Everyone said that Xie Jiasanlang had a laid-back temperament, never fighting or grabbing and saying nothing.
On the day I married into the Xie family, I announced in public at the wedding banquet that I would marry him.
He looked at me from his seat and said nothing.
Later, I chased him into the shabby private school in the south of the city.
The stove was cold, the woodshed was empty, and he was playing an old piano on the porch.
I said I wanted to stay.
He put away his piano, squatted on the edge of the vegetable field and turned over the soil, saying that he would grow a ridge of vegetables next year.
Later, the school became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more children.
He teaches and I cook. The date tree was moved, the lanterns were hung, and the children gathered around one table after another.
He occasionally played the piano at night, and when he finished playing the last string, he would turn his head and look at me.
Still didn't speak.
But I know what he's saying -
When you come, life changes.
