"If we hold a wedding at this time, it will hurt many people, including the children and my father-in-law and mother-in-law." "What about me? Where are my parents? Aren't my parents afraid of being hurt?" Not long after Li Jian returned from the army, his father fell from a fruit

"If we hold a wedding at this time, it will hurt many people, including the children and my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"What about me? Where are my parents? Aren't my parents afraid of being hurt?"

Not long after Li Jian returned from the army, his father fell from a fruit tree and died. At that time, Li Jian's family was very poor and could not even afford a decent coffin. Shaozhen, Li Jian's childhood sweetheart, cried and begged her father to borrow money so that Li Jian could bury his father properly.

After sending his father away, Li Jian looked at his impoverished home, his mother with limited mobility, and his mentally retarded brother. He was so worried that his head turned gray overnight.

The rural areas in the 1990s were really poor. If we didn’t go out and work hard, there would be no hope of turning around. If we go out, who would take care of our families?

Shaozhen saw Li Jian's thoughts and said to him: "If you want to go out and work hard, go ahead. I'm at home." When you make money, come back and marry me.

Li Jian gave Shaozhen's father the only valuable farm cow and 10 carambola trees in his family. With 50 yuan in his pocket, he went to Shenzhen alone.

Li Jian relied on the auto repair skills he learned in the army and his good physique. After almost ten years, he managed to make his mark in Shenzhen. At that time, he already owned three large-scale auto repair factories.

Li Jian did not forget his roots. He returned to the village in 2000 and built two villas, one of which was given to Shaozhen's brother. He married Xiaozhen on New Year's Day of the same year. At that time, both Li Jian and Shaozhen were in their thirties. Li Jian burst into tears at the wedding, saying that the wedding was too late and that he was ashamed of his wife and even more ashamed of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After getting married, Shaozhen chose to stay in the village in order to take care of her mother-in-law and silly uncle. Because there are relatives from her natal family who help from time to time, Xiaozhen does not feel tired or lonely.

Time passed quickly and another 10 years passed. Her mother-in-law and uncle passed away one after another, and Xiaozhen followed her husband to Shenzhen.

Shaozhen, who is used to living in the countryside, doesn't like life in a big city like Shenzhen at all. Although Li Jian is very kind to her, he tries to spend as much time with her as possible and takes her to visit Shenzhen and even Hong Kong. But Xiaozhen still wants to return to the village to live. Xiaozhen's parents were also old at that time. Xiaozhen used this as an excuse, and Li Jian could not object, and finally agreed to Xiaozhen's return to her hometown.

Time can't stand the wasted time, and I don't know when it started. There was a girl beside Li Jian. I heard that she applied for a job in Li Jian's auto repair shop right after graduating from college.

doesn’t know when they came together. When everyone knew it, only Li Jian didn't know it. Li Jian goes back to his hometown once every half month, which is Shaozhen's happiest holiday.

Month after month, year after year, several times, when Li Jian came back, he actually brought that girl with him, claiming to be his secretary. Shaozhen naturally welcomed him warmly.

Shaozhen fell and hit her head during a general cleaning. Li Jian rushed back overnight and sent Shaozhen to Shenzhen for examination. The result of the

check is: the fall was not heavy, but there was something growing in the brain.

When the doctor avoided Shaozhen and explained to Li Jian, Li Jian only felt dizzy.

immediately arranged to go to Hong Kong for re-examination, but the situation was still not optimistic.

Li Jian squatted at the end of the corridor of the hospital, made a phone call, then turned off his phone, and accompanied Shaozhen to complete all examinations and necessary treatments.

Unfortunately, half a year later, Shaozhen still could not get off the operating table.

Back then, his father passed away, and Li Jian turned gray overnight. This time, after losing his wife in middle age, Li Jian lost all his hair overnight.

At Shaozhen's funeral, everyone was moved when looking at the shaky Li Jian, and seemed to have forgotten that there was another woman beside him.

Half a year later, Li Jian gradually came out of the grief of losing his wife. He locked the door of his house, said goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and returned to Shenzhen. After all, the business cannot be neglected, because he still has two children who are in high school. Now that his wife is gone, Li Jian must support a bright future for the two children to be worthy of his wife's silent dedication for so many years.

Now it’s time to talk about the girl next to Li Jian. To be precise, she is a woman, not the girl who just graduated from college.

She has been working beside Li Jian for ten years, and her feelings for Li Jian have ranged from respect, to admiration, to wishing to have him.

After Li Jian returned to Shenzhen, he planned to put away his grief, get back on his feet, build a good career, make money and raise two children. This is the first responsibility of a man, a man who has lost his wife.

However, Li Jian ignored the girl next to him. She was no longer a college student who had just started to fall in love. She was just like Shaozhen who had been waiting for Li Jian in the village. She wants to get married, she wants to marry Li Jian and start a family together.

Faced with his lover's forced marriage, Li Jian couldn't make up his mind for a long time. One day, everyone got off work, and Li Jian smoked alone in the office all night. The next morning, the lover took three pieces of red paper and put them on the table, which were three different auspicious days.

Li Jian, who had already lost his wife, remarried as a matter of course, and no one had any reason to stop it.

Or maybe Li Jian still can't let go of his wife Shaozhen. Or perhaps, this lover already existed when his wife was alive, and Li Jian felt guilty. Li Jian doesn't agree to get married anyway, at least it's not the time to get married now.

Li Jian looked at the three red papers on the table, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into the trash can.

The lover's hysterical cries spread throughout the office building.

Alas! What is love in this world? Is Li Jian worthy of this eternal love story?
