Lin Xia and Marco have both introduced that there is an open-air market in the old city every weekend. Yin Jie walked over after finishing his freshening up in the morning.

The market is bustling with activity. Yin Jie bought a vegetable leaf roll for breakfast in front of an uncle's stall. It is a snack made with a cream dough wrapped in beet leaves, wrapped in diced sausages, creamy and meaty, soft and chewy. Locals love the snack, but it's a little fatty for Yin Jie's Chinese stomach. After eating two rolls, Yin Jie was so satisfied that he should not think about lunch at all.

Three old men dressed in national costumes formed a small wind band, which had just finished tuning and started playing. Although every musician is white-bearded, white-haired and red-faced, when they play the instrument, they are full of neutrality, and as soon as the voice comes out, it is so loud that Yin Jie is taken aback. Yin Jie, who likes to be clean, finished eating the vegetable leaf rolls as quickly as possible in his life, and quickly paid for a chocolate ice cream and fled. I came to the lake before stopping.

She leisurely scraped off a layer of ice cream with a small wooden spoon and put it in her mouth, slowly savoring the rich and silky chocolate, listening to the wind orchestra from afar.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon in the imperial capital now. Is my husband at home today?

Suddenly, she realized that someone was watching her. When he turned his head, he looked like a middle-aged man, looking like a Chinese, but his face was very depressed.

Yin Jie smiled at him. The other party also gave an ugly smile back.

Yin Jie walked up to him and asked in English, "Are you Chinese?"

The man was a little surprised, and then politely stretched out his hand: "Yes." Miss, are you too?"

Seeing Yin Jie nodding, the man switched to Mandarin with a little joy and said, "I didn't expect to meet people from my hometown in a foreign land." “

Yin Jie was a little awkward when he heard this, and asked, "You travel to country S?"

"yes. The man replied, "I have come here to fulfill a dream and a wish." ”

Yin Jie nodded: "Just by yourself, didn't your wife come along?"

The man clenched his chest sharply, a look of pain on his face. Liang Jiu relieved himself and said softly, "My wife passed away a few months ago. ”

Yin Jie had already guessed the man's movements, and she said regretfully, "I'm sorry for accidentally mentioning your sadness." Please also mourn and be happy. ”

The man grinned again, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, it's okay now." I'll tell you about us, you won't mind, will you?"

Yin Jie is a little embarrassed, she doesn't like trouble by nature, and she doesn't like to intervene in other people's private affairs.

"You just listen to it as a story, after she died, all my relatives and friends told me not to hold it back, but I didn't want to say anything about it. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to talk about it today. Meeting compatriots in a foreign land.... I think it would be a tribute to a compatriot whom I didn't know about us. ”

Yin Jie felt a sour feeling in his heart, and nodded involuntarily.

The man said he and his wife were classmates from college. He is from the computer science department and his wife is from the biology department, but they both live in the same garden and can still meet occasionally.

"She's one level below me. The first time I really noticed her was on the cherry blossom avenue downstairs in our dorm. I came back from a fellow countryman and met her. It wasn't yet the opening day, and the cherry blossoms weren't blooming, but there were already cherry blossoms and many, many buds. She was wearing a powder blue coat, holding a book in her hand, looking up at an Yae cherry tree with pink flowers, her long black hair was like satin, her skin was white, and her smile was so beautiful!"

Hearing this, Yin Jie had already confirmed the guess in his heart. But she didn't interject and listened to the man continue.

Later, I always involuntarily ran into her, and slowly found out that she was also the announcer of the school radio station. He grinned at the corners of his mouth and said with nostalgia: "I found the second child in the dormitory next door, he is the head of the school radio station, and asked him to help pull the line." ”

"The day she agreed to my date, it was already the end of June, and the school was about to end the summer vacation. Neither of us is a native of Wuhan, and she has to go back to her hometown after the holidays. At that time, a few classmates and I were planning to set up a technology company, and we would stay in Wuhan during the summer vacation to be busy with the company's affairs. You know, I cherish the time before she goes home, I can't wait to be with her every day, to see her all the time. finally held hands once, and my heart was so happy that I was almost about to go to heaven. He laughed happily. Yin Jie also smiled, the love in the green period of the campus will always be so beautiful.

The man went on to say that his family was average, and after graduation, he gave up the assigned job to start his own business, and none of his family agreed, so he did not receive any financial support. It was that girl, with her own savings, gave up the job arranged by her parents, and returned to Wuhan alone to accompany him and several brothers to start a business together. They went through a very difficult time. The cost of living was on the verge of being exhausted at any time, and the girl bought a bunch of dried noodles and rice, and went to the wholesale market every day to bargain with the vegetable market aunt to buy the cheapest and most storable vegetables, and when she returned home, she changed her way to make the dishes delicious and make them happy. After almost three years of these difficult days, their R&D results were finally favored by an alumni investor, who received their first investment and started their career on the right track.

"I told her that after a while, we would try to get through the difficult stages of growing up and I would have time to travel with her. ”

As a result, after one difficulty after another, he has never been able to relax. He and his team have always been working hard, busy with product research and development, product sales, product line expansion, financing, listing... In this way, day after day, year after year, he was not able to accompany his lover to the mountains and rivers.

She always gently encouraged him when he was sleepy and low, prepared a stomach-warming soup for him who returned late, and prepared a sobering tea for him who participated in the wine party. She always takes care of everything in the house, and has a comfortable home ready for him to return and rest.

The development of the career always faces various difficulties. After the company broke through all obstacles and finally went public on the NASDAQ, he became more and more energetic as the company grew from a rising tech star to an industry giant. Government awards, financial support, industry recognition, and all kinds of praise have come one after another.

But at this time, he found that his wife was getting thinner and weaker. Despite her objections, the man personally sent his wife to the hospital for examination, only to find that she had advanced breast cancer.

He grabbed his hair with both hands and let out a beastly roar: "Breast cancer! It's breast cancer! She worked too hard all those years, and we got the first investment to let her go home to recuperate." I don't approve of her going out to find a job because I don't want her to be wronged by others again. But I didn't expect it at all... It turned out that it was my neglect that made her suffer so much but she still couldn't say it!I always took her tenderness for granted but didn't really think about her!I don't know at all! I don't know...," he buried his head between his arms and sobbed violently.

Yin Jie hesitated for a moment and gently stroked his back. His subordinates' bodies froze suddenly.

Yin Jie said softly: "I don't know what your name is, the two of us are two people who are completely strangers. But I thought you might want to hear what I think?"

The man sobbed "um", still holding his head in his hands.

"I'm a woman, and I really feel the same way to hear what you just said. If I'm not mistaken, I think your wife is happy. ”

The man raised his head sharply and looked at Yin Jie with red eyes.

"Many of my relatives are doctors, so I know a little bit about medical care. As far as I know, the incidence of breast cancer in women gradually increases after the age of 25. There are many causes of this disease, which may be genetic, may be related to the first pregnancy, may be caused by other diseases, or may be a viral infection...... In conclusion, not all breast cancers are caused by depression and depression. Besides, even if your wife is depressed, how do you know it's because of you? Has your wife ever complained to anyone else that you often come home late or something?"

The man shook his head.

"So I said it might not be your reason. If what you just described is true, then I think she should be very happy. She once resolutely resigned from her lucrative job to work hard in Wuhan to accompany you, leaving behind the reserve of college students and bargaining with the aunt of the vegetable field, and silently accompanied you through such difficult years without leaving... I have to say, your wife is a big picture. She can do it all because she has faith in you. So she doesn't complain, just gently creates a warm home for you. If you haven't done anything to be sorry for her or hurt her, I don't think you need to hesitate at all, she won't be depressed because of your late arrival! Because no one understands you better than her, and she knows what you're fighting for. Even if she was dissatisfied, she would bring it up to you, right?"

The man shook his head and nodded, thinking about it:

"Of course I've never done anything to be sorry for her, I'd rather hurt myself than hurt her! She advised me to drink less for fear of hurting myself. Really didn't really complain about coming home too late. It's because of her sister, I thought it was my fault..."

"Well, even if she's really depressed, I don't think it's your fault. Yin Jie affirmed, "You have to believe that she understands your feelings for her." ”

The man's eyes couldn't stop crying, and he hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe it off. Ban Yan said to Yin Jie:

"Thank you for your explanation. When I return to China, I will carefully investigate the cause of her illness. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and then overflowed with sadness, "My wife's greatest wish is to travel the world. I couldn't accompany her to achieve it when she was alive, and now I will take her to experience it country by country. He caressed his chest with his right hand. Yin Jie guessed that there might be a token belonging to this wife.

Yin Jie said: "Then I wish you a smooth journey." ”

The ice cream in her hand had completely turned into juice, and she raised her glass to sip it slowly, especially with some unwilling looks.

The man smiled, the gloom on his face gradually dissipating. Yin Jie found that although this man was a little haggard, he actually looked really good.

He said to Yin Jie, "I want to invite you to eat another ice cream." Can you enjoy the light?"

Yin Jie mentally calculated the calories of an ice cream. After a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the one opened by the locals." ”
