Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty Two

I didn't bother to ask Ye Shengnan to explain, but Ye Shengnan came to attack me.She came directly to the team, and my disciples and grandchildren were very embarrassed when they saw her coming. They didn't know whether to continue to call her sister-in-law or to call her sister, and they didn't know whether to be more enthusiastic or indifferent towards her. They all slipped out one by one, and she and I were the only ones left in the huge house.She was well-dressed and well-dressed, with a cream-yellow woolen coat over a dark green suit skirt, her hair had returned to black, she had put on light makeup, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she looked young and beautiful, not as gaudy as before.She is very inconsistent with our shift room. Our place is the world of working people. It is simple, messy, and there is a smell of sweat and oil that can never be eliminated.Her sudden attack made me very embarrassed. I was about to go to the scene. I took off half of my clothes, half of my work clothes, and my leather shoes.The most embarrassing thing for me was that the sock just had a hole in the part of the big toe, and the big toe in the toe poked out to peek at Ye Shengnan who was sitting opposite and hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Can you wait outside, I'll change my clothes." She snorted disdainfully: "What's the big deal, I haven't seen anything like yours? If you want to change it, I'll wait here." She put on a provocative posture, and I sat on the long chair helplessly, not daring to move, my trousers had been taken off, and I suddenly remembered that there were also two worn holes in the buttocks of my underpants , I don’t have underpants, or I’m too lazy to change them, in order not to let her see my ass, even though like she said, she has seen all my stuff, including my ass, and she may even be tired of seeing it. Wanyi is still unwilling to let her see it, because now she has no right to look at me at will, and I have no obligation to let her look at it casually.For this reason, I had no choice but to sit still and rely on the wooden bench to cover my shame. When I met her in this situation, first of all, I was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. I tried to hide my feet in the shoes, and she found out. I deliberately stared at my feet, and grinned exaggeratedly: "You are not much better than before without me, your two eldest brothers have come out, and when all ten brothers come out, you can set up a table for dinner. "

I pretended to be calm: "What's the matter? It's not like I didn't wear broken socks when you were my wife." "Even if I am your wife, I have no obligation to mend your socks. The people in your family are all male chauvinists, and it's all your mother's habit. The purpose of marrying a wife is to serve you. The men in your family are not If you need to marry a wife, it is enough to hire a nanny.” I was annoyed, and she said that I don't care about anything, she has no right to dictate to my family, let alone my mother.I couldn't help scolding her: "Who the hell are you? Why gossip about our family?"

She ignored my attitude, and said to me calmly: "Don't be angry, I didn't intend to slander your family members, I just stated a fact objectively, think about it, your dad did a finger job at home No? Your mother is like your old nanny. She earns money at get off work and works after work. I won’t say anything about your father. Anyway, he has never done housework, and he can’t do it. He used to be a big leader with a lot of work , did not develop the habit of doing housework, but what about you? What qualifications do you have to be uncles at home? Just because you are men? Your mother cooks, washes, and cleans all day long to serve you. When you go home, you are either bragging or watching TV. Who wants to help her with some work? In your family, a woman is a nanny, a vassal of a man, but she can't be better than a man, you can't admit it. "

What she said is the truth. This is a traditional habit in our family. Our family, including my mother, never thought there was anything wrong with it. Does this mean that our family has machismo?This doesn't mean much, because she ignores an important fact: In our family, my mother has the final say on housework.Her hard work won her the right to make decisions in the family.Psychologically, we have never thought that women should serve us. I admit that the men in our family are lazy and don't like to do housework, but that's what the women in the family are used to. Ye Shengnan is right about this, but she But I don't understand why my mother spoils us so much, because she loves us and regards us as her life.Similarly, we love her deeply, even though we don't do housework, if necessary, we can do anything for her, I don't think Ye Shengnan understands this at all.I used these words in my head to refute her nonsense, but I didn't say it. I don't want to discuss with her whether there is machismo in our family. She has lost the qualification to discuss this issue with me.

"Our family's affairs have nothing to do with you now, thank you for still caring so much about our family's affairs." Ye Shengnan said: "Of course I didn't come to you to discuss whether there is masculinity in your family. Whether there is or not, it really has nothing to do with me now. I just saw you like this today and suddenly felt a little touched. I I can't imagine how you, your father, and Yang Chenglong would live without your mother." I just wanted to say that I can still make trough cakes without rotten eggs, but no one would eat even hairy pigs without Li Zhang butcher. I suddenly realized that if I said that, my mother would be scolded. My mother is not a rotten egg, let alone a butcher Zhang. , So I slammed on the brakes, and finally didn't let her trap me in and scold myself.

"What do you want to see me today?" Ye Shengnan's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she said word by word: "I want Yang Chenglong." She didn't raise this issue during the divorce agreement. If she had asked for the balls at that time, our marriage might not be divorced, because it is impossible for me and our family to give the balls to her.She didn't expect that it had been so long since the divorce, but she raised this question. "Impossible." I replied curtly. "Then I have to pass the law to get Yang Chenglong's custody back."

"Whatever you want, even if the court awards Dandan to you, you don't want to get him." I remembered Dandan's words about sharing weal and woe with me, so I added another sentence: "I don't think Dandan himself will be with you, Don't think you have a broken car." She understands that I can do what I say, but let’s not talk about whether the court can really award the ball to her. Even if the award is awarded to her, I can’t give her the ball. Unpredictable, she is even more unpredictable.She suddenly shouted: "Dadan Yang, don't bully others too much, and don't do things too badly!"

Her sudden cry attracted attention, and my disciples and grandchildren all poked their heads in to check. Seeing that nothing happened to us, they all retracted their heads.I didn't care about my dignity at this time, I stood up and put on work clothes. Anyway, she said that she has never seen anything on me. She is not afraid of me, what a big man is afraid of?She seemed to know that the bottom of my underpants was exposed, so she deliberately turned around behind me. I turned around and tried to hide the back of my body and show her the front of my body.This made it very difficult for me to wear work clothes, and it was almost impossible to avoid her eyes.She actually laughed hahaha: "It's so embarrassing, it would look better if you didn't wear pants."

I simply stopped dodging, and finally put on my overalls, and said to her, "I'm sorry, I don't have as much free time as you, I have to go to work." This is the best excuse for me to get rid of her entanglement. Since it is impossible for me to agree to her request, and there is no compromise solution, it will be a waste of time and energy for me to talk to her about it.At this time, the director of the workshop came. The director of the workshop was one of my apprentices. Later, he went to a TV university majoring in mechanical engineering.He must have come to urge us to see that we hadn't arrived at the scene. His arrival made me more convincing to get rid of Ye Shengnan's entanglement. As soon as he pushed the door, I quickly said to him: "I'll go right away." I didn't expect this The guy who couldn't wink thought he was smart, and when he saw Ye Shengnan, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Oh, sister-in-law... Sister Ye is here, master, please speak slowly if you have something to do, don't go to the scene today, I just let them go gone."

I scolded him secretly in my heart, but there was nothing I could do. Ye Shengnan said: "The director is on leave, and you don't need to work on site to deal with me. If you don't give me an answer today, you can't do it." I said, "I've already given you an answer, it's impossible for you to give Eggy to you. If you have the ability, go to the court, and I will accompany you in a lawsuit." Ye Shengnan sneered and said: "Your heart is too dark, let me tell you, I didn't have to rob Yang Chenglong from you, you forced it out. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, if I don't want Yang Chenglong back, I will Swear not to be human." "What you want to do is your business, but I want to tell you, I, Yang Wei, have all kinds of bad things and all kinds of problems, but my heart is definitely not dark." "Hmph," she stared at me full of hatred, "Your heart is not black? You incited the child to deny his mother, provoked our mother-child relationship, and tried every means to sever our mother-child relationship. How dare you say that your heart is not black?" ? When you did this, did you ever think that it was hurtful!" I am absolutely innocent in this matter, Eggy followed me, and I never said a word to Ye Shengnan in front of him, even though I didn't think much of what she did.Dandan wants to see her grandparents, I have never stopped, Ye Shengnan just needs to call Dandan to see her, and I will send her there, but now she says that I provoke their mother-child relationship and want to sever their mother-child relationship, it is simply nonsense talk.I think if she really sues me to get back the custody of Dandan, this is probably her reason.I was going to take the time to find an opportunity to tell her that there was no other reason for Dandan not to ride in her car that day, it was just an act of loyalty from a boy, because I couldn’t ride in her car, don’t say I’m Dandan Dandan's father, even if I am Dandan's friend and classmate, in such a situation, according to Dandan's temperament, I would not just drive away by myself and throw my classmates or friends into the wind and sand.I also want to tell her that I didn't take her car that day because I was jealous of her owning a car, or trying to make trouble with her. The only reason was that her car couldn't fit mine. After all, it was just a car. , not Boeing 737, even if it is Boeing 737, so what?Just because she has a Boeing 737, she is not Ye Shengnan anymore, nor am I Yang Wei or Yang Dadan.Although I don't have a car, if I want to use a car, I can't get a car wherever I say hello?To me, it doesn’t matter that Dandan and I didn’t take Ye Shengnan’s car that day. Maybe I would take the initiative to ask her to borrow a car when I needed to ride. If I didn’t ride a bicycle that day, maybe I would take her car .However, just because Dandan and I didn't ride in her car, it became a heinous crime on me in her mind, so much so that she wanted to go to court with me to fight for the custody of the child, and we divorced I didn't go to court all the time, and I find it funny that I have to go to court after divorce. She turned her face away angrily and looked at the jujube trees outside the window. There are two jujube trees outside our shift room. These two trees grow very intimately, and the trunks are tangled together. If you don’t look carefully, you will think It is a tree with two crowns. Some people in our workshop call them husband and wife trees, some call them lover trees, and some call them broken shoe trees.It was the season of late winter and early spring, the branches of the tree were withered, and the trunk was trembling in the howling wind.The rumbling sound of machinery and equipment running came from outside, but the voices of people in our team could not be heard. It is estimated that everyone was driven to work by the director.The shift room was quiet, she didn't speak and I had nothing to say, I wasn't going to explain anything to her anymore, under her mindset, whatever I said would be regarded as a lie by her, and she would regard me as a lie. Avoid concocted excuses for going to court. "These two trees grow very interestingly, like a pair of lovers." She said this suddenly, her tone was calm, as if she hadn't yelled at me hysterically just now.This is also her style, it was like this in the past, sometimes when she was talking well, she would suddenly become angry, and you couldn't figure out which words were not to her liking.Sometimes she is angry, and when you are ready to have a big fight with her, she suddenly calms down.I don't know if it's a pathology, but that's what she is.Therefore, living with her is sometimes very tiring, and there is always a sense of crisis like walking on eggshells, because her emotions are really difficult to control.I deliberately spoiled her interest by telling her that the names of the two trees were broken shoe trees. She said with a straight face: "Worthless, why do good things always have to be said so despicably." I didn't understand who she said was wicked. I didn't know whether she took the opportunity to scold me or scold those who called these two trees broken shoe trees. I didn't have the heart to figure it out.Everyone else has gone to work, but I am chatting with her here. I am uneasy. Anyway, I am a model worker in the city and a technician-level technical backbone in the factory. It is my duty to lead by example. I was eager to send her away, and I was tired of communicating with her, so I said: "You go back first, what should you do, you don't care if you call me black-hearted or call me outrageous, in short, the balls are mine, and it's yours too. Yes, no matter who he lives with, if you think I won’t recognize you as a mother if I provoke the balls, then you should first think about why others want to provoke the relationship between you and your son, and why your mother and child will be separated when others provoke you. Now that you have become a mother and child, do you think the relationship between Eggy and you will be so fragile? You go back and think about it for yourself, and you can do whatever you want, and there is no need to discuss it with me." She didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, and began to analyze the root of my sinister intentions: "If you hadn't instigated Yang Chenglong, he would never have taken your broken bicycle instead of taking a car in such a big sandstorm. If you hadn't instigated him, I braved the wind to pick him up and he would never be so indifferent to me. Why don't you take my car? Just to keep Yang Chenglong from sitting. You know that as long as you don't get in my car, Yang Chenglong won't. You The reason why you did this is because you hate me, since you divorced, you pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, you have always hated me in your heart. " "Why do I hate you?" I'm telling the truth, I really don't hate her, isn't the relationship between husband and wife a kind of fate in the end?When the fate comes, they will get married and become husband and wife. When the fate is over, they will divorce and go their own way. I think the fate between me and her is over. Divorce is inevitable. It is just a matter of time. The boat digs one last hole.Besides, in the 1990s, who would take divorce seriously?When a family breaks up, two new families may be born, just like low-level organisms reproduce by dividing cells, which is not necessarily a bad thing. "Stop pretending, the reason you hate me is because I filed for divorce first, you think I dumped you and hurt your manly self-esteem, if you filed for divorce first, do you think it was you who dumped me?" If you lose me, you may not hate me anymore. Just because you hate me, you try every means to get revenge on me. Sowing a relationship between me and my son is the best way for you to get revenge on me. You are too dark and shameless. You have always been like this, willing to be mediocre, but you can't tolerate me being better than you. At that time, I was going to take the university entrance exam and you found all kinds of excuses to stop me. You are happy that I didn't pass the exam. I worked hard to earn money Now, you spread rumors and slandered me for running away with other men, because I am stronger than you and you can’t tolerate me. I bought a car, and you are even more angry. How can there be a reason for a woman to drive a car and a man to ride a bicycle? So you Don’t get in my car, and don’t let my son sit in my car. This is what you think deep down in your heart. Don’t think I don’t understand your thoughts. I’ve known you for half my life, and I’ve slept in the same bed with you for more than ten years. , I know better than anyone else what you are. Why can't women be stronger than men? Is it a sin for women to be stronger than men? Tell me, tell me..." "Do you really think you are better than me?" Her accusation made me laugh and cry. At this moment, I suddenly realized that breaking up with her was indeed an absolutely reasonable ending.It never occurred to me that she lived with me in this state of mind. She always thought she was better than me, always thought I was a mediocre and incompetent man, and always thought that I couldn't tolerate her being better than me. Followed.Because, I have never considered who is stronger between me and her. The couple, what is the difference between being strong or not? No matter how strong she is, she is still my wife. I never thought she was better than me, of course, I never thought I was better than her, I never thought about this kind of problem. "Of course I am stronger than you, even if I am stronger than you, you can't admit it." "Okay, okay, you are better than me. You are a boss, you have money and a car, and I have been a worker for half my life. You are indeed better than me, okay?" I thought about it and asked her, "President, Not to mention the Premier of the State Council, the Minister of the State and other high-ranking officials. We don’t know them, and they don’t know us. Let’s just talk about the people we know. Can you tell me who is better than you among the people we all know? powerful?" She froze and asked me, "What do you mean by that?" I told her: "I mean, among the people we know, I am afraid that there is no one who can make you admire. In your consciousness, only you are the strongest. If the organization department is not blind, you will be the secretary of the municipal party committee. And it’s definitely better than the current one.” "I didn't say that anyone is inferior to me, and I didn't say that everyone is worse than me, but I know that I am better than you." "Okay, okay, you are better than me, then please tell me immediately someone who you think is better than you, who is in our circle of acquaintances." She really thought about it silently, and after thinking about it for a while, she didn't say a name.I said: "Don't think about it, you can't make it up now. You are actually an egomaniac. In your eyes, no one is as good as you. As for me, to be honest, I neither feel that I am better than you, nor I don't feel inferior to you, although you have a lot of bad money, bought a broken car, and opened a hot pot restaurant, but I know what I am doing every day and why I do it. After working hard and sweating, you will be recognized by the society. What about you? Besides earning two dollars, what else do you have?” I said this with confidence. Not only have I been a model worker in the city for two consecutive years, but recently I was also recommended as a provincial model worker, and it is likely to become a national model worker. This is the recognition I got after paying. Ye Shengnan fell silent, staring at me fixedly, I thought I convinced her, but she was at the end of her mind.Unexpectedly, she laughed suddenly: "Yang Wei, Yang Wei, I really admire you. Are you still living in the 1960s? Or are you going back to the 50s? I know you are a model worker. Oh, that's bullshit. Even if you become a national model worker, how much money can you earn a year? Do you know how much I earn a month now?" I asked her: "Do you think money can prove everything? Does the value of a person depend on how much money he can earn?" Ye Shengnan said: "Of course, money is the minimum and fairest standard to measure a person's value. This is the commodity economy. Why did the contractor you know, Mr. Zhang, be a representative of the Municipal People's Congress? He can't read a few big characters, isn't it Is it because he has money? Going further, don’t those big capitalists in Hong Kong and Macau all become vice-chairmen of the CPPCC, vice-chairmen of the National People’s Congress, members of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC, members of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC, members of the CPPCC, and representatives of the National People’s Congress? Why? People have money, and whoever has more money will be a big official. You have to admit this fact, right? Your father and my father, those old cadres, have worked so hard to follow the Communist Party for half their lives. Suffered? What do you get now? It’s a pension of about 1,000 yuan a month, and even the house you live in is owned by the public. Do you remember? It’s Aunt Min’s wife. I invited him to my hot pot restaurant for dinner a few days ago. I think the words he said made the most sense. Do you know what he said?” Uncle Jiang is the chairman of the old trade union in our city, a cadre of the 38th type, who is in the same group as my father and the others, and has been retired for several years.I don't know what proverbs he can give Ye Shengnan, I am a little curious: "What did he say?" "He said that it is better not to make a revolution than to make a revolution, and it is better to counter-revolution than not to have a revolution." In the past, this was a serious reactionary statement, and he could be called a counter-revolutionary with this sentence. In the past, he was most afraid of being called a counter-revolutionary, but now that no one calls him a counter-revolutionary, he envies the counter-revolutionary. "In that case, if you let him blow up the city committee building, you will definitely become a counter-revolutionary. If it is not enough weight, you can bomb the provincial party committee and the Great Hall of the People. As long as he wants to be a counter-revolutionary, it will not be easy." Ye Shengnan said: "I said you have no level, but you have no level. You can't even understand what they say. They didn't say they want to be counter-revolutionaries. What they mean is that counter-revolutionaries with current policies are more popular than old revolutionaries like them. They are not convinced. , a little emotional, understand?" It's not that I don't understand Uncle Jiang's meaning.Now that the party’s united front policy has been implemented, coupled with reform and opening up to attract investment, capitalists from various countries, Japanese devils, and Kuomintang reactionaries have all returned to the mainland one after another, and they have been warmly welcomed by party and government officials.On the contrary, many retired veteran cadres are not only ignored when they have difficulties, and even officials who come to them are shy away and hide away.Comparing the two, veteran cadres are naturally psychologically unbalanced, feeling lost and having opinions, which is also a reality.However, this is different from Ye Shengnan's saying that money can determine everything.Although I am a rough worker, I can clearly distinguish this boundary. How can someone as shrewd as Ye Shengnan not be able to distinguish?It suddenly occurred to me that I had been arguing with her for almost a morning, and it suddenly occurred to me that she and I were not married anymore, and it suddenly occurred to me that the purpose of her coming to me was to get back the balls, and I suddenly understood, and I discussed these things with her. It was a waste of time to talk about questions that were unclear when we were living together in the past, so I got up and said to her: "I am different from you. You are the boss now, and no one cares about you. I rely on labor for a living, and I have apprentices." Disciples and grandchildren stare at me, there are leaders in charge, and I still have my own work. I have no conditions, time, or freedom to accompany you to discuss the major policies of the party and the country in life research. There is no discussion about the balls. I have never corrupted you in front of him, believe it or not, you can do whatever you want, I will not promise you, I have to go to work." I walked out while talking, Ye Shengnan didn't seem to have talked enough, she sat still, but I had already walked out, she was embarrassed to block me with her body, she is not my wife anymore, she can no longer be as casual as before Then there was physical contact, and she would look a bit rambunctious, and she would lose weight in front of me, so she had to come out with me.Her white Santana was parked not far from the door, and my two disciples and grandchildren circled the car faithfully, looking after the car for their former mistress.Seeing Ye Shengnan coming over, they greeted them somewhat flatteringly, and Ye Shengnan enthusiastically invited them to her shop to improve things: "You guys get 50% off when you come." After finishing speaking, they got into the car and ran away. "What the hell are you doing here when you don't work?" I vented my anger on them and yelled at them. "The director asked us to watch Sister Ye's car here, for fear that someone with cheap hands would harm her car." The two little bastards ran away in a hurry. I was in a bad mood all day, and I scolded two apprentices and a grandson while working.None of them answered back, they pretended to be very obedient, and I felt that they were pitying me and sympathizing with me.My wife dumped me, and now they are having children again, and there is smoke coming out of the rear of their four wheels, and I still have two legs and two wheels, and I have to consume my own energy wherever I go.The more they pitied me, the angrier I became. I issued an order that anyone who dared to go to Ye Shengnan's hot pot restaurant to enjoy a 50% discount would not be spared. They promised not to go.But I understand in my heart that they can't wait to cook hot pot after work, which can be half the price. People nowadays are so realistic. After get off work, I went directly to school to pick up Dandan. Although Dandan would not welcome me to pick him up under normal circumstances, I still went.Since Ye Shengnan proposed to take Dandan away, she will definitely do everything possible to do it, and she will never give up until she achieves her goal. This woman has such an evil spirit.Although I am not afraid of her, although I do not believe that she can really take Eggy away from me, but I have a sense of crisis. I don't know what method she will take to deal with me. I also know that I will be very sad in the future. It's time. On the way home, I intentionally asked Eggy: "Eggy, what would you do if your mother asked you to follow her?" Eggy said: "Go out with her, have a meal or something, if you let me live with her, I won't do it." I was happy, and quickly asked: "Why? Your mother has a car. After following her, she will be able to take a car when she picks you up again." Eggy said: "I'm uncomfortable with her, she's too nagging, it's boring to tell me to wash my hands, wash my face and do my homework all day long. If I take her car, she will also nagging in the car, always in my ears Nagging on the Internet, she will grow old before I do.” What Eggy said made me happy. There was a seller of kebabs next to me. I jumped out of the car and bought him five skewers.
