Chapter Twenty-Three: Growing Old Together

The young people and the children looked dazzled, the big ones were finished, and they began to put the small ones for the children, the pearls drank several cups of fruit wine, but they didn't expect to be a little drunk, looking at the laughter so happily, and looking at their Zhou Ze gently and reluctantly, at this moment, the pearl was really moved, and the heart was broken, a woman's life! The most beautiful and splendid youth, how precious, when she promised a lifetime, in fact, has put happiness into the hands of the other party. If the marriage fails, then the beauty and youth, which are the proudest and most valuable of a woman, as well as the heart full of anticipation and hope for the future, will no longer exist. And for some women, ending a failed marriage, she will be angry, crazy, sad and desperate, but in the end she still believes in love and actively invests in another relationship, even if she has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and she has persevered. But for some women, there is never a way to start over, the heart is like water, turning love into career and hobbies, and turning backbone and pride into support for despair and loneliness. Let go of your heart, protect and instruct those who are happy, until the last moment, stick to your arrogance, you can close your eyes and let the tears flow.

Today's pearl, I have experienced so much, so much, I saw the man in front of me, looked at myself, as if I was the beloved wife of the man who was cherished and pampered, and had to think about love before he died, the happy woman. The pearl is so envious, and I feel relieved, three lives and three lives, all I want is to get along with each other, and grow old together. Now, in such a situation. Fulfilled the long-cherished wish of several lifetimes. Holding back her tears, Pearl asked her daughter to go in and take out her piano.

Wei Ji quickly brought Pearl's zither and put it away, Pearl faced Zhou Ze and said, "I'll sing you a tune!" ”

"Oh? All right! Zhou Ze was very happy, he had never heard his wife sing, and when the others saw this posture, they all came over, and Fan Ji carried two more lanterns and put them on the nearby pole.

"I've told you love in this life

Until today, I haven't been in love

Even if the years fade and forget the spring

The fragrance of flowers is still in your arms

Take care of every second

The world of love doesn't get old

The red face is white in estrus

In the blink of an eye, life is full of joys and sorrows

We cried and laughed

I've told you about love in this life

From young all the way to old age

Even if the wind and rain wrinkle the corners of the eyes

Don't let love cry anymore

Once and forever

Who knows where it ends

The red face has faded, and the gray hair is floating

It's still your best in this life

No one can change ......"

Pearl's harp. The voice is very loud, with a little internal force, the volume is expanded, and she sings loudly. The articulation is clear. She started to be heard singing 'love' or something. I'm still a little embarrassed, but after listening to it, I can quickly figure it out. Raise your eyebrows. White-headed to old, so women's hopes, listening to all women, as well as those old men who don't know what love is, also feel sour in their hearts, Zhou Ze is blessed, what a good couple, but Zhou Ze's end is about to come, thinking of the things that Liu did, it was a little unexpected, but it was also reasonable, and now that I have listened to this song, there is no hesitation and suspicion at all. They don't know how to love this thing, but they know that this is affection, although this affection can be friendship, family affection, but to have such affection, to have this heart, and to do it desperately, that is worthy of anyone's respect and love. Even if you don't agree, you have to sigh in your heart, husband and wife are going to live and die, everyone knows this cognition, as if they know that the death sentence is given, but just waiting for the executioner to be in the mood one day. What does that taste like? Everybody thought about it.

Zhou Ze listened to the song sung by his wife, which was very good, but he didn't remember that his wife said love, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but he understood the meaning, the more he understood, the more reluctant he was, and he couldn't let it go!

The pearl stopped playing, a few girls also came to pull the pearl into the house, and the piano was also brought back, Zhou Ze, the village chief Guo Changsheng, and several old brothers all sat next to Zhou Ze, not knowing how to comfort him, but he just changed the topic, and it was very hard, whether it was talking or listening, it was uncomfortable! It was Guo Changsheng who said to Zhou Ze, "Brother, people know enough!" Brother envy you! Your life is worth living. Don't worry, if I live for a day, I won't look at their mothers, besides, the second and third are all good, and the four girls are filial, she has done so much, just to make you happy, let you go happy, no regrets, no worries. If you are too careful, but you have failed your brother and sister to do so much. Let it go! Let go of everything and let him see you laugh, laugh genuinely, that's the only thing you can do now. If you have any wishes to tell your younger siblings, what you want to eat, what you want to wear, just say, the more you ask, the more she will be absolutely happy, and the more relaxed her heart will be. ”

Zhou Ze wiped away his tears and said, "Brother still understands!" I know, I don't think about it, I'm content, what's not content, I'm content! He sighed, not because he was tired, not because he was aggrieved, but because he was relieved. Death is bound to come, but how to make the living people not suffer more harm because of their departure, that's what he should do. If you meet your wife's desire to reciprocate and be down-to-earth, she will be happy. When she is gone, she will no longer have a burden. It won't be that painful.

The next day, Pearl was still the same as usual, personally boiling porridge for her husband in a clay pot, today is barley porridge, put red dates! Because of the japonica rice used, the taste and nutrition are better. In addition to the porridge, a small strip of fried fish, two boiled eggs, and shredded cucumbers were prepared. Let Dingjiang bring it to Zhou Ze, he is going out again, and the second child is already waiting outside. I went to the county seat this time because there was news from the tooth shop in the county, there was a good house to sell, and Mei Darttou also asked people to send a letter to Pearl and let Pearl go once, because he had news there.

In fact, during this time, Feng Jia and Xie Gang had already sent people to Pearl's house twice, bringing a lot of gifts, ostensibly asking Pearl to forgive, but in fact, they hoped to pick up the Gu worms on their bodies, but Pearl told them. This Gu worm will not be unraveled, if they die unexpectedly, then these two people will definitely be buried together, if the pearl dies, they will be fine, and there are benefits, with this Gu worm, they will not invade with a hundred poisons! Where can you find such a good thing? Of course, things are also left, and if the gifts are not accepted, it seems that the pearls are still hostile. When the time comes, they will be killed. I don't have more to gain than I lose. This is the best situation, and everyone is relieved.

Pearl went to Mei Darttou first, and this time she went over, and Pearl brought a basket. Inside the basket were two pieces of embroidery. I told everyone that it was to sell it for silver. In fact, there were five hundred taels of silver in it, and ten of the great ones were fifty taels and one ingot. There were also six pieces of silver in five taels and one ingot, and two pieces of brocade in the frame, and two large gold bracelets on his wrists, and a red envelope with a hundred taels of silver in it, which was for emergencies.

After getting out of the car, Pearl asked Zhou Xin to buy japonica rice, and this morning Zhou Ze said that he wanted to eat white rice, and he also wanted to eat braised pork and spiced broad beans. Although good rice is expensive, but their family is not unaffordable, Pearl gave his son ten taels of silver, let him buy a bag of japonica rice, to the best, but also to buy fresh pork, but also the best parts, fat and thin, not too fat. Spiced broad beans went to the restaurant to buy, and the best ones were there.

Mei Darthead saw that Pearl was coming, and hurriedly asked his wife to pour tea, Pearl sat down, and Mei Darthead said, "You asked me to help check everything I found."

Pearl laughed when she heard the good news. After a long time, when Zhou Xin finished buying things and came to pick up the pearls, the pearls happened to come out of it.

"Mother, shall we go to see the house?"

"No, it's been bought, the deed has been obtained, and the red deed has been done. Have you bought your stuff well? Pearl asked,

Zhou Xin nodded and said, "It's all bought, by the way, my father said that he would plant rice this year, mother, you see ......"

Their place is close to the north, there is some trouble in planting rice, and it may not be able to harvest a bumper harvest, and besides, there are few rice growers within a hundred miles of them, and they have no experience, and if they want to grow rice, it is best to plant the best fields, and when the family is separated, those fields, I don't know who will belong to them?

Pearl understood what the second child meant, and said, "Leave the high-quality fields to grow rice, and if they don't agree and want to make trouble, just make some other compensation." The most important thing now is your father's wishes. Pearl said to Zhou Xin very seriously, Zhou Xin nodded, "That's what my mother said." ”

After that, Zhou Xin asked again, "Mother, I see that your face is not very good, is there any news?" ”

"Your aunt is still here, but life is not very good, and she has no son, and her daughter is married. Now I live with my mother-in-law's family and my brother-in-law. It's tough! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xin was a little unsure,

"Bring your aunt here, give her mother-in-law a generous gift, if you look good, follow us to live, if not, see your father, live for a few days and send it back, and give some silver, that's it." Pearl considered that if the three sons were separated, it might be a little troublesome for her to take her four daughters to live, and she needed someone to help support the portal, and if this sister-in-law was not easy to get along with, then forget it.

"That's ...... over there?"

"There is some trouble in my hometown, I didn't expect that the Zhou family is a big family over there, and the current patriarch, that is, your father's uncle, is now a lifter, if you want your grandparents and your father to go back, it will take more effort."

"My son got it." Zhou Xin's expression is also a little unnatural, or is he incompetent! Dad must know the situation in his hometown, unless they have a noble status, or have fame and status, there is no way to go back. But although my father had great hopes for the eldest brother, he later gave up, and although he and the third child actively wanted to join the army, he was still resolutely opposed.

On the way back for the two of them, Zhou Xin asked Pearl, "Mother, if you split the family, should you only divide the eldest brother, or let the third child go out as well." Or ......"

"The boss must go out, and I can't leave this pair of wolves around me and my weak sons and daughters who can bite people to death at any time. The third child still has to take a look, if the third child still does not distinguish between right and wrong, and is pinched by the Zhang family, in order to save worry, they will also go out. But since the eldest and third are separated, you must also score out. ”

"Mother! I won't go out, how can I do it without a single man in my family? Zhou Xin was very excited,

Pearl looked at the scenery on the road and said leisurely, "Mourn your parents, give birth to me, every parent, from the day the child is born, how much effort has been paid!" From holding in your arms to walking with support, a little illness will make your parents feel like a great enemy, and they can't wait to replace each other, but in the end, the more you pay, the greater the disappointment, and the more sad and sad you are...... It's not just once, it's every day, every moment, from opening your eyes, from waking up, that kind of pain, people can't breathe, even if you know that you are going to die, you still can't let go......

Pearl said that she was disappointed in her children, but in fact, she also meant that her husband, relatives, friends, and people need to go through these in their lives, and will it be bitter soon? It's just that these words are in Zhou Xin's ears, and he thinks about a lot of things. (To be continued.) )
