This book is also too good
Early one morning in 2003, Hu Juan hurried to a supermarket near her home. Since she recovered from giving birth, her husband behaved a little abnormally, resolutely not letting Hu Juan look in the mirror, and even became angry about it!
Hu Juan, who loves beauty, can't stand the torment of not looking in the mirror! So while her husband was at work, she quickly ran to the supermarket to buy mirrors, wanting to see her youth when she was 18 years old.
Hu Juan was young and beautiful when she was young, but after seeing her face in the mirror, she actually cried in public and even fainted. She was surprised to find that her original young age had become like an octogenarian woman, with wrinkles.
What's going on? How did her husband react to this? Now that 18 years have passed, what is Hu Juan's life? She used to be so radiant, the representative of beautiful girls.
Hu Juan was born in 1985 in a peasant family in Zhumadian, Henan Province. In this era when patriarchal thinking prevails, Hu Juan's parents are extremely open-minded, treating her as the pearl of their palms and caring for her with their hearts.
Under the careful care of her parents, Hu Juan spent a carefree childhood, and her fair skin seemed to be blown and broken, which made the girls in the village envious. Even with such a beautiful face, Hu Juan never neglects to study, and her junior high school is a key local school.
At this age of youth and ignorance, the beautiful Hu Juan naturally attracted the attention of some young boys in the class, and they expressed their love in their own ways, including Hu Juan's future husband Zhu Jichao.
Zhu Jichao loved Hu Juan deeply when he was in junior high school, and he always managed to attract Hu Juan's attention.
In Hu Juan's opinion, Zhu Jichao is a naughty and naughty bad boy, and the two have no common topic, so Hu Juan didn't pay much attention to him. What's more, Hu Juan has a big dream - that is, to be admitted to university and fight for her family!
In order to achieve this goal, Hu Juan was successfully admitted to high school, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. However, fate did not treat her kindly. When Hu Juan was about to enter her sophomore year of high school, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the family was suddenly in trouble.
After learning the bad news, Hu Juan decisively gave up her studies and decided to go south to Shenzhen to work, the year was 2000, and Hu Juan, who was only 15 years old, embarked on this journey without hesitation.
The reason why she chose Shenzhen is because some of her fellow villagers work there and earn good returns.
In order to take care of her mother, Hu Juan decided to go to the south to develop, and after many efforts, she found a job in a company that produced ski equipment, in charge of accounting and sales.
In this company, Hu Juan is diligent and hardworking, and her efforts are seen by the leaders and become the company's key training object. When Hu Juan's parents called** and offered to let her meet with Zhu Jichao, who was about to be discharged from the army, she felt very embarrassed.
Although Zhu Jichao is tall and has good family conditions, she does not have a good impression of Zhu Jichao. Therefore, Hu Juan decided to refuse Zhu Jichao when she went home for the Chinese New Year.
During the Spring Festival of that year, Zhu Jichao waited for Hu Juan at the train station, and the patience and thoughtful coat of a morning made Hu Juan admire him. During the Spring Festival after that, Zhu Jichao helped Hu Juan's parents with housework every day, and Hu Juan gradually let down her guard.
At the age of 17, they fell in love. When Hu Juan left Shenzhen, Zhu Jichao bought a popular mobile phone and said that they would contact each other every day in the future. Hu Juan gladly accepted the request.
Since then, the two have started a happy phone life, and Zhu Jichao often sings for Hu Juan. In October 2002, Zhu Jichao was honorably retired, and he immediately took Hu Juan to settle down in Shenzhen!
After that, their relationship heated up quickly, so on January 8 of the following year, they had a simple wedding, and they were just 18 years old that year! At the beginning of this century, many rural areas still retained ancient traditions, marrying and having children at an early age, and Hu Juan and Zhu Jichao were no exception.
After getting married, their lives were sweet and happy. Zhu Jichao often buys gifts for Hu Juan, including her favorite Cecilia Cheung records, which makes Hu Juan feel extremely warm.
After Hu Juan and Zhu Jichao improved their lives, they welcomed a new family member, and their son Zhu Hao was officially born on November 13, 2003, bringing more joy and laughter to their lives.
However, life is always full of surprises. During her confinement, Hu Juan found that her face was abnormally swollen, as if she had been poured water, which made her feel very uneasy.
After Hu Juan gave birth, her husband Zhu Jichao comforted her that everything would be fine, and Hu Juan was relieved after hearing it. But then, the situation began to become unpredictable. Zhu Jichao found that many wrinkles grew on his wife's face overnight, and he felt that the person sleeping next to him was no longer her.
Zhu Jichao felt distressed by his wife's beauty, and he hid the mirror while his wife was asleep, so that she would not be sad to see his changes.
Zhu Jichao lied to his wife that he needed to dress up to meet customers, took away the mirrors at home, and lied that he accidentally broke other mirrors, so he took them all away. Hu Juan was not suspicious, but after washing her face, she found that she had a lot of wrinkles on her face and felt strange.
Hu Juan found that her wrinkles were becoming more and more obvious, and no matter how much she washed, she couldn't get rid of them. At night, she asked her husband Zhu Jichao for a mirror, but her husband said that the mirror could not be found.
Hu Juan was annoyed by this and kept asking her husband. Zhu Jichao said to Hu Juan because he was angry that she should be confined with peace of mind and not always look in the mirror. Although Hu Juan eventually stopped asking for mirrors, Zhu Jichao's heart was full of worry and pain, because his wife seemed to be a teenager old overnight.
For the sake of his wife's emotions, he made up a lie in good faith to hide the changes that occurred on Hu Juan's face. Hu Juan was kept in the dark by this lie, until after the confinement, she discovered a strange phenomenon: every time she went out, people called her aunt, grandma and the like, but she was just 18 years old.
This reaction gave Hu Juan a sense of foreboding, and she wondered if she had grown old overnight. Although her heart was full of doubts, she didn't dare to confirm it, so she decided to go to the supermarket to buy a mirror to look at herself after her husband left.
Hu Juan and Zhu Jichao walked into the supermarket downstairs together, and Hu Juan began to look in the mirror as soon as she entered the door, but she saw herself in the mirror with a wrinkled face and looked like an old lady in her sixties and seventies, which made her unacceptable.
It can't be me! She couldn't hold back her tears and fell to her knees in emotion and cried. When the supermarket owner heard the commotion, he came over to comfort her.
When Hu Juan was trapped in a sudden predicament, the well-wishers around her rushed to hear the sound and mistakenly thought that an old lady had encountered an accident. But Hu Juan couldn't explain, she felt that if her experience was made public, it would be difficult for people to trust her.
Thinking of this, Hu Juan suddenly fainted, and woke up again and was already in the hospital. She looked at her haggard husband and felt his concern, but her face had changed, and Hu Juan couldn't be happy, she was worried that her appearance would make her lose the courage to see people.
After Zhu Jichao and Hu Juan learned that Hu Juan's facial disease needed to go to a professional **hospital**, they immediately began a journey to find **. Although Zhu Jichao felt fear in his heart, he was still strong by Hu Juan's side.
However, after Hu Juan returned to work, she was met with strange eyes from her colleagues and leaders, which made her unbearable, and finally decided to resign and wash her face with tears all day long.
After Zhu Jichao married Hu Juan, Hu Juan suffered from mild depression. In order to make Hu Juan's ** look better, although his salary was only 800 yuan, Zhu Jichao did not hesitate to spend 700 yuan to buy cosmetics for his wife.
Although Hu Juan knew Zhu Jichao's kindness, she was worried about her appearance in her heart, afraid that her husband would change his feelings for her because of her appearance. So she asked Zhu Jichao: "If my face becomes an old woman's, will you still love me?" ”
Zhu Jichao nodded firmly, and he assured Hu Juan: "No matter what you become, I will always love you and never give up!" ”
Zhu Jichao and Hu Juan faced her husband's words, and Hu Juan's mood was slightly relieved. However, she can't resist the habit of looking in the mirror, and whenever she sees herself in the mirror, Hu Juan's heart will be like a knife.
Once, Hu Juan was home alone, and she even swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills and attempted suicide. Fortunately, it was discovered in time to save her life. In May 2004, her husband took Hu Juan to ** Hospital for a detailed examination.
The final test result was heart-wrenching: Hu Juan suffered from an extremely rare disease - acquired **relaxation. This disease is usually congenital, and the later onset is extremely rare in the world.
Affected people** become flabby, wrinkled, and droop due to gravity, figuratively known as the "hound face". Once you have this disease, you can't**.
After Hu Juan learned of her illness, she was immersed in silence for many days. Zhu Jichao saw his wife's loneliness and decided to take her back to her hometown to recuperate, firmly believing that there would be a way for her.
In August 2004, they returned to Zhu Jichao's hometown, and Hu Juan stayed at home all the time, barely leaving home. However, the villagers still saw Hu Juan's face and began to exaggerate that Hu Juan had become an 80-year-old woman.
These remarks caused huge pressure in the village, not only put Hu Juan's family under tremendous psychological pressure, but also caused them to lose their jobs and could only rely on Zhu Jichao to support them and live on a few acres of land at home.
After learning all this, Zhu Jichao's family also came to visit Hu Juan and expressed sympathy for her plight.
