Chapter Eleven: Everyday is Valentine's Day

The next day, Wang Licheng was woken up by the alarm clock at 6:30. The alarm clocks of this era are still wound. Last time he went to the Jiangcheng wholesale market to buy 10 and sold 5. He took one for his own use.

He got up and cleaned up for ten minutes, and went out with two boxes of juice drinks.

There are five minutes to seven o'clock until the junction we made an appointment with yesterday.

He parked his car and bought breakfast on the side of the road.

Wang Licheng was tall, handsome, and stood out in the crowd. Xiao Hongyan saw him as soon as he came out.

"Brother Licheng, I've eaten at home."

She was wearing a white cotton dress today, with a pair of black low-heeled leather shoes with a strap on her feet, a ponytail on her head, and stood there leaning on her bicycle, slim and smart.

He has to say that Xiao Hongyan is the most beautiful woman in this era who wears a white dress, atleast he thinks so.

"This is for you to quench your thirst, and I'll buy two buns." If she had known, she would not have eaten at home.

“There's still time. I'll sit here and eat with you."

"Okay, do you want to drink bean curd?" He really wanted to drink bean curd. Except for going to Jiangcheng, he ate his breakfast at home, and he never had breakfast outside. He wanted to try.

“Well, I'm going to buy bean curd brain, you can eat it first."

For a while, they kept picking up and dropping off from work. Until the school's summer vacation, there was no further progress, not even a date.

Wang Li became a solution to the problem of not having time to date, and raised the wages of Mazi and Chen Gouyu to 60 yuan per month.

The difference is that he changed the rest time of the two to once a week. They take turns resting on Saturdays and Sundays.

The first Saturday of summer vacation was their first date.

The two meet at the gate of the park.

In the past, Wang Licheng and Li Lanfang were dating in the park, and he didn't know where else to go?

The two chatted while sitting on the chairs in the gazebo.

"Brother Licheng, you promised me so quickly that day, do you have the same thoughts as me?"

She wanted to ask this for a long time. Every time they met before,itI was on the road, and they couldn't sit down and talk for a while. He is always busy.

After the summer vacation, in order to meet him, she would wait for him to come after get off work at the intersection near her home. The two said a few words, then watched him leave.

Yesterday when Li Cheng told her that she was on a date in the park today, she was very happy. They've been in a relationship for a month and haven't dated once.

She even wondered if Brother Li Cheng's easy promise was just a perfunctory one. When she saw Brother Licheng who was ready to wait for her the next day, she quickly abandoned the idea.

Wang Licheng knew that he couldn't tell the truth at this time, and he was not very good at telling him to lie to her.

“If I say no, will you be angry?"

Xiao Hongyan pouted and said, "Why is that?"

Wang Licheng looked at her cute appearance, raised his index finger and scratched her nose, then said in a doting tone, "You! It's not because you look good, but you were dazzled by the beauty for a while. When I came back to my senses, I found that I had agreed."

Xiao Hongyan curled her lips, feeling a little depressed, "Really?"

"Haha, of course not, you believe it." Wang Licheng smiled happily, it was the first time he had seen Xiao Hongyan with such a rich expression and such a playful expression.

"You lied to me and I’ll ignore you."

She pushed Wang Licheng, Wang Licheng took her hand and hugged her shoulder, and brought her into his arms.

"Don't do this, someone is watching."

“Okay, I'll let go, don't move."

Wang Licheng felt the beauty of falling in love for the first time.

At noon he took Xiao Hongyan to the Pucheng Hotel for dinner. He ordered three dishes and one soup, which cost a total of 20 yuan.

"Brother Licheng next time we can go home to eat, and come out after eating."

Her monthly salary is only 80 yuan, and Brother Licheng's should not be much higher than her.

“Well, I'll listen to you." After speaking, she winked at Xiao Hongyan.

She lowered her head quickly, and her reddish earlobes revealed that she was not at peace at this time.

"Wasn't I very busy before? There is a non-staple food shop at home. I have to check the shop in the shop during the holidays."

“Then, don't you have time to rest?" Why did you have time to come out today?

Wang Licheng continued to tease her, "You can rest when the store is closed."

"You, you know I didn't mean that." Why didn't she find Brother Licheng so annoying before.

"What does that mean, how do I know if you don't explain clearly."

"You did it on purpose."

"Okay! I won't tease you. I hired someone in the store, and I asked them to work overtime on behalf of the public. You're on a date. You said I'm okay." Only one day off a week is considered overtime, so it's not a lie to her.

"Will it delay your business, or you will go back first after eating." I really wanted to slap myself, so why did I say this.

“Okay, then let's finish our meal soon and go back." Xiao Hongyan was sullen, while Wang Licheng enjoyed it.

After coming out of the restaurant, Xiao Hongyan went back to the left, and Wang Licheng went to the right to go to the store.

"Why don't you stop and go."

"You go first! I watch you go."

"Why do you really want me to go back?"

Wang Licheng grabbed her hand and pulled her to the right.

"Let's go! I'll take you somewhere." Wang Licheng pulled it again, but he couldn't pull it, and when he looked back, he saw the tears from the corners of Xiao Hongyan's eyes fell on the ground.

"You lied to me again, why did you lie to me." She actually took it seriously again, would he think she was too stupid.

"Okay, okay! I won't lie to you again, okay, don't cry, let's go to the movies, okay?"

Wang Licheng took out a slightly sweaty handkerchief in his pocket and gently wiped her tear.

It's still the real girl of this era, she doesn't put a lot of powder on her face, and she can't see her real appearance after makeup. I'm not afraid of being wiped off by him.

She took Brother Licheng's handkerchief, wiped her nose, and threw it into his hand. Let you lie to me, let you lie to me, disgust you.

After calming down, thinking about the stupid thing I just did, it's so embarrassing. How could she do such a thing. Brother Licheng will not be angry with her!

She secretly glanced at Brother Licheng and was found.

"I'm done venting, I'm not angry anymore!"

"Well, I'll forgive you this time, and I can't do it again next time." He forced himself to be hard-hearted.     "Well, I promise not to do it, let's go, let's go to the movies."

"What's on today?"

"I heard it's a foreign romance."

Wang Licheng and the others chose the middle and back positions, and there was no one left or right.

He handed Xiao Hongyan the frozen Xue Lili he had just bought outside. The cinema is cooler than the outside, and there are fans and drinks, so it doesn't feel hot at all. Much more comfortable than sitting in the park.

The movie has just started, and the couple sitting directly in front of them has already kissed.

Wang Licheng turned his head away in embarrassment, Xiao Hongyan picked up the drink and lowered her head to drink.

The film tells the story between a farmer's daughter and their family's hired cowboys on an American farm in the last century. After all the hardships, the two finally got together. The good times didn't last long. After ten years, he said he was tired of life on the farm and wanted to visit the city. When he is tired he will go home.

Nine months after he left, she gave birth to a baby boy.

She was already gray-haired and full of children and grandchildren. He hasn't come back yet.

I heard that someone had seen him in New York years ago, he was already a homeless, and someone said he was married and had children in Houston.

She still remembered what he said before he left that he was a cowboy, and he longed for a cowboy-like free and wanton life.

The final picture freezes when she leans on the sofa and closes her eyes peacefully. Signed in 1968, 89 years old.

In fact, the second year he went to Washington, there was a disorder and riots in Washington, and he died during that riot and riot.   

"Brother Licheng, do you think like a cowboy?"

"Who doesn't want to advocate freedom? I want to live freely, don't you?"

When she volunteered, she discovered that she had never been free.

"I don't want to, I just want to find someone I like and form a small family." Does Brother Licheng understand what she means? Or they men do not like to be bound and controlled.

She seemed to listen to her brothers complaining that sisters-in-law were controlling too much.

"Well, listening to you, my future has been pre-ordered by you, so what kind of freedom is there to talk about."

Brother Licheng is good or bad, does he also have plans to marry him after saying this. It's so shy to think about it, she seems to have forced marriage unknowingly.

Wang Licheng saw that the people in the movie theater were finished, and secretly kissed her on the face. "It's hot outside, why don't we watch another movie."

"Well." He kissed her, how could he kiss her? They are not married yet. Why was he so happy that he couldn't be found.

Xiao Hongyan's head is getting lower and lower.

"Wait here, I'll go buy a movie ticket for the next show."

It was four o'clock when the second movie ended.

Neither of them rode a bike on their date today.

Wang Licheng took her by the hand and sent her back.

The sky in July can change as soon as it changes. The sky was clear just now, and it was pouring rain in this second.

"Come on, let's go over there to hide from the rain." The two ran in the rain holding hands.

Just as she hid under the eaves, Brother Licheng suddenly hugged her.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm soaking wet." The white dress was wet against her body, showing the color and shape of her underwear.

"Don't look at it." What should I do? There are more and more people hiding from the rain. How can she meet people.

"Well, I don't see it, and neither can anyone else." He carried Xiao Hongyan to the corner, blocking all vision behind him.

"No, it's too see through, it's too tight."

"No, hold the warmth, and the skirt will dry immediately. Don't move."

He took off the only white shirt and put it on Xiao Hongyan's body. It's large, baggy, and doesn't fit the body, so you can't see the clothes inside.

"Brother Licheng, you..." Brother Licheng has muscles on his stomach, he really wants to touch it. She literally reached over and put her hand on his stomach.

"It's hard." He moved to his chest again. harder.

When it's too hot in summer, I often see shirtless men, but I don't see anyone with whole muscles on their bodies.

Wang Licheng grabbed her hand. She was too bold. Fortunately, he turned his back to those people. If anyone saw what she just did, she would be gossiped.

Summer rains come and go quickly. He took her to the intersection and she took off her shirt to him.

"You're wearing it!" Although he wasn't used to the upper body. I have also hinted in my heart over and over again that 'I am a boy, I am a boy'.

"The skirt is already dry, put it on quickly." Brother Licheng's muscles are getting better and better. It's hers and can't be seen by others.
