Xie Xuning replied, “Linlang, don’t worry. They should come to rescue us soon, but this is a mountainous area and the signal is not good… it may take some time.”
“The phone doesn’t have a signal? That’s right. The phone would show that we have one. This phone is useless.”
The old woman brought two bowls of sweet potato porridge to Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning.
Ye Linlang took the initiative to say to Xie Xuning, “Let me feed you.”
Xie Xuning stretched out his two hands and said, “My wife, I hurt my leg instead of my hands. I can eat it by myself. You eat it, don’t worry about me…”
When Xie Xuning called her his wife, Xie Xuning thought to himself that it’s over. Would Ye Linlang dislike him more?
In the dim light, Xie Xuning did not see Ye Linlang’s ears turning red.
“You eat quickly.”
The light of fire reflected on the faces of Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang. At that moment, Xie Xuning hoped deep down that there would’ve been more snow.
That way, the mountains would be closed by the heavy snow. They could stay here longer.
Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning were eating porridge silently, and the old woman and the old man sat beside them.
The old woman asked, “Are you two at odds with each other?”
“No, we are not.”
Ye Linlang answered. The matter between her and Xie Xuning was more complicated.
It would’ve taken a long time for them to explain everything.
“You can be at odds with each other while you are young. When you reach our age, you’ll realize how very little time you have. Cherish every moment that you spend with each other.”
The old man also followed the old woman’s words, “Do you know something? My wife was the most beautiful girl in the village when she was young. She was so beautiful…”
The old woman leaned her head on the shoulder of her man and said with a happy smile, “I was a child bride of someone else’s family. When we just got married and my kid was only one year old, he died of illness…”
“Afterward, I chased her. I chased her hard.” Grandpa was very proud.
He thought that he was lucky to have her.
“The people in the village disagreed at the time and wanted to drive us out of the village. The two of us held hands and lived in this cave. We have lived in this cave for so many years. We gave birth to our kids. They grew up and have their own families. We are still living here… many people think it’s a bad place, but it’s still our home.”
The old man grinned. Yes, it was their home.
Little by little, they built this family up.
“What about your children?”
The old woman said proudly, “Our kids live in the city, and they’re all married. They said that they would come back to spend the New Year with us this year. You see, we have made a lot of specialties, and we will let them take those to the city when the time comes.”
The old man and the old woman were very happy. It was a kind of happiness that was not made, but true happiness.
Ye Linlang didn’t know why, but she began to envy them.
She thought that Xie Xuning stretched out his hands to put her in his arms when she fell. His breathing was exactly the same as before.
Ye Linlang’s nose went sour. She suddenly wanted to cry without knowing why
“Don’t be at odds with each other while you are young. There is no afterlife for a married couple. It’s a myth that a couple will still be together in the afterlife. In this life, a couple should live well, have a good life, and be satisfied, which is better than anything. Isn’t it, old man?”
Grandpa smiled and said, “Yes, you’re right about everything.”
