The old woman smiled and asked him, "Like who?"
The old man said, "Let me tell you a story."
The story probably happened in the 60s and 70s, when the village phoenix suddenly ran to the pillar's house and asked him, "Have you seen my pigeon?"
There was a hint of panic in Zhu Zi's eyes, and then he hurriedly said, "I haven't seen it, but it might be back tomorrow." Pillar family cooking rice, see Xiaofeng came, may be for the reason of neighborly relations, also told her to eat in their own home.
Xiao Feng and Zhu Zi finished the meal, the meal is very fragrant, the pot of soup is particularly fragrant, Xiao Feng and Zhu Zi ate very well.
The next day, Xiaofeng came back to ask if he had seen his pigeon, and Zhu Zi hesitated just for a second, then shook his head and said he hadn't seen it.
The pillar again stayed in the phoenix ate dinner, phoenix ate wipe his mouth and went home.
On the third day, Zhu Zi saw Xiao Feng walking this way, and quickly waved his hand at her, saying, "Your pigeon is back, look." He held the pigeon in his hand up to Xiao Feng, who saw it and shook her head, saying, "This is not my pigeon, my pigeon is white, this is just gray."
The pillar was a bit overwhelmed, he looked down at the pigeon, and then said to Xiao Feng: "Come to my home to eat." Xiao Feng stayed.
Every day afterward, Xiaofeng came to Zhu Zi's house with a pigeon, and Zhu Zi would leave Xiaofeng to have a meal, and every time he had a meal, Xiaofeng was happy to go home.
Later, they were together, Phoenix moved to the pillar home, and never asked where the pigeon went.
In fact, the pigeon was originally intended to be killed and eaten by Phoenix, but it was picked up by the pillar to cook soup. When she went to the house of the pillar, she saw that the scattered hairs that had not been cleaned were her own pigeons.
And she fell in love with the flavor of Zhu Zi's meal. Under the pretext of looking for pigeons, she ran to Zhu Zi's house again and again.
The pillar does not know, meal after meal, the heart of the phoenix, completely stayed in the pillar here.
The old woman heard, asked, "Then what?"
The old man said, "I'll tell you another story."
The old woman said, "Sure."
Chen Wen was transferred to a classified organization by his superiors, and before he could tell Cui Xiao, Cui Xiao kept up the frequency of one letter a week to Chen Wen.
But Chen Wen never received it.
The workshop where he works has no access to any outside information, and the work he does must remain a mystery, with no leaks.
Three years later, after completing his mission, Chen Wen returned to his original post, where he looked at a stacked letter on his desk.
One by one, he opened them.
The first letter: Chen Wen, the weather here is warmer, I made you a new dress, when you come back to try.
The third letter: Chen Wen, I went to buy a new dress today, so we can wear it when we go out to play later.
The fifth letter: Chen Wen, why don't you write back to me, it has been so long, I miss you.
......
Thirty-sixth letter: If you don't write me back, I'll listen to my mother and marry the man she introduced to me! Never write to you again!
Thirty-seven: The last letter was written in my anger, don't worry I'm not with him. You hurry back.
Thirty-eight: I'm engaged.
Between the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth letters, there was a month's interval.
Wint
How much do you know
Chen Wen panicked all of a sudden, he grabbed that last letter and wanted to hurry back to Cui Xiao.
He went back, but didn't go straight to Cui Xiao's house, he didn't know in what capacity to meet her. So he went to the stall where he used to have breakfast with Cui Xiao.
He ordered a bowl of wontons and cried as he ate, his tears mixing with the soup, not knowing if it was the flavor of the soup or the tears.
Cui Xiao stood right behind the sign of the stall, looking at Chen Wen, tears overflowing, rushing down.
She finally turned down that wedding and waited for her Chen Wen to come home.
Chen Wen finishes that bowl of wontons and sees Cui Xiao when he pays.
Cui Xiao is smiling at him, the love that she sealed years ago when Chen Wen moved to a classified organization.
Now she's re-sealed it.
"What a touching story." The old woman says, "I don't really like sad stories like that."
"Then let me tell you another story." The old man continued.
The old woman listened patiently to him.
The old man said:
After Xiao Wen and Xu Li got together, the two of them were in love.
Xu Li would get up on cold mornings and make breakfast for Xiao Wen. She would get up on cold mornings and make breakfast for Vivian. Vivian would prepare a meal for Xu Li when he came home from work.
They lived a life envied by their neighbors, going for walks together, going to the mall together, getting haircuts together, traveling together, square dancing together, and doing everything together.
People who have seen them say they are a happy old couple.
Xu Li said, he and Xiaowen will always be together are not separated. He is obviously an old man of sixty or seventy, but he still likes to promise like a child.
However, Xiao Wen has forgotten. She forgot everything, along with the memory of Xu Li, she ......
The old man could not continue to speak, he cried, sobbing. I do not know what to do, can only hand him tissues, and then help him to sit aside.
The old man was holding the old woman's hand tightly and crying. The old woman was obviously a little overwhelmed, she wanted to pull out her hand, but how can not pull out, her eyes are full of confusion, do not know why the person in front of me holding their hands and crying.

The old man later left, and then later, did not see the old man to my stall mouth.
After a few days, there was a young man, who came to collect the old woman, I asked him how come he came to pick up his own old man only now, he said that in the past there was my father who came to pick up the old man, and I didn't come, and my father passed away, and I came to pick up the old man.
Mother got Alzheimer's disease, always like to sit in the stalls used to often come to the mouth, also called not to go back, it is only my father every day to come to speak with her, tell her stories.
Oh, so the old woman is the old man's wife ah.
The old man died.
Later I realized.
In the three stories told by the old man:
Pillar was him, Chen Wen was him, and Xu Li was him.
Xiao Feng is her, Cui Xiao is her, and Xiao Wen is her.
The old man gives his wife, who doesn't remember him in front of him, the story of their time together, from meeting to forgetting, in the most simple words. The wife forgets, the old man always remembers.
The old man went away, and the old woman did not remember him, I think there must be some regret.
"You look like a man." I never heard it again at the mouth of my stall.
My stall is still the same people who come and go every day.
