Chapter 40: I Will Love You Forever
October 5, 2006, the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
It is advisable to bathe, break the house, and sacrifice, and do not take anything else.
Don't travel.
At ten o'clock in the morning, He Huanyu, who was still lying in bed, was woken up by Xia Jianren and Zhou Jianlong, who came to deliver money.
Accompanied by Zhou Jianlong, Xia Jianren reluctantly handed the black plastic bag containing 40,000 yuan to He Huanyu.
Looking at his mournful appearance, He Huanyu could only say that he knew this was the case, why bother in the first place.
Everyone is responsible for their actions.
So this money, he received it with peace of mind.
"Hard work Officer Zhou, I have to catch the train today, and next time I have the opportunity to invite you to dinner." He Huanyu was also unambiguous, and gave Zhou Jianlong a blank check in a big way.
"Then I'll have to break the bank." Zhou Jianlong didn't refuse, he handed over a form and said, "Okay, I won't delay your time here, you sign and I'll lead him back to the office." ”
Yes, poor Xia Jianren still needs some more formalities to complete before he can go home.
Seeing off the two, He Huanyu, who was already sleepy, was just about to go to take a bath when she received a call from Cheng Xuanji from her grandmother's house.
"Xiao He, my dad came to my grandmother's house, he and my mother quarreled, and the quarrel was so fierce," Cheng Xuanji's voice on the other side of the phone was no longer as high as before, but there was a little panic and confusion, "Xiao He, what do you say I should do, should they want a divorce?" ”
He Huanyu suddenly remembered Cheng Xuanji's tragic experience back then, it turned out that she gave up on herself at that time, did she have anything to do with her parents?
"We can't manage this kind of thing as children." He Huanyu sighed, he wanted to try to comfort, but he didn't know where to start, "It's their own problem, and our involvement in it will only make things more complicated, maybe worse." ”
"But I don't want them to divorce." On the other end of the phone, Cheng Nuxia's voice was a little crying, "Xiao He, do you know? When I was a child, I liked it most when my parents took me out at night.
"At that time I could ride on my dad's shoulders with either a marshmallow or a sugar gourd in my hand. I can eat delicious food while watching all kinds of interesting things on the road......
Cheng Xuanji's voice became a little softer, as if she was reminiscing about those old times that had passed.
On the other side of the phone, the quarrel between her parents was getting louder and louder, and even He Huanyu could faintly hear the sound of them scolding and throwing things.
"Xiao He, you say, why are these good times always so short?" Cheng Xuanji asked as if he was a little puzzled.
Because gaining and losing is the eternal theme of life.
He Huanyu thought silently in his heart, but his mouth was comforting, "There will be more and happier things in the future, but many times we feel accustomed to it when we have it, so we can't notice it." ”
"But Xiao He, I really don't want them to divorce." Cheng Xuanji's voice wilted, "Then I will become a child that no one wants." ”
"Then live a little better by yourself, and you don't have to rely on them to live, you see me." He Huanyu persuaded him, and he even persuaded his parents to divorce.
"You're amazing." Cheng Xuanji admired, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
"Fear doesn't solve the problem." He Huanyu said, "Don't think too much, this is not something you can change at all." ”
"But I can't." Cheng Xuanji was a little aggrieved.
"Then find a way to divert your attention and find something you like to do."
"Can I find you to stay with me?" Cheng Xuanji asked cautiously.
"Am I talking to you on the phone?" He Huanyu laughed a little.
"Then you tell me a story......
"But I won't......"
"I don't care, if you talk about one, just talk about one~" Cheng Nuxia actually began to be coquettish.
"Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple in the mountain, there was an old monk and a little monk in the temple, the little monk pestered the old monk to tell him a story, and the old monk said, once upon a time there was a mountain ......"
"This one doesn't work, change another one...... Xiao He, you should be serious~"
"Okay, then I'll tell you a story I've seen before." He Huanyu thought for a while and said, "Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was an orphan.
One day he was adopted by the little girl's family, and slowly, he found that he fell in love with the little girl from his adoptive father's family, and would silently pay attention to everything about her.
"On the little girl's eighth birthday, the little girl's father brought a big cake for the little girl, and the little girl was very happy. He also said that he would marry the cake master in the future, because he could eat cake every day, so the boy remembered it in his heart and secretly learned to make cakes.
"For another year's birthday, the little girl's father brought her a new dress, and the little girl wore a beautiful dress and spun in circles, smiling happily. He also said that he would marry a tailor in the future, so that he could wear new clothes every day, so the boy secretly went and learned how to make clothes.
Then another year, the little girl's best friend's father bought a new car and took her best friend out for a drive. The little girl looked envious and said that she would marry someone who could drive in the future, and she could go wherever she wanted, so the boy secretly went to learn to drive.
A year later, the grandfather, who had always loved the little girl, died of cancer, and the little girl couldn't cry, saying that she must marry a doctor in the future to protect herself and her family from the disease, so the boy went to the medical university.
Finally, the little girl grew up and it was time to get married, and the boy came back confidently. He was going to propose to her, and he was going to tell her that he could make her endless cakes, make endless new clothes, and take him around in a car...... In addition, he also obtained a doctor's license.
"The result ......," He Huanyu said here, deliberately stopping and not talking.
"How did it turn out?" Cheng Xuanji, who was a little fascinated by what she heard, hurriedly asked.
When the boy came back and saw the grown girl, he found that she was married.
"She married a man who couldn't make cakes, couldn't make clothes, couldn't drive, didn't know how to heal, although this man didn't know anything, but he had money, he could buy endless cakes, endless new clothes, a driver to drive him wherever he went, and a family doctor who always kept an eye on his health.
"Even if you don't learn anything, even if you are useless, as long as you have money, it is enough, and those wishes can be fulfilled.
"Of course, the most important thing is that the man still has hair."
He Huanyu finished speaking, but Cheng Xuanji, who listened to the story, stopped doing it, "What kind of story are you, obviously that boy has done so much for girls, obviously he loves her so much, why does that girl marry someone else?" ”
"But why did the boy do so much for that girl, and why did the boy love that girl, and that girl should marry him?" He Huanyu asked.
"But ......" Cheng Xuanji wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth after all.
"So, not all efforts can be reciprocal, just as not all expectations can come true." He Huanyu sighed and continued, "Can you understand?" ”
"But he loves her so much, but he can't love her, won't he be sad?" Cheng Nuxia was a little distressed.
"Maybe, maybe not. The process is often more important than the result, and he may have done a lot for the girl, but he was happy during that time, and that was enough. He Huanyu's voice was a little gloomy, "People can't be too greedy and ask for more things." ”
"But why can't there be a happy ending?" Cheng Xuanji was a little angry, "This ending is not good at all, I don't like it." ”
Girls' feelings are always poems, and they prefer happy endings in fairy tales.
But there is so much fulfillment in life.
"Because there aren't so many perfect things." He Huanyu replied with a wry smile, "Regret always runs through life, and no one can be happy forever, just like there has never been any emotion in this world that can be eternal." ”
"But Xiao He, I will always love you." Cheng Xuanji said word by word, and her tone was firm.
