The most beautiful love I have ever seen.
Text/heart sandalwood
When I got married, none of my relatives ... including my parents were present to congratulate me.
No, no, no, I didn't elope. I officially informed my parents' relatives that I would like to pay a round-trip ticket for them to attend my wedding. Besides, if they think it is necessary, I have no objection to going back to the city where I grew up to hold the wedding. ...
But they still didn't bless my marriage.
I don't blame them. After all, neither my parents nor I are wrong. I have the right to choose a woman I like but they don't like as my wife, and they have the right to refuse to admit a woman I like but they don't like as their wife.
The Feng family's ancestral home was in Shanghai, and later immigrated to South Africa to engage in diamond and jewelry business, and now its headquarters has been moved to Switzerland. It has established a huge jewelry kingdom overseas, and I am the youngest prince in this kingdom. I am the most loved and disappointed by my parents. I/kloc-was admitted to Harvard University at the age of 0/8, and graduated with a master's degree in economics at the age of 23. After graduation, I didn't go home to help my parents and three brothers take care of the family business that I was not interested in at all. Instead, I followed my venerable senior in college to Singapore to help his only son in the family. At the age of 25, he will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the whole family business and manage the whole group. Then, three years later, I accepted the trust of my seniors and came to a completely strange land, starting from scratch. Ten years later, at the age of 36, I found my bride, an independent woman with warm and shrewd eyes. Her name is Hui, and she is a lawyer. She is 3 1 year-old, had a failed marriage and a smart and lively little son.
I love Hui, her not-so-beautiful but gentle appearance, her warm and mature charm, her intelligent and witty mind, her forever independent, confident and self-reliant character, her kindness in helping others fight legal aid lawsuits for free, and even her deep maternal love in caring for her little son. ...
My parents don't like me for a reason. They can't stand her complete background in Chinese mainland, don't like her as a commoner without any family influence, and can't stand that she is 3 1 year old this year. She is a divorced and remarried woman dragging a child into the house. In their view, nothing can compare with the most basic conditions of the youngest son.
In the eyes of my parents, their youngest son is an excellent man, and he will not feel inferior even if he is married to a noble family. Why should he condescend to such a useless woman?
This is natural. My parents have never met Hui Hui. They can't understand the advantages of Hui Hui and its incomparable importance to others in my heart. But most importantly, they don't trust their youngest son's vision of choosing a spouse at all. In their view, their youngest son is still the boy who is a little vain, arrogant and self-centered when he is around them. They think he will only develop unreliable and irresponsible sexual relations and games with girls.
I can't explain to my parents how serious I am, and I can't convince them that I'm not that vain me anymore. They will tell me on the other end of the phone-a leopard cannot change his spots. I really want to tell them that I am a really mature and responsible man because of some things, but I can't make it clear on the phone because it's a long story. ...
Because I have seen the most beautiful love in the world. ...
To tell this story, we must push the time back to ten years ago.
Until now, I still remember it clearly. When I was the person in charge of the preparation of the production base of Zhao Heng Group in Hedingshan City, I was bumped all the way, carsick and vomited until I vomited bile, and I didn't see the dilapidated guest house. What impressed me most was not the food and drink or the service quality in this hotel, but when I drank a bowl of porridge and wanted to find a toilet first, I saw that the crowded toilet was full of white-bearded maggots. ...
I remember being stupefied for three minutes at that time, and finally afraid to step into the sphere of influence of maggots that made my scalp numb and fled. This psychological struggle continued until the production base built the cleanest toilet in the whole city of Hedingshan.
This is a city with the most beautiful marble buried in the mountains in the world, but what was presented to me at that time was amazing … No, it should be appalling poverty.
Some farmers have only three adobe houses and a kang, and a family of seven has only two pairs of trousers. 17-year-old girl has no pants and can only lie in bed. Some farmers gave birth to six children, but none of the nine people in a family graduated from primary school. The person with the highest education barely wrote his name after reading the third grade of primary school. Some farmers don't have enough food at home every year, and go out to avoid famine every winter, in order to get some food and money, so that the whole family can survive the winter and spring; Some farmers have never eaten white-flour steamed bread in their whole lives, and they have never seen what the RMB in 5 yuan and 10 yuan looks like ... I still remember the first batch of workers recruited in Hedingshan City when the production base started to officially operate, and they were surprised when they ate white-flour steamed bread and dried noodles in the cafeteria. They were shaking with new tickets when they received a salary of tens of yuan in the first month. ...
But the spirit of farmers here is not numb. In fact, what gave me confidence at first was a farmer's wedding. I saw the bride wearing a brand-new red cotton-padded jacket and the groom wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket wearing big red flowers on their chests, shyly lowering their heads to accept the applause and frolicking of the villagers, firecrackers ringing loudly, a rare table floating with oil and water, people laughing and flapping, and a pair of black eyes flashing with vitality and joy in the sun. ...
As long as the people have not lost hope, no matter what the status quo is, it will not be too terrible.
More importantly, Hedingshan City was fortunate to get a mayor named Wei.
The first time I met Wei was in a poor village by the Xiangjiang River. Even a foreigner who has explored around Heding Mountain City for a few days already knows that if Heding Mountain City is shabby to me, then this small village called Yangjiajiao Village is very poor to the local people in Heding Mountain City, but I remember that Wei was wearing a light gray Chinese tunic suit at sunset.
Later, I learned that it was the home of a childless old lady in Yangjiajiao Village. Wei Ye Tan took care of her for six years until her death.
Later, as the head of Hedingshan City Group, Wei and I naturally became familiar with each other. When I first met him, what worried him most was the financial shortage in the city. To what extent, the mayor can't spare any money to renovate primary and secondary schools, pay public teachers, and had better give private teachers some allowances, and ... this is beyond his wildest dreams.
Although I heard him say this occasionally, I still couldn't help but want to tell him-in fact, Zhao Heng Group was supposed to invest in road construction here, but I finally refrained from saying it. After all, I'm just the head of a production base, and the president is coming soon. I can ask President Shu Angel to make a decision, but I can't make any promises.
The road was soon repaired. On the sixth day in Heding Mountain City, my senior and current boss Shu readily promised to contribute to the road construction, and later promised to allocate funds from the group's charity fixed expenditure to improve the teaching conditions of rural primary schools here.
My senior, Shu, is also the chairman and president of the group. He is a very capable and enterprising person. He is friendly to friends, but his business is clear. He is always stingy when helping people in need, but this time his reaction surprised me. He seems ... seems eager? I'm so eager ... I can't help thinking ...
But Angel soon left the capital of Shu. He is a busy man. I have countless things to deal with in Heding Mountain City, so I soon forgot my little whisper.

However, a few months later, an encounter with Wei at the post office made my mind suspicious again. There is only one post office in Heding Mountain City. I always meet acquaintances when I go to the post office to fill packages, pick up letters and telegrams. In addition, Wei and I were already very familiar with each other at that time, so I couldn't help smiling at him holding a big package and preparing to walk out of the post office. Specifically, I looked at the package from a distance.
At first glance, I was taken aback. In addition to the various stamp marks of the post office, the name and address of the recipient, etc., the handwriting is extremely vigorous, and it is clearly a comfortable font that I am very familiar with. Speaking of which, I'm not good at calligraphy. Such a good handwriting as Shu is really rare in overseas Chinese circles, so it is particularly impressive.
Shu is delivering a package to Wei. It's a little far, and I'm embarrassed to go near and take the parcel from Wei and study it carefully, but my intuition tells me that it's unusual. Maybe it's not an intuition. I really have never seen Wei like that. You know, although he is not much older than me and handsome, it may be because he is the head of a city and always sees his cold face and beautiful eyebrows.
I really wanted to say hello to Wei and inquire about the origin of this package, but I gave up the idea at the moment I passed by. Whether Shu really sent something to Wei or not, it was their private affair. Curiosity is so strong that it seems a bad habit to ask about other people's private affairs.
This matter left a mystery in my heart, but I didn't tell anyone my doubts. I only met Wei occasionally, and it suddenly occurred to me. I secretly wonder why Shu personally sealed a package and sent it to him. what do you think? People like Shu and people like Wei ... they shouldn't overlap in personal relationships. ...
My idea was wrong, and it was very wrong, but I didn't know it at that time.
I am a slow-heating person, so I really found something strange in the middle of the night. I was already lying under the covers, dreaming a good dream. Suddenly, I was startled by the ringing of the telephone. I picked up the phone sleepily, and the other end of the phone rang, which was the anxious voice of Shu Angel-
"You find me a good cook, now!"
I was shocked by his anxiety, so I didn't ask anything, rolled over and got dressed, got out of bed, and helped him find a chef who was honest and responsible for cooking ... Later, I knew he was not looking for a chef, but looking for a chef and housekeeper to help him take care of Ye Wei Tan, which he usually couldn't take care of.
So I know something important is happening quietly. Strangely, I'm not surprised or disgusted at all, although I used to think that people like Shu and Wei should not overlap in personal relationships. However, looking at the clusters of red azaleas blooming quietly in the morning light on the windowsill, who can stop a flower from blooming?
We were sitting face to face in the room when he said this. I remember it very clearly. It was a sunny day. When Shu spoke, his expression was more serious than I had ever seen. "Please take care of him for me!" He only said these six words. He didn't say who that "he" was, and I didn't ask. Some things do not need to be explained.
I never thought Shu would fall in love with Wei.
Just like I never thought I would receive a female lawyer with water dripping in her hair on a drizzly afternoon, and I fell in love with her hopelessly after listening to her impassioned speech.
Yes, you never know when love will come and with whom, but as long as you embrace it wholeheartedly, it will bring you full happiness and happiness.
Yes, that's how love is enjoyed.
Although Wei's happiness is hidden deep, he only occasionally looks at a faint smile in the distance when he thinks that no one is paying attention to him. He seems to casually ask Shu in front of me. Nothing, but the frequency is as high as twice a month. I often see him holding a parcel or an airmail envelope in front of the post office. I wonder why no one with an eagle's eye sees the blush behind his ears in the huge mountain city of Heding. He once complained to me that Shu Xinzi asked me to transfer the canned cat to chubby Tom, which caused Tom to watch the door every day and refused to eat the ordinary cat food at home. Tearing his hair out about the tone of the complaint, incidentally, later Shu made a special trip to check in two boxes of canned cats, so that Tom, who was already very strong, completely developed into the first fat cat in Heding Mountain City, which could compete with Garfield.
So, when Shu is still worried about revealing the end of his unrequited love on the phone, I already know that his love will not be unrequited love. Because I clearly see that the invisible but true love line, round and round, crosses the ocean and stretches for thousands of miles, firmly holding the hearts of two people.
But I still occasionally think, can the love between two mature men who are so far apart, almost completely maintained by communication tools, proud and have learned to hide themselves really be a positive result?
The test will come soon. One morning, by chance, I heard a message that I didn't know where it came from, as if it was from the director of the Finance Bureau surnamed Zheng. When he said this, his tone was full of envy and jealousy. "Don't you know? Our mayor Wei wants to have a blind date with the baby daughter of Minister Yang of the provincial organization department. Oh, it's nice to be young and handsome. I said that Mayor Wei is almost thirty-five and not married, and his feelings are waiting to catch big fish ... Ha ha ha, I'm just saying, even if you've heard of the manager, don't take it seriously. Let's just talk and laugh. Maybe Mayor Wei has a high eye and doesn't like Minister Yang's daughter? "
Zheng said so, but I don't think there is any "possibility" in his appearance. Obviously, Wei will definitely marry that young lady, and he ... is only dissatisfied with this marriage for a hundred times.
I can't help worrying that, like Wei, I'm already a cadre at the level but I'm not married at the age of 33. In a sense, getting married here is almost the dividing line between maturity and immaturity in the eyes of the world. What's more, this is another blind date that can bring benefits to the cause. In any case, Wei is likely to get married and live a so-called "normal" life from now on.
(below)
However, for a long time, there was no news of Wei's blind date.
After a long time, I met Director Zheng again. I "inadvertently" inquired about the follow-up of Mayor Wei's blind date, and the answer was "Well, it didn't work, did it?"
Things, so lightly in the past. I didn't report it to Shu.
I can't bear to add insult to injury to Shuben's already depressed mood.
As we all know, in Hedingshan City, from the municipal government office to the salespeople in small department stores, almost all of them are engaged in a life-and-death confrontation between the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor Wei. I knew about the confrontation, but I didn't tell Shu. I thought it had nothing to do with Shu, but a struggle between officials within the government. I didn't expect that this kind of struggle could involve Shu.
But it was an era of pan-politicization, and the radius of political issues could be infinitely expanded.
When I received a long-distance call from Shu and heard him yelling at me on the other end, I was really at a loss. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong. Maybe I really should give Shu all the detailed reports I have seen about Wei. Just, I think, if I do this, I'm afraid Shu can't stay in Singapore for another minute.
Can I tell him how Wei wore long rubber boots and stepped on frozen mud to hold a live spring sowing meeting? How to go to the provincial planning commission and prefectural party Committee again and again to get more project funds for Hedingshan City? How to take out my meager salary to buy food and give it to those lonely old people who are too poor to open the pot for emergency; How to get angry at the highway construction site and dismiss the person in charge of the site who deducted the workers' food money on the spot, thus completely offending Liu Changming's nephew Liu Changming; How can the whole Heding Mountain City put out fires everywhere? Because people in Liu Changming go up and down, they have to do everything by themselves.
This handsome young mayor has puritan integrity and literati elegance. His slim and tall figure, no matter how tired, gradually overlaps with the famous knight who challenges the windmill wholeheartedly in my eyes.
In the story, the knight hit a wall again and again. Can I tell Shu that the person he loves is now hitting a wall again and again in front of reality? Moreover, worse than the knight, Wei, who was hit hard, has now lost most of his freedom.
But obviously, I don't need to say anything more. On the second day after the roar, Shu has come to Heding Mountain City. At the same time, the reality of Wei hitting a wall has also caused changes that no one expected in advance. The great authority of the Liu family in Liu Changming in Heding Mountain City seems to vanish overnight, and tens of thousands of people's heartfelt strong voice is enough to make Gan Kun turn against him.
I have never really seen people's hearts, only then did I know that Wei, a knight who seems to challenge the windmill alone, actually has strong support behind him.
Everything is going well. Wei was released soon, and in a short time, she was promoted to be the secretary of the municipal party Committee of Hedingshan City. Hearing the news from the loudspeaker, firecrackers rang through the whole Heding Mountain like Chinese New Year, and I smiled unconsciously. ...
I don't know whether Wei knows what role Shu played in his incident, but what does it matter whether he knows or not? Love will make a person willing to pay, but you don't have to get a lot to confirm your love.
Next, a legendary hero saved America, an incredible event. At least after listening to the whole process, I can only suspect that there must be some mysterious telepathy between those two people, which I can't understand or understand. Besides, I'm sure they both think it's worth getting hurt.
Because, I have never seen a man who was attacked and injured by gangsters and was hospitalized with bandages on his hands and head so happy as Wei. Although he always has a cold face, his dark eyes always sparkle with a bit of harsh light. His happiness is like the river flowing under the thick ice in winter. Although it is difficult for people to detect, it is really so cheerful outside the scope of human vision.
Because, I have never seen such a happy Shu. Although he also left Heding Mountain City in a bandage, his eyes couldn't cover up his joy and happiness, his pride and pride that he couldn't wait to ask and announce to the world, and his tone that he couldn't help flying even if he said something irrelevant. ...
Love can be so beautiful. ...
Really, at that time, I really discovered that love can be so pure, so detached, so unprofitable, stripping off all kinds of status and gender differences, leaving only two noble souls to attract each other ... what an enviable feeling. ...
Tomorrow is my wedding day, standing on the top floor of a beautiful building in Shanghai, I stare at the lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window. This year is 1996, and the beautiful love I witnessed is still continuing quietly ... Although it will be four years before they have my luck tomorrow, I still can't help dialing a familiar number-
"Hui, I love you."
"ah? ..................., I love you too. Why do you suddenly say that? "
"Nothing, just suddenly feel really happy, thank you!"
