No.70 days

On Saturday, May 5th, Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi returned to Yongchuan.

The two went to the graves of Yang Long and Xiaojuan first, and the light rain in Yongchuan washed the blue-gray tombstones spotlessly.They brought two oranges, a handful of cherries, and a bunch of lilies, and enshrined them in front of the tomb. The colors are very bright.Yang Shuyi knelt down and kowtowed slowly.

Then he got up and stared silently at the tombstone, Shao Wu held an umbrella for him.There are several bright pink morning glory blooming in the grass behind, and the flower buds are slightly shaken by the raindrops.Photos of Yang Long and Xiao Juan were pasted on the tombstone. They were both in their forties at that time, and their young smiles were like morning glory.

A few minutes later, Yang Shuyi said, "Let's go back."

Shao Wu faced the tombstone and bowed.He thought in his heart, don't worry, Shuyi is fine, and Longlong is fine too.

On the bus back, Yang Shuyi said: "When I applied for volunteers, I wondered if I would have a chance to find them if I studied geography."

Shao Wu was stunned for a second: "You..."

"But I really liked this major," Yang Shuyi smiled gently, "It was only later that I realized that it was very difficult to find a chance... It was so sudden at the time. The day before their accident, Aunt Xiaojuan called back and asked Did Longlong do her homework seriously? At that time, I really hoped that these were all dreams, and one day I would wake up, and they were still there."

Yang Shuyi's tone was very flat. From his voice, it seemed that the heart-piercing pain could no longer be heard.

But Shao Wu still held his hand firmly.

Yang Shuyi lowered his eyes and continued: "Later, I felt like I hadn't woken up from this dream. My father-in-law left, my mother-in-law was sick, and Zou Xin kept lying to me. I don't know why, but my life became a mess. I even doubted I also live in a fake and arranged world like "The Truman Show", "His speech speed is getting slower and slower, and his voice is getting lower and lower, rubbing Shao Wu's heart like sandpaper," Until that day when you went to find me in Wenchuan, you got off the bus, carrying a black bag and wearing such thin clothes. I suddenly, suddenly figured out one thing, if my unlucky life is fake, it is a It's a dream, so why did you appear?"

Yang Shuyi shook his head self-consciously, without looking at Shao Wu, as if a little embarrassed: "You are so good, it is my only good luck...so I am not completely unlucky."

Shao Wu said: "It will be fine in the future."

Yang Shuyi smiled: "It's fine now."

They went to the restaurant together to pack a few dishes, and then carried them to my aunt's house.It was my mother-in-law who opened the door. Her cheeks were rosy, her hair was gray, and she looked a little like a child with white hair.

"Shuyi! Xiao Shao!" The mother-in-law smiled, her voice full of excitement, "I'm back! Come on, come in!"

"Grandma, how is your health recently?" Shao Wu asked.

"It's very good." The mother-in-law poured water for them, and Shao Wu's heart hung up, worrying that she would not be able to hold the kettle steadily.

However, the unexpected accident did not happen. The mother-in-law poured two glasses of boiling water steadily and handed them to them.

After the dishes were served, the four of them sat around the table, chatting while eating.The mother-in-law was still the same as the last time they met, asking them whether their work was going well, asking how they were doing in the exam, and asking why Longlong hadn't finished school yet... Yang Shuyi coaxed her patiently, saying, Longlong has Going to university, in Beijing; our work is going well, and Xiao Shao got No.1 in the class...

"Oh, oh," the mother-in-law scooped up a spoonful of shrimp like a child, and nodded repeatedly, "That's good."

Shao Wu and his aunt looked at each other, and the aunt smiled helplessly.

Shao Wu's heart was sour, and he was glad that at least her mother-in-law could spend her old age peacefully.

After eating, my aunt took the bowl to the kitchen first, and Yang Shuyi suddenly said, "Xiao Shao, help my aunt clean up."

"Oh, good." Usually, he was used to Yang Shuyi washing dishes, so Shao Wu came to his senses and quickly got up and went into the kitchen, "Auntie, I'll do the washing!"

"Why don't you go and sit, are you tired from driving today?"

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Shao Wu rolled up his sleeves and picked up a rag to wipe the stove.

The two of them worked together, and it was quickly cleaned up.My aunt told Shao Wu to sit outside, and she had to wait for the electric kettle to boil in the kitchen.Shao Wu walked out of the kitchen and sat down on the sofa.Yang Shuyi and her mother-in-law were in the bedroom in the back room, the door was ajar.It wasn't that Shao Wu deliberately eavesdropped on their conversation, but that her mother-in-law was getting old and hard of hearing, so Yang Shuyi had to raise his voice to speak to her.Shao Wu heard it clearly.

At the same time, Shao Wu could hear that Yang Shuyi was trying his best to restrain his voice.

So I asked him to help clean up just now, in order to distract him?

Mother-in-law: "Which one is Zou Xin?"

Yang Shuyi: "It's Niuniu! Do you remember? You still went after we got married!"

Mother-in-law: "Her name is Zou Xin. I don't know her name is Niu Niu."

Yang Shuyi: "Yes! Mother-in-law, I won't live with her anymore!"

Mother-in-law: "Why?"

Yang Shuyi: "We can't live together!"

Mother-in-law: "Hey——"

Yang Shuyi: "I'm working in Chongqing now!"

Mother-in-law: "Didn't you study in Chongqing?"

Yang Shuyi: "I've graduated! I'm done studying!"

Mother-in-law: "Oh..."

Yang Shuyi was silent for two seconds, and then said: "I live with Xiao Shao now!"

Shao Wu:? !

He turned his head to look at the kitchen. Fortunately, the kitchen door was closed, and his aunt was still waiting for the water to boil.

Goosebumps almost frightened—why did Yang Shuyi say these things? !

The mother-in-law's voice came out again: "Ah? You live in Xiao Shao's house?"

Yang Shuyi: "Yes! We live together, very comfortable!"

Shao Wu's cold sweat came down.

But then he heard his mother-in-law laughing:

"Yes, Xiao Shao studies well, let him teach you more!"

Yang Shuyi: "I think so too!"

Mother-in-law: "To save your old man from scolding you for being playful every day. (Old man: Dad)"

Yang Shuyi also smiled: "Don't worry, I won't be playful anymore!"

The topic of divorce has just been revealed, and it seems that he has revealed a closet to his mother-in-law by the way... But Shao Wu also understands that her mother-in-law must not understand.She couldn't even tell whether her grandson was married or not.

Stayed at my aunt's house for one night, and the next day, the two took the high-speed train back to Chongqing.

On the way, Shao Wu asked Yang Shuyi: "Why did you suddenly say that to your mother-in-law?"

Yang Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear that?"

Shao Wu: "Yes."

"I think I should tell her," Yang Shuyi looked sideways out of the window, "I used to think that she was relieved when I got married, and I had to get married while she was still sober... Now I feel that since I am very happy, I should Let her know?"

Yang Shuyi sighed lightly: "But she can't understand it either, so I guess I'll forget it tomorrow."

Shao Wu didn't know what to say, so he sat silently.Yang Shuyi turned his head to look at Shao Wu, and smiled: "I almost forgot... I'm not used to it yet."

He unzipped his pocket and carefully pulled out their rings.Both rings are the same size, so it's impossible to tell which is which.Shao Wu took one and put it back on his ring finger.

Yang Shuyi also put it on, and then quickly squeezed Shao Wu's hand.The two rings touched together, making a small, crisp sound.

Shao Wu said: "From now on we can come back every weekend."

Yang Shuyi smiled and nodded.

The high-speed train shuttles in the drizzle, and outside the window is the green summer of Chongqing. This kind of summer overlaps layer after layer in his memory... Shao Wu remembered many old things. In math class, he turned his head to peek at Yang Shuyi and was arrested by Lao Chen Now, Zhu Jingjing joked with Zhou Lei and Han Huiyuan with a smile. In the winter morning, he brought Yang Shuyi a small noodle for breakfast... and in the Spring Festival of 2007, he went to Yang Shuyi's house for dinner and met Yang Long for the first time. It's not as vicious as imagined.The dishes made by Aunt Xiaojuan are very delicious.Yang Long was drunk and said repeatedly that our family has encountered many things this year, and all of them have passed!No extreme happiness, no extreme prosperity...

The truth is, there is no denying it.

In the following many years, when he fell in love with Yang Shuyi like crazy, he also gradually understood that in this world, luck and misfortune cannot be directly proportional, and sacrifice and reward cannot be directly proportional. Fate and love are not rewarded by nature thing.

He was confused and resentful about it.

However, at this moment, the train was heading towards the familiar Shapingba Railway Station, and Yang Shuyi was sitting beside him with his chin propped up, choosing takeaway on his mobile phone.At this moment, Shao Wu decided to forgive everything and understand everything.

He thought that he and Yang Shuyi would be together well, and live the rest of this life, all the flowing time.
