Thousands of years

Chapter 106 Youth in Kyushu

"Shouyun?"

"Well, ma'am... I'm late."

There are no superfluous words, but it is a heart that both of them can understand - it is already the greatest luck to see this side in this life.

Today's He Qing'an has grown up, she is not the little girl who would complain about Ning Shouyun's failure to keep her promise in front of her elder sister, but only watched her sister and brother-in-law's reunion and hid her face.

"It said in the newspaper that you donated the Piro in your hand to resume weaving in the machine workshop?"

"Half a horse." He Qinglian has been working hard for many years, and he is indeed a little old, and his speech is a little weak, "You left soon, and I sold more than ten meters."

"Okay, okay..." After decades of not seeing each other, Ning Shouyun had many things he wanted to tell his wife, and even more so, how long he had been brewing before meeting her.

But when Ning Shouyun really stood in front of He Qinglian, all the worry and love turned into a sentence of "I'm back".

The youth is full of enthusiasm to serve the country, and he will return to his hometown after thousands of miles.Ning Shouyun didn't dare to ask his wife how the past few years have been. The couple of children are still alive. In the former's heart, he is already satisfied to see him once in his lifetime.

Knowing that the latter had nothing to do, Ning Shouyun still got He Qingan's response of shaking his head and then waving his hands in hesitation.If there is a way, I think the latter has already tried it...

At first, He Qing'an thought that her sister was running away from something, escaping the years of separation, missing the time when the family was right... Later, He Qing'an began to worry about her sister's health.

"Well, at that time, foreign exchange was earned, and textiles and daily necessities were sold abroad, not to mention anything else... After all, it provided a certain amount of financial support for the country's subsequent development."

"Sister would never want you to blame yourself like this..." As soon as these words came out, He Qing'an also knew that he was helpless, but he still had to follow his own words, for fear of irritating Ning Shouyun again.

Looking back at his wife, He Qinglian, there was a bit of sadness in his eyes. After all, Ning Shouyun still didn't have the ability to hide his emotions in front of his closest relatives.

The sacrifice and contribution for the family and the country in the war years are also indispensable in the peace time.The only difference may be just the difference in the way of expression...

"Even when I see An Hua and An Xia, I always think about some old things in the past. During this time, I don't even ask about the recent things." He Qing'an is worried about the situation of the elder sister, but she doesn't want to worry about the elder sister and her two children. Worrying about home, worrying about work, and worrying about my sister's body, now that I finally got Ning Shouyun to confide in, I can't stop thinking about it.

"Why have I slept for so long?" Ning Shouyun could only hide his face silently on the flower bed beside him, but he didn't expect He Qinglian to wake up at this time, "Are you...Qing'an?"

"You also know that even if Elder Sister went there by herself, it would be impossible for these two children to have an accident."

The setting sun reflected the distant mountains red and scattered people's shadows, but He Qinglian was still asleep. Ning Shouyun couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with Qinglian, has she been so sleepy lately?"

It's just that Ning Shouyun couldn't think of it, how could he forget even his closest relatives because of his injury?In vain, let his wife lead the big family and everyone in the machine shop to work hard to make a living.

Having said that, He Qing'an was worried that his brother-in-law who had just met her elder sister would panic, so she hurriedly added a sentence that she didn't know whether to explain or add to the confusion: "If this is really dementia, I'm afraid that my elder sister will kill us all by then. Forget, just remember what happened many years ago..."

If there is no accident, Ning Shouyun is now doing the same thing as Fan Jin who was in the middle school, one sad and one happy, explaining that the phlegm has fascinated the mind, and it is impossible to recover for a while.

"Obviously I saw Hang Luo in the mouth of my niece, and I thought of her. Why?"

"If I were stupid, I wouldn't donate the Luo in my hand so that the machine shop can use it to restore...the country and the people, I know all about it, how could there be any health problems?"

He Qing'an didn't need to say, Ning Shouyun also knew what kind of temper his wife had.As long as it is something that has made up its mind, even if others say it is broken, it will not be shaken in the slightest, so it is natural to blame yourself while worrying.

"You're right." He Qing Anwu said, "Sister, she never blamed you."

"An Xia said, maybe it's the Alzheimer's disease that the West is talking about." Taking advantage of his sister's awakening, He Qing'an told Ning Shouyun the possibility that he least expected to become a reality, "That's the old man's disease." A kind of dementia that my ancestors talked about."

"Yes, why not?"

"Ning Shouyun?"

"Have you been to the hospital?" Ning Shouyun realized that his previous sentence was out of date, so he hurriedly added, "Did the doctor say anything about it?"

"Your mother, she should be able to figure it out tonight." After telling the story, He Zhenhua's mood is very excited now, "If she can't figure it out, she has been a teacher for so many years for nothing!"

Speaking of this matter, even He Qing'an also finds it strange that her elder sister's memory is getting worse and worse, she always looks in the mirror alone and recites things from a long time ago, and she loves to sleep more and more, half of the day spent in a dream.

He Zhenhua's story is obviously finished, but the truth that he wants to tell An Ji as a grandfather, and even the strength and persistence he wants to send to An Ji, is just the beginning.

"What's more, sister still remembers now, even if sister doesn't remember, we can remind sister to remember us over and over again, right?" He Qingan was trying to persuade his brother-in-law Ning Shouyun, and he was also trying to persuade himself The heart that does not come down, "If we forget for a day, we will tell her about it for a day."

In that era, countless young people rushed to the front line of defending their families and the country for their families, and many families did not even leave a single descendant.Ning Shouyun also knew that there was nothing wrong with their choice, but when it came to himself, he was indeed not worthy of his wife at all.

"Besides, my sister doesn't think it's an important matter. Going to the hospital will affect my life with An Hua and An Xia."

"And Hang Luo must have his own value for being able to stay from the time of his ancestors to the present." The purpose of being a grandfather is very clear now, and he supports An Ji's choice, and hopes that the latter will persist, "Now that you have this Think about inheriting, grandpa hopes you will persevere."

"Where can I take her to the hospital..." Forbearance's sigh couldn't cover He Qinglian's snoring, the little girl was really helpless, "If I tell her to go to the hospital, she will think that something happened to me Big sickness."

"Does Madam blame me for forgetting what happened in the early years? Is God also blaming me for not being able to do Madam, so he punishes me like this?"

"Where is my dementia? It's just that sometimes I forget something..."

"Qing'an, what are you doing? How did you make yourself so old?"

"Calm down, so my sister will see it when she wakes up." Today's He Qing'an is no longer the little girl who can't control her emotions. She understands that there are many things in this world that ordinary people can't control.

"However, for thousands of years, dynasties have changed, aesthetic changes, and economic development... people in the past have paid too much."

"Have you taken her to see the doctor?"

"Why did you come back? Didn't you go... um? Why did I know you? Master said that a boy from the Ning family wanted to go on a blind date with me."

"It's not easy to preserve those looms and crafts after years of wars and chaos, and I don't know how many people made sacrifices afterwards, so that you can still see this Hangluo today, and it is only at the end of the last century that we can have this Work, the country can rely on this to earn income!"

"How long are Hua'er and Xia'er?" Ning Shouyun asked sullenly, "Are they... still here?"

He Qing'an was no longer the ignorant and reckless girl she was when she was a child. Seeing Ning Shouyun's entanglement in her heart, the two of them just sat there with He Qinglian who hadn't woken up.

"Recently, my sister is always sleepy and always misses you." Thinking of the hardships of his sister and brother-in-law over the years, He Qing'an didn't want to cause troubles with the two of them anymore, and the words he said inevitably became a bit evasive, "I think I miss you for a long time Now, every day, I will always talk about this past thing."

"Obviously I remembered it, I just remembered it...Why? Is it because these years have been too hard, and she doesn't want me to blame myself?"

Tiny whimpers followed He Qingan's words, and Ning Shouyun, who hadn't seen his wife for decades and endured the excitement without shedding tears, was finally broken by He Qingan's unintentional words to the last barrier in his heart.

Seeing that his wife had become like this, Ning Shouyun was really scared, afraid that He Qinglian would kick him out of the house one day because he forgot himself—Ning Shouyun couldn't help looking at He Qingan with a little more help.

Ning Shouyun couldn't control himself for a while, not to mention controlling his tears, but these sad words only flowed out of his mouth, and they couldn't be controlled at all.

"This kind of disease, if we use the method of our ancestors, I'm afraid it can't be cured."

The three of them walked back and forth like this until He Qinglian was so tired that he fell asleep and helped the former to sit aside, then the younger sister said: "Sister's memory is getting worse and worse these years. Time will always miss you..."

Ning Shouyun knew that He Qinglian was really ill, maybe it was really the Alzheimer's disease that the younger sister mentioned just now—but what did it matter, after so many years, how could he let his wife really forget himself?

Everything has two sides, pros and cons, nothing is absolutely good or bad, An Ji has always known this.

My elder sister said so, could it be that she heard the conversation between herself and Ning Shouyun?He Qing'an's eyes flickered, she was talking bad things behind her sister's back!

"If we forget for a month, we will talk to her for a month... As long as we don't forget her and don't find her annoying, even if she really forgets us in this life, we can make her remember again and again, right? Is it?"

"Even though my sister and I have worked hard these years, we have lived a stable life in the rear. If it weren't for you to fight against the invaders, where would we be today?"

"It's just a joke, why are you still serious with me?" He Qinglian seemed to really not know how worried his state just now was. At this time, not only could he laugh, but he also wanted to tease his husband and younger sister. , "When a person is old, is his personality not allowed to change?"

"Okay, okay, don't look at me with that look." He Qinglian was sleeping soundly just now, of course he didn't hear it, but the attitude of the younger sister and the same pair of children in the past has already made the former see the clue, "You are always in the morning Tell me in secret that I'm demented."

"An Hua and An Xia have stable jobs now, and they both have their own families. They are planning to have children...by then you will have grandchildren."

Just now when He Qinglian's voice was heard, Ning Shouyun showed his face buried in his hands in a daze, who would have asked the former to read it together.

In the eyes of the older generation, there may be regrets, why not make another choice.But in fact, when they see their descendants and the future of society, everything is still worth it!
"The reason why your mother doesn't want you to get in touch with Hang Luo should be directly related to me." How could He Zhenhua not know his own daughter's temper, and also know why his granddaughter is restrained.

"You..." How could He Qing'an fail to realize that the words just now had irritated her brother-in-law?But in the end, I was at a loss for words, and I didn't know how to comfort the latter's emotions.

"You too, why do you let her mess around?" Sure enough, what Qing'an said, as a sister now has a problem with her memory, she just pretends that she is still living in the era of wars and wars decades ago, "No, you are ?”

"It's my fault. I'm sorry for Qinglian. If I had listened to my parents back then, maybe I wouldn't have made my wife so hard." Hearing He Qingan's words, Ning Shouyun couldn't help but blame himself.

"Hmm..." Ning Shouyun felt relieved, "Everything is fine!"

Facing He Qing'an who is so reasonable now, Ning Shouyun was stunned for a moment, and slightly pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond.Then he lowered his eyes again and remained silent.

Whether it's grandpa's layoff or the relatively cheap sale of foreign exchange-earning products, some people say it's the tears of the times, but An Ji doesn't think so.

"Why are you upset?" Before Ning Shouyun could think of how to respond to his wife's words, He Qinglian said with a smile, "Do you always think I'm stupid? How could I not know? You, me, and Qing'an are all old! "

"As for the last hurdles in her heart, I will go and talk to her, grandpa." Turning his head to meet his granddaughter's eyes, He Zhenhua sighed softly, "So, the choice is yours."

"If you want to do it yourself, the whole family will stand behind you and support you. If you want to give up, we will naturally advise you, don't feel too much guilt..."

He Zhenhua stood up and covered the curtain carefully, then turned to look at his granddaughter An Ji: "You are still young, you can do whatever you want. In the future, if you do well... Maybe these old things can break new ground under the hands of you young people!"
