Acceptable? It's impossible, her love has already been given to Ruikang, no matter what the ending is, she has already decided to live and die with this love. Refusal? How can you not hurt Shu Zhi? She doesn't want Shu Zhi to become the second Ding Xiaohui.

She was both frightened and angry, and her body trembled slightly, Shu Zhi, Shu Zhi, you are my sister's younger brother, how can you, how can you be? My sister can't accept your love, and she doesn't want to lose your brother!

In the face of his fiery gaze, the tip of her nose was sore, tears rolled out of her eyes, she didn't know what to say, she could only turn around and trot into the room.

He looked at her back and was stunned for two seconds, his heart was crossed, and he chased after her, she was about to close the door, and he propped up the door: "Ruojun, I want to talk to you." ”

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Do you know what I'm going to say?"

"Nope." She leaned against the door, and he pushed it, and the two screamed through the wooden door.

"Shu Zhi, don't be like this, no, no." She exclaimed.

He didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he pushed hard, rushed in, and the huge thrust pushed Ruojun to the wall, and the back of her head hit the wall, and she screamed "ah" in pain.

"Did it hurt?" He nervously held her head to check.

She blocked his hand and didn't let him touch her, but now, there was no need to hide it anymore, she sat on the edge of the bed angrily and embarrassed, he followed her astringently, pulled a chair and sat beside her, looking at her with her eyebrows locked.

"What are you going to talk to me about?" She raised her eyes to look at him and asked him seriously.

"I ......" he was asked by her, and suddenly he didn't know how to speak, he admired her and was infatuated with her, but after all, he called her sister for so many years, and he respected her even more, he was stunned but didn't know how to say it.

Ruojun shook his head and sighed, "Also, where did this dress come from?" ”

"Bought it."

"Where did you get all that money?"

He bowed his head and did not speak.

Seeing the embarrassed look, Ruojun was shocked, and asked with wide eyes, "Have you done something illegal?" ”

"It's not!" He made an urgent defense, biting his lower lip, lowering his head, as if there was something unspeakable, and muttered: "Anyway, I didn't steal it." ”

"Where did that come from, if you don't say it, I won't wear it." Ruojun said and unbuttoned a few buttons, Shu Zhi had to surrender, hurriedly pressed her hand, and said, "Okay, okay, I said, I said, you are dressing." ”

Ruojun stared at him suspiciously, waiting for his answer.

Shu Zhi pinched the corners of his eyes, frowned and said, "There is a rich female classmate in the family who gave me a watch, I sold it, bought this and a birthday gift for Nian'an." ”

Ruojun was stunned, not knowing what to say, a pair of beautiful eyes just looked at him blankly.

The two sat opposite each other, he lowered his head, his slender big hands, his fingers crossed, nervously waiting for her reprimand, in fact, he needed the watch very much, but as soon as he saw this red woolen sweater, Ruojun kept thinking of Ruojun wearing it, lingering, so he gritted his teeth and sold the watch.

He felt that it was really disgraceful to give gifts to Ruojun and Nian'an in this way, so he thought that Ruojun would criticize her and reprimand him, but Ruojun didn't, she only felt very sad in her heart, very moved, and helpless.

After a long time, Shu Zhi raised his head to look at her and asked, "Aren't you angry?" ”

She shook her head and sighed, "Then why are you lying? Do you know how long I've been preparing for tonight? Her tears rolled in her eyes, not because of her hard work in the past few days, but because she felt powerless and scared of Shu Zhi.

He bowed his head regretfully and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to lie to you. I was just...... I was just...... Want to see your reaction. ”

"See my reaction?" Her tears flowed down and fell on her lips, and she quickly wiped them away with her fingers: "Of course I'm happy for you, you are my brother, if you have a beloved girl, I can't be happy......"

"No, no, I don't have a beloved girl, I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future!" He interrupted her and bounced off his chair, her words not at all to soothe him, not to make him laugh at all.

He couldn't help but say excitedly: "I know, I'm not good enough, I'm not as good as him, I know you're waiting for him, I know everything, you don't have to say anything, I know everything in your heart, but where is he?" Will he ever come back? You're only twenty-eight years old. What if you come back? He has a wife and children, and he will never be able to give you a home. ”

He suddenly picked her up and caught her off guard.

"I didn't think you'd accept me, I was just dreaming and in a daze." He said.

"Shu Zhi!" She stood up and raised her voice: "We are brother and sister!" ”

"My surname is Meng, your surname is Mei, and there is no blood relationship at all!"

"I'm ten years older than you!"

"I don't care!" He replied categorically.

"I care!" She simply pushed back.

"Then why didn't you care that he was your husband's younger brother in the first place?"

Ruojun was suddenly asked about the sore spot, yes, he can have an indecent love with his uncle regardless of shame, and what reason is there to completely deny the possibility of a brother who is not related by blood? In short, she was not a chaste martyr in the first place, but she was still stung by him, and she sat on the edge of the bed, and she had no strength to argue at all.

Shu Zhi saw that she was depressed and silent, and knew that his words were right, so he immediately comforted her: "I'm sorry, I ....."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the "crunch ----" room was pushed open, Nian An tiptoed in, stood at the door and looked at the two of them, her black and beautiful eyes blinked, her eyes were full of panic, and she asked in a squeezing voice: "Mother, are you quarreling with your uncle?" ”

Ruojun hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up and put his face on his cheek, the hard-working child, she thought sadly, he was the driving force for her to wait, as long as there was Nian'an, she felt that Ruikang's shadow was accompanying her, in fact, she knew that what Shu Zhi said was the truth, don't say that Ruikang doesn't know when he will come back, even if he comes back, what can he do? He and Nian An have always been unjustifiable, and he has always been someone else's husband. She knew that her waiting was superfluous and hopeless, she knew that she and Ruikang were cursed, but even if it was nothing, there was no hope, waiting for his return was a powerful spiritual pillar in her heart, a motivation to live.

"You see, Nian'an has not had a father since he was a child, don't you think about him? I don't expect you to fall in love with me, as long as you can find someone you can trust for life, I will be happy for you. He said aloud in a hurry.

Seeing the anger on his face, Nian An thought he was very angry, stretched out his little hand and touched his face, and whispered, "Uncle, don't be angry." Nian An is obedient, Nian An is obedient. ”

Shu Zhi looked at Nian An's cute little face and the appearance that looked like Ruikang, shook his head helplessly, sighed heavily, touched his little face, and said softly: "Uncle didn't quarrel with your mother." Uncle was just worried and sad. ”

He took a step forward, opened his arms, and hugged Ruojun's mother and son, Ruojun wanted to escape, but Nian'an hugged Shu Zhi's neck tightly, just like that, Ruojun hugged Nian'an, Nian'an hugged Shu Zhi, Shu Zhi hugged their mother and son, and the three of them hugged each other for warmth on this late autumn night.

//

The civil war is drawing to a close, the time is just around the corner, and the streets are full of hope and worry about the future.

For Ruojun and Shu Zhi, they don't have much energy to pay attention to the complicated political events, because they have to think about how to survive first? Money, money, money! What a cheesy thing, but how can you survive without money?

Although Shu Zhi has two jobs, he is very hard-working, diligent and talented, but in troubled times, his talent is not enough to maintain food and clothing, and his efforts are not enough to pay for tuition. Because everybody is poor, everybody is struggling.

Some of the families with assets have left one after another, just like the Cheng family has moved to Hong Kong.

But no one expected that at this moment full of hardships, something even more terrible would happen.

That day, Ruojun as usual, pulled Nian An in the streets and alleys to sell, luckily, a few women gathered around to see the goods, Ruojun happily put the bamboo basket on the ground, let them choose, those women you say a word, some select, some commenters, twitter, Ruojun patiently answered their questions.

"Yo, this sika deer embroidery is good, this pattern is also rare, how much does it cost?"

"I like the orchid on this handkerchief, but the color of the handkerchief is too plain, is there any pink?"

"This turban is well embroidered, my old woman, she is very picky, so I'll buy yours."

Ruojun answered the question while taking the goods, collecting money, looking for money, and after finishing these few orders, he happily picked up the bamboo basket and said in his mouth: "Nian'an, is it okay for my mother to take you to eat tofu brain?"

But Nian'an, who is always around him on weekdays, did not respond, Ruojun hurriedly turned around and looked, and in an instant, the blood in his whole body was frozen, and in the empty alley, except for the cold wind, except where she stood alone, where was Nian'an's shadow?

Her heart hung to her throat, and she shouted bitterly: "Nian'an, Nian'an, Nian'an!" She shouted louder and louder, but there was no response, she threw down the bamboo basket, ran to the mouth of the alley, shouted loudly, and the passers-by on the street threw their eyes at her.

She pulled passers-by and asked, ran to all the places Nian An likes to go to find on weekdays, sugar man stalls, bookstores, all places, but no, no, no, she is going crazy, no, she is already crazy, she only wants to die with remorse, why is she not optimistic about Nian An?

She didn't care about her hair being scattered, and on the street, in the crowd, she kept shouting for Nian'an.

The proprietress of the bookstore shook her head regretfully, and also helped to inquire left and right, but everyone just shook their heads, and someone said: "Oh, these days, there is a shortage of soldiers, and there are more children who steal and sell more, you look at the present, who else is in charge of these things?" ”

When Ruojun heard this, his eyes were dark, his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, the proprietress of the bookstore was holding on to him.

I don't know how long it took to faint, when Ruojun opened his eyes again, it was already dark, and the bookstore proprietress beside him frowned and shook her head to comfort: "Don't worry, Nian'an's kid is smart and may have gone home by himself." ”

As soon as Ruojun heard this, Teng jumped up from the recliner and ran out of the door, still shouting Nian'an's name all the way.

The cold wind blew her hair and hurt her throat, she fell in the dark, she didn't care about the pain, she ran home frantically, returned to the Mei family's courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door, and bumped into Shu Zhi, who was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Shu Zhi grabbed her, and saw that she was disheveled, her face was pale, her eyes were straight, and her heart sank and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When Ruojun saw him, he recovered a little from his crazy state, and suddenly cried out loudly: "Nian'an is gone, Nian'an is gone!" ”

Shu Zhi only felt a bang in his head, and he was also stunned, and asked again and again: "What?" Nian An's missing? How could it be missing? Where is it missing? ”

Ruojun cried and told him about the afternoon, Shu Zhi hurriedly rushed into the room, found a flashlight, put in a new battery, walked out and said, "You wait at home, I'll look for it, don't run around." ”

"I'll go too!"

"Don't make a mess, stay at home for me! Look at you, your throat is also hoarse, and your pants are torn, go in and rub some medicine, don't worry, you will definitely find it back. As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the courtyard with his legs raised.

Ruojun walked into the hall like a wandering spirit, looked at his father Mei Xuefei's spiritual position, knelt down and cried and confessed: "Dad, I know that I have done a lot of wrong things, and I know that I deserve to be tortured in any way, but Nian'an is innocent, Dad, you must bless him safe." If he had three longs and two shorts, I wouldn't have survived. She kowtowed in front of the throne.

Oh my God, Nian'an was gone, and she fell to the ground crying bitterly, Ruikang! Her heart is crying out, Ruikang! Where are you? What to do? Our son is gone, I lost our son, this is the only person who is connected to you and me. With Nian'an, I have the determination to wait for you to come back, with Nian'an, I have the courage to live, and with Nian'an, I will believe that our love is not a dream......

That night, Ruojun knelt in front of the shrine until dawn, and Shu Zhi was not full of pain and disappointment until dawn, dragging tired and heavy steps back home.

Nian An is missing! Ruojun is almost crazy! Every day, she would run to the street and pull people to ask, the neighbors asked, and the individual asked, Shu Zhi didn't go to school anymore, and ran to the streets and alleys near the accident site every morning to find them, and asked one store after another.

Ruojun's spirit almost collapsed, crying for a while, being in a daze, complaining about herself, beating her chest for a while, and running out of the street, Shu Zhi had to spend a lot of energy to watch her, and in the end, she had to move a recliner and simply sleep behind Ruojun's door to prevent her from sneaking out to find Nian'an at night.
