When I was five months pregnant, I went back to my ancestral home in Jiashi with Hengyuan.

It was night, and I had nothing to do, so I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the man's house, trying to find some treasures to come out and have fun.

It was the place where he lived for the longest time as a young man.

Wherever he went, he would point to a certain place and tell me a series of childhood anecdotes, which would always make me laugh.

His bad deeds are full of bad deeds, but now they sound very interesting.

Sometimes, I think that when I was young, I was so eager to see my brother Erjin who shared hardships in my childhood, and I always regretted that after parting, it would be difficult to see each other again.

However, at that time, he and I lived in different schools and different areas in the same city, but because fate did not arrive, we could not meet each other.

Yes, when I was in elementary school, he studied in another key junior high school in the city, and I had actually heard of the name Xiao Jingheng.

At that time, I heard Twilight say that this boy was the little bully in such and such a school.

It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see each other.

Later, he went to Beijing, and the two people who were thinking about each other missed each other deeply.

Immediately afterwards, his life circle and work circle also moved from Jiashi to Beijing, then from Beijing to Shanghai, and finally settled in Shanghai.

After knowing such a past, I always think: what would have happened if we had met?

It's always going to come to mind.

Of course, imagination is always imagination.

And that's how life comes by.

We missed, we reunited, we fell in love, we almost lived and died, we ended up together and conceived a child together......

That's all that matters.

That night, when I rummaged through a drawer, I found something suspicious: a couple ring.

Staring at the rings, I wondered:

Could it be that he bought it and was going to give it to Gu Lijun at the beginning?

Although, I already knew that Gu Lijun and him were not in the past, but that person, after all, had the most intimate relationship with him, and in my heart, there was more or less a snack taste.

"Jin Hengyuan, what's the situation?"

At that time, the man was doing push-ups next door, sweating profusely, and after being tapped on the shoulder a few times, he fell to the floor, panting and watching as he panted.

When he saw this red velvet box, he couldn't help but smile:

"You found it? I bought it when I first got married, and when I brought it back from Hong Kong, Yao Mei's mother happened to die of illness, and we had a very unpleasant quarrel...... But it's quite monumental......"

When I mentioned that, I remembered.

At that time, I had a really big opinion of him.

I also made awkward troubles, and I thought about divorce, and I planned to stay away from this ill-intentioned man.

Without him, when I first met, I was too wary of him.

People can't predict the future, if I had known that I would love him so much later, I would have chosen to believe instead of fleeing without hesitation.

People, only through experience can you know which person is credible, which person should stay away, and which person can promise a lifetime.

Looking at this pair of rings, the old scene suddenly reappeared, and I couldn't help but sigh softly, and then, I smiled and stretched out my finger, and gently asked:

"Here, put it on for me!"

"One hand, one hand? Are you trying to show off your wealth? ”

He asked with a smile, stood up, and took the ring over.

"This diamond is too big. From now on, I will wear this plain finger. ”

I love the simplicity of the style.

Marriage, it doesn't have to be too complicated, the simpler it is, the better.

Your heart, change my heart, that is the most real.

He put it on me and didn't object: "Whatever you want." As long as you're happy. ”

The tone is always so indulgent.

"I'll put it on for you, too!"

This pair of rings, which represents his original intention for me, is unpretentious, but still sparkles in the sun.

He smiled and watched me put it on him, and when he was done, he stretched out two hands to show off:

"Now, it's all trapped by you. Satisfied! Mrs. Jin. ”

I laughed heartily.

Very satisfied.

Quite proud.

It's quite a sense of accomplishment!

"Let's go, go back to the room!"

He suddenly led me back to the study and said, "There's another thing I want to give you!" ”

"What?"

I followed.

When he entered the study, he took out a wooden box from the mezzanine of the desk, shook it mysteriously with a smile, and said:

"It's a place where I treasured things when I was a kid."

When he opened it, he pulled out a framed painting from inside.

It is a sketch, drawn on a blank piece of paper.

"Do you recognize?"

He asked.

I was surprised to find that it was actually my childhood work, and the person in the painting was Jin Hengyuan when he was young, smiling and smiling at me......

"Recognize, why do you still keep it?"

I couldn't be overjoyed.

"Of course you have to keep it!"

He smiled slightly:

"That's the only thing you gave me when I went back to Beijing for treatment and left. It's also my most precious thing. I was afraid that it would be mushy, so I deliberately framed it...... I was afraid that I would lose it, so I packed it up and put it in the mezzanine...... At that time, I didn't have a safe deposit box......"

Oh, if it weren't for the deep thoughts, how could it be so well hidden?

I looked at it, I was inexplicably grateful, I couldn't speak for a long time, I only stroked it lightly with my fingers, thinking about the mood of painting at the beginning, and blurted out a question:

"Hengyuan, why do you always like to smile at me so much?"

"Who knows, since I met you, I've become very smiling. I can only say, Xiao Su, you have a kind of magic that can release my good emotions and make me happy......"

He smiled, hugged me, and went to the terrace, looking at the stars in the sky, and spoke very sweetly.

It was so sweet that I immediately laughed.

The child in the belly also moved because of my good mood.

Perhaps, this is what fate is meant to be.

That night, I had a dream, and I dreamed of him when I was young: handsome, tall and thin, step by step, he steadily walked into my sight and into my world.

……

Before the age of eight, Xiaoshu had a hard time.

She's in the hands of traffickers.

She misses home, misses her grandmother, and wants to escape from these bad people who have sold her again and again.

For this reason, she escaped several times, but she was caught, and then, she couldn't run away after a beating.

That day, Xiaoshu was arrested again, and in order to punish her, they put her on a willow tree, scolding and beating at the same time.

When the whip snapped down, blood-colored marks tore not only her clothes, but also her skin.

The delicate skin is peeled under the whip.

It hurts, but she endures it.

While the other children were screaming in fear, she was smiling—looking at the sun in the sky and smiling beautifully.

At that time, Xiaoshu longed for the sun and the warm relationship between people to heal her scarred heart.

It was also that day, in a grogginess, that she saw him.

A thin teenager, who should be about thirteen or fourteen years old, has a little dark skin, a scar on his forehead, and surprisingly good-looking facial features, but looks a little cold.

He stood in an inconspicuous corner, with a steadiness on his face that did not match his age, looking quietly, his eyes were sharp, deep and bright, as if he could cut through people's disguises and see through the essence of people.

When Xiaoshu's smile swept over him, confusion seemed to appear in his eyes.

What that meant, she naturally couldn't decipher.

"If you fight like this, you will die."

Suddenly, the young man walked up step by step and said a word for her.

Xiaoshu heard it, turned his head, and smiled at him gratefully, and finally couldn't support it, and his increasingly confused consciousness crushed her.

She fainted.

Woke up, on a broken mat, with a fever.

The unknown brother was taking care of her, and was heating her with a cold towel, and when he woke up, he asked with great concern:

"Does it hurt?"

Xiaoshu shook his head and said in a dumb voice:

"It hurt then, but it doesn't hurt now."

In fact, how could it not hurt, but she was numb from burning at that time.

"Homesick, huh? Just now you've been calling grandma! ”

Xiaoshu did dream of her grandmother, and dreamed of going back because she felt that she was going to die.

In the confusion, she asked him miserably:

"Will I still be alive? Big brother, am I going to die? ”

This time, Xiaoshu was beaten very badly, and she felt inexplicably desperate for the future.

He seemed to feel it, and hurriedly stroked her forehead and comforted, "Of course you can." Don't get cranky. If you'd like, would you tell me how your home was like? ”

The little book was appeased, and after thinking about it, he took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket and said to him:

"This is my home. Big brother, can you help me see, how is my drawing? ”

When he saw it, he was surprised and praised it, saying, "Well, there are mountains, rivers and homes." Very good. ”

The little book is very happy, the feeling of being appreciated, it is great, very good.

At that moment, she inexplicably had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in her heart, and she had a deep affection for this young man, and she couldn't help but like it.

Later, he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Little book, Liao Xiaoshu. Big brother, what's your name? ”

"My name is Erjin."

"Two pounds? What a strange name. Was your mother only two pounds when she gave birth to you? ”

"It's not."

"Are you a good person or a bad person?"

"Do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?"

Xiaoshu looked at him, tilted his head, and said very seriously: "You are good-looking, I hope you are not in the same group as them." They're all bad guys. I hope you're a good person. ”

Erjin blinked, but didn't answer, but asked another question: "Xiaoshu, you were beaten just now, and you were beaten like this and injured like this, why are you still laughing?" ”

"Why cry? I don't cry. I'm going to laugh forever. ”

"Why?"

He was so curious that he couldn't help but ask again.

"If you cry a lot, you won't remember how you used to laugh. A smiling face is not the same as a crying face, and my grandmother only recognizes my smiling face. In the future, I will go to my grandmother with this face...... I can't get the smile out of my way. I'm going home. ”

That day, Xiaoshu said so seriously.

That was actually the greatest hope in her heart, and her eyes were shining with enthusiasm because of this.

Erjin watched quietly, and after being silent for a long time, he asked again: "That...... Do you have a dream? Or, do you know what a dream is? ”

"Yes!"

"And what are your dreams?"

"I'm going to study, I'm going to learn to draw, I'm going to be a learned person. I want to earn a lot of money, raise my grandmother, feed my grandmother meat, don't eat vegetables every day. I'm going to make beautiful huts that don't leak rain. I'm going to wear clothes without pudding and be a good three-good student. I'm going to travel the world and be a painter......"

She dreams so much.

Although every dream is so unattainable with her.

However, she felt that it was better than nothing.

"Brother Erjin, why do you look at me like this? Do you want to be like everyone else, laughing at me in my heart, this is a daydream? ”

She had said this to others, but those people would only laugh at her:

It's a whimsical idea.

So after that, she never talked about the idea again - because we couldn't talk about it together.

It wasn't until she read the book later that she realized what idiom should be used to summarize this situation: the Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.

And at this moment, after listening to Erjin, he only smiled gently, and that smile was very charming.

Xiaoshu was surprised to find that this big brother laughed, it was so warm, those eyes seemed to be dyed by the morning sun, and the whole person suddenly brightened, making people suddenly feel like they saw the morning sun, and endless hope rose in their hearts.

"Not a pipe dream. It's a great dream. Only when there is a dream in the heart can life be pursued, innovated, and motivated...... You're great, better than me......"

He reached out and gently stroked her face, the touch with a hint of pity:

"Xiaoshu, as long as you are willing to trust me, I will definitely be able to bring you a different future. Do you believe me? ”

"Really?"

Xiaoshu's eyes suddenly brightened with a smile, and he was crooked, just like the bright crescent moon.

"I'm not lying."

These four people, he said very solemnly, made her believe that he was not joking.

"Well, I believe you. Pull the hook! ”

She held out her little finger, and he looked at it, smiled, and held out her little finger as well.

They hooked up.

"Hang yourself for a hundred years." She made a covenant in a hoarse voice.

"Hang yourself for a hundred years." He whispered yes.

……

Who could have known that the gears of fate, because of such a hook, will be opened.

Because of her strong and unyielding smile, because of her seemingly insignificant dreams, he was deeply shocked, so he searched for so many years in order to fulfill his promise.

It wasn't until the photo was found in the relics of the little uncle that they had their first reunion, and only then did they have all kinds of sad and detached life experiences, and there was such a story.

Yes, this is the story of Jin Hengyuan and Xiao Su.

The story is not over, because they are still alive, still moving forward on the unknown path of life, and together with everyone, they are struggling for their dreams......
