grandfather's daughter-in-law

It was still that cold winter, and Wang Yugui sat on Yu Minxiu's bed with her hands clasped together—it was next to mine, but she hardly slept.Almost after Ding Jianjun and Xu Hong left, she started running around looking for scenes.She said that it is the end of the new year, if you walk around more often, you will definitely be able to find performances.The burden of the entire theater troupe and Ding's family fell on her shoulders, and she was just a 25-year-old girl.Later, Ding Jianye said that he was the only man in the Ding family, and he wanted to bravely shoulder the burden of the family and joined her team.

Wang Yugui said: "I know I've wronged you by bringing this situation up to you now, but..." She swallowed a mouthful of spit, didn't say but, but paused, and asked: "You and Jian Have you been dating for a year?"

She didn't say that I almost forgot that I was in love with Ding Jianye.To this day, I can't accurately define whether Ding Jianye and I have been in love. If his shallow jokes are considered to please me, and his letters that never ask for a reply are regarded as confessions, then maybe there has been.But my heart was empty, and I had long forgotten the content of those jokes and letters.

"Jianye is still young, immature, and not sensible enough. It's true. But fortunately, he values ​​feelings, is dedicated to feelings, and is willing to endure hardships. As the old saying goes, it's better to bully a white-headed man than to bully a poor boy. You... "Wang Yugui babbled and counted Ding Jianye's blessings. When he looked up, he saw me in a daze, and asked again: "Are you listening to me?"

I said I was listening.She nodded sadly.I saw white hair mixed with her silver-gray hair.It is said that the husband and wife are of the same heart. After Ding Yongchang became seriously ill and passed away, her cheeks were deeply sunken.She was wearing a polka-dot brown folio shirt, and her plump breasts could no longer support her plumpness.She grew old with Ding Yongchang and lost her spirit.

"Jianye told me before that he had a crush on you. At that time, I thought you were all young and not in a hurry, but I didn't expect..." Her throat choked, and tears rolled in her eyes again.She must have thought of Ding Yongchang.Which parents who love their children don't want to see their son marry a wife, have children, start a family and start a business, but Ding Yongchang will never have such an opportunity again.

"Auntie, don't be sad." I walked over, sat beside her, and stroked her back.

She sobbed and wiped away tears.Holding my hand with both hands, I couldn't help whirling, her tears remained on the back of my hand. "It's all over. Now," she took a deep breath, "I'm fulfilling his wish."

She seemed to be explaining her funeral, as if she had settled her worries, she could leave without any worries.But I don't love Ding Jianye, and those things that are on her mind have nothing to do with me.Both intolerance and sympathy are not enough to be a bargaining chip in marriage!So I said: "Auntie, the troupe's situation is bleak now. I don't want to think about the personal relationship between my children. I want to wait until the troupe gets over the difficulties."

Wang Yugui nodded, "That's right, but the problems have to be solved one by one. This is always a concern of mine. If I made a decision earlier, I have one less concern."

"You have someone better suited," I said.

She was taken aback, "Who?"

"Lin Jiaxi."

"Axi." She lowered her head and let go of my hand, both of which were glued to each other, as if considering the feasibility of this suggestion.I also confirmed that Lin Jiaxi is more suitable than me.But she thought it was Lin Jiaxi's reason for my refusal to agree to Ding Jianye, and asked again: "Did you listen to what others said? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Jianye is getting closer to Axi, and Jianye treats her as a younger sister . Jianye told me about this matter, but the troupe's business was delayed one after another."

I shook my head, not knowing how to explain everything to her.I bowed my head and remained silent.I remembered Lin Jiaxi's words that she would marry Ding Jianye, and that white foreign puppy was spinning around my feet together.It was a fine day, with purple and orange rays covering the entire sky and falling on her sweaty face, golden and soft, but after that day, I never saw the sunset again.

"Ah Xi is a good boy, but he is a bit powerful, and he is very happy, and he can do things well, but being a daughter-in-law is a bit..." She looked at me, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." I said.It means that I don't need to worry about Ding Jianye having an inappropriate relationship with Lin Jiaxi, she will not admit Lin Jiaxi as her daughter-in-law.I looked out through the cracks in the curtains, and the sky was as cold and gloomy as a curtain.I thought of Yu Minxiu, where she was staying tonight, whether she had eaten, whether she would be cold.She's running around in the cold wind and rain, and I'm sitting here with a warm blanket talking about other people's marriages, and I can't help her.

Wang Yugui smiled, and grabbed my hand again, "The first time I saw you, I felt that I hit it off with you. I once had a daughter..." When she said this, her throat choked again, and I heard her swallow hard Grief in throat, but I never heard she ever had a daughter.She held my hand tightly, "Maybe you were sent by heaven to make up for my regret."

My weakness became a virtue in her eyes.Cowardice can become simple, escape can be indifferent to the world, and pain can bring embrace.I thought of all the past, she carefully stuffed me with two large-sized bras; when Ding Jianye caught me stealing something, she protected me; she hugged me and said that the past was just an experience of life, not a burden; Ding Jianye was very drunk at her wedding, she took me back to the theater troupe, and then she arranged me to be with Ding Jianye, and made a kiss for him.It turned out to be just an illusion.Life gave me a beautiful illusion, which finally shattered.I suddenly couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.Maybe everyone has two unknown sides, or many sides, they do not exist at the same time, and we need many opportunities for a long time to be lucky enough to meet by chance.

"Jianye is a good boy." She emphasized again.

"Hmm." I don't think I can say anything more.

"Then you agreed?"

I didn't answer.

The wind was blowing outside the window, and the few gusts of wind squeezed in through the hole in the window made the curtains rattle.I heard from the dilapidated radio that a typhoon will hit Taiwan in the next few days. I don't know if it will affect the mountains, and I don't know if she will be able to come back before the typhoon.I got up and closed the window, and it began to drizzle again.Winter in the mountains is always like this, with continuous rain.After Ding Jianye and she both went to the scene, the raw role was replaced by a second-tier actor.The actor's wife was jealous, which caused Xiaosheng's performance to be restrained, and the emotional and eye contact between Shengdan was not in place, and the response has not been good.But Danjiao, Lin Jiaxi and I will always be alone.The idea of ​​reversing the roles jumped into my mind unexpectedly, which made me stand up and startled Wang Yugui.She asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Auntie, I want to be a pupil."

"what?"

"I want to be a niche."

The matter of proposing marriage finally fell through.
