Faded Red Dress

Due to family conditions, 19-year-old Tang Yun was referred by her blind date Chen Yue to her younger brother Chen Yuan, a bricklayer. The young man used the tiles used to mend the roof and his body temperature to warm the iron bed in the construction floor room. It warmed Tang Yun's heart of lovelessness and low self-esteem, and Tang Yun handed him over on that simple iron bed. The result was that she became pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to her eldest son, Chen Fei, without a wedding. After ten years of traveling to numerous construction sites, the milk powder can of Chen Xin, the second child, was mixed with cement ash. On the night when she got the key to the newly purchased house, Tang Yun found that silence was harder to penetrate than concrete - the transfer certificate that could not be obtained by members who did nothing, the street lamp running alone with the child on a high fever night, the back of Chen Yuan squatting on the balcony smoking and playing games, built the marriage into an airtight wall. On the night of her 29th birthday, Tang Yun put on lipstick in front of the cheap hotel mirror. The smell of a strange man's cigarette overcame the smell on Chen Yuan's shirt. The red light of the tower crane in the distance pierced the night sky, which was very similar to the sparks that fell when Chen Yuan was repairing the roof when she was 19 years old. It was obvious that it had been extinguished and burned for ten years.
