Double Bracelets

"Chanyue." Fu Yiheng called her, the voice was still the same, with innate magical power, "Long time no see." She still pretended nothing happened, and greeted herself with a smile.Wang Chanyue suddenly felt it was funny, her eyes turned red, and she laughed again, suffocating for a moment.

"...Yeah... Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you again in Chongqing." She tried her best to look calm and walked into the store with Fu Yiheng. "Oh, Jiang Xijie is really smart. Such a businessman must get rich in peacetime. I heard that this place used to be just a dilapidated shop, but now it has been renovated! It is said that the dishes are also good, and many dignitaries like it. What? It can't stop her from getting rich." "Where did you go?" Wang Chanyue waited patiently for her to finish speaking and asked, "After I left Taiyuan, I went to the place where I should go, and when the time came, I came to the place where I should come again. Here, She spread her hands, shook her head, and looked like "you see, I'm all right, I'm back to you properly".Wang Chanyue didn't want to look at her, and couldn't control herself, so she nodded with a wry smile, then closed her eyes.He took the initiative to divert the conversation and talked about all kinds of things in the hospital.

This is the rule of conversation between her and Fu Yiheng. Whenever Fu Yiheng starts to use those specious Zen verse-like metaphors, it means that she is unwilling to tell the real details, and it is best for Wang Chanyue not to ask.Wang Chanyue was surprised for a moment that she was still so docile, and then felt that it was strange, maybe I couldn't change anything in my life, and I wouldn't change, and I didn't want to change.

Fu Yiheng seemed to be distracted by some noise on the street, and turned his head away for a while.Wang Chanyue opened her eyes and saw her side face. In the night of sharing the bed together, the night of waking up under the moonlight, the night of wandering in Guanzhong, the cold night of Wuhan, and the night of fire in Chongqing, countless of her I have traced this outline for the first time.

She stretched out her left hand and tightly grasped Fu Yiheng's right hand. Fu Yiheng was stunned, and turned his head, staring at the other pair of tearful eyes with big innocent eyes; It's about to be written on the face: "Chanyue,"

"How are you?"

I tried to squeeze in something else to say, but nothing came out.

"It's fine. Don't worry. It's you, the surgery is very tiring, so don't be exhausted." Fu Yiheng saw her emotions, and his tone became gentle. "...come back...come to Chongqing...what are you going to do?" "I don't know yet. But I have a lot of invitations, and I still like to be a reporter."

Wang Chanyue wanted to ask her, can we start over?Now that you're back, can I continue to pursue you?But she just cried suddenly, tears like Jialing River.She thought that she had cried all the tears in her life long ago, so why is she now rich again.

Fu Yiheng took her hand with one hand and reached out to touch her cheek with the other to help her wipe away tears, "I told you to forget about me. Now I have to come to the appointment in full, and I have not broken my promise. Why are you still here?" What about breaking your promise? Beware of breaking your promise and getting fat."

Wang Chanyue let out a snort, but raised her face with a distorted and painful smile: "As you said... I have to forget you... What are you doing here again?"

Fu Yiheng didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile.If she said that she had no intention of seeing Chanyue again, nor did she miss the slightest bit, then Marx, Engels, Lenin, and herself would not believe it.But do you think she really wants to be long-term lovers with Chanyue?She came back with a mission, she still has things she has to do, and there may be choices she has to choose in the future.She knows that this is cruel to Chanyue, but she still hopes that Chanyue will marry someone else, have a happy family, and then put herself down.

She knew that she would never see the impossible, so she was going to try her luck and take the initiative to attack, but she didn't know that she hit it with one blow.Now Chanyue is crying, crying so much that her internal organs are also hurting.She remembered that night, when Chanyue followed her brother out of the Fu family's yard, under the starlight, Chanyue's eyes were full of heartbreaking sadness.

I gave you hope and crushed it; now that I'm in front of you again, I don't know what to do to make you give up on me, or to atone for my sins.

"Why are you... why are you always like this, you can always be like this...pretend that nothing happened, nothing happened, and you don't care about anything..." The man was amazed at how the gentle and quiet Miss Seven changed. It's like this, come over to check, Fu Yiheng waved his hand to show that it's all right, and let the buddy go back.Wang Chanyue cried so much that her entire upper body seemed to be convulsed.She wanted to complain to Fu Yiheng, how much pain the other party made her, how cold she felt, but she couldn't say a word.As soon as the scab was removed from the wound, it turned out that the new skin hadn't grown at all, and it was still a bloody forest.

After crying for a long time, she was tired and fell asleep.When she woke up, there was a piece of clothing on her body, which was Fu Yiheng's coat.It is dusk.And her two elder sisters were sitting opposite her, looking at her with concern.Fu Yiheng left a note for her, saying where he lived and could come to visit when he was free.

She studied the familiar handwriting carefully for a long time, and wanted to crumple the note and throw it out, but she was reluctant.Jiang Xijie and Wang Jiyue came to the store for dinner and arranged things, only to find that she had fallen asleep here.After asking, I realized that I met Fu Yiheng, what a coincidence that makes people want to be rude.Seeing that she was awake now, the three of them ate together without asking what happened.Wang Jiyue just held Jiang Xijie's arm and put her arms around her sister's shoulders, and the three walked slowly home.

Although Jiang Xijie is so busy that she can only hand over the restaurant business to her sisters-in-law at home, she really likes this "debut work" of her own business - this store was opened half a year ago after her family saw that the business was good , the original one was in the bustling area of ​​Nanjimen {33}, and made a lot of money. Seeing the profit, Mrs. Xu felt satisfied, and agreed with Jiang Xijie to open another one in the slums.When she came up with this idea, she saw this two-story building near Linjiangmen, and it couldn't be better—because it is cheaper than other places near Linjiangmen's "dung wharf"{34} and poor areas; but It is far away from the filth and stench, and there is no smell, and although the house is broken, the frame is not broken, and it can be used with a little repair; moreover, Linjiang Gate is the north gate of Chongqing, and the cliff below is easy to defend and difficult to attack: think about it , When the work started, she asked someone to visit the shop owner and bought it immediately. The price was not discussed.Because it is close to the slums, it satisfies her and her family's occasional desire to give to the poor, and the hired cooks and buddies are easy to come to work.Although the dining environment is not acceptable, she does not do business with people who pay attention to the environment.

Speaking of the cook, when she recruited people to open the Nanjimen restaurant, she originally wanted to find a cook who cooks Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine; lack of.The conditions are not too harsh, but it is not easy to find.After waiting for a few days, I also asked someone to ask if there was any cook who was displaced from a wealthy family.In the end, they couldn't find it, so in the end, they settled for a local Sichuanese chef, surnamed Guo, who came to the restaurant with his wife and children.Wait for business to improve before hiring another.Jiang Xijie thought it was okay, anyway, there are so many immigrants, so many people come here all day long, so I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find them.Moreover, the whole family was encouraged to help Master Guo improve his skills, and it seemed to have a bit of Jiangsu and Zhejiang atmosphere in recent days.As a result, within a month, the business exploded.Some people are too lazy to cook and just ask someone to serve it in the store. When they can't take it, they need help from the assistant.Of course, there was not enough manpower for a moment, so I urgently hired two more dexterous ladies and a strong and hardworking Guangdong boy from the local people in Chongqing.Then ask someone to renovate some houses in the backyard and make them into guest rooms, which are rented out, and let Mrs. Guo directly become a charter woman.When the Linjiangmen store was opened again, Jiang Xijie directly found a few friends of the young man from Guangdong to be his buddies, and the friends of Master Guo also came here especially.If it weren't for worrying that the bombing would come sooner or later, Jiang Xijie only thought that she would become a culinary tycoon in Chongqing.

Daughters-in-law are not often seen in the store.Xu Dexin was taken by her mother-in-law to attend various social occasions, and now she is also working in the childcare association. Rather, as the wife of a young general of the national army, she can't get away with it.Fu Yuan'e would occasionally show up at the two stores to check accounts and make arrangements. Only Fu Yuanying stayed at home.It's not because of her ability or anything else, she's been sick, and she's been in a bad mood, sweating and coughing, and her physique has always been poor, especially in summer to avoid the heat, so she can only stay at home to recuperate.

After confirming that she was not tuberculosis, she stayed at home happily.The three sisters-in-law and sisters look after the house together, and Zhao's mother's work is very easy.She even had time to say that her half-daughter’s daughter was reincarnated as a miser and landlord, and she only liked digging cellars—after Jiang Xijie finished digging the cellars, she sent someone to the store in Nanjimen to make the original cellar bigger. Make it firmer.Then tell Mrs. Guo that vegetables and food are usually placed, and if the bombing comes, they will hide in it.

No one else could see it, but only Wang Jiyue knew best what an anxious and flustered heart lay beneath her resolute, wise, calm exterior.

Winter has passed and spring has come, and it is the end of April again.Another April in Wang Chanyue's life, she looked at the flowers all over the mountains and plains with restlessness every day, and always followed the flowers to the outside of Fu's courtyard.She knew that Fu Yiheng still proudly chose to live on the second floor of the small courtyard, and she liked the feeling of looking out of the window.In order to take a few more glances and linger for a while, she would rather go out early and come home later every day.She didn't know if Fu Yiheng was at home or if she had seen her.Nor can she be Romeo climbing the ledge, even if it is indeed her Juliet.

She was afraid that if she walked in, all previous efforts to resist and heal would be in vain.Although she had to admit that seeing Fu Yiheng again here in Southwest Accompanying Capital made her find the meaning of everything in an instant, and she returned to the state where she wanted to do something, was awakened by a strong desire every day and was full of strength.The transparent film that wrapped her and isolated her from the world has disappeared, and she once again breathed the real air of her own life and touched her own reality.

But every time she thinks about what happened, she feels like her heart is about to break.Although the memories of the past, whether warm and sweet or cold and painful, were fished out by her and held in her hands, she didn't know how to choose.The original intention of wandering and wandering is to find a solution in the back and forth pace, but the result is only to indulge myself and consume my humble love and longing.

She really wanted to ask Jiang Xijie how she mustered up the courage to find her downstairs in her sister's dormitory.Maybe she is different from Jiang Xijie, both in her natural temperament and emotional position of offense and defense are completely different.The desperate situation is only her own, not even her Fu Yiheng's.

On May [-]rd, the weather was fine and hot, so she went to work as usual and had free consultations at the clinic.The day before yesterday, I heard from Fu Yuan'e that their little aunt was now working at a newspaper office in the city, and she was back to her old job.Wang Chanyue looked at the flow of people outside the health center, should we just keep seeing each other in the crowd and keep missing each other?

The sound of roaring and sharp tearing planes came suddenly, followed by deafening explosions, screams and shouts, and the crowd fled in one direction in an instant.Only then did she recover from her fugue,

It is bombing.It's finally here.

She took the hand of the patient aunt in front of her and hid inside, thinking to herself,

where are you?

The author has something to say:

{33} Chuanjiang chant said "Nanji Gate, a vegetable basket, pouring out and pouring in".

{34} Chuanjiang chant said "Linjiangmen, the dung dock, and the fertile fields have roots".This means: Linjiangmen was the largest dung wharf in the city at that time, and the fertilizer used for agricultural planting was landed at this wharf, or was transferred from here to the Jialing River and other tributaries of the Yangtze River.
