Chapter 41 Is This Love?
Zhou Hui and Wu Ruirui looked at each other. They understood what was said, but they didn't quite comprehend it. It didn't matter. Sister Meng must have her own plans. As long as they were happy, others didn't need to worry about it.
All right, go and set the table, we'll be ready to eat soon. Ruirui, stay and help me light the fire, and you two go borrow two stools, it'll be ready soon. Finally, Li Meng arranged the work for everyone to do.
Zhou Hui, I won't take some things with me. You can keep the ones you think are useful. When I'm not around, you have to take good care of Meng Meng. Please, Pei Yu said after a long pause.
Brother Yu, I would do the same without you telling me. Although we haven't been together for a long time, there are some things you don't need to say, I understand them all. I also wish you a good future, and take me to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Zhou Hui is still smiling as usual.
Yes, of course. Pei Yu lowered his eyes and answered in a deep voice,
Come on, come on, sit down, it's time to eat, Li Meng asked everyone to take their seats,
This is braised rabbit meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, shredded potatoes, egg and vegetable soup, Chinese cabbage and tofu, and canned meat. Come and try them while they are hot.
Unexpectedly, Comrade Li is not very old, but his cooking skills are really amazing. Just looking at him makes me want to eat it, Song Qing praised.
Here, there is also this. Today's meal is a farewell to Pei Yu. Everyone is in a good mood. This wine is what I brought before. Let's pour it today. Li Meng took out the cup and asked Pei Yu to pour it for the old man and uncle.
Come on, everyone, raise your glasses together. Don't just stand there. This first glass of wine is for the guests who came from afar. Li Meng raised the small wine glass in his hand and called on everyone to toast the old man together.
Sit down, sit down. Looking at the young men who stood up with their glasses, the old man drank it all in one gulp and looked at the energetic young men in front of him lovingly.
Everyone was chatting and laughing while eating this lunch which was supposed to be a bit sad. Led by Li Meng, they all ate happily.
Under the table where no one could see, Pei Yu tightly held Li Meng's hand, and looked tenderly at the smiling girl who was trying to adjust the atmosphere. He had an impulse not to leave, and wanted to stay with her. As long as he could see her every day, nothing else mattered.
Feeling her hand being held tighter and tighter, Li Meng knew that Pei Yu was reluctant to let her go. She smiled and pulled her hand out, holding Pei Yu's big hand instead, leaning close to his ear and whispering: In my heart, you are irreplaceable, I will wait for you,
The two looked at each other warmly, and everything was said without words.
All good things must come to an end. Those who leave must leave eventually. The educated youths all came out to see Pei Yu off. Pei Yu had a look of hesitation about the future.
Here, this is for you, it will be helpful to you, be careful on the road, take care of yourself, and write to me when you have time, Li Meng took out a bundle and handed it to Pei Yu, saying,
You too, take care of yourself and remember to eat. I will write to you when I am settled. Pei Yu took the bag and felt it was heavy. This was all the love his girlfriend had for him.
Okay, okay, as if sensing Pei Yu's loss, he stood on tiptoe and touched Pei Yu's head. Go ahead, get in the car quickly, and remember to keep in touch.
Pei Yu hugged Li Meng, turned around and got into the car, waved and said goodbye to everyone.
Li Meng was also stunned for a moment. She heard Pei Yu say in her ear, "I love you."
This man who doesn't like to express himself, who usually blushes when she teases him, now knows how to express his love. Not bad, he has made progress.
Li Meng waved goodbye with everyone else, watching the jeep drive farther and farther away until it gradually disappeared from view. Li Meng straightened the corner of her clothes that had just been wrinkled by Pei Yu's hug, and turned back to the house.
Sister Meng should be fine, go in and take a look, don't say anything wrong, Zhou Hui told Wu Ruirui,
OK, I understand. I'll go in and take a look. I'll leave the kitchen to you. Wu Ruirui followed him into the house.
In the car, Pei Yu watched Li Meng's figure standing in the crowd getting smaller and smaller until he could no longer see her. Then he turned around and sat down.
Song Qing knew that his nephew was upset at this time, so it was best not to say anything. It was Mayor Yao who broke the silence. Mayor Yao had lunch at the captain's house. He invited him, but he didn't come. He knew that if he came, others would be restrained.
Xiao Pei, what are your plans for the future? When you go back this time, your grandfather wants to hear your opinion before making any arrangements for you. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?
Yes, Xiaoyu, tell me what you think. Mr. Song also asked,
Grandpa, I want to join the army and be a soldier. Pei Yu pinched the military coat that Li Meng gave him. Pei Yu had originally planned to do so, but unfortunately he was stopped at his aunt's house, which delayed his decision. Now he wants to firmly choose what he wants to do.
Good, young people are brave enough to think and act, and they are good seedlings. Teacher, I think your grandson is very suitable to be a soldier. If he works hard, he will have a promising future. Mayor Yao expressed his optimism about Pei Yu.
Okay, I'll sign you up after we get back to the capital. You can definitely go this year, after the Chinese New Year at the latest, Grandpa Song said with a loving smile as he looked at his grandson.
This kid has not made any requests for many years, so this one request must be met. It is also a good opportunity for him to gain some experience in the army.
The jeep continued to drive on the country road, with shadows of trees flying by on both sides. I began to miss them before they were far away.
Mengmeng, take a break. The floor is so shiny from your sweeping. When Wu Ruirui came in, he saw Li Meng cleaning.
It will be ready soon. You will feel more comfortable living here after it is cleaned up. How did you come in? Aren’t you supposed to wash the dishes? Why didn't you go?
Zhou Hui wanted to do it, so I didn't fight with him. Hehe, Wu Ruirui replied with a grin.
Tsk, just say you are being lazy. I know what you are thinking. You are afraid that I will be upset, so you keep an eye on me all the time. I accept your kindness. Don't worry, I am really fine.
Li Meng said helplessly that she was really fine. Dating was not the only thing in life. There were many other things waiting for her to do, such as making money.
She still had to trade with Honglian's gang at night, so she didn't have time to be pretentious. Besides, it wasn't like they didn't keep in touch. Who would she be sad for? She wasn't that pretentious.
Oh oh oh, I knew that Mengmeng, you are different from ordinary people, not an ordinary person, hahaha. I was really relieved now. I went to tell Zhou Hui. After that, Wu Ruirui ran out. Li Meng shook her head with a helpless smile.
After I got ready, I lay down and took a nap. I had to go to work in the afternoon. I was thinking about what excuse I could come up with to go out in the evening. It was really a headache.
Xiaoyu, you stay in this room. You will catch a train tomorrow morning. See if you need anything this afternoon. Your uncle will go with you to buy it. Song Qing took Pei Yu into the room that was previously booked at the guesthouse.
No, uncle, I don't have anything to buy. You go and have a rest. I'll tell you if I need anything. Pei Yu sat on the bed and looked at the small bag that Li Meng had given him before, in a daze.
Song Qing closed the door gently and went out silently, leaving the space to him.
