famous first flash marriage

894. Did He Beat You, or Did He Owe You Money?

"Thank you." Tang Xiao said with a polite smile.

The white-haired uncle was originally sitting here playing chess alone, but when he saw Tang Xiao and Ji Xiaoru coming, he stopped playing chess and only talked to them with a smile.

Tang Xiao thought to himself, he must have been lonely for a long time. Anyone who can come to this nursing home will not be short of money. Many people were cadres when they were young, but in this world, having money and background does not mean that they will not be lonely.

Even in many cases, the more people seem to have unlimited scenery, the more lonely they are behind their backs.

"In the past... someone played chess with me," the white-haired uncle held a ceramic cup in his hand, and looked into the distance with piercing eyes, as if someone's face was floating in the distant sky, "It's just that person I left first, I was having a hard time every day, I just waited to see him sooner in the future... When I saw him, I had to ask him, why didn't he wait for me, why did he leave so early..."

As he spoke, there seemed to be a layer of water in those eyes.

Tang Xiao and Ji Xiaoru were very silent in tacit understanding. They understood that sometimes, what people need is not to explain, but to listen.

When people are able to pour out all their thoughts and thoughts, some pent-up emotions can be released, and some questions that have been unable to find the answer may find the answer in talking.

However, in this busy world where everyone is busy, it is not so easy to find one or two people to sit down and listen to your thoughts.

What's more, if it's not at the right time, even if you meet the right person, you may not be able to say those words.

The winter wind blows softly and slowly, the air is quiet and comfortable, and the nose smells the aroma of honeysuckle flowers.

He stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He was very thankful—the two little girls didn't ask or say anything.

Once the confession is interrupted, he is likely to be ashamed to reveal it, and take his secret to the grave.

So many years have passed in a flash.

He is old too, and he is gone.

If you don't say it, no one will ever know.

Originally they made up their minds to bury everything in their hearts, but, he thought, maybe someone should know their story.

He retracted his gaze from a distance, staring at the ceramic cup in his hand——

This is also what he left behind.

The ceramic mugs are very old and worn.

It was given to him when he was young, and it returned to him after he passed away.

Sometimes, when he drank tea from this cup, he would feel his taste from between his lips and teeth. Although it was very weak, the clear taste clearly belonged to him.

Will the two little girls be able to accept their feelings?

Do they find them disgusting, as most people do?
He suddenly hesitated.

So he raised his head and glanced at them.

I saw two young and beautiful girls sitting there quietly, one smiling peacefully and the other lively.

However, from their eyes, he saw their purity and beauty——

These are two innocent children.

His heart was touched, and he couldn't help but smile back at them.

Then he turned his head sideways, looked at the burning maple trees in the distance, and said in a soft voice: "I have known him since we were very young. We grew up in the same compound. When we were young, he was more skinny, and I was more skinny." To be honest, since I was a child, I was the one who followed him..."

Ji Xiaoru felt a little strange when he heard this, opened his mouth to say something, but held back.

Tang Xiao turned his head and shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to speak.

Ji Xiaoru nodded.

Ji Xiaoru has always been carefree, and her thoughts are not as delicate as Tang Xiao's. She still hasn't understood what the old man said "he" is a man, but Tang Xiao understands.

To be precise, she thought of it from the first time the old man mentioned the person who played chess with him.

The nursing home is very large, and it is winter afternoon, no one passes by nearby, everything is quiet, there is a quiet maple forest in the distance, and there are continuous green hills in the distance.

Occasionally, a bird flew by in the sky, but it disappeared quickly, turning into a small black spot on the horizon, until there was no trace at all, as if it had never been here before.

Just like human memory, if you don't remember everything you want to remember, it is likely to disappear like a bird passing through the sky, as if it never existed.

"...I can't tell who liked whom first. In fact, at first, I really didn't know what liking was—" He paused, then smiled, as if a little helpless and a little happy.

"Anyway, if you like it, you just like it. When you don't see each other, you think about it very much. When you meet, you feel that talking is not enough, and it's not enough to just look at the other person and smile... So what should I do? With the right girl Children like that, holding hands, kissing? Hey... At that time, I had never been exposed to such things. I felt that I was sick, seriously ill, and forced myself not to think about it, but I couldn’t see it during the day, and it was always the same at night. Dreaming. I often dream at home, suddenly yelling his name and sitting up from the bed, the family members ask, what’s the matter? Did he beat you, or does he owe you money?...Neither, but I dare not It can only be said that I hate him and annoy him."

He smiled again, and put his lips to the warm ceramic cup in his hand, as pious as a kiss, he kissed the rim of the cup that his lips had touched countless times, imagining that he was basking in the sun on a chair Holding a cup to drink tea, I feel extremely happy in my heart. This moment seems to be very close to him, very close.

Tang Xiao and Ji Xiaoru, who were sitting opposite the old man, were already fascinated, and couldn't help but sweat for the two people in the story.

Then, what happened later?
Are they together?

Do they know each other's mind?
……

I only heard the old man's voice coming quietly and slowly: "...that feeling is really uncomfortable. I want to see him, but I am also afraid of seeing him. For a while, I feel that he is some kind of monster that eats people. I am afraid of him. Run over to find him."

"...I'm impatient, but I couldn't help it in the end and told him. But he..."

The old man covered his eyes with his hand, sighed and said: "He has been dishonest since he was a child. He fights every day and makes his family worry about him. In fact, he is very filial and obedient. How can he bear to let his family worry about him?" In the present generation, there have been several generals, and they all said that there are no dogs, how can he be a... a strange person who is pointed at behind his back?"

"Don't say he doesn't want to, I don't even want to see him become like that! So, after all, we all know the way to go. I later found out that he likes me too, and that's enough. I even Fortunately, it's not that he can't accept girls, he loves me, but this doesn't affect him falling in love with someone else later, getting married and having children like a normal person..."

"I think this is very good. I don't delay him, and he doesn't delay me...Of course, we didn't delay others either."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the ceramic cup in his hand.The heat has gradually dissipated, and the tea leaves sink to the bottom of the cup. After drinking it, I feel that it is more bitter than sweet, but I am used to the bitterness, so I don't feel bitter anymore.

"Later I went to see him... I went to his house as a guest. He has a wife and a son, both sons and daughters. The son looks like him. When I saw it, he was carved out of the same mold when he was young. His son didn't know Why, he also hits me very well, but I dare not talk too much to his son, for fear that I will shed tears while talking... It's not tears from sadness, but tears from happiness. It feels... like returning When I was a child, it was the same to him at that time, but I am not me anymore, I am old and far away from him. His daughter, who is very beautiful, is as beautiful as his wife, and his wife is also a good person ——I know him. That was our classmate in high school. We have always liked him. They are no match. For a person like him, he should find a dignified and virtuous woman and teach him a pair of lovely and intelligent children. That way , is a perfect life..."

He quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled with tears in his eyes: "I have nothing to regret, and I have nothing to owe—I didn't plan to get married at first, after all, I don't like anyone except him, so I don't want to marry you." Intended to harm others. But later, my wife came to me and said that she liked me and wanted to marry me. I said that I liked a man. Even if I married you, I couldn’t give you a normal married life. She didn’t believe it. I said I must try it, and I don’t blame me if it doesn’t work. Later, the family was very urgent, and everyone in the family liked her, so let’s get married. After getting married, it’s the same as what I told her. I can’t accept her, but she Don't blame me, still take care of me and treat me well... Then I will treat her well, no matter how other people take care of their wives, no matter how well they treat their wives and natal family, I will not fall behind, but I still feel guilty in my heart because I don't love her. She..."

"She was in poor health and died when she was in her 50s. But before she died, she said that she was still grateful to me and that I gave her a good marriage. Even if I didn't love her, she felt happy. However, she always One thing I regret is that I didn't leave a child for me - how can I blame her for this? It's me... Hey, I'm too stubborn, there's no way."

"A few years ago, he found out that he had an incurable disease. He called me and said that he wanted to go out with me to relax. Ha... two old men, why go out to relax? Sad."

"This 'relaxation' is a gift he owes me for half my life. I thought he forgot, but he didn't forget, and neither of us forgot. When I was 16 years old, he told me one day that when my brother had The money is gone, brother will take you to wander around the world! I said, how much money is considered rich? He was young at the time, and after thinking for a long time, he said, at least he must have money to go abroad! I said yes, when you have money, We went to Venice to take a boat, and went to Australia to see kangaroos... Unexpectedly, when this promise was fulfilled, we were already too old..."

When he said this, his voice trembled slightly, and his hands trembled unreasonably, but there was still a smile on his lips. After all, that "relaxation" was the last happy time in his life.
