The old man's voice trembled a little, and the hand holding the notebook also trembled a little, and the old lady lying on the bed had changed into a clean and tidy pajamas, lying quietly on the bed motionless, her chest rising and falling slightly, indicating that she was still alive.

Old man Li held the notebook and read: "June 18, 1954, I am nineteen years old, you are eighteen years old, the second baby in Dongzhuang said that you are very beautiful, I waited until the market and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads to see you, you are really beautiful, I like your big black braid the most, the second baby said that if anyone can marry you, you will die beautifully, I said I must marry you, and the second baby said that I am daydreaming of this stinky shit."

Yes, I was very poor at the time, so poor that I didn't even have a decent pair of pants, I only had one pair of pants all year round, and they were patched all over the year, but I still wanted to marry you. ”

"On July 2, 1954, it rained lightly, the pigs at home were sick, my father said let me go to the town to ask Liu Mazi in the east, he would treat the pigs, I saw you for the second time, you talked to me for the first time, but because I stupidly stepped on your feet, I didn't lift it up, my whole brain was blank at that time, I don't remember anything, I even forgot what you told me, I remember your big black braid, I didn't ask Liu Mazi how to treat the pig when I went home, the pig died, My dad beat me up so much that I didn't feel any pain, really, not at all. ”

Li Li and Li Wei were next to them, with their husbands, wives, and children, and the family quietly listened to the old man read the diary he kept when he was young, and he was already in tears.

Qi Weiwei only wiped her tears when she stood beside Mi Zixuan, if she wasn't afraid of disturbing the old man, Qi Weiwei would have already thrown herself into Mi Zixuan's arms and cried.

The old man stretched out his hand and dipped it in the smear, turned a page and continued: "I know I am poor, but I still want to marry you, I told my mother that I want to go to your house to propose, I said that I am a toad and want to eat swan meat, wishful thinking, I didn't eat anything that day, I couldn't eat, my mind was full of you."

In the evening, the second baby came to me, saying that the town was recruiting workers, and asked me if I would go, of course I wanted to go, because I could make money, and I wanted to make a lot of money to go to your house to propose. ”

"On August 6, 1954, it was still raining, God didn't know what was going on recently, I shed tears all day long, I was upset, I went to the town with Erwa in a hat, carrying cement for a factory, I saw you again, I didn't expect you to be so thin and come to do men's work, all men rushed to help you work, but you were stubborn, I thought you were really a good girl."

"On August 10, 1954, I heard from your fellow villagers that you came to do this work to treat your mother's illness, and I wanted to help you, but I didn't know how to help, and I didn't dare to talk to you, so I could only work with my life."

"On September 6, 1954, I finally worked for a month, this month I did a lot, more than the second baby, his dog day two are not as good as my one, he earned five yuan, I got twelve, I have never seen so much money when I grow so big, I saw you go to change, I secretly stuffed my money into your pocket, you know that this is like being a thief, I was so nervous that I was sweating.

When I went home, I said that I lost my salary, and I was pressed on the stool by my father and smoked, I still didn't feel pain, I kept giggling, so angry that my father whipped me more than ten times, if it wasn't for my mother to stop me, I might have been beaten to death by my father, but I am happy to die, because I helped you. ”

The old lady's eyelids moved at this point, but no one noticed it, and everyone was immersed in sadness, and in the love story of a silly boy and a beautiful girl with a shiny black whip in some yellowing era.

"On October 7, 1954, the second baby ran to my home like crazy and said that you came to me, I was helping my father feed the pigs, hearing this, I directly put the pot of pig food on my father's head, I was already unconscious, otherwise how could I do such a thing, afterwards my father was so angry that he beat me again, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you finally came to me, but what disappointed me is that you came to pay me back, I didn't dare to talk to you, I didn't dare to ask how you know that the money was given to you by me, Just stupidly pinching the money to watch you leave, we stayed before and after for less than two minutes. ”

Qi Weiwei leaned on Mi Zixuan's arms and pursed her lips desperately to prevent herself from crying, I don't know when Mi Zixuan was surrounded by people, including doctors, nurses, patients, and family members, all of whom didn't dare to make any noise, and didn't want to disturb the old man and his wife inside.

A child suddenly ran over, only to be picked up by his father and covered his mouth to prevent him from making any noise.

"December 27, 1954, I haven't seen you for a long time, I feel that after hundreds of years, I feel that I can't marry you, you may have been married at this time, there is not enough dung in the village, my father gathered us young people together, let us push the cart to the town and county at night to steal dung, I don't want to go, it stinks, I am afraid that I will be seen by you, you will avoid it far away, but I finally went, we want to save dung, and the spring is good to draw fertilizer.

When we arrived in the county, we met the people in your village, they also came to grab the dung, I actually saw you, I never thought that you a girl would be used to do such dirty work, I looked at you blankly, the second baby and the people in your village I didn't find out, you seem to be stunned, just stand there, the second baby was beaten in a hurry, with a dung fork picked up and smashed the people in your village, but was pushed by someone, the dung fork smashed at you, I pounced, and then I didn't know anything.

When I woke up, I found that I was in the county hospital, smelly all over my body, those doctors and nurses were far away from me, my head hurt, but when I saw you, it didn't hurt, and I smirked at you, but soon I couldn't laugh, this time it was a big trouble, hurt a lot of people, the public security came and arrested us, and you, the two of us were locked up together, I knew that we were going to go to jail if we didn't make a good fuss, I was scared, but as soon as I saw you, I wasn't afraid. ”

"On December 30, 1954, we were all released, you walked at the end, the second baby and they still scolded each other with the people in your village, I also came to the end, this is the first time I talked to you, I was stupid enough to ask you what you ate at noon, I am really a fool, we are locked together, the food is the same, but you laughed, the first time I saw you laugh, I will never forget your smile."

"February 6, 1955, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, what do you eat at home? My mother said to make dumplings for me today, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, I don't know if your family eats the same? ”

"On February 28, 1955, the last day of this month, the town is recruiting again, will you go?"

"On March 1, 1955, you really came, I was cold, because my clothes were too torn, but I don't think you are cold, all the men still revolve around you, but I don't dare to go over, for fear that you will see me dressed so shabby and look down on me."

The old lady suddenly opened her eyes at this time, and her cloudy eyes bloomed with luster, and the old lady suddenly whispered: "I will look down on you, what good clothes did you have at that time?" The torn cotton jacket is so torn that it is almost out of cotton. ”

Uncle Li put down the diary violently, grabbed his wife's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Old woman, are you awake, do you remember everything?" ”

The old lady didn't remember anyone many years ago, she was so old, so old that she forgot everyone, forgot her husband, forgot her children, and even forgot what her name was, but today she remembers.

The old lady smiled and said, "Why are you saying this?" Am I going to forget those things? ”

Li Li grabbed her mother's other hand and choked up, "Mom, I'm Lili." ”

Li Wei's seven-foot-tall man was so excited that he couldn't say a word at this time, and kept wiping his tears.

The old lady turned her head with great effort and said, "Are you all here?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Old woman, we are all here, all of us." ”

The old lady looked at the old man and smiled: "When you married me, your poor family didn't even have two catties of eggs, and I had to steal our eggs for you. Speaking of this, the old lady looked at her son and sighed: "Boss, when you married your daughter-in-law, you were much stronger than your mother, you bought a bicycle for your daughter-in-law, how expensive the bicycle is, your father ran to give people anti-cement in the winter in order to raise money for you, and his waist almost broke." ”

Li Wei cried "wow".

In fact, at this time, everyone knew that the old lady was returning to the light and was going to leave soon.

The old man wiped his tears and said hurriedly: "Old woman, do you remember what song you like to listen to the most?" ”

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a song that my grandson listened to, it's very good, why do I like this song?" ”

The old man said excitedly: "Because this song is called Elena, you are also called Elena, a foreign name, much stronger than other girls in your village, either called Feng, or called He Ni, rustic to death." ”

The old lady laughed, this name is indeed her pride, very foreign name.

The old man hurriedly said at this time: "Which of you will play this song for your mother." ”

There was chaos in the ward immediately, no one expected that the old lady would wake up suddenly, let alone that he would listen to this song, and the old man's grandson reacted the fastest, picking up his mobile phone and downloading it.

At this time, Mi Zixuan pushed open the ward and said, "No need, I can sing this song." Speaking of this, Qi Weiwei said: "I have a guitar in my office, you bring it." "This guitar was still used by Mi Zixuan when he sang on Nurses' Day when he was an intern at Beijing Medical University, and Xuanying has always kept it.
