed him out the door, the sun had just generously shone his golden light, the birds were singing on the branches, the dark green leaves were swaying in the wind, I sat on the bike, his back was broad, and I imagined what it would be like if I could put my face on his back.
Soon arrived in town: "Buy whatever you need, buy some sassafras oil, hand cream, and a pair of gloves for you, and bring gloves for future vegetable planting." ”
I took everything he said, and when I paid the money, he rushed to pay, and I said that I would give him ten yuan, but he couldn't resist it, so he accepted it: "Then I'll invite you to dinner!" ”
He ordered food, asked for rice, and asked for a small bottle of white wine, and he said while putting vegetables in my bowl, "Eat more, you are too thin." ”
I nodded, not daring to look him in the eye.
He drank a few glasses of white wine.
Walked out of the restaurant: "There is a Taishan Temple near here, haven't you been there, I'll take you around?" ”
"Good"
So we rode to the bottom of the mountain, Taishan Temple is at the top of the mountain, the road is very steep, but fortunately the steps have been repaired.
He stopped the bike and we started climbing.
He walked in front and I followed: "Can you move around?" Come, give me your hand, I'll hold you. ”
I shyly and obediently stretched out my hand, he grabbed my hand, held it tightly in his palm, the hand was big, so warm, the electricity instantly spread all over my body, I was a little flustered.
Walking to a platform, he took me into his arms, his lips pressed down, I didn't have time to react, my mouth was covered, the fire was burning on me, he was short of breath and sweating profusely. I pushed him hard before he looked away: "I like you, do you like me?" ”
I replied shyly, "Yes, but ......"
"It's okay, I'm not disgusted."
I was excited with tears rolling in my eyes, and I looked up at the sky, God, what blessings have I accumulated?
He shouted to the valley beneath his feet, and we climbed hand in hand, and the trees on both sides of the steps seemed to beckon to us, the sun smiled, the birds cheered, the flowers nodded, and the wind caressed......
At the top of the mountain, there is a big statue in the temple: "Here is the worship of Fuxi, our ancestor," he said.
I secretly made a wish to the statue: "May we be so happy forever." ”
We walked down the hill hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, and returned to the house, where it was getting dark.
He went on duty, and I cooked for everyone, feeling light, and cooking faster.
When the full moon climbed up the window, I lay on the bed, thinking about the day and his scenes, and laughed, did I meet love?
