Chapter 35: A Glass of Turbid Wine
The opening words of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "Linjiang Immortal" wrote: "A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. Although the glass of wine she drank also dripped into the tears of the apricot blossom for half a lifetime, the wine was still clear, taking the meaning of "Linjiang Immortal", and this chapter was named "a cup of turbid wine".
As written, when Lin Liu was three years old, after Xinghua remarried, she happened to meet her childhood sweetheart Dawei, a primary school classmate, and complained to each other, and since then she has been separated for 20 years, whenever she is angry with the stone, she thinks of Dawei, and whenever she thinks of Dawei, she is angry with the stone, and Dawei's shadow naturally affects her relationship with the stone.
Hearing that Dawei returned to his hometown to move the grave of his parents, Xinghua was excited and nervous, and she could finally meet Dawei. After Dawei finished taking care of the relocation of the grave, Xinghua went directly to Dawei, and the two made a private appointment to go to a restaurant in the county seat for dinner.
In the single room of the restaurant, the two sat looking at each other, feeling familiar and strange to each other. Dawei back then, handsome and free, with deep eyes that could capture the soul of apricot blossoms; The apricot blossoms of the year, the red lips are powdered, and the phoenix eyes are affectionate, and a glance can make Dawei drunk for three days. Dawei in front of him, his hair is sparse and gray, his teeth are loose, wrinkles crawl all over his forehead, and his long-term labor has caused him to decline before he gets old. Xinghua suddenly felt that in the past 20 years, she had let her dream be deceived, it was too miserable. The apricot blossoms in front of him, old-fashioned, full of vicissitudes of life, cloudy eyes, Dawei can no longer find the feeling of the year. Talking to each other in the usual homely language, expressing a simple classmate feeling. Thoughts and love, they never mentioned them again.
Pouring full of wine, when Lin Liu held the wine glass in front of her, two cloudy tears dripped into the wine glass......
After the meal, the two said goodbye and cherished each other. When Xinghua came home, she saw the stone and spoke much softer, which surprised the stone and thought that Xinghua had taken the wrong medicine.
Xinghua lay on the bed resting, thinking about how stupid she had been for so many years, and couldn't help but smile quietly and impermanently. She naturally thought of Lin Liu, and thought that she must not let Lin Liu go her old way again, and she must not let Lin Liu drink the last turbid wine before she suddenly woke up.
Lin Liu walked in, brought a glass of water, and said, "Mother, let's have a drink, have you drunk too much?" The mother took the glass of water and drank it all. Lin Liu didn't ask who her mother drank with her, Lin Liu was a smart girl, she knew that her mother had Dawei in her heart, in fact, she already knew that her mother had dinner with Dawei, and the girl named Lan saw Lin Liu's mother walk into the restaurant with Dawei, and told Lin Liu when she went home. Lin Liu doesn't blame her mother, although she hated her mother, she knew that her mother was very bitter in her heart.
Lin Liu made up a fable by himself, told it to his mother, and comforted her. To put it simply, the story goes like this: when the leaves are young, they like the wind and worship the wind, and the wind makes the leaves flutter and dashing; When the leaves are old, they let the wind blow down and end their lives. Is the wind merciless, or the leaves stupid?
After hearing this story, my mother realized a little, but suddenly thought in surprise: "Lin Liu knows everything?" She pretended to be confused and didn't ask Lin Liu anything, and the matter passed like this. And the stone is still in the dark, and the world is still confused.
