There are eight movies in the whole series, when I first watched this first one, I couldn't hold back my feelings and wrote it down in one breath -
Loved the movie.
Very warm and nice.
A village far away from the city, far away, where there was a long winter, long enough for a woman who had just become pregnant to give birth in the winter.
A loving couple carrying a wagon of luggage and books. Come to this vast land. As long as you want, you like, you can build a house, grow crops, and build barns on the land under your feet. Excitedly, they planned the construction of their homes in the open space. What a happy future.
The fate of tomorrow is never known.
In the morning, the husband went to look for a running horse, but accidentally fell to his death. The young wife waited anxiously, waiting for the well-wisher to bring her husband's body. The wife shivered in the carriage and spent the night until the next day when well-wishers from the village came to help bury her husband.
It was raining, and the lonely woman was kneeling in front of the grave, where was her way forward? Where is her way home? There are no horses, no coils, and the long winter is coming, and the convoy will only depart next spring.
God will not give up On His children. There have been arrangements in the dark.
In the heavy rain, a man suddenly appeared behind her, got down on one knee, and begged her to marry her.
He said she had to have a shelter, he said he was going to help his daughter find a mother. He said the pastor was leaving today. We won't be back until next spring. So the wedding had to be held today. The priest who had just helped her husband officiate at the funeral had helped her to officiate at the wedding. She had no choice. In this almost uninhabited land, she had no choice.
The man promised her that he would wait until next spring to wrap her around and let her follow the team back to where she had come from. During this time, she just had to be her daughter's mother.
A little girl without a mother, sensible and stubborn. Only because the little boy said that she would have a new mother, he pressed the little boy to the ground and taught him a harsh lesson. She loved Daddy, and Daddy asked her to apologize to the little boy and she apologized. She accepted her father's wedding without making a fuss.
Girls who have lost their mother's love have no childhood, and some just never lose the hard work of adults, without complaint. Maybe fortunately, there is such a way that she can miss her mother. Take care of the man she loves instead of mom. She did not welcome an outsider to join her home, which belonged only to her, him, and the beautiful woman in the frame at the head of the bed.
Anyway, the woman came to this shelter. The man helped her tow back the carriage with her luggage. He said so many books belong to you. The woman asked him why he knew it was hers and not her husband's?
Men say that men will throw away all their books when they cross the first hill. Unless it was for the woman he loved dearly, for a stubborn woman. Yes, they threw away a lot of grain to reduce the burden, but left these books.
The little girl rejects women who accidentally break into the family, and when men go out to work, she will deliberately try to embarrass women. Women have lots, lots of beautiful clothes. The little girl said that the quilt made by her mother was the most beautiful. It is the most beautiful that people can see. Whoever has a baby will ask her to help make beautiful quilts. The little girl's eyes lit up when she talked about her mother.
The man went out that morning, and the little girl said he always prayed alone on days like this. The woman also said that she was going to go out for a walk, and she chose the opposite direction to the man.
Winter was coming, and she didn't go far, so she went home, and when she was about to push open the bedroom door, she saw the little girl carefully flattening her long skirt on the bed, and the sunlight came through the window and fell on the long skirt.
The little girl gently rubbed the cuffs of the long skirt and said softly: Mom, I chose this dress, because you wear a pink skirt is the most beautiful. She muttered to herself, talking softly to her mother. Clenching his teeth to control the involuntary crying. Tears swirled in the eye sockets.
The woman was deeply touched by the little girl's sadness outside the door, her eyes were wet with tears, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth, but it was too late to hide the sound of choking. The little girl looked up and found her. The woman rushed out the door, and the little girl rushed out, angrily rebuking the woman with tears on her face.
She hates it. She has always been so desperately strong. Maybe every time Dad went to pray, she secretly missed Her Mother in her way. Only then did she return to her true girlish nature. More often, she wears suspender pants and bulky boots, and when her friends talk about her, they say this: She is also a girl??? She hated it, hated her weakness for being discovered, and was the woman who tried to replace her mother.
There was a party in town, and the man said let's all go. The little girl said to the woman, you don't want to go to the meeting, because those are people you don't know. Women also have the same stubbornness as little girls. She said she was going.
The man discovered a secret contest between two women. Privately, he sincerely expressed to women that he wanted them to accept each other, and he encouraged women that she would have a way to make things work for the better.
In the night, the woman took out her long pink dress and compared it to the only little girl's little gray dress dress that would only be worn on the most important solemn occasions. Click, click, cut out the extra parts.
In the morning, the little girl came out of the bedroom in a nightgown and slowly walked to the woman, who fell asleep in a chair, a small pink dress with frills spread over her. The little girl gently touched it. The women woke up and looked at each other kindly.
The man pulled the carriage to the front of the house, and the woman pushed open the door and came out. Dress up in a grand outfit. She gave way a little, and the little girl in pink with beautiful frills shyly walked to the front.
When they got to town, the little friends were all stunned, wide-mouthed, and stunned at the little girl.
On the way back, the carriage suddenly jolted, and the woman immediately pressed her stomach tightly. How many months has the man asked? He said the same was true when his wives were pregnant with their daughters, but they were afraid that the fetus in their wombs would be harmed and they always involuntarily protected their stomachs.
The man said, "It's so good, pregnant with his child, which is the memento he left for her when he left.
Before winter came, before Christmas, the man prayed again that morning as usual. The woman was curious and secretly followed behind. See him sitting side by side with his dog and hear his singing. The dog was quietly with him. He sang it to the heavenly wife. Otherwise why did the woman suddenly turn around and leave. She didn't want to bother them.
Snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, and the long winter officially came.
The man pushed open the door, and behind him was a sudden snowstorm, white and unable to see anything. The little girl said that the woman was not at home, and that when he went out on his front foot in the morning, she followed suit. The man's expression immediately became serious, and he took a shotgun to the little girl, telling her that if he did not come back after 10 minutes of going out, she would stand in front of the house and shoot at the sky, without stopping. Turning around, he disappeared into the furious snow and wind that flew around the door.
Before long he saw what appeared to be a black shadow, a horse and a woman, the woman kneeling in front of the horse, still holding the reins of the horse, this is the horse that broke the reins and ran away, and finally it returned to the hostess, but the man could never come back. The man picked up the woman who was already unconscious. The blizzard is getting bigger. It was impossible to distinguish the direction at all, and the eyes were full of whiteness.
The little girl who was staying at home anxiously waiting stared at the wall clock on the wall. Second after second passed. 10 minutes passed. She quickly opened the door and stood in the doorway, her arms raised high, and she struck the trigger firmly at the sky. The snapping gunshots rang out one after another until there were no more bullets. Without hesitation, she rushed into the house to get a spatula, took an iron pot, and knocked hard at the door of the house.
The disoriented man heard it, and he finally heard the anxious but determined voice coming from the direction of home.
At night, the man sat on the woman's bed for the first time, the woman was still unconscious, and the little girl sleeping on the right bed looked at her worriedly, and the man said, rest assured, she is all right, and the baby will be fine. You sleep.
This night a snowstorm raged outside the house, and in the small room, it was so warm.
Men take time to do carpentry quietly alone.
I like this way of life. Every morning when it comes, start the busy day's work. Women and children feed, milk cows and shovel feces at home. Men either go hunting or go fishing. The furniture is made by the men themselves. Of course, the house was also built by everyone together. Sit around the dinner table and make small talk. After dinner, sit by the fireplace reading, telling stories, and doing knitting.
The two women had accepted each other. Relationships are not generally good.
Little girls teach women to do farm work, and women teach little girls to spell. In the evening they sat together in front of the fireplace with a yarn knit. Women knit hoods and tights for the child in her womb. The little girl prepares her secret gift for the upcoming Christmas. At the dinner table, the man asked, is it worn? The little girl did not let go, did not give Her father any hint of speculation. She wanted to save the surprise until the last moment.
The little girl asked how women used to spend Christmas. Women recall how they prepared for Christmas. I will pick beautiful pine trees in so-and-so store, and I will pick beautiful Christmas decorations at so-and-so store.
Does the little girl ask can tell a story? The woman said no, the little girl said how can Christmas Eve without a story be, and she told the woman that when she came home, she must ask her father to tell her the story. The woman said no. Because Dad has died.
The father and daughter asked about the woman's other family members, and the woman's mother had also died. The woman tried to hide her sadness. She said she still had aunts who loved her, and she had friends. She said it would be okay to spend Christmas with her friends in the future.
No matter how much she pretended to be indifferent, in fact she was so lonely, without her parents, without her beloved husband, only her, so next spring she would just return to the place where she had come, but not home. There was no longer a warm home with lights waiting for her.
The little girl comforted her that after the child was born, she could spend Christmas with the child.
Yeah, God gave her hope anyway.
The father and daughter went to the woods and chose their favorite pine tree, the man dragged the pine tree on horseback, and the little girl lay on the pine tree. Long traces were drawn in the snow. Such a meaning is far more fun than a woman going to a store in the city to buy. Then sit back and wait for the store to deliver to your door.
Christmas. They came out of the bedroom and saw men in front of the Christmas tree, smiling at them, decorated with candlelight. The mantelpiece is also full of warm candlelight. Far superior to the most elaborate ornaments in the city's shops. The man took out the carpentry he had spent a lot of time doing, and he made a beautiful house for the little girl. He made a strong cradle for the child to be born in the womb of a woman.
The long, warm winter is over.
The little baby came into this world in the winter, and it was the man who helped her deliver the baby. The little girl waited quietly outside the room until she heard the baby's cry, the corners of her mouth smiling, gently pushing open the door and walking in, and the man told her it was a boy.
Although the little child was born without a father, there were two people who had no relationship with him, looking forward to his birth.
Spring is here, and the time for farming has arrived. The man was on the ground in front of the house, the woman was planting seeds in his well-prepared ground, suddenly she had a mischievous thought, she pushed the man, the man fell to the ground, some surprise, but quickly reacted, got up and chased the woman, the two of them got into a mess, couldn't help but laugh out loud, the little girl in the house heard the voice and ran out to see such a picture, she laughed, she shouted, Daddy, the smile finally came back to your face.
In her heart, she will think of a conversation with a woman, she asked the woman, where did the child come from? The woman pondered for a moment, and she said it was love that brought about it. When each other's love is very full, overflowing will have children.
The little girl said that whoever in the village must love each other very much, because they have a lot of children in their family, and they must have spilled a lot of love. She said that she hoped that her father would also meet such a person, a person who loved him very much.
At this moment, she thought that the woman she had prayed for would love her father had finally appeared.
As agreed before. When spring comes, the man will give the woman a coil, and the woman will follow the convoy back to where she came.
If that's the case, it's life, not the story. Only in life can there be such uninteresting regrets. The story always has to have a perfect ending. Women and men are already in love with each other, but they are careful to hide it. Only the little girl could not hide the sorrow of the imminent separation.
Fortunately, after some small twists and turns, the man finally intercepted the convoy on a fast horse. Before he came, the woman was chatting with people in the carriage, and the people in the carriage complained about the place, about the long winter here, and the woman thought that the land was so beautiful.
The person in the car said that if someone would stay here, then there were only two possibilities, one was crazy, and the other was falling in love.
Yes, love has the power to turn decay into magic. Where there is you, it is heaven.
……
And they have lived happily ever since.
