XII. Late gifts

This night, he slept very soundly, and it was the most restful night in these days. He needs to get rid of distractions and go to battle with all his might.

He didn't return for two years, many family and friends thought he was dead, through the past few days and Li Ruoxi's understanding, his mother has missed her son almost every day with tears in the past two years, and his body has aged a lot, but he can't leave his sick brother, he can only do some work to pick up rags, and life is very difficult.

Zhao Yuankang almost shed tears, his own disaster caused his mother to suffer and his younger brother to suffer, it was really in vain for a son of man.

In the past, it was just a matter of wandering outside and having no long things, but now, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a return to the hometown, and it is time for my mother to improve her life.

He returned to a slightly unfamiliar home, for the small village, two years, not much has changed, but his mood has changed.

When his mother opened the door and saw the longing face, she immediately burst into tears, and he hugged his thin mother and felt a sense of warmth.

He left 20,000 yuan for his family, took his mother to the hospital for treatment of rheumatism and bone pain for many years, and bought clothes for his younger brother, and he wanted to repay his mother for the guilt of the past two years.

Looking at his mother's long-lost smile and his brother's sleeping appearance, he felt that all his hard work was worth it.

After settling down his family, he concentrated on preparing his own career - the establishment of the Chinese Studies Society.

He gave the Chinese Academy a name that was both loud and meaningful - Yuanfeng.

Yuan, the beginning of all things, has the shape of a dragon. Feng, although the glyph is concise, but it covers a comprehensive scale. On the whole, it is a trend of standing up to the sky and the earth, and the left and right are at the source. Becoming a king and becoming a lord is a sign of abundance.

He chose the place of the Chinese Culture Society on a two-story building next to the Walker Bridge, which contains the ancient charm of the thousand-year-old Yanzhao culture, and is the most spiritual treasure with the color of Chinese culture.

He planned the entire layout according to the style of the Han Dynasty Academy, and all of them were designed with antique decorations and furniture, which made people yearn for the study atmosphere of Han and Tang culture.

A table, a chair, a plaque and a beam, all abandon the complicated and return to the basics, giving people a quiet and meditative environment.

At the same time, he sincerely sent the first invitation to Mr. Li Ruoxi after the establishment of the Chinese Studies Society.

This is not his whim, love for the house and Wu, but he is familiar with Li Ruoxi's abilities and dreams, he will never do things nepotism, but will make the best use of his talents and materials.

Li Ruoxi showed a talent for painting in high school, and although she majored in kindergarten during college, she studied Chinese painting as a specialty skill.

Her flower and bird work "Wild Goose Return" was selected for the third prize of Handan's 2014 "Youth Blooming" new literary and artistic works.

Teaching and educating people, preaching and receiving a job, this is where her life value lies. And showing up to sell pancakes in the wind, frost, rain and snow is just an expedient measure in life.

Besides, she can endure the doubts of others and willingly guard the pancake stand because she is waiting for him. He couldn't let her suffer anymore.

As a man, he needs to give her a happy life and help her achieve her dreams.

"Thank you for your kindness, I'll consider it seriously." Li Ruoxi smiled lightly, did not refuse, and did not agree.

A few days later, it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and Zhao Yuankang hurriedly rushed back to the daimyo's hometown and spent the first reunion festival after returning home with his mother and younger brother.

He looked at the bright full moon in the sky like a jade plate, and looked at the moonlight under his feet, and couldn't help but think of Li Bai's silent night thoughts:

Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown.

At this moment, home is his warmest harbor.

Three more days will be a special day.

In the 918th year of the solar calendar, remember history and remember the martyrs, so that those who were born in the era of peace will never forget the national shame.

The eighteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the day of the high tide of the Qiantang River, Li Ruoxi's birthday. This is where the distress two years ago came.

Originally, he was ready to propose, but everything was stalled because of the ghost king tide. He wants to make up for the regrets of the year this year.

He booked a small single room in a high-end Chinese restaurant in advance, and drove Li Ruoxi to pick up Li Ruoxi at 5 p.m. to go on this romantic date.

He took Li Ruoxi's hand and pushed open the door of promise. Li Ruoxi was immediately shocked by the romantic arrangement in the house.

The whole room flickered on and off under a dazzling rotating light, red, blue, yellow, green, purple, changing and intertwined, reflecting on the roof, like an incomparably vast starry sky.

On the opposite background wall, like a time machine, replays the bits and pieces of their acquaintance, acquaintance, and love.

Youthful high school accompaniment, unforgettable outings, holding hands to watch the sunset, strolling and chasing the waves......

The memory photos on the wall were scattered like stars, gradually fading and disappearing, and finally a line of words composed of red candles appeared:

I wish Li Ruoxi Xiaogongju eternal youth and happy companionship

At the moment when Li Ruoxi's moved eyes moistened, a soft and sincere confession sounded in his ears:

I, Zhao Yuankang, am willing to give you happiness for the rest of my life.

In the dim light, Zhao Yuankang knelt down on one knee and presented her with a handful of delicate roses.

It's been a long time since that rain, and no matter how you dodge, you can't escape it.

Fate is destined to be providence, and it is the trace of the tears of the sky

Spring has gone, and autumn is the most beautiful memory

......

Listen to you cry quietly, I am your only one, let me snuggle in your arms

Say love to you softly, you are my only one, you and I walk into zero distance.

……

Zhao Yuankang affectionately sang the song "Zero Distance" he wrote for love, injecting that heavy love into this song, and at this moment, as a blessing for her birthday, share it with her.

Bang, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, all the past events dissipated like clouds, and the singing drifted away, only the man in front of him who had died and returned miraculously was still smiling like sunshine.

"Thank you for giving me an unforgettable birthday." Li Ruoxi said softly, stepped forward, and gave him a loving hug.

"If you like it, I'll do it for you." Zhao Yuankang imprinted a deep kiss mark on her forehead.

"This is just the beginning, and there are surprises to come."

Zhao Yuankang said, beckoned to the door, and two waitresses pushed the dining cart and began to serve the food. Each dish has a beautiful meaning.

Sweet honey (osmanthus glutinous rice dates), Jinyu Mantang (corn lotus seed soup), Steaming (spicy steamed pork), Centennial Haohe (celery fried lily), auspicious Ruyi (fried bamboo shoots with shredded chicken), ......

The last one - clear water and clear lotus. I saw a transparent glass container shaped like a lotus flower, filled with water. But the green water ripples, as if there is infinite vitality, clear to the bottom, and the flow waves flicker.

"It's so beautiful, it feels like you're facing the sea." Li Ruoxi shouted excitedly.

"The reason why this bowl of water can reflect the spirit of the sea is because of this baby."

Zhao Yuankang stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the air on the lotus bowl, and a thumb-sized turquoise water droplet jumped out of the water and flew into his hand.

The bowl of water suddenly lost its vitality and color, and was just a bowl of white water.

"Ruoxi, this is my birthday gift to you today - Bishui Qinglian. I think only your beauty can be worthy of the purest crystal in the world. Zhao Yuankang presented this crystal necklace with both hands.

This clear water and clear lotus, the whole body is green and quiet, like spring grass with dew. It was carved into a blooming lotus flower by skilled craftsmen.

The lotus leaves are divided into two layers, and each layer has five flowers scattered and distributed. One of the lotus flowers opened, and eighteen lotus seeds were scattered like teardrops.

This lotus necklace, both from the material and from the carving, is a superior work. And it is very in line with Li Ruoxi's temperament of "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving".

As the saying goes, "swords give heroes, and red powder gives beauties." "Friendship with people, watering flowers and roots", gift-giving, but a complex science, not in how valuable things to give, but in sending them to the other party's heart.

It is necessary to do what it likes, but also to be ingenious. Let people feel full of sincerity, and this can reach the level of heart-to-heart.

And this clear water and clear lotus, there is also a layer of secret, only Zhao Yuankang knows.

This thing contains the imprint of the Dharma, and has the miraculous effect of warding off ghosts. After experiencing so many strange things, he was really afraid of losing Li Ruoxi. He will shoulder the burden of helping the world in the future, and it is impossible to protect Li Ruoxi at all times, with this talisman magic weapon, he can block the evil evil for Li Ruoxi at a critical moment, and it can also allow him to avoid some worries and go all out to fight and fight.

He hugged Li Ruoxi, she leaned on his arms, sweetly eating the delicious food he sandwiched, the years are long, there are only you and me in the world.

"I'm so glad to have you spend this birthday with me. Do you know? I look forward to your return every year, but I am lost every year. ”

"Not anymore, I will always be by your side."

"We are both young, your career has just started, and I have decided to start a business with you and build a future life together."

"I knew you would agree. My wife, wise. ”

"Who promised to be your wife, I still have to see your performance."

The two chatted sweetly, feeling that they met in this life and gathered in this day.
