The four of them walked silently towards the east end of the village, which was the intersection of the village.

Cui Hong and Wang Xiaohua said goodbye to Tang Peng and Li Quan in tears, telling them that they must come back alive, and the two watched them leave, knowing that their figures were gradually disappearing away and disappearing on the country road.

The next day, Tang's mother learned that Tang Peng went out to join the army, and fainted after crying.

Soon after Tang Peng and Li Quan left, Wang Xiaohua was found to be pregnant, but Cui Hong had no news.

Wang Xiaohua has a son, and her father-in-law is named Li Dali, who has the strength to work and make money, and is not afraid of being bullied.

After that, the devil came, and everyone was busy fleeing into the mountains.

Cui Hong's parents and brothers are gone.

Tang's father left, and soon Tang's mother didn't hold it and left. Before he died, he took Cui Hong's hand and asked Cui Hong to swear to wait for Tang Peng to come back.

Cui Hong guards a dilapidated house, sunrise and sunset. The ginkgo tree was full of leaves again, and when the wind blew the leaves, the leaves slowly turned yellow and began to fall, and the ginkgo tree was left with only branches.

She is like a lookout, every day she will go to the intersection of the village and look forward to it, she is there to see Tang Peng away, and wants to pick up Tang Peng home there. Every day, I waited with hope to return to the people, but the country roads were quiet most of the time, except for the people who rushed to the market.

Finally one day, Cui Hong saw a familiar person who he hadn't seen for more than ten years, it was Li Quan, and Li Quan was back. She was overjoyed, waved her arms to greet him, and asked why Tang Peng didn't come back with her, in her heart, Tang Peng and Li Quan walked together, they should come back together.

Li Quan told Cui Hong that he and Tang Peng had separated after going out for a year, and now he didn't know where Tang Peng was, but he had heard people talk about Tang Peng, Tang Peng was very powerful, he could read and strategize, and he was already an official. He comforted Cui Hong, Tang Peng must have something, and he will come back to find her when he is done, he doesn't have much ability, so he will stay in Zhangjiawan in the future, so he can come back so early.

Cui Hong nodded in her heart, she knew that Tang Peng was a capable person, and she would definitely let her live a good life.

As Li Quan expected, Tang Peng came back a month later, and Cui Hong waited for him under the ginkgo tree.

On that day, the moon was full, Cui Hong was alone under the ginkgo tree looking at the moon full of worries, she spent day by day waiting, day by day disappointed. Other people's homes are lively, and she is the only one who is alone.

The figure in front of the door interrupted her sentimentality, she looked at the person in the moonlight from a distance, she hadn't seen it for more than ten years, it was still so familiar, the midnight dream appeared from time to time, she could be sure that it was him, the person she looked forward to day and night. She ran quickly to the door of the house, running as hard as she could, and she felt that she had run for a lifetime to reach this distance of tens of meters. The person she was waiting for suddenly appeared in front of her, and she felt unreal and was afraid that she was dreaming.

Looking at the person in front of him whose temples were stained with wind and frost, Tang Peng called Cui Hong's name uncertainly, and only a faint outline was left on his former face, he was not sure if it was his former wife.

Cui Hong covered her mouth and cried, this voice has not been heard for many years. After all, his years of waiting are still worth it, Tang Peng is also old, and like himself, there are a few gray hairs mixed in his black hair.

She followed behind Tang Peng and entered the house full of joy, not knowing what to say with a full stomach. In the end, he let him rest first, cook by himself, come back so late, he must not have eaten, she has been good at craftsmanship in recent years, and there are still a few eggs at home, which will be made into stewed eggs for a while, Tang Peng must like it, he used to like to eat stewed eggs.

Tang Peng knelt on the ground with a thud, Cui Hong looked back when he heard the voice behind him, he was completely stunned, now there is no need to kneel casually, this is feudal dross, if others see it, they will all be criticized and educated. She hurriedly helped Tang Peng up, Tang Peng pulled Cui Hong's hand away, he said that he was sorry for Cui Hong, he made a mistake, begged Cui Hong to forgive him, he wanted a divorce.

It turned out that Tang Peng was once sick and recuperated in a farmer's house, and that family had a daughter named Zheng Yuan, Tang Peng was sick and wanted to return to the team, Zheng Yuan was desperate to go to the army with him, and his parents couldn't help it, so they could only ask Tang Peng to help take care of their daughter. After Zheng Yuan entered the army, he separated from Tang Peng, and the two did not intersect after that.

After the victory of the war, Tang Peng's military region art show made him recognize the host on the stage as Zheng Yuan at a glance. She is completely different from before, and now she is radiant and generous. When they met again a few years later, they were happy in their hearts, and the two met a few more times in private.

Soon after, the battalion commander got married and invited everyone to dinner, Tang Peng and Zheng Yuan were there. Tang Peng didn't know what was going on, he drank too much, and woke up in the morning and was in the same bed with Zheng Yuan.

Afterwards, he thought that maybe he couldn't help it, or maybe the reason was Zheng Yuan, and he didn't want to investigate it further. His first thought was to be responsible for Zheng Yuan, he knew that he was sorry for Cui Hong, but Cui Hong only had one name left in his mind, and his voice and smile had long been forgotten, and he would never make waves when he mentioned her.

Cui Hong felt that something was wrong with her ears, what did she hear, divorce, Tang Peng wanted a divorce, she shook her head, she must have heard it wrong. She smiled and asked Tang Peng if he was joking, but he couldn't talk about divorce casually.

Tang Peng, who was kneeling on the ground, straightened his back, looked at her with a serious face, and re-expressed his determination to divorce.

Cui Hong couldn't understand what Tang Peng was saying at all, only to see his mouth open and close, as if he was reciting a mantra, which made her brain hurt.

She slapped her ears hard, burst into tears, knelt in front of Tang Peng in disbelief, and prayed humbly.

Tang Peng's face did not have a trace of waves, and he was calm, as if he was dealing with an inconsequential matter, as if he was talking about what breakfast he had in the morning.

She asked Tang Peng to give her an explanation, she served her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and was worthy of their Tang family, and finally became an abandoned woman. She cried for two hours, and Tang Peng let her beat and scold her on the ground, not fighting back, not getting up, and not replying.

Tang Peng said that the new era has freedom of marriage.

Tang Peng said that he was grateful to her, but he didn't love her.

Tang Peng said that he wanted to recognize her as a sister.

Tang Peng said that he has someone he likes.

Tang Peng said that the person was very good and could talk to him.

Tang Peng said: The new society must dare to pursue its own ideals.

Cui Hong thinks it's ridiculous, her daughter-in-law has become a younger sister, which is a new thing in Shili Eight Villages.

Some words are well thought out, and some things are done without regret.

Cui Hong didn't sleep all night, she splashed and rolled in the first half of the night, a shrew, and in the second half of the night she sat there quietly, like a statue, crying silently. She felt that there were not as many tears left in her life as this night, and her tears were probably dry. She hated herself, hated herself for being stupid, and looked forward to the return of the negative person day and night.

After that, until her death, she never shed a single tear again.
