    ?

    Northeast of Jiangxi.  red earth.  The small town of Cambridge with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

    The town has only one side street.  A small street of more than 600 meters passes through the small town surrounded by mountains and rivers.

    The north of the town is surrounded by mountains; the south of the town is surrounded by water.

    The river in the south is crystal clear, and it is a good place for town residents to bathe, wash vegetables and clothes.

    The rolling mountains in the north are the paradise that Li Xiang likes to visit alone.

    At that time, there were no overwhelming advertisements in the town, but slogans from different periods can be seen everywhere.

    At that time, people were not interested in traveling in the mountains and rivers. Li Xiang, who was a bit of a literary fan, liked to wander around the old trenches in the back mountains where the grass had grown and the trees were thick.

    ? On the evening of the Lantern Festival in 1981, Li Xiang, who was just 20 years old and had grown hair on his mouth, was still a scholar. He walked down the mountain quickly in a happy mood.

    Arrived at the entrance of the Chinese Medicine Store, and was about to go up the stairs to have dinner, Xia Wenying from the Nanhuo Store of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative on the opposite side called him eagerly: "Li Xiang, where have you been? There is a call from your home."

    Li Xiang asked strangely: "A call from my home? Do you know what to say?"

    Xia Wenying, who is a little older than Li Xiang, is of medium build, upright, fair and clean, a refreshing and crisp girl.  She jumped up and down in front of him in three steps and two steps, and she was always generous:

    "Just now, your manager Ding asked you to answer the phone, but he couldn't find it. I answered it for you. Your father told you to go home tomorrow."

    Li Xiang hurriedly asked: "What happened?"

    "No. From your father's tone, it must be a good thing." Xia Wenying said with a bit of a naughty smile, "Did the family introduce you to someone?"

    Li Xiang said to himself: "I spend the year at home, and I come to work for a few days, what will happen?"

    Xia Wenying continued jokingly: "If you have a girlfriend, don't forget to treat your sister to a wedding candy."

    "Hey, how is it possible, I'm still an apprentice!" Li Xiang was shy after reacting, "Thank you, Miss Wenying, I'm going to eat."

    After the Lantern Festival, the store will close at 4 pm.  Li Xiang went up to the mountain to play, but also to avoid the rush of cooking, let the masters cook first and eat first.

    When he came to the cafeteria through the drying yard in the yard, he was surprised to find that he was the first one to go to the cafeteria.

    ¡ª¡ªThe others went home for the holidays.

    Go to the stove to find a match, light a kerosene lamp, go to the kitchen cupboard, take out the meal made at noon, put it on the table, wash the pot, wash the dishes, add firewood, light the fire, and heat the meal.

    Just as the fire was lit, Xia Wenying ran to the stove, "Li Xiang, don't do it, let's eat at my house together."

    Li Xiang hurriedly said: "No, no, that's so embarrassing."

    "Are you going to give me a courtesy (polite)?"

    "No, you know I don't like dealing with strangers." Li Xiang asked back, "You closed the door?"

    "It's not waiting for you, it's already closed. If you really don't want to go, then I'm leaving?"

    "Okay." After the meal, Li Xiang went back to the room in the dark, without lighting the lamp, and leaned on the neatly folded quilt, reflecting.

    What's so good?  Others kindly asked me to go to dinner, but I didn't even have a polite word.

    Boom, boom, boom.  Someone knocks on the window.  "Who?" Who could it be?  Li Xiang sat up and asked.

    "Li Xiang, it's me, you won't sleep, right?" It was Xia Wenying.

    "How is it possible. Wait a minute, I'll light the lamp." Seeing the flickering light, Li Xiang remembered that he stayed up late last night to read and nearly ran out of kerosene.

    Li Xiang simply blew out the lights, opened the door and went outside.  "Sorry, no kerosene. What's up?"

    "There is a movie in the commune auditorium, do you want to go and watch it?"

    "I don't want to go, and there are no new movies. I'll go buy some kerosene later, and then go to the manager's house to ask for a leave."

    "Then I'm going. Go to bed early and don't stay up late every day." Xia Wenying speaks crisply and does things neatly.

    Looking at the back of Xia Wenying going away, Li Xiang felt that she was a few months older than him, like a sister.

    Li Xiang especially admires her youth and maturity, she will leave room for maneuver when she speaks and does things.

    After asking the manager for two days off, Li Xiang went back to get the kerosene bottle, and then went to the department store of the supply and marketing cooperative to buy kerosene.

    There is only one decent department store on the streets of Kangqiao Town, and this one is the only one that closes late.

    The department store is very close to the National Pharmacy, with only two shops in the middle.

    In the small town, Li Xiang never went shopping, and rarely went to department stores.

    &nb?.

    The ruts on the bluestone slab are still so clear and obvious, and it seems to be telling the vicissitudes of the years.

    A large area of ??red in the field is safflower, and the golden and golden undulating fields and slopes are rapeseed flowers. From a close view or from a distance, they all have the unique freshness, unique beauty and magnificence of Jiangnan Water Town.

    There is a strong fragrance of flowers coming from the field, as well as the earthy smell that Li Xiang was familiar with when he was herding cattle when he was a child.

    Along the way, Li Xiang enjoyed himself and occasionally looked at his father's expression.  He couldn't read anything from the plain expression on his father's face.

    Almost into the village, Dad stopped.  He said to Li Xiang seriously: "Come here for dinner today, I want you to meet Uncle Yu's daughter. After he met you a few days ago, he went back to persuade his father to marry his sister to you.  It's up to you whether you agree or not. If you agree, I will take his sister to Jinjiang, Fujian to play with his troops in the second half of the year."

    It was only then that Li Xiang realized that his father didn't speak all the way because he was suing in his stomach.

    Li Xiang, who was originally refreshed, suddenly became clouded: Blind date?  Not only unexpected, but unimaginable.  Youth in the 1980s still need introductions and blind dates?

    What is especially strange is that he has been to his uncle's house many times, so why didn't he know that he still has a daughter?  When his son joined the army, he was still young, and he didn't say a few words when we met a few days ago!

    Do we need an introduction when we fall in love and find a partner?  Li Xiang didn't think about it.

    He felt torn between¡ª

    What should I do if I go in and feel embarrassed?  How to say?

    If you don't go in, Dad is in a dilemma, what should he do if he has been an old friend for decades? How to say?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
