After hearing what Pei Donglai said, Li Xin fell silent, but drank even more.
After the two of them finished drinking half of the drink, Pei Dong saw that Li Xin was a little drunk and said, "How about we go back."
"No, I'm still drinking," Li Xin said angrily.
Pei Donglai opened another bottle for Li Xin and asked: "Drink slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xin picked up the cup and drank another full cup. Pei Donglai was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Xin took advantage of the wine and asked, "Do you really have no idea about me at all?"
In fact, Pei Donglai had thought before that Li Xin was indeed a good girl, well-behaved, good-tempered, and had a stable job. In this small county with a big hand, it was really hard to find a girl like this.
But how to say it? It lacks a little bit of excitement, but if you stay in your hometown forever, Li Xin is indeed a good choice.
Pei Donglai was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Li Xin, you are a nice girl, but we have not known each other for a long time, and we do not know each other well yet. I am very happy to meet you. Let's start as friends." ".
Li Xin was a little disappointed, but not disappointed, and said: "Well, you are right, let's start as friends."
Not long after, the two went back.
The next day, after lunch, grandma kicked the two of them out for a date again.
Li Xin took Pei Donglai to visit Xishan in County A. The two of them climbed to the top of the mountain, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Li Xin pointed to a school at the foot of the mountain and said: "That's where I went to high school. Time flies so fast. It's been nearly 10 years since I graduated."
Just after finishing speaking, Li Xin slipped and fell. It seemed a serious fall. Li Xin screamed in pain. Pei Donglai hurriedly carried Li Xin down the mountain and sent him to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, Li Xin's feet were swollen. Although it was nothing serious, she would have to stay in the hospital for at least a few days.
Since Li Xin could not move her legs and feet, her grandmother was old, and her uncle and aunt were out of town, Pei Donglai had no choice but to take leave from his work unit and take care of Li Xin in the hospital.
Li Xin said: "I'm sorry, Donglai, I troubled you to drive me here, but now I trouble you to take care of me."
Pei Donglai: "It's okay. The work unit is not busy anyway, so I will have nothing to do when I go back."
The next day, Li Xin's parents rushed over and saw Pei Donglai busy taking care of Li Xin in the hospital.
I was secretly happy: This future son-in-law is really good. Not only is he talented, he is also good at taking care of others.
After saying hello, Li Xin's parents saw that nothing was wrong with their daughter, so they left on the pretext of being busy with work. In fact, they wanted to give the two of them a chance to be alone together.
Li Xin couldn't see it and was a little angry, saying: "It seems that they don't regard me as their biological daughter. They just came and left. It's better not to come."
Pei Donglai knew about Li Xin's situation. She complained about her parents treating her like this when she was a child, in order to prevent Li Xin from misunderstanding her parents.
Pei Donglai said: "Li Xin, my uncle and aunt are actually very concerned about you. After you were injured, they rushed here in a hurry. I just saw them asking the doctor and they went back after knowing that your condition was not serious."
"That must have been too fast. It was less than half an hour before and after."
"Don't you see that?"
"What do you see?"
"They wanted to give us a chance to be alone together."
Hearing what Pei Donglai said, Li Xin instantly felt that she was her biological child. It turned out that the key to having such great parents was to be sensible.
At night, Pei Donglai slept on another bed in the ward with Li Xin.
Over the past few days, Li Xin became more and more moved after seeing what Pei Donglai had done for him, and slowly fell in love with Pei Donglai.
On the western day, the doctor said that I could be discharged from the hospital and just go home and apply medicine by myself.
Li Xin still couldn't walk alone, so Pei Donglai carried her in the car, and the two returned to County B together.
After returning home, Pei's mother said happily: "Son, that's good. Have you discussed when to get married?"
"Mom, why did you mention getting married?"
"Any relationship that is not for the purpose of marriage is just a hooligan, and I will not allow you to be a hooligan."
Pei Donglai wanted to say, "You haven't started falling in love yet?" But he couldn't say that. If his mother knew that this was the case, she would have to break his legs.
Then the mother explained: "Son, you get up earlier every day during this period, and go to send Xiaoxin to school before going to work. This is an order and will not be refuted."
Pei Donglai wanted to speak, but seeing his mother's serious face, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
The next day, Pei Donglai followed his mother's instructions and came to Li Xin's house early and knocked on the door.
Mother Li opened the door: "Donglai, why are you here so early?"
"Auntie, I'm here to pick up Xiaoxin and go to work."
"I told the child yesterday to rest at home first and wait until her leg heals before going to school, but she is stubborn and it is too troublesome for you."
"No trouble, Auntie."
"You young people are still good at creating romance. If only his father was half as good as you."
After finishing speaking, Mother Li called her daughter: "Xiaoxin, hurry up, Donglai has come to pick you up."
After a few minutes, Li Xin came out of the room and said, "Donglai, it's too troublesome for you."
Although Li Xin said it was troublesome, she hoped in her heart that Pei Dong would come to pick her up every day.
Pei Donglai knelt down and said, "I'll carry you."
"Lai Dong, I walked slowly by myself."
Mother Li saw that her daughter was a little embarrassed to let Pei Dong carry it, so she said to her daughter: "Don't be so annoying, hurry up, we are going to be a family soon, why are you pretending to be reserved?"
Pei Donglai carried Li Xin downstairs and into the car. After arriving at school, he carried Li Xin to the office before leaving.
Many teachers saw it and commented: Teacher Li is so lucky to have found a handsome and caring boyfriend.
Even the students said: "Teacher Li, your boyfriend is so handsome."
Everyone said that Li Xin was very happy.
In this way, Pei Donglai carried Li Xin on his back for two weeks.
During this time, the relationship between the two gradually deepened.
One night, Pei Donglai came home and heard his parents discussing marriage. Pei Donglai said to his parents: "Mom, Dad, I don't want to get married yet."
Mother Pei was furious: "You bastard, do you have the guts to say it again?"
Father Pei patted Mother Pei's back and said, "Son, don't be angry with your mother."
Looking at his excited mother, Pei Donglai didn't dare to say anything anymore. Once his mother had a problem, it would be too late to regret it.
"You make arrangements, I'm going to bed," Pei Dong said and returned to the bedroom.
Lying in bed, Pei Donglai couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Could he end his life here?
Thinking back to the time when I graduated, I secretly made a vow to make a name for myself in Jiangcheng. I never thought that I would come back to live here one day. Moreover, once I got married, I would never be able to leave here.
But Pei Donglai didn't dare to act rashly because his mother's illness was there.
Sometimes I think about it, it’s actually good to stay in my hometown. The poetry and the distance may be just an illusion. I have been wandering outside for so many years and ended up getting divorced. Isn’t it a blessing to go home?
Pei Donglai was in a dilemma and didn't fall asleep until almost dawn.
