Tonight, Ma Xiaohui's mother was very happy. Tong Ling was also very happy. Ma Xiaohui was even happier. The three of them ate and drank while talking and laughing. They ate dumplings for a long time.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tong Ling got up and prepared to go back to the dormitory. Ma Xiaohui's mother saw that Tong Ling was leaving and thought that she still had to work tomorrow, so she did not ask her to stay. Therefore, she instructed Ma Xiaohui,"You ride your bicycle and send your sister to her dormitory safely."”Ma Xiaohui respectfully bowed to his mother and smiled as he agreed. He turned around and went to the courtyard to push his bicycle.
Inside the house, Ma Xiaohui's mother sat on the edge of the Kang. She held Tong Ling's hands tightly and instructed her," Mom, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself," Tong Ling said to Ma Xiaohui's mother with a smile.
Ma Xiaohui, who was waiting in the courtyard, was anxious. He shouted into the house,"Are you two not done yet?!"”Hearing Ma Xiaohui's shout, Ma Xiaohui's mother reluctantly let go of Tong Ling's hand.
Under the night sky, Ma Xiaohui and Tong Ling walked side by side. Tong Ling did not say anything. Tong Ling was still immersed in the happiness and sweetness of tonight. She finally had a mother who loved her and cared about her. She finally had a home that could shelter her from the wind and rain. How could she not be excited about this! Ma Xiaohui didn't say anything either. He was even more excited than Tong Ling. A door that had been sealed for a long time had finally opened a crack tonight. To Ma Xiaohui, this crack was really hard to buy. He had long heard people say that it was easy to find something without effort, but tonight, Ma Xiaohui truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
One was excited, while the other was secretly delighted. Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Just like that, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Tong Ling's dormitory. "Sis, I'll be watching you at the entrance, so I won't go in.”Ma Xiaohui finally spoke. " Alright, it's late. Be careful when you ride your bike back," Tong Ling said as she walked towards the dormitory.
Ma Xiaohui did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the dormitory as usual. The lights in Tong Ling's dormitory were switched on. Ma Xiaohui looked at the familiar lights and his heart skipped a beat. He stared at the lights. What was wrong? Why did the lights look like the moon tonight? He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. No, the lights tonight were the sun!
Ma Xiaohui's mother did not sleep well that night. Tong Ling's background made her feel sad. What a poor child. That night, her mind was filled with Tong Ling's unfortunate childhood. She swore that she would make up for all the motherly love and kinship that this person owed Tong Ling.
Tong Ling did not sleep well that night either. The things that Ma Xiaohui's mother told her in the hospital jumped into her mind again. It was really hard for a weak and sickly mother to pull Ma Xiaohui to this day! She swore that she would do her best to make this unfortunate mother happy in her later years.
Ma Xiaohui did not sleep well that night. Even though he did not know about Tong Ling's miserable childhood and unfortunate background, Tong Ling had long been the goddess in his heart. His pursuit of Tong Ling, his admiration, his desire, and his true love had been there for a long time. It was just that he had been troubled by the difficulty of speaking about it. Ma Xiaohui buried this love deep in his heart. In this world, other than himself, only the heavens and the earth knew. No one else knew. Actually, Ma Xiaohui wanted to tell his mother about his love! But he didn't because his mother had always thought highly of Xiao Wei and treated him as her future daughter-in-law. Xiao Wei had really fulfilled her duty as a daughter-in-law. Her meticulous care and filial piety to Ma Xiaohui's mother were praised by everyone in the neighborhood. It was precisely because of this that Ma Xiaohui did not dare to speak. First, he was afraid of angering his frail mother. Second, he felt even more sorry for Xiao Wei. Therefore, Ma Xiaohui suffered in this pain all day long. However, tonight, his mother had accepted Tong Ling as her goddaughter, and he could not help but be ecstatic. He thought to himself, with an unbreakable foundation, there was no need to worry about building a high-rise building!
In a flash, it was Sunday again. Coincidentally, Ma Xiaohui had a public holiday today. He woke up early and made dinner. When he entered the house and saw that his mother was still asleep, he tiptoed back to the kitchen. In order not to wake her mother up. Ma Xiaohui squatted beside the cooking pot and took a bite. Then, he gently pushed open the door and rode away on his bicycle.
Ma Xiaohui rode his bicycle to Tong Ling's dormitory. He knocked on the door with his hand, but there was no sound in the room. He knocked again, but there was still no sound. Just as he pushed with his hand, the door opened. Ma Xiaohui walked into the dormitory and saw that there was no one in the room. He thought to himself, It's Sunday today, but I don't have to go to work. Where did she go so early in the morning? Since he didn't lock the door, he wouldn't have gone far. He simply sat on Tong Ling's bed and waited for her with the door open.
There was an unfinished red sandalwood sweater by Tong Ling's bedside. It was still missing a sleeve. Ma Xiaohui picked up the sweater and looked at it. He couldn't help but think of his dream. He had dreamed of this sweater before. It was exactly the same. Could it be that there was no coincidence? Ma Xiaohui pressed the sweater tightly against his chest and closed his eyes to reminisce about his dream.
" Oh, so it's you. I was wondering if the door to this room was open," Tong Ling said as she stood at the door with a basin in her hand. Ma Xiaohui heard Tong Ling's voice and quickly threw the sweater in his hand onto the bed. Then, he pretended as if nothing had happened and said," Why didn't you lock the door when you went out?"" I went to the bathroom to wash clothes. It was just one piece of clothing, and I didn't know much about it, so I didn't lock the door. Oh right, why didn't you go to work today?"”Tong Ling looked at Ma Xiaohui and said. "Hahaha, the public holiday just happened to be on Sunday.”Ma Xiaohui replied with a smile.
Looking at Ma Xiaohui's expression, Tong Ling knew that there was nothing wrong at home, so she asked Ma Xiaohui," You're here so early. Is there something wrong?”" Hahaha, I don't come here for no reason," Ma Xiaohui made a face at Tong Ling and said with a smile. "Tell me, what is it?" Tong Ling asked. "Oh, it's like this. Isn't our mom celebrating her birthday soon? I wanted to buy her a piece of clothing, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy it well.”Ma Xiaohui said. When Tong Ling heard Ma Xiaohui's words, she opened the wicker bag and said," You don't have to worry about this. I've already bought it.”As he spoke, he took out a floral cloth bag from the wicker bag and placed it on the bed. When he opened it, there was a brand new set of clothes inside. She was wearing black corduroy pants and a purple-red shirt. The buttons on the shirt were very beautiful. It was a row of small bows. Ma Xiaohui looked at it and asked,"When did you buy it?"”"Hehe, I bought it without reporting it.”Tong Ling said with a smile. " Since you've bought the clothes, I'll buy a pair of shoes," Ma Xiaohui said as he looked at Tong Ling. "Alright, this way, our mom will be a brand-new old woman!”Tong Ling said happily. "You have to come with me to buy shoes. I can't buy them well.”Ma Xiaohui mumbled. "Okay, I'll go with you, but it's too early. Most shoe stores aren't open yet.”Tong Ling replied. "Alright then, we'll wait for a while.”After Ma Xiaohui finished speaking, he picked up a book from under Tong Ling's lamp and sat on the bench in front of the desk to read.
Tong Ling sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the unfinished sweater. She started to knit it needle by needle. Ma Xiaohui seemed to be reading a book, but his eyes were fixed on the sweater in Tong Ling's hands. He thought for a while and asked," Sis, this sweater looks nice. Is it for Brother Huang?”Hearing Ma Xiaohui's question, Tong Ling burst out laughing. She said," Your Brother Huang's son knows how to do soy sauce. He wants to wear a sweater, so why do I need to knit it for him?!"”Hearing Tong Ling's words, Ma Xiaohui felt extremely happy. He then asked," Then whose sweater is this?”"It's far away and right in front of us. You already know the answer.”Tong Ling glared at him and said. Hearing Tong Ling's words, Ma Xiaohui stood up from the stool. He stretched out his arms and hugged Tong Ling.”"Let go quickly. Don't make a fuss. Look, you've already fallen off.”Tong Ling dodged Ma Xiaohui while grabbing the sweater in her hand tightly. Ma Xiaohui let go of his hand. Tong Ling looked at the sweater and saw that there were already four or five loose ends. She sat there and adjusted the sweater with a knitting needle. She was still complaining to Ma Xiaohui," How old are you? Why are you still like a child?"”When Ma Xiaohui heard Tong Ling say that about him, he did not retort. He just laughed foolishly at the side.
Not long after, the sweater was finished. Tong Ling carried the sweater and walked out of the dormitory. She shook it off a few times before turning around and returning to the room. She held the sweater in her hand and said to Ma Xiaohui,"Take off your coat and try to see if it fits."”" Alright," Ma Xiaohui agreed as he quickly took off his coat. Tong Ling stood beside Ma Xiaohui and helped him put on the sweater.
Ma Xiaohui was wearing the sweater. It was as if it was tailor-made. The length, the size, the collar, the length of the sleeves, no matter what, it was so suitable.
Ma Xiaohui stroked the sweater on his body and looked at himself in the mirror. Tong Ling, who was watching Ma Xiaohui's actions from the side, could not help but laugh out loud.”"What? I'm just smug.”Not only did Ma Xiaohui say this proudly, he even started to dance the Northeastern Yangge on the ground.
