Chapter Eighty-Five: A Word for Life
"Well, I think I've heard about that, too." When the old ghost heard what I had said, he echoed and said, "At that time, I heard that this was true! β
I nodded to the old ghost and didn't speak. I remember reading it in an old newspaper and I was very impressed when I saw it. Whether it's true or not, at least, it's an outpouring of true feelings. This is a kind of sublimation of feelings, perhaps, it has long exceeded the scope of love.
After listening to my story, I didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that Duoduo didn't speak, I asked her, "What's wrong?" Listen silly? β
"You're stupid!" Duoduo slapped me lightly and said, "I'm thinking about the story you are telling, how good you say the relationship between this pair of old men is!" Fang Yu, when we are old, will you still be so good to me? β
ββ¦β¦β
I didn't answer in time, but I was a little curious: why did the girl suddenly ask such strange questions? It's hard to say how long people can live, but who can know what is so far away?
"Forget it! Hum! Seeing that I didn't answer immediately, Duoduo said angrily.
"Haha, yes, yes, of course!" I hurriedly said to Duoduo.
"Hmph, don't listen! What's the point of saying it now? Duoduo said, "I said so unwillingly." β
After saying that, Duoduo turned around and ignored me.
I knew it was because I was not good, and I didn't give a timely answer that made me angry. It's not that I'm unfamiliar with Duoduo's feelings, but maybe I've experienced too much during this time, and I actually mind things like vows very much. I didn't have an answer in time to suddenly ask this question.
And Duoduo may have misunderstood that my feelings for her have changed, and I have no choice but to accompany Duoduo.
But Duoduo still ignored me, and she stepped aside and stopped talking.
At this time. Lisa walked up to me and said, "Go and coax!" Girls like to listen to good things the most, so you can say more good things. Pick what she likes to watch and listen to the most, and coax her to be happy! β
I just nodded to Lisa, then walked up to Duoduo again and said, "Duoduo." It's me who is bad, don't you get angry, okay? I didn't answer in time just now because I've been through so much, and I didn't expect you to ask such a question. It's not that I don't have confidence in our feelings, it's just that I'm not sure about tomorrow! β
Duoduo didn't speak, but I could tell she was listening to me.
So I said, "What we have to do now is to cherish the present." Make the most of each day. As long as I'm with you, it's more important than anything else. As long as I live for a day, I will love you for a day. You have to believe that there is no change in my feelings for you. β
Listening to me say this, my face softened slightly.
I continued: "I am not sure in the future, and I dare not take the future lightly. However, I can take control of the present. Grasp the present. That's the future. You have to believe that I have seared you deep in my soul. I live one day. I will love you for a day and cherish you for a day. I'm going to have many, many children with you in the future, and we're going to make a big, big family! β
When Duoduo heard me say this, he suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Who wants to have a child with you?" β
"You!" I say.
When I saw Duoduo and smiled, I knew that there was nothing wrong. But. My funny psychology is starting to haunt me again at this moment: "We still have to give birth to a lot of little Duoduo, a lot of little Fang Yu!" β
"Go away!" Duoduo said, "The more you talk about it, the more indecent it becomes!" β
When I saw that I was so angry, I said, "I'm telling you a story to atone for your sins!" β
"That's pretty much it!" Duoduo turned to smile and said, "Pick the one that sounds good." Touching story to tell! β
I nodded and said, "There is a girl who has weak legs when she is young, and she can only sit at the door and watch other children play all the year round, which is very lonely.
One summer, the neighbor's city came to play and brought their children. Among them, there was a boy who was five years older than the girl.
Because of their young age, the boy and the children in the neighborhood quickly got along. I went up the mountain and down the river with them, and I was very tanned and laughed happily. The difference is that he doesn't use foul language. Moreover, he noticed a little girl who couldn't walk.
The boy was the first to put the caught dragonfly in the girl's palm, the first to carry the girl to the river, the first to tell the girl a story, the first to tell her that her leg could be cured. The first ...... If you think about it, it's also the last one.
A rare smile for a girl?
At the end of the summer, the boy's family was leaving. The girl came with tears in her eyes and whispered in his ear: 'After I heal my leg, will I marry you?' β
The boy nodded.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. The boy grew from an innocent child to a mature man. He opened a coffee shop, had a fiancΓ©e, and lived a very ordinary and peaceful life.
One day, he received a phone call from a woman in a soft voice saying that her leg was healed and that she had come to the city. For a moment, he couldn't even remember who she was. He had long forgotten the story of a summer in his childhood, the little girl with a pale face, and the promise of kindness of a child.
However, he still took her in and asked her to help in the store. He found that she was silent almost all the time.
But he didn't have time to care about her, and his fiancΓ©e was pregnant with a child that wasn't his. Filled with shame, he threw away everything he was going to use for his marriage. Since then, he has been drinking heavily every day, becoming violent and irritable, and even his family has alienated him.
His business was even more unintentional, and soon he fell seriously ill.
During this time, she has been by his side, taking care of him, tolerating his beatings and scolding when he is drunk, and supporting the crumbling small shop independently. She has learned a lot of things, and she is so tired that she is skinny, but there are always two points of brilliance in her eyes.
Half a year later, he finally recovered.
In the face of what she did, there was only gratitude. He gave her the shop, but she insisted on not wanting it, so he had to declare that she was half the owner. With her help, he slowly perked himself up again. He regarded her as a close friend, and confided in her from the bottom of his heart, and she still listened in silence.
He didn't understand what she was thinking, and he just felt like he needed a patient listener.
And so it went for a few more years.
He also had a few girlfriends, but they didn't last long, and he couldn't find the feeling anymore.
She too, has always been celibate.
He found that she was actually very elegant, with a natural charm and no shortage of suitors.
He laughed at her high heart, she just smiled.
Finally, one day, he got tired of his calm state and decided to go out for a walk. Before getting his passport, he officially handed over the one qiΔ in the store to her.
This time, she didn't object. Just said: "I'll keep this shop for you for the time being, and when you come back, you will still be the boss." β
Without further ado, he embarked on a journey to a foreign land......
The days of wandering in a foreign land were bitter and tiring. But in this suffering, he found a wide vision and a broad mind. All kinds of sorrows in the past have become dull and clear.
He suddenly realized that no matter whether he was sick or healthy, poor or rich, happy or unsatisfactory, she was the only one who really accompanied him. His whereabouts are uncertain, but her letters are always followed behind him, only a few words, lightly, but always feel warm.
It's time to go back, he thought. Back to this woman who deserves to be with you for the rest of her life.
When he returned home, he was touched by her good intentions: whether at home or in the store, his things were always well preserved, as if waiting for him to come back at any time.
He saw what she had done for him, and he was even more determined in his decision. So he called out her name with joy and excitement, but no one answered.
After asking carefully, I learned that there was a new supervisor in the store.
The new supervisor sued him that it had been half a year since she died of overwork......
At her orders, the new supervisor kept a special eye on his whereabouts. sent out the hundreds of letters she had left behind, and managed the business of the store for him; Clean up the house for him and wait for him to come back.
The new director handed him her relics: a specimen of a dragonfly and a tape. And told him that the tape was the last thing she wanted to say. It's a pity that she never had a chance to say it.
The man's heart was like a knife, but he slowly released the tape. Only she in the belt when she returned to the light, like a girlish whisper:
"I ...... Marry you...... All right......? β
Twenty-seven years later, he wept like a child.
No one knows that sometimes, a woman will use her whole life to say such a simple sentence. β
After I finished telling this story, Duoduo didn't speak, which was much to my surprise. Because according to Duoduo's habits, whether I say it well or not, she will react. And, it's that very different reaction.
When I speak well, she is usually extremely moved, and then "overflows with feelings"; If I don't tell it well, she'll say, "What kind of story is this? Retelling!! β
And I, too, will make compensations for the good or the bad accordingly. In general, after I have said it, I will enjoy happiness beautifully; However, if I don't do it well, then I have to rack my brains to make it up, or think about it, or remember a story. It wasn't until I was satisfied that I could "redeem my freedom."
After seeing that she was silent for a long time, I asked her, "Uh...... What's wrong? Am I going to be bad? β
Duoduo turned her face, and I was shocked, she actually burst into tears!
I couldn't see a lot of tears, so I quickly asked her, "Why are you crying?" If you don't think I've done a good job, I'll give you a new one. β
Duoduo shook his head, leaned on my shoulder, and asked, "Why do you want to tell such a story?" Why aren't the two of them together? β
I sighed a little and said, "The world is impermanent, how many people can be happily together?" I just want to tell you this story: It's hard to say it in the future, I love you now! (To be continued......)
