I didn't recognize her because my third child was terminally ill.

1In the early spring of 974, Jingqiu and several classmates were selected by the school to interview villagers in a place called Xiping Village, and then wrote the history of the village into the textbook. On the way to Xiping Village, they saw a hawthorn tree with red flowers. Jingqiu was arranged to live in the village head's house. When she first met her third son who worked in the exploration team, she was attracted by his beautiful accordion sound. The third son played Jingqiu's favorite Soviet song Hawthorn Tree. Gradually, Lao San and Jing Qiu became familiar with each other, and hazy and pure feelings spread unconsciously. Soon, after the interview, Jingqiu returned to the city. One morning in May, she found a large cluster of blooming hawthorn flowers secretly sent by the third child outside the door, which was very sweet. From then on, the two began to meet at the pavilion by the river like spy joints. The third one confided her love to Jingqiu. In the cold spring breeze, they are wrapped in military coats and their hearts are closer.
In a blink of an eye, Jingqiu graduated. At this time, the state has issued a policy that teachers' children can take up posts instead of their parents. In order to prevent Jingqiu from going to the countryside to receive re-education for poor middle peasants, Jingqiu's mother retired early and put her on the job. However, the formalities were delayed again and again, and in that special era, the family had to be careful everywhere. In the days of waiting for approval, Jingqiu worked odd jobs everywhere to earn money, and occasionally secretly dated the third child. However, their relationship was discovered by Jingqiu's mother. She talked deeply with her third son, but she didn't explicitly object to their relationship. She just wants her third son to think of Jingqiu, and don't let it affect her future. She also made an appointment with her third son for "three chapters of the contract": after one year, Jingqiu's work is stable and they can meet again. For the future of his beloved, Sanzi held back all kinds of inner feelings, told Jingqiu to take care, and left with a smile. In the following days, Jingqiu successfully became a teacher. Although she missed the third child, she didn't dare to violate the "three chapters of the contract" with her mother. It was not until Chang Fang said that the third child had leukemia and was admitted to the county hospital that she rushed to the hospital desperately, but the third child in the ward said airily that she just caught a cold. Jingqiu believed it and they had a sweet and happy day. When he left, the third son gave Jingqiu a piece of hawthorn red cloth to make clothes.
Since then, Jingqiu has never heard from the third child. One day, a PLA man came to the school to find Jingqiu, saying that the third child wanted to see her. Jingqiu changed into that hawthorn red coat and was taken to the hospital by car. In the ward, Jingqiu finally met the lover he missed so much, but at this time, he was dying. It turns out that the third child really has leukemia. Before he died, he stared at the ceiling because there was a portrait of Jingqiu on it. Jingqiu knelt in front of the bed and shouted her lover's name desperately, but failed to stop him from leaving. The third child left, and according to his last wish, his ashes were buried under the hawthorn tree with red flowers.
