Chapter 101: Sympathy
Zhou Fu hurriedly closed the door, stepped up, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You light, let people hear, we will all suffer." ”
Ruojun also quickly covered his mouth and looked out of the door vigilantly.
Shu Zhi pulled away her hand angrily, and his chest kept rising and falling, and said, "Anyway, I don't go to school anymore." ”
Ding Xiaohui stepped forward, picked up the Japanese textbook on the ground, and said: "Back then, Mr. Sun Yat-sen also studied in Japan and founded the League, and many revolutionary pioneers studied their advanced and progressive places in Japan. There is no right or wrong in language knowledge, and only by learning their language can we understand them better. If we don't know anything about the Japanese, how can we destroy them? ”
Shu Zhi was still raising his eyebrows, panting rapidly, but gradually quieted down, and after a while, he raised his head and asked: "They said that they are here to help us establish some East Asian co-prosperity circle, and what are they here to help us, phew!" They killed my father and mother, killed so many Chinese! It's just a fart! ”
"I know, then learn how to do it and get them out."
"No, I don't go to school anymore, I hate those Japanese teachers, Brother Ding, you are a teacher, and you can see a doctor, I will learn from you. Okay? ”
"This ...... Shu Zhi, I only teach one subject of history, and you need all kinds of knowledge, for example, geography, physics, mathematics, etc., I can't give you a comprehensive education, as for seeing a doctor, hehe, I only know a little about the surface, how can I be qualified to accept apprentices? ”
Ding Xiaohui picked up Shu Zhi's school bag, pulled him into the hall, patted his face, and said: "Study well, as long as you remember in your heart that you are Chinese and remember that they are enemies." Ah......h ”
"Good!" Shu Zhi became happy and ran to Ruojun: "Sister, I'm going to go to Brother Ding's school." ”
Ruojun nodded with a slight smile and touched his head: "Okay!" As long as you're willing to go to school. ”
Master Zhou also nodded frequently and said yes. Ruojun looked up at him, he smiled at her gently, she couldn't help but smile back, he understated a few words, every word was fine, and it was clearly organized, not only persuaded Shu Zhi, but also persuaded her.
This was the first time he saw her smile, not perfunctory, helpless, bitter, but a real smile, there was no pain between the eyebrows, no tears in the eyes, no camouflage at the corners of the mouth, she really smiled, like a flower that had not bloomed for a long time, slowly blooming her beauty, his heart moved.
After dinner, she sent him out, I don't know when it was formed, maybe she has a kind of consciousness, she is the owner of the Mei family, and he is a guest, in short, for more than two years, every time she sends him out, but there are never superfluous words between the two.
Tonight the same, she sent him to the door and watched him unlock the bike.
"Thank you, Mr. Ding. You're good to go. She said goodbye to him politely as usual, and turned to close the door.
"Ruojun, wait." He stopped to pick the lock, and her hand that was about to close the door stopped in the air.
"What?" She didn't seem to have a premonition that he was going to call out to her.
"Can we go for a walk in the woods?" He cautiously tempted.
"Nope." She was very frustrated by her simple and resolute answer, he did not know that in that grove had happened in the woods that she would never forget, that night of thunderstorms and love and resentment. It had been a long, long time since she had walked into the grove behind the house.
His embarrassed smile and hurt eyes made her feel very sorry, for two years, he saved her life and took care of them for two years, he was a good man, his gentleness reminded her of Ryan, and that hurt smile reminded her of her selfish madness for love, cruelly hurt Ryan, every time she thought about it, she regretted it.
He moistened his parched lips and laughed dryly, trying to dissolve the frozen air.
"I'll take you to the street." She said.
With a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he nodded, unlocked the bicycle, pushed the bicycle, and the two walked quietly into the night.
She hung her head all the way, deliberately walked on the other side of his bike, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the rising moon, sighed softly, and said, "I know that you are a woman with a story, do you want to hear my story?" ”
She originally thought that he was going to confess to her, but she didn't expect him to tell a story, and with a hint of curiosity, she let out a soft "um".
His mind returned to the distant past, pursed his lips, frowned, and said eloquently: "Actually, Dean Liu is not my friend, but my father-in-law. ”
Mei Ruojun gasped slightly, stopped, and looked at him in surprise.
He sighed: "When I was twenty years old, I met my wife Yutong, almost love at first sight, the fire of love is so brilliant and colorful, we laugh in the field, chase in the wind, whisper on the lakeside, enjoy the red leaves of the fragrant mountains, happy we, soon plan to get married, but his family has an ancient rule, their family's medical secret books are only passed on to men and not women, when there are only girls, then the girl must recruit her son-in-law to go home, and not to marry." ”
He sighed lightly and continued: "I am the only child in the family, and the family will naturally not agree, so in the entanglement of love and separation, we wander in pain, and after countless quarrels and reconciliations, we are all tired. I gave up, I left my hometown, running away from her, running away from our never-ending arguments. ”
"Why run away? She's going to be sad. She sighed, her voice seemed to be whispering, looking at the street lamp not far away, as if she was asking Ding Xiaohui, and as if she was asking someone in the distance.
"I fled because of pain and despair." He answered her question, seemingly for someone.
She shook her head and said nothing, and he continued: "Then she found me. She broke with my father for me, gave up inheriting the family medical secrets, gave up her medical school studies, and traveled thousands of miles to find the depressed and boring me. I was so happy, we had a wedding in that small town in the south, no one attended our wedding, even the witnesses were temporarily pulled from the street, but we were happy like two spring birds, snuggling together all day long. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, a brave woman is always happy easily." Her words seem to be saying that Ding Xiaohui's wife seems to be talking about Cheng Jiaqi, she admires Cheng Jiaqi's persistence and courage in love from the bottom of her heart, compared with her, she is simply cowardly and superficial like a rag doll, and it has long become her habit to accept her fate, so it is natural for Cheng Jiaqi to get Ruikang, and it is reasonable for her to lose everything, God will not favor cowardly and swaying people.
Finally, Yu Tong's resoluteness touched his father, personally came to the town to pick us up, taught me medical skills, at that time, we were really happy, and then Yu Tong was pregnant, I was so happy, every day in anticipation of the joy of being a father. But just when we were all looking forward to the birth of the child, Yutong fell down the stairs of the house, and by the time the maid found her, she was already unconscious, her head hit the vase, and not long after she was sent to the hospital, the mother and son left me...... Went to ......"
Ding Xiaohui choked up, his affectionate eyes behind the lenses were filled with tears, and he also looked at the street lamp not far away.
Ruojun looked at the corners of his mouth that was slightly pulled down, and his throat slid up and down, but he didn't expect Ding Xiaohui's emotional experience to be so painful, and he actually felt the same fate as her, and the feeling of being a fallen person at the end of the world rose in his heart.
She didn't know how to comfort her, eloquence had never been her forte, just a long sigh.
"Ruojun, I don't want to win your sympathy or comfort you, I want to tell you that no matter how sad you are, life still has to go on, and the dead don't want to live as well as die. Leave the grief in the bottom of your heart, seal it, lock it up, and live it with a smile. ”
"I don't understand how to live with a smile in such a situation where my family is ruined?" She sighed.
"Do you believe me?"
"Yes, I believe you." She has trusted him for two years.
He looked at her and smiled beautifully, "I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow." You can't always be stuck in this little yard. ”
"This ...... I'm a widow......" she hesitated, but his offer was tempting. Because it's been too long, too long since she's been out properly to breathe.
"Widows are also people, tomorrow we will take Shu Zhi to go through the transfer procedures, and then we will go for a walk in the mountains. I've got something I'd like to discuss with you. He said with a bit of mystery.
Go mountain climbing with him? How can it be? How can a widow go out and climb a mountain with a man who is not related to her?
But she did want to go, she couldn't remember what the verdant mountains looked like, how tall were the mountains in her mind except death and death, pain and pain? How green is the tree? How clear is the stream? How delicate are the flowers? These beautiful things seemed to have been out of her life for too long, and she couldn't imagine them for so long. She looked at him with her eyes open, full of anticipation and hesitation, but she couldn't nod her head or answer him.
He saw the doubts in her heart, and said with a light smile: "It's not just you and me, let's take Shu Zhi with us, don't you think there is too much hatred in this child's heart?" ”
Hearing him say this, Ruojun's face spread an embarrassed and shy smile, she really thought too much, and she saw through her thoughts, it was really embarrassing.
Thinking of what he said about Shu Zhi's growth, she was suddenly shocked, she was really not a good sister, she had been immersed in her own suffering, but she ignored Shu Zhi's eyes that were always burning with hatred, he lost all his loved ones like her, he was still so young, he had been living a life under the fence, how much he needed someone to love him and care about him.
"I was really careless, yes, how could he bear so much grief at such an age?"
"You know, his grades are very good, but in the past two years, I have never seen him pass with anyone, he is always alone, and he is irritable and scary, like a * bag, ready to explode at any time."
"Yes" Ruojun frowned, what Ding Xiaohui said was not wrong at all.
"So we'd better take him out for a walk and see the green mountains and waters. Let him open his mind...... You are no exception. He smiled faintly at her, and his smile made her feel safe, and she couldn't help but smile back at him.
