"At that time, the girl was worthless as soon as her youth passed, but I was not afraid, and then others spread rumors that I was sick and could not get married, and my father found someone to beat them up so that no one dared to say it, he went to school, and then had time to come to see me, and would bring me pastries to eat, beautiful hair ropes, and every time he would bring a rose to ......"
"He said that in the future, he will set up a small yard in our house and plant me full of roses, I said okay, he said that he can't give me a lot of wealth, but he can give me a yard full of roses, what is wrong with saying that there are roses in the yard, how fragrant and beautiful, much more interesting than those." The old woman smiled softly.
"Later, I waited and waited, and finally waited until he finished school, but it happened to be a war, he was going to enlist in the army to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, my father almost didn't beat him to death, he said that he wanted me to wait for him for a few years, my father disagreed, I still said okay, no way, who let me identify him, that day my father hit me for the first time, he slapped me, scolded me for not being angry, he said he was lying to me......"
"My mother was also sad, but she couldn't bear to blame me, so she had to persuade my father to leave, and I waited for him to go, and he left for several years, and on the day he left, he brought me a pot of roses, which had grown very well, and he said that he would plant them in our yard in the future......"
"In the past few years, there has been war again, he has not come back for a few years, we have taken refuge everywhere, completely cut off the news, and then it was peaceful for a while, we also went home, my father is okay if he can't get married, he can support me for a lifetime, I know that my father has never been willing to hurt me, but I still haven't waited for him to ......"
"The bullets and artillery on the battlefield are not long-sighted, I don't know when I die, I don't know why I waited, and then I met the bad guys, I was defiled, I wanted to commit suicide in the past, but I was worried that my parents couldn't bear it, I tried my best to pretend that nothing happened, from the age of eighteen to the age of thirty, I was already an old girl, and I had no hope."
"Then one day, a man in military uniform came to me and said that their commander asked them to pick me up, I didn't dare to go, and then a few days later, he came to pick me up in person, he had changed from a teenager to a man, wearing a clean officer uniform, so good-looking, he said he came to marry me, I told him that I was defiled, he said it doesn't matter, as long as I'm still here......"
"He came to the house to propose, did what he promised before, gave me a yard, planted roses for me, gave me hairpins every day, praised me for being beautiful and not changed......" The old grandmother smiled shyly and said: "Although there are no children, we are very happy, and later, he is no longer an official, but took me to live in seclusion, back to the old business of selling flowers, my father said before leaving that he couldn't imagine that I was so brave, and really let me wait, he saw that I was doing well and was relieved." ”
"Later, I thought, if I hadn't boldly called him to propose marriage at that time, I hadn't waited for him, what would I have done without him, if I really committed suicide, it would really be a lifelong regret......
Ji Mochen clenched Ning Lengzhi's hand, feeling deeply, Ning Lengzhi listened to it, and unconsciously leaned on Ji Mochen.
"That's why I'm telling you, son, be brave." The old lady looked at Ning Lengzhi and said: "When I saw you that day, it was like seeing my young self, wandering and helpless, with love but not daring to say it and not facing it, entangled and avoiding, leaving only regrets." ”
"En......" Ning Lengzhi nodded, and then said with a smile: "So bring him here today and tell you...... I'm brave, so the roses bloomed......"
Ji Mochen smiled beautifully, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said to the old grandmother: "Thank you, if you hadn't woken her up, she might not know where she would be hiding again." ”
"The child is so cute, how can I bear not to give him a complete home, don't thank me, thank God if you want to thank you, he won't let you separate." The old grandmother smiled gently.
"Well, thank you, I'm getting married another day, please drink the wedding wine." Ji Mochen is still in high spirits.
"I don't drink wine if I like it, I can bring my children to chat with me and drink tea when I have time." The old woman took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "Okay, the old man is still tending to the flowers and plants, I don't feel at ease when I look at it." ”
Knowing that the old man was euphemistically driving people away, the two of them were not annoyed, and stood up and prepared to leave.
"Goodbye, next time I'll buy flowers." Ning Lengzhi said with a smile.
"By the way, speaking of which." The old grandmother said and stood up: "Wait, I'll be right here." ”
The two of them stood in place and waited patiently, and the old grandmother went into the backyard, and came out after a while, holding a purple chrysanthemum in her hand and handing it to Ning Lengzhi.
"I have raised this flower for many years, although you young people like roses and lilies or something, but I want to give you this," the old grandmother looked at the chrysanthemum and said: "We are fateful, the days are like chrysanthemums, can bloom when other flowers can't hold up, the most firm, the flowers can also be dried to make flower tea, clear the fire and bright eyes, although bitter but also sweet, don't think too much, don't be afraid of hardship, two people support each other, taste together is a lifetime......"
"Yes, thank you." Ning Lengzhi bent down and bowed slightly.
"Alright, let's go." The old grandmother smiled and patted Ning Lengzhi's hand and said.
"Goodbye." After speaking, the two turned around and left the flower shop, and the grandmother watched the two go hand in hand, and then went back to the yard, watched the old man busy in the field, and then took a towel to wipe his sweat.
"They are so happy......" After coming out, Ning Lengzhi looked at the chrysanthemum in his hand and sighed.
"Well, we can do it too......" Ji Mochen hugged her gently.
"Really......" Ning Lengzhi looked at him, and there was still an unsolvable tangle and lingering confusion in his eyes.
She lowered her head and kissed his eyes, her eyelashes flickered slightly, rubbing his lips and spreading from her lips to the bottom of her heart, and her whole heart was crisp and numb.
"Believe me, didn't Grandma tell you? Be courageous, as long as you believe in me and don't leave, we will be happy. Ji Mochen said softly but firmly.
"How's my ID card going?" Ning Lengzhi asked suddenly.
"Well, it's almost there, or a few days." Ji Mochen replied, because her identity was changed to Bai Qi, but he and she preferred to return to the name Ning Lengzhi, so Ji Mochen had already been working on it not long ago.
"Let's get it, let's go get the certificate......" Ning Lengzhi blushed and hung his head.
didn't give her a chance to hang her head, Ji Mochen stopped, raised her chin, lowered her head and kissed it, hooking and entangled, the pedestrians on the road saw it, and sighed in their hearts, love is so beautiful......
The two people hugged each other closely, and the chrysanthemums in the woman's hands were in full bloom, and they seemed to be shining with happiness......
