(22) A deserted city without a moon

"Is the man in the dream me? Heh......" Xiaoyu smiled, still so cold.

When Ah Pu and Ah Ya were six years old, they saw a man, and the grandfather said that the man was his father, a man as big as the sky, and Ah Gong said, "When you come back, you should have a boy." Dad nodded, and then said, "Is the clog still there?" ”

"Hmm!" Grandpa affirmed, shaking his head again.

"Ah Gong! What clogs? Ah Pu was curious.

"Don't ask, little ones, get out! Grandpa and Dad have something to say. Ah Pu was very disappointed and pulled Aya out.

"I heard clogs at night!" Ah Pu was very clever and guessed after a while.

"You mean that's" Ah Pu knew what Aya was going to say, nodded, and his smart eyes turned a few times, as if to say.

"Let's go check it out in the evening!" Aya nodded, she has always helped Apu, last year they saw a hungry black dog in the backyard, Apu poured all the rice in the pot to it, but she didn't know that the pot of rice was to be mixed with sweet potato skewers to cook into thin porridge, which was the last pot of rice left by the family under the ration. Grandpa found out, the bamboo stick immediately swung on Apu's hands, back, feet, Aya leaned close to Apu for her half, the two rolled in pain, snot saliva and mud were stuck to the face, even the mother was scared and trembled, the two lay in the corner, crying until dawn, not allowed to go to bed, that night they heard a loud and clear click, it turned out to be the sound of clogs.

"Who are you?" Ah Pu saw a woman, and although Aya couldn't see it, she still believed it.

The woman dragged her clogs back and forth in the kitchen and ignored her, and Apu learned from her but could not make such a sound.

"I like you!" Ah Pu said, and the woman looked at her and smiled.

"Do you want to learn from me? Yes, you'll be like mine! The woman took Apu and said this, Aya still couldn't see it, but Ajian learned from her, and Aya felt that the voice was like coming from Apu's feet.

"You're going to fall in love with a man from out ......of town like I do," Pu was twenty-two years old when she remembered this sentence again, and although she could no longer see the woman, they could still hear the clogs.

Mr. Zhang! Ah Pu found that she dreamed of him every night, and she couldn't see him for a day, although her father didn't like it, but every time she remembered this sentence, she believed that it was the fate of her previous life, and no one could tear them apart.

Aya likes Aru but is afraid to see him, and wants to avoid him from time to time, but Apu believes that she and Zhang, Aya and Aru are arranged by God, and every time they go out, they have to pull Aya, and Zhang also deliberately takes Aru, and joy and laughter will always accompany her and Aya.

"Why did you come back so late?" The father who has been following Ah Pu is already angry.

"Abba......

"Do you want Abba or do you want him?" Ah Pu didn't dare to answer, and he didn't know how to answer, but his father said with tears in his eyes: "I'm for your good, don't see him again." Ah Pu remembered that when she was ten years old, she fell into the pond and her father almost died to save herself, and at that time she had decided not to break his heart from then on, so she nodded and shed tears.

After that day, Ah Pu never saw Zhang, and he didn't like to talk when he saw people, so he often hid in the attic, and didn't want to see anyone, and finally one day her father told her: "Ah Pu! The girl's family must have a home after all, and I decided to let you marry Ah Dong! I think he can take care of you. ”

"No" Ah Pu said, shaking his head vigorously, although his father couldn't bear it, he still said sternly: "Obey your parents, repay your kindness is filial piety!" When his father said that when he was young, his grandfather told him that in addition to the emperor's kindness, the second is his own kindness, which cannot be disobeyed, and that it is natural and natural to obey his parents, and said, "Do you know how your aunt died?" If you are obedient, Abba will not harm you! ”

Being a woman turned out to be fateful, but Ah Pu decided to see Zhang for the last time and told him that the two were unlucky, so forget about herself!

In the moonless Mid-Autumn Festival, this song sounded in Apu's ears: the years are gone, the flowers are gone, the carnival season is the most unforgettable, when Yan'er is newly married, where is the prosperity of the deserted city, the joy has been silent, the long past is like clouds, in the hazy moonlight.

In autumn, the color of the earth changes, put on red clothes, geese fly in flocks of the sky, year after year, the passing water and the birds fly, the bright moon shines on the high sky, the moonlight is vast and the city shadow is dark, speechless to sleep.

I still remember that when he taught Zhang to sing this song in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he couldn't help but shed tears, Ah Pu knew that he remembered his hometown, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival couldn't even see the moon, Ah Pu knew that the sky also shed tears.

Ah Pu wanted to see him quickly but was afraid to see him, because the purpose of meeting was to part, and the tone of the dogs' mournful screams was also very similar to the song "The Moon of the Deserted City".

"It's it! It's it! Ah Pu knew that it was it, and for fear that it would starve and that it would be cold, she would be beaten badly, and she and Ah Mian would never forget that night! The voice was almost mournful.

"Nope! No way! Sixteen years later, there's no way it's still here! Ah Pu walked forward quickly, but the song did not go away, but he saw it again, and his voice was more poignant than that of Shicai, as if he wanted to tell something?

"If it really is! Do you want to tell yourself something? Ah Pu squatted down and wanted to caress its head, and time suddenly seemed to have receded sixteen years.

But as soon as he squatted down, Ah Pu was startled, the kerosene lamp also fell to the ground, its head kept shaking from side to side, and its blood-red eyes were bleeding.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? The beautiful and sad song was still singing, but at this time all it was cold and fearful, and Ah Pu shook his head vigorously and crawled backwards, his voice becoming clearer and clearer, and the speed of crawling became faster and faster.

As soon as he raised his head, a huge black shadow shrouded his head, and Ah Pu couldn't help but scream loudly.

"It's him! It turned out to be him! "It's Zhang! The solid arms wrapped Apu tightly around his chest.

Wild and passionate kisses, sorrow and ecstasy all turned into tears, without fear or coldness. Ah Pu wanted to push him away, but he wanted to drown in such warmth forever and ever.

"The carnival season is the most memorable, when Yan'er is newly married. Where is the prosperity of the deserted city now" When the song in his ears sounded again, Apu suddenly woke up.

"Nope! No way! It can't be like this. Ah Pu tried to break free, but his arms were as steel as iron, and there was no way to escape.

"I'll never let you leave me again!" The stinging pain on her face gradually turned into a dense tenderness, and she was obsessed again.

"Apu! Over there? Apu! Where are you? The sound was like a dream that could never be grasped, and it became more and more distant.

The rain has stopped! Zhang Zheng, who was lying next to him, was asleep, it was the first time to see him like this, he turned over and called in a low voice, like excessive pity and extreme cherishment, was it his dearest and beloved relatives, or the hometown he fled from? He's too bitter!

"Are you awake?" He opened his eyes.

"Hmmm! It's time for me to go back, too. Ah Pu felt shy, but he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You come to propose!" ”

"I ......"

"Don't worry! My father couldn't object any more. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Since it happened, only let it be, can it really be like the previous generation, she is my cherished daughter!"

Dad didn't ask, Ah Pu went there.

The taste of waiting is really the greatest torture.

"Why didn't he come? Didn't he say he would never let me go? ”

"He's gone! No! No, I've been a part of his life since that day, I know it won't! I'm going to wait! Wait forever and ever! ”

"Nope! No way! I can't beat him, he's my hope, my life, all I have left! Without him I would have died! ”

Aya saw that Apu had already made up her mind and said, "Heaven has created such a similar life as ours, and we can replace each other. ”

"Nope! No, I can't break you up with Aru! ”

"Can you leave Zhang again? Ah Ru and I haven't started yet, we can end it right away! Aya looked at Apu resolutely, and said, "Let's swap the lives of the rest of my life!" You became me, and I became you. If one day, you figure it out and change it back, I can give Ah Dong to you again. ”

"Aya! I'm sorry for you. ”

Dad nodded and agreed with this ridiculous misplacement, after Ayadai Apu got married, he pretended to be pregnant a few months later, and then let Ajian return to Aya, and after Apu gave birth to Ada smoothly, he was swapped back, Adong was still young, and Aya deliberately avoided taboos after getting married, how could such a difference be found?

Can't give up is the love for Ada, if there is no him, the deserted city without the moon Can you wait any longer? The misplaced catastrophe began when Ah Hai was sent away.

(23) Can you tell the difference?

"Why did you take him? Why "

"It's fate! Apu. Dad looked at Ah Pu in pain.

"I don't have anything left? Even Ada has to be taken away. ”

Memories are the only reason to wait, but soaked in disappointment, depression, and pain, all that remains is darkness, coldness, and fear, like a nightmare that is difficult to wake up, and Apu who has lost Ada is almost crazy.

"Oh my God! What should I do? I'm willing to bear her pain if I can! Dad shook his hand and poured the thick glutinous rice wine, when will it all end?

"Abba! We want to build a new house in the backyard. Aya said.

"Nope! Absolutely not! Seeing her father's resolute attitude, Aya didn't say anything and turned around.

"Alas! Aya always felt that I preferred Apu, and she replaced Apu, but I didn't object. She's not had a good time over the years, but I really didn't know it would be like this! In order to be afraid that people will find out that Ah Pu gave birth to a child out of wedlock, she sacrificed her happiness, what is the difference between her and my grandfather? Is face and family voice really so important? "As long as you don't think about it, there will be no more pain, and my father, who has been indulging in alcohol day and night, has finally contracted alcohol poison.

"Abba! We wanted to move out and live. Ah Dong said loudly.

"What?" Dad's health is getting worse and worse, if there is no Ah Dong and his wife, the business will not be able to support it, so he nodded and agreed, saying, "Okay! Cover it, but only build one room and one living room, and the left half should be kept as original as possible. But how long will he be sober? Ah Dong nodded, a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the day of the start of construction, Dad found that he did not agree with the agreement, and he swayed and forced himself to the backyard, shouting loudly: "No! You can't dig it up, fill it back in! But Adong ignored it, his father's throat was already hoarse, and his voice became lower and lower as if crying, Aya looked at the old father's wrinkled cheeks full of tears, but he couldn't stop her husband, and suddenly felt a strong fainting in his head, and fainted.

"Apu is pregnant! It's going to move to the tires, stop! Can't dig anymore. ”

"Let Apu live in Grandma's house first! My kids can't live in the attic anymore or we'll move out. Adong still insisted, Aya looked at his father's expression and looked quite pained, and his father sighed and said, "Maybe I really should tell you!" While everybody is here, let you know what's going on here, and then decide for yourselves. I don't have long to live, so let it be as you wish! ”

"It was a long, long time, but I will never forget it, I was only seven years old when I was seven years old, the rain kept falling, the water in the stream was rising higher and higher and was about to burst the embankment, the people in the village were very worried so they decided to go out to protect the berm, Abba and Grandpa went out early in the morning, Grandma, Mother, and Aunt accompanied me to wait in the hall, more and more worried but could only wait patiently.

It was dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly in the pouring rain, but I always felt that there was a person standing next to the bamboo forest, looking like a Tangshan man who came to the village last year. After dinner, Abba and they still didn't come back, and Grandma gradually couldn't sit still, and walked to the door and looked out. Waiting until late at night and there was still no news, my aunt carried kerosene, put on her robe, and said, "Mother! Sister-in-law! Let me go out and have a look! Save yourself so much worry! ”

"Good! Then be careful!! Grandma nodded, it was the only way, the black dog raised by her aunt also followed behind her, and soon Grandpa and Abba came back, but the aunt disappeared instead. She didn't come back until it was dark, but the kerosene lamp and the robe were gone, and she was shivering and completely soaked.

A few months later, one night I suddenly woke up, but my father and mother were gone, and then there was a violent bang, roar, exclamation and crying, and I rubbed my eyes and walked downstairs.

When I walked to the kitchen, I was awakened by the scene in front of me, my aunt threw herself on the ground, my grandfather held an iron bar in my hand, and hit her legs and back wildly, my aunt cried loudly, rolled, and fainted, but her body kept moving, and the bright red of the spring fell under her feet, and Grandma and Grandma cried loudly and panicked.

My aunt's health never improved, and she disappeared soon after, along with the black dog that accompanied her. Half a month later, the well water smelled foul, and my aunt and the black dog floated up, and their eyes never closed. That night, the whole family dreamed of my aunt and heard her laugh loudly: "Things will repeat themselves, there will be no more men in this ancestral house, and even if there is, it is only a curse, doomed to eternal separation and loneliness!" This is a reward for what you have taken away, ha! Ha! Ha! ”

Ah Gong didn't know that a moment of anger could make such a thing! I had to invite my uncle, who said, "Send Alin away first, and then pick him up when he is an adult." The backyard was preserved, and the most important thing was to seal the well and not touch it in the future, no matter what happened. And the same thing must not happen again, and her resentment will gradually dissipate. That's all I can do? In fact, there is a way to solve everything, you are just too impulsive. ”

But can resentment really stop? Every few nights after my aunt died, there was always the sound of clattering clogs in the kitchen, and everyone recognized her footsteps, and I knew she was here all the time! “

"Footsteps? I haven't heard of it in all these years? And after so many years, nothing has happened, and Ada has also been sent away, can anything else happen? Ah Dong's eyes were suspicious. This story may just be a legend, and Dad made it up in order to create an atmosphere of fear, thought about it for a long time, and said, "Okay! We won't dig that well, and then ask the monk and the vegetable aunt to do a ritual for the aunt, and then we can start the work again! This is the maximum concession he has made.

"I can't care so much anyway, so be it!" Dad shook himself and walked away, not wanting to ask any more. “

"So that's it? Sacrificing my happiness for the sake of such karma. Ah Pu can't tell whether she is Ah Pu, Aya or the hard-working heroine of Dad's story.

"Burn it! Let everything be burned, let the raging fire burn all the people and things that have taken me from me, burn! Burn it! "Resentment burned in my heart, and finally brought destruction.

When Apu came to his senses again, the fire was out of control.

"If ruining myself can really save all this, I do! I really do! Although she knew that sin was irreparable, that the only option she could choose might be destruction, and that the absurd dislocation would end with a fire, but was resentment also carried away with this fire?

When he was eighteen years old, Ada came back, and he couldn't feel the love of his parents because he was away from his childhood, and he had already decided in his heart that the dead Apu was the only mother, maybe the mother-son relationship will never be separated, but the truth that was unintentionally revealed was so hurtful.

Ada's return finally doomed Aya to be lonely for half a lifetime, and he told Ah Yun: "Ah Yun! Mother will send you away one day, and will ask you to marry someone you don't love and don't like. Follow me away, and you will have a future. ”

The two siblings took the remaining money in the house and left, leaving the lonely and helpless Aya, who had been looking for three days without any news.

When Aru returned home after three days, he learned that his wife had decided to leave him, and Aru's excessive concern for Aya made her always have a knot, Aru and Aya are like a family, but they are like an outsider. Wouldn't it be better if their own parting could fulfill them? At this time, Aru's repentance could no longer recall his dead wife.

The money was finally exhausted, and Ada, who couldn't bear the hardship, decided to go back, but Ah Yun felt that she had no face to see Aya again. Ahai returned again, Aya still didn't blame him, but Ada never forgot the idea of rebuilding, and Aya also knew that she was against the loneliness of a lifetime, but as long as she could end this disaster, she had nothing to ask for.

Ada is disappointed, leaving is really the best choice! He told himself that this time there would be no going back.

But Ada, who returned to his residence, lost a trace of Ah Yun, and no one knew where Ah Yun went.

Can marriage change Ada? But Ada's resentment and irresponsibility, loneliness may be the best reward, an accident took away his beloved son, pain and blame make Ada choose to escape again.

"I'm going to use my reincarnation to awaken Ada and end this eternal separation and loneliness!" But Apu's decision is the beginning of Ada's loneliness, maybe this is the ultimate fate!

Ah Yun met Brother Xu, but is love and happiness really lasting? An accident took Brother Xu's life, and Ah Yun chose to use blood to completely dye herself red. “

Is such a story the result of resentment, misunderstanding, negligence, or is it really fate? Who can answer this question? Speaking of this, Xiaoyu was already in tears, and she couldn't say it anymore. After a long pause, he smiled again and said, "Do you know where Zhang, who Ah Pu was waiting for, went?" Zhang Nian never forgot his wife on the other side, and secretly went back once, his daughter's name was Jiajia, but his wife had remarried, and even his daughter didn't want to recognize him, but he never remembered Ah Jian, in his heart, Ah Pu was just a passerby, like a white cloud. Xiao Yu's voice grew louder and louder the laughter, and she lost control.

"No wonder he left this world because of Xiaoyu!" Xi'er and Tongtong both had the same idea.

Xiao Yu sang the song in laughter: "Can you really tell if it's heaven? Is it still hell?

Is it a bright green space? Or is it dark mud?

Is it sweet tenderness? Or is it the brutality of pain?

Is it a chimeric deity? Or is it a stripped ghost?

Is it a good wish? Or is it an ugly curse?

Can you really tell the difference? “

She slowly closed her eyes, and her murmuring lips finally stopped, but the song was still singing, and it felt like it was drifting farther and farther away.

(24) Heart knots

"Hey! Get up, get up! Zhizi shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Tongtong rubbed his eyes and said in a very impatient tone, Xi'er rolled over and fell asleep again.

"Get up!" Zhizi pulled up Tongtong and said, "I had a dream yesterday!" ”

"Oh!" Tongtong's tone didn't seem surprised, Xi'er didn't even open her eyes, Zhizi twisted it the legs of the two, and the two of them jumped up in pain, and then Ni Lin's voice came from downstairs, saying, "Ladies and ladies! It's time to get up and have lunch. The three of them smiled at each other and changed their clothes, Zhizi said as she spoke, and the two of them talked about it a little, although Zhizi was shocked, but the plot in the dream was exactly what they said, as if they had seen it in person.

Is this really the end of the matter?

Suddenly, the door opened, the noon sun shone in, a man and a woman stood outside the door with their backs, and the man saw Grandma and immediately fell to the ground, choked up and said, "Mother! I'm sorry for you! Grandma looked at him, stretched out her twisted right hand, stroked the man's head, and said, "Just come back!" It's good to be back! ”

The four of them had adjusted to the light that came in and could see □ clearly

Covered with tears, he fell to his knees between the cracks in the door.

"Alas! Mother and son are in debt to each other, what is there to be worthy, sorry! Grandma's voice seemed to be choked as she spoke, and she stretched out her hand to help her uncle up, but her body was so weak that she was about to fall, so her uncle immediately stood up and helped her.

The past is like yesterday, but the people are no longer there, and the tears on his face still flow uncontrollably.

"Uncle! Aunt! The four of them said this, but the uncle pondered and did not reply, and the aunt nodded with tears on her face in her appreciation.

The uncle helped Grandma to the house, although there were still tears on his face, but the previous depressed and depressed appearance was completely gone, even the hall looked clear and clear, and the sun seemed to bring in anger.

"Auntie! How did you come here? Xi'er said.

"Yesterday he couldn't sleep all night, saying that Xiaoyu's death had made him completely figure it out? He has lived in resentment all his life and has never imagined for others. Loneliness is not a fate, it is a matter of one's own making. After a pause, he said: "He said that he never expected that Xiaoyu would live here in the past four years and help him take care of his mother, alas! Even after she died, she didn't forget to ask you to take care of your grandmother, alas! Speaking of this, she was sad again.

"Auntie! I think it's time for us to take our leave. ”

"Let's go after eating!"

"No! Uncle is back, and he should have fulfilled Xiaoyu's wish, and we should really leave. Seeing their insistence, the aunt nodded and said, "Then come and see us more when you have time, maybe we will live here in the future." The four of them nodded and said, "Auntie, please help us say goodbye to Grandma and Uncle!" The four of them waved their hands and walked out the door.

Whether Xiao Yu is taking care of her grandmother for her father, or the karma of her previous life may not matter anymore, let go of resentment and accept each other, and loneliness and separation should naturally end.

"I think we should go and say goodbye to Arub too." Xi'er said.

Walking towards the grocery store, Arubo sat on a round stool with his back to the door, holding a photo in his hand. The edges of the black-and-white photograph have turned yellow, but the man and woman in the photograph are quite familiar, and it turns out to be the fourth of Xiaoyu's six paintings, and the appearance is almost identical.

"Aarbu! We're going back. Tong Tong said.

"Hmm!" Arubo nodded slightly, with tears in his eyes.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, like Hengxiao: "Uncle! Who's coming? When Arubor saw her, he immediately stood up and looked very excited, swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva before saying, "You are finally back." The old woman nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "What else can't you see after so many years?" ”

"I, I," Arubo was speechless.

"We are all old, alas! Ten days ago, a young girl came to see me and talked to me for a long time. A young child like her understands so much, and I, who is dozens of years old, is still so stubborn! ”

She looked at Arubo for a moment, smiled, and said, "Are you still like this, or are you bothered so much (so many troubles)?" Arubo laughed loudly and said, "You are not the same, your mouth has never stopped." ”

The eyes of the two were full of smiles, approaching each other, although their actions were a little slow, but in the days to come, I believe that they will always support each other like this, and the five of them looked at each other unconsciously, and their eyes were already full of tears.

Why did Xiao Yu die? On the way home, the four of them remembered this question at the same time, right or wrong? Is it good or bad? Maybe everyone has different ideas, but at least Xiaoyu made proper arrangements before he died, and this is also a kind of responsibility!

But what is the special meaning of the sixth picture?

Five years later, Xi'er received a letter from Canada, the letter was thick and heavy, signed by Zhizi, and the letter was written like this.

"Cloud: Happy Zhanxin! Four years have passed, and I remember going to Hehuan Mountain three times in a row to see the snow when I was in China, but I never saw it. When I got here, I hid in the room in the snow, and I felt lonely in addition to feeling cold.

Is Kiriki okay? She still doesn't reply to my letters, I'm really unintentional, but when will the hurt be?

Is this the end of the relationship for many years?

What about you? Have you solved the matter with Tak? I think your family will forgive one day.

It took a few different addresses to avoid Ni Lin, and his letter was sent to you together, so you have a chance to return him! I haven't opened it.

PS: The Winter Olympics are being held here, you can help someone to come and have a look when you have time, and I can ask someone to arrange all the itinerary.

Emerald"

Zhizi worked for a year before preparing to go abroad, so she asked Ni Lin for help, but happened to encounter problems with the relationship between Tongtong and Ni Lin, Zhizi wanted to persuade Ni Lin, but her straightforwardness and maturity made Ni Lin feel deeply, and when Zhizi found out, Tongtong and Ni Lin were irretrievable, Zhizi thought that her departure could solve all this, but Ni Lin went to believe more, meaning that he would wait for her no matter what, and the address was changed repeatedly and still found.

Three months later, I received a letter from Zhizi, saying that I had completed my studies and wanted to return to China to see, Xi'er called Tongtong's house, and the other head rang, and sure enough, Tongtong answered: "Is it?" She's coming back, I'm going to be a big night tonight! I can't go over tomorrow morning, so you can greet her for me! The tone was calm and cold.

Zhizi only saw Xi'er alone, although she was excited, she was still disappointed after all, and she went to the country for four years to change people, but the misunderstanding still couldn't be solved? Is it really irreparable?

"Xi'er! How are you and Tak? Zhizi said.

"I'll tell you a joke!" Xi'er smiled slightly and said, "There was a man who called a girl and said that no matter how long it took or what happened, he would wait. As a result, do you know what happened later? Zhizi shook her head, and Xi'er said: "After six months, a girl accidentally bumped into a pregnant woman while shopping in a supermarket, and it turned out to be "Xi'er's expression was very calm, but she still couldn't say it anymore, and after stopping for a long time, Zhizi said: "Let's go!" Went back. ”

Half a year later, Tongtong called Xi'er, saying that she would go abroad with her boyfriend, I don't know how many years it will take, Xi'er specially mentioned Zhizi again, but Tongtong's tone was still cold.

A year passed quickly, Xi'er's wedding was imminent, Zhizi came, Tongtong called to bless that night, Xi'er said: "Tongtong! Zhizi is here, do you want to talk to her? Tongtong didn't respond, and Xi'er continued: "Do you remember what happened at Grandma's house seven years ago? Do you really wish to be like them, and regret it many years later? You're already a mother of a child, or can't you let go of it like this? Xi'er's words were somewhat resentful, Tongtong was silent, and said after a long time: "At that time, I didn't encounter many things when I was young, and I always thought that I would be like this when I lived in that environment, and now I know that it is really difficult to see it, give me a little time, okay?" ”

A year later, Tongtong wrote back that the foreign environment was becoming more and more difficult to adapt, and the couple were ready to return to China to settle down, and asked Xi'er to find a teaching position for him.

Xi'er and Zhizi came to pick them up, the two couples with a child, they looked much more mature, Tongtong walked on the left side of Xi'er, Zhizi was on the right side of Xi'er, and then Xi'er finally understood the true meaning of the painting.

The next day, Xi'er called Zhizi and Tongtong, and the three of them walked on the road, Xi'er took their hands and said, "Do you remember the last painting left by Xiaoyu, is it exactly the same as the current situation?" Zhizi said with tears in her eyes: "Tongtong, I'm sorry! ”

"Nope! Actually, I should have said thank you! She smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, how would I have found my husband?" ”

"Is there one more thing we haven't done?" Xi'er said.

"What?" Tongtong and Zhizi asked at the same time.

"Go back and tell Xiaoyu that the ending of this story is a happy ending, without any shock."

In the hustle and bustle of the streets of Taipei, Xi'er, Zhizi, and Tongtong kept clasping their hands tightly, and they smiled brightly, because no matter how long it took for them to go on like this.
