Chapter 109: The Past Is Like Smoke
Chapter 109: The Past Is Like Smoke
"Do you really want to know?" the old lady may have seen her brother have such an expression now, which made her feel more cordial than she had seen in a long time. I can't bear to continue to reject Cheng An, and besides, this kind of thing is not a big deal for a person like her who is over half a hundred years old.
As soon as Cheng An saw that there was a door, he immediately nodded his head more than a dozen times, looked at the old lady with an attitude of humbly asking for advice, and waited for the old sister to tell him about the old things!
"This matter started from me thirty years ago, when I was still a delicate little girl, and I was counted as your old sister in those ten miles and eight villages. Counted. The old lady forgot the modified words for a while, but Cheng An reminded in time: "The big beauty in the village!"
"Yes, that's right! The big beauty in the village, the young man who proposed the marriage is about to smooth the threshold of our house. But your elder sister and I have such a high eye, I didn't even like it, so I went from eighteen to twenty-two. When I was twenty-two years old, a group of people came to our existence, including Liu Zhongjie. The old lady was interrupted by Cheng An when she said this.
Cheng An asked, "What are these people doing here?" Why don't I have any impression at all?"
The old lady knocked Cheng An's head angrily, and scolded with a smile: "At that time, you were just born, where do you remember these things!"
"Oh!" Cheng An made an expression of understanding, in fact, even if he was a few years older, he couldn't know this, because he wasn't really Cheng An after all!
Liu Zhongjie: The group of people who came here were the educated youths who responded to the country's call to go to the mountains and the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants. At that time, you may not know how enviable it is for such a group of young intellectuals to come to our village. Sister, I don't look down on the young men in the village, because I dislike them for being uneducated, and I can't read a lot of words. I know that I am buried in the ground all day and do farm work, and I have no mood at all!"
Cheng An felt that what the old lady said was also true, but at that time, filling her stomach was a problem, who would have the luxury to improve her cultural level. No, those young intellectuals also have to come to the countryside for training.
"So sister, you fell in love with Liu Zhongjie at that time?" Cheng Angang finished speaking, and the old lady was hit in the head again, and he rubbed his head in pain, knowing that he had made a mistake, even if the old sister had such an idea at the time, he couldn't say it in front of the old sister, right?
You don't understand the situation at that time, the status of rural people is not as worthless as it is now, and people look down on them. As the main force of the country's production at that time, even these educated youths had to put down their bodies and have a good experience in rural transformation. You think that at that time, those educated youths exercised in our village for three years, and in three years of getting along, it was inevitable that they would fall in love for a long time, with your old sister and me. Isn't it normal for Liu Zhongjie to take a fancy to me?"
This is true, there are many educated youths who go to the countryside to get married and have children in the countryside, and at that time, perhaps these educated youths felt that it was a very honorable thing to marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside. Cheng An knew a rough idea, and he didn't want to continue to talk about it, what Cheng An wanted to know most was why the old sister didn't walk with Liu Zhongjie later, but lived alone until now!
This is the most bizarre place in Cheng An's opinion, even if she doesn't walk with Liu Zhongjie, the old lady can choose someone else, such a lonely life, it really makes Cheng An very confused!
"Sister, what about later?" Cheng An continued to ask.
"Later, not later!" I don't know why the old lady suddenly stopped talking, maybe the old lady remembered something that was enough to make her feel sad.
However, the old lady didn't answer, but Liu Zhongjie walked in from outside and continued to pick up the rest of the story!
Your sister and I fell in love with each other, but neither of us pierced the last layer of window paper. It was so long that the movement was about to end, and I saw that I could not drag it any longer, so I wrote a love letter to your sister and asked her to pass it on to her to express my heart. That letter didn't reach your sister in the end, and I didn't know it from her until I saw your sister recently!" Liu Zhongjie walked to the nearby mahogany furniture sofa and sat down, revealing the final mystery to Cheng An.
The plot is similar, but it really happened to many people. Liu Zhongjie's love letter to his sister said that he asked his sister to wait for him for a year, and he would come back to give his sister a dowry and take her to the city within a year.
But until Liu Zhongjie left, he didn't get a reply from his sister, and Liu Zhongjie's heart was cold. He thought that his sister didn't agree with the matter between them, and Liu Zhongjie wanted to go back and ask his sister what she wanted, but then he learned from others that his sister had agreed to another family, so he was completely dead!
As for her sister, until Liu Zhongjie's return to the city, she didn't know that there was such a thing, and she also thought that Liu Zhongjie had no affection for her, so she didn't think about her own affairs anymore when she was sad.
"This is really a mistake, a good couple is just scattered!" Cheng Andu secretly regretted his sister's past. I didn't dare to face true love for two people, and I made a mistake in a love letter that made the two miss each other, and I felt unwilling to come together.
If I had gone back and fought for it, things wouldn't have gotten the way they are. Xiaomei has suffered all her life, I'm sorry for her!" Liu Zhongjie looked at his sister affectionately, and Cheng Andu's apology to the old sister moved Cheng Andu.
"What about love letters, and is it a mistake to spread false news, or is someone doing it on purpose?" Cheng An couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"After so many years, who can still know what went wrong, I only remember that I handed over the love letter to the old village chief, and now the old village chief has long passed away, how can I find out what happened before!"
In those years, there were no more records than now, and as long as you have the heart to investigate, you will find out a rough idea. And the matter of telling Liu Zhongjie's sister that she found another family may also be that someone else mistook someone else for her, anyway. This pair of hard-working mandarin ducks missed the best time of their lives.
After nearly 30 years of separation, his sister lived alone all her life, and although Liu Zhongjie later got married and had children, his partner had also passed away in the early years, and now he has a son and a daughter by his side. They are all adults and have families of their own.
Listening to the meaning of Liu Zhongjie's words, it is obvious that he wants to renew his relationship with his sister. Cheng An's heart suddenly became lively, he was not excited to be able to have this relationship with Liu Zhongjie, but wanted to make his sister happy!
