wife's choice

Chapter 446: The Promise of Youth!

Hearing the sound, I was as if struck by lightning, my whole body was stiff, and I froze in place, not daring to look back, my eyes trembling slightly.

Plop, plop, my heart was beating wildly, and it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat at any time!

That voice.
That sound brother
After so many years, she...she still calls me that!
My mother also heard the voice, and her old man also stared wide-eyed, looking behind me in disbelief.

"Brother, is that you?!"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

The voice is not as crisp as before, but it hits my heart hard.

rustling
There was a sound of brushing weeds behind me, coming towards me step by step, getting closer and closer.

My hand holding something is gradually trembling
Suddenly, a pretty face stretched out to my chest, looking at me from the side, a pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly.

An exclamation sounded.

"what!"

She shouted ecstatically: "Brother, it's really you, it's really you!"

Tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

His body, which was already inconvenient to move, still couldn't stop wanting to jump.

When I went back to my hometown, I had a premonition that I would meet her.

The last time I saw her at the village committee, I knew that I couldn't hide after all.

I never thought that I would meet her on my father's grave
After 20 years, when I saw her again in a real sense, I couldn't even recognize her.

Her hair was combed into a long braid, and she was not dressed like the village girl she was when I saw her last time at the village committee. She was holding a sickle for cutting weeds. The area around her father's grave was clean, obviously She had arrived early and was clearing the weeds.

The pink and tender face that once fascinated all the peers, the cheeks were always powdery all year round, but now it has become a little dark yellow.

The life in the village has left traces of time on her face, and the corners of her eyes and forehead are full of wrinkles when she smiles.

This is obviously dressed up deliberately, it is hard to imagine that she used to be a woman comparable to Tang Ziqing, but now
Only that sweet smile and eyes, I still vaguely remember.

I recalled the day when I dropped out of school and left the village. It was raining heavily, and she was holding an umbrella, still wet, and came to see me off.

Looking at her beautiful figure standing in the rain, I sat on the tractor and yelled at her: "Xiao Lan, you go back quickly, and I will marry you and go to the city when I earn enough money!"

That day, she also smiled like now, with tears in her eyes, and shouted: "Brother, I'll wait for you!"

However.
But I married Tang Ziqing in Jinlan, breaking my promise when I was young.

Memories flooded for a while, and I actually forgot to respond to Xiaolan.

She kept shaking her hand in front of my eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

The muscles on my face were already stiff, and I tried very hard to give her a smile in response, but I pulled the corners of my mouth to reveal a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Little, Xiaolan." I stuttered and shouted.

"Brother, why do you seem to be more stupid than before? Why is your hair white?" Xiao Lan said, putting her toes on her toes with difficulty, and reaching out to my head with her hands like when she was a child, wanting to touch my hair.

I instinctively backed away, rejected her, and told her to stand firm quickly.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"As you get older, you will definitely have gray hair. By the way, you, how did you know that this is my father's grave? No, how are you doing now?" I spoke incoherently.

"It's okay." Xiaolan still loves to smile, but this time the smile is not so sweet.

She turned her head and greeted her mother, who responded stiffly.

Finally, when I saw my daughter, the light in her eyes was something I had never seen before, and she asked tremblingly, "Brother, is this... your daughter?"

Before I could reply, she walked towards my daughter with a sickle in her hand and said, "What a beautiful little girl."

When I saw her stretching her hands towards her daughter, my pupils shrank suddenly, my scalp felt numb, and I stepped forward, picked up my daughter abruptly and took several steps back, away from Xiaolan, and raised my hand to prevent her from approaching her daughter .

After a while, my mother also walked towards me in fear, nervously checking if her daughter was okay.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiaolan asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, my daughter is a little shy." I responded awkwardly.

"Really? Alright." Xiaolan was a little depressed.

We were very understanding and did not continue to chat on this topic. My mother gave me a wink and asked me to put my daughter on the tricycle and stay away from Xiaolan as much as possible.

I also don't want the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman. For the safety of my daughter, I put her on the tricycle.

Xiaolan looked at me walking back, very disappointed and sad, which made me feel even more guilty, but I didn't dare to blog, so I could only silently say sorry in my heart!

When helping her father's grave to clean up the weeds, Xiao Lan worked very hard, not at all as if her legs were inconvenient, and she was more agile than a man like me.

I didn't work for long, Xiaolan urged me several times to stop doing it, I have been in the city for so many years, I have already become a city person, I am not used to these rural jobs, the more I help, the more I help .

Even her mother was pushed aside by her to rest, as long as she worked alone.

Embarrassed, I went to the side to light a cigarette, and watched Xiaolan work hard to clean up the weeds on my father's grave
After worshiping my father, I found out that Xiao Lan came early in the morning. Originally, she wanted to go to my house to call our mother and son, but she also knew that I hadn’t gone back for many years. She used to visit my house every New Year’s Eve , Did I come back, but she didn't go to see it this year.

She has persisted for more than ten years in a row, and I admire her very much. It would be very rare for me to persist for five or six years, let alone more than ten years.

On the way, I was riding a tricycle, and my mother sat behind her. The mother kept holding her daughter tightly and looked at Xiaolan warily.

Xiaolan has been actively chatting with us all the time, asking me about things in the city, and seems to be full of yearning for the city.

Finally, Youyou sighed.

"Brother, tell me, if I went to the city with you back then, how good would it be?"

Both my mother and I were embarrassed, and neither of us took up the topic.

Although I haven't been to her house for 20 years, I can still find the way to her house proficiently.

When it was about to arrive, Xiaolan suddenly stopped me.

"Brother, I, I don't live here now." Xiaolan said falteringly.

"Then where do you live?" I was confused.

"I live at the end of the village."

"Why do you live there?"

"I am married"
