In spring, the Huaibei Plain is rich in colors in the vast fields. The long canals are red and green on both sides of the canal. The sunny sky is always extremely comfortable. The days with beautiful women can arouse people's wonderful yearning. My happiness and commotion cannot be suppressed and written on my face.

"Wu Ping, what's wrong with you recently? It's like you're injecting chicken blood." Senior Brother Xiao Cai looked at me and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's nothing, learn boxing with the master." I smiled and said halfway.

"Your master is so nice. You protect you everything. Unlike that fat man Zhang, who asked me to help him steal things from the factory." Senior Brother Xiao Cai's loofah face turned a little blue.

"You can't do this anymore." I reminded kindly.

"Tomorrow, Sunday, go to my house to play military chess. You have not been to my house yet." Senior Brother Xiao Cai suggested.

"There is no time tomorrow." I refused him without thinking.

"You are a bachelor, what can you do on Sunday?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai looked at me in confusion.

"The master asked me to help him." I made a random reason.

I lied to Senior Brother Xiao Cai and said that something was wrong because I did something tomorrow. Because the master returned to the area, I took a shower from get off work last night and hurried back to the guesthouse. As soon as I stepped into the yard, the door on the second floor creaked and opened. In the sunset, Yin Hong walked out with a graceful look: "Brother Wu Ping, are you doing something this Sunday?"

"It's okay." I looked at the pretty face and hurriedly answered.

"Where... can you please help me?" Yin Hong bent down and asked apologetically.

"Okay." My heart was a little excited and couldn't stop beating...

"Okay, thank you very much." A glimmer of happiness appeared in those clear eyes.

Early on Sunday morning, I rode a borrowed tricycle out. Because Aunt Cao repeatedly explained to me, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Yin Hong left the living area early and waited for me far ahead.

Because it was Sunday, there was no hurry to work on the street, and it seemed quiet and wide. I carried the red red out of the county town all the way east, and the sun had just jumped out of the horizon. It was the late spring and summer solstice. There were faint clouds floating on a clear blue sky. The breeze blew through the fields, and the wheat seedlings were shaking gently. I was riding a tricycle all over and running wildly on the path in the fields.

"Ouch...Brother Wu Ping, please slow down and don't overturn the car." Yin Hong called out behind me.

"It's okay, Sister Hong, I'm going to be steady. You sit down and keep your heart in your stomach." Hearing Yin Hong's panting sound of panting, I became even more excited.

A cuckoo crowed over the wheat fields in the distance. Yin Hong pointed to a small village hidden among the green trees in front and screamed happily: "We are here in Xizhangzhuang we are going to."

We rode a tricycle and rush into Xizhangzhuang Village. This small village located under the canal dam is a bit similar to Wuwa, our hometown. Perhaps because the terrain is relatively low and the foundations of the villagers are very high. At first glance, it looks like a row of earthen castles built on a dirt platform, which is very strange and interesting. Yin Hong and I inquired all the way and came to the high platform of a family in the middle of the village.

"Master Liu, your guest is here." A group of children following us cheered and climbed onto the dirt platform before we could get off the car, slapped the yard gate and started shouting.

"Hey--come." With a loud echo, an old man in his sixties pulled out the door bolt and strode out.

"Uncle Liu, I'm here to pull the wardrobe today." Yin Hong jumped out of the car lightly and greeted the old man crisply.

"I'm waiting for you, come up and take a break." The old man stood on the platform, greeting us with a smile.

We climbed onto the earthen platform, and the old man blocked the children outside the door. This is a typical Huaibei farmyard, with five green brick and tiled houses facing each other. This is the place where the owner meets guests and lives. There are two side rooms on both sides of the east and west, making kitchens and utility rooms. As soon as we stepped into the yard, a kind-hearted aunt came out of the main hall.

"You are Xiao Yin. I heard the old man say that there is a daughter like a fairy who is coming to our house to buy a wardrobe. I wondered. The old man has a lot of experience in traveling around the world and has never praised anyone like this. Now he looks so handsome than the fairy in the painting." The old woman grabbed Yin Hong's slender little hand and looked up and down, but she couldn't see enough.

"Auntie, I'm not that handsome, I'm not that handsome," her bright red and curved eyebrows were smiling, and her fair and flawless cheeks showed a faint pink.

It was only then that I understood what was going on. Uncle Liu in front of me was an old carpenter. More than a month ago, Yin Hong saw him secretly selling a large wardrobe, pine shelves, Paulownia boards, real materials, and fine workmanship. Yin Hong liked it so much, but unfortunately someone had bought this large wardrobe at that time. Because at that time, farmers sold their own things and were still "speculative" behavior, they could only do it secretly in private. Yin Hong discussed with Uncle Liu and asked the old man to call her another one, and the old man agreed. A few days ago, the old man made the cabinet and painted it a few times. He felt that everything was right, so he asked someone to send her a message according to the address she left, asking her to pull the wardrobe back.

We went to the west wing to see the prepared cabinet. It was indeed finely made of materials and beautifully made. Yin Hong couldn't help but praise it. We originally wanted to pull the wardrobe and leave, but the old couple Liu and Carpenter insisted on keeping us for dinner, which made us feel a little disgusted. There was no reason why they bought things and were still having dinner at them. Yin Hong and I firmly refused, but the old couple was even more determined than us. In the end, we had to follow the guests.

I sat in the main hall to accompany Liu Carpenter. Yin Hong was embarrassed to sit down, so he went to the pot house in the west side room (the commonly known as the kitchen in the rural Huaibei region) to help the old lady cook. I learned from Liu Carpenter's words that the old couple was a relatively special family. Because the old lady could not give birth, they still have no children. Generally speaking, it was a big deal to pass on the family line in the countryside, women would not give birth, and men and even his family would have the idea of ​​divorce and divorce. The old man was a good craftsman and lived a good life at home. It was not difficult to divorce and marry again, but he traveled around the world and was an open-minded and wise person, and he was very dedicated to the old lady, so they had a good relationship. This was really rare in the rural areas at that time, especially the backward Huaibei countryside. Later, I told Yin Hong about this, which made her sigh and sigh for a long time.

The old lady was clean and skillfully working. With the help of Yin Hong, she brought the food up soon. A plate of cold noodles, a plate of fried eggs with salt beans, a few stir-fried vegetarian dishes, and finally a large bowl of braised chicken nuggets. Uncle Liu insisted that I drink a few cups with him. After a few cups of wine, I turned red and my head started to feel a little dizzy.

"Xiao Yin, you have a good vision. I think Xiao Wu is a good-hearted and dedicated child. He is tall and handsome. If you buy a wardrobe and prepare to get married, you will definitely notify the old lady and we will go to drink your wedding banquet." The old lady's eyes moved from red to my face and praised with a smile.

The aunt said that, Yin Hong blushed, and she hurriedly said shyly and angryly: "Auntie, what are you saying? This is not my partner. I am much older than him. He is me... brother, I don't buy a big wardrobe to get married."

"Oh, look at me, I'm wrong." When the old lady heard that she was busy admitting her mistake, the old lady laughed aside.

Looking at Yin Hong's shy expression, I was also very embarrassed. In the past six months, I developed rapidly. In addition to doing physical work, I learned fists and feet with my master. I suddenly became tall and strong, no longer a soft and weak bean sprout. No wonder the old couple mistakenly thought me as Yin Hong's boyfriend.

Yin Hong saw that I was also smirking, and she became even more shy. She looked bright and fond, and gave me a fierce look: "You little kid, why are you happy?"

After we finished our meal, Yin Hong wanted to help clean the dishes, but the aunt said nothing. We drank some tea and thought to say goodbye quickly. Uncle Liu and I carried the wardrobe out of the door and got off the high earthen platform. Uncle Liu quickly tied the wardrobe firmly to the tricycle with two thin wire ropes, and checked it back and forth, and confirmed that there was no problem. Only then did Yin Hong get on the car and hold the tied wardrobe. The old couple told me to ride slowly on the road and not to knock off the paint of the new wardrobe.

Because I drank some wine, my legs were a little fluttering, and with such a big object, I could only ride forward staggeringly, and I didn't dare to stomp hard like when I came.

"Brother Wu Ping, can you do it?" Yin Hong asked with concern behind her.

"It's okay, a security worker can't pull a big wardrobe, it's too wasteful." I answered indifferently, but my tongue was a little straight.

"Let's ride slowly. If it really doesn't work, just take a rest." Yin Hong comforted her helplessly after hearing my tone.

"It's really okay..." I burped and turned around and asked, "Sister Hong, where are you going to buy this big wardrobe?"

"Just put it where I live, where... can I put it there?" Yin Hong twisted his waist lightly and responded with a smile.

"Sister Hong, are you going to get married if you buy a big wardrobe?" I remembered the master's advice, and used the alcohol to express my doubts.

"I'm going to get married if I buy a big wardrobe. If I buy another bed, wouldn't I want to get married even more?" Yin Hong laughed and said coquettishly.

"Who will buy a bed if you don't get married?" I was a little confused by her smile and muttered involuntarily.

Yin Hong couldn't help laughing, laughed loudly, glanced at me and joked, "If I get married, I'll marry you, right? Didn't the aunt say during the meal just now, are we two a couple?"

"Then... Then our ancestor Lin of the Wu family is really emitting smoke." I felt excited and continued to follow Yin Hong's words.

"What are you thinking? You little brat, I'm five years older than you." Yin Hong giggled with a shy look on her face, stretched out her slender little hand, and slapped me in the back.

"What's wrong with five years older? I'm going to marry you..." I was so brave that I just stopped the car, twisted my body and looked straight at her, and said fiercely.

"Okay, you Wu Ping, you're drunk and crazy..." Yin Hong raised her hand exaggeratedly and put her on her back a few more times.

"I'm not drunk, I'm telling the truth. I want to marry you-" I roared to the sky and shouted loudly.

"I'm talking and talking..." A thunderous sound of showers sounded on my spine, but it didn't hurt at all like spring rain.

The sun is warm and the breeze blows on our faces. The carefree laughter drifts in the blue sky in May.

Back at the guesthouse that afternoon, I put the big wardrobe on the second floor alone. This was the first time I stepped into Yinhong's room, which was clean and tidy, filled with the unique body fragrance of women. During dinner, Yinhong took the noodles and two eggs to the distribution room. I held the fragrant egg noodles, which was really a bit ecstatic.

I chatted with Yin Hong for a long time. With the help of noon, I randomly commented on the literary works I had read and talked about my life ideals without knowing the sky and the earth. Yin Hong looked calm, listened quietly, and smiled occasionally. I was so arrogant that I could do it at that time, as if the whole world was in my arms. The next day, when I woke up and drunk, I really regretted and felt ashamed for several days, and I was even a little embarrassed to see Yin Hong.
