Tong Hua thought she had just casually married someone, but after marriage, her luck inexplicably improved: Originally, she was framed by colleagues and her career seemed doomed, but then her enemi...
Today happened to be the market day in town. Grandma Zhang wanted to go to town to buy some daily necessities, so she said to Zhou Rongsheng, "Rongsheng, bring me the backpack from the side room. I'm going to town to buy some things."
Grandma Zhang is old, but she has a backpack, so she doesn’t have to worry about not being able to carry it even if she buys too many things.
Zhou Rongsheng advised her: "Grandma, your leg injury hasn't healed yet, you should stay home and rest! If you need anything, just ask me to buy it, I'll drive directly..."
Grandma Zhang couldn't bear to hear this, so she waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, just stay home. How can a young man like you be so nagging? You're even more talkative than an old woman like me."
It's not that she doesn't appreciate it, but Grandma Zhang has been nagged by Zhou Rongsheng many times in the past few days. Every time he sees her trying to do something, Zhou Rongsheng acts as if he is facing a great enemy. He immediately snatches the thing away and stops her from doing it. He also reminds her that her leg injury has not healed yet. Grandma Zhang is almost annoyed to death.
At such an old age, she is still restricted by her own grandson. She can't do this or that. How can someone who has worked hard all her life get used to this? Fortunately, Tonghua often comes over and chats with Grandma Zhang to relieve her boredom, otherwise Grandma Zhang would be bored to death.
Zhou Rongsheng suggested again: "Then I'll drive you."
"You don't need to follow me, just let Tong Yatou accompany me."
If she let her grandson follow her, she would probably be restless again. When she was chatting with Tonghua before, they made an appointment to go to the market to buy things today.
Guessing that Tonghua had already gotten up, Grandma Zhang went to Tonghua's house. After Tonghua packed up, she followed Grandma Zhang over.
Back in the courtyard, Grandma Zhang urged again: "Is the backpack ready?"
Zhou Rongsheng replied: "Okay."
As he handed the backpack to Grandma Zhang, he said to Tonghua, "I'm sorry to bother you this time."
"What's the trouble? I haven't been to town for a long time anyway. I need to go shopping. It's just right for me to go with grandma. It will be more lively with someone to accompany me on the road."
The two of them, one old and one young, just went out like that.
But when they were about to reach the street, Grandma Zhang suddenly slapped her head and shouted: "Look at me, I'm old and useless. Isn't it dangerous for you to go out on the street like this, little girl?"
She suddenly remembered that a while ago, a strange stranger was looking for Tonghua. Grandma Zhang was worried that Tonghua would meet that person when she went out on the street this time and would be in danger.
Tonghua comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry, it's impossible for us to meet by chance."
There is no such coincidence in the world that it just happens to happen.
Grandma Zhang was still a little worried: "What if? When I heard about this, I felt that the man was not a good person. My daughter, you have to be careful..."
"That happened a long time ago. Maybe he couldn't find me and left long ago. Besides, do I have to stay out of the streets for the rest of my life just to avoid him?"
Grandma Zhang thought about it and felt that the fairy tale was right. It was not a good idea to keep hiding like this. Besides, it was broad daylight now. No one would dare to kidnap and sell women in the street in public.
When the two arrived at the street, they saw that it was crowded with people and seemed extremely lively. It had been a long time since they saw so many people, and Grandma Zhang seemed very happy.
Tonghua asked her, "Grandma, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables. I don't have much vinegar and salt left at home, and I need to buy some vegetables too..." Grandma Zhang muttered about what she wanted to buy. As she spoke, she remembered, "Girl, go buy whatever you want. You don't have to stay here with me."
She still had a lot of things to buy, and she couldn't let Tonghua stay around her idle all the time.
"Then I'll come find you later after I've bought the things."
After the agreement was made, Tonghua left. She didn't want to buy much, and guessed that Grandma Zhang hadn't finished shopping yet. With nothing to do, she walked around and unknowingly reached the river.
She looked at the scenery along the river, lost in thought. She wondered if they were doing well while she was gone. Was there any...
Suddenly,
"Tongtong——"
A familiar shout came from the distance. Tonghua widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. She slowly turned around and saw the person running towards her.
Tonghua's face was filled with an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing. Finally, when the other party threw himself into her arms, she said, "Yaoyao, long time no see!"
After her best friend Tang Shiyao hugged her, she punched Tonghua with her hand and said, "You silly girl, why did you suddenly lose contact without even saying hello? I thought something had happened to you."
In fact, Tonghua did inform Tang Shiyao when she left, but she only sent a message saying that she was leaving and not to look for her, and there was no further news.
For some reasons, Tang Shiyao did not see the message immediately, but saw it when she woke up the next afternoon.
After seeing the message, Tang Shiyao immediately called Tonghua, but Tonghua had already left Hangcheng at that time and didn’t even have her cell phone with her, so how could she answer the call?
Unable to get through on the phone, Tang Shiyao went to Tong's house again to look for Tong Hua, but learned that Qin Zun had also been to Tong's house.
Tang Shiyao was panicked now.
Neither Qin Zun nor the Tong family had any information about Tonghua's whereabouts. Tang Shiyao was so anxious that she almost called the police. She picked up the last message sent by Tonghua and took a deep look at it.
Finally, she decided to respect Fairy Tale's wishes, not look for her, and wait quietly for her to come back.
Fairy Tale: "I'm sorry, it's really my fault. I made you worry..."
Tonghua was very panicked at that time. She didn't know how to face all this. She felt that everything that happened was like a dream. She needed time to calm down, so she impulsively left Hangcheng without making any preparations.
Although she lives a stable and peaceful life now, she still misses the days in Hangcheng when she wakes up in the middle of the night, wondering how they are doing. Will they be panicked by her sudden departure or feel that it is better without her?
And that person, how would he feel about her leaving...
Even in her heart, Tonghua didn't dare to say that name. She was afraid that she would miss him madly and eventually couldn't help but go back to find him, even though it was obviously over between them...
Tonghua tried hard to convince herself that the six months were just a sweet yet painful dream, and when she woke up, she should not look back on the past.
