hate farewell thirteen

"On the way here, it suddenly snowed again, and I fell all over."

Zhou Ru hung Song Shuman's coat on the wooden shelf at the door, "I'll add some charcoal to make it warmer."

"I'll just go." Song Shuman added coal to the stove while saying, "When did the red plum tree outside bloom, it's covered by snow, how can it suppress the red plum tree?"

"When you mentioned it like that, I remembered it. This year's wine hasn't been brewed yet. I'm going to pick some plum blossoms."

"I'll go with you."

Zhou Ru smiled, "You just came from outside, it's very cold, I'll pick some and come back soon, just wait for me in the house."

Song Shuman followed her, Zhou Ru went out the door and turned to face her, "Don't follow, I'll stop here, I'm just going downstairs."

Song Shuman gently pressed her forehead against Zhou Ru's, "Then come back quickly."

"Know it."

Song Shuman waited in the room, and casually took the collection of poems placed by Zhou Ru's bed, and put a piece of paper in the book as a bookmark, on the paper was written "The most difficult thing to keep in the world, Zhu Yan Ci Jinghua Ci Shu. "

It's Zhou Ru's handwriting. Her handwriting has always been neat and beautiful, just like her own, beautiful and elegant.

She always wonders about Zhou Ru's past, the past named Li Qisheng, whether he lived a life of being raised by his father's love and mother's love, came from Zhejiang, and suffered many changes and sorrows to become what he is today. Zhou Ru.

It's just that Song Shuman won't ask about Li Qisheng's past. No matter how good or bad those days were, if I mention them now, I can't go back after all. Other people's stories.

When Zhou Ru came back, Song Shuman put down her book and ran to Zhou Ru.Zhou Ru put down the bamboo basket full of red plums, her hands were red from the cold, Song Shuman covered Zhou Ru's hands, "Is it cold?"

"It's just looking at the cold with red hands, but it's actually okay. I used to get used to it. It was much colder than this. At that time, the carbon could not be supplied, and it was even colder."

Zhou Ru laughed, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and the smile stained his brows, "Everything is better now than before, and you are here."

Zhou Ru washed the plum blossoms and put them on the window to dry. Song Shuman forgot to put back the note she took out from the book just now. Now she picked it up, Zhou Ru asked her: "What are you looking at?"

Song Shuman handed it to her, "The words you wrote."

Zhou Ru took the note, "Say this word. I practiced Zanhua Xiaokai when I was a child. I have practiced it for several years, and I can't forget it until now."

Song Shuman read the poem on the paper again: "The most difficult thing is that the world can't keep it, Zhu Yan Ci Jing Hua Ci Tree."

"This sentence is really bleak to read, why did you leave this sentence?"

"If you think about it, the ones you can't keep are the ones you miss the most and want to keep. The author of this poem is from the same family as me, and they are both from Zhejiang."

Song Shuman turned it over, and wrote on the back, "The most important thing is a year of spring, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital."

"Why did you write this sentence?"

"The plum blossoms are blooming, and spring is coming. Last year, I accompanied Qingmei to the temple to pray for blessings. When I went down the mountain, I saw a fallen lamp in the forest where the stone steps extended."

"Did you go to pray for blessings too? What did you ask for?"

"It won't work if you say it."

"Zhou Ru, when the Lantern Festival arrives, let's go to release the sky lanterns too."

"Okay."

During the Lantern Festival, Song Shuman wanted to sneak out after eating glutinous rice balls at home, but was caught.

Song Hongsheng asked her: "You've been running outside all the time recently, where are you going now?"

"If you don't go anywhere, just go outside and take a walk."

"Today's Lantern Festival, I will accompany Cheng Liang later, and our family will go to watch the lantern together. You also take your brother to guess those crossword puzzles and see how many you can guess."

"Yes."

Song Shuman said yes, but she was thinking anxiously, it's not bad to be with her younger brother and father, but what about Zhou Ru who made an appointment.

The bustling streets are bustling with crowds, hawkers hawking, mixed with people's laughter and laughter, and the streets are brightly lit with various lights.This is Song Shuman's first time seeing lanterns after returning to China. There is no Lantern Festival in the West, so I can only remember the festival in my heart. At that time, I always miss my family.

Song Shuman held Song Chengliang's little hand, but her younger brother was getting older, and little boys were always restless. Song Chengliang always wanted to get rid of it, so she held it tightly.

There is a peddler at the bridgehead hawking: "Candied haws, candied haws."

Song Chengliang tugged at the hand held by his sister, "I want to eat that candied haws."

Song Shuman handed Song Chengliang's hand to Butler Li, "Sister, go buy it for you!"

After speaking, Song Shuman slipped into the crowd.It's just that she didn't buy candied haws, but ran in Zhou Ru's direction, passing through the bustling crowd, all the way there.

When they arrived at the appointed place, Zhou Ru was already there, and Song Shuman came in front of her, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It didn't take long." Zhou Ru took out a handkerchief to wipe Song Shuman's sweat, "Where did you come from, or is it winter, why is your head full of sweat?"

"It takes a lot to explain. Let's go to put the sky lanterns first, and I will tell you later."

Song Shuman took Zhou Ru's hand and stepped on the long stone steps. They ran on the stone steps, bypassing the passers-by, bathed in moonlight and street lamps, and only the sound of the wind remained in their ears.

Zhou Ru would not ask her why she ran away, she would just hold Song Shuman's hand and follow her, she would always believe in her.

They stood on the platform on the top of the hill, looking down at the stars in the city.Song Shuman rested her back on the fence and panted, she watched Zhou Ru panting together, the hair of the two temples was wet with sweat.

Song Shuman couldn't help laughing, "Father asked me to accompany my brother to enjoy the lanterns and guess lantern riddles. I sneaked out on the pretext of buying candied haws for my brother, for fear of losing your appointment."

"It doesn't matter if you don't come, there must be a reason for you not to come, I can understand."

"If I don't come today, you will stand there waiting all night."

"You have a good idea. I won't wait for you all night. If you don't come, I will go back."

Song Shuman reached out to Zhou Ru with her palm up, "Let's go, let's go release the sky lantern."

Zhou Ru took her hand, and the two went to the temple to fetch sky lanterns.Oil was poured on the rag, and the mouth of the bucket was facing down. When the cloth was ignited, the hot air penetrated into the paper bucket, and the lamp swelled up. The two men held the bottom ring to prevent the lamp from flying away.

Song Shuman handed Zhou Ru a pen, "You write on the left side, I write on the right side, you write first, and I will hold the lamp for you."

Zhou Ru picked up the pen, wrote down the three characters "Song Shuman", passed the pen to Song Shuman, Song Shuman took it, and wrote the two characters "Zhou Ru".

The two glanced at each other, they didn't know they wrote each other's names, Song Shuman's hand holding the praying lantern was pressed against Zhou Ru's hand, the two looked at each other and laughed together.

"Let it fly up."

The names of the two people were written on the praying sky lantern, slowly rising, getting farther and farther apart, and getting smaller, carrying the expectations of Song Shuman and Zhou Ru, and turning into an extremely shining star in the sky.

Zhou Ru looked at the praying lantern in the sky mixed into thousands of sky lanterns in the sky, and couldn't tell who belonged to it. "No matter how high or far you fly, you still can't escape the result of falling. of."

"That's not the case. It flew to the other side of the sky and conveyed our prayers at the place closest to the sky. After the gods heard it, they granted our wishes. After receiving the promise of the gods, the sky lantern sank back to the world. .”

Song Shuman held Zhou Ru's hand, "The moment the sky lantern fell into the world, the wish I made came true. Zhou Ru, we will be together for a long time."

Zhou Ru echoed: "Be together for a long time."

Song Shuman and Zhou Ru strolled down the mountain, and heard fireworks at the bottom of the mountain.I don’t know who set off fireworks, and the fireworks in the night sky just bloomed in the dark blue, one after another, gorgeous and colorful.They committed themselves under thousands of lamps without losing their own style.

The instantaneous light of the fireworks is stronger and clearer than the moonlight. Song Shuman looked at Zhou Ru beside her. When she saw Zhou Ru for the first time, she felt that her eyes were very beautiful, like a pool of autumn water, bright and gentle.

In her short 22 years, she has met many people, but before she met Zhou Ru, all she wanted was to follow her father's wishes and marry a man who his father wanted.She didn't understand Lin Dailan's worries before, so she didn't ask for them, so naturally she didn't care.

After meeting Zhou Ru, she also wanted to taste what the world said about love.It turned out that love was hidden in my heart, and when I saw that person, it unconsciously ran out of my eyes.So, from now on, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, she will only have that person in her eyes.

"Zhou Ru, I've been living a calm life. I have no intention of doing anything, not to mention love, but you break my reason all the time. When sensibility takes over, I have to let myself be manipulated."

"Zhou Ru, you are the bright moon in the mountains, and you are also the peach blossoms. I love the bright moon in front of the window, and I also love the bright peaches in spring. I love thousands and thousands of people in this world, all of you."

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Song Shuman shook her head and smiled at Zhou Ru, "It's nothing, let's go back."

"Shuman." Zhou Ru called to stop her.

"what happened?"

"Did I ever tell you I love you?"

Before Song Shuman could reply, Zhou Ru approached Song Shuman, looked Song Shuman squarely in the eyes, and said: "I love you."

This is the first time that Zhou Ru said "I love you" to Song Shuman, which reminded Song Shuman of the kiss in return when it first snowed.

They kissed at night, using the sky and the earth as a mirror, and the sky lantern as a witness, quietly telling each other their love.

Song Shuman brought a candied haws before returning home, and her father was already waiting at home, "Where did you go?"

"I bought candied haws for Cheng Liang. There were too many people, so I got separated. I didn't find you and my brother, so I went shopping and came back."

Song Shuman handed the candied haws skewers to his younger brother, and Song Chengliang left happily with his candied haws.

"It's just your little tricks. I have never been young when you are your father."

Song Shuman hurriedly knelt beside her father, beating her legs and acting like a spoiled child, "Daddy, my daughter is wrong."

"Forget it, my daughter is getting older, and I can't keep it anymore. When you feel it's appropriate, you can also take her home and let me have a look. It's getting late, go back to your own room to rest."

When Song Shuman went upstairs, he heard his father shout again: "Song Chengliang, you can only eat two pieces of that bunch of candied haws, do you hear me?"
