Gangdan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Baoyu, I won't tell you, I often think so, but when I'm alone, I still can't help but think about her."

Wang Baoyu thought about it, but still didn't tell him about Honghong's affairs in the city, Gangdan is a straight person, if he knew the news of Honghong, he might really go to Honghong on impulse, if he saw Honghong being beaten, maybe he would find that Xiaojian desperately, and then make trouble, it would not be worth it.

Looking at the infatuated look of Gangdan, Wang Baoyu couldn't bear to let him down completely, and comforted him: "Gangdan, people look at fate between people, and the so-called feng shui takes turns, maybe it will turn you and Honghong together." ”

"Baoyu, you are a little fairy, I believe your words." Hearing Wang Baoyu say this, Gangdan's face showed hope for the future again.

"Hmmm! Hurry up and do it now! Wang Baoyu said, but there was a sigh in his heart, lamenting that between the steel egg and Honghong, the love was so bad, and now he hoped that the two of them could finally become married.

"I heard my parents say that Meifeng is here, why didn't she come?" Wang Baoyu didn't say anything about sneaking into Meifeng's home, and pretended not to know and asked Gangdan.

"She's lying! There is a guest at home, and she accompanies her! Steel Egg said without concealment.

"It's a guest, why don't you say something, let's entertain people too!" Wang Baoyu said with a little complaint.

"Hey, hey! It's not an important guest, it's a distant aunt who lives in the next Yunji Village. Gangdan said with a smile, "After my parents died, these relatives never came once, isn't it because the family is poor and afraid of touching them?" Now I don't know where I heard that our life is good, and I came to climb relatives again, I have a straight temperament and don't want to pay attention to her. ”

Oh! Wang Baoyu answered, knowing who Meifeng was receiving, and the doubts in his heart were dispelled. After chatting with Steel Egg casually, checking the situation of the strain, he went home and went to sleep with a relaxed pace.

In the next few days, Wang Baoyu refused the invitation of Ma Shunxi and other village cadres, except for going to the grave of his father Wang Wangshan with his godfather in the middle, there was nothing else, he chatted with his godfather and godmother at home, and then read and slept in Youzai, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve came, and the people in Dongfeng Village who remembered Wang Baoyu's kindness still used their way to send worthless grain and special products to their families, Jia Zhengdao and Lin Zhaodi were very happy, and accepted them one by one, their faces full of pride.

On the thirtieth night, according to the custom, the family still sat down to eat together, and of course Gangdan and Meifeng also had to be present. Today's Qian Meifeng seems to have deliberately dressed up, wiped some valuable cosmetics on her face, and put on beautiful clothes, she looks more smelly than the girls in the city.

Wang Baoyu looked happy, but she was a little ashamed in her heart, she went to the city, and she didn't think about bringing some decent clothes back for Meifeng, but she spent a lot of money on Cheng Xueman, and she did a little too much.

Thinking of these, Wang Baoyu was extremely gentle with Qian Meifeng, and from time to time she gave Qian Meifeng vegetables, and Qian Meifeng also ate them all happily. During the banquet, Wang Baoyu also took the initiative to tell some hilarious jokes, and for a while, the dinner table was full of the warmth and happiness of the New Year.

It's the New Year, drinking is indispensable, Jia Zhengdao and Gangdan kept clinking glasses, and they drank a lot, but Wang Baoyu didn't drink a few sips, mainly because Qian Meifeng blocked him to drink less, saying that drinking too much is not good for his health, Wang Baoyu felt that Meifeng still felt sorry for him, so he obeyed her wishes.

Qian Meifeng seemed very happy today, laughing non-stop, serving this dish for a while, and pouring wine for the other time, and she was very busy. But Wang Baoyu felt that Qian Meifeng was a little abnormal, and always felt that her smile had a sad taste, and her eyes were always moist.

"Meifeng, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Wang Baoyu asked with concern.

Qian Meifeng stuck out her tongue at Wang Baoyu and said, "I'm not the eldest lady, why am I so squeamish." It's just that you and the steel egg smoke too fiercely, and the smoke makes my eyes cry all the time, and it hurts! ”

"Hehe, I'll blow it to you later." Wang Baoyu said with a hippie smile, if there is no Cheng Xueman, living with Qian Meifeng is very pure.

Qian Meifeng grinned, secretly kicked Wang Baoyu and said, "Wait, give you a chance!" ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, Qian Meifeng said that she wanted to go back, and offered to let Wang Baoyu send her, of course Wang Baoyu would not refuse, and in the past few days when she came back, she had never been alone with Meifeng, which made his heart somewhat empty.

The two of them were still walking slowly along the familiar embankment, and a few firecrackers exploded or a few beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky above the village.

"Baoyu, have you missed me these days?" Qian Meifeng took Wang Baoyu's arm and lowered her head and asked.

"Why don't you want to! Meifeng, you've lost weight recently, so you still have to eat more. Wang Baoyu said with great concern.

"I used to be a little fat, but now I'm much better! Isn't it about to catch up with the beauties in the city? Qian Meifeng glanced at Wang Baoyu and said meaningfully.

"Hey, hey! No one is as beautiful as me, I like you plump. Wang Baoyu said with a wicked smile, stretched out his hand and hugged Qian Meifeng's waist, and Qian Meifeng also hugged Wang Baoyu's waist, and the two of them seemed very close.

As she walked, Qian Meifeng stopped, removed the smile on her face, and asked with a hint of grievance, "Baoyu, have you ever liked me?" Even a little? ”

Wang Baoyu was stunned, he didn't expect Qian Meifeng to ask this question, he thought about it, and said with a dry smile: "Meifeng, why do you think so much!" We grew up in the same village, and we all know each other, don't we? ”

At this time, the cold wind blew away a wisp of green silk on Qian Meifeng's sideburns, Qian Meifeng's face looked a little pale in the night, and she said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Baoyu, I know, from the beginning I was wishful thinking. We've come to this day, and I'm no longer worthy of you. ”

Looking at Qian Meifeng, who was a little haggard, Wang Baoyu's heart suddenly hurt violently, he lovingly sorted out the wisps of hair for Qian Meifeng, and said sincerely: "Silly Nizi, if I don't have any feelings for you, how can I get along with you for so long?" I like you, and so do my parents. ”

"I mean love, Baoyu, have you ever loved me?" Qian Meifeng still asked, but her eyes had lost their brilliance, and even her breath had become very fragile, and her slightly thin body seemed to be very tired, as if she was about to fall.
