Chapter 363 Different Feelings
The autumn sunshine is both pleasing and teasing.
It is the harvest season after a year of hard work.
Zhao Sheng picked a small basket of pears from the orchard behind Duck Lake, and also picked a dozen persimmons.
As soon as he pushed the door open and entered the yard with the basket, Ma Dongmei, who was washing clothes, hurried over to greet him, "Second brother, you are finally back. Can I ask you something?"
"you say."
Zhao Sheng put the basket by the door and picked out a pear that looked good. He glanced at Ma Dongmei who looked anxious and quickly guessed what had happened.
"When Zhao Li asked you for money some time ago, did he tell you why? I was worried that he might get into trouble in the city and hide it from his family."
Hearing the voices, Lin Yiyi opened her eyes and looked towards the two people. She couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away, so she moved the chair a few steps towards the gate.
“The factory was quite busy some time ago, leaving early and returning late every day, and the third brother called me several times before I answered.
A few words on the phone were not clear.
He was in a hurry to use the money and only mentioned briefly that he had something to do, but didn't say anything specific. The money was mailed to me."
Zhao Sheng finished speaking in a calm tone, his eyes passed Ma Dongmei at the person who had moved not far away. His cold expression became a little warmer, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Ma Dongmei was even more worried when she didn't hear any news. She said anxiously, "Second brother, can you tell him a few words for me? And bring him some money. I'm afraid he won't be able to get money. He has nowhere to ask for help when he's alone in the city."
Although my eldest brother Zhao Xing and his family are in the provincial capital, there is no chance of borrowing money from him for help.
Zhao Sheng is a man and naturally understands men. Although he witnessed what happened in the city, it was not easy for him to interfere in the affairs of the third brother's house. After thinking about it, he said some meaningless words.
“If you’re in a hurry, I’ll give you his school’s phone number and you can call it at noon.
I have been running around the mining area recently, so I am slow in bringing messages and money. It will probably take me half a month to get to the provincial capital for transportation."
Ma Dongmei would probably be so anxious if she had to wait another half a month. If she hadn't been busy with the autumn harvest, she would have gone to the provincial capital long ago.
"Okay, then please leave me your phone number."
Ma Dongmei decisively asked for the phone number and decided to go to town to make the call after lunch.
Lin Yiyi listened carefully from the side. He would not interfere with the man's implicit meaning, nor would he say more.
Matters between husband and wife should be resolved by the husband and wife themselves.
Rationally speaking, it is right for men to do this.
But from the perspective of a woman, Lin Yiyi felt more sympathetic towards her sister-in-law and wanted to tell her immediately that she saw Zhao Li walking and laughing with a female classmate at school.
Some things may not seem to be a problem or unusual on the surface, but if you look closely you will find that something is taking root.
Before the young sprouts full of obscurity and selfish desires grow out of the ground and mature and bear fruit, no one can go to other people's land to pull them out for the farmer.
The only one who can pull it out is the owner of the land.
Land is the life of farmers and their home.
If they lose their land, farmers can only change their careers or move to the city to find another way to make a living.
Or you can start over and find another piece of land to continue being a farmer.
However, the land always loves green plants and nourishes them unconditionally, so farmers can only keep weeding and spraying pesticides.
Ma Dongmei was only a few years older than her, and she had dedicated the best years of her twenties to this vast expanse of farmland.
Without the company of her husband, she worked on the farm in the countryside with her two sons to earn a living.
She is hardworking, simple, willing to work hard, positive and optimistic. She deserves all the praises for working people.
But……
Lin Yiyi looked down at the new leather shoes on her feet, then raised her eyes to look at the man who was walking towards her after peeling the pears.
She doesn't need the compliments from others.
She just needs to stay true to her original intention and hold on to what she has always insisted on.
After Zhao Sheng put the dagger back on his waist, he gave the pear to Xiaomao, half-knelt in front of her, and smiled, "Why are you grinning?"
"you guess."
Lin Yiyi took a bite of the pear, the juice exploded in her mouth, the sweet taste went down her throat to her stomach and slowly seeped into her heart.
She licked the pear juice on her lips, looked at the man's eyes deliberately teasingly, and said in a soft tone, "Do you want to eat pears?"
Zhao Sheng's mouth was dry and there were only two words in his mind: he wanted it.
Lin Yiyi glanced at her sister-in-law who was washing clothes with her back to them, and without waiting for the man to reply, she leaned in and kissed his thin lips.
As long as Zhao Sheng doesn't refuse immediately, it means he wants it.
The longer the silence lasts, the more you want it.
Pry open his teeth and share the light sweetness of pear juice.
The man was forced to accept her sudden enthusiasm and swallowed unconsciously, but was left behind by her before he could taste it enough.
Lin Yi leaned back in the chair, placed her left hand on his chin, moved it back and forth, and smiled coquettishly, "Is it sweet?"
Zhao Sheng pursed his lips, his deep eyes darkened. He was afraid of her being so bold but also loved her being so bold. He only said in a light tone, "It's not tasty. I'll eat it tonight."
They are inseparable here, but alone there.
One courtyard, two views.
Ma Dongmei was scrubbing the clothes accumulated in the basin when she heard her second sister-in-law's cheerful laughter behind her. She didn't need to look back to know how attractive her pretty face was when she smiled.
She lives a really happy life.
She doesn't have to do anything, and her man just holds her in his heart and caresses her.
Ma Dongmei looked at the two people's backs as they walked out of the courtyard gate, recalling the scene of her receiving the candy from Lin Yiyi just now.
Her hands are rough and dry, and her hands are white and tender like tofu.
The dirty water in the wooden basin reflected her thin figure. Ma Dongmei didn't dare to think about it anymore and her hands moved quickly again.
After lunch, Ma Dongmei went back to the house, took out twenty yuan and hurried to the town. She waited in line for a while at the post office and dialed the number on the note.
After telling the person who answered the phone who she was talking to, Ma Dongmei hung up the phone temporarily. She waited another half an hour before getting a call back.
Zhao Li ran back and forth on the phone, breathing a little breathlessly: "Dongmei, is there something wrong at home? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
He never left his school phone number with his family and always sent letters. Only Zhao Sheng answered his calls. What did Zhao Sheng say to his wife?
"Everything is fine at home, but what happened to you? You didn't explain why in the letter.
Did you receive the letter I sent you? I asked my second brother for your contact information because I couldn't get your reply. "
Ma Dongmei was very concerned about her husband and took the initiative to ask, "Do you need any more money? If you need money, just tell me and I'll mail it to you in a while."
"Not for the time being. A classmate of mine came to me for help because her family had problems. We are classmates so I lent her the money."
Zhao Li calmly told part of the story truthfully, and left the rest vague.
"I'm glad you're okay. I'm relieved. If you encounter any problems out there, just write home.
Don't keep it to yourself. I have to go to work this afternoon and it's a lot of work, so I won't talk to you any more."
After making sure that her husband was fine, Ma Dongmei felt relieved. But when she thought about the dozens of dollars Zhao Li had lent to his classmates, Ma Dongmei began to feel uneasy again.
Zhao Li is too generous to lend out so much money as he pleases. What if others don’t pay it back?
Zhao Li hung up the phone, paid the money and went back to the dormitory. The usual gloomy expression on his face had some scratches on it.
