在两年前，有一座漫山遍野都是桃花的丛中你总能看到一张美丽迷人脸。她叫米阳，是米家的小女儿，她有两个姐姐，米雪和米月，不过早在两月出嫁了，家里就只剩下父亲和米阳。
Two years ago, there was a beautiful maiden lingering in the peach blossoms prospering all over the mountain. Her name is Sunshine. She still had two sisters, Snow and Moon, who got married two month ago. Now only Sunshine and her father stayed at home.
春天到了，漫山遍野的桃花开了，米阳总爱站在花丛中遥望着远方，她的眼神那么专注，那么神往，好多路人都以为她是桃仙下凡，在桃山村有很多叔婆大婶给米阳介绍对象，毕竟她也到了谈婚论嫁的时候，可每次她都婉言谢绝了。只是时不时的在花丛中遥望远方……
When spring befell, all the peach blossoms were blooming all over the mountain. At that time, Sunshine was inclined to stand among the flowers and looked afar, so attentively and wishfully that many passers-by regarded her as a goddess. Many people would like to introduce a spouse for her. After all, she had reached the age of getting married. But every time she declined politely and merely looked afar over the flowers now and then……
父亲也为她着急啊，她却对父亲说：“您不用担心，您女儿不会没人要的！”父亲也只好就此作罢。
其实在之前遇到一个有缘人告诉她，她的姻缘会在桃花盛开的春天，所以在春天她才总是望着远方，期盼着另一半……
Her father was considerably concerned about her marriage, but she said to him, “No need to worry about me, dad! There must be someone waiting for me!” Hearing this, her father just let it be. Actually in the past, there was someone telling Snow that she would meet her beloved in the peach-blossom-blooming spring. Since then, she looked afar frequently in spring, seeking the other part.
这是一个阳光明媚的早上，桃花绽放的格外美丽，米阳象往常一样在桃花丛中望着远方，这时她看到一个小伙子带领着一群人往这边来了，她就一直那边傻傻的看着。
“小姐，请问这里是桃山村吗？”
“小姐，小姐，请问……”
“喔，是，是“
米阳被男孩的帅气深深得吸引了…..
In one sunny morning when the peach blossoms were blooming ardently, Snow was looking afar over the flowers as usual. All of a sudden, she spotted a guy leading a team of people coming towards her. She kept staring at those people unconsciously. “Excuse, lady! Is it the Peach Mountain Village here?” The young man asked her. “Oh, yes, yes….” She stuttered. She was totally fascinated by the handsome man.
他叫李亚杰，是旅游团的导游，这次他们带团旅游的景点就是桃山村，其实亚杰一进村也被米阳的美貌打动了…….
后来米阳通过村长知道了亚杰的住处，就在半山腰的村长家。
His name was Li Yajie, a tourist guy in a tourism company. Now he was leading a team to visit the Peach Mountain Village. Actually he was also deeply fascinated by Snow’s beauty. Later, Sunshine learnt from the village head the address of Yajie. He was exactly living in the village head’s house in the mountainside.
第二天，米阳摘好一枝鲜艳的桃花往村长家去，走在半路上遇到了亚杰，“小姐，请问……你就是昨天我们来时见到的那位仙女。”
“啊？ 是啊”
“我叫李亚杰，你叫什么啊？”
“我，我叫米阳！”
“米阳，多好听的名字啊，你手上的花可以送给我吗？
“好啊，拿去吧！”
两人就这样认识了，亚杰邀请了米阳一起去赏花，一起说说笑笑的，一天就过去了……
The next morning, Snow picked up a buddle of fresh peach flowers and headed for the village head’s house, only to met Yajie halfway. “Excuse me, lady. Are you the ‘goddess’ I met yesterday?” “Ah? Yes!” “My name is Li Yajie. What is your name?” “Sunshine.” “What a good name! Would you mind giving me the flowers in your hands?” “Ok! Take it!” The two knew each other since then. Yajie later invited Sunshine to appreciate flowers in the mountain and they had been talking and laughing all the way without realizing that a day was slipping away……
此后每天早上，米阳总是选最好的桃花给亚杰送去，不久亚杰的房间都成花海了…….
这天天很蓝，桃花依旧绽放笑脸，亚杰团的人都回去休息了，惟有亚杰和米阳沉浸在这迷人的美景中……
“米阳，我可以追求你吗？”
“啊？”
“我说我喜欢上你了，你可以和和我拍拖吗? ”
“我得问我爸爸。”
说完羞红了脸跑开了。
米爸爸当然二话不说同意了……
Since then, Sunshine would went to Yajie’s home with the most beautiful peach flowers every morning, making his room full of flowers before long.
One day when the peach blossoms were still ardently blooming and everybody in Yajie’s team went to rest, Yajie and Sunshine were still appreciating the charming landscapes of the mountain. “Sunshine, could you be my girlfriend?” Yajie asked. “Ah?” Sunshine felt surprised. “I mean I love you, so could you be my girlfriend?” “I must ask my dad for assent.” Then Sunshine went away with cheeks burning red and told her father about it. Needless to say, her father agreed on the spot.
从此两人天天粘在一起，谁也离不开谁了。
终于有一天亚杰得带团回去了，他向米阳承诺，一周后便回来接她…亚杰就这样走了……
亚杰走后，米阳的心也跟着亚杰走了，每天失魂落魄的，不过还是一如既往的在花丛中看看远方，期盼着亚杰回来……
Since then, the two were attached to each other every day. Nonetheless, Yajie had to lead the team back eventually. Before departure, he promised Sunshine that he would come back to her in a week. Then he left……
Since Yajie’s departure, Sunshine’s heart appeared to be also away. She felt upset every day but still would look afar over the flowers, waiting for Yajie’s coming back.
一周过去了，这天米阳早早起来打扮好自己，在老地方等待着她心爱的人，一天过去了，连个人影也没有，米阳的心凉了，她怕，怕他再也不会回来了，父亲看在眼里痛在心里啊……
从此，米阳的脸上没有了笑容，失去了以前象桃仙一样的粉红脸蛋儿，人也一天天憔悴了……
One week passed by and Sunshine rose very early this morning and dressed herself up, waiting for Yajie in the old place. But at the sunset, she could not see him and felt cold in heart. She was worried that he would never come back. Seeing all this, her father felt painful in heart.
Since then, smile did not appear on Sunshine’s face. She was pining away day by day……
3个月后亚杰突然回来，他看见米阳现在的样子，心痛极了，一下子哭了出来，只从牙缝里挤出三个字“对不起”
“亚杰”米阳一下子激动跑出来抱住了亚杰：“我就知道你不会不要我的！”
“米阳，对不起……”
这时从亚杰身后走出一位时髦的女子，猛推开米阳，恶狠狠的对米阳说：“请你放尊重一点，他是我的未婚夫！”
After three months, Yajie came back suddenly. Seeing Sunshine’s miserable condition, he felt heart-broken and could not help crying out. He squeezed a word from his month, “Sorry!!!”
“Yajie!” Sunshine rushed to him and hugged him. “I know you would come back to me again! You will not leave me alone.” “Sorry, Sunshine……” Yajie said in a low voice.
At this moment, a lady in fashion dress walked to the front of Yajie and pushed Sunshine away fiercely, yelling angrily at her, “Please mind your manners! He is my fiancé!”
原来亚杰是一个富二代，他的父亲早已为他安排好了一切，那个女孩叫安琪，是父亲指定给亚杰的未婚妻，这一切亚杰从未对米阳提起过。
“米阳，我不是故意要骗你的！”
“还有什么好说的，走了，亚杰你父亲还等着我们回去吃饭呢？”说完拉着亚杰头也不回得上车走了。
Yajie’s family was very wealthy and his father had arranged his marriage for him. The lady was Anqi and designated to be his fiancée by his father. But Yajie did not mention this to Sunshine before.
“Sunshine, I am not intended to cheat you!”
“There is no need to explain. Please go and your father is waiting for us to dine!” the lady said and pulled Yajie’s hands and drove away.
米阳万念俱灰，一下子晕一过去，父亲赶紧将其送往医院。
过了许久，医生把父亲叫到办公室语重心长得说：“您的女儿得得是遗传性白血病，已是晚期，哎，恕我无能为力……”
父亲听完直捶自己的脑袋，“自作孽！，自作孽啊！”他走到女儿的病床前，努力掩饰自己的伤心，米阳早已知道自己的时日不多，也不觉得流出了泪水……
Sunshine felt desperate then, fainting away immediately. her father sent her to hospital right away. After quite a while, the doctor told her father that she came down with genetic leukemia and it was in terminal stage. Hearing this, Sunshine’s father could not help striking his own head. He came to his daughter’s bed and tried every means to cover his sadness. But Sunshine knew that her days were few and teared sadly.
“女儿，你有什么要做的，让我这个老头子来为你做最后一点事吧？”
“爸爸，你能让我见亚杰最后一面吗？”
“好，父亲这就去找”
茫茫人海到哪去找啊，父亲只好到城里慢慢打听，后来才知道亚杰在李氏集团，就直奔李氏集团了，不料门前的警卫不让进，几次将他轰了出去，一把老骨头经不起这般折腾，只好回到了医院……
“My dear daughter, what do you want to do? Please tell me and I will do it for you.” Her father said.
“Dad, could I see Yajie again?”
“Ok, I will go to send for him.”
However, it was very hard to find someone in an ocean of people. Sunshine’s father went to the town and asked numerous people all the way. Finally he was told that Yajie was working in a big company group. After he arrived at the company, he was barred and sent away by the guards several times. Ultimately, without a better solution, he had to return to the hospital……
回到医院后就往女儿病房去，刚走到门口，护士告诉父亲“米先生，你的女儿……已经去了，我们实在找不到您……”
还没等护士说完就冲了进去，看到女儿的脸被白布蒙着，父亲痛哭头着跪了下去“阳阳，父亲对不起你，连最后一点事都没为你办到，我没用啊，没用！……
米阳走了，带着痛苦和遗憾走了……
After returning to the hospital, he went straight to his daughter’s ward. At arriving at the door, he was told by a nurse that his daughter had gone to the Heaven. Without even finishing listening the nurse’s words, he rushed to the bed and saw his daughter’s face covered by a piece of pale cloth, crying heavily. He said miserably, “My dear daughter, I am not a qualified father who could not do the thing you asked me to do before you were gone……”
Sunshine was gone, with pain and pity……
又是一年春天，桃花依然那么美丽妖艳，可是花丛中再也看不到那个桃仙了，桃花也似乎在悄悄地流眼泪。
“大叔”突然听到有人在叫，父亲回头一看是亚杰，父亲生气得回过头来，理也不理。
“大叔，对不起，我错了，我回去没多久和安琪分手了，我发现我爱的是米阳，您能让你见见她吗？”
“你滚，我是不会让你见她的，”
亚杰苦苦得恳求着米父亲，父亲矜持了很久，还是松了口：“当初我去你公司找你，你去了哪里，啊？”
“您什么时候来找过我啊，我怎么不知道？”
“哎！我的阳阳啊，你怎么这这么走了啊？”父亲对亚杰说了一切。
“我不相信，我不相信，我不相信！”
说着跌跌撞撞得往山上走去，一边走一边嘴里叫着米阳的名字，可惜她再也听不到了。
亚杰走到米阳以前最爱站的那个地方，那里桃花好美，一切还是那么美丽，惟有不同的是，桃花丛中多了一座矮矮的坟墓……
“米阳……”
从那以后桃山村多了一道风景，每年春天总有一个男人往一座矮矮的坟上插满桃花……
Another spring came, bringing the ardently beautiful peach flowers again, among which however, we could never see Sunshine, a goddess-like maiden again. The flowers were seemingly crying for her soundlessly.
“Uncle!” someone was calling Sunshine’s father. When he turned round, he saw Yajie. He felt terribly irritated and kept speechless.
“Uncle, sorry! I know I am wrong. I broke down with Anqi before long after we were back. I know that I love Sunshine. Could you let me see her?”
“Go out of my house! I will never let you see her!”
Yajie was pleading Sunshine’s father bitterly for a long time. Finally, Sunshine’s father asked him, “I went to your company to find you before. Where had you been at that time?”
“When did you come to me? I don’t know!”
“Oh, my dear daughter! How could you leave us in this way?” Then the old man told Yajie everything.
Hearing all the story, Yajie shouted, “I don’t believe it! I don’t!!!”
Then he dashed to the mountain, calling Sunshine’s name all the way. Piteously, she could no longer hear it any more.
Yajie went to the place where Sunshine would like to stand most. The peach blossoms were still as fantastic as before, but one thing different was that there was a tomb among the flowers……
“Sunshine!!!” Yajie called her dolefully.
Since then, it was often seen in every spring that there was a man studding the small tomb with peach flowers carefully…… |
