She stroked it, stroked it. Suddenly, she noticed something in the pocket of Jiang Mo's wedding coat. She took it out and saw that it was an old diary.

The words "Jiang Mo" were written on the lower right corner of the diary.

Su Ying lightly opened the diary.

This year, I applied for a New Year holiday and went home to spend the New Year with my grandfather.

Today is the first day of the new year, my grandfather and comrades went to drink, let me out to walk by myself, I went out for a leisurely walk under the sun.

Suddenly, he saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing these two braids and smiling brightly in the sunlight.

He saw her smiling face, which was warmer than the sun. Warm my heart, for the first time since my parents died. But I didn't ask her what her name was. I didn't know if I would ever see her again.

Today is the third day of the first month. I married the little girl I saw two years ago. I'm glad. But during the day I saw her trying to eat a candied fruit and buy one for her, but she didn't get angry and threw it away, and I don't know why.

"Pa!"

The diary dropped to the floor. A piece of paper fell out of the diary.

Su Ying picked up the piece of paper.

Opening up the paper, she discovered that there were two large words written on it: "Will of the Will".

February 1, 1988

There was a special mission tomorrow. This mission was very important. I don't know if I can hurry back to the New Year. My wife, although you won't let me call you that, I've always called you that in my heart. I don't know how many times I've written this. Every major mission required one to write a will. I hope this letter will not be handed over to you. If you have seen this letter, I am no longer here. You know what? I've known you for 12 years.

The first time I saw you was nine years ago. That time, you smiled brightly in the sun, and there was also a wooden basin beside you that contained clothes that needed to be washed. Your hands are red from the cold, but you can't feel the cold. Sing a song and smile happily. After singing a few lines, you take a few more breaths at your frozen hand, then put your hand in the basin to wash the clothes.

It was you who made me feel the warmth of my parents for the first time since they left. At that time, I was thinking, if I could see your smile every day, how great that would be, even if it shortened my lifespan by ten years. Maybe this was love at first sight?

When I was 27, I saw you again when I got home for the new year. You sit in your yard and seriously think about your homework. I'll look at you from outside your yard and look at you for a long time, but I don't feel tired at all. Then it was as if you were going to a party or something, wearing a dress and flimsy makeup, and passing through my heart like a feather. I didn't get home until you were out of my sight. After returning home, I asked Grandfather, and only then did I know your name was Su Ying.

When I knew your name, I hid it in my heart like a treasure.

When I turned 28, my grandfather sent me a letter asking me to come home for the new year and tell me that I had been engaged to a baby.

I was very angry at the time. But my grandfather was my only family, and my most respected grandfather, and I couldn't afford to be angry with him. I just said to myself. He had to cancel the engagement when he returned.

But when I came home, grandpa told me that I was engaged to have a baby with you, but I am very grateful to my grandpa. When I heard this news, I didn't sleep all night. The next day, I took the wedding gift that Grandpa had prepared for me and went to your house to propose marriage.

But when you heard the news, you refused to agree.

When you said to your parents, "I would rather die than marry me," I felt very sad.

But I told myself: It's okay, I'll be good to you after marriage, you'll love me.
