That day, the two of them didn't watch television. Instead, they went into their bedroom and took out a family photo album. They flipped to the first page which had a yellowed old photograph. On the photograph, a little girl was crawling on the ground, her big eyes looking at the world with wonder as she smiled delightfully.
Flipping towards the back, the couple, which had been speaking and laughing in the beginning, slowly felt their hearts turn heavy as they saw their daughter grow up. They began to turn quieter and quieter until their bodies were completely silent.
Finally, Bi Ruxin threw herself into Chen Danian's arms and cried.
"Alright, don't cry. You're the one always telling me that our daughter is an adult now and needs to form a family of her own. Now that she finally is forming a family of her own, why are you crying even more tragically than me?" Chen Danian said.
Bi Ruxin said, "Can't I cry a little now that she's married?"
