The village chief's daughter thought that her life could go on like this.
Although it was a bit simpler and duller, with him by her side, she had nothing else to ask for in this life.
Being able to love each other as lovingly as her parents for the rest of their lives, in her opinion, is really enough happiness.
However, the boy next door had different ideas from her.
He told her that he wanted to see the outside world.
He didn't want to stay here all his life and live a mediocre life like other people in the village.
In the end, he would be buried in the loess and no one would remember it.
She knew that he had been different from other children of the same age since he was a child.
He loves reading books, so much that he forgets to sleep and eat.
He will tell her the stories in the books.
She likes that he is so happy and remembers every story he tells clearly.
However, she didn't know that he had already made plans to leave.
They had a huge quarrel, the worst quarrel in their lives.
Finally, he ended the quarrel with one sentence: I originally thought you were someone who could understand me, but I found that I was wrong.
She finally stopped crying and turned around quietly to leave.
After this day, she learned to cry without making a sound.
The next day, he came to apologize, and she forgave him naturally.
She also smiled and said that she had thought about it all night and felt that his decision was right.
She really loved him, so she would not stop him.
He was overjoyed as she expected, holding her in his arms and promising again that he would never marry anyone except you in this lifetime.
She lay quietly in his arms and smiled, thinking with tears in her eyes, this was enough.
On the day he left, she came to see him off, and the package she handed over contained clothes that she had stayed up late for several days to make.
He said, "You have to wait for me.
When I become successful, I will come back and marry you in a sedan chair."
She smiled and nodded, saying yes.
He turned around and left.
Just leave and never look back.
She stood there and looked at his figure until his figure disappeared; until the sun set over the western mountains and the moon reached the branches; until her tears silently flowed dry.
He has ideals, ambitions, and a pride that refuses to be ordinary.
She, but only him.
This year, he is already nineteen years old, and she is one month away from turning seventeen.
There is still one month left before they get married.
She was walking alone on the path home.
The moonlight stretched her figure very long, long, thin and lonely.
Looking at the shadow, she suddenly laughed.
Did it take too long?
If she got married earlier, would he stay because of her?
If she had cried and hugged him just now and told him what she really thought, would he have stayed?
Along the way, she thought about a lot of what-ifs, but what's the use?
He has already gone, far away.
She didn't realize she was home until she saw her worried parents waiting at the door.
Her parents didn't know that he left the village, and he didn't even tell his biological parents because he said they didn't understand him and would definitely stop him if they knew.
She also helped him hide it.
But now, he's gone, already, there's no need to hide it anymore, right?
That night, under the oldest acacia tree in Sangxi Village, a sixteen-year-old girl cried bitterly in the arms of her elderly parents until she fainted.

The boy from the next door family left, taking with him the bright smiling face and moving singing voice of the village chief's daughter.
Although he said he would come back, when is this day?
The old village chief sighed to his wife under the acacia tree.
He felt that it was all his fault.
He wanted his daughter to stay at home longer for selfish reasons and delayed the wedding day for too long.
If they had been together for a long time and had children, then the boy would also feel at ease because of his family.
My wife persuaded: He wants to get ahead, which is a good thing.
He may have promised our daughter that he will come back, so why are you asking for trouble?
The old village chief smiled bitterly: Among you women, there is no man who understands men better.
If he saw the prosperity outside, how could he be willing to come back to our small mountain village?
The moment the promise was made, only the person who was promised could still remember the content seriously. .
The daughter who was sitting in the room slowly laughed when she heard her father's undisguised words.
She believed he was a man of his word.
She told herself so and kept waiting.
Day after day, the acacia tree bloomed and faded.
She passed her seventeenth birthday, but he still didn't come back.
In small mountain villages like Sangxi Village, girls who are not yet married at the age of seventeen have hidden diseases, except those with extremely poor appearance.
The village chief's daughter is neither of those things, but she is still a married woman.
Uninformed people will naturally make some malicious guesses.
She celebrated her eighteenth birthday despite all kinds of voices.
Soon after, she finally received her first letter from him.
The letter said that he had arrived in the capital and had settled down.
He planned to take the national examination.
This was the fastest way for him to succeed, so he would stay in the capital for a while.
He talked a lot about the outside world, the like-minded friends he met, and his expectations for the future.
She looked at each line with a smile, until finally, he said: I miss you, you must also remember to miss me.
Her tears flowed down all of a sudden.
The last sentence in the whole letter was the only one that expressed his feelings for her, but she was happy with it.
She knew that her love was humble, but she knew that the other person also loved her, which made her willing to do anything for him.
Another half year passed and she received the second letter.
He failed the national examination.
Her heart ached because of the content in the letter.
Although he said that he was fine and told her not to worry, she still couldn't help but think that it would be better if she stayed with him.
At the end of the letter, he didn't mention whether he missed her, but he just vowed to repeat that he would not give up and would stay in the capital to wait for the national examination again in three years.
Next time, he would definitely succeed.
That night, the village chief's daughter couldn't sleep.
With dry eyes open, she looked at the albizia tree in the yard and sat quietly all night.
The next day, she left a letter to her parents and embarked on the road to the capital alone.
She had lived in the love and care of her family since she was a child, but she didn't know the dangers of the world.
On the way to Sangqiao County, she was forcibly dragged into the woods by a strange man who was interested in her and wanted to do something casual.
During the struggle, she grabbed the stone beside her and hit the man on the back of the head, and then escaped.
She is extremely smart, and this experience not only frightened her, but also warned her.
In order to conceal her appearance, she smeared mud from the river on her face, messed up her long hair, and tore her clothes.
Only when the image is the same as that of a homeless child can he continue to move forward with satisfaction.
However, the capital was so far away from Jiangcheng.

In order to protect herself, she did not dare to go into the crowd to ask for help, so she could only walk slowly by herself.
When the money was not enough, she went to the mountains to pick wild fruits to satisfy her hunger.
But when traveling through big cities, she had to beg to make a living.
Occasionally meeting kind-hearted and generous donors would help her not worry about starving to death for the next month.
If she keeps going like this, it will be three years later when she reaches the capital.
She was so thin that she blended into the city among the crowd.
Looking at the endless flow of people on the bustling streets, she actually felt a little like a dream.
At that time, the triennial national examination had just ended, and today was the day when the results were released.
She stumbled along with the flow of people, and from time to time she would be pushed into corners in disgust.
Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the crowd, where a group of young men in Confucian robes and scarves were surrounding, congratulating the person in the middle in unison.
The man had a mature and handsome face, and with a bright smile on his face, he responded appropriately to the sincere or flattering words of those around him.
She also looked up, and through the gaps in her messy hair, her eyes were fixed on that person.
That was the person she had been longing for, the person she had been pursuing for three years.
He has become more mature and better-looking.
He has not lost weight and seems to be in good spirits.
She finally laughed happily.
She wanted to call him, but lost her courage after seeing the black hand she raised.
How could she appear in front of him like this?
She had to dress up beautifully to see him.
Thinking like this, she silently but happily withdrew from the crowd.
She had to find a place to clean up quickly.
But she was too tired.
After holding on for three years, she relaxed overnight and could no longer hold on.
After only taking a few steps, she couldn't control herself and fell down heavily.
Before she closed her eyes, what came into her mind was a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes and a skirt with ironed silver edges
