Liu Yansheng, a native of the mainland, has a wife Qiao Yu'e, if it were in peacetime, their family would be the most ordinary family.

However, it is a pity that I was unlucky, I was born in a war-torn world, and I had no choice but to abandon what I had been doing and join the army, the army of the Kuomintang.

followed the Kuomintang, fought all the way and lost all the way, from north to south, and finally had no way to retreat from the magic capital at that time, so he was coerced and boarded on the ship to Taiwan Island.

He actually didn't want to leave, because of his wife and son, yes, at that time, his wife Qiao Yu'e was already pregnant.

Only soldiers could leave, so the wife and children were left on the shore, and the family was separated.

In that era, although the Modu Island was only separated by a sea, it seemed to be separated by a moat, whether it was him on the shore or her on the shore, at the beginning, they were still thinking about each other, looking forward to meeting again one day, however, as time went by, the chance of reunion became more and more slim, and that miss was also consumed little by little with time.

Finally, he regained his own life, his new wife was virtuous and lovely, with the unique gentleness of a Taiwanese woman, and gradually, he forgot about her on the other side of the sea, and lived a peaceful life with the new her.

Time can kill thoughts, but it can also consume life.

They grew old together, but they didn't leave together, and she walked ahead of him.

Liu Yansheng was very sad, for his deceased wife, and for himself who was also old.

He looked at her old and quiet face, and the memories came to his mind little by little, those memories, there were him and hers, and, he and hers, her on the other side of the sea.

The things of the present can't stand pondering, and the things of the past can't stand up to memories.

In this way, Liu Yansheng's thoughts about Qiao Yu'e suddenly became blazing again after a gap of several decades.

At this time, the blockade between the two sides of the strait has long ceased to be as tight as it once was.

So, under the influence of the ruthlessness of the peasant's roots, he sent her a letter in which he said parting and longing, and he himself got on the steamer back to the mainland.

The return of anti-Japanese war veterans to China was not a trivial matter at that time, and in order to welcome him, the neighborhood committee actually made a small band.

Then, in the sound of the drum and trumpet, and in the midst of countless curious eyes, he saw again, and saw ...... hers him.

Yes, after more than 30 years of separation, Liu Yansheng has her own new life, and Qiao Yu'e is the same here, she found a husband named Lu Shanmin.

Lu Shanmin is also a soldier, a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, a simple and good man.

Over the years, he has been very good to her, and he has also been very good to Liu Yansheng's son, and the two have their own children, and the children have children, and they have a big family.

Because of his arrival, the family gathered together and sat at the dinner table, and the owner who had been at the dinner table was now a guest, and he stood there with a wine glass, feeling strange and emotional, and spoke like this.

The first sentence of "I, Liu Yansheng", introduced myself, yes, half of the people at this table who should have been his family introduced themselves.

"This time, I followed the Taiwan Island veterans to return to the magic capital, I am very excited, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, for decades. ”

What are you waiting for? Homecoming? Is it just homecoming? Of course not, but what about the others? He couldn't speak, especially when her current husband tried to do his duty as a master and release kindness to him.

The atmosphere became more and more awkward, and she finally opened her mouth to relieve the siege, "Then let me introduce it." ”

"This is Lao Lu ......"

"This is the second son-in-law......"

“......”

Everyone politely clinked glasses with him, but for him, politeness was actually alienation.

Finally, to the one beside him.

"This is ...... Son, statehood. ”

Whose son? No, Lu Shanmin's!

Jianguo held the wine glass and saw his cup coming, but he subconsciously moved away, wanting to touch it, but he didn't want to touch it, but in the end he just gently touched his wife's wine glass on the side, and he could only take back the empty wine glass.

..................

That's it, eating, drinking, and chatting, I expected his accommodation, when I knew that he was still living in the hotel, Lu Shanmin was the first to say that this was not right, he had to live at home, in order to make him live well, they also bought him a new bed and a new quilt.

Sitting on the bed, thinking that it was her next door, he turned his head to look at the window, for a long time, until the light over there went out, he turned his head and sighed, turned off the light, but he didn't want to sleep, he knew that she couldn't sleep like him over there......

As the host, she accompanied him to visit the magic capital, sat in the car, listened to the tour guide introduce the magic capital of the new era, and was tired of listening, she leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep, holding her hands together at some point.

She took him to see the new building under construction, and the two of them helped each other upstairs, just as they had done back then.

However, when he tried to find an opportunity to talk to her about something, she was dodging, and her granddaughter saw something and left like that, leaving room for the two of them to be private.

They faced each other and told what had happened since they left each other, and he could hear in them that she still had affection for him, so he mustered up the courage to say what he had always wanted to say but had not said.

"There is a place called Hualien on Taiwan Island, and I want to buy a big house there......"

"We're both young, and we don't have much time to live......

She did still love him, and understood his heart, so she cried and cried.

"But, the problem is Lao Lu, Lao Lu is a good person......"

"I can't be sorry for him. ”

One loves, the other owes, how to choose?

The days went on like this, and the three of them ate together, drank, and talked together.

He also joined in their family meetings and listened to their quarrels over the parents.

In this way, one day, her granddaughter took him on a tour of the Oriental Pearl, and in front of the big telescope, pointed out to him where her grandmother had lived and now lived, as well as ...... Civil affairs bureau

"Grandparents are getting a divorce now!" she told him suddenly.

As if he hadn't heard, he continued to look into the telescope, and suddenly, he rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hand, as if to see better, or maybe something else?

The whole family gathered together for dinner again, and in order to see him off, they also saw her off.

Lu Shanmin's words became more rare, and the tone was much higher, they accompanied and listened, not knowing what to think in their hearts.

But he didn't want to disturb the next door, Lu Shanmin, a person who has always been good-tempered, suddenly got angry, had a dispute, and even wanted to do it, but unfortunately, before his hand moved, others fell first, and this time he went to the hospital.

By the time he was discharged from the hospital, he couldn't stand up and was in a wheelchair.

took her back to Taiwan Island, and there was another turning point......

In order to make Lao Lu get better as soon as possible, he decided to cook himself and make some supplements for him, but there were no ingredients in the market that he was used to eating on Taiwan Island.

Of course, the meal was finally done, and the three of them sat down alone at a table again.

Lao Lu's interest was still very high, and he didn't seem to be affected by his body, insisting that he could skip the meal, but drink the wine, and then use the strength of the wine to let the two of them go back to Taiwan Island in the next two days.

As everyone knows, at this dinner table, his and her moods are changing.

They sang the tune of their hometown in the past, and it seemed that they had returned to that youthful era......

Finally, I decided to go back, and through her to find my son Jianguo alone, Jianguo still didn't want to recognize him as a father, and refused the money he was going to give him, but in the end he said that he was going to send him, which was the last bit of filial piety of his son to this son who had never fulfilled his obligation to support, and who had never even seen him before.

The family finally gathered at a dinner table, he had too much to say, but it was finally condensed into that classic song of Taiwan Island, however, he couldn't finish even a song, and the heavy rain poured down, pouring down a table of people and colding his heart.

When it was time to go back, she took Jianguo and her granddaughter to see him off.

Jianguo and his granddaughter were far behind, leaving them private space.

He and her, head to head, face to face, weeping, recounting the final parting.

Yes, he was leaving, but in the end he was by his side, without her......
