In the middle of the night, Mrs. Lin called. Lin Shiwei's grandfather had suddenly passed away without any warning. The usually healthy old man was gone overnight.
When Yu Fengcheng and Lin Shiwei arrived at the Lin family's house, Mrs. Lin was sitting alone in the living room helplessly. Her face was dark blue, her lips were pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.
" Mom!" Lin Shiwei cried when she saw her mother.
"Weiwei." Mrs. Lin slowly raised her head. Her cloudy eyes rolled and tears rolled down." Your grandfather is gone."”Mrs. Lin said hoarsely.
Yu Fengcheng had already arrived at Old Master Lin's bedroom. His body was already stiff. The chirping of cicadas in early summer was annoying. At this moment, when everything was silent, the usually noisy chirping of cicadas was like a horn sending off Old Master Lin.
"Mom, don't cry." Lin Shiwei wiped away Mrs. Lin's tears, but her tears kept flowing.
"Go and see your grandfather." Mrs. Lin supported her head with one hand and waved at her with the other.
Lin Shiwei entered the room and saw Yu Fengcheng pressing the blanket over Old Master Lin's head." Grandpa.”Lin Shiwei called out softly. Yu Fengcheng stopped what he was doing and reached out to her.
Lin Shiwei walked to the bed and gently lifted the blanket, stroking her grandfather's silver sideburns.
"Help your grandfather change his clothes." When Mrs. Lin came in, half of her fragility dissipated.
Yu Fengcheng changed his clothes. It was his first time changing the clothes of a dead person. He was solemn throughout the entire process, even more cautious than when he signed the multi-billion-dollar contract.
Yu Fengcheng, Lin Shiwei, and the rest of the Yu family helped the Lin family with the funeral. The eulogy on the day of the funeral was written by Old Master Yu.
" He is a hero, a good warrior of the party and the people…" Most of the people present were younger generations. Only Old Master Lin had come from that era. Old Master Yu was the only one who was deeply touched. He remembered that he was still a young boy back then and could not even read. It was the young class monitor who taught him how to write his name stroke by stroke.
"I had a younger brother, but he died early. Otherwise, he would have been as old as you.”The words that Old Master Lin had said to him decades ago were still ringing in his ears.
"I acknowledge you as my younger brother.”The gentle and delicate little squad leader treated him the best. He still remembered the few dates in his military coat. Because of his low blood sugar, the little squad leader went to his hometown and exchanged his longevity lock for a handful of dates.
Old Master Yu wiped away his tears. The person who had once shed blood, sweat, and not shed tears was suddenly choked by fate and choked to tears.
……
Time is fleeting, words are exhausted, do not wait.
There were still two things that the world could not tolerate: a beautiful woman in her twilight years and a hero in her prime. It was like two sins. Time would bring everything, but it would also take everything away. The once unrivaled beauty of the film and television industry was now in her twilight years. The world's microscopic eyes could not miss a trace of age on her face. Once they discovered it, their words were full of ridicule and lamentation. The heroes who once shed their blood on the battlefield were old and gone, but few people knew. That was why people were so afraid of the iron pear of time, afraid of your frown and my white hair.
"Wind City." Lin Shiwei softly called Yu Fengcheng's name in her sleep. Yu Fengcheng opened his eyes in the darkness and caressed Lin Shiwei's back, pulling her into his arms.
Lin Shiwei's grandfather's ashes were buried together with his grandmother. A line of words was engraved on the tombstone. Spring, summer, autumn, winter, year after year, do not ask, north, south, east and west.
Old Master Lin had an old house and a few acres of land when he was alive. When the mother and daughter of the Lin family were packing up in the old house that day, they found a wooden box whose color had fallen off and could not be distinguished from its original color. Lin Shiwei patted the dust off and showed it to Mrs. Lin.
"Mom, look, what is this?"
Mrs. Lin took the box and shook her head." I don't know either. Perhaps it's a poem written by your grandfather.”Old Master Lin was born into a scholarly family. He had read a lot of books since he was young and loved to write poems and essays.
The small lock on the wooden box was already mottled. Lin Shiwei pulled it hard and the lock opened.
Inside the box, there was a thick stack of paper covered in a thin layer of dust.
"It really is." As Lin Shiwei spoke, she carefully took out the paper that had been sealed for many years.
Shaking off the dust, he gently flipped open a yellowed piece of paper and read a few lines." It's a letter.”Lin Shiwei realized.
" Youcheng, Father disagrees with our relationship and wants to marry me off to someone else in spring. It's often said that marriage should be decided by the matchmaker according to the parents 'orders. However, I was fortunate enough to meet you in my life, so it's difficult for me to follow the ancient path. I know that you didn't mean it, so I went south to find you. I've made up my mind. If you betray me, it's all my fault. I won't punish you. Jiayin."
After Lin Shiwei finished reading the letter, she was stunned for a moment and asked Mrs. Lin,"Is your name Jiayin?"
"No." Mrs. Lin turned around and denied," Your grandmother's name is Wang Xiuhua.”
Lin Shiwei nodded silently. She felt a little complicated because her grandfather's name was Lin Youcheng. The Youcheng in the letter should be her grandfather.
Lin Shiwei brought the box back. When Yu Fengcheng came to pick them up, he saw Lin Shiwei holding the mottled wooden box and sitting on the threshold, deep in thought.
"Cough!" Yu Fengcheng coughed heavily, interrupting Lin Shiwei's thoughts.
On the way back, Mrs. Lin remained silent because she was sad. Lin Shiwei and Yu Fengcheng didn't want to make too much noise, afraid that they would wake Mrs. Lin up. The two of them communicated with each other through their eyes.
"What is this?" Yu Fengcheng pointed at the wooden box and asked Lin Shiwei when they got home.
"I believe you. I'm not sure either." Lin Shiwei wiped the box clean and took out the paper inside. She placed it by her legs and continued to read.
Yu Fengcheng also sat down with her and picked up a piece of paper to read." Jiayin."”Yu Fengcheng read it out loud." Your grandmother?”
"No." Lin Shiwei shook her head, feeling that she was approaching a secret.
The two of them spent the entire afternoon reading the stack of letters. They looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
The general context was already very clear. A girl named Jiayin disregarded her parents 'objections and married Lin Shiwei's grandfather. They were separated as soon as they got married because of the war. When Lin Shiwei's grandfather returned from the war, Jiayin had already disappeared. From then on, her life and death were unknown. Later on, Lin Shiwei's grandfather married her grandmother. From then on, Jiayin became a secret that could never be let go.
There were letters from Lin Youcheng and Jiayin, as well as Lin Youcheng's diary. Every word was heart-wrenching and carved into the bones.
Lin Shiwei cried out in silence. She was uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was because she felt sorry for her lovesickness, or because her grandmother couldn't get her true feelings in her life.
Yu Fengcheng patted her back and gently comforted her.
" Hello?" Yu Fengcheng picked up the phone and was called away after a few words. Lin Shiwei sat on the spot for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. Suddenly, a sentence flashed across his mind. Every man had a secret that he could not let go of for the rest of his life. Lin Shiwei suddenly felt a chill around her body. She raised her head and saw the picture frame that was restrained by the luxuriant leaves standing there quietly.
She shook her head and chased away the uneasiness and anxiety that had suddenly surged up in her heart.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:09120183:43AM
