Looking up at the stars in 1946

Before Han Yan got married, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out first.

The Japanese finally stopped hiding and finding various reasons to invade China's land, but directly clamored to rule the entire East Asian region.After learning the lessons of the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek also began to realize the importance of establishing a national united front, and no longer pursued the Communist Party fiercely, but sought cooperation within the two parties.There were many guerrilla forces hidden in the Northeast, and they gradually surfaced under the call for a nationwide war of resistance. Yang Jingyu, who was then the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, took the lead in issuing the "Information in Response to the Sino-Japanese War" The Letter to the Northeast Compatriots and the Announcement of the General Command of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army called on the people of all ethnic groups in the Northeast to unite and drive out the Japanese invaders.

For a time, the situation in the Northeast was turbulent, and resistance struggles came and went one after another.In order to control the situation, in the name of the Manchurian Empire, the Japanese set up large and small secret service agencies throughout the Northeast region. Anyone who behaved suspiciously was arrested and shot, and they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Even Yuanmaotun, which is far away from the center of the struggle, is shrouded in this undercurrent.

Wang Yuandao, the original director of Miyamura, also served as the leader of the spy organization in Yuanmao Village and several nearby villages. With the support of the Japanese, he raised a group of scoundrels and bad ruffians, and walked around Yuanmao Village every day.If you meet anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, you will say that he is a guerrilla, and if you are at a low level, you will be dragged to squat on the fence, or at a serious point, you will be shot directly, which disturbed several villages.Families with a little extra money gave them all kinds of benefits before Wang Yuandao came to them. Those who had money gave money but those who had no money gave things. Families with poor families sometimes had to send their wives and daughters. .Now the situation is stronger than others, and everyone understands that they can only knock their teeth down and swallow them.

Better to die than to live.People in Yuanmao Village are busy with life and death, eating, sleeping, working, marrying wives and having children, and rushing through their lives in between.

Han Yan originally thought that he could marry a wife and have children like everyone else, and then plant a few acres of land, so that the rest of his life would be smooth and stable.

It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.On the night of getting married in the bridal chamber, Han Yan felt cold from head to toe in front of Xiao Yuan's white body.No matter how Xiaoyuan teases, seduces, or even puts on the most slutty poses, Han Yan remains indifferent.

At the end of the day, Madoka couldn't help crying on the pillow.

"I should have thought of it earlier..."

Han Yan sat on the top of the kang blankly.

There are some things that you cannot forget without thinking about them or looking at them.Thousands of days and nights of being together day and night have long intertwined desire and emotion, deeply carved into Han Yan's body.Before he discovered it, it had already penetrated into the bone marrow, and he was dying.Now that I understand it, it just adds to the sadness.

Han Yan silently picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.

"Where are you going?" Madoka sobbed behind her back.

"I'll sleep in another room." Han Yan said.

"Don't, your parents should be very sad when you go out now." Xiaoyuan said, "Let them be happy for a few days first."

Han Yan shook his head and said, "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. They should know. And I don't want to delay you."

"You're a good girl, not worth it for someone like me."

Madoka cried "Wow" again.

Han Yan walked out slowly.

Parents were already fast asleep, and Han Yan couldn't bear to wake them up, so he walked slowly in the yard alone.

The moonlight flowed in the yard like water, passing through the mottled tree shadows, the grassy wind, and Han Yan's blank expression.

The wind swayed the tree, and a figure slowly appeared under the shade of the tree.Just separated by a circle of fences, Han Yan and Qi Si looked at each other in the moonlight.

When Xiaoyuan left, Han Yanniang cried so much that she almost passed out, blaming Han Yan for being useless, and letting such a good woman like Xiaoyuan go away for nothing.Han Yanpai said: "What are you talking about? What a beautiful girl, do you really want to delay others?"

Han Yanniang wiped her tears and said: "No, I just feel uncomfortable. You said that Ayan...why did he insist on following the fourth master? You said that you have been back for almost a year, and you are married, and you have returned, you Let our left relatives and neighbors think of us?"

Han Yan's father had a weird idea, but he didn't dare to say it out, he just avoided it and said lightly: "It's not like you don't know who fourth master is. He wants Ayan to go back. Does Ayan have a choice? Isn't it right for our son to do this?" For us! Thinking about the past few years, several other families have shared labor numbers, but ours does not have one, and our son and daughter are all well, do you think this is all for nothing?"

Han Yanniang stopped talking, and took a long time to let out a long sigh.

On the day Han Yan returned to the Qi family compound, Xiaoyuan also left Yuanmaotun.Before leaving, Qisi gave her a large sum of money, but Xiaoyuan dared not accept it.Qi Si said: "You can take it if I give it to you. You have been with me for more than ten years, and you deserve this."

Xiao Yuan took the money and kowtowed to Qi Si.

"Thank you fourth master."

Qi Si said: "Everything is packed? Let Sun Tong take you to the train station after packing, and remember to send a letter when you get there." Xiaoyuan said: "Young servants will." After speaking, he looked at Qi Si After a glance, after all, he couldn't say the words to wish Qisi and Han Yan a happy relationship for a hundred years, so he took his luggage and left.

After Xiaoyuan left, Han Yan came out from the back room.

Qi Si said, "You really don't want to give it away?"

Han Yan shook his head and said, "Going there will only make her feel more uncomfortable."

Qi Si stopped asking.

For a while, both of them were silent.After all, there was a whole year between them, even if they stayed under the same roof again, they would inevitably feel a little strange.

Just as Qi Si was thinking of something to ask about Han Yan's family situation, his daughter Qi Jialin ran in like a gust of wind, shouting, "Uncle Han! You're back!"

As soon as Han Yan heard her voice, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Girls are a family, you can't run like a kid."

"Oh! I'm so happy." Qi Jialin pressed close to Han Yan, and then saw her father, and quickly added: "Father!"

Qi Si saw that he was having a private conversation with the older one and the younger one, so he stood up and left.

As soon as his father left, Qi Jialin grabbed Han Yan's hand and said, "Uncle Han, when did you come back? Why didn't you come back to see me? I didn't know until I saw Miss Xiaoyuan on the way." where!"

Han Yan said: "I just came back today, and I was going to see you later! You are so clever, you came here by yourself." He compared Qi Jialin's size and said, "Oh, my eldest lady You've grown taller, and your hair has grown, ah, who braided it for you? It's so pretty."

"I made it up myself!" Qi Jialin said proudly.

Han Yan touched the red string on her braid, and said with a smile: "I can braid my own braid, tell me, what else did I learn when I was away?"

Qi Jialin frowned, glanced at her eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little downcast, and said, "Oh, don't talk about it, my mother makes me stay in the room every day and learn to be a female star, I am so annoying!"

Han Yan said: "Don't say that, you are 12 years old, and you will marry someone else in a few years. If you marry, you can't even become a female celebrity, and you will be scolded by your mother-in-law."

The little girl blushed twice and said, "I don't want to get married! I want to stay at home with you and my father."

Han Yan looked at her eyes that had gradually opened, and knew that some things must be explained clearly, so he hesitated for a while and asked, "Jialin, do you know who I am your father?"

"People in the house." The little girl said with a sure face, "My father told me."

Han Yan felt his ears burning. He didn't expect Qi Si to tell Qi Jialin about his identity, so he couldn't help scolding Qi Si in his heart for being shameless.

"You, don't you think it's strange?" Han Yan asked anxiously.

"Why?" Qi Jialin widened her eyes and said, "Where is it strange?"

"Uncle is a man, men and men cannot be together." Han Yan explained.

"Really? Why?" Qi Jialin asked again.

"Eh..." Han Yan was stopped by the question.To be honest, he himself is a little confused about this question, yes, why can't men be with men?Who made this rule?It doesn't seem to be there, and there are also a few poor people in the village who live together with each other, and everyone turns a blind eye.

Han Yan was confused, and was called out several times by Qi Jialin before he came back to his senses.

The little girl asked the question again, and Han Yan couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to throw the trouble at Qi Si, saying: "You should ask your father about this, Uncle Han doesn't understand either."

Qi Jialin said: "Okay, then I will ask my father later. Uncle Han, are you still going home?"

Han Yan smiled, patted the melon seeds on her head, and said, "I won't go back, I'll stay in the backyard."

The little girl cheered and said: "Great, I can go to you again in the future! You don't know, after you left, Miss Xiaoyuan also left, and my brother and I couldn't play together, I was so bored !"

Han Yan said: "You are an older sister, you should be more lenient to your younger brother."

Qi Jialin snorted, and said: "I don't want it, he has been spoiled by my mother, he will always bully others, if I don't let him he always wants to take advantage of me, if I really let him, I won't be bullied die?"

Han Yan shook his head helplessly, and said, "I think you are also spoiled by your father."

"No way!" The little girl shouted: "Since you came home, my father has a gloomy face every day and loses his temper at every turn. I dare not go to him, so my mother trapped me in the house as a maid Nah!"

Han Yan was a little stunned when he heard it, and felt a little sour, thinking why did he go so early, would he die if he made it clear earlier?Is it worth holding back?If he didn't happen to walk out of the house that night, wouldn't it be too late?

"Uncle Han, do you have any children?" Qi Jialin suddenly asked again.

"No, why do you ask that?" Han Yan asked strangely.

"Because my father said that you will come back when you have a child." The little girl said, "He said you went home to have a child."

Han Yan's face turned black when he heard it, what are these words!What do you mean I went home to have a baby?

"What nonsense! Men don't have children."

"I know, but your mother-in-law will give birth." Qi Jialin said, "My father said that when your mother-in-law gives birth to a son, he will pick you up."

Han Yan felt as if he had overturned the five-flavored bottle in his heart, soaked in all the ups and downs, and couldn't say anything.

Recently, the rumors have been a little tight, and the Japanese would go to the village to sweep from time to time, and took away several people who said they had joined the guerrillas from the village.At noon, Wang Yuandao called Qi Si over, and the two discussed forming a patrol team to be responsible for patrolling at night, and immediately arrest anyone suspicious.

Wang Yuandao had long heard the news that Han Yan had returned to the Qi family compound. Seeing that Qi Si was absent-minded, he sneered a few times in his heart, but on the surface he made a favor and asked Qi Si to go back first.

When Qi Si returned to the Qi family compound, it was already time to light the lights, and the three stars rose.His room was lit, and there were faint figures walking around.

Qi Si took two quick steps, pushed open the door, and saw Han Yan bent over spreading the mat, without even looking at him.

Qi Si closed the door and walked over, wrapping his arms around Han Yan's waist from behind.

It was midsummer night, both of them were wearing very thin clothes, and a steady stream of warmth came from each other.Qi Si buried his head on Han Yan's neck, took a deep breath, and gradually slipped his hands into Han Yan's clothes.

Han Yan pressed Qi Si's hand, turned around and looked at Qi Si, his eyes flickered under the light of the lights, so deep and so far away, with a hint of intoxication.

Qi Si lowered his head to kiss Han Yan's eyes, but he avoided him.Han Yan said: "Do you really think I will come back after we get married?"

Qi Si didn't answer this question, he said: "You have to have a child."

Han Yan choked up and said, "Then you shouldn't have looked for me in the first place."

"I want you." Qi Si said.

Han Yan raised his head, trying not to let the tears flow down.He shook off Qi Si's hand and said, "Rest, I'm too tired." He walked over and turned off the lights.

The room suddenly darkened.Before Han Yan could turn around, Qi Si hugged him and fell onto the kang.Han Yan was taken aback, before returning to Shen Qi Si's body, he pressed up and began to tear his clothes.

Han Yan slapped him without thinking.

A crisp sound resounded in the house.

Both of them were short of breath.Qi Si got off Han Yan and lay down on the other side of the kang.Han Yan's body trembled a little, and it took him a while to fasten his clothes and curl up to the other side.

No one spoke anymore, only a little heartbroken voice in the darkness.
