The cold wind that morning blew across their faces, biting the bones. Song Xuanlin and Jiang Wanqing sat on their knees in front of the stall. Song Xuanlin was the first to hold the stick and shake it. A bamboo stick with a number engraved on it fell down, which meant that the sign was completed and smoothly. He put away the bamboo stick and handed the bamboo stick to Jiang Wanqing beside him.
Jiang Wanqing took the bamboo stick and shook it gently like the young man did. In panic, the bamboo stick suddenly slipped and fell straight to the ground. Her heart suddenly became tense, and she did not dare to lower her head to check the number on the bamboo stick, so she had to close her eyes tightly and ask Song Xuanlin to help her find out what it was.
Song Xuanlin bent down to pick up the bamboo sticks, and saw clearly that the numbers corresponding to the bamboo sticks were for the bad luck and the lower ones. Then he looked at the upper and upper bamboo sticks in his hand. Without any hesitation, while Jiang Wanqing was still waiting with his eyes closed, he quietly swapped the two bamboo sticks, and then handed the lot to the old man. He turned around and softly comforted the girl next to him: "Don't be nervous, both of our lots are a good omen."
The old gentleman watched the entire silent exchange, but did not expose the boy's lies. Instead, he followed his words and completed the decryption. He took out two peace charms from the bag and handed them to the two, wishing them all the best in their future.
After the two thanked them and left, the old man rubbed the bamboo sticks he had replaced, shook his head slowly, and sighed softly:
"Exchanging one's blessings for her calamity, deep love cannot defeat fate"
Purpose: Jiang Wanqing did not wallow in the pain of loss her whole life. She followed their agreement to adopt the girl, reconcile with her parents, and live her future life seriously. The work also wants to tell readers: Faced with sudden loss and pain, there is no need to be trapped in sadness forever. Remembering the tenderness of the person who left, living a good life with his expectations, accepting regrets, and moving forward is the best response to this deep love.
