The cold air was born at the end of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Thick ice formed on the asphalt;

Walking along the banks of the river,

Their feelings were as deep as the heart of the sea.

January 5th was the first Sunday after New Year's Day. It was freezing cold and freezing cold. The temperature reached -30 degrees Celsius. There was a red sun in the sky, emitting a little heat in a listless manner; there were a few faint white clouds in the sky, moving towards the southeast; and in the busy city, there was an endless stream of people and carriages …

At 9 in the morning, Zi Peng and Li Xia met up on time at New Station's usual place. It was the 28th of last month, and he went to see her. Because there were so many people in her family, her big sister and her nephew were here. Therefore, he had no opportunity to be alone with her; no opportunity to speak to her alone; no opportunity to shake her hand and hug her. Therefore, he could only write her a piece of paper and ask to meet her at City on the Sunday after New Year's Day.

After Zipeng and Lixia left for Evergreen on December 3, they saw her again on December 4. That day was Liang Shouquan's forty-fifth birthday, so he went to give Liang a birthday. At the Liang house, she helped with the cooking in the kitchen.

After lunch, Lixia invited Zi Peng to her house, which he happily agreed to. So he came to her house to play chess with her husband. She poured water for him, offered him cigarettes, and brought him melon seed. She treated him very well. Therefore, he thought: I should take advantage of today's birthday opportunity for Liang Shouquan to spend the night here and return home the next morning. After making up his mind, he ate the melon seed and drank tea as he played chess.

After dinner, Zi Peng, Lixia, Gui Hong and Liang Shouquan played poker in her house. Zi Peng and Lixia sat across from each other, and from time to time, she would stare at him with her large eyes that were as gentle as water. Every time he looked, his heart would be filled with waves of deep emotions. Every time he looked, the blood in his heart would flow faster. Every time he looked, his face would be filled with joy.

They called from 7 p. m. to 12 p. m. Then, he began to play mahjong again. Her nephew Meng Qingjun took her place while she was playing mahjong. Lixia sat on the kang next to Zi Peng. They kept playing until 5 AM in the morning, while Lixia stayed by Zi Peng's side until 5 AM. He hadn't slept at all that night, but he hadn't slept with her at all …

On the 22nd of December, Zi Peng went to visit Lixia, but she was not at home today. This disappointed him because he had not seen her for 18 days. These 18 days, although not too long, were like half a century for him.

Thus, on December 28th, Zi Peng went to visit Lixia again. Although he had seen her this time, there were many relatives in her family that prevented him from getting close to her. As a result, he wrote a note and gave it to her, thus giving her today's appointment …

Today, Zi Peng and Lixia had come at the right time; today, they had met each other with great excitement; today, their faces were filled with smiles. Thus, they crossed a road and arrived at the embankment of the river.

The embankment of the river was now covered with snow. In the middle of the embankment was a road that was as smooth and transparent as a mirror that had been run over by a car. If one was not careful when walking, one would fall head and shoulders on top of it; on the river, many children and youths were skating; on the opposite side of the Mount Yuhuang, pine, cypress, and broad-leaved trees were mixed together, and a thick layer of trees hung from the branches. Under the rays of the sun, it shines...

After reaching the riverbank, Zi Peng held Lixia's frozen hands and said affectionately:

"Sister, you really think too much of your brother these past few days." After Liang Shouquan's birthday, he played poker with his mahjong at your house for an entire day and night. I was so happy that day, and I was still awake at dawn. You have always been by my side, making me feel very warm, very comfortable, very happy. "

Lixia took Zi Peng's arm and excitedly said:

"Brother, that day, I was happier than anyone else. I didn't expect you to stay at my house all night. "

Zi Peng looked at the limpid, talkative eyes of Lixia and was extremely excited. He recalled saying:

"After that day, I came to see you twice, once when you weren't at home, and once when you had a lot of guests at your house. I missed you so much that I couldn't ease your mood. That's why I invited you to meet me in City today. "

Due to the cold weather, Lixia's face was dyed with two pieces of very nice red.

She looked at him with twinkling eyes and said earnestly:

"Brother, I also especially missed you because two sisters and two nephews came to my house, so I can't go out and look for you. "Therefore, I miss you very much in my heart; therefore, I am very concerned about you in my heart; therefore, I would very much like to walk with you for a while and speak my mind."

Zi Peng was infected by Lixia's agitated emotions. At this moment, he thought of the scene when he went with her to Evergreen. He said softly:

"Sis, I recalled the scene on December 3rd at home and I felt particularly meaningful. I felt especially good and unforgettable."

"Brother, it's me too. Although we walked so far that day, I don't feel tired at all. "When I returned home, I was overjoyed just thinking about it." As she spoke, she stroked Zi Peng's hair with her hand and then looked at him with her big, tender eyes. It made his heart feel warm and happy. After looking at each other for a while, he looked in and continued:

"Little Sister, that day will leave behind beautiful memories in my life, and they will forever be engraved in my heart."

Lixia looked at Zi Peng's blissful expression and asked,

"Brother, were you satisfied that day?"

When Zi Peng heard Lixia ask him this question, he felt a sweet feeling in his heart. He recalled the scene and said,

"My good sister, that day, I was very satisfied. I've been with you all day, from eight in the morning to seven in the evening, 11 hours apart. Tell me, can I not be satisfied? Also, at your sister's house, you cooked so many dishes and drank so much wine for us. Tell me, can I not be satisfied? On the way back with you, I held your hand, you took my arm, they hugged and kissed each other. "Tell me, can I not be satisfied?"

Hearing Zi Peng's words, Lixia felt her heart heat up. She looked at him with affectionate eyes and murmured

"Brother, that night, I lay on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. I wish you were my husband! "

Zi Peng's heart couldn't help but beat even faster when he saw the excitement in Lixia's heart. He couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, emotionally saying:

"Sister, although I am not your husband, my love for you, my love for you, and my longing for you have already surpassed your husband. Think of me as your husband from now on. "

Lixia's eyes looked at Zi Peng without blinking, and she said a little bashfully:

"Brother, I think so too. "You see, everything I've done to you, I've treated you as my husband."

Zi Peng looked at Lixia's beautiful face and said,

"Little sister, actually, I have long since treated you as my wife. Since April 28, 88; since our first sexual relationship; you've been my wife. Although we are not legitimate, we are real; we are genuine; we are irrefutable facts. "

Listening to Zi Peng's words, she felt extremely blissful. She put her head on his shoulder and said sincerely:

"Since Big Bro thinks so, then I shall be your de facto wife. Even so, I feel honored; even so, I feel proud; even so, I feel exhilarated; even so, I feel infinitely happy. "

Zi Peng felt that it was too cold today. Lixia trembled a little due to the cold. He said in concern,

"Sis, it's so cold today! You don't wear much, and I'm really worried about you. Come on, let's go to a movie first. It's quite warm in the cinema. Protecting the body is our main asset. "

When Lucia heard Zipeng say that he wanted to go to the movies with her, she was also very willing. She agreed:

"Big bro's right, then let's go watch a movie."

Thus, Zi Peng and Li Xia got off the riverbank and walked towards Changbai Mountain Theater. The distance from the river bank to Changbai Mountain Theater was still more than 200 meters, they had to cross a road. On the road, all kinds of cars were running; the pedestrians on the sidewalk were wearing colorful winter clothes; and the snow on the road was being crushed by the cars like a big mirror. They crossed the road and came to the bustling Changbai Mountain Theater. He bought the Movie tickets and she took his arm and walked into the theater. A joint film between Beijing and Hong Kong studios is being shown in the theater, 'New Year'. The theater was warm, a great contrast to the temperature outside. So he and she felt much warmer. In the theater, he snuggled close to her …

After the movie ended, Zi Peng and Lixia walked into a restaurant where they each ate a bowl of hot soup and drank a bowl of hot soup. Immediately, their bodies would be covered in sweat. They came out of the wonton stew section and walked up the embankment for another ten miles. There weren't many pedestrians here, only a few. Occasionally, a car would pass by. She took his arm and said:

"Brother, after eating this wonton stew, I'm already sweating. It's just that when I came here earlier, my body was trembling. "

Zi Peng was very happy to see that Lia's body had warmed up. But he still said with concern:

"Sister, the clothes you're wearing are too few. The temperature is -30 degrees Celsius and you're not wearing cotton clothes. Aren't you looking for trouble?"

Lixia was wearing only a woolen sweater and a red tweed jacket. She went on to say:

"Brother, it wasn't too cold when I left home. I don't know why, but it's getting colder as we walk. It's better now, I'm covered with sweat. "

Zi Peng's heart surged with ripples of love as he looked at Lixia's beautiful and delicate face and her well-proportioned body. He said emotionally:

"Sister, it's such a cold day, I shouldn't have asked you out." To let you suffer, to let you suffer, my heart is not good. But then again, I've come to see you twice in a row. Either you're not home, or there's someone in your family. I only asked you to come out and walk around because I didn't know what to think of you.

Listening to Zi Peng's words, Lixia felt extremely good in her heart. She went on to say:

"Bro, it's the first time my sister and the others have gone back. Even if you don't ask me, I will. No matter how cold the sky is, I am not afraid. As long as you are by my side, I can overcome all the difficulties. "

Zi Peng heard the heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart, and was deeply moved. He held her hand and said happily:

"Sister, I am satisfied to have such a considerate good confidant like you, a good sister, a good friend, and a good wife. Your love for me; your concern for me; your consideration for me. To make me feel infinitely happy; to make me immensely proud; to make me feel exalted. Therefore, I want to treat little sister as the true wife of my heart for the rest of my life. "

After listening to Zi Peng's words, Lixia was moved to tears. Her eyes never wavered as she looked at him and said tenderly:

"Brother, with your words, little sister is satisfied. I don't care what storms I encounter on the journey ahead; I don't care what hardships I encounter; I don't care what hardships I encounter. I will walk down the path with you, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder. "

Zi Peng heard the confession as well, and felt it was even sweeter than eating honey. He ran his hand over her long black hair and said from the bottom of his heart:

"Thank you sister for being so infatuated with me; thank you sister for being so trusting; thank you sister for being so true to me; I will not let you down. For years, you have suffered for me; you have not suffered for me; you have suffered for me; you have suffered for me; you have suffered for me; you have shed tears for me; I will remember all the money you have spent for me, and I will repay you in the future. "

After listening to Zi Peng's praise, Lixia felt warm in her heart. Embarrassed, she said:

"Brother, don't say that. You pay more than I do. I really appreciate it; I really don't think I'll ever be able to repay you in this lifetime. "

Zi Peng put an arm around Lia Xia's shoulder and held his hand with one hand. He changed the topic and said:

"Sister, let's change the topic." Tell me about how you felt on December 4th last year. "

Lixia was also very interested in this topic. She looked at Zi Peng's handsome face and muttered,

"Bro, on December 4th, I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you to stay with me all night."

Zi Peng also felt the same way when he heard Lixia's words. Remembering the scene from that day, he emotionally said:

"That day when I went to give Liang Shouquan a birthday, when Gui Hong and I were playing chess, you poured water, offered me cigarettes, and gave me a melon seed. This moved my heart greatly. So I decided to spend the night at your house. I didn't think so when I came here. But I saw how much you cared about me, and how considerate, and how much you loved me. I really don't want to leave you. That's why I played poker and mahjong at your house all night. You have been by my side all night. I didn't seem tired at all; I wasn't sleepy at all; I wasn't tired at all. As long as you are here, I am happy; as long as you are here, I am happy; as long as you are here, I am happy.

Hearing Zi Peng's confession, Lixia felt very sweet in her heart. She also told him what she had said to him that day.

"Brother, you played at my house all that night, I'm really, really happy! You'll be back in the afternoon, I thought. But instead of going back, you're here with me. Actually, in my heart, I really can't let you go. Even if I were to keep you, you wouldn't be able to stay here. But there was an accident, and you did stay. I was pleasantly surprised, and I felt very happy at the same time. "

"Sister, today we are almost at the train station again. I'm sorry to let you go so far in such cold weather. " By this time they were at the edge of the train path, and a train full of passengers roared past them, blowing a cold wind around them. After the train passed, she continued,

"Brother, you don't have to say too much. I was willing. Who told me to fall in love with you? Once I make a decision, I won't regret it. This little bit of suffering is nothing. Even if I really have to suffer a little, my heart will still be sweet. "

Zi Peng patted her shoulder and encouraged her:

"Sister, if you stay for another two months, the sky will turn warm." I'm so happy that we'll be here when we're looking forward to it. "

Hearing Zi Peng's words, Lixia felt that it made a lot of sense. She agreed with him and said:

"Brother, now is January 5th. In two months, it will be March 24th. It's our day to celebrate."

Zi Peng and Lixia's views were the same. So he went on to say:

"That's right!" In retrospect, March 24, '88, was just as close as it was before his eyes. This year should be the fifth March 24th, right? "

The smile on Zi Peng's face infected her. She smiled and said:

"Brother's memory is really good. It's the 5th March 24th."

Zi Peng looked at Lixia's smiling face, which looked like two blooming red roses. He could not help but feel his blood boiling and his heartbeat quickening. He controlled his excitement and said seriously:

"Sister, I will come see you in a few days." If you come down, if you have time, come and see me. This way, we will miss less. It doesn't matter if you come to the village to see me. Because you're a villager, you're here to work for the clerk, they won't gossip. not like one

The old bitches of Team Seven, they have neither cultural knowledge nor morals. All day long, I've been eating my fill and talking about stuff everywhere. "

When she saw Zi Peng's happy smile, she was deeply influenced by it. She lowered her head and whispered:

"Brother, I will."
