The one who promised you a night in the sky

I was at first sight with brother Bean. The reason that "is", because until today our small tofu all to the age of soy sauce, and my group of male and female girlfriends are still said, Bean elder brother is not supposed to be able to let me at first sight of the paragraph ah. In their words, although I love actual combat experience, but since childhood familiar with "Bingshu", and many years of hard work for the side of the emotional problems of brothers and sisters, in other words, have not eaten pork has seen pig run, how may be a stay Meng to the standard science male love at first sight?

I recall the first time I saw brother Bean, he wore baggy khaki trousers and washed out of the crumpled plaid shirt, hair sleep staggered, the figure is really poor; but he turned, a pair of big eyes black and white clear bright, with a little curiosity a little shy expression look at me, For a moment I was in the heart of no reason surging up the tension and joy. That year I was 29 years old, but suddenly have a 17-year-old feelings.

After the encounter is the difference. Brother Bean and I, one in the West Coast, one in the east, more than 2000 kilometers away, three hours of time difference, a lowbrow, a spring snow, a day fell down so sleep, a next door faucet not tighten will eat not fragrant-but these things, in love by the silly Boy and old maid Eyes, How can I be called a thing? That period of time is the peak of my literary creation, daily work of love poems, but also a series of novels, at that time feel themselves down on the flowers, and now reread feel not bear to look directly, only bean brother a person always unsanitary environment, true love and IQ is negative correlated.

Just so day and night to write a few g of documents, one months later, one weekend, brother Bean flew over to see me. The first date we went to the aquarium, dolphins, seals, colorful shuttle fish, together with love, I from a pale and restrained literary female youth, instantly assimilated into and bean brother as rosy and full of joy two goods. Evening meal, the lights swaying Italian restaurant in the seven courses, I and bean brother respectively buried ruthless eat, and so I finally support myself last dessert, looked up, Bean elder brother in the table is patting belly eyes blurred. People who have seen me know that I eat amazing, in order to avoid eating more than boys and increase each other's embarrassing feeling, I often before the date to eat their own man hunger, and now the first time satiated with the Qifengduishou of the carefree dripping, I and bean brother separated by a table empty plate look at each other, the heart has a obsession closer to each other's distance.

Second date, brother Bean invited me to the botanical garden. The weather can not be better, I wear jeans on the sneakers, but see bean Brother rare neat white shirt black trousers pestle at the door awkward hands and feet do not know how to put. The botanical garden in the early spring is the good times of lush flowers and birds, but brother Dou clenched his fist with an uneasy look, and I have been anxious to see his feet of a brand------a shallow foot in the mud stepping on the foot. In this way two people each bosom in Billow Spring silently walked for a long time, bean brother suddenly pulled me into a small pavilion, Si Gu, one knee down, trembling from pants pocket out of a ring. Although I have already arrived "not to marry for the purpose of love is bullying" age, but the second date on the proposed speed or let me more or less flustered; but looking down, the next on my knees more nervous than I, white shirt collar le small face red, forehead is full of thin beads of sweat, My heart under a soft, pondering the fact that there is no need to think more, so "the mighty broken wrist-like" say yes.

Years later, I and brother Bean often talk about these past years, I asked him, why so fast can be sure he is looking for me? He always asked me to say, two adults of three views and good bad taste, originally is few words can figure out, physical attraction more is at a glance, if met that person and what need to think more? Then his eyes became gentle and said, "Now that you meet the right person, early marriage is not a good way to take care of you earlier?" "And then," he went on, "and I'm going to marry a girl of more than 20." ”

Honeymoon trip, in fact, with brother Bean to help him move from the west Coast to my study life and work in the east. In order to end the long distance of Acacia, brother Bean quit work, a suitcase a green car is his all his possessions. I flew to Los Angeles, two people drove his green car together from west to east all the way sightseeing. On one occasion I laughed at Doug said, such a bright and dazzling emerald green car, did not expect to have a factory production, but also did not expect someone to buy oh. "Do you look around and no one is driving a color car?" he replied gravely. So the parking lot can find their own car, how cool ah! "He is such a person, will not sweet words, nor poetic, not to mention the smart handsome multi-gold, I and my friends are called him Mr Bean, and he like Mr. Bean as good and cheerful optimism (tease than funny) always let the day leisurely flow of pleasure."

But even if Mu-na, like Brother Bean, occasionally there will be a time of poetic eruption. The first mid-Autumn festival night after marriage, we spent in Utah State National Park. We sit by the window to eat a small moon cakes, the window moonlight as water, but the stars appear sadly, just three five in the cloud between the swimming dodge. We rambling chat, I talked about childhood in the roof of the past, the moon rose up, the children gradually quietly lying in the bamboo bed, palm a shake, cricket voice, there are those gourd rattan in the sky in the stars shaking figure. Brother Bean also talk about his boyhood, lying on the tractor on the good friend's home, also in the summer night sky stars slowly fall asleep. We imagine that we have been in different four-dimensional space to look at the same vast night sky, do not know each other those who have said to the stars dream and wish in a certain coordinates have been collision? Brother Bean pulled my hand and said, "One day we went to see the Milky Way, counting the stars in the sky." "Maybe it's just the moon, but it's really the best thing I've ever heard."

Fairy tale says, Princess and Prince live happily ever after. I am not a princess, brother Bean is not a prince, and life is not a fairy tale. Our days are like all the ordinary students and couples, but the bumps are happy and simple.

After marriage we bought a very big old house, the room let me renovate a new, the house appearance is as far as possible to keep the original: The front yard has the big lawn, the door is planted full of flowers, the backyard has a row of big trees, one to fall, the golden or brown leaves thickly thick, went to crunch, we put a bench in the backyard After work, we sat there watching the sunset dye our little house crimson. We stamped a big sunny room, the weekend afternoon I in the room painting, Bean elder brother in the house weeding, our two puppies in the yard jump up, we will occasionally look at the glass through a smile. Sometimes after dinner we slip to the supermarket at the door of the community, buy some bits and pieces of small things, holding a large paper bag inside, and then on the way home to drink a cup of coffee and then take advantage of the sky becomes dark before the tardiness of the home.

Our love is so ordinary and steadfast in the steady. By the 2007 U.S. economic meltdown, brother Bean's investment in 2 months let us two people in 10 struggle to zero. Although two of us are not looking for money, but the first experience of real deal frustration is still a bit difficult to accept. There is a period of time, brother Bean unemployed at home, I come home from work every day, see so a carefree and happy people into the beard and the eyes of the decadent appearance, very sad heart. I said to him, go out and find a job, money is small, the key is to go out. So, brother Bean began his career in Japanese restaurant.

"When money is lost, it is most important to go out." We often cheer each other up. Brother Bean has a smile on his face, he is a natural optimism not afraid of the loss of people like, restaurant colleagues boss customers like him. Only once brother Bean home Frown said, the guest asked him dragon roll inside what things he but can not answer, he felt very guilty. I think of myself in college work-study time, also once for the separation of Kung Pao chicken and cashew chicken and annoyed, so I let Bean Brother took the restaurant menu and wine list back together, two North American actuary back cosmopolitan How to modulation is not easy, we race who back fast and quasi, Laughing and joking Dadanaonao the problem of Bean brother solved.

The meager salary can not stop our happiness, because it is a Japanese restaurant, staff dinner is often a variety of the night did not sell the sushi roll, brother Bean always put his part in the box to take home and share with me. The second part of the movie "Godfather", the young Vito Corleone. From the grocery store to work home, hiding an apple behind quietly put in front of his wife, every time I relive the plot, I will be tempted to have a smile floating face, think of me and brother Bean's that period of time. And to the weekend is the busiest restaurant in the most money, sometimes bean brother in order to be able to catch up with me to see late movies, often the last few table guests service finished not to get tips hurried to work early, the cinema in his overalls sitting next to the movie, sometimes watching half tired to sleep, I smell his body Japanese style teppanyaki flavor, He had to hold tightly in his hand, thinking that we could go out.

Then brother Bean put down his investment, re-found the work of the actuarial director, our life is a little back to normal. But before those seemingly long struggling days, again in retrospect, not only do not feel bitter, but feel full of warm memories. Quiet days, in our free and easy to play around and daily necessities in the ups and downs in the slowly alternating. To the wedding four years, we finally have an angel like the baby, the first cry of the child first laugh also put two people's love into a new meaning. Brother Bean and I no longer just love the two individuals, the children become our mutual into each other's life witness. At night we lie in bed, because I have a leg often make pain, Bean elder brother always put my leg in his belly to sleep, while lying around the baby but naturally put her little fat leg on my body, and I and Bean elder brother all because of the legs on their body and all night a move also dare not move. Love and warmth, so steadfast in the midst of our passing.

By the sixth year of our marriage, we were faced with a second challenge in our lives. This time, for nearly two years, I was almost devastated because of my severe depression. Forget how many times I was alone in tears or cried aloud. Eventually I decided to give up my job and give up my familiar life back to my hometown for 18 years. On the eve of leaving, I and bean brother silent, I packed the luggage, sit down in a breath to pack 5 kinds of flavor 300 more dumplings frozen in the refrigerator, each package is labeled. Brother Bean took my hand and said, nothing is snag, "go out is the most important", as I have said to him.

After six months, brother Bean also resigned with back, "You want to go where you go, where you are, where is my home" bean brother firmly said. All two of us were teenagers leaving home, floating in a foreign country for nearly 20 years and returning home to start a new life again. I often think, what makes two such a different person deeply in love and never separated? We did not have a gorgeous wedding, but we love to travel and go to many places together, our life and thousands of people like there is no stirring plot, but we in this ordinary effort to fall in with each other. Even, life does not give us an easy answer, but at the lowest time we always accompany each other to support each other, lift each other's chin, the backbone of the other side of the board, to apply Yang Lan's interpretation of love and marriage, "In addition to love, there is gandanxiangzhao of loyalty, not abandon the tacit understanding, and unforgettable kindness." ”

Time flies a blink of an eye to the 8th year of marriage, everything is slowly good, in the new city, brother Bean and I have made us love the work, let us linger on the streets, and let us like the restaurant. After the children fall asleep, we will often sneak out for a walk and chat, holding hands to talk about the past and the future. And we finally ran to Mongolia, in the vast unmanned Gobi desert, bean Brother in the middle of the night to drag me out of the tent, dazzling starlight in a moment to draw my heavy and sleepy sleepy eyes. In addition to the tent behind us, there is no trace of human civilization, no building without lights, and even no mountains no trees no clouds or wind, the Milky Way in the corner of the sky almost at hand, we two in the bright sky in each other snuggle, as if two floating free tens of thousands of light years to meet the stars.
