She has long black hair, three earrings, and a shallow scar from the tiger's mouth on her right hand. When looking at people, raise your chin slightly and look at them from the corner of your eyes. The greatest pleasure every day is to say the meanest things in the calmest tone. "The coffee is on the left. Rice Ball can get the heating strip by himself." "Don't ask me which one is delicious, I'm not your mother." "I suggest you go to the hospital to have your eyesight checked and go to the ophthalmology department. Just say that you have eyesight but no eyesight." She is covered in thorns and should not be approached by strangers. Because no one taught her how to put away the thorns. When her parents divorced, no one wanted her. The seventy-year-old grandma said, "I want it." She raised her up, taught her how to make dumplings stuffed with three delicacies, tied her hair into crooked braids, and left a light on every night when she came home late. The day grandma left, she didn't cry. From then on, she was alone. In the three years since I came to Haicheng, I have no family, no friends, no... Nothing. Until I met the policeman who came in every day to buy water. --- Jiang Yu, 27 years old, is a security policeman at the police station in his jurisdiction. He doesn't talk much, but he works steadily. When he smiles, his eyes are crooked, giving him a youthful air. She's serious when she's wearing a police uniform, but when she takes it off, she's a fool all by herself. The first time he saw her was when he was passing by a convenience store on a police call early in the morning. She worked the night shift alone and was so sleepy that she lay on the cashier counter with her hair a mess. He didn't know why, but he passed by it again the next day. On the third day, he went in and bought a bottle of water. Then I couldn't stop. Every day on patrol, he went into a convenience store, bought a bottle of water, and looked at her. Seven years are like one day. She scolded him and he laughed. She pushes him and he stands. She said "I'm so bored", but he heard it as "See you tomorrow". He used the silence of an island to catch all her thorns. --- Their story begins with a bottle of water. That day she was beaten by a drunk man and lay in front of the convenience store. No one around her came forward. He came from the crowd and squatted beside her. "Don't move. The ambulance will be here soon." She looked into his eyes and suddenly felt... It didn't seem to hurt so much anymore. Later, he came to the hospital to see her every day, bringing strawberries he bought "by the way." Later, he took her home on an electric bike and said, "On the way." Later she asked him why he always came, and he said: "I'm afraid something will happen to you." Later she whispered: "No one cares about me." He said: "Now there is." Just these three words. She waited for many years. The wait is finally here. --- Later later. He worked the night shift with her, and when she was scared, he would sit in the corner and check his phone. He was on a business trip for a week, and she was in so much pain during her period that she couldn't get out of bed, so he sent back a bag of warm babies and strawberries in advance. He was approached by her past and had a bruise on his wrist, but said nothing. She fantasized about marrying him for the first time, and she forgot about herself and kissed Zhu Zhu. It was her first time getting a manicure, and she chose strawberry red, which he liked. She cried in front of him for the first time and said, "I have no family anymore." He wiped away her tears and said, "You have me." --- And later. They got married. There was no wedding dress, no diamond ring, just an unphotographed photo in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She said, "I'll give you a white gauze when I go back," but she still hasn't. They have a daughter. The daughter asked them: Which of you chased whom? She said nothing. He said: I chased him. She has been waiting for me for many years. He's not right. In fact, she waited for him. Waiting for him to understand every word of her "It's so annoying." He understood. So she wins. They are old. My hair has turned white and I can no longer walk, but I still sit on the balcony every day with two wicker chairs and two cups of tea. Hers is warm, his is hot. He still asks every day: "How are you today?" She still replies every day: "It's so annoying." Seventy years. This sentence changed from news to face to face, from convenience store to balcony. They are all old. But love never grows old. --- Special episode: New Year's Eve in the police station Every New Year's Eve, she would go to the police station to deliver dumplings. Three fresh stuffing, his mother taught her. In the first year, she stood at the door of the police station carrying a thermos bucket, too nervous to go in. In the third year, she has become a regular customer, and her colleagues will shout "Sister-in-law is here" when they see her. In the fifth year, when she went to deliver dumplings with a full belly, he rushed out, frowning so hard that he could kill a fly. In the tenth year, she took her daughter with her, and her daughter became the favorite of the police station. In the twentieth year, my daughter also worked, and the family of three had New Year's Eve dinner at the police station. On her thirtieth year, she took her granddaughter there, who asked, "Grandma, is this where grandpa works?" The 40th year, the 50th year, the 60th year... In the seventieth year, she came with him. Two people, with white hair, holding hands. The insulated bucket is still the same insulated bucket, it is already very old. But the dumplings are still hot and filled with three delicacies. She looked at him and said, "Seventy years." He looked at her and said, "Thank you." She turned away and said, "I'm so annoyed." Then he took something out of his pocket and put it in his hand. It's a strawberry, wrapped in red wrapping paper and tied with a small bow. Exactly the same as the first one. He froze. She said: "I bought it conveniently." He smiled. Fireworks fill the sky outside the window. She leaned on his shoulder. He squeezed her hand. Seventy years. Every New Year's Eve, the police station. Dumplings are made every year with three kinds of fresh fillings. Every year I say "Come" and every year I say "Hmm". The hand I hold every year, the ears that turn red every year.
