Chapter 19: Confiding in your heart
The morning breeze is blowing, and the morning sun is slightly cool.
The rows of courtyards in the regimental field were still shrouded in the green and yellow morning mist, and the smoke from the cooking stove slowly dissipated in this empty and cold. It was a family with children, and they got up early to prepare a meal for the day.
He Yi'an rode as usual and took Cheng Jiangshui on the way to school. The two did not go straight to the school, but turned to a small river.
It is said to be a small river, but in fact, it is an irrigation canal that was built in the past. Cheng Jiangshui didn't ask any questions about He Yi'an, who was silent along the way, and she seemed to be able to feel the extreme pain and entanglement in He Yi'an's heart at this moment.
When the two of them were sitting by the river, facing He Yi'an's continued silence, Cheng Jiangshui turned his head and asked faintly: "Brother Yi'an, what's wrong with you?" Is it because Aunt Wanling is going back? β
"Nope!" He Yi'an fiddled with the grass under his feet, and said dejectedly: "Jiang Shui, I'...... Maybe I'm going back to Longyou to go to school! β
Cheng Jiangshui lowered his head gloomily and said softly, "Oh, is it? β
He Yi'an was stunned and said, "You, aren't you surprised?" β
Cheng Jiangshui seemed to be calm and calm, but the slightest resentment was really shown on her face, she pursed her red lips, and said abruptly: "Actually, Aunt Wanling came back this time, I can guess some......"
He Yi'an asked sadly, "You won't blame me, will you?" β
Cheng Jiangshui looked back and smiled sadly: "Brother Yi'an, this is a good thing, how can I blame you!" β
He Yi'an looked at her pure and elegant face, listening to her words of "light and light", but his heart was as painful as a needle prick: "But I, but I am reluctant to leave my godfather and godmother...... You! β
Maybe it's because he is about to say goodbye and doesn't know when he will see each other again, this is the first time He Yi'an boldly confided in his heart.
When these words blurted out, He Yi'an himself was also trembling and his face was hot.
Although most of the time the two are related, no one has ever confessed so bluntly. For a while, Cheng Jiangshui's cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, and he was ashamed, and he quickly buried his head deep in his chest, and it took a long time to make an inaudible sound.
"Yes, I know!"
"You, you know everything, huh?" He Yi'an's eyes widened.
I don't know how long it took, Cheng Jiangshui tried his best to suppress his shyness, Qiu Shui's bright eyes looked at the gurgling water in the distance, but his face showed a mature aura that did not match his age at all: "Brother Yi'an, we have been together since childhood, you are good to me, I understand...... I don't know what it will be like in the future, but every time I see my parents working so hard to support this family, I don't dare to eat or use, and I always cling to us children first......"
"You know, every time I see my parents hiding in the kitchen and secretly gnawing on the meat and bones we discarded, I feel bad...... As my mother said, I am the eldest daughter in the family, and the eldest daughter should be like the eldest daughter. β
He Yi'an was silent for a while, and nodded sadly: "I also heard my godfather say that my godmother is also the eldest daughter at home, and it has always been my godmother who has been helping her younger brothers and sisters in her hometown." β
Cheng Jiangshui turned his head, and his eyes flashed with tenacity: "So, I also want to be like my mother, I can grow up quickly, and I can use my own strength to help them share some of the burden, I don't want them to be so tired, and the rest...... I don't dare to think about it yet. β
After speaking, Cheng Jiangshui's eyes flashed a little.
He Yi'an looked at Cheng Jiangshui with a torch, and his words revealed a tough persistence: "I understand, I think so too." Jiang Shui, don't worry, when I have strength in the future, I will definitely come back, take care of my godfather and godmother and younger brothers with you, let's support our family together, okay? β
At that moment, Cheng Jiangshui smiled.
The smile is sweet, sour, and bitter...... It hurts too!
"Well, I'll listen to you!"
There is no need to swear that love is stronger than gold, and there is no need to swear that the sea is dry and rotten.
Even if love is young, love is sincere, and the heart and soul are one.
This is enough for teenagers and girls who trek through suffering, snuggle in the cold, ripen early by poverty, and are fueled by hardships, ordinary but not mediocre, young but not naΓ―ve......
On the other side, Du Wanling was about to rush back to Longyou to take office. The children in the family were already busy going to school, and Cheng Jia'an and his wife took Cheng Jianghai, the only one stranded at home, to see them off.
After a night, seeing the husband and wife again, Du Wanling suddenly felt a burst of guilt and shame: "Brother Jia'an, sister-in-law Xiulan, don't send it." β
Cheng Jiaan, who didn't know the inside story, said calmly: "Yes, if the children don't want to go to school, they should come to see you off." β
Li Xiulan stepped forward and took Du Wanling's hand, and reluctantly smacked her lips: "I really want to leave in such a hurry!" β
Du Wanling nodded and said abruptly: "Yes, the unit is still waiting to report." Brother Jia'an, sister-in-law Xiulan, I have talked to Yi'an, and he is willing to go back to Longyou with me. β
"Oh!" After one night, He Yi'an was able to readily agree, and it was not as entangled as he imagined, which made Li Xiulan feel a little disappointed, but this is also the best ending at the moment: "He agreed, that's good, that's good!" β
Looking at Li Xiulan's slightly depressed expression, Du Wanling felt something, and hurriedly explained two sentences euphemistically for He Yi'an: "In the end, he is still reluctant to let you go, and it was only after I said that he agreed." After I went back, I hurried to handle the transfer of schools, and it was estimated that it would take less than a week to do it. β
"This, is this a bit of a hurry?" Cheng Jia'an was a little stunned, and didn't understand why Du Wanling was so anxious. But if you think about it, after all, the mother and son have not been able to get together for more than ten years, and the family affection is difficult to give up, and this urgency is also understandable.
Du Wanling nodded and said, "Maybe I'm in a hurry, but you should be able to understand my feelings!" β
Li Xiulan patted the back of Du Wanling's hand and said tolerantly: "Yes, yes, we all know that mothers have the same heart." Don't worry, we'll talk to Yi'an too. β
Du Wanling pursed her lips and looked at Li Xiulan, who was close at hand, with a tangled look of wanting to speak and stopping. She wanted to shake things out in one go, but looking at the two upright and kind couples in front of her, she hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but not speak.
"That, Brother Jia'an and sister-in-law Xiulan, I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't see many friends in the group, and I thought about many things that haven't landed yet, and I don't know what to say when I see everyone. Please go back and say hello to Yulan and them, let them not mind, and I'll find a time to visit them when I go back! β
"Hey!" Cheng Jia'an waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "They, they are not so careful, don't be careful." β
Du Wanling nodded abruptly: "Then, then I'll go!" β
"Walk slowly, come often when you have time!" The husband and wife waved goodbye.
It wasn't until Du Wanling's figure was far away that Cheng Jia'an frowned and muttered, "Wanling, what is on her mind?" β
Li Xiulan also looked puzzled: "I feel it too, it seems to be quite sad, more worried than me!" Do you think you will have a conflict with this stinky boy of Yi'an? Or if you go back and ask Yi'an, and do his work by the way, this kid is really uncomfortable. β
"Hey!"
Immediately after his wife's thick sigh came, Cheng Jia'an was stunned and said, "What are you sighing for!" β
Li Xiulan twisted her face and said worriedly: "Now Wanling is already a big leader, let alone He Weiguo, the gap between our two families is getting bigger and bigger, what do you say about it in the future." β
Cheng Jia'an suddenly froze and was stunned for a while.
He Weiguo's affairs were held in his stomach, and he didn't dare to reveal too much, but his wife already had a premonition, could it be that the future would really be as worried as she was?
Thinking of He Weiguo, Cheng Jia'an had a headache that couldn't be stopped, so he could only nod gloomily and said, "Yes, but Wanling is nothing, she won't care about this." I'm also worried about the great country, his ...... Hey, I really can't say it! β
Li Xiulan laughed at herself, these things are other people's business in the final analysis, is she a little unfounded and mediocre to disturb herself?
Forget it, who is not an immortal, how can you know what will happen in the future.
Just now, he was still "gloomy clouds and bleak thousands of miles of condensation", and this will begin to "cloud opening and rain harvest without worries", and Li Xiulan's arrogant optimism began to emerge again.
Seeing that her husband was still entangled, Li Xiulan waved her hand magnificently and said, "Whatever, let's not take other people's wealth and wealth to scold ourselves, and we don't covet others with our ordinary eyes." I only care about living an ordinary life for our people, just be safe and sound, free of illness and disaster, right? Jiang Hai! β
"Uh-huh!" Cheng Jianghai hurriedly responded to his mother's question, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice.
Looking at her son's well-behaved stupid appearance, Li Xiulan smiled and scolded angrily: "You know, what do you understand?" β
Cheng Jia'an watched his wife's sad rain turn into a sun-like smile, as if he had been infected.
yes, whatever!
People have their own way of living, and they have their own days. People who have nothing to do will be stupid and compare, don't you know that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away? In the end, is it interesting to compare the good self to the "tuotuo" in the dung pit?
Cheng Jia'an bared his teeth happily at his wife, picked up his thumb and said, "This seems to be said by my mother-in-law!" Ordinary is blessed, let's just be ordinary for a lifetime, enjoy happiness for a lifetime...... Let's go, go back to work! β
Du Wanling left, and she firmly believed that her decision was completely correct.
But she seems to have forgotten that He Yi'an and Cheng Jiangshui are not ordinary men and women, you are strong and I am strong, and they are not simple childhood sweethearts. The affection that is rooted in the depths of the hearts of the two people has been forged and tempered through the poorest, most destitute, and most difficult times.
For them, time is not an evaporator, distance may be the catalyst......
Who can say for sure......
