I hope that after you see this, you will understand what your father and I truly think.
When we first found out, we were furious and felt ashamed. Please don't complain; this is our honest opinion.
We had hoped that you would get married and have children, marry a girl you liked, and that you would be a loving couple for the rest of your lives.
Perhaps it's because we have a good relationship and we hope you feel the same way, but we never expected you to be so surprising and subvert our expectations.
We're old, and we have the mindset of the older generation. We can't accept it right away. We even think you've gone crazy, how could you do something so unconventional?
In that moment, we were afraid of being discovered, afraid of being pointed at and gossiped about, and even more afraid that your work would be affected.
You are an obedient child. We even think it's all Yu Yuan's fault, that Yu Yuan ruined you.
We are just ordinary parents who hope everything is well for you, that your work goes smoothly, and that someone will be by your side in the future.
Child, you don't know how terrible rumors can be, you can't imagine how terrifying it is to be surrounded by such voices.
When two people are together, the most important thing is not to announce it to the world, but to know and love each other, and to face all the hardships together.
We may not understand, we may not agree, but we still hope you are happy.
I think I can try to believe that even if I die, the two of you will be able to support each other.
Your mother is neither a saint nor a god; she is ultimately afraid of gossip, so I cannot agree to the marriage.
But I won't stop you anymore.
Since everything I do is meant to make you happy, what's the point of me persisting?
During this time, we spent time with your Aunt Moyan, and we watched the sunrise and sunset together.
Your dad and I still go farming, we go fishing. When we slowed down the pace of life, I realized that being happy is all that matters.
I won't pressure you anymore, and I hope you can figure it out yourself.
Yu Yuan loves you very much. He gave up his dreams, his faith, his job, and his mother. If it were me, I would probably be furious.
That's why I don't object.
My child, gossip is a double-edged sword.
If you truly don't care, you won't care whether others offer their blessings.
Actually, other people's blessings are not as important as you think.
As long as you're happy.
My child, I hope you are happy.
—Your mother,
After clicking "send document," Fang's mother turned off her phone; she was too nervous to look at it.
The next day, Fang's mother received a call from Fang Lin.
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Fang Lin never imagined that his mother would write such a letter, nor did he expect that she would not object. It all felt like a dream, something he couldn't believe.
"Son, whatever makes you happy."
In the end, all the thousands of words were reduced to this one sentence, this one sentence: a word of compromise.
Fang's mother thought, no matter what the future holds.
Let's just take it one step at a time.
Enjoying the present moment is the most important thing.
When she gave birth to her son, she thought, "This is my son. I will give him the whole world."
She read many books and did a lot of research, but when it came to actually taking care of the child, she was still completely overwhelmed, and all her plans were disrupted.
Later, she thought her son was very outstanding, but she never expected that tutoring his homework would turn her into a shrew.
Then, her son suddenly grew up and was no longer the child who needed her to hug him.
Her son has grown up and has his own life to live. She wants to ask, but she doesn't dare to.
I don't know why, but it suddenly turned out like this.
She only hoped that... her son would be happier in the future.
"Mom... I don't know what I'm thinking. I want too much. I want blessings, I want love, I want to do anything, but I don't have the courage."
I'm also afraid of gossip, yet I desperately want everyone to know that our love is stronger than ever.
This time I understand...
It was all because I wanted too much; ultimately, it was my own greed.
I've figured it out. What you said is right. That's good. As long as we're together, that's enough.
This trip taught him a lot: one shouldn't be too greedy and shouldn't want everything.
Back then, when they ate together, weren't there people whispering among themselves?
Isn't being together more important than anything else?
It was at this moment that the team called Yu Yuan, asking him to return for an emergency mission. Yu Yuan looked at him and said, "Wait for me to come back."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
...
The 28th of the year—
At that moment, Yu Fei was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and went out to buy groceries with his father-in-law. He said he would drive, but Li's father said no, he couldn't let go of it. This made him feel strange. What was there to be unable to let go of?
Then he saw that everyone had a bag of cabbage and a bag of scallions, and that bag was as tall as a person's shoulder, which was really scary.
"Dad, will they be able to finish all this food?"
In his memory, wasn't buying these things just something you did every day? "Wouldn't buying a little bit, two or three pounds a day, be enough?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li said speechlessly, "Where we live, if you say you're buying two or three pounds, you'll get beaten to death. We buy it by the bag. It won't spoil if you leave it at home."
Together they bought a bag of cabbage, a bag of potatoes, a bag of scallions, a bag of carrots, and some seaweed.
Finally, half a pig, half a sheep, and countless amounts of beef, as well as fresh fish and all kinds of seafood.
Yu Fei thought this wasn't buying food for the New Year; it was for hosting a dinner party, or even a hundred or eighty people.
