Hu Xiangyi and Guiyi officially divorced at the end of 1952, and it was not easy to divorce. Because she already had a boy at that time, the noble mother cried and refused to allow her to take the child, but how could a mother leave her young child.

So the stalemate lasted for more than a year. The leader of the army gave instructions, and your mother also died of illness, and the old man remembered his absurdity when he was young, so he nodded, touched his beard and said: "It's a new era, I can't control the two of you, if you want to divorce, just leave." But you are also free to get married, why can't you live and die in just a few years? ”

Yes, Xiangyi also wants to ask this question, why can't he get by? For every woman, the meaning of marriage is different, and although she married Guiyi for some political purposes, she may not have made no efforts during the marriage. She took care of her family, liaised with the squire, and even bore him children.

Of course, Guiyi is not bad to her, using his years of party seniority to give her and her family a lot of protection, otherwise how can the orphans and widows who occupy so much land still have a big mansion and subsistence fields in New China?

However, he was reluctant to communicate with his wife except for the necessary care, as if the too deep past had closed his heart, and he rarely even spoke to Xiangyi except for the moment when his son was born. This made it difficult for Hu Xiangyi, who used to admire her husband very much but was lively by nature, to accept it.

In the words of decades later, this is called cold violence, although Guiyi did not mean it.

If it was an ordinary old-fashioned woman, she might have endured it, but Xiangyi was not that kind of person after all, and took the initiative to say: "It's too boring for us to be like this, let's divorce." ”

Guiyi was shocked at the time, and even a little angry. It's not that she said anything else, because when she said this, the couple was in front of Fang Mengying's tombstone in the North China Martyrs Cemetery.

She was her best friend, his blood relative, and the presence that they all regretted in their hearts. Guiyi always felt that he should no longer let this cousin, who had suffered a lot in his life, not be at peace after his death.

There's something to go back to.

But Xiangyi didn't care, "Although Meng Ying is your cousin, I know her far better than you." In that case, she wouldn't care. Rather than everyone being unhappy, it's better to be separated. Don't forget, she was the one who fought the divorce lawsuit for Xin Yi back then, and her name moved in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou! How could such a woman care about this? ”

Guiyi was wearing the military uniform he had longed for for twenty years, but his hair was already gray, looking at the endless plain, countless martyrs' clothes and graves.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally said, "Okay, I promise." After a pause, he smiled a little sarcastically: "I really didn't expect that I would become a relative of Miss Zhang." ”

He knew that Zhang Xinyi's deceased brother was once a young master who was engaged to Xiangyi, but he died in the war of the Japanese invaders. But speaking of the more than ten years of war, there are too many ironic things.

On the eve of the liberation of Beiping, Fang Mengao led a group of pilots to defect to the liberated area of North China and became the first generation of the air force of New China. Zhang Xinyi's main job was to cooperate with the hidden comrades and transfer the rest of the Fang family.

But unsurprisingly, Fang Buting and Fang Mengwei were reluctant to go to the liberated areas, and finally Fang Buting and his wife went to the United States, Xie Peidong stayed behind to continue to serve the party's financial work, and Meng Wei took care of Cui Zhongshi's family and went to Hong Kong.

No one knows how they developed, anyway, the news came that Zhang Xinyi was already planning to marry Fang Mengwei.

The Fang family has experienced too much, and they have no opinion on this, as long as the person concerned feels happy. It's just that the location of the marriage has not been decided, Meng Ao and Xie Peidong, who have already gone to the Korean battlefield, hope that he can return to his homeland to get married, while Fang Buting hopes to witness the marriage of his youngest son in the United States.

It wasn't until Xiangyi successfully returned to Hunan with her son that she received Zhang Xinyi's letter and wedding photos, she looked no haggard, only with the satisfaction and joy of a little woman.

Xiangyi is sincerely happy for this fateful best friend.

The suffering is over, and a new life will eventually come.

She may or may not know that her new husband once loved a wayward schoolgirl deeply, and that was his cousin. Because of her recklessness and the cunning of the enemy, she stayed in the execution ground in Peking forever.

Even if Meng Ao later killed Liang Jinglun and Xu Tieying with his own hands, this became an irreparable pain in the hearts of everyone in the Fang family, just like the pain of losing Fang Mengying.

But she believes that after going through so much hardship, she will make the right choice for her tomorrow.

Of course, she thinks she is not bad, if she likes Fang Mengao, she will say it generously, and if people don't agree, forget it; The fake drama is really done and Guiyi are husband and wife, but they work hard but can't get by, so there is nothing to regret. Now in the new society, women can hold up half the sky, why can't she eat on her own!

In the same way, she also used to persuade Zhu Qing.

That's right, when she returned to Xiangtan this time, she also brought Zhu Qing with her. These two people, who originally had no intersection, met because of Fang Mengying, a mutual friend, and deepened their friendship because of the difficult years before liberation.

Now Zhu Qing has nowhere to go, and she is obligated to bring her back. Xiangyi said: "In the future, where there is me, there will be your home." ”

The friendship between girls can also be very pure and sincere, and it is not lost to the ancient Liu Guanzhang.

Another reason is that Zhu Qing is reluctant to Xiangyi's son, the child named Hu Nianying. On the eve of 1949, she went to the river to find her husband's skeleton and stubbornly wanted to bring him back – even if it was a piece of airplane wreckage.

Zhu Qing missed the ticket given by the Kuomintang to the family members of the Air Force in this way, so naturally she failed to go to the other side of the strait, and Guo Ningyuan, the son of her and Guo Zhen, has been entrusted to Qin Qianyi to take care of, so naturally he was taken away by the couple.

Zhu Qing, who got the news, could barely survive. Within a few years, she was a weak woman who lost her father, lost her husband, and now even her son had left her, and her fragile spirit could no longer withstand the blow and almost collapsed.

But the magic of fate is to force you to drink the most bitter poison and then gracefully give you a packet of sugar.

Xiangyi desperately stopped her from going crazy when she had a fetal gas. This child happened to come to this world when the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River, everyone in Nanjing City was in danger, and there were not even a few soldiers in Guiyi's official residence, where to find a midwife and a doctor?

In desperation, Zhu Qing, who had experienced childbirth, had no choice but to put the idea of seeking death aside, and with the help of his own experience in giving birth to a child, he took care of the work in the delivery room, and finally gave birth to a healthy boy for Xiangyi after a busy day.
