On the banks of the Qingyang River, some native neem trees, willow trees, and black locust trees stretch and take root on the slope of the riverbed. The canopy of the trees is lush and oily, swaying frequently under the blowing of the wind gods, like a sea of green one after another, spanning the air. Beneath these scattered trees, the brittle and smiling faces of the reeds are set off. It's eye-catching!

The surface of the river is rippling with blue waves, and under the violent light of the summer sun, it looks mottled. In Hanoi, lotus flowers are scrambling to break free from the green leaves. Sticking his head out and peeking out: the cloudless blue sky overhead. A gentle breeze blows slowly and penetrates deep into the heart. The birds stood on the branches and sang merrily on the reeds. Praise the beauty of nature!

However, by the river, which is so beautiful that people can't forget to leave, sits a teenager with his head bowed and sobbing. This teenager is none other than Lu Zhiyi, the son of the Lu family. At this moment, his mind echoed over and over again: in the morning, every word his father said to him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged!

Lu Zhiyi was thinking about the sad thing, but he didn't know at all: his younger brothers and sisters were all standing behind him tremblingly, their brows furrowed, their eyes seemed to be focused, staring at him without blinking. At this moment, the heart was beating violently "poof, poof", all hanging in the throat. It made them feel extremely depressed. It's like I'm about to suffocate!

Yesterday, Lu Zhiyi stood aside and watched coldly: Dad made up lies and perfunctory Hao Yan's second aunt - Aunt Cai Yulu. made him feel: Dad is an adult, and he is also a hypocrite who lies a lot. After eating dinner, he returned to his room in extreme depression, and finally restrained his easily agitated emotions and finished the homework assigned by the teacher that day. I moved my legs mechanically to the side of the bed and made a "bang", and there was a stiff close-up "big" word on the bed!

Lu Zhiyi closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind. It would be better to be able to enter the dream right away, but he was soon disappointed. Because, his thoughts have already flown to the clouds. I can't get it back!

Lu Zhiyi thought of it: the year he just remembered, his grandfather and grandmother told him that Uncle Hao's niece had made a "baby kiss" with him, and he could "play home" with him forever in the future. Although, at a young age, he still can't understand the meaning of "baby pro" and "playing house". However, when he thought of Hao Yan's innocent and delicate face, he jumped so high with joy!

Whenever he saw Hao Yan jumping to the house, Lu Zhiyi always rushed up to hug him first: this godsister who can "play home" together forever. Every time he was with her, he felt his heart jumping "poof, poof". There is always a special kind of emotion, which continues to stretch and sublimate in the heart!

Lu Zhiyi remembered that when he was nine years old, he and his neighbors' children, younger brothers and sisters, and Hao Yan were chasing and frolicking with each other by the Toyota River, while bending down from time to time to pick green, pink needle grass, greedily inhaling the fresh, sweet taste of grass juice. That kind of wonderful feeling is more than the taste of today's children swallowing ice cream!

Suddenly, a "Ah" girl shout exploded out of thin air, followed by a "poof" sound of someone falling into the water. These two voices hit Lu Zhiyi's eardrums like thunder, and he was so shocked that he followed the sound to the river. Only then did I realize that it turned out that Hao Yan, who was walking beside her, fell into the water somehow. At this moment, she is waving her delicate arms in the water, shouting: Help me, save me----

At that time, the seven-year-old Hao Yan, who had caught a glimpse of the water, was obviously getting weaker and weaker under the cruel and merciless impact of the water waves. Lu Zhiyi's heart socket was like someone suddenly inserting a sharp knife. His heart was torn apart and bleeding out, and it hurt very much! So, he didn't care about taking off his coat and kicking off his shoes, vibrating his arms and jumping into the water without hesitation, choking on several mouthfuls of water and trying to eat milk before dragging Hao Yan ashore.

When Lu Zhiyi returned home panting like a "soup chicken" and carrying Hao Yan, who was also like a "soup chicken", grandma's mouth couldn't close with a smile, and she couldn't stop muttering: Hehe, at a young age, you know that you love your wife. Ouch, it's amazing! When I grew up, I didn't take her into ----

Lu Zhiyi, who didn't know anything about the world, shyly replied: Grandma, we just saw Yan'er's sister fall into the water and saved her. What are you talking nonsense? He turned his head and called his mother to change Hao Yan's clothes, and he returned to the bedroom exhausted and changed into wet clothes.

Lu Zhiyi will never forget: when he was eleven years old, he and his neighbor's children, younger brothers and sisters were humming a song they had just learned from school, holding a small glass bottle in one hand and a matchstick in the other.

Suddenly, Lu Ya's angry voice entered Lu Zhiyi's ears: Xiao Shanzi, how can you take Hao Yan's wild bee? Suddenly hearing his sister mention the name of "Hao Yan", he couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him. I saw: Xiao Shanzi violently pushed down Hao Yan, and a big stone lay behind Hao Yan.

The scene in front of him made Lu Zhiyi feel his heart, and Huo Di suddenly tightened again. A thought spontaneously arose in his heart: Oh, something is wrong! Immediately, he rushed over with his steps, and pushed Hao Yan away with both hands. He then fell on his side on the stone, his brow furrowed and he gritted his teeth in pain. He also clearly heard Lu Li's angry voice: Brother Zhiyi, how can you not want your own life for the sake of Sister Yan'er?

One day when he was fourteen years old, Lu Zhiyi saw that the frames of his grandfather and grandmother's portraits were too thick and too thick, so he muttered inexplicably: Hey, the frames of other people's ancestors are always extremely thin. Why is our photo frame so thick?

Most children of Lu Zhiyi's age will always have a great curiosity about some things that they can't understand. In this regard, boys have more exploration energy than girls who "want to know the result". At that time, the more I thought about it, the more incredible Lu Zhiyi became, so he opened the two photo frames. Then, some photos, stationery and other things fell on the table.

Lu Zhiyi picked up those photos and focused his eyes on them. But I understood: It turned out that it was all photos of him and Hao Yan. From when he was five years old, he hugged the three-year-old Hao Yan, to when he was nine years old, he carried Hao Yan on his back like a "soup chicken". Every year, a group photo is taken. He couldn't help muttering to himself: Hey, who took so many group photos? Why didn't Hao Yan and me hide in two frames?

Then, Lu Zhiyi picked up the letter paper, and what caught his eye was the two thick red fonts of "Marriage Contract". The following is as follows: On October 24, 1958, Hao Jian voluntarily agreed with Lu Jianhua on the following matters. Content: Hao Jian and Cai Yulu have been married for many years and have not given birth. was extremely helpless, so he could only pass Yang Lin and Cai Yuhua's child Yan'er into the heir of the Hao family. Today, I entrust Sister Zhu Yu to help breastfeed, and in the future, I will definitely match Yan'er to: Zhiyi, the son of the Lu family. Lu Jianhua paid Hao Jian twenty-four silver dollars as a dowry for his eldest son Zhiyi to marry Hao Yan.

At the end of the letter, it is specially circled with red ink: this contract is in eight copies, one copy for each of the Lu family, the Hao family, the Yang family, and the Chen family, and one copy for the authoritative figures in their respective government departments and families. From the date of the conclusion of the contract, the contractor, Hao Jian and Lu Jianhua, shall not repent. Cai Yulu and Zhu Yu must also abide by this contract together! Contractors: Hao Jian, Lu Jianhua. Witness to the Covenant: Yang Lin, Cai Yuhua, Chen Haifeng, Zhu Yin. Date of Contract: October 24, 1958.

Lu Zhiyi remembered that when he was young, he always thought that what his grandfather and grandmother said were just some jokes to coax him. Even if he dreamed of "One Thousand and One Nights", he would never have thought that what the two old men said was true!

When I think of Hao Yan, who is delicate and gentle, she will be her wife in the future. Lu Zhiyi was like drinking honey, sweet to the heart! He hummed the song excitedly, and leisurely reinstalled the photo frame and placed it in its original position.

Looking at the portrait, the grandfather and grandmother who smiled at themselves. Lu Zhiyi secretly made up his mind: In the future, we must redouble our efforts to study and strive to be admitted to high school and university. After graduating from college, he married Hao Yan when his job was stable. Definitely don't let Hao Yan look down on herself!

The next day, the bell rang for the end of class, and Lu Zhiyi no longer used to play happily for ten minutes between classes. Instead, he immediately took out his books to do his homework, reviewed his homework, and after returning home to help his mother do some housework, he quickly threw himself into intense study. Sometimes, it even reaches the point of "forgetting to sleep and eat"!

That year, Lu Zhiyi's grades rose from the eighteenth place in the class to the eighth place in the grade. At this time, the neighbors around the Lu family all asked in front of Zhu Yu: Mrs. Lu, for a long time, I haven't seen your family Zhiyi playing crazy outside. Now, he has achieved such good results in the exam. Could it be that Principal Lu has set any rules to restrain him? Zhu Yu said happily: How can a child be strictly restrained?

The listener is always incredulous and surprised, and says, "Hey, no one in your family has made a rule to bind him." How did this kid suddenly become sensible? The other one also jokingly echoed: In my opinion, Mrs. Lu, she is not telling the truth. She was afraid that if we knew Principal Lu's method of teaching her children, her family Zhiyi would encounter strong opponents in her studies in the future. If it were me, I would definitely not give a trace of the excellent godson method to others! Mrs. Lu, we should be right?

Zhu Yu really couldn't imagine that the child's change in his attitude towards learning would also cause unnecessary speculation among the neighbors. She felt that her head was not easy to use at all. I can't think of a suitable reason to answer these neighbors. Her brow furrowed and scratched her ears and cheeks!

Lu Zhiyi, who was doing his homework in the house, heard word for word: the conversation between the neighbors and his mother. The heart of a teenager is the most sensitive. He vaguely felt that his grades had improved and he had earned enough face for his father and mother. So, he happily ran to the door of the house, and said with a smile: "Uncles and aunts, my father really didn't set any rules for me to restrict me from studying. Mom was right!

Hearing this, the neighbors were all dumbfounded. After a while, someone pulled Lu Zhiyi and asked with a smile: Zhiyi, I remember that every day after school, you always like to lead your playmates to do their homework in the classroom, and then go to the playground to kick shuttlecock, skip rope, hopscotch, play copper coins, or go to the river to frolic and chase and play. Then you say, why don't you suddenly go to play with your playmates?

Lu Zhiyi thought to himself: Hao Yan is my future wife. For the sake of her growing up, she won't dislike me badly. That's why I'm studying so hard. However, for this reason. I'm going to keep it rotting in my stomach. Thinking of this, he proudly said, "Haha, the specific reason." Then keep it a secret!

As he spoke, Lu Zhiyi broke free and took his big hand and ran into the house. provoked the neighbors to point to his back, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: Hey, this kid, at a young age, knows how to play tricks. Hee-hee, that's funny!

When he was sixteen years old, Lu Zhiyi once had the courage to ask Hao Yan: Eh, sister Yan, our two families had an agreement before. Do you know? When the question was raised, he looked at Hao Yan anxiously. A heart, then "poof, poof" jumped wildly. I don't know why, he is very afraid that the Hao family hasn't told Hao Yan about that matter!

Until, seeing Hao Yan blushing and nodding embarrassedly. Lu Zhiyi's heart calmed down. Then, he felt again: Just now, he asked Hao Yan directly the question that should have been made public by the parents of both parties. It seemed too abrupt! A touch of pig blood immediately went from his cheeks to his neck. He snorted and said: Sister Yan, we also knew about this matter by accident. Mom and Dad didn't tell me, so I hope you don't think about it!

When Hao Yan heard this, she thought: Brother Zhiyi, it turns out that we both made a curiosity and only knew the truth of the matter. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Immediately, he whispered: Brother Zhiyi, I really didn't expect that we were both "illegal peeping"!

When Lu Zhiyi heard this, he laughed and said: Sister Yan, it turns out that we are both villains. Tell you, after we knew that we would be husband and wife in the future, I tried my best to study, in order not to let you underestimate my husband in the future. After we graduate from college, we will definitely marry you in style and be my wife!

When Hao Yan heard this, she thought: Brother Zhiyi, I am very affectionate to me, and we should also live this life with you reasonably. What's more, you also saved our lives twice. How can we still have a reason to need you to be a "perfect" person! However, she knows that people are extremely face-saving, and these words in her heart must not be said to Brother Zhiyi!

So, Hao Yan was so embarrassed that her face was crimson, and she said shyly like a mosquito: Brother Zhiyi, no matter what happens to you in the future, I will live with you. You don't have to study so hard for me. I just want you to have a good time!" Lu Zhiyi hugged Hao Yan violently and hugged his petite body. put his mouth to her ear and said: Sister Yan, as your godbrother, we should ensure that you will have a happy life in the future. Don't say anything, my brother must continue to work hard!

Since that time when the two of them showed their hearts, Lu Zhiyi has redoubled his studies. Last year, he actually got the fourth place in the exam. Even he himself was surprised! After thinking about it, he finally understood that he was able to achieve such excellent results, in the final analysis, because of the huge power of "love"!

However, for the sake of Aunt Li, an outsider, Dad has recently quarreled frequently with Uncle Hao. Lu Zhiyi looked anxious in his eyes: Dad, you know that our family and the Hao family have made a "marriage contract" with Hao Yan. Why do you want to "deliberately" sabotage Uncle Hao's affairs, and why can't you think about it for your son?

Thinking and thinking, tears were like the "flood that opened the floodgates", scrambling to squeeze out Lu Zhiyi's eyes. It's pouring like a waterfall! Even if there is a "universal brand" absorbent cotton, I'm afraid it can't be absorbed. What's more, this teenager lying on his back always thinks in his heart: Because, Dad "turned his elbow out" stubbornly hurt Uncle Hao. He and Hao Yan are about to break up completely! Where is he still in the mood to wipe the tears that are rushing out one after another and wantonly violating his cheeks?

So, this night, Lu Zhiyi was thinking about the sad past, and he couldn't sleep with tears streaming down his face. The next day, when he woke up and opened his eyes, he found that the pillow and quilt under his head had turned into a large wet patch. If you reach out and twist it, you can definitely wring out a bucket of water. He couldn't help laughing at himself: Hey, it turns out that we are so vulnerable!

Suddenly, Lu Zhiyi saw his father rushing into the kitchen from the window. He couldn't help but reverie again: Hey, tiger poison doesn't eat children. Why don't I get down on my knees and beg my father, maybe he will be touched by my "bitter ploy". I will never quarrel with Uncle Hao again for Aunt Li's affairs!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyi jumped up suddenly, quickly got dressed, pulled his slippers, and ran into the kitchen to kneel down in front of his father, pleading with tears in his eyes. However, what chilled him was that his father actually pulled him up and scolded him for Aunt Li. When he tried to kneel down again, Dad dragged him and kicked him out of the kitchen.

Although, my mother was so distressed that she gave herself a warm hug. However, Lu Zhiyi understands that his mother has a gentle and kind personality, and she will never offend anyone. What's more, Dad is still her eldest aunt. She will never use her fierce energy to entangle her father, and she will never let him out of the door of the road house again. This kind of unreasonable approach, my mother will definitely not be able to do it!

Lu Zhiyi couldn't stand this kind of stimulation, he was extremely bored and finished breakfast, so he led his younger brother and sister into the classroom with a heavy heart. Then, he rushed into his classroom. He also thought that as the class bell rang, the strict classroom discipline could make him forget the endless troubles in his heart and seriously devote himself to the tense review atmosphere. He is still the same enterprising Lu Zhiyi as before!

However, Lu Zhiyi was soon extremely disappointed to find that when he listened to the teacher's speech in his ears, it always became: the sound of his father and Uncle Hao arguing, and on the blackboard he was looking at, the teacher's algebraic solution formula written in thick white chalk became a picture of Dad and Uncle Hao arguing from time to time. Finally, he broke down completely!

As soon as class ended, Lu Zhiyi rushed out of the south gate of the school and rushed to the Qingyang River located on the east side of the school courtyard wall. Frightened, his younger brothers and sisters all nervously followed him and ran briskly. Poor, the two youngest children of the Lu family don't know what happened. Lu Yao ran out of breath while asking Lu Zhihao: Little brother, why did the big brother run so fast?

Lu Zhihao only knows: These days, Dad always quarrels with the villain Uncle Hao. However, he didn't know that Hao Yan, the niece of the villain Uncle Hao, was his future sister-in-law. So, for Lu Yao's question, he could only answer: Well, we don't know the reason! Lu Yao was extremely disappointed and muttered to himself: Hey, my little brother is two years older than me, how can I not understand my big brother's mind?

At this moment, Lu Zhiyi's shoulders shook violently as if they were being wantonly violated by Xue'er in the cold wind. Next to him sat Lu Ya and Lu Zhiming, and they took out their handkerchiefs from time to time to wipe the tears on the eldest brother's face. is taking turns to persuade: Big brother, Dad has always been careful and cautious in his work. That Uncle Hao may not be able to find out the truth! Don't cry anymore, you have to go to class later!

Lu Zhiyi choked up and said: Hmph, there is no impermeable wall in the world. If you don't understand, you don't have to do anything unless you don't do it! Dad is so unreasonable, what should I go to school? If you two don't understand, leave me alone! Lu Ya blurted out: We are relatives with you, and you are so heartbroken. How can we still be in the mood to listen carefully?

Lu Zhiming also helped on the side: Big brother, Dad has never done anything bad in his life. I believe that the Bodhisattva will definitely bless him, and his plan will be foolproof! Lu Zhiyi shook his head and sighed and said: Hey, how can there be so many good things in the world? In a class just now, when I looked at the blackboard in front of me, what caught my eyes was: Father and Mother quarreled, and Uncle Hao and Father fisted and kicked each other. With so much going on at home, how can I still be in the mood to sit in the classroom and listen to the teacher calmly!

At this time, Lu Li, who had been watching all this silently, couldn't help but grit her teeth and say: Hmph, it's all to blame on that Aunt Li. If it weren't for her, Dad wouldn't have quarreled with Uncle Hao. This woman is really an abominable scourge. Lu Yao, who was in a daze, threw the question in his heart to Lu Li when he heard the words: Second sister, what is a harmful spirit?

At this moment, Lu Li, looking at the eldest brother with a cheerful personality in the past, was also in tears. I really hate "Li Yue" in my heart! Lu Yao's inquiry made her feel even more uncomfortable. So, she said angrily: Hmph, I told you. You won't get it!

As he spoke, Lu Zhiyi stood up suddenly, looked up at the blue sky, raised his arms and shouted: God, why are you torturing me like this. You're so ruthless!" he screamed with indignation, and he dragged a branch and pumped it violently into the water. Immediately, it was as if someone had thrown a bomb into the water, and it immediately exploded in pieces. The splashing waves are better than the waves, and they are magnificent!
