Chapter 43 (II)

"Brother, are you still thinking about recruitment?" Looking at Cen Xinrui looking at the shuttle bus in the distance for a while, Cen asked pragmatically and concernedly.

"No, I don't want to decide if I decide. Looking back at his brother with a concerned face, Cen Xinrui said truthfully.

"This is indeed not the most ideal result, but it does not mean that it will be the only way in the future," Cen said with both comfort and encouragement: "Everything is possible, the key is to work hard yourself." ”

"I know. Cen Xinrui replied, and then said: "To be honest, it is difficult to make a decision on this matter, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be the first to express her opinion." ”

"Don't look at her Sven, she is actually assertive. Cen pragmatic looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and said proudly.

Looking at his brother's satisfied appearance, Cen Xinrui thought to himself, it seems that his relationship with his sister-in-law is really good. Just as he thought of this, he remembered another person. After thinking about it for a few degrees, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "Brother, do you remember a person?"

"Who?" Cen asked pragmatically.

"Sister Shanshan," Cen Xinrui replied, seeing that Cen Pragmatic didn't seem to react at once, he added: "You Shanshan." ”

Listening to Cen Xinrui's words, Cen was pragmatic for a moment, looked at it and his eyes dimmed, and it took a long time before he said: "Remember, how can you not remember." ”

"That-" Cen Xinrui looked at his brother tentatively.

"She's gone. Cen replied with great difficulty.

"It's gone!" Cen Xinrui was taken aback, "What's going on?"

Alas-

Cen sighed heavily, and after a while, Fang said very depressedly, "Do you know Niu Tianyang?"

"You mean she was blown into the sea by a typhoon?" Cen Xinrui couldn't believe it.

Cen nodded with a heavy heart.

Looking at his brother's gloomy face, Cen Xinrui was speechless. Although the campaign has been tightly locked down against catastrophic events in the country since it began, Niu Tianyang still knows about the shipwreck, because one of his middle school classmates, Cui Changjun, died in the shipwreck after only one year in the army.

Hao Zhijia, who had attended the memorial service, said afterwards that his brother's colleague in Guangzhou had privately sent news that the disaster could have been avoided, but because the upper wall had to defend the embankment around the sea, many soldiers and college students who were exercising on the army farm were sacrificed in vain. Who would have thought that the beautiful and kind sister Shanshan, whom he often talked about, was actually among them.

Thinking of this, Cen Xinrui couldn't help but burst into tears. He can't forget what Shanshan's sister did for him: from washing his clothes on weekdays, to helping him pick quilts on snowy days, and taking the truck he stopped when he came home from vacation, begging the driver to give him a ride.

To be honest, his feelings for the opposite sex largely come from You Shanshan. He will always remember that scene: when the driver who was stopped agreed to her request and stopped the car, it was Shanshan's sister who lifted him up so that he could climb onto the truck, and when he was unsteady on the car, it was Shanshan's sister who grabbed the railing with one hand and held him in her arms with the other. At that moment, he realized how warm a woman's embrace was, and that soft and soft feeling made him really want to go home a little longer.

Looking at his brother's sad appearance, Cen was speechless. After a long while, Fang stretched out his arm and grabbed his brother's shoulder. In fact, compared to Cen Xinrui's sadness, his heart hurt even more, when he first learned the news, it can be said that he was heartbroken, and he cried several times in no one's place. He hated himself for being too stupid to forcefully dissuade Shanshan when she told her on the phone that she had promised a classmate from Guangzhou to be on duty on the seawall for her, but only expressed her disagreement in general. He should have thought about how dangerous it would be when a ferocious typhoon crashed into the newly built levee.

Silence, except for silence or silence, the brothers were in a state of silence for a while. Although both of them felt pity and distress for Shanshan, Cen was undoubtedly more painful.

She was the woman he was emotionally attracted to for the first time in his life, and she was the school sister he loved deeply. He will never forget the scene when Shanshan came home for the first time after studying at Guangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine: in the pear orchard next to Yahou Street, in the pavilion covered in ice and snow, she shyly confided her thoughts about him, and accepted his confession excitedly. When he put his arms around her slender waist and kissed her smooth forehead and crimson lips, he felt like his heart was about to pop out of his mouth. At that moment, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world, and no matter what the situation, he would cherish the woman in his arms until the end of his life.

However, all this was put to an end by a relentless typhoon and tsunami. No, there is no such person as You Shanshan in this world anymore. Although Cen Shishi later met Qi Fuya, who knew pain and heat, he also tried to get out of the pain, but nightmares always haunted him.

Sometimes, as soon as he closes his eyes, he feels as if he is in a pear orchard, with his beloved Shanshan, surrounded by large pear trees. But as soon as you open your eyes, everything disappears, leaving only yourself alone. It was from then on that he was afraid to see the pear tree and listen to the word pear orchard. When he thinks about them, he feels that life is impermanent and boring, and doubts what is the value and meaning of his life.

Of course, he also felt that this was not good, especially sorry for Qi Fuya, but no matter how he cheered up, he just couldn't completely forget Shanshan. Sometimes in the dead of night, when I wake up, it seems that I am still hugging her in the pavilion of the pear orchard.

For him, since he came out of his mother's belly, he has grown to be in his twenties, and he can be said to have feelings for the opposite sex, except for his mother and eldest sister, is Shanshan. He loved her handsomeness, and he loved her understanding even more. He vividly remembers the wonderful times he spent with her: studying, playing, singing, and going green, and he often recalled the lively and dexterous demeanor of the first time she came to his house with her brother You Haiyang. But now that's all gone. He couldn't figure out why God was so ruthless, to treat a flower-like life like this, to punish himself so much.

Cen Xinrui knew what his brother was thinking, so in order not to let him think more and farther alone, he took more steps and led the way home.

Seeing this, Cen was pragmatic for a moment, and then followed. At the moment when his brother took a step, he suddenly thought: since he has already gone and cannot come back, the living must live well, not to mention that he still has parents, wife and children, even the beautiful and kind Shanshan has a spirit in heaven, and he will not agree that he always tortures himself with gloom and pain.

What will my brother think at this moment, Cen Xinrui is naturally still paying attention, but he thinks of another question at this moment: Mother said that she knew about Sister Shanshan's death, but why didn't she tell herself?
