Time flies and life is like a song.
The wind and sand of the northwest have tempered youth and also witnessed the most sincere emotions.
After two years of teaching, Lu Chenghuan returned to Beijing with Huo Dongzhou, feeling full of accomplishment and reluctant to leave the children.
Huo Dongzhou's outstanding performance in the technical support project not only did not hinder his future, but instead earned him higher evaluation because he solved practical problems.
Shortly after returning, on a clear autumn day, Lu Chenghuan and Huo Dongzhou held their wedding.
The wedding was not particularly grand, but it was full of warmth.
Lu Cheng'an personally took his sister's hand and handed her over to Huo Dongzhou, who was wearing a neat suit and had a firm look in his eyes.
Although her eyes were slightly red, her face was filled with a smile of relief and blessing.
Huo's parents and Lu's parents sat at the main table, looking at the well-matched newlyweds with faces full of satisfaction.
Although Su Tang's parents and Lu Xiao's parents are old, they are in good health and were also brought in. The four generations live together happily.
Lu Cheng'an got married two years ago, and his new wife is a translator at the institute.
She is a girl from Xinjiang, very pretty and delicate, and Su Tang likes her very much.
Their son, a chubby little boy, rushed to be the flower boy for his aunt, adding endless joy to the family.
After marriage, Huo Dongzhou's career steadily improved and he became a technical backbone of the unit. Later, he took on a management position and consistently supported Cheng Huan's career.
Lu Chenghuan returned to the school in the city and brought the teaching experience and insights accumulated in the northwest to more students, becoming the deeply loved Teacher Lu.
They have a lovely daughter, whose features resemble Cheng Huan very much, but whose personality has the calmness of Huo Dongzhou.
Lu Cheng'an has also achieved remarkable success in the research institute, has a happy family and a virtuous wife.
My son is naughty but smart. He often brings his wife and children home for meals, and the house is always bustling with activity.
Although the children have already started their own families, they seem to be no different from them. This is the greatest perfection for Su Tang and Lu Xiao.
…
It was another quiet afternoon, the sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell onto the small round table covered with a white crocheted tablecloth.
Su Tang, whose temples had already turned gray, walked to the balcony holding two cups of freshly brewed jasmine tea.
Lu Xiao was sitting in a rocking chair, reading a newspaper while wearing reading glasses.
"Take a break and have some tea."
Su Tang handed him the teacup and sat down on the rattan chair next to him.
Lu Xiao put down the newspaper and took the teacup. The hot steam carried the fragrance of jasmine.
He looked at the already tall ginkgo tree in the yard, its leaves golden and dazzling.
“Time flies by so fast.”
Lu Xiao sighed softly, his eyes far away: "In the blink of an eye, Cheng'an's children are about to go to middle school, and our Huanhuan's girl has also grown into a big girl."
Su Tang followed his gaze, a gentle smile on her lips: "Yeah, I still remember when Huanhuan insisted on running away to the northwest, which made you very angry, but you couldn't bear to say anything to her."
Lu Xiao snorted in pretended displeasure, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Isn't that all because of Huo Dongzhou? He supports everything he says. But... this kid really didn't disappoint."
There was full recognition and satisfaction in his tone.
"Yes, Dongzhou is a good boy, and we are blessed."
Su Tang nodded, and thought of his son again: "Cheng'an is doing well now, much calmer, and acts like a father."
The two chattered about the trivial matters of their children and grandchildren, and said that the old couple of the Huo family went to Hainan together to spend the winter two years ago, and their health became even better.
Although Su Tang's mother didn't have a very good memory, she could always take out a piece of candy every time she saw her great-granddaughter.
Lu Xiao's father still listened to the radio every day without fail, but now he had switched to the more advanced radio that Huo Dongzhou bought him...
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a warm orange, and the light and shadow in the yard became slanted and peaceful.
Lu Xiao suddenly stopped talking, turned his head and looked at Su Tang deeply.
The years have left marks on her face, but have never changed the love in her eyes.
"Tangtang."
Lu Xiao's voice was a little low and hoarse, but extremely serious.
"We've been through all the ups and downs in this life together. When you were young and in the army, you couldn't take care of the family. It was you who took care of everything inside and outside, caring for the elderly and raising the children..."
"Later, life got better, but I was always busy, so you still took care of more of the big and small things at home."
He stretched out his hand, which was covered with age spots, and gently covered the back of Su Tang's hand on the table: "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Tang was slightly stunned, then she held his warm, rough hand with her backhand. Her eyes were slightly hot as she smiled and said, "We are an old married couple, why are you saying these things?"
"I have to say it."
Lu Xiao held her hand tightly, his eyes affectionate and firm.
"In this life, being able to marry you is my greatest blessing. In the next life, if we can meet again, we will be husband and wife again."
There are no fancy words, only the most simple and unpretentious true feelings.
The golden glow of the setting sun enveloped them, stretching their dependent figures very long, as if they had walked through the long years hand in hand and were heading towards a more distant future.
In the yard, ginkgo leaves fall quietly, quiet and beautiful.
In the room, there was the tinkling sound of the little granddaughter practicing the piano and the laughter of Lu Chengan's son running around.
Su Tang turned his head and looked into the distance. He had never felt that life passed so quickly before.
If possible, she really hopes that time can stop so that she can fully feel the love of this life.
…
Many, many years passed, and Su Tang and Lu Xiao had become old men and women.
