Chapter 10 Just as first seen
Xiaobai found Ruyi's message and selfie in "Cranberry Secretary". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ruyi's selfie is virtual three-dimensional, and as soon as Xiaobai pressed the button, Ruyi stood vividly in front of everyone.
"Look, Auntie! Ruyi wants to say hello to you! Xiaobai stood up and pressed another button.
"Hello Grandma! I'll come back to see you on vacation, and you must take care of yourself when I'm away! The three-dimensional son-in-law Ruyi said cordially to Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the fourteen-year-old boy in front of her carefully in surprise.
"This little guy is about to become a young man after not seeing him for a year, and it's rare that he still has his aunt and grandmother!" Aunt Lin said tremblingly and smiled with satisfaction.
"Auntie, what do you want to say to Ruyi, I press the button, and you say to the robot phone, he will see it on the phone when Ruyi is free!" Xiaobai pressed on the "Cranberry Secretary".
"Auntie, what do you ......say?"
"Ruyi, good grandson, my aunt misses you, you will come back soon after the holiday, and my aunt will make you a good ...... to eat," said Aunt Lin and began to cry.
Seeing Aunt Lin's sad appearance, Lao Ma gestured to Xiaobai with his eyes.
"Auntie, don't be sad, now let's take a photo and send it to Ruyi, he saw you crying over there, and he was arguing with his mother to come back, then it would be troublesome!"
"Xiaobai is right, my aunt is old, and the old child is up......," Aunt Lin wiped the old tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Dad, you are also here, we are rarely together, take a photo and send it to Ruyi today!"
The old horse also came over.
"Ruyi, you see that the delicious food on the table behind us is made by my aunt and grandmother, we are waiting for you to come back and eat!" Xiaobai mischievously squeezed his eyes at the phone.
With the "click", everything is frozen in the lens of "Cranberry Secretary".
Taking advantage of the time when Jin Yidao returned to South Korea, Lao Ma had to rush back to the United States soon, otherwise Old Vincent would really jump off the building in a hurry!
I had only planned to return to Xiamen for three days, but who would have thought that I would meet that disfigured mysterious woman on the beach?
From the first time he saw the mysterious woman, the old horse could not calm down, and all those things that had been buried by time in the depths of his soul came out of the cracks in the stones.
Those things tormented the old horse day and night, making him look back at the old days like an old man on the verge of decay.
He wondered if such a situation would be a blessing or a curse.
The old horse didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to answer it.
Because a man of his age has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he has been polished from a green stone full of edges and corners to the river of time to be round and recognizable.
Like a piece of seed wrapped in impurities, after a violent movement of the earth's crust, it rolled down from the shaking mountain with ice and snow, and the turbulent Jade Dragon Kashgar River accepted his rebirth with tolerance.
The river caressed his body and his skin for many years, and the river of years and years flowed silently through the river of years.
The rough skin covered with impurities was washed away, and finally the true face of life was revealed—a piece of emperor general poured over each other, and a piece of mutton fat and Tianyu for which countries could wage wars!
Ancient Greece once fought for a beautiful woman named Helen, and the Chinese were just stones, the softest, delicate, white, and soft stones in the world!
The old horse took out the Zigang brand from his arms, the piece of mutton fat jade that he carried with him and never left him.
That was my mother's dowry back then.
can have such a rare marriage, but also because my mother's family was also prominent in the former ShangHai Beach.
This piece of Hetian jade is one of Lu Zigang's last works "Four Gentlemen".
The white, oily, and delicate jade has a few freehand strokes, but it has made a few wisps of red dust in the heart of the world.
Since the birth of the old horse, his mother has worn it on his body, and when he was three or four years old and curious all over the world, his mother told him that this is a gentleman's stone.
How many years have passed since this lost jade stone has become a part of his body, but is it really indistinguishable from each other?
He remembered every word of his mother, and he also understood his mother's expectations and good intentions for him Peiyu, but did he deserve the name of a gentleman?
Either die like a real gentleman, or live like a dog, this cruel world always makes people face such a dilemma, think about those years, I am just a humble member of the life......
Because of the arrival of this mysterious woman, does I really need to think about my life when I am busy?
This is no longer the thinking of a twenty-year-old young man, but more of a mockery of fate and a playfulness of time.
Lao Ma rushed back to the United States, and an hour before he went to the airport, he went to the hospital again.
The mysterious woman lies quietly on the hospital bed.
Director Huang told Lao Ma that since she woke up and had her first communication with Lao Ma, she had become very quiet, not noisy, not crying, and only occasionally asked the nurse Ma Weiguo when she would come to see her.
The old horse thought she was asleep and quietly sat down next to her.
"Weiguo, are you here? I guessed you'd be here today! "Actually, as soon as the old horse entered the ward, the woman felt it.
"Oh, oh, how are you doing these days?" Hearing the woman affectionately call herself "Defending the Country", Lao Ma was a little unaccustomed to it.
"I'm fine, it's just that I've been waiting for you for a long time......" the woman's voice was a little choked.
"I'm really sorry, I've been too busy these two days, and I'm going to the United States on a business trip today, and I'll come to see you every day when I come back from the United States."
Ma Weiguo did feel a little guilty, after seeing the woman that day, he didn't come to the hospital because he accompanied Xiaobai, but only learned about the woman's condition with Director Huang on the phone every day.
He and Xiaobai are also rare to be together for a few days.
"Weiguo, can you tell me in detail about the things between us, after you left that day, I thought about it, I still didn't think of anything about Xiaoya and Ma Weiguo."
"Oh, oh...... Xiao, Xiaoya, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly...... "The old horse was sweating a little, and he was a little nervous when he saw the woman that day, how do I have to tell the woman today?"
"Xiao, Xiaoya, in fact, we have known each other for a long, long time......" Lao Ma said word by word, and paused for a moment.
"Weiguo, tell me well......" the woman said earnestly, her pale slender hand groping for the old horse.
The old horse grabbed the poor cold little hand into the palm of his hand.
"A long, long time ago, there was a boy who had a good time at the beach, and he came to Gulangyu Island with his mother from ShangHai to see his grandfather. After a morning of playing, he remembered that it was time for lunch, and he hurried home.
When he reached the mouth of the alley, he heard a pleasant piano sound wafting from his old house, but it was not the sound of his mother's piano, who was a famous pianist, and she never played such a vignette, but in ShangHai her students had to practice.
Although this is a simple "Maiden's Prayer", it is played sadly and softly, and the girl's heart rises and falls in this spring alley along the gentle sea breeze.
Last night, the rain and dew hanging on the branches were blown by the breeze and ticked down on the mossy stone road, and fell on the bluestone house with a few weeds hanging on it, and a kitten was startled by the rain and dew and jumped behind the stone wall.
In the quiet long alley, only the sound of the piano taps on the heart window of every passer-by......"
The old horse was completely immersed in the memories of the past as he spoke, and the "Maiden's Prayer" by Badatevska sounded leisurely in the depths of his soul, and the row of black and white undulating keys knocked on the heavy door of his heart that had not been opened for a long time.
The room was very quiet, except for the old horse's narration.
"Pushing open the door of the house, I saw a girl stand up from the piano and bow to her mother, who applauded her.
Hearing the door, the girl turned her eyes to me, what a pair of innocent eyes, clean and transparent, and then the girl lowered her head and looked at her feet, a shy red cloud floated over her face, and at that moment my world was completely lit up!
My mother introduced me to her student Ameya, who had come to Gulangyu for a vacation......
That was our first meeting, Xiaoya......"
The woman listened quietly, and in the dark world of gauze masking, the moss-reborn and green ancient alleys appeared in front of her eyes.
Strings of lively golden cannonball flowers can't help but stick their heads out of the rows of stone walls in loneliness; Blown by the wind, drop by drop rain and dew fell from the tall and dense oak trees at the entrance of the alley wrapped in sunlight; A cute black and white kitten pokes its head at the end of an alley......
This beautiful scene was just a strange encounter for her.
However, the woman loves to listen to the story of the man in front of her who has not yet met, and there is a sense of security in his voice, and the woman holds his warm hand trustingly.
On the way to the airport, Lao Ma was sincerely relieved of the mysterious woman on the one hand, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but worship him.
How many years have he not opened his heart to anyone, but today he confided in a disfigured mysterious woman, which he himself did not expect, the old horse shook his head and smiled mockingly at himself in his heart.
He has always been an understatement to women, and although he has been married twice and has a lover, he is really not a womanizer.
Since he became rich, there have been hundreds of women who have surrounded him and thrown himself into his arms, but he has no interest in those women, he is a man who understands, he knows that those women are coming for the tickets in his pocket, he despises those women, he does not want and has no time to exchange money for those women's lewd bodies.
