Sister and brother love outside marriage: ups and downs and entanglement

Chapter 224 [Ni Juan] Breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly

Washed away the lead, unloaded the prematurely tired body, enjoyed 5 years of comfortable and comfortable time, the endless blue sky, white clouds and green grass, the place where I used to end my life, I never thought that I would be reborn here .And I never thought that after 5 years, I would return to the secular world that I once hated so much.

Because from the moment I picked up the chalk, I told myself in my heart that I would stay here and teach this group of simple nomads and their innocent children everything I had learned before leaving university.I want to use the best side of my heart to teach them the scenery that cannot be seen on the grassland.

In fact, I did it. Before I left, Duoji had already received the admission letter from Kazi County Middle School. He was the only child on the grassland who could go to the county town to attend middle school.If it were in the past, his parents who were herdsmen would definitely not agree, because Dorje's departure would make the family's sheep lose the owner who took care of them.

But now his parents are full of pride, because a "teacher" like me who they don't understand the past came to the grassland.With a longing for the outside world and a longing for future life, they are actively exploring.

Brother Huo stayed with me in the grassland for 2 days, and didn't say a word about taking me away with him.As always, I took the children to class and ate Baijia rice with Brother Huo.

In the early morning of the third day, many vehicles and people came to the grassland. They were reporters from major media, as well as the leaders of the Education Bureau of Kazi County.

They occupied the place where I used to attend class, so I had to hide and wait and see.Dorji and other children also surrounded them, circling the reporter's camera as if they were watching something new, while the other herdsmen formed a group consciously, chattering about how they came here So many leaders?
The leader of the Education Bureau stood in the middle of the circle, smiled at Brother Huo beside me, and said a few concise words to the reporter's camera.It was only then that I realized that Brother Huo had already funded the establishment of a school on the grassland before he came, and the Education Bureau would send special teachers to teach.

In other words, from this moment on, this grassland has also been included in the scope of nine-year compulsory education.

I escaped the crowd and made my way back to the tent in silence before the camera was on me.Soon, Brother Huo also came in avoiding the crowd, looked at me kindly, "Let's go, you are no longer needed here."

I looked up for a moment, and understood all Brother Huo's intentions.But then I shook my head because I didn't know where I was going.

"Let's go, leave here, you can help more people."

Brother Huo's sincere words, I can't refuse.In front of him, his hair is already gray, and he is older than 5 years ago, but he is more like the shadow of my father who vaguely appeared in my childhood dream.

For this man who stood by my side from the time when I was the most downhearted and innocent, who accompanied me through all the things but I was still not at all tempted, I suddenly felt a little bit annoyed.If there is no relationship between him and my mother, will I fall in love with him because of his care?Will she marry him because he has not given up all these years?

Obviously, even after 5 years, I am much calmer than before, but I still can't let myself fall in love with him, and I can't let myself betray my heart.The more I have been hurt, the more I don't want to hurt others, just like Brother Huo now, I can't regard him as my future partner.

He means more to me than just words.

On the night I left, almost all the herdsmen entertained me with the best wine and food at home, and Dorji's family even killed a cow and a sheep.

Dorje stood in front of me with a large plate of beef and a leg of lamb, but he was no longer as distant as he was 5 years ago. He said in standard Mandarin: "Thank you, teacher."

I hugged Dorje and wept uncontrollably.

Tonight, I was drunk. For the first time in 5 years, I drank too much alcohol.

Brother Huo was also drunk, took me to sit on the grassland, and said with his tongue out: "Xiaojuan, think about it, how many people can stumble back to the original place after getting lost? Can you maintain yourself? How many people can find themselves again after losing themselves? How many people can break out of their cocoons and become butterflies after being bound by themselves? But I believe that you can.”

Brother Huo can always hit the nail on the head, a few dozen words are enough to sum up everything I have.

Until now, I have the feeling that Big Brother Huo has never left, and he understands everything I think.In fact, I have also thought a lot these days. I used to go forward bravely, why should I choose to escape now?Even if I have chosen a wrong path, why can't I start from scratch?

Therefore, I chose to go back with Brother Huo without hesitation.

However, Brother Huo has arranged far more than donating to the school.

The RV was parked outside the Red Hotel next to the Potala Palace. Big Brother Huo took my hand and got out of the car. A middle-aged woman who was about the same age as Big Brother Huo walked towards me. She had neat black hair and a blue and white porcelain pattern dress Dressed in cheongsams, they came to us step by step.Behind her, there is Qiu Xu.

Seeing Qiu Xu, I froze for a moment.Qiu Xu is a classmate of mine and Yin Zi's. I don't have a deep impression of him, because he transferred before graduation.

Before I could speak, Brother Huo let go of my hand and put his arm around the woman's shoulder, "Xiaojuan, this is Qiu Xu's mother."

I immediately understood what was going on, and breathed a sigh of relief, but I was sincerely happy for Brother Huo in my heart.After so many years, he was finally willing to smile and hug other people's shoulders, and his face was filled with relief and affection that he had never felt before.

During dinner, I seldom talked, mostly Qiu Xu and Brother Huo were talking.Qiu Xu's mother asked me a few words from time to time, and my language ability also shrank a lot, and I seemed a little at a loss.In fact, more importantly, I don't know what to call her.

Aunt?But now she is Brother Huo's girlfriend.

Miss Qiu?Not to mention, her son and I are classmates.

When the dinner was almost over, I suddenly felt that I had called Brother Huo wrong.From the very beginning, I positioned him as a big brother, but he is from my uncle's generation?Thinking this way, I feel a little confused, thinking that it is because of myself that I have disturbed many relationships.

I went to the top floor early after dinner, Brother Huo didn't ask me too much, and heard Qiu Xu's mother tell Zhuoma behind, don't let other guests come upstairs.

So, I sat on the roof of the top floor and stared at the vast night sky in a daze for a long time.

At the beginning of the night, people are already asleep.The silhouette of the opposite Potala Palace decorated with lights is not as majestic as in the daytime, but it is more quiet and peaceful.The distant snow-capped mountains flicker, and the moonlight shines on the top of the mountain, like a dream.

This is a scenery that cannot be seen on the grassland, but it is as peaceful as the night on the grassland, and I still enjoy it. It has been 5 years, and I have long been used to sitting in a quiet place at night in a daze, allowing myself to reach a state of emptiness, without thinking about anything.

The surrounding cold approached from time to time, I would occasionally shiver, but I was used to it.

I gradually fell in love with a person's life, adding clothes when I was cold, and eating when I was hungry, all by myself.Because I can't be sick, I will feel uncomfortable and vulnerable when I am sick, and no one can get close to my heart.

I got up and prepared to go downstairs to add clothes, when I turned around Qiu Xu stood behind me, as if standing for a long time.I sneezed, covered my mouth in embarrassment, and was still a little unfamiliar with him: "When did you come up?"

"Put it on, don't get cold." Qiu Xu put the clothes he had prepared on me, "Isn't it beautiful here?"

I nodded and answered the irrelevant question: "Where did you go after that?"

"It's here."

"You went to school here?"

"Yes." Qiu Xu casually sat up next to me, chatting with me like an old friend: "After my father passed away, my mother brought me here. When I first came here, I was very special. I don't like it, I think it's a remote place, and it's not angry at all. But over the years, I have gradually understood my mother and fell in love with this quiet and comfortable city. "

As Qiu Xu said, he opened a bottle of red wine, poured it into the goblet beside him and handed it to me: "Drink?"

I took the cup and nodded, "Is this made by your family?"

"Probably." Qiu Xu stammered, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and looked at the snow-capped mountain top in the distance with melancholy.

The only thing that hasn't changed in the past five years is my unique insight into people.With Qiu Xu's simple words, coupled with his hidden gaze, I clearly saw the sadness and secret behind this man, but I didn't want to break him easily.Instead, they went along with him in silence, each guarding the secrets in their hearts, and reminiscing alone.

10/10 update
I stayed in LS for two months, except that I didn't take classes for Duoji and the others, my other life was no different from my life in the grassland.Still living in a state of emptiness every day, thanks to the gratification that Brother Huo has reaped happiness.Occasionally, I would go around the Potala Palace alone during the day, buy a bottle of old yogurt at the foot of the mountain, or sit in the square and feed white pigeons.After dinner in the evening, I was still sitting on the top floor in a daze, and Qiu Xu would come up with red wine, and drink with me in a daze, without saying anything.

Gradually, I also got used to such tranquility.

One morning, Brother Huo suddenly knocked on the door of my room and said that he wanted to take me to a place.

Get in the car, set off, arrive at your destination.

In a forest on the outskirts of the city, in a neat row of houses, the sound of Lang Lang reading can be heard.

Brother Huo stopped the car, stood outside the house and said, "The children inside are all from remote grasslands and mountainous areas."

I was stunned: "Prairie? Didn't you go to school?"

"These children's hometowns are places where the Education Bureau can't approve the construction of schools, but they can't be kept out of school, right?" Brother Huo smiled, and took my hand into an office: "From now on, your work place It's here."

After holding back tears for more than ten days, Big Brother Huo even arranged my future together, but what surprised me even more was what he said next.

He said: "Xiaojuan, you are old enough to understand everything you should understand, right?"

I nodded: "Huo"

"Don't call me brother Huo." Brother Huo interrupted me: "remember what I said? I am willing to take care of you instead of your mother. "

"Then I."

"Call me godfather." Brother Huo lit a cigarette, like the first time we met, and didn't hand me another cigarette.

I am a little unaccustomed to the sudden change of title, and I am still embarrassed to call out.

Brother Huo smiled: "Tomorrow, Qiu Xu's mother and I are going abroad. If it wasn't for you, we would have left long ago."

"I wish you and your aunt happiness."

"But really?" Brother Huo stared at me playfully like an old child, and exhaled a circle of thick smoke.

"Sincere."

"But before I leave, I still want to arrange something." Brother Huo showed unprecedented firmness: "You have been with Qiu Xu for a month, and after I have been in touch with him for several years, I feel that he He is a reliable young man. In the past, I always wanted to let your temper go, and I would take care of you if anything happened. Later, I found that I was old and I couldn’t take it anymore. So this time You have to listen to me anyway."

I've never seen Big Brother Huo speak to me so resolutely. His firm gaze and tone made me dare not say a word.But still a little timidly asked him: "What do you mean?"

"Qiu Xu still has some things to deal with in the mainland. What your aunt means is that the Red Hotel will be left to you to take care of it. It will depend on your fate in the future."

Brother Huo always followed my inner feelings, and told me his and Qiu Xu's mother's thoughts to me in a commanding tone without compulsion.It's just that such an arrangement is obvious, they want me and Qiu Xu to go together.The Red Hotel was founded by Qiu Xu's mother. Since she is willing to let me take care of it, the thoughts in her heart are self-evident.

"Xiaojuan, think about it carefully." Brother Huo squeezed my shoulder heavily: "I also believe that Qiu Xu will not let you down."

Later, Brother Huo left, and he finally went to pursue his own happiness with peace of mind. I was relieved, but felt a lot disappointed in my heart.Brother Huo's departure means that from now on, I really have no relatives to accompany me.

Qiu Xu also left with Big Brother Huo.It's just that Brother Huo and the others are going abroad, while Qiu Xu is returning to City A.

But Qiu Xu didn't tell me what he was going to do, and I didn't ask.

I have returned to the state of living alone again, and I am used to it and have begun to enjoy this state. My daily life is the same, and I have an additional bond with the school.And the Red Hotel said that I will take care of it. In fact, there is already a complete set of management system for all things. I just need to hand over some daily routines with Dolma.

Qiu Xu's sudden return was unexpected to me, and the news he brought back surprised me even more.Still on the roof of the top floor, still holding a glass of red wine, Qiu Xu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Juan, I have finished all the things Uncle Huo entrusted to me."

"Huo Da. Oh no, what did your godfather entrust to you?"

"En." Qiu Xu held his wine glass and touched me lightly: "The legal person of Dynasty Group has been changed from Zuo Moran to you."

The wine glass in my hand shattered, and I broke out in a cold sweat: "What did you say?"

"Uncle Huo has been running on this matter for the past few years, and the court has officially pronounced it. There is also Qianxian Department Store. It originally belonged to you, and this is what the Pan family owes you."

I roughly understand what Brother Huo has been doing these years. While he didn't give up looking for me, he should still be in a lawsuit with Zuo Chongli.The agreements signed when he divorced Zuo Moran back then should be regarded as unequal treaties. After all, according to the facts, the Pan family should have far more assets than the villa in Qishan.

I was in the pose of holding a wine glass, but my hands were empty, and I said with a blank face, "Qiu Xu, let's get married."

"Okay, get married." Qiu Xu answered neatly, but without the slightest emotion.

So we got married, registered our marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau, flew to California, USA, had a meal with Brother Huo and Qiu Xu's mother, and the wedding was considered complete.They were both happier and more excited than we were in California.

Qiu Xu's mother said, "Kenan, is this the best?"

Brother Huo blushed and drank with Qiu Xu non-stop, yelling for us to call them parents instead.

Qiu Xu and I were still a little cautious, but we held wine glasses together and called their parents respectfully.

I don't understand why Qiu Xu agreed to marry me, after all these days after marriage, Qiu Xu and I have always treated each other with respect and never said a few words.

And I took the initiative to talk about getting married, but it was actually because I was moved by Brother Huo.He has been arranging for these years, connecting me to LS and getting along with him is also arranging for my future.He is old, I should let him rest assured, the people and things he has seen are all right, since he said Qiu Xu is good, why can't I marry?

There is no more love and affection in my life, the only thing left is Brother Huo's unspeakable emotion that surpasses love and affection.I'm married and stable, and Brother Huo is also at ease.He has been tied down by our mother and daughter for most of his life, and it is time for him to spend his happy old age safely.
