Guyuan got up, took a photo album out of his bedroom and handed it to Gu Nian.
They sat next to each other and opened the first page. It was an old photo that looked at least decades old.
The photos are black and white, half length.
In the photo, there are two people, a man and a woman. They look like they are in their twenties. Even now, they look very good.
The woman's shoulders were half against the man, with a shallow smile on her face, and her eyes were particularly bright.
Those eyes are also very beautiful apricot eyes.
The man's facial features are three-dimensional, and the big eyes with double eyelids are also bright.
Vaguely, you can see the shadow of the ancient abyss.
Gu Nian had a guess in his heart and looked up at Gu Yuan: "is this?"
"This was taken by your grandmother and me on our wedding day." Gu Yuan replied with a smile that his old eyes with wrinkled corners looked at the old photo with light in their eyes.
"Your grandmother used to be a daughter of gold. If her family hadn't declined, she wouldn't have married me. She just suffered when she was young and didn't have a good health. Although she has been recuperating since she married me, she is still worse than ordinary people. Later, when she gave birth to your mother, she suffered a lot of bleeding and lost her vitality. When your mother was nine years old, she died."
Although decades have passed, I still can't forget the deep love and the memory of my dead wife.
It is said that in the past, cars and horses were very slow and letters were far away, so you can only love one person in your life.
Gu Yuan only loved his dead wife all his life.
Although he was only in his thirties when his wife died and was in his prime, many people put their minds on him.
But Gu Yuan never wanted to marry again. He just wanted to raise his daughter.
Gu Yuan turned the page of the album and there were nine photos of a family of three in the back.
Photos of ancient autumn frost in one month and annual birthdays from one year old to eight years old.
But Gu Qiushuang's mother didn't wait for her ninth birthday.
Then from the age of nine, only Gu Yuan and Gu Qiushuang's father and daughter were left in the picture.
Until Gu Qiushuang was 18, they took a picture every year.
"Your mother has been very sensible and smart since she was a child. She will help me take care of your grandmother. She will also follow me to deal with herbs, boil ointments, and even learn basic medical principles. She has always been obedient and disobeyed me twice in her life."
Gu Yuan sighed and seemed to be getting older again. He continued: "once she didn't listen to me and had to go to the Sloan University in country J. once she insisted on keeping you when I didn't allow her to give birth to you."
No wonder Gu Yuan ordered Gu Qiushuang to kill the child at that time, because Gu Qiushuang was unwilling to say who the child's father was at that time, and it was even more impossible to let the child's father be responsible.
That's his daughter. She's only twenty years old and so young. How can she give birth to a child without knowing it!
And at that time, the thought in Gu Qiushuang's stomach was just an embryo.
In Gu Yuan's heart, of course, daughter is more important!
But Gu Qiushuang refused to kill the child. She knelt on the ground and apologized to Gu Yuan, saying that she had to give birth to the child.
How could Gu Yuan be cruel to his only relative.
So she bit her teeth and could only agree with her to give birth to a child.
"I told your mother at that time that you didn't want to tell me who her father was. I won't ask. In the future, if there are men or women in my stomach, they will call me Grandpa."
"Then your mother stayed at home, only when she was six months pregnant..."
She knew what was behind her, but when she heard it again from Gu Yuan, she was more angry than she had known before.
She looked through the album and grew up year by year. She changed from a small doll carved with powder and jade to a graceful girl's ancient autumn frost. Her heart seemed to be as painful and stuffy as being held by someone.
"Grandpa is useless. He didn't protect you and your mother, which made you..."
Gu Yuan's voice choked, and there were painful tears in his eyes.
