Grandpa Sang listened and fell silent.
Over the years, Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang have been extremely secretive about their daughter's death and rarely mention it.
At this time in the room, Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi were talking about the death of her mother-in-law Sang Yuwan.
"...So, my mother-in-law didn't die of illness in Beijing? But at the border?" Gu Jianing was a little surprised.
Because Sheng Zexi never mentioned it, she thought her mother-in-law died of illness in Beijing.
"Yes, because she was infected with a highly contagious virus, her body could not be brought back. Instead, she was cremated at the border. What we brought back were my mother's ashes."
Talking about his mother's death, Sheng Zexi still feels sad.
At the beginning, a conflict broke out on the border between their country and Country F. Sheng Xinhao needed to lead a team there, and might even have to stay there for a year or two.
Because the time is relatively long, you are allowed to bring one person with you.
Sheng Xinhao didn't want to take Sang Yuwan with him at first.
I’m afraid that Sang Yuwan will encounter some danger.
But Sang Yuwan wanted to go, simply because she was not only Sheng Xinhao's wife, but also a war correspondent.
So, she wanted to follow and track the report.
In the end, Sheng Xinhao couldn't persuade Sang Yuwan and left.
At that time, Sheng Zexi, who was still a teenager in junior high school, naturally couldn't bear to leave his parents.
But there is no way. Because of my parents' work, it is impossible for the family to be together all the time.
Therefore, Sheng Zexi was entrusted to Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang.
I never thought that Sang Yuwan would never come back after he left.
"If I knew she would never come back after she left, I would not let her go even if I hugged her thighs and cried."
During the half year that Sang Yuwan followed Sheng Xinhao to the border, she would occasionally send back news.
But just half a year later, an infectious disease suddenly broke out across the border.
"In ancient times, deadly infectious diseases were almost like plagues."
“By the time the news came out, countless people had already been infected.”
It was at that time that Sang Yuwan was infected, and her condition was very serious.
"...He said that he had asked many people to save my mother, and even asked the most skilled doctor from Country A who was also at the border at the time, but he still couldn't save my mother's life."
So, when Sheng Xinhao returned to China again, he brought back his honor and Sang Yuwan's ashes.
Sheng Zexi also clearly remembered how painful Sheng Xinhao was during the first six months due to the death of his wife.
But I also clearly remember that a year later, he remarried as if he had forgotten his mother.
Sheng Zexi didn't stop him from getting married.
In particular, Sheng Xinhao was still young at the time and held a high position as soon as he returned to China.
Even if he doesn't want to remarry, given the position he holds, his superiors will definitely require him to do so.
However, Sheng Zexi felt that only one year had passed too fast.
In particular, after Sheng Xinhao married Fang Wanrong, his heart completely leaned towards Fang Wanrong, and he even listened to one side of the story and became increasingly hostile to Sheng Zexi.
This is why Sheng Zexi hates him.
After all, when it comes to my mother's death, life and death are determined by fate and cannot be forced.
But in other aspects, Sheng Zexi also saw Sheng Xinhao's ruthlessness.
Now, even though Sheng Xinhao had divorced Fang Wanrong a long time ago.
Even though Sheng Xinhao already knew he was wrong, he still tried to make amends.
Even this year, he asked the old man to come to the courtyard to celebrate the New Year.
But it cannot be said that the resentment in Sheng Zexi's heart has disappeared.
"If you want me to stop complaining, my mother must come back to life, but..."
But how is that possible?
Gu Jianing knew what he meant, so she stepped forward, hugged him, and comforted him silently.
Sheng Zexi didn't let his emotions stay for too long and he recovered quickly.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous meal in this courtyard in the whole year.
While eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, the TV I bought last year was playing the Spring Festival Gala.
The new year has arrived with the ringing of bells on TV and the blooming of fireworks in the sky over Beijing.
Xingxing, Yueyue and Tuantuan, the three children, had fallen asleep early because they were relatively young.
In the yard, Sheng Zexi hugged Gu Jianing. They looked at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, their hands clasped tightly, and their hearts were also tightly tied together.
At this moment, there was no words, but we promised each other in our hearts that we would be together and continue to spend many, many years like this...
I don’t know if it was because he talked about his mother during the day, but Sheng Zexi had a rare dream that night.
I saw my mother in my dream.
The mother in the dream was young, beautiful and gentle.
But when Sheng Zexi wanted to get closer, she disappeared like a puff of smoke...
-
At this time, Country A.
In the manor, a beautiful middle-aged woman was looking out the window.
At this time, a handsome middle-aged man came over and embraced the woman.
"Dear Wan, what are you thinking about?"
"Henry, today seems to be New Year's Eve in China, right?" the middle-aged woman named Wan spoke.
The blond, blue-eyed, handsome middle-aged man named Henry's eyes flashed, and something seemed to pass quickly in his eyes, but soon disappeared.
His voice is full of magnetism and tenderness.
"Yes, today is Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Then it should be very lively in China today. I remember that New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion."
"Yes."
"Henry, do you think my family will miss me and think about me too?"
Henry pursed his lips and hugged his wife tightly. He said, "Dear, do you still want to go back to China to find your family?"
"Yes. Henry, I have to find an answer no matter what, otherwise I will always feel uneasy." Awan snuggled in Henry's arms.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Um."
Awan looked out the window, as if she was looking through the window at China on the other side of the distant ocean.
Awan has no memory of the past, and only vaguely remembers that someone called her Awan.
As far as she can remember, she was seriously ill and was treated by Henry.
Henry said he met her by chance.
When she met her, she was seriously ill and there was no one around her. Later, even though Henry cured her illness, she asked around but did not find anyone who looked like her family.
Later, she followed Henry back to Country A, fell in love with Henry, and got married.
Since then, he has settled in Country A.
Time passed and it was more than ten years.
The only thing Awan knew was that she was Chinese.
Because of her special oriental face, she is Chinese.
Over the past decade, although she and Henry had no children, Henry had always been very kind to her, treating her like a treasure.
But as time went on, Awan always felt empty inside.
It's like I've forgotten something important.
That is very important to her and she can't let it go.
Awan knew that the very important thing was in China, so even if more than ten years had passed, she would go looking for it.
