Story: A poor couple sells their hair in order to make a living and finds that the other party has left a gift for themselves
In ancient times, there was a small village called Cuiyun Village, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had beautiful scenery. There is a young couple in the village, the husband is called Ah Qiang and the wife is called Ah Xiu. The two are hardworking and kind, living a simple and poor life.
Cuong is a strong farmer who wakes up early and works late every day to cultivate a few acres of thin fields, hoping for a good harvest and a good life for his wife. Ah Xiu is a clever woman who is good at weaving and embroidery, and often sews clothes for her husband with her own hands to add some warmth to the home.
However, the sky is unpredictable. That summer, a sudden flood washed away crops and houses in the village, including Cuong and Ah Xiu's home. After the flood receded, the two looked at the ruins, full of helplessness and despair. In order to rebuild their homes, they had to travel around in search of a livelihood.
One day, Cuong hears that a wealthy merchant in a neighboring village is buying hair for a lot of money. He thought of his wife's long black and shiny hair, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Ah Xiu also heard the news, she looked at her long hair in the mirror, and her heart was also full of contradictions.
At night, the two sat in front of a simple hut, staring at the starry sky, silent. Cuong finally broke the silence and said softly, "Ah Xiu, I want to sell our hair for some money to rebuild our home." When Ah Xiu heard this, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded and said, "As long as I can rebuild my home, I am willing." ”
The next day, Ah Keung and Ah Xiu came to the mansion of a wealthy merchant together. When the rich merchant saw their hair, a greedy glint flashed in his eyes, and he offered a high price. Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu gritted their teeth, relentlessly, and cut their hair and handed it over to the rich businessman.
Holding the heavy silver, Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu had mixed feelings in their hearts. They returned to the ruins and began to rebuild their homes. Although they lost their hair, their hearts were full of hope.
As the days passed, Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu exchanged their hard work for the completion of their new home. Their home, though simple, is full of warmth and happiness. However, just when they thought their lives were about to get back on track, an unexpected discovery made waves in their hearts again.
That day, Cuong was sorting through his old belongings at home when he suddenly found a package. When he opened it, it turned out to be a delicate wig, black and bright, exactly the same as the hair of Ah Xiu in his memory. Ah Qiang was stunned, he picked up the wig, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.
When Ah Xiu returned home, he was also speechless in surprise when he saw the wig in Ah Qiang's hand. She remembered the pain and reluctance when she cut her hair, and a warm current welled up in her heart. She looked at Cuong with tears in her eyes and said, "Is this a gift you left for me?"
Cuong nodded, his voice a little choked: "Yes, I want you to have that beautiful long hair again." Ah Xiu was moved to tears, and she gently stroked the wig, as if she could feel Ah Qiang's deep love for her.
The two hugged each other and cried, their hearts filled with gratitude and happiness. They know that although life has been cruel and unforgiving to them, their love is rock solid and can overcome all difficulties. They decided that no matter what challenges and difficulties they would encounter in the future, they would work together to face them together.
This small discovery made Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu cherish each other even more. Their love bloomed more brightly in the predicament. And their story has also been passed down as a good story in Cuiyun Village and has become a beautiful talk in people's mouths.
Since then, Cuong and Ah Xiu have lived happily and peacefully. With their own hands and sweat, they built their homes into a better place. And their love has become more and more firm and deep in the baptism of the years.
The story spread throughout the village, and people were touched by the couple's tenacity and love. Their experiences teach people that no matter how hard life is, as long as there is love, there is hope. And the love hidden in the bottom of the heart often blooms the most dazzling light at the most unexpected moment.
The days passed quietly in the hard work of Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu, and their lives gradually got on the right track. Ah Xiu put on that wig, as if he had regained his former confidence and beauty. And Ah Qiang also grew short hair, although he did not have the chic of long hair, but the perseverance and stability were more prominent.
The villagers of Cuiyun Village came to congratulate them when they saw their changes. They praised Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu as a model couple in the village, not only hardworking and capable, but also facing the ups and downs of life together.
However, life is always full of uncertainties. Just when Cuong and Ah Xiu thought everything was going to be fine, a sudden plague swept through the village. The villagers fell ill one after another, and Cuong and Ah Xiu were not spared.
On the sickbed, Ah Qiang held Ah Xiu's hand, his eyes full of worry and reluctance. He knew that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he was afraid that his days were numbered. He was afraid that after he left, Ah Xiu would be lonely and helpless.
Ah Xiu saw Ah Qiang's concern, she gently stroked his cheek, and said gently, "Ah Qiang, don't worry about me. We'll get through this together. Even if you are gone, I will live strongly, for our family, for our future. ”
Ah Qiang listened to Ah Xiu's words, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that his wife was so strong and brave that she would not give up easily even in the face of the test of life and death. He held Ah Xiu's hand tightly, and his eyes flashed with determination.
In the torment of illness, Ah Keung and Ah Xiu supported each other and got through that difficult time together. Their love is sublimated between life and death, becoming deeper and stronger.
Finally, with the arrival of spring, the plague gradually receded. Although Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu are still a little weak, their spirits are full of new vitality. They know that this disaster has made them cherish each other more and cherish life more.
To celebrate the aftermath of the disaster, they decided to hold a celebration in the village square. Villagers came to participate, bringing a variety of delicacies and gifts to share the joy and happiness together.
At the climax of the celebration, Cuong suddenly walked to the middle of the square and announced in a loud voice, "I would like to thank my wife, Ah Xiu, for being with me through this difficult time." She is the most important person in my life, and I will always love and protect her. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. Ah Xiu stood in the crowd, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes. She knows that her love has been rewarded in the best, and the story of her and Cuong will become an eternal legend in the village.
As the days passed, Cuong and Ah Xiu's bodies gradually recovered. They understand that after this test of life and death, the affection between each other has become deeper and they cherish every moment together.
To thank the villagers for their care and help during their illness, Cuong and Ah Xiu decided to plant more crops in their fields so that they could give back to everyone during the harvest. They leave early and return late, working hard and looking forward to a good harvest in the coming year.
However, just as they look forward to the future with hope, a sudden storm breaks their peaceful life once again. The wind was raging, the torrential rain was pouring down, and the crops that Cuong and Ah Xiu had worked so hard to grow were destroyed.
Looking at the messy field, Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu were heartbroken. They know that this means that they have to start over and face the challenges of life again. But this time, instead of frustration and despair, they chose to face it bravely.
Ah Qiang stood in the wind and rain, his eyes were firm and said, "Ah Xiu, we can't be defeated by difficulties. If we work together, we can rebuild our homes and make life hopeful again. Ah Xiu nodded, his eyes shining with determination.
They began to clear the rubble of the fields and replan the crops they planted. Seeing their tenacity and courage, the villagers also came to help. With the joint efforts of everyone, the field was quickly restored to life.
This experience made Cuong and Ah Xiu more aware that there will always be ups and downs in life, but as long as there is love and faith in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties. Their love was also sublimated in this ordeal and became more indestructible.
Finally, in the autumn of the following year, Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu's fields ushered in a bumper harvest. They looked at the golden rice and the fruitful fruit trees, and their hearts were filled with joy and pride. They know that it is the fruit of their hard work and a testimony of their love.
To celebrate this harvest season, Cuong and Ah Xiu invited the whole village to join them in the harvest feast. At the banquet, they prepared sumptuous food for the villagers and shared their experiences and insights.
The villagers listened to their stories and were all moved. They all said that Ah Qiang and Ah Xiu are role models in the village, and their love and tenacity are worth learning from everyone.
Since then, Ah Keung and Ah Xiu's lives have become happier and more satisfying. They use their own hands and wisdom to build a better home. And their story has also spread in Cuiyun Village and has become a good story in the hearts of generations after generations.
