The Most Pleasant Thing to Hear

Chapter 6 Part 2

The first scene.

The groom, with his blue-green traditional Han Chinese suit, sat down calmly on the front table of the old school classroom. He was clear and bright. He held a writing brush and gradually wrote a few words. The time he raised his head, a woman with a traditional Han Chinese stood in front of him, smiling so brightly at him.

The second scene.

The groom was holding a brush and about to draw a flower. The woman helped him to rub the ink stick against the ink stone. She did it and smiled at the man.

It was all the photo of a classic Chinese story.

Altogether there were eight photos, and the photo shoot went well. They all felt very interested and happy.

"To bring up, I think I have some predestined relationship with this place. The time I was three years old, grandpa took me here to look at the maple, he taught me how to read poetry." The man said, "The time I was five years old, grandpa died because of illness. My mom took me here to see the maple tree. She told me, this is grandpa's most favorite tree. That time I was very confused, I felt this place is quite boring. I just shouted to leave. My Ma brought me home after I cried for a round. We never discussed this place again, probably we are afraid of circumstances that evoke mixed feelings.

To mention it, the woman clutched the man's hand, and then the man smiled warmly to her and didn't say anything.

Bei Er Duo also didn't ask further, because it was raining in these two days. She knew some conditions of this couple. For instance, the man's mother is already passed away early because of illness, she said that it was inherited the liver disease. After two years, his father married again. His stepmother was very harsh to him, every day she was begrudging to give him even a slice of meat to eat. When his step-mother and father had another kid, his condition was getting even worse. All the best things were given to his step-brother. His step-mother controlled the financial issues of the household. She even didn't give him chance to take extra lesson outside of school. He really studied so hard to enter the famous university and moved from that little county.

He and the woman are the college mate, she has a completely different background from the man. She born from a typical family. Her father is a linguist, and her mother is a famous lawyer. Since little, she is raised as a girl from a wealthy family. Her parents have a great expectation of her. Naturally, they hoped that she would marry an appropriate match with a wealthy family. At first, her parent didn't want to accept the man because of his background. Yet under her persuasion and persistence, finally they accepted. Of course, she didn't mention that the man perhaps has some liver disease risk as his mama and grandma."

"We already did the premarital physical checkup, all the index is normal. So I'm not worried." The woman said happily to Bei Er Duo, "I already said to him that after we get married, we both would take care of our health, eat healthily, every week we would do some sports. That way we believe there would be no trouble in the future."

For the marriage, man's parents didn't give any money. It just all from the man's saving and the family of the woman.

"My Pa and Ma said, if I marry him, they wouldn't give too much many. I also don't care, in any way, we already worked for five years. Our saving could give us a simple wedding. Our honeymoon would be pushed away. Now we want to solve the problem of buying a house. We couldn't stay in the rented house," The woman said, "Even though life would be a bit difficult, but be together with him, I feel very happy. My Ma always sighs in despair and told me that I will regret when she heard me. But I always feel my choice is the most proper. We are still young. There will always money, but the genuine person that belongs to you. Maybe you will meet him once and not again. So I don't think I'm wrong."
