Chapter 119

stalemate.

It was going on secretly between them.

She didn't want to, she had no obligation to eat the last supper with him again.

His expression was calm, but his palms were very hard. During the stalemate, his calm voice sounded, "Take me to the subway..."

Turning back time, she still can't go back to the past...

Tears rolled down in the evening wind that carried him behind his back, and the stalemate hands gradually relaxed.

After drying up her tears, she was led into the subway station by him, like a puppet controlled by him.

"From where?"

"Where do you buy tickets?"

"How to buy a ticket?"

"How to get in?"

"Where are you waiting for the subway?"

He always asked her in a gentle tone, but she never paid any attention, with a calm expression, as if she didn't hear.

He was patient, not impatient, and kept asking, even if she didn't answer.Fortunately, there was an aunt following, and the questions Xia Wanlu refused to answer, the aunt answered for her.

In the subway, it happened to be the rush hour of getting off work, and it was full of people. The nanny auntie didn't understand his behavior of squeezing the subway instead of driving a good luxury car. She just helped him dutifully. He, a person with limited legs and feet, still wrapped his arms around her, like a pair of ordinary white-collar workers who just got off work.

She ignored all of this.

Indifference is the highest state, she and him are destined to be passers-by...

He took her to Quanjude to eat roast duck.

Five years ago, the whole family of the Zuo family came here for dinner, she sat beside him, cleaned her hands like a little maid, put on gloves, and dipped the dough in sauce for him, but today, he dipped her in the sauce and rolled the dough, only a short distance away. Feed her to eat, speak softly, even the chef next to the slice of roast duck is secretly happy watching.

She was silent, unsmiling, and didn't make a fuss. She would eat whatever he gave her. Everything seemed to be perfunctory, as if she just hoped that this would end quickly so that she could go back with peace of mind.

It's just that others couldn't see through the clues of this, they only said that the husband cherished his wife to the extreme, such a woman is truly happy.Even the auntie thought that they stopped fighting, and said with a smile, "How wonderful! The husband loves the wife so much! The young couple quarrels at the end of the bed, let's live a good life!"

She chewed the roast duck carefully, and gradually realized that happiness is something that other people watch, but she knows the taste...

Under the surface of the happiness envied by others, it is her sorrow that is greater than death...

After eating the roast duck, he didn't go back immediately, but took the subway to the compound again.

She was slightly startled, what are you doing here?However, she didn't want to ask, she had a clear belief in her heart, and she was going home the day after tomorrow, so it was up to him to go wherever he wanted today, even if she went to see Xiao Chan, she was not afraid, because she had no desires, no desires, so no matter what. fear!

"Do you remember? That year was the season when pagoda flowers were flying, and there were so many pagoda flowers around here. Every time you pushed me for a walk back, there was a layer of white flying catkins floating on your hair. I think No, it was you who took my hand to touch those Xuer, you said, this is called growing old together..."

"Remember this? Let me count, one, two, three, four... nine! That's right, from the intersection to the ninth tree, you took my hand and carved 1399 and 1499 on the tree. A number, was arrested by the grandmother of the neighborhood committee and fined? Look, these words are still there!"

……

Along the way, he pointed and said that those first love stories seemed to have been reviewed thousands of times in his heart, and he narrated them like countless treasures.

However, she just stared straight ahead without squinting, with no expression on her face, her eyes were dull, there was no spark in her eyes, and she would not give a single glance to the scenery he was pointing at.

He was tireless, holding her hand, still remembering, still remembering...

Before he knew it, he came to the old grandma's baked sweet potato stand, and he asked his aunt to stop and shouted, "Grandma! Give me a baked sweet potato!"

The old grandma closed her eyes, and her mouth twisted, "Hey! This is Bao'er! I haven't seen Bao'er for a long time! Ouch! Isn't this little dewdrop? You are finally together! I am worried about this matter Well, Bao’er, let me tell you, since Little Luzhu came to me last time, I’ve been thinking about it every day. Why doesn’t Bao’er come to see me? I have good news to tell him, I have to tell him Little Luzhu is back! It’s all right now! You don’t need to tell my wife, you can be together! This is fate, and fate is a wonderful thing! I said, Bao’er, what’s wrong with your legs?”

"It's okay, I accidentally fell, grandma, thank you!" He laughed.

The old lady glared at him, "Young man, you have to take care of yourself. It's very tiring to take care of others. I couldn't get used to seeing her eyes before, but I was exhausted by Xiao Luzhu. Now my eyes are finally healed. Don't bother me again, girl." !"

For those who love you, take good care of yourself...

He smiled slightly and pinched her fingers, "Did you hear that? Take care of yourself..."

Her eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears.

Along the way, no matter how flattering he was, how humble he was, he couldn't make her cry, but because of his words, his tear glands were easily moved...

take care of yourself...

Is this his farewell message to her?The one who took her for such a long walk tonight just told her to take care of herself?
She lowered her eyes, hiding her tears, take care of each other, no matter whether you have loved or hated...

"Hey, why doesn't Little Luzhu talk a lot today?" The old lady felt very strange.

The topic came to her, how could she be cruel to the old grandma?Her upbringing wouldn't allow her to do that!
With a forced smile, "Grandma, I'm just a little uncomfortable... Tired..."

"It turned out to be like this! Then Bao'er, hurry up and take her back to rest! Look at Little Luzhu, she looks really bad!" Grandma wrapped a few big sweet potatoes for them and stuffed them into his arms.

"Thank you grandma, I will come to see you next time!" Chen An said and looked up at her with a smile.

"Next time... I'm afraid there won't be a next time..." The old woman sighed with a smile, her expression somewhat desolate and lonely.

"What's wrong?" Chen An asked.Xia Wanlu's heart also shrank. In fact, in the past few years in BJ, there were still some people and things that could touch her heart. No matter what, Zuo Chenan took her to see grandma before she left. This is the right thing to do...

Grandma's eyes were lightly wet, "Hey, this man is old and his body is not as good as before. He was sick a while ago, and his son and wife will not let me out no matter what, they are afraid that I will be tired, and even more afraid that I will be tired." One day it just disappeared outside..."

"Grandma, I won't..." In fact, he is a very affectionate and sexual person. If he likes someone, he will like it to the extreme, even for an old grandma who has no relatives and no reason, because grandma is their youth. Important memories in the bitter love...

"Silly Baoer!" Grandma wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Didn't you say it was just in case? Besides, people will grow old, and this day will happen! It's okay, you guys remembered that my old lady came to see me today, Me, it’s worth it, my son and daughter-in-law are filial, and the two of them have a good relationship, the only thing I’m still attached to is you two! Now, I can finally rest assured!"

As she said that, the old lady took a ring from her ring finger. It was an old silver jewelry. One could tell it was old at a glance, and the pattern and style were also very old.

"This is really worthless, but it is the first piece of jewelry my wife bought for me when I was young. I have worn it all my life and never took it off. Although my wife passed away earlier than me, we have loved each other for a lifetime. I have blushed and quarreled, but no one has left the other. It is also fate. I like you two very much. Let me give this to Xiao Luzhu. Live a good life, don't be separated again... When I was young, I always felt that my life was very long, but now, I feel that this life is... really short... If I can, I really hope to be younger again, marry him again, and live again Forever... do you understand?"

The old lady handed the ring to Xia Wanlu. "We don't have a lot of money, but we support each other all our lives. We add a bowl today and a pair of chopsticks tomorrow. We build up our home little by little. We watch our children grow up day by day. When my wife left, he said, "I didn't give you money." I live a rich life, I'm sorry, but I said, it's enough to be worthy of the words on the ring... I don't regret it..."

Life is so short.If possible, I really hope to be younger again, marry him again, and live another lifetime...

Thinking back on these words, Xia Wan burst into tears, but she refused to accept the ring, "Grandma, you should leave it to your son and daughter-in-law!"

The old grandma smiled, "I left gold for them, now, who wants these silver ornaments? It's worthless! It's just that in my eyes, this little thing is more valuable than gold and diamonds. I also think you two are not Ordinary people don't think it's cheap or old-fashioned, so I'll give it to you. If you don't like it, I won't force it..."

"No! Grandma, we like it! I really like it! It is much more precious than diamonds!" Zuo Chenan took it with one hand, "Grandma, thank you, this is the best gift we have ever received!"

"That's good! It's getting late, I should go back too! You guys go too! Look, my son has already picked me up!" The old woman pointed at the middle-aged man who came not far away.

Zuo Chen'an agreed, but didn't leave, waiting for the middle-aged man to arrive, and greeted each other.

"It turned out to be you! My mother is always thinking about it. She has to see you once before she is willing to accept this stall. I also said that she is too serious. Who will remember the customers who meet by chance? She just doesn't listen and insists on telling me You will definitely come!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

The old lady was very proud, and said to her son, "Look, I'm right!"

Zuo Chen'an nodded, earnestly like never before, "Yes! You are right! We will definitely remember you!"

The old lady happily closed the stall, and the middle-aged man patted Zuo Chenan on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, for fulfilling my mother's last wish!"

Zuo Chenan twirled the ring in his hand, the pattern on the ring was very simple, engraved with four words: Forever and ever.Feeling sore in his heart, why did he fulfill the old grandma's last wish?The old lady's wish is for them to last forever... The ordinary and wise old man must have seen that there is a problem between them... If it were normal, no one would have such concern for a person who is not related to him. What's unusual about Wanlu is that their love is different, and that he is blind...

He couldn't help being sad, and nodded to the middle-aged man, "If the grandma...you must notify me that day!" He solemnly wrote his private number, which is the one of 1399, to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man seemed very grateful, and patted him on the shoulder again, "Yes! Thank you!"

"Huzi, let's go! It's time for Bao'er and Xiao Luzhu to go home too! It's getting dark!" The grandmother happily called her son by his nickname.

"Here we come!" The middle-aged man helped the old woman push the cart away, and smiled at them both when he turned around.

Xia Wanlu couldn't bear it any longer, she covered her mouth on one side, and the crying still leaked from her fingers.

He stretched out his finger to wipe her tears, but she avoided it, wiped her tears herself, and scolded him, "Why? Well, why did you say grandma..." She couldn't bear to say the word "death", just cry.

He stared at her blankly, and said quietly, "You can't even bear to meet the old lady you met by chance, why are you alone willing to leave me?"

She seemed to be choked by someone in an instant, and she couldn't cry anymore, only tears streaming down.

"Do you want to go back to Hangzhou?" He clasped the silver ring given by his grandmother so hard that his palms ached.

She couldn't speak, gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying, stiffened her neck, and nodded slightly.Go back, must go back!

"Okay! Let's go!" He quickly turned the wheelchair around, and under the dark sky, tears glistened in his eyes...
