As the sun shines on the winding country road, Mr. Zhang rides his creaking bicycle with a wooden box full of tools strapped to the back seat. He is a good hand at repairing electrical appliances, and there are no TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines in the village that he can't repair. Today, as usual, he provides services from house to house.
"Haibo, I'm here to help again!" Aunt Wang in the village greeted with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie, has your fan been fixed?" Zhang Haibo stopped the car and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's fixed, it's fixed, thanks to you!" Aunt Wang said gratefully.
Bidding farewell to Aunt Wang, Zhang Haibo continued to move forward. The summer heat made his mouth dry, and he licked his dry lips and looked around for water. Suddenly, a pear tree full of fruit on the side of the road caught his attention.
"This pear looks so sweet." Zhang Haibo muttered to himself, he looked around, confirmed that there was no one, and reached out to pick one.
"What are you doing!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded, Zhang Haibo was startled, and the pear in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He turned his head to see a girl in a floral dress standing not far away, looking at him angrily. Her eyes are bright and her skin is fair, and she is Li Mei, a famous beautiful girl in the village.
"I... I..."Zhang Haibo was speechless for a while, not knowing what to do.
"This is my pear tree, how can you pick it casually?" Li Mei stepped forward and crossed her waist and asked.
"I... I was thirsty and didn't think about it that much. Zhang Haibo lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Li Mei looked at his embarrassed look, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared. She sighed and said, "Forget it, it's just a pear, you can take it and eat it." But you have to promise me that you can't do it again. ”
Zhang Haibo was relieved and nodded again and again: "Thank you, Li Mei, I will definitely not be in the future." ”
Li Mei smiled slightly, turned around to leave, but stopped again: "By the way, my TV has had a problem recently, can you help me take a look?" ”
"Absolutely, it's my job." Zhang Haibo immediately agreed, and his good impression of Li Mei increased a little more.
The two walked to Li Mei's house together, Zhang Haibo pushed the bicycle, Li Mei walked beside him, and the shadows of the two gradually lengthened in the afterglow of the sunset.
Zhang Haibo followed Li Mei to her home, a simple and warm farmhouse courtyard. Li Mei led him into the house, pointed to the old TV and said, "That's it, the picture has been jumping all the time lately, and the sound has come and gone." ”
Zhang Haibo squatted down, opened the toolbox, and checked it carefully. His movements were skillful and meticulous, and it didn't take long to find the problem.
"It's a bad connection," he said, pointing to a cable in the back cover of the TV, "and I'll just help you reconnect it." ”
Li Mei squatted next to him, looked at his operation curiously, and asked, "Haibo, how long have you been repairing electrical appliances?" ”
"It's been a few years," Zhang Haibo replied busily, "I've loved tinkering with these things since I was a child." ”
Li Mei smiled and nodded: "No wonder you are so powerful." ”
After the repair, Zhang Haibo stood up and patted the dust on his hands: "Okay, you can try it." ”
Li Mei turned on the TV, the picture was clear, and the sound returned to normal. She said happily, "Thank you so much, Haibo. ”
Zhang Haibo waved his hand: "It's okay, this is what I should do." ”
Li Mei suddenly thought of something, picked up a few pears from the table, and handed them to Zhang Haibo: "This is my family's own planting, you can bring a few back, it should be regarded as a thank you." ”
Zhang Haibo was a little embarrassed: "How embarrassing is this, I stole your pears just now." ”
Li Mei smiled: "Then it's even, if you are thirsty in the future, just come to my house to get it." ”
Zhang Haibo took the pear gratefully, and his good impression of Li Mei added a little more to his heart. He decided that he must work harder in the future to make up for today's mistakes.
From that day on, Zhang Haibo and Li Mei's contact became frequent. Every time he went to the countryside, he would go around to Li Mei's house to see if her family's electrical appliances needed to be repaired. And Li Mei often finds opportunities to chat with Zhang Haibo, and the two gradually become good friends.
Li Mei's kindness and tolerance made Zhang Haibo have a deep affection for her. He began to look forward to every encounter, looking forward to talking to her and getting to know her better.
And Li Mei was also unconsciously moved by Zhang Haibo's honesty and diligence. She found that although the young man was a little clumsy, he was kind-hearted, conscientious, and a trustworthy man.
The relationship between the two slowly warmed up in contact again and again. Although they have not clearly expressed each other's hearts, that tacit understanding and care have gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary friends.
The relationship between Zhang Haibo and Li Mei gradually became close, but fate always seemed to like jokes. Once, when Zhang Haibo was helping Li Mei's family repair the washing machine, due to a moment of negligence, the circuit board of the washing machine was completely burned and the machine could no longer be started.
"Gee, what's going on?" Li Mei's father, Li Dajiang, saw this scene as soon as he entered the house, and his face immediately sank.
Zhang Haibo hurriedly stood up, his face full of apologies: "Uncle Jiang, it was me who was careless, I... I'll compensate. ”
Li Dajiang's brows tightened, he looked at the silent Li Mei, and then at Zhang Haibo, with reproach in his tone: "Haibo, you usually do things very carefully, why this time... This washing machine is a big item in the house, and you can't afford it casually. ”
Zhang Haibo lowered his head, his heart was full of guilt: "I know, Uncle Jiang, I... I'll figure it out. ”
Seeing this, Li Mei hurriedly played a round: "Dad, Hai Bo didn't mean it, besides, he helped our family so much before." ”
Li Dajiang sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to worry about your young people's affairs." Haibo, you can do it yourself. ”
Zhang Haibo's heart was heavy, and he knew that he had made a serious mistake. He not only caused Li Mei's family to suffer losses, but also greatly reduced his image in Li Dajiang's heart. He was determined to make amends, even if it was by exhausting all his savings.
Zhang Haibo's heart was full of guilt and determination, and he decided to make up for his mistakes no matter what. He returned home and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find all his savings, every penny he had saved over the years of hard work.
"Haibo, what are you doing here?" Zhang Haibo's mother looked puzzled when she saw him holding the money.
"Mom, I... I accidentally broke someone else's stuff, and I have to pay for it. Zhang Haibo lowered his head, his voice trembling a little.
Zhang's mother sighed, she knew her son and knew that he was a responsible person: "Go, remember, do things responsibly." ”
Zhang Haibo took the money and came to Li Mei's house again. When Li Mei saw the money in his hand, she immediately understood everything.
"Haibo, what are you—" Li Mei's voice was a little choked.
"Li Mei, this is all my savings, I know it's not enough, but I will work, and I will pay it off slowly." Zhang Haibo said firmly.
A hint of emotion flashed in Li Mei's eyes, she knew that Zhang Haibo was not rich, and this money meant something to him. She held Zhang Haibo's hand and said gently, "Haibo, you don't need to do this. I believe you, you didn't mean to. ”
Zhang Haibo shook his head: "No, I have to do this." This is my responsibility. ”
Li Mei's father, Li Dajiang, watched quietly from the side, and his eyes revealed a hint of approval. He stepped forward and patted Zhang Haibo on the shoulder: "Haibo, you are a man and responsible." You get the money back, the washing machine thing, we can solve it slowly. ”
Zhang Haibo was stunned, he didn't expect Li Dajiang to say this. He looked at Li Dajiang, his eyes full of gratitude: "Uncle Dajiang, thank you, I... I don't know what to say. ”
Li Mei held Zhang Haibo's hand tightly, her eyes were firm and affectionate: "Haibo, let's find a way and bear it together." ”
A warm current surged in Zhang Haibo's heart, and he glanced at Li Mei deeply and nodded. From that moment on, he knew that no matter what the future holds, he was no longer fighting alone.
This incident became a turning point in the relationship between the two, and the trust and dependence between them deepened. Zhang Haibo's honesty and responsibility, and Li Mei's understanding and support, made their relationship stronger and made them full of hope for the future.
With the passage of time, Zhang Haibo did not break his promise, and through unremitting efforts, he not only made progress in his work, but also gradually won the trust and respect of Li Dajiang with his own actions. He often helps the Li family in his spare time, whether it is repairing furniture or helping with farm work, he always does his best.
"Haibo, you're here again, come inside and drink water." When Li Dajiang saw Zhang Haibo, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Uncle Da Jiang, I'm free today, so I'll come over and see if there's anything I can help with." Zhang Haibo wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded with a smile.
Li Dajiang nodded, his eyes full of approval: "You kid, it's really good." I thought about it last time, and I blamed me for being too anxious. ”
Zhang Haibo waved his hand: "Uncle Da Jiang, I was too careless at that time, and I should be fully responsible." ”
Li Mei walked out of the house, holding a towel in her hand and handing it to Zhang Haibo: "Haibo, wipe your sweat." ”
Zhang Haibo took the towel and looked at Li Mei, his eyes full of gratitude: "Li Mei, thank you for always supporting me." ”
Li Mei smiled slightly: "We are a family, what do you say thank you or not." ”
Li Dajiang looked at the two of them, and his heart was full of emotion: "Haibo, I see the matter between you and Li Mei in my eyes and am happy in my heart." You are both good boys, and I support you. ”
Zhang Haibo excitedly shook Li Dajiang's hand: "Uncle Dajiang, thank you, I will definitely take good care of Li Mei." ”
Li Mei's face flushed, and she looked at Zhang Haibo, her eyes flashing with happiness.
Time flies like a white horse, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. Zhang Haibo and Li Mei put mooncakes and fruits under the pear tree together to celebrate this reunion festival.
"Haibo, look how round the moon is." Li Mei pointed to the bright moon in the sky, her eyes full of longing.
Zhang Haibo held Li Mei's hand and said affectionately: "Yes, just like our future, it will definitely become more and more complete." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of hope and longing for the future. Under the moonlight, they seem to be the happiest couple in the world under the pear tree.
