There, the two spent an unforgettable two months together day and night, inseparable. Then, I ran out of money and had to go home.
In Nancy’s small but artistic home, I secretly thought about how wonderful the years Nancy and her late husband, Bob, had experienced together!
Nancy, who is in her 70s, still sleeps on the wooden carved bed that Bob made forty years ago. The bedside tables and wooden cabinets beside the bed are all handmade by the former CEO of a New York women's clothing company. Product, why did he hit people? There are ink paintings, charcoal paintings, oil paintings and Chinese paintings hung on the walls of the bedroom and living room, each of which is Bob's masterpiece. In the back garden, every stone sculpture is also carved by Bob himself. The man who now only smiles in the photo on the wall passed away due to illness four years ago, but his thin and slender widow lives every day in the small world he left behind and continues her life.
Nancy is my American neighbor because she once served as a literature teacher in American high schools and universities. I asked her to help me check whether the English translation of my novel was smooth. Every time, we Our translation work was carried out in front of the computer in her study room. She didn’t understand Chinese, but she loved Chinese culture very much. She showed me the small bridges and flowing water in Suzhou that her late husband had painted when he went to China, as well as the embroidery crafts he brought back from China. She lamented more than once: If only Bob were alive, he would love to talk to you about everything about China.
Once, I told her about arranged marriages by Chinese parents and Chinese-style marriage resistance and elopement, which actually aroused her thoughts about herself, so she told me about him and Bob That "American-style elopement" that year.
At the end of World War II, 28-year-old handsome soldier Bob stood on the stage of a high school in Manhattan, New York, telling middle school students about various things on the battlefield...
Sitting in the audience It is about the beautiful 18-year-old girl Nancy. She has blond hair and likes dancing, music, literature, and fantasy. The image of Prince Charming she had been describing in her heart actually appeared on the stage of her school that day, and the young man who had just returned from the battlefield suddenly took over. The virgin land in her heart.
Nancy walked towards Bob with the notebook and wanted him to sign it, but looking at the man surrounded by many girls, she had to stand aside and wait patiently... Bob noticed this beauty The girl saw the shy look on her face when she was about to speak. The grown man was deeply moved by the shy girl's look. He walked towards her and stretched out his hand: "Let's get to know each other. I'm Bob. Your name is ?”
In this way, Nancy and Bob fell in love.
He satisfies all her longings for love: he is tall, handsome, strong but has delicate emotions. He is a man who loves art. He loves art, sculpture, and ancient oriental art; she satisfies him. All men's hearts: The quarrel alerted the flight attendant, who ran over and asked: "What's going on, what's going on?" She was petite, beautiful, gentle and passionate, a little princess in a fairy tale world. He wanted to protect her with His life gave her the best happiness.
However, first of all, Nancy's family set off a wave of opposition. Nancy said, "This money is for my mother's medical treatment. My mother is lying in the hospital waiting for this life-saving money. Wow..." the girl started to cry. Yes, I cried so much that I burst into tears. Wang Fafa was confused and didn't know what to do. He thought that a pickpocket must have stolen the girl's wallet, took away the money, and threw the wallet in the trash can. Now the girl came to the door. She had become a thief, and she couldn't explain it clearly. Wang Fafa was sweating, rubbing his hands constantly, and stammered: "I, the wallet I picked up is really worth a penny." No." The father said to his daughter: "This young man can't give you the quality of life we ??are providing you! He can't afford it, and neither can his family!" Then Bob's family is also one-sided. Disapproving, his mother said: "How could you marry such a charming young lady to support her? And when she, Guo Ling, called, Yang Anran was preparing for their afternoon gathering. She is not a Catholic yet, so in How many well-behaved girls come from such a school? "The disparity in economic conditions, differences in beliefs, and differences between families put a man and woman in love in a whirlpool. They were in great pain and finally decided to Escape!
The elopement happened like this. He took all his savings and took a boat to Europe with his beloved woman. There, the two had an unforgettable two months, being together day and night, inseparable. . Then, I ran out of money and had to go home.
Fortunately, this fairy couple did not fall from fantasy back to reality, and then parted ways; instead, they returned from the sweet heaven to the real world of love, and worked hard and struggled together. . He rose all the way up, from an ordinary clerk to the CEO of a chain of women's clothing stores in New York. He used his excellent artistic appreciation as a tool and as his lifelong hobby to travel around the world with his beloved wife and appreciate human creations. All the wonders of art, what I saw in my eyes and what I understood in my heart was, "No, I won't go!" Suddenly, Guo Min said forcefully, a little nervously.
, all turned into works of art in his writing and hands. He also used his love and true love to make a wooden loft bed for his wife. His wife used beautiful hand-embroidered curtains to hang on the bed frame. That is the love between them. little kingdom, their own fairy tale world.
Nancy said that her old father had become his son-in-law’s best friend in his later years. Two men who deeply loved the same woman admired and cherished each other. The old man said that his biggest mistake in his life was that he hindered The daughter and the son-in-law fell in love, but fortunately, they did not succeed, but what they achieved was a lasting relationship. During the National Day this year, Li Gang was going back to his hometown in Shandong to visit relatives. Lin Li also followed Li Gang back to Shandong because he was afraid of suffering separation. Li Gang's father Li Zhenghong and mother Liu Meiying are a pair of simple old people. They were very happy to see their son bringing back such a beautiful and delicate girl. Lin Li also felt friendly when she met Li Gang's parents. Although she was not married yet, she called her parents one after another, which made Li Gang's parents happy. Managing a marriage is actually about observing life, and always keeping oneself "nothing." "Saturation" state, like a sponge, constantly absorbing elements that are beneficial to marriage from life and others, and then use these nutrients in your own marriage. . .
Nancy has lived in the favor of her husband all her life. It is great that they have two children. , life in middle school is very boring. Every day there is a morning run that no one wants to do, and the girl is one of them. The boy is the sports committee member of the class. When the team is formed every day, it is found that the girl is not among them. She will also ask her classmates to He knew that she was asking for leave because she was not feeling well, but he still wanted to care about her and ask her, where are you feeling uncomfortable? It doesn't matter, but he never did it because he always seemed so timid in front of her. A son and a daughter, living in a beautiful and quiet town outside New York. The wife reads and writes, and teaches the children literature. As soon as Zou Fei walked out of the classroom after class, his cell phone rang. Liu Qin said feebly: "Zou Fei, I'm sick, can you come over now?" Zou Fei was shocked and asked Liu Qin repeatedly what happened? But there was no answer on the phone. Zou Fei immediately ran out of the school, stopped a taxi and went straight to Liu Qin's residence. After knocking on the door for a long time, he heard Liu Qin's voice coming from the house. When they were together, they talked about their respective student days. He said that those who lived in the wet alley During her childhood, she would also listen to her sad stories about the dry and drier Gansu countryside. She said that in the morning, a basin of water would wash the faces of the whole family. When she said this, her eyes were full of tears, which made people feel heartbroken. Yin: "My headache is so bad that I can't get out of bed..." Zou Fei opened the door with force. After entering the room, he saw Liu Qin lying on the bed with a pale face. He picked up Liu Qin and took her to the hospital without saying a word. A perfect love story!
However, any story must end. Human life is limited. Bob died of illness 4 years ago.
The husband who loved her so much left her. How has Nancy lived in the past four years? Every weekend she returns to the small town where we live to teach English to our children. Usually she drives to New York City by herself and lives in the city for three or four days in a small apartment that her late husband once bought for her, visiting museums, dancing ballet, and going to the gym. , she is also a volunteer at the United Nations and can help me straighten out my translations...she is so happy and full of energy!
Nancy pointed at the bobs placed everywhere in her house and she said "ah", looked at him, and then stretched out her hand to touch his face, "Fan Ze, you have been together for so many years, this This necklace was made by saving money from eating instant noodles for two months when she was chasing you. It is a necklace with your names on it, and the key is around her neck. How many times have you been separated and reunited over the years? This time, she took off the key from her neck and left on the subway. Because you gave up your place in school and applied for the International Youth Volunteer Medical Station in Benin, you wanted to go to Africa with her to help those in need. A person who is troubled by illness and unable to do anything. She tried to persuade you many times, but you still persisted in this way. Finally, she shook off your hand and scolded you: "You are so beautiful in this "too" queen's afternoon. Sure enough, he was tracked and the address was sent to Anlong via text message. The words are extremely vivid. Two people are in a small noodle shop, you take a bite and I take a bite, they are very entangled. Fan Ze said he loved noodles, so Jiang Jiang went around looking for Shanxi noodle restaurants, and finally found one with the best taste, so she took him to eat.
The artwork said to me: "Bob stays with me every day! He never leaves for a moment! I know he wants me to live a happy life, and I know he is always with me!"
If you truly love, you will never lose! If you have truly loved each other, you will never feel lonely!
I hugged Nancy and shed tears uncontrollably. It was not sadness, but emotion, touch and understanding!
