Ma Xiaohui paced back and forth by the roadside for a long time. He thought hard for a long time, but he still could not find a way to get the best of both worlds. He had no choice but to return home.
He had just walked into the courtyard when he realized that the lights in the house were still on. It looks like Mom is still awake. She's waiting for me to come back! Before he had dinner with Xiao Wei, he had brought back half a catty of dumplings with San Xian filling for his mother. However, he did not tell his mother that he was going to have dinner with Xiao Wei. Instead, he lied that his colleagues at work were treating him. Ma Xiaohui's mother knew that all the workers in the mine could drink. She was worried that her son, who could not drink, would drink too much, so she did not sleep. She was waiting for Ma Xiaohui to come back. Otherwise, how could she be at ease?
Seeing that her son was back, Ma Xiaohui's mother heaved a sigh of relief and said," Xiaohui, why are you back so late? Did you drink too much?" Seeing that his mother was worried about him, Ma Xiaohui felt very bad. It was already so late, but not only did she not sleep, but she was also sitting there waiting for him to come back. He regretted not telling his mother the truth and making his mother worry about him again. Hence, he quickly replied to his mother," Mom, I didn't drink white wine. I just drank a bottle of beer. We were chatting together until now. I'm fine. You don't have to worry. Go to sleep." Ma Xiaohui's mother saw that her son was really fine, so she lay down in bed.
His mother lay down to sleep, but Ma Xiaohui could not fall asleep no matter what. He couldn't lie down on his left or right. He flipped around, but he couldn't fall asleep.
There was only Ma Xiaohui and his mother in the room. Even breathing could be heard from his mother's side, but Ma Xiaohui lay in bed and wanted to catch his breath. There were a few times when he wanted to turn on the lights and go down to drink some water, but he was afraid of waking his mother who had just fallen asleep. Therefore, he would rather drink than move. He had been lying in bed and tormenting himself. No matter how much she struggled, she still couldn't fall asleep. Sigh, she might as well lie down in bed and count. Perhaps this was a good way to hypnotize her. One, two, three, four, five, six, he counted silently in his heart. When he counted to 100, Ma Xiaohui was still not sleepy. He was so angry that he covered his head with the blanket. This trick was quite effective. After a while, Ma Xiaohui really became dizzy.
Ma Xiaohui, who was in a daze, suddenly felt a chill on his body. The cold wind seemed to be piercing his bones and muscles. Therefore, he got up and rummaged around, trying to find a thicker piece of clothing to shield himself from the sudden cold. He searched for a long time, but he could not find a thicker piece of clothing. Just as he was shivering from the cold, suddenly, a very familiar voice called out to him,"Ma Xiaohui, come here. It's cold. I knitted a sweater for you." Put it on and see if it fits! Ma Xiaohui took the sweater and put it on. He immediately felt very warm. His body was no longer cold, and his heart was also warm.
Ma Xiaohui carefully examined the sweater on his body. It was a brick-red sweater. The size and weight were just right, as if it was tailor-made.
Ma Xiaohui lowered his head and looked at his sweater. When he raised his head, the familiar voice was gone, and the person who gave him the sweater was gone. Ma Xiaohui hurriedly looked around for that person, but he could not find him no matter how hard he looked. Therefore, he ran out of the door. He ran as fast as he could, but no matter how hard he ran, he still couldn't see that person.
Ma Xiaohui's legs were sore from running. He was so tired that he couldn't run anymore. He stopped. Ma Xiaohui caressed the sweater on his body. He knew that this sweater was from the Wen Nuan brand. Every single needle and thread of this sweater carried a sense of affection. The thousands of needles and thousands of threads of this sweater were weaving that deep love.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaohui began to run again and continued to chase. He crossed a large mountain and came to a small forest. Suddenly, he saw a figure. This figure seemed a little familiar. He focused his eyes and looked. Oh! It turned out that Xiao Wei was standing there. She seemed to be looking for something. Ma Xiaohui did not want him to notice him, so he turned around and wanted to escape. However, it was already too late. Xiao Wei had already discovered him.
The person who chased after others became the one being chased. Ma Xiaohui ran away, and Xiao Wei followed closely behind him. Ma Xiaohui, Ma Xiaohui, wait for me, wait for me!" Little Wei shouted as he chased after her.
Ma Xiaohui panicked and ran to the edge of the cliff. There was no path ahead. Looking down, he saw a bottomless abyss. He stood there hesitantly, not knowing whether to run or stay.
At this moment, he heard a familiar and friendly voice,"Xiao Hui, get up. It's time to go to work." He opened his eyes and saw that it was his mother calling him.
Ma Xiaohui was awakened by his mother's shout. It turned out that he was dreaming. He had a dream all night. How to choose the path ahead of this dream was very difficult for him. How to face the person in this dream was really very tiring.
When Little Wei returned home, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa." Girl, where did you go? Why did you come back so late?" Her mother's tone was filled with concern and blame. " Hehe, I went on a date with Ma Xiaohui," Xiao Wei replied happily. When Xiao Wei's mother heard that she was with Ma Xiaohui, she was naturally very happy. Because she liked Ma Xiaohui from the bottom of her heart, she did not say anything else.
Xiao Wei pondered for a night. From the beginning to the end, she thought that the person that Ma Xiaohui liked did not exist at all. That must be Ma Xiaohui's shield. Ma Xiaohui must have something that he could not say. Then, what was this secret? She had made several assumptions, but she later refuted them one by one because they were simply unfounded.
Although Xiao Wei still didn't know why Ma Xiaohui used that shield, she thought of a plan for herself.
The next day, Ma Xiaohui went to work. Xiao Wei also arrived at the unit. However, she asked for a day off from the leader and left in a hurry.
Xiao Wei did not go home. Instead, she went to Auntie Liu's place.
Auntie Liu was a little puzzled when she saw Xiao Wei. When Xiao Wei whispered in her ear, Auntie Liu smiled knowingly.
Xiao Wei followed Auntie Liu to Ma Xiaohui's house. When Ma Xiaohui's mother saw Xiao Wei, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. This was Xiao Wei's first time visiting Ma Xiaohui's house. She looked at the house carefully. Although this one was not that rich, it was still clean and tidy. A pair of red sandalwood boxes. Although they were very old, they looked spotless. The Kang mat on the Kang bed was obviously old, and the edge of the Kang had been patched. Ma Xiaohui's mother brought two cups of water with great difficulty and placed them in front of Auntie Liu and Little Wei respectively. She said," This thermos doesn't keep the tea warm, so the tea won't boil. The two of you can drink some plain water." Sister Ma, hurry up and get on the bed. We're not thirsty." Auntie Liu said as she helped Ma Xiaohui's mother onto the brick bed.
Little Wei saw that the kitchen was very messy, so he started to clean it up. Ma Xiaohui's mother wouldn't let Xiao Wei clean up no matter what, but Auntie Liu smiled and said," Sister Ma, don't worry about it. She's helping Ma Xiaohui clean up. That's their business. Why should we worry about that?"
Hahaha, Ma Xiaohui's mother also laughed. Xiao Wei was working in the kitchen while Auntie Liu and Ma Xiaohui's mother were chatting on the brick bed. The two of them chatted for a while before Auntie Liu got up to leave. Ma Xiaohui's mother kept asking her to stay, but Auntie Liu said that she had something to do at home and had to go back no matter what. Hearing Auntie Liu's words, Ma Xiaohui's mother could only let Auntie Liu go." Xiao Wei, help me send Auntie Liu off."" Hey!" Xiao Wei put down the rag in his hand and agreed.
Xiao Wei sent Auntie Liu away and went to the kitchen to clean up. As Ma Xiaohui's mother was not in good health, she had not cleaned up the kitchen for a long time. She only cleaned up the things in the house. She almost had to rest a few times before she could finish. Therefore, Ma Xiaohui had to clean up the kitchen. However, he was too busy at work, so cleaning up was a waste of time. Take this pot as an example. One could not see its original color at all. Little Wei wanted to use a wire brush to brush it out, but she couldn't find it after looking for a long time. She had to go to the small store to buy two wire brushes. After she returned, she started to get busy again.
" Xiao Wei, it's time to eat," Ma Xiaohui's mother said from the inner room. Xiao Wei looked at the watch on his wrist. Aiya! It was almost half-past twelve. Little Wei was so focused on his work that he forgot about lunch. She quickly put down what she was doing and walked out of the door.
Not long after, Little Wei returned with a bun in her hand. " Auntie, you must be hungry. I was so focused on work that I forgot about lunch!" Xiao Wei said as he brought the buns to Ma Xiaohui's mother. She quickly brought some cutlery and soy sauce from the kitchen. " Child, why are you buying buns? Don't we have food at home?" Ma Xiaohui's mother said to Little Wei. " I saw it. There's food, but we still have to wait for half a day to heat it up. I was afraid you'd be hungry!" Xiao Wei replied. " You should come and eat too," Ma Xiaohui's mother said. "Sigh!" Xiao Wei agreed and sat beside Ma Xiaohui's mother. The two of them chatted and laughed as they ate lunch.
After lunch, Little Wei went back to work. Ma Xiaohui's mother cried out for a long time, but she didn't seem to hear it and continued to work in the kitchen.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Xiao Wei wiped all the windows clean. Then, she washed her face and left with her bag.
When Ma Xiaohui's mother realized that Xiao Wei had left, it was too late to call out to him. This child, why didn't he even say goodbye when he left!
Ma Xiaohui's mother complained about Xiao Wei in her heart.
