It was a sleepless night. A family that had finally reunited after more than twenty years of separation sat together and exchanged heated glances and words. Han Jia still didn't speak, but her eyes were no longer just melancholy, but also filled with relief. Her eyes never left Liu Yunluo for almost a second, her eyes like a baby's warm little hands, greedily touching all parts of her mother. Liu Yunluo felt her daughter's touch. When she answered Han Hua and Han Liang's questions, she looked at her daughter from time to time. She not only touched Han Jia with her eyes, but also touched her with her hands. As long as her hand is not held by Han Liang and Han Hua, she will definitely hold Han Jia's hand. Han Jia docilely allowed her mother to hold her hand without any resistance or struggle. It was a level of trust and dependence that she had almost never seen in her memory. For the first time in many years, she allowed someone to hold her hand casually.

Han Liang was eager to know everything about his mother. His questions were like the torrential rain in summer, many and fierce. Hanwha mainly listens and asks questions when he doesn't understand. Over the past twenty years, there have been so many things that need to be told, so many feelings that need to be expressed, and so many doubts that need to be clarified. Looking at the children's inquiring eyes, Liu Yunluo knew that he must look back on the unbearable past again to let the children know the ins and outs of the matter.

One day in June 1948, Qingqiao held a farewell party for cadres going south at the train station. Liu Yunluo and Han Dexin came to see Liu Tianluo off.

Liu Tianluo put on the yellow military uniform, and all the cadres who went south belonged to the army establishment. His luggage had been put in the car and he came down to say his final goodbyes to his sister and Han Dexin.

Liu Tianluo looked at Han Dexin: "I will leave my sister to you, remember what you said, and protect her for life. If you don't fulfill your promise, I will come back to settle the score with you!"

Han Dexin smiled and gently pulled her over. Liu Yunluo: "Don't worry, in the name of my classmates and comrades-in-arms, I will cherish Yunluo more than I cherish myself." No one laughed, and everyone became heavy involuntarily.

Liu Tianluo said to Han Dexin: "I have something to talk to my sister alone, don't you mind."

Han Dexin made a gesture of invitation with understanding.

Liu Tianluo pulled Liu Yunluo to the large round pillar of the station, looked at his sister, and said seriously: "Yunluo, I have to leave. After leaving, I don't know when I will come back or if I can come back. Nanfang The reactionary forces are still very strong, and we have to suppress the bandits. The danger is always there. I don't care. The day I ran away from home, I was ready to die. If I could die generously without any worries. Today I feel a little hesitant. Not for myself, but for you. My parents gave you to me, so I should take responsibility. Sister, do you know? In the past few days, I was even thinking about why I didn’t agree with you to stay. "My parents are leaving. Is this the right decision? Is it too emotional?" Liu Yunluo grabbed Liu Tianluo's clothes in panic.

Liu Tianluo smiled and looked into the distance: "If they come back one day in the future, I must hand you over to them completely. But now, I have to leave you. I don't worry, I know Dexin will Take care of you. You must also learn to take care of yourself. You are too innocent. This is what I can’t let go of. Sometimes political struggles are cruel. Do you remember that I once told you that you should never tell others that your parents are gone. The United States only said that they died in a car accident. Do you remember?"

Liu Yunluo nodded: "Remember."

"No one can tell, including your future husband, Han Dexin."

"Why? Don't you believe him? Brother."

"No, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Only the two of us know about this matter in this world, and no third person can know about it, so Good for everyone. You are now a member of the Communist Party. You know that some people in the party have opinions about people from bourgeois background. From now on, you will only say that your father is a company employee. Remember, sister. Make an oath to me." Listening to his brother's words, Lin Hua's figure flashed in Liu Yunluo's mind.

Liu Yunluo looked at his brother, wondering why he would use this ancient method. The look in his brother's eyes showed no sign of joking. She believed in Tianluo, and what her brother said was never wrong. She also became serious: "I swear, I will not tell anyone, not even Dexin."

Liu Tianluo looked straight at his sister, "Yunluo, you must be happy! This is what I am doing here The only wish in the world."

Looking at his brother, Liu Yunluo said, "Brother, take care and find a sister-in-law to take care of you as soon as possible. I will feel relieved." Liu Tianluo smiled and did not answer his sister's warning.

took his sister and squeezed back to Han Dexin. The train whistle sounded, reminding people to get on the train, and the two men held four hands together. Han Dexin said: "Take care!"

Liu Tianluo nodded solemnly: "You too, take care."

He walked to his sister and hugged Liu Yunluo in his arms, "Sister, goodbye, I wish you happiness. Remember. Please write to me. I will miss you." He let go of Liu Yunluo, walked a few steps, and then turned to Liu Yunluo and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. I will go to Sun Cong's house when I have time. If you have any difficulties, help them solve it. I owe Sun Cong’s parents and I have to help you pay it back.”

Liu Yunluo responded, “Don’t worry, I will.”

Liu Tianluo stepped onto the train in a few strides. Soon, Liu Tianluo's head stuck out of the window. The train started, and Liu Tianluo waved to them: "Goodbye! Goodbye..."

Liu Yunluo ran with the train: "Brother, a letter! Take care!" The train was out of sight, and Han Dexin came over, "Don't worry, he's fine. "The two walked out of the train station side by side.

On the National Day of 1950, 20-year-old Liu Yunluo and Han Dexin held their wedding in the municipal party committee auditorium. All attendees were municipal party committee cadres. The wedding was very simple, with the newlyweds accepting congratulations and good-natured banter. Suddenly, Liu Yunluo, who was standing side by side with Han Dexin, saw a pair of eyes, that was Lin Hua. Those eyes were half-closed, half-open, cold and hateful, like two cold lights and two sharp swords shooting at Liu Yunluo. If looks could kill, these two looks would definitely kill Liu Yunluo to the ground. Liu Yunluo, who was surrounded by happiness, saw those two glances, which immediately pierced her, and she shrank and leaned towards Han Dexin. Han Dexin lowered his head and asked with concern, "What's wrong, are you cold?"

She shook her head. She didn't want to look at that gaze, but she couldn't help but look at it. She looked at that gaze again. Han Dexin noticed it and looked in the same direction. go. The moment Han Dexin looked away, Han Dexin immediately understood what had just happened. He whispered in Liu Yunluo's ear: "Don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you."

Liu Yunluo lowered his head Eyelids, he said very softly: "I know." The two whispered, although they couldn't hear it, Lin Hua in the distance seemed to understand that they were talking about him, and the cold light that had just been withdrawn came back. Liu Yunluo didn't look up this time, but he still felt the sharpness of his gaze.
