"I think it's pretty good, good-looking, and good family background, so I decided to do it as I said."
"It depends on her own thoughts."
The voice of her mother and her elder brother came in from the living room. She sat on the narrow edge of the bed, with her arms resting on the table at the bedside, her hands supporting her chin, and her eyes looking out the window. There is an banyan tree in the yard. The flowers are blooming vigorously. When the wind and waves pass, the soft and boneless banyan tree flowers are swaying in the wind.
She was full of thoughts. The man sitting on the dim and shabby edge of the bed couldn't be dissipated in her mind for a long time.
What did the introductory person do after he left? He was still very reserved, holding his hands on his knees, holding his right hand with his left hand, and holding his left hand with his right hand. His eyes did not dare to turn to her, and his eyes were hidden in the gap between his legs like his hands.
She was two years older than him and much more generous than him, but only she herself knew how much courage she had used to talk to him.
She said, "Do you have any hobbies in your daily life?"
His eyebrows were raised and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'm done reading."
She also likes to read books. There is always a monthly novel under the pillow, which was bought by her from the post office in the town. I always look at her secretly, afraid that my mother would scold her when she saw her, and that my brother would laugh at her when she saw her.
He is in line with the appearance of the male protagonist in the novel. Not to mention how handsome he is, but he is also clear-headed. He has thick hair, naturally curly, cut even though it is not short or long, and it looks like it has been permed on his head. He raised his curly hair and finally glanced at her. He just took a look and quickly avoided it. This glance was enough to let her see his dark big-eyed Ren clearly.
The voices of the introductory person and his mother came from the yard, and the mother's hearty laughter reminded the end of the blind date. She was anxious. In this short time, only she devoted herself to her heart, but she didn't understand his thoughts.
Now I think about it, his thoughts at that time were the same as himself.
He stood up from the edge of the bed and walked towards the door. When passing her position, he said in a very small voice: "I have no objection." The voice was so faint that before she could digest the sentence, the person outside the door had already come in.
She saw that his ears were red.

On the night, my sister-in-law came to her room and asked her for her opinion. She said shyly and embarrassedly, lowering her head, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, and two long braids in her neck swayed left and right with her body.
Sister-in-law put her shoulders and smiled, "Are you satisfied or not?"
She still refused to answer. Her sister-in-law grabbed her wrists and said with a smile, "Stop rubbing, your clothes will be rotten."
She said, "What is your opinion?"
"It depends on you. Mother will not force you, but she thinks it is good."
Mother's level has passed, and she asked again, "What about big brother?"
Sister-in-law smiled and looked at her face, which made her lower her head again.
The eldest sister-in-law stopped teasing her and said, "Your brother has a bad personality and is gentle. He has to say it and see, and the two families are too different."
She was silent. She must solicit the opinions of several people in the family, mother and brother. Although she may not be as follows, she still has to listen.
The eldest sister also has many concerns, but she supports her. She said: "Love is a matter between two people. Believe in feelings. Others will not know how you feel." The eldest sister repeatedly emphasized feelings. She was in a free relationship and met on blind dates at first. The mother denied it at first, but she fell into the eyes of the elder sister. The mother was on the left and right but could not defend her daughter. My eldest brother-in-law had a tall and thin body, rode on Daliang's bicycle, and secretly took her elder sister to the alleys in the village.
Big sister is happy.

His bicycle began to appear at the door of her house. Unlike her elder sister, her mother acquiesced and she began to experience the happiness that her elder sister said.
She sat in the back seat, holding the spring under the seat with both hands. When she encountered an uneven ground, the seat would creak and clamp her fingers when it was bumpy. Her sudden pulling move alarmed him, but he never spoke, he could only do it, grabbing the handlebar with one hand and reaching the other behind her, grabbing her hand, letting her hold her waist, and her face blushed into an apple.
Sometimes I meet people from the village, carrying a handful of iron to lift . The wind blows up the messy hair and can't stop their jokes: Huizhi's little son-in-law has come and took Huizhi to the street to buy clothes again.
He would smile at them and say, "Yes, Huizhi's clothes are old, it's time to buy new ones."
Only Huizhi, lowered her head into her chest.
Sometimes he would get angry. He asked her what was wrong. She lowered her head for a long time and couldn't say a word. When he went to do something else, she suddenly said, "Why do you always pay attention to them?"
The two of them exchanged roles. The shy man suddenly grew up, but the generous she suddenly became a little girl.

Then got married next spring.
The weather was not good that day. The strong wind made the branches run around. The wedding team set off firecrackers at the door of the house. The debris of the firecrackers were flying in the air and scraped everywhere. The bicycles with red flowers tied up were lined up one by one outside the door where she had lost the black paint. The young girl who was sending her off the wedding came out of the door with a pair of newlyweds. The banyan tree flowers blew from the wind fell all over them.
She sat in the back seat of his bicycle and saw the young man who was following behind him who was picking up the bride, grinning with a big mouth, looking at her with her eyes that had discovered the secret. Her hand, which originally wanted to grab his clothes, shrank back.
The daytime bustle continued until 8 o'clock in the evening. After sending the last wave of people, she began to clean up the thick quilts on the bed, folded them neatly, and put them into the cabinet with fresh paint beside the bed.
At that time, it was already dark at 8 o'clock. She lit a red candle, dripped a drop of candle oil, pressed it on the windowsill. When she turned around and packed things, she saw him standing in front of the half-closed door, in the hazy candlelight, and seeing the corner of his bent mouth. At that moment, she felt extremely happy.
In order to make the hair shape, the barber shop sprayed a lot of mousse on her hair and had messy hair, and it was difficult to pick a few red flowers. She sat in front of the dressing table, tilted her head, and took a lot of effort to finally remove the flower. By this time her arms were already sore.
When she sat in front of the mirror and was stunned, he walked over and picked up the comb and helped her comb the formed messy hair smoothly. Occasionally, she pulled one or two hairs and her head tilted in the direction of his hand. Looking from the mirror, she looked with a painful expression on her face.
He smiled and said, "This hairstyle is not good-looking."
She said she knew, lowered her head and fiddled with Dahong's wedding dress.
His eager eyes followed her eyes from the mirror. Her eyes were shy, quietly avoiding him. If you don’t pay attention, the shy eyes would collide with him again. When they bumped into each other, she would gently avoid it, leaving a face with red clouds for him.
He said, "It's still so good."
He split her hair into two, placed it on her chest, took the strap and tied the two bundles of hair up, and followed her long hair, and hugged her.
5
In the spring of this year, she cut a branch from the banyan tree in her mother's house, dug a hole in the yard of her new home, and planted a small banyan seedling like she did back then.
The saplings sprouted and took root. By autumn, the buds that sprouted withered. It was at that time that he went to work in a factory in the provincial capital.
That night, her eyes cried like walnuts. In the shadowy candlelight, she strung threads to sew cotton coats for him in winter. The needle was pierced on the fingertips again and again, and blood beads stained on the navy blue fabric and quickly penetrated into the cotton. Her tears kept falling. After finishing her cotton coat, she was wet on her sleeves, with tears and blood on her fingers.
He woke up at dawn and saw a whole pack of cotton coat wrapped in a sandwich on the head of the bed. The soft inner flesh, brand new fabric, and well-proportioned stitches, each detail has her good intentions. And what about her? After busy all night, I lay on the edge of the bed and fell asleep in the most uncomfortable position.
With this, he will also treat her well for the rest of his life.
After washing up, she entered the bedroom. She was awake and used her tireless hands to organize his luggage. While busy, he told him, "It's cold in the workshop, you have to wear more clothes. If the food in the cafeteria is not good, go to a small restaurant outside for a good meal. If the money is not enough, write me. Do you have a phone call from the village party secretary's house?"
He hugged her from behind, making her hugged her happy and sad. His face was pressed against her spine, and his bulge of vertebrae armed his face. He broke her body and kissed her rudely.
6
1 November, she used a newspaper to enclose the thin saplings and tied them with a wool rope. The slack man on the street was blowing loudly and blew into the yard along the wind. She got up and closed the gate of the yard. Not long after, I heard the sound of knocking on the door, and the child's tender voice came in, "Auntie, I have a letter from your family."
She rushed to the front door without caring about washing her hands. The child said to the postman who delivered the letter, "Oh, this is Aunt Baiming."
The postman was wearing dark green work clothes and smiled and handed a letter into her hand.
letter was sent by him, with her name written in sloppy handwriting, and his name was written in the lower left corner of the envelope. She happily held the letter in her arms, reluctant to open it. After carefully looking at each Chinese character on the envelope, she took a cutter and cut it neatly from one side of the envelope.
He said he was used to staying there and was not tired from work. He played badminton with his colleagues in his class every day after work. When he played for the first time, his arm hurt all night. He said that the cotton coat she made came in handy because the workshop was air-ventilated everywhere, and the cotton coats were used to protect him from the wind and cold. He said that his coworker wanted to borrow from him, but he disagreed. He slept with the bag of cotton coat at night, for fear that someone would take it while he was asleep.
She held the letter and laughed, imagining that he was holding a bag at night, and she started crying again as she thought about it. She hadn't seen him for two months.
7
During the Chinese New Year, she finally plucked up the courage to find him and took a long-distance bus for 8 hours. He took leave to the station to pick her up. She saw him on the platform on the foggy glass window. He lost weight, his navy blue pants were empty on his body. When the empty trouser legs were seen, they quickly came to her.
No matter how thin she is, she can easily pick her up.
Huizhi pushed him hard and told him the gaze around him with her eyes, but he didn't care, he was too happy.
He lied to her, and his work was far less easy. His hands were covered with thick calluses, and he touched her body and tied her skin. She held his face and said, "You've lost weight."
He said, "It doesn't delay my weight. I'm energetic."
Her expression was completely unbelievable. He did not refute it, and told her how strong he was with practical actions.
He has moved out of his original dormitory and rented a small room of more than ten square meters in a village near the factory. There was a row of iron pots in the public area outside the room. He pointed to a clean iron pot at the bottom and said, "This is ours. I will use this to cook for dinner at night."
In the evening, three workers came, one taller and stronger than the other. She stood in front of him and was hugged by him.He pointed to the three workers and said, "Big Zhuang, two Zhuang, three Zhuang."
She burst out laughing and covered her mouth with her hands. He smiled and said, "It's very vivid, right?" He said to the three heroes, "This is my wife."
She found that he had changed a lot, became extroverted, and more talkative. She was cooking for them outside, listening to the four of them bragging in the room, the pot was steaming, and the cold wind in the window came in through the cracks of the window, slapped her face. She stood in front of the stove, feeling a rare sense of peace of mind because of this real and ordinary touch.
Shen Li appeared in front of her at this time.
She was wearing a pair of round-headed high heels, and her thick heel hit the ground hard, making a powerful sound. Later, Huizhi always thought that perhaps it was from the time these high heels appeared that she felt a little uneasy.
When you go to his room, you must first pass through this public area, and only by going to his will you need to pass here.
The young girl took off the sunglasses from her face and looked at Huizhi in front of the stove with her flamboyant face. She wore a white shirt, the hem was tied into an exaggerated belt, a pair of popular bell-bottom pants, and the tight fabric fully displayed the lines of her arms, and the metal chain shoulder bag was thrown behind her. With his curly hair tilted his head, he asked playfully, "You are Bai Ming's wife, right?" She looked at Huizhi, "My name is Shen Li, and he is Bai Ming's colleague."
He came out at the right time, or maybe it came out when he heard the sound. He said, "Why are you here?" His voice was very unhappy and looked at her with a tired expression.
Shen Li looked careless and patted him on the head. As she moved, Huizhi's heart skipped a beat. Even though he avoided and looked at her with disgust, Huizhi still couldn't erase the little uneasiness that suddenly popped up in her heart.
Shen Li said, "I heard that your wife is here, so let's take a look."
He ignored her, hugged Huizhi, and walked into the room. Shen Li didn't care about his ignorance at all. They walked in front and she followed behind.
Shen Li squeezed between four men and held a glass of wine to fight with them. She was a very generous woman. She didn't cheat if she lost. She raised her neck and fought to the end, and raised her glass to provoke them.
Four men were poured down by her and lay down on the table. Bai Ming raised his cup and said, "Shen Li, you are a man, you are not as good as a woman..."
Huizhi wanted to wake him up, but he pushed him aside. She stood there in a daze.
Shen Li said, "You met on blind date, right?"
Huizhi nodded. She cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks on the table and took them to the water pipe to brush. Shen Li followed her out, and she stood behind her, putting her hands into her pockets. She said in her carefree tone again: "Is it like an ancient arranged marriage?"
Huizhi turned around and looked at her with an angry look, but the other party did not take her into consideration at all. She is no match for her at all. In terms of momentum and her own conditions, she cannot compare with her. Shen Li also knew this. She smiled so much that she didn't care. She still threw her bag behind her and walked out on her high heels. The sound of the clattering high heels hitting the ground gradually drifting away.
Huizhi did not tell Bai Ming her thoughts. She felt that she should trust him and should be able to trust him.
After the Chinese New Year, she is preparing to go back to her hometown. On the day he left, he took half a day off and took her to a department store in the city to buy things. There were not many people in the market, but he held her hand all the way. He said that she was not divided into east, west, south and north here, and if she got lost, she would not be able to find him.
When he left the mall, he suddenly stopped and pointed to a glittering diamond ring at the counter and asked the teller to take it out. The teller handed him the ring, "Sir, you have a good vision."
Huizhi saw the price above, and she was timid and dared not try it, as if she had to buy it after trying.At that time, Bai Ming was actually timid. If Huizhi didn't try, he returned the goods and asked the clerk to roll his eyes.
Bai Ming swears that he must make a lot of money in his life and buy her something bigger than that diamond ring. Later, he did make a lot of money and did buy bigger ones, but he gave away someone else.

Huizhi returned to her hometown, and the neighbors came to "receive her" her, stood in the yard, leaning against the wall with her arms in hand, and asking her about her experiences in the provincial capital under the eaves. The women went home in the evening. The yard that had been in chaos for half an afternoon was quiet. Huizhi sat under the dark sky in the evening, feeling indescribable loss. The empty courtyard and the dark room, only the strong wind in early spring made the branches fight in the air, making chirping sounds.
The small banyan tree sapling sprouted again. Huizhi opened the wrapped newspaper and couldn't hide the joy in her heart when she saw these young buds. She threw down the newspaper, found paper and pen from the drawer of the dressing table, and began to write letters to him who was far away in the provincial capital. She said that the little banyan tree in the yard had come alive, and said that when he received the letter, he might have started to show tiny tender leaves.
When she sent this short and boring letter, she fainted in the post office.
When I woke up, my elder sister was beside her. The elder sister said, "You fool, do you know that you are pregnant, you run around and don't eat?"
Huizhi was very happy. The eldest sister asked if she wanted to tell Bai Ming the news. Huizhi shook her head and said she wanted to give him a surprise. The eldest sister said it was not just a shock. Huizhi was so angry that she reached out to hit her, but was stopped by her sister's second daughter. The little child fucked her childish voice and said, "Auntie, don't bully my mother, mom has a little brother in her belly." Her little adult appearance made Huizhi laugh. She wondered if the little guy in her belly would be as eloquent as this little niece in the future?
When I was three months pregnant, the banyan sapling was already covered with branches and leaves, and Huizhi's belly slowly appeared. She made a bold decision: she was going to give him a big surprise.
She had been in the car for eight hours that day, and her waist was about to break. When she dragged her body to the small house where he rented, she was told that he had moved out. She arrived at his factory and the result was that he had quit his job here for a month.
"Where did you go?"
"Who knows, I heard that I did it and it's a great success."
Huizhi sat at the door of the factory. She thought she was still too willful. She should always tell him such a big thing, but he was also willful. He had never said a word in the letter for such a big thing.
Dazhuang found her and recognized her. He took her to the place where Bai Ming lives. He had not come back yet, and the door was locked.
Dazhuang said, "He lives here now, but I don't have the key to his house."
Huizhi waited until after ten o'clock, and saw Bai Ming, who was drunk, coming back. He was carried back, and his whole body collapsed on the man. The man took out the key from his bag and opened the door. Only then did he see Huizhi who was guarding the door.
"Is it you?" Shen Li threw Bai Ming on the bed, "Why are you here?" She stood in front of the bed and looked at Huizhi at the door. Huizhi looked at this strange house. The bed was a double bed, with two pillows, cosmetics were placed on the bedside table, and the clothes in the dirty clothes were placed in the clothes of men and women. There were several pairs of shoes on the shoe rack at the door, including men and women.
The newlywed husband went to the city to work. I went to his residence when I was pregnant for 3 months and found that the pair of women's shoes were placed at the door
Everything in the room was telling her that this was a room where a man and a woman lived together.
Shen Li said: "You definitely have no place to live, right?" She put her bag back on her body and was ready to start at any time. "You stay here tonight, I'll go out to live."
If Huizhi is brave enough, she should pick up her slap at the woman who snatched her man, or wake up the man who betrayed her on the bed. But she is a person without courage. She watched Shen Li leave, and she waited for her husband to wake up.
Bai Ming said she wanted to drink water with thirst. Huizhi poured a cup of white water, held him up and put it on her lips. She saw his shirt wrinkled, and the buttons on her chest were several, revealing her red skin. She suddenly felt disgusted and threw the cup containing hot water. On the ground, she turned around and left the dirty room.
Tears dried and flowed, flowed and wiped. She walked on the strange street, the dark yellow lights pulled her shadow so long. The June breeze made her long rise and fall. The deserted street exuded a desolate look. Her heart seemed to be hollowed out, without falling.
Huizhi appeared in front of Bai Ming the next evening, when Bai Ming had been looking for her for a day. She looked very haggard, and she said, "My bag is here, I have no money to go home. "She hiked to the station and returned on foot. Her shoes were all covered in soil.
Her bag was held in his hand. Her eyes did not stop on his face, but stared at the bag in his hand.
He said, "Where have you gone? "
Huizhi didn't speak, he said, "Have you had a meal this day? "
Huizhi still didn't say anything, and he said, "I'll cook for you." ”
He made a plate of stir-fried cakes. The shredded cakes were cut into thick and thick, thin, mixed with oily kohlrabi, and placed them in front of Huizhi. He said, “You eat first, I’ll go and stir-fry eggs for you. "
The dull sound came into his ears through the wall. He ran into the house and saw Huizhi lying on the ground, and the blood on her trousers, flowing all the way to her shoes and socks. The white socks were soaked in blood.
Huizhi had a miscarriage, but Bai Ming was crying. It was a formed little girl. Huizhi thought that this eloquent little girl left her like this, leaving inexplicably.
9
Huizhi did not go back to her hometown. Bai Ming was developed alone. He spent money to buy a house. They were rooted in the provincial capital. But Huizhi and Bai Ming separated. At the beginning, it was like this. On one side of the bed, she never turned her face before going to bed. Like the border between Chu and Han, no one violated each other.
Bai Ming initially thought she was just angry, and it would be fine if she was angry, and he played with her. As time went on, he found that she had no intention of giving up. He couldn't help but touch her, and she kicked her to the ground. This made him anxious, so soft that he could use the hard one. Huizhi was also anxious. She pushed him away and called him dirty.
Bai Ming was stunned, and he said, "Okay, let's separate." "
Huizhi moved into the guest room.
Half a year later, Huizhi took the eldest sister's third daughter home. Bai Ming drank that day and returned home drunk. She saw the little girl sitting in the stroller. She glared at him with big eyes, and suddenly cried out, causing Huizhi to cry in the kitchen.
Bai Ming said: "Whose child is from? Why are you here? "
Huizhi picked up the child and walked into the bedroom. Bai Ming pulled him back and said, "Didn't you hear me talking to you?" "
Huizhi said: "Her name is Mili, and she will call me mother from now on. "
Bai Ming smiled and laughed wildly, "Why didn't the fuck know that I had an extra daughter out? "
Huizhi looked at him, and he had become unrecognizable to her. She said, "She can't call you dad." "
Bai Ming was quiet. He stared at her and found that she had never smiled at him since that incident. She always had a stern face and never discussed with him when doing things. He said, "Are you planning to stop having children with me anymore?" ”
Huizhi answered him with silence. He smiled and said, “Yes, divorce.”"
But they did not divorce. Logically speaking, marriage has reached this point, and divorce is good for everyone, but Huizhi doesn't mention it, and he doesn't mention it. The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten what he said.
Bai Ming started to stay at night. At night, Huizhi got up to make milk for the child. When he passed by his bedroom, it was always empty. The dark room suddenly made Huizhi cry, reminding her of the scene of living alone in that courtyard.
Bai Ming's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the house is getting bigger and bigger. He moved from the city to the suburbs, and moved from the high-rise building into a down-to-earth building with a yard.
Huizhi returned to her mother's house in spring, and when she came back, she brought back a banyan tree seedling.
Big sister said why are you so stubborn? You will always like banyan trees for so many years. Huizhi said that the flowers blooming in the banyan tree are what she likes. The eldest sister said yes, if you like it, you will like it. Life.
She remembered what happened to plant the banyan tree. At first, my mother disagreed with the planting. At that time, there was a saying in the village that it was unlucky to plant banyan trees at home. She refused to listen. Her mother threw the saplings out. She quietly picked them up at night and used a shovel that was taller than herself to dig a pit on the land next to the toilet. The saplings were planted in, and they grew for twenty years.
10
html l3 Bai Ming is no longer Huizhi's Bai Ming. I heard that he had a son with Shen Li, and I heard that Shen Li is pregnant again.
Pregnant Shen Li came to ward off the uterus.
She is younger than Huizhi, and she looks much younger when she is plump. Unlike Huizhi, she is thin, although white, she always seems to be malnourished.
She said, "You have been separated for so many years, and it's time to divorce. It's already seven years. "
After she calculated, Huizhi felt it was incredible. They had been married for ten years, and they had been separated for seven years alone. Huizhi saw Shen Li wearing a diamond ring the size of a broad bean on her finger, which must have been worn before she left the house. Bai Ming bought something for her and wanted to show it in front of her.
Huizhi said: "Why don't he come by himself? "
They divorced their marriage and came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Huizhi found that the weather on this day was as bad as when she got married back then. It was as gloomy as it was raining at any time. Perhaps that time had already predicted the ending of today.
Bai Ming said: "Go and have a meal, it's the last meal. ”
Huizhi said: “No, Mili is waiting for me at home. "
Bai Ming grabbed her and frowned, "You have lost weight. "
Huizhi didn't speak. No matter which of their conversation always reminded her of the past. When she was good before, she said this to him.
Bai Ming was anxious again. He couldn't stand her silence. He let go of her and said fiercely: "Get out, get out, it will never matter any more in the future. "He got into the car and the car was moving away. From the rearview mirror, he saw her standing there, standing still, standing still without knowing what he was thinking.
End
Many years later, Bai Ming returned to his hometown to worship the grave and met Huizhi's elder sister. He asked her about Huizhi's situation.
The elder sister was silent for a long time and said, "Huizhi has passed away for many years. "
Bai Ming's mind suddenly went blank, and the eldest sister said, "When she returned to the city with the banyan tree seedlings from home, she was hit by a truck. "
Bai Ming could no longer hear what she was saying, but only saw her mouth open and close. He thought he must gather his energy and find out the address where she was buried.
He heard his elder sister say, "There is something I must tell you. It was not that Huizhi didn't want to have a baby with you back then, but because of that incident, she no longer had the ability to have children. "
Bai Ming didn't know how to go back.
Later, he went to the villa of that year and smelled the scent of banyan trees at a distance. She had already formed a habit of planting it wherever she went. He remembered that when she got married to her, she had a lot of banyan trees falling on her hair with red flowers. At that time, she wanted to choose something for her, but she didn't let her go.
She is a stubborn person. If you like it, you will like it for the rest of your life. So what about him? Did he not forget him until he divorced and died? (original title: " Love under the Banyan Tree ")
