It was the season when wheat was full of fragrance again, and the workshop began to become chaotic. People temporarily forgot the worries in front of them, and were busy taking leave to transfer classes, preparing to go home for summer harvest.

The cram school was temporarily suspended. I was busy going home after work, doing a day of work, and was sweating all over, thinking about going back and rinsing it quickly. The bathroom in the cotton mill is no longer open, which is a troublesome thing for those of us who are sweating all day long.

After leaving the city, I got off the road, and rode in the wheat fields under the setting sun. The plump wheat ears were filled with gold. In another week, dark backbones with sickles would flash in the fields. I couldn't go back to help my parents harvest wheat this year. I felt a little guilty, but if I could cure Xiaozhuang's illness, I would live happily with Sister Hong in the future and give everything.

Yesterday before getting off work, I called Senior Brother Xiao Cai and took time to the county hospital at noon today. Senior Brother Xiao Cai took me to find the pediatric director who had buck teeth. Director Buck teeth handed me a letter that had been written and asked me to take it to the Provincial People's Hospital to find an old classmate of his. In the letter, he introduced Xiaozhuang's situation and hoped that the old classmate could provide care and help. Director Buck teeth told me many things to pay attention to. He was mean on the surface, spoke a little big tongue, and his southern accent sounded difficult, but in fact he was a kind-hearted and kind person.

When I was about to leave with the letter from Director Buck Tooth, Senior Brother Xiao Cai whispered that Xiao Meihua on his big forehead was pregnant and they planned to get married after collecting wheat. I said that your family is not from the countryside, so what does it matter whether or not to harvest wheat. He said that he had already taken a leave and was going to the countryside with Xiao Meihua to help the Xiao family harvest wheat. I joked that he was such a good son-in-law. Before he got married, he knew that he had worked for his father-in-law's house. Senior Brother Xiao Cai ignored my joke and sighed softly, saying that the house he got married had not been rented yet, and that he was now a troublesome thing.

Today, Sister Hong took a leave of absence. As soon as I got home, two bowls of steaming white noodles were served. The old couple of Carpenter Liu had not been at home these days and were picked up by a married apprentice and went to the south of Shandong for a wedding banquet. Only Sister Hong and I were left in the small courtyard of Xizhangzhuang. Sister Hong specially added a poached egg to my bowl, and then another bowl of deserted plain noodles. I divided the poached egg into two and put it in her bowl. The two of them ate very well, and the small house they rented was full of warmth.

The early summer night was beautiful and peaceful. After the meal was just a simple meal, they quickly washed up and went to bed early. They stared at the starry sky outside the window, listened to each other's pounding heartbeats, and thought that such tranquility was about to pass away, and they couldn't help feeling a faint sadness in their hearts.

The moonlight was as silver as the breeze was silent. I bent down and kissed Sister Hong's soft lips: "I heard from Senior Brother Xiao Cai that Xiao Meihua is pregnant today."

Sister Hong raised her face, glanced at me with a clear look, and asked with concern: "Xiao Xiao is pregnant, when will they get married?"

"Xiao Cai said that she would do it after she was ready to collect the wheat." I continued to kiss her jade-like cheek.

"Aren't they renting a house? Let them come to Xizhangzhuang too. The fellow villagers here are all very good." Sister Hong hugged me and said tactfully.

I stroked the creamy skin and felt tenderness in my heart: "Sister Hong, when Xiaozhuang is cured, we will get married, right?"

Sister Hong didn't answer, smiled apologetically, and her warm cheeks pressed against my chest.

"Then... OK." I swallowed up what I wanted to say again. Now, Xiaozhuang's illness has not been cured and the prospects are still unpredictable. At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little selfish about mentioning marriage.

It was late at night, and we hugged each other on the bed but were sleepless. Sister Hong kissed me back with her wet and hot cherry lips, making a series of wet and tender voices: "Brother Wu Ping, I love you..."

Sister Hong's eyes were as charming as silk, biting her fingers lightly. At the warmest moment, I could still feel that she was about to face all the unknown, but she still did not open the last knot in her heart. She seemed to be using this abnormal obsession to calm the anxiety and worries in her heart.

I lay down flat and panted, saying, "Sister Hong, let's have another baby?"

Sister Hong bit my shoulder weakly and said, "Brother Wu Ping, I really want to give birth to a baby for you, but I am really scared that I will be like Xiaozhuang..."

Sister Hong's body was spasming slightly. I bit her earlobe lightly and tried hard to enlighten her: "No, Xiaozhuang must be a special situation. This time we went to a large hospital in the province and checked our bodies well. I would like to have another child. I guarantee that there will be no health problems."

"Brother Wu Ping..." Sister Hong pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, "Let's take the time to go to the city this Sunday?"

I held Sister Hong's pretty face and felt a little puzzled for a moment: "We are going to the provincial capital, why are we going to the city now?"

Sister Hong tidied up her temples scattered on her face: "I want to go to the city to thank Yuan Yuan."

I was a little dazed, tried hard to calm down, and gently kissed her eyes: "We are leaving next week, and there are so many things to arrange. When we come back from the provincial capital, we will take time to thank Yuan Yuan."

Sister Hong didn't say anything, and thin beads of sweat emerged from her delicate cheeks. After hesitating a little, she said firmly: "No, just go this Sunday. She helped us so much and saved Xiaozhuang. I haven't seen her yet, and I haven't said thank you. I feel uneasy."

I understand Sister Hong's temper. Once she seems gentle, she becomes stubborn, it will be difficult for anyone to persuade her to turn back. I can only reply blankly: "Where... when will we pick up Xiaozhuang?"

Seeing my embarrassed look, Sister Hong smiled and kissed me in the face: "When we come back from the city, we will go to pick up Xiaozhuang."

"I'm going with you this time." I looked into Sister Hong's eyes and said word by word.

"Well..." Sister Hong responded exaggeratedly and scraped my nose.

At night, so quiet, Sister Hong buried her head in my arms and fell asleep tiredly. Looking at her long eyelashes and listening to her orchid-like breathing, a warm light penetrated into my heart. I fell into sweet fantasy and once again looked forward to my future.

Early Sunday morning, Sister Hong and I got up to the bus station and caught the first bus to the city. Along the way, I was always pounding. I don’t know what Sister Hong would think after learning about the relationship between Yuan Yuan and Lu Yu? I don’t know if Yuan Yuan would be unhappy when she saw Sister Hong? After all, Ji Xiaonan was her cousin, and their relationship was extraordinary. I was even more afraid that Yuan Yuan would let Sister Hong know the inside story of the donation, which involved Lu Yu, and something happened again.

It was noon when we arrived in the city. We changed the bus twice before we arrived at the destination. The guard of the Municipal Party Committee’s family yard was very serious. After carefully checking Sister Hong and I, we allowed us to enter the yard. I bit the bullet and knocked on the door of the Yuan family. When Yuan’s mother opened the door, she was a little surprised when she saw that it was me. She let us in and asked the aunt to pour tea and get fruit. I nervously explained the purpose of the trip. Yuan’s mother told us guiltily that Yuan Yuan was not at home now and she went to the Provincial Party School to study on full-time.

After hearing what Yuan's mother said, I felt relieved and felt relieved. I deliberately asked Yuan Yuan what to study in the province. Yuan's mother said it was the "first young cadres training class". We brought two little roosters and some local specialties. Yuan's mother said she didn't want anything. She gave each other a few rounds. Seeing that Sister Hong almost shed tears, Yuan's mother reluctantly took it. Then, she gave us two big boxes of chocolate biscuits with foreign words written on it, and insisted that we hold it. Yuan's mother wanted to let it go

My aunt cooked for us. Sister Hong and I told me that I had eaten on the way to come, so I refused her kindness. Mother Yuan advised us to play in the city for a day. I was just about to have my own plans, so I agreed readily. Mother Yuan asked us if we had found a hotel. I said that we were planning to find it. She immediately called the municipal government guesthouse and arranged for us to stay there tonight. Mother Yuan's enthusiasm moved us and also made Sister Hong feel a lot of favor for Yuan Yuan, whom she had never met.

After leaving the family compound, Sister Hong lowered her head and felt a little depressed. I carefully comforted her: "Yuan Yuan is studying in the provincial capital. We can take time to find her when we go there."

The sunlight at noon shone directly, making people unable to open their eyes. Walking under the shade of the sycamore trees, the heat waves came to me. I decided to stay at the guesthouse first, so I hugged Sister Hong's shoulders and walked towards the bus stop when I came.
