"The Most Beautiful Love I Have Ever Seen"
Text/Xintan
When I got married, no relatives...including my parents were present to congratulate me.
No, no, no, I am not eloping. I have formally notified my parents and relatives and am willing to pay for their round-trip air tickets to attend my wedding. Moreover, if they feel the need, I'm not opposed to having a wedding back in the city where I grew up...
But they still didn't give their blessing to my marriage.
I don’t blame them. After all, neither my parents nor I are wrong. I have the right to choose a woman who I like but they don’t like to be my wife, and they have the right to refuse to admit that a woman I like is my wife. And they don't like women as their wives.
The Feng family, originally from Shanghai, later immigrated to South Africa to make a fortune in the diamond and jewelry business, and now has moved its headquarters to Switzerland. It has already established a huge jewelry kingdom overseas, and I, The youngest prince in this kingdom, the most loved and disappointed by his parents. He was admitted to Harvard University at the age of eighteen and graduated with a master's degree in economics at the age of twenty-three. After graduation, he never returned home to help his parents and three brothers manage me. There is no family business that I am completely uninterested in, but I followed my senior who I respected in college to Singapore and helped him manage the entire group as the only son in the family who had to take on the responsibility of the entire family business at the age of 25. Then, three years later, I accepted the trust of my seniors and came to a completely unfamiliar land to start from scratch. Ten years later, when I was thirty-six, I found my bride, an independent woman with warm and wise eyes. Her name was Hui, after Lan Xinhui. She was a lawyer, thirty years old. One year old, had a failed marriage and a smart and lively little son.
I love Hui, I love her not very beautiful but gentle and attractive appearance, I love her warm and mature charm flowing through her body, I love her smart and witty mind with great wisdom, I love that she is always independent and confident I also love her self-improvement character, her kindness in helping others with legal aid cases regardless of compensation, and even her abundant motherly love for taking good care of her little son...
My parents There are good reasons why they don’t like my Hui. They can’t stand her completely mainland Chinese background, they don’t like that she is a commoner without any family influence, and they can’t tolerate the fact that she is already thirty-one years old this year and is divorced and remarried with a child behind her. A woman whose child enters the Feng family. In their view, the most basic conditions that could match their youngest son were not enough.
In the eyes of my parents, their youngest son is an outstanding man who will not be inferior even if he matches the daughter of a famous family. Why should he give in to such a useless woman?
This is natural. My parents have never even met Hui. They have no way of understanding all the advantages of Hui and the unparalleled importance of Hui in my heart. But the most important thing is In fact, they don’t trust their youngest son’s vision in choosing a mate at all. In their opinion, their youngest son is still a little vain, a little exaggerated, a little arrogant, a little self-centered, and can only develop with girls when they are around them. Guys who are reliable and irresponsible in their sexual relationships and gaming relationships, they think that I will marry a thirty-one-year-old woman with children simply because I was fooled by that woman!
I have no way to explain to my parents how serious I am, and there is no way to convince them that I am no longer the vain me. They will say to me on the other end of the phone - Jiangshan Yi Gai Nature is hard to change. I really want to tell them that because of certain things, I have become a truly mature and responsible man, but I can’t explain it clearly on the phone because it is a too long story...
Because I once I have seen the most beautiful love in the world...
To tell this story, we have to push back the time ten years ago.
To this day, I still remember clearly what I saw when I was the person in charge of the construction of Zhaoheng Group’s production base in Hedingshan City, after a bumpy journey, motion sickness, vomiting, and bile vomiting. The shabby guest house that I arrived at. What impressed me most was not what I ate or drank or the quality of service in this guest house. It was when I had a hastily drank a bowl of porridge and prepared to go to bed and wanted to find the toilet first. That latrine densely packed with white maggots...
I remember that at that time, I was stunned for three minutes, and finally I didn’t dare to step into the sphere of influence of those maggots that made my scalp numb, so I ran away. This kind of psychological struggle continued until the cleanest toilet in the entire Hedingshan City was built in the production base.
This is a city with the most beautiful marble in the world buried in the mountains, but what was presented to me at that time was shocking... no, to be precise, it was shocking poverty.
Some farmers’ homes only have three earthen houses and one kang, and a family of seven and one daughter only have two pairs of pants. The eldest daughter, who is seventeen years old, has no pants to wear and can only lie on the bed; Some farmers have six children in their families, but none of the nine members of the family has graduated from elementary school. The person with the highest academic qualifications can only reach the third grade of elementary school and can barely write his own name; some farmers' families do not have enough food every year. In winter, people have to go out and walk long distances to escape famine, in order to beg for some food and money so that the family can have enough food to survive the lean winter and spring; some farmers have never eaten white flour steamed buns or seen five yuan in their lives. What does a ten-yuan RMB look like... I still remember the surprise in the eyes of the first batch of workers recruited in Hedingshan City when the production base started to officially operate. They could eat white flour steamed buns and white flour noodles in the cafeteria. I was trembling with new money when I received a monthly salary of tens of yuan...
But the spirit of the farmers here is not numb. In fact, what gave me confidence in the first place was a farm meeting. At the wedding, I saw the bride wearing a brand-new red cotton-padded jacket and the groom wearing a blue cloth jacket, both wearing big red flowers on their chests, shyly lowering their heads to accept the cheers and play of the villagers, and setting off loud firecrackers. , the dining table is rarely oily and watery, people are laughing and playing, and the pairs of black eyes that sparkle with vitality and joy shine in the sun... Poverty cannot eliminate their hope and yearning for life and the future.
As long as the people have not lost hope, no matter what the current situation is, it will not be too terrible.
What's more, Hedingshan City was lucky enough to have a mayor named Wei Yetan.
The first time I met Wei Yetan was in a poor village by the Xiangjiang River. Even a foreigner like me, who had been exploring everywhere in Hedingshan City for a few days, already knew that if If in my eyes Hedingshan City and even the city government are dilapidated, then this small village called Yangjiajiao Village is also extremely poor in the eyes of the locals in Hedingshan City. But I remember that in On that evening when the sky was covered with sunset, Wei Yetan, dressed in a light gray tunic suit, walked into a thatched hut made of mud and thatch with a bag of corn noodles on his back.
I later learned that it was the home of a childless old lady in Yangjiajiao Village. Wei Yetan took care of her for six years until her death.
Later, as the person in charge of Zhaoheng Group in Hedingshan City, it was natural that Wei Yetan and I became familiar with each other. When we first met, what worried him most was the tight financial situation of the city. How tense is the situation? The mayor, who is dignified, can't spare any spare money to renovate primary and secondary schools, pay salaries to public teachers, and preferably give some subsidies to private teachers, and... that's what he can't even think about. I dare not even think about it - build a few decent roads in Hedingshan City that can handle heavy trucks!
While listening to what he said occasionally, I couldn't help but want to tell him - in fact, Zhaoheng Group originally planned to invest in building roads here, but I finally resisted and did not say it. After all, I'm just the person in charge of a production base, and the president is coming soon. I can ask the president Shu Zixin to make a decision, but I can't make random promises.
The road construction was completed very quickly. On the sixth day after arriving in Hedingshan City, my senior and now my boss Shu Zixin readily agreed to fund the road construction, and, Later, they also agreed to allocate funds from Zhaoheng Group's charitable fixed expenses to improve the teaching conditions of rural primary schools here.
My senior, Shu Zixin, is also the chairman and president of Zhaoheng Group. He is a very capable, courageous and friendly person who can clearly distinguish between public and private affairs. He has indeed been helping people in need. He is never stingy when it comes to helping people, but this time his reaction made me feel strange. He seemed... very eager? So eager... I couldn't help but murmur in my heart...
But Shu Zixin left quickly. He is a busy man, and I also have countless things to deal with in Hedingshan City. , so, soon, I forgot about my little murmuring.
(Chinese)
However, within a few months, a chance encounter with Wei Yetan in the post office made me suspicious again. There was a ** in Hedingshan City. *There is only one post office. When you go to the post office to fill out parcel forms, pick up letters and send telegrams, you will always meet a few acquaintances. In addition, Wei Yetan and I were already very familiar with each other at that time, so we couldn’t help but smile at the sight of holding a big package. As he was about to walk out of the post office, he took a few more glances from a distance. To be precise, he took a few more glances at the package, because I had long heard that Wei Yetan did not have any relatives in China. Seeing him smile so brightly So satisfied and happy, I thought it was a loving gift from his girlfriend.
At first glance, I was surprised. The package had all the stamps and marks from the post office, the name and address of the recipient filled in, the single handwriting, the iron painting and the silver hook. It is extremely powerful, and it is clearly the handwriting of Shu Zixin, who is very familiar to me. It is not that I am good at calligraphy. In fact, there are very few people in overseas Chinese circles who can write as well as Shu Zixin, so I am particularly impressed.
Is Shu Zixin sending a package to Wei Yetan? It was really far away, and I was embarrassed to get closer and take the package from Wei Yetan's hand to look at it carefully, but my intuition told me that this matter was definitely unusual. Maybe, this was not actually an intuition. In fact, I had never experienced it before. I have seen Wei Yetan like that. You know, although he is a few years older than me, and he is quite handsome, but maybe because he is the mayor of a city, I always see him with a cold face and dark eyes. With a calm and solemn look, I never knew that he could also show such a smile of pure joy and heartfelt joy, as happy as a child who got his most beloved gift...
I am very happy. I wanted to go up to say hello to Wei Yetan and inquire about the origin of this package, but the moment I passed by, I gave up the idea. Regardless of whether it was Shu Zixin who was really sending something to Wei Yetan, it still didn't matter. It's a private matter between the two of them. It doesn't seem like a good habit to be so curious as to inquire about other people's private affairs.
This incident left a doubt in my heart. However, I did not mention my doubts to anyone. I only suddenly remembered this time when I met Wei Yetan occasionally. I was secretly curious as to why Shu Zixin would personally seal a package and send it to him like that. What do you think, people like Shu Zixin and people like Wei Yetan... they shouldn't have any intersection in personal relationships. Right...
I was wrong, very wrong, but I didn't know it at the time.
I am a slow person, so I really discovered the strangeness late one night. At that time, I was already lying in bed having a good dream, and the sudden ringing of the phone made me really eat. Startled, he answered the phone drowsily. The voice on the other end of the phone was Shu Zixin's anxious voice -
"Find me a good chef, right away!"
I was shocked by his anxiety, so without asking any questions, I got dressed and got out of bed, and obediently helped him find a chef who was honest and responsible and could cook the dishes well... I later found out that he was not Instead of looking for a chef, he wanted to find a chef and housekeeper to help him take care of Wei Yetan, who he couldn't usually take care of.
So I knew that something important was happening quietly. Strangely, I was not surprised or disgusted at all, although I once thought that people like Shu Zixin and people like Wei Yetan people, they should not interact in personal relationships. However, looking at a clump of fiery red azaleas blooming quietly in the morning light on the windowsill, who can stop a flower from blooming?
When he said this, we were sitting face to face in the room. I remember clearly that the sun was very bright that day. When Shu Zixin spoke, his expression was solemn as I had never seen before, "Please Take care of him for me!" He only said these six words. He didn't explain who "he" was, and I didn't ask. Some things didn't need to be explained.
I never thought that Shu Zixin would fall in love with Wei Yetan.
Just like I never thought that I would receive a female lawyer with water dripping from her hair on a drizzly afternoon, and I would still be hopelessly in love after listening to her impassioned speech. Fuck her.
Yes, you never know when love will come, nor who it will come with, but as long as you embrace it wholeheartedly, it will give you full happiness and joy.
Yes, love is so joyful.
Although Wei Yetan's happiness is deeply hidden, he only occasionally looks into the distance with a faint smile when he thinks no one is paying attention to him; he seems to inadvertently ask about Shu Zi in front of me. Xin, nothing important, but the frequency of asking about him is as high as twice a month; I often see him holding packages or airmail envelopes in front of the post office. I really wonder why the huge city of Hedingshan has so many people. Didn't anyone with sharp eyes see the blush behind his ears? He once complained to me that the canned cat that Shu Zixin asked me to give to the chubby cat made the cat look at the door longingly every day and refused to eat the ordinary cat food at home. There was a hint of complaint in his tone. Although he was angry, he was extremely happy. By the way, Shu Zixin later made a special trip to check in two boxes of canned cats, so the already strong cat was completely raised into a Hedingshan cat that could rival Garfield. The city's fattest cat (who happens to have the same color and pattern as Garfield).
So, when Shu Zixin was still worried about revealing his uneasiness about the outcome of his unrequited love on the phone, I already knew that his love would not go unrewarded. Because I clearly saw that invisible but real thread of love, going around and around, across the ocean, stretching thousands of miles, firmly holding the hearts of two people.
But I still occasionally think about it, can the love between two proud and outstanding mature men who are so far away and almost entirely dependent on communication tools and have learned to hide themselves really be able to achieve success?
The test came soon. One morning very accidentally, I heard a piece of news that I don’t know where it came from. It seemed to be from the director of the Finance Bureau named Zheng? When he said this, his tone was full of envy and jealousy, "Don't you know? Our Mayor Wei is going on a blind date with the precious daughter of Minister Yang of the Provincial Organization Department. Oh, speaking of which, being young and handsome has its advantages, I said Why is Mayor Wei delaying getting married until he is almost thirty-five? His relationship is waiting to catch a big fish... Hahaha, I just said it casually, just forget it, Manager Feng, but don't take it seriously, let's talk It's just a joke, maybe Mayor Wei is too high-minded to look down on Minister Yang's daughter?"
Although Director Zheng said this, I think he is smiling but not smiling. There was no hint of "maybe" in his appearance. It was clearly certain that Wei Yetan would definitely marry that Miss Yang, but he... was completely dissatisfied with the marriage.
I can’t help but start to worry that there are very few people in mainland China like Wei Yetan who have reached the rank of division-level cadre but are still unmarried at the age of thirty-three. In a sense, , here, whether or not to get married is almost the dividing line between maturity and immaturity in the eyes of the world, not to mention, this is another blind date that can bring benefits to his career. No matter how you look at it, I feel that Wei Yetan is very Maybe they go on a blind date, get married, and live a so-called "normal" life from then on.
(Part 2)
However, for a long time, there was no news about Wei Yetan's blind date.
A long time later, when I met Director Zheng again, I "inadvertently" inquired about the follow-up of Mayor Wei's blind date incident, and the answer I received was, "Well, it didn't work out, didn't it? ”
Things passed by so lightly. I did not report this matter to Shu Zixin.
I couldn’t bear to add insult to injury to Shu Zixin’s already depressed mood.
In Hedingshan City, everyone from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Office to the salespersons in small department stores knows that there is an almost quarrel between the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Changming and the Mayor Wei Yetan. It was a life-and-death confrontation. I knew about this confrontation, but I didn't tell Shu Zixin. I thought that this matter had nothing to do with Shu Zixin, and that it was just a struggle between officials within the government. I really didn't expect that this kind of struggle could also involve Shu Zixin.
But that was a pan-politicized era, and the scope of political issues could be infinitely expanded.
When I received a long-distance call from Shu Zixin and heard him yelling at me on the other end of the phone, I was really confused. I didn’t know whether what I did was right or wrong. , maybe I really should report everything I saw about Wei Yetan to Shu Zixin in detail, but, I think, if I really do this, I'm afraid Shu Zixin won't be able to stay in Singapore for a minute. Go down.
Can I tell him how Wei Yetan wore long rubber boots and stepped into the ice-covered mud to hold a meeting for spring sowing? How to get more project funds for Hedingshan City and go to the Provincial Planning Commission and Prefectural Committee again and again to encounter problems; how to use one's meager salary to buy food and send it to emergency relief for those lonely old people who are too poor to take the blame; how to A rare fire broke out at a highway construction site. The person in charge of the site who deducted food money from the workers was fired on the spot. This completely offended Liu Changming. The person in charge was Liu Changming's nephew; how he was working tirelessly to put out fires throughout Hedingshan City. , because everyone from top to bottom belongs to Liu Changming and can only do everything by himself.
This young, handsome mayor with Puritan-like ethics and literati elegance, his slim and tall figure who always stands straight no matter how tired he is, in my eyes, slowly became more and more like that famous mayor. The knights who devoted themselves to challenging the windmill overlapped.
In the story, the knight banged his head and was bleeding again and again. Could I tell Shu Zixin that the person he loved so much was now being banged on his head and bleeding again and again in front of reality? Moreover, what was even worse than that knight was that Wei Yetan, who had suffered a bloody head injury, had now lost most of his freedom.
But obviously I don’t need to say anything more. The day after the roar, Shu Zixin had already rushed to Hedingshan City, and at the same time, the reality that caused Wei Yetan to hit his head and bleed. However, there were also changes that no one had expected in advance. The illustrious authority of Liu Changming's Liu Family in Hedingshan City seemed to have disappeared overnight. The strong voice from the hearts of tens of thousands of people was enough to turn things around.
I have never seen the hearts of the people so truly, and I know how powerful Wei Yetan, this knight who seems to be alone to challenge the windmill, actually has behind him.
Everything went smoothly. Wei Yetan soon gained his freedom and was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Hedingshan Municipal Party Committee in a short period of time. I listened to the loudspeakers announcing the news and the sound of firecrackers that resounded throughout Hedingshan like the Chinese New Year. Unconsciously, , showing a smile...
I don’t know if Wei Yetan knows what role Shu Zixin played in his incident, but what does it matter if he knows? Love will make a person willing to give, but it does not have to be a lot to confirm the love between each other.
What follows is a legendary heroic rescue of a beauty, an event that is extremely incredible. At least after listening to the whole process, I can only suspect that there must be something between the two people that I cannot understand and cannot understand. Understanding the mysterious telepathy, and, I'm sure, both of them must have felt that the injury was well worth it.
Because I have never seen a person who was injured by gangsters and was hospitalized with bandages on his hands and head can be as happy as Wei Yetan, although he always has a cold face and dark eyes. There is always a light that is so quiet and stern. His happiness is like a river flowing under the thick ice in winter. Although it is difficult for people to detect, it does flow so happily beyond the scope of human vision.
Because I have never seen such a happy Shu Zixin. Although he also left Hedingshan City with bandages, his joy and joy filled the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. Happiness, the kind of pride and pride that I wish I could ask about and wish to announce to the whole world, the kind of tone that can’t help but rise even when talking about something irrelevant...
Love , it turns out that it can be so beautiful...
Really, from that time on, I really discovered that love can be so pure, so detached, so non-utilitarian, stripped of identity and status. All the differences between genders only leave two noble souls attracted to each other... What an enviable and jealous feeling...
Tomorrow is my wedding day, standing in front of a smooth-lined building in Shanghai On the top floor, I stared at the lights of thousands of houses outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. This year is 1996, and the beautiful love I witnessed with my own eyes still continues quietly... Although they will have to wait until four years later to have my luck tomorrow. At this thought, I I couldn't help but dial a familiar number -
"Hui, I love you,"
"Ah?... I love you too, why are you so suddenly Say?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that I am really happy, and thank you!"
