A child bride picked up on a pole, a mahogany comb with broken teeth, and a love that I couldn't even express.
On a snowy night in 1950, seven-year-old Lan Zai was carried into Jiangxi Village on a pole. When she walked barefoot through the snow, she had no idea that the young man chopping firewood under the locust tree would spend his whole life warming her feet.
From cooperatives to household quotas, from food stamps to stocks, they had the longest love affair in the clumsiest way.
He saved money for cutting firewood for three years in exchange for a mahogany comb; she took apart her only sweater and sewed a winter coat for her son. In the famine years, he saved half a piece of cornmeal and stuffed it into the crack of her window; in the turbulent years, she held out her pregnant belly to shield him from criticism.
Until the camphor is shaded, until she takes the first step.
Before she died, she held his hand and said, "I will find you in the next life." He replied, "No need to look for you, I will wait for you where you are."
Seventeen years later, her granddaughter found a note under her grandfather's pillow. On the yellowed paper was grandma's immature handwriting:
"Ah Chu, I will be your wife in the next life."
Open this book and witness a love that spans seventy years. In the long river of history, they are the tiniest dust, but they have become each other's most majestic mountains and rivers.

Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The love story of Ah Chu and Lan Zai unfolds for this family, for their children and grandchildren, and for their conduct as a person. Faced with the plight of the third child, Lan Zai did not hesitate to sell the silver bracelets and hairpins he had for his mother. What is even more touching is the touching story of their love, the relationship between the family and the roots and seedlings of this land. It's really good. After Lan Zai passed away later, Ah Chu missed Lan Zai and really cried after reading one chapter (ಥ_ಥ).
