Back in 1981: Marrying the love of your life

Time always passes quietly and inadvertently.

The sunset disappeared and the crescent rose from the other end.

Chen Xiuqing sat on the maza, holding his cheeks in his hand, and looked at the gate blankly.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you want?" Su Mu opened his mouth to ask, but in fact, his heart was the same as Mingjing.

Because in the afternoon, he entered the gate of the Chen family, and the first words of his mother-in-law Hu Guifen were: "You came just right, I was thinking of letting your eldest brother and second brother go to you at night, tomorrow Xiuqing's birthday, you two come to the house for dinner."

Therefore, why the daughter-in-law stared at the door in a daze, the answer was naturally obvious.

Chen Xiuqing came back to his senses and said in surprise, "Why did it get dark so quickly?"

"At the point, it's not supposed to be dark." Su Mu said: "I'll go and close the gate, you go upstairs first." "

Don't." Chen Xiuqing stopped: "Husband, you go upstairs first, I'll sit for a while and then go up, and I'll lock the door later."

"Okay, I'll go up first." Su Mu promised and walked up the steps.

Chen Xiuqing stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard, during which he also walked to the gate many times and looked out of the door.

Half an hour later.

She raised her wrist and glanced at the time, making sure that the eldest brother and second brother probably wouldn't come.

Chen Xiuqing locked the door, although there was a little loss in his heart, but he didn't feel anything.

The eldest brother and second brother are also very busy, maybe they will come tomorrow morning.

Going upstairs, I walked into the bedroom, and saw that Su Mu was already lying on the bed.

"Daughter-in-law, I have washed my feet, you can wash and sleep later." Su Mu said.

Chen Xiuqingdai frowned slightly, "Husband, why did you sleep so early today?" "

A little sleepy." Su Mu replied casually, deliberately yawned, and then waved his hand: "Good night, I went to sleep first." "

...," Chen Xiuqing.

She instinctively felt abnormal, but it quickly turned into distress.

He used to only need to worry about one garment factory, but now he needs to worry about four, he must be very tired, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiuqing walked to the side of the bed and pulled the quilt up for him, his eyes full of tenderness.

Afraid of disturbing Su Mu's sleep, Chen Xiuqing washed in the kitchen downstairs and went upstairs lightly.

She extinguished the kerosene lamp at the end of the bed, lay down on the inside of the bed, looked at the back of her man, and suddenly felt that she couldn't sleep.

In the past, at this time, it was when the two were chatting, the chat was over, and the story would be told.

Now, without Su Mu's bedtime story, Chen Xiuqing felt like something was missing.

Unable to sleep, she simply sat up, put on her coat, re-lit the kerosene lamp, sat on the edge of the bed, opened the cabinet, took out the small clothes that had not been finished before, and began to sew stitch by stitch.

When she finally felt sleepy, she put the needle and thread and clothes in the cupboard, extinguished the kerosene lamp, and lay down on the bed.

Then, it was discovered... The sleepiness is gone.

Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but feel a little crazy, obviously he already felt sleepy just now, but why wasn't he sleepy as soon as he lay down?

Thinking about it, she thinks it's still related to habit.

I have to say, habits are really scary.

In the past, every day before going to bed, Su Mu would hold her in his arms and tell stories softly, but now her habits suddenly changed, and naturally she couldn't sleep.

Wait a minute!

Chen Xiuqing suddenly thought of a question, which made her brows furrow tighter and tighter.

For a long time, she opened her mouth softly and whispered: "Husband, after I fell asleep before, will you also be unable to sleep like me?"

In the darkness, Su Mu's eyes opened suddenly, and then slowly closed, resisting the urge to roll over and hug his daughter-in-law.

There is no supper, no bedtime story, but her daughter-in-law not only has no dissatisfaction, but still cares, in the past, after she fell asleep listening to the story, whether she would not be able to sleep when she told the story.

The four words of pampering and arrogance seem to never appear on their daughter-in-law.

Such a daughter-in-law, why is he willing not to love?

Just as he was thinking, he heard a low and inaudible voice behind him: "A sheep... Two sheep..." Su

Mu suddenly couldn't help but hesitate, thinking about whether to end pretending to sleep and coax his daughter-in-law to sleep.

But in order to ensure the level of surprise, he decided to endure.

......

Chen Xiuqing couldn't remember how many sheep he fell asleep last night.

Confused, he opened his eyes, but found that there was no one around him.

She slowly sat up and looked at the light outside the curtains, knowing that it was already morning.

I got dressed and went downstairs, only to find that today seemed to be exceptionally quiet.

According to the past, this time is when the family is eating, but today there is no figure next to the table.

When I was wondering, I heard a "click".

I saw Su Nan hurriedly come out of the room and said: "Xiuqing, my father and mother went to the field early in the morning, today the field is busy, I didn't have time to cook, I have to go to the town quickly, you go home to deal with breakfast."

"Oh, by the way, someone just came to find Su Mu, and he asked me to tell you, you don't have to go to the garment factory today."

After that, he hurriedly ran out.

"Eh, sister, you..."

Chen Xiuqing looked confused, completely confused about the situation.

Thinking of what Su Nan said just now, she went out of the house, locked the door, and walked towards the Chen family.

A few minutes later, the door was close at hand.

Seeing the lock hanging outside the door, Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but feel a pang of loss.

She is not a hypocritical person, but being forgotten by her family still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but think of the New Year, when the girlfriend who married out in the same village returned to the village, she sighed that "the daughter who married off has no home, the in-laws' family treats you as an outsider, and the mother-in-law treats you as a guest".

"Whew..." Taking

a long breath, Chen Xiuqing forcibly interrupted the thought in his mind and turned around and returned the same way.

It's just a birthday, and it's not a big deal... She comforted herself so much in her heart.

However, the loss that should have been there did not dissipate because of this.

Before I knew it, I had returned home.

Chen Xiuqing was just about to step closer to the courtyard, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When he just went out, he obviously locked the door.

Looking at the open courtyard door in front of her, she couldn't help but panic a little.

From the time the door was locked to the time he returned, it was only a few minutes, and the donkey cart was not there, so it was unlikely that Su Nan would go and return.

Could it be that there are thieves in the house?

Thinking of this possibility, she hurriedly took two steps back, turned around and ran to the village to call for someone.

As a result, as soon as he ran two steps, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Daughter-in-law, the longevity noodles are ready, where are you in such a hurry?" "

Huh?" Chen Xiuqing turned around and saw Su Mu standing outside the door with a smile, the sunlight shining on his side face, making his facial features appear more angular.

Chen Xiuqing couldn't react a little, and asked, "Aren't you going out?" "
