Although the life of the two was very poor, the husband and wife were very affectionate, and life gradually became better, but the good times did not last long, and soon an accident happened.
One day, Li Qiang went up the mountain early to chop wood, and he didn't go home until the evening, Zhang Hong felt very strange, usually her husband had already come back at this time, what happened today?
The more Zhang Hong thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he hurriedly called his neighbors near his house to help him go up the mountain to find it. Sure enough, everyone found Li Qiang dying under a cliff, and after seeing Li Qiang, Zhang Hong immediately pounced on her husband and held her husband in her arms.
Zhang Hong's tears couldn't stop dripping on her husband's face, Li Qiangqiang opened his eyes with spirit, touched his wife's face with his hand and said to Zhang Hong: "I can't stand you, you are still young, I will find a good family to marry after I die." After saying this, Li Qiang closed his eyes and lost his breath.
Zhang Hong hugged her husband and cried bitterly, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to comfort and help him up, but they didn't expect Zhang Hong to faint immediately due to excessive grief.
When Zhang Hong woke up the next day, he had already arrived at home, he opened his eyes and saw his elderly mother with red eyes, anxiously making a decoction for herself, seeing Zhang Hong wake up, the old lady hurriedly stepped forward to ask Zhang Hong if her body was okay.
Zhang Hong looked at her worried mother in front of her, but she couldn't even say a word, suddenly she hugged her mother, and the mother and daughter couldn't cry.
Later, with the help of neighbors, the mother and daughter buried Li Qiang, and after that, the mother and daughter depended on each other, and the days passed day by day.
Until one day, the local matchmaker came to the door and said that she had found a good relative for Zhang Hong, the other party's family conditions were solid and he was still an only child, and more importantly, the other party didn't care that Zhang Hong was a widow.
The matchmaker said that there is no better marriage in the world, but Zhang Hong shook her head again and again after hearing this, and told the matchmaker that she needed to think about it, and then she went into the back room.
Seeing this, the matchmaker had no choice but to leave in a huff, and her mother found Zhang Hong that night and asked her if she had anything on her mind and why she didn't agree to this good family business.
Zhang Hong said that she decided to mourn for her husband for a year, and her mother's health is not as good as day by day, and she has to provide for her mother to die, now is not the time to think about her own affairs, her mother can't stop falling tears after hearing this, she really has a good daughter-in-law.
The next day, the man came to the door in person, Zhang Hong had no choice but to inform the man of his thoughts, and the other party was also very moved after hearing it, saying that he could wait for her for a year.
It didn't take long for Zhang Hong's mother to pass away quietly in her sleep, and Zhang Hong lived alone at home alone, until one day the man came to the door again, and it turned out that the time of the year had come.
At this time, Zhang Hong no longer had any worries, she nodded and agreed to this family business, and the two parties agreed on a time. But the night before the wedding, Zhang Hong had a strange dream.
In the dream, Zhang Hong saw her deceased husband, only to see him standing not far from him in tatters, looking at himself with a smile, her husband told her that he knew Zhang Hong and found happiness again, and he was very grateful to her for waiting for this year.
He was going to give her a gift, and after saying this, her husband disappeared, and Zhang Hong also woke up from the dream, at this time the sky was already slightly bright, and she didn't know whether it was a dream just now, or her own imagination.
So she got up and unconsciously came to her husband's grave, and saw that it was already barren and barren, and she felt a trace of desolation in her heart, and when she was sweeping her husband's grave, she found something in the distance and shook her eyes.
She looked down and saw that it was a silver bracelet, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was a token of love between her and her husband, which had been lost since the day her husband had an accident, and she had not been able to find it for so many years, but she did not expect to find it here today.
