Autumn fairy tales

Wen | Shen Chenlin

One sunny weekend morning, I brought my favorite book to a park where no one was there, ready to find a place to sit and read a book, and the reason for choosing this park was that it was quiet enough.

At this time it is the golden autumn of September, the park in the ginkgo biloba batch golden feathers, osmanthus flowers fragrant, there is no summer heat, there is no winter cold, the weather is not hot or cold, the sun shines on the body comfortable and warm, this scene I think of Richard Clayderman's piano song "Autumn Whisper", the beating notes, gently dancing with the warmth and romance of autumn, telling the fairy tales of autumn, the warmth of autumn.

I sat down on a long bench with a large reclining chair and a long bench to read quietly, when I saw two silver-haired old men bending down to sit on the bench next to me, they looked like a couple, I observed two old people, looking about 70 years old, full of red light, a kind face, amiable, I took the initiative to chat with them.

"Grandparents, how old are you this year?"

"We're the same year, and we're going to be 82 years old this year." Grandma said with a smile.

"You look like you're in your 70s."

The two old men looked at each other and smiled, "That's all said." ”

I said, "What's the secret?" ”

"Because of love, every day when you are in a good mood, your body will be good, and you will look young."

I suddenly wanted to hear their love story, so I said with a cute face: "Grandparents, I want to hear your love story, can I?" ”

"What's the problem with that?" Grandpa said with a smile.

"Old man, come on!" Grandma quipped.

In fact, today is our sixty-year wedding anniversary, taking advantage of the good weather, in the morning to come to the place we knew when we were young for a walk, just walk tired to come to this bench to rest, and then we will also go to take wedding photos to commemorate the sixty years of marriage of diamond wedding.

I clapped my hands and said, "Wow, grandparents love is so romantic." ”

Ruman and I also met on such a sunny autumn morning sixty years ago, and Grandpa fell into memories...

When Ru Man was eighteen years old, she was a well-known beauty in a radius of ten miles, and on the way to the temple to worship Guanyin, she was favored by the rich young master who came out to play, and when he returned, he asked the matchmaker to come to the house to say kiss.

At that time, shortly after liberation, the people's living standards were not very high, and it was a great joy to be able to be looked at by such a wealthy family when food and clothing were problematic.

The matchmaker began to dance with her three inches of unruly tongue and eyebrows: "Ru Man's father, this Zhang family's high-gate compound, jinshan yinshan, Aya luo silk, mountain treasures and seafood have everything, such as Man If he marries into this zhang family, he will not worry about eating and wearing, and he will have no worries about food and clothing." ”

For example, Man Dad actually knows the wealth of the Zhang family, and he is so added to the oil and vinegar by the matchmaker, so he is eager to marry Ru Man tomorrow, because the family is about to open the pot, of course, he hopes that the baby daughter will marry into the family of the family who does not worry about eating and wearing, and the kiss to the matchmaker should be accepted.

Before the marriage, the two also met a few times, the rich young master is not a clumsy child, but gentle and elegant, polite and polite, and considerate to Ru Man, Ru Man is very satisfied with this rich young master, full of joy waiting to be a bride.

Soon it was the day of the marriage, the gongs and drums were noisy, the locks were sounding in unison, the firecrackers were thundering all the way, and Ru Man was wearing a red wedding dress and a red turban on the way to the Zhang Mansion in an eight-wheeled sedan car.

Before arriving at Zhang Mansion, suddenly out of an alley a family member with a face full of blood, the person carrying the palanquin put down the palanquin and went forward to take a closer look, and found that it was Zhang Fu's family.

Jia Ding cried and said with a sad face: "The Zhang family prince is gone, he was killed by bandits, and now the Zhang family is in chaos and has become a pot of porridge, everyone is scattered and fleeing for their lives, so you can also go back!"

At that time, bandits were rampant, and this rich man surnamed Zhang had long been targeted by bandits because he had money and grain in his family, and today he took advantage of everyone's busyness to go in and steal property, and just happened to be bumped into by the Zhang family, and he was directly killed by the bandits.

When Ru Man heard the news, she fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she was lying in her boudoir, her mother was with her, looking at her with concerned and a little anxious eyes, she got up and threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly, and her mother stroked her back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over." ”

Ru Man thought that it was really as his mother said that it was all over, and he was ready to pick himself up and start a new life, but the people in the village were all saying like Mankoff behind their backs, so that ten, ten to a hundred, people outside the radius of ten miles knew about ru Mankoff, and the matchmaker who had broken through the threshold before had never come to Ru Man's house again.

Later, the bandits were all wiped out by the People's Liberation Army, Guotai Min'an, there were no more bandits, but every time Ru Man went out to do things, there was always someone pointing behind his back, Ru Man really couldn't stand this kind of life, so he ran to a lake to prepare to jump into the lake to live, that day I just went to their brigade meeting, saw someone wanting to jump into the lake, and hurried over to block.

"Girl, what do you want to take this road without opening, you are still so young, the road of life is still very long, there are still many beautiful things waiting for you."

When Ruman heard me say this, he covered his face and cried, and I said, "Girl, don't be afraid, I am a good person, you tell me what happened, I can help you." ”

Ru Man told me what happened to her, and I advised: "I can especially understand your feelings, in fact, you don't have to care about how others look at you, how you say you, you are sad, sad, and even want to end your life, but those who say you behind your back should eat and eat, sleep and sleep, if you really end your life, it is another talking point for them, after a long time will forget all this, and for your parents to lose you is really sad, so cherish life, Stay away from the broken mouths of those mothers-in-law. ”

Ru Man heard me say so much that she dismissed the idea of taking her own life, and thanked me, I asked her, "Do you know words?" ”

She shook her head.

I encouraged him again: "You are still young, the country is now literate, you can go to night school, knowledge can change your destiny, as long as you learn more things, you will not mind what others say about you and how you see you." ”

She nodded and said, "What do you do?" ”

I said, "I work as an accountant in the brigade during the day and as a teacher at night school in the evening."

She looked at me with adoring eyes and said, "No wonder you know so much, I must go to night school." ”

I smiled and said, "You're welcome to join, and if you want to understand, I'm ready to go to Xinxiang for a meeting now." ”

She hurriedly said: "Xinxiang is our village, and I am ready to go back, so let's go together." ”

On the way, I talked to her a lot more, telling her all the stories and interesting things I read in the book, and she listened to them with relish and was completely immersed in them.

I said more that day than I had said that day, and I knew I was so good at talking.

Later in the night school really saw Ru Man, she learned very seriously, there are places that do not understand will come to ask me, we are so acquainted, I found ru Man is very smart, learning knowledge is particularly fast, a few months later she will read independently, she looked for me to borrow books to go back to read, and will analyze the places in the book with me at the next class.

I would explain to her patiently and in detail every time, and the look in her eyes became more and more different, I could feel her liking for me, and as long as I didn't see Ruman one day, my heart was particularly uncomfortable, and we were only one step away from breaking the window paper.

My parents saw that I was old and not small, and asked relatives and friends to say kiss to me, and I immediately came up with the figure of Ru Man in my mind, and I said to my parents: "I have a crush on Ru Man in Xinxiang, you help me to talk about it." ”

My parents probably heard about Ru Man and resolutely disagreed, afraid of her Kefu, and I tried to use what I had learned to persuade them: "That's not Kefu, that's the money that bandits look up to that family, if the Zhang family is just a poor person, such a thing will not happen, if you can't marry Ruman as a wife, I don't want to say kiss now." ”

My parents can't resist my insistence, or find someone to go to Ru Man's house to help me say kiss, Ru Man naturally agreed, her parents heard that I was an accountant, and at night I was still teaching at night school, and I happily agreed.

In this way, in the blessing of my parents and villagers, I married Ru Man back home, of course, I was not killed by Ru Manke, and I was more and more prosperous, and I am still in good health and strong in my 80s.

When Ru Man just married into our family, the family is particularly poor, we do not have a separate house, but with two relatives in my family to live in a room, under one roof live nearly ten people, lively is lively, but the contradictions in life are inevitable, but ru Man entered the door after the family has never had a contradiction, she can coordinate the contradictions of all parties in the family, but also the family is organized, her parents just began to be full of mustard for her, but now they have made a great change in her, and they have become very fond of her.

I am a team accountant who often goes out to meetings, and the teaching of night school requires a lot of energy, such as Mann let me work outside very at ease, do not have to worry about anything at home.

In the first year of marriage, Ru Man added a big fat boy to me, in that era of son preference, having a son will also consolidate the woman's position in the man, ru Man is more loved by my parents.

The grandmother's face overflowed with happiness: "After I married her, I was also happy for a lifetime, every time I worked in the field, as long as he came home from work, the first thing he did was to run to the field to pick me up and take me home, and when he got home, he would bring me tea and pour water, which would be particularly painful." ”

I said to my grandmother, "Then you are so lucky, I have heard a lot of stories of that era, the mother-in-law was very good to the daughter-in-law, and the husband respected the woman not much." ”

"Yes, the so-called home and everything, our later days are getting better and better, and it also comes from this."

Unconsciously, it had been talking for more than an hour, when the old man's phone rang, and he picked up and said, "Okay, we'll be back right away." ”

Grandpa said to me, "If you have the chance, next time I will tell you the story behind us, how our lives have become better, and my son has called to pick us up to take wedding photos." ”

"Okay, Grandpa and Grandma, I'll get you out!"

No, no, you can read books with peace of mind, I especially like young people who read books, now there are too few young people reading books, holding mobile phones all day long, blinding their eyes, and their thoughts are also rigid.

Looking at the distant backs of my grandparents and grandfathers, I thought for a long time, went back to write their stories, if I had the opportunity to meet them again, I would always finish their stories, and I believe that I would definitely be able to see them again.
