On a sunny afternoon, in a small café owned by the White Russians, my sister and I sat by the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but stir the steaming coffee in our hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The smell of strong fragrance suddenly spread with the stirring, bringing a burst of sweet fragrance.

"Ah Zhao, my sister is leaving too!" As she spoke, the sister tossed a sugar cube into the coffee and stirred it gently with a silver spoon.

"Hmm." I whispered yes and didn't say much.

"Why are you following him without asking me?" My sister asked.

I picked up the white porcelain cup on the table and took a sip, then replied: "Sister, I still remember what my mother said before leaving, in fact, I received a phone call on the day my father's accident, and it was my second aunt's wife."

Sister Xiuli's face was a little surprised when she heard Xiao Gu's call, "So you only knew that all of us were at the police station?" ”

I nodded, "She told me a lot of things, including Mr. Gu's past, and her past with Mr. Gu. ”

"I know what she said." My sister was still stirring the coffee in her hand, and her voice was clearer, "Do you remember what I said to you before we got married?" ”

"Naturally, I remember."

"Then you have to remember the next words. This may be the last time our sisters will talk, don't worry, my sister won't take her own life. It's just that this war is chaotic, and I'm afraid that it won't be easy to meet in the future, so I'll tell you while we are still meeting. ”

I looked up at my sister's suddenly serious expression, nodded solemnly, and listened.

"Before, I suspected that Cheng Yun was killed by Gu Rulin, so I wanted to find out the truth by marrying him. But after more than two years of checking and checking, I suddenly got tired of it. After the Mu Bo incident, I thought about it carefully again and felt that whether he did it or not, it was already like this. I had made a deal with Shaoqing and promised to help his organization. Now that the Communist Party has been officially established and others have gone to work in Guangzhou, although our agreement has been terminated, I find that there are still things I can help with in the cause he is doing, so I will still do my part. As for the rest of the past, since I have come this far, I have no choice but to go on. My sister said, took a sip of coffee, and sighed, "It's just that in this life, my sister has finally missed your happiness!" ”

"Sister!" I glanced out the window at the Gu family who was about to walk towards us, and said to her, "Don't say anything, I understand!" It's just, have you really forgiven Mr. Gu? ”

"Forgiveness? I don't know if he did it, and I don't want to know about it. All I know is that we are about to go to Beiping, and I am already his wife! ”

I don't speak anymore, yes, all the dreamlike rights and wrongs have woken up, that beautiful peach blossom dream, whether it is me and Gu Shaoqing, or my sister and Brother Chengyun when I was young, have become old shadows in the torrent of years.

Sitting here now, one is the wife of Gu Rulin, the former Minister of Education, and the other is the daughter-in-law of He Jiuming, Minister of Communications.

Time was silent for a moment, the door of the café was gently opened from the outside, and Gu Rulin walked in, saying goodbye to me with a smile: "It's time, we should also go." Ah Zhao, regret it for a while. ”

I got up, looked at him and my sister calmly, and smiled: "Sister and brother-in-law, take care all the way."

My sister stood up, and suddenly felt a deep reluctance, she took out a sealed letterhead from her handbag on the side, and said to me: "Ah Zhao, my sister is gone, I don't know when I will see you again, this is a little parting gift for you, you go back and see it." I'm leaving, and you're going to ...... Take care! As she spoke, she pushed away the chair and was about to leave with Mr. Gu.

"Sister!"

She turned to look at me and said word by word, "Ah Zhao, take care of yourself!"

"Sister." I pursed my lips, endured the sadness, and finally said, "You too!"

With that, he threw himself at her and threw himself into his sister's arms.

Seeing my sister away, I opened the sealed letterhead and saw the letter left by Gu Shaoqing:

Zhao, when you read this letter, I think I have left Nanjing, the city I love and hate.

Forgive me, after all, it pushed you to someone else. Forgive me, I forcibly pulled you into my arms at the beginning of the story, if I hadn't drawn you into this avoidable impasse, maybe you would be happier now.

It's a pity that the world always likes to joke with us, and if everything could be done all over again, I would probably still approach you without hesitation and fall in love with you.

Every little bit I was with you was so happy, even if my father and sister got married successfully, I still don't regret every decision I made. I love you and love you wholeheartedly, just like the farewell letter you wrote to me, but unfortunately, this love can only accompany you here.

From the moment I began to give up on being together, this love had turned into an eternal memory in my heart. I will not make any far-fetched excuses for my irresponsibility, and I will not appear in your life as a lover again.

I know that Uncle Tong loves you, and he has never said it, just for fear that it will cause you unnecessary psychological burden, which I knew a long time ago.

Now that I am erecting the banner of our nation on a high ground in the south, there is no need to remember me or worry about me. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. As long as you are doing well enough, no matter where I am in the world, I will be happy and relieved by this.

If there is an afterlife, I will be a bird, no matter where you are in the world, I will try my best to fly to you and stay with you for the rest of my life.

In this life, let's always be the most important brothers and sisters in each other's lives.

Love your brother

January of the 11th year of the Republic of China

I sat still, only to hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, Uncle He walked in with an umbrella, and when he saw me looking up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile: "Seeing that it's going to rain, I'll take you home."

When it rained in autumn again, the rain in Nanjing was pouring down, and it seemed that it would never end. In the afternoon of this day, the sky finally cleared, and Ah Heng was jumping up and down at home noisily, and I had to take him to the Confucius Temple to watch the lantern show.

In desperation, I had to tell my grandmother and Lao He to prepare the car.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the flow of people in Confucius Temple has increased a lot, and many people have taken advantage of this rare sunny day to take their children out to watch the lantern festival, which made Lao He unable to find a parking place for a while.

"The young grandmother and the little boy will wait here first, and when the old slave parks the car over there, we will start visiting the temple fair."

I took Ah Heng's little hand, smiled and nodded, and let Lao He go to park.

"Mother, look at you, Ah Heng knows that there are the most people here, and Daddy and grandfather really didn't lie to Ah Heng."

I smiled and twisted Ah Heng's little nose, bowed my head and said to him seriously: "Ah Heng wants to follow his mother closely, do you know?" There are a lot of people here, don't run around, otherwise you won't see your father and grandfather, and Ah Heng will cry. ”

Ah Heng agreed, holding my hand and being happy. But where is the child's qualitative, but after a while, I was attracted by the sister who sold the little lantern festival on the roadside, and ran over without my hand.

"Mother, mother, I want to eat the little Lantern Festival, give me the copper plate!" Ah Heng waved his little hand and shouted at me.

I looked at him with a smile, and was about to pass with my grandmother, when a pair of slender and powerful hands had already handed over the copper plate.

"Little sister, come to five bowls of small Lantern Festival, remember to put more red beans."

Ah Heng looked at the stranger in front of him with wide eyes, and quickly ran over with his little short legs, hugged me and said, "Mother, who is he?"

Gu Shaoqing, who hadn't seen me for many years, turned around, looked at me and smiled slowly.

I also solemnly picked up Ah Heng, pointed to the man in front of me and said to him, "Ah Heng, this is Uncle Shaoqing!"
