In our lives, there won’t be many beautiful and surprising scenes like those in novels, movies, and TV series.
Life is real and real. We will fall into longing for and be moved by beauty at a certain moment, but what we really have to face are the real days and the daily necessities that we cannot live without.
The lark-like voice came from a young girl in the east courtyard. She was sitting in a wheelchair at the moment, with a face as pure as water, immersed in the aftertaste of the song.
Sitting next to the girl was a middle-aged woman, quiet and dignified, who looked like a well-educated person. She seemed to be moved by the singing, or the singing brought back some memories in her, and there were tears in her eyes.
This courtyard is not as big as a courtyard. Although it has a small door and a small door, it is clean and elegant, and looks peaceful and warm in the night.
"Sister Amei, do you still want to hear it?" Erdun asked in a loud voice through the wall.
"I think so, you can sing again." The clear voice of the lark floated over.
The melodious sound of the matouqin sounded again, and a song from the Hulunbuir Prairie was sung by Erdun, a Mongolian man. People were once again immersed in the beautiful singing, as if they were on the grassland, seeing herds of cattle and sheep, turquoise lakes and blue water
Sky------
Late at night.
Lao Tan took a sip of the tea Yaru made and asked Yaru who was sorting out the wardrobe: "Yaru, what's going on with the little girl in the east courtyard?"
"You mean Amei? Haha, have you heard Erdun singing again?" Yaru asked with a smile.
"Um------"
"She loves to listen to Erdun singing------let me tell you, she lived here when we moved in, she is an old family------"
A Mei's house in the East Campus was rented out a year ago, and the family lived in a building in the south of the city. Unfortunately, bad luck struck. A Mei had a car accident on the way to school. Her left leg was crushed and her right foot was missing. She has been in a wheelchair ever since.
.
For the convenience of their daughter's travel, the parents moved back here from the building.
Although Lao Tan and the others knew that someone lived in the east courtyard when they came, they had never met him, so they didn't know.
After Erden arrived, he played the morinouqin and sang while he was drunk. On that day, like today, Ami sat in the yard with her mother to enjoy the cool air. She was attracted by the sound of the piano and the singing, and heard the sound of a lark.
From then on, they became familiar with each other. Every time Erdun played the piano and sang, Ami would listen to her on the other side of the wall and praise her.
This is the beauty of the world.
"Have you seen A Mei?" Lao Tan asked.
"I've seen her before." Yaru said: "She's quite quiet and looks like her mother. Her mother is a teacher. She didn't go to work after the car accident and has been taking care of her at home. By the way, her mother's hometown is Inner Mongolia." Yaru
explain.
"Oh------what does his father do?"
"Those who do business have a shop on Silk Street."
"Is she still in school?"
"No -------but he's quite smart and I like him very much."
After Yaru finished speaking, she smiled, looking like a good wife and loving mother.
Looking at Yaru, Lao Tan brought his thoughts back to his eyes and asked with concern: "Is your son a sophomore in high school?"
"Well, the senior year of high school has started." When she talked about her son Yaru, a happy expression appeared on her face. To be honest, her son was her pride. "Isn't it time for your son to go to junior high school?"
"Yes." Lao Tan said.
"Your son is smart and will definitely learn well."
"Haha, smart is smart, but you just don't study and just play ball all day long."
Lao Tan is also proud when talking about his son, but he feels guilty inside - he spends too little time with his son.
"You can play ball, and you're in good health." Yaru said, closing the closet door, sitting next to Lao Tan naturally, and asking, "How is your health lately?"
"It's fine, nothing happened." Lao Tan said.
"I'm thinking about taking antihypertensive medicine. By the way, how is Zhang Li?" Yaru asked.
"I'm recovering well. Nothing's wrong. I look like a normal person."
"That's pretty good------"
Although Yaru knows that the relationship between Lao Tan and Zhang Li is unusual, sometimes she feels sad, but kind people have one thing in common, that is, they are soft-hearted.
Speaking of which, it has been five years since Yaru got divorced and four years since she came to Aqiao. Whether in the provincial capital, Hohhot, or now Suzhou, she has gained a good reputation for her kindness and warm-heartedness.
She is like a family sister who takes good care of everyone. Wherever she is, there is always a sense of family affection. Everyone affectionately calls her "Sister Yaru", even the older ones.
In the past four years, she has brought out many apprentices. To be honest, she has brought out almost all the dumpling chefs in various stores in Hohhot. In this regard, she can be on par with Wang Hong.
Her good reputation and good character earned her a lot of praise. Several single older masters sent her courtship signals, but she rejected them all with a faint smile and a gentle smile.
It's not that those masters are not good enough, but that she has no plans to find another man to start a family. This does not mean that she will be alone for the rest of her life. She plans to make a few years of money first, save some savings, and give herself a strong support.
It’s not that society is too realistic, the situation is there. If a divorced woman doesn’t have any money, she won’t even try to get married again, and she will have to look up and down when speaking.
Having said that, although we are divorced, our son is our biological son and we don’t have to take care of it now. We have grandparents. When we start a family and start a business, can I not get paid when I become a mother?
I have to save some money for my son. It may not be much, but I have to save it.
Of course, the reason why she didn't plan to find a man was because of her son. Her son already had a stepmother, and she didn't want to find a stepfather for her, which would be a bit embarrassing. She wanted to wait until her son started a family and start a business, and then find an honest and kind man.
People live their entire lives in peace.
We may ask, is she interested in Lao Tan? Can the two of them renew their relationship and continue their youthful love?
The answer is no. Although she said that the man she likes should not be touched by others, there are mostly emotional elements in it, and she responds to the situation. She cannot and will not destroy Lao Tan's family. On the contrary, she hopes that he will live well.
.
Now that you are an adult, even if the branches of love that bloomed in your youth have not borne fruit, they will not reveal their juice again.
In the process of our growth, we have experienced ignorant boyhood, vigorous youth, mature and stable middle age, and old age looking back on the past. Each age group has its own characteristics, and at which age you will naturally use which one.
Age-appropriate thinking to think about problems, deal with people and deal with things.
This is an invisible rule and standard that has no transcendence for everyone. It can only come late or leave late.
There are two Lao Tan in Yaru's heart, one is the young, his first love; the other is the current, mature man. When he cannot see, or has insomnia and cannot fall asleep, the young Lao Tan will appear in front of his eyes.
My thoughts will also fly to twenty years ago, happily recalling the sweetness of love.
When I am with the mature Lao Tan, I feel as if I have completed the road of love that only I know. After many journeys and winds and rains, I have finally stabilized as if I was living a normal life.
My heart warms when I look at him, and my eyes look like a wife looking at her husband, like a sister looking at her brother, and like a sister looking at her younger brother. In short, there is no passion for love, but more care and tenderness from relatives.
Yes, dear, this is the feeling.
Yaru looked at the time and saw that it was already twelve o'clock. She stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, she said, "The clothes you changed are on the bedside. Just put the ones you take off in the washing machine. I'll wash them tomorrow."
"Yeah, I understand." Lao Tan agreed.
"I'm sleepy, I'm going back."
Yaru opened the door and went out, then turned around and said: "Go to bed early and stop looking at your phone." (To be continued)
