Fall in a second

The afternoon sun shines on this quiet land, swallows are singing in the mountains and forests, and the gentle mountain wind blows the girl's hair. The girl turns her face and smiles brightly and brilliantly.

On this big rock on the top of the mountain behind the village, two girls of the same age are sitting. They often come here, skillfully pass through the obstacles in the mountains and forests, push aside the bushes, come here, and sit quietly.

After today, they probably won't have this kind of reunion time for a long time. Today is the last day of Luming's summer vacation. She has short shoulder-length hair, natural curly hair, and slightly yellowish hair color. She is wearing yellow Plaid skirt.

The girl sitting next to her is Yan Chu, her playmate who grew up in the same village, and also Lu Ming's best friend, she will tell her anything she wants.

"Ah Ming, you are leaving tomorrow, I really miss you." Yan Chu took her hand and shook it lightly, with reluctance in his eyes.

"It's okay, you can come to me after I settle down there." Lu Ming smiled brightly, as cheerful as ever.

Yan Chu pouted, and couldn't help asking: "After you go there, are you really going to marry that woman who is so much older than you?"

Lu Ming looked at the sky in the distance, without any fear or reluctance in her eyes, she said: "This is a marriage contract between our two families, and we must abide by it! That aunt's parents came to us when they were young. I did an investigation, because of an accident, I sacrificed my life to save my grandfather. Without them, there would be no my grandfather, and without my grandfather, there would be no our family. Therefore, my grandfather made a promise to their family, no matter whether the next generation of our Lu family is male or female. , will marry that aunt."

Yan Chu didn't quite understand, and asked again: "Then why is it not your uncle's son Lu Zhaoqin, but you? It would be appropriate to let him go alone, how can two women get married."

"Cousin and his family don't want to, saying that if that's the case, the relationship will be severed." Lu Ming murmured and lowered her head, she could even recall the words that my cousin joked with a group of people in the village a few days ago.

"If you want me to marry that old witch who is ten years older than me, it would be better than killing me."

"Huh? Why is he talking so badly? Anyway, his parents saved your life back then."

"That's the way he always talks." Lu Ming was already familiar with it.

"Ah... That's really wronged you, the burden of the family is entrusted to you like this." Yan Chu looked at her distressedly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming looked up with a bright smile, and immediately denied the other party's words: "I don't feel wronged, this is a promise that our family has to fulfill, and that aunt is also quite pitiful, losing her parents at such a young age."

"You are so kind, you won't be cheated in a big city, right? I'm really worried about you." Yan Chu raised his hand and pinched her face.

After the words fell, Lu Ming raised her arm, and said with a thicker voice: "Have you forgotten, I am very strong, no one can bully me."

Yan Chu was amused by her, and after laughing, he pursed his lips and said, "When you go there and meet new friends, don't forget me."

Lu Ming looked at her round face, stretched out her hands and squeezed it: "I don't know how to do it!"

After finishing speaking, she stood up, turned around and wanted to leave but reluctantly looked back at the scenery of the mountain.

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain, I should go home and pack my luggage." Lu Ming said.

Yan Chu stretched out a hand towards her naturally, and Lu Ming also stretched out his hand tacitly to pull her up.

Their ancestors have lived here for generations, surrounded by mountains and rivers, living and working in peace and contentment.

Since Lu Ming was sensible, her grandfather told her that there was an aunt waiting for her in the city, waiting for her to grow up and marry her. No matter how unwilling Lu Ming's parents were, no one in the family dared to disobey her grandfather until After her grandfather passed away a few years ago, she gradually heard different voices in her ears.

After parting from Yan Chu at the entrance of the village, when Lu Ming returned home, her mother called her aside for a conversation and said, "Mingming, study hard after you go out, you know?"

"What about the marriage?"

"Don't think about that. It's not important. Now is no longer the era of arranged marriages. You should pay attention to your love." The woman said earnestly, raising her hand to stroke her daughter's head.

"But grandpa! Grandpa made a promise, besides, this is grandpa's last wish!" Lu Ming argued logically that she was the one who loved her the most since she was a child, and of course Lu Ming listened to grandpa the most.

Ye Zhaoyue smiled softly and said, "Silly boy, of course your dad and I didn't mean to disobey your grandfather, we just wanted to say that after you go there, you can meet that aunt, but you don't have to get married You know, everything still depends on your own wishes."

Lu Ming nodded as if understanding.

At this moment, his father Lu Maochuan came out of the room, glanced at Ye Zhaoyue and said, "Okay, let the child go back to the house and pack up the things for going out tomorrow."

Not long after returning to the room, it seemed that someone had come to the house, and Lu Ming, who was packing her clothes, vaguely heard her uncle's voice.

"The old man is confused, don't you think so too? Are you really going to let Lu Ming find someone ten years older than her, or a girl?"

Lu Maochuan sighed helplessly and said: "This is my father's last wish. This is what the old man was thinking about when he was alive. As children, we must do our best, even if it may not be so satisfactory."

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoyue jokingly added: "Brother, if you disagree, you can let your son Lu Zhaoqin go."

"That's impossible, my son will stay at home to marry a wife and have grandchildren for me." Lu Maohua heard that it was 1 impossible.

"That's what we think. We don't force Mingming's marriage contract. She went to see the other party. If she doesn't like it, then it's over. There's no need to force it on the children." Lu Maochuan added.

The reason why they say this is that they are very clear in their hearts. How could the inexperienced Mingming fall in love with a woman who is ten years older than her and not in good health? It's something that can't happen even if you think about it, so you dare to do it with such determination.

Uncle Lu Maohua laughed after hearing this: "It scared me. I thought that if you and your siblings really wanted to do what the old man wanted, then Mingming's life would be ruined."

"Brother, do you want to stay and have a drink to roast chicken at home tonight?" Ye Zhaoyue invited.

"Okay, okay, that's the best, I'll call Zhaoqin over later." Lu Maohua laughed so hard that his eyes became slits.

In their mountains, the chickens are free-range chickens. They are native to the mountains and are very precious. Generally, a chicken is killed only for family affairs. Today's chicken can be regarded as a practice for my daughter when I go out tomorrow.

Lu Ming has grown up, but she has never experienced what it is like to be in love. She is a very principled person, and she thinks she has a marriage contract, so she will not have any thoughts about other people. When she was 15 years old, there was a neighbor The boy in the family pursued her and asked her to be his wife, but Lu Ming rejected him without hesitation, emphasizing that he was a married person.

Since that day, I don't know who the rumors started from. Someone always met and laughed at her for having a marriage contract with an old woman. Lu Ming didn't care, just be herself, she didn't care what others thought.

The luggage has been packed, and Lu Ming took out this yellowed old photo from the tape again. This is a girl who looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her name is Ji Youqing. Her marriage partner was her parents who went to the countryside. I brought it with me when I was dying, and gave it to my grandfather when he was dying.Lu Ming has never met the other party in person. Since she was a child, her grandfather gave her this photo, and she has kept it to this day.

Communication was poor in the past few years, and it was only in recent years that I reconnected with the other party's family. Regarding the marriage contract, the other party did not seem to give any advice.

Two days ago, Lu Ming's mother called there, and the other party said that they should meet first before making a decision.

No matter what, Lu Ming must go to see that woman and fulfill Grandpa's last wish.

City S, the largest port city in the country's financial center and economic center.

At this time, it was raining outside the window, and the room was dimly lit in broad daylight, but the light was still dim. A woman with long hair was sitting in front of the French window, quietly staring at the rain outside the French window in a daze.

"Dong dong dong."

Someone turned the doorknob and opened it, and a woman dressed in homely clothes came in. She looked at the woman sitting in front of the window and said, "That girl will be here tomorrow night, do you want to see her?" The person who spoke was Ji Youqing's sister , Ji Jingning, born in 80, is 7 years older than her. After her parents passed away unexpectedly, she took on the role of father and mother alone, and she and her sister depended on each other.

There was no unnecessary expression on Ji Youqing's face, on the contrary, her complexion became paler and paler under the rainy weather. She raised her hand and coughed twice and said: "I'm going to sleep at night, let's arrange for her to stay first, and let's talk about the meeting in the daytime."

"Okay." Ji Jingning nodded, "Leave these things to me to handle for you."

"Trouble you, sister." Ji Youqing's voice was not so forceful, and he looked sickly.

She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she can catch the cold with a little wind. Her room is always facing north, so that there is no need to turn on the air conditioner in the hot summer, and Ji Youqing can't blow the air conditioner.

"See what you're being polite to me. I'm your sister." Ji Jingning paused for a moment and couldn't help asking: "It's just that you really plan to fulfill the marriage promise made by your parents and marry a little girl?"

There was a helpless smile on Ji Youqing's pale face, her long brown hair casually hung on her chest, her eyelashes moved slightly, and she said casually: "Why, she is still young, she is not worth wasting time on someone like me .Some things can only be said clearly when we meet."

"You Qing, don't say that, you are only 33 years old, not 63 years old, don't be so early..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Youqing interrupted her, her voice was soft but with attitude: "I want to rest for a while, sister, go get busy."

Ji Jingning had no choice but to swallow the second half of the sentence, walked out of the room and closed the door lightly.
