the knife of love

Chapter 359 Extra Story: The Talking Star

Tang Jingcheng gave birth at the end of the year, and the delivery was normal. The amniotic fluid broke first, and the amniotic fluid broke just at night.

Almost everyone in Guan Zhai was dispatched, panicked, Guan Lue carried her down from the third floor, and ran across the living room and yard.

On the way to the hospital, the driver was driving, and Guan Lue sat in the back seat holding Tang Jingcheng. He was probably also stunned by so much amniotic fluid, his hands, pants and seat were all sticky water stains.

"Tang Jingcheng, hold on!"

Tang Jingcheng hugged his stomach, speechless.

What is she going to support?
If the amniotic water breaks, it means that she is about to give birth. Since she is about to give birth, what else does she need to support?Are you holding back the child?

"Guan Lue, can you calm down?" Tang Jingcheng was actually the calmest one, pinching his fingers halfway in Guan Lue's arms: "Anyway, you are also someone who is used to big scenes!"

Guan slightly smiled bitterly: "This is different!"

This is the first time in his life. After tonight, he will officially become a father. Before he met Tang Jingcheng, he couldn't even think about the title "father".

Tang Jingcheng's labor pains came very quickly. Half an hour after being pushed into the hospital, intermittent labor pains began, and soon the intervals became shorter and shorter.

People who have given birth can probably feel that feeling, 15 seconds of pain, that is hell, 15 seconds of subsidence, that is heaven, Tang Jingcheng shuttled back and forth between this heaven and hell, experiencing the pain and hardship of childbirth , and happiness.

Guan Lue stayed by her side the whole time.

When Tang Jingcheng was not in pain, he would support him to walk back and forth in the corridors and wards, and when the labor pains struck, he would curl up on his body or lie on the bed to support him.

This stubborn girl, even the midwifery nurse next to her said she had never seen her like this.

That night, there was a pregnant woman next door who was about to give birth, and she yelled at her throat almost every half a minute, and her voice became hoarse after she yelled, and people felt panic when they heard it, but Tang Jingcheng didn't make a sound at all.

It was really painful, at most the breathing was a little heavier, and the strength of pinching the back of the hand was a little bit harder. She bit her own finger, and the finger was bleeding from the bite, but she just didn't want to say a word.

Midwives like this kind of mother the most. They are not noisy or squeamish. When there is no pain, they walk and squat or lie there to conserve energy. When it hurts, they endure it silently and breathe evenly.

"Mr. Guan, your wife is very strong. It is rare to see a mother who is as tolerant as her now."

Guan Lue could only smile wryly.

This girl can really bear it. She didn't make a sound when the bullet shot through her shoulder blade, she didn't make a sound when her nails were peeled off, and now she doesn't make a sound when she gives birth to a child?
After Tang Jingcheng's labor pain passed, Guan Lue squatted on the side of the bed and held her hand. It can be seen that the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat. In fact, at this time, he still wished that Tang Jingcheng could pester him and shout like other mothers. pain.

"If you really can't bear it, wouldn't it be better to make some noise?"

Tang Jingcheng rolled his eyes over it.

"Is it helpful to make a sound?"

Shouting at the top of your voice is useless except for wasting your strength, so it's better to save your strength and save it for a while.

"I'm so lazy, I don't do useless work!"

"..."

Tang Jingcheng was pushed into the delivery room when it reached the fourth finger. They had already discussed whether Guan Lue should follow in during the delivery. After Tang Jingcheng's serious consideration and research, the final decision was Don't let Guan slightly follow in.

"It's not good for men to see blood often!" This was the reason she gave, and it was clearly an excuse, but she refused, and Guan Lue could only respect her decision.

After Tang Jingcheng was pushed in, the door of the delivery room was locked from the inside, and Guan Lue was left in the aisle outside. From time to time, there were sharp calls from the delivery room next to him, but the door where Tang Jingcheng was dumbfounded could not be heard. to any sound.

At this time, he especially hated Tang Jingcheng's stubborn temper, at least yelled a few times to make him feel better, but after a full hour, after she was pushed in, there was no more news.

Guan Lue was pacing back and forth in the aisle like a headless eagle, while Ya Lao squatted aside, holding his breath and holding his face.

Fortunately, Ning Bo still had some ideas, so he followed Guan Lue, who kept wandering around, to persuade him.

"Master Ninth, put your heart in your stomach, Miss Tang is auspicious, I am sure mother and child are safe!"

"Now that medicine is so advanced, even if there is a small accident, nothing will happen!"

"It's only been an hour since I went in. It's probably still early. Would you like to find a place to sit first?"

But how could Guan Lue listen to these things at that time, he had a violent temper and was impatient, not to mention that he didn't know what was going on inside at all outside the door, so he stayed outside for more than an hour. During this time, Guan Lue almost It was a matter of seconds.

He never knew that time would pass so slowly, and the long night seemed to be cursed, and he was unwilling to wake up for a long time.

The light in the corridor made people panic, Guan Lue smoked out the last half pack of cigarettes left on his body, and the door in front of him was still motionless.

At about four o'clock, the woman's last series of shrill screams came from the delivery room next door, and then the baby cried and gave birth...

The nurse quickly came out to announce the good news: "Boy, seven pounds and three taels!"

All the family members gathered around the door, excited for the arrival of this little life. About 10 minutes later, the mother and baby were also pushed out by the nurse, and all the family members gathered around.

Guan Lue sat on a chair, watching coldly the lively family in the delivery room next to them, surrounded by a trolley bed, and walked into the elevator.

The aisle was suddenly empty and quiet, not even the cries of the mothers could be heard.

The uneasiness all over Guan Lue's body began to rush to his forehead, and the squashed cigarette case in his hand was already stained with sweat, and he just stayed like this for more than half an hour.

Unable to take it anymore, Guan Yue went to knock on the door, but there was no one to answer him, and he was about to kick the door, Guan Yue was held back by Ning Bo.

"Young Master Ninth, calm down, you don't give birth so fast. I remember that when the third wife gave birth to Axi, she stayed in it for a whole day and night."

"One day and one night?" It would be better to kill him directly.

"If Tang Jingcheng has to stay in there for a day and a night, Yala!" He pulled Yala, who was also a little nervous beside him, to his face, "Go and tell the doctor, if you don't have a baby, just cut it off!"

"..."

"Master Ninth, this...isn't appropriate!"

"What's wrong? The child is mine, and the woman is mine, I can do whatever I want! She..." Before she could finish speaking, the door of the delivery room in front of her suddenly opened, and a nurse's head poked out from inside.

"Who knocked on the door just now?"

Yaba: "..."

Ning Bo: "..."

Guan slightly squeezed to the front, and put his fingers in the crack of the door: "Me! Can I go in?"

"No!" The nurse's face was sweating, and she pushed Guan slightly squeezed into the crack of the door, "Family members should wait at the door, it's going well inside, the parturient is in good spirits, she has ten fingers, she should... "

"Strong, good, that's it... one more time, yes! Exhale, exhale..."

There is another door behind the nurse, Guan Lue can vaguely hear the midwife's cry from inside through the crack of the door.

Guan Lue was very anxious.

"Let me in!"

"No, the hospital has regulations!"

Ning Bo also held Guan Lue behind him: "Master Ninth, calm down!"

How can I tell him to calm down?

"Yaba!" He yelled, Yaba came closer, just about to speak, only heard a baby crying from inside, the voice was sharp and clear, piercing the darkness before dawn.

"It's born, it's born!" Ning Bo was the first to call out.

Yaba was also very excited, the nurse glanced at the already sluggish man in front of him, and took his hand away: "Did you hear that? Wait behind the door first, the child and the mother will be pushed out soon."

Then he closed the door without hesitation, and the door leaf slapped Guan Lue's face with a gust of wind, his body swayed unconsciously, and the baby's crying could no longer be heard in his ears.Is it hallucination?Or was the world cut off the thread just a few seconds ago?

Guan was a little dazed, and turned around: "Uncle Ning, did you give birth?"

Ning Bo smiled, and let go of Guan Lu's arm: "It's a baby, Master Ninth, it's a baby!" The old man's voice was also very excited.

Yaba is even more exaggerated, standing next to him and crying, sometimes I really wonder if the child's emotional cells are too developed, you say that a big man who is about [-] big and [-] thick will cry when he has nothing to do, cry when he is happy, cry when he is sad, just like tears Rivalry.

Soon the door in front of Guan Lue opened again, and it was still the same nurse.

Ning Bo pulled Guan Lue aside.

The nurse looked at him and announced the good news: "You are a daughter, the mother and daughter are safe and healthy!"

Guan Lue slammed his back against the wall behind him, and his knees were about to go limp.

It really happened, daughter, he actually became a father just like that.

"Master Ninth..."

"Ninth Brother!"

"Congratulations!"

The corner of Guan Lue's lips raised, and he raised his hand and rubbed his stiff cheeks vigorously.

Then I waited another 10 minutes, a long 10 minutes.

The nurse pushed Tang Jingcheng and the child out together, and Guan Lue rushed up immediately. When he saw the person on the bed, his face was pale, and his neck and hair were covered with sweat.

"Thank you!" Guan Lue brushed away the wet hair stuck to Tang Jingcheng's forehead, leaned over and kissed her, and held her fingers tightly.

Tang Jingcheng couldn't hold her eyelids due to physical exhaustion, she squinted her eyes and laughed: "It's a girl!"

"Yeah." Guan slightly glanced at the ball of pink meat lying on the small bed next to him.

"Good girl!"

Because Tang Jingcheng had a natural delivery, she stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged. Ning Bo had already arranged a team of people in the house to take care of her confinement.

In the second week after being discharged from the hospital, Yu Huanxi and Lao Ding went to see her in the closed house and brought many gifts.

"Tsk tsk... I really saw the ostentation of a big man's woman confinement!"

There are bodyguards inside and outside the closed house, and all the things sent to Tang Jingcheng's bedroom have to be double-checked by the bodyguards and Ning Bo, and the food has to be inspected by Ning Bo before it can enter Tang Jingcheng's mouth.

Tang Jingcheng was also a little helpless: "He is exaggerating!"

"Not exaggerating, not exaggerating at all!" Yu Huanxi is now completely on Guan Lue's side, "You have a different status now, and you have given birth to a daughter for Guan Jiu, who knows if someone outside is trying to trick you, so you should be more cautious it is good!"

Tang Jingcheng could only shrug her shoulders, she chose the path herself, otherwise what else could happen.

Lao Ding seemed to like children very much, and he was always standing by the cradle, but the bigger things kept falling asleep, and he couldn't wake them up.

"Very beautiful, looks like Miss Tang."

Tang Jingcheng was rather proud: "That's natural, like Guan Lue, it's over."

"It's not as bad as you said, Guan Jiu looks pretty good, but her skin is a little darker!" Yu Huanxi spoke for Guan Lue again, this woman is really realistic, because Jin Sheng and Lao Ding have cooperated twice , she has brought the power of grass on the wall to the extreme.

"Hey, is Guan Jiu holding the baby at home?" Yu Huanxi gossiped.

Tang Jingcheng shook his head: "I don't hug much."

"Is he busy?"

"No." Since Tang Jingcheng became pregnant, he spent more time in the house, "It's not busy, but this girl doesn't want him to hug her!"

"...How is it possible, do you know how to recognize people at such a young age?"

"Well, he cried as soon as he was hugged, maybe because of the smell on his body."

Guan Lue smells of smoke all year round, and babies have a very sensitive sense of smell, so sometimes Guan Lue needs to take a bath and change into clean clothes if he wants to hug her, and then put his arms around Tang Jingcheng and rub some milk fragrance on her body, otherwise the girl Don't buy it.

In his own words: "This girl is a villain, and she has the same virtue as you!"

Su Jue came to see Tang Jingcheng when she was about to leave her confinement.

Half a year had passed since that meeting. Su Jue had just returned from a business trip to Myanmar. She was thinner and darker. The corners of her eyes were stained with the vicissitudes of time, but she stopped there. , the coldness and aura that settled on his body have become more intense.

Tang Jingcheng knew that he was no longer the Su Jue she had just met back then, and now he no longer needed to rely on anyone, forbear and compromise, the whole of Su Fan belonged to him.

He finally stood at the highest point he once dreamed of, but probably only he himself knows what the scenery of that highest point is.

Tang Jingcheng opened the whole set of gold ornaments that Su Jue gave to the baby. Su Fan's new Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren series was heavy and jeweled, and it was a great gift.

"Boss Su is getting more and more generous!" He teased him when he came up.

Su Jue smiled wryly, and looked at Tang Jingcheng who was sitting on the tatami. The woman who had given birth had her long hair tied behind her head. She was wearing a grass-green knitted dress, and her charm seemed to be more full.

"You've already become a mother, why don't you understand the seriousness of what you say?"

Tang Jingcheng scoffed, and closed the box containing gold ornaments: "Who cares? You know that's not what I want!"

"Then what do you want?"

"Will you give me whatever I want?"

"Almost, as long as it's within my ability!"

"Then I will..."

"Wait!" Su Jue interrupted Tang Jingcheng, "Only that thing is not allowed!"

"Why not? That was originally my thing!"

Su Jue rubbed his forehead with his hands: "I know, but just let me be so attractive for once."

He met 20-year-old Tang Jingcheng when he was in his 19s, slightly earlier than Guan, and not much later than Qiu Qiguan, but he didn't fight at that time.

"I didn't fight back then, so I took such a thing from you, and I won't give it back to you!"

Just think of him as a thought for himself, at least it means that he also admired and fell in love with him.

Tang Jingcheng glared at him: "Smelly shameless!"

"Thank you!"

"Beasts!"

"Ah."

"Beasts are better!"

"Praise!"

"You..." Tang Jingcheng opened his eyes wide in anger, "I really don't know what kind of woman will accept you in the future!"

Su Jue laughed: "Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows?"

Guan Lue asked Tang Jingcheng to name the girl.

Tang Jingcheng had a cancer attack and thought for a long time to tell Guan Lue the result.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Well, the baby name has already been thought of."

"what is it call?"

"Nella!"

"..." Guan shook slightly, but he knew why Tang Jingcheng chose this name, and he didn't object, and asked again, "What about the scientific name?"

"Scientific name?" She bit her finger and shrugged, "I haven't figured it out yet!"

"..."

"Anyway, it's still early to register, let me think about it again!"

So the girl's scientific name has not come out for a long time.

When little Nila was full moon, Guan Lue didn't do anything big, and only invited a few tables of acquaintances to dinner at the General's Mansion.

Both he and Tang Jingcheng are people who don't like excitement and are extremely low-key, not to mention in Guan Lue's capacity, the less people know about getting married and having children, the better.

Because Tang Jingcheng insisted on breastfeeding, the baby slept with her at night, and Guan Lue set up a sofa bed next to her big bed.

After taking a bath, Guan Lue came out of the bathroom, and saw Tang Jingcheng leaning on top of the girl with her buttocks pouted.

"What are you doing?"

Tang Jingcheng quickly made a "hush" gesture: "The girl is asleep!"

In the end, she buried her head down and kissed little Nila's pink face twice, and then squeezed her fleshy little fingers reluctantly.

Guan Lue: "..."

He felt that since the girl was born, he had become a light bulb. The whole house was surrounded by little Nila. He had no time to be alone with Tang Jingcheng. Even if there were only three of them in the room like now, she would Sticking to little Nila, it almost doesn't exist at all.

Guan Lue panicked, wiped his hair with a towel and climbed onto the big bed.

"Tang Jingcheng..."

Tang Jingcheng immediately turned around and stood between him and Nila: "What are you doing? Go down!"

"..."

"You smell like smoke all over your body, the girl should wake up after smelling it for a while!"

Damn, when his daughter is a cat, with such a good nose?
Guan slightly gritted his teeth, endured it, and stretched out his hand to grab Tang Jingcheng's shoulder: "It's rare that she went to bed so early today, we..." He said that his fingers had already penetrated along Tang Jingcheng's collar.

Tang Jingcheng patted it away, and glared at him: "Don't even think about it, get out of bed!"

Guan slightly gritted his gums, Tang Jingcheng pushed him: "If you don't go away, you will move to sleep next door from tomorrow!"

Okay, she is amazing at having children, Guan slightly swallowed a breath, grinned and got out of bed.

He went to the dressing room and pulled out a T-shirt to put on, opened the door and went out, and came in a few minutes later, Tang Jingcheng had already laid down with his arms around Nila, and he went over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Get up, there is something to do!"

Tang Jingcheng turned over and saw Guan Lue standing in front of the bed holding a stack of things.

"what?"

"It's nothing, just sign it!"

As soon as Tang Jingcheng heard the signature, he immediately sat up from the bed, took the stack of papers from Guan Lue's hand, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes became cold.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to transfer something to your name!"

"What do you call turning something?"

Tang Jingcheng holds a land deed of more than ten acres in his hand. The two shops and one house are all real estate.

"Tell me, what do you mean?"

Guan Lue sat on the edge of the bed, and handed the pen in his hand to Tang Jingcheng: "It's nothing interesting, don't think about it, I just want to give you and the child a guarantee!"

He didn't explain in depth, and he didn't need to explain, they knew each other well.

Although Jiurongtai has been bleaching for the past few years, the roots are black, and some things are difficult to wash off once they are stained. What's more, he is sitting in a high position, and there are so many people under him, it is difficult to guarantee that all of them have no dissatisfaction.

In the past, he could not care about it, anyway, he was alone, and he had no worries about coming and going, but not now, he has women and children, and he does not allow any accidents in their lives, so he has to make plans for them early.

Now transfer part of the real estate to Tang Jingcheng's name first, and one day even if something happens to him, he can ensure that his women and children can live the rest of their lives without worrying about food and clothing.

"Sign it, I can ask the lawyer to do it quickly after signing it!"

Tang Jingcheng was stunned for a while, and finally took the pen from Guan Lue's hand, bit the tip of the pen in her mouth, swished dozens of papers, and sat on the bed to sign one by one.

There was a dead silence in the room, only the sound of pages turning could be heard.

After signing, she threw the stack of papers to Guan Lue, and teased bitterly: "Sure enough, the mother is more expensive than the child. You were so stingy before, but now that you gave birth to Nila, you actually gave me thousands of dollars all at once." Wan’s property, if I give you another son, are you going to transfer the entire property of Jiurongtai to my name?”

Guan smiled slightly, and threw the stack of papers on the bedside table.

"Well, maybe, why don't you try again?" After speaking, he jumped onto the bed, pinched Tang Jingcheng's ankles and pulled her under him. As a result, half of his pants were taken off, and Nila next to him Just "Wow-" cried out.

Tang Jingcheng kicked the switch slightly, turned over and went to coax the child!
Guan Lue waited by the side for a few minutes, and little Nila cried more and more. The servant who was sleeping downstairs to take care of Nila immediately ran up when he heard the noise, and knocked on the door outside.

"Ma'am, do you need help?"

Hold!There is no stopping!
Guan Lue took off his pajama pants and put them on again, got out of bed and opened the door to go out.

Tang Jingcheng coaxed him on the bed and called him: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the bathroom next door and take another shower!"

"..."

Guan Lue survived the winter in such a "dire situation". After a hundred days, Nila grew even more lovely, with snow-white skin and a pair of round eyes that are particularly attractive.

Four months after Nila, Tang Jingcheng began to prepare to reopen Qiu Qiguan's studio.

For this matter, she went to find Qiu Yueyi once. Qiu Yueyi still lived alone in that small apartment. Her hair was all white, but her body was quite strong.

Basically no longer working, living a leisurely life like other old people who are almost 70 years old.

I woke up in the morning and went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables. For a few catties of discounted eggs, I made an appointment with my neighbors to wait at the supermarket door early in the morning. He chatted with people in the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool, and traveled twice a year with his peers in the circle in autumn and spring.

Qiu Yueyi is probably used to loneliness. Her husband died when she was young, and her son died when she was old. Fortunately, she has a good attitude.

That time Tang Jingcheng made an appointment with her at a teahouse near the community, Qiu Yueyi arrived first, and when Tang Jingcheng entered, she was boiling water to make tea.

The bubble is Pu'er.

"I remember you used to like drinking this tea!"

It turned out that the old lady had always remembered that one sentence almost made Tang Jingcheng cry, and she quickly snatched the water bottle: "Mom...I'll do it!"

The cry of "Mom" stunned Qiu Yueyi, the hot water in the water cup spilled out and burned her hands, she didn't realize it, but Tang Jingcheng was terrified.

"Is it burnt?" She took out a tissue and handed it over.

Qiu Yueyi stood in front of her with a dull expression: "What did you call me just now?"

Tang Jingcheng choked up suddenly.

She was used to calling mom before.

"Sorry, I..." Tang Jingcheng was a little at a loss, "Should I change my words?"

Qiu Yueyi patted her hand: "It's okay, as long as you don't mind!"

"Why would I mind?" She didn't even have time to feel guilty.

Qiu Yueyi smiled wryly: "Then there is no need to change your words. You and Qi Guan are not divorced. If nothing happened to Qi Guan, you should still be my daughter-in-law."

"En!" Tang Jingcheng held back his tears and nodded.

"sit!"

"it is good!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who used to be cold-faced when they met each other, were able to sit together and chat peacefully after going through so many things.

Tang Jingcheng proposed that she wanted to reopen the studio, and continued under the name of Qiu Qiguan. Qiu Yueyi was very supportive and gave her some better suggestions, and also said that she could help in the future. After all, she is in the industry. After so many years, he can be regarded as a senior with profound qualifications, and his connections must be better than Tang Jingcheng's.

Before leaving, Qiu Yueyi handed Tang Jingcheng a box.

"It's for you, it's my birthday gift for the child!"

"what?"

"open to take a look!"

Tang Jingcheng brought the box, and a pair of jade bracelets lay inside!
"It's too expensive, I can't take it!" She wanted to return the bracelet, but Qiu Yueyi blocked it with her hand.

"Accept it. This pair of bracelets was given to me by Qiguan's grandma. It should have been given to you long ago!" It's just that Qiu Yueyi really looked down on Tang Jingcheng back then, "It's useless to stay with me now, isn't it?" Can I still bring it into the coffin? I might as well give it to you, as a thank you for the postcard you sent me from Myanmar last year!"

Tang Jingcheng was so sad, he closed the box containing the bracelet and held it in his arms: "Thank you!"

"You don't have to thank me, once I thank you, I'll see you later, this is what I wanted to give you!"

In June, Qiu Qiguan's studio reopened, and the interior decoration and furnishings basically remained unchanged. Tang Jingcheng just asked someone to clean it up again, and bought a few pots of green plants and bonsai to move in.

She also asked someone to build a small cubicle of about [-] square meters on the first floor as her own work room, while Qiu Qiguan's office on the second floor was kept as it was, and nothing was moved, as if he was still by her side.

When Yunling's summer is approaching, Yala is getting married.

This big boy who blushed when he was teased by Tang Jingcheng was going to marry a wife. Tang Jingcheng couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

Yaba's wedding is going back to his hometown, and Guan Lue and Tang Jingcheng are invited to attend.

At that time, Nila was already half a year old, and Tang Jingcheng was weaned because of busy work in the studio, so Yala invited her and agreed.

Guan Lue and Tang Jingcheng arrived in Baoshan the night before Yaba's wedding, and took a car from Baoshan to the stockade where Yaba's family was located early the next morning.

The village is hidden in the dense forests between Tengchong and Kachin State. For hundreds of years, this ancient ethnic minority has been adjacent to the mountains, wandering on the border between China and Myanmar, but living a peaceful and simple life.

Because there is still a long way from Baoshan to the house of the Lisu people, and the traffic is inconvenient, Tang Jingcheng and Guan Lue arrived at the village at noon and missed the lively scene of seeing off and welcoming relatives in the morning, but later The ceremony and wedding banquet are the highlight.

According to the marriage customs of the Lisu people, the newcomer needs to pay homage to the hall, and there are specific regulations on the worship hall.

The newlyweds need to kneel on the straw mat, and Abamo holds up the wine to pray for auspicious words of blessing.The newlyweds drink, and then distribute the cooked lamb liver to the guests present.

Tang Jingcheng and Guan Lue stood among the guests, watching Yala, who was dressed in traditional Lisu costumes, take the sheep's head and legs from the shrine to report to the family god.

At that moment, time felt like a trance.

Tang Jingcheng still remembers the first time she met Yaba. At that time, she even made fun of his name. She never thought that this shy, brave and upright boy was going to marry a wife.

After Yaba bowed to the family god, the worship ceremony was considered to be half completed. A couple of newlyweds had to enter the main room and take off the gowns they wore on their bodies, and then took off the bride’s hijab. free time.

Tang Jingcheng saw the "Aga" Yala called in the main room. He had a round face and was tall and strong. He was wearing a bright red embroidered linen skirt. His skin was thick and dark like most women in the mountains, but he had a pair of and The big eyes that are as pure and bright as Yaba are as clear as the water in the mountain stream.

Yaba said that his "Ajia" was very beautiful, and Tang Jingcheng also felt that it was true.

She leaned forward and gave the present to Ajia, which was a big boy carved with jade.

Ajia said thank you repeatedly, and said that the hand toy was carved beautifully, but her Mandarin was not standard, and it was even a bit difficult, so she just said a simple sentence.

Tang Jingcheng smiled and said: "You're welcome, the shells you made for me before are also very beautiful, but I also gave Yala a jade carving hand toy like this before, and it just happens to be a pair with you!"

Ajia was a little curious when he heard Tang Jingcheng say this, and asked Yala for the hand toy that Tang Jingcheng gave him before, but Yala blushed, and whispered in the Lisu dialect next to Ajia's ear One sentence, and Aga's face turned red after muttering.

The two of them are like a pair of red eggplants next to each other, so it seems that they are really a good match.

Seeing Tang Jingcheng teasing Yala again, Guan Lue tugged on her sleeve: "Anyway, someone else is getting married, you should stop when it is too late!"

"I know!" She quarreled, but she had a sense of proportion.

The wedding banquet officially starts at night, and all the people who come to the wedding will gather in the open space at the entrance of the bamboo building, set up a fire, serve various foods, entertain the guests with homemade wine, and all the men and women in the village are full of fire. Drink freely, sing and dance to your heart's content, all night long.

Tang Jingcheng and Guan Lue are also among them.

The two sat in front of the fire, freshly roasted rabbit meat and mussel meat were placed on the table, and above their heads were the high and distant starry sky in the deep mountains.

A couple of newlyweds are being embraced by the guests and singing love songs in duet. The melodious melody and unintelligible sentences are mixed with the tunes of harmonica and gourd sheng and spread out of the mountain.

Tang Jingcheng seemed fascinated by what she heard, Guan Lue squeezed her fingers lightly: "Go for a walk?"

"Ok!"

The two walked along the rows of bamboo buildings into the forest. The summer night was breezy, and frogs and birds were singing everywhere. The singing behind them seemed to be getting farther and farther away, until they reached the stream behind the bamboo buildings.

"Do I still owe you a wedding?"

Tang Jingcheng smiled: "What do you want to do?"

"what ever!"

"Then let's not do it!" She turned around and looked at the bright fire and the dark crowd in the distance, "We don't have as many relatives and friends as Yala, and those who make false statements don't need to come to bless us .”

She has never paid attention to any boring rituals, she never pretends when she wants it, and doesn't bother to bother when she doesn't want it!

What's more, she and Guan Lue are both fatherless and motherless.

"How about this……"

Tang Jingcheng grabbed Guan Lue's hand and turned around together.

"You look up..."

"Ah."

"See what?"

"Star…"

The sky is full of stars in the night, the shade of the trees is swaying, blowing and wrinkling the creek in front of you, and above the water is the reflection falling from the sky, twinkling like diamonds.

"It's not the stars, it's the people in this world who are willing to bless us!"

Their dead relatives, loved ones, those who owed them, and their enemies who have hurt them.

"Or just stay here, let's salute."

Tang Jingcheng clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

Guan Lue also followed her example.

Standing side by side, the two stand among the trees, beside the creek, with the sky above their heads, and they pay tribute to their dead relatives and loved ones.

I have gone through hardships to get here, and I can keep it forever with a little bow.

There is a kind of feeling in this world that starts from the most complicated and gradually becomes simple, so simple that no words are needed.

Tang Jingcheng and Guan Lue were like this, transcending life and death, and everything after that will come naturally.

They stood side by side under the stars.

Kowtow, Li Cheng!
The mountains are full of trees and birds are singing.

The starry sky is far away, the past is gone, and there is only the future from now on!
【postscript】

The negotiations between Qi Zheng and the Myanmar government were successful, and in March of the following year, the authorities resumed their AIDS and other medical aid projects in Kachin State, Shan State and Yangon.

At that time, Qiu Qiguan Studio ushered in the first jade carving exhibition since its reopening, and all the jade carving works of Tang Jingcheng during that half year were exhibited at the exhibition.

This is her first comeback in the six years since she stopped jade carving. The good news is that the jade carving exhibition was a big success and recognized by the industry.

After the exhibition, all the works were auctioned off, and the proceeds were allocated by Tang Jingcheng to the account of Doctors Without Borders in Myanmar to help local children and women suffering from AIDS and other infectious diseases.

Su Hongzhi's release on medical parole failed, and he died in prison the following year due to a heart problem.

In that year, Su Fan released a custom series, made of diamonds and platinum, and the whole set was designed with the shape of a star.

Su Jue personally named it "Talking Star".

The whole set is packaged in a black hard surface polished paper box, which is inlaid with blue velvet cloth. Star-shaped ornaments lie on the blue velvet cloth. When you open each box, you will see a paragraph hidden on the back of the box cover. Printed in very small hot silver script.

- "We-are-all-in-the-gutter, but-some-of-us-are-looking-at-the-stars! - Oscar-Wilde".

The translated meaning is:
"We are all trapped in the world, but there are always people looking up at the stars! -Oscar Wilde"
