The old lady paused for a moment, then continued.
"Speaking of it is all old things, that is the umbrella my husband gave me more than [-] years ago...
At that time, I was working on the edge of the West Lake. My husband was a new employee assigned by the unit. When he came on the first day, I was responsible for receiving him. As a result, he just stood at the door of the unit when he saw me. He didn't move at the door, just stood there in a daze, but at this moment, another person rushed in from the outside. He didn't react at all, and was directly knocked to the ground.At that time, I wondered if this person was stupid in reading..." The old lady looked at the lake in the distance, as if lost in memory, with a smile in her eyes.
Lian Ge didn't speak, just glanced at the old lady, then at the figure beside the old lady,
That figure was also like the old lady at the moment, with a knowing smile on her face, but what she was looking at was not the West Lake, but the eyes of the old lady.
"...Later, I discovered that every time he sees me, he blushes, which is so funny that every time I see him, I want to tease him.
At that time, I didn't know why, but I would meet him every time on the way to work... It was only after decades that he slipped his tongue, saying that he got up an hour earlier every morning and deliberately took a detour by another road. "
Said, the old lady smiled,
"One morning, I met him again on the way to work, and I walked over to tease him. As usual, when he saw me, his face turned red, and he hesitated and couldn't speak. I Just laughing beside me, I don't know why I am so happy.
I remember that day when I went out, the weather was fine, and when I met him, he was still holding an umbrella in his hand, and I laughed at him.
As a result, I was only halfway there, and the sky changed as it said, and suddenly it started to rain.
I thought he was going to take the opportunity to make fun of me, but instead of saying anything, he opened his umbrella and covered it over my head.
We just shared an umbrella and ran towards the unit in a hurry.
As a result, when I arrived at the unit, my clothes were not wet, but he was completely soaked. "
As she spoke, the smile in the old lady's eyes grew stronger.
"After that, he asked me out. Guess what excuse he made. He said that he just came to West Lake, he didn't know the surrounding environment well, and it was not convenient for him to carry out work. He hoped that I could show him around the West Lake.
At that time, I knew what he was thinking, but I still agreed.
He and I came out of the unit and walked along the shore of West Lake, chatting while walking.
As we chatted, I discovered that he was actually not that dumb, on the contrary he knew a lot.
When we reached almost this place, I said I was tired from walking and wanted to take a rest, so we found a place around here and sat down. "
The old lady turned her eyes and looked around,
"At that time, on the broken bridge and by the lake, it was not as lively as it is now. We sat by the lake, blowing the wind, and chatting...
Also that day, he told me that he liked me, and I said I knew, but I couldn't agree because I didn't know him well enough.
After that, he pursued me for a year before I agreed, and we talked for another three years before we got married. "
"When he told me he was going to marry me, he gave me a gift, guess what?
It was the oiled paper umbrella. At that time, I still thought that this umbrella had a bad meaning, "umbrella" was "loose", and there is no way to get "loose" when you get married.
But I agreed to marry him.Because I know that as long as I share an umbrella with him, he will never let me get wet. "
The old lady said, smiled, then turned her head to look at Lian Ge again,
"Young man, I'm sorry to let you hear some old things."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, shook his head,
Glancing at the figure beside the old lady, she looked away,
"I think it's quite interesting, a beautiful relationship."
"Actually, it's not that beautiful, or no matter how beautiful the relationship is, it is inevitable to encounter some bumps." The old lady shook her head, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Otherwise, this oil-paper umbrella should be placed at home instead of not knowing where it is."
After a slight pause, the old lady continued,
"It was two or three years after my marriage with him, and it was time for us to have children. But at that time, he was busy with work all day and had no time to accompany me.
At first I could bear it, thinking about men, it’s normal to be busy with career, but later on, he came home later and later, although he didn’t stay out all night, but I was still getting more and more angry.
Finally one night, when he came back drunk, I couldn't help but say a few words to him, but he didn't reply, but seeing him like that made me more and more angry, and I couldn't help arguing with him shelf.
When he got to the back, he couldn't help it anymore, and told me that he wanted to provide me with a good enough life and a better environment for our future children.
In fact, I thought he was right at that time, but I was still so angry that I ran out of the house with the oil-paper umbrella.
I ran and came to this place again, looking at the oil-paper umbrella in my hand, thinking that he didn't come out to chase me, the more I thought about it, the more sad I became.
Right on the edge of the West Lake, a hole was dug, the umbrella was thrown in, and buried. "
Saying that, the old lady had a smile in her eyes,
"It was at this moment that my husband chased after him. When I saw him, he was covered in ashes and had a bump on his forehead... and he couldn't get angry anymore."
"However, the umbrella was still not dug out. We agreed that when both of us retire, we will come over together and dig out the umbrella."
"Now...he passed away a few years ago, and I can't find where this umbrella is... Even if it can be found, it must have rotted long ago."
As the old lady spoke, she shook her head and cast her eyes on the West Lake in the distance.
Chapter 115 Miss You
"Boy, you can see me right?"
After the old lady finished speaking, the figure beside the old lady turned around,
This is an old man, dressed like an old lady, exactly the same neat and meticulous.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old man, and nodded slightly.
"Young man, can you tell her for me where is the oil-paper umbrella?" The old man looked at Lian Ge with pleading eyes and said flatteringly.
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly and nodded again.
"That oil-paper umbrella is buried under the wooden bench we are sitting on now." The old man said quickly.
After nodding his head to indicate to the old man that he knew it, Lian Ge turned his gaze to look at the old lady.
And the old lady also looked away from the lake, looked at Lian Ge again,
"Young man, I'm sorry, I know that you young people don't like to hear these rotten things about Chen Guzi, so I told you so much."
Hearing this, Lian Ge just shook his head,
And the old lady looked at Lian Ge with her cloudy eyes, and asked hesitantly,
"Young man, were you talking to someone just now... Hey, maybe I'm confused, sometimes I feel like he's still there.
I'm not afraid of your jokes, young man, just now I felt that he was sitting next to me. "
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled, didn't answer, just glanced at the old man who was still sitting on the bench, then looked away,
After glancing at the old lady, Lian Ge stood up,
"Old lady, I told you just now, tell me what you are looking for, and I will help you find what you are looking for. Now that I have finished listening to the story, old lady, are you still looking for that oil-paper umbrella? "
"Young man, thank you, but don't worry about it. Where can I find such a big place?"
The old lady shook her head,
"Actually, I feel that the oil-paper umbrella is buried under this bench." Lian Ge said with a slight smile.
"Young man, I am old and confused, and you are also confused. The place where I was buried was by the lake, but now it is still some distance from the shore of the lake." The old lady shook her head and said.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't speak, and glanced at the shovel lying on the grass next to him,
"Old lady, borrow the shovel you brought."
"Use it, use it, but you are really digging, young man." The old lady stood up, looked at Lian Ge and hesitated, and wanted to stop, but seeing Lian Ge's affirmative appearance, she couldn't help holding a little hope in her heart.
Smiling slightly, Lian Ge picked up the shovel and shoveled on the ground behind the bench according to the old man's words.
The old lady hesitated for a while, then came over.
……
After a few shovels down, a small pit appeared on the ground, and after a few shovels deeper down, Lian Ge slowed down his movements.
Squatting down, shortly holding the shovel handle, after carefully peeling off the last layer of soil in the pit,
A long wooden box appeared in sight, and the entire wooden box was wrapped in a thick transparent plastic bag.
On the side, the old lady who was also watching the bottom of the pit saw something appearing at the bottom of the pit. She was a little surprised at first, but then she was puzzled.
"Young man, we have dug up something buried by others."
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't reply, but only glanced at the figure of the old man next to the old lady. The old man was staring at the wooden box at this moment, a little excited, seeing Lian Ge's gaze, he nodded emphatically.
Seeing this, Lian Ge smiled, looked away,
He didn't answer the old lady's question, and continued to hold the shovel to push away the soil around the wooden box.
"Hula..."
Stretching out his hand, Lian Ge picked up the two ends of the wooden box, lifted the wooden box from the bottom of the pit, and the soil beside the tunnel rolled down.
"Plop...Pop! Stab...stab."
After patting the soil accumulated on the wooden box and tearing off the thick layers of plastic bags wrapped around it, Lian Ge handed the wooden box to the old lady next to him.
"Old lady, open it and have a look, this box should be what you want to find."
The old lady subconsciously reached out to take the wooden box, and then looked at Lian Ge with even more doubts,
"Young man, this..."
"Let's open it first."
Lian Ge smiled slightly and shook his head.
Hearing this, the old lady hesitated for a while, but still turned her eyes to the wooden box.
"Clap."
Stretching out her hand, the old lady hesitantly pulled the button of the box, and then slowly opened the lid.
The moment the box lid was opened, the old lady's movements stopped, and she looked at the things in the box in a daze.
The next moment, the old lady loosened the lid of the box and sat down on the bench again with the box in her hand.
"It's this umbrella, yes, it's this umbrella..."
Putting the box on her lap, the old lady took out an oil-paper umbrella from the box with both hands trembling slightly,
"The place where the paint fell off the handle, and this red cloth I tied up, and this..."
The old lady was excited, stroking the oil-paper umbrella over and over again, and on the bench beside her, the figure of the old man looked at her, grinning cheerfully.
On the side, watching this scene, Lian Ge didn't make a sound, and waited quietly while smiling knowingly.
After a while,
The old lady's excited mood calmed down a little, and doubts followed from the bottom of her heart.
"I obviously buried it directly like that, why are there boxes in it, and these plastic wraps..."
The old lady murmured in a low voice, not sure if she was asking herself or Lian Ge.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, and then turned his gaze to the figure beside the old lady,
"That night, after I coaxed her back, the next night, when I came back from overtime work, I found a box and dug out the oil-paper umbrella again. I was afraid that it would wait until we dug again. It's already rotten..." The old man looked at the old lady and explained with a smile on his face.
"You should tell her yourself." Lian Ge said with a smile.
"Young man, what did you say?" The old lady raised her head suspiciously, looked at Lian Ge, and then followed Lian Ge's line of sight to look at her side.
"Old lady, didn't you say before that sometimes you can still feel that your lover is still there? In fact, this feeling is not wrong."
After speaking, Lian Ge didn't explain further, but directly drove the mana and used the spell,
"Decree, open the eyes of yin and yang!"
With a low shout, Lian Ge flicked his fingers, allowing the old lady to temporarily gain the ability to see through yin and yang.
Then, the old lady felt that something changed in front of her eyes.
Some looked at Lian Ge with more doubts,
Lian Ge looked at the old lady and smiled, then looked sideways at the old lady.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady suddenly reacted and turned her head to look to her side.
