The sun shines obliquely into the simple but tidy village veterinary station. Veterinarian Xie Jianhua is concentrating on treating the wound of a cow. His hands are dexterous and powerful, and his eyes reveal his respect and love for life.

Sweat slid down his slightly weathered forehead and dripped onto his apron stained with blood and dirt, but he was completely unaware of it, his mind full of how to alleviate the animal's suffering as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps and anxious cries: "Doctor Xie! Doctor Xie! Something bad has happened! Your Xie Yan was playing by the river and accidentally fell in. She's now being taken to the village clinic by the villagers!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xie Jianhua's heart.

The scalpel in his hand suddenly stopped, his eyes froze instantly, and the originally focused and calm expression on his face was replaced by worry.

Those eyes that had experienced countless hardships were now red, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly unconsciously, and even breathing became difficult.

Without time to think, he immediately dropped the scalpel in his hand and rushed out the door almost instinctively, revealing his urgency and anxiety with every step.

On the way to the village clinic, Xie Jianhua's heart was beating like a drum. His daughter's innocent smile and the possible dangers she might encounter kept appearing in his mind. An unprecedented fear and powerlessness tightly wrapped around him.

When he finally rushed into the clinic panting, he saw his daughter Xie Yan lying on a simple hospital bed with his wife Lin Luping standing beside her.

Although Xie Yan's face was pale, fortunately she was still conscious. At that moment, Xie Jianhua's tense nerves seemed to break all of a sudden, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he forced himself not to let them fall.

He walked quickly forward and gently held his daughter's cold little hand with both hands. His eyes showed both relief at surviving the disaster and deep self-blame and heartache.

He used all his strength to force a gentle smile, even though there was endless worry and fear hidden behind that smile.

"Yan Yan, are you okay?"

Xie Yan lived a new life and saw her father again. She could hardly control her emotions and called out in a choked voice, "Dad."

Xie Yan's gaze froze the moment she saw Xie Jianhua. She seemed to feel that time slowed down at this moment.

She saw her father's slightly rough but powerful hands, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the anxiety and heartache that could not be hidden.

Her father, who was only 35 years old at that time, was completely different from the father lying on the dying hospital bed in her memory.

It's like an eternity.

In her previous life, she had cried countless times while looking at her father's photo when she felt helpless. If her father were still alive, he would never let her suffer such injustice.

I won't let her wander the streets.

It was a long time before she realized that the moment she lost her father, she lost her home!

In this world, the person who loves her is not her mother who always says "love", but her father who never says "love".

"What's wrong with you? Are you scared?" Xie Jianhua looked at his daughter with heartache. Two lines of tears hung on her pink and tender face. He reached out to wipe away his daughter's tears.

Xie Yan didn't say anything, but threw herself into Xie Jianhua's arms and burst into tears.

She cried out all the grievances of her previous life. The person she could only meet in her dreams was now standing in front of her alive. How could she hold back?

Xie Jianhua hugged his daughter back, stroked her head, and soothed her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, Daddy is here."

Lin Luping looked at her daughter in front of her with some surprise and her eyes flickered.

"Xie Erwa, Xie Yan is fine, don't make a fuss."

Xie Jianhua heard Lin Luping's voice and turned to look at her coldly, his words accusing: "You said you took Yanyan out to play, how did she fall into the water? Why did the villagers tell me that it was Old Zhang from the reservoir who rescued her? Where are you? Huh?"

Xie Jianhua's questioning left Lin Luping a little dazed.

His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Luping's heart.

Lin Luping finally swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice: "I...I...well, actually..."

Her words were disjointed and unconvincing. It was obvious that she was making up excuses that even she didn't believe.

Looking at Lin Luping's guilty look, Xie Jianhua became more certain of his guess.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his tone was still cold: "Lin Luping, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

"I really took Xie Yan out to play, and we walked to the forest park. She ran away by herself. I didn't know she would run to the reservoir..." Lin Luping's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of innocence, like a misunderstood child, eager to clarify her innocence, but didn't know where to start.

"This child is not sensible at all, you know that!"

Xie Jianhua didn't say anything, his eyes were full of coldness.

The woman in front of him had kidnapped his life. He had tried his best to do everything a husband should do, but she always liked to do some little tricks behind his back.

hateful.

Xie Jianhua clenched his fists and his veins bulged as he recalled the time he met Lin Luping.

Back in 1987, Xie Jianhua was a famous veterinarian in the village. That year, he was hired as a full-time employee of the village veterinary station with a monthly salary of 100 yuan.

At that time, Xie Jianhua was already 23 years old, but his income was not bad.

Farmers of the same period might only earn two or three hundred yuan a year, and steel plant employees might only earn fifty yuan a month.

He is the second child in the family. His eldest sister is married and has two sons, and the rest of his brothers are married and have children.

His parents were very anxious about his marriage and asked people everywhere to introduce him to potential partners, but he never met the right one.

Because he is a down-to-earth and hardworking person, the uncles and aunts in the village like this young man very much and want to introduce him to a blind date.

After a few visits, Aunt Wang from the steel factory next door introduced Xie Jianhua to Lin Luping, a young doctor at the township clinic.

Lin Luping's family is also a family of doctors.

Lin Luping's father, Mr. Lin Jun, is an old doctor who participated in the Vietnam War. He and Aunt Wang's best friend Jiang Cuifen have a son and a daughter.

His son Lin Hui is in high school, and his daughter Lin Luping graduated from a technical secondary school and joined the township clinic.

Lin Luping was 19 years old at the time, in the prime of her youth.

Her face is small and round. Although she has single eyelids, her eyes sparkle with a unique light, revealing a smart and clever temperament.

Her nose is slightly curved, forming a unique hooked nose, which adds a bit of heroic spirit to her.

The girl has fair and delicate skin and rosy and plump lips.

Although her height is not outstanding, her petite and exquisite beauty cannot be ignored.

When Xie Jianhua met Lin Luping for the first time, he was attracted by her appearance and temperament.

Under the guidance of matchmaker Aunt Wang, Xie Jianhua went to the Lin family when they met for the second time, bringing a lot of gifts.

Mr. Lin Jun had this son and daughter when he was 40 years old. His daughter, Lin Luping, was especially favored by the old man.

Conditions were poor in those years, and neither of Jiang Cuifen's two children survived.

Lin Luping was their first surviving child, and the couple particularly favored their daughter.

Seeing Xie Jianhua coming to their house, the two old people were extremely happy.

Xie Jianhua has good character, skills and promising future. Veterinarian is somewhat related to doctor, so Mr. Lin Jun is very satisfied.

In that era when resources were scarce and they were still inland, the old man still prepared a large table of dishes to entertain his future son-in-law.

After three rounds of drinks, Xie Jianhua was exhausted and was helped to the inner room to rest.

In the middle of the night, when Xie Jianhua woke up, he found himself still at Lin's house.

He staggered to his feet and tried to open the door to go out, but the door was locked.

Xie Jianhua knocked on the door several times, but no one responded.

There was a urine bucket in the room, so he had no choice but to relieve himself in the bucket and then lie back on the bed.

Only then did he realize that there was someone lying next to him.

A soft and fragrant body slowly approached. How could a young and strong young man in his twenties, who had no experience in sex, withstand such a test?

One ridiculous night made him regret for the rest of his life.
