Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven Encounter Jose

In an autumn rain, in the corner of a desolate, cold and damp wall, an unknown flower bloomed alone.Perhaps, this season does not belong to it, it blooms quietly, just to wait for an indefinite reunion.My fate with it is just this brief meeting.A few seconds, just a moment when a gust of wind blows by, can make it cherish a lifetime. If there is no attention this time, perhaps after a short flowering period, it will wither silently.There has never been an intersection, and there will be no regrets and thoughts.People are similar to flowers, every young woman has been amazed, blooming in the branches of the seasons, gorgeous and beautiful.But not everyone can meet the right person at the right age.Even if you meet the right person, it may not be able to give you the love you want.

"At that time, I was a beautiful woman. I know that when I smile, I will be like a spring flower, and it will surely touch people—no matter who he is." The woman, her smile is like a flower, bright as water.In the female dormitory of the Madrid Academy, on those bright moonlit nights, there was a "love song team" of Spanish boys playing guitar and singing under the balcony.And the last song must be dedicated to the Chinese girl named "Echo". Sanmao, with her elegance, nobility and beauty of an oriental woman, touched the hearts of young Spanish men.She is no longer the young girl she used to be, she has learned to accept their singing and love with a happy mood.In a distant foreign country, she must feed herself with enthusiasm in order to live happily.Gradually, she interrupted the infrequent communication with Shu Fan.Across mountains and rivers, that relationship is already a dreamland that I can't go back to.

Forgetting a person may take a lifetime.It only takes a moment to meet someone.Before the old age, there are still many people waiting for it, and many stories, staying for it. There was a Spanish boy named Jose Maria Quero.Sanmao called him, Jose.Without Sanmao, Jose might just be an ordinary engineer in Spain, living an ordinary but stable life in his homeland with a pot of wine and a bag of cigarettes.But because later, he married San Mao as his wife, and he became the hero in this famous writer's book.The ups and downs of emotions between him and Sanmao, and the fate of getting together and scattered, left a deep impression on the readers' hearts.

This Spanish man, who is not familiar with Chinese, always proudly tells others that his wife is a talented writer.Although, he couldn't understand her works, and he didn't know what kind of feelings were contained in those long and short words.But Jose loved Sanmao, and he gave all the love in his life to this Chinese woman.Since the age of eighteen, he has been waiting for her, and has never changed his infatuation for her.When she was displaced, he accompanied her to trek through mountains and rivers, and resisted the dust of the world for her. Jaen in the Andalusia region of southern Spain is the hometown of Jose.This is the largest olive oil producing area in Spain, and Jose's father has a large olive grove.There are several brothers and sisters in Jose's family. Since he was a child, he didn't like to study, and he was not obedient and obedient, so he didn't get much love.

When he was young, he dreamed of having a beautiful love.He once made a wish to marry a Japanese girl as his wife, and later he met Sanmao, an oriental woman with black hair and dark eyes, which made him fall in love at first sight.He swore that if he wanted to marry San Mao as his wife, no matter how much he paid, how many years he would wait.He never thought that this woman who was carrying the legend on the road would finally fall into his arms after a thousand twists and turns. Autumn in Spain, the leaves are falling, and winter is coming.Such a simple sentence always brings people infinite reverie.Because after the leaves fall, there is a story that will start quietly.

On Christmas Eve, Sanmao celebrated at a Chinese friend's house.At midnight, when neighbors and friends came out to say goodbye to each other, Sanmao met the man in his life, Jose.At this time, Jose can only be regarded as a boy, because he is not yet eighteen years old. Not all first-time encounters are shocking.But when San Mao first saw He Xi, he really had a momentary heartbeat.She described it like this: "When I saw him for the first time, I was shocked. I thought, how can there be such a handsome boy in the world? If one day I can be his wife, in vanity, it should be a kind of Satisfied."

All along, I thought Jose had melancholy eyes.He has a beard and looks rough, but also plain.Even though Sanmao had a short-term heartbeat, she has already passed the age of dreaming.Jose was different, just such a pair of eyes made him fall in love with this oriental woman at first sight.Jose, who refused to follow his parents to believe in religion since he was a child, became a follower of Sanmao.He fell in love with Sanmao, and regarded love as his belief and the pillar of everything in the future. Love has planted different causes and effects in everyone's heart.Some love, like a long stream of water, is light and flavorful.There are some loves that are unforgettable and will accompany you to the death.Sanmao and Jose became a pair of very happy friends. They played football and baseball together, rode motorcycles, and went shopping at second-hand stalls.Sanmao likes this Spanish boy and thinks he is innocent and simple, but all of this has nothing to do with love.

Sanmao also doesn't know that she has long been He Xi's dreaming woman.At that time, Sanmao was a sophomore in college, and Jose was a senior in high school.This impulsive boy, for love, started playing truant.During that time, Jose always slipped out of the campus to find his beloved woman.Sanmao still remembers that when she was studying in the dormitory of the academy, a Spanish friend came to tell her: "Echo, your cousin is here to find you." Sanmao was surprised, she didn't have a cousin, and no one came to look for her in Spain for so long.But when she walked to the balcony, she saw He Xi with a few books in her arms and a French hat he was wearing in her hand, as if she was about to squeeze water out of her nerves.This boy played truant to invite Sanmao to a movie.

Sanmao didn't care at first, she really regarded this boy as her younger brother.But then one after another, I could hear shouts of "Cousin is here, cousin is here" in the dormitory every day.Sanmao subconsciously felt that this boy who was a few years younger than her had fallen in love with her.This kind of love is so simple and pure that she can't bear to tell it easily, and she can't refuse it cruelly. Until one day, Jose solemnly said to Sanmao: "Echo, you wait for six years. I have four years to study in college and two years to serve in the military. Once the six years are over, I will marry you." , this is just a promise made by an immature child that is difficult to keep.But He Xi spoke so seriously, for a moment, Sanmao was moved, and he couldn't help but clenched He Xi's hand.

Jose said affectionately: His wish is to own a small apartment.He goes out to make money, and Sanmao cooks for him at home. This is the happiest thing in his life.Isn't this simple and beautiful wish what she dreamed of back then?Sanmao said similar things to his first love, Shu Fan.At that time, she dreamed of marrying Shu Fan and having a warm little family.And every day, she washes his hands and makes soup for him, and manages ordinary days for him.When twilight comes, leave a bright light for him who is about to go home. The memory is like a tide, drowning Sanmao in an instant.Those wounds that were thought to have healed already were still aching.She knew that Jose's love for her was real, just like herself back then.Indeed, she was moved, but she couldn't hurt him because of being moved.She clearly understood that she had no love for this boy, just a simple liking.She likes to let go of her mood with him when she is lonely, likes to see his simple smile, and likes to get along without asking why.

But now, this emotion is no longer pure.If He Xi had never confessed his love to her, she could pretend not to know and still be happily with him.But she can't let him wait infatuatedly, how can this doomed fruitless love start.Jose, this Spanish boy, had no idea that the woman he loved came here with a broken heart.Now, how could he easily believe and agree to his promise easily. Six years, what a long time.It is enough to make him grow from a boy to a man, and it is also enough to make Sanmao grow from a beautiful woman to youthful old age.This is a gamble, and Sanmao can't bet, let alone, she never thought of owning it.Even if they were strangers six years later, she would not feel much regret. Rather than waiting until then for him to hurt her, it is better to let him down now.Sanmao made a decision not to associate with Hexi anymore, she couldn't, and gave him a glimmer of hope.The scene of breaking up made Sanmao cry every time he thought of it. That night, there was a long-lost snowfall in Madrid.It seems to be a beautiful and sad ending for this relationship. "From today, don't come to me again... because six years is too long, I don't know where I will go, I won't wait for you for six years. You have to listen to me, don't come to pester me..." This is what Sanmao said to Jose, indifferent and decisive. Jose didn't understand what he did wrong, but he knew that Sanmao didn't want to continue to associate with him.She told him to be obedient and never come back.He loves her, and because of love, he must respect her.That night was extremely cold, with the wind blowing to the bone.Jose's heart was frozen in this cold night, and it melted and woke up after many years. Jose knew that he had to leave, he had to.He turned around while running, and shouted: "Echo, goodbye! Echo, goodbye!" Even though his heart was so painful that tears were about to fall, he still grimaced and smiled.Sanmao watched this infatuated boy gradually disappear into the vast night, with only snowflakes flying in the sky in front of him, telling this sad story.Sanmao almost shouted: "Joseph, come back!" But she didn't.Sanmao will never forget that scene.It took a full six years to miss this time.Many years later, Sanmao realized that some regrets can really be made up for; some fates can really be repeated.
