That night, Li Xiufen and Zheng Bichang didn't talk for long, it was Zheng Bichang who had scruples, worried that someone would find out and damage Li Xiufen's reputation, after all, the flight is short and long, and people are terrible. Li Xiufen wrapped her clothes tightly and went back, the cool breeze hit, she couldn't help but shiver, and in an instant, she felt afraid of her recklessness, she was not a casual woman, how could she abuse herself because of her anger?This is to meet Zheng Bichang, a gentleman, if she meets a man with ill intentions, the loss of moderation is small, in case there is a bad thing that is unclear in the future, what should she do?The more Li Xiufen thought about it, the more scared she became.
It's late at night, and most people are already asleep. Li Xiufen couldn't sleep, she kept blaming herself, her mature body was seen by a third man, this time she took the initiative, will Zheng Bichang laugh at herself?Alas, no matter what, is your reputation good?hated Shen Changhuai and Du Hua, under their troubles, she had already been ruined, perhaps in the eyes of her neighbors, she was a watery Yanghua woman. Li Xiufen felt aggrieved, what did she do wrong?Isn't it just trying to defend your home?was arbitrarily slandered by Shen Changhuai and his wife. Yes, he and Zhang Yunmin slept together, but they were rushing to get married, not adulterers and adulteresses. Do you deserve to be a widow if you have lost your husband?What kind of bullshit is this!What age is it, and who is qualified to deprive women of the right to pursue happiness?
Li Xiufen was confused and cranky. When she thought of Zheng Bichang, she couldn't help but admire, in her consciousness, an old bachelor in her forties, when she met a woman who took the initiative to give her arms, she didn't know how to be ecstatic and anxious, but his calmness and righteousness showed that he was a righteous gentleman, and fortunately, it was his calmness that did not let himself do foolish things and ruin his reputation. Zheng Bichang is a good man, he doesn't sit still, and his personality is upright, why didn't he find it before?Alas, you really can't distinguish people by appearance, you still have to look at your character. Li Xiufen thought about it and fell asleep in a daze.
This ordinary night is destined to be unpeaceful. After Li Xiufen left, Zheng Bichang lost his soul and smoked wildly. Only he knew how much he liked Li Xiufen, and only he knew that the moment he saw Li Xiufen's white and plump body, his heart almost jumped out. He is not a saint, as a bachelor who has entered middle age, how eager and eager to get a woman, especially the woman he thinks about day and night takes the initiative to come to the door, revealing his naked body. Zheng Bichang believes that if he hadn't deliberately controlled it, he would definitely go up hungry like a tiger, but he is a human being, a thinking person, not a livestock. He knew that Li Xiufen was desperate for everything, and he would definitely regret it afterwards.
Zheng Bichang believes that there must be a bottom line in life, and he can't do anything at all when he takes advantage of people's danger, they all say that people are not disabled, others can despise him and look down on him, but he must be self-respecting and self-respecting, be an open-minded man, and do not deceive a man in the dark room, as for what others do, he can't care, that's someone else's business. The lights were turned off in the house, the lonely moon hung obliquely in the sky, and in the cold and lonely night, the street lamps on the street glowed with a dim light, and some of them shot in, shining on Zheng Bichang's cold face. He smoked an unknown number of cigarettes, and the floor was scattered and the whole room was filled with smoke. In his mind, there was always a picture of Li Xiufen naked, and he told himself, Zheng Bichang, as long as you don't do it, it shouldn't be a crime, right?
For three days in a row, Li Xiufen didn't go to Zheng Cripple's fire shop to buy fire, she was a little embarrassed, the more adults she cared about her face. Isn't that true of Zheng Bichang?In order to avoid embarrassment, he would rather run an extra hundred and ten meters to the store to buy cigarettes. In the end, it was Zheng Bichang who broke the deadlock, he felt that whoever bought everything was bought, so why didn't Li Xiufen earn this money?Supporting her business is what is good for her. Zheng Bichang's addiction to smoking is not big, but he can't leave it. He came in the evening, there was no one in the store, he shouted twice, Li Xiufen came from a hurry, she was making dumplings.
When Li Xiufen saw Zheng Bichang, her face turned red, but she quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile, Brother Zheng, buy cigarettes?Zheng Bichang said with a smile, buy a box of cigarettes, and buy five packs of salt by the way, there is no salt. The two tried their best to hide their embarrassment, and Li Xiufen asked, Brother Zheng, have you had dinner?Zheng Bichang said with a smile, isn't it easy to eat alone?When you're hungry, eat a fire. Li Xiufen said, what can I do by just eating fire?The weather is so dry, you still have to drink some hot soup. If you look at me, it's two people, but it's actually similar to one person, and I look forward to going home once a week, and the rest of the time I eat by myself, and I'm still changing. Noon soup noodles, no, now dumplings, people have to be kind to themselves.
Zheng Bichang said with a smile, Xiufen, you are ingenious and can make dumplings. You don't think I'm good at making fire, but I can't make dumplings, and I'm clumsy. Isn't it just eating, just fill your stomach casually, don't pay attention to it. Li Xiufen said with a smile, I'm also idle, seeing that the store is not busy, I just think about what to eat every day. By the way, Brother Zheng, I made a lot of dumplings today, you can eat them here. Zheng Bichang hurriedly waved his hand and said, no, no, you hurry up. With that, Zheng Bichang finished paying the money and hurried away with his things. He felt that Li Xiufen was just polite, how could he take it seriously.
Actually, Li Xiufen was indeed kind and casually said, but she looked at Zheng Bichang's limping back and suddenly felt pity. She thinks about knowing Zheng Bichang for a few years, to be honest, he is really good, down-to-earth and hard-working, with a warm heart, and then think about it, he is a bright and upright man. Thinking of this, Li Xiufen decided to wrap more dumplings and serve them to him. After a busy time, the sky gradually got dark, Li Xiufen first gave Zheng Bichang a bowl, she knew that men had a large amount of rice, used a yellow sea bowl, and sprinkled some green onions and coriander in the soup. In this way, not only will the dumplings taste good, but the soup will also be delicious.
When Li Xiufen passed over with dumplings, she didn't care about other people's eyes at all. After all, it was dark, and Zheng Bichang had stopped burning it, but there were still more than a dozen unsold fires on the stove, so he couldn't close the door. Zheng Bichang didn't boil the soup, but just burned it and drank cold water. For so many years, he has been Xi to this, especially when the unsold fire is hot the next day, the taste is not very good. When he saw Li Xiufen coming with hot dumplings, he was flattered and said busily, oops, there's really no need to bother, I'm full casually. Li Xiufen saw the half bowl of cold water next to her, and couldn't help but feel distressed, Brother Zheng, the more you live alone, the more you can't make do, if there is a small illness or disaster, there is no one around you who cares.
Zheng Bichang said with a smile, Xi is used to it, but there is a headache and fever, and it is quite over. Li Xiufen sighed secretly and said, Brother Zheng, eat it while it's hot, I'll go back. As she spoke, Li Xiufen turned around to leave. Zheng Bichang said in his heart, let's go first, let's take a few fires. Li Xiufen shook her head and said, no need, you're really polite, we've been neighbors for many years. Li Xiufen walked away, Zheng Bichang picked up the dumplings, felt the aroma, and in an instant, his eyes moistened.
Zheng Bichang finished eating the dumplings, brushed the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to Li Xiufen. Li Xiufen was sitting behind the counter watching TV. Originally, the TV was upstairs, but she spent most of her time in the store, so she simply moved down. Zheng Bichang handed over the dishes and chopsticks, said thank you, and then turned around to leave. Li Xiufen said, Brother Zheng, it's okay for you to go back, what's the point of staying in the house, sit here and watch TV. Zheng Bichang hesitated, and Li Xiufen couldn't help laughing at herself, what's wrong, are you afraid that you will be talked about when you are with me?Zheng Bichang hurriedly explained, no, what's the matter, in my eyes, you are good.
Li Xiufen smiled, then you can sit down, I haven't watched much TV recently, but I'm idle and bored, so I should pass the time. By the way, Brother Zheng, is the store closed?Zheng Bichang said solemnly, there was no business after dark, and it was closed. Li Xiufen asked again, can you make a lot of money this year?Zheng Bichang couldn't help but sneer, this is a small business, what kind of money can we make!Just barely making ends meet. You know, I'm a person with inconvenient legs and feet, and I can't farm, so I have to find another way. Li Xiufen said, Brother Zheng, I didn't expect you to be so humorous, I don't think your legs are serious?Why do you always mention the inconvenience of your legs and feet, the name of the store is still called Zheng Lame Fire Shop, many people have inconvenient legs and feet, and they are taboo, I am afraid that others will mention the word lame, where is it like you, I am afraid that others will not know.
Zheng Bichang said, yes, this can't be hidden, in fact, think about it, what's there, it's not a shameful thing, just accept it calmly. Li Xiufen said with a smile, you are a down-to-earth person with a good mentality. By the way, Brother Zheng, are your legs natural?Zheng Bichang said, born with polio, we don't understand the specifics. Li Xiufen asked, there was no treatment in the first place?Zheng Bichang said, why didn't you treat it, there was a lot of tossing, but I couldn't eat enough at that time, how can I cure it, this is much better than at the beginning. But I thought about it, my three brothers and sisters, if someone really has to get this disease, or I have the right one, if my sister does, it will be unlucky.
Zheng Bichang said, lit a cigarette, and the smoke was full for a while. Li Xiufen looked at Zheng Bichang, who was calm and leisurely in front of her, and couldn't help admiring, what a good man this is, God is really unfair, if he doesn't have inconvenient legs and feet, with his character and eloquence, he is definitely a well-known capable person in the village. Thinking of this, Li Xiufen changed the topic and said, Brother Zheng, you are not very old, why don't you find a companion?Look how hard you work alone!Zheng Bichang smiled bitterly and said, why haven't I looked for it before, normal people don't look down on us, someone has introduced two, one is deaf, and the other has a brain problem, it's not that I don't look down on them, in fact, if you think about it, once you get married, I need to take care of them, don't say, what if it's genetic?Forget it, there are times in life that you have to have, and there is nothing in life that you can't force it.
Li Xiufen sighed and couldn't help but say, this is fate, no one can escape. Zheng Bichang thought that Li Xiufen thought of her, and encouraged, you are different from me, you are young, good-looking, and beautiful, let me say that you should really find your own happiness, and you should be angry with yourself. Li Xiufen stared at Zheng Bichang and said unconfidently, am I as good as you say?Zheng Bichang immediately cut the railway, you are really good, it is my brother and sister-in-law's heart is too bad, and everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. Li Xiufen sighed resentfully, and couldn't help blurting out her debut, alas, if I am really so good, would you like to live with me?
After Li Xiufen said this, even she herself was stunned, and Zheng Bichang was even more dumbfounded. Li Xiufen didn't know, how could she can't help but say this?Zheng Bichang couldn't believe his ears, thinking that Li Xiufen must be ridiculing himself, and hurriedly smiled, Sister, you are just ridiculing me, where am I worthy of you. Needless to say, it's getting late, I should go back, lie down on the bed, close my eyes, and dream, there is everything in my dreams. Although Zheng Bichang said it with a smile, his tone was bleak and sad.
Li Xiufen didn't stop him, but watched him staggering away with a confused look in her eyes. To be honest, she was still in the shock of the amazing word just now, how could she suddenly pop out of a few words?How incompatible the two of them are!But what's not a good match?Am I noble?Is he lowly?I'm in my thirties, and I'm a widow who is dislikedMy reputation stinks, at least everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. Where is Zheng Bichang so low?Yes, his legs and feet are inconvenient, but he is self-reliant, earns money by craft, does not steal or rob, the key is that he is a good man and a gentleman, which many people can't compare. He's more than a decade older than me, so what's it?I want to remarry after all, instead of looking around and betting my fate on a man who doesn't know the details, why not bet on someone who knows the roots?
A group of people on the TV were singing and dancing, and it was very lively, and Li Xiufen was doing a fierce ideological struggle in her heart, affirming for a while and denying for a while. In the end, she resolutely made a decision, whether it was right or wrong, and no longer considered it, she was going to marry Zheng Bichang, and the happiness of this life was to be entrusted to him. Thinking of this, Li Xiufen suddenly felt relaxed, different from before, she finally has a direction now. It doesn't matter whether this family has or not, it's a big deal, she followed Zheng Bichang to fight the fire, even if she suffered, she was willing. After making up her mind, Li Xiufen closed her business earlier, and after deliberately dressing upstairs, she changed her clothes and went to Zheng Bichang, the difference from last time was that she was wearing clothes inside. Perhaps both have the same purpose, but the nature has changed.
Zheng Bichang, an old bachelor, listened to Li Xiufen's words just now, and he had insomnia again, only to see him lying on the bed, and the cigarette butts were all over the place. In the past two days, his addiction to smoking has obviously increased, one pack every three days before, and now three packs a day. Of course, he believed that Li Xiufen was joking, but it was still beautiful, at least which of her words could make him have endless memories. As the saying goes, a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, and the psychology of a bachelor in his forties is sensitive and easy to satisfy. After all, years of social repression and embarrassment in reality have made them recognize reality and have little to look forward to the future.
Li Xiufen came over, she looked at the stunned Zheng Bichang and said frankly, I have thought about it clearly, I want to be the woman of your life, but I can't marry you now. Only a few years later, when Yu Pan grows up, gets married and has children, can I follow you openly. I won't tell you anything, Changfeng and I have feelings, and if we don't arrange Yu Pan well, he won't be at ease under Jiuquan. Also, I can't let Shen Changhuai and his family succeed, and I must keep this family business to Yu Pan. Now it's up to you to agree or not, if you agree, let's go on like this first, if you don't agree, you just don't say anything.
What can Zheng Bichang say?If you can live with a woman like Li Xiufen, what is it if you live a few years less?Everything suddenly felt like a dream. Li Xiufen looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but get angry and said, do you agree or not?Zheng Bichang nodded vigorously, and said busily, I agree, definitely agree. Li Xiufen breathed a sigh of relief and said mischievously, then what are you still doing in a daze?Zheng Bichang was stunned, then understood, walked over in a hurry, and hugged Li Xiufen tightly.
