Thirty years ago, Zhangjiacun and Lijiacun had only one college student, and he was a college student from a prestigious university. That person was naturally Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao was extremely smart and studied hard. He was a proud man who came out of a small mountain village. At that time, let alone Lijiacun and Zhangjiacun, there were basically very few young people who could compare with him in the entire county.
Zhang Xiao has been different since he was a child, but he is not arrogant or unruly. On the contrary, he is approachable and very gentle to others.
Zhang Xiao and Li Yan once went to the same school, but Zhang Xiao was older than Li Yan. When he was in middle school, Li Yan was in elementary school. At that time, children in Zhangjiacun and Lijiacun all went to the same school. There were not many children in the village who could afford to go to school, and even fewer who could persist.
Li Yan is also a very smart child, but because her family favors sons over daughters and the conditions are not very good, she dropped out of school as soon as she graduated from elementary school.
But Li Yan refused to give up, and she continued to study secretly. Later, Zhang Xiao saw her accidentally, and he volunteered to be Li Yan's teacher.
It’s just that Zhang Xiao had already entered high school at that time and could only come back once a week. Every time he came back, he would take the time to secretly give lectures to Li Yan and send her study materials. Later, he would also save some pocket money and give Li Yan from the county town. Buy some small things and gifts for your beloved girl.
The love of that era was very hazy, very pure and beautiful, and Zhang Xiao also cherished the time they spent together.
Until Li Yan was sixteen years old, the village chose her to be the goddess to worship the river god next year. At that time, Li Yan didn't take it seriously at all. She and Zhang Xiao learned a lot of scientific knowledge, and they were even more eager for the beautiful world outside. In her opinion, the villagers worshiping the river god are ignorant and unreliable. There are no gods in the world. Instead of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, people should be self-reliant.
Since Li Yan was chosen as the Goddess, many people came to propose marriage, but Li Yan refused them all. Sometimes she couldn't resist her parents' persuasion, so she could only use sacrificing to the river god as an excuse. In the end, the marriage proposal was naturally abandoned. Let it go.
Just a few months before the ceremony to worship the river god, Zhang Xiao went home for the summer vacation and brought back a group of college classmates.
Many of these classmates are children from the city. They have never seen such an ancient and beautiful village, so they naturally have a great time playing here.
At that time, a classmate from a wealthy family brought some delicious food and red wine.
One night, several people met for a secret drinking party by the river. With such a fun thing, Zhang Xiao naturally happily took Li Yan there.
But I didn’t expect…
At this point in the story, Zhang Xiao suddenly became speechless.
He suddenly stared at the wine bottle on the table and laughed painfully.
"Brother Zhang, you..."
Ning Huanxin felt Zhang Xiao's emotions fluctuating violently. At this moment, Ning Huanxin also felt a little confused -
Zhang Xiao is indeed the man who has always loved Li Yan, and he is also the man who has always burned paper to pay homage to Li Yan.
However, if the child in Li Yan's belly was really his, why would he, a grown man, deny it and watch the woman he loved most and his child die
This makes absolutely no sense!
Why didn't he stand up back then
