He Yonghui, who was drunk and hot, muttered, "Do you want to hear a story?" The tone was obsessed and his expression was sad, just like the sad Xia Xue who stood by the river that year.

Li Shaohui was lonely in his heart and nodded.

"Hehe, where should I start? Where to start? Let's start with Xue'er's background..."

This story and the story in Xia Xue's mouth have the same ending, the same sadness, but they have a different beginning and a different process.

Xia Xue, a Yi girl in Liangzhou, Sichuan, grew up in the countryside with her grandparents because her parents were in politics and had no time to take care of her.

When she was in the countryside, she had the love of her grandparents, and she was a little bird who was always happy. When she is brave, she can follow the boys to climb trees and dig birds' nests, go up the mountain to find medicinal herbs, when she is cute, she can meet girls to sing and dance rubber bands, and when she is hardworking, she can also do some housework for her grandparents...

In short, grandpa's love and grandma's kindness gave her a carefree childhood.

It was only in junior high school that her unfortunate road slowly unfolded, when her strict parents wanted their son to become a dragon and their daughter to become a phoenix, so they took her to her side and went to school in the city with her brother.

The innate inferiority complex of rural people and the unique pride of urban people are especially obvious when Xia Xue first entered junior high school.

At that time, the naïve Xia Xue, when she stepped into the junior high school in the city with excitement, she was ridiculed by her classmates for the first time in her life, the teacher's eyes, and she was unable to study because of the lack of education in rural primary schools, making it difficult for her to learn and it was difficult to keep up with the pace of others.

Over time, Xia Xue, who was in the primary grade, gradually became inferior and sensitive, and her parents, who absolutely believed in exam-oriented education and only valued grades, not only did not appease her fragile and young heart, but used the unique authority of her parents to whip her brutally all the time.

At that time, all she saw was her father's angry eyes, what she heard was her mother's sigh of grief, and what she felt was the ridicule of her brother, who was loved by thousands of people.

If her childhood was a happy little bird, then her junior high school, high school and even college were a little bird trapped in a cage, and she also desperately wanted to melt into this birdcage, like other caged birds, she did not envy freedom, drunk and dreamed of death, and won the care of her parents, brothers, teachers and classmates, but she was scarred and did not melt into it in the end, and she got her wish.

Sometimes she also wants to work hard to fly out of this birdcage and be as free as a bird in the sky again, but the shackles of her family and the cruelty of society do not allow her to have the slightest heart to resist. Until he met He Yonghui, met the great man who could shelter her from the wind and rain, and met the man who could speak softly to her and regard her as a confidant as true love.

When Xia Xue applied for the college entrance examination, she chose to major in Chinese and Chinese literature, but Xia Xue's parents ignored what Xia Xue thought in her heart, ignored Xia Xue's hobbies and specialties, and only forced Xia Xue to submit according to their own will, and chose a university of political science and law for Xia Xue, hoping that she could become an official in the future.

This time, Xia Xue did not give in again, stubbornly insisted on her own opinions, so many years of inferiority complex, so many years of indifference by her parents, so that she finally aroused endless resistance, she decided not to compromise again, to live a good life according to her own wishes.

It's just that the parents who have been in politics for many years have already developed a strong and arrogant character, and they can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from their children, maybe because they are used to being submissive in front of their superiors, so they have to make up for the wronged side at home, so that time Xia Xue and her parents and brother became a fire and water.

The helpless Xia Xue could only ask her grandparents for help in the end, and after hearing this, her grandparents were distressed and rushed over thousands of miles away.

The grandfather felt sorry for his granddaughter and reprimanded: "The babies are so big, it's a good thing to have your own ideas, even if your parents don't support it, how can you interfere so arbitrarily?"

Xia Xue's mother: "Dad, you know what to do, the baby is still young and ignorant, how can she come by her temperament, just the broken school she chose, she couldn't even find a job when she came out, and she didn't have a place to regret it at that time." ”

Xia Xue's father, as the head of the family, believes in filial piety under the stick the most, and scolded: "The little girl is so disobedient, will she be able to do it in the future?"

Grandpa Xia Xue: "You are a good grandson who rarely plays music in front of Lao Tzu, do you remember the bear you looked like when you were a child? ”

Grandma Xia Xue: "You two are really, Xue'er was such an elf and eccentric little girl with us when she was a child, but since she was with you, she didn't dare to speak, she didn't dare to breathe, the whole person was so introverted, she was just a person, and people who didn't know thought they had found their stepparents!"

Xia Xue's father: "Mom, it's not that your second elder has been used to the stinky problem since he was a child, he is young and stubborn like a donkey, I don't believe it this time, I can't cure her." ”

"What? What did you say? You blame me and your mother, do you still have a conscience? And who do you say is a donkey?

It's just this dizziness, and the whole person has never woken up again.

At the grandfather's funeral, grandma cried to death, her lifelong partner died, leaving her alone to live, and Xia Xue's parents also cried and grieved, only Xia Xue looked at the kind grandfather lying quietly in the small coffin, not crying or laughing, and her heart was like ashes.

Four years later, at the request of her parents, Xia Xue entered a state-owned enterprise, worked and lived step by step, and began her career journey that could not be seen at a glance.

However, the death of her grandfather has always been an indelible pain in Xia Xue's heart, and this incident is like planting a Manzhu Sawa in Xia Xue's heart, which lasts for a long time and becomes more and more beautiful, just like the hatred in Xia Xue's heart.

After working in a state-owned enterprise for a few years, Xia Xue was depressed and depressed, and the unwilling Manzhu Shahua in her heart was eager to try, and wanted to break free from the cage at any time.

Finally, on Xia Xue's trip to Lijiang, it broke through the shackles and bloomed in the wind.

Li Shaohui suddenly understood in his heart that Xia Xue had never talked about her family affairs, even if she had a night talk by the river, she refused to mention it more, it turned out that there were too many twists and turns here, and her heart was sad and unspeakable.

In this world, the daughter is lively and lovely, the parents are politicians, and the grandparents are kind and kind, how can such a human tragedy happen?

Who would have thought that under the appearance of summer snow, there is a soul that has been wounded since childhood?

"Xue'er told you about our past, right?" After introducing Xia Xue's past, He Yonghui sighed and asked Li Shaohui.

"Well, I've talked about it, it's just talked..."Li Shaohui narrated them one by one, He Yonghui looked at the wine glass and listened carefully.

"This stupid woman is really stupid. He Yonghui smiled slightly bitterly and said: "She only told you about her wayward side, but she didn't say a word about her benefits, in fact, she has a lot of shining points." ”

Subsequently, He Yonghui told the story of his past with Xia Xue.

After He Yonghui and Xia Xue fell in love for life, Xia Xue returned to Chengdu to say goodbye to her parents, then quit her job and returned to Lijiang again.

When she came back, Xia Xue didn't bring anything, only the old casserole, she said to He Yonghui: "This pot is my grandmother's beloved thing, my grandmother used medicine for my grandfather's heart disease, now your body is thin, I will use this pot to make soup and medicine for you, as long as I am here from now on, you will never be allowed to be sick and thin again." When Xia Xue said these words, her immature face was full of old-fashioned expressions, like an angry kitten wielding, cute and unusual.

In just a few months in Lijiang, Xia Xue learned to cook all kinds of soups, which are genuine soups, full of color, flavor, and flavor, including crucian carp tofu soup, winter melon pork rib soup... So in a short period of time after that, He Yonghui, a naturally skinny person, quickly gained dozens of pounds, and Xia Xue, who is keen on her husband and children, the first thing she does when she wakes up every morning is to clean up her home and He Yonghui, and then run into the kitchen to wash and wash up, cook vegetables and make soup. She never let He Yonghui help with family matters, she said that this is the rule of women on their side as wives, otherwise, it means that the hostess of the house is unqualified.

At that time, He Yonghui's daily task was to dress up neatly, eat, drink and have fun, and it was also at that time that He Yonghui was spoiled by Xia Xue and became a big connoisseur without soup.

Speaking of this, He Yonghui Yonghui drank a bowl of salty tomato and seaweed soup on the table.

Li Shaohui was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Xia Xue to be such a strong woman, she was such a good woman who was so traditional and polite, and she had such a gentle and family-friendly side, it seemed that she didn't know her well enough after all!

After He Yonghui finished drinking, he recalled the past.

A man would have vanity, and it is even more worth boasting that a poor homeless man would have such an understanding, beautiful and lovely wife, so the greatest pleasure and achievement of He Yonghui at that time was to lead his friends home to drink all kinds of soup. Xia Xue never cared about the troubles and tight finances during the period. She was dressed in loungewear and slippers, and she was walking around the room like a beautiful butterfly dancing among the flowers.

At that time, He Yonghui was not good at words, and he didn't know how to express his praise for Xia Xue, the only thing he could do was to look at Xia Xue's eyes full of tenderness, and when he drank the soup, his voice was a little louder.

This kind of behavior provoked the cynicism of He Yonghui's friends, but at this time, Xia Xue, the tigress who protects her calves, will jump out as soon as possible, and He Yonghui's friends can only bow their heads to Xia Xue's excessive husband-guarding behavior, after all, such a delicious soup is difficult to find in Lijiang!
