Chapter 108
Let Le stay by his side and know more about the ten-year agreement. He let people change clothes without permission and came back late and was fined for three months.
On the first day of the new year, I stood in the yard and stretched out early, watching the gray sky begin to turn blue.My aunt came out and put a coat on my shoulders: "The snow is the coldest when it melts." But I smirked at my aunt, muttering in my heart: the winter snow in my heart that has been accumulating for many years is also slowly melting up.
As usual, when Chun Xue's mother came to visit, my aunt and I warmly entertained her, but Aunt Zhang had already gone to Chun Xue's place to take care of her, so we didn't keep her for dinner.After seeing off Haruyuki's mother, I took my aunt's arm and went out to collect firewood.Along the way, my aunt did not forget to reprimand me: "It's so good now, even the cook is given to others. If there are more guests, how can you entertain them?"
I smiled and said, "Isn't there still a little aunt? After eating for so many years, I still can't get used to Aunt Zhang's food." I leaned my head on my aunt's shoulder and acted like a baby, "It's still the best food made by my aunt." I heard Auntie laughed out loud.The last year in the border town is counting down, and I was so excited that my little tail kept wagging.
This year, Li Le has been guarding the delicate Chun Xue. Even when the child is born, except for the very special reason of going to the battle, he always takes care of the child at home.I have been there a few times, and I either saw him hugging his younger son or playing with his older son.Whenever I come, Xiaoya will take the initiative to lead me to see Haruyuki.I guessed that Haruyuki didn't want me to have the opportunity to be alone with Li Le.There wasn't much to say to Haruyuki, except to pay more attention to his health and take a good rest.On the contrary, he talked more with Haru Xue's mother and Aunt Zhang.Aunt Zhang complained that I lent her to Haruyuki at the beginning, and then she stopped taking her.Now he gets along well with Chun Xue's mother and is able to serve Li Le, and he is quite happy in his heart.Haruyuki's mother felt that I was very knowledgeable, and even Mrs. Zhang brought me here, and she treated me differently, and would ask me to stay for dinner every time, but when I thought of Haruyuki's face-shaking appearance, I refused.My aunt was reluctant to come every time. I knew that she didn't like Chun Xue and felt sorry for Li Le, so she didn't want to see her at all.Although Li Le doesn't come here often, there are still things that should be there.What Haruyuki has, I have too.Chun Xue was supposed to make a fuss, but thinking that Li Le almost didn't even come to sit with me anymore, he stopped arguing with my outdated second sister about these trivial matters.
With nothing to do, I sat under the big tree, took out the sewing box, and began to work on the selected brocade handkerchief.Although my female worker is not good, but the general appearance can still be embroidered.What I am embroidering today is not flowers or butterflies, but a word.That word has been described thousands of times in my mind, even if I don't look at Liang Shiqin's handwriting, I can still write it very realistically.My aunt and I were the only ones in the house. Seeing that I was obsessed with it, my aunt didn't say much.This is what I embroidered for myself, and it is also for Liang Shiqin.So in order to do my best, I embroidered very slowly.
The midsummer time is a bit bright, I raise the brocade handkerchief in my hand, and look at my work carefully, every stitch, every thread, every stroke and every stroke hides my infinite thoughts.I put the handkerchief in the palm of my hand, stroked her slowly, and muttered: "I don't know if it looks like it." Just as my aunt came over, I quickly put away the handkerchief and smiled silly at her.My aunt shook her head helplessly, and handed the cabbage to my hand.The two of us sorted out the pimples in silence.
The autumn wind in the border town was a bit strong, and just after dark, I sat and chatted with my aunt in the hall.Hearing the knock on the door, I called the gatekeeper, and it was Zhang Er as expected.Zhang Er sent some pastries at Li Le's request.I took advantage of the situation and kept him to eat together.We treated Zhang Er like a family member, and he did not refuse.My aunt put the cakes on a plate, and also attached the freshly brewed tea.The three of us started eating and chatting at the table.Zhang Erjiang was so excited that he accidentally turned the tea upside down, and the tea flowed towards me, and the corners of his clothes were stained with water.I immediately took out the handkerchief, saw that it was the square handkerchief in my heart, and put it back again, letting the tea wet my clothes.Zhang Er apologized carefully, and I was relieved.Zhang Er, who thought he had made a mistake, did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.My aunt accompanied me to change clothes.
"Why don't you use the handkerchief?" My aunt took out the clean clothes and handed them to me.I didn't know how to explain it for a while.Once it was embroidered, I couldn't live without it, and I had to carry it to feel at ease.I got used to it.I spilled tea today, almost used it and soiled it, and I felt a little scared.My aunt saw that I was silent, and reminded: "Since you don't want to use it, don't hold it." I nodded, yes, it was installed.It is a gift I am going to give to Liang Shiqin.
A few days later, Li Le, who hadn't been here for a long time, came to the door.This caught me off guard.But Li Le didn't say anything, just looked at me displeased, took a sip of tea, and left.From then on, every few days he would just sit and go as before.Sometimes when I am not at home, I will sit until I come back before leaving.Li Le's abnormal behavior made me, who was ecstatic near the end of the year, suddenly feel a sense of crisis.Especially since Haruyuki didn't make a fuss, I felt even more uneasy.
"It's getting late." Seeing that Li Le had finished his first cup of tea and had no intention of getting up, I simply reminded him.But he stood still.It was snowing outside again.My heart skipped a beat: "If I don't leave, the snow will be heavy, and if I fall, Haruyuki will blame me."
Li Le looked up at me, and I felt my hairs stand up.Li Le rolled his eyes, and said leisurely: "Tonight, I'm not leaving." I felt like I was being bombarded by five thunderbolts, and I kept shouting in my heart: Where's Haruyuki?What about Haruyuki?Seeing my shocked appearance, Li Le smiled and said, "Why, can't I stay?"
I blurted out, "Haruyuki will be worried."
Li Le asked me in turn: "Aren't you worried?" Seeing the sparks in Li Le's eyes, my head suddenly started to hurt.Li Le continued to ask: "After all these years, are you really willing?" The sensitive topic finally came.I thought that once the new year was over, the ten-year agreement was finally over, and I would be able to leave gracefully.Unexpectedly, at the juncture, Li Le would have the tendency to go back on his word.I forced myself to look at him calmly, wondering how likely he was to let me go.Li Le suddenly smiled: "I think I'd better go back." After speaking, Li Le got up and left.My tense heart relaxes a little.Walking to the door, Li Le added: "I'll come see you tomorrow." After opening the door, I heard the sound of the north wind whistling in the yard, and I opened my hands, the palms of which were already wet.
In the evening, I lay alone on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking about Li Le's performance recently, and felt that he could tear up the ten-year agreement at will.Whether I go or stay is not up to me.That night, I didn't feel sleepy at all.The next day, guessing when Li Le would leave the house, he lied to his aunt and sneaked to Haruyuki's place.
I dare not tell my aunt the truth, after all, she is very willing that I stay in the border town for the rest of my life.If it is seen that Li Le has the appearance of persuasion, I guess my aunt will push the boat along.So, I have to do it myself.The little girl opened the door and saw me with displeasure on her face.Knowing that Aunt Zhang and Chun Xue's mother were out shopping, Zhang Er also followed Li Le.I felt relieved and went to Haruyuki’s room.Haruyuki was very angry when he saw me, and he didn't even want to show me his face.I was flustered, fearing that someone would come back at any time, so I forced Xiaoya away, so I began to confess to Haruyuki: "Sister must have told you that if I want to tie Li Le's heart to you, I can't stay by his side." When Li Le was mentioned, Chun Xue became interested.I continued to focus on the key points: "I don't know if Li Le told you, but I have a ten-year agreement with him. We agreed that I would stay with him in the border town for ten years, and then return to Yanjing to serve Li's father and Li's mother." Here, Haruyuki looked at me with a slight smile.I moved closer to her: "But he decides whether I will go or stay. If he doesn't let me go, I can't go back." I saw Haruyuki's brows furrowed, "This year is over, and the ten-year agreement is coming. You Do you want me to stay, or do you want me to go?" I threw the question to Haruyuki.
Haruyuki didn't answer me, but looked at me with consideration: "Why should I believe your words?"
"But you have to believe what Eldest Sister said. She also knows about this agreement. You can find out as soon as you ask." Seeing that Haruyuki was a little moved, I approached Haruyuki again, with a serious heart, "I know, Li Le is not only yours now, even Li Le is yours. My heart is yours too. I stay here, and I can't see him all day long, so I can't help but feel sad. Instead of staying here and holding on to the vacant room, taking the title of the second sister, and getting caught in your eyes, it's better to go back to Yanjing , take good care of the eldest sister and in-laws."
Haruyuki looked at me sideways: "Eldest sister doesn't like you, do you really want to go back?"
I sat down and began to pretend to be melancholy: "Eldest sister doesn't like me, but it's better than seeing Li Le every day and not being able to stay together all night."
"What!" Haruyuki's violent temper came as soon as he said it.
I sighed again: "Maybe Li Le feels that I have been neglected for a long time, so he will come to my place for a few days to sit for a while. But just sitting for a while, can't relieve my suffering of being alone every night." Seeing that Haruyuki blushed , I guess Li Le came here without telling her, so it would be easier to handle, I continued to add details, "I even gave me a gold hairpin the day before yesterday, saying it was to make up for me." I watched Haruyuki's anger that was about to erupt. , sighed, "Little sister, you should know that Li Le is good, if you get a little, you will think more."
"Pa", Chun Xue slapped the table hard, and said angrily, "What a Li Le."
"Sister, don't get angry about me. I'm just saying that his heart is still with you." I looked at Haruyuki aggrieved.Haru Xuehao glanced at me relentlessly before sitting down slowly.
After being silent for a while, Chun Xue said, "Eldest sister said that she wanted you to leave the border town and return to Yanjing to take care of your in-laws. I just listened to what elder sister said, and I didn't mean to drive you away just because I was afraid that you would snatch Li Le."
"That's right. We can't listen to what Eldest Sister says." I smiled at Haruyuki, and Haruyuki smiled back proudly.So our agreement was finalized.
