There was standing water everywhere outside, potholes, and it was difficult to walk, but Senator Ye had to go there later on his own. Xiao Se had no choice but to carry me to Hong Xiulian first, and he didn't even have a rest, so he went out to help the village with disaster relief. It was heard that many houses in the village had collapsed or been severely damaged, and that there were casualties.

Hong Xiulian still arranged for me to live in the room when I went to Yejia Village to collect wind, she boiled hot water and asked me to take a bath. I was drenched in the rain last night, and I didn't change my clothes, the wet clothes kept sticking to my body, sticky and uncomfortable, and I couldn't wait to go into the bathroom. I thought I would go back after only one night, without a change of clothes, Hong Xiulian found a Ye Zihan nightdress for me to change, no underwear to wear, fortunately, the nightdress is relatively wide, the style is relatively formal, the chest will not look abrupt, and it will not make people feel too casual.

After taking a shower, I went to the balcony to wash my clothes, remembering that Xiao Se was wearing a pair of floral bottoms to tease me, so scared that I covered my face with my hands and ran into the laundry detergent water, there was a feeling of being in a different world.

I dried my clothes, went into my room, and sat on the bed in a trance.

Hong Xiulian walked in. "Tong Xin," she seemed to have something to say to me, but she couldn't speak, "you...... Do you know...... Zihan and Qin Feng...... Why don't you want to get married yet? ”

"I ...... Not very clear. "I also swallowed," maybe they are all very enterprising people...... For now, I want to focus on my career. ”

"But what is the conflict between marriage and career, Zihan is no longer a dancer, and having a child will not affect her." She was very puzzled, "You tell Auntie the truth, is Qin Feng unwilling to be responsible?" ”

"Why do you ask?" I secretly sighed that Hong Xiulian was from here after all, and she had keen insight, "I really don't know, Zihan's affairs, she rarely tells me." "After all, it's Ye Zihan's private matter, and I don't want to talk too much.

She sighed. "Zihan has brought Qin Feng to the house a few times, I don't like that person, I think he is not reliable at all. But Zihan's child is very stubborn, plus her sister's affairs, her father and I don't dare to interfere, as long as she thinks it's good, we accept it. But they have been together for many years, Zihan is 31 years old, she is an old girl in our countryside, and it is time to stabilize. While her father and I are still in good health, we can help her take care of the children and let her go to work with peace of mind. When we're older, we won't be able to help if we want to. ”

I think Ye Zihan's mother is a very gentle and virtuous woman, and she also cares and loves her children very much, if it weren't for the ignorant ancestral teachings like the two villages not intermarrying, how could Ye Yanfang die early, leaving endless sadness and pain to the people who love her.

"Actually, I like Luo Wenhao a lot, if it weren't for that ancestral ......" Hong Xiulian sighed sadly, "I'd rather Zihan and Luo Wenhao be together, even if she walks away like Ye Ying back then, it's better than following that Qin Feng." It's a pity, Luo Wenhao is already married, I heard that his wife used to be a ballet dancer in your dance company? ”

I nodded yes.

Her eyes were gloomy, and she looked sad and desolate. "He has found happiness, pity my Yan Fang, he can't live anymore......"

Her eyes filled with tears and she could no longer speak. I tried to comfort her, but my mouth was dull

After a long time, she wiped her tears and said softly: "Forget it, it's useless to have a heart, the child is older, has his own ideas, and he can't listen to us." You rest for a while, I'll go cook. ”

I looked at Hong Xiulian's thin back, and a tragic feeling was engraved in my heart. Qin Feng, he ruined Yu Meng's innocence and delayed Ye Zihan's youth, that man has a bad record, but my two very important friends are fascinated by him and have lost themselves for him.

Near noon, Senator Ye finally came. Hong Xiulian was very polite to him, adding food and vegetables for him, but Senator Ye was silent, still unapproachable. Later, Hong Xiulian took the initiative to talk to him: "Uncle, a few days ago, the town government convened a meeting between the village cadres and the elderly of the two villages to discuss the abolition of the ancestral training of non-intermarriage, Ye Zheng knew that you were definitely unwilling to go, so he didn't inform you." ”

Senator Ye snorted and did not speak.

I suddenly felt an inexplicable joy welling up in my heart. "The ancestral precept of non-intermarriage is going to be abolished?"

"The people in the town government are still doing their work, and I don't know if it can be done." Hong Xiulian's expression was faint, without joy or sorrow.

"How do you get to work?" I'm curious. The ancestral teachings that have lasted for more than 400 years have been adhered to by generations of old diehards in the two villages, who do not hesitate to beat mandarin ducks and break up the beautiful marriage of their children and grandchildren. It is not known whether the intervention of government departments will be effective.

Annette Hung told me that after the Chinese version of the ballet Romeo and Juliet was staged, the story behind the ballet attracted a lot of attention. There are also literary and historical experts who have spent a lot of time consulting local ancient books and related historical materials, proving that the legend that Yejia Village was exterminated by Luojia Village has no basis at all, hoping to set things right and resolve the contradictions between the two villages. But the younger generation accepted it, and the older generation remained the same.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, the two villages have more and more contact with the outside world, the villagers' minds have gradually become enlightened, and the old people are old, passing away one after another, and the young people ignore the so-called "old hatred". The village chiefs of the two villages were also successively held by the younger generation, and they and some village cadres took the lead in resolving the contradictions between the two villages, and the villagers also became enthusiastic.

There are frequent exchanges between young people in the two villages, and the call to break the concept of "no intermarriage" is becoming stronger and stronger. But many of the older villagers still haven't opened their hearts, after all, there needs to be a psychological process. What really prompted the abolition of non-intermarriage ancestral training on the agenda was the recent love between a man and a woman, the young man from Yejia Village and the girl from Luojia Village. It is said that the girl from Luo Village found the leader of the town and said to the leader: "Even if we use an axe to chop now, we can't split it." It is hoped that the government can pay attention to this incident, organize and coordinate, break the traditional concept, and do not let the young people who truly love each other lose their happiness. ”

Therefore, the town organized the women's federation and the relevant personnel of the village-based work team to intervene in the investigation, contact the parents of both sides, do their ideological work, and at the same time coordinate the village cadres and the elderly of the two villages to hold a symposium to listen to the opinions and ideas of both sides, and try to find ways to promote good communication between the two villages.

"Master, do you agree to abolish the ancestral teachings?" Knowing that the possibility is almost zero, I still can't help but want to hear what Senator Ye has to say.

I looked at Senator Ye, and the moment my eyes made contact with him, I found that there was something very gentle in the eyes of the harsh old man, and when I wanted to capture something, the gentle thing had disappeared, and he seemed weak and old. "I'm almost in the ground, I don't get involved in these things anymore, and I don't take a stand."

Although he kept himself out of the matter, I was still moved, and not expressing his position means that he will not raise objections, and deep down in his heart, he actually wants to abolish it, but he is unwilling to show compromise for the sake of face.

Hong Xiulian looked at me sadly. "Tong Xin, if Zu Xun can be abolished, you will also have a share of the credit, you are the heroine of that dance drama. It's a pity that Yan Fang couldn't wait for that day......"

For a while, I experienced a lot of things beyond my age, a lot of sorrow about life and death, and the loneliness of Ye Ying and Ye Yanfang.

Senator Ye put down the dishes and chopsticks and sighed softly, he was no longer the grumpy rich man, just like a kind and lonely old man.

I don't know when the power will be restored, I can only light candles at night, and late at night, I lie in bed and look at the flickering candlelight. Xiao Se hasn't come back yet, the room Hong Xiulian arranged for him is next door to me, I have been listening attentively, there is no footsteps, there is no sound of going upstairs, except for the sound of wind and rain outside, everything is so quiet. The silence filled the whole building, and I couldn't hold it anymore, so I rolled over and got out of bed, walked to the door in my slippers, and opened the door. At that moment, the sound of footsteps came, and soon Xiao Se appeared at the top of the stairs, covered in mud, gray, and embarrassed.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" He asked, somewhat surprised.

"Seeing that you haven't come back yet, I'm not sure." I honestly said, "It's good to be back, I can go to sleep in peace, good night." ”

"Go to sleep, good night." His tone was low and exhausting.

I went back to my room, closed the door, locked it, blew out the candles, and lay down on the bed. Tiredness immediately conquered me, and I quickly fell asleep.

I slept until nearly 10 o'clock in the morning, I went outside to brush my teeth and wash my face, and when I came back, I saw that the door next door was still closed.

During breakfast, I heard Hong Xiulian say that the mountain road had been repaired and opened to traffic, and Senator Ye asked me to go upstairs to wake up Xiao Se and go back early after lunch, in case it delayed and it rained again, it would be troublesome.

I went upstairs and knocked on the door, there was no response, turned the doorknob, it was unlocked inside, I pushed the door in. Xiao Se was still asleep, but his face was not peaceful, his brows were furrowed, his lips were closed, his muscles were stiff and taut, and it was written on his whole face that he was in a nightmare. What did he dream about? How melancholy and desolate that handsome face looked!

He was wearing a wide T-shirt and beach pants, which were probably Ye Zihan's brother's clothes. The bare legs and feet, because they were soaked in water for a long time, were white and wrinkled, and there were many scars.
