Zhang Jin slightly lowered his head and glanced at the woman beside him. She was really different from the first time he saw her.

At that time, her skin was sallow, her face was old, her eyes were dull and cloudy, and the wrinkles on her face made her look more than 50 years old.

But it had only been a little over a year, and her whole mental outlook was completely different.

His skin became white and shiny, and there was always a smile on his face that looked friendly but was actually distant. Looking at the corners of his eyes, there were only a few slight crow's feet left, and his eyes became moist and lively.

Zhang Jin's eyes fell on Wen Minghua's slightly parted lips with red gloss. His Adam's apple rolled twice unconsciously, and then he looked away as if he was electrocuted.

He put his hands by his sides and clenched his fists unconsciously.

……

After two turns, we boarded the bus heading towards the Great Wall. Wen Minghua paid attention to both sides of the road outside the bus.

She found that during this period, not only in the area where they lived, there were more people setting up stalls or selling things with baskets after the college entrance examination resumed last year, and they became more blatant.

They are all young, looking to be in their 20s, both male and female.

Wen Minghua knew that most of these people were educated youths who had returned to the city, and most of them did not have letters of introduction for returning to the city.

She also knows that from now on, there will be more and more vendors, and accordingly, the public security order will become worse and worse, until the first severe crackdown in a few years.

She looked away from the window and focused her gaze on the two little girls sitting together in front of her. She saw that the two of them were still touching their heads and talking quietly, and she couldn't help but smile again.

"Mom, look."

Yang Manchun pointed at the Great Wall that could already be seen outside the window and exclaimed.

In fact, at the age of 22, it was her first time to climb the Great Wall. The only things she had seen before were pictures in textbooks or illustrations.

Wen Minghua raised her eyes. She was not too surprised. After all, she had been there more than once, but the time and space were different and her mood was different.

If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero.

Although my back is soaked with sweat every time I board her, every time I touch the city wall that has endured thousands of years of wind and frost, and look at the winding end of the sky, I feel like I can see the swords and swords and the galloping horses. The shouts of death...

Climbing the Great Wall is a very tiring exercise. Before I can climb to the place I want to reach, my legs are already numb and I feel like I have lost consciousness.

Huang Xiaoxiao was very tired, and Manni was also tired, but she still stood high and looked around, feeling that she couldn't see enough.

It turned out that this was the Great Wall she had seen in videos or pictures.

She didn't know what words to use to describe it. There was only one voice in her head. She actually climbed the Great Wall!
Wen Minghua and Yang Manchun sat on the ground to rest, and Manni also leaned over.
"Mother."

She wanted to say that she was so excited, very excited. She wanted to say that she never thought that one day she would be able to climb the Great Wall.

But when she saw Wen Minghua's questioning eyes, her rationality returned and she only said:
"Leg hurts."

Wen Minghua smiled and shook her head. Doesn't it hurt? Among the group of people, she and Huang Xiaoxiao seemed to be the only ones who didn't know how tired they were and always ran at the front.

Huang Xiaoxiao also squeezed over:
"My legs hurt too."

She leaned closer to Wen Minghua. If the stone steps in front of Wen Minghua weren't wide enough, Manni guessed that she would have squeezed into Wen Minghua's arms.

At this moment, all Manni's thoughts were gone, "Sit here."

Whose mother felt sorry for her, but she didn't even sit in her mother's arms.

Wen Minghua raised her hands, hugged the two little girls one by one, and asked Yang Jianmin to take out the food and soda drinks she bought.
"Have something to eat and see if you want to walk further up."

The two little girls and Yang Manchun shook their heads at the same time:
"not going."

They ate something briefly, and each of them drank a bottle of soda. When the chill on their bodies became even worse, they helped each other go down.

Zhang Jin and Yang Jianmin brothers looked fine. When Man Ni and Huang Xiaoxiao came down, one was carried by Zhang Jin and the other was carried alternately by Yang Jianmin brothers.

"Still lack of exercise."

Dragging her legs that were like lead, she got out of the car. Seeing Huang Xiaoxiao crying and shouting not to go back, Wen Minghua asked Zhang Jin to come with her.
"Go and have a bowl of noodles and then go back."

It would take more than half an hour for the uncle and nephew to go back from their side and go back to open the stove to cook. They didn't know how long it would take before the food was in their mouths.

Zhang Jin didn't want to go. He didn't feel right today. His eyes kept glancing at Wen Minghua. He was eager to avoid such an abnormality, but Huang Xiaoxiao held his hand and cried until he was out of breath. He had no choice but to follow. .

He had never felt that going to Yang's house would make him feel nervous before. That night, Zhang Jin felt that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.

He wanted to say something to Yang Jianmin, but saw him change clothes after returning home, wash his hands and face, and then go into the kitchen.

"..."

Zhang Jin looked at Yang Jianping again, who had just changed his clothes and walked to the kitchen.

So he couldn't find someone to just say a few words to?
He stood up and walked to the door, took out the cigarette from his pocket and lit one. He happened to see Wen Minghua coming out of her clothes and frowned, and subconsciously put out the cigarette.
"that……"

"Xiao Zhang, sit down in the room, Manchun is pouring water for you."

As expected, she was a young man, she was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but she was fine and could still stand upright like a normal person.

Xiao Zhang Jin clenched his fists and accepted the name Xiao Zhang. He glanced at the figure walking straight to the well in the yard, then looked at the neighbor who had already stuck his head out to see him, and ducked into the house.

She is single and he is a grown man, so he should not stand at the door and let others see him.

Sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, I knew rationally that I shouldn't look around, but my eyes unconsciously looked at the photos on the cabinet.

Is that their family photo?
He stood up involuntarily and walked to the cabinet by the wall.

It is indeed a family portrait of their family.

The couple has five children, but the photo looks like it was taken ten years ago?
The couple in the photo look very young, especially Wen Minghua.

Zhang Jin frowned. Her face now looked almost the same as the face in this photo. No, she looked several years younger.

What is the reason that makes her become younger and younger?

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and met Wen Minghua's smiling eyes:
"Xiao Zhang, come here and sit down. Drink some water first."

When they were on the Great Wall, he didn't want to drink soda, and they didn't bring any water. On the way down, the throats of those who drank soda became dry and itchy, let alone him who didn't even take a sip of water. (End of chapter)
