Double Bracelets

There are four registered members in the family, and three who can stay at home, not counting the maid, she wants to go home.That's why the Spring Festival {1954} in 85 was a deserted one.Wang Jiyue arranged everything in advance, and prepared the dinner by herself. In order to add excitement, she simply invited a few shopkeepers and tenants she knew well to come to the Western-style building for the New Year's Eve dinner.I have never seen such a beautiful western-style building before, not to mention that the relationship between them is no longer the old style, rather they are partners without any personal attachment.

Therefore, Wang Jiyue always tried her best to handle the relationship between them well, have good friendship with others, and be generous to them, so that it can continue to be maintained.At least, she still has to take care of her younger sister, raise her nephew, and continue to search for Jiang Xijie's whereabouts, all of which cannot be rushed.

It's a pity that after the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone frolicked for a while and then dispersed.Wang Jiyue was left to accompany her nephew to set off firecrackers in the courtyard, and the big dog barked. Wang Chanyue sat alone in the living room and watched them.The firecrackers were crackling, although it was deserted, it was fun.It is said that there are only a few members of the Wang family, so how do you know it will end here today?She didn't have any news about her elder brother Hao Ning, even though she was her own brother, she could only treat him as dead.He also thought he was dead.

New Year's Eve, I think of my husband.I should have returned from London a month ago, why is there no news at all?I don't know where I was delayed on the road.The war has been over for so long, according to Fu Yuanheng, Europe is still not at peace.Last year, Fu Yuanheng arrived home on New Year's Eve and said that he was very sorry that he didn't have time to help his family prepare for the New Year, so he gave everyone a lot of gifts.When the two of them were alone at night, Wang Chanyue said that you don't have to do this, we are a family.Fu Yuanheng said, yes, a family.He now has very few relatives alive.Asked why Yuan Xing didn't come back together, he said Yuan Xing is busy too, I always hope that next year he can completely move to the United States, maybe I can help find Miss Jiang, right?

However, there was no news of Yuyan in Yichun. When she mentioned this to her sister, her sister said that don't worry, what should come will always come.

always come.Luck puts gifts last, but bad luck likes to knock on the door frequently.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, someone sent a telegram.It was Fu Yuanxing who sent it from the United States, saying that Fu Yuanheng had died in an air crash {86} on the plane returning from Rome to London.Because of the airline company {87}, he was contacted very late and learned of his brother's death.

Wang Jiyue was in her younger sister's room. When she heard the news, she felt that the sky had no eyes and that her fate was ill-fated, while Wang Chanyue spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately passed out.

When she woke up a few days later, facing her sister's worried and tired face, she asked her sister if Yuan Heng's body was found.Wang Jiyue said, it is said that there is no.She asked Yuan Xing what to do next, and Wang Jiyue told her exactly what to do.Then the doctor came for an examination and told Wang Jiyue seriously of her current condition, and suggested that she should go to Hong Kong for treatment, otherwise there would be no hope of recovery if she stayed in Penang.Of course, going to Hong Kong does not guarantee a cure.Wang Jiyue said she got it, and when she was having a hard time making a decision, she stretched out her pale hand to hold Wang Jiyue and said, "Sister, let's go back to Hong Kong."

Wang Jiyue nodded.Let's go back to Hong Kong, go back, go back to the place closest to our hometown that we can go back to.

He sold the property by accident, brought the ashes, and entrusted the widow's friend to rent a house in Hong Kong, found a hospital, and left a box of gold bars for the widow before leaving, thanking her for her help.When the weather was better in autumn, the three lonely people boarded the same boat again, took the same route, and returned to Hong Kong.On the boat, Wang Chanyue said to her sister: "Sister, when you arrive in Hong Kong, you should look for news about Sister Jiang. I don't care. I just stay in the hospital. I don't plan to leave Hong Kong alive." Wang Jiyue was about to Telling her not to be so pessimistic, she went on to say: "I know my own situation, and I may not live long. It's a pity that I have dragged others down for the rest of my life. Now that I can take this opportunity to let my sister return to Hong Kong, I feel that I still It's useful. If I can reunite my sister, you and sister Jiang, I will count it in this life..."

She could only sob in a low voice, unable to think of anything else to say.This life is by no means perfect, nor is it possible to rest in peace. It can only be regarded as witnessing the happiness of others, and it can be achieved in the end.

As soon as she arrived in Hong Kong, Wang Chanyue was sent to Queen Mary Hospital {88}.She persisted on the boat for a while, but she couldn't hold on anymore.Wang Jiyue explained to the hospital that she doesn't care about the cost, and it doesn't matter how much she spends. If she really can't be cured, she just wants to relieve the pain.As a result, in the blink of an eye, in February 1955, when it was the first anniversary of Fu Yuanheng's death, the hospital told her that the patient was really hopeless. Go home and wait for death slowly, take a shot of @钟, stop the pain, spend more time with your family, eat something good, and enjoy the last time.The doctor said this in front of Wang Chanyue, and Wang Chanyue also cooperated with the doctor—after all, she is also a doctor—to persuade her sister to be discharged from the hospital, and volunteered to take on the role of disciplining her nephew, so that her sister could solve the unsolved case of the year with peace of mind.

I'm really just waiting to die, so let me use my own death to fulfill your wish, okay?After I die, sister, you can take Wei Ran to the United States to find Sister Jiang, and don't drown this place for me anymore, that would be great.

Wang Chanyue was discharged from the hospital and still lives in the old tenement house in Sham Shui Po.He was sick at home every day, and when his nephew came back, he took on the responsibility of educating his nephew, and got along well with the hired maid, making the maid feel that although the boss was very sick, he was easy to get along with.

Wang Jiyue returned all her time to investigate where Jiang Xijie had gone.The first time she returned to Hong Kong, after she settled down with her family, she went back to Sham Shui Po to look for someone, but things turned out to be different, so she had to stop at the post office, and almost turned over the post office.The whole post office was afraid of her, so she went.Finally, in an old sack in the post office's unmanaged warehouse for many years, I found a pile of mail that had nowhere to be delivered due to various reasons.She didn't understand why Jiang Xijie's letter to her was here, with all addressees and no postage owed, but she was stranded here, a complete trick of fate.

In the letter, Jiang Xijie told her that they would leave Hong Kong immediately because of the unexplained pursuit of the underworld.This group of people must be colleagues from the national army, but for what purpose they chased and killed their family - they attacked Jiang Ye, Jiang Ying and herself, but fortunately they were not injured - unknown, I don't know where they offended them A group of guys who are about to set down roots in Hong Kong; anyway, for safety reasons, she must leave immediately; their expected address in the United States should be this, if they don't write back, then contact this person, this person knows them anyway whereabouts.

She ran as if seeing a divine manifestation, took the letter and sent two urgent telegrams, one to Jiang Xijie and one to the contact person.Thinking of this, no matter what, I can always receive it, right?The time to wait for a reply was only a few days, and even Wang Chanyue, who was seriously ill, could tease her and say, sister, don't worry, she is like an ant on a hot pot.In the end, the telegrams didn’t come, but three telegrams came. In the first one, Jiang Xijie said she was overjoyed and asked Wang Jiyue how she was doing; in the second one, Jiang Xijie said that she was in New York, everything was fine, everyone was fine, and she started working. In the third letter, she said that I had already left for Hong Kong, and I would arrive in Hong Kong in May at the earliest.I will go directly to your residence in Sham Shui Po to find you.

"It's really fast." After reading the telegram, Wang Chanyue looked at her sister again, then struggled to get up from the sick bed, and hugged her sister who was crying due to excitement. "That's nice, sister. That's nice."

Life always loves the twists and turns, she thought, but she didn't know whether the road would go up or down, flat or rough after the twists and turns.

It was night, Wang Jiyue returned to her room, opened the cloth bag under the lamp, and carefully swayed the broken jade bracelet. "The country is broken, mountains and rivers are here, and the city is full of spring vegetation. Tears are splashed when I feel the season, and I hate the birds." She murmured, and put the jade bracelet on her cheek, as if there was the body temperature of that person on it.

Over the years, I have kept all my fears, anxieties, and longings in my heart, collecting them like rainwater, because I believe that one day, I will see you again, and we will be reunited. I said I will come If you run to you, I will never break my promise.

From the first day of May, whenever someone knocked on the door, Wang Jiyue's heart beat faster.In the end, it wasn't always Jiang Xijie.She just felt like she was going crazy.Today is Jiang Xijie's birthday, and Wang Jiyue is still waiting anxiously.Thinking back to those years in Penang, every year on Jiang Xijie's birthday, she would always miss her deeply, cry again, and put some ice on her eyes so that people would not see that she had cried.

this year, this year,

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang, and she ran to open it.The door of the narrow apartment opened, and in front of him was a familiar person with only a little wrinkle. "Xijie..." Looking at this face, she felt a little strange, but after this second of strangeness, she seemed to have regained the excitement when she first met more than ten years ago.

"Jiyue..." Jiang Xijie threw the luggage in her hand on the ground—as if there was no gift inside—and hugged the person in front of her tightly.Wang Chanyue heard her sister's cry outside, came out to look, and saw that Jiang Xijie's appearance was still the same, her charm was still the same, she felt very satisfied and didn't want to disturb the two of them, so she lifted up the bead curtain and went back, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep in an instant .

The two hugging at the door finally let go, and Jiang Xijie held Wang Jiyue's face, not caring that she was crying too, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Wang Jiyue, "Don't cry, don't cry... It's a good thing, a good thing... I'm back, I'm back. Let's take Chanyue and Weiran with us and go back together, okay?" In fact, when she was leaving in the United States, she received a message from Fu Yuanxing, who had finally found her, learned of Fu Yuanheng's death, and learned a lot The matter of the Wang family in Penang.She knew that Chanyue was seriously ill, but her own shrapnel had been taken out, and she wanted to take Chanyue to the United States for treatment, anyway, how about a try?

When Wang Jiyue heard this, she felt even more sad, and couldn't say anything, so she could only cry and shake her head.Jiang Xijie had no choice but to comfort her first.After being calmed down, the two calmed down their emotions, and then went into the room to see Wang Chanyue.

Wang Chanyue kept her promise. After her sister reunited with her "brother-in-law", she completely relaxed, as if she felt that she could die. Two days after Jiang Xijie arrived, she started to have a high fever and fell into a coma for a long time.I asked the doctor to come to see her a few times, but they could only give her antipyretic injections to make her feel better. There was nothing to do but wait for death.Wang Jiyue felt uncomfortable, and Jiang Xijie came from a long way, although she was overjoyed, seeing Wang Chanyue's appearance of not having many days to come, she felt sad from it, and felt that her heart was broken piece by piece.She once thought that Wang Chanyue could find a lifelong sustenance in that love, and this life would not be in vain. Who would have thought that the world would change and everything would become like this.She didn't have any news about her own brother, so she was talking about Fu Yiheng in vain. She didn't know how that person lived, whether she regretted it, and if she knew what Chanyue had been like these years, would she feel sad.When Wang Chanyue was sane, she would talk to her, reminisce about the old days, and ask her about all the things when she left.

On June [-]th, Wang Chanyue was completely exhausted.At night, she was lying on the hospital bed with her sister "brother-in-law" beside the bed.She looked at the two people standing on both sides, "Sister..." "Yeah." "That's great." "Well." Wang Jiyue held her hand and put it on her cheek, "I'm dead... You guys just go to America." "Okay. We'll go." "On the boat..." "Yeah," "Scatter me in the sea..." "Okay."

She smiled, closed her eyes, her breathing became slow and heavy, and the calm completely disappeared.During this brief period of gradually losing her breath, she was not reduced to total darkness.In the rewinding of her memories, she saw a lot of the past, saw all the deceased relatives, but everyone waved goodbye to her, parents waved goodbye to her, Fu Yuanheng waved goodbye to her, third brother waved goodbye to her.A white light enveloped her, she chased the light to the end, and saw Fu Yiheng waiting for her there.

She thought that Fu Yiheng would also wave his hand goodbye to her, but Fu Yiheng didn't. He just invited her to walk into that beam of light together.She shouted silently, wait for me, wait for me, don't let me go this time.Speeding up the pace of nothingness, ran into the light.

And her body has closed her eyes, gradually becoming cold.Her two older sisters were holding her hands, crying uncontrollably.
