Back to the Good Life of the 80s

Chapter 456 As long as you live well
By the secluded pond in the compound, there was no one there after dinner, so Nie Zhijie and Xie Huiguo walked along the path by the pond.

This place was specially chosen by Xie Huiguo, neither of them spoke, they walked quietly.

Xie Huiguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked Nie Zhijie, "Do you want it?"

"Don't smoke!" Nie Zhijie said.

Xie Huiguo smiled, it's different after getting married.After walking for a while, he stood still facing the pond, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and glanced sideways at him.

"You've changed a lot."

Nie Zhijie turned his head to look at him, looked at the pond and said, "You have changed too. The army is the best place to train people."

Indeed.

"Why do you think you're going to get married? I thought you didn't plan to get married in this life." Xie Huiguo couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart, "I'm sorry."

Nie Zhijie's eyes flickered, surprised that he would say that, thinking of his little daughter-in-law, he pursed his lips and smiled.

"When you meet the right person at the right time, marriage is inevitable. You don't have to feel sorry for me, I'm fine now."

"As long as you live well!" Xie Huiguo let out a heavy breath, feeling that the heavy stone on his heart was gone.

Over the years, he blamed himself and felt sorry for him, and the pressure made him often out of breath.

For the sake of his adoptive father, Nie Zhijie reminded him, "She is not a good wife."

The two of them knew who this "she" was.

Maybe it's the moonlight on the pond tonight, which is so beautiful that Xie Huiguo wants to find someone to express the words that have been suppressed in his heart all these years.

"I don't know why back then, it was like a ghost fascinated by a ghost. The first time I saw her, I was shocked. I didn't believe in love at first sight before, but after I saw her, I believed it. I told myself that it was this beautiful girl. Girl, the wife of my life."

Nie Zhijie was expressionless, but what he was thinking about was the first time he met his daughter-in-law... There was no love at first sight, the little daughter-in-law's face was blue from the water, and almost disappeared.

Nie Zhijie pursed his lips, he had to prepare his daughter-in-law to learn to swim.He didn't stay by her side all the time, and if such a thing happened again, the little daughter-in-law would be able to protect herself.

"When she came to me, I was so happy that I couldn't speak clearly. Knowing that she was with you, I still did it. I really liked her very much, and I must have been jealous!"

That's why he plunged in desperately.

"Half a year ago, you came back to settle this matter. I thought I finally got it. I was so excited that I didn't sleep for several nights. I didn't expect that she went out for half a month after getting engaged, and she was going to die when she came back..."

At that time, he thought that happiness was within easy reach, but who would have thought that hell would be waiting for him.He was really in pain and wanted to drag Lin Mengru to die together.

"It's been half a year, and it's exhausting me physically and mentally... Seeing the relationship between you and your younger siblings, I suddenly thought about it, let her go! Just think of it as the last thing I did for her for the sake of my ten-year relationship."

Nie Zhijie does not comment on other people's feelings, whether it is pain or happiness, it is the path he chooses.

In the words of the little daughter-in-law, I am responsible for what I choose, and I have to walk on my knees, so I have to eat the bitter fruit myself.

"Zhijie, she wants to get back together with you." Xie Huiguo took a deep breath and finally said it out.If he lets go of Lin Mengru, it will cause trouble for Zhijie and his wife!

"I have a daughter-in-law, and I will only have one in this life." Nie Zhijie's face was so cold that frost could form. He is not a trash can, he collects everything.

Xie Huiguo understood what he meant, Lin Mengru had no way, Bai Dian forgot.

Nie Zhijie was a little dissatisfied, and called him out at night just for this matter.If it's a big deal, you'll end up with someone else and get separated again. It's going to be a mess, and it's worthless!

Wasting his time with his little wife.

Eyes turned to the pond.

Every time I come back to visit relatives, I come and go in a hurry. I haven’t been here for many years. In the empty pond before, I planted lotus roots.

There are already lotus pods in this season. Nie Zhijie has sharp eyes and sees that the lotus pods are full of lotus seeds.I scanned around and saw several by the pond. I took off my shoes, rolled up my trousers to my thighs, and prepared to go into the water to pick some and give them to my daughter-in-law as snacks.

"what are you doing?"

Xie Huiguo's face was full of worry, and disappeared after seeing his inexplicable behavior.

"Picking lotus pods!"

Without Nie Zhijieming telling, Xie Huiguo also knows who to pick for.Who else but his wife.

I really didn't expect that a person who was so cold in the past would undergo such a big change after getting married. The premise of everything he did was for his wife.

I have never seen such a doting daughter-in-law.

In all fairness, he is good enough for Mengru, not like Zhijie.

If the two of them moved to another place and looked at the lotus roots in the pond, he would not think about going into the water to pick lotus pods for Lin Mengru.

"What's so good about not seeing your wife..."

As soon as Xie Huiguo spoke, the cold knife in Nie Zhijie's eyes flew over.

"I won't say it, it won't work if I don't say it."

Xie Huiguo smiled and closed his mouth, not willing to let others talk.Watching him busy back and forth, making his body full of mud, is still a joy.

Nie Zhijie didn't want others to say that his daughter-in-law was bad, and he knew best if she was good or not.

Nie Zhijie cleaned the lotus pod carefully before coming up to wash his hands and feet. He didn't wear his shoes anymore and walked back with them.

"You're going back like this?"

Xie Huiguo couldn't see it, the shoes are just for wearing, if the wet ones get wet, it's no big deal.

Nie Zhijie ignored him.

Maybe it's because he has no psychological burden, Xie Huiguo is not as cold-faced as before, as if he hasn't paid back hundreds of dollars for a long time.

You can still joke with Nie Zhijie, "Your wife is so young, you can do it?"

Nie Zhijie immediately turned dark, "I'm not that old either."

Hearing his resentful words, Xie Huiguo almost laughed.It turns out that Nie Zhijie is such a person!
"Seriously, what are your plans for your sister-in-law? Continue to study or find a job for her?"

"Let's go, it's getting late." Nie Zhijie didn't like people paying too much attention to his wife, even if it was his brother.

Tsk, I'm so jealous!

"There's something else I want to ask you." Xie Huiguo slowly withdrew his smile, "Do you have a pocket watch? There are patterns engraved on the case."

Nie Zhijie narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Why are you asking this? There is a piece left by my parents."

After being adopted, his adoptive mother treated him as well as his own. In order to repay this maternal love, he took off the pocket watch hanging around his neck and put it away.

After that, I never wore it again.

The pocket watch is still stored in his box, if he hadn't mentioned it, Nie Zhijie would have almost forgotten it.

Xie Huiguo turned his head and glanced at him. Zhijie looked exactly like their father. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was their own father and son. The family never suspected that he was their lost son?Just because he was the orphan entrusted by his comrade-in-arms before his death?

The truth is often the cruelest.
