Watch the Stars with You, Waiting for You to Grow Older
About This Novel
Three crooked names are engraved on the locust tree in the old family's courtyard - Su He, Xu Xingmian and Zhou Qingyan. From childhood when they climbed trees to dig out bird's nests, to teenagers who shared a popsicle, their footprints were stacked on top of each other, making different depths in time. Until that summer, Ye Zhixu appeared in the factory cafeteria holding an orange candy. The four hands finally overlapped in the sun, like four pieces of a puzzle, forming a complete youth. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, from the folding bed when starting a business to the bright diamond ring at the wedding, they walked through the broken umbrella they shared in the rainstorm, survived the night of instant noodles in the rental house, and wore the fifteen-dollar silver ring spread on the floor as eternity on their ring fingers. The anxiety outside the delivery room, the hot soup during confinement, the laughter over the full moon wine, and the smoke and smoke of the two families mixed together to create a pot of warm sweetness. When children run by on locust flowers, old people sit on wicker chairs and count their wrinkles, and family photos on the wall reflect the smiling faces of four generations - it turns out that the best story is never a desperate adventure, but someone who accompanies you to live your childhood jokes into life, and turn the phrase "from now on" into "lifetime". The leaves of the locust tree have fallen and become green again, just like their lives, which are ordinary and trivial, but when they turn around, they can always see the light in each other's eyes, which has been bright for a whole life.
