170. Deep Love
@
Two days before the wedding, Xu Shenlin took me to the cemetery, Song Lian's, my mother's, Mrs. Xu's.
When I went to Song Lian's cemetery, I didn't want Xu Shenlin to accompany me, because I didn't think Song Lian probably didn't want to see the two of us appear together, but Xu Shenlin insisted, he said that he had the obligation to come and see, I was afraid that he would misunderstand that I hadn't forgotten that incident, so I didn't stop it, the two of us finally got together after a lot of hard work, and we didn't want any waves.
The dead person is just a nostalgia, the life of the living person really continues, Song Lian is my sister, she has also been bound by love, but I believe she will understand my choice to marry Xu Shenlin.
On the day of the trip, my body was getting more and more bulky, Xu Shenlin originally planned to let me go after giving birth, I shook my head and said stubbornly, my mother has always hoped that I would find someone to live well, she is gone now, but I am still alive in my heart, I want to tell her that I have found what I want, everything is fine now, and she will not worry about it over there.
Xu Shenlin listened to this truth, and there was no more obstruction, we didn't bring a driver or an assistant when we went out, he prepared some snacks at home in advance and put them in the car, afraid that I would eat when I was hungry, and he was driving the whole time when I went out, without any ambiguity.
When we arrived at the cemetery, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, after the last time we came to the cemetery, it was a few months after the last visit, the first time we came here was still bare and a lot of greenery had not yet taken root, and now it was a bleak winter here a few months apart, but my mother and Song Lian's tombstone next door was full of blooming winter chrysanthemums, and it didn't look lonely.
All this is probably Xu Shenlin is ordering to take care of it, and I have never had an air traffic control, I sat there looking at the two tombstones, and I didn't speak, I don't know if the mood is sad or what, I always feel that I am the happiest day when they are not there, and my heart is always empty.
Xu Shenlin stood behind me and accompanied me, and he didn't speak, waiting for me to babble and nag about some household things.
We stayed in the cemetery for half an hour, and prepared some of her favorite foods for Song Lian during her lifetime, as well as my mother, Xu Shenlin held me and stood in front of the tombstone of my mother and Song Lian, and finally turned around and left, and when I turned around, the colorful winter chrysanthemums behind me were swaying in the back, I think, they will not be lonely for the rest of their lives.
After that, Xu Shenlin took me to his mother's grave, since we have known each other for so long, I have rarely heard him talk about his mother in front of me, and now when she takes me to meet her mother, I am really a little nervous, like an ugly daughter-in-law has met her in-laws.
Along the way, he always asked about his mother's previous life, what kind of girl he liked, and what kind of temper he liked about her future son's daughter-in-law.
Xu Shenlin listened all the way, and he didn't think I was noisy, but when he saw me being so noisy, he said, what I like is what my mother likes.
Then brushed my hair that was blown by the cold wind, and led me to continue walking, Xu Shenlin's mother's grave was not as majestic as I imagined, but in a bare field in the cemetery piled high loess, and a bluestone slab was shielded on it.
There was nothing written on the tombstone, it was corroded by moss and covered with green marks.
Xu Shenlin sat there and stretched out his hand to pull the grass around the grave, I kept following him like a hard-working little bee to help him clean up the grass, he quietly watched my action, did not speak, just told me to be careful.
The two of us cleaned up all the grass on his mother's grave, I suddenly thought of Xu Shenlin's father, looked left and right, and found that there was no extra grave, and said a little strangely, Xu Shenlin, where is your father's grave.
He plucked the weeds for a long time before he said, he is not here.
After that, he continued to lower his head and pull the grass on the ground, I instantly seemed to understand that I had stepped on his taboo, and then I didn't say anything more, Xu Shenlin never said anything from beginning to end, I felt a slight feeling in my heart, when my mother used to talk to me about Mrs. Xu, she said that she was good to me at that time, and now I don't know why when I look at this desolate grave, I always have some feelings in my heart.
Today's Xu Shenlin is also more silent than usual, as if the whole person is shrouded in some emotion, I have occasionally heard some love and hate between Xu's mother and Xu Xu's father, and I always feel that Xu Shenlin seems to have hated his father all the time, and he has not let go until he died.
Now the lonely grave beside Xu's mother is standing here, and he didn't let the two be buried together.
I looked at Xu Shenlin's somewhat silent face, and I didn't know how to comfort him, because since we met, he never showed the slightest sadness and sadness, as if no matter how big the matter could be solved in him, I relied on him too much.
But now I see the shallow sadness on his face, so he makes me understand that everyone has sadness and sadness, he is a human being, and there will be sad times, I want to comfort him, quietly held his hand, he still has mud in his palm, he looked at me sideways, I smiled at him and said, your mother must be a very good person, today we came to see her as a family, she must be very happy.
He hummed, stretched out his hand to wipe the mud on my face and said, My mother likes to love clean daughters-in-law, see that your face is as dirty as a little flower cat.
I laughed and rubbed against him, rubbing the mud of his coat without a trace of wrinkles, and he couldn't help me, just watching me smile faintly there, with a little pampering in his eyes.
When we left after taking care of the grave, Xu Shenlin said, Mom, Yuanyuan I have found it.
The trees beside the grave shook and collided into the sound of salsa in the silent cemetery, I looked at the lonely and old grave with him, and said softly in my heart, Mom, Shenlin is very good, thank you for raising him to be such an excellent man.
After we went down the mountain and went back, Xu Shenlin's mood was not very high, in order to yell at him to be happy, I deliberately stayed in the bathroom for a few hours at night, painted a masterpiece on my round belly and walked out.
He was sitting on the bed reading a book, his black hair was a little wet, and he had just bathed like a hard-boiled egg, and he looked like he was pressed underneath.
I walked up to him with a big belly, he was looking down at someone, the shallow light and shadow hit his face and cast a fine halo, I crawled between his hands in a ball, and used my round belly against his sturdy waist without the slightest fat.
He folded the book in his hand into a corner, put it down, saw the pattern on my stomach, and shook it for a while.
I grinned and wrapped my arms around his neck, then put down a hand and pointed to a puppy on his stomach that I had been drawing for a long time and asked him, "Guess what I was drawing."
He glanced at it, put the book down in his hand, and let me sit on his lap, one hand around my waist to make me sit comfortably, and his gaze circulated over my green belly for a long time, before he said something that looked a bit like a mutated monkey.
I reached out to pinch him and said, "I'm drawing a monkey picking peaches."
He studied it for a long time, and finally nodded and said that it was indeed a bit of a god.
Then I asked me for a pen, and I asked him what he was doing, and he stretched out his hand and drew a lot of food on my stomach, and all of them were things I hadn't eaten for half a month.
After he finished painting, he asked me if I was hungry, I stretched out my hand to pinch him, he was thrown on the bed by me, I rubbed on him, I felt fragrant, and then lowered my head to kiss him with a heavy breath, at first I just wanted to tease him, and in the end I couldn't stop it more and more, but at the critical moment I suddenly felt that my stomach moved, and I was immediately scared and didn't dare to move, Xu Shenlin asked me strangely What's wrong, I said your son just moved.
So he listened to his son on my stomach for two hours, and the two of us forgot to get down to business.
The day of the wedding was six o'clock in the morning, and I was inexplicably excited that night, and I kept asking Xu Shenlin repeatedly what I should pay attention to, and he was a little drowsy and answered me with no match, touched my head a few times, and then closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I think he's not nervous at all, and it's just me sleeping there and I can't wait to turn the bed over.
I kissed him on the face, licked him, and seeing that he didn't respond, I found a good place next to him and slept with him.
So I couldn't get up in the morning.
I was sleeping dead at five o'clock, I felt Xu Shenlin kiss between my eyebrows, I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw him in a formal suit appeared in my eyes, his eyebrows were clear, and I looked at him for a while.
I thought to myself that my man was so handsome, and then closed my eyes again and fell asleep, half-asleep and half-awake I felt that he said something in my ear, a very small word, I didn't hear what it was, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
After he left, Du Xiaolan and Jiang Winnie broke into my house with a makeup artist, I thought it was a burglar in the house, and when I just wanted to call for help, Du Xiaolan took off the scarf around her neck and threw it in my face, putting down everything in her hand.
dragged me off the bed and said, Sister, wake up, today is your marriage, can we be sober and remember all this beautiful thing.
After she finished speaking, the makeup artist and dress artist outside poured in like a fish, pulled me up from the bed one after another, and slapped me in the face with the toner.
Jiang Winnie sat at my makeup table, biting an apple and pointing at the makeup artist.
Du Xiaolan has been wowing at the wedding dress in the clothing room for half an hour, I sat there and fell asleep, Du Xiaolan said that my wedding dress is equivalent to wearing her house.
And then there was some self-pity and self-pity there, and this is what it feels like to marry into a wealthy family, with the bathroom on your feet, the living room on your hands, the savings in your stomach, and the bedroom hanging from your ears.
I
Du Xiaolan sighed there for a while, and then the makeup artist smeared it on my face, for two hours, two people who were still in high spirits when they came, one was paralyzed on the bed yawning, and the other sat on the ground and dismantled and installed the lamp at home.
Two hours ago, my face had stiffened to the point that I didn't know what it looked like.
When I was done putting on my makeup, the gownsmith prepared four sets of dresses for me, one for the morning, one for the afternoon, one for the evening, and one for midnight.
Four sets, neatly arranged there.
Then a few people put on my wedding dress in the changing room, and it took dozens of minutes to put it on.
After changing out, Jiang Winnie and Du Xiaolan made a loud wow, I saw myself in the mirror, my big belly had been covered by the hem wedding dress, and my upper body and arms were quite thin, so I couldn't see any signs of pregnancy when I put it on.
It's just that this feeling of marrying with a son is a little weird.
Everything was ready, Jiang Winnie carried the skirt in front of me, Du Xiaolan helped me to get into the car, when we were all seated, I stretched out my hand to close the car door hard, and then the place where I sat felt a little uncomfortable, moved twice and found that it was wrong, and there was a tearing sound of fabric in the car.
Everyone looked at me, and I ripped off a whole chunk of my legendary wedding dress in a house.
Jiang Winnie and Du Xiaolan,
I said, what's going on.
Jiang Winnie pointed to the hem of my wedding dress and said, "It's broken!"
Du Xiaolan signaled Jiang Winnie not to panic, took out his bag and turned over the needle and thread from it for a long time, and sewed and mended it there for a long time, when we were about to admire Du Xiaolan's ingenuity, we looked down and saw that a red line that could not be seen on the white wedding dress suddenly appeared without seeing the shape, curved like an earthworm.
I was a little broken and said, Du Xiaolan, you use the red line to fill in the white, what do you mean.
Jiang Weini said angrily there, it's all you! It's all you! How can you go out to meet people.
I was a little worried about what happened next, and finally the dressmaker sitting in the front sat in the back and tore a layer of gauze on the top and bottom of my wedding dress, and the wedding dress was immediately restored to its original state.
I sighed a little and thought, there is still a person here who still has an IQ.
After this little episode passed, I fell into a long tension, and Xu Shenlin called me halfway and asked me how I was.
I looked at the wedding dress with a piece of fabric missing and said that everything was perfect.
Xu Shenlin's voice came clearly from the other end of the phone, and he said, just be perfect.
Then I whispered something in my ear not to be nervous, after hanging up the phone, the car had been stuck in traffic for two hours, and there was still half an hour before the divorce ceremony began, and the driver was jammed like a long queue of cars jumping there and scolding.
Jiang Winnie was playing the game console on the side, sighing, so tired.
Du Xiaolan held my hand and said in a broken thought, everything will go well, everything will go well.
In the middle of the road, there were three or four traffic policemen there to clear the road, and after 20 minutes passed, the long queue of cars on the road was restarted, and the driver rushed there as fast as he could in his life.
After we got off the bus, Du Xiaolan and Jiang Winnie led me and ran desperately, and when we arrived at the church, the auditorium was holding the dream wedding, Xu Shenlin stood on the stage in a straight wedding dress and looked at me quietly in the church, there were fifty or sixty people between us, some knew and some didn't know, and everyone had a warm smile on their faces.
I stood there in a trance, Xu Shenlin stood in a halo, like a hero of this armor, his eyes were full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand like me.
The priest stood solemnly on the stage and said, "Please join the bride's family and hand her over to the bridegroom."
I was a little nervous, and looked at Du Xiaolan and Jiang Winnie who were standing on the left and right sides of me, they smiled at me and retreated from me at the same time, the dream wedding was still ringing, but there was nothing around them, bare.
I stood there because there was no one around to see me off.
The people in the auditorium all bowed their heads and whispered something when they saw this scene, and the originally warm auditorium instantly gossiped and sounded a little noisy, so I stood there and didn't move.
When the priest reminded me, I said in a loud voice, "I am walking alone, and no one is with me."
When he was about to walk over to Xu Shenlin with all the strange eyes on his skirt, he suddenly shouted behind him.
My back stiffened, everyone's eyes looked behind me, I thought it was my hallucination, the voice sounded again, she said, who said that Song Wenjing has no family, am my father and I not people?
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly turned around, and I saw a woman in a long dress standing at the door of a cloud of light, and she was led by an old man who was looking around curiously.
When she saw me looking at her, she stood there smiling, and she smiled and said, Song Wenjing, my father and I will accompany you to the last part of the road.
Faced with such a situation, I covered my mouth and cried and laughed there, thinking that I was dreaming, and pinched my thigh hard, it hurt, and suddenly I didn't know what to do.
She took the old man next to her and approached me step by step, and then accompanied me and whispered in my ear, saying, Song Wenjing, do you remember the promise we made when we were children? No matter who gets married first, we will be responsible for being each other's bridesmaids, and I will fulfill my promise and duty.
After she finished speaking, she paused, kissed me lightly on the cheek, and said, "Sister wishes you eternal happiness."
When I was in a dream, she took my hand and put the old man's hand in my hand and held it tightly, came to my right side and carried the wedding dress for me, and led me step by step to the man who was standing on the stage and had been smiling and watching this scene.
Until she handed me into his hands, she said, Xu Shenlin, I am only this sister in my life, if you don't treat her well, if you dare to let her down, be careful that I look for you desperately, it is not easy for my mother to raise her to such a big age, I hope you will cherish her more than anyone else, love her, and be good to her, no matter whether you are poor or rich.
Xu Shenlin didn't hesitate, looked at my tearful appearance, held my hand accurately, and his firm words echoed in his ears for half a ring, there was only one word, okay.
Then he stretched out his hand with a hint of distress in his eyes, and whispered in my ear, there is no meteor in the wedding, Yuanyuan, are you ready to be my bride?
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause below, I looked at the crowd with tears in my eyes, and saw Lin Anhang's face in a crowd of people, he sat in the middle of the crowd, his face was full of bright smiles, but there was a faint light in his eyes, he said something loudly in the crowd, and the applause drowned out his voice like a tide, but I still clearly heard him say hard, Song Wenjing!
Both men I've loved are here.
