just passing by you

Chapter 42 The Realm of Love (2)

Such a dream was shattered by his parents.They traveled thousands of miles to find her by car, begging her to let their son go, and not to worry about him anymore.Otherwise, they would really sever ties with this unfilial son.She looked at his mother, who had the same traces of time as her own mother, and finally she nodded and agreed with tears that she would never write to him again, and get married quickly so that he could completely forget himself.

In the midst of his resentment towards her, he obeyed his parents' arrangement, married a woman he didn't like, and had a child. Ten years passed by.And she, also in these ten years, married as a woman, and because of day and night hard work, she was ruthlessly marked down by the years.However, he didn't know that there was always a space for him in her heart.And she didn't know that he wanted to go to her many times, but was blocked by his wife who didn't love him.Later, he and her both divorced, and each other's parents also passed away one after another.But because he was afraid of disturbing the other party's family, he was lonely year after year.

One year when he was on a business trip and passed by her city, he suddenly changed his itinerary, got off the car, and came to the school where they met.The papaya is already ripe, and many children are beating it with long bamboo poles under the tree.He watched with a smile from a distance, and suddenly he had the courage to find her.

But before he walked out of the school gate, he met her walking towards him under a lilac tree.Still just like when he was young, he hugged the book and walked towards him with a slight smile.However, time is so ruthless, and she has completely lost the beautiful face of her youth.However, how can the tough love that has also gone through the years be broken because of this small change?He walked over to stop her as he did when they first met, and said foolishly: Hi, hello.

After she divorced, she moved to the vicinity of this school. After finishing her work every day, she would take a book and come to this school for a walk.She had been looking forward to the day when he walked up to her and said, hi, hello, like he did when he was young.The love has spanned 20 years, but she always firmly believes that this love will still be intact after passing through so many years.Because, she said, she would spend her whole life waiting for him.And he told her like this time and time again.

Now, in such an autumn when the papayas are ripe and fragrant, they finally waited for this promise to mature little by little.

Love's eyes are so bright.

They took the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time that year, and he, who had always had good grades, unexpectedly failed.But he was very happy, so he went to work in a company. Although the salary was not high, in Beijing, excluding the cost of renting a house and eating for the two, the money he saved could only pay for a year for her who was studying at her own expense. tuition fees.She also works part-time and works several jobs, but the money she earns supports her younger brother who is in middle school.Often, when the seasons change, you can only stand in front of the beautiful cabinets and take a look at the proud models.The courage to walk in, when you glimpse the eye-catching price tag, is indifferent.She is also a woman with vanity, who understands the beauty of a flower, if it is not set off by green leaves, that beauty will be weak.But she also knew that a firm and steady love was all he could give her, and to demand more would be embarrassing for him.

So when spring came, all the girls around put on beautiful sweaters and wool skirts. When they were competing for beauty in the still chilly wind, she could only open the closet and take a look at a few faded sweaters and a few that were washed white. Cowboys who were stuck, and then closed in disappointment.Such sentimentality, she never told him.In order to be able to support her annual tuition fees, he has already tried his best to work overtime. If there are other demands on him, her heart will be ahead of him, and there will be pain from the blade slowly cutting.When he came home late, silently cooking a bowl of porridge and rice for him was the most tender expression of her gratitude to him.And he also knows that her hard work is no less than his own. He has to study hard and take on one tutor after another in his spare time.When other girls are shopping and traveling, she is running on the subway and bus.The same most beautiful years, but he couldn't let her enjoy the blooming beauty and enchantment like other women.All he can do is to work overtime one more time, earn a little more money, buy her favorite small jewelry, or let her take one less part-time job as a tutor.

His hard work was soon appreciated by his superiors.Therefore, when the opportunity came to study in Australia for ten days, the boss resolutely wrote down his name despite the opposition of many people.When he got the news, he invited her to eat the long-awaited hairy crab.The two sat in the shop with bright and clean windows, watching the traffic passing by outside without a sound, thinking that maybe it won't be long before he gets promoted and she graduates, and the two of them can slowly save money in Beijing. money, buy a small house; then, change to a big one, and then, like everyone else, have a child and a car.Such an affluent life, because of the warm spring sun outside the window, is painted with an extra attractive color, it seems that it is like those colorful clothes hanging in the window, as long as she likes, she can walk in at any time, Pick them off and happily carry them home.

But before their joy faded away, he learned from his boss that in order to go through some relevant procedures, everyone who had the opportunity to go to Australia had to pay a fee of 2 yuan.None of the people who went with me raised any objections. Many people said that there is no more cost-effective travel than this for 2 yuan for a 10-day trip to Australia.It's just a plane ticket.Moreover, such an opportunity may not be obtained by others spending money.So when the organizers came to collect the fee, they paid it almost without hesitation.Many people even spent more than 1 yuan to let their wives or children go with them.

Of course he couldn't take her there, he even hesitated for a long time whether to spend 2000 yuan to buy this trip.In the end, it was she who smiled and said, go, remember to bring me back a small gift that can only be found locally, and then he hugged her and said, wait, I will bring you back the warmth of the whole of Australia.

During the ten days he went to Australia, she worked an extra job and bought a beautiful wardrobe with the money she earned.She wants to take out all his clothes, wash or iron them, and then hang them neatly in the closet.She couldn't let him, who was already working, wake up in the morning wearing clothes that were creased because there was nowhere to hang them.She is still on campus, it doesn't matter a few wrinkles, and he is at the critical moment of salary increase and promotion, he walks up, and she, who follows behind, needs to be his other pair of eyes, helping him to watch all the tiny things flaw.

Ten days later, he returned and brought her a videotape of traveling in Australia, a beautiful pure wool cardigan and fur skirt, and a pair of perfectly matching boots.She complained that he shouldn't have spent so much money for her, but he himself was not willing to buy anything.He scratched her nose with a smile and said, being able to go out for a walk is already the most expensive gift I gave myself.

The two embraced and watched the videotape he took, the endless grassland, the tourists running in the warm sunshine, the blue sky washed by water, and the herds of cattle and sheep grazing leisurely.Everything was photographed so beautifully and vividly, he didn't forget to let her know about a tiny ant on the windowsill where he slept.Looking at it once, it seems like following him and swimming around Australia.

However, when the video was put to the end, he was at the airport in Beijing with his luggage on his back, and said to the camera, "Hi, baby, I'm back!"Her tears still fell.He coaxed her and said, baby, don't cry, I will start saving money from now on, and I believe that after a year, I can let you go to Australia too.However, the more he coaxed her, the more turbulent her tears came.Until the end, he hugged her tightly and said, baby, it's my fault, I shouldn't be so selfish and go to Australia alone.Finally, after his words, she slowly walked to the newly bought wardrobe, took out a letter from the pocket of one of his old school clothes, and shared the letter with him. Bring the CDs from Australia and put them together.

She didn't say anything, but he read her deep pity and love from her eyes.He gave up the opportunity for her to go to graduate school at public expense, but let her go to a self-financed master's degree; he gave up the opportunity to travel to Australia, but used the saved 2 yuan to buy her the clothes she had always wanted He found someone to film the Australian CD for her, and then dubbed it himself. In order not to let her see the flaws, he went to the airport to make up the last and only scene where he appeared.All the lies he told for her were just because he hoped that he could bring her the happiness that other women can easily get, little by little.

He thought that he had disguised himself very well, but he didn't know that love has a pair of eyes that see everything. It is so keen that it can see all the secrets.
