Chapter 164: Once upon a time, there was fish every year
The two elderly people have no children and usually have a meager income, which is enough to make ends meet. Their family is very poor.
However, Liang Chengyu and Mi Youyou noticed that there were some fresh fruits and dairy products next to the old man's table.
As soon as the two arrived, the two old people enthusiastically pulled them into the house, took out fresh fruits, and insisted that they taste them before leaving.
The two couldn't refuse, so they stayed for a while.
"Grandpa, how old are you this year?" Liang Chengyu chatted with the old man.
The old man smiled and made an “eight” gesture: “Eighty-six…”
"Oh, that's a long life. I see you are in good health!"
The old man waved his hands and said, "I can't do it these years. My legs and feet are not good anymore. I can't walk far. Sometimes, I need my wife to support me! My wife hates me!"
In the kitchen, the old woman's voice came immediately:
"You old ghost, just keep talking nonsense! When did I ever dislike you? Isn't it because you dislike me because I'm old and ugly?"
The old man shrank his neck: "Where did I say such a thing? How dare I! You are the most beautiful, okay?"
The old woman laughed twice and ignored him.
The old man smiled and shook his head helplessly.
Liang Chengyu looked at the old man's happiness that was hard to hide, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
In the kitchen, Mi Youyou helped the old lady wash the fruits.
Looking at the old woman with white hair but neat clothes and a vigorous spirit, Mi Youyou felt envious:
"Grandma, you and Grandpa are so loving!"
The old woman was a little embarrassed: "What kind of love is this? We are already old, so we should just make do with each other!"
She said this, but couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Mi Youyou asked curiously: "Grandma, how did you get together with Grandpa at that time? Who chased who?"
The old woman laughed and said:
"What pursuit was there? We were just introduced to each other, and we felt like we were compatible, so we got together!"
"How many years have you two been together?"
"Oh, I can't remember clearly, it must be about... forty, no, more than fifty years."
"The old man is eight or nine years older than me. When I married him, he was already in his thirties!"
The old woman said this and looked at her kindly:
"How long have you been married, girl? I see that the guy in your family seems to be much older than you!"
Mi Youyou blurted out: "We have been married for more than nine years and eight months..."
Indeed, Liang Chengyu is eleven years older than her.
When she was 23 years old and at the peak of her career, she married Liang Chengyu, a famous singer.
Before they knew it, they had been together for more than ten years since they started dating.
And the fact that she could remember the time so clearly was also thanks to Liang Chengyu.
Liang Chengyu was older, and that had its advantages. When she was still young, Liang Chengyu was able to handle all the details properly. She did have to admit that Liang Chengyu had spoiled her.
At the same time, Liang Chengyu is a person with a strong sense of ritual. He would bring her a gift on their wedding anniversary, birthday, and various important holidays.
It has been like this for ten years.
It is precisely because of this that she remembers the date so clearly.
but……
Mi Youyou was in a trance for a moment:
When did the gifts he personally gave turn into something his agent casually brought?
When did the love between them become a routine like the characters in a script?
The old woman didn't notice her strange expression and continued:
"They have been married for many years. I think that an old couple is a family, even though they are not blood relatives, they are the closest family members!
At first, my old man and I were like strangers, we were together without falling in love. Later, as we got along, I gradually found that he was a good person. He never let me do any heavy work at home, and he would always ask me to discuss any important matters.
Even then, when I said I wanted to help the poor kids in town and my family was poor, the old man still supported me. Don't think I didn't know, he secretly worked harder to earn money to give to me!
These fruits and vegetables are all brought to us by the children themselves when they grew up!
Now that I think about it, it seems that I didn’t manage it very carefully, but in the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed…”
Fifty years?
Mi Youyou felt an inexplicable surge of sadness and fear in her heart.
Can her marriage with Brother Yu last that long?
When the old man talked about his old wife, there was a hint of disdain on his face, but his tone was full of joy:
"Don't be fooled by the wrinkles on her face now. When she was young, she was very pretty!
The whole town knows that she is beautiful, and there are so many guys who want to pursue her!
They all say that I am an old man who is greedy for young girls, but hey, I am the one who married the old woman, so let them say whatever they want!"
"Hey, Chengyu, I see, your wife is not very old, right?"
Liang Chengyu was a little embarrassed, but after the embarrassment he was suddenly stunned.
Why would he feel embarrassed?
When he got married, didn’t he cry with joy because he married such a young and beautiful girl?
Now, why did he feel that it was embarrassing to marry a wife who was so much younger than him?
It seemed that, somehow, he turned this embarrassment into resentment and took it out on Youyou?
How did they get to this point today?
The old man saw that he was embarrassed and said with an experienced look:
"You're not still embarrassed, are you? What's there to be embarrassed about? You're just being pretentious!
"Just live your life well, don't worry about what others say, they don't live with you? Am I right?"
Liang Chengyu came back to his senses and nodded.
"I, an old man, will teach you some more experience. Please don't be disgusted!"
"I couldn't ask for more!"
"I'm telling you, first, be smart; second, learn to admit your mistakes; third, don't let her become someone else!"
Liang Chengyu was stunned.
"The fruits are here!" Mi Youyou's sweet and soft voice came.
Serve the washed fruit on the table.
Liang Chengyu looked at the soft, white little hands, and as usual, he picked up an apple that he liked and placed it in front of him, then he sat down and picked up another one himself.
He was in a daze.
He raised his eyes and inadvertently caught his wife's red eyes, and his heart suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle.
He couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to go out for a while."
Mi Youyou frowned slightly, watched him leave without saying anything, then put on a smiling face and chatted with the two old people.
Liang Chengyu refused the camera to follow him, turned to the corner, took out a cigarette and started smoking.
a...
He recalled the quarrel they had had a few days ago.
He felt that they didn't act well enough, that they shouldn't behave like that, that they should do this and that; she felt that he was too fake, that he didn't love her anymore.
He thought she was being unreasonable.
Two...
They all took it for granted that showing affection on the show was a form of acting. However, it was clear that it was their normal state of being together a long time ago.
He never felt that he didn't love Youyou anymore.
He just wanted to be more perfect and perform better outside. Is that wrong?
But he seemed to have changed again.
three...
Youyou has also changed.
He fell in love with Youyou because she was different from his previous girlfriends in the same circle. She was very smart and pure. Like a little deer, she immediately fell into his heart.
He loves her very much and treasures her very much even after they get married. He really dotes on his darling wife.
But, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had not seen her smile as recklessly, thoroughly and purely as she did at that time for a long, long time.
Half a pack of cigarettes...
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The old smoker was choked.
He suddenly started everything officially. At the wedding he prepared with all his heart, he cried out his vows:
——"I, Liang Chengyu, am so lucky to marry such a good wife... I really, really... I I I..."
He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
——"I swear, I will pamper Youyou for the rest of my life! I will never let you suffer any injustice! Youyou, marry me!"
Liang Chengyu suddenly covered his face.
ten years……
He seemed to have forgotten what he said at the beginning, and the Youyou from the beginning was also lost by him...
