They met at the university. Study together, graduate together and find a job together. His hometown is in Sichuan, and his parents are illiterate farmers. She is from Shanghai, and her parents are entrepreneurs with higher education. She has a good family and a high eye. They objected to her being with him. Your daughter is a princess. How can you condescend to follow him? It's still so far away. Huanhuan is a stubborn girl. In her eyes, love is everything. What's the value of living without love? No matter how much I give you, I can't live.
After graduating from college, he didn't expect to have a good job with a monthly salary of 1000. In Shanghai, you can only eat and watch movies with your girlfriend besides eating. Thinking of college, two people were walking under the big buttonwood tree on campus, and the wind blew the big leaves off their shoulders. They volunteer in the society together and watch the sunrise early together. Whenever the sun rises slowly, she always says, look, the sun is really beautiful today.
There are many typhoons along the coast in August. Like many girls, Huanhuan is most afraid of thunder when it rains. At this time, he will cover her ears with his hand and then gently say to her, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side to protect you. At this time, Huanhuan is always in his arms, listening to the strong heartbeat and making all kinds of cute expressions with his mouth open. They look to the future. He said, after graduation, I will definitely let you be my wife. She smiled.
Huanhuan has been chained by her parents since graduation. They are firmly opposed to her association with Lele. She's very upset. Then there was a big fight, and she ran out of the house and vowed never to go back. She found him, and they rented a house outside and lived a dream life. Although life is bitter, it is very satisfying, because this is the home they really want.
Every day, she does what all housewives do. Get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. She can't let a man go to work on an empty stomach. Then go shopping to find a job. Go to the bookstore to find some cooking books in the afternoon. She thinks that women can rely on everything except cooking. For a man, it should be the best comfort to have a hot meal cooked by himself after a busy day outside.
At dusk. She went to the nearest supermarket to buy things and prepare dinner. About 20 minutes' walk, you will pass traffic lights, newsstands, hospitals, flower shops and kindergartens. You can also see beautiful cherry blossoms, and the pink petals scattered all over the place will make a crisp sound when you step on them. She remembered that there were cherry blossoms in the university. When the cherry blossoms are the worst, she will hold his hand and come to the tree. As long as the wind blows, the petals of trees dance with the wind like butterflies, as if holding a grand wedding for them. I can't help snickering at the thought.
The supermarket will arrive soon. Cross this Sakura Avenue and turn left for 20 meters, which is the entrance of the supermarket. She wants to know why it is so crowded every time she comes. She pushed the shopping cart with fresh milk, ribs, apples, bread, loofah ... and his favorite chicken wings and braised duck tongue. By the way, I bought a plate of refined asparagus. Carrying two heavy plastic bags, I called a taxi.
Play a song "Blue and White Porcelain" by Jay Chou. Classical elegance. Huanhuan turns on the MP3 player you carry with you. She is afraid of loneliness, so is working in the kitchen. Compare the recipes brought back from the bookstore and follow the above order carefully. She knows that he will be home around six o'clock, so she must do everything before he comes back. She didn't want him back. She is still very busy.
The long-simmered soup is pushing the lid up. She breathed a long sigh of relief, turned down the fire and put the asparagus she had just bought on the windowsill. There are nearly 10 kinds of green plants she raises, including aloe, cactus, mimosa, jasmine, chlorophytum and so on ... all ordinary flowers and plants. At this time every day, she will stand here, pick up the watering can and water the flowers. If the weather is fine, she can also enjoy the gorgeous sunset glow and the red and purple sky, dragging his long figure into the apartment door. Thinking of his magnetic voice and familiar smell, she smiled after a day's silence.
Two weeks later. She found a job. On his first day at work, he deliberately set the alarm clock forward one hour. Early in the morning, he photographed her sleeping position with DV. Her black hair was scattered on the pillow, her face was reddish, and her mouth murmured something, like an ignorant baby, twisting gently, and the saliva from her mouth wet a large pillow towel. He shook her body carefully. He said, slacker, you're going to be late. She opened her eyes and rubbed her lingering sleepiness with water. She said, what time is it? He said, see for yourself. She said loudly. She said, how did this happen? You didn't call me at eight o'clock. Seeing her panic, he secretly smiled. He said, fool, I set the alarm clock for an extra hour, which is still early. She hit him hard on the chest. She said, why are you so bad?
On Sunday, they decided to get up early. Although I have a lot of insomnia after work. At five o'clock in the morning, dragging their bodies half asleep and half awake, they came to the Huangpu River. There is a faint mist floating on the river, and a roaring sand dredger slowly passes by. He reached for her shoulder and let her lean on himself to catch up on her sleep.
The river fog cleared and the sky turned white. The first ray of sunshine shone on her face through the Oriental Pearl Tower, erasing all her drowsiness and fatigue. She broke away from him like a fish, waving her arms and jumping happily. She said, Le, look, how beautiful the sun is.
At this moment, he really wants to give her the promise of all the time. It is invisible for her to touch his things. Even at the end of my life, as long as I have her, it will be enough. He said, baby, I love you. She said, I love you, too. He stepped forward and kissed her gently on the forehead.
In an instant, three months passed. He was also promoted from an ordinary clerk to a department head. This morning, he had breakfast prepared by her. When he went out, he felt a little dizzy and almost lost his footing. She called him behind his back. He didn't know whether he heard it or not, and went downstairs in a daze. She said to herself, is it so urgent?
In the taxi, he tried to remember. It seems that she asked him to go home early at night to celebrate his promotion. He smiled slightly when he remembered that she didn't know what the surprise would be at night.
When I went downstairs, I found that people were still uncomfortable. Maybe he didn't rest. Well, he wants to. The company is on the 38th floor, where people work. There are many people, and the elevator is just a long corridor. He walked slowly in the corridor with his head down, and Xiao Wang of the company greeted him without looking up. There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator, and he squeezed in hard, although he was uncomfortable and a little out of breath. His eyes blurred when he stepped out of the elevator. He put his hands on the wall and tried to move. After a few steps, his head sank and he fell out.
Wake up in the hospital. There are fruits and flowers around. Huanhuan sat by the bed, holding his hand, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was wet with tears. He woke up with a sore nose. She said, awake, you finally woke up. He raised his hand to wipe away her tears. He said, fool, I'm fine. She said, I know, I know you will be fine.
He told her to open the curtains in the ward. It was dark outside, and a few sparks hung in the silent starry sky. One of them was bright and shining, as if peeking at them. He said, the doctor said what happened to me. She faltered and couldn't say a word. He said, is it serious? She said, no, no, you are too tired. You will be all right after two days' rest.
He looked into her eyes. He said, Huanhuan, don't lie to me. Tell me the truth.
She avoided his sharp eyes, looked down at her hands fiddling with skirts, and tears poured out unconsciously. She said, they said ... they said leukemia.
He resolutely stopped being hospitalized. No matter how much she begged him.
She asked for leave to take care of him at home. He said, you'd better go to work tomorrow I feel much better. She was silent.
The next day, she got up early Washing clothes, stewing ribs and cooking. After doing everything, she came to his bed, put a glass of milk and poached eggs on the bed and kissed his face. She said, I went to work and cooked my own food at noon.
He decided to go for a walk. Lying at home for so long turned pale.
Nanjing Road is the busiest street in Shanghai. He came here by taxi and watched the crowds and shops lined up. It feels so close and so far away. Maybe it's time to give up. He wandered in the strange stream of people. Passing by the door of Laofengxiang Gold Store, I hesitated.
An ordinary platinum ring. Put it in the palm of your hand, bright and simple.
Its back is exquisitely structured. The pattern is vivid, accompanied by two waves of waterline, the word Lao Fengxiang is engraved on the inside of the ring, and so is platinum PT950 logo. He knows what she likes, simple, smooth, elegant and vulgar.
Many times, a ring indicates the end of an era. It contains too many meanings. Although exquisite, few people will pay easily. He doesn't know whether to give it to her at this time.
Three days later. He resigned from the company. Simply, he set foot on the road home. He was afraid to tell her.
I haven't been home for a long time. I wonder if my parents can accept this cruel reality. On the train, he remembered that she was busy urinating early in the morning. He lay on the bed, motionless. He didn't sneak a look at her until she went to the bed and put breakfast beside him. Due to lack of sleep, her face is dark yellow and her eyebrows are locked. She hasn't laughed since his accident. He is very upset.
After she went to work, he found her finger and pen. He thinks he should have a lot to say.
He left without a word. There is so much to say that he knows he will never finish it in his life. He pressed the ring on the paper, and he knew she understood.
The train galloped through the rugged fields. After passing mountains, rivers, tunnels, villages, towns ..., that fleeting memory is very precious at this moment. He remembered watching cartoons as a child and trying to chew them in his head. He really wants the train to have no end. If it can run forever, it will be a never-ending scenery.
The mood of watching the scenery. I am not alone except for missing. He took the inter-provincial slow train, and even the toilet aisle was full of people. Some play cards, chat, sleep, knock melon seeds and read newspapers ... no one knows anyone, and of course no one will pay attention. There is another person who is comforted by their existence. Although they did nothing.
Huanhuan came home from work. The first thing I saw was the ring he put on the coffee table in the living room and a blank sheet of paper. She knew he didn't want to get himself involved. This fool, she cursed in her heart. Tears dripped on white paper and quickly melted away. She is like a Winnie the Pooh who has suffered a lot. At this moment, she only knows the tearful appeal.
A week later. She asked for leave from the company and embarked on a trip to the west with trepidation. She thought she would find him.
In her hometown in Sichuan, she met him with a thin face. His family still lives in that simple mud house, feeling smaller and more fragile than the tall buildings in the city. As soon as I entered the door, there was a pungent smell of herbs. He was surprised to see her. He knew she was a stubborn woman, but he didn't expect her to be so persistent. He said you shouldn't have come. She said, you don't know me. You think that if you leave, I will give up, forget you, or appreciate your greatness. You are wrong, I will hate you all my life. He was silent.
She said, let's go back to Shanghai. I will find a cure for your illness.
He smiled. He said, do you think it is ok? I drink herbs collected by my father every day. I know it's useless, but I still want to give them a comfort. Cheating, I don't want to give it to you anymore.
The scenery in the mountains is much more lively than that in the city, and there is a yearning for life everywhere. She said.
Behind Lele's house is a hill. She insists on watching the sunrise with him every day. He said, do you know what I am worried about now? She said, what? He said, these days, I stand alone on the top of this mountain every day. No matter how long I stay, I can only see a blank. She turned to look at him and saw a deep hole in his eye. Her heart could not help trembling. He went on to say that it was only because you disappeared.
She couldn't control herself any longer, and held him tightly with open arms, pulling more and more tightly. The morning sun shines on my face, feeling furry, like touching an imported mink coat, and my heart is warm. She said, Le, I like it here. I'm not leaving. His hand slowly slid down her hair, and he saw that her lips were blown apart by the wind, like a flower tottering in a storm, beautiful and fragile. She doesn't belong here. He said, you'd better go back to Shanghai, where you have your job and your relatives and friends. She said, I won't go back unless you come with me. Their tears are closely intertwined.
Time flies. Finally, he was too ill to get out of bed. Watching him lose weight day by day, he doesn't even have the strength to eat with his mouth open, and his body is skinny. She hated that her powerlessness could not be shared by him, and watched him get farther and farther away from herself. In order to let her leave himself, he refused to drink medicine and stopped talking to her. He knew that she was crying every night, and after the tears flowed, he gave him a rainbow smile. He felt remorse, contradiction and pain inside. He didn't want to see her pain when she lost him. He loves her, deeply.
The morning sun has not opened its eyes yet. She came to his bed. Today, he looks very special and his eyes are bright, giving people a healthy illusion. He said, you help me go for a walk in the back hill and get some sunshine. She said that the sun hasn't come out yet. When you feel better, I will go with you. He supported himself with his hands. He said, look, I'm fine. If I lie down again, I can't remember whether the sun is round or flat. She couldn't help laughing. He is still so humorous.
The low hills left him many footprints. She wrapped her coat tightly around him, knowing that he was afraid of the cold. He said that when I was a child, I used to dig birds' eggs and catch rabbits and squirrels on this mountain ... At that time, there was a rhubarb dog at home who followed me all the time, just like we do now. Every time I play with it, I'm black and blue. My mother scolded me when I came home, and my father scolded rhubarb dog. Do you find it funny?
She finally saw the smile in his eyes, as if she had gone back to the past. A hare flew past its feet and disappeared into the dense forest. He said, when I am ready, I will catch rabbits for you to eat. She felt a spasm in her heart. She said that there will definitely be opportunities.
The bluestone slab on the top of the mountain has been polished by wind and rain, becoming smooth and transparent, and crystal dew shines on it. He said, who do you think is happier? She said, of course it's me. He said, no, it's me. He paused, then said, there are many kinds of happiness, but for a person who has true love, I got sick, and I left with you to take care of me, leaving you alone to bear the greatest pain in the world. You say, who is happier, not me?
She was silent. She doesn't understand the vicissitudes and philosophy of love. All she knows is that when she met him, she learned how to cry.
She said, Le, shall I tell you a story? He nodded his head gently. She said that in Heilongjiang Province, there is a place called Zhalong, where a beautiful animal called red-crowned crane lives. This year, there are a pair of young red-crowned cranes. They became parents for the first time and had two children. The couple are very happy and excited. As children grow up, they teach cranes how to eat and fly. In a blink of an eye, autumn came. Many migratory birds have moved south for the winter and are going to fly south with their children. Unfortunately, just then, a small crane accidentally hit the high-voltage line and broke its wings. Anxious mother crane quickly stopped and tried to guide the little crane to fly into the blue sky again, but all failed. Seeing that autumn is getting closer and closer, couples who are reluctant to have children can only stay with Xiaohe every day and take turns to take care of them. Finally, autumn has come and gone, and winter has come. The river is frozen and the weather is very cold. They can't find food any more, and they are shivering with cold. When people found them, the little crane was already lying stiff in the snow, and the mother crane stood in the wind with her head drooping, dead. People came forward to help her and found that her body was very light and had exhausted all blood and nutrients.
After careful nursing, the rescued male crane gradually recovered his physical strength. When he was released into nature, people found him wandering every day, screaming for the death of his wife and children. At dusk, you will see him standing alone in the wind, pale and powerless. Although his life is still very long, he will only die alone until he dies.
Sunshine on the face with the taste of life is a luxury. She said, Le, look, the sun is really beautiful. Her hand stroked his thin face and let the light evaporate the pearl-like tears. She knew he was asleep.
She took the ring out of her trouser pocket and put it on her hand, watching it reflect dazzling light in the sun. She wants to tell him that no matter where he is, she will always be by his side, accompanying him through the scenery in the sun.
Butterflies in the sky chase and play, carefree and free. She lifted her pale face, closed her eyes and reached out to feel the fragrance of life with her skin.
Firm, punctual and pure, the only thing is the promise of nature. This is also their promise.
