On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

Zhang Qingqing woke up at 6 a.m. as usual. Since she received my farewell letter two months ago, she confided the truth between the lines, and if there was any hint, I might never come. It was like the letter of her last letter, which made her very uneasy these days. If the roses signed by Chen Yu were not sent at seven o'clock every morning, she didn't even know why she insisted.

During these days, I trained in Myanmar, and Zhang Qingqing's wedding photo has become my belief; Zhang Qingqing, who is in Lihai City, also takes the red rose signed by Chen Yu every day as his belief to stick to it.

After she got up and washed, she changed into a British style dress, white blouse, simple and loose nine point women's trousers, shawl and hair, wearing a pair of red lace up high-heeled shoes on her feet, combined with her beautiful face, a bit like a fashionable office girl.

After Zhang Qingqing came out of the bedroom, Zhang Dagui was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast in the side hall. Xu Shuqin came out of the kitchen with a plate dressed in three poached eggs. When she saw Zhang Qingqing, she said, "Xiaoqing, have breakfast."

"I'm not hungry. I have no appetite."

Zhang Qingqing sat down on the hair sofa in the living room, reached out and turned on the TV with the remote control. She looked absently at the local morning news in Lihai. She couldn't help glancing in the direction of the door, as if she was nervously waiting for something?

Xu Shuqin could not help but frown, reached out and pushed her husband who was reading the newspaper, then nuozhu to Zhang Qingqing in the living room outside and whispered, "Lao Zhang, what's the matter with your daughter? Everything you've done recently is absent-minded. You don't have a date every day, but you dress up at home like going out for a date every day. What's the situation?"

Zhang Dagui glanced at Zhang Qingqing in the living room outside and said faintly, "the woman is to please herself. Xiaoqing dresses up more beautifully, of course, because she misses Chen Yu. It is estimated that she wants to wait for Chen Yu to come back and let Chen Yu see her most beautiful side at the first sight."

Xu Shuqin was a little angry when she heard the speech: "Xiao Qing said that Chen Yu went to the province to participate in what student Olympic mathematics competition. Lao Zhang, I don't understand this mathematics competition. However, does it take more than two months to participate in a mathematics competition?"

Zhang Dagui shook his head and said, "I don't understand learning. Don't ask me this."

Xu Shuqin saw that it was almost seven o'clock. She was a little relieved and said, "however, although Chen Yu is not old, he also knows that he loves his wife. These days, he will regularly ask the florist to send a rose to Xiaoqing. I think Xiaoqing must be waiting for the rose given to her by Chen Yu now."

Zhang Dagui looked at the living room. Sure enough, although Zhang Qingqing was watching TV on the surface, her eyes always couldn't help aiming at the door, and her face seemed very nervous and anxious.

Xu Dagui shook his head and said sadly, "this girl, isn't Chen Yu's roses delivered very punctually at seven o'clock every day? What's her worry? Moreover, even if the roses haven't been delivered, they just haven't received the roses today. Can you be so nervous and care?"

In fact, they don't know that there is a reason for Zhang Qingqing's anxiety and tension. Since I left, Zhang Qingqing went to find Li Mengting again and asked Li Mengting where I had gone?

The shrewd Zhang Qingqing has noticed something wrong, mainly because the farewell letter like a suicide note makes her feel uneasy day and night. Since I went to purgatory in Myanmar, Li Mengting was also anxious. At that time, she couldn't help revealing a little information to Zhang Qingqing. Li Mengting told Zhang Qingqing that I had gone to a dangerous place, a bit like a mercenary training base. Li Mengting also told Zhang Qingqing that if my roses were not sent one day, it would mean that I might not be in the world and let Zhang Qingqing forget me.

Therefore, receiving red roses every day is not a simple rose for Zhang Qingqing. It is more a signal that I am still alive. She is afraid that the red roses sent on time will stop suddenly every day.

The clock hanging on the wall has pointed to seven o'clock, but the knock of the flower delivery boy in the florist hasn't sounded yet

"Wow"

Zhang Qingqing got up from the sofa and rushed to the balcony outside the living room. She accidentally knocked over a plate of fruit on the tea table on the ground. She ignored it. She went straight out of the balcony and looked hard at the downstairs yard. She looked everywhere in the street at the gate of the community in the distance, trying to find a staff member who sent flowers to a florist. Unfortunately, in the morning, the pedestrians in the street were in a hurry, but they didn't see any Florist staff. Zhang Qingqing could no longer control her emotions. She squatted powerlessly in the corner of the balcony, buried her face on her knees, twitched her shoulders gently and cried quietly

Zhang Dagui and Xu Shuqin didn't know what had happened. They hurried from the side hall. They were shocked to see their daughter like this. Xu Shuqin hurriedly asked, "Xiaoqing, what's the matter? What's the matter? Tell your parents what happened?"

Zhang Qingqing was comforted and questioned by her parents. Instead, she cried even more sadly: "Woo woo, Chen Yu, he won't come back... People just care too much about him. They don't want him to live a life of knives and blood all day. They just get a promise that he won't mix any more... Woo woo, I just want him to keep me... Why did he do this, why didn't he keep me, why did he leave by himself... Don't he know... Do I love him so much ……”

Zhang Dagui and Xu Shuqin's faces changed dramatically when they heard the speech. Although they didn't know what their daughter said, they had faintly realized that there seemed to be something wrong between their daughter and their son-in-law. The two old men reached out to help Zhang Qingqing, who was crying and helpless, speak slowly in the room, but Zhang Qingqing thought I would never come back. The whole person's mood collapsed, buried his head in his knee and cried with pear blossom and rain.

Just when Zhang Dagui and Xu Shuqin were at a loss, suddenly the doorbell outside the living room rang.

Xu Shuqin frowned. As she opened the door, she said angrily, "who's that early in the morning?"

When the door opened, I was wearing a beige T-shirt and a pair of gray slacks, a pair of white ball shoes, holding a bouquet of 99 roses in my hand, standing at the door a little cramped and shy.

When Xu Shuqin opened the door, she suddenly saw me, who was slender, beautiful and a little shy, and was stunned.

"Mom, well, I'm back -"

When I saw my mother-in-law looking at me with wide eyes, I couldn't help scratching my hair and greeted her with a little guilty. After all, I was just a door-to-door son-in-law. I disappeared for two months without telling my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I don't know if the two elders would think I ran away from home and be very angry?

Xu Shuqin looked at me with wide eyes. It was different from the scene I imagined that she would scold me angrily. Instead of scolding me, she suddenly rippled an excited smile on her face. She hurried back and shouted to Zhang Dagui and Zhang Qingqing outside the balcony of the living room: "come back, Xiaoqing, Chen Yu, don't cry..."

Zhang Qingqing, who had squatted in the corner of the balcony and buried her head on her knees and cried like a child, was stunned at the speech. She struggled quickly and ran into the living room in two steps. Then she saw me holding red roses at the door and smiling at her heartlessly.

"Chen Yu?"

Zhang Qingqing's pretty face is still full of pear blossoms and rain. She looks at me and asks foolishly.

I greeted her, handed her the roses in my hand, and said carelessly, "I'm sorry, Qingqing. I took a pee after breakfast. It took a little time. Didn't I come back late?"

Zhang Qingqing's pretty face flashed a sense of killing. She said softly, "come closer, I'll tell you."

I put my face to her, but Zhang Qingqing suddenly put her hand around my neck, opened her small mouth and bit me hard on my lips, which made me cry.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law stood by and looked at each other. Finally, the mother-in-law looked embarrassed and pulled her husband's clothes, nuzui outside the hall door. Her father-in-law understood that the two old men quietly walked out of the door, closed the door by the way, and deliberately created a world for Zhang Qingqing and me.
