Once again, we sat on the highest ridge of the Cui family's mansion.

You fall on your back, and I sit next to you with my knees folded.

We each looked at the stars and moon in the sky. Silence.

We heard the sound of the patrol in the village gathering sounding at our feet, and gradually drifted away. We watched as the lights in the village went out one by one.

You say, "If only our mothers were still alive." ”

I said sadly, "yes." Unfortunately, they are gone. ”

You say, "But we can't wait." ”

You say, "Qin'er, when my father comes back after sending Wenhou Shibo to the next station, I will go and talk to my father myself." ”

My heart was beating violently. I shook my head.

"Why, don't you want to?" You say, "Auntie won't help us with that." ”

However, in that era, it was very shocking for men and women of the world to give and receive each other privately without going through matchmaking.

I felt terrified, wondering what my father would think about it. As a foster daughter, if my father has something that I can't understand, or if I suspect that I am scheming, how will I deal with myself at home in the future? If you go straight to the point, if Father doesn't agree, we won't have any chances. Moreover, if it doesn't go well, how awkward it will be for our family to meet in the future, and how will we get along with each other?

Just when I was hesitating, a person suddenly appeared in my mind: Uncle Ding Youren! Your mother's own brother, your own uncle, the uncle who loves you the most, the uncle who responds to your needs! If the uncle was willing to come forward to talk to his father about the family matter and persuade him to agree, the matter would be much more logical.

I said, "Perhaps, you can talk to your uncle first?" ”

Your eyes light up all at once. You say, "Yes!" Uncle! ‘

You sit up from the roof with a thud. You say, "I'm going to Linshui to find my uncle!" ”

You say, "But before I do, I'm going back to camp." I was in such a hurry to get home that I didn't finish a lot of things and didn't give them an account. ”

You say, "Qin'er, you're waiting for me at home." I'll be sure to be back in two or three days at the latest. I'm sure I'll be able to talk about my uncle. ”

I nodded. I said, "Okay." I'll wait for you to come back. ”

That night, we made a private agreement for life.

Since that night, I have always thought that I will be your wife and will accompany you through this troubled life.

However, I didn't expect that this little wish, which I would never be able to fulfill throughout my life. Even if you are buried by your side after death, such a humble wish will eventually be in vain.

Later, you must have regretted this trip to the water.

Because, no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
