"Manman, I'm here. You're awake. Is there any part of your body that feels uncomfortable?"

Zuo Weiguo hurriedly got up and jogged to the hospital bed, not caring at all about the bloodstains on his forehead.

His heart and eyes were entirely filled with Lu Manman, who had woken up on the hospital bed.

"I, I feel much better. Where is this? Why am I here? Weren't we going to celebrate Teacher Li's birthday?"

Lu Manman feigned confusion. She had already learned the skill of playing dumb to perfection in the psychiatric hospital.

Right now, she had nowhere to go and no one to rely on.

She could only use this man's favor for her to survive and live on!

"Manman, do, do you remember what year it is?"

Zuo Weiguo was very nervous when he heard this, and at the same time, a voice was clamoring in his heart—

This was quite good. Manman had lost her memory; he might as well take the opportunity to take her away from this place full of bad memories, go to the place where he was sent to the countryside, and be an ordinary couple!

"Isn't it 1970?"

Lu Manman said firmly, without a single flaw.

In 1970, they were in their first year of high school. That summer, Teacher Xu's birthday came around, and the whole class chipped in a dime each to give Teacher Xu an unforgettable birthday.

At that time, they were the Chinese class representative and the math class representative, respectively, and they were in close contact.

Lu Manman was as proud as a white swan, while Zuo Weiguo was covered in acne, just like a toad.

If they hadn't been in the same Jiashuyuan and had the chance to go to and from school together, he would never have had the chance to chase the moonlight.

"Manman, some things have happened. Uncle and Auntie are no longer here. I am your fiancé, and we are preparing to get our marriage certificate. Will you accompany me to the countryside? Are you willing to leave here with me?"

Yes, he admitted he was despicable.

But he knew that in this lifetime, this was his only chance.

For her sake, he was willing to sever ties with his family and never return to the city again.

"They are no longer here?"

Lu Manman showed a surprised expression, thought about it, and seemed to have made up her mind:

"Alright then, I'm willing to go with you. You will be good to me for the rest of your life, right?"

Zuo Weiguo suppressed his excitement and immediately swore, saying from the bottom of his heart:

"Of course, I will be good to you for the rest of my life, cherish you, and always stay by your side, never leaving you."

Lu Manman smiled very satisfactorily. Good, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!

Shen Man, Gu Tingchen, you just wait. One day, she would definitely return!

The doctor not far away heard this conversation and sighed with great regret, shaking his head.

This female patient's brain had never been injured at all!

So, where did the amnesia come from?

Only that male comrade would believe such an obvious lie.

Sigh, he saw through it but couldn't say it, because it was a case of "Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai"—one was willing to hit, and the other was willing to suffer!

Destroying his own future—there was no one else like him...

Just like that, after Lu Manman came out of Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, she didn't go to the Railway Bureau Jiashuyuan to confront that heartless man Gu Tingchen.

Also, because she knew that the other party could allow Gu Yinyin to kick away their child and send her to a psychiatric hospital, there was no marital affection left to speak of.

Rather than staying and continuing to be tortured, it was better to temporarily disappear and wait for a good opportunity for revenge.

In fact, this decision of hers did indeed have an effect eighteen years later...

The next day, Zuo's father and mother didn't wait for their son to bow his head and apologize. They went to the health center to find him, but heard from the doctor that their son had already taken someone and left last night!

They were instantly disheartened, and in a fit of anger, they really went to the newspaper office and took the initiative to register a statement severing ties.

They clearly told all relatives, friends, and neighbors that from now on, they had no son, only a daughter. Their daughter would take a husband, and everything the old couple had in the future would belong to their daughter, having nothing to do with the unfilial son!

Zuo Weiguo's sister, Zuo Weiwei, didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Originally, she was destined to be abandoned by her family to go to the countryside, leaving her brother to stay in the city.

She didn't expect her brother to be so rebellious, which instead fulfilled her and allowed her to stay in the city...

On the surface, she was heartbroken that her brother had abandoned their parents and her for an outsider; behind their backs, she closed her door and covered her mouth to giggle.

Thank you, brother, for giving up everything for love. She would definitely not let down the gift of fate and would definitely live beautifully!

The temperature on the Sea Island always got hot faster than inland, and this year's matchmaking event also resulted in hundreds of new couples.

After the collective military wedding, the new batch of military wives drew lots to be assigned houses.

Under the impact of the festive spirit, the previous low atmosphere was swept away.

In life, there is no banquet that doesn't end.

People always grow between gaining and losing, between being strangers and being familiar.

There was also good news: Sun Meili, who had gone to Zhuhai to rely on relatives because of her divorce, had written a letter.

The person who received the letter was Ye Qinghong. Besides the letter, there was a package, and when opened, it was full of wedding candies!

Ye Qinghong gathered the little sisters who had always had a good relationship and were still in the Jiashuyuan to come to her house, and they read the letter together—

"Sisters, I'm married. My partner is a fellow townsman who works at a garment factory in Zhuhai.

He is very good to me, and his family is also very good to me. They don't mind that I've been married before or that it's difficult for me to conceive.

My maternal relatives are by my side, and now there is someone to support me.

I'm treating everyone to wedding candies, thanking you all for encouraging and caring for me when I was at the low point of my life.

This is my home address. If there is a chance in the future, sisters are welcome to come to my home as guests.

Sun Meili."

The letter wasn't long, written in a very upright manner, stroke by stroke. Occasionally seeing missing characters, they could still guess the meaning.

Everyone who heard it was genuinely happy for Sun Meili.

"That's great. The person Meili met this time is much better than the one before."

"Yeah, just looking at what's said in the letter, I can feel Meili's happiness."

"We'll all copy the address. In the future, if there's a chance..."

Zhao Cuicui and Ye Qingxue showed longing, but in this day and age, going out to play and being a guest at someone else's house was indeed a bit rare.

Shen Man copied an address. Zhuhai, garment factory—perhaps in the future, she would really have a chance to go and play, and visiting an old friend then wouldn't be impossible.

Everyone chatted and discussed for a while, then divided the wedding candies.

Actually, there was a pile left over.

Sun Meili bought the wedding candies, probably wanting to share them with the batch of military wives who had moved into the Jiashuyuan together at the beginning.

But she didn't know that the incident had happened not long ago, and many military wives had cleared out of the Jiashuyuan...

After discussing, everyone decided to help Sun Meili distribute the remaining wedding candies to the children who were catching seafood by the sea.

Just consider it accumulating virtue for Sun Meili. Yes, the doctor said it would be very difficult for Sun Meili to conceive in the future, but what if a miracle happened?

No sooner said than done. In the afternoon, when catching seafood, Ye Qinghong and the others distributed the extra wedding candies to the children catching seafood by the sea.

They told them that it was wedding candy that an auntie named Sun Meili had asked them to distribute on her behalf.

The children were also observant and sweetly wished the kind Auntie Sun a happy marriage and an early birth of a son...

Whether doing this would come true was unclear, but doing it was just a small effort. What if a miracle happened?
