Touching the scene, sighing at the moon. These eight words are the most appropriate for Aunt Zhang, a retired doctor at the professor level. It's just that Tanabata is approaching, there is no Haoyue moon in the sky, only the deep night sky and the faint stars, which makes her infinitely sad.
Aunt Zhang sat on the sofa in the hall, through the floor-to-ceiling window, obsessively watching the legend that the Queen Mother Niangniang used a silver hairpin to cut off the marriage between the cowherd and the weaver girl.
She was thinking that in the past, it was my domineering father who broke my independent marriage. Daddy is the ruthless Queen Mother. But Daddy is dead, and the past has become a cloud of smoke. Now, the old man has been gone for many years, and his first love is back with him.
She wanted to marry him, very much wanted to. She wants to fully enjoy the happiness, sweetness and joy of free love and independent marriage in her later years. However, she still can't, because the "queen mother" of her children is more domineering than her own father.
Is it my Zhang Wei's life that is not good? Why is it that when I am old, my marriage still can't make its own decisions?
Zhang Wei was born in a small city of forest and sea on the banks of the Songhua River in the foothills of the Changbai Mountains, and her parents were ordinary workers. But zhang Wei relied on diligence and talent to become the only female student admitted to the national medical famous university in the small town of Linhai in the 1980s.
Five years of medical university life, she not only gained medical knowledge, but also harvested the sweetest love in life. He was her classmate, and from the day he signed up for the medical university, they fell in love at first sight, and for five years he was with her all the time. The two were excellent in their studies and moral character, and even the professor thought that they were a pair made in heaven. The students did not suspect that they must be "lovers who will eventually become dependents."
However, in the last month of graduation, Zhang Wei's parents came to the medical university and strongly asked her to go home for a blind date. blind date? What age are they, and there are parents who arrange blind dates! Zhang Wei didn't believe it. The father said solemnly: Your mother and I are laid off and have no ability to provide for your brother to study. Only if you have promised this family affair can your brother's book be read. Mom just looked at Zhang Wei with tears in her eyes and didn't speak. But the daughter did not eat or drink without agreeing to her, and for three whole days, she finally fainted in her dormitory.
The school was afraid that things would be big and mobilized her to follow her parents back to her hometown to properly handle the marriage problem. Zhang Wei almost collapsed.
Even more devastated was his boyfriend Xiao Shan. He went to Zhang Wei's dormitory several times to kneel and beg Zhang Wei's parents, zhang Wei's father only had one sentence: My daughter-in-law is my master, how old are you? Xiao Shan argued, but Zhang Wei's father said: Don't grind, I would rather break her leg to feed her than let her marry you. You die!
Zhang Wei was eager to jump from the sixth floor of the university student apartment several times. But her parents saw her to death. Dad even shamelessly threatened her: If you can die, I will bury it. If you are looking for death, I will go to the teacher leader of your college and say: You and Xiao shan are pregnant before marriage, which will ruin the university atmosphere and let you die with a bad reputation. Then your mom and I jumped hand in hand from the sixth-floor window. Zhang Wei cried and asked: You are so shamelessly forcing your daughter, or is it not my father? Dad asked rhetorically: Are you so ruthless in disregard of the future of your parents and brother, or is it not my daughter?
Xiao Shan knew that this was a dead end, so he had to leave Zhang Wei with a blood letter of "each cherished, I quit first", resigned from the invitation of the provincial city hospital, and took the initiative to ask to go to Lhasa, Tibet, to become a military doctor. This time, there was no more news.
Public opinion in the school was already fierce, and Zhang Wei had a feeling that she could not die and could not live, so she had to follow her parents back to the small town of Lin Hai where she was born and raised.
A private entrepreneur in that small town held the most luxurious engagement feast for Zhang Wei and his son at the best hotel. At this time, Zhang Wei knew that as long as Zhang Wei and the son of a private entrepreneur were married, his laid-off parents could go to work in this private company, and they were managers, and their salary was twice that of the original position, and moreover, Zhang Wei's family could enjoy 5% of the company's share dividend. In this way, Zhang Wei's brother's study tuition will naturally not be a problem.
Zhang Wei questioned her parents: Is this selling a daughter for glory? The parents replied simply: You can think whatever you want. In short, you must agree to this family affair. If you don't agree, your parents are dead! In addition, the big engagement sign outside has been posted on the color door with great fanfare. The small town of Linhai, with 500,000 people, will spread to household names in less than a day.
Zhang Wei took the time to call Xiaoshan, who had already flown to Tibet, several times, but the reply from the mobile company's lady was: The phone you dialed was a blank number!
At this time, a very loyal young man comforted her who was crying to death: Don't be sad. Being alive is the most important thing. I know Xiaoshan is excellent. But I'm also a college graduate. I ask, am I so terrible, so despicable?
It turned out that he was the man that his father promised to himself, Li Gan. Li Gan jokingly said: In fact, I am very lenient. After marrying me, as long as you don't cheat, I will tolerate you in everything. Secondly, I like you very much. Proposing to you is my proposal to my father. But I didn't know that you and Xiao shan had been in love for five years. If possible, I automatically quit. However, Xiao Shan, you can't count on it. He had broken off all contact with the school. So, you can only maintain with me.
This Li Gan turned out to be a frank and generous person.
Sure enough, for more than a month, Zhang Wei used all means to fail to contact Xiaoshan. It seemed that Xiao Shan's heart was completely dead.
Li Gan is very good, after graduating from college, he worked in the provincial government, and he was clean and self-sufficient, never had any corruption and scandals, and he was even more protective of Zhang Wei. The fathers-in-law of private entrepreneurs often generously fund them, so their lives can be described as good.
If there is a husband like this, why should the husband ask for it? However, Zhang Wei just couldn't love Li Gan anyway. She doubted herself: Is my love already all in Xiao Shan?
She calmed down countless times and talked to her soul: now, it has become a de facto marriage, her husband is also very good, she is 100% good to herself, and she should try to love her husband. Moreover, he and Li Gan had two children successively. However, she could not deceive herself. She calmly analyzed and recalled countless times: what she and Li Gan had was only family affection, no love.
For this, she was very distressed, and she ordered herself to try to love Li Gan. But all efforts were in vain. She couldn't cheat on her feelings.
Thirty years later, Zhang Wei became the medical authority of the provincial city hospital, and her husband was promoted to deputy secretary general of the provincial government. Unfortunately, on the way to direct the elimination of forest fires, a car accident occurred. Li Gan was gone, gone forever.
Zhang Wei cried. She wept that she did not love Li Gan very well, wept that Li Gan had died young, and wept that her fate was not good.
Finally retired. Zhang Wei suddenly unconsciously remembered: Xiao Shan should also retire, right? He's a year older than himself!
What Zhang Wei did not expect was that soon after a grand classmate meeting, she saw Xiao Shan again.
Xiao Shan is still so tall, so handsome, so dashing, so heroic, so rich and talented. The moment he saw Xiao Shan, Zhang Wei was so excited that he fainted at once.
In the shouts of his classmates, the first thing Zhang Wei saw when he opened his eyes was Xiao Shan's face with the wind and frost of the snowy plateau. The first sentence I heard was what Xiao Shan said: Am I so terrible now? I was stunned when I saw it!
Zhang Wei couldn't hold back, she beat Xiao Shan like crazy and cried and asked: You coward, coward! Why did you leave me? Xiao Shan waved unhappily: Isn't it the best ending for me to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
Yes, Xiao Shan's active withdrawal, is not the best ending? Otherwise, she knew that her stubborn and narrow mother might really seek death and hang herself!
However, Zhang Wei did not intend to forgive Xiao Shan. Xiao Shan could not bear her "doing", so he had to tell the truth: his lover was also a military doctor, who had been sacrificed and buried on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. He already knew about Zhang Wei's family situation from his classmates. He also retired. He was blunt: I want to remarry you.
Zhang Wei's loving heart was immediately like the fire of the spring wind in the ashes, and it burned up with a hula, and it burned day and night, burning her whole mind with XiaoShan. She knew she was once again trapped in the quagmire of love and could not extricate herself. She re-experienced the pain and pain of love.
The news of Zhang Wei's twilight love soon reached the ears of their children who had established their own families.
The children began to return home frequently. They asked their expert mother to the bottom of the question, and then nagged richly: Should Professor Zhang, a famous medical scientist in the provincial city, keep the evening festival? One said that the wife of the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government also had to look for the second spring? Unbelievable?
One said, don't say anything about how splendid "twilight love" is, that is all a lie. Isn't "Asaka Love" not brilliant? Have you and my father never been in love? Since there is no love, then, please ask your mother, how can there be us?
One said, Mom, you are not a commoner. Your current situation is not only about family honor, but also about the honor of your children. Think about it: "The wife of the provincial deputy secretary-general has remarried again", what a terrible public opinion! Think again: "So-and-so's expert mother has found a post-old man to live a life"! Where does this put our faces?
Zhang Wei, who had always had an opinion, had no idea. She didn't know how to be good.
Zhang Wei, who has always been decisive in doing things, hesitated. She didn't know what to do.
She looked at the deep night sky and twinkling stars of Tanabata and thought: Is it my Zhang Wei's life that is not good? When I was young, my marriage was decided by my parents, which ruined my love. The parents were the fierce Queen Mother.
Now, I have met my first love again, my heart is young again, my passion is surging again, and my mind is romantic again. I wanted to make decisions for my twilight love, but my children became the new "Queen Mother"!
Heaven you said: I, the widow of the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, married; I, the medical expert of the provincial hospital, married in my later years; I, Zhang Wei's love in her later years, who should be in charge?
