The husband dreamed and said: I am not ashamed
In a distant mountain village, there lives a woman named Xiufen. She is young and beautiful, hardworking and kind, and is a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the villagers. However, her husband, Cuong, has not been home for two years and is said to have gone to the far south to work in order to earn more money and give Xiufen a better life.
Cuong's departure makes Xiufen's life lonely and lonely. She spends her days doing housework alone, plowing the fields, and taking care of her elderly in-laws. Whenever night falls, Xiufen under the lonely lamp always misses her husband in the distance, and tears ripple.
In order to alleviate the loneliness in her heart, Xiufen decided to keep a dog as a companion. She picked out a little yellow dog at the bazaar, fluffy and very cute. Xiufen named it Xiao Huang, who was smart and clever, and soon became Xiufen's loyal companion.
Xiao Huang accompanied Xiufen for many days and nights. Whether it is the sunrise in the early morning or the sunset at dusk, Xiao Huang always stays by Xiufen's side every inch. It will help Xiufen with tools when she is working, and will snuggle up to her feet when she is tired, and use its warm body to dispel the cold in Xiufen's heart.
However, the peaceful life did not last long. One night, Xiufen had a strange dream. In the dream, she met her long-lost husband, Ah Keung. Keung looked tired and haggard, and he said to Xiufen, "Xiufen, you know what? I have suffered a lot outside, but for the sake of our family, I have to persevere. However, I heard that you have a dog and are still inseparable from it, you are not ashamed!"
Xiufen was awakened by Ah Qiang in her dream, and she sat on the bed, an inexplicable fear welled up in her heart. She didn't understand why Cuong would say such a thing, and she didn't understand why she was shameless when she had a dog.
The next day, Xiufen told the old people in the village about her dream last night. After hearing this, the old people shook their heads and sighed, saying that it might be that Ah Qiang encountered something unclean outside, so he would say such a thing. They suggested that Xiufen go to the temple to pray for a safe return and for her to be able to get rid of this strange dream.
Although Xiufen was apprehensive, she still decided to follow the advice of the old people. She went to the village temple and bowed down in front of the Buddha statue reverently, praying for Cuong's peace and her own happiness. After worshipping the Buddha, she decides to go to the village wizard to see if she can solve the mystery of this strange dream.
The shaman is a mysterious and ancient figure who is said to be able to understand the mysteries between heaven and earth. Xiufen arrives at the wizard's house in awe and tells him about her dreams and Cuong's strange words. After hearing this, the wizard frowned and pondered for a long time.
Finally, the wizard slowly spoke, "Xiufen, your dream is not groundless. Cuong might have really encountered something unclean outside, and his soul was infested to say something like that. And you have a dog as a companion, although it is to alleviate loneliness, but it does touch some taboos in some aspects. However, don't worry too much, I will do it for you to ward off evil spirits and keep you and Cuong safe. ”
Xiufen listened to the wizard's words, and her heart was both scared and grateful. She followed the instructions of the wizard, prepared some necessary items, and then, under the auspices of the wizard, performed a ritual to exorcise evil spirits. After the ceremony, Xiufen felt a warm current surging through her body, and the fear in her heart dissipated a lot.
However, it didn't end there. In the days that followed, Xiufen had several strange dreams one after another. In her dreams, she always saw Cuong appear in front of her with a haggard face and confused eyes, and kept repeating the phrase "shameless" in his mouth. Every time she woke up, Xiufen felt a flurry of heart palpitations and uneasiness.
She began to wonder if she had really done something wrong that would have made Cuong reproach her so much in his dream. She decides to send Huang away for the time being to see if she can appease Cuong's resentment. So, she found a reliable neighbor and entrusted Xiao Huang to his care.
Without Xiao Huang's company, Xiufen's life has become more lonely and lonely. She misses Cuong and Huang every day, looking forward to them returning to her as soon as possible. And that strange dream also hung over her heart like a shadow, making her unable to let go.
Just when Xiufen was feeling hopeless, she suddenly received a letter from Cuong from the south. In the letter, Cuong tells Xiufen that he has found a stable job and plans to return home to join her after a while. He also specifically mentioned that he did encounter some unpleasant things outside, but now it has been resolved, and he hopes Xiufen will not worry.
After seeing this letter, Xiufen's mood was too excited to express it in words. She finally waited for the news of Cuong's return, and he wrote a letter to comfort her. This made her feel extremely relieved and happy.
However, just as Xiufen was basking in joy, she suddenly realized a problem: if Cuong was really coming back, how would she deal with that strange dream and what Cuong said in the dream?
After listening to Xiufen's narration, the wizard pondered for a long time. Finally, he slowly spoke, "Xiufen, your dreams and Ah Qiang's words are actually a warning and an omen. Cuong did go through some unknown ordeal outside, and his soul was so disturbed that he would say something like that in his dreams. However, that doesn't mean you're at fault, and it doesn't mean you need to give up on Yellow. On the contrary, it is precisely a time to test your feelings as a couple. ”
Xiufen was confused, she didn't understand what the wizard's words meant. Seeing this, the wizard further explained: "Ah Qiang's words are actually reminding you that he is working hard outside, and I hope you can cherish and strengthen your relationship even more. And having a dog as a companion, although it is a bit unconventional, does not mean that it is shameless. In this era, we should be more open and inclusive, understanding and respecting everyone's choices. ”
After Xiufen heard this, her heart suddenly brightened. She understood what the wizard meant, and she understood the meaning behind Cuong's words. She decides not to dwell on that strange dream, but to wait more firmly for Cuong's return, while also taking good care of herself and Xiaohuang.
Time passed, and Xiufen's life returned to its former peace. She is busy in the fields every day, taking care of her in-laws and Xiao Huang. Although Cuong has not yet returned, she has already felt the beauty and hope of life.
Finally, one day, Cuong returned. He became more mature and steady, and also brought with him many Southern specialties and gifts. When he saw Xiufen, his eyes were full of love and gratitude. He hugged Xiufen tightly and said, "Xiufen, I'm back." Thank you for waiting for me and for taking care of our home. ”
Xiufen burst into tears when she heard Cuong's words. She hugged Cuong tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all her thoughts and worries over the past two years. Cuong also felt Xiufen's affection, and he gently patted Xiufen's back and comforted her.
At night, Xiufen and Cuong sat in the courtyard and admired the starry sky. Cuong tells Xiufen about his experience in the South and also mentions that strange dream. He said: "Xiufen, in fact, I have had a similar dream outside, dreaming that you have a dog as a companion. I was angry and felt like you shouldn't have done it. But now I understand that it was just the fear and insecurity in my heart. You didn't do anything wrong, but supported the family in your own way. ”
After hearing this, Xiufen was moved to tears. She finally understood the meaning behind Cuong's words, and felt Cuong's understanding and support for her. She held Cuong's hand tightly and said, "Cuong, thank you for understanding me. I will always support you and love you, no matter what difficulties you encounter. ”
From that day on, Xiufen and Cuong's relationship deepened. They work together, live together, and enjoy ordinary and happy days. And Xiao Huang also returned to Xiufen's side and became a member of their family.
This story teaches us that the relationship between husband and wife needs to be tested and sharpened to be stronger. In the face of difficulties and challenges, we should understand and support each other, instead of giving up and blaming each other easily. At the same time, we should also respect everyone's choices and lifestyles, and build a more harmonious society with tolerance and understanding. As time passed, Xiufen and Cuong's lives gradually got back on track. Cuong found a stable job in the village, where they worked together on the fields and took care of their elderly in-laws.
Huang has also become Xiufen's loyal companion again, and he always wags his tail happily and accompanies Xiufen and Cuong. Whether it's the sunrise in the early morning or the sunset at dusk, Xiao Huang is like a happy elf, bringing endless laughter and fun to the family.
However, just when Xiufen and Cuong thought that life would always be so peaceful, a sudden disaster shattered their peace.
It was a stormy night, thunder and lightning, and a howling wind. Xiufen and Cuong were comforting their in-laws who were scared by the thunder in the house when they suddenly heard a terrible dog barking. Their hearts tightened, and they immediately rushed out the door. I saw that Xiao Huang was struggling desperately, and it had a wire wrapped around its body, obviously struck by lightning.
Xiufen and Cuong rush forward desperately to save Xiao Huang. However, the power of the thunder and lightning was too strong for them to get close to at all. Just as they were in despair, Xiao Huang suddenly let out a terrible howl, and then fell to the ground, never moving again.
Xiufen and Cuong were grief-stricken, and they hugged Xiao Huang's corpse, tears pouring down their eyes. Xiao Huang has been with them for so long and has become an indispensable part of their lives. Its departure made them feel extremely sad and lost.
In the days that followed, both Xiufen and Cuong were basking in the pain of losing Xiao Huang. They would go to Xiao Huang's grave every day to pay respects, telling their thoughts and gratitude to him. And that strange dream seems to fade away with Xiao Huang's departure.
However, life is always full of surprises and twists. Just as Xiufen and Cuong are gradually coming out of the shadow of losing Xiao Huang, they unexpectedly discover a secret left by Xiao Huang.
One day, when Xiufen was sorting through Xiao Huang's belongings, she found a note hidden in Xiao Huang's collar. Curious, she opened the note and saw that it read: "Xiufen, Ah Qiang, thank you for taking care of me and accompanying me." In fact, I am a greyhound, and I chose to stay by your side because I felt your kindness and sincerity. Now I'm going to protect more people, and I hope you can always be happy. ”
After reading the note, Xiufen was speechless in surprise. She didn't expect Xiao Huang to be a greyhound, let alone that it would leave such a last word. She told Cuong the secret, and Cuong was equally shocked and moved.
They decided to keep this secret in their hearts as the most precious memory between them and Xiao Huang. At the same time, they also cherish each other's feelings and lives more, and face future challenges and difficulties with love and courage.
Since then, Xiufen and Cuong's lives have remained ordinary, but they are full of love and hope. They have gone through many springs, summers, autumns and winters together, and experienced the ups and downs of life together. And the warmth and companionship left by Xiao Huang will always remain in their hearts.
