Li Yingzhen joined the Salvation Army.Wang De still couldn't find a job. Apart from asking his father for a few dollars, he was still full of pride and refused to give in to anything.Li Ying went out in the morning and came back in the evening, and when he went out to the streets for a meeting, he sometimes came back very late.The time when Wang De went in and out was not constant. He found out that Aunt Zhao was going out, so he tried to go out later or come back earlier so that he could have a few words with Li Jing.Li Jing persuaded him several times, telling him to go home to help his father manage the land, and to be a farmer honestly was no more uncomfortable than working in the city.At first Wang De responded with words, but then he couldn't control his mouth once.He said: "Sister Jing! I have two wishes, which must be fulfilled: first, I want to do some business in the city; second, I want to marry you. If I don't succeed in one of them, I will die!" Weihong didn't answer.

Wang De said these words thousands of times in his dream, but he dared not say them to her.I said it today, and I broke out in a hot sweat.It seems that the river that has been silted up for a long time is looking for an outlet, everything in my heart and the overflow of the river cannot be stopped. "Sister Jing! Sister Jing!" He stepped forward to hold her hand. "I love you!" "Brother! Why are you so dumb?" "I won't stay, I love you, I love you!" Although Wang De was upset, he still didn't forget to use the word "love" to represent his heart.

"Let go of my hand, aunt will be back soon!" He didn't let go of her hand, so she didn't refuse anymore and let him hold it, holding it tighter. "I'm not afraid of my aunt, I love you! If you don't agree to me, I'll die!" "You go out first, and come back when my aunt goes out in the afternoon!" "I want you to promise me now! You promised me, and I will not see you for ten years, and I am willing, because I know that there is someone who loves me in the world! Say it! Sister Jing!" "You are so young, brother! I will Can't answer you? Auntie will be back!"

Wang De knew his aunt's kindness and strictness, and the blood in his heart turned into tears.Li Jing's eyes were also wet.The two wiped their tears with their hands clasped together, but it was not known whose hand wiped whose tears. "I love you! Sister!" Wang De said, let go of her hand and walked out. He went out of the street, and Aunt Zhao was coming from the east. He originally wanted to go east, but went west instead, because he was afraid that his aunt would see the red circles under his eyes. Li Jing seemed to have lost something in her hand, she stared blankly at herself in the mirror.Unknowingly, she raised her hand and kissed her, and there were his teardrops on her hand.Aunt Zhao came in, but Li Jing didn't hear her.

"Jing'er! Come and pick up the things!" She lazily wiped her eyes dry with a towel, and came out to pick up something her aunt had bought - she didn't know what it was. "Girl! Why are you crying again!" "Not crying, auntie!" She forced a smile. "I know—know what's on your mind, don't hide it from me." "I really didn't cry!" "What's the matter?" "I—I feel a little uncomfortable. I sneezed like I was crying." "Is that so? Your uncle was disobedient and insisted on giving you rotten persimmons yesterday. Look, are you sick! This old—" The good woman began to worry. "Good boy, go lie down and put your things here first. What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you. By the way, you like tender boiled chicken, I'll go buy it! I'll go buy it!"

"Auntie, I don't want to eat anything, I'll just lie down and lie down!" "Don't worry about me, I'll buy it! Sun Dongdong's small shop has big red-skinned oily chicken, which is so big." Aunt Zhao compared it with her hands, okay As big as a chicken is a teapot.After finishing speaking, he stretched his feet horizontally, swung his fat sleeves and ran out like an old swan who couldn't fly.Li Jing was lying on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking or crying about, but she thought, cry! Thinking of my dead parents, my uncle, Li Ying, Wang De...I didn't want to cry, for fear of hurting my aunt, but I couldn't stop. ... I don't want to think about it, but there are many figures one inch long in my mind. ... Forget Wang De, who are you crying for?Crying for Wang De?It's not just him who thinks! ... If love has no bitterness, where can you taste sweetness?If love has no tears, where does laughter come from?Love is mysterious, precious, and necessary. Without him, the world is just a piece of withered grass and yellow sand. It is interesting and real to cry, laugh and be confused for love!If people do not have the freedom to fall in love, all freedom is false; if people do not have love between the sexes, all love is vain.Now Li Jing is crying and has tasted the sweetness of love!Her heart is like a flower ready to bloom, regardless of anything to release her fragrance, beauty, beauty!She is like a lone goose flying in the dark clouds, watching and crying, calling, her mate!She herself didn't know what to cry, what to think, what to be ashamed of, or what to hope for.Only these inexpressible emotions are the abode of love.Love is gradually combined with those of the opposite sex by these self-conscious sweetness, and then it is happy.In this situation, it is like a blind poet, sitting among the flowers at night, appreciating the indescribable sweetness; only drops of dew, soaking his sleeves, are like tears of lovers!

Aunt Zhao came back in less than ten minutes.From outside the door, he shouted, half crying and half laughing: "Jing'er! Jing'er! My aunt is very old!" Li Jing sat up and looked out through the glass, only to see her aunt holding two chickens in her left hand, and wiping bright yellow egg juice from the skirt of her clothes with her right hand. "It's terrible, I'm such a useless old thing! Half of the four chickens fell! Just go fast, don't look at the electric poles, look!" Aunt Zhao said, wiped, cried, laughed, all at the same time. busy. Aunt Zhao cooked the chicken in a small iron pot, wiped her tears with her hands, and blew the heat from the pot with her mouth, so that she could watch the chicken roll a few times in the pot.She kept saying, "Girls like to eat tender ones, tender ones..." He just kept talking, not keeping track of the time, when he took out the chicken and saw that it had been boiled and cracked.

The most violent family revolution in China is when the children refuse the food given by the elders.Eat nine and a half, if the elders give you ten, at least you are also a foreigner reincarnated.Li Jing didn't want to make her aunt lose her temper, so she ate the chicken slowly.Then cheer up and try to help my aunt with her work, but my aunt stopped me. "Auntie, I'm so good!" Li Jing said. "Isn't it? It's good to eat chicken! When I was young, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were alive, chicken? I can't eat a single chicken feather! My stomach will always be more than half empty. I just hope that your uncle will take me back to my mother's house for a few days." God, eat something. Just eat it! My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not bad to me, they have to set rules for their daughter-in-law. Fortunately, you have your uncle. If it weren't for him, I would have been so hungry! Speaking of Your uncle, suffer this now, if God wears glasses, he will not be able to see the good and the bad! Jinger! When your uncle comes back, you ask him for a dollar, buy some things for your uncle and send them to him. That brother of mine treats me really well, I will never forget him!"

My aunt and niece talked nonsense for a while, and my aunt repeated what had been said one hundred and twenty-five times to one hundred and twenty-six times.Li Jing didn't need to listen, she could always answer well.After lunch, Aunt Zhao went to Dongcheng to visit relatives. Wang De didn't go far away, he just circled around the Huguo Temple.Sometimes I walked into the temple and stared blankly at the Bodhisattva who was out of luck and lacked robes and hats through the dilapidated temple door.He noticed that Aunt Zhao had gone out and hurried back.He gently opened the street door, and went to his own room first, in case his aunt didn't go out before going out.When I got to my room, I imitated the detective in the novel, leaning my ear against the wall to listen for any movement in my aunt's room.After listening for a long time, there was no sound and no dog barking, then slowly opened the door and called out "Sister Jing!" in a low voice.

"Come in, Wang De!" Li Jing was sitting on a small chair, Wang De didn't say anything, and went up to kiss her. Except for savages who can kiss in bright daylight, civilized people don't kiss, and even if they kiss, they are also in the shadows.Now these two barbaric men and women are like this, you say... I have nothing to say! They really dared to take risks, they dared to act recklessly, they kissed again, you said,...... "You go, Wang De, I understand your heart!"
