Chapter 29 Cherish the person in front of you

At the youngest age, he met her. They were all poor children. When they came to college, he only had a hundred yuan in his pocket, and she was wearing underwear made by her mother. At that time, they thought that they must gain a foothold in the city of Beijing. At that time, she was 20 and he was 21. There is no money to spend, but the love between the two is not lacking at all. Sitting by the lake, reading and chatting, he picks the grass at hand, weaves a grass ring for her, and puts it on her ring carefully. On the hand, she said with a smile, it looks good. She put that ring in the book when he was not prepared, and she kept wearing it secretly since then. He said that if he had money in the future, he would buy her gold, silver, and diamonds.At this time, she believed it.

In their senior year, they ate the forbidden fruit and she became pregnant. At that time, the school ethos was very strict, and when the school found out about it, she took it on herself and did not mention his name. Although all the classmates and teachers knew it was him, she said, no, it was not his, it was with him. It doesn't matter, the future of the two of them can't be delayed. She wants to let him know how much she loves him, and she can even give up everything for him. He knelt in front of her, don't worry, we said we will love each other forever, after graduation I will pick you up when I find a good job, you go home first and wait for me, okay?

She couldn't stay in Beijing any longer and went back to her hometown.He also kept his promise, made a phone call every day, and came back once every two months. When he graduated, he stayed in Beijing as he wished, and entered the Central Government Office. He is a rural child. He is a girl from Beijing, his parents are high-ranking cadres, and having a car and a house is not counted, but it can also be of great help to his future. At that time, he was a little shaken. Yes, she is in the countryside, just a girl who has not graduated, and she is about to have a baby. What future can she have in the future?At that moment, he tilted his emotional balance, but he still found it in his conscience that it was inappropriate to do so.

When giving birth, she called and said, at this time, how much I miss you by my side. It was two months after he rushed back, he saw her breastfeeding the child with her arms open, her hair was disheveled, rice particles were stained on her placket, and her complexion was yellow.The child in his arms screamed, he was very depressed, thinking of the beautiful woman he pursued in Beijing, it was heaven and earth. She saw his panic, and also saw his hesitation, she said, if you are inconvenient, I will not drag you down, really, I can marry someone else, and I also know that the you today and yesterday are not the same And the language.

At this time, he was ashamed, a shame that was difficult to tell others, but it was true that he didn't want her, so he took out a bank card, which was 20,000 yuan, which was very important to her. It's a big sum, he lied, he didn't say he didn't love him, he just said, I'm going abroad and I don't know when I'll be back, so don't wait for me. He didn't go abroad, but fell in love with a high-ranking son, went to eat Western food at Maxim's restaurant, learned to wear a suit and tie, went to drink coffee in a five-star hotel with a piano, and said in English Dear, in short, he wants to abandon all the old ways, and he wants to start a new love and a new life.

Fearing that she would disturb her, he changed his phone number and told all his classmates and friends that he was going abroad and was going through the formalities. And she simply gave him more straightforward news, she said, I'm married, don't worry about me, you and me, the world is over. Only then did he let go of his heart, and since then he has publicized his modern and fashionable love and integrated himself into the circle of Beijingers, but sometimes he also panics. It was in a dream that he met her, and her tears flowed over and over again. Q: Didn't you say you want to be with me forever?

She woke up in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was married and didn't cause trouble for herself.It seems that money can settle everything. Soon, he also got married, and after three years of marriage, he went abroad as expected, and he gradually forgot about her, because the current wife is not so good, and she still has a young lady temper, if he knows that he has a son, he will definitely not be forgiven His, so, he was very tight-lipped and kept it a secret. A few years later, his wife fell in love with a Dutchman and filed for divorce. He took his young daughter to live in the United States. Fortunately, the business was doing well. Soon, he became the vice president of a large international company. In his dream, I often think of her, how is she doing?

He knew that he was no longer qualified to think about her, he was the one who gave up on her, he was the one who didn't want her, but now, he didn't have the wife he wanted to sleep with for many years, but he was thinking about him. She was a simple little orchid, so calm, never ostentatious, never asked for anything from him, and he didn't even buy her a single button. A few years later, when he returned to China, he turned to several people to inquire about her, and inquired about her everywhere, but there was no news of her. So, he flew to Sichuan alone to find her. Back to her hometown where she stayed, he saw her.

Working as an accountant in a township enterprise, she is still so delicate and thin, wearing a floral skirt, a 35-year-old woman who doesn't look young anymore, but her face has changed. He thought she would cry and be shocked, but she just asked calmly: Are you back?As if he had just left the house yesterday, as if he had never left. The two sat down quietly, he casually flipped through her books, she still liked reading so much, but when she found the ring, he felt as if he had been hit in an instant, after all these years, she still kept this grass ring? you?He said. She smiled quietly, this is the first ring I received, so I want to cherish it.

So, are you not afraid of your husband talking about you?He noticed that her fingers were bare, there was no ring at all, and she said calmly without raising her head, I have never been married. He was shocked, you——she said, back then, it was to make you give up and make you feel at ease. I thought, if you love someone, give him the greatest freedom, and you have said to me all your life, then, let me guard Follow your own love for a lifetime. With a plop, he fell to his knees: My dear, forgive me. She helped him up, let's go, let's take you to see your son. His son is already in the first year of high school. When he saw it from a distance, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. The tall, handsome and straight son was just like him back then. He wanted to run over, but she stopped him. Don't do it, the child thought His father is in the United States, and he has passed away. I keep telling him how much his father loves and loves him.

He gently held her shoulder and asked, do I still have a chance? She smiled quietly, I don't love anymore, you know, there is no love waiting for you, but I can't love others, I am willing to live like this with my son until I am old. At that moment, he knew what it meant to be a memory, but he was at a loss at that time. She still regards him as a friend, taking him around, seeing the scenery of the small town, and making handmade dumplings for him to eat, but everything has ended and has nothing to do with love, but she still has him in her heart, just a shadow in the world , what she once loved, wanted, and promised. Only then did she know that love is sometimes a matter of one person. When he left, she gave something. It was the bank card he gave her back then. She said that there are some things that cannot be bought with money, such as love. When boarding the plane, he said, forgive me.And she hugged him gently, and then said: Look, you also have white hair, you are middle-aged, live well, I never hated you at all, thank you for the love you once gave me. At this point, he finally understood that he had lost a heart like gold. On the plane back, he looked at the photo of her and her son again and again, and then clutched his chest, tears streaming down his face. From then on, he understood what a promise is like, what is forever. So, when his wife regretted returning to him, he quietly accepted her and said, it would be good if she came back.His wife cried and asked him why, and he said, because I understand that cherishing what is in front of me is more important than anything else.
